[0:42]welcome to our first lesson um for this year regarding the biography

[0:49]of rasulallah for some of you you were with us last year

[0:56]and others weren't so i'll give you a brief description of the

[1:02]class before we start with today's lesson this class started about two

[1:09]years ago and we shed light on multiple parts of rasulullah's life

[1:15]we started with mentioning the uh forefathers of rasulullah uh we mentioned

[1:25]and the incident of the elephant because that incident took place as

[1:32]you know when rasulullah was born on the same year of his

[1:36]birth and we also mentioned abdullah his uncle's wife finally we got

[1:52]to the prophet himself we mentioned his blessed birth what events took

[1:58]place when he was born and then we shed light on his

[2:04]childhood what happened when he was a child and what happened what

[2:08]are some vital events that took place up until he reached 40

[2:12]years of age then finally we mentioned uh important events that took

[2:18]place when he began propagating the message we mentioned that after jabra

[2:26]islam descended upon him and gave him the green light to start

[2:29]propagating the message of islam for three years rasulallah was calling people

[2:36]to islam in secrecy so there was a secret da'wah he was

[2:43]calling people to allah's path to islam secretly three years later meaning

[2:48]when he was 43 years old he was commanded by allah to

[2:54]publicly declare himself a prophet of god and so he did so

[3:01]and he faced many challenges we shed light on some of the

[3:03]challenges that he faced and we got to the migration of rasulallah

[3:10]we mentioned last year how he migrated from mecca to medina and

[3:17]how imam ali alaihissalam played a vital role in rasulullah's migration as

[3:24]he slapped on the prophet's mattress so that the polytheists who were

[3:29]intending on killing rasulallah believe that the person on rasulullah's mattress is

[3:38]none other than rasulullah himself meanwhile as imam ali was on the

[3:42]mattress of rasulullah rasulullah was migrating towards medina at first he went

[3:50]to a mountain called the mountain of taur and he went to

[3:54]that cave and remained there for three days then he continued his

[4:00]journey towards medina as usual played a vital role in uh in

[4:09]in this issue just as he plays vital roles in all of

[4:12]rasulullah's had multiple tasks to perform some of which were to return

[4:29]the trusts that people had entrusted rasulullah with as some of you

[4:33]may know rasulallah was known during the days of jahiliyyah to be

[4:42]assad meaning the truthful and the trustworthy so even after he began

[4:57]propagating the message of islam the polytheists would leave their belongings important

[5:04]belongings with rasulallah they would entrust him with those precious items of

[5:10]theirs hence when he departed to medina he told imam ali alaihissalam

[5:19]to return all of these trusts to their rightful owners and the

[5:22]imam did so this was one of the important tasks when rasulullah

[5:28]migrated again this was mentioned last year in one of our last

[5:35]lessons a second task which was which was more important than the

[5:40]first task carried by imam ali salam was to bring al-fawatim to

[5:45]rasulallah imam himself had a migration he was supposed to follow his

[5:53]prophet and cousin muhammad sallallahu alaihi but the prophet told him to

[5:59]bring the falatim with him to bring fatimatazara with him who were

[6:03]the falwatham the more three or four fatimas the first one was

[6:10]the lady of light fatima second one was fatima binit assad imam

[6:19]ali's mother the third was fatima bintas zubair not zubair the man

[6:24]who fights imam ali in in in jamal or in better terms

[6:29]the man who brings an army so they may fight imam alayhi

[6:31]salaam in basra in jaman no we're talking about zubair the son

[6:36]of abdul muttali meaning the uncle of rasulallah and uh so fatima

[6:42]binta zubair was the third fatimah and some historians say that he

[6:48]was also with fatima bintamza he was responsible of bringing fatima bened

[6:54]hamza to rasulullah so the imam ali salam migrated with the forward

[7:00]and a few muslims a number of weak muslims joined imam ali

[7:10]alayhi in that migration some of them were ayman the son of

[7:14]um iman who is martyred later on in the battle of hunain

[7:18]and his mother um was one of the sincere muslim ladies now

[7:27]what's interesting is when they migrate whenever they stall whenever they settle

[7:34]at a particular location they begin mentioning allah non-stop they mention allah

