we will resume after our hiatus of
taking a break resumed our story of the
seal of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
seldom and the lessons and morals that
we can derive from them and our last
halacha we had talked about the incident
of the boycott the incident of the
boycott of the prophet salallahu alayhi
wa seldom and the fact that for and
again we don't know for how long a year
and a half two years maybe even three as
some people said but most likely lesser
than that or maybe a year year and a
half the banu hashim took on a
self-imposed exile because of the
economic boycott as we had explained the
boycott was economic look what I said we
won't we will not buy and sell to the
Banu Hashim
we will not marry any of our daughters
or our sons we're not going to propose
to the Banu Hashim and so in in anger
and self righteous anger Abu Talib said
we're just going to leave Mecca if
you're going to treat us this way we
have no need for you and so they lived
in the valleys that was owned by the
Banu Hashim and they allah azza wajal
allowed them to eke out an existence
with great difficulty until finally we
explained how other members of the hora
sympathized with the Banu Hashim and
they orchestrated the annulment of the
boycott and when this occurred Abu Talib
along with the banu hashim returned to
Mecca and this occurred in the 10th year
of the Dawa around two and a half to
three years before the hitter of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the
10th year of the Dawa now barely had
they returned when allah subhana wa
ta'ala willed for three great calamities
one after the other three great
calamities one after the other each one
of which was its own difficulty we
cannot say each one was bigger than the
one before each one was its own
difficulty and these three calamities
all took place in the span of two months
and because of these three calamities
this whole year is called the year of
sorrow the year of sorrow I'm Alison
because of the calamities that the
profitsystem underwent the first of
these calamities which took place around
six weeks
some even say five weeks after the banu
hashim returned to Makkah was that above
all it fell sick and the pangs of death
began upon him it was clear that he was
about to die after he had lived a full
life after he had done what he could for
the profitsystem to support him and
protect him now the pangs of death came
upon him and that he eventually passed
away in the month of Shawwal of the 10th
year of the dawa in the month of Shawwal
in the tenth year of the Dawa and we
have a number of authentic reports about
his death the most authentic one we have
a detailed paragraph inside a body
itself a detailed paragraph in sahih
bukhari about the death of abu talib and
it says that when abu talib reached the
nearness of death when the pangs of
death began upon him the prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa seldom entered in
upon him while abu jahil was there and
the prophecies and i'm said to him oh my
uncle say la ilaha illallah one Colima
that i will be able to argue with you in
front of allah subhanahu wata'ala
Kelly matin or ha Jukka be high in the
law if you just say this Colima I have
an excuse if you don't say it I don't
have an excuse and he was about to say
it he was about to say it but there with
him was Abu jahil and Abdullah ibn ABI
Omega and they said to him hear about
all him a terrible a militant Muttalib
are you going to leave the religion of
Abdul Mutallab your father and they kept
on saying this to him every time they
thought he was gonna say it they said to
him yeah about thought if you're gonna
leave Abdul Muttalib is religion and
they kept on going back and forth until
the last that he said he is upon the
religion of Abdul Muttalib
he never actually said la ilaha
illaallah and so when the prophet
salallahu alayhi wa salem saw this he
said i shall continue to ask a lot to
forgive you a stealthy run netic i will
continue to ask a lot to forgive you
until allah stops me from doing so now
pause here for a while the prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa Selim's role was to
obey the commandments of allah and the
general rule all of the prophets they
don't just make up their minds about
what they want to do they have to wait
for a laws commandment and generally the
prophets obey this commandment however
the profit system in this case fell so
emotionally attached he said even if
Allah hasn't told me to I will ask him
to forgive you unless he stops me from
doing so so his emotion dictated to him
something that Allah had not told him to
do and that is that I'm going to ask a
lot to forgive you unless Allah stops me
from doing so and so Allah subhana WA
Ta'ala revealed in the Quran McHale and
individual adeana Amman and yes Salafi
ulama Shekinah Wollo aniconic aruba
member dmattia Nana home and no mas
Hubbell Jaheim this is surah at-taubah
surah at-taubah that allah says it is
not appropriate McConnell in Nabi and
it's a beautiful reprimanding Allah
didn't serum you say to him you made a
big mistake
Allah didn't say to him that how could
you have disobeyed me rather Allah said
to him in a very gentle manner mcconnell
in na ve it is not right for the prophet
or for the believers that they ask a lot
to forgive anyone who's going to hell
even if their relatives it's not right i
mean you are the prophet of allah you
know that he didn't die upon tawheed
it's not appropriate that you then ask
allah to forgive him when you know that
he didn't die upon tawheed so allah
subhana wa tada revealed this verse and
the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa seldom
desist it from seeking his forgiveness
Allah subhana WA Ta'ala also revealed
surah al-qasas at this time and in surah
al-qasas allah subhana WA Ta'ala says in
Nicoletta demon bebeto Wallach innallaha
D Menasha that Yuya rasoolallah will not
be able to guide those whom you love
rather Allah guides those whom he wishes
to guide you yaara so Allah will not be
able to guide those whom you love rather
allah subhana wa tada will guide those
whom He wills and in another hadith and
Abu Dawood Sunan we find that it was in
fact Ali ibn Abu Talib who eventually
came to inform him that his father had
died so from this we actually come
together that the professor son visited
a bethought him on his deathbed but he
wasn't there when he died so he tried he
tried he tried then he went back home
then perhaps a little bit later Ali came
and said to him that your uncle has
passed away your uncle has passed
