 In the name of Allah, the Lord of Mercy, the giver of mercy and prayers and blessings be on his beloved Prophet and from As-Salaam. So MashaAllah we've had some incredible speakers and I'm just proud to be their funny nerdy friend that gets to tag along. I just want to dive right in just because Sayyid al-Faltima, there's so much about her and I want to make sure that we talk about it. Sayyid al-Faltima, they called her the, they said that she was the female version of her father. And this is the description of Sayyid al-A'isha, and even down to the details, she walked like him, she talked like him. She was just embodied the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and we know also from A'isha, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam when they asked her, what is the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam's character? She said, he was the walking Quran, he was the personification of the Quran. You hear about these ideals in the Quran, you learn about them, you read about them, and Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam he personified them. And she was the female version of him. We talked a lot about, oh, we talked a lot about lineages MashaAllah and no one has a cooler lineage than Fatiha Allah. So the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam in talking about his own lineage, he said that always Allah swt, any time that there was a point where there was a split in the family tree, he would always pick the purest, and then the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam would come from the pure side of that tree. And he kept going and going in the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, even describing his own lineage, he said in his entire lineage, going back Sayyidina Adam Alaihi Wasallam, it was all through marriage. Every person in the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam's lineage was in a committed loving relationship, SubhanAllah. And now you can imagine the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam married Sayyidina Khadija Radhullah Anha, who we just learned about, and their daughter is Fatima Radhullah Anha, SubhanAllah. So they had four daughters, SubhanAllah, and in a community where like the Arabs would, as we have mentioned, if a daughter is born, especially if she is the first born, they would bury their daughters alive. May Allah protect us. SubhanAllah, now you don't see people physically do that, but you see them crush their daughters, unfortunately. And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam had a daughter, and they threw a huge party. I'm so excited. And then they had another child. Sayyidah Ruqya Radhullah Anha, huge party. And every time they have another daughter, everybody's like, they're still celebrating their daughters? And she was the fourth one. Imagine that much celebration. They threw a huge party when she was born. And there's a significant thing that happened the year that she was born. They were rebuilding the Kaaba. So there came all of these floods, and the structure of the Kaaba was starting to really just have some damage to it, and they decided they had to rebuild the Kaaba. What they did is, SubhanAllah, they started rebuilding the Kaaba, and the only thing left was that they needed to put the black stone. This is a famous story. I'm sure some of you have heard it before. And it's such an honor to be able to be the one that put the black stone, and they start fighting over it, until somebody's like, that's it, this is war. We're literally going to kill each other over this. And then somebody's like, whoa, wait, let's not kill each other over this. Let's wait till the next person walks in. Nor the next person is, they'll decide. And you can imagine everybody's waiting. He's like, please let it be my tribe. Please let it be my tribe. They're just waiting so that the next person comes in from their tribe, so that their tribe can get that honor. And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam walks in, and they say, Amin ur Tadaynah, and Amin ur Tadaynah. The most trustworthy, we are happy with his counsel. We are content with what he decides. And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, in his wisdom, he gets them to work off their anger. He takes off his aba'a, his outer cloak, puts it on the ground, puts the black stone on top of it, takes the representative from each of the tribes. They walk around carrying it in the show of unity, walking off of their anger. He brings together everyone in Mecca, and that was the year she was born. