Biss mila rahmani Rahim in the name
of Allah, the most Gracious, the

00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:30,760
most merciful. Heard a lot low
heard. Part Excellence presents lessens from the

00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:47,079
stories of the Prophets by Mufti Ismail
even musa mank he brought him and his

00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:56,600

7
00:01:08,599 --> 00:01:12,719
praise is due to our loss of
Hannahua to Allah. Blessings and salutations upon

8
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:18,079
Muhammad salalah hu ali he is seldom
we ask a loss of hannahuata Alah to

9
00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:21,439
bless him and all his companions,
and to bless every single one of us,

10
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:25,040
and to accept from us the sacrifice
that we are making in this month

11
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:30,120
of Ramavan. Although compared to the
sacrifices of the prophets and the messengers,

12
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:34,439
it is absolutely nothing what we are
going through. But we still ask a

13
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,840
loss of hannahuat Alah to make us
strong and to accept it from us and

14
00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:42,719
to grant us every form of goodness. Beloved brothers and sisters. We are

15
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:49,599
in the midst of a very powerful
story of one of the most powerful messengers,

16
00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:56,519
the one who was granted the highest
status from all the prophets besides Muhammed

17
00:01:56,519 --> 00:02:01,799
salaalahu Ali, he was seller and
asulus A Selam makes mention of the fact

18
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:06,319
that when he went up in Maharaja, when he went up to the seventh

19
00:02:06,359 --> 00:02:10,960
heavens, he was taken up physically
by Alas suphanahwat Alah. Miraculously he met

20
00:02:12,039 --> 00:02:17,000
Ibrahim aleaihi Salah to a Salam in
the seventh heaven closest to Alas of hannahwat

21
00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:23,159
Alah. Now I'd like to share
with you something very very powerful. Alas

22
00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:30,120
suhannahawat Alah describes this young Ibrahim alaihi
Salah to a Salam as one with a

23
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:38,199
pure heart, a perfect heart,
the heart that had no spiritual defect at

24
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:44,000
all. Listen to what he says. After he makes mention of the story

25
00:02:44,039 --> 00:02:47,520
of Noah, May peace be upon
him. Alasu hanahawat Alah says, while

26
00:02:47,639 --> 00:03:06,439
in Amishiaiti iberonai Iam bahu Sali and
from the family of Noah, from his

27
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:13,240
offspring, there was one messenger known
as Ibrahim he met his rubber. He

28
00:03:13,479 --> 00:03:16,319
found his rubber, and he had
met his rubb. He came to his

29
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:23,439
rubber with a perfect heart. Look
at the word used kalbin Salim. And

30
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,199
this is why the same Ibrahim told
his father. He says, Oh,

31
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,400
my father, I am worried about
the day when all this wealth and all

32
00:03:31,479 --> 00:03:44,919
these children and everything will not help
you. Yao malaia faomlualaban in lahman at

33
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:53,520
a lahhabi qualb Sali on the day
of judgment, no amount of wealth will

34
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:59,400
help you. No amount of children
will be able to help you. Accept

35
00:03:59,759 --> 00:04:02,960
the only thing that will help you
is if you have come on that day

36
00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:10,000
with a calm heart, a perfect
heart, a clean heart, a heart

37
00:04:10,479 --> 00:04:15,000
that has not engaged in any form
of association of partnership with the Maker.

38
00:04:16,319 --> 00:04:21,759
And Ibrahim ale is Salam, from
a young age understood that I need to

39
00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:28,519
only worship my Maker, and I
will face a lot of trial as I

40
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,399
am getting closer and closer to my
Maker. So from a young age,

41
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,800
if we picture what was said yesterday
when he looked at the idols, when

42
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:41,920
everybody was gone, a child from
amongst us would probably feel scared if they

43
00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:46,720
were brought up believing that these stones
are gods, they would not feel the

44
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,240
power to be able to be alone
with them and then talk to them and

45
00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:55,839
then break them. Imagine what type
of a perfect heart this young child had.

46
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,959
He did not fear at all nothing
annala. That is Brahim alahisala to

47
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,040
asaalam. And he knew for a
fact that I have robbed. I have

48
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,800
a maker that is the only one
who can save me. And he also

49
00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:14,120
knew that as I am the closest
one to my maker, my life is

50
00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:16,279
not going to be rosy. My
life is not going to be full of

51
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:21,079
ease, because he knew from the
very beginning that life is only a test.

52
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,360
This is what I think we don't
understand. Many of us think.

53
00:05:25,399 --> 00:05:28,560
I am reading Salah, I am
making Doah, I am engaging in fasting,

54
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:30,600
I am reading Kuran, I am
trying my best, I am abstaining

55
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:33,959
from sin. Why is my life
not rosy? Why do I still have

56
00:05:34,079 --> 00:05:38,439
turbulence? Why do I have problems? Well, Ibrahim was one of the

57
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,199
highest and he had problem after problem, but he never looked at it as

58
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,079
a problem. He looked at it
as a beautiful test from Allah, a

59
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,279
challenge one after the other. A
test, an opportunity to gain even more

60
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,480
closeness to a loss of hanahwatta.
This is why the prophets Allahu anahima Selam

61
00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:59,639
says in Allah either aha Abdalah,
it is only when Allah loves a slave

62
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,839
he puts tests in his life.
And another narration says Eva mul ajiri Eva

63
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,680
mi liberty laugh. The greater the
tests, the greater the reward. The

64
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,199
bigger rewards are with those tests that
are far greater. Ibrahim ali Salam had

65
00:06:15,439 --> 00:06:17,600
some of the greatest tests. As
we said, he is in the bee

66
00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:21,800
who was so high after Muhammad salalah
Allah. He was Alam, which means

67
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,079
the day we study the life of
Muhammad salalaho Allah he was seldom we will

68
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:32,160
find even greater tests than that.
He didn't even have a father, which

69
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,160
means he was an orphan sol lah
Alai. He was slam bram alai Salam.

70
00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:40,439
His parents were there, but he
had to challenge his own parents.