meaning his own father and another
version in namaka ball your misguided
uncle now this is the son and the son
had obviously you mean he felt more of a
disappointment in his own father that he
hadn't accepted Islam so there is more
harshness in Ali than there is in the
profit system to a boot on it because I
li feels you understand and he feels a
double disappointment that this is my
father and he didn't accept Islam and so
when he dies he goes to the process and
he tells him
your uncle and in boodles report your
misguided uncle not even my father your
misguided uncle has died so the Prophet
SAW said him said to him go and bury him
and Ali said but he died a mushnick
meaning how can I bury him you see he's
not a Muslim and so the processing said
go and bury him and come back as soon as
you have finished burying him don't do
anything on the way come back as soon as
you have finished so I will he went and
buried him and then he came back and the
dust was still on his body and the
Prophet SAW said I made a long drive for
him and Ali said that I would not give
up all of those doors for this world and
all that is in it that the processor
made dwell for him
to calm him down and to bring him solace
and comfort so I did never thought have
said that I would never exchange all of
this for the world and all that it has
contained in another version and this is
a version that we have mentioned the
story before but according to some
narrations this occurred right now and
let me pause you for a bit and say that
as we have said many times before these
13 years of Maca we actually have only a
handful of incidents we don't have that
much and to make matters worse we really
don't have a chronology unlike we know
better occurred this year ahead occurred
this year as a bakr this year when it
comes to the mecca and events the
chronology is very difficult for many
reasons because we hardly have
narrations and what do we do one person
is narrating one incident and there's no
context to provide when it occurred so
according to one interpretation and this
does make sense the famous story where
the people visited Abu Talib and they
begged him to prevent the professor son
from teaching no matter what and Abu
Talib said to the process that look my
people have surrounded me what do you
mean to do one version has at the
beginning of the serie another version
has it on his deathbed abu jahal
and earth baby no Maya and what he did
Ben wrote but they all came to Abuja Abu
Talib and they said you are about to die
resolve this conflict now or else is
gonna get into Civil War and this also
makes sense that they tried one last
attempt through Abu Talib and the
condition was as long as he keeps to
himself will keep to ourselves so fair
and square now enough is enough let him
cut off from us let him do what he wants
don't interfere in our affairs we won't
interfere in his we're not gonna win
over him we're not gonna kill him in
your lifetime now that you're about to
die prevent a civil war by telling him
to mind his own business and we will
mind our own business and this is
reasonable as well to understand this
story as taking place now and of course
as we have said it some people say at
the beginning of the serie they
we have multiple instances of them
coming to a booth Olive is my point
right and it does make sense that before
he died they attempted one more time and
according to this narration in fact then
when the professor senem came that was
one abu jahal is standing there and
Omiya is standing there and abu jahil
and attempts one more time through abu
talib to prevent the processing from
preaching abu talib says that my people
have surrounded me basically what do you
want me to do now give them this one
condition just do what you want but
don't interfere in their first what does
it mean don't interfere in their affairs
don't speak against them
don't ridicule their idols don't say
their idols are are meaningless you
preach your own to your people
mind your own business they'll mind
their own business so the Prophet SAS
and I'm said yeah um I would give them
yeah I will give them this if they just
give me one Kalima meaning one condition
right the meaning of Kadima means one
phrase if they were to promise me one
Colima i will give them what they want
and i promised them that all of the
kingdoms of the arabs and the item will
be theirs so abu jahal stood up and said
we will give you not one ten conditions
ten calamus whatever you want and this
is when the Prophet SAS and I'm said the
Kalima I want from you is la ilaha
illa-llah give me this calaman I will be
quiet and you will have the Arab and the
Adam under your control and this is one
Abu jahil said that we will never give
you this calaman and then he tried it
with his uncle I will taught him that
yeah I'm you say this Colima and I will
have an excuse in front of allah
subhanahu wa'ta'ala and abu thought it
was sweet
abu thought it was about to say in
another version of in his hawk it
mentions that when they left he told the
prophet saw some directly that i would
have said it were it not for the fact
that my people will accuse me that now
them about to die and i'm scared of
death i will accept it out of Hajj l out
of fear and he has this sense of pride
so all of the good things of abu talib
aside he clearly has an element of
your racism in him it's racism it's
jahiliyyah right all of the good aside
he has this element of i am better than
all of these people because my father is
Abdul Muttalib and I am a representative
abnormal Talib and I have a legacy and I
don't care what I have to keep up this
legacy and this shows us that it's
possible for a man to combine so much
good and so much evil right the only
real crime of Abu thought it was this
arrogance of pride this ancestry and he
would not give that up even until death
even he know he knows his nephew is
truthful he knows his nephew is truthful
and in his poetry which is recorded in
many books including ebony socks serie
in his poetry he says what if I died him
to Anna Deena Mohammedan that I know
that the Dean of Mohammed men hide Allah
dyani
that this is the best of all religions
of this world while ll malama and were
it not for the fact that people would
criticize me ie his ego is more
important than the truth that people are
going to make fun of him that you have
left the religion of your father and
embraced the religion of your nephew
right you have left your father Abdul
Mutallab and you know do you know what
the motive is where you went over this
