Venue King Williams Town Summary Main Topic
The life, virtues, elevated status, and incredible sacrifices of Sayyidina Uthman ibn Affan (Radiallahu Anhu) and his marriage to the daughters of the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam.
Key Lessons
Sayyidina Uthman (RA) was blessed with an inherently noble and pure nature even prior to Islam, avoiding idol worship, drinking, and societal evils.
True faith overcomes worldly tribal loyalties and family pressure; Sayyidina Uthman (RA) remained steadfast despite intense persecution from his own Umayyad family.
Sayyidina Uthman (RA) and Sayyidatina Ruqayyah (RA) formed the very first married couple in Islamic history to perform Hijrah together for the sake of Allah Ta'ala.
The title Zun-Noorayn (Possessor of Two Lights) was bestowed upon Sayyidina Uthman (RA) for marrying two daughters of the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam (Sayyidatina Ruqayyah RA and Sayyidatina Umm Kulthum RA).
Sayyidina Uthman (RA) was characterized by extreme modesty (Haya ), such that Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam mentioned that even the angels feel bashfulness before him.
His immense financial generosity earned him glad tidings of Jannah on multiple occasions, including purchasing land to expand Masjid an-Nabawi, buying the Well of Rumah (Bi'r Rumah ) as a perpetual endowment (Waqf ) for Muslims, and single-handedly equipping one-third of the army for the Expedition of Tabuk.

0:04 Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. 0:09 Nahmaduhu wa nusalli ala rasoolihil kareem. 0:11 Amma baad. 0:13 Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. 0:15 Ya Rabbi salli wa sallim da'iman abadah ala habibika khairil khalki kullihimi. 0:23 Alhamdulillah. 0:24 With the fazal karam and ihsan of Allah Ta'ala. 0:28 Allah Ta'ala has allowed for us to gather here. 0:32 And to make some mudhakara of some aspect of this beautiful deen that Allah Ta'ala has blessed us with. 0:40 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reward all of you for attending, taking out your time, making the effort. 0:48 Allah Ta'ala reward you. 0:50 Allah Ta'ala reward Dr. Saab and his family for allowing us the use of their home. 0:56 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give us tawfiq to speak and listen to that which will be a means of our hidayat, a means of us appreciating our deen, appreciating the efforts of Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam 1:14 The Sahaba radiallahu ta'ala anhum. 1:17 And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make this a means of our najat, a means of our salvation. 1:25 And above all, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala must accept it and be pleased with us. 1:30 Allah ta'ala bless us with ikhlas. 1:34 The topic that we are going to discuss is a few aspects from the glorious life 1:45 Of Sayyidina Uthman r.a. Who as you all know is the third Khalifa of Islam. 1:54 And we will also discuss two of his honorable wives who were the daughters of our beloved Nabi al-Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 2:09 So with regards to Hazrat Uthman r.a. 2:13 Hazrat Uthman r.a was plus minus about six or seven years younger than Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 2:25 His lineage and the lineage of Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam 2:32 Meet up five generations up. 2:36 So if we look at the ancestry, we look at the grandfather, great-grandfather, and you go up. 2:42 So five generations up, the lineage of Uthman radiallahu ta'ala and the lineage of Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam meets. 2:52 However, over and above that, as you all know, he was the son-in-law of Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 3:01 And even prior to this, there was a very close family tie. 3:07 The close family tie was that Uthman radiallahu ta'ala and whose granny was the khala of Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 3:21 So Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam's father and Uthman radiallahu ta'ala and whose granny were brother and sister. 3:30 Hazrat Uthman radiallahu ta'ala, even before Nabi Akkareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam announced his nubuwat and Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam started preaching Islam and teaching what is right and wrong, what is halal, what is haram, what is jais, what is not jais. 3:49 Even before that, there were certain people amongst the Arabs who lived a very pure life. 3:57 And Uthman r.a was one of them. 4:01 Even before Islam, he never got involved in drinking, he never got involved in gambling, he never took part in idol worship, he never took part in all the fighting, etc. 4:14 that used to take place. 4:16 So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala had blessed him with a very good temperament, a very good nature from even before he accepted Islam. 4:27 And another person like this was Sayyidina Abu Bakr. 4:33 So if we check, we look up in history, we find that Sayyidina Abu Bakr and Uthman, they shared a very close relationship. 4:46 They shared a close relationship even before Islam because they had common values. 4:52 They had common values. 4:54 Abu Bakr radiallahu ta'ala also, even before he accepted Islam, but he never got involved in idol worship. 5:01 He never got involved in all the evil, etc. 5:04 that was taking place in the days of Jahiliyyah, in the days of ignorance, prior to Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam announcing his prophethood. 5:14 So we all know that the first person to accept Islam, when Nabi ﷺ came with the message of Islam, the first person was none other than Ma Khadija r.a. 5:28 Many a time, the West, the Orientalists, the enemies of Islam, they try to portray a picture that Islam undermines women. 5:39 Islam doesn't give women proper rights. 5:43 Islam doesn't respect and honor women. 5:46 This is very, very far from the truth. 5:49 If anybody honors women, if in any religion women are honored, it is in the religion of Islam. 5:56 Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam came and gave rights to women. 6:01 At that time, 6:03 When the Kuffar, when the Christians and other religions that were prevalent at the time, they were still doing research to check whether women are also part of the human race. 6:17 That is how much they looked down on women. 6:21 They were doing research to check whether women can be regarded as human beings. 