WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.399
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:06.889
Treasures of the Prophetic biography.

00:00:06.889 --> 00:00:14.300
His modesty, peace be upon him.

00:00:14.300 --> 00:00:20.839
On the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:24.469
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:00:24.469 --> 00:00:28.269
was more modest than a virgin in her private quarters.

00:00:28.269 --> 00:00:32.469
Whenever he disliked something, we would recognize it on his face.

00:00:33.170 --> 00:00:36.369
On the authority of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:

00:00:36.369 --> 00:00:38.969
The Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:00:38.969 --> 00:00:41.770
whenever he heard something about a man,

00:00:41.770 --> 00:00:44.969
would not say, "What is the matter with so-and-so that he says such things?"

00:00:44.969 --> 00:00:46.770
Rather, he would say,

00:00:46.770 --> 00:00:49.969
"What is the matter with some people who say such and such?"

00:00:49.969 --> 00:00:53.460
He would forbid the act without naming the person.

00:00:53.460 --> 00:00:55.460
'A'ishah also said:

00:00:55.460 --> 00:00:58.259
The Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:00:58.259 --> 00:01:01.259
was neither indecent nor prone to indecency,

00:01:01.259 --> 00:01:03.859
nor was he loud in the marketplaces,

00:01:03.859 --> 00:01:06.859
nor did he repay evil with evil.

00:01:06.859 --> 00:01:09.260
Instead, he would pardon and overlook.

00:01:23.019 --> 00:01:26.019
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both:

00:01:26.019 --> 00:01:29.219
'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said:

00:01:29.219 --> 00:01:33.420
I entered upon the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:01:33.420 --> 00:01:36.620
and found him lying on a reed mat.

00:01:36.620 --> 00:01:39.620
He pulled his lower garment up and sat down,

00:01:39.620 --> 00:01:42.819
and the marks of the mat were visible on his side.

00:01:42.819 --> 00:01:48.219
I cast my eyes around the storage area of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:01:48.219 --> 00:01:51.420
and found nothing of worldly value in it

00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:54.019
except for two handfuls of barley,

00:01:54.019 --> 00:01:55.819
and a handful of acacia leaves,

00:01:55.819 --> 00:01:57.819
totaling about two sa' measures.

00:01:57.819 --> 00:01:59.819
My eyes welled up with tears.

00:01:59.819 --> 00:02:03.620
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, asked,

00:02:03.620 --> 00:02:06.219
"What makes you weep, O Ibn al-Khattab?"

00:02:06.219 --> 00:02:08.419
I replied, "O Messenger of Allah,

00:02:08.419 --> 00:02:10.419
how could I not weep,

00:02:10.419 --> 00:02:14.020
when you are the chosen one of Allah, His Messenger, and His select creation,

00:02:14.020 --> 00:02:16.219
yet this is your storehouse,

00:02:16.219 --> 00:02:19.419
while Chosroes and Caesar live amidst fruits and rivers?

00:02:19.419 --> 00:02:21.419
And you are in this state?"

00:02:21.419 --> 00:02:23.620
He said, "O Ibn al-Khattab,

00:02:23.620 --> 00:02:26.419
are you not pleased that the Hereafter is for us,

00:02:26.419 --> 00:02:28.419
and the worldly life is for them?"

00:02:28.419 --> 00:02:31.020
I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah."

00:02:31.020 --> 00:02:33.819
He said, "Then praise be to Allah."

00:02:33.819 --> 00:02:37.050
On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:02:37.050 --> 00:02:40.050
I entered upon the Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:02:40.050 --> 00:02:43.449
while he was on a bed woven with strips of palm fiber,

00:02:43.449 --> 00:02:47.250
and under his head was a pillow stuffed with palm fiber.

00:02:47.250 --> 00:02:49.849
Some of his Companions entered upon him,

00:02:49.849 --> 00:02:51.449
among them 'Umar.

00:02:51.449 --> 00:02:54.250
The Prophet, peace be upon him, shifted

00:02:54.250 --> 00:02:55.849
his position,

00:02:55.849 --> 00:02:57.650
and 'Umar saw the marks of the strips

00:02:57.650 --> 00:03:00.650
on the Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:03:00.650 --> 00:03:02.050
and he wept.