over and over again do you understand
what the mythology is the legend of the
Arabs the legend and this is the main
son and the leader and the carrier of
the legend the eldest of the children
alive is Abu Talib and so for for people
to say he left the religion of his
father and he embraced the religion of
his nephew this was too much for him and
so he refused to accept Islam even
though in his heart he knew that his
nephew is not lying
and he's witness with his own eyes the
miracles of so many miracles of them is
the miracle of the heating up of the
treaty right that we were already said
he challenged the Quraysh and he told
him that I believe my nephew my nephew
told me that the entire contract has
been written up except for bhisma Kalam
right and he rested his entire prestige
on that challenge and it came out to be
true and
still he died without accepting Islam
and I bust the younger brother bubble
taught him he asked the prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa seldom that yaris
ooh-la-la hell are the nadir and Amica
shape
have you benefited your uncle anything
for in Nevada Canada Yahoo to Kauai hola
Bullock he used to protect you and be
angry on your behalf
did you benefit him at all he used to
protect you and be angry on your behalf
and so the Prophet SAW said naam yes I
was able to benefit him who I feel blah
blah Hinman and now he is on the
peripheries of the fire of hell
voila ljubljana like an aphid or kill as
funny and were it not for me
he would have been in the depths of the
fire of hell that because of my Shafa
because of my shafa Allah has removed
him to the peripheries and were it not
for me he would be in the depths in a
hadith and saw a Muslim in fact we have
even more details that the prophecies
and I'm said that the person who is a
kowloon a CA da band phenom the one who
is being punished least in the fire of
hell out of all of the inhabitants of
the fire of hell meaning all of the
inhabitants will be there for ever and
ever and ever
right all of the eternal habitants of
the fire of hell this is because we
believe that those Muslims we shall
enter Jahannam and we seek allah's
refuge from ever being amongst them
those Muslims who should enter Jahannam
their punishment will never be as
similar or as bad as the eternal people
who are in Jannah
right they have a separate punishment
completely so of those who are being
eternally punished a kundan a CI Ravan
is gonna be his um his uncle Abu Talib
and what is that punishment Subhan Allah
what is that punishment he shall be made
to wear sandals a fire because of those
sandals yes Lehman had amalu
that his demamp is going to be I will
boiling and this is the lowest
punishment of those who are eternally
damned to hell
nestled Omaha's Salama well raffia so
this is what we know of Abu Talib's
death and there are so many lessons in
the life and in the death of Abu Talib
of those lessons we have to be careful
of simply following what the people are
doing even if those people are the
majority or even if there are our
ancestors or even if they are our
parents
nothing is more sacred than what Allah
Azza WA JAL says and what the Sunnah of
the Prophet Allah said them says and
those who follow others will not be
excused in a day of judgment even if
those others were great people follow in
Altona
Abba as a Sudeten Airacobra a novel una
subida Allah says in the Quran we
followed our leaders and our elders but
they all led us astray was the point of
this in novotna
and AMA when I thought him multitude we
found our forefathers in a way and we're
gonna do this no matter what and Allah
says cada log2 cumbia death memo a jet
to Mali have become what if I'm bringing
you something that is more correct than
what your forefathers were upon now just
because we're Muslims brothers and
sisters don't think that we are
completely scot free from this many
times it is our understandings of Islam
that might be wrong and it is the
understandings that our forefathers have
given to us that oh this is what my
grandfather used to do how can it be
wrong no it doesn't matter your
grandfather my grandfather is not an
evidence in Islam the evidence is what
Allah and His Messenger say another very
powerful message that we get from the
story of Abu Talib is that indeed only
allah subhana wa tada
is the true rub and the true Allah the
true Lord and the true being who is in
control of everything for the Prophet
SAW some despite being the most beloved
creation to Allah still he could not
guide the one whom he loved the most in
this world the one whom he loved the
most in this world
he couldn't guide him in a Coolatta a
demon i haveta
you cannot guide those whom you love or
the one whom you love it's in the
singular you don't have that power and
if this is a power he doesn't have in
his life how about now how about now to
control the heaven and hell how about
now to dictate who is going to go to
Jenna who's go to go to Jannah so how do
those groups of Muslims that elevate our
rasul-allah system to basically become a
god these incidents completely
contradict that understanding in his
lifetime Allah is telling him just
because you loved him doesn't mean you
had the power to guide him well like in
the la jolla demon Yasha Allah will
guide those whom he loves and this shows
us that the status of the prophets and
the Prophet Muhammad SAW Sodom cannot
ever be compared to the maqam of allah
azza wajal never ever allow our emotions
to get confused in this regard because
this is unfortunately many Muslim groups
get involved in that
they say they began their praises the
rasul of allah saw something legitimate
matter and then they allow those praises
to basically go into levels of
confidence right and this is where
we have to be very clear no in the
Coolatta
demon I felt what I can Alya D Menasha
and another benefit here that we get is
that Allah affirmed that the Prophet SAW
some had a love for Abu Talib
what is the benefit here there are some
extremist Muslims out there that say
that we have to hate all the kuffar
maybe if some of you have heard these
types of phrases we're not allowed to
love the COFA we have to hate all of
them and this is a complete
misunderstanding of certain text in the
Quran and Sunnah complete
misunderstanding how can anybody say we
have to hate the co fault like this when
Allah Himself says you used to love Abu
Talib used to love a boot on in the
Coolatta
demon habit right rather it is pause now
when Allah says in the Quran that we're
supposed to have animosity towards those
who have rejected all on his messenger
