1 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:12,519 Biss mila rohimni Rahim in the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the 2 00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:31,440 most merciful. Heard a lot below heard Part Excellence presents lessens from the stories 3 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:46,960 of the prophets by Mufti Ismail even Musa menk he brought him and in his 4 00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:58,840 Salam Part four Abraham, peace be upon him. Part four Salam about a 5 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:07,879 cat Smilah Rahman Rahim al hamdri Laila Alamin or salahtu Salam ala Rahmat alila Alamin 6 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,480 Nabi in a muhammad in ailah Ali he was habih tabina aman tabi ahambi san 7 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:18,040 in ilayomidin you are bad. All praise is due to a loss of Hannah 8 00:01:18,359 --> 00:01:22,159 to Allah, blessings and salutations upon Muhammad salalahu Ali. He was seldom. 9 00:01:22,879 --> 00:01:26,319 We ask a loss of hannahua to Alah to bless him and all his companions. 10 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,280 To bless all the messengers who have been sent to us from the beginning 11 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:36,640 of time, from the first man right up to Muhammad salahu Ali, he 12 00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:40,159 was seldom. May Allah bless them all and grant them all goodness. And 13 00:01:40,239 --> 00:01:42,799 may alas sub Hanahua to Allah bless us as well as our offspring, and 14 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,200 may he grant us every form of goodness, and may He create ease for 15 00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:51,400 us in our lives, and may He protect us from every form of difficulty. 16 00:01:51,519 --> 00:01:56,280 Aman, we love it, brothers and sisters. We have been going 17 00:01:56,359 --> 00:01:59,760 through the life of one of the greatest profits of a loss of Hannah to 18 00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:04,439 Ala, the prophet Ibrahim alaih his sala to a Salam. Abraham made peace 19 00:02:04,519 --> 00:02:07,400 be upon him, and we went through most aspects of his life. There 20 00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:12,599 are a few aspects remaining, and we would like to see some of his 21 00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:16,400 children and what the prayers that he made, the duas that he made, 22 00:02:17,199 --> 00:02:22,800 what was the result of these duas. To begin with, Ibrahim alais sala 23 00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:28,080 to a Salam was a person who had great feeling for others. He never 24 00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:32,319 made dua that others should be punished. He always tried his best to make 25 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,240 duaa and to pray that they would be guided. One of them was his 26 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:43,319 father. There was an occasion where his father had planned to burn him, 27 00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:49,840 and in fact they threw him into the fire. And I'm drawing a comparison 28 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:55,479 between the time when Ibrahim Aleai is Salam's father threw him into the fire in 29 00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,759 order to kill him and on the other hand, when Ibrahim ad is Salam 30 00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:07,639 himself was sacrificing his own son. Now by the instruction of a lassukanaha at 31 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:13,360 Alah. Do you see the two both were fathers and both were sons. 32 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,960 But on both occasions we find that the help of Allah was with those who 33 00:03:20,039 --> 00:03:23,960 believed. There we are so in the first instance, the father was at 34 00:03:24,039 --> 00:03:28,800 loss, and Ibrahim ad is Salam, who was a firm believer, the 35 00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:32,360 help of Allah came to him. And the second instance, they were both 36 00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:37,719 believers and they had both submitted, So they both had won and there was 37 00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:43,080 nobody besides Chipan that had lost. From this we learn that no matter what, 38 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:50,080 definitely, victory is for those who firmly believe. When the prophets Alabah 39 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,479 who Alahi was Selam, was faced with battles, he spoke of what is 40 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,240 known as i del hus Nayani. He says, look for us, we 41 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,840 are believers. We have one of two good things that happened to us. 42 00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:06,000 Either we are victorious, in which case you will be losers. This is 43 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,319 talking of the battles at the time of the prophets or Allahu Adehi was ann 44 00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:15,960 And we may, on the other hand, be martyred when we will be 45 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,720 granted victory in the Ahara, So we are in a win situation always. 46 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:26,079 This is what is known as del us nayan. A min does not cling 47 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,759 to life to the degree that he forgets that no matter what he does, 48 00:04:30,959 --> 00:04:35,639 he has to go. This is why when it comes to organ transplant and 49 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,959 so on, there are laws in the Sharia. If people make it a 50 00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:43,920 big business and they start killing people in order to steal organs to sell them 51 00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:46,079 to others, and they start buying and selling and it becomes a trade, 52 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,680 it is totally prohibited. We are taught that rather die, because as it 53 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,519 is, you may be dying another five years down the line anyway. So 54 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,040 why steal somebody else's kidney or why do something that might be prohibited whilst we 55 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,040 are oppressing others. Yes, there are rules and regulations governing when it is 56 00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:09,079 permissible and when it is not. That is not our topic today. So 57 00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:13,519 we ask alas subhnah hawata alah to grant us iman and to grant us belief. 58 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,199 And this is why Ibrahim ale is salah to a Salam. He had 59 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,399 made the dua for his father. He says, oh, my father, 60 00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:23,279 I pray to Allah that he forgive you for all this you have engaged in. 61 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:29,279 And Alas subhnahwat Alah later on reprimanded Ibrahim Aleah is salah to a Salam, 62 00:05:29,519 --> 00:05:33,040 or corrected him and said, you should not be making duaa for him 63 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:40,120 once you know that he is from the people who have chosen to die in 64 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,279 the condition of disbelief, when all the signs were clearly manifest in front of 65 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,920 him. So this is why Alas Subhanah Howat Alah says that Ibrahim Ali is 66 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:56,120 solah to a Salam's dua for his own father. It was on a condition, 67 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,920 on a condition that when he meets a lass sup Hannah Howat Alah, 68 00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:05,040 if Allah allows it to pass, it will be passed. And if Alasunhnahwatalah 69 00:06:05,079 --> 00:06:09,920 does not allow it to pass, it will not. And already he was 70 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,839 told that that duao will not pass because this man, being the father, 71 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,680 having seen clear cut signs, having known them, still he disagreed, and 72 00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:25,319 he denied solely because he wanted to make money out of selling his idols, 73 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,560 and he wanted to remain in the position of control that he was in in 74 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,879 the society and community, and for that reason, he was cursed by Alasunhanah. 75 00:06:33,079 --> 00:06:40,000 What anah. Now let's go a little bit further. When Ismail Adahi 76 00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:43,600 Salam had married and he was in Mecca, and we had mentioned yesterday that 77 00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:46,360 his father, Ibrahim adah Is Salam used to come and go. He used 78 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:53,800 to be between the Arabian peninsula between Mecca and as Sham a Sham meaning where 79 00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:59,480 Philostine is today, so as he used to come and go. One day, 80 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,439 it is reported, and this is a correct narration, he came into 81 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,680 Macca. Nobody knew who he was, and he entered the house. He 82 00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:11,319 knocked on the door of Smile Ali Salam to go and meet his son. 83 00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:15,560 Obviously, lo and behold there was a woman who answered the door. He 84 00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:20,000 looked at her and he asked her a few questions. He greeted her. 85 00:07:20,079 --> 00:07:25,800 She responded, and he asked her, how's your condition, where's your husband? 