 have stated that marriage is considered to be a sign of Allah's power and glory. When the Holy Prophet of Islam passed away, he left behind nine wives. This became the main target for Christian and Jewish writers to attack the religion of Islam. It is necessary to point out that this is not a simple matter to be dismissed by a sentence or two that the Holy Prophet of Islam had extreme fun towards women so much so that he married nine wives. The fact is that he married each of his wives for a certain and for a particular reason due to particular circumstances. This is why my esteemed guests and I have dedicated tonight's episode to discuss the Quranic stance and the Quranic verses that discuss and examine the wives of the Holy Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, peace be upon him and his purified progeny, respected viewers, brothers and sisters in Islam. Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Welcome to the 10th episode of Life From Karbala Ramadan series with me, your host, Ahmad Ali. Before we begin the episode, I would like to send my condolences to you, my respected viewers, to Prophet Muhammad, to the Ahlul Bayt, to our Awli imam, our Mahdi, my Allah, his and his dear parents, for the death and for the demise of our lady Khadija, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon her. However, I would like to introduce my guest who has joined me over the past few episodes, Sayed Hussain Al-Qazwini. Welcome back. How do you say it now? Thank you very much. Allahi khali kum insha'Allah. I would like to condol you on this tragic occasion, the demise of lady Khadija. Allahumma Allah. She is considered your grandmother in a way. Absolutely. So, it's a blessing to be in a position like that. But Sayedna, this topic has been debated for many years now, for decades, if you will. Why did the Prophet marry nine wives? I mean, we Muslims were only able and only allowed to marry four wives. And those four wives' conditions are applied for a person who does marry more than one wife. So, if you can just briefly discuss this issue. I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed. In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And peace be upon Sayedina Muhammad and his family. And peace be upon him. In discussing the wives of the Prophet, and the verses pertaining to the wives of the Prophet, because Allah gives the wives of the Prophet not certain attention in the Qur'an. And there are several verses that address the wives of the Prophet directly. Directly, yes. Before we get into that, yes, the Prophet was married to nine wives. And altogether, some historians say that he was married to twelve wives. Altogether. Yes. Not one after, not together in you? Together there were nine. But throughout his lifespan, his wives altogether were twelve. Some of them passed away, some of them. There were nine wives when he passed away. And Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam passed away. There were nine. Why did Rasulullah marry nine wives? First of all, we have to understand something. That pre-Islam, pre-Islam, men would marry many wives. There were no restrictions. Polygamy was something very normal and common. Some men would marry twenty, thirty wives. They were rich, they were wealthy, and marriage was a way of forming political alliances. And there was a tribal community. So many offered their daughters to political leaders, tribal leaders. So having several wives was something normal. Islam came and reduced it to four. This is something that a lot of people don't know. They think that, you know, monogamy was common, but Islam came and established polygamy. And Allah would Muslim men to marry up to four wives. This is not the case. Polygamy was the case. It was the norm. Islam came and restricted it to four wives. Fankuhu ma'ataba lakum min annisa'i mathna wa thirath wa roba'a. Okay. And Rasulullah is not an exception. Rasulullah, just like all other men, he was entitled to marry four wives. However, why did Rasulullah have nine wives? Some scholars, you know, they mention this reason. It's very interesting. This is whether you agree or you disagree. It's a good analysis. They say that the Quran established Allah. That the wives of Rasulullah are like your mothers. Wa nisa'uhu umma hatiqa. Wa nisa'uhu umma hatiqa. Their wives are your mothers. Of course, not literally your mothers, but legally. Meaning what? Meaning that after the death of Rasulullah, no one was allowed to marry them. And the Quran refers to that. That you are not allowed to marry Rasulullah's wives and widows after him. So if Rasulullah was married to nine, when this law came that you can only keep four, the Muslim men that were married to more than four wives, they had to divorce and keep only four. Rasulullah could