[0:00][Music] alhamdulillah ald [Music] muham AB hinin bar [Music] for the purification

[2:43]of the souls and the enlightenment of the hearts and for the

[2:46]hastening of the reappearance of the awaited Savior Enlighten your souls and

[2:53]the atmosphere with the recitation of salawat upon Muhammad Ali Muhammad muhamad

[3:00]Muhammad respected Elders brothers and sisters he is mentioned 136 Times by

[3:16]name in the Holy Quran across 34 chapters his life has a

[3:24]number of important Dimensions which can be studied and indeed he is

[3:29]respected and revered amongst many people and many religions Prophet m is

[3:40]an individual whom the Quran has paid special attention towards and indeed

[3:46]his story is mentioned more than any other in fact the closest

[3:55]individual as far as the number of mentionings in the Quran that

[3:59]comes to Prophet Musa is ibraim alisam who's mentioned 69 times in

[4:04]the holy book when we analyze the biography and the life of

[4:10]this great prophet of God we find that he is considered to

[4:13]be an important and effective leader who indeed took his community out

[4:19]of slavery oppression Injustice towards freedom and importantly the worship of the

[4:27]almighty subhanahu wa taala the number of times Musa is mentioned mentioned

[4:31]in the Quran should not be taken for granted Allah subhah wa

[4:34]ta'ala is sending you and I a powerful message the story of

[4:39]Musa is a very significant and crucial story that needs to be

[4:43]understood when it comes to its several Dimensions whether it's economic spiritual

[4:49]historical social Geographic the story of Musa is therefore fascinating and Allah

[4:54]subhanahu wa ta'ala depicts him in the best of possible ways similar

[5:01]to the other prophets in the Quran the almighty says about this

[5:04]great prophet that he is amongst the the righteous The Virtuous the

[5:09]goodd doers Musa is referred to as Kim the one whom Allah

[5:15]subhah wa taala spoke to the Quran depicts this idea that MSA

[5:19]had this dependency upon Allah andul submission towards him for example when

[5:25]B Isel were being taken away from their land and headed by

[5:31]this great individual when they reached the sea they saw that the

[5:35]army of f is approaching towards them they are in their hundreds

[5:39]of their thousands and they saw in front of them the sea

[5:44]so they wondered how are they going to cross what is happening

[5:47]to them the Quran tells us that they looked at MSA and

[5:50]said we are finished that there is no way that we will

[5:56]survive M the Quran tells us M was calm and tranquil he

[6:05]said no Allah is with me he will guide me and at

[6:10]that moment of course the sea split for this great individual yet

[6:12]not the same thing can be said when it comes to the

[6:14]depiction of this great prophet in other religions and especially in movies

[6:20]because Musa has been the subject of several movies in Hollywood for

[6:25]example the film Exodus in 2014 depicted the story of MSA and

[6:30]yet you look and if you watch this movie you'll be shocked

[6:34]as a Muslim why because Musa is shown to be an individual

[6:37]who doubtful an individual who is angered and is one who complains

[6:43]against Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala God forbid likewise the actor who played

[6:51]MSA by the name of Christian Bale he says I believe Moses

[6:54]is schizophrenic and is amongst one of the most barbaric individuals I've

[6:58]ever heard of in my life this is who the actor who

[7:04]plays this great prophet of God in this Blockbuster so-called movie whereas

[7:09]the quranic depiction is completely different when it comes to these honorable

[7:15]individuals whom Allah subhana wa tal has chosen there are so many

[7:18]areas within the life of this great prophet of God that we

[7:22]can analyze however I would like to examine one important aspect and

[7:26]that is the family life and the marriage of this great prophet

[7:30]prophet with Moses peace be upon him why because when we look

[7:35]at the chosen Servants of Allah it is not only when they

[7:38]deliver the message or it is not only how they conduct themselves

[7:41]in public that is relevant to you and I it is indeed

[7:46]their private life too every aspect about them should be inspirational motivational

[7:51]a source of guidance we should look at them and seek to

[7:54]apply lessons from their lives in accordance with the teachings of the

[7:58]Almighty subhanahu therefore as far as the prophets are concerned what their

[8:06]marriage for example their conduct with their family every element about their

[8:12]lives should be applicable and important and should be viewed therefore when

[8:17]it comes to Prophet Mosa's marriage I would like to look at

[8:22]it amongst the following points number one what uh is the background

[8:26]behind his marriage and how did his marriage take place secondly what

[8:32]is the controversy regarding his wife historically how is this viewed thirdly

