Biss mila rahmani Rahim in the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the
most merciful. Heard a lot low heard. Part Excellence presents lessens from the
stories of the Prophets by Mufti Ismail even musa mank he brought him and his
Salam. Part two Abraham, Peace be upon him. Part two about a
cat mann Rahim a Hamda, who is sola Lah, who is selah awabaraka
alah malan Abada who alah ali he as happy he a jamaina Abad. All
praise is due to our loss of Hannahua to Allah. Blessings and salutations upon
Muhammad salalah hu ali he is seldom we ask a loss of hannahuata Alah to
bless him and all his companions, and to bless every single one of us,
and to accept from us the sacrifice that we are making in this month
of Ramavan. Although compared to the sacrifices of the prophets and the messengers,
it is absolutely nothing what we are going through. But we still ask a
loss of hannahuat Alah to make us strong and to accept it from us and
to grant us every form of goodness. Beloved brothers and sisters. We are
in the midst of a very powerful story of one of the most powerful messengers,
the one who was granted the highest status from all the prophets besides Muhammed
salaalahu Ali, he was seller and asulus A Selam makes mention of the fact
that when he went up in Maharaja, when he went up to the seventh
heavens, he was taken up physically by Alas suphanahwat Alah. Miraculously he met
Ibrahim aleaihi Salah to a Salam in the seventh heaven closest to Alas of hannahwat
Alah. Now I'd like to share with you something very very powerful. Alas
suhannahawat Alah describes this young Ibrahim alaihi Salah to a Salam as one with a
pure heart, a perfect heart, the heart that had no spiritual defect at
all. Listen to what he says. After he makes mention of the story
of Noah, May peace be upon him. Alasu hanahawat Alah says, while
in Amishiaiti iberonai Iam bahu Sali and from the family of Noah, from his
offspring, there was one messenger known as Ibrahim he met his rubber. He
found his rubber, and he had met his rubb. He came to his
rubber with a perfect heart. Look at the word used kalbin Salim. And
this is why the same Ibrahim told his father. He says, Oh,
my father, I am worried about the day when all this wealth and all
these children and everything will not help you. Yao malaia faomlualaban in lahman at
a lahhabi qualb Sali on the day of judgment, no amount of wealth will
help you. No amount of children will be able to help you. Accept
the only thing that will help you is if you have come on that day
with a calm heart, a perfect heart, a clean heart, a heart
that has not engaged in any form of association of partnership with the Maker.
And Ibrahim ale is Salam, from a young age understood that I need to
only worship my Maker, and I will face a lot of trial as I
am getting closer and closer to my Maker. So from a young age,
if we picture what was said yesterday when he looked at the idols, when
everybody was gone, a child from amongst us would probably feel scared if they
were brought up believing that these stones are gods, they would not feel the
power to be able to be alone with them and then talk to them and
then break them. Imagine what type of a perfect heart this young child had.
He did not fear at all nothing annala. That is Brahim alahisala to
asaalam. And he knew for a fact that I have robbed. I have
a maker that is the only one who can save me. And he also
knew that as I am the closest one to my maker, my life is
not going to be rosy. My life is not going to be full of
ease, because he knew from the very beginning that life is only a test.
This is what I think we don't understand. Many of us think.
I am reading Salah, I am making Doah, I am engaging in fasting,
I am reading Kuran, I am trying my best, I am abstaining
from sin. Why is my life not rosy? Why do I still have
turbulence? Why do I have problems? Well, Ibrahim was one of the
highest and he had problem after problem, but he never looked at it as
a problem. He looked at it as a beautiful test from Allah, a
challenge one after the other. A test, an opportunity to gain even more
closeness to a loss of hanahwatta. This is why the prophets Allahu anahima Selam
says in Allah either aha Abdalah, it is only when Allah loves a slave
he puts tests in his life. And another narration says Eva mul ajiri Eva
mi liberty laugh. The greater the tests, the greater the reward. The
bigger rewards are with those tests that are far greater. Ibrahim ali Salam had
some of the greatest tests. As we said, he is in the bee
who was so high after Muhammad salalah Allah. He was Alam, which means
the day we study the life of Muhammad salalaho Allah he was seldom we will
find even greater tests than that. He didn't even have a father, which
means he was an orphan sol lah Alai. He was slam bram alai Salam.
