[10:25]and sisters in the Holy Quran in one of the most beautiful

[10:42]chapters of this glorious book in suratul kaf verses 83 to 98.

[10:47]Allah subhanahu ta'ala States Bismillah foreign foreign [Music] foreign foreign foreign foreign

[13:38]foreign [Music] foreign [Music] the greatest gift Allah has given us is

[14:16]the Holy Quran when you examine the gems the treasures in this

[14:25]fascinating book you will find that it is an endless treasure from

[14:30]your lord the one who's created you Allah has given us one

[14:38]book this Divine glorious book the final of his holy scriptures the

[14:43]more we contemplate the Holy Quran the more Allah opens Pathways in

[14:52]our heart one of the signature characteristics of the Holy Quran is

[15:01]the stories that Allah mentions to us these stories are aimed not

[15:06]at entertaining us but at guiding us making us better human beings

[15:11]giving us beautiful lessons to connect with our Lord to prepare with

[15:18]for the Hereafter to create wonderful families and societies that's why Allah

[15:23]in the Holy Quran He commands us to travel you know it's

[15:30]mustahab to travel foreign but with what purpose next time when you

[15:48]go on a vacation sure you can go and have a Halal

[15:50]vacation but make the goal of this vacation to learn something examine

[15:57]past civilizations examined what happened in history examine the diversity that Allah

[16:05]has created learn something make your vacations purposeful make them educational you

[16:13]will get closer to Allah go and explore out there what's out

[16:17]there in the universe what has Allah created on this planet of

[16:23]course don't go to some very dangerous places two and a half

[16:30]miles under the ocean just to see a shipwreck you have to

[16:32]protect your safety of course even though that in itself is still

[16:36]fascinating because there is also a lesson buried deep in the ocean

[16:43]that Titanic that sank in 1912 people thought nothing could bring this

[16:51]ship down the way the Architects and the engineered constructed that ship

[16:57]people thought there was nothing that could bring this down no hurricane

[17:02]no storm nothing they didn't realize that an iceberg could make it

[17:06]sink and on its maiden voyage the first voyage it sank that's

[17:12]a lesson for us be humble don't think you human beings are

[17:15]invincible and there is no stronger power out there in the universe

[17:19]even that is humbling supposed to have to travel and to explore

[17:25]what Allah has created for us the stories of the Quran are

[17:31]aimed at educating us giving us these very beautiful lessons now one

[17:36]of the beautiful lessons of the Holy Quran is the story of

[17:45]the name Allah dedicates 15 verses in Surah about this figure and

[17:50]the lessons we learn from this figure verses 83 to 98.

[17:55]this story was revealed in Surah because the pagans wanted to test

[18:03]the prophet salallahu alaihi the pagans in Mecca they wanted to come

[18:09]up with a way to embarrass the prophet so you know what

[18:14]kind of strategy they came up with they said let's go to

[18:19]the people of the book let's go to the Jews the Jews

[18:23]are familiar with the abrahamic Traditions they're familiar with the sayings of

[18:30]previous Prophets let's ask them to come up with three questions that

[18:36]Muhammad wouldn't know it will embarrass him he wouldn't know the answer

[18:43]to these three questions Let's test him so they go to the

[18:46]Jews they're like we've got a very important task for you guys

[18:51]today what do you want can you come up with three questions

[18:52]that only a prophet can answer they said sure we have rabbis

[18:59]we have Scholars we have ahbar with us we'll come up with

[19:05]three tough questions only one who's connected with God would have access

[19:09]to these answers what are these three questions they said ask him

[19:13]these three the first one who are the people of the cave

[19:17]what's their story the second one what is the rule what's the

[19:23]soul tell us about the essence of the soul the third one

[19:27]tell us about name how many voyages did he make what's his

[19:31]story who was he they come to the prophet salallahu alaihi they

[19:37]told them if you're really a prophet we've got a task for

[19:41]you give us the answer to these very important questions who are

[19:46]they what's their story what are these voyages According to some reports

[19:54]he waits for a long time before receiving revelation such that the

[20:00]pagans started to doubt what's going on don't you have the answers

[20:06]from God why is the answer being delayed why do you think

[20:11]Allah delayed sending the answer why what's the wisdom behind that Allah

[20:17]was demonstrating to that Society it's not the prophet who's coming up

[20:22]with these answers he receives these answers from Allah and Allah chooses

[20:28]one to reveal them because when you have an answer and someone

[20:33]puts you on the spot you want to be quick in answering

[20:36]right is demonstrating to the world he's not coming up with the

[20:41]answers because if he was coming up with them he would have

[20:43]immediately answered you like many times you would but sometimes he wouldn't