we have animosity because of their
rejection but we can love them because
of other reasons weak we don't love
somebody
because they hate Allah and His
Messenger oh the villa it's not possible
anybody who rejects a lot in His
Messenger we cannot have a religious
love for them and Allah says lattice the
common uvula humanity you are doing them
and had allaha wa rasuluh well o can do
a biome or now if wanna wash your at
home you will never find people having
wood which is a strong love for anybody
who opposes Allah and His Messenger even
if they be their fathers or brothers or
sons now we have those Muslims who have
this message of Islam preaches hatred of
non-muslims this is their message I
disagree and they use terminologies of
al-qaeda which I think they have
misinterpreted such as Al Walla and but
on other of these terminologies and this
is a broader topic which we don't have
time to get into now but in a nutshell
the to summarize the love that Allah is
talking about in these verses and the
hatred Allah is talking about is a
religious love and religious hatred we
have religious love for the Muslims no
question and we do not have this
religious love for anybody who opposes
Allah and His Messenger no question even
if there are close relatives we don't
have a religious love for them but we
may have a natural love for them because
they are father or mother because they
are for example Allah says no Quran for
the Muslim man can marry a non-muslim
lady a Christian or Jewish lady right
and how can a man remain married to a
lady that he is required to hate or
according to the Quran it's impossible
but the love that you have for somebody
could be natural and that natural love
is Islamic ly permissible a father a
mother might be a non-muslim a wife
anybody might be a non-muslim and you
have a natural love but you are not
supposed to have the religious love
except for those who follow your
religion so Allah is affirming a love
that the Rasool system had for I will
tall it even though he died a pagan and
this is important that it is permissible
to feel a natural affinity with people
of one's driver one's ethnicity or one's
even nationality or whatever there is a
natural affinity and that is permissible
but it cannot become a religious one
except for those who have the religion
another Ben
that we get from the story of Abu Talib
and I have said this before many months
ago that there is a wisdom that we can
derive from the coffer of Abu Talib that
why did he have to be a cafe and that
wisdom is that the only thing that
allowed a Bhupati to remain the
chieftain of the Quraysh was the fact
that he truly was a representative of
Abdul Muttalib and so by being a
representative of Abdul Mutallab when he
protected the process and they respected
that had he converted to Islam
instantaneously his own tribe would have
taken him out and they would have said
to him we're not going to keep you as a
leader because there's nothing that
would keep a bethought up then as the
leader so by allowing him to remain in
kufur indirectly this was in fact
protecting the prophets asanam and to
spread iman and therefore we can derive
a clear wisdom yet at the same time if
somebody were to say I understand this
wisdom why couldn't he have converted at
death okay fine throughout his life let
him be a coffered then on his deathbed
because he was so good because he was a
father figure why couldn't he convert
this leads us to another benefit of abu
talib story and that is we will never
understand in my life oleh we will never
understand in my life our hearts might
find something but we don't know why
it's possible we like something at Allah
knows as bad as possible we hate
something in Allah knows it's good what
is the wisdom why couldn't he have
converted on his deathbed what can we
say anymore in the law and a part of
having a man is alladhina amanu Nabil
hype and a part of having a man is as
allah says la ilaha Maia for home use
alone they have no right to ask Allah at
what he does
and Allah will ask them at what they do
and this is a part of showing servitude
to Allah we don't challenge Allah's
wisdom because challenging a Las wisdom
is satanic literally satanic that's what
Shaitaan does right what is Shaitaan do
I know better than you o Allah I know
better than you we don't challenge
Allah's wisdom we accept we accept the
decree of Allah even if we don't
understand
the decree of Allah and this is one of
those things that clearly towhead is
understood through this in that what is
the wisdom of a will thought of
remaining in this matter in the end we
don't know in the end only Allah subhana
WA Ta'ala knows another benefit of this
and it's a very important benefit that
Iman belief in Allah is more than just
acknowledging the truth of the prophet
salallahu alayhi wasalam in other words
and this is an ion again a deep point of
theology but it's one that needs to be
said the perception that some Muslims
have what is the definition of a Muslim
somebody who says the process is telling
the truth is the definition for some
people but it is not that is not the
academic definition because abu talib
believed that the Prophet system was
telling the truth he has said so himself
he said it to him directly on his
deathbed that I would have said la ilaha
illallah but i don't want them to
criticize me I know what you're saying
is true right he's affirming that he
knows the truth but he refuses to accept
therefore somebody who knows the truth
doesn't mean that that person is a
Muslim it's a very deep point here what
is a Muslim then someone who submits to
the truth because the meaning of Islam
is not knowledge it is submission that's
what Islam means right to merely know
the truth doesn't make you a Muslim
Iblees knows the truth it beliefs
accepts everything in his heart he knows
it conceptually think about it does it
release deny that Allah is the Rob no in
fact I beliefs affirms Allah is my Rob
and he says to a Larabee other up be it
beliefs is saying in the Quran Carla
Robbie and I beliefs affirms that the
prophets are prophets it least does not
deny that Adam is a prophet at least
does not
a night that Allah sends prophets right
he knows this if least does not deny
that there's a day of judgment honorable
vanilla Yami over iPhone right
allow me to live until the day of
judgment in fact it beliefs even
worships Allah occasionally because he
makes dua to Allah to allow him to live
right if he didn't worship Allah he
wouldn't make dua to Allah yet is it
beliefs a movement does he beliefs have