6:27 But Nabi al-Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam came with Deen-e-Islam and in the Quran Sharif, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave so much of honour to women that Allah ta'ala even named one surah. 6:41 Surah al-Nisa. 6:43 That this surah was named in honour of women folk. 6:50 So, Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam gave lot of honor to women and Allah Ta'ala made it that the first person to accept Islam was none other than Ma Khadija radiallahu ta'ala anha. 7:04 Whoever accepts Islam even today, she will be getting the sawab because she was the first person who did it. 7:12 So Ma Khadijah accepted Islam first. 7:16 Then the first man to accept Islam was Sayyidina Abu Bakr. 7:22 Abu Bakr, after accepting Islam, he didn't keep Islam to himself. 7:29 He went around to his friends, those people whom he knew, etc. 7:33 And he started giving them da'wat. 7:36 He started inviting them to Islam. 7:40 During this time, he also went to Usman radiyaAllahu ta'alaan. 7:44 Because they were good friends. 7:45 So he went to Usman radiyaAllahu ta'alaan. 7:48 And he invited him also to Islam. 7:51 While he was inviting him, while he was calling him to Islam, Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam happened to go past at that time. 8:01 So he stopped there. 8:03 And he realized that Abu Bakr radiyaAllahu ta'alaan was giving Usman radiyaAllahu ta'alaan daawat to Islam. 8:10 And Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam then encouraged Uthman radiallahu ta'ala and said, O Uthman, why don't you accept this religion? 8:17 Why don't you accept the truth that Allah Ta'ala has sent me with? 8:22 And on the encouragement of Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam, Uthman radiallahu ta'ala recited the shahadat and he became a Muslim. 8:30 He accepted Islam. 8:32 Now this accepting Islam by Uthman radiallahu ta'ala and 8:38 Was a very very significant thing. 8:41 The reason being. 8:43 Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 8:46 Came from the Quraish tribe. 8:50 Usman radiallahu ta'ala also belonged to the Quraish tribe. 8:55 Now to understand when we say tribe. 8:57 Right. 8:58 Just to understand in an. 9:01 Like for example you look at South Africa. 9:04 So you say no these people are Zulus. 9:07 These people are Khawazas. 9:09 These people are Sothos. 9:11 Amongst the Indians you say these people are Gujarati. 9:14 These people are Memon. 9:16 These people we have all our. 9:18 So those are like tribes. 9:20 So a tribe is something that is very big. 9:23 But in the tribe you get different families. 9:27 So, for example, in a Zulu tribe, now you'll get Jlamini, the surname Jlamini, right? 9:35 That will be now one family. 9:37 You'll get some other surname that will be another family. 9:41 So like that, amongst the Quraysh, there were different families. 9:46 Nabi-e-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam belonged to the Banu Hashim family. 9:50 And the Banu Hashim family was the most honored and powerful family in the Quraysh. 9:58 Hazrat Uthman radiallahu ta'ala, he came from the Umayyad family. 10:03 The Umayyad family was the second most powerful family amongst the Quraysh. 10:08 Now because these two families had so much of power, they were always competing with one another. 10:15 Each one is competing to outdo the other. 10:19 So when Nabiya Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam came with the message of Islam, the Umayyad family, they refused to accept this message. 10:28 Because if they accept this message, they will never be able to compete with the Banu Hashim. 10:34 Because the Banu Hashim will be gone too high now. 10:38 Because they have got a Nabi from their family. 10:42 So how we gonna compete with the Banu Hashim? 10:45 And amongst the Quraysh, this family pride was a very very big thing. 10:53 And Nabi Akarim sallallahu alayhi wasallam, he came and he abolished this. 10:58 He said there is no Arab who is more superior than a non-Arab. 11:03 There is no white-skinned person who is more superior than a dark-skinned person. 11:08 He removed all this family pride. 11:13 It's unfortunate that sometime with the passage of time, even we as Muslims, we forget all these great, great lessons that Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam left for us. 11:24 So Uthman radiallahu ta'ala, his heart was pure. 11:28 He didn't worry about this family pride. 11:31 He looked at what was Haqq. 11:33 What was the right thing to do. 11:35 And when he heard about Deen-e-Islam, his pure heart, his clean heart, 11:41 Accepted it. 11:43 It was receptive to the da'wat of Abu Bakr r.a. and the encouragement of Nabi Karim s.a.w. 11:51 and he accepted Islam. 11:53 So he was one of the first chiefs from the Umayyad family who accepted Islam. 12:00 But this was not an easy road for him. 12:04 Uthman r.a. being from the Umayyad family 12:08 Nobody else could interfere with him because he was from a very powerful family. 12:14 So nobody could trouble him, nobody could interfere with him. 12:17 But when he accepted Islam, his own family, they turned against him. 12:25 His own family turned against him. 12:28 And this habit of people, we find it present even in today's zamanah. 12:35 That sometime you will get a young person in the family that decides to turn towards Deen. 12:42 The whole family turns against that person. 12:44 Sometime there is a wedding in the family for example. 12:47 And things are going overboard now. 12:50 So much of wastage and so much of wrong wrong customs are being brought in. 12:57 Western culture is being brought in. 12:59 Hindu culture is being brought in. 13:02 So many cultures are brought in. 13:04 And then you got one young couple there. 13:06 Maybe they went in Jamaat and they came. 13:08 Or maybe it's a young anim in the family. 13:11 Or somebody who got some taluk with some sheikh or something. 13:14 And now if that person has to speak and say, but you know what, you know, we shouldn't be doing this. 13:19 This is not right. 13:20 That is not right. 13:22 How much of backlash that person will get from the rest of the family members. 13:27 Sometime even the elderly family members will shout. 13:31 That where you came from now? 13:32 What are you talking? 13:36 You must worry about the mocha. 13:38 You will break your auntie's heart. 13:40 You will break your sister's heart. 13:42 We worry about everybody's heart. 