 As-Salaamu Alaykum everybody, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah wa-salaat wa-salaam wa-ala Ashraf al-Anbiya'i wa-al-Muqsereen Sayyidina, Wa-Mawlana wa-Hadeeb al-Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam, wa-al-Ali wa-sallam wa-sallam, just for you know, thank you so much for being here, it's a weekend, Saturday and we kind of took a little bit of a gamble doing this event on this night but we're so happy to see so many people here and for those of you who are on the live stream welcome as well. I am having the distinct honor of co-teaching this class today with a dear sister and friends that I've known for many many years. I won't age us right now, so I won't give you the number, but I've known her for a long time. So I'm going to introduce her as she'll be starting the class, inshallah, and I'm going to read from her bio, inshallah. So Teacher Syrah Abubakir has studied the sacred sciences primarily under the following teachers, sheikh Hamza Yusuf, sheikh Muhammad Yaqubi, sheikh Khatri Uddaba, sheikh Salih Dinsitina, sheikh Saman Nass, Iman Zaid Shakir, sheikh Yahya Rodis, sheikh Shaisa Maqbool, and sheikh Faraz Al-Abbani. In Akhida she studied the following texts, Akhida Tahawiyah, Jauhara, and Ummal Farahin, Farahin, I apologize if I mispronounced that. In Malgi Fiqh, she's a study of the Akhdaadi, Ibn Asher, Risala, and Muqtas Al-Khalil. She also, she's also studied texts on the Shamayah of the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, hadith terminology, purification of the heart, the rites of parents, and other texts in Arabic, English, and English as it's been instituted here with California since 1997. In 2000 she attended an eight-month Arabic intensive program at the Fajr and B1 centers in Cairo, Egypt to study grammar and rhetoric, and in 2008 she completed a B.S. in Islamic studies strongly to the college, the seminary there at that time with the director, Ibn Asher Shakir. In 2010 she returned from Syria where she had spent two years furthering her studies in Akhida, Fajr, Arabic, and Hajri with Umseh Maria, and where she attended classes taught by Sheikh Muhammad al-Yakubi and many other distinguished scholars. She currently continues to teach secular and traditional Islamic subjects to children and adults in private and public settings, online and in person, masha'Allah. And there's much more we can say about the Sadaf Sairah, but we'll go ahead and begin for those again who are tuning in. This is a class on the miracles of the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the format for this class will be story telling. And that's one of her masha'Allah, which is Sairah's many many strengths. So look forward to hearing from her. So this class is, most of the teachers, one of the things I realized after I came to Syria, one of the things Sheikh Muhammad al-Yakubi used one of our teachers, he mentioned, he said, you know, people, everybody loves one's stories, and two people love, like, supernatural, they like, you know, writings of the norm, they like stuff that's, you know, not everyday life, people watching Star Wars and things like that. He's like, how people's stories about the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, so that, you know, people want to actually want to be in the Sadaf Sairah. And I remember one of Imam Mahdi's teachers, one of my teachers was saying that one of his, like, he had 600 teachers, one of his teachers, when Imam Mahdi would go to him, he would just close the blinds and he would talk to him about the early community. And so Imam Mahdi was a follower of the followers. So his teacher, he would just, he would close the blinds and he would just talk to him about the early communities and just stories about the early communities and he would just cry. And so it attached Imam Mahdi's heart to the early community. And that's one of the reasons they said he became who he was. Of course, all the other things that Imam Mahdi was known for were that his heart was attached to the people. You know, Lotana could have sent us the messages directly, but there's a reason he sent us the best of creation, right? And there's a reason that Saha'u'llah, they said, one of the things they said about the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they said, we loved him more than cold water on a hot day when we were dying of thirst. And sometimes I think about that, I just can't imagine what that's like. You know, and for us, how we equate that is, okay, if I'm really hungry or I'm really thirsty, you know, or I just want to grab a drink while I go against the Sunnah, like how much do I love the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you know, is it, and for me that's my measure, you know, we were, it was not decree for us to live during the time of the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and that's a mercy too. Because the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, my life is good for you and my death is good for you, right, and part of the longer journey. And so, that's a gauge of us, you know, okay, in every situation there is something that the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would do, that would be the best thing to do for that situation. So I'm really, you know, if I'm flat, fed and I'm clothed and I'm feeling good and I want to follow the Sunnah, you know, that's not, that's like, okay, well, I'm a Muslim and I'm doing it. How much do I need to love the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam so that I love them, you know, I love them more than anybody else, right? That's, that's the gauge of that. So, so there's an ayah in the Quran that I used, some of the Seerah scholars, they will use it, they say, it starts with, So, Muhammad, we tell you the stories of the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to make your heart, and the italics are from me, your heart firm and in these accounts, truth has come to you as lessons and reminders So your heart, and that's the heart of the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that was, that Allah says to make firm your heart with stories and his heart was washed how many times, at least four times there is sound narrations, right? It was washed by zones of water and still Allah says that we tell you stories, lessons and reminders to make firm your heart. So as it fit, they'll say bimbal bi'olam, being the Prophet's stronger, that we should hear stories to make our, to make our hearts, hearts stronger. So if you're feeling like, you know, well, I want to practice it, I want to practice the D, but I, you know, I just don't feel the him, and as Krala, when I was in the, in the assembly program and I know one of the other brothers, probably a lot of people were doing this, is when you would get tired of, you know, I love, I really am a thick person and I like the, then I like the hard sciences, but they're still, they're, they're strong. She also said that, I'm saying that you'll be who's the head angel, he's strong, he's like translated to choleric strong. So it gets strong, right? And it's, it's, it's draining to the maps. So we would pick up Sita, we never get tired of Sita, it's quite a lot. So whatever you're studying, whatever it is, if you're with kids, whatever it is, just whatever you get tired, always go back to Sita. And like one of the sheikhs said, he said, if you've got, you should always be reading something about the Prophet Salaam, whatever else you're doing in your life. So if you do Sita, and then you take a break, go back to Khasai, Khasai's are special trains of the Prophet Salaam, that weren't given to anybody else. If you get tired of Khasai's, go to the Shemaitan. One of the things