[8:37]what is the Quran tell us about the qualities that M had

[8:41]that he exhibited as far as his marriage is concerned and fourthly

[8:47]what other qualities that he had generally that no doubt are influential

[8:53]and important to have a strong marital relationship that you and I

[8:57]can learn from when it comes to mam the second phase of

[9:04]his life as described in the Holy Quran is his Exile from

[9:08]Egypt towards an area known as Medan Medan is modern day southern

[9:15]part of Jordan we are told that of course he had to

[9:17]leave because he was separating a fight that occurred between one of

[9:24]his Shia and one of the cops of Egypt it could have

[9:26]been the cook of Fon who was sometimes wretched was sometimes oppressive

[9:31]and mam separated them and this individual the supporter of died he

[9:37]had to leave because he was accused of murder the narration tell

[9:42]us for8 days he was walking barefoot and he had no food

[9:45]he was eating plants he was eating grass whatever he had he

[9:51]reached this area of Medan the Quran tells us this story in

[9:57]chapter 28 when he came to this area he saw two ladies

[10:00]standing aside and he witnessed that there are people close to a

[10:09]well taking out water and feeding their sheep and their animals yet

[10:13]he recognized that these two ladies were not able to go and

[10:15]take the water out he came to them and said what is

[10:21]the problem what is going on the first thing to understand and

[10:27]we have to scrutinize the story and try try to extrapolate lessons

[10:30]for in every Dimension that we can the first area that comes

[10:33]to mind is what is the fact that these ladies knew the

[10:40]the importance of not being in a proximity with men and avoided

[10:43]this idea of mixing with them even when it comes to possibly

[10:46]some kind of physical interaction in which way we are told sometimes

[10:54]you know when it comes to certain Gatherings or in certain places

[10:58]like for example where like for example when it comes to sports

[11:03]say that when it comes to sports men and women should not

[11:09]be playing together in the same area when it comes to sporting

[11:12]activity this happens in schools and colleges and other places this is

[11:16]problematic in sh law because males and females who are what cannot

[11:23]be in this particular state where they have a a possible physical

[11:28]contact with each other likewise I remember in uh Hajj few years

[11:33]ago one of the brothers came and I saw that he was

[11:37]very happy came back to the hotel where we were staying I

[11:40]said to him what's happened he said alhamdulillah I have achieved it

[11:43]I said what did you achieve he said I have managed to

[11:47]get to the how he said I did not push anybody I

[11:50]was there and the movement itself the tide pushed me and I

[11:57]got to the haar alhamdulillah I am so happy asked him how

[12:00]did you come out you know when you got in there how

[12:04]did you come out he looked at me and said I'll see

[12:08]you tomorrow inshallah this idea that exists and that is what men

[12:12]and women together when it comes to TA sometimes you cannot avoid

[12:15]but when are there are areas which we can avoid when it

[12:19]comes to the what the mixing that may involve physical contact the

[12:22]Quran tells us we should be very careful these two ladies they

[12:29]stood on the side m came to them and said what is

[12:33]going on and they told him that our father is elderly we

[12:39]do not have a male in our family to help us and

[12:40]these people are men who are taking out the water and we

[12:46]are waiting for them to finish mam thereafter immediately helped them yes

[12:53]he seeds the opportunity to serve this is a beautiful point in

[12:59]the story many times in our lives Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala presents

[13:03]us with opportunities to provide service to others to improve the lives

[13:07]of others to place happiness in the hearts of others this service

[13:13]is of great importance may Allah subhana wa ta'ala bless the m

[13:17]and the M who work tirelessly for so many years in order

[13:22]to have this wonderful Center yes this is a message for the

[13:25]Youth that sometimes some of the youth they take this idea of

[13:28]serving the community lightly that when it comes to our fathers and

[13:34]our grandfathers they work tirelessly to ensure that we have these wonderful

[13:38]centers in which we can remember the and which we are comfortable

[13:42]in these particular environments isn't it how is it that we continue

[13:46]the spirit of the service towards the community sometimes we can give

[13:51]our time sometimes we can donate sometimes we can assist in any

[13:57]shape or form yes not only in this blessed sender a message

[13:59]to all the M around the world these malalis these honorable malalis

[14:02]that are taking part if we are for example walking and we

[14:07]see something on the ground in the parking lot or outside it

[14:10]is what it becomes my responsibility to make sure that it is

[14:15]clean or in the washrooms or in the bathrooms the idea that

[14:18]it must be inculcated within our youngsters and our youth is the

[14:23]spirit of giving for the sake of Allah because I tell you

[14:26]when you and I sometimes are approached by a poor person or

[14:32]an individual whom we assist don't think that you have made a

[14:36]favor for them in fact they have made a favor over you

[14:41]why because you are fixing their D they are fixing your isn't

[14:46]it that these opportunities to serve are from Allah subhah wa ta'ala

[14:50]Allah waala provides us and we have to seize them may Allah

[14:57]bless the soul of Al M where his famous statement that many

[15:01]of you have heard where he says I do not necessarily ask

[15:06]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for the acceptance of myal but more so

[15:10]about the opportunity to serve because when he gives me this opportunity

[15:14]I know that myal has been accepted the more opportunities I'm given

[15:20]the more the doors of Heaven are opened for you and I

[15:25]isn't it that Spirit of making a positive difference and helping others

[15:29]is truly one that we need to build within ourselves being inspired

[15:33]by the message of the peace be upon them he comes forward

[15:39]Musa narrations tell us that it needed several people to pick up

[15:44]and to somehow draw up the bucket of water from the well

[15:47]he did it entirely by himself the narrations tell us that he

[15:52]told the people don't you not see those ladies standing there could

[15:55]you not help them why do you make them just stand there

[15:58]without assisting them he rebuked them he came forward he gave the

[16:05]water or helped these two ladies and then did what and then

[16:09]went back the Quran tells us that he went and spoke to

[16:15]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala before we mention what he said there's an

[16:19]important Point here the say when it comes to interaction between the

[16:23]genders it is permissible yet we should have a sense of formality

[16:31]at least or necessity meaning what mam did not come to the

[16:34]ladies and said by the way check me out I am Musa

[16:39]yes or he did not come to them and say let me

[16:42]walk you home you know I'll be with you or let's take

[16:47]a selfie together yes MSA alisam did not have a conversation with

[16:50]them do you know about this Justin be and this person or

[16:54]whatever this individual knew the boundaries that exist when it comes to

[16:59]interaction between the opposite genders isn't it likewise when it comes to