13:44 But we don't worry about the law of Allah Ta'ala and the sunnah of Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 13:51 So the family of Usman radiallahu ta'ala when he turned to deen they turned against him. 13:58 Just like how the family of Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam when he turned to deen they too they turned against him. 14:04 So Usman radiallahu ta'ala was being tortured by his own uncles. 14:10 Close, close people. 14:11 They were torturing him. 14:12 They were hitting him because he accepted Islam. 14:16 But Usman radiallahu ta'ala he stood firm. 14:19 That you all can do what you all want to do. 14:22 But I am not going to leave this deen that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala blessed me with. 14:27 We too, we must take lesson. 14:29 See even in our era. 14:31 See what is happening in Syria. 14:32 What is happening in other places. 14:34 But those people are not leaving deen. 14:37 They're not leaving deen no matter what's happening. 14:40 But they're holding steadfast onto their deen. 14:43 So we too, we don't have those type of tests and trials. 14:48 The only test we have is to fight our nafs and fight shaitan and stay away from guna, remain on the sunnat. 14:55 So we must remain steadfast like how Usman radiallahu ta'ala remains steadfast. 15:02 Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam had an uncle. 15:05 All of you must be knowing his name because his name comes in the Quran Sharif. 15:09 Abu Lahab. 15:11 Allah Ta'ala curses him in the Quran Sharif. 15:14 Tabbat Yada. 15:15 Abi Lahabiyu wa tab. 15:17 So this Abu Lahab, he was the uncle of Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam and he loved Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam a lot. 15:24 But when Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam came with the message of Islam, then he cursed Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 15:32 Nabi ﷺ didn't curse him back. 15:34 But Allah Ta'ala cursed him back. 15:37 Allah Ta'ala answered on behalf of Nabi ﷺ. 15:41 And Allah Ta'ala cursed him. 15:43 And the curses that are on him and his wife, they appear in the Quran Sharif. 15:49 Because both of them, they used to trouble Nabi ﷺ. 15:52 So when Allah Ta'ala revealed the Surah Lahab, and Abu Lahab was cursed, 15:58 Abu Lahab got very angry. 16:00 He got very very angry. 16:02 Now prior to that. 16:04 Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam's middle two daughters. 16:09 You see one was Hazrat Zainab radiallahu ta'ala. 16:11 She was the eldest daughter. 16:13 She was already married. 16:15 Then was Hazrat Ruqayya radiallahu ta'ala. 16:18 And Umm Kulthum radiallahu ta'ala. 16:20 And fourth place was Fatima radiallahu ta'ala. 16:24 Sayyidatul Nisai Ahlul Jannah. 16:28 So, Ruqayya radiallahu ta'ala anha and Umm Kulthum radiallahu ta'ala anha, before Nabi Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam announced his prophethood, he had given them in marriage to the two sons of Abu Lahab. 16:43 Uthbah and Utaibah. 16:46 When this surah was revealed, now the marriage had taken place, but ruksati never take place as yet. 16:53 They didn't go to start living with their husbands. 16:56 Only the nikah was made. 16:58 But they didn't go to start living with their husbands. 17:02 When this surah was revealed, Abu Lahab called his sons. 17:09 And he said, see, I instruct you all to divorce the daughters of Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 17:16 And if you don't divorce them, then I disown you. 17:20 You are no more my sons. 17:23 So these two sons, they divorced the daughters of Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 17:30 Mothers, sisters, how many times in our own families divorce and all that takes place. 17:41 Imagine these daughters of Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam 17:46 Absolutely no fault of theirs. 17:50 Absolutely no fault. 17:51 They didn't do anything wrong. 17:54 Just because Allah Ta'ala chose their father to be the Nabi of Allah Ta'ala, they are now divorced. 18:02 And they were young, both of them very young, in their teens, and now they are divorced. 18:12 So when they got divorced, this Utbah, he just came to Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam and he divorced Hazrat Ruqayya radiallahu ta'ala. 18:21 But Utaibah, he came to Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam, he divorced Umm Kulthum radiallahu ta'ala and on top of that he insulted Nabi Akanim sallallahu alayhi wasallam also. 18:33 So Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam made one bad dua on him. 18:37 Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, May Allah ta'ala 18:41 Unleash one of his dogs on you. 18:47 So this Utaiba, many years later, he was travelling with his father in the desert. 18:53 They were travelling in the caravan. 18:57 And while they were travelling, they see that there is one predator, you know, whether it was a lion or what type of predator. 19:04 But this predator was, every now and again, it's following them. 19:09 So Abu Lahab remembered the curse of Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 19:12 So he got very worried for his son Utaiba. 19:15 So in the night when they needed to camp, he told all the people of the caravan, he said, see, I want you all to take all your goods and make a heap, like a little hill, you know, and we will put my son on top of this hill. 19:32 On top of all the goods. 19:34 And all of us, we will sleep around on the floor. 19:37 So if this lion has to come to attack my son, we can defend him. 19:41 We can stop this lion. 19:45 But at night when they went to rest, this lion came. 19:49 It never touched anybody else. 19:52 It came direct, leaped to the top of that hill and it killed that son of Abu Lahab, Utaibah. 20:00 So that was the curse that Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam put on that Uteba. 20:07 So khair. 20:08 Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 20:12 Got his daughter Hazrat Ruqayya radiallahu ta'ala married to Sayyidina Usman radiallahu ta'ala. 20:20 Now Usman radiallahu ta'ala as I said to you at that time, he was like in his thirties already. 20:26 And the daughter Hazrat Ruqayya radiallahu ta'ala, she was very young. 20:30 Very young. 20:31 She must have been about fourteen, fifteen years of age. 20:34 But in that zamana, the girls used to get married also very young. 20:38 They used to, it was a common thing for the girls to get married at a young age. 20:44 So Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam got her married. 