00:03:02.050 --> 00:03:05.250
The Prophet, peace be upon him, asked,

00:03:05.250 --> 00:03:06.849
"What makes you weep?"

00:03:06.849 --> 00:03:08.050
He replied,

00:03:08.050 --> 00:03:09.849
"Chosroes and Caesar

00:03:09.849 --> 00:03:12.650
are indulging in what they indulge in,

00:03:12.650 --> 00:03:15.050
while you are on this bed."

00:03:15.050 --> 00:03:16.449
He said,

00:03:16.449 --> 00:03:19.050
"Are you not pleased that the worldly life is for them,

00:03:19.050 --> 00:03:20.849
and the Hereafter is for us?"

00:03:20.849 --> 00:03:22.449
He said, "Yes."

00:03:22.449 --> 00:03:23.449
He said,

00:03:23.449 --> 00:03:25.710
"It is indeed so."

00:03:25.710 --> 00:03:29.710
On the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:03:29.710 --> 00:03:32.710
The Prophet, peace be upon him, lay down

00:03:32.710 --> 00:03:34.110
on a reed mat,

00:03:34.110 --> 00:03:35.909
and it left marks on his skin.

00:03:35.909 --> 00:03:39.110
I began to wipe them away, saying,

00:03:39.110 --> 00:03:40.909
"May my father and mother be sacrificed for you,

00:03:40.909 --> 00:03:43.939
why did you not inform us so we could spread something for you?"

00:03:43.939 --> 00:03:45.139
He said,

00:03:45.139 --> 00:03:47.340
"What have I to do with the world?

00:03:47.340 --> 00:03:49.939
My state in this world is only that of a traveler

00:03:49.939 --> 00:03:52.139
who seeks shade under a tree,

00:03:52.139 --> 00:03:54.900
then moves on and leaves it."

00:03:54.900 --> 00:03:57.900
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him:

00:03:57.900 --> 00:04:02.099
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:

00:04:02.099 --> 00:04:05.099
"If I had gold equal to Mount Uhud,

00:04:05.099 --> 00:04:08.699
it would not please me that three nights should pass

00:04:08.699 --> 00:04:10.699
while I still had any of it,

00:04:10.699 --> 00:04:14.000
except for what I set aside for a debt."

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.600
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:21.399
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:

00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:25.800
"O Allah, make the provision of the family of Muhammad only enough to sustain them."

00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:29.199
On the authority of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:

00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.600
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, never ate his fill

00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.399
of wheat bread for three consecutive days

00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:39.100
until he passed away.

00:04:39.100 --> 00:04:41.100
On the authority of 'Urwah Ibn al-Zubayr,

00:04:41.100 --> 00:04:44.500
from 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:

00:04:44.500 --> 00:04:46.899
We would look at the new moon,

00:04:46.899 --> 00:04:48.300
then the next,

00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:49.699
then the next,

00:04:49.699 --> 00:04:52.699
three new moons in two months,

00:04:52.699 --> 00:04:58.360
and no fire was lit in the houses of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

00:04:58.360 --> 00:04:59.959
'Urwah asked,

00:04:59.959 --> 00:05:01.959
"Then what was your food?"

00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:03.160
She replied,

00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:04.560
"The two black things:

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.560
dates and water.

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:10.560
Except that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, had

00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.759
neighbors from the Ansar,

00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:14.959
who had milch camels,

00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:19.360
and they would send to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:20.959
some of their milk,

00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:22.720
and we would drink it."

00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:24.120
She also said,

00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.519
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, never ate his fill

00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.920
of barley bread for two consecutive days

00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:32.779
until he was taken by Allah."

00:05:32.779 --> 00:05:34.180
And she said,

00:05:34.180 --> 00:05:37.779
"The mattress of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:05:37.779 --> 00:05:40.839
was made of leather stuffed with palm fiber."

00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:45.639
This was the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, in his asceticism.

00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.639
And what can we say about our own lives?

00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.040
What we eat,

00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:51.439
what we drink,

00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:52.839
what we wear,

00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.839
and what we sleep upon.

00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:56.639
We can only say:

00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:58.639
Allah is the One whose help is sought.

00:05:59.500 --> 00:06:05.269
Treasures of the Seerah.

00:06:05.269 --> 00:06:12.019
His humor, peace be upon him.