Iman in Allah obviously not a Bauer
stuck butter economy no caffeine Allah
calls him a cafe how is he a cafe if he
knows a lot to be true and knows the
prophets to be prophets and knows that
Allah gives life into resurrection how
is he a calf Allah Allah says ABBA he
refused to obey when Allah told him to
do something
Westec abara he was too arrogant to
prostrate right and therefore a calf it
can be somebody who doesn't know the
truth a Kaffir can be somebody who
doesn't recognize the truth a kafir can
can be somebody who rejects the truth
but a calf it can also be somebody who
knows the truth but for some reason
whatever that reason might be refuses to
act upon it and this gets to the very
controversial issue I'm just going to
mention it make your mind stimulated but
unfortunately don't have time to to to
whip up a nice academic talk now I give
that in other places but what do we say
then to the Muslim who knows Islam to be
I call the Muslim in he calls himself
Muslim right who knows Islam to be true
but he never does anything that he is
required to do
think about the question here the Muslim
who no meaning he calls himself Muslim
right what is the difference between Abu
Talib and such a Muslim in that they
both recognize Allah is one abu thought
of did not worship idols we know this
right i will thought of did not his
poetry is pure hate he knows our dollar
tree is ridiculous so they recognize
allah is one they recognize the
prophet's ism is a true prophet but the
both of them are refusing to submit to
the laws of islam the only difference is
that the one says i'm a muslim and the
other says i'm not and in fact the one
who says he's not a muslim
linguistically it makes more sense
because he understands what a muslim is
and so he said i haven't submitted so
i'm not a Muslim whereas the one who
says he's a muslim is saying i submit
but in action he's not submitting at all
right and therefore and this is i know
this is a deep topic but the fact of the
matter is somebody who says he or she is
a muslim but never ever does anything of
this religion he doesn't pray he doesn't
fast he doesn't give zakah he doesn't do
anything of the sharia of this religion
this theoretical saying I'm a Muslim is
not much different than the Iman
quote-unquote of a booth or event of a
police it's not much different think
about it right it's not much different
and as for the hadith whoever says la
ilaha illallah will enter jannah we need
to understand this in light of the other
hadith as well whoever says la ilaha
illa-llah sincerely whoever says light
Allah from the heart all of these things
come into play there are conditions
attached right not simply verbally
saying that but whoever says upon it and
acts upon it properly this is the one
who shall enter Jannah
aníbal thought of story proves this that
Abu Talib had what we call theoretical
Iman but that theoretical amount didn't
benefit him and in fact one final point
with regards to this issue that is why
it is incorrect to translate Iman as
because Eman is not just faith you can
say about thought I've had faith think
about it you can say beliefs has faith
think about you know what faith means it
beliefs has it because I beliefs
believes things to be true but that
doesn't make it beliefs a movement so
Iman and faith are not synonymous faith
is but one part of Iman you need to have
faith to have email but Iman is more
than faith another benefit from Abu
Talib's
story is the danger of hanging around
evil company cuz Abu Talib final
compatriots were Abu jahil and Al Waleed
have been oppa and that ilk and he would
have accepted Islam he himself said but
those people and the ego of being around
those people was too much for him so one
needs to look at one circle of friends
because one circle of friends will
influence him a few benefit here a few
benefit here that being a non-muslim and
dying as a non-muslim doesn't mean that
the Muslim relatives have nothing to
with the funeral no Ali thought that
because my father is a non-muslim I
cannot even do anything with the funeral
and so in the process him said go and
bury your father
the first response of Ali he is emotion
ik the process that I know he's a
mushrik go and bury your father and
therefore the shows that when a not a
filk benefit when a non-muslim relative
dies one may attend the funeral and help
with the processions and even
financially contribute but the condition
is that you don't do the religious
ceremonies you don't do really the
religious ceremonies now of course Ali
was the one who was put in charge of the
body and so there were no religious
ceremonies but if there were two have
been religious ceremony so in our case
if there's a convert and a relative of
theirs was a not who's a non-muslim dies
they may go to the funeral wake the
procession but they don't participate in
the church services because that's not
our religion let them do as they please
but
we cannot participate in the religious
services but some people say that you're
not supposed to go to the funeral of a
non-muslim relative this clearly shows
us that not only going to the funeral he
took charge of bearing he dug the grave
himself and he put the coffin in the
shroud he put it in and of course you
put the coffin in the shroud on the
under on the dead person even if they're
not a Muslim and so Ali took charge of
this and the process and I'm corrected
this misunderstanding and this shows us
the fifth principle that you may attend
the janazah
of a non-muslim relative appointed
benefit here as well is that out of the
four uncles that the profit system that
witness the profit systems Islam you
know he had ten uncle's total or there
were ten braum there were total of
eleven brothers one of them was his
father so he had ten uncles of those
eleven brothers ie the sons of Abdul
Mutallab of those eleven brothers seven
of them died before the prophecies have
began preaching the message seven of
them died before the process and began
preaching the message so Samet seven of
them never heard the prophecies and I'm
preaching to hate four of them the two
of them who converted and two of them
rejected right and it is just ironic or
it is other of Allah or it is a
coincidence that the two who rejected
they had pagan names and the two who
accepted they had beautiful names
the two who rejected their cuneus of
course were Abu Talib and Abu no not Abu
jahil Abu Lahab
people always get confused we said this
many times
Abu jihad is from the Banu masoom he's
not from the banu hashim Abu Lahab is
from the Banu Hashim Abu Lahab is the