71
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:44,040
So this is what is meant by
the tests of life. My beloved brothers

72
00:06:44,079 --> 00:06:47,199
and sisters, the closer you get
to Alla subranahuata Alah, the more tests

73
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,920
He's going to put in your life. So it is just the condition of

74
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,240
the heart that will determine whether you
are actually in the test of Allah or

75
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,560
whether it is punishment. Abanawat Alah
saf godess from punishment, and may he

76
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:03,800
grant us all hearts that will definitely
be full of peace and ease. I

77
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:10,199
mean yesterday we had ended where we
were making mention of the story of Nimroud,

78
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,839
when Ibrahim ad salahtua Salam destroyed the
idols, and he had placed that

79
00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:19,319
ax which he used. One narration
says on the ear or the bulk of

80
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:24,600
the historians, and the narrations make
mention of around the neck, around the

81
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:30,000
neck or the shoulder of this particular
idol. And thereafter the community faced him

82
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,720
and they decided to create a fire
for him, and they threw him in

83
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,519
it, and he came out of
it scot free. In fact, he

84
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,120
walked out of it as though he
had come out of some cool place.

85
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,600
And when the king heard of it, he decided to call him, and

86
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,759
this Nimroud was granted a lot of
power by alass of hanahou at Allah so

87
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:56,199
Allah makes mention of the story in
the Purana al Antara Ila jahibarraiim Ma Fiona

88
00:07:56,439 --> 00:08:03,639
be Atlah. Do you see the
one who decided to argue and debate with

89
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:11,120
Ibrahim regarding Ibrahim's rabba, regarding the
one whom Ibrahim was worshiping, just because

90
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,399
Allah had given him kingdom and Allah
gave him authority, which means if he

91
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,199
did not have that authority, he
wouldn't have called Ibrahim Ali his salam to

92
00:08:18,279 --> 00:08:24,279
debate with him. Mala Subhanahuatla make
us from those whom when Allah has given

93
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:28,600
us a little bit of the authority
on land, it humbles us down and

94
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:33,559
we become closer to the ground as
possible, and we return and surrender to

95
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:43,759
Allah. Suhanna howat Alah is calla
Eberrahim or rabihi Wayomi to hi Waomi.

96
00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:50,600
There were people who used to worship
this king. He used to call himself

97
00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:54,240
a god. As we heard yesterday, they not only worshiped idols, but

98
00:08:54,399 --> 00:09:00,840
they also started worshiping human beings.
So the king said, who is the

99
00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:05,720
one you worship, oh Ibrahim?
So Ibrahim says, I worship the one

100
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:15,039
who gives life and takes that life
he gives death. So this king thought

101
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,720
he's talking to a youngster who doesn't
have a mind or a brain good enough.

102
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,360
So he says, well, I
give life and I also cause death.

103
00:09:22,919 --> 00:09:26,080
And what did he do? The
historians make mention of the fact that

104
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,480
he brought in two prisoners who were
meant to die, which means who were

105
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:33,759
sentenced to death, and he said, look, I'm giving life. Free

106
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,879
him and he was free. And
look, I've given death. Killed that

107
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,440
one. He was killed. So
Ibraim my n Sonam looks and decides,

108
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:46,000
you know what, there's no point
in arguing with a fool. This man

109
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,440
doesn't understand what life we're talking about. That the whole gift of life,

110
00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:54,000
that we enjoy, the life as
we have from the beginning to the end,

111
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,279
the life when it started. All
that is what I'm meaning. But

112
00:09:56,639 --> 00:10:01,600
if I talk to this fool in
that way, he's not going to understand

113
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,279
it. So the best way is
to ignore that. Now, let me

114
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,840
attack him on another line, something
he will not be able to talk about.

115
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,639
He says, okay, Braim Alisalam
looks at him and says, okay,

116
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:26,960
callaiberra him for in Allah TV shensi
tim al Maib. Simple question.

117
00:10:28,039 --> 00:10:31,879
If Brian says, okay, I
worship the one Allah who causes the sun

118
00:10:33,039 --> 00:10:35,480
to rise from the east. I
want you to cause it to rise from

119
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:43,879
the west, then I will worship
you fabuh lavika. For he was defeated

120
00:10:43,039 --> 00:10:48,639
completely. He was a disbeliever.
He had no answer, no response.

121
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:54,080
Imagine a young man Chab telling a
king without fear. Why because he had

122
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,320
a kalbun Salem, he had a
clean heart, solid he knew nothing can

123
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:07,480
harm me. Size Allah lahu akbar
so alas is walaula kaum a volume.

124
00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:15,399
Allah will not guide those who are
oppressors. The lesson we have to learn

125
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:20,399
from that if we are oppressors.
Yes, the term rullm is used to

126
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:26,639
mean and to refer to shirik to
refer to association of partnership with Allah.

127
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:33,159
That is the greatest bull and this
is mentioned in the Puran in Shikalavulman.

128
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:41,639
Definitely, association of partnership with Allah
sohana Alah is the greatest flow of oppressure

129
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,840
greatest. So anyone who engages in
that, Alas says, we don't guide

130
00:11:45,919 --> 00:11:48,480
him. We throw him out because
he's not looking for guidance. You need

131
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,399
to cleanse yourself from that. First, come onto the path and seek the

132
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,639
guidance. Then allow will guide you. But over and above that the omu

133
00:11:56,919 --> 00:12:01,399
maulm. The the broader meaning of
the word oppression includes when we are oppressing

134
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,759
people, when we are doing something
wrong. Because the term uln is what

135
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,919
or shay if he reaid in Mahali
to put something where it does not belong.

136
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,559
So naturally, when a person is
going to steal, he is oppressing.

137
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:18,120
When a person is using vulgar language, or when a person is engaged

138
00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:22,360
in that which they are not meant
to be engaging in, they have engaged

139
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,679
in oppression. So when a person
is committing sin and they are not interested

140
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,080
in turning to Allah, how is
Allah going to guide them? This is

141
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:39,080
why Alla says wal ladina jahaduf ina
lahdia hum sumul na. It is those

142
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,600
who struggle and strive to come towards
us whom we shall open the doors of

143
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,279
guidance. For if you are struggling
and striving to go towards Allah, you

144
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:54,519
are making an effort. You are
spending your resources in trying to find a

145
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,879
law, in trying to get closer
to Allah. Sudhnahwat Alah. He will

146
00:12:56,919 --> 00:13:03,120
open the doors of guidance if you're
looking for that guidance. So now after

147
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,799
this, the king was silenced.
Ibrahim ali Salam left and he decides,

148
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,840
look, I need to disappear from
this area because they warned him. They

149
00:13:11,879 --> 00:13:15,360
said we are going to kill you. They said we are going to kill

150
00:13:15,399 --> 00:13:18,600
you. We are going to stone
you to death. And this was a

151
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:22,559
threat that they had made. He
decided physically, I don't want to fight.