not divorce. Why? Because men who had more than four wives, those who had six, they chose four and they divorced two. So I don't know which four they chose. I'm pretty sure that was a tough decision for them to make. And it got them into trouble. But they had to choose four and divorce two. The other two were divorced. They had the luxury of remarrying. They could go and remarry someone else. But the wives of Rasulullah, they can't. No one could marry the wife of Rasulullah. Once she's a widow or once she's divorced. That was great harm for her to remain single and not be allowed to remarry. That's harm. Islam made an exception. Islam said since the wives of Rasulullah cannot remarry, no one could marry them after Rasulullah out of respect and honor for Rasulullah. He could keep the nine wives. This is one analysis that has been mentioned by some scholars regarding why Rasulullah was able to keep nine wives. Of course the question is why did Rasulullah have nine wives to begin with? Yes. Right? First of all, as I just mentioned, that marriage was not just to build a family and to have children. No, marriage served a political purpose as well. Marriage was used for political alliances of two tribes. They led a man and a woman marry. That would bring the two tribes closer. Sometimes if there were two tribes that had bloodshed in between them there were wars and battles. One of the ways that they would reconcile was to have a marriage. Yes. A man from this tribe and a woman from that tribe. It was a means of political alliance. That is why we see that Rasulullah married and many people wanted Rasulullah to marry their daughters as well. Yes. In the case of Abu Bakr and Umar, they wanted Rasulullah to be their sons-in-law. This was a way for them to come closer to Rasulullah to form a political alliance. They thought that this will bring them closer. So it was a political alliance. Many of Rasulullah's marriages were either a political alliance or it wasn't out of sexual desire. You know, some people they make Rasulullah seem like a sexual monster. Yes. He married nine wives. He had a lot of sexual energy. He married Asha at the age of nine. Is that true? This is not true. Perhaps in other discussions maybe we could cover this. Asha was not nine. I heard she was married before she got married to the Prophet. Is that true? That is a possibility. What's the popular opinion that she was a virgin? But she was not nine years old. She was much older. According to some narrations she was 18 years old. And the one who said she was nine is her, herself, Asha. The narrations that say Rasulullah married her at the age of nine, she, Asha. Why? And this was many years later. Many years after her marriage she mentioned these narrations. Why? To make herself seem younger. Not to give her real age. And you know age is something sensitive when it comes to women. Especially when you have competition. Yes. When you have eight other women competing over the same man. Yes. But she wants to make herself seem younger. The youngest one. It's nonsense. It's not true. And she was not nine years old. Anyhow, Rasulullah has made to seem like a sexual monster. No. Look at the wives of Rasulullah. Most of them they were not virgins. Many of them were widows. Rasulullah had a lot of sexual energy. And he was a sexual monster. He would have chosen virgins. Young ladies. And while, in most of the cases, many of his wives were widows. They were old. Many of them were old. Fifty years old. Um Salimah was fifty. Yeah. She was old. They had children. Their husbands had died in war. Thus he married them for a humanitarian reason. Not for sexual desire. If it was out of sexual desire, he would have married younger women. Yes. Why go after widows? I know for Rasulullah wanted virgins. There were a lot of virgins available. And the people of Medina would have been honored to give Rasulullah their young ladies. Yes. But he didn't. He married widows. Their husbands were killed in the battle. They needed a caretaker. They needed emotional support, financial support. He protected their dignity. He protected them. This was the reason. Either political reasons or humanitarian reasons. It wasn't sexual reasons. It's good to clear that up. Also in chapter 33 verse 50, we see one of the wives of Rasulullah who came and gifted herself to Rasulullah. We see that in chapter 33 verse 50. And he said, wait, let me see what Allah Almighty has to say about that. So it's somewhat that the wives of Rasulullah or Rasulullah was not the one that always went to propose to these women. It's either they were gifted to him or they were given by the tribe, by their parents or someone like that. Many of Rasulullah's wives, they were offered to Rasulullah by their fathers, by their tribes. It's not that he