Venue Masjid Taqwa Summary Main Topic
An overview of key historical events in the 6th year after Hijrah—including the expedition of Muhammad bin Maslamah (RA), the capture and remarkable conversion of Sumama bin Usal (RA), and the expedition to Banu Lihyan—followed by an explanation of the paramount necessity of Tazkiyah (spiritual purification) in preserving one's good deeds.
Key Lessons
Awe and Strategy Post-Khandaq : Following the Battle of the Trench, the prestige of the Quraysh waned, allowing Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) to establish stability and neutralize hostile tribes threatening the Muslims.The Transformation of Sumama bin Usal (RA) : Sent initially to assassinate Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam), Sumama (RA) was captured and tied in Masjid an-Nabawi. Observing the daily devotion, Tahajjud, and brotherhood of the Sahaba (Radiallahu anhum) over three days transformed his deep hatred into profound love for Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam).Prophetic Mercy : When Sumama (RA) cut off grain supplies to Makkah in defense of Islam, the Quraysh begged Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) for relief. Demonstrating immense compassion, Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) instructed Sumama (RA) to resume grain shipments.The Role of Tazkiyah : A core mission of the Prophet (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was the spiritual purification of the Ummah. Tazkiyah acts as a protective boundary around one's acts of worship (aamal), preventing good deeds from being squandered through bad character, backbiting, or oppression.

— Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. 0:02 Ya Rabbi salli wa sallim la iman abada ala habibika khairil khalki kullihimi. 0:10 As we mentioned yesterday that we have now completed the incidents that have taken place in the fifth year after Hijrah and we now move on to the sixth year after Hijrah. 0:26 In the beginning of the sixth year 0:29 Around the 10th of Muharram. 0:32 Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam sent Hazrat Muhammad bin Maslam radiallahu ta'ala to the region of Najd. 0:42 And he was sent to the tribe of Banu Bakr bin Kilab. 0:47 Why he was sent to them is that this tribe had assisted the disbelievers when the Kuffar had come for the battle of Ahzab. 0:57 So this tribe had assisted them and they were in the forefront of causing all the mischief. 1:03 Part of the alliance. 1:05 So Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 1:08 Now you see that the you have to understand the mood now right? 1:15 The battle of Badr. 1:18 The Mushrikeen got a shock of their lives. 1:22 And they thought they are going to finish the Muslims up now. 1:25 They came with a mighty force. 1:27 Right? 1:28 But they got a shock of their lives. 1:30 There is now doubt being created in the minds of the people. 1:35 The Quraysh were the most powerful tribe and they couldn't defeat these Muslims. 1:40 Right? 1:41 But then the battle of Uhud takes place. 1:44 And in Uhud, there is no real victory, there is no real defeat on both sides. 1:51 So now people again getting a bit of confidence in the Quraysh. 1:55 All the tribes around are waiting to see what the Quraysh does. 2:00 If the Quraysh brings Islam and Iman, all would bring Islam and Iman. 2:05 Many tribes had wanted to accept Islam also but they were holding back because out of fear for the Quraysh. 2:12 The Quraysh was the strongest tribe. 2:15 Now after the battle of Khandaq, the people now, the Quraysh also were finished. 2:24 They too had to go back. 2:26 The Quran entered Madina Sharif also. 2:30 The people also, they're thinking that now, who are these people? 2:34 Who are these Muslims? 2:35 What are they? 2:36 What help do they have? 2:38 Why is it that this mighty Quraysh with all the alliance, with all the force, everything, they cannot, they couldn't enter Madinah Sharif, they couldn't defeat the Muslims. 2:47 And the exact same question is being asked around the globe today. 2:52 That America with all its forces had such an alliance, went to attack one small country, Afghanistan, all the poor people with temples, running in a mountain, old, old Krasnikovs they got. 3:06 And they couldn't defeat them. 3:07 Till now they are still puzzling away. 3:11 They went into Iraq. 3:12 They say weapons of mass destruction. 3:13 This that. 3:14 Didn't find nothing. 3:16 So many body bags came home. 3:19 Still nothing happening. 3:21 Same story in Palestine. 3:23 For so many years from the 60s. 3:26 These Muslims with stones in their hands. 3:29 But they are holding out against the enemy. 