00:06:12.019 --> 00:06:15.019
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:06:15.019 --> 00:06:17.620
that it was said, "O Messenger of Allah,

00:06:17.620 --> 00:06:19.860
you joke with us."

00:06:19.860 --> 00:06:21.060
He said,

00:06:21.060 --> 00:06:24.259
"I say nothing but the truth."

00:06:24.259 --> 00:06:27.259
On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:06:27.259 --> 00:06:32.459
A Bedouin asked the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, for a mount.

00:06:32.459 --> 00:06:35.860
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said,

00:06:35.860 --> 00:06:39.060
"I will give you the offspring of a she-camel to ride."

00:06:39.060 --> 00:06:41.060
The Bedouin said,

00:06:41.060 --> 00:06:44.660
"What would I do with the offspring of a she-camel, O Messenger of Allah?"

00:06:44.660 --> 00:06:46.060
He replied,

00:06:46.060 --> 00:06:49.149
"Do camels give birth to anything other than she-camels?"

00:06:49.149 --> 00:06:53.149
The Bedouin had thought he would give him a young camel,

00:06:53.149 --> 00:06:55.439
a small calf.

00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:58.740
On the authority of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:

00:06:58.740 --> 00:07:01.740
The Prophet, peace be upon him, raced with me,

00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:04.339
and I beat him, by the will of Allah.

00:07:04.339 --> 00:07:06.740
But later, when I had gained weight,

00:07:06.740 --> 00:07:09.139
he raced me and beat me.

00:07:09.139 --> 00:07:10.339
He then said,

00:07:10.339 --> 00:07:12.360
"This is for that."

00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.959
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.959
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.759
would stick out his tongue for al-Husayn,

00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:26.060
and when the child saw the redness of his tongue, he would become delighted.

00:07:26.060 --> 00:07:29.060
'Uyaynah Ibn Badr said to him,

00:07:29.060 --> 00:07:31.660
"I see you doing this!

00:07:31.660 --> 00:07:34.259
By Allah, I have children,

00:07:34.259 --> 00:07:35.860
and they have reached adulthood,

00:07:35.860 --> 00:07:38.250
yet I have never kissed one of them."

00:07:38.250 --> 00:07:41.649
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said,

00:07:41.649 --> 00:07:44.610
"He who does not show mercy will not be shown mercy."

00:07:44.610 --> 00:07:47.810
On the authority of Umm Salamah, may Allah be pleased with her,

00:07:47.810 --> 00:07:50.410
that Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:07:50.410 --> 00:07:52.410
went out as a merchant to Busra

00:07:52.410 --> 00:07:55.410
a year or two

00:07:55.410 --> 00:07:57.610
before the death of the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:07:57.610 --> 00:07:59.610
With him were Nu'ayman

00:07:59.610 --> 00:08:01.610
and Suwaybit ibn Harmalah,

00:08:01.610 --> 00:08:03.810
both of whom were veterans of Badr.

00:08:03.810 --> 00:08:06.810
Suwaybit was in charge of their provisions.

00:08:06.810 --> 00:08:09.209
Nu'ayman came and said,

00:08:09.209 --> 00:08:10.610
"Feed me."

00:08:10.610 --> 00:08:12.009
He replied, "No,

00:08:12.009 --> 00:08:14.410
not until Abu Bakr returns."

00:08:14.410 --> 00:08:17.610
Nu'ayman, who was a joker, said,

00:08:17.610 --> 00:08:19.410
"I will play a trick on you."

00:08:19.410 --> 00:08:22.209
He went to some people and said to them,

00:08:22.209 --> 00:08:24.610
"Will you buy a slave from me?

00:08:24.610 --> 00:08:27.209
He is a man with a sharp tongue,

00:08:27.209 --> 00:08:28.810
and he might say,

00:08:28.810 --> 00:08:30.209
'I am free.'

00:08:30.209 --> 00:08:33.610
If you are going to let him go when he says that,

00:08:33.610 --> 00:08:37.210
then leave me alone and do not spoil my slave for me."

00:08:37.210 --> 00:08:38.409
They said, "No,

00:08:38.409 --> 00:08:40.210
we will buy him."

00:08:40.210 --> 00:08:43.009
So he sold him for ten young she-camels.

00:08:43.009 --> 00:08:45.009
Then he went to them and said,

00:08:45.009 --> 00:08:46.409
"There he is."

