Speaker A
Today, O brothers, I want to make clear an idea. I want to now dig in and establish it because we are practical people. We are practical people; we want people to apply. We want Muslims who will actually implement. Therefore, today I want to focus on the idea and set it out,
00:40
Speaker A
and turn it into something that can be benefited from. Today, if a person is hungry and you brought him meat, vegetables, rice, and a roasted lamb, and so on and so forth, but you did not enable him to eat it, you did not

and turn it into something that can be benefited from. Today, if a person is hungry and you brought him meat, vegetables, rice, and a roasted lamb, and so on and so forth, but you did not enable him to eat it, you did not
01:16
Speaker A
who love the religion and want to adhere to it, then the surprise is that all of this which I have mentioned about the way of the Prophet (PBUH), all of these splendors, all of these details, this whole wonderful, amazing way of the Prophet
01:36
Speaker A
present it to him, did not bring him the plates, did not cook it for him, he will not benefit. Therefore, let's make the title of our gathering tonight, "The Way to Benefit from this Sunnah." Then suddenly, the surprise, O Muslim brothers in the east of the earth and its west,
02:04
Speaker A
who is great (PBUH), nor that he has a great ability for eloquence, for influencing, and for stirring people's emotions with him and people's love for him..
02:17
Speaker A
who love the religion and want to adhere to it, then the surprise is that all of this which I have mentioned about the way of the Prophet (PBUH), all of these splendors, all of these details, this whole wonderful, amazing way of the Prophet
02:23
Speaker A
I have a TV station, huh, I'll run it 24 hours and bring directors and cameramen, and bring people to talk, and people to act, and people to give sermons, and people to present news bulletins... But the device, the television in your house is broken, out of order. What have we benefited
02:43
Speaker A
(PBUH), it was possible that it would have produced no result and no effect, and become completely useless. In fact, it might lead to the disbelief of people if the recipient did not have the qualities of reception, the proper one. Meaning, the point is not only that the Messenger of Allah is a person
03:00
Speaker A
You'll say, "By Allah, so today all media channels have stopped." No, they are working, but it is you who does not receive and does not accept. The Quran said this in clear verses, but the problem is that we read these verses, and we cry and are moved,
03:18
Speaker A
who is great (PBUH), nor that he has a great ability for eloquence, for influencing, and for stirring people's emotions with him and people's love for him.
03:36
Speaker A
O this great, magnificent Prophet, capable of calling to faith, the pure, the chaste... It tells him that some of these disbelievers, " you see them looking at you, while they do not see." Yes, the Quran says this! It says, "And you see them looking at you, while they
04:00
Speaker A
It is the one who receives who's going to be important too. Why? Because Islam told us that...
04:22
Speaker A
while they do not hear." Goodness. So if "you see them looking at you while they do not see," and "be not like those who said, 'We hear,' while they do not hear," then their faculties are disabled. And Allah (SWT) says
04:37
Speaker A
I have a TV station, huh, I'll run it 24 hours and bring directors and cameramen, and bring people to talk, and people to act, and people to give sermons, and people to present news bulletins... But the device, the television in your house is broken, out of order. What have we benefited
05:00
Speaker A
understand, do not comprehend. So then, the fact that the Messenger (PBUH) has an influential appearance, yet they do not see; his words are influential, yet they do not hear; his logic is strong, yet they do not understand. So tell me, how are they supposed to understand? And Allah (SWT) says
05:18
Speaker A
now from the Nilesat and Arabsat satellites? What have we benefited from the channels? What have we benefited from the efforts of tens of thousands of workers in media if the device you receive on is broken and out of order? You turn it on and you find it dark and dim.
