1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,359
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:03,359 --> 00:00:12,880
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

3
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:20,300
A Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

4
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:25,019
The Quraysh's persecution of those who embraced Islam.

5
00:00:25,019 --> 00:00:31,980
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, continued to call people to Allah the Exalted, night and day.

6
00:00:31,980 --> 00:00:33,979
Both privately and publicly.

7
00:00:33,979 --> 00:00:36,460
Nothing could distract him from this.

8
00:00:36,539 --> 00:00:39,420
No one could turn him back from it.

9
00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:42,460
No one could hinder him from it.

10
00:00:42,460 --> 00:00:46,780
He would follow people in their social gatherings, assemblies, and forums.

11
00:00:46,780 --> 00:00:49,659
And during the pilgrimage seasons and stations of Hajj.

12
00:00:49,659 --> 00:00:56,380
He would call everyone he met, whether free or enslaved, weak or strong, rich or poor.

13
00:00:56,380 --> 00:01:00,619
All of creation was equal in his sight regarding this call.

14
00:01:00,619 --> 00:01:06,060
Yet, the powerful and harsh among the polytheists of Quraysh turned against him and those who followed him from among the common, weak people.

15
00:01:06,060 --> 00:01:12,379
They subjected them to both verbal and physical abuse.

16
00:01:12,379 --> 00:01:14,609
Ibn Ishaq said:

17
00:01:14,609 --> 00:01:21,329
Then, they turned against those who had embraced Islam and followed the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, from among his Companions.

18
00:01:21,329 --> 00:01:26,049
Every tribe rose up against the believers within their own ranks.

19
00:01:26,049 --> 00:01:31,010
They began to imprison them and torture them with beatings, hunger, and thirst.

20
00:01:31,010 --> 00:01:33,969
And by exposing them to the scorching heat of the Meccan desert when the sun was at its peak.

21
00:01:34,049 --> 00:01:38,370
They sought to tempt those among them who were weak away from their religion.

22
00:01:38,370 --> 00:01:42,530
Some were indeed swayed by the intensity of the trials they faced.

23
00:01:42,530 --> 00:01:47,170
Others remained steadfast, and Allah protected them from the polytheists.

24
00:01:47,170 --> 00:01:49,569
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said:

25
00:01:49,569 --> 00:01:54,930
Allah protected His Messenger, peace be upon him, through his uncle Abu Talib.

26
00:01:54,930 --> 00:01:58,530
Because he was a noble and highly respected figure among the Quraysh.

27
00:01:58,530 --> 00:02:00,689
And was obeyed by the people of Mecca.

28
00:02:00,769 --> 00:02:05,329
They did not dare to openly confront him with any harm.

29
00:02:05,329 --> 00:02:10,370
It was among the wisdom of the Wisest of Judges that he remained upon the religion of his people.

30
00:02:10,370 --> 00:02:15,250
Due to the benefits that become apparent to those who contemplate them.

31
00:02:15,250 --> 00:02:18,289
As for his Companions, may Allah be pleased with them:

32
00:02:18,289 --> 00:02:23,009
Whoever had a clan to protect him was shielded by his kin.

33
00:02:23,009 --> 00:02:27,009
But the rest were subjected to harm and torture.

34
00:02:27,090 --> 00:02:31,250
Imam Ahmad and Ibn Majah narrated with a hasan (sound) chain of transmission:

35
00:02:31,250 --> 00:02:35,169
On the authority of Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

36
00:02:35,169 --> 00:02:38,530
The first to openly declare their Islam were seven people:

37
00:02:38,530 --> 00:02:41,810
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

38
00:02:41,810 --> 00:02:46,210
Abu Bakr, Ammar, and his mother Sumayyah.

39
00:02:46,210 --> 00:02:50,210
Suhayb, Bilal, and al-Miqdad.

40
00:02:50,210 --> 00:02:53,729
As for the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

41
00:02:53,729 --> 00:02:56,930
Allah protected him through his uncle Abu Talib.

42
00:02:56,930 --> 00:03:01,009
As for Abu Bakr, Allah protected him through his people.

43
00:03:01,009 --> 00:03:04,770
As for the others, the polytheists seized them.

44
00:03:04,770 --> 00:03:09,490
They dressed them in iron armor and scorched them in the sun.

45
00:03:09,490 --> 00:03:14,530
Every one of them yielded to what the polytheists wanted,

46
00:03:14,530 --> 00:03:19,169
Except for Bilal, for he considered his own life insignificant for the sake of Allah.

47
00:03:19,169 --> 00:03:23,889
And he was considered insignificant by his people, so they took him and handed him over to the children.

48
00:03:23,969 --> 00:03:27,409
They began to drag him through the mountain passes of Mecca.

49
00:03:27,409 --> 00:03:31,009
While he kept saying, "One, One!" (referring to Allah).

50
00:03:31,009 --> 00:03:33,969
Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih:

51
00:03:33,969 --> 00:03:37,490
On the authority of Sa'id Ibn Zayd, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

52
00:03:37,490 --> 00:03:42,449
By Allah, I have seen myself being bound by Umar for the sake of Islam,

53
00:03:42,449 --> 00:03:44,780
Before Umar himself embraced Islam.