86 00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:29,319 And what is he doing? And she complained one way to this man. 87 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,920 Firstly, she didn't know who he was. Secondly, she began to 88 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,800 complain, no, he leaves us here, he goes away, and we 89 00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:39,800 don't really have much, you know, we're struggling, and so on. 90 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,639 There's hardly food and what have you. Now. Ibrahim a is Salam was 91 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,800 on another level, and so was his son Smile Ali is Salam. They 92 00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:53,480 were those who submitted to Allah. They were those who surrendered to Allah. 93 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,079 They did not have room in their lives for any contamination of that. Remember, 94 00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:03,519 when mother does not know anything about Islam, there is a great likelihood 95 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,680 that the children also will not know anything. And this is why the Hadid 96 00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:13,480 says that you should marry someone who is deeply interested in the deal. And 97 00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:18,360 even if someone has reverted a hamdulillah, for as long as they are deeply 98 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,800 interested in the dean, there is hope for your children. But when we 99 00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:24,759 marry a person who is solely interested in the dunia, it will end with 100 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,560 the dunya. The children will be interested more in the dunia than them. 101 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,600 Every day it's about a car and a phone, and clothes and malls and 102 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,600 shops and eating out and so on, and this burgher from that place, 103 00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:39,320 and that one from there, and the pizza and the ice cream and what 104 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,919 have you. The life of the children will be just the same. But 105 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:48,320 when you have a mother whose main aim is to please Amasudhnah Hawat aalah. 106 00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:52,000 Yes, we can enjoy the dunia within the limits. We are not saying 107 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,559 don't go and buy, don't go and do this, don't go and eat 108 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,919 no. But you should remember primarily it is the pleasure of a love. 109 00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:01,639 The children need to be interested in sal on a daily basis. It is 110 00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:05,559 presented in the most beautiful form. I always say, if we were to 111 00:09:05,759 --> 00:09:09,639 just present food in front of one another, or if our wives were to 112 00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:15,320 present food as it were, without any beautification, half of us would not 113 00:09:15,399 --> 00:09:18,320 eat. But you find a burgher marshallah. Look at it. It's closed 114 00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:22,960 from the top, it's shaped nicely, it has beautiful little filling in the 115 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,440 in the center, and it has a bit of lettuce and mush. I 116 00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:28,440 know it's Ramadan, but don't worry. You can eat as soon as you 117 00:09:28,519 --> 00:09:33,360 go out. And it has the dripping sauce in there. Whether it is 118 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,919 marshall a mustard sauce that somebody says they, or whether it is tomato sauce 119 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,679 or what have you, it is presented beautifully. So it is made attracted, 120 00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:48,000 attractable and attractive to us. Why don't we do that to our dean 121 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,320 where we make it beautiful, so our children look at it as something irresistible, 122 00:09:52,039 --> 00:09:56,240 because sometimes we are lazy to read our own Sala mom, time for 123 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,919 salah ah, Hey not now, don't get up just now, so you're 124 00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:03,399 the clock, switch off the alarm. If that is going to be our 125 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,360 way, then what do we expect of our children? They say, Mom, 126 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,000 don't worry you get up at age. I didn't wake you up because 127 00:10:09,039 --> 00:10:13,200 yesterday you said, ah switchy dofah akbar. It suited me fine. So 128 00:10:13,399 --> 00:10:16,720 we need to think of this very carefully. When Ibrahim Adei Salam heard this 129 00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:22,919 woman, he was upset. She didn't know who he is. How can 130 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:28,440 you complain firstly to a stranger. Secondly, it was a blessing of Allah 131 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,759 that she took what was inside out and at least presented it so that somebody 132 00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:35,360 got to know. And this was a gift of a loss of hannahuatlah. 133 00:10:35,759 --> 00:10:39,600 So she was complaining about her own husband. Well, when we have problems 134 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,440 within the home, the first person you talk to is the person you have 135 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:48,080 the problem with. You need to speak to them beautifully and see and you 136 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,399 need to try and understand them and look at their aim in life and look 137 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,399 at your aim in life. If you are heading in one direction in shah 138 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,279 lah, there will be ability and there will be chance to rectify the problem. 139 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,600 But if you you are heading east and he is heading west, Walahi, 140 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,440 you need to start walking. Ma Allah protect us off. We either 141 00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:11,200 divert course and walk in one direction, or we have to part ways with 142 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,679 goodness. So Ibrahim Alai is Salam looks at the woman and says, tell 143 00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:18,360 him that there was a man who had come, and he is saying Salam 144 00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:24,679 upon him, and he asks him to change his doorstep the threshold of his 145 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,159 door. Tell him, look this threshold, he needs to change it. 146 00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:31,440 So she said, no problem, and he was gone before she could ask 147 00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:35,759 him, who are you? He was gone. Now Ismail alaihis Salam came 148 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:41,440 when he came, Look what the narration says. As he entered, he 149 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,960 sensed that his father was here. He sensed him. You see the link 150 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,320 between the father and the son is the link of Allah Subhanahua to Allah. 151 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,799 They were connected with Dim, my beloved brothers and sisters. The spirituality of 152 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,879 every place is not the same. Enter some homes and you want to exit 153 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,480 immediately. And you enter some homes and the spirituality is such that you feel 154 00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:09,600 like sitting and you are calm and relaxed. Let us make do Ah and 155 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,399 pray to Allah and live our lives in such a way that our homes are 156 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,879 in shah Lah, peaceful homes full of nor full of Rahma. So Ismail 157 00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:24,080 alai is Salam asked his wife, was somebody here? She said, oh, 158 00:12:24,159 --> 00:12:26,519 yes, the man came. Who was he? I don't know who 159 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,159 he was, but he was, you know, an elderly man. And 160 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,200 she described a little bit of a description. And we can stop there for 161 00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:37,919 a moment to describe to you what was Ibrahim alai is Salam looking like Rasulu 162 00:12:37,039 --> 00:12:41,720 lah Salalahu Alaisellam says in a correct narration that when I went up in ma 163 00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:45,519 Garaj, I saw the Mba, the prophets, and he described them one 164 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,279 after the other until he says, I saw Ibrahim Aleai Salam. The closest 165 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:56,000 description for you is to look at me, and that is what Ibrahim alai 166 00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:01,080 Salam looked like, which means he looked. He looked similar to Muhammad salaalah 167 00:13:01,159 --> 00:13:05,840 Ali he was halam. They were from one lineage and they looked alike. 