152
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:28,279
The only person who's accepted my message
is lut alas is in the kuranfa

153
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:33,480
ah Man Alahulu. The one who
accepted his message was Luke. At some

154
00:13:33,639 --> 00:13:37,679
stage there was a female who accepted
his message, his own wife, Sarah

155
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:41,759
Alas of Hannah Howatala's peace be upon
the two of them. He took the

156
00:13:41,799 --> 00:13:45,039
two of them and decided, I
now need to go, and Alas of

157
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:50,159
Hanahuatlah showed him a place to go, and Alas of Hannah Howatalah decided to

158
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:56,559
send him further up north to the
Holy Lands. The land of Sham Sham

159
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,720
today is made up of a few
countries Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and

160
00:14:01,879 --> 00:14:07,000
Jordan. Those areas put together,
that entire region is called a sham.

161
00:14:07,639 --> 00:14:11,200
So he went and Mashallah. He
settled around close to what we know as

162
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,120
Jerusalem, today we ask alas of
Hannah howat Aalah to take us there in

163
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,759
Shallah, and we ask a loss
of Hannah howatala to liberate it for us.

164
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,879
And we ask a loss of Hannah
houwat Aalah to grant us victory and

165
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,919
to grant us peace and stability across
the globe. I mean, so as

166
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,799
Ibrahim ade salatwa Salam was going there, he stopped at a certain place called

167
00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:35,399
Haran. And Haran he thought,
let me stop here and I will call

168
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:41,440
these people towards Allah, because only
two people have accepted this message. And

169
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:45,159
he gave up his family. He
gave up his parents, he gave up

170
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,759
his community, He gave up absolutely
everything. Nothing harmed him. He walked

171
00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:54,240
out. Imagine he walked out without
fearing that anything is going to harm him,

172
00:14:54,279 --> 00:15:01,519
because he knows allies on my side. And he continued and then he

173
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,039
got to Haran, and he found
that there the situation was even worse,

174
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,720
was even worse. What were they
doing in Haran? They were worshiping the

175
00:15:09,799 --> 00:15:15,360
stars. He found people. They
did not worship stones and sticks. They

176
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:20,759
worshiped the stars. And the beauty
of it was that when they called out

177
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:26,639
to the stars they found results,
They got results. Where did these results

178
00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:28,840
come from? It is also a
test from a loss of hannahoatla. You

179
00:15:28,879 --> 00:15:33,080
find some people they decide to go
to the san goomas. I'm sure we

180
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,039
know about people whom when they're sick
or something happens, they go to a

181
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,600
witch doctor, a fortune teller.
When they go to that sangoma, they

182
00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:43,759
get cured. Hey, they excited, they happy they I got cured.

183
00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:46,360
They send other people there. That
does not make it right, not at

184
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,519
all. That is, in fact
a bigger test from a loss of anahuatlah,

185
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,399
a bigger test. Remember, what
is wrong is wrong, even if

186
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,879
you are achieving something good by it. When a person goes to steal,

187
00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:00,799
he gets a lot of money,
but that's wrong. So when a person

188
00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:04,960
goes to get his health back in
a way that is wrong. He might

189
00:16:06,039 --> 00:16:07,759
get his health back, but it's
still wrong. I hope we understand the

190
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,320
example. Alas of Hannah Howatala open
our doors. So it's a test from

191
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,320
Allah Alas of Hannah. Howatala tested
them in that way. And then if

192
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,159
I am Ad Salam decided, you
know, I need to speak to them

193
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,360
properly. Firstly, we're only three
these people are whole community, and I

194
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,360
am here. Let me start talking
to them in their language. So alas

195
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:33,039
of Hannah. Howatala says, as
he was sitting with them, philamjan Lura,

196
00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:41,120
Counkba, carlhaa be as the night
came and the darkness fell, he

197
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:45,600
saw a star and he said loudly, this is my rub. There is

198
00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:48,039
a chance, there is a possibility, this is my rub. They're all

199
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,759
looking at him, They're like sort
of happy, Hey, this is one

200
00:16:51,799 --> 00:16:56,960
of us. But he did not
consider it, nor was he ever considering

201
00:16:56,039 --> 00:17:00,919
it. He was albun Salim from
the beginning. He the pure heart from

202
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,079
the beginning. Some people, when
they read these verses of the Qur'an,

203
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,079
they translate them as though Ibrahim a
Salam had a doubt and he was looking

204
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,000
at the stars and thinking, should
I worship this? Should I worship that?

205
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:17,480
Norahim Ahula says, absolutely not.
What happened was in haran. Ibrahim

206
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:22,000
Alealam decided to use it as a
method of explaining to them step by step

207
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:27,400
to get to a loss of Hannah
Talah. So when that's planet that was

208
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:33,799
appears as a star, some narrations
say the planet Venus as it sets and

209
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,039
it stopped appearing. He looked to
me, he says, where's that star

210
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:44,960
that I was worshiping just now moments
ago? Phalam ala cal a la or

211
00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:52,000
him bonafini. When it's set,
he quickly said, I don't like those

212
00:17:52,079 --> 00:17:55,039
things that's set, because if they
set, what am I gonna do?

213
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,839
It's weak this now, if I've
got a problem right now, what do

214
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,359
I do? I've got to wait
for it to come back the following night

215
00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:03,160
in order to call out to it. So they were looking at him.

216
00:18:03,599 --> 00:18:08,039
They were slightly convincing themselves that yes, this man is speaking sense. And

217
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,920
now what happened? He said,
look, I found something bigger than that.

218
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:21,359
What was it? Phalamma, I'll
camarabasi wrong calam He saw the moon

219
00:18:21,519 --> 00:18:23,680
big and he says, okay,
this is much bigger than that one we

220
00:18:23,799 --> 00:18:26,480
had just now. I think this
might be a rab. This might be

221
00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:30,559
my rab. So they're looking they
happy. Also, yes, he's contemplating,

222
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:42,240
considering philam a phil alcohol a lah
ilam yadini arambi la uncunana mean a

223
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:53,599
look Calmia. When it's set,
he said, if my maker look at

224
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:59,119
how he's going back to the word
maker if my maker does not guide me,

225
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,119
my Lord does not guide me,
then I will be from amongst those

226
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,319
who are astray because I cannot worship
this. It is now gone. And

227
00:19:07,519 --> 00:19:12,599
suddenly at sunrise the sun appeared.
When the sun appeared, it was shining.