[17:04]our relationship or when it comes to our conduct in society this

[17:09]social hijab needs to be observed no doubt this is an important

[17:11]lesson that is derived from this particular incident the Quran tells us

[17:17]that he sat and he did not expect anything in return from

[17:22]these ladies he did everything for the sake of Allah subhanahu waala

[17:26]and he said he says Allah you've given me so much but

[17:34]today I have nothing M was raised in the Palace of he

[17:39]had the food that he wanted he had the protection that he

[17:41]wanted he had the clothes that he wanted now he has absolutely

[17:46]nothing but notice Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling you an i

[17:49]and Mark these words he says if you serve others for my

[17:53]sake and you are sincere I will change your life to the

[17:56]better and I will transform it because through this action Allah subhanahu

[18:02]wa taala made M get married and what gave him the responsibility

[18:06]to go towards Egypt what an important turning point isn't it that

[18:11]once you and I do things for the sake of Allah Allah

[18:15]subhanahu wa taala indeed looks after us the narration the Quran in

[18:20]fact tells us that these ladies went where did they go they

[18:23]went back to their father Prophet sham according to narrations the Quran

[18:28]does not tell us but the narrations do when they went back

[18:32]they said and they were communicating with their father in a transparent

[18:36]manner that we came back today early because there was a man

[18:42]who helped us their father requested that they go back or at

[18:45]least one of them goes back and calls that man in order

[18:48]for the father to somehow reward him Reen numerate him the Quran

[18:55]says one of them came walking with shyness with embarrassment with a

[19:05]sense of modesty and said our father wants to somehow reward you

[19:10]they both came and Shu asked Musa where are you from what

[19:14]is your story and mam explained everything about what had happened and

[19:20]the Quran tells us sh told him you are in safe hands

[19:25]don't worry now the idea that emerges in the Quran is that

[19:29]one of the daughters or perhaps both of them said to their

[19:37]father oh my father why don't you utilize this individual and make

[19:44]him somehow part of our family or at least make him work

[19:47]with us because he has two qualities he is strong and he's

[19:51]trustworthy the narrations tell us that sh asked the daughter why is

[19:58]he strong it was evident because he picked up the Water by

[20:02]himself but why is he considered to be a mean trustworthy because

[20:07]according to the narrations when this particular lady the daughter of sh

[20:11]when she was uh telling him to follow or to walk towards

[20:19]the house he said to her I do not wish to walk

[20:24]behind you I wish to walk in front of you so I

[20:29]will walk and if we need to turn you throw a stone

[20:30]towards that particular direction and I will follow yes out of adab

[20:37]out of respect out of modesty that he did not wish to

[20:40]walk behind the lady yes this is a pinnacle of AK isn't

[20:44]it wonderful way in which prophet mam demonstrates his qualities we are

[20:54]told that this Prophet sh then offered M he said I want

[20:56]you to marry one of my daughters and in return you can

[21:03]work for a minimum of 8 years or up to 10 years

[21:07]but I do not want to place too much pressure upon you

[21:10]yes I do not want to make too much of a burden

[21:15]upon you here it's interesting that we note there is nothing wrong

[21:20]with the lady herself with our sisters themselves coming to the father

[21:25]or the mother saying I want to get married you know sometimes

[21:29]in some several communities they say it's not befitting we wait for

[21:35]the man we wait for the boy to knock the door and

[21:37]request the hand of the daughter surely she should not be you

[21:42]know in that state of going and asking look you know I

[21:44]think there might be somebody I want to get married to you

[21:48]know the scare in the face of the father or the mother

[21:50]how could you this is not acceptable and so on and so

[21:54]forth there's absolutely nothing wrong with it and the proof is whom

[21:58]the mother of say [Applause] wasn't she the lady who approached the

[22:10]holy prophet and said I want to get married to you or

[22:14]not when it comes to these individuals we have to learn from

[22:17]them that they are they are beacons of light and great exemplars

[22:23]when it comes to Leading our own lives therefore you find this

[22:27]particular story and mam accepted and he fulfilled the entire 10 years

[22:31]one note that I would like to draw your attention is the

[22:36]word that is used in the Quran which is in reference to

[22:43]ha embarrassment shame yes this notion is of great importance in Islamic

[22:46]what does it refer to we are told there are two types

[22:52]of embarrassment or shame one that is recommended and that one that

[22:57]is discouraged and sometimes Haram the one that is recommended is divided

[23:02]into at least two divisions or two stages the first is to

[23:07]be embarrassed from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and the second is to

[23:11]be embarrassed from the people that's the good side yes in which

[23:17]way the holy prophet of Islam in a famous narration says the

[23:35]one that does not have a religion to follow will not exhibit

[23:41]embarrassment or ha and the one who does not exhibit embarrassment or

[23:45]shame in their conduct will not have a religion it works both

[23:49]ways yes we are told in the Islamic teachings of the importance

[23:56]that both males and females display this form of of it's a

[24:01]virtue it's a quality the first is before Allah subhanahu waala tell

[24:09]us exhibit fear of Allah as if you see him if you

[24:17]do not see him then know that he sees you no doubt

[24:23]this feeling and this realization that Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala is monitoring every

[24:30]action of ours not only action but also intention he is closer

[24:33]to us than our own selves he according to the Quran says

[24:40]he lies between our hearts and ourselves yes he's so close in

[24:48]that Dimension to the human being and that is why the realization

[24:51]of ha is so important in Islamic spirituality because individuals who keep

