alhamdulillah
if you remember last class we said
that the witness of the Prophet Alam
returned him to his
mom when he was four years of age after
encountering the Archangel gibel
splitting his chest in an operation
taking his heart washing it in zamzam
water and returning it extra acting
whatever Shan would have
utilized from that heart so now his
heart is purified and shatan had no way
to do anything evil with the prophet
Alat wasam and this incident happened
twice in the lifetime of the Prophet
alham once when he was four years of age
and the second time before the
miraculous night Journey as we will come
and discuss later on
inshallah the prophet stayed with his
mom for two
years from 4 till 6 and when he was 6
years of
age Amina wanted to visit her maternal
uncles and
aunts who lived in
Medina so she took her son and traveled
all the way to Medina and stayed there
for about a
month as we know at the time it was a
known fact that whoever went to
Medina would
encounter a strange illness and a
fever that
would cause a great deal of hardship to
people and sometimes it may be fatal to
others which unfortunately was the case
with the prophets
Mother after her month's
stay she feel a a bit
sick so she went back with her son to
Mecca the distance between Mecca and
Medina is about 500
kilm give or take
and by train it's about couple of hours
and few minutes by car it's almost five
to 6 hours by camel it may take a good 3
days
trip so it was a hard
trip and if one was sick and having
fever that is even
worse unfort
unfortunately her health deteriorated on
the way and in Al AB which is an area
between Mecca and Medina she
died and was buried
there so this young child 6 years of age
was taken back to his grandfather in
Mecca
and his grandfather had a strange
attachment though he had many many
children and grandchildren yet no one
caught his
attention his empathy his Mercy his love
more than
Muhammad
so this child would do things no one
else could dare to do he would say sit
on his
[Music]
grandfather's chair and his uncles would
try to bring him down
but his grandfather would say leave him
this son of mine will have a huge and
bright future because he could see it in
his face and we can see this in our
children sometimes that this child is
going to be something and this sh is
going to be a bum
unfortunately this happens but with the
prophet it was pretty
obvious he loved him a lot and he
favored his own grandson more than any
of his own
Sons This Love that he showered the
prophet with
unfortunately lasted only for two
years just as the prophet was 80 years
of age another catastrophe his
grandfather dies
but before he died
he
gave Prophet Muhammad Alam to his uncle
Abu Talib and he told Abu Talib to take
good care of his
nephew so Abu Talib took him in and he
protected him he sheltered him he cared
for
him of course the prophet
am being brought up in his uncle's house
was not rich and neither was his uncle
who had many children so at
some part of the
time or some point of time the prophet
had to work and he worked as he told us
as a
Shepherd for some families and he worked
in trade sallallahu alaihi alhi wasallam
just to to make ends
meet when the prophet Alam
was a
teenager like 13 14 years of
age his
uncle took him on a trade journey to
Syria and this was the norm in Arabia
trade came from Yemen to Mecca and from
Syria to Mecca and it was a hub because
people from all over the world came for
pilgrimage to the Kaa so they would at
the same time of their religious
Journey trade and buy things and sell
things in this season that takes place
every
year so in one of these Caravans Abu
Talib took his nephew with him and went
to Syria in the books of
s this is
affirmative and certain that the prophet
went to
Syria what comes next is
debatable
where there is no authentic Hadith of
the monk bah encountering the prophet
Alat
wasam and The Story Goes that he
was met by the monk bah who was in his
Monastery never ever to come down and
meet such Caravans that
Caravan he came down which was shocking
to them and he started to look at each
and every one of them until he stopped
at the prophet Alam and he said that
this is the leader of the worlds this is
the messenger of the world of the the of
Allah to the
worlds and Allah will send him as a
mercy to the
worlds all of this is not
authentic and there's not an authentic
Hadith and when they ask him how did you
know he said that I have um seen that
every tree and every um uh piece of rock
or stone were prostrating and greeting
him and they don't do this except for
prophets how would you know this did you
live to see prophets before him and this
thing is being done to him so these
stories we do
not accept and take to be true and we
just read them because the books of s