20:46 It was at Usman radiallahu ta'ala. 20:49 Now, when she got married to Usman radiallahu ta'ala, because Usman radiallahu ta'ala was being tortured by his family, she too had to endure the torture. 21:04 She too had to endure the torture. 21:07 But she too remained firm. 21:09 She too remained firm. 21:11 And Hazrat Ruqayyah radiallahu ta'ala anha. 21:14 After some time, Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam gave the Muslims permission, gave the Muslims ijazat that you all can make hijrat to Abyssinia. 21:27 So, Hazrat Uthman radiallahu ta'ala anha, he got ready to make hijrat. 21:34 And he took his wife, Hazrat Ruqayyah radiallahu ta'ala anha, with him. 21:40 This was the first time. 21:44 This is the first couple in the history of Islam where husband and wife, they traveled together for the pleasure of Allah Ta'ala, for the deen of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. 22:01 Today's time we get so much. 22:03 We get girls going to madrasas to go and study. 22:07 You get masturah jamaats coming out. 22:11 You get sometimes ulama, they are mashayikh, they are traveling. 22:15 They travel with their wives sometimes like Maulana Abdul Hamid Sahib. 22:18 He makes supper. 22:20 He travels with his family. 22:21 She gives bayan to the ladies. 22:23 He gives bayan to the men. 22:26 But the first couple to start this in the history of Islam was Usman radiallahu ta'ala and Hazrat Ruqayya radiallahu ta'ala. 22:35 They were the first couple to travel together to make a hijrat together in the history of Islam. 22:42 So they made the hijrat. 22:44 Mothers, sisters. 22:46 This hijrat was no ordinary thing. 22:49 They had to leave Makkah Mukarramah. 22:52 Their hometown. 22:54 Leave their families everything behind. 22:57 And it was not a zamana where there was telephone or there was WhatsApp or you know where you could just phone now and keep in contact and all of that. 23:08 On top of it they had to make their way to Jeddah. 23:11 From Jeddah they would have to find a ship. 23:15 Then they would have to sail to Abyssinia. 23:18 And when they reach Abyssinia, 23:21 Absolutely nothing. 23:21 Hmm? 23:42 But this young daughter of Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam, Hazrat Ruqayyah radiallahu ta'ala anha, she took up the challenge. 23:51 She stood by her husband and for the pleasure of Allah ta'ala, they made this safar, they made this hijrat and they went away to Abyssinia. 24:00 You can imagine that delicate heart of our beloved Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam, that soft heart which was crying for the whole ummah 24:12 That soft heart that was crying for me and you from that time. 24:17 How that heart must have been feeling after his daughter left. 24:23 That I got no khabar that what is the condition of my daughter. 24:27 Is she alive? 24:29 Did they reach? 24:31 Did they manage to get the ship? 24:34 Was there a storm at sea? 24:36 Did the ship reach Abyssinia? 24:38 What is the situation in Abyssinia? 24:40 Our Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam can't even phone to find out. 24:45 What qurbani they had to make for this deen to be established. 24:51 After some time, one lady who was making safar in Abyssinia with her family and all that, then she returned to Makkah Mukarramah. 25:01 So she went to Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam and she said, you know, I met your daughter in Abyssinia. 25:09 And she is fine. 25:10 They are settled there. 25:11 They are staying nicely. 25:13 She is in good health, etc. 25:15 And then this gave some tasalli to the heart of Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 25:21 Khair. 25:22 After some time, there was some 25:27 Rumor that was spread that all the people of Makkah Mukarrama, they have become Muslim. 25:34 So Usman radiallahu ta'ala, Ruqayya radiallahu ta'ala, they got so happy. 25:39 Other Muslims also, they got so happy. 25:41 They said, well, if everybody has become Muslim now, we should return home now. 25:46 So they came back. 25:47 When they reached Jeddah, then they got the real information that this was a lie. 25:54 It was just a rumor. 25:56 So most of them, they returned to Abyssinia. 25:59 They didn't want to come back to torture and all of that. 26:01 So they returned to Abyssinia. 26:03 But Usman r.a and Ruqayya r.a, they didn't return to Abyssinia. 26:09 They came back to Makkah Mukarramah. 26:12 So they stayed again in Makkah Mukarrama. 26:15 And then when Nabi Akarim sallallahu alayhi wasallam gave permission, he gave ijazat now that the Muslims can make hijrat to Madina Munawwara, then again Uthman radiallahu ta'ala and Ruqayya radiallahu ta'ala they made hijrat and they went away to Madina Munawwara. 26:31 So this couple, they had the honor of making hijrat two times. 26:36 Two times they made hijrat. 26:37 One time they made hijrat and they went away to Abyssinia. 26:40 Came back to Makkah Mukarrama. 26:42 From Makkah Mukarrama again they made hijrat and they went away to Medina Munawwara. 26:47 Now in Medina Munawwara at least there is no persecution. 26:51 There is no torture. 26:54 The people of Medina Munawwara they are very helpful. 26:56 They are welcoming. 26:58 They are happy that the Muslims have come. 27:01 So they are living in a much more peaceful environment. 27:06 But now what happens? 27:08 The battle of Badr takes place. 27:11 Battle of Badr takes place. 27:14 And when the battle of Badr takes place, Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam is leaving with the army. 27:23 Right? 27:24 It wasn't actually an army. 27:27 Because Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam wasn't intending to go fight a war. 27:32 Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam was only going to 27:35 To go and oppose the caravan of the Quraysh that was going past. 27:39 He was going to intercept this caravan. 27:41 So that's why there wasn't much preparation and all that put into this battle. 27:47 But Usman radiallahu ta'ala, he too got ready. 27:50 He wanted to join Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 27:52 But Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam told him, No, Usman, your wife, my daughter Ruqayya radiallahu ta'ala, she's not feeling well. 28:01 So I would, I want you to stay behind and look after her. 28:06 Stay behind and take care of her. 28:09 You don't join us because she is not well. 28:12 Usman radiallahu ta'ala was sad. 28:14 He couldn't join. 28:16 But this is the instruction of Nabi salallahu alayhi wasallam. 