uncle Abu jahil is a very distant
relative don't get confused a lot of
Muslims get confused right about jihad
is somebody else Abu Lahab is somebody
else to different people completely and
the Quran mentions Abu Lahab Abu Lahab
is the uncle Abu jahil is a very distant
relative now Abu Abu Talib his name was
Abdul Lucia his Kunia was uh sorry about
Abu Talib his name was abdomen F my
mistake Abu Lahab name was Abdullah Abu
Lahab his actual name that Abdul
Muttalib gave him is Abdullah and he was
a very handsome man and so they called
him Abu Lahab as if fire is coming from
his cheeks and face right and so Allah
mocked this name in the Quran by saying
this fire is not just a metaphorical it
is a real fire sale on our on that and
lab right but they called him I will
aheh because he was a handsome man and
he was a single son of the wife that had
the motive Marable that have had five
wives I've done more than about five
wise and one of them gave birth only to
Abu Lahab so Abu Lahab had no full
brothers and sisters right so Abu Lahab
name was Abdul Russa and he became one
of the worst enemies
I will taught him his name was abdomen F
animal thought it was of course the full
brother of Abdullah and for wisdom Allah
knows he did not accept Islam as we said
the two who converted of course are
hamza and al abbas and both of these
names are their original names and both
of them mean the same thing what do they
mean the lion both of them mean the same
thing
hamza and Abbas are two names for the
lion in Arabic they say that Arabs have
500 names for a lion and uh Allahu Alem
it means some people have tried to make
this 500 list but they've only gotten
150 but they have a huge number of names
of the lions right both
and Hamza are names of the lion and
Hamza also has the connotation of
strength and Abbas has the connotation
of bravery but they both signify the
lion and for some reason the two names
that are pure and good meaning they
converted and the two names that are
pagan names Abdullah and abdomen F these
are of course names of the idols monofin
Ursa they did not convert whether this
is color whether this is whatever Allah
knows best but this is a an interesting
point here and by the way of course now
that we talk about the uncles as for the
aunts how many aunts to the process my
mouth how many aunts did the process and
I'm half meaning when he was born how
many did he have
how many were the daughters of Abdul
Muttalib one three four going once going
twice higher 11 huh seven where'd you
hear this from he just made it up well I
I know of six but maybe they're seven I
know of six I know of six that he had
six aunts and we only know of one of
them converting to Islam and she is of
course Sofia right we know for sure of
one converting to Islam and we know for
sure that one of them heard of Islam is
she was alive when Islam was began to be
preached and this is attica who saw the
dream at the Battle of Badr which we'll
talk about in sha Allah
in a few weeks that was Attica we don't
know who else converted some rumors have
it that more than Sophia converted and
some have it that more than one died
before Islam but the fact of the matter
is the rest of the answer the process
and remain shrouded in mystery we don't
know who amongst them converted and
truth be told the fact that we don't
know should seem to indicate that they
didn't because had they converted we
would have known about it had they
converted it would have been and so the
more academically minded scholars of
Sierra say that this means that the rest
of them did not convert we don't even
know how many of them live to hear about
Islam
except for a to find Sofia we don't know
the rest of them did they or did they
not but even if they did then it's
apparent that they did not accept Islam
a final issue about a pathology that
before we move on many of you know that
some other groups of Islam consider that
I would have died a Muslim and I don't
mind mentioning there are two such
groups in our times the one of them is
the Shia the XI I believe that abu talib
died a muslim and if you say otherwise
they are insulted by this and they say
that this is a big insult of course they
are insulted because from their
perspective they do not think the Imams
father but you know they have 12 Imams
and all of these Imams they go back to
of course Ali Ali is the first Imam so
for them it is an insult that the Imams
father would not be a Muslim and this is
a huge insult for them of course in
response we say somebody better even if
you say their Imams we don't believe
this even if you say their Imams
somebody better than these Imams had a
father whom Allah says in the Quran was
a pagan and that is ibraheem
alehissalaam and that did not diminish
the level of Ibraheem that his father as
it was an idol worshiper and an idol
maker it did not diminish the level of
Ibraheem so we disagree with this
completely and there's no textual
evidence that a Bhupati converted the
second group in our times is uh some
extreme Sufi groups and also in our time
some ended box and you know somebody
Lewis as well people like this guy
Adri sahabas his name dihedral cadre in
them they they they say this now their
reasoning well I I could not I could not
believe they were serious until I read
this myself I I don't know I mean what
can I say they are my people so allow me
to make some jokes about them but I mean
I can't believe somebody's mentality is
this backward but somebody says one of
these people says that because Abu Talib
did the nikah of the professor's and I'm
with Khadijah he must have been a Muslim
or else the nikah would have been
invalid
that's his evidence I don't know how to
respond me domine is such an ignorant
argument here but these are major groups
in our homelands of India and Pakistan
and they have this feeling that the one
who does the nikah
right for the process and in the
jahiliya days before the coming of Islam
how could he have been a calf he must
have been a Muslim right
so therefore or else the nikah is not
valid yeah this is again I mean they
would if somebody is using this as an
evidence but again if you try to argue
with them they get very flustered and an
opponent but these are the two groups
that claim that abu pada did not die a
pagan he died a Muslim but the fact is
matters that we have multiple evidences
even verses in the Quran three verses in
the Quran were revealed about olives
death three verses in the Quran we have
a hadith in body and in muslim we have
incidents in ibanez Hazira basically we
have everything we need to clearly show