won and he proposed. And he accepted to form those political alliances. And the only proposal that happened was with Khadija. She came and proposed to Rasulullah. Yes, that's correct. But through examining the 28th to the 34th verse found in chapter 33, some laws or Allah says to the wives of the Prophet, you are not ordinary women. He addresses them that they're not ordinary. He says double the punishment and double the reward. Isn't that contrary? I mean, why are you saying double the reward and then double the punishment or vice versa? What is intended to this verse? In Surah Al-Ahzab, from verses 28 to verses, from verse 28 up till verse 34. That's six verses. Allah specifically addresses the wives of Rasulullah. And this draws people's attention. Yes. You know, for example, the Sahaba, some of them, we don't have a lot of verses. We don't have a lot of verses that address the Sahaba directly. We have a couple. The ones that we talked about yesterday. But the wives of Rasulullah, they're spoken to directly. And in a couple of verses, Allah has brought all these verses together and He speaks to them. In verse 28, he says, Oh, you prophet, tell your wives. Give them a choice. Tell them what are you looking for? Are you looking for to have fun and go after worldly desires and live like queens? Then I'm not the right person for you. Go and marry someone else. I'll divorce you. If you're looking for dunya, I'm not a person that can offer dunya to you. I'm a humble man. I'm a messenger of Allah. I'm not a king. I'm not the emperor of a nation. If you're looking for dunya, let me divorce you. Go and marry someone else. But if you want Allah, if you want the day of judgment, if you're looking for the next life, then with me, you won't go wrong. You will have all of these things. When we were, you will have Allah and His messenger and the other house. So Allah has changed the good from us. Those of you that are good, He has changed the good from us. Those of you that are good from you. That means not all of them are good. Not all of them are muhsinaat. Aaddal al muhsinaati min kunna. For those of you that are good doers, Allah swt has, Aaddal honna min kunna, ajran alimah. There's a great reward for you. So first of all this shows that the verse shows that not all of the wa'is of Rasulullah were good doers. Yes. Some of them, you know, they were not even religious. They were not even affected by Rasulullah sallallahu ala wa ala. Really? Yes. This is, if we end, if we end Allah, Aaddal al muhsinaati min kunna, min kunna min lat tab'eel. Yes. Some of you were good doers. Some of you were righteous. Okay. Then the verse lectures the wa'is of Rasulullah. Listen, you wa'is of Rasulullah. You were non-ordinary ladies. You were non-ordinary ladies. If you commit a crime, if you commit a heinous crime. The word says fahisha. Which one of you that commits fahisha? Fahisha has, it could be interpreted a couple of ways. One, the obvious meaning is adultery. Yes. The other meaning is none. Any sin, any sin is called fahisha. And there's a couple of usages in the Quran where the word fahisha is referring to all sins, not specifically adultery. Anyhow, whether it means adultery or it means any sin. Yes. Let's say that it means adultery. Yes. Allah is warning them that if you commit adultery, if you disrespect Rasulullah with this heinous crime. Then your punishment will be doubled. Wow. Don't think that your punishment will be like any other lady in the community. You're the wife of Rasulullah. You should be a role model. You're a role model for people. People look for you as an example. Yes. All the women look at you as an example. So if you commit adultery or you commit a sin. What will people say? That this is the wife of Rasulullah? It's okay for her, so it's okay for us. And you're the mother of the believers. Yes. You're considered like a mother to all believers. You commit a sin in public. Or commit adultery in public. Meaning, not in public but everyone knows about. The whole world finds out about it. Your punishment will be doubled. And this is easy for Allah. And then, this is for those of you that want to be bad. Your punishment is twice. And for those of you that want to be good. And she who obeys Allah and gives her attention only to Allah and the prophet. And does good deed, she will be rewarded twice. Twice. Twice could be in this life and in the next. Or receives a double reward. And she will have good risk. Generous risk from Allah. What's risk? Risk is sustenance. Sustenance, it could be money. It could be wealth. It could be a good reputation. It could be knowledge. It could be love. Love in people's hearts. This is a risk from Allah. A person who is loved by the people, this is a form of risk. And then the Quran again emphasizes. You