 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والصلاة والسلام على سيد المرسلين سيدنا ونبينا وشافيعنا وقائدنا وقرّة عيوننا سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم يا ربنا لك الحمدك ما ينبغي الجلال وجهك وعظيم سلطانك اللهم افتح علينا فتوح العارفين اللهم معلمنا ما ينفعنا وانفعنا بما علمتنا يا رحم الرحيمين today inshallah we will talk about رفيدة الأسلامية رضي الله عنها and ويس القرني رضي الله عنها so when سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم migrated and arrived in Medina the female companions rushed to serve him and they were so happy to have him in their community so his love filled their hearts his love directed their hearts and they felt the change in their lives when سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم came to them so some of these female companions wanted to give her house for other companions used to seek knowledge and to learn the Quran to learn the Quran and to teach the Quran most of them would participate in battles with سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and we have a name today رفيدة الأسلامية was a strong independent woman and she was among the first people in Medina to accept Islam so as widely recognized as the female nurse and surgeon in Islam she was always helping her dad he was a physician and she wanted to be someone who can do something remarkable for Islam and of course we mentioned that she accepted Islam early and she was one of the unsarred women who wanted to please سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so many accounts of her life describe her as notably kind, patient, empathetic all of which shine through رفيدة رضي الله عنها consistent act of service رفيدة رفيدة رفيدة رفيدة ربيدة اللوحانها began her path in medicine by learning as a mentioned from her from her dad and assisting him سعد الأسلامي He was a physician for more invasive procedures." So she was helping her dad and she provided expert-level care while continuously refining and broadening her skills through hands-on field work. لذلك أفضل أن يكون كذلك أفضل رفايدا رضي الله وعبها قريراً لأخذها المستخدمة إلى المدينة العربية ويقرأتها لأخذ المدينة العربية ويقرأتها لأساعدهم أنها تريد أن تستخدمهم. لذلك، فقرأت for the injured soldiers during the battles against the non-believers. وذلك كانت إضافة إلى the battle of Al-Khandaq و the battle of Khaybar. رفيدا also took it upon herself to share her knowledge و to teach other women to work in medicine. لذلك، she was able to provide hands-on training to women looking to help provide aid to the sick and to the wounded people. و she was then able to organize و an invaluable network of nurses many of which followed her و they joined her in treating casualties of battles. لذلك، what happened at the end of the battle of Khaybar at that time رفيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم was so impressed with رفيدا رضي الله عنها he was so impressed with her medical and nursing work و that he assigned her a share of the bounty equivalent to that of the soldier's share. now imagine being recognized and empowered and encouraged by the greatest of mankind صلى الله عليه وسلم so once the war and the battle came to an end و she was permitted by the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to maintain what she was essentially what she made or what she worked on which was essentially a small clinic in a tent situated in مسجد النبوي so this allowed رفيدا رضي الله عنها to continue providing the medical care and to attain more women and to train them to train these women as nurses رفيدا رضي الله عنها her unwavering devotion to caring for others was remarkable و when she wasn't working as a nurse what did she do she used to pursue her social work and she was a social worker and she advocated for the Muslims in need so she served her community while serving her faith the name of رفيدا رضي الله عنها was so remarkable was so brilliant and she was a nurse و when سيدنا سعد المعاز was injured his injury was severe and سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم asked the companions to move him to the tent of رفيدا لذلك أنها ستأخذها و ستأخذها من حياته و أخذتها بشكل محقق قال رضي الله عنه اجعله في خيمة رفيدة حتى أعوده من قريب أخذه إلى قريب رفيدة حتى أعوده سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم كان لديه so much faith أنه أخذت قريب رفيدة رضي الله عنه و أنه أخذتها في مدينة لذلك،ها أخذتها أخذتها في مدينة صلى الله عليه وسلم و هذا أجعلها سهل للسيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم لأخذها و أخذها لذا إذا لا، لا دعنا نتوقف لأخرى و أخذنا إذا كانت أخذتها و أخذتنا للساعدة لذا، ما كان هذا في قرارنا؟ بعض الناس يقولوا إذا هناك الكثير من الناس لماذا هؤلاء هؤلاء أخذتني للساعدة؟ رفيدة ليس كذلك رفيدة كانت في مدينة أنها أخذتها لأخذتها لأخذتها و أنها أخذت كيف و ما يعني when سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول من فررج عن مسلم قربه وكانا وكانا يساعد على شخص في أي خلفية بهذا الدنيا الله سبحانه وتعالى سوف يساعده في الده بعد و this is what was in the heart of Rufaida, رضي الله عنها So she wanted to help people so that Allah سبحانه وتعالى would take care of her on the day of judgment She did that out of love to Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم So when you see how Rufaida was doing her work, you see all the ihsan You see all the fear of Allah سبحانه وتعالى You see all the love and all the compassion in believing what she is doing It's the khayr for the ummah It's the khayr that would be shared by everyone So her ihsan and her doing her duty in the most possible and best way The best way that she can do was her title This is a lesson for us Whatever your job is, do it with ihsan Do it with as much as best as you can do Why? What is the ihsan? إحسان أنت عبد الله كأنك تراه فإن لم تكن تراه فإنه يراك إحسان is to worship Allah سبحانه وتعالى as if you are seeing Him But if you are not seeing Him, He is seeing you So He is watching over what you are doing Do everything with ihsan So the aim of this series that we have started Is to urge women to be productive And women have the capabilities to impact this world To help, to care, to serve And they can do so By imitating those female companions Who had the blessings of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم To what they were doing So for Rufaida, she is the one who is taking care of the wounds The nurse, she is the surgeon And all of that was just a help to her world So women can follow the footsteps of the female companions And be guided by the light And by the legacy they left So we have to be proud of these female companions And we have to be in their footsteps So may Allah سبحانه وتعالى Have His mercy upon Rufaida Who was the best Muslim nurse So this was an apathetic nurse So she helped and she trained others to be like her So everyone would help this society So this is one of our female companions Who was one of the remarkable ladies Who سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم Was so proud of And was so supporting Moving on We would move now to talk about سيدنا ويس القرن سيدنا ويس رضي الله وعن Was born in the city of Ebb in Yemen And he lived during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم And although he lived during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم He never physically met him So he is not counted among the companions of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم Why? Because the companion by definition is someone who lived during the time of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم Who saw him صلى الله عليه وسلم even for a few seconds And who died as a Muslim So two of these conditions Two of these three conditions were actually fulfilled in the case of ويس القرن But the third one which is very important did not So he was at the time of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم And he died as a Muslim but he did not see Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم So for this سيدنا ويس is classified as a Tabi'a And I intended to talk today about him To end our series of companions with a Tabi'a But what Tabi'a The Tabi'a is a person who saw a Sahabi a companion of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم So he is a Tabi'a And he is known as حير التابعين The best of the Tabi'a He is also known as سيد التابعين في زماني The leader of the Tabi'a of his era So ويس grew up in Yemen And when he was very young his father died He therefore had to take care of his mother He also had leprosy And ويس with his devoted heart And sincere supplication to Allah سبحانه وتعالى He asked Allah سبحانه وتعالى to cure him And Allah سبحانه وتعالى Answered his Dua'a Allah said Ask me and I will answer your call So he asked sincerely that Allah سبحانه وتعالى would cure him So what happened? Allah سبحانه وتعالى cured him except for So Allah healed him and left just a coin-sized piece of this figured skin on his shoulder So every time ويس looked at this small patch He was reminded of God's favor to him And he would thank Allah سبحانه وتعالى And this is a big lesson for us So whenever you have a favor from Allah سبحانه وتعالى Remember to thank Allah سبحانه وتعالى سيدنا محمد Allah سبحانه وتعالى Said ولا انشكرتم لأزيدانكم If you thank me then I will increase my favors So this is what all pious people do We have something good we thank Allah سبحانه وتعالى And we always acknowledge that We do not know how to thank you We do not know how to thank you the way you deserve to be thanked So as I mentioned Waze took care of his mom After the death of his father And unfortunately she went blind And with this she became even more dependent on her son So Waze and the Prophet ﷺ never met Because Waze stayed in Yemen taking care of his mother So he sacrificed the chance of reaching the rank of companions Of the Prophet ﷺ And an effort to take care of his elderly mother Imagine this But despite this Prophet ﷺ mentioned Waze to a group of his companions Until they asked يا رسول الله are we going to meet him But he said no only Omar and Ali are going to meet him So in one of the gatherings He was talking about Sayyidina Waze And he said there is a man This is the words of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ So he said there is a man who will come to you from Yemen He comes from Murad The tribe of Quran And the Prophet went on talking about the leprosy That Waze had And how Allah ﷺ healed him Except for a coin size And he ﷺ mentioned Finished the description of Waze saying And he has a mother He treats her extremely well And he is obedient to her Then he said If Waze takes