00:08:46.409 --> 00:08:48.009
Suwaybit said,

00:08:48.009 --> 00:08:49.409
"He is lying.

00:08:49.409 --> 00:08:51.409
I am a free man."

00:08:51.409 --> 00:08:52.409
They said,

00:08:52.409 --> 00:08:54.610
"We have already been told about you."

00:08:54.610 --> 00:08:58.409
They threw a rope around him, tied him up, and took him away.

00:08:58.409 --> 00:09:01.009
Abu Bakr came, and they informed him.

00:09:01.009 --> 00:09:03.210
He went with some of his companions,

00:09:03.210 --> 00:09:06.809
returned the she-camels, and took Suwaybit back.

00:09:06.809 --> 00:09:10.700
The Prophet, peace be upon him, laughed at this.

00:09:10.700 --> 00:09:13.700
Narrated Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:09:13.700 --> 00:09:15.899
A man from the desert,

00:09:15.899 --> 00:09:17.899
whose name was Zahir,

00:09:17.899 --> 00:09:21.100
used to bring the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:09:21.100 --> 00:09:23.500
gifts from the desert.

00:09:23.500 --> 00:09:27.100
The Prophet, peace be upon him, would provide him with supplies in return,

00:09:27.100 --> 00:09:28.500
and he would say:

00:09:28.500 --> 00:09:31.100
"Zahir is our desert dweller,

00:09:31.100 --> 00:09:33.100
and we are his city dwellers."

00:09:33.100 --> 00:09:35.700
This man was not physically handsome.

00:09:35.700 --> 00:09:39.100
One day, the Prophet, peace be upon him, came upon him

00:09:39.100 --> 00:09:41.299
while he was selling his goods,

00:09:41.299 --> 00:09:43.100
and he embraced him from behind

00:09:43.100 --> 00:09:44.700
while he could not see him.

00:09:44.700 --> 00:09:45.899
He said:

00:09:45.899 --> 00:09:46.899
"Let me go!

00:09:47.100 --> 00:09:48.500
Who is this?"

00:09:48.500 --> 00:09:52.500
He turned around and recognized the Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:56.299
The Prophet, peace be upon him, began to say:

00:09:56.299 --> 00:09:58.299
"Who will buy this slave?"

00:09:58.299 --> 00:10:00.299
He replied, "O Messenger of Allah,

00:10:00.299 --> 00:10:03.500
by Allah, you will find me unsellable [of little value]."

00:10:03.500 --> 00:10:04.500
He said:

00:10:04.500 --> 00:10:08.100
"But in the sight of Allah, you are not unsellable."

00:10:08.100 --> 00:10:09.500
Or he said:

00:10:09.500 --> 00:10:12.740
"Rather, in the sight of Allah, you are precious."

00:10:12.740 --> 00:10:15.940
Narrated Jarir, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

00:10:15.940 --> 00:10:19.139
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, never denied me entry

00:10:19.139 --> 00:10:20.539
since I embraced Islam,

00:10:20.539 --> 00:10:23.769
and he never saw me without smiling."

00:10:23.769 --> 00:10:27.169
This was the humor of the Prophet, peace be upon him,

00:10:27.169 --> 00:10:29.769
and it does not contradict the prophethood and the majesty

00:10:29.769 --> 00:10:33.860
that he, peace be upon him, possessed.

00:10:33.860 --> 00:10:39.669
Treasures of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

00:10:39.669 --> 00:10:46.750
The speech of the Prophet, peace be upon him:

00:10:46.750 --> 00:10:48.950
He was the most eloquent of all Allah’s creation,

00:10:48.950 --> 00:10:50.950
the most pleasant in speech,

00:10:50.950 --> 00:10:52.950
the quickest in delivery,

00:10:52.950 --> 00:10:54.950
and the sweetest in expression.

00:10:54.950 --> 00:10:58.950
Indeed, his words would capture the hearts completely

00:10:58.950 --> 00:11:01.049
and captivate the souls.

00:11:01.049 --> 00:11:04.049
‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:

00:11:04.049 --> 00:11:07.049
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:11:07.049 --> 00:11:10.049
did not speak rapidly as you do.

00:11:10.049 --> 00:11:14.049
Rather, he spoke with clear, distinct words,

00:11:14.049 --> 00:11:17.049
which anyone sitting with him could memorize."

