[0:14]foreign in our last lesson we mentioned a story regarding imam al-qaeda

[0:53]and said his daughter fatima sarawak and particular miracles that happened due

[1:03]to the blessings of these two infallibles we mentioned the story of

[1:09]the christian man called yahoo jacob who was in baghdad and was

[1:17]sick and through the blessings of imam and calvin and said with

[1:23]allah's permission of course he was healed from a difficult sickness that

[1:29]that that jacob was was experiencing although he had went to doctors

[1:39]and doctors treated him they weren't able to heal him but through

[1:43]imam al-qaeda's intercession he was healed and as a result he became

[1:47]muslim then we also we we mentioned the fifth point if you

[1:55]remember regarding the miracles of rasulallah and that is we said that

[2:05]the miracles of rasulallah this brought us to uh the meaning of

[2:11]tawatur and the two types of tawatur so we mentioned that basically

[2:17]when we have multiple chains of narrators multiple chains of narrators um

[2:24]speaking about the same hadith so we have multiple chains of narrators

[2:32]that transmit the same hadith such that it is impossible for all

[2:38]of these narrators to have agreed on fabricating a lie or to

[2:48]have agreed on lying when transmitting that hadith and it is also

[2:52]impossible that all of them made a mistake in understanding what took

[2:59]place when this happens we have toward one we also mentioned that

[3:06]with tawatur basically one specific hadith or one specific event or occurrence

[3:14]must be transmitted from one generation to another and in each generation

[3:20]there should be an abundant amount of people who are transmitting that

[3:29]specific hadith that specific narration or speaking about a specific event or

[3:33]occurrence then we mentioned the two types of tawa turtle sili and

[3:41]tawatur ishmaeli and we said with tawa turtofsili what's happening is the

[3:47]the narrators are mentioning the same narration such as the tradition of

[3:58]so they're mentioning the same exact narration or the same exact event

[4:03]with tawatur ishmaeli what's happening is they're mentioning different narrations or different

[4:14]events but all of those narrations and or events revolve around the

[4:18]same topic and we gave an example if you remember pertaining to

[4:23]imam ali's courage we said the courage of imam ali is undeniable

[4:28]undeniable muslims know muslims and non-muslims at least those who have looked

[4:37]into the personality and biography of imam ali know that imam ali's

[4:43]courage was unique it was unique now his courage manifested in multiple

[4:48]instances such as the battle of badr battle of uhud the battle

[4:55]of khandak and other battles now in each battle the events of

[5:00]that battle were narrated by a set of narrators a number of

[5:09]narrators possibly each of those events weren't narrated in tewatur but when

[5:15]we bring all of those events together we find that we have

[5:20]tawatur ishmaeli we find that all of those narrators who inherited what

[5:30]happened in those battles and what imam ali did in those battles

[5:34]have agreed on one point which is imam ali's courage was impeccable

[5:40]it was outstanding hence we say it is impossible that all of

[5:47]those different narrators agreed on what on lying regarding imam ali's courage

[5:54]hence we have towards we mentioned these points in detail and today

[6:01]inshallah we want to um shed light on a dialogue that took

[6:05]place between imam and a jewish scholar where in the gathering of

[6:16]then inshaallah we want to shed light on some events that happened

[6:19]after us after he entered medina and after he chose to reside

[6:29]in the house of abu ayobe ansari rahimahullah now before we read

[6:37]the words of imam already you need to understand that was a

[6:48]devious caliph in fact he was the most devious caliph amongst the

[6:56]cows of the most devious one and due to his deviousness um

[7:03]he tried to lure imam into multiple traps so in better terms

[7:12]he made different plots to directly or indirectly harm imam ali but

[7:21]every time he would make a plot against the imam the plot

[7:26]would back fire on al-moon hence at the end he saw that

[7:30]it was time to execute the imam to kill him through poison

[7:35]now one of those plots was what was gathering scholars from different

[7:41]religions christians for example christian scholars jewish scholars uh sabia scholars and

[7:50]others so they may debate with imam thinking that imam will fail

[8:00]in the debate will lose the debate however as i told you

[8:07]the plot backfired on al-mahmoon because imam al-salam basically was able to