168 00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:09,600 This is a Sahi correct naration so Mohammad Salaala Issalam is saying we are Luk 169 00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:15,679 alikes myself Andybrahim Ali Islam. And this is why they are both known also 170 00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:20,120 as Bali Laine. Allah has taken both of them as the closest of prince 171 00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:28,200 of Allah Sabhanahwatan. So she described the man and she said, this is 172 00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:31,759 what he looked like. So he asked a question, did he have any 173 00:13:31,799 --> 00:13:35,879 message? Yes, he passed you Salam's and he said that you need to 174 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,919 change the threshold of your door. Immediately he looked at her and said, 175 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,799 that was my father instructing me to devorce you. You are the threshold. 176 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,720 You're the one who answered the door when he was when I wasn't here, 177 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,200 and he's telling me I need to devorce you. And he told her please 178 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,320 go back home. Now where was she from. She was from Mecca. 179 00:13:54,759 --> 00:13:58,679 She was from the tribe of Jurham and jurhim. They brought Ismail up and 180 00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:03,200 they got him married. They loved him to bits. They got him married 181 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,200 to one of them. Now he did not bat an eyelid. Why Look, 182 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,799 there was one youngster asking me, so does that mean if my father 183 00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:13,919 tells me divorce your wife? I need to obey. I told him, 184 00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:16,200 well, if he was Ibrahim and you were is mild, then yes, 185 00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:22,360 so you need to understand this. We are on another level altogether, some 186 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:28,600 way faranah to ala Grand's status. Sometimes our fathers need direction themselves. Where 187 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,240 are we going to listen to them? Ma a la Grande's goodness? That 188 00:14:31,399 --> 00:14:35,840 having been said, it is our duty to obey our parents within what is 189 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,440 correct, within what is decent, within what is reasonable, within what is 190 00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:45,759 within the pleasure of a loss of anahnah. So Ibrahim alea Salam as he 191 00:14:45,799 --> 00:14:48,159 had instructed his son, the son tells his wife, look, you can 192 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,279 now go home, and this is what it is. And he was not 193 00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:54,759 blessed with any children there, and he sent her home, and Jurham accepted 194 00:14:54,799 --> 00:14:56,879 her and told him, don't worry, we get you married to another. 195 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,960 How do we learn today? When a divorce happens, two tribes are at 196 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,080 war, two families are at war, people draw guns for each other, 197 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,960 people stop speaking to each other. If there are children in the process, 198 00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:18,240 they are treated as weapons. He has tools to punish a third party altogether, 199 00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:22,000 and they are brought up warped with their minds lop sided, on one 200 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,720 side. Only Allah knows what punishment they are going through, what hell they 201 00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:28,120 are suffering in their hearts, solely because we do not have the heart to 202 00:15:28,279 --> 00:15:35,159 understand that divorce does occur. It might be abdul halal, it's the worst 203 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,440 thing. It is the last resort, but it is a point of mercy 204 00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:41,720 from Allah as well, to remove someone from an oppressive condition. There are 205 00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:46,799 some religions that teach you no divorce at all. You married, you doomed, 206 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,679 And there are other religions that teach you and you know what, it's 207 00:15:52,759 --> 00:15:56,480 nothing. You don't even have to marry. You can just live together. 208 00:15:56,919 --> 00:16:00,840 My partner lahu akbar Allah grant's goodness, and understan in Islam, you marry 209 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:07,240 marsh Allah. The idea is to live forever. If something goes wrong, 210 00:16:07,039 --> 00:16:11,879 you try to resolve the matter. If you still cannot, you involve elders. 211 00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:15,440 When you involve elder people, you don't always have your way. You 212 00:16:15,559 --> 00:16:19,240 allow them to dictate to you how to resolve the matter. One of the 213 00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:22,720 reasons why our problems are not being solved. When we involve parties, we 214 00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:26,879 just make them representative for us. That's it, which means you go and 215 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,279 fight my case like they are your lawyer going to the other party and fighting 216 00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:34,159 your case. No, those must get together. They must decide the solution. 217 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,919 They come to you and impose it on you and tell you this is 218 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,120 the solution. You go by it. That's when the marriage works. So 219 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:47,399 in this particular case, they were so happy. They knew that if this 220 00:16:47,679 --> 00:16:51,360 man says something, there has to be some reason behind it, and so 221 00:16:51,519 --> 00:16:56,000 it is my Lalaislam. He did not just follow his father for no reason. 222 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,480 He knew that this is my father. He is a saint, he's 223 00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:00,799 a Nabee, and if a nabe he instructs me, there is nothing I 224 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,559 can do there. You are so any one of us instructed by annabe. 225 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,799 The answers no, So don't end up divorcing your wives just because this man 226 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,680 told you and that one told you. No matter who they are. Alas 227 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,839 subnahuatla grant as the ability to solve our matters. This is an even the 228 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,400 month of Ramagan, we ask Allah, yeah Allah, help those who are 229 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:25,359 going through marital turbulence, solve their problems and crises, and help those who 230 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,319 are living in bliss to live in even greater, even greater bliss. Help 231 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,039 those who are not married to find spouses who will be the coolness of their 232 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:40,039 eyes. Why shall so? He Braham alai is Alam went away, and 233 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,079 time continued. This man was married again to another woman from the same tribe, 234 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,480 and he lived after some time. I alai is Alam came back exactly 235 00:17:49,599 --> 00:17:53,000 the same thing. He knocked the door. The door was opened, and 236 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,799 a woman had asked him, or he asked this woman after greeting her, 237 00:17:59,279 --> 00:18:03,240 that you know, how is your condition? What is happening here? And 238 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,319 so on? And she said no, al hamdurla. She didn't talk excessive 239 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,119 talking with him. Alhamdurillah. We praise Allah on all conditions. That's it, 240 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,200 and we are thankful to Allah. Su Hannah haatda. Now this is 241 00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:22,440 the correct quality of a wife. Don't complain to third parties. Don't even 242 00:18:22,519 --> 00:18:26,000 talk to them details. If you tell someone the goodness you are in, 243 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,119 they might become jealous of you. If