[20:48]Allah says I decide when Revelation comes no one dictates on me

[20:53]to me when Revelation is going to come so there was a

[21:00]delay then one day comes and he brings the answers on the

[21:15]soul you know what the Jews had told the pagans they told

[21:19]them if he's really a prophet he will give you details about

[21:24]and about but he will not tell you what the soul is

[21:30]if he is really a prophet he will not tell you what

[21:34]the essence of the soul is because that's something only God knows

[21:38]it's beyond our domain that's if he's truly a prophet if he

[21:43]gave you any detailed answer realize that he's not a prophet the

[21:56]soul the spirit what's the response that Allah gives them say the

[22:04]soul is from the domain of Allah your knowledge is very little

[22:09]don't think you can ever know the essence of the Soul so

[22:11]he doesn't answer them and the Jews had told the pagans that's

[22:15]a sign of prophethood because none of the prophets of God would

[22:19]give us the details about the essence of the Soul so if

[22:23]he's really a prophet he'll follow that path and tradition but as

[22:27]for the story of the people of the cave and carne yes

[22:31]he will tell you the details if he's really a prophet so

[22:35]in Surah Allah tells us the story of it's a beautiful fascinating

[22:45]story that we derive many of our lessons from and it shows

[22:51]you the depth and the beauty of the Quran today my dear

[22:53]brothers and sisters some people ask what's the proof that the Quran

[22:59]is from Allah it's very simple in one minute you can prove

[23:03]and demonstrate that this book is from God when you examine the

[23:09]Holy Quran from the scientific aspect you see that there is information

[23:13]in the Holy Quran no one knew 14 centuries ago with so

[23:16]much detail with so much confidence tells you the universe is expanding

[23:24]the Holy Quran tells you that Allah created all life from water

[23:28]the Holy Quran tells you that God is holding the universe through

[23:34]an invisible pillar which is a reference to gravity how did someone

[23:39]who lived 14 centuries ago in the deserts of Arabia who was

[23:43]never educated by anyone who grew up as an orphan where did

[23:46]he get that Knowledge from look at the predictions of the Holy

[23:49]Quran the Quran predicted that the Romans would achieve victory over the

[23:56]Persians how did he know that how does the Quran know about

[23:58]previous civilizations with so much detail and then look at the laws

[24:03]contained in the Quran the geography contained in the Quran the psychology

[24:09]contained in the Quran look at the beautiful system that Allah gives

[24:14]you in the Holy Quran you want math you find it in

[24:18]the laws of inheritance every field of science there's a reference to

[24:22]it in the Holy Quran where did he get all this knowledge

[24:27]from it's fascinating and then from a literary perspective the eloquence that's

[24:31]contained in the Holy Quran no one was able to challenge it

[24:35]power of the words the structure of the sentences even the way

[24:42]the words sound the phonetics of the Quran it's truly a miracle

[24:47]Surat the final chapter of the Holy Quran chapter 1 14.

[24:52]the theme of the Surah is the whispering devil Satan he whispers

[25:00]to you now a whisper is silent right Allah wants you to

[25:07]always be on alert shaytan will find some very discreet ways to

[25:13]set a trap for you always be vigilant always be careful uses

[25:19]sounds in this Surah to communicate that point let alone the content

[25:25]Bismillah foreign what did you notice here sounds spooky right yes you've

[25:58]got that quiet Whispering letters the scene and the sheen why why

[26:05]does Allah structure the Surah in this fashion to help you with

[26:09]the content look shaytan is creepy that's how he functions he's discreet

[26:15]he whispers to you be careful isn't that a miracle who could

[26:17]come up with this 14th centuries ago in one minute you know

[26:22]this book came from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and this is just

[26:26]the tip of the iceberg so they would test the prophet if

[26:32]you truly are connected to God you will have access to these

[26:36]previous civilizations so at the time the Jews had heard about the

[26:39]name but they were not aware of the details of his journeys

[26:44]so they wanted to test the prophet Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reveals

[26:47]15 verses on the Holy Quran about the story let us examine

[26:51]these beautiful verses and the amazing lessons we can learn from them

[27:03]I will now reveal to you the details about this figure in

[27:11]um Begins the story of the name by telling us that he

[27:29]empowered and he gave him the access to resources had amazing access

[27:37]to technology he could travel instantaneously even at night Allah equipped him