3:32 Who are these people? 3:33 This is why Islam is the fastest growing religion in the West. 3:38 It's the fastest growing religion in the West. 3:40 This is why when the 9-1-1 took place, you couldn't find the Quran Sharif in the States. 3:47 Every bookshop, every kitab shop was sold out of Quran Sharif. 3:53 Because the disbelievers wanted to read this holy book. 3:56 Now what is this Quran Sharif? 3:57 What are these people following? 3:59 Who are these people? 4:02 So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has got his own system. 4:06 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has got his own system. 4:09 So this at present now in the seerah of Nabiya Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam, the mood is that there is a type of an awe that is being instilled in the hearts of the enemy. 4:24 That is the Quraysh cannot take these people on. 4:27 Then what nusrat do these people have? 4:30 Now Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam needs to cement this. 4:35 He needs to cement this because we need to put an end to these skirmishes with the enemy. 4:40 We've got work to do. 4:42 We've got da'wat. 4:44 We have to spread the word of deen. 4:46 The whole of Hijaz has to become Muslim. 4:49 Shariat has to be established. 4:51 So there's a lot of work to be done. 4:53 So we need to once and for all cement it that people now don't take a chance. 4:59 They don't just think now they can just take a chance with the Muslim. 5:02 Take a chance with the Muslim. 5:03 So this tribe is Bani Bakar. 5:07 Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam sent Muhammad bin Maslamah radiallahu ta'ala. 5:12 When they got there, the Muslims attacked them. 5:16 They basically all just gave up. 5:19 Ten of them were killed. 5:20 The rest of them ran. 5:22 And Muslims received some booty. 5:26 And they came back to Madinah Munawwara after about 19 days on the 29th of Muharram. 5:33 They returned to Madinah Munawwara. 5:37 On their return, when they were returning, this group of Muhammad bin Mastamar radiallahu ta'ala, they captured the leader of the Banu Hanif tribe. 5:51 The leader of the Banu Hanif tribe was a person by the name of Sumama 5:56 Bin Usal. 5:57 Now the Sumama bin Usal later on becomes radiallahu ta'ala and we do his whole inshallah how he brings Iman. 6:12 So they capture him and they bring him to Madinah Munawwara. 6:18 Now what mission was he on? 6:21 Sumama bin Usal had been dispatched 6:26 By Musaylimah Kazab. 6:30 To go and assassinate Nabi Akkareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 6:36 So he was on this mission. 6:39 Sahaba radiallahu ta'ala nun capture him. 6:42 They bring him to Madina Munawwara. 6:45 Had it been any other leader, they would have executed him same time. 6:52 They would have executed him same time. 6:55 When he is brought to Madinah Munawwara, Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam gives a hukam that he should be tied to one of the pillars in Madinah Munawwara. 7:09 He must be tied there. 7:14 He is tied. 7:15 He is put on this pillar. 7:17 And the first day of his capture now, he is in Madinah Munawwara, he is in Masjid al-Nabawi, he is tied to the pillar. 7:25 So he is observing now the Muslims, how they're coming, they're doing salah, they're tahajjud. 7:32 All this he is seeing of the Muslims. 7:35 Because in the time of Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam, the masjid was every day like how our masjid are in the last 10 nights of Ramadan. 7:45 Activities that are taking place in our masjid in the last 10 nights of Ramadan, this was a normal activity daily in the masjid of Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 7:56 So if a person wanted to see Islam, he must come to the masjid. 8:00 He will see Islam. 8:01 Right? 8:02 In our time, if the person, bicharo, if he comes away to the masjid, if it's not a namaz time, he may only meet couple jinnats or something. 8:10 The only thing he'll see is some decor, some smart carpets, one or two smart clocks, something and then he'll go away. 8:17 What is he going to learn about Islam in the masjid? 8:22 So, Sumama, the first day now, 8:26 Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam, after the first day of his capture, Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam goes, he's walking past him. 8:33 So Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam asked him, he said, O Sumama, what do you have to say? 8:42 What's your story now? 8:45 So the Sumama, he responds and he says, that I have good thoughts regarding you. 8:55 It says, if you have to kill me, if you kill me, you are killing a person whose killing is justified. 