00:03:42,289 This story 80 00:03:42,289 --> 00:03:45,289 Caused the high heavens to tremble. 81 00:03:45,289 --> 00:03:47,289 This story 82 00:03:47,289 --> 00:03:51,289 Carries within it lessons and indications 83 00:03:51,289 --> 00:03:54,289 That make the Muslim woman 84 00:03:54,289 --> 00:03:56,289 Hold her head high, 85 00:03:56,289 --> 00:03:58,289 With pride and dignity, 86 00:03:58,289 --> 00:04:01,289 For the attention Islam has given her. 87 00:04:01,370 --> 00:04:04,370 Let us listen, O servants of Allah, 88 00:04:04,370 --> 00:04:08,439 Let us listen together to the story of this woman, 89 00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:11,439 Whom Allah the Exalted immortalized 90 00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:13,439 In His glorious Qur'an, 91 00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:15,439 To be a lesson and an example, 92 00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:17,439 Not just for women, no, 93 00:04:17,439 --> 00:04:21,439 But for men and women alike. 94 00:04:21,439 --> 00:04:23,600 Her story is 95 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,629 That her husband was a very old man 96 00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:28,629 Whose temperament had become difficult. 97 00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:30,629 She said: "He came to me one day, 98 00:04:30,709 --> 00:04:33,709 And I argued with him about something, so he became angry, 99 00:04:33,709 --> 00:04:36,769 And said: 'You are to me as the back of my mother.'" 100 00:04:36,769 --> 00:04:38,769 He likened her to his mother. 101 00:04:38,769 --> 00:04:42,769 And if a man likens his wife to his mother, 102 00:04:42,769 --> 00:04:44,769 Intending prohibition, 103 00:04:44,769 --> 00:04:46,769 Then his wife has become forbidden to him. 104 00:04:46,769 --> 00:04:50,769 But after his temper cooled, 105 00:04:50,769 --> 00:04:52,769 And his heart settled, 106 00:04:52,769 --> 00:04:54,769 He wanted to have relations with her, 107 00:04:54,769 --> 00:04:56,769 But she said to him: "No, 108 00:04:56,769 --> 00:04:59,769 Do not come near me until I ask the Messenger of Allah." 109 00:04:59,850 --> 00:05:02,850 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 110 00:05:02,850 --> 00:05:05,850 "These are the limits of Allah, 111 00:05:05,850 --> 00:05:07,850 And whoever transgresses the limits of Allah, 112 00:05:07,850 --> 00:05:09,850 Has wronged himself." 113 00:05:09,850 --> 00:05:11,850 Look, O servants of Allah, 114 00:05:11,850 --> 00:05:13,850 At this woman, 115 00:05:13,850 --> 00:05:16,850 Whose principle in life was: 116 00:05:16,850 --> 00:05:18,850 "There is no obedience to a created being 117 00:05:18,850 --> 00:05:20,850 In disobedience to the Creator." 118 00:05:20,850 --> 00:05:22,850 Here is Aws 119 00:05:22,850 --> 00:05:24,850 Ibn al-Samit, 120 00:05:24,850 --> 00:05:25,850 Her husband, 121 00:05:25,850 --> 00:05:27,850 And the person most beloved to her, 122 00:05:27,930 --> 00:05:30,930 Demanding his right from her as a wife, 123 00:05:30,930 --> 00:05:31,930 Yet she swears 124 00:05:31,930 --> 00:05:34,930 Not to allow him access to her 125 00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:37,930 Until she consults the Messenger of Allah, 126 00:05:37,930 --> 00:05:39,930 Peace be upon him, 127 00:05:39,930 --> 00:05:42,930 And asks him about this matter, 128 00:05:42,930 --> 00:05:44,930 Because *zihar* (the declaration of a wife as one's mother) in the pre-Islamic era 129 00:05:44,930 --> 00:05:46,930 Meant divorce, 130 00:05:46,930 --> 00:05:48,930 And she did not know 131 00:05:48,930 --> 00:05:50,930 Whether Islam had upheld what was practiced 132 00:05:50,930 --> 00:05:52,930 In the pre-Islamic era, 133 00:05:52,930 --> 00:05:54,930 Or if Islam had another ruling. 