you describe to someone what bliss you 244 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,119 are in, they might envy you. They might plan your destruction. Chaipan 245 00:18:34,319 --> 00:18:37,720 might come to them and make them become so jealous of you. So don't 246 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,440 just say alhamdulinda. If you have a crisis or two. Also, there 247 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,279 are people whom you will tell them, yeah, I had a fight last 248 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,559 night, and what will happen? For three years, they will continue telling 249 00:18:48,599 --> 00:18:52,000 people these two are on the rocks. On the rocks, and you solve 250 00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:55,599 your problem the very next day, and then she will tell you after you 251 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,480 manage to find the source of the rumor. But didn't you tell me you 252 00:18:59,559 --> 00:19:02,920 had a problem. Well, that was one issue we had. The other 253 00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:04,559 night. I cleared my throat and he woke up from his sleep, and 254 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,079 that's it. All I did is I made sure he went to sleep again, 255 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,559 and we our problem was solve. So this is why we need to 256 00:19:11,599 --> 00:19:15,119 be intelligent. We need to make sure don't discuss your matters with anyone, 257 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:21,119 no one. Make sure they are extremely genuine, and it is necessary for 258 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,400 you to tell them, then you tell them otherwise neither good nor bad. 259 00:19:25,759 --> 00:19:30,119 Have a habit of saying alhamdulillah ala kulihal wanahou dui lahim in hali alien. 260 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,400 Now we thank Allah on every condition, and we seek his protection from the 261 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,720 condition of those who are going to be cast in the fire. That's what 262 00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:41,559 we should be saying all the time. So Ibrahim alai is Salam looked at 263 00:19:41,599 --> 00:19:45,720 this woman and he tells her give him my regards, pass him my salam, 264 00:19:45,079 --> 00:19:49,759 and tell him he should maintain the threshold. He should maintain the doorstep 265 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,440 akabal. So when Ismail ladai Salam came back, he felt that his father 266 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,319 was there. He asked, what did anyone visit? She said yes, 267 00:19:57,519 --> 00:20:02,880 she described the man. But this time when he asked, what did he 268 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,680 say, she said, well, he said I should give you salam and 269 00:20:07,759 --> 00:20:11,799 you should maintain your threshold, meaning the doorstep. Keep it. So he 270 00:20:11,839 --> 00:20:14,920 said, that was my father telling me to keep you as a wife. 271 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,880 You're a good woman and I'm Glinda. All a subhanaht Alah. Grant us 272 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,480 all the coolness of our eyes in our family is our offspring, in our 273 00:20:22,599 --> 00:20:26,039 parents and our family members, and may he make us united as a Muslim 274 00:20:26,079 --> 00:20:30,480 omar. So that is an interesting story that also occurred, and we learned 275 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,559 a few lessons from it. From the life of Ibrahim alai a salah to 276 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,079 a Salam. Then we have the dua that Ibrahim alay is Salam made. 277 00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:42,359 When you find it and you read it in the Qoran, it is amazing. 278 00:20:42,519 --> 00:20:47,559 Look he surrendered to Allah every single time, and he used to make 279 00:20:47,599 --> 00:20:51,759 dua. We read yesterday that Ibrahim Adei is Salam. As he was building 280 00:20:51,839 --> 00:20:57,279 the cab, he was saying, rab bana takab balmina in aka tasami lani 281 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,359 one of the doors us or Allah, accept it from us, from the 282 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,920 two of us, you are indeed all hearing, all knowing. And he 283 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:14,039 also continued saying, Muslim Allah, make us from amongst those who surrendered to 284 00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:17,839 you at all times. Make the two of us those who surrendered to your 285 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:26,559 command at every time. Wa meanina o matan muslimtalak, and from our progeny, 286 00:21:26,039 --> 00:21:32,079 from our offspring, make a nation that will be surrendering to you your 287 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:37,839 Allah. Then he made a very important to us well, arena manasi can 288 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:45,359 alina. What is the meaning of arena manasikana? Show us how you want 289 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:52,759 to be worshiped ya Allah through revelation, show us how you want to be 290 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,480 worshiped. You've instructed me to build a house. You've done this. There's 291 00:21:56,519 --> 00:22:00,599 the rock here that is hajar aswat. There is the maca here that is 292 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,079 there, and there is so much that you've asked me to do. Your 293 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:08,279 Allah. You tell me how do you want me to worship you Arina manasikana, 294 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,279 show us the way of worshiping you what to ba alaina and forgive us 295 00:22:12,319 --> 00:22:18,519 in the Rahim you are most forgiving, most merciful. From this we learn 296 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,160 that all acts of worship are prohibited, besides those which are taught by a 297 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,559 lass of anna awatalah, that is the law of the Sharia all ibat that 298 00:22:26,759 --> 00:22:30,720 anything that you want to consider an act of worship will not be an act 299 00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:37,759 of worship unless it was specifically revealed and sent down. Why because even Ibrahim 300 00:22:37,759 --> 00:22:42,160 ali Salam knew that we cannot worship Allah how we want in a way that 301 00:22:42,279 --> 00:22:48,319 suits us. We have to worship Allah how he dictates. We have to 302 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,920 do it how he wants. So he will tell us faja this time, 303 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,400 this many raka, this is what you will read and this is what will 304 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,880 happen. And you need to be in this condition of hudu. And this 305 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,119 is what udu means, and this is what russel means, and lo, 306 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,799 this is what it means, and this this is what it means, and 307 00:23:02,839 --> 00:23:04,240 so on, and you will do this and do that. So Allah show 308 00:23:04,319 --> 00:23:10,839 Ibrahim ali Salam away Allah revealed to him a certain act of worship. What 309 00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:18,640 was that? Allah tells I, Brahim a is salam ini bill Haji, 310 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:34,960 to carry jalallah kunibami guarallah kuhnibamiami kulif jinamikor announce the pilgrimage. I want everyone 311 00:23:36,039 --> 00:23:41,160 to follow your footsteps. Announce the pilgrimage in the people. Tell them they 312 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,640 have to come to this sacred place, and this is what they will do. 313 00:23:44,759 --> 00:23:48,559 And Allah taught him the pilgrimage what to do. And you will find 314 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:55,240 they will come on every lean camel, from every valley, and from very 315 00:23:55,359 --> 00:24:00,759 very far away they will all come. Ibrahim is Salam, now hailer to 316 00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:03,759 begin with, forget about the internet and the telephone and so on, and 317 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:08,000 television and what have you? All this media nothing, no newspaper. He 318 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,880 was in a valley all alone with a few people, a little community. 