Shersai, one of my main, 90th-century teachers and taught it to an institute for, for some time, he said we need to tell people about the description of the Prophet Salaam. So I said, it's fine, he's been one teacher, I feel he can read my lines. And I feel whatever he, like things he'll say to me, just out of the blue, I'm like, it's fine, I really should be doing that. So, so he says, you know, read Sina, do Shemaitan, do Khasai's, that should be like your, like until we die, we should be doing that. So that we never forget about the Prophet Salaam. Okay, so these are some slides that I did, part of the Sina class at the Lighthouse, and I had made these slides from, from Sheikh Sadaf, and also who actually came here. He's one of the reading kind of, he picks ours. And I got, I was blessed to study with him in Syriac's Qalamah, and one of the things he said is that, up till the age of 18, all of whom you will see are here. And I was, I was amazed, because by the time we started studying with him, he was, I think he said he's in the sixties now, so when I was studying with him in ten years, he was always in his fifties. I was amazed at how much, I mean he's a Hanafi fi scholar, and he teaches at Ma'ala-l-Fat, which is the main Hanafi fi institute. He knew so much about the other madhyah, and he says he feels that the things he got in the other madhyah is because of his knowledge of Sina. Because, and you can't love, if you don't, you know, and I say I love you, and you're like, um, you don't really even know me, maybe you really got to know me, you wouldn't really like me that much, right? And so, just his knowledge of the Prophet Salaam is so incredible. When I came back, I mean he came about a few times, I came back right before the war started, and he came a hundred lives blessed, when he came out a few times to the East Coast, and he did Sida sessions, like, like it was Sida for several days, and he wrote like from the Prophet Salaam's birth after he went to the Rafiqa island. It was amazing. And he would just go. And he said, you know, as far as a lot of people know, I want me to teach other subjects, and I'll get bored after a while. When he said this, he said, if you do Sida, I can just go, and you can go as far as a lot. And so that's his love, and he's been giving amazing openings. So one of the things he said, he said, if you want openings in one's life, study the Sida. And he said, a famous scholar said, Imam al-Awzai, who was a traditional scholar from the past, his knowledge was strong in Sunnah, like the practice of the Sunnah, but not in Hadid. Not in the signs of Hadid. So he knew one, not the other. And it was vice versa for Imam Sufyan al-Thuvi, who also had, he had his own mother, right? But Imam Malik, who is right under, one of the four Malahia facts come to us in an unbroken chain, he knew both, he knew the Sunnah, and he knew Hadid. And so they say he combined both of them, and he had intense love for the Prophet. So when he saw, I think Shaykh al-Saniq had told me, Imam Malik would see the Prophet in the dream every night. Sometimes people, when they think of feq, they don't think of, they don't think how much, like Imam Hanifa, Imam Malik, how much they loved, this was out of love for the Prophet, so that was one of their, like, vibe, as they say in Arabic, what motivated them. Like Imam Malik, he wouldn't even, he would go outside his, what is the Masjid right now, that was all of Medina during the Prophet's own time. He would not use the restroom there, and he wouldn't walk barefoot in that area, and it gets really hot there, and so those of you that have been there, it gets really hot, and that's just love, trauma. So Imam Malik was given both. And the other thing he's, you know, which is, I sometimes think about, there's this hadid that whatever you're busy with in this life, there's a process I was working on, I said whatever you like here, you're going to do there. So whatever you're busy with in this life, you're going to be doing there. And one of the Sahabahs asked, are there horses in general, some of the life horses, right? He said yes, with wings, and, you know, is there agriculture there that Ansar would know for agriculture, right? So whatever you're busy with, whatever's in your heart, right? That's what you're busy with in the Prophet's own time, Imam Malik. Ahab, a man is with the one he loves. So I was saying, he quoted this hadid, that whatever you like to do here, you're going to be there. So Allah, make us busy whatever you're doing. Make time to learn about the Prophet's and teach the people around you. Sometimes it can be indirect, sometimes people don't want to hear it directly. And it's quite a lot. Any class I've done, as long as I've told stories in the class, it's quite a lot. I did a lot of children's stories, classes, and, you know, I was to teach them problem, and I was like, you know, Allah is at the age of iPhones and age of iPads, and so when I came back from Syria, I thought, okay, if I was a child, how would I want, what class would I want to sit in to actually want to come back to the class on a Sunday and not go to school? So I would do these sort of, they were really good classes with a lot of stories. And it's quite a lot of mothers would say, you know, my child has a career, a lot of new classes. And it wasn't only, it was just, you know, connecting the hearts through the Prophet's. So I would look at them and when I would see them, okay, well, I think they're getting a little tired. And I would often, generally have a lot of stories prepared to where that was always, you know, that was always there. It's quite a lot. So, and then the Prophet's, one of the things he said towards the end of his life, he said, so he said, I will be a forerunner for you. The follow-up is, they would travel to caravans. And so the follow-up was usually the person that would get ahead of the caravan and you would go to the next station, right, and from some of this, they get like the travel distance and all that, how much more often they would travel. In so many days. So the follow-up was the one who would get ahead and he would prepare the space for the caravan, set up the tents and things like that. So the Prophet, some of the last time, said, I will be a forerunner for you. I'm your forerunner. Meaning, I'm getting ahead of you and I'll be a witness over you. And I'll make it so that he bears witness for us and not against us. And he said, I swear by Allah, and the Prophet's always never know to have life even before he got prophecy. They would say when the Prophet's son would come, he would say, Jahl, Amin. They have an Amin. So Allah, he said, the Amin has come and the Amin is the trustworthy. And so the trustworthy said, I swear by Allah, I'm looking at my pool and my home right now. And that's a miracle. I'm looking at my home right now. And I have been truly granted the keys to the storehouses of the earth, which in itself has a lot of you. Who has the keys? The Prophet's son was alive and was great, right? And he said, all the Prophets are alive and great. And he said, I've been truly given the keys to the storehouses of the earth, which is one of the, one of the ishada indications from this, scholars will take that. If you want openings, like Shalsam, and mentioned like if you want openings to other things, you go through them. The Prophet's son, it's out of your love for him and your knowledge of him. And he said, if there is truly, I swear by Allah I do not fear that you are associate partners with Allah. And I feel, I don't want to be reported, but I feel it's even more relevant to us today. Why? Because you know, a lot of people, there's a lot of throwing around that shift this and shift