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was born when? In specific, the year of? The year of the elephant. She was born in the year of the rebuilding of the Kaaba. So there's so many parallels, subhanallah. They named her Fatima, so it was almost like, in hopes that Fatima, when a child is nursing, and then you stop nursing the child, i.e. they survive through childhood, through their early stages. So when you name someone Fatima, it is in hopes that one day they will have a lot of children, and they will nurse a lot of children, and a lot of those children will survive and live to supersede and to go past them, subhanallah. So they named her Fatima, radillallah. Also, fun fact, she's named after her two grandmothers. So the mother of Khadija radillallah was named Fatima, and the wife of Abu Talib, who was a consistent motherly figure in the life of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, and there's so many descriptions where he talks about her. He said, like, Abu Talib had 10 kids, and everybody would eat, and there wouldn't be food left for the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam that said, his Abu Talib's wife Fatima, she hides some food for him. She said, She's hiding food for the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. So they named her Fatima after those two women, subhanallah. Her nickname, so Fatima, they shared a number of other names, al-Batul, is the one who recedes and leaves everyone around her and goes into worship and seclusion. So this was Reminiscent of Sayyidina Maryam, alaihi s-salam, they called Maryam Maryam al-Batul. Subhanallah, you see how she takes from all of the different mothers, subhanallah. The culmination of so much beauty, subhanallah. Her name is Zahra. I learned this recently about makeup. You have an undertone, I did not know this. I studied engineering. When you're a woman in engineering, you don't try very hard, you're really the prettiest one there because you're one of the three girls. Never learned how to do makeup. I'm doing that. But her undertone was red. So similar to her father, they said when he got angry, his face turned red. She looked exactly like him. Her face would turn red, she had rosy cheeks. They called her as Zahra, as Zahra is like a flower. Subhanallah. So those are some of her nicknames and subhanallah, she was an example of every time they would give an example of someone that the extent of the love of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam they would use Faltima as an example. So when the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is doing da'wah for the first time, he's saying, Ya Faltima bint Muhammad. Ya Faltima bint Rasudina. Oh Faltima, the daughter of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Isalini min ma li mashayti. Ask me for my money, whatever you want. Whatever worldly things you need, I'll give you. But I can't protect you from Allah. You still have to make this decision for yourself. And later someone comes and he's like, Oh, there's a noble woman, but she stole. So let's not, you know, let's not apply the punishment to her. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam got angry. He said, What do you think we're as society when we only punish the people that are poor? This is what destroyed the people before us. We're not doing that. And the example he gave, he said, Even the most beloved person to me, Iffaltima bint Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, if she stole, I would apply the punishment to her. Because again, he keeps using her as an example of the epitome of love, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Sayyidah, So now she's born in the five years before the beginning of the revelation. And as a child, she was a witness to so much of what happened during the life of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. So by the time the revelation came, her older sister, Zaynab, had already gotten married and moved out. And her two older sisters, Ruqayah and Umm Kuthum, had also gotten married and moved out. Sayyidah, She said, You know, if I stay home, my parents, and her parents are Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and she's like, I'm not getting married. I'm not doing that. I'm going to stay here. Subhanallah. Just a little bit about the relationship between the sisters. So, Sayyidah Zaynab, was like a second mother to her. They were very, very close. And Ruqayah, and Umm Kuthum, they were like, you know those siblings that are inseparable? That was Ruqayah, and Umm Kuthum, they were always inseparable. And Sayyidah Zaynab and Faltima, were very close. Also something that's interesting about how the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam's fatherhood, it was tradition that the eldest daughter would marry someone from her father's side of the family. And Sayyidah Zaynab, her mother's side of the family. And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was not about to break his daughter's heart over a stupid tradition. Because that was the fatherhood of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. They were so unique in Arabian society. So much so that Abu Lahab came and was like, Oh my God, what did you do? Those two girls have to marry from the father's side of the family. And they married from the father's side of the family. And they all moved out. And Faltima Dallana was like, I'm going to stay here. And then sure enough, as the revelation became, can you imagine just being a fly on the wall