[24:57]this notion in their mind are con constantly Vigilant are constantly observant

[25:02]of their duties before Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala they are worried because Allah

[25:06]waala is watching them therefore only even if they are alone and

[25:12]there is no human being monitoring them they are cognizant of the

[25:16]fact that they will be held accountable by the almighty subhanahu wa

[25:21]ta'ala that's why beautifully our holy fourth IM mentions in Dua AB

[25:37]hamali this masterpiece in Islamic spirituality he says oh Allah I am

[25:45]the one whom when I am by myself I did not display

[25:49]I I was not embarrassed or ashamed to commit sins of course

[25:53]it's not the Imam who is committing the sins but he's speaking

[25:59]on behalf of us on behalf of humankind isn't it that sometimes

[26:02]when we are by ourselves and The Temptations are great we fall

[26:06]into sin that's the first level the second level which is positive

[26:12]ha is to be embarrassed from the people as far as sinning

[26:15]and committing acts of transgression is concerned once in there was an

[26:21]individual who had decided to drink alcohol during the time of the

[26:25]holy prophet the narrations tell us that he was sipping the alcohol

[26:29]in the streets of Medina and all of a sudden he saw

[26:33]the prophet approaching him this reminds me sometimes when uh people some

[26:37]of our youth they have you know these headphones and they are

[26:39]walking in the streets and they see a molana you know they

[26:44]see someone whom they respect or a an important person in society

[26:47]so they say Salam how are you oh you know I'm listening

[26:52]to NOA and I'm listening to Quran yes this particular individual he

[26:55]saw the prophet he panicked that the prophet of Islam is coming

[26:58]so what did he do at that moment he sought forgiveness from

[27:01]Allah he said yaah Allah if you help me I will never

[27:03]drink alcohol again because the prophet of Islam is coming so the

[27:07]prophet came to him and said what is it that you're drinking

[27:08]he said Yol Allah I'm drinking vinegar can you imagine somebody walking

[27:12]around drinking vinegar he said I'm drinking vinegar the prophet said okay

[27:17]let me have a look the prophet took it he said yes

[27:21]it's vinegar this man fell on his knees onto the ground Prophet

[27:24]said what's going on he said Yol Allah this is was alcohol

[27:29]but I don't know how it's turned into vinegar but I sought

[27:32]repentance from Allah subhana wa taala the prophet said this is in

[27:38]line with the Holy Quran because the Quran says there are those

[27:44]who are sincere when it comes to repentance Allah will change their

[27:47]bad deeds into Good Deeds Allah subhana T will switch it it

[27:53]just needs sincerity wholeheartedness commitment in order for this to happen what

[27:57]about the bad ha the bad embarrassment of shame that is when

[28:04]you and I practice acts of transgression Disobedience of Allah or do

[28:09]not follow the commands of Allah because of people so for example

[28:12]you'll find people as far as hijab is concerned they say you

[28:17]know I feel ashamed to wear the hijab or I am amongst

[28:18]a group of people who are necessarily non-muslims and I miss my

[28:21]Salah because I am embarrassed to stand up and perform Salah for

[28:28]example this type of embarrassment shame sometimes it is Haram it is

[28:32]not permissible yet today what is it that we are facing in

[28:36]society especially in the western Society it's the decline of the positive

[28:42]ha the embarrassment more and more we're seeing that mode of modesty

[28:49]and Chastity declining how you look at for example the hijab as

[28:53]an example today we have a sister who's wearing hijab who comes

[28:57]on and gives an interview in a very inappropriate magazine that has

[29:04]a history of explicit material and misogyny today we have cat these

[29:11]fashion walks in New York demonstrating hijab today we have people coming

[29:15]forward and saying that you know I want to model the hijab

[29:17]I want the hijab to be one that fits into society in

[29:21]other words the ethos the background the philosophy of hijab and modesty

[29:27]and is slowly diminishing we losing that why you ask why what

[29:31]are our sisters our youngsters when it comes to the youth our

[29:36]our sisters when it comes to adorning the Islamic dress code of

[29:39]modesty and Chastity why is it that they are following this train

[29:42]some of them I tell you it's because of the pressures they're

[29:45]facing in society not only them all women you read I was

[29:51]reading yesterday in the Toronto Sun here and you read in the

[29:55]BBC yesterday there was another article all these days yes they talk

[29:58]about how there is so much pressure on females to look in

[30:04]a particular way and how many of them are suffering with low

[30:07]self-esteem depression and anxiety because they don't like the way they look

[30:12]because they don't like the way they appear in public there are

[30:17]studies that have been performed yes in the United Kingdom one particular

[30:22]study showed 90% of women don't like the way they look and

[30:25]the Cosmetic industry is thriving isn't it it's all about presenting ourselves