9:04 That you won't be wrong. 9:06 If you kill me, you won't be wrong. 9:07 Because I was coming to commit such a crime that now I was captured. 9:13 So if you have to kill me for that, then you are justified. 9:16 You won't be making any zulm. 9:19 However, if you are kind and favorable towards me, 9:24 Asr. 9:24 Asr. 9:24 Asr. 9:46 Then I've got an abundance of that. 9:48 I can give you how much wealth you want. 9:50 I will give you wealth. 9:52 In other words, if you want me to pay a ransom for my release, then you name your price. 9:58 I've got enough resources. 10:01 I will get the ransom paid. 10:04 On hearing this, Nabiya Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam remained silent and he went away. 10:09 He left him. 10:10 Another day passes. 10:11 Another 24 hours. 10:13 He sees again activities of the Muslims. 10:16 Everything. 10:17 He witnessed another five namazs. 10:19 Tahajjud. 10:20 You know what and what other aamal were taking place in the masjid. 10:24 So on this end of the second day, Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam walks past him again. 10:31 And Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam tells him that, O Sumama, 10:38 What you got to say? 10:40 Ask him again. 10:40 What's your opinion now? 10:41 You got anything to say for yourself? 10:44 So he responds in a similar manner like what he said the first day. 10:51 But in the words of the Hadith, there's few words that are different. 10:56 His response of the second day is not exactly like his response of the first day. 11:03 You actually see from the words that 11:05 That by the second day he had become more relaxed and more confident that he's not going to be killed. 11:13 The way he responds on the second day. 11:15 I can't remember exactly now. 11:17 But I remember in the words of the Hadith Sharif there is some slight variation in the second day. 11:25 So Nabi Akarim sallallahu alayhi wasallam leaves him. 11:30 The third day again Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam repeats the exercise. 11:34 Goes to him again. 11:35 Asks him again what you got to say. 11:38 So he responds again in similar words like he did in the first two days. 11:44 So after this third day, Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam instructs the Sahaba radiallahu anhu that release him. 11:53 Untie him. 11:53 Let him go. 11:56 Set him free. 11:57 He can go away. 12:00 Now, imagine this person had come to assassinate Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. 12:07 He hasn't brought Iman, nothing. 12:09 He just spent three days in the masjid. 12:13 Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is quite confident that by this person spending his three days in the masjid, what he has observed of Islam and the Muslims, 12:29 Something definitely is going to take place in his heart. 12:36 So Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam has him released. 12:44 He leaves the masjid. 12:47 He goes to a nearby orchard. 12:51 There is some water there. 12:53 He takes a ghusl. 12:54 Makes himself path. 12:57 And he on his own accord now, he comes back to the masjid. 13:05 Now he could have read the shahadat while he was tied there in the masjid. 13:11 But he also didn't want to make it seem that he is just reading the shahadat because he wants to save himself from imprisonment or death or something. 13:23 Now after he was freed, 13:25 Now he came back on his own accord. 13:28 He came back to the masjid. 13:30 And then loudly he proclaims a shahadah. 13:33 He decides. 13:33 Ashadu an la ilaha illallah. 13:36 Wa ashadu anna Muhammadur Rasulullah. 13:39 Right. 13:40 Then he goes to Nabi Akarim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 13:43 And listen to the words. 13:46 He says. 13:47 O Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 13:51 Prior to this, prior to my capture, prior to these three days, prior to me bringing Iman, there was no face on earth more disliked to me than your face. 14:07 He says, but today, there is no face on earth that is more beloved to me than your face. 14:16 Allahu wadiyyul ladhina amanu. 14:19 Yukhrijuhum minal dhulumati ilan nur. 14:24 You know, sometimes you may have experienced when you were small, you hanged one jacket or you hanged one kurta or something. 14:37 You're sleeping and your sleep breaks in the night. 14:41 You wake up. 14:42 Now you're looking at that jacket. 14:46 That jacket looks like many things. 14:49 In the dark, in the night, the jacket looks like many things. 14:54 You forget also that there's my own jacket I hang there. 