prophet muhammad sallallahu aleyhi was
setting them and in our last halakhah we
had mentioned the birth of the Prophet
Sal Allahu alayhi wa seldom and the
details that we know regarding that
period of his life we now move on to the
period of his life that is his early
childhood that is him growing up as a
young child and the fact of the matter
is that we have very very little
information with regards to these first
20 30 even 40 years and as I said in the
last hidaka that if we were to gather
together the entire 53 years of mecca of
the prophecies Adam it would be less
than half of the next ten years that we
have information of in Medina right and
of these 53 years of course most of the
information begins after the age of 40
so the first 40 years the fact of the
matter is we have limited number of
incidents very few and I explained the
reasons for this and that is because who
is going to record and who is going to
pass that down and who lived long enough
and how numerous were the Sahaba and how
much persecution occurred right so a lot
of these factors combined but one thing
we believe as Muslims and this is what
we take consolation in is that anything
that we need to know Allah must have
preserved this is of course a
theological point right we cannot prove
it scientifically anything that we
needed to know about our prophet
sallallahu aleyhi wa salem we would
believe that allah azza wajal had
recorded that so the first thing that we
know of his life after his birth is the
fact that his mother gave him to be
raised in the desert now this is
something that is strange for many of us
why would a mother give her newborn to
be raised away from the house in fact
this was a custom of the elite of the
Quraysh it was a custom of the nobility
of the Quraysh and they did this for a
number of reasons so this was a status
symbol if you like it was something that
they did as being a part of this tribe
why did they do it a number of reasons
first and foremost they wanted the child
to be raised in a pure and healthy
environment
they wanted the child to be raised in a
pure and healthy environment and as you
know the infant mortality during this
phase of humanity in fact even up until
100 years ago the infant mortality was
extremely high and so one of the ways
they would protect the child is to
actually take it away from congregations
from what we call civilization such that
there's only two or three people
interacting with the child
ie one family right and as you know
disease is carried by people by by
people congregating together so when you
remove the child from this environment
you in fact increase the chances of its
survival so for the mercy of the child
and to increase the chance of the child
living then they would send him away
from the city also of course that they
wanted to remove the plagues and the
disease of the desert of the city also
they wanted to build stamina in the
child stamina and the child and make
them adjusted to a rough life now even
though from our standards life in Mecca
was unbelievably tough right but for the
people of Makkah they're used to it and
so they want to raise their child's in
an even more austere environment so that
they then become accustomed to the
hardships of Makkah because children
adapt to their circumstance is much
easier than adults and that is why a
child who is born in a very impoverished
scenario or situation or in a very
congregated or congested area the child
is content and happy right just as happy
as the child born in a rich and
luxurious family Allah has made us in a
beautiful way the child knows how to
have fun regardless of the circumstances
right unlike an adult now we're used to
a standard and if we were to laugh at
that Allah be diminished in that
standard life would become almost
impossible to bear even though many
other people in the world would love the
standard that we have been diminished to
let's say right so it is human nature
that children adapt to their
circumstance and this shows us that the
haurache had long term planning they had
vision that the child is raised in a
difficult environment such that the
hardships of matkah appeared like luxury
the hardships of Makkah then appear like
luxury another reason that some of the
people have mentioned is that growing up
in the desert away from the
family will avoid the pampering that
other relatives do we all know that
grandparents spoil the child let's say
right it's a rule of thumb grandparents
spoil the child
in fact some people say that's where
Allah created grandparents parents are
strict grandparents are lenient that's
supposed to be the case
so not just grandparents uncles aunts
extended family they all ruin and of
course every parent knows that no matter
how strict of the laws that you have for
the children when they go to their
uncles aunts when they go to their
grandparents what happens all those laws
go out the window so once again to raise
the child in a disciplined environment
right they would be handed over to a
particular family and the final reason
that the scholars of history mentioned
for this rather strange custom from our
perspective but from them they were
accustomed to it the final reason that
they mentioned is that the child being
raised in the desert amongst certain
tribes I realized not every tribe would
go into Mecca and and ask for it for
children these are certain tribes that
are known for this for this fact these
tribes were known for their fluency in
Arabic now the Arabs viewed the language
of the cities as being corrupted the
Arabs viewed the city languages being
there changed why because what happens
to any language it gets influenced by
other cultures any language gets word
loans from other cultures right so for
example if you read a modern Arabic
newspaper in our times 30 to 40 percent
of the words are English just Erebus
sized and as for Pakistan I would say 70
percent is in picture of the modern
newspapers right that's my problem I
can't understand because I don't know I
think is oh the word it's actually an
English word right limited company
Edition the whole thing is English I'm
trying to read what is this you know in
order to I don't understand it's not you
know coming in my head
the point being where does this occur
not in the desert not amongst the
villagers amongst amongst the city to
others right so the Arabs of the Quraysh
again they're thinking long term they
don't want the the traders from Yemen
from from all over the country to come
and corrupt their Karachi dialect so
what do they do they send them to the
pure areas the tribes that were known
for their fluency of the Arabic to be
uncorrupted to be speaking the original
ancient Arabic and the most famous
that was known for this the the saving
of let's say the pure Arabic is the Banu
bucket even sad the bow no sorry the
Banu Sahib in buckle the burner Sahib in
buckle and of course it was this tribe
that adopted or that took care of the
prophet salallahu alayhi wa seldom in
one authentic hadith the Prophet SAW was
asked tell us about yourself tell us
something about your childhood about
yourself
so the prophecies that I've said and I
that were two of e ibraheem la Boucherie
a syriza was started like 250 been
inside even bakr
I am the Dawa of my father Ibrahim
Ibrahim a Dada I am that manifested you
all know the dua Robin I hope I see him
rasoolum in whom yet through either he
my attic or a limo Makita would it
matter
well you said ki him so Ibrahim made a
door when he is building the first house
of worship and as he's putting the
stones in place and he's praying to
Allah subhana WA Ta'ala he makes a door
oh Allah send a prophet remarks my
progeny who will recite to them your
verse Pyrrha fie them and teach them the
book and wisdom
so he said anodyne were two of ibrahim I
am that Dawa I am that do I responded
well bushwah ana Bushra and I am the
glad news now some people have
interpreted this to mean the gospel
because what is gospel means good news
and the Christians they misunderstood
the whole point according to one theory
of Islam that when Jesus is saying that
you know I'm coming to preach the gospel
or the good news well the good news here
is in fact Bashara
Issa right because good news and gospel
is the same in Greek that's what it
means that the gospel is the good news
that's how they translated it so some
Muslim theologians and seems to be a
plausible theory some Muslim theologians
say that these references in the New
Testament that I have to send the good
news and I'm going to have come with the
good news this good news is not the
gospel as they understood it the good
news is as Allah says in the Quran and
as the Prophet system says that rasoolum
embodies Mohammed there's going to be a
prophet after me his name is Ahmed so
he's saying Anna Bushra Arisa after I am
the good news that my brother ASA
predicted and then he said what stars
are to
and I was a foster carer although I
means to be foster care foster care
