 The mysteries of Islam fascinate us time and time again This is no different from the life story of the Prophet Who was Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa alihi wasallam? An illiterate doesn't merchant who one day stumbled upon amazing Arabic rhetoric Or was he the creation of Allah's greatest light? Sent down to earth to pull man out of ignorance and bring them to the purest of truths I Ali Burji, I'm on a journey to discover the real story behind the Prophet The real story behind our religion the roots the beginning the cradle of civilization So doctor regarding Benny Hashem Were they in charge of the Kaaba by means that they were appointing people different roles to run Run the the the town if you could be called the town or settlement or by then was it a town? It was a town wasn't it doctor? Yeah, I think yeah, so were they the ones responsible for appointing people different Responsibilities or where they Carrying them out themselves for example with regards to what water Providing water to the pilgrims were they just gonna go themselves? So did they have that recognition by everyone that they appointed people to do these jobs? By virtue of their Conduct as well as their piety They were recognized By the people of Makkah if you like and probably others surrounding the city of Makkah that they were unique individuals and They had this status social status by By you know providing helping the needy Providing food and water during hunger When there was famine and hunger and people were desperate they went out of their way like Hashem and So by default Because of the state social status that they had gained and the respect that they had gained through their help to the people They became the if you like the custodian of the of the Kaaba and this was past on from Hashem to his son Abdul Muttalib and he continued that so probably not We don't have any evidence at least we're not aware that they were doing running the whole city Probably other leaders of what I was were doing that But they they had a special status through their help and conduct Towards the people social Help which they provided Whether during hunger or during the pilgrimage pilgrimage season when pilgrims used to arrive at Makkah to perform the Hajj They used to provide according to reports for their food and water Which of course they probably is appointed people to help them whether with the water and the food and so on goes without saying but They were the driving force behind that and they were If you like planning it and making sure they provide they Make these provisions for the for the other on cause because the reports say that Hashem is to kill his own camels to do that So they acquired this respect in the eyes of the people through their Conducts through their piety. They were known. They were following a monotheistic religion the religion of Ibrahim alaihi salam So that added to their social status to their respect rather than following the What had become the trend of everyone sort of setting up their own God? An idol sort of worshiping it They still had that sort of special respect because they stuck to their to their religion or the religion of their forefathers Which is the religion of Ibrahim alaihi salam All of these added For their standing so in society in the eyes of the Mekken people Did were there any other tribes who were? Let's see powerful in Maccadre than Benny Hashem The power of Benny Hashem comes through their as I said through their status in terms of piety and helping others rather than Any other power at least we're not aware that they had armies and so on So probably there were other other tribes who were more powerful in respect of army or wealth or whatever The main focus of the of Benny Hashem, Benny Hashem, Hashem, Abdul Muttalib, Abu Talib They had a lot of respect because of their conduct because of their piety Because of their help either for the pilgrims or during famine time so in a way there were They were recognized officially as They were they were custodians of the Kaaba that was Recognized but with regards to leadership Was anyone ruling Mecca or was it left unruled? Yeah, there were there was all these collect porridge if you like, which is a collection of a collective of various clans They were if you like they taking care of the If it can be said a ruler there wasn't such a such a single ruler who like a king or a Head of state or whatever at that time So it was more tribal rather than anything else. But the thing which stood up basically was the Behavior Individually and socially piety and helping others which I call the eyes of the people as far as Benny Hashem are concerned as far as Hashem Abdul Muttalib and Abu Talib are concerned Well, where I was trying to get to is I've I've heard and read about Ben Umeya the claims that they have Been written about them being related to Benny Hashem I wanted to get an understanding regarding that because later on during the lifetime of the holy prophet So long, but even more later on after Imam Ali and Imam Hassan and Imam Hussein, we all know very