[27:45]with a capacity to turn the night in today a type of

[27:49]power that he had a type of lighting that Allah had given

[27:55]him Allah says I gave him access to the means I revealed

[27:58]to him the knowledge of science the knowledge of Technology that comes

[28:04]from Allah here there is a beautiful lesson for us my dear

[28:10]brothers and sisters Allah wants us as Believers as Muslims to always

[28:16]find the means in this universe to supplicate rely on to of

[28:27]success but you have to go and find those means find access

[28:32]to Nature make discoveries that's why the imams peace be upon them

[28:37]they dedicated some of their best students to science chemistry astronomy is

[28:45]astronomy would teach astronomy they would teach biology look at the beautiful

[28:55]book called Imam examines every body part and he basically describes to

[29:03]you what's the function of this body part 14 centuries ago and

[29:09]when Muslims paid attention to science they cared about science and technology

[29:13]they were the Pioneers they were the leaders in the world when

[29:18]Europe was in the Dark Ages Muslim scientists were at the Forefront

[29:23]but then Muslims unfortunately started to abandon knowledge scholarship and Science and

[29:29]that's why the world abandoned them that's why they fell into backwardness

[29:34]Allah commands you find the secrets of this universe go and work

[29:42]hard some of us we sit lazy on our couches expecting Allah

[29:47]to perform a miracle for me go work work hard Allah loves

[29:54]the person who exhausts himself to work and be productive not to

[29:58]an unhealthy point you need to give yourself some rest as well

[30:01]but you should exhaust yourself in productivity you're going to live only

[30:05]once Habibi only once we're not coming here 10 times and 20

[30:10]times and 30 times make use of your time you know how

[30:13]much time we waste my dear brothers and sisters one of the

[30:20]biggest leading causes of sin is having free time on your hands

[30:26]many shabab they ask me say it I'm struggling with my desires

[30:31]with my sins this and that sin what do I do I

[30:34]tell them the best advice I can give you to stop sinning

[30:39]is to keep yourself so busy such that you literally don't have

[30:46]time to sin you know why we sin very simple at a

[30:51]very very basic level you know why we sin because we have

[30:55]the time for it when I have the time to sin chances

[31:00]are I'm going to sin but when I don't give myself that

[31:04]opportunity by keeping myself productive and busy I will sin less and

[31:12]less that's one beautiful lesson that we can learn be preoccupied work

[31:17]hard find those resources Allah Begins the story of the name by

[31:22]telling us he didn't rely on Dua or spirituality to achieve that

[31:28]progress yes he had them he was a righteous servant of Allah

[31:31]however Allah gave him the knowledge he worked hard go find those

[31:37]means Allah says I gave him the knowledge of the means he

[31:41]worked hard he followed those means that is a very beautiful lesson

[31:49]for us so now who is what era did he live in

[31:50]you will find Scholars of tafsir Scholars of the Holy Quran they

[31:56]have very diverse understandings was one group of Scholars they believe that

[32:04]lived before the modern recorded history so we don't really see any

[32:11]traces of his kingdom according to our narrations he came sometime after

[32:16]Prophet salaam so we really don't have anything recorded from that era

[32:21]so we can't put a label on him which king was he

[32:25]which ruler was he we don't know this is one group of

[32:30]Scholars a second group of Scholars they believe that is Alexander the

[32:35]Great the Macedonian who lived around 300 BC what's their evidence they

[32:43]say we believe he's Alexander the Great because occupied most of the

[32:48]world at the time most of the inhabited world and we find

[32:53]that Alexander the Great had a very vast Kingdom so it should

[32:58]be him but many scholars have challenged that many scholars have not

[33:01]accepted this analysis their reason is very simple they say when we

[33:06]look at the life of Alexander the Great we see number one

[33:10]that he wasn't a monotheist he used to worship the Greek gods

[33:15]whereas he was a monotheist he was a servant of Allah so

[33:22]it cannot be Alexander the Great we also see disturbing aspects of

[33:28]Alexander's Legacy he committed acts of Injustice whereas would not commit an

[33:35]act of Injustice so we cannot accept this Theory the third Theory

[33:41]among Scholars which is accepted by many is that was Cyrus the

[33:45]Great kurush we're talking about around 500 BC the great leader who

[33:53]occupied large swaths of land and he established a kingdom in Persia

[33:59]now what is their evidence why do they believe that he's Cyrus

[34:05]the Great number one they say Cyrus the Great was a monotheist

[34:09]there are reports that he believed in a lord called ahura Mazda

[34:13]which means the wise Lord he did not worship the idols and

[34:20]he professed in monotheism so this is one good indicator here secondly

[34:27]he had a very good character he would not commit acts of

[34:31]Injustice for instance the Greek historian Herodotus he says Cyrus the Great