00:11:17.049 --> 00:11:20.049
He would often repeat his words three times

00:11:20.049 --> 00:11:22.049
so that they would be understood from him.

00:11:22.049 --> 00:11:25.049
When he greeted, he would greet three times.

00:11:25.049 --> 00:11:27.049
He was long in his silence;

00:11:27.049 --> 00:11:30.049
he would not speak unless there was a need.

00:11:30.049 --> 00:11:33.049
He spoke with concise, comprehensive speech.

00:11:33.049 --> 00:11:36.049
He would not speak about what did not concern him,

00:11:36.049 --> 00:11:40.110
and he would not speak except when he hoped for its reward.

00:11:40.110 --> 00:11:44.110
If he disliked something, it would be known on his face.

00:11:44.110 --> 00:11:47.110
He was neither foul-mouthed nor prone to obscenity,

00:11:47.110 --> 00:11:50.139
nor was he loud in the marketplaces.

00:11:50.139 --> 00:11:53.139
Most of his laughter was smiling,

00:11:53.139 --> 00:11:55.139
or rather, it was all smiling.

00:11:55.139 --> 00:11:59.139
The extent of his laughter was that his molars would appear.

00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:15.519
His weeping was of the same nature as his laughter;

00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.519
it was not with sobbing or raising his voice.

00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.519
Rather, his eyes would shed tears until they flowed,

00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:25.519
and a sound like a boiling pot would be heard from his chest.

00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:29.580
His weeping was sometimes out of mercy for the deceased,

00:12:29.580 --> 00:12:34.580
sometimes out of fear for his Ummah and compassion for them,

00:12:34.580 --> 00:12:37.580
sometimes out of the fear of Allah,

00:12:37.580 --> 00:12:40.649
and sometimes upon hearing the Qur’an.

00:12:40.649 --> 00:12:43.649
When his son Ibrahim died,

00:12:43.649 --> 00:12:47.649
his eyes shed tears and he wept, peace be upon him.

00:12:47.649 --> 00:12:52.710
He wept when he saw one of his daughters as her soul was departing.

00:12:52.710 --> 00:12:56.710
He wept when ‘Abdullah Ibn Mas‘ud recited to him

00:12:56.710 --> 00:12:58.710
Surah al-Nisa’.

00:12:58.710 --> 00:13:01.710
He performed the prayer of fear and wept.

00:13:01.710 --> 00:13:07.429
Treasures of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

00:13:07.429 --> 00:13:11.429
His description, peace be upon him,

00:13:11.429 --> 00:13:16.700
in the Torah and the Gospel.

00:13:16.700 --> 00:13:18.700
Allah, Blessed and Exalted be He, said:

00:13:18.700 --> 00:13:21.700
﴾And when ‘Isa Ibn Maryam said,

00:13:21.700 --> 00:13:24.700
"O Children of Israel,

00:13:24.700 --> 00:13:29.700
“And when Jesus son of Mary said: O Children of Israel! Lo! I am the messenger of Allah unto you, confirming that which was (revealed) before me in the Torah, and bringing good tidings of a messenger who cometh after me, whose name is the Praised One. Yet when he hath come unto them with clear proofs, they say: This is mere magic.” (61:6)

00:13:29.700 --> 00:13:33.700
confirming what came before me of the Torah

00:13:33.700 --> 00:13:40.700
and bringing good tidings of a messenger

00:13:40.700 --> 00:13:44.700
who will come after me, whose name is Ahmad."﴿

00:13:44.700 --> 00:13:48.700
But when he came to them with clear proofs,

00:13:48.700 --> 00:13:52.700
they said, "This is obvious magic."

00:13:52.700 --> 00:13:54.830
And He, the Exalted in His mention, said:

00:13:54.830 --> 00:13:59.830
“Those who follow the messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write, whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel (which are) with them. He will enjoin on them that which is right and forbid them that which is wrong. He will make lawful for them all good things and prohibit for them only the foul; and he will relieve them of their burden and the fetters that they used to wear. Then those who believe in him, and honour him, and help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him: they are the successful.” (7:157)

00:13:59.830 --> 00:14:08.830
“Those who follow the messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write, whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel (which are) with them. He will enjoin on them that which is right and forbid them that which is wrong. He will make lawful for them all good things and prohibit for them only the foul; and he will relieve them of their burden and the fetters that they used to wear. Then those who believe in him, and honour him, and help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him: they are the successful.” (7:157)

00:14:08.830 --> 00:14:11.830
in the Torah and the Gospel,

00:14:11.830 --> 00:14:16.830
he enjoins upon them what is right

00:14:16.830 --> 00:14:19.830
and forbids them what is wrong.