means to be suckled by another woman
than your mother so I was foster cared
by the bunny sad even Tucker and the
bunny sad David Becker was the most
famous tribe known for taking care of
the children of the haurache known for
speaking the proper Arabic now you all
know the story of Halima we're just
going to summarize it briefly
Halima Pintus idea the famous foster
mother of the profitsystem she narrates
the story in the first person and it is
recorded in a number of books of hadith
and of ceará and so in Charlotte is an
authentic hadith no doubt about that
that she said that she and her husband
were suffering greatly from poverty and
this was of course now why would they
take care of a child they wanted money
obviously they are villagers not even
religious they are people living in the
Bedouins they are desert to others right
and of course as you know desert
dwellers they don't get much income life
is very tough so one of the reasons why
they would walk into Makkah and adopt
children from the rich people of the
whole age this was a custom only for the
rich and elite it was not a custom for
all of the people of Makkah only the
noblemen and as we know Abdul Muttalib
is the chieftain so his children and
grandchildren they must have this custom
this is a custom for the nobleman and
the elite and of course by the way in
our times the rich they have nannies
there is they have governesses right
this is the custom of our times in those
days this was the rich they would send
their children to the desert so Halima
Nair is that we were suffering greatly
from poverty
so she's explaining why would she want
to take another baby because that baby
gets money the parents give money and so
I convinced my husband to go with the
yearly there was a yearly time that the
women of Vanessa Vanessa diamond Bakr
would go to Makkah and would obtain any
newly born child who would be willing to
be adopted or not adopted but foster fed
for 2-3 years so there was a annual
event everybody knew this was the period
for one week they're going to come and
they're going to find out who has given
birth and they're going to go knocking
on their door and the mother of the
child will choose which of them seems to
be the one that
like the most just like we do in our
times you choose the nanny the governess
so the mothers would choose the best one
so Halima says that she had just had a
newborn now of course you have to have a
newborn to take care of another because
you're going to breastfeed so she just
had a child and they're suffering from
poverty and by the way she had an older
daughter as well so when the processor
was taken and there were two children of
Halima there was an older daughter
probably around seven eight years old we
can estimate her name was
Shaima her name was Shaima and so she is
the foster sister of the prophet
sallallaahu I did he was sending them
and she had a newborn son I could not
find the name of the son in the five or
six books that I looked up over the
early period of Islam Allah knows maybe
we'll find him in other books but I
could not find them in those original
books so she had a newborn son and she
had an older daughter
Shaima this newborn son of course is
what caused her milk to flow and so she
is able to foster care another child so
she goes with her group of newly mothers
because they're all new brothers you
have to be a new mother to take another
child on and so she goes with the group
probably five ten women from her clan
and they enter into Mecca and they find
out who has given birth and they hear of
the newest batch that has come forth in
the last five or six or seven months one
of them of course is the child that was
called the orphan child they were told
immediately there's an orphan child his
father's already dead some of the women
didn't even go visit the house of Amina
because the only reason you would adopt
the child is because you want money and
when the child is an orphan then it's
known that you're not going to get that
much money after all I mean words you're
gonna get money from Abdul Muttalib no
doubt he's the chieftain but he has you
know ten sons and five daughters and of
those so many grandchildren who's gonna
give a large sum of money for an orphan
so some women didn't even go to the
house of Amina others went and when they
saw how poor in the poverty they they
didn't like taking a child who was an
orphan Hadiya as well visited and she
tried to move on to find another child
because she wanted the money when the
week finished every one of her friends
had acquired one of these newborn
children except for Halima and the only
child remain
was the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wasallam so she told her husband
that I feel embarrassed it's it's like a
bit shameful that all of my friends are
going back now to the desert and they
have a child and I don't have any it
seems like it's I'm lost I mean it's not
fair meaning I want to be like them so
her husband said why don't you take the
orphan child perhaps Allah will bless us
through him notice there's good in his
heart perhaps Allah what maybe he's not
gonna bring that much money but perhaps
Allah will bless us and the shows the
couple were a good-hearted couple they
had good manners they would they were
thinking religiously as well even though
at this time their pagan but they
realized taking care of an orphan is a
noble thing
so our husband said why don't you adopt
why don't you take care of the foster
child that's an orphan perhaps Allah
will bless us through him and so they
agreed to take care of the Prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa send them
all the narrations say that as soon as
they took the Prophet Muhammad Sal
Allahu alayhi wa seldom the miracles
began right then and there that she only
had one old goat that had stopped giving
milk for a long time as soon as the
profitsystem entered into the tent the
goats
others became full she had an old mount
that they were riding the both of them
and when they put the profitsystem along
with the family on this ride on this
animal it became the fastest animal all
of these are mentioned and of course
this is no problem at all Allah as the
widgett blesses whoever he chooses and
it is expected that these things would
have occurred to those who took care of
the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
generally speaking this this foster care
usually lasted two years the custom was
to take care of the child for a year and
a half to two years right
so you don't come back the next season
you come back to visit you come back to
show the child the next season and the
child stays with the mother a month or
two and then given back to the the
foster care so after two years when the
time has come and in the middle Allah
knows how many times she came back to
show the child no doubt they must have
arranged something we don't have any
details but it's not as if there is no
touch at all there's no contact at all
every few months every whatnot there
must have been some type of returning
and Amina would have met her son the
Prophet
muhammad sallallahu aleyhi wa salem
during these two years the blessings
that Halima witnessed in her household
were so many that she was scared of
losing the prophets of the law party who
said them and so she invented a
million-in-one excuses in front of Amina
that the child is still young and I
don't want to sit and send him back to
the the city and is going to be
problematic and there's diseases and
plagues that will take care of him and
she kept on persisting persisting
persisting until I mean I felt that
there was so much care and love that
that the Prophet system is good hands
and so she agreed to extend this
contract for longer period even though
for sure she could not have given the
amount of money that Halima's other
friends would be getting but it is not
money it was the blessings that came
with the taking care of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa seldom of course it
was during the second phase of this
foster care that the famous incident of
Jaco Sadr of opening up of the heart
occurred and this is an incident that we
have no doubt about because the Quran
references because there are authentic
hadith about it because the Sahaba saw
the line on the chest of the prophets
asylum that showed that it had been
opened up so this is clearly something
that we believed in when the Prophet
system was four years old and
asymptomatic narrates the hadith is and
saw a Muslim so there's an authentic
hadith no question about it
that Jew deal came to the prophecies and
when he was playing with the other
children when when gibreel came the
other children ran away they're scared
the prophets of Sodom stood his ground
as a four-year-old kid he's displaying
bravery he stood his ground what do you
want from me
and gibreel came and overpowered him
Sahra abu this means that he was
struggling four-year-old kid is fighting