[8:13]silence every individual who debated with him every scholar who debated with

[8:19]him and what's beautiful about this debate which we were we will

[8:25]shed light on used the proofs that each scholar accepts in order

[8:32]to prove him wrong so when speaking with the christian scholar he

[8:38]would use verses from the bible when speaking with the jewish scholar

[8:44]he would use verses from the taurat or the old testament etc

[8:50]so today inshallah we want to look at a specific part regarding

[8:54]miracles the issue of miracles the topic of miracles was mentioned by

[8:59]imam ali as he was speaking to a jewish scholar let me

[9:07]just send you the text and we'll read it inshaallah by the

[9:11]way you can find the whole debate that i'm mentioning in the

[9:16]book is his words to who to a jewish scholar which was

[10:00]a title of course not a name nonetheless we told him oh

[10:06]rasut i want to ask you about your prophet musa son of

[10:10]imran said he said ask he told him what is the proof

[10:21]that confirms the prophethood of musa it's as if he's telling him

[10:27]you've believed in musa based on what what's your proof that confirms

[10:33]musa's prophet what makes you certain as a prophet he told him

[10:47]the jewish man told the imam that musa alaihissalam presented miracles that

[10:55]weren't that weren't presented by the prophets before him so he's claiming

[11:01]that musa not only performed miracles but his miracles were also unique

[11:08]such that the previous prophets like ibrahim and others had not performed

[11:14]such miracles like what give us some examples on those miracles he

[11:41]told him like parting the sea splitting the sea open and like

[11:47]turning the staff into a snake that was moving rapidly and like

[11:54]striking a stone he struck a stone with his staff striking a

[12:02]stone and causing springs of water to stem from that stone and

[12:07]like uh when he came to pharaoh he presented two signs one

[12:28]of them was the staff which turned into a serpent and the

[12:30]other one was when he removed his hand or his arm from

[12:35]his clothing his hand began glowing like the sun then he said

[12:47]we told him the signs meaning the miracles that musa is these

[12:54]signs cannot be presented by human beings as in human beings cannot

[13:00]perform such miracles unless they are supported by allah you told him

[13:21]you've said the truth you said the truth regarding what o imam

[13:23]says you said the truth when you say that the proof that

[13:31]confirms moosa's prophet to the prophet is that he was able to

[13:40]perform miracles that other people cannot perform meaning he was able to

[13:48]perform to present great signs that normal human beings cannot present again

[13:54]unless they're aided by allah wanted to use this argument against the

[14:18]jewish scholar so he told him that whenever a person claims to

[14:29]be a prophet and then presents that same person presents a sign

[14:35]a miracle that other people cannot present when this happens isn't it

[14:44]incumbent upon you to believe in him what did the jewish scholar

[14:49]say he said no why musa he told him the jewish scholar

[15:14]said no if a person presents miracles and signs that other people

[15:18]aren't able to present we shouldn't believe in him why he's saying

[15:28]because because we believed in musa because musa musa had no likes

[15:37]he was so close to god he was the closest person to

[15:44]god and other individuals weren't as close to god as him then

[15:48]he said he said whenever a person claims to be a prophet

[15:54]unless he presents the miracles that musa presented then it is not

[16:02]incumbent upon us to believe in him so what's the claim of

[16:07]the the jewish scholar the claim is unless a prophet parts the

[16:11]sea and turns the staff into a serpent and you know causes

[16:18]his hand to glow like the sun etc etc etc unless he

[16:22]performs musa signs and miracles then we're not demanded to believe in

[16:28]him now listen to imam response is not part the see and

[16:55]they did not cause twelve springs of water to stem from a

[17:00]stone walam yukriju idea home and they did not cause their hands

[17:08]to glow and show the glowing hands to the people then he

[17:15]said and they did not turn their staffs into snakes or serpents

[17:23]that were moving rapidly so the imam is telling him but you

[17:29]are jewish you believe in the prophets before musa like adam noah

[17:38]abraham and others but not all of them presented the signs of

[17:43]musa the miracles of musa so how did you believe in them

[17:48]what's the jewish scholar what will the jewish scholars say i've told

[18:20]you that when someone claims to be a prophet and presents signs

[18:26]meaning miracles that other people aren't able to present whether those signs