[34:37]would tell his soldiers when we go to a place on let's

[34:39]say there is a battle only fight those who confront you as

[34:45]for the civilians don't kill a single one of them this is

[34:51]a prophetic teaching this is the teaching of someone who has faith

[34:54]and he was also known to be generous so this is another

[35:01]indicator yet another indicator that he was Cyrus the Great is because

[35:05]the Jews asked about they came up with this question so he

[35:07]must have been a figure that they were familiar with well the

[35:11]Jews they have so much respect for Cyrus the Great they considered

[35:18]him the Messiah why what did he do for them he saved

[35:21]them from Babylonian captivity was mastering massacring the Jews and he held

[35:28]them in captivity who is the one who saved them it was

[35:33]Cyrus the Great and so this is an indication that they were

[35:36]familiar with this figure and this could be him another indication is

[35:41]you find in the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament there's

[35:45]a reference to Daniel seeing a dream of a two-horned ram after

[35:51]Prophet Daniel saw this dream the Jews became happy they knew someone

[35:57]would be coming to save them and then Cyrus the Great saved

[36:03]them mean in Arabic has a number of meanings one is the

[36:09]two horns this could be a reference to this dream that's one

[36:15]meaning of another meaning of tarnain is the two horns of the

[36:19]sun meaning the sunrise and the sunset this indicates his very vast

[36:26]Kingdom he ruled from where the Sun would rise all the way

[36:29]to where the sun would set it's a figure of speech a

[36:34]third meaning why he's called is a Hadith from he says the

[36:41]reason why he's called is because one of the meanings of Karan

[36:46]is the side of your head he says he was a Pious

[36:50]person he came to his people he preached to his people they

[36:53]struck him on his right side so he left he disappeared he

[36:59]came back wanting to guide his people they struck him this time

[37:02]on his left side he disappeared then he came now Allah gave

[37:07]him a kingdom and he ruled this is another reason why he's

[37:13]called now was he a prophet or not according to the Hadith

[37:19]peace be upon them was not a prophet in fact Imam was

[37:22]asked about this and he gave a very beautiful example he says

[37:28]was not a prophet yet he received instructions from God and Allah

[37:33]gave him special access to the secrets of the universe and that's

[37:37]how we are the imams of we're not prophets but Allah has

[37:43]given us special access to this universe now what are the journeys

[37:49]that he made because here we take the very important lessons from

[37:52]the life of the name the Holy Quran talks about three Journeys

[37:57]that he made the first one to the West the second one

[38:03]to the east the third one to an area that was mountainous

[38:07]and there was a pass over there let's now shed some light

[38:13]on these beautiful verses in Surah foreign he reached the west where

[38:23]the sun would set the Holy Quran states he saw the sun

[38:28]setting in a body of water that was black and murky where

[38:41]was this place some scholars believe this is Western turkey if you're

[38:45]familiar with the city of Izmir there are some Lakes over there

[38:50]that are muddy and murky they believe this is where it happened

[38:52]this is just a possibility we don't exactly know where this happened

[38:56]you will find some people who are critical of the Holy Quran

[39:02]such as some atheists they tell you see we have found a

[39:05]scientific error in the Quran because this verse states that the sun

[39:09]sets in a murky body of water and we know that's not

[39:15]the case what's the answer to this objection the Holy Quran does

[39:20]not say the sun set in that black body of water the

[39:25]Holy Quran says he saw it setting in that murky body of

[39:33]water the Holy Quran is so cinematic in the way that it

[39:41]portrays to us the story it's like the Quran is telling you

[39:43]here's the lens of imagine you're standing there on the horizon and

[39:51]you see the disc of the sun setting in that sea that's

[39:53]a beautiful tool that the Holy Quran uses the Quran doesn't say

[39:59]it actually sat there he says that's how he saw it and

[40:02]that's the beauty of the Quran it's very cinematic Allah knows how

[40:08]to tell us the best of stories he saw a group of

[40:15]people there there were two types of people in that Village he

[40:22]tells them there are good people in this Village and there are

[40:28]bad people ask for the evil ones threaten them that if they

[40:30]continue their evil you will punish them and the good ones you

[40:35]will reward them what does he say and this is a very

[40:38]beautiful lesson for us this was his philosophy he tells them the

[40:46]one who oppresses I shall seek revenge from them before Allah will

[40:51]seek revenge from them on the day of judgment and those who

[40:55]are good I will be gentle with them in fact I'll be

[41:01]lenient with them I'll give them some passes I'll take less taxes

[41:05]from them here is a very important lesson for us my dear

[41:11]brothers and sisters there's bad discrimination and there's good discrimination bad discrimination