that Abu Talib did not die upon toe heat
moving on the death of Abu Talib was
followed by another loss that was no
less insignificant and in many ways even
more painful than the first one and that
was the death of Khadijah radi allahu
ta'ala anhu and even a Josie says this
death occurred within 40 days of the
death of Abu Talib and I will taught it
passed away in the beginning of sha1
Khadija passed away on the 10th of
Ramadan literally a one month and five
days just less than 40 days had gone by
when the death of Khadijah occurred and
one Khadija passed away
thus Allah had not yet been revealed so
there was no janazah performed over her
because there was no sada at the time
but the prophet saw some took charge of
burying her he himself entered into the
grave and he himself put her body there
and and took charge of the burial and a
number of Sahaba reported that after
death of Khadijah we did not see the
prophet saw some smile for months on end
and after that of Khadijah it was a very
traumatic loss for him and there's no
question that these two people were the
closest to him Abu thought of is his
father figure and I will Poli protected
externally khadijah is his wife his
closest friend his first supporter and
the one who protected him internally the
one who gave him support inside of the
house
I will Poli given support outside of the
house and B both of these two together
proved to be a very traumatic time for
the processor and is because of the
death of these two that this entire year
is called the year of sorrow
meaning that he was overcome by grief so
much that the whole year was called the
grief of the year of sorrow and the
blessings of Khadijah has spoken about
many many times and I've mentioned I
began a long lecture to the sisters
about the whole life in times of Hadiya
and how much the Prophet SAW son loved
her and how jealous I was of Khadijah
even though I had never saw Khadijah she
never saw Aditya
but her heart burned with jealousy
because of the love of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa seldom and even
when Khadijah sister Hannah came to
Medina to visit the Prophet saws in him
and hala knocked on the door and asked
for permission to enter the Prophet SAW
was lying down half-asleep and he jumped
up and you could see the fluster on his
face because he thought it might be like
you know in that state he thought it
might be Hadiya and I saw this and her
feeling of jealousy went you know almost
overboard and when hala left haha
Khadijah said sorry Aisha said ya
rasulallah for how long are you going to
keep on remembering and she used words
that are not appropriate but she was a
young woman that was full of jealousy
lateral jealousy an old hag basically of
the Quraysh whose tooth teeth have
fallen out and whose cheeks are she
hasn't seen him but she's assuming that
Khadijah 65 when she's died she's
mashallah at this age you know 14 15 at
this age and she's like how long are you
gonna remember this old lady you know I
mean Allah has given you someone better
than her the Prophet SAW Sura might have
overlooked the first phrase but this
phrase he became irritated the Allah has
given you someone better than her this
phrase he became irritated and he said
la Allah Allah has not given me someone
better than her don't say this or I
shall la is not giving someone better
than her she supported me when no
when else supported me you don't have
that blessing aisha and she spent upon
me when everybody boycotted me you don't
have that blessing Aisha and she
comforted me when the world gave me
grief again you don't have that buzzing
Aisha and she and Allah gave me children
through her when Allah deprived all of
my other wives of this blessing as she
said after that time I never opened my
mouth about Hodja but she learned her
lesson that she never opened her mouth
after that about Khadijah and the
stories of Khadijah go on and on and
will just mention a few a few more
things in inshaallah began the incident
of life next week I shall owe to Allah
and that is that one abu talib died this
proof this proved to be a very
politically difficult time for the
prophet sallallaahu i said them why
because abu thought it was his in our
times visa or passport to living in
makkah right abu thought it was his
protection everybody wanted him out none
of the elders of the Quraysh wanted him
to be in Makkah and so with the death of
about thought if he was in a very
precarious situation and ibanez Hawk
says that after the death of Abu Talib
the Quraysh could increase their
irritation and their persecution of the
process of them like never before
and another tabular says that with the
death of a Pathan if the haurache could
finally come out what they were forced
to hide in the time of Abu Talib that
final the persecution could be
completely public and many things happen
here and again some of these we've
already heard before because we don't
know when they happen so some scholars
say they happen now of the most
significant things that really if you
think about it this time seems to be
more than when we mentioned before is
the infamous incident of six or seven of
the elders of the Quraysh conspiring to
throw a dead carcass on him in such de
we mentioned the story twice before
right rocked by a bit a bit more ate on
Abu jahil and and Abu Lahab was amongst
them we mentioned the story before that
when he went into sajda rockabye ivana
be more ayat went out of the city to
carry the car
with his own hand the entrails and the
dung and the blood and the Gorda and the
parts that are not Eden and he brought
it all the way back and he threw it on
the Prophet SAW said I'm in such de we
mentioned this before in early Makkah
but the fact him if you really think
about it it makes more sense now because
a bula a bootable thought Eve is not
mentioned as protecting him and there is
no mention of reprimand right and no one
helped him so what did he have to do
when he stood up and the blood is on his
body that was when he said oh Allah I
complained to you because there's no one
else at all I complained to you you deal
with tokuma it had been a beam right
you'll deal with Alwaleed a bit but you
deal with abu jahil you deal with abu
lahab every one of them that he
mentioned and there were seven exactly
seven every one of them died within two
three years by the Battle of butter so
in fact this incident makes more sense
now than it does in early Makkah right
that this occurred after the death of
abu talib when there's no one to protect
him now before this incident happened in