134 00:05:54,930 --> 00:05:56,930 So she went to the Messenger of Allah, 135 00:05:57,009 --> 00:06:00,009 Peace be upon him, 136 00:06:00,009 --> 00:06:03,009 And listen to how she presented her case, 137 00:06:03,009 --> 00:06:05,009 With a style 138 00:06:05,009 --> 00:06:08,009 That the tongue is unable to express. 139 00:06:08,009 --> 00:06:10,009 She said: "O Messenger of Allah, 140 00:06:10,009 --> 00:06:14,009 Aws married me when I was young, 141 00:06:14,009 --> 00:06:16,009 Desirable to him. 142 00:06:16,009 --> 00:06:19,009 But when I grew old and my family died, 143 00:06:19,009 --> 00:06:21,009 He declared *zihar* upon me, 144 00:06:21,009 --> 00:06:23,009 Making me like his mother. 145 00:06:23,009 --> 00:06:25,009 O Messenger of Allah, 146 00:06:25,089 --> 00:06:28,089 I have small children by him; 147 00:06:28,089 --> 00:06:30,089 If I leave them with him, they will be lost, 148 00:06:30,089 --> 00:06:33,089 And if I take them with me, they will go hungry." 149 00:06:33,089 --> 00:06:37,089 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to her: 150 00:06:37,089 --> 00:06:40,089 "O Khawlah, I see you 151 00:06:40,089 --> 00:06:42,089 As having become forbidden to him." 152 00:06:42,089 --> 00:06:44,089 She said: "O Messenger of Allah, 153 00:06:44,089 --> 00:06:46,089 Do not say that, 154 00:06:46,089 --> 00:06:48,089 For I am alone, 155 00:06:48,089 --> 00:06:50,089 I have no family other than him." 156 00:06:50,089 --> 00:06:52,089 And the Prophet, peace be upon him, 157 00:06:52,089 --> 00:06:54,089 Said: "O Khawlah, 158 00:06:54,170 --> 00:06:57,170 I see you as having become forbidden to him." 159 00:06:57,170 --> 00:06:59,170 She said: "O Messenger of Allah, 160 00:06:59,170 --> 00:07:01,170 He did not utter a divorce, 161 00:07:01,170 --> 00:07:03,170 He only uttered *zihar*, 162 00:07:03,170 --> 00:07:05,170 Saying: 'You are to me as the back of my mother.'" 163 00:07:05,170 --> 00:07:08,170 He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 164 00:07:08,170 --> 00:07:12,170 "O Khawlah, I see you as having become forbidden to him." 165 00:07:12,170 --> 00:07:14,170 She said: "O Messenger of Allah, 166 00:07:14,170 --> 00:07:17,170 He is my cousin and my husband, 167 00:07:17,170 --> 00:07:19,170 And I have no family other than him." 168 00:07:19,170 --> 00:07:22,170 He said: "I see you as having become forbidden to him." 169 00:07:22,170 --> 00:07:24,870 So she began to debate with the Messenger of Allah, 170 00:07:24,870 --> 00:07:28,370 While the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, kept saying: 171 00:07:28,370 --> 00:07:33,170 "O Khawlah, I see you as having become forbidden to him." 172 00:07:33,170 --> 00:07:36,670 So she wept and raised her hands to the sky, 173 00:07:36,670 --> 00:07:39,370 And said: "O my Lord, O my Lord, 174 00:07:39,370 --> 00:07:42,370 O Allah, I complain to You of my situation, 175 00:07:42,370 --> 00:07:45,470 My loneliness, and my poverty before You, 176 00:07:45,470 --> 00:07:46,670 O my Lord." 177 00:07:46,670 --> 00:07:49,269 So, what do you think happened 178 00:07:49,269 --> 00:07:51,670 After she turned to Allah, 179 00:07:51,670 --> 00:07:56,170 And prayed, wept, and complained of her state to Allah? 180 00:07:56,170 --> 00:08:00,170 Suddenly, the Trustworthy Gabriel, peace be upon him, 181 00:08:00,170 --> 00:08:02,670 Fluttered with the wings of mercy 182 00:08:02,670 --> 00:08:06,670 Upon the beloved Muhammad, peace be upon him, 183 00:08:06,670 --> 00:08:10,170 With a Qur'an to be recited until the Day of Resurrection. 184 00:08:10,170 --> 00:08:13,170 And listen to what our Lord, the Almighty and Majestic, said: 185 00:08:13,170 --> 00:08:16,170 I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. 186 00:08:16,170 --> 00:08:19,170 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 187 00:08:19,670 --> 00:08:26,670 “Allah hath heard the saying of her that disputeth with thee (Muhammad) concerning her husband, and complaineth unto Allah. And Allah heareth your colloquy. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower.” (58:1) 188 00:08:26,670 --> 00:08:28,670 And she complains to Allah, 189 00:08:28,670 --> 00:08:33,169 And Allah hears your dialogue. 190 00:08:33,169 --> 00:08:36,169 Indeed, Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. 191 00:08:36,169 --> 00:08:40,169 Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 192 00:08:40,169 --> 00:08:42,669 "O Khawlah, rejoice!" 193 00:08:42,669 --> 00:08:45,169 She said: "Good news, O Messenger of Allah?" 194 00:08:45,169 --> 00:08:47,669 And he recited the verses to her. 195 00:08:47,669 --> 00:08:50,669 How great is Khawlah bint Tha'labah, 196 00:08:50,669 --> 00:08:52,669 Regarding whom Allah revealed 197 00:08:52,669 --> 00:08:56,169 A Qur'an to be recited until the Day of Resurrection, 198 00:08:56,169 --> 00:09:00,169 And legislated for her sake an important aspect 199 00:09:00,169 --> 00:09:03,169 Of the aspects of Islamic law, 200 00:09:03,169 --> 00:09:06,169 Which raised the status of the Muslim woman, 201 00:09:06,169 --> 00:09:08,669 And preserved her dignity, 202 00:09:08,669 --> 00:09:10,169 For all time. 203 00:09:10,169 --> 00:09:12,669 May Allah be pleased with her and grant her satisfaction, 204 00:09:12,669 --> 00:09:15,669 And may Allah be pleased with all the Companions. 205 00:09:15,669 --> 00:09:18,669 May Allah bless me and you with the Great Qur'an, 206 00:09:18,669 --> 00:09:22,669 May Allah benefit me and you through the verses and the wise reminder contained therein. 207 00:09:22,669 --> 00:09:24,669 I say what you hear, and I ask Allah for forgiveness. 208 00:09:24,669 --> 00:09:26,669 For myself and for you, so seek His forgiveness. 209 00:09:26,669 --> 00:09:28,669 How fortunate are those who seek forgiveness. 210 00:09:28,669 --> 00:09:32,980 All praise is due to Allah. 211 00:09:32,980 --> 00:09:36,070 I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah. 212 00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:40,799 And I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 213 00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:43,679 To proceed, O servants of Allah: 214 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,179 Indeed, Surah al-Mujadilah, O servants of Allah, 215 00:09:46,179 --> 00:09:48,679 Is a magnificent and wondrous surah. 216 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,179 Yes, the jinn marveled at the Qur'an. 217 00:09:52,179 --> 00:09:55,679 They said, "Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur'an." 218 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,679 Indeed, Surah al-Mujadilah, O servants of Allah, 219 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,679 There is not a single verse among its verses, 220 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,679 But that the majestic name, Allah, 221 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,679 Is present in every verse. 222 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,679 This is because this incident 223 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,679 Relates to the most sacred of matters, 224 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,679 And the most critical of issues, 225 00:10:16,179 --> 00:10:18,179 Which is married life. 226 00:10:18,179 --> 00:10:21,179 For when a home was on the verge of collapse, 227 00:10:21,179 --> 00:10:23,679 The heavens trembled. 228 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,179 So where do the Muslims stand regarding this great lesson? 229 00:10:27,179 --> 00:10:30,179 Where are those who are negligent in this regard, 230 00:10:30,179 --> 00:10:32,179 Leading to the ruin of their families? 