[7:44]in all of their states whether they're standing sitting down or lying

[7:48]down on their sides and they think about allah's creations hence we

[7:57]have multiple verses in surat al-imran that praise imam ali salaam and

[8:07]the we're go we're going to shed light on these verses but

[8:12]before we do keep the following point in mind which is these

[8:17]verses descended in praise of imam ali and so these verses as

[8:26]we shall see have general meanings as in they relate to any

[8:34]human being who has the traits that allah mentions but primarily initially

[8:38]when these verses came down they came down in praise of who

[8:43]of imam ali and the salaam allahi this was mentioned last year

[8:51]this was our last lesson um last year we mentioned this this

[8:55]issue the issue of the migration and today inshallah we're going to

[9:01]shed light on uh one or two verses amongst these verses in

[9:08]surat al-imran and we're going to see what we can understand from

[9:12]these beautiful verses inshallah one might say of course that what does

[9:18]this have to do with rasulallah's biography this is a class regarding

[9:24]the prophet's biography so why are we dissecting verses from the holy

[9:29]quran the answer is in reality you cannot separate the holy quran

[9:39]ultimately he was the walking talking living quran and he is the

[9:45]prophet on whom the quran descended hence when we um read any

[9:52]particular verse in the quran we can make a connection with rasulallah

[9:55]in rasulallah's life every verse in the quran is connected to his

[10:02]life in one way or another hence there is no contradiction in

[10:08]uh shedding light on quranic verses when we're studying the biography of

[10:16]rasulallah the verses we are speaking about are some of the last

[10:26]verses in surat al-imran and specifically they are verses 190 to 195

[10:36]190 to 195.

[10:39]if you want to open the quran or to open a particular

[10:43]app which has the quran in it you can um open surat

[10:49]ali imran and go to verse 190 so we can read the

[10:53]verse together insha allah just opening my 90 190 just opening the

[11:12]file here leave he says surely in the creation of the heavens

[12:07]and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day

[12:13]there are signs for men who understand there are signs for men

[12:18]who understand bear in mind when allah says heavens when the translation

[12:23]actually says heavens here it means skies we're not talking about the

[12:27]heaven which will be the abode of the believers um after they

[12:31]get judged on the day of judgement rather we're talking about the

[12:35]skies now we must understand one point when we read the holy

[12:44]quran when we read the holy quran every verse in the quran

[12:48]has at least one stop or multiple stops in it as in

[12:53]a person should stop at a particular part or several particular parts

[13:01]in the quranic verse so he may ponder upon what allah is

[13:07]saying if you want to maximize your benefit from the holy quran

[13:10]this is uh this must be applied so here we're going to

[13:17]stop in this verse in at least three parts the first part

[13:20]in which we're going to stop is the word says he says

[13:31]the word means what has two meanings and both of these meanings

[13:39]are can be used in this verse as in the verse might

[13:45]be referring to both meanings the first meaning of hulk is creating

[13:51]is the act of creating so when he says it's as if

[14:03]he's saying surely in the in in creating the skies and the

[14:10]earth there lies signs for those who understand what does that imply

[14:18]it implies that since allah created everything in the skies and created

[14:27]everything in the earth this action itself the act of of of

[14:34]creating meaning bringing something from non-existence into existence this act itself holds

[14:42]signs for those who understand what's one sign that that it holds

[14:51]one sign is that there is a creator for if you have

[14:56]something which did not exist then it got moved from non-existence into

[15:03]existence that means someone some being out there who did not need

[15:09]to be created brought into existence so the first meaning of is

[15:16]the act of creating the second meaning of meaning creation so in

[15:28]this case if we refer to the second meaning the verse would

[15:31]be saying surely within the creations that lie in the skies and

[15:40]the creations that lie in the earth there are signs for those

[15:47]who understand there are signs for those who understand any questions on

[15:54]the word hulk before we move on no questions okay then allah

[16:17]says here we have to stop as well where we have to

[16:20]stop on the word what is the meaning of also has two

[16:27]meanings the first meaning of is difference so when he says he's

[16:39]referring to the differences that lie within daytime and night time ultimately

[16:49]days and nights have similarities but they also have differences so allah

[16:54]based on the first meaning is shedding light on the differences that

[17:03]that exists between day and night and he's telling you that if

[17:10]you look at these differences you will see marvelous signs for example

[17:15]let us think for a minute in order to see one clear

[17:23]difference one clear yet marvelous difference between daytime and nighttime when it's

[17:30]day when it's person feels energized correct and he carries out his

[17:36]daily activities such as working studying and other activities whereas at night