see, the emphasis is not once, twice, three times. We'll mention why. The Quran is, you know, it's the word of Allah. The word of Allah is wise. Allah knows why he emphasizes. Of course. Allah doesn't emphasize on something. That's unnecessary. Unnecessary. You know, in Surah Al-Rahman. Some people say, why has it been repeated over ten times? There's a purpose. There's a reason. Here too. All you wives of the Prophet, you are not ordinary ladies. Don't think that you're ordinary. You're attributed to Rasulullah. People say you're his wife. You have to be better than everyone. Your reflection of Rasulullah's manners. You reflect Rasulullah. You reflect Rasulullah. You should be affected by Rasulullah more than others. Yes. More than the strangers. Definitely. While unfortunately. That's common. You know, the closest people to you should be affected by you. Definitely. While unfortunately, history tells us that that was not the case. Many of the wives of Rasulullah, they were not affected by Rasulullah. Many? Yes, several of them. Several of them. Maybe using the word many is not appropriate. But several of Rasulullah's wives, they were not affected by the manners of Rasulullah. They don't portray the manners of Rasulullah. We'll talk about this in a minute. Insha'Allah. Don't speak softly. Don't speak gently. We talked about this a couple of nights ago. Yes. So, the one who has a disease in his heart. Yes. We said a well-known word. Speak normally. We said a well-known word. Speak normally. Don't lower your voice. Don't make your voice softer and gentler and more feminine. This is not appropriate. It's not. Of the wife of Rasulullah to speak that way. And it's not appropriate of any female. Of any female. And along the wife of Rasulullah. This is one of the laws pertaining to the wives of Rasulullah. If we can go into a short break. And then we'll talk about the laws which are presented in Holy Quran. I respect the viewers. Do stay tuned as we are. I forgot to mention. We are in the 10th night of Ramadan. Which happens to be Thursday night in Karbala. The second Thursday night in Ramadan. So, do take the opportunity to send your salatations in Salam. So, our master Imam Hussain A.S. As you will be presented with live footages from inside the Holy Shrine of Imam Hussain. So, that's during the break. Stay tuned. Allahumma salli ala Muhammad Allahumma salli ala Muhammad Muhammad wa al Muhammad Muhammad Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa al Muhammad Allahumma salli ala Muhammad Muhammad wa al Muhammad Allahumma salli ala Muhammad salli ala Muhammad wa al Muhammad Allahumma salli ala Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Muhammad Welcome back. As-salamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Once again, hopefully you took the opportunity to send your salatations in Salam to our master Imam al-Hussain, alaihi as-salam. As I mentioned, we are on the second or in the second night, sorry, the second Thursday night of Ramadan. And what better place to be or to send your salatations on this night, other than the night of Thursday. So hopefully Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala may increase your reward and increase the blessings upon all the believers and all the lovers of Ahl al-Bayt. But welcome back, Habib Sayyidina. Before the break, we talked about several issues. We talked about the reason why Rasulullah married nine wives. We provided precise evidences. And we also talked about how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala indicates that the wives of Rasulullah are not ordinary ladies. They're not similar. The punishment is doubled if they sinned and the reward is doubled if they obey. But we moved on to the laws which are presented by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. We see several laws. You mentioned softening the voice. Don't talk in a soft manner when you're talking to men. The second law that we see in the Quran is remain at home. And the third, we see that do not uncover. Did they abide by these laws? First of all, don't soften your voice. Most importantly, and remain in your homes. Why are they home? Is there a second one? Yes, the second jahiliya will occur in the future. We might even be living in jahiliya The first jahiliya meaning pre-islamic jahiliya, the days of ignorance. Before before Islam, before Rasulullah came with the message, that was an age of ignorance and jahiliya and people would uncover. We talked about the hijab before Islam and after Islam. What's interesting is that the verses we read in our homes, sit at home, remain at home. Don't leave the house. The Quran is giving them activities to do. Be busy with these things. Pray, give zakat. And obey Allah and the message of Allah. Why is the Quran only speaking to the