00:14:19.830 --> 00:14:22.960
Despite the distortion, alteration, and change,

00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:27.960
we still find the description and name of our Messenger Muhammad, peace be upon him,

00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:30.960
in the Torah and the Gospel.

00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:34.570
His descriptions in the Gospel:

00:14:34.570 --> 00:14:36.570
The Gospel of Matthew.

00:14:36.570 --> 00:14:38.570
In the Gospel of Matthew,

00:14:38.570 --> 00:14:41.570
in the fifteenth chapter,

00:14:41.570 --> 00:14:43.570
there is evidence that ‘Isa

00:14:43.570 --> 00:14:46.570
was sent specifically to the Children of Israel.

00:14:46.570 --> 00:14:52.629
He said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

00:14:52.629 --> 00:14:54.700
And in the eleventh chapter,

00:14:54.700 --> 00:14:57.700
‘Isa, peace be upon him, said:

00:14:57.700 --> 00:15:00.700
"For all the prophets and the law

00:15:00.700 --> 00:15:03.700
prophesied until John.

00:15:03.700 --> 00:15:05.700
And if you are willing to accept it,

00:15:05.700 --> 00:15:08.700
this is Elijah who is to come.

00:15:08.700 --> 00:15:12.700
He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

00:15:12.700 --> 00:15:16.759
And Elijah is Ahmad, peace be upon him.

00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:19.759
We knew this through the letters of

00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:21.759
Abjad Hawwaz.

00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:23.759
Because Abjad Hawwaz

00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:26.759
are letters that indicate numbers.

00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:28.759
Abjad Hawwaz,

00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:30.759
Hutti Kalim,

00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:32.759
Sa‘fas Qurasht,

00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:34.759
Thakhudh Badhi.

00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:36.759
The Alif is one,

00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:38.759
the Ba’ is two,

00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:40.759
the Jim is three,

00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:42.759
the Dal is four,

00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:44.759
the Ha’ is five,

00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:46.759
the Waw is six,

00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:48.759
the Zay is seven,

00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:50.759
the Ha’ is eight,

00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:52.759
the Ta’ is nine,

00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:54.759
the Ya’ is ten,

00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:56.759
the Kaf is twenty,

00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:58.759
the Lam is thirty,

00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:00.759
the Mim is forty,

00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:02.759
the Nun is fifty,

00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:04.759
the Sin is sixty,

00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:06.759
the ‘Ayn is seventy,

00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:08.759
the Fa’ is eighty,

00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:10.759
the Dad is 90,

00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:12.759
the Qaf is 100,

00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:14.759
the Ra’ is 200,

00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:16.759
the Shin is 300,

00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:18.759
the Ta’ is 400,

00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:20.759
the Tha’ is 500,

00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:22.759
the Kha’ is 600,

00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:24.759
the Dhal is 700,

00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:26.759
the Dad is 800,

00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:28.759
the Dha’ is 900,

00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:30.759
the Ghayn is 1000.

00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.759
So Elijah, according to the calculation of Abjad Hawwaz:

00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:36.759
Alif is 1,

00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:38.759
Ya’ is 10,

00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:40.759
Lam is 30,

00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:42.759
Ya’ is 10,

00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:44.759
Alif is 1,

00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:46.759
equals 53.

00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:48.759
And Ahmad:

00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:50.759
Alif is 1,

00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:52.759
Ha’ is 8,

00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:54.759
Mim is 40,

00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:56.759
Dal is 4,

00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:58.889
equals 53.

00:16:58.889 --> 00:17:00.889
The Gospel of John,

00:17:00.889 --> 00:17:02.950
in the fourteenth chapter,

00:17:02.950 --> 00:17:04.950
‘Isa said:

00:17:04.950 --> 00:17:06.950
"If you love me,

00:17:06.950 --> 00:17:08.950
keep my commandments.