28:19 So he stayed behind to make khidmat of his wife. 28:22 Hazrat Ruqayya radiallahu ta'ala. 28:26 Nabi salallahu alayhi wasallam is gone. 28:27 Now there is no telephone to keep in touch and all that. 28:32 The Muslims are fighting there and they are victorious. 28:37 Allah Ta'ala gave the Muslims victory. 28:40 You can imagine what a happy moment this must have been for the Muslims. 28:45 After all, 13 years in Mecca Mukarrama, they are suffering persecution, torture. 28:52 Then they are driven out of their homeland. 28:55 They come here to Madinah Munawwarah. 28:58 Right? 28:58 And now Allah Ta'ala affords them this great victory where they are victorious over the Quraysh, over the disbelievers. 29:07 So how happy they must have been. 29:09 Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 29:12 He sent few sahaba. 29:13 Radiallahu anhum. 29:15 He said you all rush. 29:16 You all go away to Madinah Munawwarah. 29:18 Go and give everybody the glad tidings. 29:20 That the Muslim army was victorious. 29:22 Because now obviously the wives. 29:24 Everybody in Madinah Munawwarah. 29:26 They are waiting now. 29:27 What happened? 29:27 Are our husbands okay? 29:29 We don't know what happened to them. 29:31 So Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam sends few riders. 29:33 He said you all go in the front. 29:35 And go and give the glad tidings. 29:38 In the meantime. 29:40 The daughter of Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam passes away. 29:45 Imagine on one side there is khushi. 29:49 There is happiness. 29:51 But see our Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 29:53 How much tests he had to go through. 29:56 How much tests he had to go through. 29:58 Al-Apaq could have made it. 30:00 Al-Apaq can do anything. 30:02 Al-Apaq could have made it that okay, the victory will take place and that Ruqayya Radhi Launa will live for another one month and then she'll pass away. 30:12 So that this moment of happiness is not now mixed up with the moment of sorrow and sadness. 30:19 But if we study the life of our Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam, then we learn, mothers and sisters, that this dunya is not a place of ish or aaram. 30:29 This dunya is not a place for us to enjoy our life. 30:33 In the dunya, we will always be faced with some tests, with some trials. 30:39 And we have to make sabr. 30:41 We have to be patient. 30:43 We have to turn to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. 30:46 So, we find that Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam, he returns to Madinah Munawwara. 30:53 But before him, those riders came. 30:55 They are making takbir and they are so happy. 30:57 Usman radiallahu ta'ala, he hears the sounds. 31:01 And he is asking Usama bin Zaid radiallahu ta'ala that what is all this takbir? 31:06 He said no they are coming with the glad tiding. 31:08 They are coming with the glad tiding of the victory of Badr. 31:12 But by that time Hazrat Uthman radiallahu ta'ala he was busy with the burial of his wife. 31:19 So Ruqayya radiallahu ta'ala at a young age for no fault of hers 31:26 For no fault of hers, she is divorced. 31:29 And then she is given in the nikah of Uthman r.a. 31:33 But look at that marriage. 31:35 Full of sacrifices. 31:36 First was torture. 31:38 Then was hijrat to Abyssinia. 31:40 Then again hijrat to Madinah Manawarah. 31:42 Then it all took a toll on her health. 31:45 A short-lived marriage. 31:47 Six or seven years, maybe slightly more than seven years was her marriage and then she became the beloved of Allah Ta'ala. 31:54 She passed away from this dunya and she continued on her journey to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. 32:00 When this happened, when she passed away, Uthman radiallahu ta'ala on the one hand, he has lost his beloved wife. 32:11 But on the other hand, the thing that was making him very very sad is that now he is no more the son-in-law of Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 32:22 What a great honour to be the son-in-law of Nabi al-Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 32:27 So he was mentioning to his friends, he says, you know, 32:31 That wonderful relationship that I enjoyed, that I was part of the household, I was part of the family of Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 32:41 Today that has been taken away from me. 32:43 I am now no more the son-in-law of Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 32:47 But when Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam 32:50 He heard this. 32:52 He went to Usman radiallahu ta'ala. 32:54 He consoled him. 32:55 And he said, O Usman, I will give you my other daughter in marriage. 33:02 And Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam then gave him the second daughter Umm Kulthum radiallahu ta'ala in marriage. 33:11 Mothers, sisters. 33:12 Here too is a sabak for us to take. 33:15 You know so many times there are girls at home. 33:18 They are not getting proposal. 33:20 One is lot of people. 33:22 The girls are getting proposal when they're 21, 22, 19. 33:27 Then the family people, no, no. 33:29 She's still studying. 33:30 Leave it. 33:32 When she get older, we'll see. 33:33 Or the girl herself, she got too many tall, you know, expectations of who her husband must be. 33:41 Must be like this and must be like that and must be like that. 33:44 Then they're leaving it. 33:45 They're turning down all the proposals. 33:48 And then now they're sitting in the house, they've gone 28, 29, 30, and now no proposals are coming. 33:54 So it mustn't be like that. 33:56 But there are many situations, especially in today's time, where there are so many young ladies, they never ever got proposed. 34:05 No good proposal came. 34:07 Right? 34:07 And they are getting old. 34:08 They are at home now going 26, 27, 28. 34:10 Allah Ta'ala blessed them with good, good partners. 34:14 But there are so many situations like that. 34:17 Then there are those who are divorced. 34:20 They are divorced and they come home and now the parents also are getting so much of fikr that what's going to happen to our child now? 34:28 We are getting old. 34:29 If she don't settle down, what's going to happen? 34:33 So much of fikr. 34:34 But look at the daughter of Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam, Umm Kulthum radiallahu ta'ala anha. 34:40 She is divorced by her first husband, Utaiba, for no fault of hers. 34:47 And how many years now? 34:50 Plus minus seven years she is at home. 34:56 After seven years, now comes her marriage. 