mallamma r-rahim al-hamdu lillah wa
salatu was-salam ala rasulina why the
early he was IB he woman while I am a
bird so last Wednesday we had talked
about the blessings of Medina or the
city of Yathrib and the Father in the
hadith the specialities that Allah Azza
WA JAL and the prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam have mentioned about the city
of medina today we're going to continue
on and talk about the demographics of
medina who lived there and can we have
any population estimate the demographics
of medina
we all know that there were two major
ethnic groups living in Medina the
Jewish tribes and the Arab tribes so the
first question we need to ask ourselves
where did these Jews come from where
what are they doing in the middle of the
arabian peninsula and then the second
question which arabs are these where how
are they related to the other arabs and
what is the relationship between the
hood and the arabs in yesterday in
medina realize before we even began that
this issue is a very politicized very
polemical one it causes a lot of debates
and that is because the accusation that
non-muslims gives a give of our religion
amongst many other accusations one of
them is that it is anti-semitic and
anti-semitic means that their cue
accusation is the religion is racist
against the jewish people and that the
prophet's asanam had certain
inclinations to disregard the Jewish
people or to treat them in a negative
manner this is the accusation right and
the way that the tree the three Jewish
tribes were treated the Banu período de
Bono Hanukkah the banana leaf
the way that these three Jewish tribes
were treated one after the other this is
their basis for this accusation ok so
this is a very sensitive topic and it is
one that whenever if you ever give dower
to non-muslims eventually this comes up
number of things the process of marrying
multiple women the age of Aisha and then
one of the most important things how he
dealt with the yahoodi tribes
right so when we talk about it in this
context especially in North America we
need to understand clearly what happened
without being apologetic by now all of
you know me that insha'Allah you have no
doubt at all I'm not an apologetic I'm
not an apologist what is an apologist
somebody who wishes to water down Islam
and make it compatible or palatable to
all the enemies of Islam I don't care
what people criticize Islam if it is
true we will have to defend it and we
have to believe it and if it's not true
then we tell them it's not true right so
if they say that you guys do X Y Z X Y Z
is what we do we say yes we do this
whether you like it or not this is our
religion right and if they lie about us
then we say no this is not true and if
it is true then we also have to explain
so did the prophecies of my multiple
wives yes he did then we need to explain
the rationale there's wisdom behind it
and in explaining this we are not
watering Islam down we're simply
defending and we're simply explaining
that people should not be critical so
this is one of those topics I'm just
talking about it for the first time but
do realize that throughout the next few
weeks and the next few years because the
medina serie is three times the McGhee
serie Soloff Allah gives us life we'll
continue this I will have to go into a
lot of detail into these Jewish
relationships because it is important
for American Muslims to be aware of the
details of what happened some of which
sound politically very incorrect
and some of which have no problems with
our basis is not political correctness
our basis did the process them do it if
he did what is the wisdom that's what
our methodology is going to be so before
we even go on this tangent today we need
to discuss a very important question
that will contextualize the rest of this
dimension and that is where did these
Jews come from and what are our sources
for the stories about the process I'm
and the Jews now realize one of the
biggest problems that we face is that
non Islamic sources have no mention of
these Jewish people at all
so the only reference we have to these
tribes is from within the Islamic
tradition as of yet we have not
discovered any history any chronicle
that mentions the tribes in Medina
now there are references to Jews in
Arabia in other is la source a--'s but
from the Islamic sources we get all of
the details now this is considered
problematic by non-muslims for us it
doesn't really matter that much by
non-muslims is considered problematic
why because they say these sources are
biased they all have an agenda and what
is the agenda to defend the prophecies
of them no matter at what cost because
they're all Muslims so they're not going
to be fair and balanced that's only one
network is fair and balanced right
otherwise the Muslims can never be fair
and balanced right because according to
them they will have this bias to defend
the Prophet SAW Selim
so we'll never know the full story
anybody who opposes the process of
according to them will be painted in a
negative light and can you believe there
are articles that I have read myself
that defend Abdullah braveness salute as
being a noble man as being a leader
why because again the point is anybody
who opposes the process is painted
negatively he must have been a good
person so they flipped the entire
narrative around and they make the
leader of the Moon ar-15 the real true
John gentlemen and noblemen of Medina
and the same applies to the other
stories as well so we need to be very
cautious and careful about how we're
