 Allah SWT, He says in the Qur'an, will be fadda ilahi wa bi-rahmatihi ab ibarika falyaf rahu. He says, say, the Prophet SAW, by extension to all of us, for the sake of the fadda of Allah SWT, and for the sake of his mercy, let them rejoice. Abdullah ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, who is Tujman al-Quran, he is the exegent of the Qur'an, the one on whose chest the Prophet SAW has placed his blessed hand, and made du'a to Allah SWT, to give him fiqh, to give him a deep understanding of the religion, and to teach him the taweel of the Qur'an, the interpretation of the Qur'an. This is ibn Abbas, radiAllahu ma'am. And he said here, fadda al-Nusayah, verse 57 and 58, to fadda al-Nusayah, the sacred knowledge. For the sake of sacred knowledge, let them rejoice. And then rakhma, rakhma here means Muhammad SAW. For the sake of the Prophet SAW, let them rejoice. So, insha'Allah, this is what we're doing here. We're combining both of them, right? We come here to gain sacred knowledge of the Prophet SAW. Blessed is the beloved of Allah SWT. And the evidences are, they're overwhelming. And we pray to Allah SWT, guide our friends and our neighbors, we're non-Muslim, and those of us who are Muslim, to keep us strong on the path, is bat with isti ma'ama. The evidences are many, many. Allah SWT says, sadaq Allah, it is he who has sent his messenger with guidance. And the deen al-haq, the religion of truth, who is al-haq, is Allah SWT, that it may supersede all other religions, even though the wushud-e-keen may test it. This is absolutely true. If you look at what's happening in the world right now, you have these proponents of weird philosophies, of just kind of postmodern madness, the current zikrants. Imagine they're, they have these swords or machetes of pufoo, and they're slashing through this jungle of religion. There goes Christianity. There's Judaism. There's Hinduism. Goodbye, Buddhism. And they come up to a wall, and they can't do anything. Because this wall is called Adi Islam. Islam will remain because it is zeed al-haq. Right? But not to mislead me. We have to pray for Allah SWT to keep us on the path. Right? Well, I'm telling you how much we shouldn't. Even though those who associate partners with Allah SWT may test it. Allah SWT says, Ya yuhal deena awana, mayyab tattam idkum an deenim. O you who believe, should one of you turn away from his religion? Right? If tidaa, riddaa, a hasty from the religion. Fa soba ya tilaaw bi qawmin. Allah SWT says, then Allah SWT bring up people. Qawmin. And this is naqira. Right? And the naqira in Quranic Arabic, the indefinite noun, in Quranic Arabic, in Quranic Arabic, means something that is beyond imagination. It is emphatic to the utmost. Beyond your frames of reference. Right? This is why Allah SWT describes the Prophet SAW using indefinite nouns. Ya ayyuha nabiyyu, Inna arsa'nahi shahidaan, wabbashiraan, wannadheeraan, wadaa'iyyaan min Allahi, bilitnihi wa silaajan ma niyaraan. Lam yathun al nadina kufru bin ahli kitabi wa moshrikina munfrakina hatta ta'iyya humul bayina, rasuhu billun min Allahi. Yabtuhu shmufan mutaharaan. Such a message, a messenger. What an incredible messenger. Faisal fiyat, Yabtuhu min Allah SWT will bring an incredible people. How does he describe these people? How does Allah SWT describe these people? You hipbuhu when you hipbuna. You hipbuhu when you hipbuna. That he loves them and they love him. This is their first sifah. It's about hope. And some of the theologians, they found this problematic. Allah loves us. We love him. This is really what it means. They say, no, it doesn't mean this. It means something else. It means you hipbuhu. He loves them. It means he rewards them. When you hipbuna, this means they obey him. But the imam of the sali says, that's not what it means. You see, you got the order wrong. The reward is before they get to you back. What does that work? That's in like the ayah, What do you think? Allah says, Say, if you love Allah, follow me, and Allah will love you. So here you hipbuhu, when you hipbuna, who Allah, loves them first and they love him. So this is his reality. What does this mean? Allah chose to love them, chose to guide them in his irada, in his pre-eternal will. Allah swt in his infinite knowledge, chose them. He loves them, and they love him. They're