35:00 Right? 35:01 And now she is married to Hazrat Uthman r.a. 35:04 This is why Uthman r.a. 35:05 He is known as Zinn Nureen. 35:06 The one of two lights. 35:14 Why? 35:15 Because he had the honour of marrying two of the honourable daughters of our beloved Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 35:25 I was mentioning last night in the masjid there in East London. 35:28 I said, our father-in-laws, they'll make mistake one time. 35:33 But they finish make the mistake now. 35:35 They finish say haa and they gave their daughters to us in marriage. 35:39 Right? 35:39 Now they can't reverse the situation. 35:42 They can't reverse the situation. 35:43 We already got their daughter in our marriage. 35:46 Now the father-in-law so many time he must be holding his head in his hand. 35:50 Where I gave this son-in-law? 35:53 But look at Nabi-e-Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 35:56 How much he must have loved Usman radiallahu ta'alaan. 36:00 That the one daughter passed away, he gave him the second daughter. 36:05 Umm Kulthum radiallahu ta'ala. 36:08 But as I said to you, life is a test. 36:12 Life is a test. 36:15 Umm Kulthum radiallahu ta'ala. 36:19 She loved Uthman radiallahu ta'ala. 36:21 Now she must have been so happy. 36:23 After seven years now, Allah Ta'ala has blessed her with a husband. 36:28 Now she can start a family, start a life, have a home of her own. 36:34 But all this happiness was short-lived. 36:39 Her Hayati, only one more year of her Hayati was left in the dunya. 36:46 She was married for one year, plus minus, to Usman radiallahu ta'ala. 36:51 And then she also took ruqsat from this dunya and went away to the Qabar, went away to the Akhirat. 36:59 So again, Usman radiallahu ta'ala. 37:02 Now that family tie is broken again. 37:05 Now no more he is the son-in-law of Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 37:08 And now Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam never have no more daughters to give him also. 37:12 Hazrat Fatima radiallahu ta'ala. 37:14 She was already married to Hazrat Ali radiallahu ta'ala. 37:19 But to understand the maqam and understand the akhlaq and understand the caliber of person that Usman radiallahu ta'ala was. 37:29 You know, Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam made what a statement. 37:33 What a statement he made. 37:35 He said that, you know, if I had ten daughters, if I had another ten more daughters, I would give them all one by one in the nikah of Usman radiallahu ta'ala. 37:50 That I would give my one daughter. 37:52 If she passed away, I'd give another daughter. 37:54 If she passed away, I'd give another daughter. 37:56 Even if I have to give ten daughters like that also, I'll give them all in the nikaaf of Usman radiallahu ta'ala. 38:04 This, you know, this one sentence of Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam, it speaks volumes and volumes. 38:13 Regarding this great personality Usman radiallahu ta'ala. 38:16 What a person he was. 38:18 You know Masha radiallahu ta'ala. 38:20 She says one day. 38:21 Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 38:23 He was at home. 38:24 So he was like you know. 38:27 Relaxed. 38:28 Sitting nicely. 38:29 Lying down little bit. 38:31 So after some time. 38:32 Abu Bakr radiallahu anha came. 38:36 He knocked the door. 38:37 Nabi Shastram asked who's there. 38:38 He said Abu Bakr. 38:39 He said alright. 38:39 Come inside. 38:40 So Abu Bakr came inside. 38:42 Radiallahu ta'ala. 38:43 And he sat down there. 38:44 Nabi Shastram carried on lying down. 38:46 Everything. 38:47 After a little while. 38:47 Umar radiallahu ta'ala came. 38:49 He knocked the door. 38:51 Nabi Shastram told him to come in. 38:53 And he remained the same. 38:55 Then after some time. 38:56 Uthman radiallahu ta'ala came. 38:58 He knocked the door. 38:59 When Nabi Shastram asked who's there. 39:00 He said Uthman. 39:01 He said alright. 39:01 Just wait one minute. 39:03 Nabi Shastram sat up. 39:06 He put his clothing all straight. 39:09 Made himself neat, everything. 39:11 Then he told Uthman, okay Uthman, now you may enter. 39:16 So later on, it was asked of Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam that Ya Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, Abu Bakr radiallahu anhu came, you never worry. 39:25 Umar radiallahu anhu came, you never worry. 39:27 But Uthman radiallahu anhu came and you changed your whole posture, everything. 39:33 Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, 39:36 Should I not have Haya for that person whom even the Malaika of Allah Ta'ala they have Haya for him? 39:46 What a person we're talking about. 39:50 So Usman radiallahu ta'ala and after that you know Umm Kulsoom radiallahu ta'ala also passed away and then he got married again. 39:59 Altogether Usman radiallahu ta'ala in his lifetime he had eight wives. 40:05 Not one time but like he got married again after some time that wife passed away then he married then he had few wives at one time but in total throughout his life he was married to eight wives and his last wife 40:20 Was Hazrat Naila radiallahu ta'ala anha. 40:24 And Hazrat Naila radiallahu ta'ala anha, she was present at the time when Uthman radiallahu ta'ala anha was martyred. 40:34 When the rebels, you know, they got into the home of Uthman radiallahu ta'ala anha and they started attacking him. 40:43 Naila radiallahu ta'ala anha, Uthman radiallahu ta'ala anha, he was reading Quran Sharif. 40:50 When the rebels came in the house, he said, Bismillah. 40:53 Tawakkaltu an Allah. 40:55 La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah. 40:58 And then he continued his tilawat. 41:00 They came, they started attacking him. 41:04 And at that time when they were attacking him, he was reading the ayat of the Quran Sharif. 41:10 But Allah Ta'ala will suffice me against them. 41:17 Allah Ta'ala is all hearing. 41:19 Allah Ta'ala is all knowing. 41:21 And when they struck him, then Hazrat Naila radiallahu ta'ala anha, she ran forward to go and save him. 41:30 She was a lady. 41:31 First, the attendant in the house, Sodan, he went to go and defend Hazrat Uthman r.a. 41:39 He too was made shaheed. 41:42 Then Hazrat Naira went. 41:43 That man was coming with the sword to strike Uthman r.a. 41:48 She couldn't take it. 41:49 She ran and she went to grab Usman. 41:52 And that person, he never had Raham even for her. 41:57 He still struck his sword on Usman's Mubarak head. 42:02 And her fingers were there. 