going to interpret the sources so we
began by saying there are a number of
theories about where these Jewish tribes
came from some of these theories were
simply said by the early scholars and
some are propounded by later scholars
the first theory is that these tribes
were sent by the prophet musa alayhis
salam himself but the prophet musa
alayhis salam sent a small group to the
land of Hejaz why because he knew that
the Prophet Mohammad Ahsan would come
from that
and and so he wanted a group of his
followers to believe in him and welcome
him this is a theory that one finds in
early Islamic sources and Eliza wigeon
knows best it does seem a bit strange to
be honest and it doesn't seem very very
sound Danny why would musa alayhis
salaam sent some of his followers when
he is the prophet of that time and the
people should remain with him and he
knows that there's going to be another
prophet he said between him and the
prophecies in him and Allah who Adam but
if he probably knew that the other
prophet would come after a long time and
that's over two to three thousand years
Allahu Alem but this is one theory that
some Muslims have another theory which
seems more reasonable and this actually
might have some references and non
Islamic sources as well mention another
theory is that the Jews of Medina
settled in Medina after they were
expelled from Jerusalem now let's pause
here and everyone should know that once
upon a time Suleiman alehissalaam once
thought a man was the King and Suleiman
was the Prophet all the hood of course
were in Jerusalem obviously that is very
true we hope tonight us as obvious they
were they were there and Solomon and his
lamb had built the big temple the Haken
he had built the big temple of Suleiman
now over the course of the next hundreds
and thousands of years the power of that
state collapsed the Romans became in
charge and then the Christians at times
even the Persian Emperor was in charge
of Jerusalem so over the course of the
next 1500 years until Rahab conquered
Jerusalem Jerusalem was in between many
different people it was controlled by
pagan Romans pagan Rome as they hated
the Christians as well it was controlled
by the the Persians at times and at
times it was controlled by Christian
Romans so different groups had
controlled it now there were two major
explosions of the Jews and according to
the majority of scholars of Islam it is
these two expulsion that are mentioned
in the Quran in surah - Ezra if you read
the first page of soot
I saw a lot of vanuatu a dimensions to
expulsion and to punishment sent upon
them right
the majority of Quranic scholars
consider these two to have been the
ancient - of the past and I should just
add as a footnote some modern scholars
of the Quran and I don't I haven't
really studied and - and and I don't
have an opinion myself some modern
scholars say that this reference in
Surat Annisa is - a future event and not
a past one and if you understand through
the Israel this changes the whole
dynamics of what the surah is talking
about right and that is a tangent that
is not relevant to this class but
there's a new group of scholars that is
saying surah that is surah is not
history
it is prophecy so today Sarah's not the
past it is the future and that changes
the entire dynamics if you understand
the surah and what is being mentioned
but that is one theory the majority of
scholars in our history have always
understood
surah today Sarah as being history ie
the - expulsion what are these two
explosions the first expulsion took
place in 587 BC before the Christian era
587 BC and this was when Nebuchadnezzar
who was an evil tyrant rule baktun Assad
in Arabic Nebuchadnezzar surrounded
Jerusalem and for the first time in the
history of the Jewish Empire destroyed
the high caliph Suleiman the original
Hyken the actual temple that Suleiman
had built and this was considered to be
one of the wonders of the world why
because the jinn built it obviously it
was a structure the likes of which man
had never seen it was massive and
beautiful it was a feat of architecture
it was considered to be one of the seven
wonders of the ancient world you might
have heard of the seven wonders of the
ancient world seven a few like creations
of man that were just unparalleled one
of them was reputed to be reputed to be
the HEI kind of Suleiman and of course
we as Muslims we believe the reason why
was because he had the jinn building him
Allah Allah says in the Quran right that
the jinn are been
now in whaha was right that they were
but not architects and Hawass diving
deep into the water to get what they
needed so they're doing things in the
water what did they get from the water
what pearls what beautiful exquisite
treasures and but not they're building
structures so Allah subhana WA Ta'ala
tells us that when a man was given this
so the the Heinkel of Sulaiman was a
amazing structure that stood solid for
four or five hundred years untouched and
then allah azza wajal will that the
first of the destructions occur and this
is as I said in 587 BC and this was when
the original temple was destroyed this
temple was when it was destroyed it was
the first time the Jews had to flee it
is called the Diaspora and the Jews are
known throughout history for having many
diasporas they are there could they call
themselves the wandering people the
wandering peoples why because since that
time they've never had a unified land up
until as we know 1947 so they have
always been in different lands up that
was the beginning the first diaspora and