an oath by God God will surely honour that oath If you meet him This is looking to Sayyidina Omar If you meet him Ask him to seek forgiveness for you Now imagine Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ Telling Sayyidina Omar Ask this person to invoke Allah ﷺ For forgiveness Sayyidina Omar never forgot this advice And when he became the leader of the Muslims When he became the Khalifa of the Muslims Every year he would go out To meet those groups coming from Yemen To do the pilgrimage To perform Hajj And he ﷺ would ask Is Waze among you And the answer would be no And this continued for years and years and years And finally In one year Someone from Yemen Was asked by Sayyidina Omar Is Waze with you And that person looked at him At Sayyidina Omar Do you mean that man Who is taking care of the Shape and animals that we have We bring him with us So he said Yeah, he might be that person So Omar went straight to Waze To determine if he was The Waze that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ And he asked him Are you Waze القرن And he said yes Omar continued From مراد the type of the Qur'an He said yes And Omar then asked Were you once afflicted with Liperacy and your skin healed Except for an area of your shoulder The size of a coin And Waze said yes And Omar finally asked Do you have a mother That you respect, honor and take care of And he said yes Then Omar explained to Waze That the Prophet advised him To ask Waze To seek forgiveness from God For him So Waze did And he asked Sayyidina Omar That Allah سبحانه وتعالى He asked Sayyidina Omar To ask Allah for forgiveness He was so humble So now The meeting ended Finished And Sayyidina Waze was heading to Kufa Sayyidina Omar told him Shall I write a letter To the governor Of Kufa So that he would help you And he said no I prefer I want to be anonymous He doesn't want to be known He wants to keep his Relationship with Allah And with Sayyidina Muhammad Though he hasn't seen him He wanted to keep that secret Now Imagine Imagine how important To be good to the parents Sayyidina Waze Did not meet Sayyidina Muhammad Because he didn't want to leave His mother And go to To see Sayyidina Muhammad He was taking care of her When he had the chance To go to see Sayyidina Muhammad He practiced his stuff But he got the news That Sayyidina Muhammad Passed away So imagine how important To be good to the parents In ayat 23 In Surah Al-Isra Allah SWT Show us clearly How our relation To our parents should be He says In the name of Allah Allah SWT وقداربك إلا إياه بالوالدين إحسانا إما يبلغن عندك الكبار أحدهما أوكلاهما فلا تقول لهما أفن ولا تنهرهما وقول لهما قولا كريمة وقداربك إلا إياه وقداربك And to parents Good treatment و بالوالدين إحسانا You have to be good to your parents إما يبلغن عندك الكبار Whether one or both of them Reach old age while with you Say not to them أفن Imagine how this word is It has three letters أمزة فا أفن So if they ask you for something And say I will do it later You have so many requests أفن Even this word Do not say it And do not repel them But speak to them A noble word This is the way That Allah SWT Has to deal with our parents There are many ayahs in the Quran That shows the children How to take care of their parents How to respect them To be kind to them To say nice words to them But there is not a single ayah To direct parents To be good to their children Why? Because the children Sometimes forget And sometimes Feel that Their parents are way too old Fashion school Their ideas are old They are not up to date And they start to have Ill feelings towards their parents Especially When the parents get old When they get sick They would be so frustrated That they are taking care of them They are taking their time They cannot fulfill They cannot do their jobs And they would not be able To take care of them So what do they do? They put them in nursing homes In aging homes Is this the word That the parents deserve When they get older? Don't the children know That one day they will get old And the children Their children Would do the same to them Life is but a wheeling chair It's a turning wheel So normally Children Would wake up After it's too late After the parents die They would feel sorry They would feel that they have not Fulfilled their duties To their parents They would wish That they were better children To their parents Now the parents are dead Does this mean that Children are done? No More duties Are there towards them Until The child himself die The duty towards the parents Is still there Is still their duty But it will be of a different type In their graves The parents would be waiting For the Doha of their children So This would be a valuable gift From the children To their parents after their death Doha If the son of Adam dies If the son of Adam dies And the son of Adam dies The son of God The son of God A righteous child That makes Doha It might not be just A child If they don't have children But someone who loves them Makes Doha So makes Doha You need to be of this category محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم Said about He said The righteous A good child That would make Doha For the deceased parents Do a continuous charity for them Help With building a masjid Help digging a well Help