 The mysteries of Islam fascinate us time and time again This is no different from the life story of the Prophet Who was Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa alihi wasallam and Illiterate doesn't merchant who want they stumbled upon amazing Arabic rhetoric or was he the creation of Allah's greatest light sent down to earth to pull man out of ignorance and bring them to the purest of truths I I Ali Burji I'm on a journey to discover the real story behind the Prophet the real story behind our religion The roots the beginning the cradle of civilization Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. So doctor regarding these two clans from Medina As you've mentioned that They've both been fighting each other For many many years. How many years approximately? Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. Alhamdulillah Arab Al-Alameen Wasallat wa salam ala Sayyidina Muhammad al-Wa alayhi al-Taybeen al-Tahirin Wa la alatu la ala ala Al-Ada'in al-Majma'in Allahumma sallam Muhammad wa ala Muhammad Yes, it is said that they've been Scholars in Australia say that they they have been fighting one another for over 120 years That's a lot. That's a huge period. That's that's several generations. You're talking about Three or four generations. Why what what what started just to get a bit of a background knowledge regarding these two clans What was the issue do we know? There are various things, but whatever they are they they were Nothing worthy of such a paying such a cost, you know fighting and spending all the energy and and it is said that They used to fight one another And this was although there were peaks and there were a few if you like the war or the battles used to come down, but It is stated that we used to we never used to lay down our arms So they had a constant vendetta between each other. Unfortunately. Okay. All right. So basically and what what they used to do We used to have people from us coming to Mecca Making allowance alliance with courage. Yeah, so that they could support them Against Khazraj and we had people from Khazraj coming to Mecca making a lot with different people of courage different clans of courage So that they could help and support to fight against Oaths It's stated that people came from Oaths to Mecca is as one of the thing and and To make alliances with Qoraysh and The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi to make an alliance with clay so that they could fight Khazraj the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi This there was a battle which happened to be the last battle The battle called Boath It was at the area or the fortress near the fortress belonging to the oaths called Boaths and They came to a group of them came to Mecca to make alliances The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi heard about that some people from Medina have come and he made sure that he found out Where they they're staying he made sure to come visit them. He went and spoke to And he said I am the messenger of Allah and I want you to give me support So that I can convey my message to the people It is said that Amongst them was a young man called Iasi bin Ma'ad and He was from Oaths and As I said they had come to seek help from Mecca from Qoraysh and He spoke to them. Yes a young man. He was impressed There were others Along with him he started talking about this when they were the meeting finished with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi They started with them. They went to do talaf so that they could go back and it is said that his companion says stop talking about him You and one of them he said they got some dust from sand from the from the ground and Throw it at his face. He said you must stop talking about this and they were concerned He said we're here to on a different business. We're here to get help from Qoraysh and go back It is said that they went back But he remained apparently he could find it with some of his close friends or relatives in Medina that he has become Muslim But anyway, he continued in that battle of Ba'ath and he was killed in Ba'ath next season a group from Khazraj came to Mecca seeking help Trying to make alliances with Some people of Qoraysh against us There were two people There were people who are mentioned by name asad bin Zorara and the Qwan ibn abduqaysh The and they they were talking about they were talking with someone called Atwa ibn Rubay'a In from Qoraysh and he said they said, you know give us help for this with Ouson so on Because they were preoccupied Qoraysh was preoccupied with Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala This time they went so enthusiastic about this and Rubay'a said to Asad ibn Zorara That you know you're far away from us and we're already preoccupied. We've got someone who's causing us a lot of headache He's one of us. He's rebelled against us. He's come up with his own religion And they said who is he? Where is he? He said He's Muhammad ibn Abdullah Ibn Abdul-Muttalib and At the moment he is in Hijir Asmaeel because during the Hajj season he used to come and Hijir Asmaeel belonged to Ibn Abdul-Muttalib So they had sanctity like that and as I had mentioned before during the Hajj season They didn't approach and didn't cause too much problem for When you harsh him on the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala because it would be bad for the reputation and He said to me only comes out of the Shab Shabab ibn Talib or the valley of Talib that you need to see Hajj season or the Umrah season and he's in Hajj But the thing is don't approach him Don't listen to him. He said but I'm going to do Tawaf. He said