fact there's a really interesting story
that Abu Lahab seems to have a soft spot
all of a sudden what happened was that
in one particularly severe incident one
of the other quarter she's not from the
banu hashim rebuked the prophecy
severely and now of course you
understand Abu Lahab takes charge of the
been Hashem right after the death of Abu
Talib the only pagan Sun and the eldest
after Abu Talib is Abu Lahab so there's
no question there's no power struggle I
mean he's the only one that can take
charge both Hamza abbas are muslims a
bus is very young so there's no question
he cannot be in charge hamza is senior a
booth ellipse re abu lahab is even older
so with the death of uh both aught abu
talib abu lahab takes charge okay so
when abu lahab takes charge and somebody
curses the professor from outside of the
banu hashim he seems to get a soft spot
and when he hears this he goes to the
prophet's asanam and he says yah
mohammed go and do
as you used to do in the time of abu
talib i'ii be as you were be as you what
the privileges you had in the time of
abu talib you have them now for as long
as i am alive
you shall live in the same manner so he
felt some responsibility to protect the
prophet sallallahu alayhi wa seldom in a
manner that his brother used to protect
not out of love for the process of them
but as a chieftain of the banu hashim
and as somebody who's taking over from
abu thought him and this is amazing but
simple human psychology that before you
get responsibility you can say things
you can brag and boast but when you get
those responsibilities you act
differently you act differently right
and this is very common very common any
the youngsters here before you get
married you will say whatever you want
about how you're going to be a man when
you get married right and mashallah when
the woman comes all of a sudden we see
where that manhood goes okay when you
don't I mean that's the semi joke of Sam
I joke but when when you don't have the
real responsibility it's easy to just
make perceptions of how you would do
things right before Abu Lahab comes to
power he has this attitude that
basically if I could I'd kill you right
now once he becomes the chief of the
banu hashim what happens
he kinda needs to settle down that there
is a leadership role and so he tells the
process can you believe Abu lap but not
because he loves the process but because
there is a prestige element he is the
chieftain he has to guard his own people
and so he tells the process in him as
you were nothing more nothing less
right whatever Abu thought it gave you
I'm gonna simply pass that on as you
were and so when the people heard this
they came to him and they said that in
fact when I will thought have said this
was sorry when Abu Lahab said this the
people spread a rumor that he had
accepted Islam so they came to him and
they said Al Sabah
have you become a Sabah amia have you
become a Muslim and so he said no but I
am protecting my flock
I'm not a Muslim but I'm protecting my
flock so Abu jihad and Ultima the two
worst amongst them decided to hatch a
plot to remove the protection of Abu Abu
keep on single daughter
Abu Lahab from the prophet's asylum
right so Abu jahil and rota came
together and they devised the plot and
they said to abu lab why don't you ask
your nephew about the fate of your
father Abdul Muttalib the one that
you're protecting him in the name of
right because that's the whole point
he's a tribesman man the one that you're
protecting him in the name of why don't
you ask him what he thinks of Abdul
Muttalib and so Abu Lahab one to the
processor man said what is the fate of
my father Abdul Mutallab this is a trick
question
so the process and I'm answered
generically he is with his people he
didn't say he's going to Jay's he is
with his people right and he shows the
wisdom of the process from that you
don't give incendiary remarks you don't
have to make it worse but you cannot lie
he is with his people and so Abu Lahab
thought that meaning he's with his
people is a good thing he went back
happy new goes to Abu Jahl he said he's
with his people and so Abu jaha said you
fool where are his people according to
the processing except in the fire of L
you mean he is meaning that he is in the
fire of hell and of course it that was
the point right that was the point and
so Abu Lahab felt such rage that my own
father you're gonna say he's in the fire
about and I'm protecting you in his name
then he said la Allah you are not going
to protect it from me anymore
after this so after giving him
protection within a week Abu jahil had
managed to get him out of it right abuja
and his plot had managed to get Abu
Lahab out of that protection and so the
profitsystem was left without any
protection in Makkah and this was then
what caused him to try his cutter if you
like in the closest city next to Makkah
and that is
if and that is what we will come to in
sha Allah who Ta'ala in our next week in
Charlotte next Wednesday we'll be
talking about this billahi to ila
there's a very sad announcement do you
have more details do you want to how old
is he how old is he ten years old what
is the name of the sister again sister
Merve at the the sister of sister Fatima
has Sunna sister Faton sister Faton has
suna passed away today in a car accident
and and her son in the in the car ten
year old would you know his name was a
why yes why yet well yet her son was
also in the car and he is in the ICU the
Med the Med Center in critical condition
now the janazah is tomorrow at 12:30 at
masjid Isetta masjid s-salam the judges
tomorrow at 12:30 a bus to the salaam
please try to be there and let this be a
lesson for all of us that this sister
was in her early 30s and she was active
in the community sunday school teacher
many of us knew her many of our children
study with her in the Sunday School in
Nidal and they they had all your own and
a lime out all day Mahad to Allah we
belong and to him we shall return
complete instantaneous and to something
obviously completely unexpected and at
the same time it is also a good death
when it happens suddenly because our
prophet SAS Adam said that the sign of a
good death is a sudden death a sudden
death is a good death we don't want to
prolong to that we seek Allah's refuge
from a prolonged death and we also hope
that in sha Allah this type of death is
also a Shahada for her because these
types of death the process of them
considered some types of debts to be
equivalent to Shahada and of them is if
a wound kills you and so we hope that it
shall