05:42
Speaker A
with which they do not hear." What is their use? What is the use of the ears, the eyes, and the hearts? He said: "Those are like cattle." They are beasts. No, no, no, the beasts are a degree higher than them. "Rather, they
05:55
Speaker A
You'll say, "By Allah, so today all media channels have stopped." No, they are working, but it is you who does not receive and does not accept. The Quran said this in clear verses, but the problem is that we read these verses, and we cry and are moved,
06:11
Speaker A
and a cry." You find a beast, you whistle to it like this, "Come here, the food has arrived." It does not know what you are saying, but it has memorized this gesture you make with your hand and this sound
06:22
Speaker A
and our hearts soften and yield, but in truth, we do not pay real attention to them in terms of comprehension and benefit. And so the Quran tells you—rather, it does not tell you, it tells the Prophet (PBUH). It says to him, meaning, "O Muhammad,
06:32
Speaker A
Therefore, these types, O brothers, O Muslims, of human beings are types that do not comprehend, do not hear, do not see.
06:42
Speaker A
O this great, magnificent Prophet, capable of calling to faith, the pure, the chaste... It tells him that some of these disbelievers, "you see them looking at you, while they do not see." Yes, the Quran says this! It says, "And you see them looking at you, while they
06:59
Speaker A
The Prophet (PBUH) says this. He says: "A Prophet will come ...the Prophet (PBUH) will come... a Prophet will come on the Day of Resurrection with only one man with him. And a Prophet will come on the Day of
07:10
Speaker A
do not see." And it says about hearing, which is supposed to be the path to understanding guidance, the hearing by which one receives what is with Allah (SWT), He says, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: "And be not like those who say, 'We hear,'
07:28
Speaker A
for a boat. A boat's load, a number of individuals, maybe they were nine, maybe thirteen, according to what has been said in the narrations. Good heavens! Nine hundred and fifty years! The fault is not in the prophethoods, but the fault is in the reception of this
07:45
Speaker A
while they do not hear." Goodness. So if "you see them looking at you while they do not see," and "be not like those who said, 'We hear,' while they do not hear," then their faculties are disabled. And Allah (SWT) says
08:00
Speaker A
before I say this, I tell you that, therefore, as an application to the Prophet (PBUH), the Messenger himself, (PBUH), his call led to people disbelieving in it His call is what led to people disbelieving.. Yes. And the Holy Quran said it.
08:21
Speaker A
about understanding, awareness, and comprehension—the conscious ability in a person—He says: "And among them are those who listen to you, but We have placed over their hearts coverings lest they should understand it..." The heart itself... and they said, "Our hearts are wrapped." Our hearts are in a covering, they do not hear, do not
08:45
Speaker A
nothing I hated more on the face of the whole earth. I hated you so much. Does anyone believe this? We today talk about Muhammad and the beauty of Muhammad (PBUH), and how people received him, and the person who could not resist the charm
09:02
Speaker A
understand, do not comprehend. So then, the fact that the Messenger (PBUH) has an influential appearance, yet they do not see; his words are influential, yet they do not hear; his logic is strong, yet they do not understand. So tell me, how are they supposed to understand? And Allah (SWT) says
09:16
Speaker A
say, "The most beautiful poetry is its most untruthful." When you lie in poetry, the poetry becomes very beautiful. Meaning, he tells you that a certain enchanting woman walked out on the street and people fell to the right and left, and some were driven to
09:33
Speaker A
in verses that gather this concept, Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, says: "And We have certainly created"—dhara'na means created—"We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and mankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand, and they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears
09:51
Speaker A
People then took this saying and applied it to our master Muhammad (PBUH) and said that as soon as a disbeliever among them saw Muhammad (PBUH), he would fall in love with him and fall to the ground. So our concepts have been changed as a community
10:06
Speaker A
with which they do not hear." What is their use? What is the use of the ears, the eyes, and the hearts? He said: "Those are like cattle." They are beasts. No, no, no, the beasts are a degree higher than them. "Rather, they
10:19
Speaker A
says to the Messenger (PBUH), "Then perhaps you will kill yourself if they do not become believers." You will destroy yourself, get sick and destroy yourself because they are not believers. "Then perhaps you would kill yourself over their footsteps, if they do not believe" in this message, out of sorrow, from
10:37
Speaker A
are more astray." He (SWT) says: "Those are like livestock; rather, they are more astray." More astray than the beast. And the Quran calls them by the names of beasts. It says, "Like the one who shouts to that which hears nothing but a call
10:49
Speaker A
believe you are a liar; they understand that you are truthful. "But it is the verses of Allah that the wrongdoers reject." The point is, O brothers, is that people saw Muhammad and said to him, "You are a liar."