His parents were there, but he had to challenge his own parents.
So this is what is meant by the tests of life. My beloved brothers
and sisters, the closer you get to Alla subranahuata Alah, the more tests
He's going to put in your life. So it is just the condition of
the heart that will determine whether you are actually in the test of Allah or
whether it is punishment. Abanawat Alah saf godess from punishment, and may he
grant us all hearts that will definitely be full of peace and ease. I
mean yesterday we had ended where we were making mention of the story of Nimroud,
when Ibrahim ad salahtua Salam destroyed the idols, and he had placed that
ax which he used. One narration says on the ear or the bulk of
the historians, and the narrations make mention of around the neck, around the
neck or the shoulder of this particular idol. And thereafter the community faced him
and they decided to create a fire for him, and they threw him in
it, and he came out of it scot free. In fact, he
walked out of it as though he had come out of some cool place.
And when the king heard of it, he decided to call him, and
this Nimroud was granted a lot of power by alass of hanahou at Allah so
Allah makes mention of the story in the Purana al Antara Ila jahibarraiim Ma Fiona
be Atlah. Do you see the one who decided to argue and debate with
Ibrahim regarding Ibrahim's rabba, regarding the one whom Ibrahim was worshiping, just because
Allah had given him kingdom and Allah gave him authority, which means if he
did not have that authority, he wouldn't have called Ibrahim Ali his salam to
debate with him. Mala Subhanahuatla make us from those whom when Allah has given
us a little bit of the authority on land, it humbles us down and
we become closer to the ground as possible, and we return and surrender to
Allah. Suhanna howat Alah is calla Eberrahim or rabihi Wayomi to hi Waomi.
There were people who used to worship this king. He used to call himself
a god. As we heard yesterday, they not only worshiped idols, but
they also started worshiping human beings. So the king said, who is the
one you worship, oh Ibrahim? So Ibrahim says, I worship the one
who gives life and takes that life he gives death. So this king thought
he's talking to a youngster who doesn't have a mind or a brain good enough.
So he says, well, I give life and I also cause death.
And what did he do? The historians make mention of the fact that
he brought in two prisoners who were meant to die, which means who were
sentenced to death, and he said, look, I'm giving life. Free
him and he was free. And look, I've given death. Killed that
one. He was killed. So Ibraim my n Sonam looks and decides,
you know what, there's no point in arguing with a fool. This man
doesn't understand what life we're talking about. That the whole gift of life,
that we enjoy, the life as we have from the beginning to the end,
the life when it started. All that is what I'm meaning. But
if I talk to this fool in that way, he's not going to understand
it. So the best way is to ignore that. Now, let me
attack him on another line, something he will not be able to talk about.
He says, okay, Braim Alisalam looks at him and says, okay,
callaiberra him for in Allah TV shensi tim al Maib. Simple question.
If Brian says, okay, I worship the one Allah who causes the sun
to rise from the east. I want you to cause it to rise from
the west, then I will worship you fabuh lavika. For he was defeated
completely. He was a disbeliever. He had no answer, no response.
Imagine a young man Chab telling a king without fear. Why because he had
a kalbun Salem, he had a clean heart, solid he knew nothing can
harm me. Size Allah lahu akbar so alas is walaula kaum a volume.
Allah will not guide those who are oppressors. The lesson we have to learn
from that if we are oppressors. Yes, the term rullm is used to
mean and to refer to shirik to refer to association of partnership with Allah.
That is the greatest bull and this is mentioned in the Puran in Shikalavulman.
Definitely, association of partnership with Allah sohana Alah is the greatest flow of oppressure
greatest. So anyone who engages in that, Alas says, we don't guide
him. We throw him out because he's not looking for guidance. You need
to cleanse yourself from that. First, come onto the path and seek the
guidance. Then allow will guide you. But over and above that the omu
maulm. The the broader meaning of the word oppression includes when we are oppressing
people, when we are doing something wrong. Because the term uln is what
or shay if he reaid in Mahali to put something where it does not belong.
So naturally, when a person is going to steal, he is oppressing.