wives of Rasulullah? Out of all women in general. He could have said, ya ayyuha ladina aminum. He's speaking to the wives of Rasulullah, wa ta'inna Allah wa Rasulah. And then, and then, nama yuridu Allah, we'll talk about that in a couple of minutes. And then, and remember the verses that were revealed in your house, in your homes. Does that mean they shouldn't remember the verses that were revealed in other homes? No. Allah is trying to remind them that the Quran was revealed in your homes. You should be the first to act by the Quran. And practice the Quran. And memorize the Quran. Don't let others practice the Quran. Inna Allahi kanilatifan khabira. Now, these are the verses. When we come to history, we see that some of the wives of Rasulullah were not perfect. They battled each other. Yes. They were jealous of one another, as we'll see later on. And one of them rose and led a battle against the Imam of her time. No one denies this. This is a historical incident that took place in the battle of Jamal. She rose against the Imam of her time. And the Quran says, Sit at home, recite Quran, be busy with ibadah, with worship. Don't go and get into politics and wage wars and lead Muslims to their death. How many people died in the battle of Jamal? Thousands of people, thousands of Muslims died in the battle of Jamal. Why? Because they were deceived by some because Aisha had, you know, the desire to fight Alib. She had a desire to fight Alib. No other reason. So she took thousands of Muslims with her to battle to fight. Is this correct? Is this abiding by the Quran? Is this applying the verse absolutely not. So we see that some of the wives of Rasulullah were did not implement these verses while you're at the same time. At the same time, I should say that there were some of the wives of Rasulullah that were pious. Yes. Um Salama. Um Salama. Khadija. Khadija A.S. She was one of the best of the wives of Rasulullah. Um Salama. She was one of the pious, one of the most pious people of her time. So we can't generalize and say all of the wives of Rasulullah, they did not abide by these verses. Nor can we say that all of them were perfect, just like what we talked about yesterday regarding the Sahaba. Yes. Some of the wives of Rasulullah, they were righteous, they were pious, like I say that Khadija A.S. Who was the first to believe in Rasulullah and among the first to accept Islam, her and Imam A.S. She put all of her wealth towards the path of Islam to the point that when she died, she did not own a kafan. Wow, a kafan. She did not own a kafan to be shrouded with. And the same goes for Um Salama, pious lady, righteous lady. But on the other hand, you have some wives of Rasulullah that did not obey the Quran, did not listen to Allah. But some state that the verse is a command to the wives of Rasulullah during his life, not after. It's a general verse. This is general. During his lifetime and after his lifetime. Both. Why just during his lifetime? But after the death of the Prophet, the wives of Rasulullah became widows. So it's their house now. It's not like the Prophet's house. They can go on and go on whenever they want. Right. However, to remain at home after the death of Rasulullah is more important than to remain at home during his lifetime. After they're home, Allah is trying to tell them don't go into politics. Sit at home. Don't get involved into the politics. Be busy. You're mothers of the community. You're the mothers of the believers. Yes. When it's, act like mothers. Sit at home. Read the Quran. Read the dua. Remember Allah Azawajal. Pay your zakat. Don't come outside and get involved in politics. Yes. So the verse is general before or after his death. But more specifically after his death. The verse that you just mentioned, the first part we see that Allah SWT indicates that he has purified the family members of Rasulullah. Doesn't such a verse propose the idea that the wives were also included because they are also family members of the Prophet. And you know it's not just a separate verse. It's one verse. The first part talks about the wives. The second part talks about his house, his family members. So does it not propose the idea that they're included? No. No? No. Why? This section of the verse has nothing to do with the wives of Rasulullah. Why? Because the verses before, as we saw it's all the female pronoun. Yes. That has an N at the end. Which is speaking directly to the wives. Female pronoun. But in this verse, Can you elaborate more on the Arabic literature of what this means? Sure. Because some viewers might not understand what that's indicating. Sure. To speak to females, a group, plural female, you would put an N at the word. When you're speaking of a females, we call it Noun Al-Anath. Is that correct? Noun Al-Anath or yes, Noun