okay put some cotton wool in your ears So that you don't hear interesting. He's a magician You know, you might be influenced. You might be charmed by his spell So whatever you do, don't speak to him So as Adib Izzara did that. He's he got some cotton wool for the end of the years. He wanted to do the Tawaf He saw him. He saw the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala. He was sitting his head down And he approached he said Good morning The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala raised his head and he said Allah has replaced this greeting with the greeting of Ahrej Jannah. He said what is that? He said Salamun alaykum He said what do you have to say? He said I am a messenger from Allah And I invite people and invite you To declare that there is no Allah but there is no God but Allah and the I am his messenger and And he said what do you have to say? He recited these verses, which I recited earlier was taken back And he recited another verse of the Quran. He was very impressed. He said to him when he listened to the verses of the Quran And he said my god, we are fighting we are killing and we are cousins We've been killing one another for the last century because Aus and Khazraj the actual individuals Aus and Khazraj were brothers From the same father and same mother And now their descendants after 120 years are enormous, but of course they are killing one another Yeah And now he says And now he says And now he says And now he says And now he says Be kind to one another, be kind to your relatives, be kind to your parents. He said to him This is such a beautiful thing This is totally contrary to what we've been doing He said then if that is the case then you shouldn't believe in me He said Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa ala Muhammad subhan Allah Okay, so he said Yeah, so please He said I need to go and I have a friend Allow me to go and bring him He said okay The Prophet sallallahu ala wa sallam said he went to the quanabin abid qais He explained to him what happened He said you should come and listen to him To this man And this, we have come to seek help from Quraish He's talking as He's talking to the quan He said we've come here to seek help from Quraish so that we go back to Medina and kill one another Yeah And listen to what he has to say He said that the quan came and he listened And he said the shahada as well SubhanAllah And he said to him This is very important He said to him The quan said To the Prophet sallallahu ala wa sallam We've been hearing about you from the Jewish scholars in Medina We have a lot of Jews in Medina And they have been telling us That a prophet will come Who will appear in Mecca But he will migrate to Medina We would like you to make your home To make our city your home We would like you to This is the beginning of the relationship of Rasulullah with Yathrib This is the beginning Which was renamed Medina Al Munawwara That's right We've mentioned this before The Jewish scholars were though informing the people of a prophet of that era But they expected him to be a Jew Not an Arab, correct? Obviously they had come to an Arab place Because of the narrations Because of the narrations that the scholar The prophet will appear in Mecca And will reside in Medina That's why there were many Jewish scholars in Medina and in Mecca As I mentioned earlier on That there were Jewish scholars in Mecca They told Sayyid al Khadija alayhi salam Well before their marriage That when they saw Sayyid al Khadija Prophet Muhammad is working for Khadija Or he is working with her in the trade and so on One of the Jewish scholars in Mecca said to her That he will be the prophet The Jews The scholars The Jewish scholars Did they support the holy prophets? Some did, some didn't Okay Those who did obviously embraced Islam and became Muslims Those who didn't eventually They still stayed in Medina After they found out that the prophet who proclaimed prophethood Was an Arab, not a Jew And they rejected him Did they leave or did they stay in Medina? We'll come back into that when they made pact And peace treaty if you like Insha'Allah Covenant Insha'Allah Rather than peace treaty Back to the tribe of Khazraj Yes, they said we've The Qwan said to him that we've heard about a prophet From the Jewish scholars in Medina And this has been going on for a long time Almost everyone in Medina knows Has heard from the Jewish scholars that There will be a prophet from Mecca And I think with this You are the one And SubhanAllah they said We had come to Mecca To seek help and make alliances From Quraish To seek help from Quraish So that we go back and find Allah has given us something even better Peace Which is peace and giving us you SubhanAllah Musa'Allah They asked They said we're going back We're going to inform But we want you to send someone Who is more learned than us So that we can invite our people To Islam because There's hardly anyone who hasn't heard About the forthcoming prophet Who hasn't heard about the prophet From the Jewish scholars in Medina So we would like you To send someone with us So that he can teach us more And the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala Asked a young man A young man called To go with them With these two people Back to Medina And who was this person? Musa'ab Musa'ab Musa'ab ibn Umayr was a Meccan young man His parents were Rather well off They were very wealthy So he was from the Wealthy community of the Quraish If you like He was from the wealthy community He was living If you like a posh lifestyle To say that he used to wear Very expensive shirts And he was very meticulous About his