When a person is using vulgar language, or when a person is engaged
in that which they are not meant to be engaging in, they have engaged
in oppression. So when a person is committing sin and they are not interested
in turning to Allah, how is Allah going to guide them? This is
why Alla says wal ladina jahaduf ina lahdia hum sumul na. It is those
who struggle and strive to come towards us whom we shall open the doors of
guidance. For if you are struggling and striving to go towards Allah, you
are making an effort. You are spending your resources in trying to find a
law, in trying to get closer to Allah. Sudhnahwat Alah. He will
open the doors of guidance if you're looking for that guidance. So now after
this, the king was silenced. Ibrahim ali Salam left and he decides,
look, I need to disappear from this area because they warned him. They
said we are going to kill you. They said we are going to kill
you. We are going to stone you to death. And this was a
threat that they had made. He decided physically, I don't want to fight.
The only person who's accepted my message is lut alas is in the kuranfa
ah Man Alahulu. The one who accepted his message was Luke. At some
stage there was a female who accepted his message, his own wife, Sarah
Alas of Hannah Howatala's peace be upon the two of them. He took the
two of them and decided, I now need to go, and Alas of
Hanahuatlah showed him a place to go, and Alas of Hannah Howatalah decided to
send him further up north to the Holy Lands. The land of Sham Sham
today is made up of a few countries Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and
Jordan. Those areas put together, that entire region is called a sham.
So he went and Mashallah. He settled around close to what we know as
Jerusalem, today we ask alas of Hannah howat Aalah to take us there in
Shallah, and we ask a loss of Hannah howatala to liberate it for us.
And we ask a loss of Hannah houwat Aalah to grant us victory and
to grant us peace and stability across the globe. I mean, so as
Ibrahim ade salatwa Salam was going there, he stopped at a certain place called
Haran. And Haran he thought, let me stop here and I will call
these people towards Allah, because only two people have accepted this message. And
he gave up his family. He gave up his parents, he gave up
his community, He gave up absolutely everything. Nothing harmed him. He walked
out. Imagine he walked out without fearing that anything is going to harm him,
because he knows allies on my side. And he continued and then he
got to Haran, and he found that there the situation was even worse,
was even worse. What were they doing in Haran? They were worshiping the
stars. He found people. They did not worship stones and sticks. They
worshiped the stars. And the beauty of it was that when they called out
to the stars they found results, They got results. Where did these results
come from? It is also a test from a loss of hannahoatla. You
find some people they decide to go to the san goomas. I'm sure we
know about people whom when they're sick or something happens, they go to a
witch doctor, a fortune teller. When they go to that sangoma, they
get cured. Hey, they excited, they happy they I got cured.
They send other people there. That does not make it right, not at
all. That is, in fact a bigger test from a loss of anahuatlah,
a bigger test. Remember, what is wrong is wrong, even if
you are achieving something good by it. When a person goes to steal,
he gets a lot of money, but that's wrong. So when a person
goes to get his health back in a way that is wrong. He might
get his health back, but it's still wrong. I hope we understand the
example. Alas of Hannah Howatala open our doors. So it's a test from
Allah Alas of Hannah. Howatala tested them in that way. And then if
I am Ad Salam decided, you know, I need to speak to them
properly. Firstly, we're only three these people are whole community, and I
am here. Let me start talking to them in their language. So alas
of Hannah. Howatala says, as he was sitting with them, philamjan Lura,
Counkba, carlhaa be as the night came and the darkness fell, he
saw a star and he said loudly, this is my rub. There is
a chance, there is a possibility, this is my rub. They're all
looking at him, They're like sort of happy, Hey, this is one
of us. But he did not consider it, nor was he ever considering
it. He was albun Salim from the beginning. He the pure heart from
the beginning. Some people, when they read these verses of the Qur'an,
they translate them as though Ibrahim a Salam had a doubt and he was looking
at the stars and thinking, should I worship this? Should I worship that?
Norahim Ahula says, absolutely not. What happened was in haran. Ibrahim
Alealam decided to use it as a method of explaining to them step by step
to get to a loss of Hannah Talah. So when that's planet that was
appears as a star, some narrations say the planet Venus as it sets and
it stopped appearing. He looked to me, he says, where's that star
that I was worshiping just now moments ago? Phalam ala cal a la or
him bonafini. When it's set, he quickly said, I don't like those
things that's set, because if they set, what am I gonna do?