an angel the strongest angel allah has
created but he's not going to go without
a fight
again this shows the determination of
the Prophet Muhammad SAW Sodom so Judean
forced him on the ground you can't fight
Jubilee you forced him on the ground and
he opened up his chest shot cansado
she's two words opened up his chest how
what all of this Allah knows gibreel
does not need instruments to do what
Allah wants him to do he
opened up his chest and he took his
heart out and he took out a black
slither a black portion from the heart
and he threw it away and he said had a
helvis Shibani Mincha this is Shea pons
portion that he had in you pause here
for a sec before I continue the hadith
every child that is born Shaitaan pricks
him as soon as it is born according to
our profit system and I believe him
completely because I'm a Muslim our
prophets awesome said that is why babies
cry when they come out of the womb
because the child pricks him out of the
shaitaan pricks him out of jealousy out
of hatred out of anger Shaitaan wants to
harm the child as soon as it comes out
of the womb literally as soon as it
comes out this is the hatred and
animosity of shape on because Allah
preferred Adam and the children of Adam
over him so Shaitaan has become our
enemy even from the cradle up until the
grave so as soon as the child is born
shape on pricks and prods him and some
type of element Allah knows how and what
but this hadith demonstrates some type
of element is put into the child a lock
raise the child pure Shaitaan attempts
to corrupt it from literally not day one
minute one Shaitaan begins the
corruption process right from the
beginning and there's something then
Allah knows we're never gonna do this is
animal right that has some type of
connection some type of contact this is
perhaps how Shaitaan whispers into us
this is how now remember Shaitaan does
not ever control us Shaitaan doesn't
have a control panel like a these games
you girls you guys and girls play Wii
and on that just press buttons oh no no
Shaitaan cannot do that no nobody can
blame Shaitaan allah shaitaan force me
no Shaitaan does not force Allah says in
the Quran on the day of judgment when
mankind will say to Shaitaan why did you
do this to us
Shaitaan will respond Makana deity cumin
salt on I didn't have powers over you I
didn't control you Allah except one
thing and now to confess the job to me I
called you and you guys responded
that was the control I had I seduced and
enticed you you guys responded fella
tell you Moony why LUMO and foot succumb
don't come and blame me this
conversations in the Quran don't come
and blame me go blame yourselves I
didn't have any power over you so what
what this type of relationship is Allah
knows best but it appears that this
allows the Shaitaan access to whisper
into our thoughts that's really all that
it is that we get these bad thoughts not
coming from us and by the way when you
get a very evil thought a blasphemous
thought no this is from Shaitaan it's
not from you it's not from your heart of
Iman this is from Shape on something
really vulgar vile bad comes in you get
a desire to do something and you're
wondering where did that come from you
know the answer is from shapen and your
job is to fight it because it's just a
whisper it's not a control so that
relationship was cut off at the age of
four and this is proven by another
hadith that the prophecies on him said
that every child that is born shape on a
sign shape on meaning it bleeds the big
Shaitaan assigns a Kadeem to that person
every one of us has a cutting right now
right here maybe not in the message and
shuttle other outside but all of us have
a buddy they are with us 24/7 they know
us better than our mothers and our
spouses in our children because they're
with us what is the job of the Hadean
just to whisper bad things that's it now
look at the hatred that shape on and his
cohorts have for us why they spend their
whole lives just trying to miss guidance
that why jealousy and H hatred and anger
why did Allah chose you over us we
should have been chosen this jealousy
and hatred Shaitaan assigns a cut into
every one of us we all have our cuttings
and the purpose of the padeen is to
whisper these evil thoughts
so the Sahaba said even you are acerola
you have a Karim he said even I have a
Hadean except that Allah helped me
against him and now he's accepted Islam
and he only whispers good things to me
so the profit systems padeen whispers
good things and this I did again it
relates to this point that whatever
relationship Japan might have had it's
completely gone there is no other more
relationship because Gillian took it out
how the hell do shape on him in he took
it out and then he washed the heart in a
golden cup of Zemzem and then he puts it
back so he washed the heart and he puts
it back and he sealed it up he put his
hand like this and the heart sealed up
so we believe the first open-heart
surgery was performed by Djibouti upon
the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wa send them because it is a physical
taking out of the heart it is not just a
spiritual thing it is a physical taking
out of the heart so when the children
the the the foster brother and Shaima
who he was playing with when the
children ran away they ran back and they
said and they're looking in the distance
that there's a man throwing him on the
floor putting blood in and this and that
so they come screaming and running that
our brother has died our brother has
been killed a man has abducted him a man
has killed him and of course had him and
others they became so worried they come
running outside and they found the
prophet sallallaahu said of sitting his
face is pale spare Allah not wailing not
screaming not crying he's too brave for
you is the bravest for you all the world
has ever seen he's pale is suffered
something but he's controlling the
crying and the wailing he's sitting
there you can sense the fear that the
terror but he's not willing and
screaming and when they saw him they saw
those lines on his chest and Anissa
videomatic says I could see the traces
of that line on his chest Ernest is
narrating this hadith when the prophesy
was around 60 years old and he's saying
I could see the traces on that chest now
if Allah had willed it could have been a
clean cut Allah doesn't need to leave a
line you understand what I'm saying here
Allah doesn't need to leave a scar
because a lot heals and complete but
Allah wants to demonstrate that
something physical happened and there is
a physical line like you have in a scar
that NSF nematic saw that I saw I could
see that line in the chest of the
Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wasallam
this is the end of the hadith and so a
Muslim now
this incident of taking the heart out
and washing it occurred one more time
almost 45 years later when the professor
Sun went up to the journey of a
destroyer in Maryland were going to come
pop back to that Allah knows one but
we're going to come back to that and
we're going to mention again that
gibreel did the exact same thing that he
opened up the chest of the process and
before taking him on the journey and he
washed it in Zemzem water and he put it
back but there's one difference there
was no black cloth the second time there
was no black cloth the second time
because the black clot has already been
gotten rid of when the profitsystem is
four years old this incident was what
concerned Halima and she decided before
anything else happens let me quietly
return the profitsystem to Amina because
she doesn't know what's happening
strange things now she knows there's
something about this child now this
incidents happens and she gets worried
and so she quietly returns the
prophesies of them to Amina and that was
when he was returned to the care of his
mother
Amina of course the the spiritual
benefits that we derived from this
particular incident is that the Prophet
system is being prepared for a pure and
clean life the prophesies was being
prepared to live the most respectable
the most dignified the most pure life
that man has ever known and that is
because it is the son of Allah that all
the prophets have the perfect characters
it is the son of Allah that the
characters of the prophets are
impeccable that they cannot commit major
sins in Arabic we call it malsu or yzma
the prophet's asylums are all the
Prophet not even our just our process
and all the prophets are masam Madison
from what from major sins they can
commit minor infractions they can get
angry like Musa did they can do hasty
things like Yunus did all of these
things are human minor issues but they
cannot commit a major sin they cannot
commit any major sin and by removing
this so the Prophet system was therefore
raised in this pure environment even
though it was a spiritual cleansing it
was physically done it's a spiritual
cleansing of the heart but it was
physically done and it was