in that house? Faltima Dallana, being a child in that house. Getting to witness all of this, witnessing the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam being wrapped up. Witnessing what her mother told him, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, witnessing all of this. One of the other names that she had was Ummi Abiha, the mother to her father. It's kind of funny. But she was such a nurturing person, Subhanallah. She was the person, they call it emotional labor. Can you imagine the weight her father is carrying? And she was the one that was there for him the most emotionally? Rally Allah on her. We talk so much about womanhood. A lot of our womanhood is carrying and loving other people. And it's thankless. No one ever says, oh, by the way, thank you. That's why there's so many narrations about thank your mothers. Be kind to your mothers, because they're the ones that are doing this work. But even not just motherhood, like as women in our community, when you realize who's actually doing stuff, the majority of the time, it's the women. And who's carrying the heaviest load? Usually it's the women. And not a load of just like, oh, I'm carrying the table. No, I'm carrying with you in my heart your pain. And I love you and I care about you. My students asked me, and I first started like, what's your job? I'm like, honestly, the biggest part of my job is I make da'a for you. I just love you enough to make da'a for you. This is what I feel like our spiritual leadership is that you know someone that loves you enough that asks the creator of the universe to be on your side. That's what love is, SubhanAllah. This is what our spiritual path is. And that's what Fatimah was for her own father. When she was a little girl, she saw Abu Lahab force his son to divorce her sisters. They came back home. She saw when the Prophet, was praying in front of the Ka'bah, they took the entails of like an animal and put it on his head and it was heavy. And no one could dare walk up because they beat up anyone that came and helped him. But this little girl, she walked up, she cried, she pushed it off of her father's head. She was so consistently there for her father, SubhanAllah. And when you think of the tragedy that happened in the Prophet's life, it happened in her life too. She lost her mother. It was the year of sorrow. They boycotted their family. She lost her mother and she went to the Prophet's life and afterwards and she's in tears. She's saying, I can't sleep. Where is my mother? He tells her she's in Jannah. She's in a happy place, SubhanAllah. Whatever the greatest relief when you lose someone is knowing that they're in a better place, SubhanAllah. She loses her mother and SubhanAllah, not too long after she lost her mother, one of the other companions goes to the Prophet's life. And she tells him, she tells him she's like, you know, who's going to help you with your children and your household? And he says, who can ever be after Khadija? He starts, she could see he was shaken and she felt that the Sahaba she was saying, I felt guilty that I even brought this up. And then he told her, he's like, no, who do you mean? He said, So the Prophet's life and proposed to both of them, saying the Saudi and joined the Prophet's life and his household. By then it was hurt. So say that married, we just heard, married Sayyidina, birth man, all the Allah, and moved to Habisha. They went with the first migration to Habisha, to Abyssinia, and then they came back. SubhanAllah. So again, her family did original happy household of the Prophet's life. She was the one that was trying to maintain it for the Prophet's life and maintaining this home for him, every time someone would propose and it's not like random people propose, like Abu Bakr all the Allah and propose and she's like, I want to stay with my father. I want to stay with my father. She stayed with her father up until the point where her father and Abu Bakr all the Allah did the hijra because if the family of the Prophet's life leaves, they're going to try to kill him. So she's worried for her father but he has to leave and her and her sister Umqa Thumar actually left behind and they end up doing the migration later. We know the story of Sayyidina Ali, the bed of the Prophet's life Sayyidina Fatima and Umqa Thumar we usually don't hear the stories and the sacrifice of the women. Also stayed behind as a protection for his life Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam because if they left, people would try to cut and find him and kill him. So they realize the Prophet's life is gone and now it's safe for them to go and she's on an animal and one of the enemies of the Prophet's life kicked the animal until she fell off and she was hurt and her and Umqa Thumar walk the rest of the way to Medina. Imagine this sacrifice. It takes two weeks by horseback or by camelback. Now it's like what? Four hour drive? She walked that. Her and her mother and her and her sister Umqa Thumar and they get to Medina and the Prophet's life is married to