[17:44]a person returns home usually and rusts and sleeps at least part

[17:51]of the night obviously you might say there are people who sleep

[17:55]during the day and wake up during the night which is correct

[17:59]but ultimately we weren't created to do that as in allah wanted

[18:06]us to carry out our daily affairs during the day and to

[18:11]use the night so we may re-energize ourselves so we may rest

[18:16]and sleep at least during part of the night yes the believer

[18:21]the believer uses part of the night to sleep and part of

[18:26]the night to do what to get closer to allah we have

[18:32]quranic verses and traditions emphasizing on this matter on what on using

[18:40]the night to worship allah and to strengthen our relationship with him

[18:47]using the night is essential why because at night people are asleep

[18:55]and all the distractions that might uh pull you away from worship

[19:03]fade away correct in fact at night you're able to concentrate more

[19:10]on your worship or on your quranic recitation or on your supplication

[19:14]etc so making use of that of of of the night to

[19:21]get closer to allah he says and you can find the tradition

[19:32]in the book what is he saying he's saying that in order

[19:59]to reach allah one must undergo a journey one must go through

[20:06]a journey now when you go through a journey when you travel

[20:10]from point a to point b usually you travel on some sort

[20:16]of means of transportation such as a car or a train or

[20:22]an airplane etc during the days of salaam people would travel on

[20:33]donkeys mules camels horses etc imam is saying if you want to

[20:36]reach allah subhanahu wa then you must go through a journey you

[20:41]must travel and your means of transportation during that travel will be

[20:46]the night meaning you must make use of part of the night

[20:52]even if even if it's 15 minutes or 20 minutes or an

[20:58]hour part of the night to strengthen your relationship with allah bear

[21:05]in mind that reaching allah means getting closer to him spiritually because

[21:11]you can't reach allah physically since he's not physical you cannot reach

[21:16]allah physically because he's not bound to any time or space he's

[21:20]the creator of time and space um thus he cannot be reached

[21:24]physically he he himself is not physical the speaking about what he's

[21:32]speaking about uh getting closer to allah spiritually if you want to

[21:39]reach higher levels of perfection if you want to cleanse your soul

[21:46]from vices if you want allah to be more pleased with you

[21:48]then definitely you must use part of the night of allah at

[21:55]that time yes um what do you mean by that do you

[22:00]mean like you have to pray to him or thank him or

[22:01]what do you mean by that yes when we say that you

[22:07]must use parts of the night to get closer to allah we

[22:10]mean use part of the night to worship allah azzawajal by either

[22:15]praying by for example doing salat and or reciting quran or reciting

[22:20]supplications or doing some sort of worship that leads you closer to

[22:27]him subhanallah such as reflecting thinking about allah's verses or about allah's

[22:34]creations or about heaven and hell that uh is the best type

[22:38]of worship to actually think and reflect upon the issues we mentioned

[22:48]is that clear habibi yes you have other questions so we said

[23:03]going back to the verse the first meaning of what is difference

[23:12]now if we understand this point if we understand that people carry

[23:18]out their daily activities during the day and usually they rest and

[23:25]sleep at night we're going to realize the following point which is

[23:32]allah understands our needs and he understands that we need daytime just

[23:39]as we need night time when he provides us with both day

[23:45]and night allah is showing us that he does not forget his

[23:53]creations that he covers he makes sure to cover their needs to

[24:02]fulfill their needs so by creating the day and the night allah

[24:08]subhanahu wa'ta'ala is kind of reminding me of you that he never

[24:13]forgot us which will remind us not to forget him it's as

[24:18]if he's telling you through the creation of the day and the

[24:21]night i have not forgotten you and the proof behind that is

[24:28]i've i made sure to create both times knowing that you o

[24:32]humans are in need of both days and nights so make sure

[24:37]not to forget me also it's as if he's telling you if

[24:44]i the merciful allah the kind allah do not forget you and

[24:46]make sure to create daytime and nighttime for your sake do you

[24:51]think i will forget you on the day of judgment if you

[24:55]obey me in this world obviously he won't subhan so there are

[25:03]lies there there is a sign that lies uh within the difference

[25:08]that exists between daytime and night time the difference between day and

[25:17]night the second meaning of ichthyolaf is alteration meaning days con the

[25:25]day comes after the night and the night comes after the day

[25:32]right every day is uh divided into two parts so after tonight's

[25:36]night we're going to have a day after tomorrow's day we're going

[25:41]to have a night etc that itself that phenomenon itself is also

[25:47]a sign of god subhanahu wa sa in the creation of the

[26:05]heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the

[26:10]day there are signs for men who understand what is the meaning

[26:17]of al-bab does anyone know what is the meaning of al-baba [Music]