it was at that diaspora that large
groups left for many lands we know for a
fact they went the majority the majority
of them went to Iran and they stayed
there for many decades or hundreds of
years until finally King was it cyrus
allowed them to come back and so many of
them came and many of them remained and
Iranian Jews therefore are considered to
be of the most ancient of the Jews and
are plenty still in the world if you go
to Los Angeles there is a whole area of
Iranian Jews over there an entire area
over there where you can see their
restaurants and their stores and whatnot
and they're well known this is perhaps
one of the largest groups of Iran of
Jews in the Middle East before the
creation of Israel that was in Iran so
that would that's one area they want
also they want two areas of Iraq and we
know that Iraq had a lot of Jews in the
time of the Umayyads early Omegas has
was full of Jews about that as well
gufa and well dad where did they come
from this first diaspora it is also said
that
went to Yemen but it appears that the
majority of the Yemenite Jews are from
the second expulsion and Allah knows
best were they do they go back that
agent or not we know that Yemen had a
lot of Jews in it
we know this up until now you know they
were Jews until 1947 and the Yemeni Jews
and the philosophy Theo Pia are of
course related they are in fact the same
branch so from Yemen they then went to a
bashar ethiopia so those two are also
the branch of the yahood so there is one
theory that a small group of Jews in 587
BC emigrated to Hage's this is a theory
there is no architectural evidence
there's no you know record this is one
theory personally I doubt this because
that is taking the presence of the hood
back a thousand years before the
prophecy system and that seems too early
Allah who item it seems too early for
the entrance of the hood but this is one
theory now this was the first expulsion
the first diaspora the second
destruction of the temple so eventually
the Emperor the future Emperor becomes
kind and he builds the temple again but
of course he builds it so it's his
structure not Sulaiman structure right
so it's a fake imitation a cheap
imitation of the real structure
nonetheless it is a magnificent
structure from his perspective in other
words he does a good job right so he one
of the Emperor's was basically took some
kindness on them and built a massive
temple for them this as well was about
to be destroyed in a few decades and
this is yani ii destruction according
the majority of scholars that allah azza
wajal
sent upon them and this happened after
the coming of a sub demonium after the
coming of jesus christ under the emperor
Titus in 70 CE II under the emperor
Titus in 70 CE II there was a second
destruction of the temple and this led
to a second diaspora a second time that
they hood fled in many different areas
and there was a third not destruction of
the temple but a third major diaspora
when in 132 C II a group of Jews decided
to rebel against the ruler because the
ruler
forced them to I believe don't quote me
here I think that they were forced to
commit I think the ruler wanted
them to sacrifice and pig to an idol or
something so they revolted against this
right
so it was sacrilegious and obviously our
sympathies are with them in this revolt
they revolted against the emperor with
an armed revolt and the Emperor brutally
slaughtered hundreds and thousands of
them he surrounded the city he just
basically massacred them and this is the
Emperor Hadrian
the Emperor Hadrian in 135 he didn't
destroy the temple but he slaughtered
hundreds and thousands of Jews and so
they fled once again it is said and this
seems to be Allah who I am the one that
makes the most sense that this wave of
immigrants some of them running and
fleeing helter and sculpture some of
them wander down south into the Arabian
Peninsula because Jerusalem is due north
and they're just wandering down and they
come across this fertile ground that has
lots of date-palms there are no
inhabitants there at the time and they
settle down over there and this is the
original yet rippln right so the who are
the ones who actually found yesterday
according to this narrative and one
group settles in Yathrib another settles
in fiber and yet urban Highbar are
relatively close to each other ok one
group settles and yet they're under
labor and it is also said another group
continues down and the largest of them
continues down until they reach Yemen
right and the Yemeni Jews were the
largest quantity of Jews in the Arabian
Peninsula right in fact when the process
that I'm sent more I live in Japan to
Yemen what did he tell wild he said
you're going to go to a land that is
Jews and Christians yeah leaky tap right
and that is because in Yemen there were
there was a Christian himyarite kingdom
and they were Christians because Abraha
had conquered parts of Yemen and he had
installed the governor there a lot of
people converted to Eastern Orthodox
Christianity and they yeah and the Jews
were there from this expulsion
so Yemen was a land where there were a
lot of Christians and Jews only Yemen
the only land in Arabia that had
Christians and Jews yesterday as we said
one theory these people who work their
way down to Yemen
one group of them settled in yathreb and
then the rest continued down right this
is one theory yet another theory is the
exact opposite and that is well not
exactly modified and that is that the
people of yesterday are actually the you
the Jews of yesterday are actually from