Sayyidina Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and now for the first time her father is moving on and he's getting married. So now she starts to consider marriage for herself and the Prophet's life knows who she likes he knows his daughter as well. He would never break his daughter's hearts. Subhanallah. These other people come and propose and they're like Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is like thanks but no thanks. Until Sayyidina Ali and all the other people are like we think she likes you. It's like but what am I supposed to do? And mind you Ali and all the other people didn't have a lot of money. We talked about how Sayyid Khadija and all the other people gave away all of her wealth. I was the wealth of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam his wealth as well and Fatima and all the other people his wealth as well. Sayyidina Ali didn't have a lot of money. He grew up in the household of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam they grew up together. They were really close. You could say they were childhood friends. Subhanallah he goes to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam's house and he just goes and he stands in front of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and just loses his nerve and just sits there. How are you supposed to go to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam? Like can I marry your daughter? Like how are you supposed to do that? Until the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam looks at him and says did you need something Ali? And then he's like right? So funny Subhanallah. And then he's like yeah, we're asking about Fatima. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says Ahlan wa sahlan. Like okay, you're welcome. And then he's like he just got up and left. He didn't even know what to do next. And then they don't like no, no, go back. Go back and officially propose. He already told you it's okay. So he goes back and he proposes to say the Fatima R.A. officially proposes and the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says do you have something to give her as a gift? He's like I don't have anything. He didn't have wealth. And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said remember you had this zed or you had the shield. You have one thing. Go get that one thing. So he goes get to the one thing and he comes back and also like I'm trying to say the Fatima R.A. is like yeah, I got my dowry is a shield. But so indicative of her life Subhanallah. They sell the shield and she ends up with one pillow, one cover. Her house is so simple. So simple. Subhanallah. And she marries Sayyidina Ali R.A. and there's a moment where Sayyidina Ali R.A. is thinking about taking a second wife because this was normal for the Arabs at the time. Say the Fatima is like you are not doing that. She goes and she complains to her father and her father actually goes to Sayyidina Ali R.A. and he's like you know Asidina R.A.'s Husband wasn't even Muslim and when I told him he wasn't allowed to take a second wife. Like he was down with that. And then he tells him Fatima minni Fatima is is a part of me. What hurts her hurts me. And Sayyidina Ali R.A. is like I will not do anything that will harm her. Their house in Medina Subhanallah. When you go to who's been to Medina? Anyone? So the Prophet S.A. is buried in Hajj in the house of the house of the house of the house of the house Fajr. What is now a large walk in closet is the size of their rooms that was their houses and they had a row of houses the mothers the believers R.A.'s and Sayyidina Fatima and Sayyidina Ali R.A.'s also had a small house the Prophet S.A. on his way to Fajr he would call out to them and he says it's time for Fajr and he says wants to remove any evil from you or family of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, come wake up, come to Fajr. They were neighbors, they were right next to each other. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam every time he would travel, he would come back and the first thing he would do is that he would go to the house of Fatima al-Dillana and he would give her salams. And any time he walked into a room, sorry, any time he was sitting there and she walked into a room, he would stand up for her. He would go, he would kiss her and he would have her sit in his spot wherever he was sitting or he would have her sit right exactly next to him and she would do the same for him. They clearly had a deep, deep bond. There's so many narrations of like, and then someone came in and the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was taking a shower and say the Fatima al-Dillana was the one that was holding the cover for him so he could shower, just normal day-to-day life. She was just there for him every single time, SubhanAllah. And she would have a disagreement with Sayyidina Ali, they're a young couple. We have this idea of like, the perfect marriage doesn't have challenges. You argue about stuff. The best couple in the world fights over the