231 00:10:32,179 --> 00:10:36,679 Where are they in relation to the hadith of the Prophet, peace be upon him? 232 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,179 "A believing man should not hate a believing woman; 233 00:10:39,179 --> 00:10:41,179 If he dislikes a trait in her, 234 00:10:41,179 --> 00:10:43,179 He will be pleased with another." 235 00:10:43,179 --> 00:10:44,679 Narrated by Muslim. 236 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,179 We see today, 237 00:10:46,179 --> 00:10:48,179 With great regret, 238 00:10:48,179 --> 00:10:50,679 Those who let divorce roll off their tongues 239 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,179 As easily as water flows down from a mountain, 240 00:10:53,179 --> 00:10:55,179 With complete ease. 241 00:10:55,179 --> 00:10:57,679 And if he wants to swear an oath upon himself, 242 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,679 Or upon someone else, 243 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,679 He says, "I swear by divorce." 244 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,679 Then, when he breaks his oath, 245 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,179 He falls into distress, 246 00:11:05,179 --> 00:11:07,179 And begins asking for solutions 247 00:11:07,179 --> 00:11:10,179 That might save him from this predicament. 248 00:11:10,179 --> 00:11:13,179 And some of them are overtaken by Satan, 249 00:11:13,179 --> 00:11:15,179 Satan takes hold of them, 250 00:11:15,179 --> 00:11:17,179 Just as he does during moments of anger, 251 00:11:17,179 --> 00:11:19,679 So he divorces his wife three times, 252 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,679 All at once. 253 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,179 Indeed, some who do not fear Allah— 254 00:11:24,179 --> 00:11:26,679 Yes, some who do not fear Allah— 255 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,679 When their gaze falls upon a woman, 256 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,179 Satan tempts them with her, 257 00:11:32,179 --> 00:11:34,179 And their heart becomes attached to her, 258 00:11:34,179 --> 00:11:36,179 Even though she is married. 259 00:11:36,179 --> 00:11:39,179 So he attempts to corrupt her against her husband, 260 00:11:39,179 --> 00:11:41,179 So that her husband might divorce her. 261 00:11:41,179 --> 00:11:43,179 Whoever is in this state, 262 00:11:43,179 --> 00:11:46,179 Upon him is a grave sin. 263 00:11:46,179 --> 00:11:49,179 The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 264 00:11:49,179 --> 00:11:52,179 "He is not one of us who corrupts a woman against her husband, 265 00:11:52,179 --> 00:11:55,179 Meaning, he ruins her relationship with her husband, 266 00:11:55,179 --> 00:11:57,179 Or a slave against his master." 267 00:11:57,179 --> 00:11:58,679 Narrated by Abu Dawud. 268 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,679 And some women, too, 269 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,679 Ask their husbands for a divorce 270 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,179 Without any valid reason. 271 00:12:04,179 --> 00:12:06,679 The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 272 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,340 "Any woman 273 00:12:08,340 --> 00:12:10,840 Who asks her husband for a divorce 274 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,340 Without a valid reason, 275 00:12:12,340 --> 00:12:15,340 The fragrance of Paradise is forbidden to her." 276 00:12:15,340 --> 00:12:17,340 Narrated by Ibn Majah. 277 00:12:17,340 --> 00:12:19,340 Therefore, our duty, O servants of Allah, 278 00:12:19,340 --> 00:12:21,840 Is to have taqwa of Allah within ourselves. 279 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,840 Our duty is to uphold marital rights. 