14:59 Looks like many, many different things. 15:03 But if somebody just put the light on, all the fears are gone. 15:09 Now you can make out that's my jacket. 15:12 Nothing else. 15:16 Any person who cannot see the beauty of deen is in darkness. 15:22 Because the person is in darkness, that is why he thinks Islam is a religion of terrorism, Islam is like this, and Islam is backward, and they are unfair towards women, and a whole lot of different statements they make. 15:40 Why? 15:41 Because the person is in darkness. 15:45 But when that person gets close to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala takes that person out of darkness and puts that person into light, now when that person sees deen, he says, there's no better thing than this. 16:00 So the Sumama, he was in darkness. 16:03 He was coming to assassinate Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. 16:07 But now when Allah took him out of darkness and put him into light, now he says, 16:12 The worst, the face that was most hated to me was your face. 16:16 But now, the most beloved face to me is your Mubarak face. 16:23 Then he goes on. 16:25 He says, there was no religion more disliked to me than your deen. 16:32 The deen that you had brought, I hated it. 16:34 I didn't want this deen. 16:37 But today, Islam is the most beloved religion to me. 16:43 There was no city more disliked to me than your city. 16:49 But today, your city is the most beloved city to me. 16:55 And now that he brought Iman, now that he has this love for Allah Ta'ala, and in a split moment, in a short, our maids are working for us for years. 17:07 We can't impress upon them the beauty of Iman and Deen. 17:12 This person just three days. 17:15 Three days of it. 17:16 I'm feeling cold. 17:18 Put it off. 17:18 Do it on. 17:20 Sorry. 17:22 So, three days he stays in the company of the Muslims and what a transformation. 17:28 And this transformation is not just a soda water josh. 17:33 Because you see what happens after this now. 17:36 Right? 17:36 One is sometime person goes in the company of the Sheikh. 17:40 He gets one heavy figure he get now. 17:42 He's on a high. 17:44 After two, three weeks, one month, two months, finish. 17:47 Khalas. 17:49 But here this person has come three days only. 17:52 He spent with Nabiya Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam and Sahaba radiallahu ta'ala num. 17:57 And now see what happens. 18:00 He now puts his whole life's mashwara in the hands of Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 18:06 He says, Ya Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, my intention was to go for Umrah. 18:10 Umrah. 18:13 But now I have brought. 18:15 Now you may be thinking now what Umrah he was going to perform. 18:18 The Mushtiqin used to also perform Umrah. 18:20 In their own lopsided upside down way. 18:24 But they used to go to Baitullah and they used to make some Tawaf and they used to make some Umrah also. 18:29 They used to make Hajj also. 18:32 So he says I was going to go to perform Umrah. 18:34 But now I have brought Iman. 18:36 Now everything is in your hands. 18:38 You tell me what to do. 18:40 If I must stay away here, I'll stay away here. 18:42 You give me mashaAllah. 18:44 What should I do? 18:45 So Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told him. 18:47 You were going to go to perform Umrah. 18:49 So go. 18:50 Go and perform Umrah. 18:51 Now. 18:54 When Sumama reaches Makkah Mukarrama. 19:04 Now obviously the Kuffar are seeing him. 19:06 He is being everything according to Islam now. 19:09 He is a Muslim now. 19:10 He is not worshipping idols now. 19:13 So one of the kuffar says that Sumama has lost his deen. 19:19 Has become irreligious. 19:21 Because any person who becomes Muslim, they say he is Sabi. 19:24 He is finished now. 19:25 He got no religion. 19:26 He left his religion of his forefathers. 19:27 He is finished. 19:29 So that person made the statement about Hazrat Sumama r.a. 19:35 He replied and he said never. 19:38 I have become a Muslim. 19:40 I found Islam. 19:41 Now I got a religion. 19:43 Prior to this I never had a religion. 19:44 Now I got a religion. 19:46 I am following the way of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 19:53 And he mentions few. 19:55 He says I have become obedient to Allah Paak and to Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 19:58 I am Allah's servant. 20:00 And by the Qasam of Allah I will never return to Shirk and I will never return to you know the previous ways etc. 20:07 So they now were becoming rough with him. 20:13 Kuffar. 20:14 They were becoming rough with him. 20:16 So he told them. 20:19 You see the Banu Hanif tribe. 