thermostat. Every couple fights over the thermostat, SubhanAllah. And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, like they had this discussion once and she was frustrated with him and he went to pray in the, went and fell asleep in the masjid and the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam woke him up. He's like, get up, the one who covered the dirt. Come on, get up. What's going on? What's going on with you and Fatima al-Dillana? And he goes and he reconciles between them, SubhanAllah. One of the days their things got really difficult because they didn't have, they didn't have wealth. Sayyidha Fatima al-Dillana asked, her husband told her is like, ask your father if he can get support, if we can get like a, someone to come help us at home. And she went to her father and then she lost her nerve and came back. She's like, I couldn't ask him. So he's like, I'll go ask. So then he goes back and they ask him and the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says, I can't give you when there are people that are hungry, when Ahlu Suffa don't have to eat. So Ahlu Suffa was essentially a homeless shelter in the masjid of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, where anyone that didn't have anywhere else to go went to the masjid. This is what our masjid should be. It should be the place where people, when people are in need, they should know to just come to the masjid. And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam told them, I can't give you wealth when Ahlu Suffa don't have to eat. And then it hurt his heart. He said, I can't. He just turned down to his daughter. It hurt him. So he went back to them and he told them, let me give you something that's better. After every Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam say, Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha, sorry, Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar, 10 times each. And before you go to sleep, say, Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, and Allahu Akbar 33, 33, and 34 times each. And Sayyidina Ali, Rally Allah, 30 years later, he said, we never, like, we never missed a night. Every single time. Every single time. Subhanallah. In the fourth, Subhanallah, over time she ended up started having her own children. And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was so excited having children because she had children. Subhanallah, he lost his sons when they were young. And she was there to witness her parents losing their child. And the Meccans, like celebrating the death of her brother, Wal'ayadu Billah. They're horrible people. Celebrate the death of a child. Subhanallah. So finally, she has her own children. She has Sayyidina Al-Hassan in the third year of the Hijrah. Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is ecstatic. He loved her kids. Sayyidina Al-Hassan, Al-Hassan was in the fourth year of the Hijrah. And there's so many stories. Like the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is in Sujood and one day they're in Salah and then the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam just never comes up from Sujood and they're just sitting there. They're waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting. He's been in Sujood for a long time. Till finally he gets up and they ask him, Ya Rasulallah, what happened? And he said, Oh, you know, Hassan Hussain, we're sitting on my head. I was waiting till they were done. Any Masjid that doesn't have children, be worried about the next generation. Any Masjid that doesn't have women, really be worried about the next generation. Well, actually, no, be worried about this generation because if the women aren't there, you're really screwing up. Subhanallah. Then she had her daughter Zaynab in the fifth year of the Hijrah and Umku Thum. She named her children after her sisters. Subhanallah. So, so much beauty. Like you could feel the love emanating from this family. Subhanallah. Subhanallah. So, as she also had her children, they also had dreams about their children. And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam as each of her children were born because she out of all of the lineage of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam came through Fatima, R.A. came through the children of Sayyidina Ali, R.A. The only one exception was Sayyidina Zaynab, R.A. One of her daughters actually ended up marrying Sayyidina Ali, R.A. after the passing of, say, the Fatima, R.A. So again, all of the lineage came from there. And her children, we talked about Ahl al-Suffah how she would go and she would feed them. So much so, there is a narration actually in Surah- How much time do I have? Let me keep going until you tell me to stop. I love you too. Okay. Sounds good. Subhanallah. In Surah Al-Insan, which in and of itself is the Surah of the human. What is the state of human being? Subhanallah. What does it mean to be a human being? All of philosophy is based on what is what is man? Except I'm not going to go down there. That I have seven minutes. I won't go