228
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:18,400
Now these people used to worship stars, not the sun. But look,

229
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,160
if Sam is showing them there's something
bigger than the stars, the moon.

230
00:19:22,519 --> 00:19:25,039
The moon also goes. There's something
bigger than the moon, the sun,

231
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:37,480
he says, Phalam Ma shaan sabaziv
call. He looked at the sun

232
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:40,400
and he says, okay, this
thing has now risen. It is the

233
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,880
biggest from all of those, I
think this must be the rob. It

234
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,039
is more deserving of being a rob
than those two things that just went by.

235
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,720
Phalam a flat. Now when it's
sets, what was left? There's

236
00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:56,359
nothing left now, the stars gone, the moon gone, the sun gone.

237
00:19:56,839 --> 00:20:00,680
When the sun sets. What if
you have a pro problem at night?

238
00:20:00,839 --> 00:20:03,160
Now, who do you call out
to? You gotta wait twelve hours

239
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,519
for that thing to come back up
before you can say, hey, I

240
00:20:06,599 --> 00:20:11,319
got a problem. So what did
he say? All? I call me

241
00:20:11,519 --> 00:20:32,279
in very tu shiku in jiangu waja
here Lin navivatarasammahanifa Wamamushinki. He said,

242
00:20:32,319 --> 00:20:38,000
oh, my people, I am
free. I disassociate myself completely from that

243
00:20:38,279 --> 00:20:45,000
which you are associating as partners with
the one who made the skies, the

244
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,119
earth, the stars, the moon, the sun, myself and yourself.

245
00:20:48,519 --> 00:20:53,880
Who ever made me, you,
and all these creatures in existence, whoever

246
00:20:55,039 --> 00:20:59,680
he is, I owe my entire
worship solely and only to him, and

247
00:20:59,799 --> 00:21:04,480
I will never ever associate a spec
of partnership with that maker of mine.

248
00:21:07,279 --> 00:21:12,599
Look at how powerful this man was. He was given the power. We're

249
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,880
going to come to that verse.
So immediately they started arguing with him.

250
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:26,480
Jan these people started debating with him, and there was a give and take

251
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,200
speech. They are saying things,
he is responding. They are saying things,

252
00:21:30,279 --> 00:21:38,960
He is responding. Then he said, call to her you if,

253
00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:48,319
oh godad, how can you debate
with me about my own maker, about

254
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,559
my creator, about Allah? And
he has guided me, He has given

255
00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:56,599
me guidance. I know that what
I am doing is definitely correct. I

256
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,640
do not have a speck of doubt. And this is why when we are

257
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:07,000
worshiping Allah and Allah alone without anything
together with a loss Subhannah, howat Alah.

258
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,920
We know we're on the right path. Nobody can shake us, not

259
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:15,559
at all. Once you've tasted that, you will never go back lahu akbar,

260
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,200
because you know your rab is with
you. This was the taste of

261
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,920
Ivrahim ah sala to a Salam.
When he tasted that I am worshiping Allah

262
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,400
alone, there was nothing more he
needed. He could argue, he could

263
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,880
debate, he could destroy those that
were called gods besides Allah. Today,

264
00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:33,680
if we are to walk into a
place and we find people worshipping stones and

265
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,480
sticks and so on and what have
you. And you know, if we

266
00:22:37,599 --> 00:22:41,079
had to purchase a house and in
it we found all these things, we

267
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,920
would rather call the previous owners and
say, look, take your things away.

268
00:22:44,279 --> 00:22:47,559
Some people might feel scared to dispose
of this and to destroy it.

269
00:22:47,839 --> 00:22:51,599
Why you just bought the house.
You can actually destroy it and fulfill the

270
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:56,160
Sunna of Muhammad salaalah Alam and the
son of a is Salam, and get

271
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:03,920
closer to Allah subhannahuata alah. Obviously, we are not calling to the destruction

272
00:23:03,079 --> 00:23:07,440
or for the destruction of what others
are worshiping at the moment. Leave it,

273
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,519
Let them do what they want,
because it's a free world out there.

274
00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:12,440
But we are saying, if you've
purchased a property and you find something

275
00:23:12,519 --> 00:23:15,319
in your own property, you can
destroy it. There's no problem, no

276
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,480
harm. Alas of anahwat Alah grant
us a deep understanding, and may he

277
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,640
use us to promote true peace on
the globe, and may he use us

278
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,519
really to serve his cause, and
may he use us to let the masses

279
00:23:27,599 --> 00:23:33,839
turn to Islam. So alasu hanahwat
Alah speaks about this debate, and after

280
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:41,359
that he says, while a afa
from my tushini Kunabi, I do not

281
00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:48,839
fear anything that you are associating as
partners with allah in llahah aram meha.

282
00:23:48,799 --> 00:23:53,440
They can do nothing to me unless
my own creator wills that something bad happened

283
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,000
to me, or anything happens to
me. They cannot harm me, they

284
00:23:56,039 --> 00:23:59,880
cannot benefit me. I don't fear
them at all. The only thing I

285
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,720
fear if a loss of Hannah howat
Ala. My maker wants something, it

286
00:24:03,799 --> 00:24:07,920
can happen. If he doesn't want
it, it won't happen. Then he

287
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:12,039
tells them he asks them a question, a powerful question. He says,

288
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:18,759
listen to how powerful the question is? Young man asking a question, okay

289
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:26,160
for a half man, I shrug
tom half and a shrug to bin him

290
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:44,720
Adam, you silviakanaumtalam. How can
I fear those things that you are associating

291
00:24:44,799 --> 00:24:48,480
as partners with Allah? When you
are not fearing the fact that you have

292
00:24:48,599 --> 00:24:53,559
associated partners with a loss of Hannah? Howat Alah, you're not fearing Allah

293
00:24:53,799 --> 00:24:57,000
and the fact that you've associated partners
with him, and you want me to