It's weak this now, if I've got a problem right now, what do
I do? I've got to wait for it to come back the following night
in order to call out to it. So they were looking at him.
They were slightly convincing themselves that yes, this man is speaking sense. And
now what happened? He said, look, I found something bigger than that.
What was it? Phalamma, I'll camarabasi wrong calam He saw the moon
big and he says, okay, this is much bigger than that one we
had just now. I think this might be a rab. This might be
my rab. So they're looking they happy. Also, yes, he's contemplating,
considering philam a phil alcohol a lah ilam yadini arambi la uncunana mean a
look Calmia. When it's set, he said, if my maker look at
how he's going back to the word maker if my maker does not guide me,
my Lord does not guide me, then I will be from amongst those
who are astray because I cannot worship this. It is now gone. And
suddenly at sunrise the sun appeared. When the sun appeared, it was shining.
Now these people used to worship stars, not the sun. But look,
if Sam is showing them there's something bigger than the stars, the moon.
The moon also goes. There's something bigger than the moon, the sun,
he says, Phalam Ma shaan sabaziv call. He looked at the sun
and he says, okay, this thing has now risen. It is the
biggest from all of those, I think this must be the rob. It
is more deserving of being a rob than those two things that just went by.
Phalam a flat. Now when it's sets, what was left? There's
nothing left now, the stars gone, the moon gone, the sun gone.
When the sun sets. What if you have a pro problem at night?
Now, who do you call out to? You gotta wait twelve hours
for that thing to come back up before you can say, hey, I
got a problem. So what did he say? All? I call me
in very tu shiku in jiangu waja here Lin navivatarasammahanifa Wamamushinki. He said,
oh, my people, I am free. I disassociate myself completely from that
which you are associating as partners with the one who made the skies, the
earth, the stars, the moon, the sun, myself and yourself.
Who ever made me, you, and all these creatures in existence, whoever
he is, I owe my entire worship solely and only to him, and
I will never ever associate a spec of partnership with that maker of mine.
Look at how powerful this man was. He was given the power. We're
going to come to that verse. So immediately they started arguing with him.
Jan these people started debating with him, and there was a give and take
speech. They are saying things, he is responding. They are saying things,
He is responding. Then he said, call to her you if,
oh godad, how can you debate with me about my own maker, about
my creator, about Allah? And he has guided me, He has given
me guidance. I know that what I am doing is definitely correct. I
do not have a speck of doubt. And this is why when we are
worshiping Allah and Allah alone without anything together with a loss Subhannah, howat Alah.
We know we're on the right path. Nobody can shake us, not
at all. Once you've tasted that, you will never go back lahu akbar,
because you know your rab is with you. This was the taste of
Ivrahim ah sala to a Salam. When he tasted that I am worshiping Allah
alone, there was nothing more he needed. He could argue, he could
debate, he could destroy those that were called gods besides Allah. Today,
if we are to walk into a place and we find people worshipping stones and
sticks and so on and what have you. And you know, if we
had to purchase a house and in it we found all these things, we
would rather call the previous owners and say, look, take your things away.
Some people might feel scared to dispose of this and to destroy it.
Why you just bought the house. You can actually destroy it and fulfill the
Sunna of Muhammad salaalah Alam and the son of a is Salam, and get
closer to Allah subhannahuata alah. Obviously, we are not calling to the destruction
or for the destruction of what others are worshiping at the moment. Leave it,
Let them do what they want, because it's a free world out there.
But we are saying, if you've purchased a property and you find something
in your own property, you can destroy it. There's no problem, no
harm. Alas of anahwat Alah grant us a deep understanding, and may he
use us to promote true peace on the globe, and may he use us
really to serve his cause, and may he use us to let the masses
turn to Islam. So alasu hanahwat Alah speaks about this debate, and after
that he says, while a afa from my tushini Kunabi, I do not
fear anything that you are associating as partners with allah in llahah aram meha.