00:17:08.950 --> 00:17:10.950
And I will ask the Father,

00:17:10.950 --> 00:17:12.950
and He will give you

00:17:12.950 --> 00:17:14.950
another Comforter,

00:17:14.950 --> 00:17:16.950
to remain with you forever."

00:17:16.950 --> 00:17:19.240
He is the Spirit of Truth.

00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:21.240
The word "Comforter" is a definition,

00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:23.240
and if you wish, you may say

00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:25.240
it is a distortion of the word

00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:27.240
"Paracletos,"

00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:29.240
which is a Greek word

00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:31.240
meaning "the much-praised,"

00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:33.240
that is, Muhammad.

00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:35.240
We had mentioned this

00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:37.240
previously

00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:39.240
in the story of

00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:41.240
‘Abdullah the Majorcan,

00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.240
in the story of the delegation of Najran,

00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:45.240
in the Year of Delegations,

00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:47.240
the ninth year of the Hijrah.

00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:49.339
His descriptions

00:17:49.339 --> 00:17:51.529
in the Torah:

00:17:51.529 --> 00:17:53.529
It came in the Torah,

00:17:53.529 --> 00:17:55.529
in the Book of Isaiah,

00:17:55.529 --> 00:17:57.529
the forty-second chapter:

00:17:57.529 --> 00:17:59.529
"Behold, My servant

00:17:59.529 --> 00:18:01.529
whom I uphold,

00:18:01.529 --> 00:18:03.529
in whom My soul delights.

00:18:03.529 --> 00:18:05.529
I have put My spirit upon him;

00:18:05.529 --> 00:18:07.529
he will bring forth justice to the nations.

00:18:07.529 --> 00:18:09.529
He will not cry out, nor raise [his voice],

00:18:09.529 --> 00:18:11.529
nor will he be heard in the street,

00:18:11.529 --> 00:18:13.529
his voice.

00:18:13.529 --> 00:18:15.529
He will not fail nor be discouraged

00:18:15.529 --> 00:18:17.529
until he establishes justice in the earth,

00:18:17.529 --> 00:18:19.529
and the islands shall wait for

00:18:19.529 --> 00:18:21.529
his law."

00:18:21.529 --> 00:18:23.529
Naturally, this is not ‘Isa,

00:18:23.529 --> 00:18:25.529
For he did not have

00:18:25.529 --> 00:18:27.529
a distinct law,

00:18:27.529 --> 00:18:29.529
but rather he was a completer

00:18:29.529 --> 00:18:31.529
of the mission of Musa, peace be upon him.

00:18:31.529 --> 00:18:33.529
As for the statement,

00:18:33.529 --> 00:18:35.529
"He does not shout, nor does he make himself heard in the street,"

00:18:35.529 --> 00:18:37.529
regarding his voice,

00:18:37.529 --> 00:18:39.529
this confirms the statement of 'A'ishah,

00:18:39.529 --> 00:18:41.529
may Allah be pleased with her,

00:18:41.529 --> 00:18:43.529
"The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was not indecent,

00:18:43.529 --> 00:18:45.529
nor did he act indecently,

00:18:45.529 --> 00:18:47.529
nor was he a loud shouter in the marketplaces,

00:18:47.529 --> 00:18:49.529
nor did he repay evil with evil."

00:18:49.529 --> 00:18:51.660
The Book of Deuteronomy,

00:18:51.660 --> 00:18:53.690
in chapter

00:18:53.690 --> 00:18:55.690
thirty-three,

00:18:55.690 --> 00:18:57.690
says of Musa:

00:18:57.690 --> 00:18:59.690
"The Lord came from Sinai,"

00:18:59.690 --> 00:19:01.690
the land of Musa,

00:19:01.690 --> 00:19:03.690
"and dawned from Seir,"

00:19:03.690 --> 00:19:05.690
the homeland of 'Isa,

00:19:05.690 --> 00:19:07.690
"and shone forth from Mount Paran,"

00:19:07.690 --> 00:19:09.690
which is Makkah.

00:19:09.690 --> 00:19:11.690
This is similar to the statement of Allah the Exalted:

00:19:11.690 --> 00:19:13.690
﴾By the fig and the olive,

00:19:13.690 --> 00:19:15.690
and Mount Sinai,

00:19:17.690 --> 00:19:19.690
and this secure city [Makkah]﴿.