294
00:24:57,079 --> 00:25:00,720
fear those partners that you have taken
as partners with the Maker, with the

295
00:25:00,799 --> 00:25:06,359
creator, probably jalal. How So, he says, look out of us

296
00:25:06,519 --> 00:25:11,680
the two parties, who is more
deserving of peace and comfort and contentment and

297
00:25:11,839 --> 00:25:26,519
protection aladina a man jamil bisu ima
hu hullah in ka lahumu wahum. Those

298
00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:33,000
who have believed and they have not
contaminated their imaan with any association of partnership

299
00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:37,680
with Allah, they are more deserving
of comfort, contentment, protection, and

300
00:25:37,839 --> 00:25:42,039
they are the ones who are rightly
guided. And then alas is what ilka

301
00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:53,519
tunaina Ibrahim Kami. That was the
power of debate that we gave to Ibrahim

302
00:25:53,720 --> 00:26:00,000
over his people. Alass We gave
him the power of debating over his peace

303
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,720
people. It was the signing.
It was the evidence against his own people

304
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:10,319
that alas Subhanahwatala had given him.
What a powerful statement. Ibrahim alai is

305
00:26:10,319 --> 00:26:12,440
Salam. In the Quran. If
you turn the pages of the Qoran,

306
00:26:12,559 --> 00:26:17,920
you will see in a lot of
places he uses the word fathered farther meaning

307
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,720
creator. He says, ill Levi
Fataraani, the one who created me,

308
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,720
the one who created the skies,
father u Samawati, the one who made

309
00:26:25,799 --> 00:26:27,680
this, the one who made that. He always used to refer to the

310
00:26:27,759 --> 00:26:32,359
maker, because you cannot dispute that. So when we are calling people to

311
00:26:32,519 --> 00:26:37,599
Islam, we should always tell them
in Islam, we only worship our maker,

312
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,720
whoever made me. I call him
the worshiped one, and I put

313
00:26:40,799 --> 00:26:44,599
my head on the ground for him
alone and nobody else. This is called

314
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,079
the Millah of Ibrahim Alaih is sala
to a Salam, the path and the

315
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,200
teaching and the religion of Ibrahim alaih
is sala to a Salam. So after

316
00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:56,759
that they started threatening him to kill
him. Look at this once again,

317
00:26:56,079 --> 00:27:00,680
another person threatening to kill And look
at this man, and as he's now

318
00:27:00,759 --> 00:27:04,799
growing in age, and he's got
a perfect heart, It does not shake

319
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:10,039
him at all. He had a
problem in his own community. They threatened

320
00:27:10,079 --> 00:27:12,680
to kill him. He left.
Now he went to Haran. He's calling

321
00:27:12,759 --> 00:27:17,680
these people. He knocked them out
in debate. Look, this is the

322
00:27:17,799 --> 00:27:22,279
Nabe who debated the most. May
Allas peace be upon him. He debated

323
00:27:22,319 --> 00:27:25,680
with his parents, he debated with
his community, he debated with the king,

324
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,720
He debated with this one. He
debated with the people in Haran,

325
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:33,000
and each time he defeated them completely. This is the meaning of the term

326
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,400
hujah that Allah gave him the power
really alas of Anahoatala gave him that evidence

327
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:44,160
against his people, the ability to
not only to engage them in discussion,

328
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,519
but to overpower them in such a
way that they have no answer. So

329
00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:51,640
when a person has no answer,
what do they do. When you have

330
00:27:51,799 --> 00:27:55,599
overpowered someone and now they've got no
answer and they still don't want to surrender,

331
00:27:56,039 --> 00:27:59,880
they need to start threatening you physically. I'll beat you out. Why

332
00:28:00,079 --> 00:28:03,640
because now there's no more, there's
nothing left. You can only become physical.

333
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,359
It shows they have been defeated completely. So a lost of Hannah.

334
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,720
Ala speaks about that, and then
a loss of Hannah howat Alah says,

335
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:17,359
what a beautiful word, What a
beautiful word. Listen to this word where

336
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:22,759
he disassociates himself from what they were
doing. What if call bara him uni

337
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:42,079
abby welcomi in nanni bara tushiriku in
laifa if in said laha, call him

338
00:28:42,119 --> 00:28:52,319
at baki at a kil a la
hum gero. And remember when he brought

339
00:28:52,359 --> 00:28:57,039
him a Salam told his father and
his people that I am Barah, I

340
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:04,680
am totally free. I disassociate myself
completely from what you have engaged in.

341
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:11,759
As terms of association of partnership with
the creator, the only one I worship

342
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,759
is the one who made me Illa
levi fatara. The one who made me

343
00:29:15,119 --> 00:29:18,200
is whom I worship. Fahimna husayah
dien. He will guide me so alas

344
00:29:18,319 --> 00:29:26,160
is jaalaha kalim matambakia and fiatid.
And he left it as a word and

345
00:29:26,279 --> 00:29:32,480
a statement that remained in his offspring
forever, in the offspring of Ibrahim alai

346
00:29:32,519 --> 00:29:36,759
is Salam. What was the statement. This was the statement lah in ah

347
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:42,319
in allah. That's the statement.
There is none worthy of worship besides one

348
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:48,200
who made you. Finished Allah shudhanah
at alah so alas says Ibrahim ali Salam.

349
00:29:48,799 --> 00:29:52,000
When he uttered that statement, he
made sure he taught it to his

350
00:29:52,119 --> 00:29:56,160
offspring, and Alas says, we
kept it for him in his progeny after

351
00:29:56,279 --> 00:30:02,039
him amazing because of the sacrifices with
us. As I said moments ago,

352
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,599
we become happy when we have engaged
in salah, when we have done our

353
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,119
zaka, when we have done our
fasting, when we have engaged in so

354
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,319
many deeds, when we have abstained
from sin. And then we say,

355
00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:18,799
but why is my life still a
mess? These worthy mba the profits of

356
00:30:18,839 --> 00:30:22,279
a las suphnah Hawatalah. They loved
being tested by a las sub hannah howat

357
00:30:22,279 --> 00:30:26,400
alah. So thereafter he left Haran. He went to Haran, and he

358
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:33,200
decided to go to the closer area
of Sham. He went into Shaman.

359
00:30:33,279 --> 00:30:36,920
After some time, there was a
drought there, And when there was a

360
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,759
drought there, he decided, let
me leave this place with my family.