well what has happened between Benny Hashem and Benny Umeya When did this start and how did it start? this clash between these two clans this Because Benny Umeya have always shown that they wanted to be superior from Benny Hashem as if they were always jealous from them they envy them for their status and When did this start? Is it clear so Benny Hashem is because of the standing of Benny Hashem they became if you like automatically by default through consensus because of the respect that they'd gained in the eyes of the people whether the Meccan people or the pilgrims and so on that Hashem and his sons were really worthy of being the custodian of the Ka'ba by virtue of their apiety and the services they provided Food and drink food and water that are giving to the Pilgrims which is extremely important if you imagine at the time of scarce food and facilities and so on and The kind of desert area of the value of Mecca and so on Giving food and water is extremely valuable as far as the recipients and of course must be hard work for An effort and as well as the investment that they make As far as the donors which is Hashem and Benny Hashem for example So yeah, that was that was that you weren't mentioned about Omeya so according to what has been said and known that Abshams and Abshams was the Nephew of Omeya No, Abshams was the brother of Hashem. Sorry Abshams was the brother of Hashem and That Omeya and they say that Omeya is the son of Abshams. Yes. Is that true? No Okay, it is it has become known that They refer to Omeya as Omeya Ibn Abshams Omeya the son of Abshams and So it's been taken for granted that Omeya and Hashem are related and if you like Omeya is being the son of Abshams is the son of Abd Minnaf and Hashem is the brother of Abshams and the son of Abd Minnaf So they all descend of Abd Minnaf, but and this has been unfortunately one of the Notions which has paid which has taken a lot of Well firmly established if you like But we have scholars and researchers who Published their works and so on they say they have proven that Omeya was not the son of Abd Shams and In fact, he was a Roman slave who was adopted who was like bought by Abd Shams and then he freed him and He adopted him as a son, but he wasn't The son of Abd Shams, he wasn't the he had there is no blood relationship between Abd Shams and Omeya Is this many Omeya and people like Muawiyah and so on are they pride themselves that to say that we are from Quraish Omeya are from Quraish and because their father is Abd Shams Abd Shams is the brother of Hashem and they both And And they they pride themselves that they're related to Benny Hashem and Because their father is Abd Shams the brother of Hashem, but this is not true According some research work was done in a book which is been established by an expert in lineage I can if you like I can show it to you, please The details that I've recorded In a book by Sheikh Abdul Hamid Al-Khaqani and Najafi In his book, Ilm Al-Ansaab the he was expert in lineage He says that in refuting this notion that Omeya is the son of Abd Shams He recites he cites the communication between Muawiyah and Imam Ali alaihi salam Imam Ali wrote a letter to Muawiyah in response Muawiyah wrote back Starting with this at least he mentioned this phrase that inna ma nahnu wa antum Benua abd manaf Muawiyah addressing Imam Ali says we and you at least we are if you like cousins because we are both Are the descendants of abd manaf abd manaf being the father of Hashem and the father of abd shams and They claim that Omeya was the son of abd shams but Imam Ali rejects that and says He wants to show the difference between him Imam Ali and Muawiyah He says He says The migrant those who migrated from Makkah to Medina The migrant is not like the Taliq. Taliq means the one who has been set free if you remember Ben-Nusuf Yaan and all those people who Fought the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi During the many campaigns they waged against the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi When the Prophet If you like at the conquest of Makkah when he conquered Makkah Without any fighting and without the Any bloodshed whatsoever Makkah was overrun and overcome by the Muslim army if you like under the leadership of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi and Quraish Probably Abu Sufyan the father of Muawiyah who was the spearheading the campaign against the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi They were very worried. They were very worried and they were concerned and obviously frightened that he's gonna The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi is going to punish them Given the all the hardship that they had caused all the killings that they had caused killing the Muslims including the uncle of the Prophet Hamza But despite all that the Prophet who had all the power and authority in Makkah He said them free for the work and to mutlaka you are free and I'm not gonna impose any punishment against So Imam Ali as-salam says those who out of their free will migrated From Makkah to