the Jews of Medina
so the first theory has it that the
people from Jerusalem are wandering down
and small pockets remain in Yathrib and
the bulk goes to Yemen right the other
theory has it the other way and that is
that from Yemen small pockets emigrated
and they worked their way up and so they
some of them ended up in yathreb now in
either case and this is an interesting
point it establishes some type of
relationship between Yemen and they
would correct either case because the
first batch the first theory they would
have eventually found out that their
relatives migrated to Yemen correct and
the second theory they are the
descendants of the M&E jews correct so
both of these theories link them to
Yemen and in my humble opinion this
makes complete sense as we're going to
come to now this makes complete sense
and it fits in perfectly as we're going
to come to now a tangent here some
modern researchers looking at the
reports of the Jews in Medinah and
seeing what they had of institutions and
trying to find phrases that are found in
Arabic that the Jews used right this is
a very meticulous research you're trying
to reconstruct who these jews were so
some researchers have a theory that the
jews of medina were not from the sect's
of mainstream Judaism they were from a
very ancient sect called the Karaites ka
ra ite Karaites
pause here you should be aware that
judaism has many sects as we all know we
in America are only used to three of
them the conservative the reformed and
and Orthodox the ascetics are a branch
of the Orthodox the conservative their
form and the Orthodox these three sects
are completely modern they go back 100
years in America has nothing to do with
classical Judaism so we can ignore all
of this for classical Judaism classical
Judaism we don't we don't want to talk
about the sex to use them that's a
different class altogether
but realize there were two main streams
once upon a time two main streams the
first of them was called rabbinic
Judaism and all of the Jewish groups in
our times go back to rabbinic Judaism
rabbinic Judaism look at it as the Jews
who are required to follow the rabbi's
rabbinic so the rabbi's interpret the
law and they follow the rabbis the
second group of Judaism of Jews and this
is the theory that this group is from
that second group are the Karaites by
the way in our times the Karaites are
only forty thousand in the whole world
there are very miniscule and it I have
never met one in my life they're very
small group they're still around the
Karaites reject the authority of the
rabbis and they say we need to follow
the Torah directly we're not going to
have the intermediary of the rabbi's
we're going to follow the Torah directly
now this is a bit simplistic but the
point is that there is something called
rabbinic Judaism which has call it look
at it look at it this way
books affect the rabbinic Jews are going
to follow books effect they're not going
to go back to the Quran and Sunnah being
equivalent here right the Kara I Jews
reject these books but this is not the
original Sharia the actual Sharia is the
kitab and so the quran is under right so
they're going to go back directly to the
Quran and Sunnah this is Kara I Judaism
now the point being some scholars have
tried to research this and it appears
that the Jews in Medinah were Karaites
if this is the case then we can say that
the theory that they emigrated one when
they were expelled from Jerusalem makes
sense
because that was the time when Kara
adjud ISM was predominant rabbinic
judaism began around four or five
hundred seee
and the expulsion took place 1720 see
this is you see why we're interested in
what type of Jews are because rabbinic
Judaism after four hundred see the bulk
of Jews are rabbinic Judas so these Jews
have nothing to do with rabbinic Judaism
so therefore they arrived in yesterday
before 400 C II therefore this adds
weight to the fact that they are from
the expulsion of Hadrian and an Titus
you guys following them I'm going to
tour the different tangent but this is
the introduction to a very important
series of topics afterwards now Allahu
Alem I also have an opinion and may
Allah forgive me for daring to have an
opinion but at the same time with all
humbleness and modesty very few people
try to study the serie also looking at
other sources like Western sources Roman
sources Greek sources other sources that
we can find things about and this is
unfortunate one of the problems that
very few people are doing it in this
manner
you either have people who are not
Muslim will reject the Quran and Sunnah
and rely completely on these sources and
then you have Muslims who are not even
aware of the other sources and they
completely rely on this we have a lot of
information for other sources and we try
to get piece together a picture Allah
who I have a little bit of a theory in
this regard take it or leave it and that
is that the question is very interesting
there were three famous Jewish tribes of
Medina you should memorize these names
we're going to coming up over and over
again the ban okay no pas de Banu nadir
and the bonobo Ava okay
bon okay no carbo no no the Banu Qurayza
okay question Jews do not divide
themselves into these types of tribes
Jews don't have tribes this is an Arab
phenomenon Jews do not have tribes they
were considered now if somebody says the
twelve tribes of Israel that was ancient
this is now long gone even in the time
of the expulsion they weren't these
tribes anymore that was ancient in the
time of in the time of devil in the time