revealed in the Quran and Allah Azza WA
JAL mentions Alumnus lettuce or the rock
and pretty much all the scholars of
tafseer have said that this is a
reference to opening up a damn natural a
Castlerock haven't we opened up your
chest right and we gave explained a
number of weeks ago in the hold by give
that there's a number of interpretations
one of them is that and this is the
majority interpretation is that this is
a reference to the cleansing of the
heart the other interpretation does not
contradict it and that is Allah is
saying LM nitric acid Iraq ie by guiding
you to Islam because Islam is also Shara
has sudden Islam is called the opening
up of the heart so being guided to Islam
makes your heart open to Allah wisdom it
is narrated many many many years later
fifty years more than fifty fifty four
years later roughly during the battle of
hunayn which is one of the last battles
that the prophecies in ever fought this
is after the conquest of Makkah when
water ate and nasedo hanafi Danilov
watcher when all of the tribes are
entering into Islam that the tribe of
been resided in Bakr was also fought and
conquered and the tribe of butter sided
Rucker's the tribe of Halima and so as
the prophet salaallah said him is
walking one of the women who was
conquered who was the all of the
prisoners she stands up and or excuse me
no she is brought to the profitsystem
yes she stands up and makes a commotion
but the processing doesn't see and she
claims to be the sister of the prophecy
so you have a prisoner who's claiming to
the sister the process of table I didn't
know what to do so they brought her to
the Prophet SAW some and they said he
had a suit Allah
this lady is claiming to be your sister
so the Prophet SAW said how do I know he
knows who the sister is referenced
that's Shaima how do I know that's you
because everybody knows that Halima is
from this tribe now a woman stands
obsesses ayam desire give me a sign how
do I know that this is you so she said I
still have the marks of the bite that
you bit me when I was carrying you as a
baby
on my back
I still have that so the prophecies and
realize that this is Shaima now she says
a story that nobody would know right so
he says this is Shaima and so she free
he freed Shaima and he gave her many
many presents
it appears that Halima and her husband
were not in this present or not at this
occasion one that they were conquered
later on they came to visit after this
battle had occurred they came to visit
and so Halima and her husband visited
the Prophet sallallahu aleyhi will sell
them when he was in his late 50s and
when he saw Halima he recognized her
instantly because this is of course
Halima would not have changed that much
Shaima of course is six years old by the
time he sees her again this is you
cannot recognize but Hadiya mo was an
adult so he when he saw Halima he stood
up to greet her this is his mother's
foster madam he stood up to greet her he
took off his own shawl his own Rida and
he placed it on the ground for her to
sit on and in some narrations her
husband was with her and some narrations
and only mentions that Halima was there
and it is said in some of the books that
she accepted Islam and the prophesies
and gifted her immensely and they went
their way nonetheless getting back to
the story where we are now so shortly
after the profitsystem was returned to
Amina we only have one incident that is
recorded during this time there's only
one incident I have looked as much as I
could in all of the the ancient in the
classical works and there's only one
authentic incident that we know so
somehow Allah what else did Amina do and
what were the moments and what was her
talbiya we don't know anything there's
only one thing that has been narrated
that you all know and that is that Amina
decided to take her son to Yathrib now
let's pause here remember three four
helices ago he mentioned that the
Prophet systems great-grandmother was
from yesterday right now surely you see
the wisdom in a law's divine plan that
out of all the cities I mean all of his
other grandmother's grandmother's of
Karachi they're all from Mecca and it
just so happens that out thermal thought
Eve's mother Abdul Muttalib father falls
in love with
little girl or a girl from yesterday out
of all the travels surely you see Allah
has a divine wisdom plan that there
should have been a connection and there
was a connection between the prophets SM
and the ethic before the immigration out
of all the cities the only City he
traveled to as a little child and the
only city that he has other relatives in
in the entire surrounding areas is but
one small village of yesterday which was
B to be called Medina coincidence of
course not Allah has a plan Allah has a
plan and so and it was of course the
custom of the Arabs that they preserve
their lineage completely and they were
proud of their lineage as you know and
they knew exactly who was who for not
just ten generations all the way back to
they say Ibraheem or and then they would
preserve their generations they would
know who is who and they would keep the
ties of kinship why because this was
Jackie Lee society you are protected by
your relatives your prestige is
established by your relatives everything
there is no government there is no law
there is no order your relatives dictate
your protection wherever you go and of
course no doubt when your friends when
you have a relationship with people then
is that this helps establish the ties
and so I mean I decided to take this
little boy - yes rib and she had with
her the one servant that it is said that
Abdul Mutallab gifted them when they got
married and this is only Amon of the
Mota gifted his son when they got
married on me Amon and only Amon
unfortunately the so little known about
her and it is a sad because only Amon
did live a long time and she became a
Muslim and she even lived off until
after the death of the prophet salallahu
alayhi wasalam and if only somebody had
sat down with her and recorded stories
then we would have had a whole chronicle
but Allah has his wisdom that we don't
understand and know and only Amon did
indeed witness all of this and she lived
all going till the Khilafah Abu Bakr al
Siddiq she lived until that time but
unfortunately we don't have much stories
this is one of those stories that she's
telling so a lot of these stories they
come from Yemen because she's the only
witness right so only Ayman is the
I'm telling us the story of what
happened so I made a travel to yesterday
which is now called Modena along with
only Amon and the little boy the Prophet
Muhammad Sal Allahu alayhi wa seldom she
was around six years old at the time and
as you all know she they stayed there
probably a few months again we don't
have dates but when you travel that
distance you don't just say two three
days
you stay two three months you get to
know the tribe and the family and some
books of ceará do mention that the
prophecies have recognized some of the
buildings of medina when he when he
returned fifty years later that he
recognized some of the places that he
was as a child in the city of Yathrib
and the profitsystem stayed there for a
few months on the way back in a small
little settlement which is still present
to this day and it is called al agua a
Dubois Amina herself fell ill and she
passed away right then and there and I'm
Aiman had her buried by the people of
the village of WA and so to this day her
grave is at a place called agua and it
is reported in sahih muslim that on one
journey when the profitsystem was
returning home with the Sahaba and the
path to Mecca sorry the path to Medina
is straight ahead
he simply diverted away from the path he
turned away from the path and started
walking basically into the wilderness
away from the road they did have roads
not like our roads but they had
landmarks they know this is the road he
turns away from the road and he walks
away all the Sahaba silently just walk
with him not even asking a question
whatever the process does Samir know
well Dinah they're just walking with him
and the Sahaba who are narrating this
they say that the Prophet SAW said him
found a grave over there and he sat down
and he cried like we had never seen him
cry before
until his laiia his beard which is
mashallah it is narrated the person got
a very big beard his beard was wet with
tears and many of the Sahaba had never
seen him cry before this is the for many
of them is the only time that they have
seen him cry and it is narrated that we
only cried publicly a number of times
one when his son Ibrahim died they saw
him crying and this was the time when
they saw it so much
so that his beard sallallahu alayhi wa
and spatter that the Sahaba did not ask
one question they didn't open their
mouths but when they saw the process
that I'm crying the whole congregation
is crying with him this is the love that
they have they don't even know what's
happening but they're just crying with