They can do nothing to me unless my own creator wills that something bad happened
to me, or anything happens to me. They cannot harm me, they
cannot benefit me. I don't fear them at all. The only thing I
fear if a loss of Hannah howat Ala. My maker wants something, it
can happen. If he doesn't want it, it won't happen. Then he
tells them he asks them a question, a powerful question. He says,
listen to how powerful the question is? Young man asking a question, okay
for a half man, I shrug tom half and a shrug to bin him
Adam, you silviakanaumtalam. How can I fear those things that you are associating
as partners with Allah? When you are not fearing the fact that you have
associated partners with a loss of Hannah? Howat Alah, you're not fearing Allah
and the fact that you've associated partners with him, and you want me to
fear those partners that you have taken as partners with the Maker, with the
creator, probably jalal. How So, he says, look out of us
the two parties, who is more deserving of peace and comfort and contentment and
protection aladina a man jamil bisu ima hu hullah in ka lahumu wahum. Those
who have believed and they have not contaminated their imaan with any association of partnership
with Allah, they are more deserving of comfort, contentment, protection, and
they are the ones who are rightly guided. And then alas is what ilka
tunaina Ibrahim Kami. That was the power of debate that we gave to Ibrahim
over his people. Alass We gave him the power of debating over his peace
people. It was the signing. It was the evidence against his own people
that alas Subhanahwatala had given him. What a powerful statement. Ibrahim alai is
Salam. In the Quran. If you turn the pages of the Qoran,
you will see in a lot of places he uses the word fathered farther meaning
creator. He says, ill Levi Fataraani, the one who created me,
the one who created the skies, father u Samawati, the one who made
this, the one who made that. He always used to refer to the
maker, because you cannot dispute that. So when we are calling people to
Islam, we should always tell them in Islam, we only worship our maker,
whoever made me. I call him the worshiped one, and I put
my head on the ground for him alone and nobody else. This is called
the Millah of Ibrahim Alaih is sala to a Salam, the path and the
teaching and the religion of Ibrahim alaih is sala to a Salam. So after
that they started threatening him to kill him. Look at this once again,
another person threatening to kill And look at this man, and as he's now
growing in age, and he's got a perfect heart, It does not shake
him at all. He had a problem in his own community. They threatened
to kill him. He left. Now he went to Haran. He's calling
these people. He knocked them out in debate. Look, this is the
Nabe who debated the most. May Allas peace be upon him. He debated
with his parents, he debated with his community, he debated with the king,
He debated with this one. He debated with the people in Haran,
and each time he defeated them completely. This is the meaning of the term
hujah that Allah gave him the power really alas of Anahoatala gave him that evidence
against his people, the ability to not only to engage them in discussion,
but to overpower them in such a way that they have no answer. So
when a person has no answer, what do they do. When you have
overpowered someone and now they've got no answer and they still don't want to surrender,
they need to start threatening you physically. I'll beat you out. Why
because now there's no more, there's nothing left. You can only become physical.
It shows they have been defeated completely. So a lost of Hannah.
Ala speaks about that, and then a loss of Hannah howat Alah says,
what a beautiful word, What a beautiful word. Listen to this word where
he disassociates himself from what they were doing. What if call bara him uni
abby welcomi in nanni bara tushiriku in laifa if in said laha, call him
at baki at a kil a la hum gero. And remember when he brought
him a Salam told his father and his people that I am Barah, I
am totally free. I disassociate myself completely from what you have engaged in.
As terms of association of partnership with the creator, the only one I worship
is the one who made me Illa levi fatara. The one who made me
is whom I worship. Fahimna husayah dien. He will guide me so alas
is jaalaha kalim matambakia and fiatid. And he left it as a word and
a statement that remained in his offspring forever, in the offspring of Ibrahim alai
is Salam. What was the statement. This was the statement lah in ah
in allah. That's the statement. There is none worthy of worship besides one
who made you. Finished Allah shudhanah at alah so alas says Ibrahim ali Salam.