20:22 They were responsible for supplying grain to Makkah Mukarrama. 20:27 The grain used to come from their district. 20:31 And he is the leader, the chief of that tribe. 20:36 So he told them. 20:37 He said, not a single grain will enter Makkah Mukarramah until Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gives permission. 20:51 Now you see, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala throughout the ages always left power in the hands of the Muslim. 21:05 The choice is the Muslim's 21:07 Whether he becomes greedy or he wants to use it. 21:13 You see today, the enemies can't destroy Islam. 21:21 Enemies cannot destroy Islam. 21:24 The Muslim is destroying Islam. 21:27 The enemies are just coming to finish up what the Muslim finish break. 21:33 The enemy is just coming to crush it. 21:36 Right? 21:37 The Muslim world, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made it that everything today needs a fuel. 21:47 Horse never needed fuel. 21:49 Donkey never needed fuel. 21:50 They ate fodder and carried on. 21:53 Now all our transport, whether it is your fighter jets, whether it is your machines, whatever, aeroplanes, everything requires a fuel. 22:02 And the fuel is in whose hands? 22:06 The feud is in whose hands? 22:09 If the Muslims want, they can bring the whole world to their knees. 22:16 All they need to do is close the oil tanks. 22:20 But the problem is the petrodollars. 22:27 See? 22:29 So greed... 22:31 Hubbud Dunya. 22:33 Wa Qarahiyatul Mut. 22:35 That's what it boils down to. 22:38 Allah left the power in the Muslims' hands. 22:41 Like how Allah made the Sumama become Muslim. 22:46 The food of Makkah Mukarrama is now in the Muslims' hands. 22:49 The power is... At that time there was no oil. 22:51 They didn't have boarding to do boarding and take out oil and everything. 22:55 But they all had to sleep. 22:56 They needed grain. 22:59 So Allah put the power that the Muslim could have brought makam karama to its knees. 23:07 That was given in Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam's hand. 23:10 This person who was a disbeliever, he is coming to assassinate Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. 23:15 He gets captured. 23:17 Now he becomes a Muslim. 23:18 And what a Muslim. 23:21 What a muqlis Muslim now he becomes. 23:23 He is not worried about dollars now. 23:25 He is not worried about money. 23:27 Never mind. 23:27 We will lose the business. 23:30 We lose the business with Makkah Mukarrama. 23:32 We won't be able to sell them grain. 23:37 But we bring them to their knees. 23:38 Power is in our hand. 23:43 Today the Muslim got the same power. 23:46 But he doesn't want to exercise it. 23:48 The greed for dollars has taken over. 23:54 So, he stopped all the grain. 24:00 No grain must come. 24:03 Eventually, the people of Makkah Mukarrama, they sent a group, a delegation to Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 24:14 That, Ya Rasulullah, we are family. 24:20 Leave everything else. 24:21 We are family. 24:22 Connections. 24:24 And your deen, you are promoting family ties. 24:28 And your own family is hungry. 24:31 There's no grain coming. 24:34 And Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam sent a message to the Sumama radiallahu ta'ala. 24:41 Don't stop the grain. 24:42 Now look at Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam's heart. 24:46 What a heart. 24:50 What would they did to him? 24:55 He could have told him, here go. 24:58 And then you get this orientalist who say Islam was spread by the sword. 25:03 If Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam wanted, he could have made them starve. 25:07 He would have told SubhanAllah, right, don't send the grain, leave it. 25:14 But Islam didn't spread like that. 25:17 Islam spread through akhlaq, through compassion, kindness, mercy. 25:22 Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is Rahmatul lil alameen. 25:26 So Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam told him that Sumama radiallahu ta'ala, that no, you opened the road for the grains to go to Mecca. 25:40 So this was the incident of Hazrat Sumama radiallahu ta'ala. 25:47 Then, if you can recall, if you 25:55 Maybe shake the scramble eggs a little bit. 25:58 Maybe you will recall this incident. 26:02 The Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam had sent these ten sahaba radiallahu ta'ala that certain tribes wanted for them to come and teach them. 26:12 And then they acted treacherously. 26:15 They surrounded these sahaba. 26:18 Seven of them were made shaheed. 