included
them now he recognized the prophet s
wasallam by what we know know that the
prophet had which is the Seal of the
prophethood which was something between
the shoulder blades of the Prophet at
his back like the egg of a dove or a
small apple and this is a sign of
prophethood know that the prophet was
known to have and it was his description
in previous
scriptures and
the monk ordered Abu Talib not to go all
the way to Syria because if the Jews
were to know and hear of him they would
kill
him so he ordered Abu Talib to send him
back to Mecca and so did Abu Talib he
sent the prophet wasallam back to Mecca
with some of uh um his
men the prophet Alam told us that he
witnessed an
alliance now this
Alliance is known as the alliance of the
uh um
alul uh the various
Alliance and this was formed in the
month
of and the month of the is one of the
Sacred months we have four sacred months
every single year and this is when the
clans of Banu Hashim Banu
ald
Z they all
gathered in the house of
Abdullah and they had this Pledge of
Allegiance among one
another that they would not find anyone
in Mecca who was
oppressed except that they would avenge
him and anyone who was wronged they
would make the
wrongdoers pay for what they had
done so this was a noble cause and the
prophet sallallahu alaihi Ali wasallam
accepted that and he
witnessed
it Al albani may Allah have mercy on his
soul authenticated the Hadith where the
Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said
I was present in the house of
Abdullah when an alliance was
formed instead of which I would not like
to have red camels which is the most
valuable thing in to the Arabs and if I
were to be invited
to such an
alliance in the time of Islam I would
respond so the prophet Sall wasallam
praised this Alliance though it was
formed at the time of kufur and not only
that he said if I were to be invited to
a similar Alliance in
Islam I would accept such an invitation
and this
also shows us that
nowadays International treaties that may
happen between
countries some of the youngsters some of
the youth would say Oh They'll they'll
shoot from the they start shoot from the
hip as they say and they would oppose it
and not only oppose it they
would accuse people of kufur and shik
for contributing in such an alliance you
cannot contribute you cannot participate
you cannot join such International
agencies this is kufur this is sh no
it's not as long as there's nothing
against
Islam our Prophet told us Sall wasallam
if it was to serve Justice and Humanity
without having anything to do to go
against Islam that would be uh allowed
without any problem and Allah Knows
Best finally we have
to notice that as the prophet Sall
alam's up upbringing was in
Mecca the norm upon the youth in Mecca
was to party all night
long and to be wasted drinking wine at
night and to worship idols listen to
music and concert
Allah protected the prophet sallallah
alaihi wasallam from all of that so the
prophet sallallahu alaihi alhi
wasallam did not ever engage in such uh
issues he
hated whenever someone swore by their
Idols he would never touch any of the
idols seeking blessings like like
everyone else he would never eat
anything that was slaughtered for these
Idols or anything that had other than
the name of Allah mentioned to
it and he
tried one night or two nights to go to a
concert and listen to
music and he failed because Allah made
him fall asleep so he knew that this is
from Allah and he never attempted it
again and in one narration while he was
rebuilding the Kaaba with the people of
qur when part of it was demolished due
to a flood
water he was helping his uncle Abbas and
others to carry big chunks of of rocks
so his uncle said to him why don't you
take your waist wrapper and put it on
your shoulder to protect your shoulder
from these heavy rocks but this meant
that
his would be exposed when he attempted
to do this he
fainted immediately and fell to the
ground looking to the heavens saying to
the people around him where is my waist
wrapper where is my waist wrapper and it
was put back on him again and never ever
he was
seen after
thatat exposing his
that was the norm at the time that
people would expose their AAS in public
especially if they had a legitimate
reason such as protecting their bodies
with their clothes but the prophet Salli
wasallam was protected by Allah there
are so many
incidents for Allah's protection of his
Prophet sallallah alhi wasallam to be
the most
pure the most honest the most truthful
among all men
that this is something that no one could
have denied and no
one does deny till date as he is the
best man ever to had walked the Earth
Sall Al wasam with this we come to the
conclusion of our third episode or third
class until we meet you in the following