[30:30]in a way that others can approve especially men they can somehow

[30:36]get the recognition but is causing so many problems out there yes

[30:44]that desperation to be included to be somehow molding our faith so

[30:49]that others can accept us at the expense of our faith is

[30:52]very dangerous it's a very concerning Trend yes people out there are

[30:59]looking look for that tap in the back and that recognition I

[31:00]want to look in a way that people tell me I look

[31:05]very nice I look very well yes and they are sacrificing this

[31:08]notion of modesty and the Chastity and the Islamic hijab I tell

[31:15]you and Mark these words if the entire creation from beginning till

[31:19]now till the day of judgment comes forward and likes how we

[31:22]are it does not even come close from one like from Allah

[31:28]subhana wa tala isn't it that the almighty subhanahu wa taala says

[31:33]to us are you looking for some recognition from others are you

[31:41]looking for that kind of support some kind of inclusion for others

[31:46]from others it belongs to Allah today what do we need to

[31:53]do we need to encourage our youngsters our sisters to hold on

[31:57]strongly to their identity not to be pressurized by what is going

[32:03]on around them honestly my dear M brothers and sisters is saddens

[32:06]me when I see what's happening on social media and tomorrow we'll

[32:09]discuss it in detail when I see some of our sisters there

[32:13]is this fascination with selfies and standing in front of the mirror

[32:16]and there is idea of what idea of the depicting of themselves

[32:19]on social media and other ways why is it that's happening we

[32:22]have to be able to tackle these issues and deal with them

[32:25]in the correct manner of course without being judgmental without necessarily driving

[32:29]them away from Faith but to invite them and to say that

[32:35]you know what Islam honors you and you know this sacrifice this

[32:37]idea of the hijab gives you sense of Liberation have to understand

[32:41]why is it that we're wearing the hijab it's not just a

[32:45]piece of clothing that people wear for the sake of it no

[32:48]it comes with a responsibility we have to understand the background behind

[32:52]the hijab isn't it so when it comes to educating our children

[32:57]when it comes to educating our youth this is a responsibility of

[32:59]the parents not only from the member not only the madrasa but

[33:02]to inject them with that self-confidence about their faith that belief about

[33:08]the importance of the religion of Islam and hijab and not to

[33:11]worry about how they look it is not about the looks the

[33:13]Hadith says that Allah will judge you on the day of judgment

[33:17]and especially for our brothers as well yes when they spend hours

[33:20]to get the sixpack it is not about that health is good

[33:26]for the body but it's about the heart yes the Quran says

[33:33]when you come to Allah with that submissive heart that's the first

[33:36]area the second area about the controversy regarding the wife of prophet

[33:41]musam when you examine his biography many scholars have come forward and

[33:49]said there are similarities between Musa and the holy prophet and the

[33:53]Muslim and perhaps that's one of the reasons why he has been

[33:55]mentioned so many times in the Quran one important similarity is with

[33:59]regards to the vice gerant of Musa and the vice jant of

[34:04]our holy beloved Prophet please pay attention to this as it's important

[34:06]of course we are told there are many similarities between and that

[34:23]when Prophet mam left to receive the revelations from Allah subhana wa

[34:29]taala he indeed made Haron in charge of the community yes and

[34:33]he asked Allah subhah wa taala to make or to Grant him

[34:39]his who is his brother yet Haron passed away during the lifetime

[34:46]of the holy prophet Musa he passed time during his he passed

[34:52]away during his lifetime therefore you find that his successor his name

[34:57]is yusa n and yusa n the similarities between him and are

[35:02]striking one one great scholar in his Works he found 60 6

[35:09]Z similarities between and several of them is the following number one

[35:15]y lived 30 years after M so did 30 years after the

[35:23]holy prophet number two yon was marted on the same night many

[35:27]many years ago as Amir I found 15 sources that actually confirm

[35:31]this number three we are told the famous story of Amir when

[35:37]he was coming back from safin and people wanted water and he

[35:40]directed them to a place where there was what water he lifted

[35:44]The Rock yes and there was a Christian priest who said I

[35:47]believe in you because the last individual who declared and showed people

[35:51]where this water was was y yes likewise we are told an

[35:57]individual whom Allah subhana responded to the supplication of M to return

[36:02]the sun back for the for the prayers to take place this

[36:05]was likewise for the prophet of Islam asked Allah subhana wa taala

[36:13]for the son to return so that could perform his Salah yes

[36:18]one other similarity that exists is what is the idea that ybon

[36:27]had to fight the wife of prophet Musa she held had a

[36:30]100,000 soldiers or people and she engaged in a battle after several

[36:38]years of prophet Musa dying she engaged in a battle against y

[36:42]the successor appointed by Allah subhana wa tala of the Prophet mam

[36:46]so therefore some people come forward and say who is this wife

[36:51]of M is it the same wife that the Quran is speaking

[36:53]about safura According to some of the narrations or is it another

[37:00]some have said that it must be the same however we reject

[37:02]this why because the Quran gives a positive image of this lady

[37:06]no doubt that she came in modesty that indeed the Quran tells

[37:13]us that she communicated with the prophet sh and said that he

[37:17]is trustworthy he is strong and therefore it cannot be that it

[37:23]is the same lady whom the Quran is speaking about indeed it

[37:26]must be another wife of Prophet Musa that held a battle and

[37:31]stood against his successor yusa IB n if we examine the Holy

[37:38]Quran we come to an important and a beautiful stage that is

[37:40]described in chapter 20 Surah that shed light upon how marital relationships