Al-Taqneeth. To say that these are for females. A female pronoun. But in this section, and come is for males. Yes. Or male dominated. Or male dominated. If it was speaking to the wives of Rasulullah, it would have used the N, not a M. Well here, it's using M, meaning this is a male pronoun. Male plural pronoun. Not a female plural pronoun. So there's a big difference that this is not speaking to the wives of Rasulullah. It's speaking to a group of people that are male dominated. Most of them are men, not women. Okay. So if we do take in that idea, when we go into say like a family gathering and there's the aunt, the sisters, whatever, a lot of ladies, we don't say As-Salamu Alaikum. We say As-Salamu Alaikum. That's not correct. That's not correct? No, that's not correct Arabic. Even though we do that, but that's not Fusha Arabic. We're making a mistake by doing that. Really? We should say As-Salamu Alaikum. When there's all females, you have to use the word Kun. As-Salamu Alaikum. So on and so forth. When you say As-Salamu Alaikum to a group of females, that's not correct. Arabic, you know, linguistically, according to the Arabic language, Al-Fusha, that's not correct. So this is one. Two, the verse is saying Allah wants to purify you and remove all rijs from you. A couple of minutes ago. We just talked about Allah doubling the punishment. Double the punishment. If you do bad, you're not like regular woman. If you do bad, you will receive double the punishment. Isn't that a contradiction? It is. Here it's saying, if you do bad, if you commit adultery, you will receive double the punishment. Now it says Allah has purified you. So if Allah has purified you, why make threats? Yes. Why threaten them? Don't threaten them. So it's speaking to two groups of people. There it's speaking to the wives of Rasulullah. Here it's speaking to the Ahlul Bayt that are male dominated. And we believe they are Rasulullah. Who else could it be? If it's not these people, who else could it be? Ahlul Bayt. And everyone recognizes that these people are Ahlul Bayt. Bring me even a Salafi fighting in Fallujah now. Ask him who the Ahlul Bayt are? He'll tell you Muhammad, Ali, Fatima and Hassan. No one will disagree on that. Rasulullah, Amir al-Mu'mineen, Ali ibn Mitalib, Al-Hassan and Hussein. These are male dominated. And there's a female within Fatima t-Zahra. And if there's a female within a male dominated group, you could use the word Qom. Nama'irudullah, yudheba'an, Qom, al-Ritse Ahlul Bayt. Wa yutahira, Qom, that's fine. That's correct. The verse is not speaking about the wives of Rasulullah. If it was speaking about the wives of Rasulullah. If it was. Didn't Aisha, no one doubts this. That Aisha fought the Imam over time? Yes. Is this purification? Not just the Imam, the Khalifa over time. The Khalifa over time. And everyone agrees that this is a cardinal sin. Yes. Man kharaja ala Imam al-Zamaneh. To fight the Imam of your time. This is a cardinal sin. Yet, they say that she performed Tawba. After. Really? She repented. They agree with us that she rose against the Imam over time. But they claim that she repented. Allahu ala. We didn't see any of her repentance. We don't hear of her repentance. We haven't heard of her repentance. That is this purification? If Allah had purified her, how could she rise against the Imam of your time? Definitely. No one disagrees with this. That Ali ibn Abi Talib was the Imam of the time. And Aisha rose against him. That means she rose against the Imam of her time. So we do see the difference between the verses and it's not like of Allah swt or like Prophet Muhammad to contradict what he says and what the Quran says. But if he wants to go to a different chapter. Chapter Tahrim. There's a specific story behind the revelation of that chapter. Who and which wives is this verse or is this chapter talking about? And if you can just discuss the story behind it. How many minutes do we have? Approximately we have six minutes. Six minutes. Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim. Yes. Here explicitly the Quran sheds light on whom the wives of Rasulullah. Rasulullah forbade something upon himself. He made something upon himself haram. Why to please some of his wives? Tabtaqi marzata az-wajik. You forbid yourself from doing something to please some of your wives. What was that something? We'll say it in a minute. I want to narrow down the verse so that there's no disagreement. Rasulullah secretly told something to one of his wives. The verse is saying that it was two of the wives. The story is revolving around two of the wives of Rasulullah. But if you conspire against him. It means when you conspire two of the wives of Rasulullah they conspired against him. How clear does this verse get? How clear does this verse get? How