When he uttered that statement, he made sure he taught it to his
offspring, and Alas says, we kept it for him in his progeny after
him amazing because of the sacrifices with us. As I said moments ago,
we become happy when we have engaged in salah, when we have done our
zaka, when we have done our fasting, when we have engaged in so
many deeds, when we have abstained from sin. And then we say,
but why is my life still a mess? These worthy mba the profits of
a las suphnah Hawatalah. They loved being tested by a las sub hannah howat
alah. So thereafter he left Haran. He went to Haran, and he
decided to go to the closer area of Sham. He went into Shaman.
After some time, there was a drought there, And when there was a
drought there, he decided, let me leave this place with my family.
So he instructed luth alaih is Salam to head to a certain area. And
that area luth alaihi is Salah to a Salam settled in a place known as
Sadum Sodom. We will get to that in Shallah. When we speak about
luth Alai Islam after Ibrahim Ali is Salam in a few days time, in
shallah, but luth Alai is Slam. Where andy Brahim alais Alam took his
wife and started walking in a certain direction, and he was heading for Egypt.
And when he got to Egypt, there was a king. The king
in Egypt was a tyrant. He had been ruling for many, many years.
And whenever there's a new comer, everybody knew that there's someone coming from
outside, a foreigner, a stranger from dialect, from language, from you
know, physical features. You can see that this man is not from here.
It's quite simple. Even here in Cape Town, or mind you,
Cape Town Marshallah is a rainbow city, so it's not so easy to tell.
But whenever you go somewhere, you can tell this man you know he
is from outside, and you know, if you really cannot tell, let
him open his mouth and you will tell Eachallah alasub Hannah Allah grant us a
deep understanding. So Ibrahim Araisalam, the the people who were close to the
king went to describe to him what this woman who came in with Ibraim alais
Salam. His wife Sarah made peace be upon them both, and they said,
oh, there's a beautiful woman who's walked in, and she is so
beautiful, and this is what you know. She's coming with a man,
and so on. Now they had a habit. What was the habit?
Whenever there was a man who was married to someone and they wanted her,
they killed him off. Done, kill him off and take her away.
It's over. So they said bring her. The king says, bring her.
So as they came to Ibrahim, who are you and what is happening?
He understood immediately that these people they have a bad intention. So the
hadith of Abu Hourera and Allah, there is a narration where the prophets a
llahle Selam says I Brahim ad is Salam. He had to use a certain
type of statement three times in his life, which although it is not a
clear cut lie, but the way it sounded it sounded like a lie.
Thrice. The first time was when he told him, look, come sick,
when he wanted to destroy the idols, and he says in Nissa tim,
I'm sick. What he meant is not I'm physically sick, alledo.
That's what they understood. He meant, I'm sick and tired of what you
people are doing, and I don't want to come. Secondly, Alas of
hannahwat Alah has made mention of how Ibrahim ali Salah to Salam when he destroyed
those idols, they told him who broke who destroyed these idols? He looked
at them and he says, belfa alahu kabha the first alum in can yeo.
I think it's the big one here that did it. Why don't you
ask him and he might tell you if he can talk. Now, this
was obviously something that was common sense. We can't call it a lie.
But for them it was a lie because they actually thought, yes, maybe
you know, and then they realized quickly they know this can't happen. So
that was the second one. The third one was now when the king sent
a message and they're asking who's this woman with you? He said it's my
sister. And they had separated the two. Why did he say my sister.
If he said it's my wife, they would have killed him and taken
her away. But now that he says my sister, it means there's a
problem there because now she probably has a family and what have you and so
on, and you know, not married, so we can still take her,
and we don't need to kill him. We can take her, we
don't need to kill him. So at least his life was saved. Life
saving mashama with us. Forget about life saving. We lie on a daily
basis, on a daily basis for nothing. Sometimes Laho akaba Allah, open
our doors and grant us understanding. A man comes in, They ask him
simply what happened. He says, hey, today I made fifty thousand rands.
Why do you want to lie? And you know in your pocket there's
nothing. You just want to seem like a big guy. That's all.
Laho akaba Allah, open our doors. I mean, these are just little
lies that people don't understand. Alas subhanah hawa Ala tells us with the lips
of rasulu las a la jaana, he was seldom in a raju la laekibu
hata yuktabang the law. He can the a person who lies will continue lying
until they are written in the books of a law that this man is a
liar. So let's abstain even from the little lies. Imagine, if I
am alai Salam, it wasn't a lie as such, but he had to
save his life and then listen to what happened. They had separated the two.