teaching People Quran So help by giving some money When you help with building a masjid Even if it's just Very little amount you are giving Have the intention That this This reward Would be for the sake of my parents And the list Is endless of the good deeds That you can do To reward your parents after their death So if you failed them While they were alive You can still do something beneficial For them while they are in their graves Be good to your parents Whether they are alive Or dead Why sacrificed That chance of reaching To the rank of companions of the Prophet In effort to take care of His elderly mother Do not belittle This role of you Towards your parents Treat them The way you want your children To treat you when you get older So this is how Ways took care of his mother And there are many traditions And stories about Ways All of them Highlight his humbleness And simple living And reading the stories Of Ways Proved us to ask ourselves How did Ways attain Such a high status That even the companions Were told To seek forgiveness from him To ask Allah For forgiveness For them How did he attain this position How is he elevated So to this high station Two reasons The first one Was beautiful to his mother And he also suffered So the second reason He suffered From a chronic condition That severely affected His life But he was patient So Two things you can do To be elevated Be good to your parents And be patient And thank Allah For all afflictions That you have in life Life Is nothing but a test We have to be patient And we have to pass this test We trust In Allah So that The reward will be so high In the day after So Ways Was always known To be devoted To be the most devoted Biased Muslim He had immense love To Allah And to Prophet Muhammad So He earned This high Position And he earned The praise of Sayyidina Muhammad When he said رب أشعة أغبر مدفوع بالأبواب لو أقصم على الله لأبر Many a person with Dishelved her Untidy her Dusty And driven away from doors Because of his poverty And because of his shabby clothes Where to swear By Allah That something would happen And Allah Will certainly make it happen This was Sayyidina Ways So When we have a close relation To Sayyidina Muhammad We would be like Ways القرن He believed in Sayyidina Muhammad He did not see him We believed In Sayyidina Muhammad And we did not see him He was On the right path Of Sayyidina Muhammad And we ask Allah SWT To always guide us To be on the path Of Sayyidina Muhammad And we ask Allah SWT To strengthen our bond With Sayyidina Muhammad And To be Those whom he Sayyidina Muhammad Want to be in this dunya He wants us to be Of good characters Of good manners And he promised He said to us أقربكم مني مجلسان يوم القيامة أحاسينكم أخلاقا The closest of you to me On the day of judgment Are those who have good manners So we asked Allah SWT To Guide us To have good manners To show us The way of being Of those who have The good manners So this was Sayyidina Waysra And at the end I say that The character of Ways Is a character that Every believer Should strive to emulate Ways Karli's story Sets an example For all the Muslims As how even Without meeting Sayyidina Muhammad One may stay Earn Allah's favor And his pleasure One can stay Connected to Allah And to his prophet So this is What With this character With this female With this male companion That we talked about today This would be the last session Of this series In which we talked about Male and female companions Of Sayyidina Muhammad And we ended With a Tabi'a Someone who did not see Sayyidina Muhammad But he is praised by Sayyidina Muhammad So all these characters That we covered Are amazing examples Of the true Muslim characters That every believer Should strive to emulate So their stories were not stories What we covered was To have Some good time Reading stories No We learn from the lessons Of this story We learn from them And these stories Are just to enlighten Our path Just to show us That if we follow the path That the companions Followed Then we will be With Sayyidina Muhammad So their stories And the lessons we learned From them Are to enlighten our path And to help us Be of those whom Allah SWT Said about them In many positions In the Quran رضي الله الله is pleased with them And they are pleased with him الله is pleased Of their Allah is pleased with their Actions With what they did Allah is pleased with them For their being pious Honest Truthful For having good manners And in turn They are pleased with Allah SWT When they When they Will Enjoy the unlimited Reward and blessings That Allah SWT Bestows on them On the day after What he has prepared for them In the second eternal life They are pleased with that So we want to be Of this group We want to be of these people Whom Allah is pleased with them And we want to Raise generation That would be coolness Of an eye to Sayyidina Muhammad So with this I thank you all For attending and for listening To this series And I ask you all To include me and my family May Allah SWT Accept from all of us And make all our deeds Sincere and pure For his sake May Allah SWT Always enlighten our path And our hearts And may Allah Give us The best of ending And may Allah SWT Sayyidina Muhammad And his family And peace And all he will break it