Medina with the Prophet Are not the same as those who been set free after waging all these wars and against the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi And they were when they were in in weak position. What a story he cannot see a story who has a Exact clear Lineage relationship, okay, which is like Imam Ali Being the son of Abu Talib being the son of Abdul Mutl being the son of Hashim. There's no ambiguity about that. Kalla siq La siq means someone who's been attached If you like to the tribe Like omaya omaya was attached to the tribe. He wasn't he didn't have any blood relationship to abd shams and It continues in here color of me fees have been at the bar in the book safe enough to be hard The author says reports from Kamil al-Bahai Inna omaya kana gulaman room in a little abd shams indeed. Omaya was a Roman slave To owned by abd shams When he fell in love with him in fatan, but I think what about now he when he found him clever and so on and He set him free But he wanted him so he adopted him as a son and therefore the Arabs at that time At the time of the Jahiliya because he adopted him. They used to say omaya bin abd shams So that's how it became known that omaya is the son of abd shams Whereas was it something clear back then adult at that time at the time of the holy prophet? So long was it something clear or was it something clear as I said So basically after ben yomeya, they used that and they fabricated hadiths To create a connection with them and no, I mean just it just became known that they didn't mean to Fabricate anything it just that here omaya a mouawiya claimed that Abdu Benu abdu benal and the Imam Ali said no and Kamil Bahai said omaya was a Roman slave to abd shams Okay, he set him free and then he adopted him as a son and the public referred to him as omaya bin abd shams Okay I express It says for Benu omaya Kaafatan leesum in Quraysh, therefore Benu omaya the tribe of omaya the clan of omaya The in their entirety they're not from Quraysh. Wa inna ma luhuqu wa lusuqubih. They have been just if you like Attached to them and because of Abd shams adopting that Omaya as a son, but he's not there is no blood relationship if you like That's why my ma Ali aleyhi salam refers to him as la siq and he's not sariha Whereas they are sorry. So that is that me that needs I thought that needs to be clarified. Yeah, thank you Yes, of course, they had their animosity towards a little bit. Alayhi salam Benu omaya They are referred to in the Quran as shajr al-mal'oona the curse tree if you like and And Yeah Quran way You mean which I am yes, the eye is Surat al-Israa and I a number 60 With Colna Laka in a rabaka a hatab al-nas Wama jahanna Ruiya Latie a Reena ke illa fitnata Lina si what shajr al-mal'oona to fill Quran When I'll have with them my Yazid Fama Yazid om illa toyanan Kabira And the translation of that at least I start from halfway Arkansas from the beginning is that And remember when we told you verily your Lord has encompassed mankind I they are in his grip and we made you Sorry, and we made not the vision which we showed you o Muhammad but a trial for mankind and Likewise the accursed tree in the Quran we won't and make them afraid But it only increases them in not save great disbelief oppression and disobedience to Allah Yeah, I say that's a shajr al-mal'oona the the Mufassir in if you say tafsir al-Quran they say by shayr man-oona means bani umayyah and The Ruiya the dream that he saw the Prophet saw was that he saw Monkeys Going up the member of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi and that really distressed him and This is their There's a woman. I don't know what you are a naka. I love it. Nata Linna's It's a trial and tribulation It's a testing for the for the people what you get a man-oona to put on so yeah, they had animosity to to Ahlul bait Ali Muslim to the Prophet and I'm bait Ali Muslim Abu Sufyan and and his wife hind They had they were spearheading campaigns against the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi and of course we had others who unfortunately showed animosity To a little bait Ali Muslim to the Prophet and a little bait Ali Muslim You know the first rule a second ruler and so on who came a third ruler who came to rule after the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi They had They were staunch enemies of a little bait the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi imam Ali alaihi salam Fatimid al-Zahra al-Hasan al-Hussain in their entirety they They and they did all they did all they could to destroy That household the Prophet his household his teachings and so on Of course we can come to that inshallah in the future Muawiyah was his job to pay pay people money to fabricate hadith and these Fabrications have reached us today to the extent that his uncle Abu Talib Becomes car for the parents of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi become coffee and so on so they try to distort The hadith they tried to distort the fact the historical fact and we just The least thing we need to do is to put them right