look And his outfit And what have you And when he had Obviously he was from Mecca And the prophet was Meccan Sallallahu alaihi wa ala One way or another He had a message Of Rasulullah Sallallahu alaihi wa ala And he embraced Islam Alhamdulillah And when he did that His parents were having none of that Shame So they disowned him They disowned him They had nothing to do with him And they were very upset To the extent that When Bani Hashim were Surrounded in Shia Babi Talib Trying to force them To give up the prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wa ala So the Quraish could kill him And of course they refused Bani Hashim out And at that time Bani Hashim Still there were people Who had believed in the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa ala And there were people who didn't Okay If you like they were kuffar But they were Bani Hashim And out of loyalty Of their tribe members They would still protect They would not betray him They wouldn't betray him They would still protect him Okay During that season Because Moussabi Mamiah Had no one else to go He lived with Bani Hashim In the valley In the valley In Shia Babi Talib And of course things were very hard And he found it even harder Because he lived a very Of course Comfortable lifestyle He wasn't used to the hardship He wasn't used to the hardship One or two years passed by And he was It is said that he was Suffering probably more than others When this happened And other than that Moussabi Mamiah Was very enthusiastic And he knew Numerous verses of the Quran And he was well versed with the verses And also with the teachings Of Islam Teaching of the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam So he was a good candidate He was very loyal To the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam As I said He was prepared to give up All that lifestyle And live in extreme hardship In Shia Babi Talib With Bani Hashim The sacrifice is made By Allah SWT And his Holy Prophet You know because He really believed in Islam Do you know And this is not easy People who give up Very comfortable lifestyle And come And not only live in harsh circumstances Which is Shia Babi Talib Where food was scarce Water was scarce But they were in danger Anyway Moussabi Mamiah Stuck to his guns And he kept He stayed with Islam Even though his parents disowned him So he was well versed With the verses of the Quran He knew a lot of the Quran And the teachings of them So the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam Appointed Qus'ab To go with them to Medina Which of course they did So what happened He went to Medina And what was the response From the people He approached the people first Did he go to the clans Was the issue between the two clans Solved What happened What happened was he He stayed with Asad ibn Zorara One of these two people From the tribe of Khazraj He stayed with them As I said We had the Qwanib ibn Qais And Asad ibn Zorara They were enthusiastic They became Muslim They came And told their people about what happened And the people Because they had had so much From the Jewish scholars of Medina About the Prophet So if you like They were ready for it And when they saw senior members Of Khazraj That is Asad ibn Qwan They had embraced Islam So that was a milestone That was the first step Yeah, that was the first step An important first step It was a milestone It broke the ice For the rest of the people For the rest of them So if you said that He used to There was obviously If you like a central well Or a pool Connected to a well Where they had It was a water source for them Which of course Water is extremely important He Every day he used to come By this well And by this pool And the youth of Khazraj And the youth of Medina They used to come And listen to him They were highly impressed by Mus'ab ibn Zawel The words spread And Asad ibn Zorara said My uncle Khali That is the brother of my mother Is a tribal chief He's called Asad ibn Ma'ad He said that If you talk to him Now this is in the presence By this well side if you like In the presence of the All the youth of Khazraj He said if you speak to him And he embraces Islam That's it That's finished And as he said that Asad had come To vicinity of the well And then He spoke to one of his companions By the name of Asad ibn Hudair And he said I have heard that Someone has come from Mecca And he's corrupting our youth And Asad ibn Ma'ad The uncle of Asad ibn Zorara He said Asked Asad ibn Khudair To go And put a stop to all that So Asad ibn Hudair came Where Mus'ab ibn Zubair was speaking to the youth And he said You should put a stop to all this You didn't listen to him? Or you wasn't interested I mean before he went and told Mus'ab to stop Did he give him a chance? Did he hear what Mus'ab had to say? Yes, he said Mus'ab said to him If you just sit down Listen to me If you're convinced Well fine If not, then I'll stop Okay That's very fair He said that Now this was if you like Kind of the second in command Asad ibn Hudair As far as Khazraj was concerned One of the important figures was The uncle of Asad ibn Zorara By the name of Asad ibn Ma'ad So basically Mus'ad has reached Into the leadership of the tribe Yes, important figures And he sat down And he read some of the verses of the Qur'an And as I said, because of the content Of the verses And the eloquence and beauty of the verses He wasn't pressed He said, recite for me more He recited Proper Arabic, pure Arabic They were Arabs They were no problem So they understood perfectly What does Islam says? Salah, swam, canals Oh but those rules already Yes, of course Islam says this is haram, this is good