42:04 Her fingers also got chopped off. 42:07 Hazrat Naila. 42:08 So this 42:12 That is a whole bayan on its own. 42:14 The martyrdom of Hazrat Usman radiallahu ta'ala. 42:17 We don't have time to go into all those details. 42:20 Right? 42:21 But Usman radiallahu ta'ala, he was what a personality. 42:26 You know, to understand his maqam. 42:30 When these rebels, they surrounded his house. 42:34 And they were not allowing no food to come in the house. 42:37 No water also to come in the house. 42:40 And they were performing outside. 42:42 So one day Uthman radiallahu ta'ala, he went onto the roof of the house and he addressed these rebels, you know. 42:51 He said, you know, tell me when Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam came to Madina Munawwara and we built Masjidun Nabawi sallallahu alayhi wasallam but it was built very small and later on the numbers of Muslims began increasing. 43:09 And Nabi Akareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam made a request to the Sahaba radiallahu anhum. 43:15 He said, Who will buy a land? 43:19 Who will buy a land to extend Masjidun Nabawi? 43:24 Whoever does this, whoever buys the land, then I guarantee him Jannat. 43:33 So Uthman radiallahu ta'ala says, Was it not me? 43:38 Was I not the one who went and bought the land with my own wealth and extended the masjid for the sake of the Muslims? 43:47 Was it not me? 43:48 So they said definitely it was you. 43:51 So he said then why today do you deny me from reading namaz in that same masjid? 44:00 And Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam promised him Jannat on that. 44:04 Right? 44:04 That is one occasion. 44:06 Another occasion was 44:09 There is no drinking water in Madinah Munawwarah when the Muslims came there. 44:14 There's no sweet. 44:15 You know, there were a couple of wells, but the water in that wells were brackish. 44:20 You couldn't drink it. 44:22 There was only one well. 44:25 Bi'r-e-Rumah. 44:27 But this Bi'r-e-Rumah, it belonged to a Jewish person. 44:31 And now he knows Muslims need to make wudhu. 44:35 They need water for istinja. 44:37 They need water for ghusl. 44:39 So he was taking advantage of the situation and he's charging the Muslims. 44:44 Jews, you know, they are just there to make money. 44:47 So he is charging the Muslims so much of money just to get some water. 44:53 Usman radiallahu ta'ala and he goes to this Jew and he starts negotiating with him. 44:59 He said, no, sell me the well. 45:03 Eventually the Jew, he agrees. 45:06 He said, I'll sell you but only 50%. 45:09 We'll be partnership in the well. 45:12 But 12,000 dirhams I want. 45:15 So much money he wanted for the well. 45:17 Exorbitant amount. 45:19 Uthman radiallahu ta'ala, he wasn't looking at the money. 45:22 He was looking at the benefit of the ummah and the sawab in the akhirah. 45:28 So he said, no problem. 45:29 I'll pay you the 12,000. 45:30 So he paid him the 12,000. 45:33 Now, he said, how are we going to work out this partnership? 45:36 So, the Jews say, no problem. 45:38 One day, I will have use of the well. 45:41 Next day, you have the use of the well. 45:43 Like that, it's fair. 45:45 So, Usman radi al-Awtan agreed. 45:48 So, the day when it was the Jews' turn, he is charging the people lot of money to take the water. 45:55 Next day is Usman radiyallahu ta'ala's turn. 45:58 Usman radiyallahu ta'ala makes announcement in Madinah Munawarah. 46:01 Anybody needs water, come take how much water you want to take free of charge. 46:06 So now the people came to know when it is Usman radiyallahu ta'ala's turn, then the water is free of charge. 46:12 So what they started doing? 46:13 They are coming and fetching double quantity water. 46:16 So next day they don't have to come buy from the Jew. 46:20 Now the Jew he realized his foolishness and now he's losing out. 46:25 So now he called Usman radiya Allah ta'ala and he said okay never mind buy the other 50% also for 8000 dirhams. 46:34 So Usman radiya Allah ta'ala bought it from him. 46:36 So he paid 20,000 dirhams for this well in that zamana. 46:43 So he bought the well. 46:44 Now he had 46:46 He had the whole opportunity now. 46:49 The wealth is belonging to him. 46:52 He can start making some money. 46:54 Even if he doesn't charge as much as the Jew. 46:57 He charges little bit less. 46:58 But it's a good business now. 47:00 He can make a lot of money. 47:02 Or even if he didn't want to make money. 47:04 He should just think to himself. 47:06 Let me just recover my capital. 47:08 The 20,000 that I spent, I'll just do business little bit for couple months till I recover the 20,000. 47:15 After that, I'll give the Muslims water to drink for free. 47:19 But no. 47:20 This was Usman radiallahu ta'ala. 47:24 The day he bought it, now the well was his. 47:28 He took that well and he made it wakaf. 47:32 He said, this well is a wakaf for the Muslim ummah. 47:35 Anyone can come and take water from here, free of charge. 47:39 And this was the first waqf. 47:42 The first waqf that was made. 47:44 That a Muslim with his own wealth, he bought something and he made it waqf. 47:50 So on this also, Nabi al-Karim gave him glad tidings of Jannat. 47:56 Then the third occasion. 47:59 Towards the end of Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam's mubarak life, there was a threat from the Romans that they are putting up a big army to come and attack the Muslims. 48:10 Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam got an army ready. 48:14 And he said we have to march to Tabuk. 48:17 At this particular time, the Muslims were not in a very good financial position because you see the people of Madina Munawwara, they were khajoor farmers, you know. 48:27 Date farmers. 48:27 That was their main source of income. 48:29 So in the summer month, you reap your dates and you sell it. 48:33 And then you make your money. 48:35 So that money must last you the season now till next year summer. 48:39 Now this was coming. 48:40 The whole year was getting finished. 48:41 It was coming now to the summer season where they have to now harvest the dates. 48:46 So their monies were like almost depleted. 48:50 And this is the time now Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is saying we have to march to Tabuk. 48:53 So many people were ready to go but they never have the money to equip themselves. 48:58 To buy arms. 48:59 To buy equipment to go. 49:01 To buy animal to go. 49:04 So Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam put together an army of 30,000. 