319 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,440 He had just built the house of Allah, and a lot tells him, 320 00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:18,599 just get up and make an announcement. You don't worry. It's up to 321 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:25,279 us to carry that. To this day, it is impossible to cater for 322 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,559 the number of people who want to go for Hajj, to the degree that 323 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:33,759 there has to be a quota in place. Imagine, only two to three 324 00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:37,359 million can go for haj that is the Hajj that was announced by whom begin 325 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,039 with Ibrahim ale Haslam. And they did Hajj from that time, although later 326 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,960 on they had changed some of the items, and they had put idols, 327 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,720 and they had done this, and they had engaged in shiki aar, and 328 00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:52,079 they started doing what a Lot did not reveal, as Allah says mans A 329 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:56,680 la Llahu biham Insultan, a Lot did not reveal any authority for them to 330 00:24:56,039 --> 00:25:00,079 engage in those acts of worship that he did not send down. But when 331 00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:06,000 Ibrahim ada is Alam called, the people began to come such that today we 332 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,400 taste the fruit of this verse that alas sub Hannah howat Ala has reviewed to 333 00:25:10,519 --> 00:25:15,559 us. When we speak of quotas, we all know that on the globe 334 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:22,000 close on to two billion Muslims close on to two billion Muslims. From them, 335 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,599 only two to three million can make hajat any given time for now at 336 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,960 least, although they are trying to expand. But how many want to go? 337 00:25:30,519 --> 00:25:33,759 I would like to think maybe two to three hundred million might want to 338 00:25:33,799 --> 00:25:41,640 go. Malasubhnah houat Ala grant us understanding This is called acceptance of Ibrahim adae 339 00:25:41,759 --> 00:25:44,880 Is Salam. Allah loved him so much. Allah told him, don't worry. 340 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,759 Everything will happen now, you just make the call and continue. This 341 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,519 is why we learn from this totally different example. When you do the work 342 00:25:52,559 --> 00:25:56,519 of a las sub hannah howat Alah, don't worry how many people are sitting 343 00:25:56,559 --> 00:26:00,440 in your program. Don't worry if people are blocking others from coming to the 344 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,880 program. Don't worry if anything negative is happening. For as long as you 345 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:10,279 are sincere, Allah knows those whom he has chosen will benefit from what he 346 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,759 wants them to benefit from. So even if there's one person in front of 347 00:26:14,839 --> 00:26:18,559 you, it is more than enough. It will continue. Allah will granted 348 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,559 continuation, and Allah will granted growth. This is why Allah says, regarding 349 00:26:22,599 --> 00:26:33,880 the kofar uriding aliotophy Allah he fyim walahhum Tima will carry al kafin. They 350 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:38,240 want to extinguish the nure of Allah with their mouths Allah says, Allah refuses, 351 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,559 but to complete the nure, the neur will definitely complete. Whether they 352 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:48,240 disbelievers or whoever else wants to extinguish it, it will continue growing. So 353 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,279 we ask alas sub Hannah howat Alah to grant us growth. Ifra Ali Salam 354 00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:56,640 announced the hatch and alas Subhannah howat Alah told him how to fulfill this, 355 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,960 and alas subhannahwat Alah showed him how to worship him. And this is why 356 00:27:00,039 --> 00:27:04,759 with us never engage in an act of worship that was not taught by Muhammad 357 00:27:04,759 --> 00:27:07,839 Salahu Ali he was Slam, because if we do that, we will have 358 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,920 drifted from the mila of Ibrahim ale Islam, from the dean that Allah has 359 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,480 asked us to follow. Allah says, I will show you how to worship 360 00:27:15,599 --> 00:27:18,640 me. Here it is. This is why the sahabad of the Alahan who 361 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,599 used to sit with Muhammad Salahu Ali he was Alam and ask him yah Asulallah 362 00:27:22,599 --> 00:27:26,839 salaalad is Slam. You taught us this. Now we'd like to know this, 363 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,319 and we'd like to know that, and he would teach them, and 364 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,119 as he taught them, they re enacted and this is what was known as 365 00:27:33,319 --> 00:27:37,680 abadha. So we should remember any act of worship, it needs to be 366 00:27:37,759 --> 00:27:41,480 done for the sake of Allah subhanahuat' Alah, and it needs to be done 367 00:27:41,839 --> 00:27:45,160 exactly how the prophets alla llahu ALLEIHI was alam did it? And I like 368 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,240 to tell people who ask questions, is this allowed? Is that allowed? 369 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:55,000 Is this allowed? Look, there are thousands of things that are not disputed 370 00:27:55,079 --> 00:27:59,160 in the whole Umah, not disputed. Why don't we engage in all of 371 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,839 those things that are not disputed before we enter territory where people might tell us 372 00:28:03,039 --> 00:28:10,319 you wrong. That's a very logical explanation, logical way of looking at things. 373 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,119 I'd rather do the five Salah, read the Koran, read the Adkhar, 374 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,839 do whatever I have to do, whatever the whole Ummah agrees with my 375 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,880 salm, with my zakha, with my heart, and what have you. 376 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,599 The whole omah a grease. I will not have enough time to enter territory 377 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,920 where people are telling me, brother, what you're doing is a bidhah. 378 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:32,079 I won't even have time because I'm so occupied with that which is confirmed correct 379 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,559 that I don't have any other time. But when we start engaging in things 380 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,039 that are disputed, things that people will debate with us about and so on, 381 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,960 what will happen? We will occupy our time with that which is less 382 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,440 important. It's like they say, when there is a pot, and you 383 00:28:45,519 --> 00:28:48,200 have rocks, you have sand, and you have stones. What do you 384 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,960 put first? If you put the sand first, you're not going to get 385 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000 the rocks in. But you put the rocks in. Then you put in 386 00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:56,920 the stones and shake it a bit. They'll find their way in the gaps. 387 00:28:57,119 --> 00:29:00,319 Then you put in the sand and shake it a bit more. Everything 388 00:29:00,359 --> 00:29:03,599 fits in the pot. So the same way, we all have a capacity. 389 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,279 If you are filling your capacity with that which is disputed, you're not 390 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,559 going to have the chance to fulfill that which is not disputed. Common logic. 391 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,759 Ala supanahwat Alah grant as understanding as he granted Ibrahim ale salad to a 392 00:29:15,839 --> 00:29:22,200 Salam and his offspring. So alas Suphanah hawata Alah speaks about some of the 393 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,440 books that he revealed to Ibrahim. We know that there are some books revealed 394 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,880 to Musa, the Taurah and the books revealed to Ibrahim. A salam Allah 395 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:37,759 speaks about them and calls them Spofi Iberahim or Musa the books or the so 396 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:44,160 of a Sahifa, the parchments, the scrolls, the revelations that were given 397 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,960 to Ibrahim and to Moses, to Abraham and Moses may peace be upon them 398 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,279 both and all the Mbia. Now we don't have that scripture with us, 399 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,039 but the Quran makes mention of some of what it contained, like alas Suprana 400 00:29:56,119 --> 00:30:00,200 Howatala says in Allah. One of the things that mentioned in the book given 401 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:07,839 to Ibrahim bell to theirn al haya tad Dunya, well a hero to him 402 00:30:07,519 --> 00:30:17,119 Abaka, Behold, you are giving preference to this world. Yet the life 403 00:30:17,279 --> 00:30:22,559 after death is better and it is everlasting. This alasis. We wrote it 404 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,839 in the book that we gave Ibrahim, and it's repeated for us in the 405 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,079 Quran. Amazing, So we do know there was a book, and we 406 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,799 also have some of what was written. There is much more than this which 407 00:30:30,839 --> 00:30:36,039 is mentioned in the Quran. I've only given an example. Another very interesting 408 00:30:36,119 --> 00:30:41,000 point. Who is the one who gave us the name Muslim? What is 409 00:30:41,079 --> 00:30:44,599 the meaning of the term Muslim? We spoke about it. It is a 410 00:30:44,759 --> 00:30:48,720 submitter, one who submits. Who gave us this name. It was Ibrahim 411 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:55,160 Ahalam alas is in the Quran mill letter Abi kum Iberrahim, who was a 412 00:30:55,880 --> 00:31:03,079 man kumul mus nim amiable. This is the religion of your forefather Ibrahim. 