280 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,340 And our duty is to adorn ourselves 281 00:12:27,340 --> 00:12:29,840 With patience and deliberation in all matters. 282 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,840 Yes, beautify your lives, O servants of Allah, 283 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,840 With patience, for by Allah, 284 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,840 And by Allah, and by Allah, 285 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,840 The outcome of patience is praiseworthy, 286 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,840 In this world and the Hereafter. 287 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,340 O Allah, make us among the patient. 288 00:12:47,340 --> 00:12:49,340 O Allah, make us among the patient. 289 00:12:49,340 --> 00:12:51,340 Our Lord, grant us 290 00:12:51,340 --> 00:12:53,340 From our spouses and our offspring 291 00:12:53,340 --> 00:12:54,840 Comfort for our eyes, 292 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,340 And make us leaders for the righteous. 293 00:12:57,340 --> 00:12:59,840 O Allah, rectify our wives, 294 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,340 And rectify our intentions, 295 00:13:01,340 --> 00:13:03,340 And rectify our offspring, 296 00:13:03,340 --> 00:13:05,340 And rectify our conditions, 297 00:13:05,340 --> 00:13:08,340 And rectify the conditions of the Muslims everywhere. 298 00:13:08,340 --> 00:13:11,340 O Allah, we ask You for Your pleasure and Paradise, 299 00:13:11,340 --> 00:13:14,340 And we seek refuge in You from Your wrath and the Fire. 300 00:13:14,340 --> 00:13:16,340 O Allah, grant us security in our homelands, 301 00:13:16,340 --> 00:13:19,340 And rectify our leaders and those in authority over us. 302 00:13:19,340 --> 00:13:21,340 O Allah, grant victory to our soldiers on the borders, 303 00:13:21,340 --> 00:13:24,340 And grant victory to our oppressed brothers everywhere, 304 00:13:24,340 --> 00:13:27,340 Above every land and beneath every sky. 305 00:13:27,340 --> 00:13:29,340 O Allah, O Mighty One, 306 00:13:29,340 --> 00:13:32,340 Just as You have gathered us upon this floor, 307 00:13:32,340 --> 00:13:34,340 Gather us beneath Your Throne, 308 00:13:34,340 --> 00:13:36,340 As brothers, loving one another, 309 00:13:36,340 --> 00:13:38,340 Facing one another on thrones of dignity. 310 00:13:38,340 --> 00:13:40,340 O Allah, have mercy on us with Your mercy, 311 00:13:40,340 --> 00:13:42,340 Which encompasses all things. 312 00:13:42,340 --> 00:13:44,340 Our Lord, forgive our fathers, 313 00:13:44,340 --> 00:13:46,340 And our mothers, 314 00:13:46,340 --> 00:13:48,340 And have mercy on them as they raised us when we were small. 315 00:13:48,340 --> 00:13:51,340 My Lord, have mercy on them both as they raised me when I was small. 316 00:13:51,340 --> 00:13:54,340 My Lord, have mercy on them both as they raised me when I was small. 317 00:13:54,340 --> 00:13:56,340 O Allah, we love You, 318 00:13:56,340 --> 00:13:59,340 So do not withhold Your bounty from us because of our sins. 319 00:13:59,340 --> 00:14:00,340 Grant us a good end. 320 00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:03,340 Take our souls while You are pleased with us. 321 00:14:03,340 --> 00:14:05,340 Grant us repentance before death, 322 00:14:05,340 --> 00:14:07,340 The testimony of faith at the time of death, 323 00:14:07,340 --> 00:14:09,340 And Paradise and bliss after death. 324 00:14:09,340 --> 00:14:12,340 O Allah, we have called upon You as You commanded us, 325 00:14:12,340 --> 00:14:14,340 So answer us as You have promised us. 326 00:14:14,340 --> 00:14:17,340 “Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him)” (37:180) 327 00:14:17,340 --> 00:14:19,340 And peace be upon the messengers. 328 00:14:19,340 --> 00:14:21,340 And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