49:09 But that Christian army was about 200,000. 49:11 And Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam put together an army of 30,000. 49:15 And then he made an appeal that look anybody who can make contributions to this army, make contributions so that we can assist the people to equip themselves. 49:26 At that time, Uthman radiallahu ta'ala and his one caravan, business caravan, had just returned from Syria. 49:35 And he had made a huge profit there in Syria. 49:39 Uthman radiallahu ta'ala, single-handedly, with his personal wealth, he equipped one-third of that army. 49:49 10,000 Sahaba radiallahu anhum. 49:53 He equipped them with a conveyance, with the arms, and also with whatever they would require for the journey. 50:02 Head to toe, whatever they're going to need, he equipped 10,000 Sahaba radiallahu anhum. 50:07 Then over and above that, he went to Nabi Akarim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 50:12 He bought 70 horses. 50:15 He gave to Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam to use. 50:19 Then he bought one thousand camels. 50:22 He gave to Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 50:24 He said to feed the army. 50:27 And then he brought one thousand dinars. 50:32 What we'll say today's time now. 50:34 Kruka coin. 50:35 Some gold coin. 50:37 One thousand gold coins he brought. 50:40 And he gave to Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 50:41 He said to use for the expenses of this army. 50:45 Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam was so touched. 50:47 So touched. 50:50 That he got this thousand gold coins in front of him in a heap. 50:56 And he is taking his Mubarak hand. 50:59 He is picking up these coins and he is dropping them. 51:01 He is picking up these coins and he is dropping them. 51:04 And he is saying that no harm can come to Usman after this day. 51:12 Even if he doesn't do anything else. 51:15 That for the rest of his life if he does nothing else. 51:19 But this action of his was so loved by Allah Ta'ala that definitely he will be successful in dunya, qabar, and akhirah. 51:27 This was the third occasion Nabi salallahu alayhi wasallam is giving him basharat of jannat, of success in the akhirah. 51:35 Fourth occasion was when Nabi salallahu alayhi wasallam gave the ten sahaba the glad tidings of jannat. 51:43 One of those ten was Uthman radiallahu ta'ala. 51:47 Fifth occasion. 51:49 Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam is on a mountain. 51:53 Abu Bakr radiallahu ta'ala is there. 51:56 Umar radiallahu ta'ala is there. 51:58 Usman radiallahu ta'ala is there. 52:00 The mountain starts shaking. 52:03 Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam takes his Mubarak heel and he digs it into the mountain. 52:11 And he says to the mountain, he says, O mountain, be still. 52:16 Don't move. 52:18 Because on top of you, there is a Nabi. 52:22 There is a Siddiq. 52:24 And there are two Shuhada. 52:29 The Nabi was none other than Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 52:32 The Siddiq was Abu Bakr Siddiq radiallahu ta'ala. 52:37 He passed away a natural Maut. 52:39 And the two Shuhada was Umar radiallahu ta'ala and Uthman radiallahu ta'ala. 52:44 And a Shaheed we know is guaranteed Jannat. 52:47 So five occasions in his life, Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam had guaranteed him Jannat. 52:57 Now can anyone point a finger at such a personality? 53:03 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give us tawfiq that we love the Sahaba radiallahu ta'alan hum. 53:08 We study their lives and we inculcate within us their qualities. 53:14 We won't be able to inculcate exactly like them but at least some namuna of it we must bring into our lives. 53:21 And mothers, sisters, in today's zamana there is lot of evil influences taking place in the high schools, in the universities, in the workplaces. 53:31 Lot of evil influences taking 53:33 If we are not going to educate our children, you know, before the old, old maas that were living in the houses, there was communal living. 53:43 We had our old people living with us. 53:45 The old people used to tell the children stories. 53:48 The fathers and mothers are very busy. 53:50 The grannies and grandfathers, they are free. 53:53 So they used to tell a lot of stories. 53:55 Right? 53:55 And so many things we learned from them. 53:58 So many values. 53:59 Today, we are all living on our own, you know. 54:03 Most. 54:03 All living on our own. 54:05 Mothers and fathers are still busy. 54:08 Now, where the children are getting their knowledge from? 54:12 From the television. 54:13 From the internet. 54:15 From the cartoons on the TV. 54:17 That is the values that they are getting. 54:19 No more from the nani, nana, dadi, dada. 54:23 So we have to make an effort and educate our children. 54:27 Mothers, sisters, I am telling you, Wallahi, 54:33 So many emails I get from young, young people. 54:37 Young men, young women. 54:40 The type of questions they are asking, you wonder whether there's any Iman left. 54:47 And they are coming from good, good homes. 54:51 But because they are not being given those Islamic values, and they don't have the proper Islamic knowledge, 55:00 So when these evil influences are coming, they are getting carried away. 55:04 So the simple thing we can do is start taanim in our homes. 55:09 Have a time when the whole family will sit together. 55:12 Read. 55:14 Read the seerah of Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 55:17 Read the lives of the Sahaba radiallahu ta'ala anhum. 55:21 When we will do this, then we will revere these personalities. 55:26 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give me tawfiq. 55:29 Allah pa give you tawfiq. 55:30 Allah pa grant the entire ummah tawfiq. 55:33 Allah ta'ala accept your coming, your setting, your time. 55:36 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make it beneficial. 55:38 Allah ta'ala accept and Allah ta'ala be pleased. 55:41 SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi. 55:43 Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdik. 55:45 Nashadu an la ilaha illa anta nastawfiruka wa natubu ilayh. 55:50 Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
Counter mainstream worldly and digital influences by regularly teaching children stories of the Sahaba Radiallahu Anhum.
Cultivate the quality of modesty (Haya ) and financial generosity for Islamic causes as key spiritual traits. 36:03