lowly, they're humble believers. And they have izzah, or the kufar, they see them as formidable. These people are no joke. When the kufar, at least this tone, this incredible people that are inundated with the love of Allah swt, they start shaking. They have izzah. You jahid you in the face of Allah. They strive in the path of Allah swt. They strive against, essentially, the Prophet swt defined what the mujahid is. And jihad takes many forms. Essentially he said, al-Mujahid, al-Mujahid, al-Nafsab, al-Qa'atillah. The true mujahid, the quintessential mujahid, is the one who strives against his lower self in the obedience of Allah swt. You jahid you in the face of Allah. And they are not afraid of people who reproach them for their religion. You don't care what people think about them. Because they hope certain beliefs. They have izzah in the religion. This is the grace of Allah swt. They need the stoes on you. On these people, on this phone. Allah swt says, Sadatullah, this is Prophet. What was this I revealed? In Mecca, there were a few dozen believers. And Allah swt addresses the Prophet and says, We have exalted your name, your remembrance. It's the most popular name in the world. The name Muhammad. The name of the Prophet Muhammad, the most popular name in the world. Literally his name is raised. Right now, someone is making iqama. Someone is saying Sadatullah. I just said, Sadatullah. This is going on 24-7 until the Sa'a. How is this not obvious? How is this not just a proof? His name is a proof. The Qur'an is saying this 1400 years ago. Allah swt says, When we put you in a raid and you didn't even send us back to our city, there will be a surah beneath him. What are you sure about? Who are you doing that? He put you inside a leak. Allah swt says, If you are in town, that's what we reveal to our servants from time to time, they produce one surah like them in this Qur'an. One surah. And call for your aid, anyone who you will. This is revealed 1400 years ago. There were a few hundred a few thousand believers. Today, there's nothing like the Qur'an. There's nothing in the same ballpark as the Qur'an. The Qur'an is predicting that no book in Arabic will be even near the style and elegance of the Qur'an. This is a prophecy. There's nothing close to it. This is completely obvious. In laqtah al-A'būn, while that is completely obvious. In laqtah al-A'būn, while that is laqtah al-A'būn. And if you cannot do this and you will not do this, but taqūn nā, then fear the fire. In some Christian eras or something like al-Qarūl al-A'būn, it's a totally joke. Ivy League professors working on this thing, half of it is plagiarized from the Qur'an. And then this poor scene who wrote this as an Arab Christian, you got in trouble with the IRS. He tried to burn some documents in a dumpster fire and the fire caught on to his apartment building. This irony, taqūn nā, he's put in, he said, he's tribulated with the fire in this world. In shā'a Llāh al-Muqtawbah, and m'Allāhu s-Chā'a Llāh was saved from the nār, jahannam. We pray for people's guidance. We pray for people's guidance. You know? These are clear, clear dali. Right? It's amazing. And in the Qur'an, there's a very short surah Everybody knows it, but have you really thought about this? There's a surah in the Qur'an which is basically our belief about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam in a nutshell. Three verses long, it's taqūn al-Muqtawbah. If you understand this surah, you have a very good grasp of our prophetology. Just like iqlās. Four ayyān. And there's a secret why we learn these surah when we're children. We memorize them. If we appropriate the meanings, assimilate the meanings in our own proper word. Assimilate the meanings of iqlās. We will have a very good conception of our theology. Theology in Greece. What does Allah swt say? In al-qawfah ʿunnā ʿatīnaka ʿtawfah ʿfasalli ʿrabbika ʿwanhawr ʿunnashāni ʿatamwātawr Indeed, we have gifted you ʿqawfah. What was this ayyān revealed to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam? It was revealed upon the death of his son, Abdullah ʿas-faltāhir ʿawdiallāhu ʿanīm. And the mushrikīn were literally laughing at him. You have to understand this. What kind of tribulations the Prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam had to endure? Can you imagine your