that. And it's actually a really great word. And people really need to be careful because if somebody's calling somebody, most should they're saying that they're not, they're not mostly bad. That's really scary because it means their actions are all modified. And I'm not expecting he has to go back or she has to go ahead again and all that. And the Prophet's son sweeps and I swear by Allah that I don't fear that you are. I swear by Allah, I don't fear that you're associate partners with me. After me. However, what was his fear, some of us? I fear that we'll compete with each other in worldly affairs. Right? And it doesn't mean not having the dunya in the hands, right? But it means having the dunya in the heart. Like the Habayt will say that I don't want to have the dunya in my heart I want to have the dunya in my hands and don't put it in our heart. And our hearts and the dunya doesn't have to be just material because actually it could be if we love a position wanting to be first to go in the room and challenge and all that because I need to go in it. You know what I mean? Like, oh, you know, I just, that one upmanship and it's not for, there's no benefit in it. It's just, it has only worldly benefit. And that was the Prophet's lesson was fair for us. Right? And so he said and so he, and he will be waiting for us at the hole then he told the Sahaba I'll be waiting for you at the hole. And there will be people that, another hadith mentioned that there will be angels whom will shoo that might not make us from them. Some of the the people with the promise they're his own idea say hello my lady, hello my lady, come to me, come to me. And the angels will say you don't know what they did after you and Sahaba and Safqa will not make us from them. You know, he said go away, go away. And the only way especially, you know, within this day and age is to hold to hold on to the deal is by love and the only way for us to be really rooted in love is to know the Prophet's lesson and that's like a constant thing because there's a hadith I don't know how strong in Shef Usaba, Nebahani's book He was a colleague in Shef Mahaliyakgy and he mentioned his book Shef Mahaliyakgy he said, tell stories from his book and they say that Shef Usaba, Nebahani's book on the Marjizad I didn't bring it but I showed you this book it's the single book that has the most miracles England Book of the Prophet's lesson and they say that the wird's lesson has 6,000 documented, It's a lot of all the miracles that are not documented I think it's I see nice, I say nice is one of the five greatest Right, it's profit so I say nice 5 years profits and so according to the great as they're also going to have the greatest Right so It is to learn Yeah, the one most worthy of my company is one, okay, if you want to be with me, say, if you look at the bottom here, if you want to be with me in the year after, yeah, Abukuraira, Abukuraira Asura, what is he known for? He's most narrow-eachers, right? He is the most prolific, he's narrow-eachers. Anything would be riding on the floor from hunger, because when he wanted to go to work, he went to the Hadid, the Prophet said for him not to do that, because the Prophet could see who was appropriate for what, so he was studying full-time, and that's for some people and not for other people. And so they would think he had epileptic fits, but it was from his hunger pains, and that was a sacrifice he made. And still, the Prophet told him, if you want to be with me, Abukuraira, three things he told them, Shauq Illa Illa Illa, like you're yearning for me, Shauq was like, it's very deep yearning, and following my son now, again, it goes back to loving him, because if you're hungry, you're like, oh, my right hand's not clean, you know, but if there's a lot of love, then, you know, it still wants to do it, even though that monster is something else. And the third thing was he said, to say no, Abukuraira, is doing a lot of sleight of honor. And one of the sisters whom we know really, really well, but she told me that she knows someone. They did the Lail Khairat. The Lail Khairat is one of the three most well-read books that Shalma Maliaf probably was saying in the Musa'uma until the colonization, it was 1500 years ago. And Imam al-Jazuli, I don't know if you guys went to that room where he was, Imam al-Jazuli was Shalqamzat, like one of the early Urahahs, and he took them to where Imam al-Jazuli was a man, he's scholar, and he did khairat for 14 years in Rome, which is in Morocco, it's in Qalawini, which is in the oldest university. He wrote that book on, and it's on during his khairat for 14 years, and it's called the Lail Khairat. And it's full of Salawat, there's a Salawat section for every day. And it was one of the most widely read, what are the three most widely read, so it was the Lail Khairat, the Burda, and the Shifa of Qadi Iriyya. And the Shifa has to do with, it has to do with the rights of the Prophet Salatana. Prophet Salatana has rights upon this Qamma. And those are the three most widely read books. And if you notice, none of them are, none of these three books are. There's no Hadith in here, right? Why because Hadith books were traditionally for whom? They're for the scholars, right? So they sit from these, the Oma generally reading one of these three books, and they had chairs, like the chair in the, you know, the scholar's system came from where? It came from the east. The Java system led to the bachelors, the degree system, right? And the chair, they would have a kursi, so they would have an adablet for, for example, okay, this person would leave money and say, I just want, this money is for anybody who comes and who's going to read the laiqat, or who's going to read, going to teach the Shifa al-Qawiyat. So people were just, this was all they would do. And so they were saying that there was so much Rahma that came down upon the Oma, that it would, from the Salawat that were being done, because even when you're doing, like if you're reading the Shifa al-Qawiyat and you're reading about the rights of the Prophet, there's a lot of Rahma that will come down. And so it would ward off a lot of tribulation. So, and if we look at how much tribulation there is in the Oma now, and a lot of Qawiyat, but they've left, we've left these three books, that's really important. So, if you want to be with me, they're here after, ya al-Qurayah, three things, show, you had your button, following my sunnah, which again, if you don't know him, it's hard to follow his sunnah. Otherwise sometimes it's like, okay, I'm just going to do my follow-up and the Salawat, upon it. And the Salawat, where the sister I mentioned earlier, she said she knows somebody who does Qalai al-Qawiyat, that they do khutamat regularly. She said he has so much love for the Prophet Salah, so he's in Morocco. And she told me the story. She said one day, she said, I was going to travel to Morocco, and I lost my passport. She said I lost my passport and I was looking for it for hours and I was supposed to travel the next day. And she said that we, so I called this brother and I said, it was 20 years ago, and she said I called him and I said, see, I lost my passport, and he said, okay, just call me in so many minutes. No, he said I'll call you. He called me from the people and he did some Salat and Dua and he said, say Ameen. And she said, I said Ameen, I went home and I found my passport, it wasn't trashed. And Salat, so he is for the people who's Dua is most of the job. He's Dua's entry. She said he's not a scholar which for people like that they would know, like the base, they would know their father and son, they would know Baha'u'llah, they would know purification, they would know their prayer, they