361
00:30:40,039 --> 00:30:44,519
So he instructed luth alaih is Salam
to head to a certain area. And

362
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,279
that area luth alaihi is Salah to
a Salam settled in a place known as

363
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:53,000
Sadum Sodom. We will get to
that in Shallah. When we speak about

364
00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:56,000
luth Alai Islam after Ibrahim Ali is
Salam in a few days time, in

365
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,359
shallah, but luth Alai is Slam. Where andy Brahim alais Alam took his

366
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,720
wife and started walking in a certain
direction, and he was heading for Egypt.

367
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,079
And when he got to Egypt,
there was a king. The king

368
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,240
in Egypt was a tyrant. He
had been ruling for many, many years.

369
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,599
And whenever there's a new comer,
everybody knew that there's someone coming from

370
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,200
outside, a foreigner, a stranger
from dialect, from language, from you

371
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,680
know, physical features. You can
see that this man is not from here.

372
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,079
It's quite simple. Even here in
Cape Town, or mind you,

373
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,640
Cape Town Marshallah is a rainbow city, so it's not so easy to tell.

374
00:31:30,759 --> 00:31:33,640
But whenever you go somewhere, you
can tell this man you know he

375
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,519
is from outside, and you know, if you really cannot tell, let

376
00:31:37,599 --> 00:31:41,839
him open his mouth and you will
tell Eachallah alasub Hannah Allah grant us a

377
00:31:41,839 --> 00:31:47,119
deep understanding. So Ibrahim Araisalam,
the the people who were close to the

378
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:52,720
king went to describe to him what
this woman who came in with Ibraim alais

379
00:31:52,759 --> 00:31:57,240
Salam. His wife Sarah made peace
be upon them both, and they said,

380
00:31:57,279 --> 00:32:00,799
oh, there's a beautiful woman who's
walked in, and she is so

381
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,519
beautiful, and this is what you
know. She's coming with a man,

382
00:32:02,599 --> 00:32:06,279
and so on. Now they had
a habit. What was the habit?

383
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,160
Whenever there was a man who was
married to someone and they wanted her,

384
00:32:09,519 --> 00:32:14,240
they killed him off. Done,
kill him off and take her away.

385
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:19,519
It's over. So they said bring
her. The king says, bring her.

386
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,359
So as they came to Ibrahim,
who are you and what is happening?

387
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:28,759
He understood immediately that these people they
have a bad intention. So the

388
00:32:28,839 --> 00:32:32,279
hadith of Abu Hourera and Allah,
there is a narration where the prophets a

389
00:32:32,359 --> 00:32:37,599
llahle Selam says I Brahim ad is
Salam. He had to use a certain

390
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:42,960
type of statement three times in his
life, which although it is not a

391
00:32:43,079 --> 00:32:47,079
clear cut lie, but the way
it sounded it sounded like a lie.

392
00:32:47,319 --> 00:32:52,480
Thrice. The first time was when
he told him, look, come sick,

393
00:32:53,359 --> 00:32:57,079
when he wanted to destroy the idols, and he says in Nissa tim,

394
00:32:57,119 --> 00:32:59,960
I'm sick. What he meant is
not I'm physically sick, alledo.

395
00:33:00,119 --> 00:33:01,799
That's what they understood. He meant, I'm sick and tired of what you

396
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:08,519
people are doing, and I don't
want to come. Secondly, Alas of

397
00:33:08,599 --> 00:33:15,480
hannahwat Alah has made mention of how
Ibrahim ali Salah to Salam when he destroyed

398
00:33:15,839 --> 00:33:22,279
those idols, they told him who
broke who destroyed these idols? He looked

399
00:33:22,319 --> 00:33:29,599
at them and he says, belfa
alahu kabha the first alum in can yeo.

400
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,759
I think it's the big one here
that did it. Why don't you

401
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,000
ask him and he might tell you
if he can talk. Now, this

402
00:33:38,279 --> 00:33:44,440
was obviously something that was common sense. We can't call it a lie.

403
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,400
But for them it was a lie
because they actually thought, yes, maybe

404
00:33:47,599 --> 00:33:52,079
you know, and then they realized
quickly they know this can't happen. So

405
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,119
that was the second one. The
third one was now when the king sent

406
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,880
a message and they're asking who's this
woman with you? He said it's my

407
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,880
sister. And they had separated the
two. Why did he say my sister.

408
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:05,880
If he said it's my wife,
they would have killed him and taken

409
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,840
her away. But now that he
says my sister, it means there's a

410
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:12,840
problem there because now she probably has
a family and what have you and so

411
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,679
on, and you know, not
married, so we can still take her,

412
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,320
and we don't need to kill him. We can take her, we

413
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:22,480
don't need to kill him. So
at least his life was saved. Life

414
00:34:22,519 --> 00:34:27,119
saving mashama with us. Forget about
life saving. We lie on a daily

415
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:31,760
basis, on a daily basis for
nothing. Sometimes Laho akaba Allah, open

416
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,760
our doors and grant us understanding.
A man comes in, They ask him

417
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,960
simply what happened. He says,
hey, today I made fifty thousand rands.

418
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,440
Why do you want to lie?
And you know in your pocket there's

419
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:45,679
nothing. You just want to seem
like a big guy. That's all.

420
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:51,000
Laho akaba Allah, open our doors. I mean, these are just little

421
00:34:51,079 --> 00:34:54,239
lies that people don't understand. Alas
subhanah hawa Ala tells us with the lips

422
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:58,920
of rasulu las a la jaana,
he was seldom in a raju la laekibu

423
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:04,679
hata yuktabang the law. He can
the a person who lies will continue lying

424
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,079
until they are written in the books
of a law that this man is a

425
00:35:07,159 --> 00:35:12,199
liar. So let's abstain even from
the little lies. Imagine, if I

426
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,719
am alai Salam, it wasn't a
lie as such, but he had to

427
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,960
save his life and then listen to
what happened. They had separated the two.

428
00:35:20,039 --> 00:35:23,320
They asked him questions separately. Who's
this woman? So he says,

429
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:29,400
she's my sister. Now they said
okay, they left them, and as

430
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,280
they were now taking them, he
quickly looked at her and he says,

431
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,440
say, look, this is what
happened. They asked me who you are?