[18:33]are the same signs that moosa presented or not will not make

[18:37]a difference as long as they can present signs and miracles that

[18:42]the normal human being cannot present then we have to believe in

[18:48]them what do you find here you find that the jewish man

[18:53]changed his words when imam he changed his words previously he was

[19:01]saying we don't have to believe in anyone who claims prophethood even

[19:04]if he performs a miracle unless he performs moosa's miracles when imam

[19:09]what about the previous prophets the ones before musa they didn't perform

[19:14]the same miracles here what did he do he changed his words

[19:18]he had to change his words in order to you know find

[19:23]a solution to that problem so here imam made him he made

[19:28]him admit the truth truth is what the truth is the intellect

[19:33]tells you when a person claims to be a prophet and is

[19:38]able to present an actual miracle then you have to believe in

[19:44]him but again please focus on the word actual it has to

[19:48]be an actual miracle it cannot be something imaginary something that we

[19:54]imagine to be a mirror it has to be a real miracle

[20:04]fight does someone have a question before i continue no sir no

[20:31][Music] and he used to heal the blind by the way is

[21:02]a word referring to someone who is born blind someone who is

[21:07]born blind we call him so he tells him aisa used to

[21:11]revive the dead and he used to heal those who were born

[21:14]blind and he used to heal those who were afflicted with leprosy

[21:27]and he used to take a bunch of clay and and shape

[21:38]it in a way that resembles the shape of a bird or

[21:41]a flying animal then he would blow into that clay and it

[21:46]would turn into an actual bird or flying animal with allah's permission

[21:50]so he used to perform miracles then what prevents you from believing

[21:56]in as you may know the jews they disbelieve in two great

[22:01]prophets after musa is so the imam began with asa he began

[22:11]by opening the chapter of isa before going to muhammad let me

[22:27]just send you the second portion of the debate before i continue

[22:59][Music] it is said that performed those miracles but we never witness

[23:10]those miracles so we never saw those miracles with our own eyes

[23:13]this is similar to what you hear today so when for example

[23:19]speaking with atheists or disbelievers some disbelievers will tell you we didn't

[23:27]see the miracles that the so-called miracles that certain prophets did so

[23:33]the imam told him you told him did you witness with your

[23:41]own eyes the miracles performed by musa so it's as if he's

[23:48]telling him if you don't want to believe in asa because you

[23:52]did not you didn't witness his miracles with your own eyes then

[23:57]you shouldn't believe in musa as well because you were not during

[24:02]the you are not present during that time to witness musa's miracles

[24:13]he told him the trusted companions of musa narrate that musa performed

[24:36]those miracles and those narrations the narrations that were transmitted by moosa's

[24:43]trusted companions reach you so what's he telling him he's telling him

[24:47]yes you didn't witness with your own eyes the miracles of musa

[24:55]but the narrations regarding those miracles were passed down from one generation

[25:00]to another until it reached you and based on that you believed

[25:05]in musa's miracles not to forget of course that the first generation

[25:12]uh who who witnessed the miracles of muslim amongst that generation were

[25:20]trusted companions of musa salaam please focus on the word trusted trusted

[25:25]companions of musa those trusted companions narrated what happened so here the

[25:33]jew said bella he said yes he said those narrations reached us

[25:41]so the imam said just as the narrations pertaining to musa's miracles

[26:00]reached you similarly realize the imam uses the word muta it says

[26:07]narrations regarding he says miracles also reached you then why did you

[26:13]believe in musa and disbelieve in isa you see the if we've

[26:25]understood the argument of imam will understand that it's undeniable i mean