of moosa and haroon yes they had the
twelve tribes of bani israel right but
this they just merged together they just
they did not continue that tradition and
they became one nation one ethnic group
right so the question arises how did
these Jews of Yathrib get divided up
into three tribes when if the story is
correct they're all coming from one area
and settling in yesterday it doesn't
make sense for them to be three separate
tribes and these three tribes were
having battles with each other in the
Wars of woth in other words there's a
civil war taking place between the Arabs
and between the Jews in this civil war
the oath is on one side the husband's on
the other and the Jewish tribes
themselves are divided and fighting each
other you see the the problem here right
if there were one unit one group of
people how come they're divided into
tribes and how come there's a civil war
you understand the question here right
so the theory that I have in allah
subhanho wa taala knows best is that
there's an element of truth in more than
one of these stories and these three
tribes represent three different
immigrations of the yehud to you through
three different time zones and therefore
when each time when each new group
arrives they're not considered part of
the old one because this is now
completely broke broken away right and
so this is one theory and again i don't
know anybody who has suggested this but
there is very little discussion in the
islamic sources of the origin of these
tribes anyway if you look at it minutes
hop no mention at all where these jews
come from look at it min so this is not
something that people are thinking about
where all of these people come from
nonetheless this is one theory and allah
knows best and we're never going to know
unless you find external information but
it does make sense that there must be
some reason why these three tribes were
separate from one another
that's the
theory I have now this is the first
group of people the yahood the second
group of people are the Arabs the Arabs
were themselves two tribes now
alhamdulillah we know the Arab tribes
the Arab tribes their lineage is mapped
out and by the way some modern groups of
scholars they actually even deny that
they were real Jews in Medinah some
modern non-muslim scholars they deny
this why many reasons that perhaps some
of them felt embarrassed that this
happened to the Jews so they said these
weren't real Jews who were they
they were Arab converts to Judaism they
weren't you know in the Jewish religion
you have to be ethnically your mother
has to be a Jew right for you to be
considered a Jew so if you're a convert
then most Orthodox groups of Judaism
don't consider you in fact all of them
don't consider you really to be a Jew so
there is a theory that these Jewish
tribes were not actually Jewish that
there were Arab converts to Judaism this
is a ridiculous theory for one simple
reason if they were Arab converts we
would know their lineage we would know
where they're coming from the Arabs
whatever they did they preserve their
lineage and these three tribes appear
out of nowhere there is no connection
with Adnan and cotton at all so when
there's no connection we have
connections with every single Arab tribe
to adnan or con remember we talk way
back about the two main founders of the
arabs right I dunno thought that we have
every single tribe you can think of the
kinder the Kenan that's a play of the
kora we can trace it all the way back
as for the Ainu even the names by the
way I know car and poor Allah these are
not names that are familiar to the the
Arabs or not they're there Judas Jewish
eyes Arab names so the the theory that
they are converts holds no weight
because there's no lineage and all Arabs
have a lineage to these two now the
original settlers therefore in this land
were yahood where did the Arabs come
from and who are the Arabs did the aus
and the hustlers the O's and the Khazraj
we know much more about them because
they're Arabs so when we're talking
about Arabs we can map out the lineage
the O's and the hoes ROG they are
descendants of cotton cotton and none is
the process rooms ancestor right
remember go all the way back there were
two major
founders of what we now call Arabs I'm
man and a Pathan right and generally
speaking Pathan was more southern and
Adnan was more central generally
speaking and it's my eels descendants
mixed with Adnan and his descendants
and so the prophecy Zaman the collection
called I'd nannies and Quran is the
other major tribe now the bulk of middle
arabia Hejaz is Adnani Horatius Adnan
Salif is and then all of these tribes
are Adnani
in fact the only group of pathani Arabs
in the whole region is in Europe and as
I said last Wednesday and clearly again
we cannot be 100% sure we don't speak
Arabic on behalf of Allah but it does
appear that this was what Allah is
wasn't intended that the Kalani and the
are and the Adnani tribes would merge
together in early Islam to show the the
real unity that there would be no more
animosity between Fatah and Adnani that
anybody who opposed the Muslims could
not do so on ethnic grounds and this was
the precursor to unite all of the Arabs
right yeah out of all of the tribes the
profit system is Adnani
and he settles in pavani and the two
come together under the banner of Islam
it seems more than just a coincidence is
the point it seems a lot soprano Atta
intended this so where did these paths
Lonnie come from what are they doing
here if they live in Yemen here we go