him and they're waiting for him to
explain what is happening and then the
prophet sallallaahu Hadi he was seldom
said I had used to forbid you from
visiting graves pause here initially an
early Islam the ruling had been it is
not allowed to visit graves except if
you're burying the dead you only enter
the graveyard with a dead body and then
you leave and that's it
I used to forbid you from visiting
graves but I asked Allah to visit my
mother's grave now he's explaining I
asked a lot permission to visit my
mother's grave pause here again the
profitsystem does not take one step
without a loss permission he even wants
to get permission to go visit his mother
this is why he is Rasul Allah
that's why laka de Canada confi Rasul
Allah he who swattin husana that is why
he is a role model that he cannot lift a
finger except if Allah has allowed him
to do so so he's he's telling the Sahaba
I used to forbid you from doing so I
asked Allah permission to visit my
mother's grave and he allowed me to
visit her grave so now I am allowing you
there for the permissibility to visit
graves is from Amina ie when the
processer visited Amina the
permissibility that we still have in our
Sharia to visit graves it is from the
prophecies and I'm wanting to visit his
mother's grave Amina and so he said
Rahman and so he told us to visit graves
because it reminds you of death and the
fact that the profitsystem obviously is
crying in this manner I mean we don't
need to mention this is his mother
he must have memories not maybe that
many he was 6 years old when she passed
away but nonetheless this was his mother
and he is crying in this fire
the Sahaba have never seen him cry and
the Sahaba themselves are following the
Sunnah just crying with him because he's
crying so they cry as well really it
doesn't need to be mentioned the love
that he must have felt and the pain that
he must have endured at the death of
Amina and as I have said I have searched
in all of the classical works that I
have about more stories from Amina but
unfortunately I could not find anything
that is really of even a semi authentic
nature and as I said the reason for this
is obvious and understood who is going
to record in the privacy of a Mena's
household what she did with the
prophecies and I'm the playful times the
joy the laughing the tear who's going to
record all of this for us and so this is
something that we really don't have much
information about so the Prophet says
some his father passes away when his
mother is pregnant with him and his
mother barely has two and a half years
really to take care of him and nourish
him because he was being taken care of
by Halima as well and then when the
profitsystem is barely six years old he
loses his mother and his father so he is
then entrusted to Abdul Muttalib the
chieftain of the Hajj and once again we
really have hardly anything about
abnormalities relationship with the
Prophet SAS and other than one or two
tidbits that we have inhibin is half
that have been salad and other classical
books and of what even is half mentions
about this period and he mentions it
from some of the tabi roon so we can say
okay the table your own must have heard
it from their fathers and grandfathers
so inshallah it's a permissible to
narrate these types of stories it is
said that Abdul Muttalib would have a
raised platform in front of and
connected to the cab because he's the
chieftain of the Quraysh we already
talked about what happened when Abdul
Mutallab was a youngster was a young man
and how he was raised to this level and
why the people respected and we already
mentioned this we already said our
motive lived a very long life over 80 so
now he's already over 80 s already blind
yeah I'm the motive died a blind man he
lived a very long age so he had a raised
platform that was connected to the Kaaba
and around also time when the shade
would come this platform was in that
shade of the Kaaba and he would sit
there and discuss the affairs of the
horizon the polish would come and he's
the chieftain so this is where
is the public platform this is where he
would sit every single afternoon and of
course this is the platform that is the
equivalent of the king's throne nobody
sits on it
none of his sons none of his grandson
this is for Abdul Muttalib and the one
thing that we have recorded that once
the Prophet SAW said him as a young boy
came running and he jumped onto the
platform to be next to AB thermal button
his uncles as obeyed and others pulled
him back down because this is you're not
supposed to go there an abnormal thought
have stopped him he said leave him this
is my child and he can remain on this
platform so out of all of the
grandchildren the only one that he
allowed to be on that platform was the
prophet muhammad salallahu alayhi
wasalam and there's one more incident
that is narrated is it the only two that
we have from Abdul Muttalib and that is
that in one occasion the uncles of the
Prophet says that I'm sent the prophets
SM to find some lost camels and the
reason why they did this according to
him inside he says if inside by the way
is these are the two earliest references
of the Sira ibanez how could have been
sad so I'm going to say these names
throughout so you should be aware of
them even it's helped you all know I've
been side I wrote a book called Parvati
been sad died around 2:30 Hitler so he's
also very early and one of the earliest
books as well of ceará so even is half
time inside the both of them consider
are considered to be the most ancient
sources of the Sira that we still have
in our times
if inside mentions the reason why his
uncle's chose a little kid was probably
seven eight years old to go find the
camels was because listen to this he
never did anything except that it was
successful he was never assigned the
task except that it was a successful
endeavor that he did so now the uncles
are getting desperate camels are
expensive creatures the uncles are
getting desperate and they can't find
the camels so they decide well this boy
whatever he does it works
let's go send him out alone in the
desert to find the camels and when they
sent the prophets all I seldom he was
delayed in coming back and Abdul
Muttalib when he found out he was
furious at them how could you have done
this why did you send the boy now of
course they sent him because they want
the camel's back
right Abdullah motel was furious and he
was pacing and walking around
waiting for the process them to come and
as soon as he came he hugged him and he
said from now on I will never let you
out of my sight and this shows us that
he had a special care and a concern for
our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu aleyhi
was seldom as we all know at the age of
eight once again for the third time our
process and became an orphan first his
father then his mother and now his
grandfather one after the other he
became an orphan
if inside mentions a narration slight
weakness in the chain but no problem in
narrating it that one of the Sahaba said
do you remember Abdul Muttalib Rasul
Allah remember Abdul Muttalib was the
legend
remember this Abdul Mutallab was the big
guy before the coming of the process him
he is the legend of Arabia so they're
curious
do you remember up the melodica
rasoolallah so he said yes I remember
him and I was eight years old when he
died
so this hadith clearly shows even to a
slightly weak but it clearly shows the
age of the Prophet SAW said him that he
was eight years old when the problem
abdomen thought it passed away and one
of the things that I've done with
thought of did on his deathbed is that
he entrusted the Prophet SAW I said him
to his son Abu Radi and the reason of
course as we mentioned before the only
full brother that was still alive of
Abdullah was I will taught him Abdul
Mutallab had married five wives one
after the other he had married five
wives and from one of them he had a
number of daughters and two sons that
were still alive at this time and that
is of course Abdullah had passed away
and then Abu taught him so the full
brother of Abdullah was a boat bottom
unlike a Buddha hub unlike Hamza all of
these were not full brothers they were
half uncles of the prophets of the law
party he was seldom and so I will
thought it takes charge of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa seldom and i
bethought it lives a long life and I
will bought it passes away when the
profitsystem is over 50 years old so he
remains with the prophets of the law and
he will send them and we're going to be
talking quite a lot about him in the
future
had Ahad inshallah Tana question
why did allah subhanho wa taala put so
much trials and tribulations on the
young child why did allah azza wajal put
three orphan situations three traumatic
trials one after the other upon our
prophet sallallahu alayhi wa seldom I
mean if Allah had willed he would have
been born in the lap of luxury if Allah
had willed he could have had loving