[41:19]is when you discriminate on the basis of color for instance on

[41:23]the basis of race this is unacceptable you cannot discriminate on the

[41:31]basis of race but if you discriminate on the basis of deeds

[41:36]and actions is that acceptable or not do you equate between the

[41:41]evil one and the good one do you equate between the disbeliever

[41:45]and the believer is teaching us a beautiful policy people who are

[41:52]good reward them for their goodness don't equate them with the evil

[41:56]ones that's not fair because you're betraying goodness over here today's society

[42:03]doesn't care about this do we really reward the good doers out

[42:07]there or no he tells him I want you to distinguish the

[42:18]good people who do acts of goodness because if you don't you're

[42:22]betraying the goodness then people won't care about the goodness you should

[42:26]encourage people to become good let them know there are rewards here

[42:29]in this world for being good if you have three four children

[42:36]and one of them stands out he's decent she's very decent they

[42:40]offer Good Deeds Islam encourages you to give them special preferential treatment

[42:46]yes reward them for their acts of goodness that's a very important

[42:52]policy that we must uphold in our families and our societies so

[42:55]that people know that if you're good you will be rewarded for

[42:58]that goodness this is a beautiful lesson from and this explains why

[43:07]most Scholars have issued this fatwa when it comes to organ donation

[43:10]this is a very sensitive issue I know some of you will

[43:14]have an issue with it I've had these conversations with you but

[43:17]I want you to understand at least what's the logic behind it

[43:22]most Scholars State you can donate your organs it's permissible it's disputed

[43:29]by Scholars but many say it's Halal you can donate your organs

[43:33]however there's one condition here they have said if there are two

[43:36]recipients two potential recipients one is a believer One is not a

[43:48]believer you have to donate your organ if you can to the

[43:51]believer some people will say come on this is discrimination what do

[43:55]you mean let's try to understand the logic behind this Islam tells

[43:59]you if you can save all of them save them you're passing

[44:03]by a river you see two people drowning and you can save

[44:09]them both save them whether they're Believers or not but let's say

[44:13]you can only save one one of them is a Believer the

[44:17]second one is not a Believer what do you do who do

[44:19]you save the believer discrimination someone says why are you discriminating is

[44:25]that discrimination if you save the believer why is that not discrimination

[44:31]you're rewarding the believer for his acts of goodness if you go

[44:39]and save the criminal if you save the evil one you're betraying

[44:44]Iman you're betraying Good Deeds this is not discrimination that is why

[44:48]Scholars say if you can choose who your recipient is choose the

[44:55]one who has Iman the one who has faith think about it

[44:58]you used your heart to your liver during your life to worship

[45:01]Allah trying your best to follow the rules of Allah then you

[45:08]give this heart to someone who's going to use this heart to

[45:10]disobey Allah to drink to commit acts of evil are you okay

[45:18]with that if there is a recipient who's a Believer don't you

[45:21]want to give it to that believer this is not discrimination this

[45:27]is distinguishes the distinguishing those who are good the good doers and

[45:32]Allah encourages you to distinguish them to reward them that is not

[45:38]discrimination so you find this principle in the Holy Quran if we

[45:43]don't know that's fine we're assuming that you do know there are

[45:46]two recipients you know that one is a believer One is not

[45:49]a Believer let's say you know that and you have the choice

[45:54]to actually designate who your recipient is that's what the scholars discuss

[45:59]sometimes you can say I can't choose who the recipient is that's

[46:02]another discussion or I don't know who is better than the other

[46:07]in terms of their Iman that's fine we're looking at a case

[46:10]when you know let me give you an example one is a

[46:11]believer One is an atheist if a Believer needs your heart your

[46:17]kidney your liver and an atheist needs it who should you give

[46:22]it to you should give it to the believer because that's how

[46:24]you honor Iman in faith don't let someone come and tell you

[46:29]no this is discrimination it's not discrimination I have a valid criteria

[46:32]here there's a difference between an atheist and a believer atheism my

[46:39]dear brothers and sisters is an ideological crime you know why I'll

[46:44]give you a very simple example why atheism is an ideological crime

[46:49]you know what an atheist really tells you if there is a

[46:55]child a five-year-old child who's suffering who's born with a disability he's