back to the story of pathani arabs don't
worry I'm not going to bore you too much
if this is boring personally I find this
very interesting but people are
different some people don't like this
ancient history
Hani's the the people of Yemen if you
like the O's and the Khazraj go back to
the city of Rob and Matt Rob is the
people of seven the people of seven you
know Saba is mentioned in the Quran ders
a surah in the Quran surah at 7 right
the people of Saba Allah is origin
mentions him in the Quran and Allah
mentions one thing about them that is an
amazing feat that the whole world knows
about them and that is they were the
first human beings ever to build a dam
never before had a dam bid build been
built and by the way that dam still
stands to this day it is what 2,000
3,000 years old system not all of it but
you see still to this day outside the
city of Arab you will still see the dam
and this dam was a feat of Engineering
it blocked up the water so that there
could be rivers flowing and a lot of
other dimensions in the Quran luckily
Canada 70 Mosconi he Maya Jeanette Anna
and Yamini Mishima
Kurumi rest Arabic was kuru rebelled at
Dante he batoon war up one of food Allah
blasts them like he hardly blessed
anybody else at that time and Allah
mentions is the Quran and they had
rivers flowing from this dam and the
rivers gave them beautiful gardens
gender Tanya meaning women you know
there were gardens that on the right and
the left of the city and it was a
beautiful place and then Allah punished
them how did he punish them the dam
collapsed far sell nodding him say
LaLaurie me this is say that item
sailing item is the the item dam
collapsing sale is the the the the water
flowing right say that adding me so
because of their insolence and their
arrogance they were punished and the dam
collapsed and this led to again hundreds
and thousands of people dying many
villages destroyed and many other
Yemenis had to migrate away and this
occurred most likely around 300 ce e
most likely around 300 ce e so around
three centuries before the coming of the
prophet saw seldom two hundred fifty
years
for the coming of the process and I'm
the man up dab dam collapses and a lot
references in the Quran say that item
and so groups of Yemenites have to
emigrate now here is where I go back to
what I initially said some of them
outside hazards were cousin tribes they
literally go back to the same person I
was a hostage with cousin tribes so
there is some blood relationship so we
can understand why the two are together
so oohs and ahhs ROG they end up in
Yathrib why again nobody knows but this
is all theory again take it or leave it
but there's no nothing wrong with giving
theories and Allah knows the truth if we
say that the yahood of medina had
relationships with yemen it makes
complete sense for the Yemeni of
kotani's to be aware of an established
settlement that has nothing to do with
the adnan is because remember there's
animosity v3 had none and Cawthon right
there always was tension up until the
time of the process um there was tension
in fact even the elfelfa duel that took
place it was a war between ad nineties
and part Anees up until that time they
were still fighting right so if there
was some relationship between Yemen and
those yehud and I gave the theory that
there is then it makes complete sense
that the O's and the Khazraj would have
known again these would some travelers
what not they would have known of a
group of Jews they would have felt
comfortable being with them because
they're already comfortable with Jews in
Yemen perhaps even there was some
trading Allah knows again this is who's
gonna have records in 300c II who's
gonna have this is all theories that
we're gonna have but the question still
and it's an unanswered question why
eighth rib how did the Olson hostage end
up in yesterday and there's already you
yahood over there unless there was some
type of relationship beforehand you see
my my theory right some type of
knowledge beforehand so the OS and the
hostage settled down in Yathrib and the
two of them benefited each other the two
of them benefited each other how so the
hood were skilled in agriculture in
weaving of course
they were businessmen the Arabs had
knowledge of war
the Arabs had knowledge of the language
and so the Arabs Erebus sized the Jews
ie the language became theirs right the
culture became their living in Arabia so
all of the Jews began speaking fluent
Arabic now they still spoke Hebrew by
the way we know this from the Syrah we
know this from the Syrah and obviously
it's understood I mean any minority
retains its language for many
generations you know especially when in
the middle of the desert so they
retained their their their Hebrew but
they spoke fluent Arabic as well and
they took on the culture of the Arabs
and the language of the Arabs and the
dress of the Arabs with some any you
know yahoodi as well influenced but they
kept much of their their culture and
they adopted Arab culture so when the
part on is the Yemenis they also the
Khazraj arrived in Yathrib it appears
that they didn't arrive together and
again this is a theory nobody was an
eyewitness writing chronicles of 300 C
ie 200 before the Hitler right 250
before later who is going to be
recording this the theory goes as
follows now we know for a fact that the
O's had asked permission from the Banu
Qurayza
and the Banu nadir the two jihadi tribes
and formed an alliance with them and the
hostage had taken permission from the
babadook a new car so the question once