They asked him questions separately. Who's this woman? So he says,
she's my sister. Now they said okay, they left them, and as
they were now taking them, he quickly looked at her and he says,
say, look, this is what happened. They asked me who you are?
I said, you my sister. And remember make sure you also utter
the same statement. We don't want conflicting statements between us. Here. You
say something, I say something. There's a problem. So Macha la Allah
gave him the opportunity and the chance to quickly let her know. She understood
it, and he said, look, they're heading for you. They probably
planning something. Remember you have a maker, he will protect you. No
stone, No, I don't know nothing nothing. They were not worried,
not at all. I told you kalbun Salem heart, which was perfect.
He knew alas there. So what happened is they called her in, who
are you? This is what my name is, this is where I come
from? And who is that man? Well, he's my brother. Now,
Braham ade Islam had told her already. Look, I'm not lying.
You know you are my sister in Islam. We are the only two believers
here. We are the only two believers. You are my sister in Islam.
So haannah lah. Now we use the term sister in Islam wrongly.
Sometimes, you know, we ask a loss of Hannah howatala to open our
doors. Really, when it comes to the issue of intermingling, when it
comes to the issue of other items that are haram, not allowed by a
loss of hannahuatlah. You tell a man, look, brother, why are
you doing this? He says, well, look, she's my sister in
Islam. Fair enough, we are using it in the wrong way with the
Braham alai Islam. He used it correctly, he quickly explained to her.
She understood that this is is my husband. He's not lying, and at
the same time, this is what I need to say. So when they
asked her, she happily said he is my brother, meaning brother in Islam.
And at the same time the king decided right, he called the women
folk to adorn her, and he says, I'm marrying her and were taking
her and now it plays her in the bedroom and get her ready still alas
Hannah, how ala Granta's protection. She made a doa. She says,
over all, Lah, I have worshiped you and you alone, and Yallah,
I have kept myself pure and clean for my husband, completely pure.
Yallah, you protect me, unsafeguard me. And what happened. There are
three different narrations as to exactly what happened, but the conclusion is the same.
Let me mention all three because sometimes when you're reading the story, you
might read one of the three, and I will tell you which one is
the most correctly as well. The first they say that as he went to
touch her, when he got to the room and he went to touch her,
she made a doa and he was suddenly paralyzed by his hand. He
couldn't move further, so it was just him and her. So he says,
if you pray to your Lord to cure me, I'll release you.
So she prayed to Allah and said, yeah, Allah, cure him.
So as he was cured, he dropped his hand and he went for her
again, so he was stuck for the second time. Now she's worried because
she's a woman. She's all alone. I Sam is elsewhere. He's also
making dua most probably, and then when he was frozen for the second time,
paralyzed so to speak, he said the same statement for the second time.
You will make doua. You call out to your prop and if I'm
cured, I will release you. Imagine he knew that I can't call out
to my gods because my god odds. Firstly, he used to call himself
a god. And secondly, whatever they used to worship in terms of stones,
it's not going to help him at all. So he knew that that's
the god. You know, sometimes we have people of other faiths who come
to us as Muslims and they tell us, you know, bring us that
zamzam from Mecca. Why they have yaquin in their hearts. There's something about
it. Laho akaba. Well it's happened to me. And people will come
and say, look, we want the religious leaders from your religion to come.
Why they're trying the buttons. It's like a lottery. You know.
If we're not cured by hear, we're going to try there. You're not
cured by there, We're going to try there. Alasu hanahaat ala Safegardess.
This man knew that the reason why I am being paralyzed is for this.
The third time, the same thing happened. She made it duah for the
third time. And then he called the people and he said, you know
what, you've sent me a devil. She's not a human. Send her
away. So the third time, my beloved brothers and sisters. When people
plan to commit a sin, Allah creates a barrier through his mercy between them
and the sin. Sometimes a person wants to commit a dulty and he's looked
at the clock and he said, look, I'll meet you at ten.
For some reason, he has a puncture, he has an accident, he
has something that is Allah telling you, look, don't go not at all.