11:03
Speaker A
and a cry." You find a beast, you whistle to it like this, "Come here, the food has arrived." It does not know what you are saying, but it has memorized this gesture you make with your hand and this sound
11:17
Speaker A
and "Only a human teaches him." And all this while looking at him with sarcasm, "What is this? What is this? Did Allah not find anyone other than you to send to us?" Wow, to this degree of belittlement? Is this not Muhammad (PBUH)
11:39
Speaker A
that you make and this vessel that you carry, so it comes to eat. "Shouting to that which hears nothing but a call and a cry," so it comes.
11:56
Speaker A
There was no one else, no one who was able to judge in it. And today you come and say, "Did Allah not find anyone other than you?" Did you yourselves not find anyone other than him? If you had found someone more distinguished to resort to,
12:09
Speaker A
Therefore, these types, O brothers, O Muslims, of human beings are types that do not comprehend, do not hear, do not see.
12:27
Speaker A
This, this, all the qualities that I mentioned to you before. Yet the disbelievers look at him like this and say, "Is this the one whom Allah has sent as a human messenger?" Is this him?
12:40
Speaker A
So what is the use of the Prophet's magnificence? That is why, in the heritage of our religion, there were prophets who called, and no one ever responded to them. And there were prophets who lived a long life among people, and only one man responded to him.
12:57
Speaker A
The hearts rusted, the ability to receive and accept is disabled. The television is broken, the radio is broken, there is no transmission, we don't know, the satellite dish cable is disconnected. So let them talk about satellites all they want, nothing
13:18
Speaker A
The Prophet (PBUH) says this. He says: "A Prophet will come... the Prophet (PBUH) will come... a Prophet will come on the Day of Resurrection with only one man with him. And a Prophet will come on the Day of
13:39
Speaker A
the Prophet (PBUH)... that's it, he is the Messenger (PBUH), he is the one who brought them the truth, and they say this is just "ears." What does "ears" mean? They say, "He is an ear." "And among them are men who hurt the Prophet (Muhammad SAW) and say: 'He is (lending his) ear (to every news).' " He just sits
13:56
Speaker A
Resurrection with only two men with him. And a Prophet will come on the Day of Resurrection with only a 'raht' (a small group)." In fact, even Noah (PBUH), who lived among his people for a thousand years less fifty years, calling them... all he obtained was a load
14:12
Speaker A
that you hear like the man who is the 'muballigh' (announcer) in the prayer. The Imam says, "Allah hears him who praises Him," and the announcer says, "Our Lord, and to You is the praise." That is an announcer.
14:26
Speaker A
for a boat. A boat's load, a number of individuals, maybe they were nine, maybe thirteen, according to what has been said in the narrations. Good heavens! Nine hundred and fifty years! The fault is not in the prophethoods, but the fault is in the reception of this
14:39
Speaker A
"He listens to what is best for you; he believes in Allah; has faith in the believers;" has faith in them in a way that takes them from the darkness of ignorance to the light of Islam. And among them also were those who said—so that you know, people—
14:54
Speaker A
call. That is why I have always told my brothers that the excellent model for you to understand this is the model of our master, or...
15:08
Speaker A
guide my people," and working by day, and presenting logic. We have started living like the storytellers of Abu Zayd al-Hilali and Zanati Khalifa, who sit in cafes and entertain people, and that's it. So they say, "And when it is said to them..." The Quran says, "And when it is said to them, 'Come,
15:26
Speaker A
before I say this, I tell you that, therefore, as an application to the Prophet (PBUH), the Messenger himself, (PBUH), his call led to people disbelieving in it. His call is what led to people disbelieving. Yes. And the Holy Quran said it.