413 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:08,480 The religion of submission. He is the one who named you submitters before. 414 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,640 He is the one who named you submitters. Now, there was a dispute 415 00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:17,759 between the Jews and the Christians at the time of Muhammad s d Allah Ali 416 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,359 was seldom. Some were saying no, Ibrahim was a Jew, and the 417 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,400 others were saying no, he was a Christian. And there was a debate. 418 00:31:23,759 --> 00:31:27,759 Each one is claiming that they are closer and more deserving to Abraham. 419 00:31:29,039 --> 00:31:33,519 So Allah answers their questions with so much beauty in the Qoran. Look at 420 00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:44,359 the stages Alasis, alass in, aulacb Iberrahim, al Lavina, tabau v 421 00:31:45,319 --> 00:31:52,079 lavina Man. Those who are most deserving of Abraham, those who have the 422 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,799 greatest claim to Abraham, May peace be upon him, are those who follow 423 00:31:56,039 --> 00:32:01,640 him in his submission. And this bee who is here meaning Mohammed salah alam 424 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:07,160 and the believers, which means the Nabe and the Believers have followed him in 425 00:32:07,279 --> 00:32:10,400 the submission. So they are the most deserving when it comes to the claim 426 00:32:10,559 --> 00:32:15,319 over Abraham, because they surrendered to their maker and they worship their maker alone. 427 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,240 Now, the Jews and the Christians continued saying no, no, no, 428 00:32:20,359 --> 00:32:22,880 no, He was from us, and the said, no, he's 429 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:28,119 from us. So a loss of hannahuata Alah responds in a beautiful way markhana 430 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:38,960 ibarra him Uyahudiya alasania quaala kingkana hanif muslima uama kana al mushiniki. You should 431 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:44,319 know that Ibrahim was neither Jewish nor Christian. He was a submitter to the 432 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:50,079 creator and he never ever associated partners with his own maker and created. And 433 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,799 the word submitter happens to be Muslim, so he was Moslim in that he 434 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:59,799 was a submitter subhanah lah and over and above that a loss of Hannah huata. 435 00:33:00,839 --> 00:33:07,480 He places the final nail by saying yeah a helkitapi or people of the 436 00:33:07,559 --> 00:33:19,480 book lima to ha jun nafi Iberrah. Why are you disputing about way Abraham 437 00:33:19,519 --> 00:33:30,400 belonged wamazinata to Gino in bardi afla attacking on. You want to call him 438 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:35,000 duo Christian, but the Torah and the Bible were only revealed after him, 439 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:40,039 So don't you have brains? Lou Akaba. You're calling him Jewish, but 440 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:45,799 the Torah was revealed after him. You're calling him Christian, but the Bible 441 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,720 was revealed after him, So Alas is, don't you have the sense to 442 00:33:47,839 --> 00:33:53,880 understand he was a submitter, which means his whole beauty was that he never 443 00:33:54,119 --> 00:33:58,720 associated a partner with his maker. Why don't you do the same. And 444 00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:04,400 this is why in those verses, Alas tells Mohammed, call the people of 445 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,800 the book, call all the Christians, call all the Jews, and tell 446 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:30,880 them, yeah, Kitaa in kalimatisawa Buddha in la. While Alabama invite them 447 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:35,679 by saying, O, people of the book, come closer to us, 448 00:34:36,119 --> 00:34:42,000 Come and let's join ranks on one common word between us. That none of 449 00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:49,159 us should worship any besides our Maker alone without associating partners with him at all. 450 00:34:49,519 --> 00:34:53,239 And none of us should believe that any one of us should be worshiping 451 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:58,360 one another. Don't worship one another, don't worship a human, don't worship 452 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,639 a prophet, don't worship a saint, don't worship a messenger, don't know 453 00:35:01,039 --> 00:35:05,800 worship Allah alone. And that's it. And that's the word that Allah tells 454 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,920 Muhammad salaalahu are. He was seldom to invite the Jews and the Christians with, 455 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,760 and we are inviting them with exactly the same word, come to the 456 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,800 common word, that which is between us, and you worship your maker alone 457 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:23,559 and nobody else. And Alas says, if they still do not want, 458 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,280 then you should just say, we bear witness that we are the submissives. 459 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,679 We have submitted. We will never worship people. We will never worship Jesus, 460 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,920 may peace be upon him. We will never worship prophets. We will 461 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,280 never worship render any act of worship for a stick or a stone, or 462 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,880 any sun or the moon. No, only for a lass of Hannah howatad. 463 00:35:43,079 --> 00:35:47,840 So this was a beautiful, beautiful way of explaining. And this is 464 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:52,400 why Alasu Hannah Howat Alah tells us all. And he tells Muhammed Salahu ala 465 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:57,199 he was Selam as well after calling Ibrahim Adeh is Salam with one of the 466 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,679 most powerful words that he could have been called with is follow his example. 467 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:12,679 Listen to what Alas is in Iberra him akh Um. Ibrahim himself was an 468 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,440 ummah. Look at the word used. What is the meaning of ummah. 469 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:20,519 Ummah is referring to two things. It refers to leadership. He was a 470 00:36:20,599 --> 00:36:25,039 leader, he was a powerful leader. And ummah also means he was a 471 00:36:25,159 --> 00:36:30,719 nation in the sense that he had so much goodness that he was the founding 472 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:35,119 pillar of entire nations to come after him. And on top of that, 473 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:40,920 his sincerity and his monotheism was so powerful that it was equivalent to all the 474 00:36:42,039 --> 00:36:46,719 others who came after him. Subhana lah from his people alas subhanahwat ala grant 475 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:53,199 is a deep understanding. And after that Alah suphanahuata alas is thum Hyena elaika 476 00:36:53,320 --> 00:37:02,559 and ita mi eberraim hanifa Ama Khan al Mushiriki. Then we revealed to you, 477 00:37:02,679 --> 00:37:08,159 O, Muhammed was Aldam follow this pure pristine path of Abraham. May 478 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:13,960 peace be upon him, for indeed he was not from amongst those who associated 479 00:37:14,039 --> 00:37:19,000 partners with us. Then alas Hannah, how Alah again praises Ibrahim Adam in 480 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:27,280 the Koran. Alas is woman ahsan udin amim man is islamhuni lah him wahu 481 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:34,800 sin what Tabahami letter ibrarahim a hanif who can there be better in religion than 482 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:40,360 the one who has surrendered to his own God, the one who has submitted 483 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:45,360 to Allah, and he has followed the pristine path of Abraham. May peace 484 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:50,480 be upon him without associating partners with Alas su Hannah, Howat Alah and alasi 485 00:37:50,559 --> 00:37:57,239 is what Allah who ibrahimina hence Allah to Kibrahim as a hellen, as a 486 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,719 close friend. Because of all that he did, look at the praise of 487 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,679 Allah Subhanah, Howat Alah, the praise of Ibrahim by a las Supana Howat 488 00:38:04,679 --> 00:38:07,039 Alah is great and alas Supanna howat Ala says. Then Ibrahim made to ours 489 00:38:07,119 --> 00:38:10,079 to us, and we answered them one after the other. He made a 490 00:38:10,159 --> 00:38:19,599 dua what I calla iberahim or a medial al bada mean o Allah grand security 491 00:38:19,639 --> 00:38:23,800 in this place today, there is safety in Macca subhana la. He says, 492 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:28,519 make this city, this town very secure, very safe, Marshalla. 493 00:38:28,599 --> 00:38:32,079 It is very safe, safe in comparison to other places of the globe. 