[26:30]if you believe in musa because traditions reached you telling you that

[26:37]musa performed this miracle and that miracle then you should believe in

[26:41]isa as well because the same applies to isa alaihissalam but if

[26:44]you're going to disbelieve in isa then you should disbelieve in musa

[26:49][Music] that's then the imam said now he opens the chapter of

[27:11]muhammad same applies to prophet muhammad s in fact he tells him

[27:32]this applies to all prophets who were sent by allah subhanahu wa

[27:36]tahana what's the imam saying here it's as if he's saying when

[27:41]a prophet would come he would perform miracles and the group of

[27:49]people who were living during his time would see his miracles then

[27:52]the prophet would pass away and other generations would come into existence

[27:58]in this world and they would be required of believing in that

[28:04]prophet but since he passed away he they wouldn't be able to

[28:11]actually witness with their own eyes the miracles he performed so on

[28:15]what basis would they believe in that prophet they would believe in

[28:19]that prophet based on the trusted narrations that were passed down by

[28:29]who by the people who preceded them of course those people would

[28:34]be also trusted people and the narrations would be mutawater then the

[28:49]imam alaihissalam then the imam gave a few examples regarding the prophet

[28:56]muhammad's miracles saying one of his signs meaning his miracles was that

[29:16]he was an orphan who was poor and was a shepherd who

[29:24]used to work for people in order to uh to acquire money

[29:29]most likely when the imam is the prophet saying that he used

[29:35]to work for people to acquire money i think he is referring

[29:37]to how he worked for khadijah alaha in order to you know

[29:45]uh make some profit so nonetheless he says he was a poor

[29:52]person and he was uh an orphan he was a shepherd meaning

[29:57]during part of his life and in ajir during part of his

[30:01]life he worked for others in order to acquire money lamia he

[30:09]never he never studied a particular book and he never learned under

[30:19]the hands of a teacher which contains the stories of the prophets

[30:40]so he says that this quran contains the stories of the prophets

[30:46]and it contains their stories in detail realize when you read for

[30:53]example the story of yusuf or the story of musa or ibrahim

[30:59]or sade there are a lot of details regarding their stories mentioned

[31:04]in the quran it's not just a general you know statement that

[31:08]mentions uh that allah sent this individual to that group of people

[31:13]the end no no the prophet meaning sorry the quran presents a

[31:19]good amount of details regarding the prophets and the quran also contains

[31:34]the um it contains passages that speak about the people who were

[31:40]before us meaning the first civilizations and it contains passages that speak

[31:45]about the people who will come up until the day of judgment

[31:52]realize the quran mentions certain events that will happen prior to the

[32:00]day of judgement that have not happened until now such as the

[32:05]reappearance of sharif and how he will [Music] how he will rule

[32:16]the world alahi salaam and how the righteous will rule the world

[32:22]it also speaks about the emergence of that battle armed the emergence

[32:28]of a creation that is a dab what's a dab a dabba

[32:33]is something that walks anything that walks slowly is a dab so

[32:37]a human is a dabba an animal is a dubba and an

[32:41]insect is also adaba in surat allah says there is that will

[32:46]emerge from the earth and will speak to the people this is

[32:50]before the day of judgment who is that according to the traditions

[32:54]of he will be resurrected in this world and will emerge from

[33:02]his grave and will address the people so the quran contains passages

[33:10]that speak about the ancient civilizations the first civilizations the people before

[33:17]us and also contains passages that speak about the people who will

[33:22]come up until the day of judgement here he mentioned another miracle

[33:34]performed by rasulullah he said that the prophet used to inform the

[33:42]people of their secrets and he used to inform them of what

[33:46]they used to do in their their houses this is similar to

[33:53]what isa would inform the people of the food they had stored

[33:57]in their houses so basically the prophet would inform them of the

[34:06]unseen he would inform them of the unseen unless he was a

[34:11]prophet of god how would he know such information then he says

[34:21]he says and the prophet presented countless miracles countless so as we

[34:28]said in the previous lessons it's not that he performed one or

[34:32]two or five miracles no no he performed hundreds if not thousands

[34:37]of miracles here the jew responded you told him that all of

[35:00]these narrations regarding muhammad's prophethood and esa's prophethood and their miracles all