26:19 Three were left. 26:21 Then this kuffar told him, no, if you come down, we won't do anything to you all. 26:25 So they came down. 26:26 Then they went to tie the one sahabi up. 26:30 He said, I'm not coming with you all. 26:31 Eventually they had to mata him. 26:33 And two were left. 26:35 Hazrat Khubaib, radiallahu ta'ala, he was taken with them. 26:37 Hazrat Zaid bin Dasina, radiallahu ta'ala. 26:41 He was. 26:45 He became Baliul Ard. 26:48 We did the whole. 26:49 Zaid bin Rasina was taken. 26:50 The other Sahabi became Baliul Ard. 26:54 So. 26:55 We did that whole incident. 26:58 Now. 26:59 After this incident with the Banu Quraiza. 27:03 Then the Banu Bakar tribe. 27:05 They were sorted out. 27:05 Now these people had also acted treacherously to the Muslims. 27:09 Right? 27:10 So now, Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam dispatched an army to them also. 27:17 Dispatched an army to them. 27:19 Now the whole, as I'm saying to you, you got to understand the mood at that time. 27:24 That the thought was being created in the people's minds that, hey, who are these people? 27:30 And Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam now needed to cement this. 27:34 They mustn't think now they can take a chance. 27:37 They can just take a chance. 27:39 Right? 27:39 So Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam dispatched 200 Mujahideen. 27:47 When they came to... And Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam also went with. 27:51 He didn't only send them. 27:52 He went with. 27:54 And when they came to this Wadi al-Gharan. 27:59 It's a valley of Gharan. 28:03 This is the place where the Sahaba radiyallahu anhu were martyred. 28:07 Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam stopped here. 28:11 And he made a lot of dua for those shuhada. 28:15 And then he proceeded. 28:17 But when Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam went forward. 28:20 So this Bani Lihyan, this tribe that acted treacherously. 28:25 They ran away. 28:26 They left their homes, everything. 28:28 They ran away. 28:29 They went dispersed into the mountains. 28:32 They didn't want to face the Muslims. 28:34 But you see. 28:37 This was, the object wasn't to go and fight them. 28:42 The object was for this awe to be instilled in their hearts. 28:49 Awe now to be instilled in their hearts. 28:51 So after this, when they ran away, Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam sent 10 Mujahideen. 28:59 Only 10. 29:00 Under the leadership of Hazrat Abu Bakr. 29:04 And some say Hazrat Sa'ad bin Ubadir. 29:07 He sent them. 29:09 Behind these people. 29:12 There was no. 29:13 Only ten. 29:14 Ten. 29:14 Sahaba. 29:15 But they're still. 29:17 Chasing them. 29:20 So they. 29:20 Went for. 29:21 Quite a distance. 29:22 Like almost. 29:24 Coming near Makkah Mukarramah. 29:28 And then the Sahaba returned to Madinah Munawwarah. 29:33 As Mohamad was mentioning in the Jum'ah Bayan. 29:36 On this occasion also, Hazrat Abdullah ibn Umm Maktum was left in charge of the affairs in Madinah Munawwarah. 29:46 Because he couldn't take part in the Jihad. 29:49 But he was left in charge of the affairs in Madina Munawwara. 29:53 Because he had no sight. 29:54 He was physically blind. 29:57 Spiritually he had great sight. 29:59 But physically he was challenged. 30:05 What do they say here? 30:09 No, no. 30:11 Visually challenged. 30:14 Impaired. 30:16 Now it's same as, you can't call a person blind. 30:20 Blind is not nice. 30:22 Don't use the word. 30:23 It's visually challenged and visually impaired. 30:27 Khair. 30:33 Continue on that tomorrow if Allah gives us tawfiq and hayati. 30:43 As happens every year around this time, everybody is asking about bayat and everybody wants to know, want to take bayat. 30:53 Because you get more taqifin, then you get some people who are, Ramadan Sharif comes and everybody wants to make a change in their lives. 31:01 Allah makes it like a catalyst, becomes a means of us 31:07 Getting Hidayat. 31:09 Get some people going out in Jamaat. 31:10 Some people, different, different decisions are made. 31:14 One youngster came to me. 31:16 I think it was this morning or something. 31:20 So he said, Maana, I heard you starting this madrasa, this gap year course. 31:26 But I heard you got only taking limited students. 31:30 But I am going to matric next year. 31:35 But I'm putting my name down for the following year now. 31:38 So when I finish my metric, I'm first coming to do the gap year. 31:45 After that, then I'll carry on studying. 31:48 So I'm putting my name down from now because there'll be limited place. 31:51 So from now I'm putting my name down. 31:54 Then another... 