Welcome back to the channel. If you're new, my name is Bobby. Guys, finally, we're going to continue with the Prophet series. Today, episode 3, E-Dries. So coming from an Orthodox Christian background, I never heard of the Prophet E-Dries. I'm very curious to find out. Guys, please do me the favor. If you enjoy those videos, leave it a thumbs up. And if you haven't subscribed already, guys, please do so. With no further ado, let's have a look. And make mention in the book of the Prophet E-Dries. We raised him to a very high level. E-Dries, alayhi salam, was the first to take up arms against another army, to fight against injustice. And he is the first man to ever write with the pen. Indeed, he was very truthful, and he was a Prophet. Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, had chosen after Adam the son of Adam, Sheith. And from Sheith, he had Anush with one of his sons, who carried out his mission after him. Then after him, his son, Ken'an, from there was Mihla'il, and from Mihla'il was Yarid or Yarid, who took charge of his mission. And here the Quran, the next man or the son that came after him, the Quran mentions him. His name is E-Dries, alayhi salam. E-Dries was born at the time of Adam. He was born when Adam, alayhi salam, was 840 years old. So E-Dries met Adam, and Adam met E-Dries. E-Dries is the sixth grandson of Adam. In biblical terms, ancient names, he was called Enoch. He learned from Adam, alayhi salam, he learned from Sheith, alayhi salam. And the Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said E-Dries was a Prophet. He was very good looking, he was very calm, he had a full grown beard, and he spoke very, very clearly. He was very patient. E-Dries, alayhi salam, was tall in stature, 60 qubits tall. And when he walked, his footsteps were long, they were big footsteps. They were similar to the footsteps of Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And he walked calmly. He spoke very little. That if ever he wanted to speak, he would speak something beneficial, words of wisdom, or he would be silent. And when he walked, it was not his nature to constantly look upwards. He used to look downwards, like a person who constantly was thinking. So he'd walk, and he would think a lot, ponder a lot, contemplate a lot. And he is the first man to ever write with the pen. So writing before E-Dries did not exist, until Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala taught E-Dries how to write. And E-Dries, alayhi salam, is the one that taught people how to write. He came as a Prophet not to stop people from shirk or to call them to the correct information, but rather to help stop and call people away from acts of corruption which they knew were corruption, away from their desires, as we know such as Zina and the act of killing. The people of that time were all upon Tawheed, but they were committing many sins and ignorance was spreading among them. He spoke so hard and he spread the message and reminded people so much to bring them back to the straight path. When he saw the corruption spreading, especially among the people of Qabil, and that corruption is spreading even within the people of E-Dries, so E-Dries, alayhi salam, declared war against the corruption. The first Prophet and Messenger to call for jihad fighting in the path of Allah was E-Dries, alayhi salam. And he prepared an army of horsemen and people walking fighting against the people of Qabil and the corruption of the people of Qabil. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave victory to E-Dries, alayhi salam. Allah says and mentioned in the book in the Quran, E-Dries, he was a truthful Prophet and we raised him high in the heaven. What is meant when Allah swt says and we raised him high in the heavens? Abdullah ibn Abbas once asked ibn Ka'ab, radiallahu ta'ala about this verse and we elevated him a high position. He asked him, what's this about E-Dries? So ibn Ka'ab said that Allah swt revealed to E-Dries one day, that every day your deeds are equivalent to the good deeds of everybody else on the face of the earth. Ever his own deeds, ever his own rewards, ever the good deeds of E-Dries, Allah swt also give him the rewards of all the people living at the top of E-Dries. With simple calculation, Sayyidina E-Dries said, if that is the case then if I ask Allah swt to give me a longer life, I would be able to accumulate more good deeds. So he had a friend from the angels and he spoke to this friend. Why don't we speak to the angel of death? Let's see what he has to say, to say look just try and see if you can seek permission to prolong a little bit. So the angel says look that is a matter that is decreed by Allah swt. However there's no harm in trying, come you ride on my wing and let's go. So E-Dries went on the back of this angel and flew with him all the way to the heavens. He crossed the first heaven, he crossed the second heaven, he crossed the third heaven, when he got to the fourth heaven, they met the angel of death who was descending down to the earth. So this angel told the angel of death that E-Dries is asking that if he could make him live longer. So this angel of death said that where's E-Dries? Then this angel said he is with me, he is also on the fourth heaven. Then Malakul Maud said subhanallah. So the angel told him what's amazing, he said that Allah swt ordered me to take the soul of E-Dries in the fourth heaven and I wondered how I'm gonna do this. E-Dries came with one intention, angel of death came with another and Allah swt only happened where he was. This angel speaking with the angel of death looked this actually hilarious metaphor and reminds me of course of the Quran when it states but they plan and Allah plans and Allah is the best of planners but moreover it raises the question of free will of course because the free will of E-Dries told him that he would like to do more good and therefore live longer. So with his free will yet again he aspires to enter the fourth heaven however the plan of God was already that he will enter the fourth heaven and die right there. He don't is back and saw that E-Dries has already passed away and elevated him to a very high level. Nobody passed away in that level except Sayyidina E-Dries. And Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam confirms in Sahih al-Bukhari that when he went up for Me'raj he met E-Dries alayhi sallam in the fourth heaven. After the death of E-Dries corruption start to increase even more and more and more and people still believing in one lord Allah Azza wa Jalla Allah Azza wa Jalla the most high Allah Azza wa Jalla the most greatest Allah Azza wa Jalla the most strongest so after the death of Adam all the way up to 1000 years 10 centuries as the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said people just worshipping one lord believing in one lord they believe in the oneness of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and then after that 1000 they believed in one god