clear. And then. If you were to divorce you, Allah will find him better wives. And you will find him wives better than you. Ajeeb. How better than you? What does this mean? It's what they do not Muslim. You tell me. What do you understand from this? These wives will be Muslim. I mean you've studied the Qur'an. This is a very harsh tone. You've studied the Qur'an more than me. And I would like you to emphasize on this. I mean muslims, what is that indicating? It's indicating that these are qualities that are not found in those wives. This is how I understand the verse. It's listening. If your mother tells you divorce your wife, God forbid. And I'll find you a better wife. That's a muslim. That's a believer. What does that mean? What does that mean? That these are qualities that are not found in your wife. Your first wife. Don't come and say that so-and-so is attacking the wives of the Rasulullah. If you have a problem, come and take it out. Come and take it out. Surat al-Tahrim. Yeah. Now what was it? Just very briefly. Yes. And I want my dear viewers to go and do their research regarding Surat al-Tahrim. The first link they'll find is the story that you'll get a message. This is a first story. If Allah gave us a longer life, maybe in one of the days, we'll discuss this topic. Briefly, what was the issue? Yes. Zaynab was very pretty. She was beautiful. And she was envied by Aisha and Hafsa. Really? I tell my dear viewers to refer to Sunni books of Tafsir. One of them is Al-Jama'a al-Ahkam al-Quran by Al-Qurtubi. He mentions this story in detail. Yes. He says that Aisha and Hafsa, they conspired against Rasulullah and his wife Zaynab. They said, Aisha and Hafsa, they decided that one Rasulullah visits them. And the night before, he was at Zaynab's house. They told me, Rasulullah, you smell. You have a bad smell in your mouth. You have a bad smell. He came to Aisha, she told me, Rasulullah, you smell. So I just came from Zaynab's house. Then he went to Hafsa's house, Hafsa's night. She also told him, Rasulullah, you smell. There's a couple of versions to the story. One says that it was the smell of some form of honey that Rasulullah would eat at Zaynab's house. So he said, I will no longer eat this honey. This honey is haram upon me. Or another version says that I will no longer go to Zaynab's house. I heard drink. Is it drink or eat? It was honey that Rasulullah drank. It was a form of honey, kind of like a liquid. Not as thick as, you know. It was a honey drink. He said, I will no longer, either don't, I will no longer eat or drink it. Or no longer go to Zaynab's house. And this is the correct version. Because why were they conspiring so that he no longer goes to Zaynab's house? Some say it was maria al-qabtiyanat Zaynab, anyhow. And then Rasulullah discovered. Allah told him that, Ya Rasulullah, this was a conspiracy. Of course there's other versions to the story. We don't have time to get into. Those who want details should go and read Muqsab Tafsir. They conspired against Rasulullah. Allah tells them, In tatooba ilallah faqat saghat quloobu kuma Seek forgiveness for this deed, for this action that you did. Seek forgiveness, repent to Allah. You conspired against your prophet, your husband. This is very harsh tone. Very harsh tone. Very harsh tone. And I don't see people talking about this verse and this chapter. They talk about Aisha, Sayyidatuna Aisha, Ummul Mu'mineen Aisha. Did he read this chapter? What do you have to say about this chapter? Who do they refer to in that verse? They agree that it's Aisha and Hafsah. Really? But they keep it low, they keep it hush. Don't talk about it. Why? Isn't this in the Qur'an? That's weird. Why don't you be fair? When you talk about her merits, talk about this verse as well. Talk about this chapter as well. Talk about what Aisha and Hafsah did and how they conspired against Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi. Clearly in the Qur'an. And they claim that we exaggerate over exaggerate over the Ahlul Bayt, alayhi wa sallam. I mean wow. But Sayyidina, we have come to the end of the episode. May Allah SWT great new reward on Thursday night. Thank you very much. Thank you very much for coming tonight. May Allah SWT bless you. Respect the viewers. Thank you very much for tuning in. Tonight's episode was very enlightening because we did get an idea of who were the loyal wives of Rasulullah. Loyal, not as what some would understand it, but loyal as they were close to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam and who conspired against Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So thank you very much for tuning in. May Allah SWT bestow his forgiveness. Mercy and blessings upon you. Wassalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Assalamu alaikum wa sallam.