31:56 Brother came to me that 25th night or one of the nights confirming my name for the gap year cause for next year. 32:08 So it happens like that. 32:10 Ramadan Sharif. 32:11 Quran Sharif is recited. 32:13 So everybody wants to try and make some change. 32:17 So people who are inclined towards the soul so they start looking for Masha'ir. 32:23 They want to make their Tazkiyah. 32:24 They want to make that change. 32:27 Others will go in Jama'at. 32:29 Some will decide to go with Darul Ulum. 32:31 Some will... 32:31 Different, different things. 32:35 So it is very important that this concept is understood and it is explained. 32:42 So we got about 10 minutes and start explaining it and then in the next program we just explain a few more aspects. 32:51 The first thing that we must realize is 32:54 Is that when it comes to our tazkiyah, our purification of the soul, then this is a function that Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam was sent with. 33:06 The part of Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam's responsibility to the ummah was to make the tazkiyah of the ummah. 33:13 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala 33:15 Mentions in the Quran Sharif. 33:16 لَقَدْ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ بَعْثَ فِيهِمْ رَسُولًا مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةِ That Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala favored the believers when he sent from amongst them a Rasul. 33:37 What are the functions of this messenger? 33:39 يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ He recites upon them 33:44 The verses of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. 33:46 The Quran Sharif. 33:48 That's the first function. 33:50 The second function of the messenger is وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ He makes their tazkiyah. 33:56 Their tarbiyah. 33:57 Purification of their souls. 34:00 The third function is وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابِ One is he recited the ayat of the Quran Sharif. 34:07 The other is he teaches them the tafsir of the Quran Sharif. وَالْحِكْمَةِ 34:13 Refers to the Ahadith and the Sunnah of Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 34:18 So these were the primary functions of Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 34:23 And Tazkiyah was or is a very very important from the time of Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 34:30 This is a major branch of our Deen. 34:34 It is just unfortunate that it is something that is not taken seriously. 34:41 Whereas Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in so many places in the Quran Sharif. 34:44 قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّاهَا قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا وَقَدْ خَوْبَ مَنْ دَسَّاهَا Many many places Allah talks about this. 34:48 فَأَمَّا مَنْ تَغَى وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَوْفَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَ 35:06 The person who fears standing in front of his Rabb and he restrains his nafs from following his evil desires. 35:14 Afaraita man ittakhaza ilahahu hawa. 35:18 So many many places the Quran talks about this. 35:21 And then Maulana was mentioning in the Jummah Bayan that Hadith Sharif and Maulana says that we mentioned it maybe four times or something this Ramadan. 35:35 So let's make it five now, one more time. 35:37 More or less one time makes six. 35:40 But the reality is this. 35:43 That you see, we can bring aamal into our lives. 35:49 We can bring a lot of aamal into our lives. 35:53 But if the tazkiyah is not made, we will lose that aamal. 36:00 When a person buys a property, you see Allah says, وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابُ Right? 36:06 يَتْلُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ That's the first thing. 36:11 Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wa sallam recites upon them his ayat. 36:15 Quran Sharif. 36:16 The ayat of the Quran. 36:18 That's the first thing. 36:20 The second thing is وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ He makes their tazkiyah. 36:26 Right? 36:27 Then he teaches them tafsir, then he teaches them hadith. 36:32 Now, the example that Allah is putting in my mind right now, first time I also thought about this example. 36:40 With Allah's fazal and your barakat. 36:45 A person purchases a piece of land. 36:50 Buys a piece of land which he wants to develop. 36:54 First he needs a land. 36:57 But before he starts doing anything, 37:02 He first puts a wall around. 37:05 For a fencing. 