[37:48]should be conducted and some important tools to keep them alive and

[37:55]successful in Surah Allah subhana tala tells us that mam made this

[37:59]journey and he was directing himself towards the land of Egypt in

[38:04]order to save B Isel from the wrath of pharaoh the Quran

[38:09]tells us his wife was pregnant yes it is mentioned in narrations

[38:17]that he had a young son who was with them it was

[38:23]dark at night it was cold and she began to feel the

[38:25]pain of Labor can you imagine mam was also lost he could

[38:30]not find the way because he took a different way towards Egypt

[38:33]so that he's not found out because he was still a fugitive

[38:38]so to speak even though 10 years had passed the Quran says

[38:41]he saw fire from far what did he do the Quran could

[38:45]have told us that as soon as he saw fire he approached

[38:47]it and Allah subhana wa ta'ala spoke to him from that particular

[38:53]tree or looked like a fire but the Quran tells us something

[38:59]else it tells us MSA made special effort to communicate with his

[39:04]wife and tell her what he is about to do he said

[39:15]to his wife wait I have seen fire did it stop there

[39:20]no M went on to explain now please understand this the Quran

[39:24]does not mention a letter without it being relevant and important for

[39:31]all ages till the day of judgment the Quran mentions this this

[39:35]conversation between M and his wife for a reason it is saying

[39:37]to you and I the importance of communication between the husband and

[39:42]wife honesty trustworthiness Integrity between the husband and wife mam took the

[39:52]responsibility of conversing with his wife speaking with his wife telling her

[39:57]what he is about to do and this element of communication is

[40:00]of the utmost importance today those who study the marital relationships between

[40:06]husband and wife they see the potential problems and the breakdowns in

[40:13]their relationships that happen due to issues associated with communication yes it

[40:17]seems to be one that causes many problems in many places in

[40:23]many socities and indeed working hard on communication skills and enhancing ing

[40:27]them brings about fruitful results as far as marital setups is concerned

[40:36]I remember reading and incidentally this particular individual passed away yesterday the

[40:41]one who holds the world record for the longest marriage his name

[40:46]is Karam Chand and his wife is K katari Chand from the

[40:52]UK and don't ask me why I memorize their name now this

[40:58]particular individual has been Mar for 90 years 90 he passed away

[41:02]yesterday 110 years of age yes now because he holds the world

[41:06]record for the most years anybody has got married and he's still

[41:12]alive when he was alive they was interviewed with his wife they

[41:14]came to him and said how did you last 90 years or

[41:18]at that time he was 80 84 years that they had been

[41:23]married asked him what is the recipe for success of your marriage

[41:26]how did you keep it alive for such a long time his

[41:29]wife said one word chapati you might be surprised when somebody asked

[41:37]her what do you mean she said that I know that my

[41:44]husband loves when I prepare this particular meal and I often place

[41:48]my half or the half of my chapati towards him because I

[41:54]know it brings about a sense of happiness and we work hard

[41:57]to to keep each other happy yes the idea that emerges is

[42:02]what is that when it comes to communication it's an art and

[42:06]like many other skills it needs to be developed it needs to

[42:11]be enhanced people often ask the question how do I ensure that

[42:16]I understand the other in a relationship and make sure that I

[42:20]am communicating effectively because I tell you there are so many examples

[42:24]today of a breakdown in marital relationships because of the lack of

[42:28]understanding of how for example males and females communicate how they like

[42:37]to communicate what is it that they sometimes say and what they

[42:42]actually mean let me give you an example some of our brothers

[42:45]often have this particular perception they say our wives they talk too

[42:49]much you know they're constantly wishing to talk and I've come back

[42:56]tired you know I'm not in the mood to engage in a

[42:57]conversation what is the background behind this there is a interesting book

[43:02]and there are several books that discuss the idea of communication and

[43:07]the difference between husband and wife or males and females one of

[43:12]them is called what women want men to know in this particular

[43:16]book the author is a a world-renowned uh marital psychologist has sold

[43:24]millions of copies of this particular book she argues in the book

[43:27]that there are key aspects that the man needs to know about

[43:33]what about the woman and the way she likes to communicate let's

[43:37]look at a few examples the first thing is notice and take

[43:43]this particular example that once a man or the husband is sitting

[43:46]and they have finished the meal and they go to the TV

[43:51]they switch on the TV immediately the wife looks and says you

[43:54]know uh can we talk the husband immediately looks at and says

[44:00]is everything okay the first thing that comes to the mind of

[44:02]the husband is there is a problem when the wife says can

[44:04]we talk yes but the argument or the presentation here is that

[44:09]no when it comes to the female there is this tendency or

[44:13]there is the need to talk in order to connect they feel

[44:18]that through talking they enhanced what they enhanced the connection there is

[44:23]no need necessarily to talk because it is argued that males are

[44:28]goal orientated whereas females are process orientated that as far as males

[44:35]was concerned all they think about is the outcome is the result

[44:38]is the solution whereas as far as females are concerned they believe

[44:43]and the importance of words is crucial yes talking has a number

[44:50]of objectives when it comes to our sisters for example it is

[44:54]argued in these studies and more that for instance word have a

[44:58]powerful way when it comes to communication that's why our holy beloved

[45:11]prophet he comes forward and says that when the husband says to

[45:17]his wife I love you this will never leave her heart by

[45:19]the way don't misunderstand this Hadith because once a brother came to

[45:25]me and said I have a problem with my wife we have

[45:27]been having conflicts for a long time I said have you expressed

[45:31]love towards her he said I said yes he said yes I

[45:33]said when he said 20 years ago I said why he said

[45:37]the prophet said you say it once it stays in a heart

[45:41]I don't need to say it anymore it's not the correct understanding

[45:43]of the Hadith of the holy prophet the prophet of Islam says

[45:46]communicate with your wife express your love not only through words but

[45:50]through gifts and it doesn't necessarily have to be anniversaries or birthdays

[45:55]or special occasions surprise her for example and like requ for the

[45:59]wife but we are told in these studies that words are of

[46:01]great importance that when it comes to for example our sisters they

[46:04]like to express themselves loudly that is why they like to talk

[46:11]it is mentioned that they have details when they communicate they like

[46:15]mentioning details this talking helps to relieve tension according to this particular