would know what breaks their prayer. It's like thought about what you need in your daily life so that your worship is valid. They would know that. And then all of a sudden, she just talked about how much of love he had. And it's an amazing character and that's an easy way to get the character of Prophet Salat is just doing a lot of Salawat and it's like a very, very easy way to follow. Okay. So the other thing that Salat said, he talked about a story, he said he narrates a hadith and I felt this hadith. He said whoever's absent from an event and is pleased with it and they were absent from a lot of decree for us to be with the Prophet's Muslim but we're pleased with it. It's as if he attended. Right? And whoever attended the event they were there, they were in the Prophet's time and hated it. It's as if he is not on a path of that gathering. So if we read about the Seedah and we would love to be there that it's as if until it gets written as if we were actually there. But we and Allah left the homes of those first early classes with us. He did the Seedah. You know it didn't matter he was talking about that. He said you know wherever he just went he would just go teach. He didn't care like he said a few people care and whatever. He would just go and that's intense love. Jefferson has intense love and I was like he would just cry. I don't think I've ever ever seen a Roman product like you hear about it in the books and stuff and actually he was in love he had. He started, he did Seedah. We had one day when he would do on Saturdays we would do Arabic and on Sundays we would do purification of the heart and Seedah for the like it was the lighter day. And I remember reading Martin Wings and he also did Shemai. And I remember reading Martin Wings like that. I cried so much it just opens the heart. I don't know. And the part of some is important this is part of a bigger Hadith Long Hadith. Washoq same group as the last Hadith that would say Nahubedah. Washoq ila ikhwani. Washoqa ila ikhwani. How much I yearn from my ikhwan and sisters don't think we're not in there where the washoqa yearn for us before we were even brought into his world. He yearn for us. There's no wajam there's no exaggeration about someone he was told he was asked who was the most beloved to you he said Aisha right and it was a male Sahabi asked him he said he said He didn't say Nahubedah he said her father and so he said how much I yearn for my brothers and sisters and so we should give that yearn for that right? That's why we have to read about him several times Say the Hadith who was one of the Sahaba and he was known as he was sent to an Arab tribe in the process of calling them to Islam and they actually accepted Islam and he began teaching them once they accepted Islam in class they would just start teaching them and forgive us for all the callers we haven't taught he began teaching them and they asked him to describe the prophets on some so this is Shemaitan they wanted to hear about and describe them and he said um should I go into details or be brief right? because that's fake Nahubedah if I go too long and the audience wants a shorter session the next time they won't be they said do you want details or be brief he said be brief he said the messenger is in accordance with the one of the old the messenger is in accordance with the one who was sent and there's there's a hadith it may not be very strong but in meaning I feel it's strong that only Allah knows me but the process I'm out of out of his mercy and there's I don't have that hadith in front of me but Sayyidna Omar who's the greatest even in the Sahaba there are ranks like after Sayyidna Omar but it was Sayyidna Omar who was the very Sahab he said Yaw Rasulullah if you're not sad except like your level you wouldn't have sat with us or married people except your love you wouldn't have married from us but the process I'm sad with him just out of his humility there's a woman who came and she started shaking they say in the description of the process he had this heba that he was very beautiful the most beautiful ever more beautiful than Sayyidna Yusuf the process was even all of it Sayyidna Yusuf was given half of that but the process was mixed with his heba his awe inspired so that it was a protection for people because we don't want people just falling dropping in front of the process there was some mercy that was sort of male so this woman came and she started shaking in the one of the Sahab was like Yaw Rasulullah she said take it easy you know I'm the son of a woman who eats dried meat right all the process some of the shaman they know they have no meat that says the process of eating they can eat the smaller okay and then Mahua so this is also the importance of love Mahua Deenu what else is Deen illa khubban illa wa mughdan illa he said what is the Deen when the Arabs talk about it this way the Deen is only in it's primarily love for the sake of Allah and hate for the sake of Allah right a thing in Allah is important but the love has to be there and that helps the practice of Allah that helps the practice of Allah is having love and love is loving each other for the sake of Allah and loving the practice of Allah and the Sahab in the early community for the sake of Allah and some of the later Muslims they ask or they ask I don't know what they ask maybe some of the after them they ask how is it saying that I am inherited so much from the prophets amongst you so they were probably they were talking to the Sahabah and they were asking about Sayyidina Adam how is it that Sayyidina Adam was known as the Nor too to knowledge so how is it that Sayyidina Adam has so much from all of you Sayyidina Adam inherited so much from the prophets they said he was the first amongst us to join him he was a boy he was the first boy to join the prophets he was the first amongst us to join him and the most what did they say the most attached to him the most attached to him Allah and again Allah didn't decree for us to be there but remember that's a mercy that's a mercy because they had a lot more responsibility also and Shehzad there so many times when he would taste you I would say there was a shortage of clothes there was a shortage of food in fact you know I used to think when he first did Seedah I don't know I used to have this misconception that once the Sahabah migrated it was all fine and it was safe and Shehzad was saying they still used to walk around they would sleep with their swords it was so unsafe even in Medina and because Medina had these patches because people would live in tribes and people were living with their families so you could have a Sahabi living with his hypocrite brother the Prophet's son in fact there was a young Sahabi who was known to have a lot of love he was known as Baha for the Prophet's son like he would follow the Prophet's son he had intense love he was very young and the Prophet's son this is prophecy also he said to his family he said when he was dying tell me about him because the Prophet's son wanted to come and visit him and Baha when he was dying he was dying in the night and this is how much love he had for Baha when he was dying if you have that opportunity he said don't tell him about because it's not safe he was worried that the Prophet's son would definitely come to see him and he was worried that something would happen to him just between the remember all of Medina is what's all of the Masjid now that in between something would happen to him so he died that night and they told him Sahelah said the next morning and he said and he made this Qalha and he said you meet Qalha and he is you are laughing at him meaning you are pleased with him and he is pleased with you and that was like