15:44
Speaker A
by name. "Come, the Messenger of Allah will ask forgiveness for you." They "turned their heads aside, and you see them turning away while they are arrogant." He doesn't know where to put his face, sitting there twisting his neck. My God, isn't this
15:57
Speaker A
The Holy Quran mentioned that Muhammad (PBUH), this magnificent, great, beloved, pure, beautiful one who lowers his wing to the believers... people met him with... to the extent that one said to him, after he later converted to Islam, "By Allah, you were the most hated thing to me." There was
16:14
Speaker A
the best, and so on and so on... This does not mean that people will respond. Rather, there must be a method of reception.
16:22
Speaker A
nothing I hated more on the face of the whole earth. I hated you so much. Does anyone believe this? We today talk about Muhammad and the beauty of Muhammad (PBUH), and how people received him, and the person who could not resist the charm
16:43
Speaker A
and one of them said to his companion, "is it him?" He said, "Yes, it's him." He said to him, "So, what are we going to do?" He said, "His enmity as long as we live." Glory be to Allah! And that is why,
17:03
Speaker A
of his beauty... and may brother Essam from Faisal and the brothers forgive me, I want to bring you closer to an image. We today live by the poet of the rababa. The rababa poet, and I really like that they
17:25
Speaker A
and four times.. Each time he would turn away and be violent towards the Muslims, wanting to take up his weapon and kill, wanting to finish off Islam. It is the same Umar, and they are the same verses of
17:41
Speaker A
say, "The most beautiful poetry is its most untruthful." When you lie in poetry, the poetry becomes very beautiful. Meaning, he tells you that a certain enchanting woman walked out on the street and people fell to the right and left, and some were driven to
17:57
Speaker A
It was that he slapped his sister a hard slap on her face, and she fell to the ground with blood flowing from her face. And he saw his sister, the weak one. Our master Umar was very tall, large-bodied,
18:11
Speaker A
madness. And of course, that never happened. Just one woman left her house, went to cross the street to buy something or visit a neighbor or something, and suddenly "creation collapsed and swayed, and hearts were intoxicated..." (all of it exaggerated) So they say, "The most beautiful poetry is its most untruthful."
18:17
Speaker A
He was fair and reddish, tall, and his voice was booming... So when he struck his sister on her cheek and blood flowed from it, his tyranny was somewhat dissolved, meaning, it was undone. He saw her in this state, so the energy of tyranny left him when he saw her, and it was replaced
18:43
Speaker A
People then took this saying and applied it to our master Muhammad (PBUH).
19:03
Speaker A
he submitted. He submitted instantly due to his method of reception. And the amazing thing, my beloved brothers, is that the Quran says about this: "And among them are those who..." "And when a surah is revealed, some of them say, 'Which of you
19:21
Speaker A
has this increased in faith?'" So Allah (SWT) says that the same surah, "As for those who believed, it increased them in faith. But as for those in whose hearts is a disease"—a disease, their hearts are sick— the verse increased them...
19:38
Speaker A
Who is it that "it increased them"? What increased them? The verse of Allah! "it increased them in filth upon their filth, and they died while they were disbelievers." It increased them in filth. Does the Quran increase filth? Is there anyone in
19:53
Speaker A
the world who says that the Quran increases filth and impurity? Yes, because in their hearts is a disease. Because today, when a person is given honey to drink, and he says, "Wow, why is it so bitter?" This is because he is sick; his mouth has a disease. "The eye may deny
20:13
Speaker A
the eye may deny the light of the sun due to ophthalmia, and the mouth may deny the taste of honey due to a disease," or something of that sort. So the issue, then, is an issue of reception.