[35:06]of these narrations are unreliable for us to us they're unreliable so

[35:13]we cannot depend on them we cannot base our faith on these

[35:17]narrations so he basically told the imam that it is unlawful for

[35:31]us to come forth and believe in isa and muhammad when the

[35:39]narrations supporting their prophethood are unreliable hear what the imam say he

[35:52]told him are you saying that the people who testified to have

[36:01]seen the miracles of isa and muhammad sallallahu alaihi are liars are

[36:08]you claiming that those who testified that they actually saw muhammad performing

[36:14]this miracle and that miracle and those who testified that they saw

[36:20]isa performing this miracle in that miracle are you claiming that they're

[36:25]liars falam yaher jawaba here the jew could not respond why couldn't

[36:30]he respond because if he's going to say yes they're liars then

[36:35]he has to present proof and secondly secondly if those individuals like

[36:42]for example simon peter who was asa's successor or adi abner fatima

[36:53]al-hassan the family of rasulullah and his noble companions like salman and

[36:57]their likes if those people are liars then um if those people

[37:06]are liars according to what the jew is saying then what tells

[37:10]him that for example uh with all due respect of course joshua

[37:15]and the you know trusted companions of musa were not liars i

[37:21]mean if you look into the biography of the biography of the

[37:28]companions of rasulallah the noble companions of course you're you look at

[37:34]individuals who were who had high morals individuals who were honest were

[37:42]sincere so if the jew is going to believe in the words

[37:48]of the noble companions of musa that he must believe in the

[37:53]words of the noble companions of isa and the noble family members

[37:58]and companions of muhammad sallallahu alaihi is this point clear inshallah basically

[38:30]what we're trying to say is in case it's not clear the

[38:36]noble companions of musa can't be trusted more than the noble companions

[38:43]of isa or muhammad so just as he believed in those individuals

[38:51]words he must believe in the other individual's words as well so

[39:19]this brings us to the end of the um topic regarding the

[39:26]prophet's miracles we've presented five main points five main points to prove

[39:34]that we can base our faith or strengthen our faith in rasulallah

[39:43]using the narrations that speak about miracles he performed in the past

[39:49]although we cannot see those miracles today and the five points just

[39:56]so we can keep them in mind were number one most or

[40:02]a lot of these miracles were mentioned accidentally i told you this

[40:08]was the weakest point number two the quran mentioned a number of

[40:14]these miracles number three sunni scholars mentioned uh the miracles of rasulallah

[40:20]pertaining to or the miracles of themselves number four uh miracles keep

[40:30]on happening in the shrines of ahmedabad today and number five the

[40:36]miracles of rasulallah were narrated narrations regarding his miracles the least we

[40:50]can say is we have to ign we have a bit of

[41:06]time left let's shed some light on the um events that happened

[41:15]when rasulullah entered madina up until now what did we mention if

[41:20]you remember we mentioned the migration of imam ali and that rasulallah

[41:29]was waiting for imam ali to come before he entered madina when

[41:33]the imam came with the water they all entered and then the

[41:37]people of medina welcomed rasulullah and they wanted rasulullah to stay at

[41:46]their own houses meaning that every individual wanted the prophet to come

[41:52]to his own house but the prophet told them what he told

[41:55]them to let go of the she camel and it will settle

[42:00]in a specific place wherever it settles he'll resign in the house

[42:08]of the individual uh in front of which his camel will settle

[42:12]so the camel settled where in front of the house of abu

[42:17]alber the prophet chose to reside there and he stayed in his

[42:22]house for a number of months for several months now what happens

[42:30]is when the camel settles in his book it says that the

[42:45]she camel sat down in front of a merband what's a mirabad

[42:49]a mirabad uh is a place in which camels are kept that's

[42:58]a miraban but it has a another meaning as well it's also

[43:03]used to refer to a space behind a house space behind the

[43:07]house like a backyard kind of so the prophet saw that there

[43:12]was a mirabad right beside the house of abu ayoub so when

[43:18]he settled in abu ajub's house he asked about the mirabab to

[43:24]whom did it belong and a man called mahath told him it

[43:28]was for two orphans two orphans hazastat so the prophet said we

[43:38]will please its owners which means that he was thinking of what

[43:41]of buying that specific space why because he wants to build his

[43:49]mosque so since it belonged to the two orphans that the prophet

[43:56]wouldn't take it by force rather he would buy it from the

[44:01]orphans so obviously he bought it or he pleased them in a

[44:14]particular way meaning he compensated the orphans for their mirabad and he