intense love that and he was a young Sahabi in fact in the scene that they say that there were some we know the Masjid alone that they migrated to Medina and Ansad were the helpers of Medina there were people in Sida at some of the books they mentioned there were some people who were Mohajid and Ansad they were both because they were Ansad but when the Prophet's son was in Medina they actually went to Medina and they stayed with them despite how difficult it was in Medina I mean to me Muslim in Medina you are just risking your life you torture to be maimed to be put under the hot sun and to be burned and to be called maims and then when the Prophet's son migrated back when he migrated they migrated with him they were Mohajid and Ansad that's that they would risk their lives for him and they went to Medina so now we get to the point so what is a miracle in Arabic when you say it's actually an al-qaida term and it's an action for the sake of Allah that's done for the sake of Allah or it's the leaving of something this is why we can't do this life the leaving of something for the sake of Allah so the first if something happens for the sake of Allah would be the gushing of the water from between the Prophet's blessed fingers and one of these things even if you look at a lot of the miracles of the Prophet's son of Allah they have a lot of mercy in that miracle for example the gushing of the water so one of the times there were many different miracles about the gushing of the water they were running out of water or they'd be very very thirsty and sometimes they came crying where out of water and the water would come where hungry they don't have any food so even if you look at the miracles there are a lot of them because the Prophet's son was sent as a mercy his miracles are a reflection of his mercy and so his blessed hands the water gushing between and the Prophet's son didn't lift his fingers out of his humility he left his fingers down below just to show that he was how humble he was so that's an actual miracle that's an absence the regular of the norm is an absence of something happen so normally fire will it's going to burn it did not burn that's why Sunni Al-Nida is that so when I move my hand Allah Ta'ala Allah Ta'ala actually created the action the Sunni Al-Nida is that I don't create my actions but when I make the intention like all I'm responsible for is the inclination in the heart I say okay I want to move my hand Allah Ta'ala creates the action in my hand and so lafala lafala lafala sometimes I can make the intention and it does not move it doesn't negate the muscles and all that that's the out word but Allah Ta'ala creates all our actions and this is mentioned in ayah al-akram so that's what the morgiza is who does the morgiza happen to and it defies the laws of this world as placed by Allah or they call sunnah turqon like there's a sunnah that Allah has there's laws in this earth gravity and things like that I'm not going to fly that's the norm so the miracles will defy the sunnah that Allah has placed on this earth but it occurs in the hands of prophecy so if they occur in the hands of somebody who's a righteous person but they're not a prophet they're called something else otherwise they're not called a morgiza okay so otherwise they could either be called a karama there's actually a there's eight in the category I listed some of them actually this is really important because Allah Ta'ala can give the rankings of the norm to people that are not righteous like the ja'a will be given rankings of the norm things will happen, Allah will give him make certain things happen that are not the norm but they're not called morgiza so all you could have a karama that's the next level which happens to a righteous person but they're not a prophet and it's watching for us to believe in karama this is part of the affidavit we have to believe in karama we may not believe in a specific karama it just depends on the strength and the narration the whole we have to that's part of the belief to believe in karama or in the norm that's called marwana and it can happen to a person we don't know if they're righteous or not they could be a believer but we don't know we just write that out word but they're not a non-muslim so they're called morgiza or there's istedraj which for example like happens to the ja'a it's not it's a test for people it's time that people will chain their families so that they don't actually go to the ja'a that's how much of a fitna it will be that people will be young or don't let my family go they'll chain them so that they don't go because once they go it's a test or it could be an ihana ihana it's like a something that happens to belittle the person but it happens to the person who's claiming prophecy there are several people most of the men but there are some women who claim to prophecy during the prophecy of some's life for example, wusayn al-kadab the liar but he will make claims and the opposite will happen for example he would wipe he wiped the head of someone in the process someone wiped he wiped the forehead abu mahadura abu mahadura was known to be a beautiful voice in the process someone wiped his forehead and abu mahadura did a lot of forelock work and it never became all his other hair became gray but that forelock didn't grow he used to tie it in the turban but he just let it grow because he didn't want to cut that area and so wusayn al-kadab did that the person might fall so that's the opposite or the process someone had put his blessed saliva in a well and the well water became sweet so wusayn al-kadab did the same thing the water became bitter so things like that, so that's called ihan that would be called al-mujiz and there's others, there's sehid and things like that al-mujiz al-mula ibn Zaid was a hypocrite so a hypocrite is someone who is calling somebody who is outwardly they're calling they say the shahada but inwardly they're they're not muslim so they're the worst problem they're the worst problem people to be, because at least if they're not muslim you know where they stand so in Medina in Mecca they had the problem of the bushikun but in Medina they had hypocrites they wanted to go in, they wanted to hear what was happening they wanted to go into the mustah they would go pray with the prophet but iman hadn't entered their hearts and the prophet was judged he was told to command by the outward warah yadaw al-sara'id so al-sara'id so Allah judges by the inward so he came to the prophet and he said he said he came and sat before the prophet this was very great Allah he said faith is here, he pointed to his heart faith is here he pointed to his chest which is the place of the heart and we thought this here hypocrisy is giving on the tongue and and he said I only remember Allah a little I flipped those so faith should be faith is on the tongue we thought this here I flipped those I think I flipped it I think I flipped it and he said I only remember Allah a little which is a sign of it and he was just really worried about that and so the prophet said he was excited because he was judged to just go by the outward faith is on the tongue meaning I talk about this song and I put people's tongue but in the heart there's no faith the prophet said he was persistent because he wanted to improve me and he believed what he said and the prophet took the tip of totalist tongue and he said oh Allah make his tongue truthful his heart grateful and give him love of me and love of the one who loves me and changes of her to what is best you know I have so many stories from Allah that's why when it was I asked for the google document I was like oh man I don't know where to start my class was so scattered and so I sat today and I