You should take a lesson, go back and say ya Allah, you've
saved me La hu akbar. People plan to go to the gig, to
the club, and suddenly they get news of something very bad that happened to
this one, a family member or someone. It means don't go there,
That's what it means. Malas of Hannah, howat Alah grant us a lesson,
and may Alas of Hannah, howat Alah, say, Goddess, what
is the need to plan a sun in the first place? What is the
need to plan a surn in the first place. We'd rather just be on
the right side, whether las of Hannah howat Alah at all times, and
maya loas of Hannah, howat Alah forgive our shortcomings, and maya loasu Hannah
howat Alah clear our slates. That is the one narration, and it is
reported that he decided to give her a girl who would go with her,
and he gave her a few items and said, you can carry on,
and I don't worry now, I'm not gonna touch you. I realized them
you can go, and she was gone. The second narration is that as
he was on the bed and he wanted to get closer to her, his
legs started shaking, and he realized, so he asked her to pray and
so on, so instead of the hand, it was the legs in another
narration. The third narration, which is the most correct according to what I
have seen, is that when he asked her or asked his people, he's
the women folk in that palace to prepare her. They all got together and
they started preparing her in the room and so on, and she was very
very sad, making du'a to Allah, Yeah Allah save me. Yeah,
Allah, I have protected myself. You have granted me this chastity, this
protection. To this day, I have protected myself purely for my husband.
Ya Allah. I have worshiped you alone, yah Lah, grant me protection
and savior. So as she was very sad, he walked in. He
was very happy, and he closed the door. When he looked at her
very sad because he wanted her so desperately, he also became a bit sad.
And when he became a little bit sad, he sat down and he's
looking at her, and he's offering her things, and she was adorned in
gold and silver and jewelry and what have you. But she was sad.
She had forgotten about everything that was not interesting. She was not interested in
it at all. And in the process, this man fell off to sleep.
And when he fell off to sleep, he'd seen in his dream.
He'd seen in his dream that this is what happened, and he was he
had to leave this woman untouched and release her back and let her go or
he would see his own destruction. So when he got up from his sleep,
he decided to give her a gift. And what was the gift.
The gift was a girl this girl, her name was Haja. The gift
was given to her and she was told you can go, and she went
back to Ibrahim ad Ah Salam and they lived as husband and wife in Egypt
for quite a long time. In Marcia Allah, they had lots of baraka
and blessings in their business. He had so much sheep, and he had
so much in terms of wealth, and he became quite a wealthy person until
they became jealous of him. They started becoming jealous of him, and so
he decided instead of waiting for these people, because jealousy leads you to plot
the downfall of someone. I don't want to fight with these people. Let
me now go away. Let me go back to a sham. I left
there because of the drought. I'm going to go. So he took all
whatever his belongings were and he went back to Jerusalem. He went back to
a sham and that is where he settled once again with his wife Sarah,
and he had this girl known as Hajar. Now, who was this girl.
Many people say she was a slave girl. She might have been their
slave girl. But there is a narration that says she was the daughter of
a nobleman. If not the king himself, and she was given as a
gift. So when a human being is given as a gift, they would
be considered slave in that time. But she had a very high lineage.
This is also what one of the narrations say, although it is not so
common. The most common narrations say that she was a slave girl. She
was a slave girl. However, I'd like to highlight to you that Muhammad
sala lah who ali he was seldom was from her lineage, and alas suhanahuwat
Alah says we chose the purest line from Adam straight to Muhammad salaalahu ali he
was Alam. They wouldn't be slave girls in the process. So it's important
for us to know that some of these narrations that do not appear in the
Quran or in the correct narrations of Rasulu las allallaho allah he was Alam.
At times we have to search for more narrations and to see until we get
to a narration where it is stated that she was not a slave girl,
but she was given as a gift from the noble families of Egypt. Mala
Subhanahuatlah grant us a deep understanding and in Challah. We will continue the story
tomorrow. Seeing that we are beaming live on many streams, over the internet,
on many radio stations and so on, I think it's important for us
in Charlah to stop here and to continue in Charloah tomorrow until we meet again
Osla La who is Selam Abarakal, and again Mohammad and Subhana Lah be Hamdi