494 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:37,559 Supana Howat Alah grant as security. And also it is known as a haram 495 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:43,280 haaram meaning prohibited to engage in sin, prohibited to engage in certain items in 496 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:49,760 that particular territory, prohibited to kill insects and animals unnecessarily in that particular territory. 497 00:38:50,039 --> 00:38:54,559 They are all in peace because of the dua of Ibrahim Alasanam. So 498 00:38:54,639 --> 00:38:59,320 when Ibrahim says, ya Allah make this a peaceful place. Allah prohibited all 499 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,960 of us from harming any creatures or anyone there. Whoever sins in Mecca has 500 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,599 or will receive a greater sin than the same sin being committed elsewhere on the 501 00:39:08,679 --> 00:39:13,360 globe. Alas suphanahat Allah protect us all from sin, and may He forgive 502 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,800 our sins. Then Alas suhana Ala says, he says, what your noubani 503 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:32,679 Abani and las name Robbie in kathminanas from a tabiani for Inhomi woman nasaani for 504 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:40,800 in Rahim or Allah, save myself and save my offspring, my children from 505 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:45,280 worshiping idols. Well, indeed these idols have led a lot of people astray. 506 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:50,000 Or Allah, whoever follows me, they are from me. And whoever 507 00:39:50,079 --> 00:39:53,119 does not follow, Yeah, Allah, you are most forgiving. Look at 508 00:39:53,159 --> 00:39:58,159 what he said, whoever does not follow yea, Allah you are most forgiving. 509 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,880 So alashana Ala heard the do our. So therefore Allah makes mention of 510 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:15,920 something interesting. Ala sukhanahwat Alah says, calla'ama kafara faoma oh colleen anoro in 511 00:40:15,119 --> 00:40:22,920 arada, I mean. When Allah responded, Ibrahim Alas said, I will 512 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,519 grant you all the goodness. I will give you the produce. I will 513 00:40:24,559 --> 00:40:29,320 give you every form of goodness. And for those who follow you, as 514 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:35,559 well as for those who disbelieve, I will give them a chance. I 515 00:40:35,639 --> 00:40:38,440 will give them a respite. I will give them goodness in this world. 516 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:44,039 They may receive a lot of good in the world. Whoever turns to me 517 00:40:44,159 --> 00:40:49,440 turns whoever doesn't, then they will be subjected to severe punishment if they don't 518 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,239 turn before their point of death. So our call firstly to all of us 519 00:40:52,639 --> 00:40:57,400 and then to those who are not Muslim. We need to turn to our 520 00:40:57,559 --> 00:41:01,480 maker and submit to the one who creates us alone before we die. So 521 00:41:01,559 --> 00:41:05,599 when we pray, we say, oh you who made me, you alone? 522 00:41:05,679 --> 00:41:07,159 Do I put my head on the ground for Oh you, whom I'm 523 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,800 going to return to, have mercy upon me the day I return to you. 524 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,519 We do not risk anything in Islam. In Islam, no risks. 525 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,199 I don't say oh Man, oh Stone, o person, oh Prophet. 526 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,480 No I say oh Allah, yeah Allah. When I return to you, 527 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:27,079 grant me goodness. I am putting my head on the ground for you alone. 528 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,679 This is the power of Ibrahim's call and Chaipan has come after that to 529 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:36,039 divert people away from this. So he diverted the Christians, and he diverted 530 00:41:36,079 --> 00:41:38,239 so many other people. They began to worship people, and they began to 531 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:45,199 worship others. May Allah sud Hannah howat Ala safeguards so Ibrahim ali Islam makes 532 00:41:45,199 --> 00:41:50,119 another dua and he alas sud Hanah Hawat Alah firstly praises him. Alasays Ibrahim 533 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,159 shah k an Rameh. He was a person who was always thankful. He 534 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:57,800 was never ungrateful. No matter what condition we kept him on, he was 535 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:05,679 thankful alas is ij tabah Ella all things tuk him. Allah chose him, 536 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,400 and Allah guided him to the right path. So this is why we need 537 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:12,119 to ask Allah to guide us. Guidance is in the hands of Allah. 538 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,320 Suhannah Howat. We can hear a powerful talk and we leave here saying it's 539 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:19,960 a powerful talk. Hey, today I heard a lack of speech. Masham. 540 00:42:20,559 --> 00:42:23,360 That's where it stops. If that's the case, what guidance did we 541 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:28,039 get from it? Did my life change because I heard a powerful talk? 542 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,320 If it changed? Now we are speaking even if we don't tell anyone we 543 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:35,079 heard a powerful talk. But our lives changed. Now we have achieved something, 544 00:42:35,559 --> 00:42:38,360 but if it hasn't changed, we will hear talk after talk, eloquence 545 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:44,000 upon eloquence, and still we won't change. We will continue saying good talk, 546 00:42:44,079 --> 00:42:45,119 good talk, good talk, and that's where it will stop. When 547 00:42:45,159 --> 00:42:50,599 we die, also we'll be talking good Laho akbar alas Hannah not do that 548 00:42:50,679 --> 00:42:55,840 to us. So Alas says Tanna Hassanah, we gave him goodness in this 549 00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:02,360 world. And what in nahuf in I mean as sali, and even in 550 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,679 the Ahara, we have taken him as those who are Salah, those who 551 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,079 appear to enter into the Ahara on the highest of levels. And alas ubhannahwat 552 00:43:10,079 --> 00:43:16,320 alyases Ibrahim al Salam always made to a for his children. Whenever Allah granted 553 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,119 him something, he says, yea, Lah, what about my children? 554 00:43:19,199 --> 00:43:22,519 What about my officering? From all the time before he had children. So 555 00:43:22,599 --> 00:43:34,760 when alas Hannah, howat alyassala ivarahim rambo bi kalimatia hun kala in jaino khalimzi 556 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:39,519 Imama. When Allah tested Ibrahim al Salam, he passed all the tests. 557 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:43,800 So Allah says, oh, Ibrahim, I appoint you as an Imam as 558 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:49,000 a leader. What did he say, kaula amiliati yalla? What about my 559 00:43:49,079 --> 00:43:52,960 family? What about my children? You made me an imam. I want 560 00:43:52,039 --> 00:43:58,480 them also to be Imam's. So look what Alas says Allah akbar Allah speaks 561 00:43:58,519 --> 00:44:07,199 about the progeny now of Brahm al Islam alas Hannah Ala says waal Namin hum 562 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:19,000 wajillahum imad nabi Amrina. We made them also imams. We made them also 563 00:44:19,199 --> 00:44:27,960 leaders who were calling towards us. What our hyena inlayhimlati itamas salati, what 564 00:44:28,199 --> 00:44:34,000 itazakati. And we revealed to them to do good and to enjoin that which 565 00:44:34,079 --> 00:44:39,159 is good, and to give out charities and to fulfill their prayers. These 566 00:44:39,199 --> 00:44:43,280 were some of the things that Allah revealed upon the children of Ibrahim. Now 567 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:50,039 a question might arise. The question is, so who were the offspring? 568 00:44:50,079 --> 00:44:53,880 Alas Hana tells Ibraham. Yeah, Ibrahim, the gift we want to give 569 00:44:53,960 --> 00:45:00,800 you is two things. Will keep it in your family, prophethood and revelation 570 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:05,719 in your family. The books that will come down your family, all of 571 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,920 them, and the messengers your family. So Allah tells us in the forearm, 572 00:45:10,039 --> 00:45:15,239 the names of some of these children of Ibrahim, whom he had chosen. 573 00:45:15,599 --> 00:45:20,639 Do you want to hear these names so beautifully? They had just written 574 00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:29,400 out Allahu Akaba Alas of hanahaat aalyases Wawa haaban Alah, who is Hakawakub? 575 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:34,880 You had two names, isn't it so hannahlah alasa is We granted him a 576 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,280 gift of his haken Yakub. His ma is coming. Just now the name 577 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:44,719 will come. He was also a child, so alass of hanahwat aalyases Kulanhadainah. 578 00:45:45,199 --> 00:45:51,800 We guided them all Hanhadaina Kabulu, just like we had guided Noah before 579 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,360 them. So no Halai Salam was the father Ibrahim. Had Salam was from 580 00:45:55,400 --> 00:46:00,599 the family of Nor. And now we find allus made mention of two names. 