[46:59]suffering every single day you know what an atheist tells you he

[47:05]tells the child basically look suffer all you want there is no

[47:09]compensation there is no reward you'll just become dust isn't that an

[47:15]ideological crime or as the believer comes and gives this child patience

[47:19]be patient it's okay Allah will reward you can you equate between

[47:27]these two imagine there's a child who's going through pain he's going

[47:32]through some issues some problems his father the next day wants to

[47:36]take him to Disney World now the child is happy they tell

[47:40]him it's okay be patient let's go through this tomorrow you're going

[47:42]to go to your favorite theme park this gives him patience and

[47:45]then someone from the street or one of your friends comes and

[47:48]tells him no no this is all a lie don't believe in

[47:52]any of this you're gonna suffer now you're gonna suffer tomorrow there

[47:55]is no going to Disney World is that fair does that person

[48:00]have the right to come and say that that's what an atheist

[48:03]does and atheists tells you there is no God there's no compensation

[48:06]there's no reward you're gonna suffer too bad tough luck there's no

[48:12]even purpose for you in life you're just some evolutionary accident out

[48:16]there sorry tomorrow you die you become dust there's no compensation that's

[48:21]an ideological crime I can't equate between this two so this is

[48:27]the lesson that we learned from my dear brothers and sisters he

[48:30]says reward the good ones and the evil ones no don't give

[48:35]them the same treatment that you give to the good ones so

[48:38]this happened on his first journey let's now go to his second

[48:45]Journey the second journey of Abdul Karne was to the east he

[48:51]went Far East to where the sun rises from this means the

[48:57]farthest point that you can go east some scholars believe this was

[49:01]somewhere maybe in China on the borders of China what happens over

[49:05]here what does he see he sees a group of people Allah

[49:10]says we have not put a barrier between them and the son

[49:14]they're exposed to the Sun this group of people was A Primitive

[49:19]people they did not know how to build homes they did not

[49:23]know how to build a roof this is so they would be

[49:28]always exposed to sunlight or they did not have enough clothes to

[49:33]protect themselves from sunlight another tapseal is that this area was a

[49:38]desert there were no mountains or trees to block them from sunlight

[49:44]he goes and he checks on them people isolated in some desert

[49:51]Allah commands him go check on them see if they need anything

[49:53]sometimes there are people in your life you need to check on

[49:57]them my dear brothers and sisters you could be having a neighbor

[49:59]on your street who's suffering have we ever thought of going on

[50:05]them and checking on them there may be someone quiet out there

[50:09]in the community person doesn't have many friends normally what do we

[50:13]do we ignore people like that we only care about popular people

[50:17]right there's this poor guy sitting in the corner of a classroom

[50:21]nobody cares about them go check on them this person may be

[50:26]given a treasure by Allah that you don't have this person is

[50:29]the creation of Allah so Allah commands him on his second journey

[50:35]to go and check on this group of people then the final

[50:38]and the most interesting Journey then he goes to an area that's

[50:46]mountainous and there's a past there's a Gorge we don't exactly know

[50:50]where that area was some scholars believe it's an area between the

[50:53]Black Sea and the Caspian Sea and the caucus in modern day

[50:58]Georgia not the state of Georgia here in the U.S the country

[51:01]Georgia and Eastern Europe there's a mountain rage that separates the north

[51:07]from the south that's where he goes what happens there he reached

[51:14]an area where you had a pass between two mountains he found

[51:21]a group of people there who could not communicate well they couldn't

[51:29]communicate properly there was some communication barrier that's how the Quran describes

[51:34]them Scholars have two understandings of why there was that communication barrier

[51:44]one group of scholars believe intellectually these people were not advanced so

[51:51]they couldn't really communicate well they were very primitive another tough seal

[51:56]is no they could communicate but a different language so he needed

[52:01]someone to translate for them in any case what we know from

[52:07]the Holy Quran is on his third trip this group of people

[52:09]had a language barrier communication barrier even though they struggled to communicate