started just organizing things and I didn't know where to start from Allah and one of the things that struck me about this hadith is the prophet said he gave me brand new love of me because if there's love it just goes and that's the reason it's just really important to learn about the prophet and grant him love of me and the love of the one who loves me Allah and changes of her to what is best he said he pointed to his heart he said my heart and my heart and my faith is on my tongue and the prophet was silent and after all of that when it was Allah I had brothers he said I was I had brothers so he wanted to hide from his brothers he said I was like the head Allah should I not lean you to them and the prophet didn't want that because why outwardly there there would be Muslim so he didn't want to remove the veils of people he didn't want to just outwardly he was saying Muslim, Allah is the Muslim and that's so important Allah the one who comes to us as you came to us we seek forgiveness from it forgiveness for you and what now and the one who is persistent upon saying Allah is more worthy like you know we don't remove the veils of anybody even if he may have known but Allah had you know command by that he just loved that and they say that he was the head of the bookrit so when Allah Ibn Ubaib what's the name of the head of the bookrit Abdullah Ibn Ubaib Abdullah Ibn Ubaib what's the name of the head of the bookrit anyway the head of the bookrit when he died his son Abdullah Ibn Ubaib enjoyed their work Abdullah huh? Abdullah Ibn Ubaib anyway the head of the bookrit when he died the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam gave him gave his son who was a Sahabi his shirt, his own shirt Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam that he'd been wearing to bury this hypocrite in and they say there's different reasons why the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam did that there's one reason they say it was because of the out of mercy to the Sahabi his son because he was a true Sahabi and he knew that his father was a hypocrite so just to you know just to mend his broken heart that his father died as a hypocrite and they say there's another reason because this hypocrite he had loaned the out of mercy his own shirt and so just to pay him back and they say because of that many hypocrites actually that day became Muslim they actually became Muslims and there was a lot of them so one doesn't know what one could do and just to have one's kindness and it could just turn somebody's heart towards Islam or maybe they're struggling and they're just on the verge because what if they've gone here and then Allah made this for most people and then they can say they can say Abdullah Ali Obey and his son's name is also Allah has said because if you look at the hair that the Prophet saw some going back to the Hadith about changing kormuna when the Prophet took his tongue and just made the da'a and he changed he said that if you look at the ayah of the Qur'an in surah Tafat that the ayahs those who pledge loyalty to you in addressing the Prophet's son are actually pledging loyalty to Allah himself Allah's hand is placed on theirs and anyone who breaks his pledge does so to his own detriment so when the Prophet's son is placing his hand it's like devised care from Allah right you didn't throw what you threw so it fell low but Allah threw it for it and so when you especially reading all these miracles and you just see the Prophet's son like he would bite some in his face and they say in the story that when this person was dying he didn't actually see people his face was like a mirror when just the Prophet's son wiped his hand on that person's face and it's just so incredible but when you go back to the ayahs and you know it's divine care that you know that with Allah so the kids love this story so he was one of the companions who lived with the Prophet's Allah so he was one of the homeless they were the homeless people the process on their hide and there were different numbers who actually lived with the Muslim there was a few hundreds sometimes there was less than 100 so when Allah for a while he lived in that area he lived in the Muslim and he narrates a strange encounter that he had several nights in a row and he mentions it and started with the process and trusting him in Ramadan with dates to be stored and they were giving dates for the poor and he says that he would sense he would come back when you go and check on the dates and the find would scatter and he would sense that the being had gotten to the dates and he says that actually one day he says that actually grabbed the creature so there's actually several narrations of the stories that seem like it happened more than one sahabi in this one Abu Hurayah actually saw it was a jinn that had come that was stealing another narration Sahabi actually said he was saying it was happening to whatever he the story he went to Rasulullah Rasulullah told him say this the next time you're there and basically he told him answer Rasulullah when you go to this jinn he said to him answer Rasulullah so when he said that to that jinn the jinn actually appeared because he had to make himself appear because they had to obey Rasulullah so in this other story he appears to the sahabi and he's like oh you've been stealing my dates so and then in this one Abu Hurayah goes and he's like he says I'm going to take you to a prophet said I said I'm about this because he's like you know he's going to get into trouble because he's stolen and these were in there in closed space so if you like actual stealing whether it's out of punishment for one of the rules is that it has to be a certain amount it has to be in a closed space that's protected right so he said I'm going to take you to Rasulullah and the being cried oh I'm poor and I have others to support and I'm truly in dire need and so Abu Hurayah let him go right to Allah and the next morning the prophet said was and he asked and he said oh Abu Hurayah what did you personally say last night now has he bond with the prophet yet he hasn't gone so the prophet already knows that his jinn this jinn has come to him so he says Ya Rasulullah he complained about being in dire need and the shabbi don't tell the truth and so he said with so much mercy he said he complained about being in dire need and he had dependence and so I felt sorry for him and I let him go about his way and so the prophet said indeed he lied to you and he's going to return and of course the prophet told some that's true but this is a miracle and so he kept coming back he kept coming back and he says now I knew you would return and you know Swalla they had so much trust and Rasulullah that even though imagine like your somebody comes to you and says that this creature is going to return which is already really out there but it's going to come back he says now I knew he was going to return so they just they had so much he said to them irrespective of how far fetched it was and I think that really applies to us they would believe it right so sometimes we'll be hearing things and it's really important that even if we say well you know it's really hard for me to believe it but we should think we believe it and just seek more of an explanation find somebody who'll explain it to you right so he he says I knew he would return so I knew he'd wait for him and third time around sure enough he came and he scattered the dates about it you know and he said I grabbed him and I said I'm going to take you to Rasulullah and he said this last time he says you say you can't return and come back so they shall untie him Ayatollah Kursi which is really it's really really important especially in this thing