again arises how come these two Jewish
tribes sorry these two Arab tribes have
different Jewish alliances the theory
the two of them didn't arrive at the
same time maybe 10 15 years apart or a
few years apart that the first tribe
arrived and that is the oaths and the
O's got the alliances and took some
protection from the largest of the
yahoodi tribes and that is the Banu
Qurayza and the Banu nadir and this also
explains why the Ouse were richer
because the OS were richer than the
huzza rich and the O's had a higher
income they were socioeconomic ly better
off and they occupied the better land of
Medina because in those days land was
also tribal you your house was where
your tribe was it's not like an hour
times anybody buys any No
you lived where your tribe was for
protection for safety so the O's had the
best plots in Medina the most luscious
Gardens of Medina and the hazard edge
had the lower territories the ones that
were not as luscious so therefore it
appears that the O's arrived before and
one theory goes the who needed manual
labor they needed people to basically
farm the land it's too large for them
and so they allowed the O's the
opportunity to basically uh what's going
to be a good word here not rent-to-own
not least owned but basically fraction
it out you take charge of the land you
give us a fraction and you take the rest
right
it's basically yeah you do the manual
labor and you give us a percentage of
the of the of the produce and you can
basically Maya man the land and take
charge of it so the outs and the
hustlers therefore settle down in this
manner and over the course of the next
250 200 years this solidified the
relationship the oath and the HUD Raj
had their alliances with the yahood and
each of them had wars with each other
and therefore when the civil wars took
place and I said the civil wars lasted
for more than 100 years the civil wars
lasted for more than hundred years the
worst of them was the bath war which
took place five years before the Hitler
of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
seldom and it is also known that uh the
Jewish tribes financed the O's on the
one side the Banu nadir and the battle I
know pot financed the Hazara on the
other side so they actually were
involved in the civil war right did they
actually fight or not we don't have
references but there was clear clearly a
divide between the Jewish tribes and the
two Jewish tribes were helping uh
different sides the oaths and the hazard
now question arises
the number of people living in Medina
how many very difficult there was no
census nobody's gonna go house to house
and how many people right but we can
kinda sorta get a glimmer kinda sorta
how so well by looking at the battles of
better and ahead and Honda seeing how
slowly but surely the city is growing
the total population of the three Jewish
tribes seems to have been around 2000
men we get this by doing a tally of
Vanunu Levi okay no car and Banu Qurayza
each time something happens we have a
number roughly of men adding all of
these men together 2,000 men multiply
that by 3 for women and children you get
six thousand Jews roughly in Yathrib
when the profitsystem emigrates roughly
six thousand we also know that in the
conquest of Makkah the unsought add
around four to five thousand men
participating in the conquest right so
four to five thousand multiplied again
by average of three you have 12 to 15
thousand Arabs so quantity wise the Arab
seem to be doubled the Jews but the Jews
had the power because they had the money
and because they had the land the best
land because they had fortresses the
outs and the hunters did not build
fortresses the Jews did not live in
Medina proper they lived outside and
they had fortresses each of these three
and so a rough quantity we get of the
people of Medina roughly around 24,000
people and this is a relatively large
town start a small town for the time to
have 20,000 people seems to be a very
good number and we've already said that
the yahood were more sorry the arrows
were more than the yahood we just have
one narration we have time for and then
it is a time for dr. Bashar to make a
presentation and dr. Bashar we can go
late because raesha is just starting in
ten minutes so you can go for 20 minutes
a shell in our problem inshallah and the
final thing that we're just going to
mention here is we talked about the
demographics and I need to
basically go back to where we left off
from the story of the Sierra connect the
demographics and Medina to the story of
the Sierra and the next lesson we start
talking about the profit systems first
few days in Medina and so we conclude
today by talking about the profit
systems arrival in the city of yesterday
that when we had already talked about
sort of time and Matic we had talked
about the story of Omaha but we had
talked about the number of people who
converted along the way and now the news
has spread that the profit system is
about to arrive and so every single day
the ansar would go outside of the city
towards what is now Papa waiting for the
prophecies and to come because he they
know it's only a matter of time now and
every day they would go there in the
morning and wait until around 10 11
o'clock when the Sun got too hot and
then they would have to go back and go
to sleep because it was too hot and so
one day they went in the morning waiting
and nothing happened and they came back
by 10 11 o'clock and in the distance the
prophecies and Rebecca appeared but
there were no unsolder because they were