parents until he became a prophet or at
least at least until it became a young
man an adult he can stand on his feet
why did allah subhana wa ta'ala will
such a difficult childhood
the response as our scholars mentioned
is that there's many reasons for doing
so first and foremost like allah says
about musa alayhis salam in the quran
was fun I to Killeen FC I was the one
who took care of you when everyone else
had was being killed or the Bani Israel
in right even your mother was forced to
abandon you I was the one who took care
of you what's tonight - cannon FC little
snug a tiny so that you may be raised
under my care and I know here means
under the care of Allah so and under my
protection and if this is what Allah
says of Musa then even more so for our
Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
seldom that no one can say that he has a
favor over the Prophet SAS at him for
having done anything Allah Azza WA JAL
took care of our prophet system and took
this responsibility directly another
wisdom is that no doubt it is tough and
it is difficult and it is in some sense
traumatic to be an orphan
yet at the same time being an orphan
gives you many qualities that the
Prophet system would need later on in
his life being pampered and growing up
in luxury is not going to prepare you
for a life of sacrifice for a mission of
calling to Allah of allah wa ta'ala no
not at all but being born in a harsh
environment not having your mother and
father to love you as we all know as
parents no one on earth can love you
like your mother and father
no one and when our prophet system is
deprived of a mother and father
automatically this makes the child more
in
pendant it makes the child more mature
gives him wisdom and this these are
qualities that the profitsystem would
need and this is something we notice in
every orphan child that this orphan
child is much more mature than his or
her peers and it subhanAllah even
another thing notice that a child born
in poverty is more mature than a child
born in luxury look look around you a
child born in difficult circumstances
right and somehow not to be
stereotypical but look at our own kids
here in America versus kids in
third-world countries and the
responsibilities placed on them and the
maturity that they have at five six
seven eight nine right this is something
reality my own kids are killed just as
guilty as yours so no need to point to
anybody we're all we're all in the same
boat here okay we're all in the same
boat here subhanAllah you go
quote-unquote back home and six-year-old
children are taking care of babies
completely mother has to go to the
mother has to work the six-year-old is
taking care here in this country I
wouldn't give a 16 year old care of a
baby isn't this true
right but this is what happens and this
is something we notice in our lives
imagine in the time of the Prophet SAW
so there is a divine wisdom
nothing happens except that Allah has a
plan behind it so by putting the Prophet
system through such difficult
circumstances this made him who he was
and he needed to be that man in order to
be the prophet of Allah Subhanahu WA to
Adam also going through these difficult
times makes you understand and
experience firsthand poverty
ruthlessness living in a harsh
environment and generally speaking this
makes you more sensitive rather than
more selfish it is the rich who are
selfish not the poor everyone knows this
it is the rich who are stingy not the
port well I look again isn't this true
the more you have the more stingy you
become and the less you have the more
open the more generous you are once
again our prophet's ism is going through
tough times in order to be compassionate
in order to be merciful and that is why
there are so many a hadith about taking
care of orphans surely brothers and
sisters don't you think
that in all of these are hadith the
Prophet system is also remembering
himself when he says Anna waka for deity
Makaha tini fill Jenna I am the one who
takes care of orphans will be like this
in Jannah when he says that when you see
an orphan say good words to him and put
your hair put your hand on his hair
there's a hadith like this put your hand
through his hair ie treat the orphan
with love don't you think that our
prophet system is remembering his own
childhood as well as an orphan our
religion has it as a central pillar to
take care of the orphan and our Prophet
SAW son was an orphan and therefore as a
personal advice to all of you here still
a bit of a tangent will lie the least
thing we can do is to find an orphan to
help and to sponsor that orphan Allah
has blessed us with so much wealth in
this land with so much that we have here
and our Prophet SAW said I and the one
who takes care of an orphan are like
this Anjana
so now don't you want to be like this
with the Prophet saws and right next to
him and Allah has blessed us with so
much find out there are so many programs
that take care of orphans and all you
need is 30 40 50 dollars a month well
lie we spend more on coffee and on our
television sets than we do on this and
there are people around the world there
are legitimate organizations that I
cooperate with and others are known to
be a legitimate that you go and find an
orphan in your home country and find out
how many I can help and make it a part
of your life that from now on I'm gonna
follow exactly what a prophet SAS
Adamson and of course our or on as well
mentions that's taking care of their
team and preferring their team over
yourself and therefore by going through
this traumatic time our prophecies have
developed that fondness that softness
that mercy that tenderness for not just
orphans but all those who are weak and
this is a necessary requirement for
being a prophet another benefit of this
is that this facilitated the prophets
essence being raised in the Ben who sag
so that he could become the most
eloquent of the Arabs and it is well
known that the prophet sallal are seldom
spoke at the best Arabic and in fact
there is a hadith to this regard as well
that Allah has blessed me
with the most succinctly most precise of
all speech booty to Joe ah me I'll kill
him I have been given the most profound
speech what is Johanna I'll kill him
Johanna al Kelly means a small phrase
can be explained and understood in
hundreds of hours a little bit of a
phrase and there's much meaning there's
much profundity in it and so allah
azzawajal chose this for our prophet
system for all of these reasons the
final story that will mention we have
only 10 minutes left the final story
that will mention is the story the
famous story that we have that our
Prophet SAW Allah said them took a
journey to Syria now this is a story
that we need to give a little bit of
academic detail to firstly what is the
story in a nutshell the story which is
mentioned in one book of Hadees tanana
Timothy realize brothers and sisters
most of the serie is not mentioned in
the books of hadith is mentioned in
ibanez health have inside these other
books a different genre and the
standards of those books generally
speaking are lower as we explained and
we'll explain it a little bit now as
well the standards of authenticity are
one degree less the books of hadith are
the most strict Bukhari Muslim abu
dawood till Medina Sahib in magic
mustard are the members under the dynami
these are the Ummah hat these are the
mother books we call them our religion
is based upon them our theology our fik
our legal our ethics is based upon these
seven eight nine books Muslim automatic
around these basically eight or nine
books the books of ceará are a level
beneath this in terms of authenticity
and that is why a lot of the incidents
of the serie are not as authentic if you
like as our hadith and our theology but
we have no problems narrating them
because so what if it's slightly weak it
tells us a historical detail not no big
deal sometimes however we get into
problems and this story is one of them
so we have to go into a little bit of
academic detail what is the story it is
mentioned that when the Prophet system
was still young it says he had not yet
reached puberty so we can say 11 or 12 I
will thought it took him on a journey to
Syria
and the book of the hadith and Timothy
says along with Abu Bakr and Bilal and
they passed by on their way to Syria a
monastery where a monk used to live who
would never give them the time of day
and his name was Barreiro this time when
they were with the prophets of Allah
Almighty he will sell them they said
that for the first time bahara
came out searching for them and greeting
them and inviting them all back to his
house for a feast and when they told
when they asked him why are you doing
this he said you have in your midst a
boy
meaning the prophets Allah said them who
will become a prophet he said that I saw
the clouds shelter him and I saw that
the trees
also sheltered him and that the stones
prostrated to him and so he sold