[26:36]right and and the uh singular word for al-bab is and the

[26:44]al-bab means uh the intellects so allah is saying that there are

[26:53]signs that lie within the creations there are signs that lie within

[27:01]the skies and the earth or the creating of the skies and

[27:05]the earth and in the alternation of the day and night for

[27:09]those who have intellects meaning for those who make use of their

[27:15]intellects and actually ponder upon these issues if we understand the verse

[27:27]correctly we'll understand that allah wants us to think about these creations

[27:33]of his when we read this verse allah wants us to ponder

[27:37]upon uh some segments of this universe hence we have a tradition

[27:49]by rasulullah which confirms this this issue you can find the tradition

[27:58]in bayan he says the following he says so he says there

[28:19]is a known tradition a tradition that the scholars know that says

[28:24]when these verses the verses that were dissecting found in surat ali

[28:29]when these verses descended rasulullah said woe unto he who recites these

[28:37]verses but does not think about its meanings which means we should

[28:43]take a pause when we read these verses and actually ponder upon

[28:48]allah's words in fact whenever you read the quran you should do

[28:53]some pondering you should do some thinking about what you're reading but

[28:55]especially when you're reading these verses what's beautiful about this verse is

[29:08]that allah subhanahu wa is telling you you may look at any

[29:13]segment in this universe any segment and you'll find marvelous signs signs

[29:20]pointing to what signs indicating what signs pointing to allah's existence and

[29:29]to allah's attributes such as his knowledge wisdom power mercy kindness generosity

[29:37]etc he tells you look at any segment whether you look at

[29:45]for example the bee or the ant or the spider or the

[29:53]bat or the lion or you look at celestial bodies such as

[29:57]asteroids planets um stars black holes etc whatever you may look at

[30:08]you will find marvelous signs leading you back to who to allah

[30:13]hence lessons on tawhid on allah's existence and unity touched upon different

[30:28]segments in this universe he spoke about the animal kingdom he spoke

[30:34]about the skies and the earth he spoke about the human body

[30:38]and so on believe it or not emphasized a lot on these

[30:58]verses for example we have traditions telling us that when a person

[31:03]wakes up to pray salat allah he should recite these verses the

[31:10]verses of surah al-imran verse 192 190 to 195 or at least

[31:18]some of these verses in fact we have a tradition by ibm

[31:24]confirming that he used to recite these verses three times every night

[31:33]three times nightly let me share my screen with you so we

[31:37]may read the tradition together insha allah uh can you see my

[32:12]screen yes yes just give me one second button not sure why

[32:48]their writing is not showing properly let me change the font maybe

[32:56]it will make a difference actually let me i'll just paste it

[33:09]on notepad okay so the tradition is a book that was to

[34:35]um explain the fikahi the jurisprudential traditions of which seem to contradict

[34:43]we have plenty of jurisdictional traditions speaking about for example prayer marriage

[34:50]divorce etc and some seem to contradict each other so may allah

[34:56]greatly reward him for this effort he wrote in order to show

[35:05]that there was there wasn't a contradiction in order to basically explain

[35:10]how one can accept uh two traditions that seem to be contradicting

[35:17]on a particular jurisprudential issue nonetheless in it he mentions the tradition