especially in the West to do Ayatollah Kursi which is one of the many reasons I picked this I picked this miracle and when Abu Huraira went to the processer he told him what the jinnah had said and he said indeed he spoke the truth to you and he's a habitual liar because the jinn never tell the truth and he said to Allah he said do you know what's been speaking to you for the last few days and Abu Huraira didn't know and he said that was the shefaan who had been speaking to you but they would just believe that Rasulullah said this and he's going to come back he said this so sometimes in for example I'll teach but we as fake teachers we want to give as much as is palatable but even as a teacher sometimes they would tell us things and I was like oh wow we have to do that so the first thing is to say it's from Allah it's messenger and I really trust this teacher so the first thing to say is it's different to say I believe in it but it's hard for me to do rather than to what is enough I just want to do sometimes it's too hard for me and so I'm just not going to I'm just not going to believe it because then if I make myself believe that it's not true then I don't really I have to do it but the sahaba were okay well did you say that Allah is the one creature that's coming and it's pretty strange right they generally wouldn't see the shayatani but I don't believe it it's from Allah and so you know it's the miracle I feel like they all apply to us even when you're reading and I feel like even like a fraction of the milk miracle so whatever books you read see how it applies to like to our age how does it apply to me in my life because there's always an application there's a reason that this has been preserved so that it's been brought to us there's a reason I wanted to do some women stories because one of the claims I would get is that and who was home-aiming was anyone home-aiming? yeah she was there right she was there at the time of the prophet Salasim right she was and she outlived the prophet Salasim right she was married to she was married to Seidna Seidna Zayi right the prophet Salasim originally adopted son right so she was there not really being there doing the entire life of the prophet Salasim that's the claim so she's going to be just a gift of being in that age the I'm going to come back to this Seidna Abdullah Ibn Ar-Bas who is known as the Tajman of Quran and he was known as the the interpreter of the Quran he was commented on this ayah of the Quran like Allah probably swears by the prophet Salasim's life by your life and Allah probably only swears by something else great and Seidna Abdullah Ibn Ar-Bas commenting on that ayah he's known as a kind of being within the Sahaba like his commentary is the commentary of the Quran if he commented on an ayah they would take his so he said Allah hasn't sworn by anybody else's life in the Quran except by the prophet Salasim's life so it shows you the greatness of the prophet Salasim's life so and this is the whole life or barakah she was with the prophet Salasim then she was married to his what was the title of Sayyidina Zayn he called him his son and he was also known as and what was Usama his son known as he was known as he was known as the beloved of the and say that so she was a very you know so Omen she says but they're going to be tested also one of my teachers went through a huge test so I kind of one of the days that I got to spend with him I was like how can I share some relief with him that he's been teaching me all these years so he said the one that are the one that are the that have the the ones that have the most tribulation are who are the prophets and then the ones that are most like the prophets and then the ones that are most like the prophets so the closest somebody is to a prophet the more their tribulation the prophet Salasim is the greatest of prophets because within the five greatest prophets he's the greatest and there's a lot of proof for that and so she has a test she says she migrated with that teacher usually when we go on the travel we'll have now I have got GPS on my phone and I'm like if you see the means we should do it we should take them and we plan and we should make our lunch bags and everything so she travels without she doesn't have any provision I mean not good in the vina it's pretty intense and she felt thirst on the way you know in the desert they call the desert that is because foes means victory sometimes the Arabs would name something given the opposite meaning because in the desert it's somebody goes without water they don't have provision they're gonna die of thirst so they would close it was no one of the words foes so she felt thirst upon reaching Roja which is on the way to Medina and she said so I heard a strong rustling sound and sometimes the mother doesn't come until you just get really pushed to the limit and Sumo knows what their Ashi made and then she just it's really darkest before dawn and there's eyes in the Quran that didn't indicate that when it was just really they reached their breaking point the best generation the mother didn't come there was a strong rustling sound this isn't the middle of the desert she's going alone and there was a bucket suspended in the sky with a white rose in my head beach bread I grabbed the drink from it till my thirst was quenched after that whenever I would fast on an intensely hot day I would wander in the sun to become thirsty I still would not become thirsty but she you know for example this part of an ayah and she Arzima is the strongest thought we're taught that we have 5 types of thoughts and Arzima is the strongest thought so she the ayah is that if you are resolute to do something then you did your istikhara or if it's fun you have to do it she made the intention to make hijrah and that's it but I'm going if I die on the way of Allah she's Shahid but Allah will send her provision she trusted in Allah that the mother would come and it came and Zignita same thing she was a slave girl and the slaves were and they could have hidden their Islam they didn't want to give that she was saying that he was freeing her and so people that are spending their money for the sake of Allah in this day and age like they're making classes because all they wanted to do like they just wanted an opportunity to practice their deed or take the team out to people and so they were doing whatever it took to say that Allah could freeze her but because of the torture she lost her sight that's how bad the torture was but she refused to relinquish the deed she didn't even outwardly want to confess her faith one of the sahaba I did I'll mention that and she was taunted and they said so after she lost her sight this is how much of they were and this is a sign of the greatness of that community is the the horrible they talked to them, they said not that it was set with your sight their idols and she was taunted like this is after she's gone blind this is a sign she said certainly not and actually like the conviction by Allah she swore it is not like that and she was just so convinced Allah would return her sight to her and that was when we get tests it's not a sign that Allah doesn't love it but if we're being if we've been given knowledge I mean Allah will love them she'll sign it when he does his introduction she said Allah and he quotes a hadith and he says Allah like before saum came before the prophecy was given Allah looked at the denizens of the earth and except for a few monotheists he was angry and Allah was upon all of them and then after Islam came what do we say what do we say like he loved them what is bear to ridwan those are from the greatest heart bear to ridwan that if you want the prophecy to be happy like you don't