I will taught to take care of him and
while they were sitting there eating the
feast they saw seven Roman soldiers
seven Roman soldiers appear and their
soldiers allegedly are trying to find
the Prophet who's going to come and
capture him and kill him
mahira hid them and told the soldiers to
basically made an excuse they went away
and then will Jairo told abu talib to
take him back him immediately to Makkah
so the Prophet saws and was sent back
with Abu Bakr and belad immediately to
Makkah now this is the story in a
nutshell and it is narrated in some
basic form in Timothy and of course in
Obinna staff and others and most of the
scholars of our tradition have basically
accepted it at face value including
Timothy even Hodja al-hakim and others
however some of our more critically
minded scholars a little bit more Asura
verifying and ascertaining such as a
mammoth a hobby the famous Imam at that
be such has been Cathy the historian
there's also a famous scholar even say
you the nuts and others they said
something is wrong about this story
something is wrong about this story and
of those who critique that the most is a
man with a hobby mama debbie is one of
the greatest chroniclers and historians
of the 7th century and he is a student
of chaerephon Assemblyman Tamiya as well
you mammoth de hobby and this by the way
shows that he has a critical mind that
that he's not going to just accept
something at face value and this is the
hallmark of an intellectual of an
academic but you don't just believe
everything you hear
think about it see does it make sense or
not in our times I'll tell you our from
academia as you know as I study in
academia as well this is a whole genre
if you like or a whole methodology of a
modern study and it is called historical
criticism that you cannot just take the
books of history and then take them at
face value
read through dissect compare think is it
possible or not don't just accept
anything like this and this applies to
our tradition into every tradition and
Imam Madhavi says how can the story be
true Abu Bakr was not even it was just a
kid at the time and why would he go on a
caravan with Abu taught him I will
because not directly related to the
process and why would I will not have
taken as for bilal he hasn't even been
born yet well that has not even been
born yet and he was not acquired by Abu
Bakr until after Islam how'd it be
allowed to come into the picture and
then he goes on and he said why would
the trees shelter him when according to
the report the clouds are already
sheltering him why would the trees also
then shelter him and then he said why
don't we find the prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam reminding Abu Talib of
this incident when he became a prophet
he said don't you remember when I was a
kid didn't know how to tell us that I
would become a prophet why are you
rejecting me why did the Quraysh find it
problematic that he became a prophet
when apparently Pajero announces to the
world that he's going to become a
prophet in fact why did he himself not
understand what was going on when
gibreel came to him and wada era and he
went running to hadisha saying what
happened I don't know he should have
been waiting for the time and he's of
Trula told gibreel welcome you're so
late I've been waiting the last 35 years
for you why is he why is he himself not
you know certain why is he confused why
is he scared why is he terrified he
comes to Khadijah saying what happened I
don't understand Khadija has to take him
to water cause we're going
talk about each other in a few weeks and
what Allah has to explain this is the
gibreel this is the NamUs this is the
the one who comes to to Musa and Teresa
why why why why all of these questions
about now question arises okay well
maybe there's some some please some
scholars have said okay be nada
al-bakr are incorrect details but then
let's accept the rest of the story two
points here firstly the same story that
says banana no bucket also says the rest
so why are you picking and choosing what
to take in and leave secondly and this
is the reason why someone like myself
really I have to say this story should
not be mentioned except to clarify that
it's not authentic the problem that
comes with this story is that most of
the non-muslim historians and
researchers have found this missing link
that they were looking for in this story
and they said aha look this is where the
Prophet Muhammad SAW seldom acquired all
of his for information about Jews and
Christians because you have to realize
there was no information about Judaism
and Christianity in Mecca
there were no Jews and Christians living
in Mecca there were no libraries in
Mecca
there were no Old Testaments and New
Testaments the Arabs did not record the
stories of Yusuf and and and Moosa and
Jesus it's not relevant to the arabian
culture right the Quraysh have nothing
to do with Moses and Jesus and a of
course not Abraham but it's how and the
Benny is how the Bene Israel correct
right this is a lost history for them
and the prophecy son comes along and
this is a question that to this day they
don't have a good answer to he comes
along in the middle of a JA Healy
environment completely uneducated and he
begins reciting the histories of people
that were not his own and there is no
university there is no education he
himself is an illiterate man there are
no books in Makkah where did he get it
from
and Allah mentions us in the Quran
ma-kun technically make it happen what
at the hodo who be a minik you didn't
use to recite novels before you didn't
use to write books before where'd you
get this from Allah says in the Quran
till command and by la vie nous hey I
take ma-kun Tattaglia muha anta welcome
oke amicably hada these are the stories
you tell to your people you didn't know
this
before neither you know your people
ma-kun ta'allamu have you didn't know
these stories Latoya come we neither you
know your people knew these stories so
when this boy IRA story comes along
Orientalist and this is what they do
almost all non-muslim scholars who study
Islam they say AHA this is where he must
have gotten information now even if the
story is authentic this is ludicrous the
Prophet system is 11 years old he's
barely sitting half-an-hour one feast
one one event right how could you got
all so even this we say is ludicrous
even if the story is true your theory
doesn't make any sense well an 11 year
old kid memorize all of this information
encyclopedia ik information in a
20-minute conversation 30 min
conversation and then regurgitate it 40
years later it doesn't make sense but we
don't even have to go that far because
we say look even our own scholars such
as a therapy such as if inside the NASA
and others they have pointed out that
this story doesn't make sense any mana
therapy himself said this story I feel
is fabricated he said I feel this story
is fabricated and this is something that
we need to be very cautious and careful
about that this is a whole other topic
altogether and that is a fabrication of
hadith unfortunately throughout our
history people many of them sincere
minded love to just fabricate things
about the religion why they have their
reasons some of them had evil reasons
but many of them have good reasons so
one person fabricated lots of a hadith
about for the idol Quran there's a very
famous fabricated hadith about every
single surah has a blessing the blessing
of bacala is this the blessing of Ali
Imran is this the blessing of of Nisa is
this every surah and when Imam Muhammad
and others finally captured this
fabricator so how could you do this how
could you fabricate about the book of
Allah he said oh I found the people
getting busy in in fit cunning and in
books of history I wanted them to go
back to the Quran so I fabricated
something maybe they read the Quran
because of it so he has some now by the
way in those days they were interested
in the books of him he wants them to go
to the Quran imagine
you know the Muslims of our times they
only go to Bollywood and Hollywood not
even imagine what people would do
in our times
the point being throughout history they
have been people who for whatever
reasons they have wanted to just
fabricate and this is why there's a
whole science called the science of
hadith it's a very detailed it's a very
structured science this was my
speciality in my undergraduate in Medina
I've studied from the College of hadith
and it is a four-year program that we
had we went over how do you tell an
authentic hadith from an inauthentic one
a Sahara from a ballet from a fabricator
so whole specialization so we have to
understand that when it comes to the
serie a lot of people they just because
of emotionalism because of this and that
they wish to just add things that are
not found in the earliest books right
and I already give an example in the
last halacha that when the prophet saw
son was born he had his fate finger
raised to the sky that he fell into