20:28
Speaker A
The serious thing about the matter, and I hope this is clear, is that everything I have mentioned is about the polytheists. The serious thing about the matter is the Muslims themselves. Aren't you a Muslim, and I am a Muslim? O Allah, Ameen, Lord of the worlds. Alright, what do you think
20:48
Speaker A
about the fact that Muslims themselves were exposed to trials and slips that could have taken them from Islam, leading them very far away, very far away, because of their method of receiving from the Messenger (PBUH)? And this is a danger for me and for you. For example,
21:14
Speaker A
the Prophet (PBUH) was among the Muslims, calling them, and telling them things. What do you think, that some of them, while listening to Muhammad (PBUH), the Prophet, rejected his words? They were headed for disaster because of this. And I,
21:35
Speaker A
by the way, am telling you this to make you afraid, O brothers, for yourselves, and to make myself afraid for myself.
21:41
Speaker A
We must be afraid. Our way of receiving the Sunnah is what brings us out of darkness into light, not just the words of Allah and the words of the Messenger (PBUH) while our way of receiving the Sunnah is corrupt. We must understand this very well.
21:59
Speaker A
Among the Muslims were people who saw the Sunnah and knew it, but decided that it was not enough or sufficient, and decided to go beyond it. Don't you know the incident where some people went to the Prophet's house (PBUH)? Not 'tawaf' as in circumambulation,
22:18
Speaker A
no, meaning they went to him and asked about his worship. And when they were told about it, how he worships Allah, it was as if they deemed it too little.
22:29
Speaker A
They considered it small and said, "No, this means that this Messenger is not enough, because his past sins and future ones have been forgiven, and he does not need to worship Allah.
22:41
Speaker A
But as for us, we will do something different. We will bring something new. We will innovate a way that we think will get us there.
22:49
Speaker A
I will do this," and the second said, "I will do that," and the third said, "I will do that." And the innovation started early. So what did the Prophet (PBUH) say to them? He told them... it reached the point where he said to them, "Whoever turns away from
23:03
Speaker A
my Sunnah is not of me." The one who does not listen to my words and respond and follow exactly as I say is not of me.
23:11
Speaker A
A man came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I want to fast a lot." He told him, "Alright, fast three days a month." He said, "No, I mean, better than that." "I am capable of more than this." He told him,
23:24
Speaker A
"Alright, Mondays and Thursdays." He said, "No, no, I am capable of better than that." He told him, "Alright, fast one day and do not fast the next day." He said, "No, I am capable of better than that." He told him, "No, there is nothing better than that." So he stopped him there.
23:35
Speaker A
... In fact, there was a righteous woman who rejected the words of the Prophet (PBUH). The Prophet (PBUH) had, before the prohibition of adoption, Zayd, whose name was Zayd ibn Muhammad, who is Zayd ibn Harithah. So when adoption was prohibited,
23:56
Speaker A
he became Zayd ibn Harithah. And Zayd's son was named Usama. So, by the old standards, before the prohibition of adoption, it would have been Usama ibn Zayd ibn Muhammad, meaning, as if he were the grandson of the Prophet ﷺ. So when he came
24:12
Speaker A
to get married, when the time came for him to marry, the Prophet (PBUH) chose for him a wife of high lineage, noble and from the great ladies of Quraysh.
24:22
Speaker A
Not old in age, she was a young girl, but in terms of lineage, ancestry, and status, she was of great standing.