54
00:03:44,780 --> 00:03:48,939
Imam al-Tirmidhi narrated in his Jami' with a sahih (authentic) chain:

55
00:03:48,939 --> 00:03:51,819
On the authority of Harithah Ibn Mudhrib, who said:

56
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:54,780
I visited Khabbab, may Allah be pleased with him,

57
00:03:54,780 --> 00:03:57,099
And he had been cauterized on his stomach.

58
00:03:57,099 --> 00:04:02,539
He said, "I do not know anyone among the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him,

59
00:04:02,539 --> 00:04:05,340
Who faced as much trial as I did.

60
00:04:05,340 --> 00:04:12,139
There was a time when I did not even possess a single dirham during the era of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him."

61
00:04:12,139 --> 00:04:14,300
Al-Hakim narrated in al-Mustadrak,

62
00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:17,579
With a hasan chain through its various paths and supporting narrations,

63
00:04:17,579 --> 00:04:21,579
On the authority of Abu Ubaydah Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ammar Ibn Yasir,

64
00:04:21,579 --> 00:04:23,420
From his father, who said:

65
00:04:23,420 --> 00:04:26,540
The polytheists seized Ammar Ibn Yasir.

66
00:04:26,540 --> 00:04:31,180
They did not let him go until he insulted the Prophet, peace be upon him,

67
00:04:31,180 --> 00:04:33,819
And spoke well of their idols.

68
00:04:33,819 --> 00:04:35,579
Then they released him.

69
00:04:35,579 --> 00:04:39,579
When he came to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

70
00:04:39,579 --> 00:04:42,220
He asked, "What is behind you?" (What happened?)

71
00:04:42,220 --> 00:04:45,180
He replied, "Evil, O Messenger of Allah.

72
00:04:45,180 --> 00:04:47,579
They did not let me go until I insulted you,

73
00:04:47,579 --> 00:04:50,379
And spoke well of their idols."

74
00:04:50,379 --> 00:04:53,420
He asked, "How do you find your heart?"

75
00:04:53,420 --> 00:04:56,220
He replied, "Tranquil with faith."

76
00:04:56,220 --> 00:04:59,740
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,

77
00:04:59,740 --> 00:05:01,819
"If they return, then you return (to what you said)."

78
00:05:01,819 --> 00:05:06,620
And regarding Ammar Ibn Yasir, may Allah be pleased with him, the following verse was revealed:

79
00:05:06,620 --> 00:05:11,259
“Whoso disbelieveth in Allah after his belief - save him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith - but whoso findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom.” (16:106)

80
00:05:11,259 --> 00:05:15,100
"Except for one who is forced [to renounce his faith]

81
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:21,259
While his heart is tranquil with faith."

82
00:05:21,259 --> 00:05:25,819
“Whoso disbelieveth in Allah after his belief - save him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith - but whoso findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom.” (16:106)

83
00:05:25,819 --> 00:05:31,100
“Whoso disbelieveth in Allah after his belief - save him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith - but whoso findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom.” (16:106)

84
00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:34,779
"And for them is a great punishment."

85
00:05:34,779 --> 00:05:36,860
Al-Hafiz said in al-Fath:

86
00:05:36,860 --> 00:05:39,500
It is well-known that the aforementioned verse

87
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:43,490
Was revealed concerning Ammar Ibn Yasir, may Allah be pleased with him.

88
00:05:43,569 --> 00:05:45,810
Al-Hafiz Ibn Rajab said:

89
00:05:45,810 --> 00:05:48,050
As for being coerced into speech,

90
00:05:48,050 --> 00:05:50,689
The scholars are in agreement regarding its validity (in such a state).

91
00:05:50,689 --> 00:05:53,170
And that whoever is forced to utter a forbidden statement,

92
00:05:53,170 --> 00:05:55,089
Under recognized coercion,

93
00:05:55,089 --> 00:05:57,649
It is permissible for him to ransom his life with it.

94
00:05:57,649 --> 00:05:59,329
And there is no sin upon him.

95
00:05:59,329 --> 00:06:02,290
This is indicated by the words of Allah the Exalted:

96
00:06:02,290 --> 00:06:07,410
“Whoso disbelieveth in Allah after his belief - save him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith - but whoso findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom.” (16:106)

97
00:06:07,410 --> 00:06:10,050
And the Prophet, peace be upon him, said

98
00:06:10,050 --> 00:06:12,370
To Ammar, may Allah be pleased with him:

99
00:06:12,370 --> 00:06:14,290
"If they return, then you return."

100
00:06:14,290 --> 00:06:16,529
The polytheists had tortured him

101
00:06:16,529 --> 00:06:20,610
Until he agreed with them on what they wanted of disbelief.

102
00:06:20,610 --> 00:06:21,569
So he did so.

103
00:06:23,069 --> 00:06:28,319
A Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

104
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:33,180
Authored by Sheikh Musa bin Rashid al-Azimi.

105
00:06:33,180 --> 00:06:36,939
Presented by the Mawaddah Association.

106
00:06:36,939 --> 00:06:39,180
In the Kingdom of Bahrain.

107
00:06:44,209 --> 00:06:46,980
By some of them:

108
00:06:46,980 --> 00:06:53,899
The longing for you has no bounds.

109
00:06:53,899 --> 00:07:00,639
May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised.

110
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:05,920
And as long as you move with the remnants of the righteous.