[44:18]turned it into a message here the prophet and the muhajiri mohammed

[44:26]and ansar participated in what in building the mosque the mosque of

[44:32]rasulallah now you might ask is that the same mosque that's present

[44:38]in medina today where the prophet is varied yes it's the same

[44:40]one but it was much smaller it was much smaller uh the

[44:47]the prophetic mosque has been expanded a lot during the days it

[44:54]was also expanded by so this means that when rasulullah initially built

[45:05]the mosque with the help of his companions the mosque was much

[45:12]smaller than it is today was much smaller than it is today

[45:16]but yes in general uh the the mosque with the green dome

[45:22]where the prophet is buried to allah that is the mosque of

[45:27]rasulullah in fact the part where he's buried and its close surroundings

[45:33]are all part of the initial original mosque that was built by

[45:38]the prophet so here rasulullah and some of his companions not all

[45:43]of course as you shall hear but some of them began building

[45:47]the mosque what's interesting is rasulullah was helping rasulullah himself was helping

[45:53]them build the mosque which teaches us a lot that if you

[45:58]want to uh if you want to be a leader a good

[46:00]leader then you can't just sit down and give commands sometimes you

[46:06]need to do that sometimes you have to give a command and

[46:08]other people need to work but sometimes the leader has to participate

[46:16]with his followers you can't just sit down all the time and

[46:20]give commands when your followers see you participating with them your participation

[46:29]will motivate them in fact when they see that you aren't only

[46:37]participating rather you are uh participating with full enthusiasm and you're advancing

[46:44]them in participation that will instill a lot of enthusiasm in their

[46:52]hearts and a lot of positive energy in their hearts as well

[46:55]also it will grant you a lot of respect from your followers

[47:04]here i'd like to share with you a line of poetry some

[47:10]of the companions said when the prophet sallallahu alaihi was working a

[47:17]line of poetry which will confirm whatever we just said regarding the

[47:23]importance of participating with the followers when we are leaders the the

[47:29]the companion says he says if we're going to sit down as

[47:44]the prophet is working then our deed will be a faulty one

[47:49]will be a faulty as it will be at fault if we

[47:54]just sit down as our prophet is working and we're watching him

[48:00]also has interesting lines of poetry here that ibn hisham a sunni

[48:06]scholar mentioned in his book of seerah let me share the lines

[48:13]of poetry the imam [Music] he said those who build the mosques

[48:37]and work uh they work day and night or they work daily

[48:50]as their you know building the mosque those people cannot be compared

[48:55]to individuals who refrain from building mosques so that the dust does

[49:06]not reach them you see there were people who didn't participate in

[49:10]building the mosque of rasulallah they didn't want their bodies or their

[49:14]clothing to become dusty so this is what the imam alaihissalam to

[49:22]such people the imam alayhi salaam is referring when he's saying that

[49:27]you can't compare between a person who's working hard in building the

[49:32]mosque of rasulallah and a person who just stands and actually stands

[49:44]at a distance so he doesn't become dusty the tradition says here

[49:58]um and so he began he began saying the same lines of

[50:14]poetry and the tradition also says another tradition he was carrying two

[50:25]bricks at a time whereas the rest of the companions who were

[50:31]participating in the bill in in building the mosque were carrying one

[50:36]brick at a time ahmad was carrying one brick for himself on

[50:44]his own behalf and one brick on behalf of rasulallah that was

[50:49]his intention so he was reciting these lines of poetry and all

[50:55]of a sudden a particular companion got offended by hammer why because

[51:01]he thought amar was indirectly insulting him that companion was not participating

[51:08]in building the mosque he was actually standing at a distance so

[51:12]that the dust does not reach him so he thought ammar was

[51:19]insulting him hence he got angry who is that companion these questions

[51:34]will be answered next week um