37:07 Even the contracting company, they coming and they gonna do work. 37:11 First they put a fence around. 37:14 Why? 37:15 If we don't put the fence, while building, lot of material is gonna get stolen. 37:22 People will just be walking in and out here. 37:25 Things will go missing. 37:28 So first we put a fence around. 37:31 After putting a fence around or a wall around, now we start building. 37:36 Now what we build will be secure, it will be safe. 37:41 Tazkiyah is exactly that fence around. 37:45 The fencing around is the tazkiyah. 37:48 If a person doesn't make his islah, then he'll be building, but the material will be getting stolen, he won't know where it's going, he'll be putting so much effort into the building, 38:01 But he won't see nothing happening, nothing developing. 38:04 He bought one container of cement. 38:08 Next day the builder is telling him, why we need cement? 38:11 We bought one container of cement yesterday. 38:12 Where is the cement? 38:14 So exactly the same thing. 38:16 Shatamahaza. 38:17 Qadhafahaza. 38:18 Akalamanaaza. 38:20 So day of Qiyamat the person will come eating. 38:22 I got so much Aamal. 38:24 So many times I went for Hajj. 38:25 I went for Umrah. 38:26 I was reading so many Khatams. 38:28 What I was doing. 38:31 But his Islam wasn't made. 38:33 So he was swearing this one. 38:34 He was abusing that one. 38:36 He was oppressing that one. 38:38 Because his Islam wasn't made. 38:41 His akhlaq. 38:42 He wasn't refined. 38:46 So now on the day of Qiyamah. 38:47 He is thinking that I got these mountains of sawab and reward. 38:52 But when he goes there. 38:54 Then he said I do go to pay by him. 38:57 You have to give that one, this one, that one, that one. 38:59 And then the person after that he got no deeds to give. 39:03 Now forget mountains of sawab that he came with. 39:06 Now he is collecting mountains of guna on his back. 39:12 So this is how important this aspect of our tarbiyah, tazkiyah. 39:17 This is why it is so important. 39:20 Because this will protect our aamal. 39:22 Without this, a person's aamal will be lost. 39:28 So it is fine to promote aamal. 39:34 Right? 39:35 But it is very important that this tazkiyah is made. 39:41 This is why Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, first, وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ Then وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةِ And this is why you find in the first 13 years of Makkah Mukarrama, 39:55 There was nothing. 39:58 No Hajj. 39:59 No Umrahs. 40:01 No Law of Zakat. 40:02 No Salah also. 40:05 Right in the end. 40:07 And that too only for Nabi Sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 40:10 Sahaba radiallahu anhu to read Namaz with Jamaat and all that. 40:12 That came in Madinah Munawwara. 40:15 So what was taking place in Makkah Mukarramah? 40:20 What was taking place in Makkah Mukarramah? 40:24 It is all this building of Iman. 40:26 Building of Iman. 40:28 Tazkiyah. 40:29 Taraweeh. 40:30 So now when the Sahaba radiya Allahum reached a certain level, after that whatever was thrown at them, they could endure. 40:43 They could make qurbani. 40:44 They could sacrifice. 40:47 So this is the importance of this Tazkiyah. 40:52 How important it is. 40:53 That it is not something that some moranas have made up. 41:01 Somebody just decided we need to make something called Tasawwuf now and open up couple of khankas and carry on. 41:09 It's not like that. 41:09 It is a branch of our deen. 41:11 It's part and parcel of our deen. 41:14 And not just part and parcel, an integral portion of our deen. 41:20 To make our 41:22 Isla. 41:23 Get rid of the akhlaq ya razila. 41:25 Bring in the akhlaq ya hamida. 41:28 So many hadiths just on akhlaq. 41:32 Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wa sallam's hadith. 41:33 Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself he says. 41:36 Wa istu di utamimah makarimah akhlaq. 41:40 That I have been sent to perfect good character. 41:46 InshaAllah. 41:47 So we'll stop here. 41:50 Allah Paak reward you. 41:53 Allah Paak make it beneficial. 41:56 SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi. 41:58 Subhanak Allahumma wa bihamdik. 42:00 Nashadu an la ilaha illa anta. 42:03 Nastaghfiruka wa natubu ilaih. 42:05 Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
Capitalize on Spiritual Seasons : Utilize times like Ramadan or youth gap years to seek Tazkiyah, attach yourself to pious company, and make firm life decisions towards Deen.
Convey Islam Through Character : Recognize that non-Muslims and seekers are often won over not by force, but by observing the lived beauty, compassion, and consistent worship of Muslims.