24:31
Speaker A
And Zayd, who is Usama's father, the groom's father, was an owned slave, bought and sold, less than a servant, meaning something for money. "Give me two Zayds, Take Zayd. give me Bilal, take this..." Meaning, he was a commodity. So when he proposed, Zaynab refused. Zaynab bint
24:50
Speaker A
Jahsh refused. She said, "No, I will not marry someone who was a slave, ever." And the one telling her to do this was the Prophet (PBUH). She told him, "No, I will not do it." Perhaps she said it politely, maybe, but in the end,
25:05
Speaker A
it was a 'no.' So the Quran was revealed from above the seven heavens, as if the world had collapsed: No! "It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should have
25:17
Speaker A
any choice in their matter." But I am telling you how there were Muslims who were being difficult, so that you don't think... and like today, when you see Muslims, you turn on the TV or look at the press and find
25:32
Speaker A
people talking about the Prophet (PBUH) as if he were an author of a book, and we are discussing the book to see if it's good or bad. They do not look at him as a Prophet, they look at him as some blessing. Yes, blessed and peace be upon him,
25:47
Speaker A
but without commitment. This exists to this day. And they do not see him as having this status. A companion came... "What is your name, my dear?" "My name is Hazn." Hazn, wow. 'Al-Huzunah' means extreme difficulty. So difficult. Hazn means someone difficult,
26:08
Speaker A
terrible. It's like naming someone today, "What is your name, my dear?" "My name is Awful," "My name is Terrible," "My name is..." "What's your name?" "My name is Hazn (Rough/Sad)." He told him, "No, you are Sahl (Easy), Insha'Allah. We will call you Sahl." So look at the companion,
26:24
Speaker A
I am talking to you about a Muslim companion, but the companions, as I told you, before they moved from darkness to light, they took a long time. These incidents...
26:32
Speaker A
they were being cultivated, corrected, and adjusted. And here he is, a companion and a Muslim, and in front of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), he says to him, "I'm sorry, but I would not change a name my father
26:49
Speaker A
gave me." My brother, the Prophet is telling you.... No even if he tells me... he tells me any name, and I say no?
26:57
Speaker A
I won't change a name my father raised me with, my father named me... How can you say "my father"? So he refused. This companion says, after the light of faith shone in his heart and he was raised and taught, he says,
27:11
Speaker A
"By Allah, we continued to see the 'huzunah' (difficulty) in our descendants," meaning our children became difficult because we rejected the blessing of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)." I do not want to elaborate on this, O brothers, but I want
27:29
Speaker A
to tell you that Zaynab bint Jahsh refused, the one who refused to be called by a name his father did not give him refused... these are the Companions. Ubayy ibn Ka'b, the best reciter of the Quran. Ubayy ibn Ka'b, he is a companion, he is the best reciter
27:44
Speaker A
of the Quran in the Ummah, the best reciter among Muslims, the best reciter among the Companions. On one day, while he was hearing words from the Messenger (PBUH)—and this is in an authentic hadith— and if not for the lack of time, I would tell you in detail, but he heard
28:00
Speaker A
words from the Messenger (PBUH) and looked at the Messenger (PBUH) stunned and alarmed, and his chest was filled with doubt and suspicion, even though he was a Muslim companion hearing from the Messenger of Allah. So the Messenger (PBUH) wiped
28:25
Speaker A
his chest and prayed for him for certainty, and for the coolness of faith and certainty, and said to him, "May knowledge be a pleasure for you, O Abu al-Mundhir," May the knowledge be comfortable to you , O Abu al-Mundhir, and wiped his chest to remove this
28:45
Speaker A
doubt. But the point is that he was a companion. I will tell you, by the way, don't be impatient I will tell you how a person can receive revelation and benefit from it, Insha'Allah. And I will tell you how a person can benefit
29:01
Speaker A
from revelation in a way that moves him from darkness to light. But first I am putting it to you like a riddle. My Lord, what made Ubayy have such a stance? And besides Ubayy, besides Ubayy, there were companions... during the Isra and Mi'raj (Night Journey and Ascension),
29:20
Speaker A
weren't there people who were companions and Muslims and they apostatized? Yes, they apostatized. And it is as if the preachers and Muslims are embarrassed, shy, and ashamed to say such things. And this is what happens. Have you heard this
29:35
Speaker A
before? And those who have heard it, heard it once or something. We are ashamed to tell Muslims that there were people, Muslims and companions, who apostatized. No, I insist on conveying this and that people know it, so that you know Islam in
29:49
Speaker A
its reality. We treat Islam as if it were a song with which we want to influence people. We want to understand the religion because we are the ones who will carry it on our shoulders if we are truthful. This matter... isn't this
30:02
Speaker A
the hadith of the Prophet (PBUH)? "This matter cannot be upheld except by one who has encompassed it from all its sides." The one who understands it very well is the only one who can raise Islam. That is why
30:15
Speaker A
the Jews are striking at Islam, the Americans are striking at Islam, the Russians are striking at Islam... everywhere in the world is striking at Islam because the Muslims don't know how to carry it. They don't know how to carry the religion of our Lord (SWT).