down that road. Subhanallah. In that Surah, ayah number eight through ten actually describes a situation that happened to Sayyidina Ali and Faltima, R.A. So they were fasting and the ayah says وَيَتْعَيْمُونَ الطْعَمَا لَاْهُ بِهِ مِسْكِنَا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا And they feed the food despite their love for it, someone who is impoverished in our war. So the first day they're fasting and they have food and they're about to eat and someone comes and knocks on the door and he says يَا أَهْلَ بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهُ أَوْ فَيْمِيَدَ رَفْسَلَيْسَلَّمْ I'm one of the poor of the Muslims so they give them the food and the only thing they have water left is water. So the Prophet Sayyidina Ali, R.A. and Faltima and Hassan Hussain only drink water. And then the next day again they have food and they're excited. They didn't eat the day before and they have food and someone knocks on the door and he says I'm an orphan and they give him food and they just drink water and they bring their fast done water and then the third day a prisoner of war and after the third day SubhanAllah the Prophet Sayyidina Ali comes and realizes they're his neighbors and they're hungry they haven't eaten in three days. SubhanAllah he sees the children crying they're hungry and the Prophet Sayyidina Ali hurts his heart that his family is hungry and SubhanAllah Sayyidina Ali Hassan was known for his eloquence Sayyidina Ali and SubhanAllah I'm gonna talk about him in a second SubhanAllah they go to the Prophet Sayyidina Ali Hassan and he realizes that they're in pain and he finds them food but it's so beautiful the next ayat says إِنَّ مَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ لَا نُلِيدُ مِكُمْ جَزَاءً وَلَا شَكُورًا We feed you for the face of Allah ﷻ We don't want from you any reward or any gratitude We're seeking it from Allah ﷻ رَبِّنَ يَوْمَنْ عَبُوْسَ الْقَمْطَرِيرَ That we fear from our Lord a day where like عبَسَ is like that you know how you're like frowning قَمْطَرِيرَ this really difficult day SubhanAllah We fear from Allah a very difficult day This is why we're feeding this was the household of the Prophet ﷺ Before she passed away similar to the narration about her mother how Sayyidina Jibril ﷺ came and gave the Prophet ﷺ a good tidings about his wife خَدِيجَ رَلِهُ عَنْهَا عَنْهَا again Abu Hurayda narrates that an angel is stead in Allah so the Prophet ﷺ is saying that an angel came and asked to enter to be able to visit me and he gave me the glad tidings that Fatima would be the leader of the women of my ummah and that Hassan and Hussain would be the leaders of the young Ibn of the ummah in Jannah SubhanAllah What a beautiful glad tidings SubhanAllah SubhanAllah The Prophet ﷺ towards the end like in the eighth year of SubhanAllah we kind of talked about all these things that were happening in the eighth year of the Hijra was the conquest of Mecca that was also the year that Sayyidina Zaynabud-ul-Lan her sister passed away her sister Ruqya passed away in the second year of the Hijra so after this victory of Badr the Prophet ﷺ lost his daughter and everyone in Mecca celebrating when they feel his pain but the only person that really truly felt it with him was Sayyidina Fatima-ul-Lan the conquest of Mecca happens and she loses her sister Zaynab-ul-Lan SubhanAllah in the ninth year SubhanAllah they end up losing Mecca-ul-Thum-ul-Lan just so much sorrow happening in the life of the Prophet ﷺ she is the one that is there helping him pick up the pieces every single time towards the end of his life SubhanAllah he's he's ill and everyone's coming to visit him because he's ill and she goes to his house and he whispers something in her ear and she cries and he whispers something else and she smiles and Sayyidina-ul-Lan is describing this she said I've never seen someone smile through sadness like that and she asked her what did he say she said I can't I can't expose the secret of the Prophet ﷺ but after the Prophet ﷺ passed she asked her again she said what did he say she said the first time he told her that Jibril ﷺ used to come every year and he used to he used to read the Qur'an with the Prophet ﷺ and this year he did it twice this is my end I'm going to pass from this illness she cried I just want to note that out of all of the children of the Prophet ﷺ the worst thing that happened in the history of the is the passing of the Prophet ﷺ the only one that could live to live through it was actually Fatima-ul-Lanah it was part of the mercy of Allah's Panathana for his other children that they didn't have to live through that and the only one that had the fortitude to actually live through it and survive it that had the spiritual resilience to be able to live through that was Fatima-ul-Lanah and he told her this and she cried and then he told her you will be the first of my family to join me and she smiled she knew her time was near six months after the passing of the Prophet ﷺ she passed away on the third day of Ramadan her mother passed away when the 27th of