[46:21]author and likewise when they are upset sometimes when they are upset

[46:25]and for example the husband says you don't look happy happy she

[46:28]would say it's okay that this okay doesn't mean the husband says

[46:34]okay fine I leave you to it no it means no what

[46:39]is going on the the female likes that they are pressed when

[46:43]they are upset on the other side the male when you and

[46:46]I as males when we are upset what happens we go into

[46:50]our own caves we like to switch off we like to forget

[46:56]the problems yes whereas the of communicating with the other in this

[46:59]regard needs to be understood couples others who want to get married

[47:05]should read should enhance their knowledge about effective communication ways that they

[47:11]can communicate each other understand that males and females are indeed different

[47:15]another key feature that we'll end with is what is the importance

[47:21]of love that the Quran says Allah subhah wa ta'ala infuses and

[47:25]places love between the husband and wife yes he has placed this

[47:33]this Affinity this compassion between the husband and wife yet today's Studies

[47:39]have shown just like how we have Arabic English Gujarati swah all

[47:43]these languages that you and I communicate with as far using when

[47:48]it comes to each other there are also languages of love what

[47:51]does this mean please pay attention to a few moments on this

[47:54]because it's very crucial to ensure a happy marriage successful relationship when

[48:00]it comes to love there are languages that human beings display and

[48:05]exhibit when it comes to how they express love and how they

[48:08]wish to be loved you know common problems that happen is that

[48:12]the wife complains that the husband does not spend time for example

[48:16]or the husband does not listen and the husband says no I

[48:19]have taken her on holidays vacations I have provided her what she

[48:23]needs it is obvious that they have love between each other but

[48:26]then not expressing the love towards each other in the right manner

[48:30]that's why there is a famous book known as the five love

[48:35]languages by a man by the name of Gary Chapman he comes

[48:37]forward and he says human beings they exhibit and like to be

[48:45]loved one of five ways and he invites husbands and wives to

[48:49]understand what is their language of love how would you like to

[48:55]be loved yes so he says for example that first is words

[48:58]of affirmation meaning what meaning that for some individuals hearing the correct

[49:05]word is of the greatest of importance it's important to mention it

[49:10]at the right time yes whereas insults or generalization you never do

[49:16]this I have never seen you this hurts them greatly yes if

[49:21]this is there main love language that's number one words of affirmation

[49:27]second some people their love language is acts of service how sometimes

[49:31]they like it when the husband and the wife does something which

[49:35]they do not normally do like for example if our brothers perform

[49:40]the household chores you know the narrations tell us that the holy

[49:45]prophet came inside the house of and peace be upon them and

[49:50]he saw what sweeping the floor and in another occasion sing the

[49:55]pulses yes and then the prophet of this is found in the

[49:58]famous book of he says any husband who helps his wife in

[50:04]the household chores Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala for Every Act of assistance gives

[50:09]them palaces in Jenna in accordance with the number of veins they

[50:14]have in their body so much help yes and the sisters now

[50:19]are happy no doubt the idea therefore exists is the act of

[50:22]service is deemed to be important laziness on the other hand is

[50:25]one that is deemed to be problematic if the love language is

[50:30]acts of service third is gifts some people like to receive gifts

[50:34]yes and not any gifts it needs to be one that the

[50:39]effort has been placed it needs to be a thoughtful gift when

[50:41]a gift is something which is inconsiderate or without any thoughtfulness it

[50:46]hurts number four is quality time some people there love language in

[50:51]order to be loved they want time spent which is quality means

[50:58]with no distraction no phone complete undivided attention yes and conversely when

[51:04]an individual attempts to spend time and takes this matter lightly this

[51:08]hurts this is somehow a problem if the individual likes quality time

[51:15]and the final one is considered to be physical touch yes not

[51:20]everybody necessarily likes the physical touch but neglect of this sometimes also

[51:25]causes problems therefore what do we find we find that inspirationally from

[51:28]the story of prophet m.

[51:30]we learn the significance and the importance of mastering the art of

[51:36]communication indeed the Quran tells us another beautiful element about MSA as

[51:42]far as marriage is concerned or one that can be used about

[51:47]marriage and that's what and that is when he was with Prophet

[51:50]when made this hole in the ship yes M objected and said

[51:57]what he said are you making this hole so that the people

[52:03]who are on this ship would sink and who give you the

[52:11]profound meanings of the Quran they say m did not say are

[52:13]you making this hole so that we sink he said so that

[52:19]the people sink because Musa was concerned more about the people in

[52:23]the ship than himself he displayed an act of altruism he thought

[52:28]of others before himself and I tell you one problem that happens

[52:33]in marital relationships is what is the fact that the ego gets

[52:37]in between the husband and the wife that sometimes they treat each

[52:40]other as what as enemies as adversaries and not as best of

[52:47]friends no doubt that when we look at the best example history

[52:50]has given us of a marital relationship that of and indeed we

[53:06]are inspired because this pure household are wonderful example to learn from

[53:11]in all the correct and the Beautiful virtues and characteristics of a

[53:16]successful marriage but one thing stood out and that is altruism the

[53:20]thinking of others before themselves we have heard of the story of

[53:25]the necklace the story of the wedding dress the story mentioned in

[53:28]Surah insan of the feeding of the poor of the captive yes

[53:34]and of course the the orphan over 3 days this constant placing

[53:39]others before themselves is a Hallmark of the Blessed household of and

[53:46]and that's where peace and blessings be upon Him grew and learned

[53:52]these generous wonderful beautiful qualities isn't it that we are told when