[52:16]they asked to help them they needed help there are two tribes

[52:25]on the other side of the mountain their names are Jews every

[52:30]once in a while they come they raid our Villages they confiscate

[52:37]our resources they destroy us and leave please we have a request

[52:41]from you can you build some sort of fence some sort of

[52:43]barrier to protect us from them and we'll pay you we are

[52:48]willing to pay you are you willing to help us look at

[52:52]the response it's okay I don't need your money what Allah has

[53:00]given me is better than what you can give me I'm satisfied

[53:05]with the blessings Allah has given me sometimes my dear brothers and

[53:10]sisters we get extremely greedy extremely greedy we want more and more

[53:16]and more every opportunity we have we want to make more you

[53:20]know islamically my dear brothers and sisters even if you have a

[53:22]Halal business you know it's macro macro means it's not Haram it's

[53:29]discouraged there's less Baraka in your life when you commit an act

[53:33]of makro it's macro to make a huge profit it's unrecommended don't

[53:40]take advantage of people even if you can charge 500 and make

[53:46]a 500 profit if it's Halal it's fine if you're not ripping

[53:48]off someone it's fine but it's makro Islam teaches you be content

[53:54]because the more you charge money and the more you want money

[53:59]the greater you'll become that's the philosophy of life he tells them

[54:03]it's okay I don't need your money however I do ask for

[54:07]one thing but I want you to help me I could use

[54:11]your muscles I could use your Manpower was able to create that

[54:19]barrier and damn for them he was able to do that but

[54:23]he wanted them to be involved in bringing a solution to this

[54:30]problem it's much more effective my dear brothers and sisters when someone

[54:33]has a problem to involve them in creative thinking so they can

[54:39]arrive at a solution don't give people Solutions teach them how to

[54:43]figure out the solution if there's a problem in your family okay

[54:46]with your children with their upbringing maybe their behavior maybe the way

[54:51]they're spending at home instead of just giving them Solutions involve them

[54:56]in finding a solution on a Saturday night get together with your

[55:00]spouse your children your parents whoever they are and say we have

[55:05]a problem in the family how can we fix this brainstorm together

[55:08]when people come up with the solution they feel like it's their

[55:15]solution at that point they're much more willing to implement it that's

[55:19]a beautiful lesson that Durkin teaches us he had the power to

[55:22]create that damn that they wanted but he's like no I want

[55:26]you to help me I don't want your money but come what

[55:28]do you want bring me huge sheets of iron you see this

[55:38]Gorge this mountain pass let's block it so yeah can no longer

[55:41]come and raid you can you help me with that they're like

[55:45]of course we can so they brought these huge sheets of iron

[55:49]they filled that Gap in that pass and then look at the

[55:57]technology that Allah gave he's like bring me fire now I want

[56:00]you now to weld these sheets of iron blow blow on these

[56:06]sheets of iron so we can weld them so we can make

[56:11]a very fortified and strong Dam then he told them I want

[56:14]you to bring molten copper let's put the copper on it so

[56:25]this strengthens the iron and so he built a very powerful dam

[56:28]for them this blocked yet from effectively coming and destroying these villages

[56:36]and that's how the name was able to help those people after

[56:42]he built that huge Dam it was a huge accomplishment the biggest

[56:46]dam in history during that era made from Iron no one had

[56:51]the technology to do that you know what he said when he

[56:55]finished look at the humbleness of this great warrior this great servant

[57:03]of Allah he says this is all from my Lord there's a

[57:07]beautiful lesson over here my dear brothers and sisters many times in

[57:10]this Dunya when we have an achievement when we make an achievement

[57:15]we feel like we are the owners of that achievement always be

[57:20]humbled you're the best doctor thank Allah Allah gave you the resources

[57:24]you're a good nurse a good teacher a successful businessman thank Allah

[57:32]and share your success with others True Believers share their success with

[57:40]other people because they know everything is from Allah nothing in this

[57:45]life they own Allah has allowed you to borrow his resources many

[57:49]times if someone is being successful in my field we got bothered

[57:53]right how many times have you seen fights between business owners this

[57:58]person opens up a business another person opens up another business on

[58:04]the other side he gets ticked off people fight people kill each

[58:07]other because of that my dear brothers and sisters a true man

[58:09]A True Believer if you have a successful business and people learned

[58:13]from you even if they're copying your business be thankful to Allah

[58:19]say oh Allah you are the razak at the end of the

[58:23]day I thank you for using me as a tool to inspire

[58:27]others how to make money how to be successful in their lives

[58:33]be thankful to Allah don't be bothered believe me if you help

[58:37]others out there your quality of life will not get worse it

[58:40]will get better that's a beautiful lesson that we learned from him

[58:45]every time you make an achievement remind yourself this is from Allah

[58:51]and that's truly a fascinating lesson that we learned from now who

[58:58]are you yeah historically were two tribes that lived in Northern Asia

[59:06]they were very vicious large in numbers and they would destroy the

[59:09]villages that they would raid now in our hadiths especially if you

[59:13]look at the hadiths of other schools of thought there are mythical

[59:17]descriptions of who they are mythical descriptions like some sort of aliens

[59:23]yeah George and met George will appear at the End of Time

[59:27]blocked them he stopped their Mischief Allah stopped their aggression but one