know on the night the prophecy was great because he died from poisoning and that was he was making God he wanted to die so he because the prophecy was vigilant he wanted all the different rewards even though his best creation he still wanted to die so he he hit the left body he was madhamada until he died he died from poisoning and then he came back so what the fuck if you want to know the prophecy if you want to make him happy recite that recite that surah and the sheikh sahn was saying that because the prophet talked about how how pleasing that surah was because that surah was revealed on the night also on hode via when they were prevented from they were blocked from entry month it was a very difficult time and they had to shave their heads in the sahaba they heard them because they had some of the they were still practicing some of the rites from Sayyidina Rahim alaihi s-salam doing falaf and just do it without any clothes and things like that and they had all these weird traditions so whatever we have in Islam we should keep that from our tradition and things that have gotten into Islam into our culture that's not from our tradition or we're not sure we should ask so the sahaba were prevented and that night the surah was revealed about they would go back but imagine that's a very beloved surah and the Prophet s.a.w. talked about that so if you want to recite a surah that would please the Prophet s.a.w. and make sure he pleased his great recite that surah because it was very pleasing to him and they say in that 22 months after surah hode via after they signed that treaty of hode via that more muslim people became muslim because once they had the treaty they could do dhala they could talk they could just sit and talk to people sometimes I think when I speak of surah hode via I can actually sit I can go to my neighbor and I can talk to about Islam that's what they were trying to do and that's such a gift when surah hode via happened they were actually able to do that and during those 22 months it was a 10 year treaty and how people became muslim during those 22 months then during all the years that they were trying to spread Islam but they couldn't because they were being walked but just because they had the opportunity they just went they went to town with just spreading the deem for people to take me out during that time and so even though they were prevented from doing umarah that night it was very difficult to solve people told them to shave your heads and they hadn't done umarah they couldn't understand that concept it's not that they were disobeying them the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam like to them they didn't understand that concept like how can we shave our heads when we haven't done umarah because you get out of that problem and that was how they understood it and say that umsalamah the prophet sallam sought asked her and spoke to her and the woman gave counsel and did it and some of the hairs were from that time and they say this haba then rushed to do it they rushed so much they were afraid that people would fear that they would cut each other because there was so um there was such a hurry to obtain the usul of war and they probably realized they realized ok the usul of war is doomed what else were they going to do and they say that the wind and it blew some of the hairs towards the car so that like it was assigned to them sometimes they know it doesn't happen so um these were these were their tests but you know sometimes it has to get to that breaking point before the mother happens oh ok this is about how many how many people have lost five or six children before they passed away and that's a huge test the prophet sul lost all of his except for one except the same the prophet would follow his children and pass away during his lifetime and so some of the sahabah were tested with the same thing so Fadariya Ansadiya she's going to be from them from the tribe the helpers the prophet sul informed her that her son Ibrahim had died now these people had like they had really sacrificed they really sacrificed their opinion they got put to the test she was old and she was blind and her son had died so it means that there's probably not a trained dog to help her there's no you know how she did so how was her health and she was elderly and she had migrated with her son right but I think they say he was struck with an endemic they say see another test when they came to Medina they had some of them got sick and some of them they were writing a beautiful poetry I was trying to understand some of it so beautiful even when they were that sick and they were saying this really beautiful poetry about death the thing possibly was malaria but anyway so possibly that's what he died from so she's told about his death some people say say nan is the servant of the prophet someone told her oh the prophet told her and she makes this beautiful da'a and she must have been you know like we say in English she gave it all so she's old she's blind and she's migrated for Allah she says oh Allah you certainly know that I became Muslim in obedience to you but I didn't do it for anything else it's just for you to say I left the idols out of accidents and I migrated desires of your continents like there's no other reason just that was her love for Allah this message here oh Allah do not let the idol worship go as gloat over me it's called shamata in Arabic like it's called shamata it's like having the enemies gloat over you because they would do that that was their test do not make me bear this regulation when I don't have the strength to bear and that to me that's how much hope they had in Allah that she was convinced that oh Allah don't make me bear this and that her conviction was so 100% that that's tofiq the meaning of tofiq is that you do what Allah is pleasure is in the opposite of that so for any given moment there's something that we're supposed to do that has the most tofiq in it and or there's something or the opposite of that is which doesn't have Allah's pleasure always be in that situation we have this tofiq so Asena Anas says I swear by Allah she had not completed her speech when he moved his feet and throughout this there's different narrations of the story and he ate with us so it wasn't just like he moved his feet and some people think that you know sometimes there's you know when the the person dies the muscles twitch so it wasn't that he threw off the cloth and he ate with us and we ate with him and he outlived the messenger and his mother and that's just that's just it's never despairing she's old, she's blind, she's left everything she has just one son they probably didn't have any money and that was just the norm in one of the they talk about how the women the women came and prayed behind the Prophet because there were women praying behind the male Sahaba, the Sahaba they were told not to when they would come out of the khu they would wait till the men came out of the khu and then the women were told to get out of the khu because the Sahaba were so poor that they didn't have enough to cover themselves completely so they were afraid that they would uncover their my private parts so the women were told to just wait for the Sahaba to come the male Sahaba to come out of the khu and the men will come out of the khu so that accidentally your eyes don't fall like that's how and that was the normal but they were the most beloved community and I don't know but all the hadith about the Prophet Sahab talking about how much like he loved the Sahaba and the love of Allah that was upon his community there was a lot of there was a lot of there was a lot of there was a lot of there was a lot of there was a lot of there was a lot of