but they didn't believe in anything that came with it this is why they fell into corruption and this is what we see nowadays as well many people declare that they do believe in god but do all kinds of immorality all it takes is going to instagram and when you see a woman claiming that god comes first in her bio you already know that she declared that only by typing on her phone however her actions speak against her that's when changes start to take place it became a big gap between E-Dries and the next prophet and messenger been sent few centuries no prophet no messenger these prophets and messengers had very righteous god-fearing iberian followers and when the prophet went people start to look up to those followers respected followers ulama salihin scholars righteous people people used to respect them there were five very very righteous individuals and their names were wad, suwa, yaghuth, ya'uq and nasr and at the time of E-Dries without a problem they used to get E-Dries after E-Dries they start to go back to those righteous people after the death of the righteous people what happened after they passed away shaitan sees the opportunity and now he begins his mission he starts off by whispering in their minds in the minds of the people shaitan said to them it's always the same game what a wonderful person you are what a wonderful so shaitan came and he grieved now you're going to look at the shaitan's tactics here we should have a remembrance for this person so how are you going to have a remembrance for this person if we don't quickly make something that reminds us of this person look we need to do this we need to remember good people like this and honor them we need to do this i've got a good idea for you why don't we get a rock just a rock as a simple maybe just looking at that rock will remind us about those good days exactly right man this how sneaky the devil is and nowadays people call it veneration of saints or whatnot but ultimately this really how it sneaked into and it distracts of course of the worship of god there's some people at that time it's true there's nothing wrong and maybe a good thing you're not doing anything wrong still believe in Allah Azza wa Jalla worshiping we're not going to worship this rock just something to remind us of this right choice man so people accepted that and that generation that accepted this they were wise enough not to fall into a deeper hole than that now shaitan is very patient he's got a plan he sows the seed and he goes away so he waited for that generation to pass when the next generation came he said you know you're the grandchildren of these of these figures that went ah what great grandfathers you had you know these pictures what you should do you should take them and we should we should honor them more respect them by carving out certain you know stones out of their shape of these heads so they started design and make out of the dust and mud and make out of rocks figures of human beings when that generation passed and people forgot why exactly they had made those statues he went to the next generation and said you know you're four fathers you don't know what they used to do they used to worship these idols these are statues this is what brought them goodness this rock is a simple it's a slippery slope man it's a very good explanation i never heard about it this particular way and it makes sense absolutely because you have the generations that then don't understand what those objects are anymore nowadays for example we are wondering who built the pyramids who built gobek le tepe et cetera et cetera we have no idea who the people were that built those structures but moreover even if we look into ancient egypt we will find that the egyptians apparently just inherited those pyramids they didn't build them themselves than the last great egyptian civilization so this explanation here makes all the sense in the world of course those people forget why those things are built even nowadays when you look around man most people they do not know why they celebrate certain holidays they do not understand where santa claus came from either and this rock is a symbol of suah that's amazing this rock is a symbol of yarus he said whenever they saw these idols they worshiped the idols so they became good people and goodness came in their direction so after the second generation third generation people start to worship these rocks and believe that these rocks will get them closer to Allah so the younger children who saw their parents going and sitting and making prostration and making dua towards the statues thought you know these are our gods these are our gods and they started to finally that's a steady decline they completely forgot about Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and they started to worship these five idols and that's how the shirk started to spread and the shirk took over the world now this was the point when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sent down the first rasool nooh alayhi salatu wa salam all right guys and this is it for today's video i have to say i'm genuinely impressed because it truly describes the timeline and it would of course explain as well why noah was sent after this after this fall of men you see the generously spreading over and over further and further and ultimately God has to send a rasool that will warn the people a warner here this reminds me of course of the position of prophet Muhammad as well may peace be upon him which was a warner to the people that have fallen into idolatry etc i didn't expect it reacting to this video whatsoever but yes it is linear the description of God creating Adam at first and obviously there is no need for spreading tawheed because it's already there it is established Adam is in direct contact with God but over the generations you see innovation over innovation over innovation pop up people worshiping statues stones and whatnot and this identification of the problem this problem solving attitude you can only find in Islam yet again this is truly the most impressive aspect of Islam to me personally when i talk to people people ask me what's new about Islam if i compare it to the bible for example the bible is so much bigger than the Quran is there really something new in Islam i of course understand that position because i came from the same ignorance however when you once realize what the tawheed truly is you of course understand the value of that message no it's nothing new of course it was there from day one this is the message of Islam to return to the worship of one god and to get away from all the innovation to get away from all the inventions and all the other worship that is redirecting your attention towards something else and not towards god what is more valuable than understanding that god is on top of your priority list all right guys but this is it for today's video if you enjoyed it leave it a thumbs up if you haven't subscribed already guys