432
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,960
I said, you my sister.
And remember make sure you also utter

433
00:35:37,039 --> 00:35:40,519
the same statement. We don't want
conflicting statements between us. Here. You

434
00:35:40,599 --> 00:35:44,480
say something, I say something.
There's a problem. So Macha la Allah

435
00:35:44,519 --> 00:35:47,039
gave him the opportunity and the chance
to quickly let her know. She understood

436
00:35:47,039 --> 00:35:51,639
it, and he said, look, they're heading for you. They probably

437
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,840
planning something. Remember you have a
maker, he will protect you. No

438
00:35:58,159 --> 00:36:00,079
stone, No, I don't know
nothing nothing. They were not worried,

439
00:36:00,199 --> 00:36:04,239
not at all. I told you
kalbun Salem heart, which was perfect.

440
00:36:04,519 --> 00:36:07,760
He knew alas there. So what
happened is they called her in, who

441
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:12,079
are you? This is what my
name is, this is where I come

442
00:36:12,159 --> 00:36:15,079
from? And who is that man? Well, he's my brother. Now,

443
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,000
Braham ade Islam had told her already. Look, I'm not lying.

444
00:36:17,599 --> 00:36:21,320
You know you are my sister in
Islam. We are the only two believers

445
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:28,159
here. We are the only two
believers. You are my sister in Islam.

446
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,639
So haannah lah. Now we use
the term sister in Islam wrongly.

447
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:37,639
Sometimes, you know, we ask
a loss of Hannah howatala to open our

448
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,159
doors. Really, when it comes
to the issue of intermingling, when it

449
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:45,840
comes to the issue of other items
that are haram, not allowed by a

450
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,639
loss of hannahuatlah. You tell a
man, look, brother, why are

451
00:36:47,679 --> 00:36:50,480
you doing this? He says,
well, look, she's my sister in

452
00:36:50,599 --> 00:36:54,440
Islam. Fair enough, we are
using it in the wrong way with the

453
00:36:54,519 --> 00:36:58,519
Braham alai Islam. He used it
correctly, he quickly explained to her.

454
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,360
She understood that this is is my
husband. He's not lying, and at

455
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,400
the same time, this is what
I need to say. So when they

456
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,360
asked her, she happily said he
is my brother, meaning brother in Islam.

457
00:37:09,079 --> 00:37:14,719
And at the same time the king
decided right, he called the women

458
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,519
folk to adorn her, and he
says, I'm marrying her and were taking

459
00:37:16,599 --> 00:37:22,199
her and now it plays her in
the bedroom and get her ready still alas

460
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:27,039
Hannah, how ala Granta's protection.
She made a doa. She says,

461
00:37:27,079 --> 00:37:30,920
over all, Lah, I have
worshiped you and you alone, and Yallah,

462
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:36,599
I have kept myself pure and clean
for my husband, completely pure.

463
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:42,480
Yallah, you protect me, unsafeguard
me. And what happened. There are

464
00:37:42,599 --> 00:37:46,159
three different narrations as to exactly what
happened, but the conclusion is the same.

465
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:50,679
Let me mention all three because sometimes
when you're reading the story, you

466
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,360
might read one of the three,
and I will tell you which one is

467
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:59,880
the most correctly as well. The
first they say that as he went to

468
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,239
touch her, when he got to
the room and he went to touch her,

469
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:09,800
she made a doa and he was
suddenly paralyzed by his hand. He

470
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:15,039
couldn't move further, so it was
just him and her. So he says,

471
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,840
if you pray to your Lord to
cure me, I'll release you.

472
00:38:22,039 --> 00:38:23,320
So she prayed to Allah and said, yeah, Allah, cure him.

473
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:28,320
So as he was cured, he
dropped his hand and he went for her

474
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:32,920
again, so he was stuck for
the second time. Now she's worried because

475
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:37,760
she's a woman. She's all alone. I Sam is elsewhere. He's also

476
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:43,400
making dua most probably, and then
when he was frozen for the second time,

477
00:38:43,559 --> 00:38:47,320
paralyzed so to speak, he said
the same statement for the second time.

478
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:52,119
You will make doua. You call
out to your prop and if I'm

479
00:38:52,199 --> 00:38:58,440
cured, I will release you.
Imagine he knew that I can't call out

480
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,800
to my gods because my god odds. Firstly, he used to call himself

481
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:05,639
a god. And secondly, whatever
they used to worship in terms of stones,

482
00:39:05,679 --> 00:39:07,360
it's not going to help him at
all. So he knew that that's

483
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,880
the god. You know, sometimes
we have people of other faiths who come

484
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,360
to us as Muslims and they tell
us, you know, bring us that

485
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,440
zamzam from Mecca. Why they have
yaquin in their hearts. There's something about

486
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:22,639
it. Laho akaba. Well it's
happened to me. And people will come

487
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,760
and say, look, we want
the religious leaders from your religion to come.

488
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,440
Why they're trying the buttons. It's
like a lottery. You know.

489
00:39:28,679 --> 00:39:30,719
If we're not cured by hear,
we're going to try there. You're not

490
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,159
cured by there, We're going to
try there. Alasu hanahaat ala Safegardess.

491
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,760
This man knew that the reason why
I am being paralyzed is for this.

492
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,480
The third time, the same thing
happened. She made it duah for the

493
00:39:42,599 --> 00:39:45,519
third time. And then he called
the people and he said, you know

494
00:39:45,599 --> 00:39:47,679
what, you've sent me a devil. She's not a human. Send her

495
00:39:47,679 --> 00:39:54,360
away. So the third time,
my beloved brothers and sisters. When people

496
00:39:54,599 --> 00:40:00,880
plan to commit a sin, Allah
creates a barrier through his mercy between them

497
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:06,280
and the sin. Sometimes a person
wants to commit a dulty and he's looked

498
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:07,119
at the clock and he said,
look, I'll meet you at ten.

499
00:40:07,519 --> 00:40:10,599
For some reason, he has a
puncture, he has an accident, he

500
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:15,320
has something that is Allah telling you, look, don't go not at all.