[35:21]going back to imam assad says you shall see that he's talking

[35:42]about his worship at night how would the prophet worship allah at

[35:49]night so the tradition says uh water would be brought to him

[36:15]obviously in some sort of cup or container and the the copper

[36:22]container would be covered and the prophet would place his toothbrush the

[36:28]old day toothbrush called miswak he would place it under his mattress

[36:35]then he would sleep up until a particular time when he would

[36:49]wake up he would sit down and he would look at different

[36:53]parts of the sky how would he know how do we know

[36:57]that he would look at different parts of the sky because the

[37:00]hadith says which means he was looking here and there and over

[37:07]there etc then he would recite the verses found in surat al-imran

[37:18]the verses that were studying are your screen is green um nothing

[37:26]it was just green for a couple seconds okay can you see

[37:34]it now yes yes okay he would recite the verses so the

[37:47]imam islam recited the it means that either the imam or the

[37:55]narrator did not continue to recite all of the verses but he

[38:01]was he mentioned the first part so that we know which verses

[38:07]he is speaking about then it says brush his teeth using the

[38:31]all-day toothbrush that miss and he would perform mudu then he would

[38:34]go to his masjid and pray for rikaz now what is meant

[38:41]by message it here the word masjid might be referring to the

[38:44]prophet's mosque in medina and it might be referring to a specific

[38:50]spot in which rasulullah would pray a spot in his own house

[38:56]i believe you know that rasulallah's house was inside his mosque and

[39:05]there was a door um from which rasulullah would would go from

[39:11]his house to the to the prophetic mosque but his house itself

[39:18]was inside the mosque the same applied to imam ali salaam the

[39:21]house of aryan fatima was inside the mosque of rasulallah and they

[39:25]had a door through which they were able to go to the

[39:30]mosque of rasulallah as for the uh companions of rasulullah some of

[39:37]them lived around the mosque but none of them lived inside the

[39:41]mosque yes traditions say that the companions had doors that their houses

[39:51]were connected to the mosque of rasulullah and there were doors uh

[39:56]that would lead them into the mosque of rasulallah however allah commanded

[40:04]rasulallah to shut all of those doors to shut all the doors

[40:07]leading to the mosque of the prophet except for two doors the

[40:13]door of rasulullah in the door of imam ali inshallah very soon

[40:20]we'll be analyzing this important incident called said so when the hadith

[40:27]says he would go and pray for erikaz in his messages possibly

[40:32]it's referring to the prophetic mosque and possibly no it's referring to

[40:42]um to a specific spot in his own house where he would

[40:45]pray obviously he would free forward us and the imam says when

[40:50]he would go into the quran he would bow down for god

[40:55]he would remain in ruku just as long as he would remain

[41:00]when he would be standing up reciting quran so the length of

[41:05]his was equal to the length of his when he's standing up

[41:12]and reciting quran in salah then he says he says that when

[41:19]he would prostrate he would the length of his prostration would be

[41:24]equal to the length of his you would bow down and would

[41:39]prolong his to the point people would say when will he lift

[41:43]his head yes and he would prostrate and would prolong his prostration

[41:50]to the point people would say when will he lift his head

[41:56]realize here the prophet uh the imam is talking about rasulallah's individual

[41:59]worship he's not talking about how he would pray yamaha with people

[42:04]when he would lead people in prayer rasulullah salallahu salaam would shorten

[42:10]his prayer but when he would pray alone he would prolong his

[42:15]prayer he would go to his mattress and would sleep up until

[42:26]a particular time then he would wake up again a second time

[42:35]and he would sit down and recite the verses of subhanallah so

[42:41]he would recite these verses two times at night let's continue the

[42:48]tradition he says he would recite the verses as he's looking at

[42:53]the sky at different parts of the sky then he would brush

[43:05]his teeth again he would perform again and he would go to

[43:11]the masjid and pray four new records he would pray them in

[43:22]the exact same manner he prayed the first four elects what are

[43:26]these eight recalls rasulullah would pray nightly can anyone tell me for

[43:49]us it is highly recommended to practice but for him it was

[43:54]mandatory to pray excuse me then the imam says then he would

[44:09]go back to his mattress and he would sleep up until a

[44:14]certain time then he would wake up he would sit down again

[44:22]and he would recite the verses of ali so he recites them

[44:26]three times nightly and he would look at different parts of the

[44:34]sky then he would to m he says then he would brush

[44:40]his teeth perform udu again and he would go to his masjid

[44:45]uttar means he would pray salat al-water possibly the imam here is

[44:56]referring to salat shafa when he says he would pray to the

[45:02]cause or he is referring to nonetheless he would pray today then

[45:08]he would go out so he may pray meaning so he may

[45:13]pray the morning prayer salatin this word here supports that rasulallah would

[45:26]pray these these at night in his house because the said what

[45:34]to me would leave so he may pray which means he was

[45:38]still in his house also what supports this idea that rasulullah would

[45:49]pray these in his house is a hadith by imam assad which

[45:53]teaches us how we should pray recommended prayers the tradition says it's

[46:02]also in s when a person prays recommended prayers should he pray

[46:21]those prayers in one spot or should he pray them in multiple

[46:26]spots the imam imam said no let him not pray in one's