[53:58]it comes to what the holy prophet of Islam he would say

[54:00]to the Muslims he would say that the best amongst you is

[54:06]the best with his family isn't it and I saw this being

[54:09]portrayed in America in a van that was moving around and made

[54:15]this Hadith evident for people to follow and to read and it

[54:18]said under it the name of the holy prophet and it inspired

[54:22]people yes it's in brought people towards this particular Hadith that the

[54:26]best amongst you is the one who treats their family in the

[54:29]most courteous and respectful and sacrificial manner no doubt that's why you

[54:33]find that say sh peace be upon Him demonstrated these qualities in

[54:41]so many occasions yes including his conduct and the way he dealt

[54:47]with his enemies we are told on his journey towards carala he

[54:51]was confronted with the army of when he had to face them

[55:00]it was time for Salah he performed the Salah and he led

[55:03]the prayers but the narration tell us that he had water in

[55:07]the Caravan and the campside of ab Abdullah had water yet the

[55:10]Thousand or so Army of had no water they were thirsty one

[55:16]Army member of H said that I was thirsty I came across

[55:18]the campsite of Hussein I saw a man who's standing there I

[55:25]looked at him he said to me lower yourself and I did

[55:29]not understand his hijazi dialect or accent he explained himself then I

[55:34]lowered myself then he fed me water then he said bring down

[55:40]your horse and I B down my horse and he fed the

[55:41]horse water then I went away when I reached my army or

[55:46]the site of my army they looked at me and they said

[55:51]do you know who that man is I said no I don't

[55:52]know it was somebody who helped me and gave me water they

[55:57]he said that is the son of Fatima that is Hussein Ali

[56:03]yes indeed IM would treat even his enemies in this particular way

[56:09]and that's why on the 10th of the narrations tell us that

[56:15]he looked atar and he heard the cries of abdah he heard

[56:19]the calls to assist IM Hussein the narration says that he looked

[56:25]at Omar and said ohar are you going to kill this man

[56:32]are you going to actually fight this man and said by God

[56:35]we will do so until the heads are decapitated and the arms

[56:41]are chopped off at that moment this honorable individual Al begins to

[56:48]walk back and forth man looks at him and says oh I

[56:54]see that you doubtful I see that you are somehow uncertain what

[56:58]is wrong with you says I am choosing between hell and heaven

[57:06]all of a sudden he mounts his horse and says by Allah

[57:12]I will never choose anything over Jen he marches towards the campsite

[57:18]of IM Hussein he calls out yah Allah I am the one

[57:24]who is The Sinner so please forgive me I am the one

[57:26]who placed fear in the heart of the family of your prophet

[57:34]he reaches close to the campside of IM Hussein comes out Al

[57:40]looks ATD he says my master oh grandson of the holy prophet

[57:45]I have come to seek pardon I have come to seek forgiveness

[57:51]and is there a chance that I am given Toba Imus says

[57:59]yes definitely Allah subhanahu wa taala will forgive you at that moment

[58:04]Al says then says ydah then give me an opportunity and permission

[58:08]now to go to the battlefield and to fight and to sacrifice

[58:12]my life IM Hussein gives him the permission Al goes he fights

[58:17]courageously he falls he is struck and IM Hussein rushes towards him

[58:25]he sits next to him he says oh you are indeed free

[58:28]in this world and free in but what im Hussein did at

[58:37]that moment is truly heartbreaking Imam saw that the forehead of was

[58:43]bleeding Imam takes a piece of cloth and he covers the forehead

[58:46]of Al to stop the forehead from the bleeding I say to

[58:53]him you are concerned with the head of Al but I tell

[59:01]you what happened to your blessed head the narrations tell us that

[59:05]the head of Imam Hussein was placed on a spear handled by

[59:12]the army of yazid carelessly the head would fall onto the ground

[59:17]the horses would trample upon it the narrations tell us that on

[59:25]the way to Sham a Christian priest saw light emerging from an

[59:31]area that the campsite and the Caravan of the bit had stopped

[59:35]he came he asked them what is going on they said these

[59:40]are the prisoners that we have captured he said whose head is

[59:43]this they said this is the head of Hussein he said who

[59:48]is Hussein they said this is the head of the grandson of

[59:54]the holy prophet he gives them money and says I beg you

[59:57]give give me the head for one night let me look after

[60:01]the head for one night they give him the head of ab

[60:03]abdah he washes the head he perfumes the head then he looks

[60:09]at the Blessed head he starts to cry and plead and says

[60:16]I ask you by the name of Jesus talk to me tell

[60:17]me who are you and what happened the narrations tell us that

[60:24]the head of abdah speaks it says if you want to know

[60:27]who I [Applause] am I am the grandson of mustfa I am

[60:43]the the son of and I am the son of that moment

[60:47]the priest said what happened tell me IM responds all says I

[60:54]am the one who fled on the plains ofal I am the

[61:04]M who is M thirsty allahar the narrations tell us what happened

[61:09]to this head yes in the mag of yaid looks at the

[61:15]head he starts to poke the head of with a stick he

[61:21]pokes the face of Hussein he pokes the eyes of Hussein that

[61:24]he pokes the mouth of Hussein a man who was there who

[61:29]is a companion of the Prophet shouts yah yazid Take Your Filthy

[61:35]Hands away I saw Embrace that head I saw kiss that head