00:19:19.690 --> 00:19:21.720
The fig and the olive

00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:23.720
are the land of 'Isa,

00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:25.720
Palestine;

00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:27.720
and Mount Sinai

00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:29.720
is the land of Musa, Egypt;

00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:31.720
and the secure city

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:33.720
is the city of Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:35.720
Makkah.

00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:37.720
Indeed, Paran

00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:39.720
is the place where Isma'il dwelt,

00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:41.720
peace be upon him.

00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:43.720
This is in chapter twenty-one,

00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:45.720
and Isma'il

00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:47.720
indeed dwelt in Makkah.

00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:49.720
It says,

00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:51.720
"Let the wilderness and its cities lift up

00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:53.720
their voice,"

00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:55.720
"like Kedar,"

00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:57.720
who is the son of Isma'il, peace be upon him.

00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:59.720
This is in chapter

00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:01.720
twenty-five.

00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:03.720
It says,

00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:05.720
"Let the inhabitants of Sela' sing,"

00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:07.720
which is a mountain in Madinah,

00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:09.720
the mountains of Sal'.

00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:11.720
From the mountain peaks.

00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:13.720
In the story of the conversion of

00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:15.720
Salman al-Farisi,

00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:17.720
he said of himself

00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:19.720
that he had traveled in search of the truth

00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:21.720
to Syria, then to Mosul,

00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:23.720
then to Nasibin,

00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:25.720
then to 'Ammuriyah.

00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:27.779
When the bishop there

00:20:27.779 --> 00:20:29.779
was dying,

00:20:29.779 --> 00:20:31.779
Salman asked him,

00:20:31.779 --> 00:20:33.779
"To where?"

00:20:33.779 --> 00:20:35.779
Meaning, "To whom should I go?"

00:20:35.779 --> 00:20:37.779
He said, "O my son,

00:20:37.779 --> 00:20:39.779
by Allah, I do not know of anyone left

00:20:39.779 --> 00:20:41.779
who is upon what we were

00:20:41.779 --> 00:20:43.779
upon, whom I could command you to go to.

00:20:43.779 --> 00:20:45.779
However, the time has drawn near

00:20:45.779 --> 00:20:47.779
for a Prophet to be sent in the Sacred Land,

00:20:47.779 --> 00:20:49.779
who will migrate between

00:20:49.779 --> 00:20:51.779
two lava fields to a land

00:20:51.779 --> 00:20:53.779
of salt flats and palm trees.

00:20:53.779 --> 00:20:55.779
He has signs

00:20:55.779 --> 00:20:57.779
that are not hidden: between

00:20:57.779 --> 00:20:59.779
his shoulders is the seal of prophethood.

00:20:59.779 --> 00:21:01.779
He eats of the gift, but

00:21:01.779 --> 00:21:03.779
he does not eat of the charity.

00:21:03.779 --> 00:21:05.779
So if you are able to reach

00:21:05.779 --> 00:21:07.779
that land, then do so."

00:21:07.779 --> 00:21:09.779
Indeed, the time for him

00:21:09.779 --> 00:21:11.779
has drawn near. And that was

00:21:11.779 --> 00:21:13.779
the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:21:13.779 --> 00:21:15.910
This

00:21:15.910 --> 00:21:17.910
is the master of humanity,

00:21:17.910 --> 00:21:19.910
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:21:19.910 --> 00:21:21.910
and the intimate friend of the Most Merciful,

00:21:21.910 --> 00:21:23.910
the Glorious and Exalted.

00:21:23.910 --> 00:21:25.910
We ask Allah, the Blessed and Exalted,

00:21:25.910 --> 00:21:27.910
to gather us under his banner

00:21:27.910 --> 00:21:29.910
and in the presence of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:21:29.910 --> 00:21:31.910
Amin.

00:21:31.910 --> 00:21:33.910
Amin.

00:21:33.910 --> 00:21:35.910
Amin.

00:21:35.910 --> 00:21:37.910
And Allah is Most High and All-Knowing.

00:21:37.910 --> 00:21:39.910
May the peace and blessings of Allah

00:21:39.910 --> 00:21:41.910
be upon our Prophet

00:21:41.910 --> 00:21:43.910
Muhammad.