sized in front of allah this and that
well let you listen to it and it doesn't
make sense
and you don't find it in the earliest
books you find it in books written 900
hit you know how did this guy find out
what the process was in he was born
right
this is fabrication you have these
stories that the Prophet system did not
have a shadow right you don't find this
edematous hawk you don't find this it up
inside you find this once again the
people they want to exaggerate we don't
need to exaggerate our prophet system is
the best human being and what we know
about him is enough to tell us that when
we put these stories in well line we
give our religion a bad name what people
look at it is what type of religion is
this what time we don't need to do this
Allah has told us what we need to know
and in the authentic blessings of our
Prophet SAW Sodom
there is plenty that we can stick to we
don't need to resort to these pseudo
fables and these legends and it's
disservice to us it will harm our
religion and our profit system is not in
need of it so in my opinion and in the
opinion that there have been others this
story about the monk and O'Hara it
doesn't make sense logically it doesn't
make sense even think about it if Mahara
had truly said to abu talib that this is
going to be the profit of the arabs
surely abu talib would not have found it
strange surely he wouldn't have told the
profit system why are you preaching this
message surely the Quraysh when they
would have found out about it
again it's common sense it's not
something that it makes sense that this
occurred and therefore Allah knows best
but this story does appear to be weak
inshallah with this it is time for the
that we have a few minutes for questions
I'd like to point out this is the last
zero class before Ramadan I'll not be in
Memphis for most of July I'll be coming
back end of July we'll have some
programs for Ramadan
inshallah of Ramadan preparing Ramadan
before ramadan inshaallah and then we
will resume after ramadan in ramadan
inshallah we have a lot of things
planned inshallah we'll have every day
of course there are we and the sealed
lecture every single day inshallah about
the recitation that we've done between
the the four rakat we'll have a little
bit of tafseer inshaallah lots of
programs during ramadan of course
there's a grand fundraiser which we have
very very hamdulillah blessed speakers
coming
we have Imams rajma Hodja confirmed
hamdulillah coming to Memphis and then
we have chef abdel karim goosh who is
the most famous reciter of the Quran in
North America and he won the world
competition of Quran recitation in
Makkah he won that competition a few
years ago he became he's basing with the
top parties of the world and he's now
living in America hamdullah have a good
friendship with him so I convinced him
having to come with us on that same
night we're having a major event on that
night amongst rajma Hajj and she have
the Redeemer the gooc are going to be
coming for that evening
unfortunately Arabic our team is not
going to be for the whole month I wish
but just for that one night he'll be
here so that's gonna be a big event as
for Sierra we will resume as we said
after Ramadan and we're going to talk
about the remainder of the pre
prophethood of the prophecies from his
marriage to Khadija other incidents that
occurred the rebuilding of the Kaaba
although this will resume after the
month of Ramadan the eden lillahi tod
any questions that we have before the
Adhan
yes quite
so there's an i end of quran that says
well may you read on the grubby no pile
of Shaitaan if I will cut in there's an
ayah that says that whoever turns away
from the remembrance of allah that allah
azza wajal will then basically allow a
shape on to become a cut in this uh dean
is not the korean mentioned in the
hadith this cutting is not the cutting
mentioned in the hadith and allah knows
best but this cutting seems to be more
evil or more powerful than the other
cutting because the other cutting we are
supposed to fight him and it is not that
difficult to fight him seeking refuge in
allah and spitting on the left saying I
would've Allah these types of things we
can fight that cutting as for this one
Allah says those who turn away from my
remembrance then we will basically allow
the Shaitaan to become his cutting so
this type of cutting it means that when
a person has left the remembrance of
Allah and the worship of Allah the
angels no longer surround him and his
associates around him his spiritual
associates only become the share team so
that is not the same as this hadith in
which the process from said when the
child is born Shaitaan assigns a felony
but he literally means a companion but
it means a companion we know that we
have angels who are also our companions
of fighting is they did they write mal
for the middle a the day he knocked a
boner at Eid we know that their angels
are also recording and their shayateen
as well this is allah azza wajal has
assigned and allowed for this to occur
and allah a lock down Adam where there's
any questions sister's murder
can shape on cause depression Shaitaan
has many tactics that he uses and one of
them is to cause a type of what you
would call depression because the
purpose of Shaitaan is to get you away
from the worship of Allah and he uses
any means necessary and one of the
things that takes a person away from the
worship of Allah is basically to be so
mentally engrossed in a problem in a
most liebe that they just sit there and
they sulk and they don't do anything
and there's no question that a lot of
these mental diseases a lot of them
either they are caused by or they are
exacerbated made worse by Shaitaan I
have no question that this is the case
and I firmly believe that even many of
the psychological and psychiatric
diseases in my humble opinion they are
caused by Shaitaan and that is why
people of Iman automatically can battle
these emotions more than people without
Iman in other words when you have faith
and by the way this isn't just even
Islamic faith even for example a
Christian right who's ooh loves his
garden but not such a person overall
this optimistic they had a survey done a
study done generally speaking religious
people are more optimistic than people
without religion because Allah created
us to be religious right generally
speaking religious people have a better
outlook on life and they get over
calamities and problems better now we
would say when you're Muslim even better
than this right and when you have Iman
even better than this so all of this yes
indeed Shaitaan does use any tactic any
means necessary and one of them is to
have these psychological problems
how can you overcome that the same way
you overcome religious laxity the same
way you overcome tough love the heart
the same way you overcome not having a
relationship with allah subhanho wa
taala first and foremost increase your
ibadah doing a bada automatically links
you to allah increase in quran increase
in vicar increase in salah these are the
main actions are provided that bring
about immediate spiritual satisfaction
secondly as well knowledge knowledge as
well brings about an understanding of
the Deen and that is why even for
example this knowledge I mean this is
not me saying this this is the Quran
saying when you have in your Eman goes
up right and I am sure that every one of
you just by listening to these these
talks not because I'm giving them but
because it's about our prophet's ism
your iman goes up right so simply having
a knowledge of the religion as well
making sure that you say all of the
necessary earth cow to protect yourself
from Shaitaan when you leave the house
when you enter the house when you eat
food when you go to sleep when you wake
up there's a whole routine and the more
you perfect your earth God the less if
you like a power that Shaitaan has over
you and our professors and I've said
that Vicar of Allah remembering Allah is
a protected fortress issneun Hal seen
that protects you from Shaitaan it's a
pretty imagine having fortifications and
walls and barriers
that's what the core of Allah does when
you have Vicar of Allah you have a
histone Hal scene which is a double
fortress as a protected fortress so all
of these things they help us of course
obviously dua to allah so again what in
my ends are under comedy shaytan another
one faster is billa that one Shaitaan
throw something into your heart nozzle
this is the nozzle when she'd want throw
something into your heart first there is
Billa seek refuge in allah subhana wa
ta'ala and also by the way for
depression what not one of the one of
the simplest cures as well is to hang
around righteous muslims not to be alone
not to be sulking to be in social
company of righteous people who will
remind you of allah and bring you closer
to him
I witness inshallah we will conclude and
open the floor make the floor for that
which is a cool ah hilarious aromatic