child dying and you can hear your neighbors next to you laughing, celebrating. Abdullah was right next to him. You can hear them when they were lamenting they start laughing. They go out to the streets. But wujira Muhammad they're saying that as the ʿqawfah. Right? Because they have a very low mushrikīn, they have a very low opinion of women. Right? Who's going to spread your religion now? You don't have any sons. Right? Who's going to spread your name around? ʿas-faltāhir ʿawdiallāhu ʿanīm. And Abdullah they're saying to him wujwusha your name is not going to be remembered anymore. How long can you be? No one will remember your name after you. This is what they're saying to them. ʿibnā ʿabaynā ʿalakawfah. The Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi s-salām was romantic. He said, he looked up and he was a smile on his face. And he said, ʿalāṣu ʿalayhi s-salām ʿabaynā ʿabaynā ʿabaynā ʿalakawfah. And he smiled. A surah of consolation. Indeed, we have gifted you. The Qur'an is a gift. We have gifted you our qawfah, our qawfah. This is an ʿapáxla yamana. In other words, this is the only occurrence of this word in the Qur'an. Nowhere else in the Qur'an. What does it mean? You're laughing at my terminology. They're used to my weird. Anyway, what does it mean? So, the Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ʿalayhi s-salām said, ʿadīth ʿahrufi ʿjannah. This is a river and paradise. But that's not all it means. This is ʿalawfah, which is a ʿabaynā ʿawfah. It's an ʿadīth ʿahrufi ʿajnah. This is a river and paradise. But that's not all it means. It's here because the wow is stronger than the yā in Arabic. And the ʿabandīth, so they say yes, this means a river and paradise. It also means ʿashafāʿa ʿanayom ʿʿiyamah. It also means that he's ʿabīm ʿu Llāh, ʿmahabah ʿu Llāh ʿsūt ʿanawat ʿādah. It means many things. It means the promise of ʿajnah. And if we look at the ʿsūrā, the structure of the ʿsūrā, right? Because this whole ʿsūrā, this is way past. Way past us sometimes. That there's a deep structure to the ʿsūrā. This ʿsūrā is a kāyās and it's like a circle. It's called concentric composition. In other words, the last word of the first ʿayā is an antonym. It's antithetical to the last word of the third ʿayā. In other words, ʿal qawthār and ʿal ʿabtār are opposites. The one who hates you, he is ʿarāf. The one who hates you, ʿashafāʿan ʿu Llāh. What are the names of their sons? The ʿāz is the ʿwād. Right? But the only occasion in which we remember his father's name is when we're saying ʿrādi ʿallāhu ʿanhu about his son who became a follower of the man that his father hated. That's the only occasion in which we remember his name. Who are the sons of ʿarāf ʿu Llāh? Who knows? They're ʿqawthār. So then one of the meanings of ʿqawthār is what? ʿfātum ʿsāhārā. ʿalayhi ʿsalaam. That from her is going to be an incredible fountain from her that's going to be ʿsādāt and ʿahdī ʿvayt. The family of the Prophet ʿsallāhu ʿalayhi ʿsalaam, this is from his ʿqasādīn. The ʿahdī ʿvayt is from his daughter, his daughter, ʿfātum ʿasāhārā. ʿalayhi ʿsalaam. And this is not, you know, some ʿʿiʿā ʿtafsīr. This is the ʿtafsīr out of the ʿʿu Llāh of ʿjamā'a. And it's totally in line with the ʿsallāhu ʿlūzul of the ʿāyah and the internal composition of the ʿsūrah that this was his daughter. And the Prophet ʿsallāhu ʿalayhi ʿsalaam had incredible love for ʿsādāt ʿfātum ʿalayhi ʿsalaam. Our mother ʿʿajār, ʿrādī ʿallāhu ʿanāt, another incredible woman, one of the seven or eight ʿsāhārā that was a ʿmūfīr. He was incredible and a fountain of knowledge. She said ʿmār ʿaytū ʿahdān. ʿkāna ʿashbāhā ʿkāna ʿashbāhā ʿsumtān ʿwahakyan ʿirusūr ʿidhā ʿi ʿsallāhu ʿalayhi ʿsalaam ʿi ʿfātum ʿalayhi ʿsalaam. ʿkār ʿmālāhu ʿajāh. This is from our mother ʿayh ʿajār, ʿrādī ʿallāhu ʿanāt. I never saw anyone resemble more closely the sort of mannerism of the Prophet ʿmālāhu ʿalayhi ʿsalaam Then his daughter ʿfātum ʿas-salaam ʿalayhi ʿsalaam. In other words, he met ʿfātum ʿas-salaam after ten minutes of interacting with her. You say, I completely see ʿfātum ʿalayhi ʿsalaam in her mannerism. Subḥāna Llāh. And when ʿfātum ʿalayhi ʿsalaam, one of her names is ʿūmu ʿabīhā, the mother of her father. Why? Because when ʿfātīʃu ʿkūbara ʿrādī ʿallāhu ʿanāt, when she passed away, it was just ʿfātum ʿalayhi ʿsalaam in the