501
00:40:15,679 --> 00:40:16,880
You should take a lesson, go
back and say ya Allah, you've

502
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:22,119
saved me La hu akbar. People
plan to go to the gig, to

503
00:40:22,199 --> 00:40:25,000
the club, and suddenly they get
news of something very bad that happened to

504
00:40:25,079 --> 00:40:28,960
this one, a family member or
someone. It means don't go there,

505
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,119
That's what it means. Malas of
Hannah, howat Alah grant us a lesson,

506
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:35,039
and may Alas of Hannah, howat
Alah, say, Goddess, what

507
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,800
is the need to plan a sun
in the first place? What is the

508
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:42,239
need to plan a surn in the
first place. We'd rather just be on

509
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,159
the right side, whether las of
Hannah howat Alah at all times, and

510
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,760
maya loas of Hannah, howat Alah
forgive our shortcomings, and maya loasu Hannah

511
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:52,960
howat Alah clear our slates. That
is the one narration, and it is

512
00:40:53,039 --> 00:40:58,800
reported that he decided to give her
a girl who would go with her,

513
00:40:59,079 --> 00:41:00,320
and he gave her a few items
and said, you can carry on,

514
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,840
and I don't worry now, I'm
not gonna touch you. I realized them

515
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:07,480
you can go, and she was
gone. The second narration is that as

516
00:41:07,639 --> 00:41:13,920
he was on the bed and he
wanted to get closer to her, his

517
00:41:14,119 --> 00:41:19,480
legs started shaking, and he realized, so he asked her to pray and

518
00:41:19,599 --> 00:41:22,159
so on, so instead of the
hand, it was the legs in another

519
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,920
narration. The third narration, which
is the most correct according to what I

520
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:31,800
have seen, is that when he
asked her or asked his people, he's

521
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:36,719
the women folk in that palace to
prepare her. They all got together and

522
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,039
they started preparing her in the room
and so on, and she was very

523
00:41:39,159 --> 00:41:43,360
very sad, making du'a to Allah, Yeah Allah save me. Yeah,

524
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,960
Allah, I have protected myself.
You have granted me this chastity, this

525
00:41:46,079 --> 00:41:50,960
protection. To this day, I
have protected myself purely for my husband.

526
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,639
Ya Allah. I have worshiped you
alone, yah Lah, grant me protection

527
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:57,840
and savior. So as she was
very sad, he walked in. He

528
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,280
was very happy, and he closed
the door. When he looked at her

529
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:04,880
very sad because he wanted her so
desperately, he also became a bit sad.

530
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,239
And when he became a little bit
sad, he sat down and he's

531
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:12,280
looking at her, and he's offering
her things, and she was adorned in

532
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,880
gold and silver and jewelry and what
have you. But she was sad.

533
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,760
She had forgotten about everything that was
not interesting. She was not interested in

534
00:42:20,119 --> 00:42:23,119
it at all. And in the
process, this man fell off to sleep.

535
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,679
And when he fell off to sleep, he'd seen in his dream.

536
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,559
He'd seen in his dream that this
is what happened, and he was he

537
00:42:32,679 --> 00:42:37,840
had to leave this woman untouched and
release her back and let her go or

538
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:42,400
he would see his own destruction.
So when he got up from his sleep,

539
00:42:42,599 --> 00:42:45,440
he decided to give her a gift. And what was the gift.

540
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:50,280
The gift was a girl this girl, her name was Haja. The gift

541
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,639
was given to her and she was
told you can go, and she went

542
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:57,559
back to Ibrahim ad Ah Salam and
they lived as husband and wife in Egypt

543
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,599
for quite a long time. In
Marcia Allah, they had lots of baraka

544
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:06,000
and blessings in their business. He
had so much sheep, and he had

545
00:43:06,039 --> 00:43:09,079
so much in terms of wealth,
and he became quite a wealthy person until

546
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:14,960
they became jealous of him. They
started becoming jealous of him, and so

547
00:43:15,119 --> 00:43:19,440
he decided instead of waiting for these
people, because jealousy leads you to plot

548
00:43:19,519 --> 00:43:22,679
the downfall of someone. I don't
want to fight with these people. Let

549
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,440
me now go away. Let me
go back to a sham. I left

550
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,239
there because of the drought. I'm
going to go. So he took all

551
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,639
whatever his belongings were and he went
back to Jerusalem. He went back to

552
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:37,159
a sham and that is where he
settled once again with his wife Sarah,

553
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:43,639
and he had this girl known as
Hajar. Now, who was this girl.

554
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,679
Many people say she was a slave
girl. She might have been their

555
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:52,519
slave girl. But there is a
narration that says she was the daughter of

556
00:43:52,599 --> 00:43:58,519
a nobleman. If not the king
himself, and she was given as a

557
00:43:58,599 --> 00:44:02,119
gift. So when a human being
is given as a gift, they would

558
00:44:02,199 --> 00:44:07,960
be considered slave in that time.
But she had a very high lineage.

559
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,960
This is also what one of the
narrations say, although it is not so

560
00:44:13,159 --> 00:44:17,960
common. The most common narrations say
that she was a slave girl. She

561
00:44:19,119 --> 00:44:23,800
was a slave girl. However,
I'd like to highlight to you that Muhammad

562
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:30,400
sala lah who ali he was seldom
was from her lineage, and alas suhanahuwat

563
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:37,320
Alah says we chose the purest line
from Adam straight to Muhammad salaalahu ali he

564
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:42,719
was Alam. They wouldn't be slave
girls in the process. So it's important

565
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,800
for us to know that some of
these narrations that do not appear in the

566
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:51,000
Quran or in the correct narrations of
Rasulu las allallaho allah he was Alam.

567
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,800
At times we have to search for
more narrations and to see until we get

568
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:59,000
to a narration where it is stated
that she was not a slave girl,

569
00:44:59,119 --> 00:45:02,920
but she was given as a gift
from the noble families of Egypt. Mala

570
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,559
Subhanahuatlah grant us a deep understanding and
in Challah. We will continue the story

571
00:45:07,639 --> 00:45:12,800
tomorrow. Seeing that we are beaming
live on many streams, over the internet,

572
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,199
on many radio stations and so on, I think it's important for us

573
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:20,519
in Charlah to stop here and to
continue in Charloah tomorrow until we meet again

574
00:45:20,639 --> 00:45:23,159
Osla La who is Selam Abarakal,
and again Mohammad and Subhana Lah be Hamdi

575
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:28,840
Subhanaklahoma anta'st of Hu Kawana Turbo Lake