581 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:07,639 It's hark and Yakub. Then a las sub Hannah atalyas is wa Mei 582 00:46:08,159 --> 00:46:16,320 Daulai, Manawai, Bau Sufa Musawaha. Look at the names one after the 583 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:20,800 other. Moses are own. So on, So on, Allah as peace 584 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,239 be a pond them. It doesn't stop there. Allah gives us a break 585 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:30,559 so we can rest, We can take a breath. Alas is singing. 586 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:35,400 That is how we recompense those who do good, which means we keep the 587 00:46:35,519 --> 00:46:38,599 Dean in their progeny. You find the strong alum of dean, his children 588 00:46:38,639 --> 00:46:42,960 will also be ulama, and his grandchildren will also be ulama. For as 589 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,719 long as they are serving the Dean, their children will continue serving the Dean. 590 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:53,519 That is Allah. And then and it continues. Was the carrya yaha 591 00:46:54,719 --> 00:47:01,119 yah another four names and gives us a break in a sali in. They 592 00:47:01,159 --> 00:47:09,679 were all pious, isna akaba. Look at all the names, one after 593 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:15,000 the other. They're just being recited a lost telling Salam. Here you are. 594 00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:20,280 Everything is set. When we instructed you, you surrendered without ever batting 595 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,159 an eyelid. Now you look what will happen for you. This is a 596 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,679 lesson for us. Allah tests you one, two, three, four. 597 00:47:27,039 --> 00:47:30,199 He tests you one after the other, big big tests. When you surrender 598 00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,920 once twice, three times. Don't start saying, oh, someone did magic 599 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,880 on me, that's why this is happening. No, it is Allah. 600 00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,159 He's testing you. When you pass all those tests, Allah will fling open 601 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:45,840 those doors in such a way that you won't even know love Akaba so alas 602 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,679 Sumhanahata says after that, it's not stopped. The names might have stopped, 603 00:47:49,679 --> 00:48:04,199 but Alas says one mean aba in him him hum m mustaphie from their parents, 604 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,840 from their children, from their brethren. We guided them, We chose 605 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,679 them, We showed them the right path. So not only those names, 606 00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:14,920 but all their families, a lot of them, alass we guided them because 607 00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:21,079 Ibrahim a his salams effort and his sacrifice. And this is why Annah alas 608 00:48:21,199 --> 00:48:30,039 is what conia iberra Himaha is hata, what iber him a is harka komba 609 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:38,599 in ad one Abosa Omham seldom make mention of Ibrahim is hak and Yakub, 610 00:48:39,119 --> 00:48:44,599 who were granted lots of power, and they were granted lots of foresight. 611 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:52,519 Alasses in alasnahum. We chose them, We chose them. And this is 612 00:48:52,559 --> 00:48:59,840 why in the Koran, right at the beginning, Alas is in Allaha safadau 613 00:49:00,119 --> 00:49:07,800 how ala Ibrahim alah imran ala la Lahmi. Allah has chosen Adam, and 614 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:13,360 he chose and the progeny, and he chose the family of Abraham, and 615 00:49:13,519 --> 00:49:16,360 he chose the family of Amran. May peace be upon them. All Allah 616 00:49:16,519 --> 00:49:22,159 chose them over and above all of mankind. So it's Allah who chooses and 617 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,800 this is why Alas speaks about jealousy. People today are jealous someone is an 618 00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:30,840 alim. They're jealous. Someone has wealth, They're jealous. Someone has goodness. 619 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:35,519 They're jealous someone has any form of something positive. People become jealous. 620 00:49:36,159 --> 00:49:38,920 So Alas is jealousy. Do you want to know whom we best out the 621 00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:46,480 most? You think you know what jealousy is all about? Amyahsudun and alamahom 622 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:53,039 Lomi. Fuddly are they being jealous with the normal and ordinary people regarding the 623 00:49:53,199 --> 00:49:57,199 virtue that Allah has given them? Alas is hang on. We want to 624 00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:04,480 tell you what we gave someone else. Fakadina ala ibarra him and kitab a 625 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:13,519 hikmaaina hum mulkan ala the family of Abraham. We gave them all three things 626 00:50:13,599 --> 00:50:15,639 that you could ever be jealous about. What are the three things we gave 627 00:50:15,679 --> 00:50:20,079 them al qitab, which means we revealed books to them, We gave them 628 00:50:20,159 --> 00:50:22,159 revelation, We kept it in them. Now, let's see who wants to 629 00:50:22,159 --> 00:50:27,400 speak about jealousy. Then, Alas of hahnahawat aalyases we gave them hikma, 630 00:50:27,519 --> 00:50:30,639 We gave them the wisdom, We gave them the path. Look at Ibrahim, 631 00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:32,400 how he spoke to the people, how he conveyed the message. Look 632 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:37,119 at Muhammad, Salah was seldom from the family of Ibrahim, how he conveyed 633 00:50:37,119 --> 00:50:42,519 the message Salah who he was seldom and Alas subhanahawatnalysis. We gave them in 634 00:50:42,599 --> 00:50:46,280 the family of Abraham, Mulkan Aldeman. We gave them lots and lots of 635 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:51,960 not only property, but even authority. Take a look at David and Solomon, 636 00:50:52,039 --> 00:50:54,800 Daoud and Suleiman. Made peace be upon them. They were prophets and 637 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,880 they were kings at the same time. Subhana Lah, they were from the 638 00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,079 family of Ibrahim. Is Salah to a Salam, so alas is look at 639 00:51:01,079 --> 00:51:05,880 what we gave them. So don't be jealous, ask Allah, Allah is 640 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:07,679 the owner. By you being jealous of someone, it's not going to come 641 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,039 to you. If that was the case, we'd all be looking hard at 642 00:51:10,039 --> 00:51:15,320 the raymond will of that man. Mashallah, look at it and suddenly you 643 00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:19,320 find it in your hand. Masham, that was the case. You look 644 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,440 at everybody's vehicles as well, driving next to the guy with a Bugatti and 645 00:51:22,559 --> 00:51:24,480 you just stare at it. The next thing, you feel like you're in 646 00:51:24,559 --> 00:51:29,519 it Allah lakaba. If that was the case, that would be the system. 647 00:51:29,639 --> 00:51:32,039 Alas says, No, you want to one, ask Allah work towards 648 00:51:32,119 --> 00:51:37,079 it, you will achieve it. You want Allas pleasure spiritually, ask Allah 649 00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:42,159 work towards it. You will achieve it. Annahatala open our doors. Then 650 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,320 we have the death of Ibrahiman Salah to a Salam. He passed away, 651 00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:51,599 and it is reported and recorded that he passed away in an area Infalos theme 652 00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,599 which is today known as Al Khalil. It is known as al Khalen also 653 00:51:54,679 --> 00:51:59,880 known as Hebron, and where he passed away he was buried. He was 654 00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:04,719 kafan enshrouded by his own children and buried their subhan Allah. Then there are 655 00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:09,119 the two children of Brahim Alah is Salam, is Maim and is Hak. 656 00:52:09,519 --> 00:52:13,320 The older one is his Smail, may peace be upon him. The younger 657 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,920 one is his Hak. Not much has been mentioned in the Quran about both 658 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:20,760 of them, besides the story of his Smail adh is Salam prior to him 659 00:52:21,079 --> 00:52:24,239 having been granted prophethood by Alas Suhnannah Hawat Alah. After that, Allah makes 660 00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:28,800 mention of very few qualities of him. I'd like to make mention of them 661 00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:32,800 today so that tomorrow wee can commence with the prophet lut and chadah alas is 662 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:38,880 in the verses we read this evening in Tarawi alas subhanahwat Ala says what kurufin 663 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:46,719 Kitabi Ismae make mention of the prophet Ismail in the book in Nahu kan asadi 664 00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:52,000 Kadi.