house. His three older daughters were married off, and she would take care of him, as if she was his mother. And she would be cooking and taking care of things in the house for him and defending him. Defending him. But the Prophet ʿsalaam ʿalayhi ʿsalaam were told this is in Bukhārī and in other multiple narrations that he went to the Masjid al-Ḥarām and he was praying and there was a group of the ʿūmu ʿas-salaam. These were people who used to mock and ridicule the Prophet ʿsalaam, the ringleader of Jihad. And he said to his cronies, who's going to take these intestines of this camel and this camel uterus and all these internal organs with this blood and throw it on his back while he's in Sajjah. And this takes like 100 pounds and a few of them raised their hands. So they went to the Sajjah ʿsalaam ʿalayhi ʿsalaam and they threw it on his back. And ʿabdu ʿalayhi ʿtas ʿalayhi ʿsalaam and he said, I was there but I froze. She had done something. I wish I had abandoned that with me but he froze. And he put this thing on his back and some of the boys that were there they went to the Prophet ʿsalaam's house and they told ʿtas ʿas-salaam ʿwāhi ʿajāriyah and she was six or seven or eight years old and she starts running to ʿmashir ʿal-Ḥarām and she starts removing this thing from the back of the Prophet ʿsalaam and she starts crying and the Prophet ʿsalaam ʿalayhi ʿsalaam finishes his prayer and he looks at his daughter and this looks at his darling. ʿfātima ʿdu ʿbida ʿakum ʿimimi ʿfātima ʿis like a piece of my body. This is his beloved. This is like his heart. The apple of his eye and tears are streaming down her face and he says, ʿna ʿtabukī ʿin ʿal-Ḥa ʿna ʿsi ʿun ʿabāri Don't cry. Allah swt will understand your father and then Abdullah ibn Masrood, he said, He said, And when he said this, these ʿis mustahizīrūd, they started laughing to the point that they were falling over each other. Don't be laughing so hard sometimes you can't even stand. They're falling over each other. And I told this anecdote to the brothers and sisters the other day. I said, you want to see a mild mannered man become a lion? Right? You want to feel the wrath of a man? A ʿrʿuʿud, a real man. I don't know about today. You got men breastfeeding. I'm sorry, chestfeeding. We have to use the PC language. You have men who don't work. You know? You have men doing... I don't know. You know, I'm talking about the ʿrʿuʿud. You want to feel the fury of a real man messed with this little girl. Messed with this little girl. Right? And the Prophet ﷺ he put the first people except our rare cane. But they're laughing at his daughter. He raised his hands to the ʿrʿuʿud. Allahumma ʿalayka biʿabi jahbin wa ʿalayka biʿutba wa shayba Do not reach ʿajab with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for his family. Who said this? The namesake of this Masjid being extremely vigilant with respect to the Prophet ﷺ and his family. And so, in the Masjid, he said that they suddenly stopped laughing. The Prophet ﷺ ʿalīmu ʿabū in Masjid al-Kharām his raised his hands and made dua and the delivered Masjid ʿalīm said wa ʿalāhi on the day of ʿuʿāz wa ʿabādur all seven of these guys I saw that slain by our swords lying in the ʿalīm in the pit. Don't reach ʿajab with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Don't sit with people. Don't entertain people. Don't platform people. Who are ʿustah ʿizmūn. Allah ʿsūḥāna wa ʿabī ʿsizm al-Qur'ān. We will take care of these people. Hold firm to your religion. This is extremely important. That we pray to Allah ʿsūḥāna wa ʿtaʿālā that we have ʿistihāma in the religion. Allah ʿsūḥāna wa ʿtaʿālā Grant us ʿistihāma. May Allah ʿsūḥāna wa ʿtaʿālā give us the ʿtawfiq to take the advice of the Prophet ﷺ. When he told one of his companions ʿul ʿāman ʿdu l-lā ʿimas ʿtaqim say I believe in Allah ʿsūḥāna wa ʿtaʿālā and I stand firmly upon that and may Allah ʿsūḥāna wa ʿtaʿālā give us the ʿtawfiq to take the advice of the Prophet ﷺ. When he told one of his companions ʿul ʿil ʿāq ʿun ʿan kan ʿmur ʿan ʿul ʿāt ʿakhab ʿil ʿlāhi ʿla ʿmū ʿta ʿā'im ʿuk ʿan ʿqāla ʿʿan ʿʿan ʿʿan ʿu ʿo ʿo ʿo ʿo ʿo ʿo ʿo ʿo ʿo Say the truth even if it's bitter and don't be afraid of those to find fault with you because of your religion. ʿū ʿsū ʿul ʿāt ʿan ʿmū ʿan ʿul ʿāʿi ʿu ʿsū ʿan ʿu ʿan ʿu ʿo ʿo ʿo ʿo ʿo ʿo ʿo ʿo ʿo ʿo