This is bad So when did For example the wajibat When did they come first in place? Was it Mecca or Medina? This is a different story Let's concentrate on this This is the first time we have And He listened to all these He looked around He said, what do I have to do To enter this religion? Subhanallah And Mus'ad said to him The taqtasil, you make a ghusl And you wear clean clothes And you look clear to the shahada And pray to Raka Osaid bin Hudair He jumped into the pool with his own clothes He jumped into the pool If you like So Dived into the pool, he came out And he said I will wear clean clothes But I want to say the shahada And he said the shahada in front of all the people He said the shahada, the two shahada And he wore clean clothes And he came and prayed And then they asked him What are you going to do about the chief? He said, leave it to me I'll try to go and talk to him Convince him that he comes And listens to you It is said that when he approached Sa'ad bin Muad It is said that he said Before even he spoke He said that Osaid came back to us Without the face that we went to He was a different man He was a different man Now this was even before he He spoke So he said I invite you that you go and listen to him You are the taker or leave it It is said that you know him And Sa'ad bin Muad Went by the pool side And He asked Osa'ad bin Umayr To recite some of the verses of the Qur'an And Osa'ad recited Ha'am Meem Ha'am Meem, In the book of the verse The book of the verse means ranks, correct? No, the book of the verse means explained In the book of the verse Ha'am Meem In the book of the verse Arabic It is a revelation from Allah SWT The Merciful, the Compassionate It is a book Whose verses have been Explained and clarified In Arabic For people who comprehend So this was extremely Important Musa'ab ibn Umayr says We have seen Islam In his face before he spoke By Allah we saw Islam In his face before he even Spoke This Sa'ad bin Muad So he Embraced Islam He said what do I have to do? He said to them You were clean garments You declared the Shahada And you prayed to Raka'a And He did that He didn't jump in the pool this time So he went and did the Ghusul He wore clean garments and he came He declared the Shahada And he prayed to Raka'a According So You know, all the people around Were very happy He said that he Went If you like to The city center or whatever That they wanted to make decoration And he said I call upon Every Man, woman and child Okay To gather around me With no exception I want you all The whole tribe to participate So he waited for everyone To gather And he said to them Who am I And what am I They said you're the chief You're our leader And We We are loyal to you And we obey your commands This is what you are And this is who you are Tell us what you want And he said I Don't want to hear anything from you Unless You declare the Shahada That there is no God but Allah And that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah Which was Something extremely Significant And it is said that There was not a single household Except that There was at least A male or a female Muslim In that household Subhanallah That's the beginning of Medina That's the beginning of Medina People became Muslims Not every single one They had to think And there was no Force or coercion Even though the chief Of Khazraj was asking them That I want you to do that Still It wasn't absolute That everyone Accepted Islam It says that there was not a single household Except there was at least one male Or female Muslim In that household So this is how If you like The Medina embraced Islam Accepted Islam And the ease That the people of Medina Accepted Islam is because Of the Presence of the Jewish scholars And because The Jewish scholars were telling them An Al Awan It's about time they used to tell them Before It's about time that A prophet appears He appears in Mecca But he will migrate to Medina He will migrate to your city That was the reason That it was They accepted embrace Islam So easily, relatively easily At least by presiding Few verses Of the Quran or a complete chapter Of the Quran The chiefs accepted Islam And Which is Once the chief as Asad ibn Zorara has said Once my uncle accepts Islam Then we're sorted Of course Uncle accepted Islam Some of them did Alhamdulillah And we see the peace between the two Clans after Alhamdulillah there was peace And Allah says When there was peace A good thing you mentioned that Revealed this eye If you were The enemies So you became Your hearts So you became Remember The mercy and the favor of Allah Upon you that while you were enemies One another Allah harmonized between your hearts And you brought your hearts closer together And you became brothers again Okay, so there was That's why the battle of Ba'ath Which was raging Until recently Was the last battle Between Aus and Khazraj And Mus'ab wrote to the prophet Salallahu Alaihi wa ala Remind me, I would say Mus'ab As I said he was a very loyal Muslim and he was killed In the battle of Uhud In the battle of Uhud He was martyred And When During the second wave of attack Hated by Khalid bin Walid Mus'ab ibn Umayr Was killed In that attack In the battle of Khalid You are 40 chiefs Of 40 clans So from each clan One warrior comes Okay, and They attack the house Or attack him Simultaneously With a single blow Each of them give them So that they don't say This was the first one No, simultaneously They strike at Muhammad And kill him With a single blow And if Bani Hashim Decide to fight The tribes or the clans Of the killers, they will have to fight 40 clans And that will be something impossible for them to do