30:27
Speaker A
But I want you to understand that during the Isra and Mi'raj, there were people who, until the day before, had been Muslims for ten or eleven years. They heard that the Messenger (PBUH) went from Makkah to Al-Quds, to Jerusalem, and then...
30:49
Speaker A
in colloquial terms, and I ask Allah the Great for forgiveness for this, but I want to bring you closer to what was in their minds...
30:56
Speaker A
and then he quickly went up to the seven heavens and went above them until he passed and reached the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary, and near it is the Throne, and near it is the Garden of Abode. He arrived, and then he came down again
31:06
Speaker A
and returned. So they disbelieved after their Islam. They disbelieved, they apostatized, O people. They apostatized. And there were those who did not apostatize but doubted. And among them was one who was called the "Master of the Wabar," a large
31:23
Speaker A
tribe. The Master of the Wabar doubted, finding it unbelievable. And some of them apostatized with his tribe. And we are ashamed to say this because we want an Islam where "whoever knew Muhammad would never belie him." No, my dear, understand the religion, because what I
31:40
Speaker A
am going to say today, Insha'Allah, if I have enough time, is a matter for you to know that we cannot benefit from the Sunnah or from Islam, nor can we emerge from darkness to light, nor from ignorance to Islam, unless we know the method. And the method has seven
31:56
Speaker A
points, which I will list exclusively: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, Insha'Allah. Seven points that must be present in every Muslim for him to emerge from the Age of Ignorance to Islam, and from darkness to light. But as a principle,
32:13
Speaker A
know this, that there were those who doubted, and there were those who were suspicious—meaning they felt doubt and suspicion—and there were those who apostatized. More than that, there was a Muslim companion who was harmed for the sake of Allah. He was beaten and tortured, and he was patient, and he was patient and steadfast
32:39
Speaker A
for so long. Then, because he loved his religion, he left his city, migrated, and left his wealth and his family, and left everything to preserve his Islam.
32:49
Speaker A
Wonderful, Masha'Allah. And he migrated to Abyssinia with whom? He migrated to Abyssinia with a group that included Ja'far, the cousin of the Prophet (PBUH), Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, and it included Umm Salamah, whom the Prophet (PBUH) later married,
33:07
Speaker A
and it included... and then he was patient and everything. And when he went there, what happened? He apostatized from Islam, left Islam completely. He apostatized, yes. And he died as an apostate. And he died believing that the Prophet (PBUH) was a liar. And his name was—
33:31
Speaker A
so you can differentiate between the noble companion, my master Abdullah ibn Jahsh, and his brother Ubaydullah ibn Jahsh. This Ubaydullah ibn Jahsh apostatized, and the Messenger (PBUH) married his wife after he died. He died because she was there... her husband apostatized and left
33:52
Speaker A
Islam and left her stranded while she was in torment or while she was, you know, a stranger and so on.
34:01
Speaker A
Oh my goodness. Well, we are not paying attention to this at all. What is this, brothers? All of these knew the Messenger. That's why I told you the phrase, "If they knew him, they would not have insulted him." I, from what I know, am
34:18
Speaker A
not convinced by it, because among them were those who knew him as they know their own sons. And I told you the story of Abu Jahl when he recognized the Prophet (PBUH) and decided on his enmity.
34:28
Speaker A
So what, then, is required? Alright, what is required is that the recipient possesses the qualities of proper reception. That you, sir, O respected one, O brother, possess within you the qualities with which to receive the revelation of Allah (SWT).
34:50
Speaker A
So what are these qualities?