already back home in their houses and it
so happened that one of the yehud
because there were the ones on the
outskirts and because they were the ones
who had that part of line one of the the
Jewish men was on the top of the the
tree plucking the dates so he was the
first to see in the distance the
prophecies and a worker coming and the
excitement of waiting for the
profitsystem
were so immense that had even affected
the Jews or it is an exciting thing it's
about to happen and this is the case in
any community that anything is happening
everybody feels happy about it so the
Jews that you became so happy he cried
out at the top of his lungs that Oh
Arabs your king has arrived notice he
knows that they have adopted
quote/unquote the process as their king
or Oh Arabs your king has arrived and he
too is excited and notice he says your
kings because from the beginning they
did not expect the prophecy to be there
forget prophet even ruler and there was
going to be tensions to come because he
didn't say my king he said your king has
a right he's excited because everybody
is waiting but he doesn't
grab it to himself because that's not he
they they felt that till up until this
point they always felt that that's their
business we have our business they will
not interfere in our business but slowly
but surely that did happen and so the
profit system when the news spread the
unsought out in hordes hundreds and
hundreds of them and the profit system
entered according to one report on the
second of Roberto according to another
on the twelfth or a barrel on a Monday
in the fourteenth year of the data which
was to become the first year of the
Hitler and Alberto even a Samaritan saw
a Muslim that I saw the unsought all
dressed up coming out in other words as
soon as they heard the process of him
they actually dressed up in good clothes
to come and to greet him and over 500
men came outside all of them armed
meaning to as a welcoming committee
armed and dressed and they accompanied
the professor saram the women climbed up
onto the houses the children are
thronging around to see and the
profitsystem is surrounded by literally
hundreds if not thousands of people all
of whom believed in him all of them are
happy that he is coming and for the
first time we get a glimmer of hope
changes in the air it's not like Mecca
where he's persecuted or he's tortured
for the first time there's excitement
there's buzz there's there's a freshness
happening that for the first time people
in the hundreds and thousands are
thronging to welcome him to to greet him
we can we can sense the the joy the
vibrancy the change in the air we can
sense that a new tide is coming that the
change has begun that the blessings of
allah subhana wa ta'ala will signal a
new era and this is the seed of the
first Islamic nation and the story of
its nurturing and his expansion and is
flourishing will insha allah tala be the
story of the Medina's serie the medina
serie and that inshaallah Dada
we will resume in our next Sierra class
I will now hand over to dr. Bashar one
final point I will not be here next
Wednesday I will be abroad so the Sierra
class will be resumed to Wednesdays from
now so we'll get an email and inshallah
two ones
we'll resume the zero class dr. Bashar
the floor is all yours
we already announced the Asia timing
from the 1st of April will be 9 p.m.
Risha from the 1st of April 9 p.m. in
sha allah okay I need questions while
they set up the PowerPoint you have any
announcements as well yeah sure whatever
you wanted any questions
all of this will come I don't want to be
hasty but do not lean about no pain no
car but no pariah each one of them has a
long story and we need to be very
careful and cautious we need to explain
the details and rationale so when it
come the time comes
oh the the the Quran itself references
they're waiting for the next prophet yes
the Quran reference is this but they
expected that prophet to be one of their
own they didn't expect him to be someone
else the Quran references the surah
Baqarah bukharin oncologist ft una la
latina Cafaro i think it's verse 130 140
something it's in that area that allah
says they were expecting a victory over
the US and the Khazraj
and the oaths and the Khazraj say that
whenever we had a war right the yehud
would tell us that it's only a matter of
time before our prophet comes and will
Massacre you so they're waiting for a
prophet according to our legends and
sources they are waiting for a prophet
does it answer your question yes in
medina they're waiting for a prophet in
Medina
yes this
this is the theory that is given and
that is that just like Salman al-farsi
knew that one of the signs of the
Prophet is what that he's going to come
in a land of dates right
so this this knowledge was known we know
this for a fact it was known why
shouldn't these you who'd have it as
well they probably also had it and so
there again it doesn't negate the theory
that when they're fleeing from Hadrian
or from Titus they settle in a land of
dates because they know that the Prophet
will come in a land of dates right yes
one of the the specialities of the
people of Medina is that they had never
been conquered by any tribe even though
two three times this was attempted but
they had never been conquered by any
tribe so there was a relationship of his
people would come trade and leave there
was never a conquering so the ocean
hazards were independent in spirit okay
Zachman okay we will continue in sha
allah next not next Wednesday to
Wednesdays from Nora Shalom