Ramadan so many similarities to the other women I wanted to point out because her children Sayyidina al-Hassan-ul-Lanah when turmoil started upheaval started to happen in the ummah Sayyidina al-Hassan-ul-Lanah was known for his eloquence and he's the one that brought the ummah together he healed this rift after the death of his father Ali-ul-Lanah and afterwards Sayyidina al-Hassan-ul-Lanah who was SubhanAllah he was known for his stutter there was a moment where he comes to speak to the Prophet ﷺ in the Masjid and you know how everyone all of a sudden goes quiet and this little boy is talking to his his grandfather and he starts to stutter and he's struggling to get it out and the Prophet ﷺ saw how everyone looked at him and he said this is the stutter that he inherited from his uncle Musa Ali-ul-Lanah few people spoke truth to power like her children Sayyidina al-Hassan-ul-Lanah spoke truth to power I know this is a dark place in Islamic history but SubhanAllah the moment where Sayyidina al-Hassan-ul-Lanah and the men of the family of the Prophet ﷺ are killed is because they said spiritual authority will never be subservient to the political authority of the time what they preserved for the ummah till the end of time she was an educator she was a state's woman that raised educators and states people that were willing to give their lives for the for the message of the Prophet ﷺ and after he has killed her daughter Sayyina Abdullah-ul-Lanah becomes the matriarch of the family of the Prophet ﷺ and they bring her into the court of the person that killed her family when Sayyidina al-Hassan-ul-Lanah when they told him like there's so much of this happening and he says my sanity like my calm is knowing that this is all happening unto the merciful eye of Allah ﷺ it wasn't hey I'm in this fight and I'm angry they sacrificed for Islam and they did it so willingly and after she witnessed her brothers her sons all of the men in her family except for one be massacred she walked they bring her into the court and they tell her what did you see today she said I've never seen anything from my Lord that wasn't beautiful the family of the Prophet ﷺ being part of the family of the Prophet ﷺ meant that you carried a heavier burden than everyone else that fickle-wise you don't they can't receive zikr so that no until the day of judgment can come and say that his family benefited from it they're actually disadvantaged by being part of the family of the Prophet ﷺ economically not disadvantaged in any other way subhanallah it is an honor to be from the lineage of the Prophet ﷺ the Prophet ﷺ there's so many hadith where he says I'm reminding you of my family the family of the Prophet ﷺ there's this unfortunate idea that the Shia Allah of the family of the Prophet ﷺ and the Sunnis love the the friends of the Prophet ﷺ it's a Muslim thing to love everyone the Prophet ﷺ loved family, friends bring us all with them on the day of judgment and in jannah with all of them they all love the Prophet ﷺ that's what bound them all together do not ever let anyone tell you that someone else it's oh it's part of them to love so and so more no if the Prophet ﷺ loved them we love them and these stupid divisions that people put in the ummah so unbelievable if someone says I love Allah and His Prophet I love them because they love Allah and His Prophet we should never let anyone divide us subhanallah the family of the Prophet ﷺ is honored until the day of judgment subhanallah a lot of them I'm from Egypt so say does I know really Allah and one of the narrations is that she's buried in Egypt the Syrians might fight me over it but this is an Egyptian I just want to say it's Egypt just because I'm not doing that the legacy of Sayyid al-Fatima radiullah is the emotional labor of caring people including her father sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and I just wanted to end with this because I know that like part of the legacy of these women we had a we had a session with Dr. Dana Austin who's a professor at Rutgers University she was talking about the women in Malcolm X's life did you know it was his sister that converted to Sunni Islam before him do you know it was his sister that had him transferred to a prison that had a library so he could read Subhanallah the labor that women do Dr. Bedi Shabaaz is the one who actually carried on his legacy his youngest daughter recently passed away I think within the last week Allah at Haram women do emotional labor to love someone that society says is not valuable and should be unlovable is an act of resistance when we talk about building community consistent kindness is how we build community our love for each other is not oh fun added thing this is the foundation of what our relationship is in hopes of one day meeting Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and when on the day of judgment like ya Allah I loved your people because they're your people Subhanallah may Allah continue to fill our hearts with love for each other and allow us to enter into Jannah with ease together