[59:33]of the signs of the reappearance of Allah is that yeah will

[59:41]be able to penetrate that Dam it will crumble they will penetrate

[59:48]and they will start to spread their aggression around the planet this

[59:52]is one of the signs of the reappearance of element until he

[59:58]reappears with Prophet Isa is the one who gets rid of them

[60:03]we don't exactly know which you know country they are which nation

[60:09]they are there are some people who say they come from China

[60:14]we don't know that this is not clear in our hadiths but

[60:16]they are people who spread a lot of Injustice on the face

[60:22]of the planet then the Imam alaihissalam will rise and he will

[60:25]save the world from destruction it could be it could be that

[60:27]those parts of Asia during the end of times they will be

[60:33]so influential with their Mass numbers they will cause and wreak havoc

[60:38]around the world this is a possibility but we cannot put a

[60:41]label and say I know there are some people they'll you'll see

[60:45]YouTube videos saying yeah they're the Chinese the Chinese people they're going

[60:50]to you know take control of the world and destroy it that's

[60:53]not clear from our hadiths yes they come from that area but

[60:58]we don't know who exactly they are but we do know that

[61:00]Allah will protect us from them through the reappearance of element this

[61:08]is my dear brothers and sisters and these are the lessons that

[61:14]we learn from the legacy of this great king who was so

[61:17]humble before Allah if we humble our hearts before God Allah subhanahu

[61:24]ta'ala will preserve your legacy on this night our hearts remember one

[61:33]of the Warriors of karbala in fact The Greatest Warrior after Imam

[61:39]al-hussein would not have been without as long as he was present

[61:55]ladies felt safe the woman and the children they felt safe they

[62:05]had a guardian they had a protector like Salah on the day

[62:14]of Ashura sees his brothers one by one being killed they fall

[62:20]as shahada he sees the companions of Imam Hussain one by one

[62:24]being killed and he hears the cries of the children his Compassionate

[62:34]Heart could no longer handle hearing the words of Allah from those

[62:42]children he walks up to Imam and Hussein he tells him my

[62:55]dear brother my chest is tight I'm very depressed because of these

[63:01]people please I don't want to live anymore please allow me to

[63:08]go and fight them you see how vicious they are they want

[63:11]to kill you they want to harass these children Abba Abdullah I've

[63:18]lost patience I beg you my master give me permission to go

[63:21]Imam husseinam tells him my dear brother you are the commander of

[63:28]my Army you go and I lose you I affect to have

[63:30]an army anymore how can I lose you boss and Abbas keeps

[63:36]begging his brother Jose finally is in he tells him okay brother

[63:43]if you must go if you insist then try to go to

[63:49]the river and bring some water for these children you hear them

[63:54]crying finally I can go and fight these enemies finally I have

[64:08]a chance to bring some water for these children he rides on

[64:14]his and he is the son of Amir with so much courage

[64:16]with so much strength and power he goes to the river of

[64:23]farat there were four thousand men guarding the river with his Valor

[64:29]with his courage he manages to break them apart to make them

[64:33]disperse from around the river finally he victoriously reaches the river of

[64:39]farad he now comes down from his horse he feels the coolness

[64:49]of the water imagine imagine two three days not drinking any water

[64:53]he feels the coolness of the water but at that point instead

[65:01]of drinking all believers he remembers The Thirst of his brother Jose

[65:07]foreign impossible Abbas drinks water when his master is still thirsty when

[65:12]the children are thirsty no he takes a handful of the water

[65:15]he looks at the water then he spills the water and he

[65:20]says oh nerves humble yourself before saying you think you could live

[65:37]after Jose there's no life after Jose this is your master Hussein

[65:50]surrounded with death and you want to taste the water no Wallah

[65:53]that's not what my religion teaches me that's not what I learned

[65:57]from the prophet salallahu alaihi my faith will be the same Faith

[66:03]he had a jug of water he fills it with water now

[66:08]Believers my dear brothers and sisters has one goal in his life

[66:14]right now he's withering he's dying from thirst this was his only

[66:29]goal in life he mounts on his horse he carries his sword

[66:36]and he carries with his left arm the jug of water now

[66:41]he's trying to go back to the tents of Imam Hussain the

[66:44]enemies they realize if he manages to get the water on the

[66:49]other side if Imam for saying drinks from this water and he's

[66:51]strengthened that's it they might lose the battle he tells his men

[66:57]what are you waiting for you must block him from going surround

[67:01]him from every direction take him down all believers is now going

[67:11]towards the tent Abbas is passing by the palm trees one of

[67:27]sword he strikes on the right arm of an Abbas he loses

[67:36]his right arm his arm falls to the ground what does he
