00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.359
The story of the Queen of Sheba: She said, "My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself."

00:00:13.699 --> 00:00:19.699
After the Queen of Sheba saw the manifestations of the grandeur of the kingdom of the Prophet of Allah, Solomon (peace be upon him),

00:00:19.699 --> 00:00:22.699
and his bringing of her throne all the way from Yemen,

00:00:22.699 --> 00:00:27.699
she became certain that she was in the presence of a great king and a sent Prophet,

00:00:27.699 --> 00:00:30.929
and not before a mere earthly tyrant.

00:00:30.929 --> 00:00:32.929
So when the soldiers said to her,

00:00:33.929 --> 00:00:36.929
she did not hesitate for a moment to enter it.

00:00:36.929 --> 00:00:39.929
The *sarh* is the magnificent palace

00:00:39.929 --> 00:00:44.929
in which she was to meet the Prophet of Allah, Solomon (peace be upon him).

00:00:44.929 --> 00:00:47.929
When she drew near to the entrance of the palace,

00:00:47.929 --> 00:00:53.929
she saw what appeared to be a body of water between herself and the assembly of the Prophet of Allah, Solomon (peace be upon him).

00:00:53.929 --> 00:00:55.990
She was told to enter the palace.

00:00:55.990 --> 00:01:00.090
“It was said unto her: Enter the hall. And when she saw it she deemed it a pool and bared her legs. (Solomon) said: Lo! it is a hall, made smooth, of glass. She said: My Lord! Lo! I have wronged myself, and I surrender with Solomon unto Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.” (27:44)

00:01:00.090 --> 00:01:02.090
So how did she act?

00:01:02.090 --> 00:01:05.150
This situation in which the Queen of Sheba found herself

00:01:05.150 --> 00:01:08.150
would cause embarrassment to anyone facing it.

00:01:08.150 --> 00:01:11.180
For the venue was the king's palace,

00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:16.180
which is customarily the finest and most luxurious place in any kingdom,

00:01:16.180 --> 00:01:22.180
so imagine when this palace belonged to the kingdom of the Prophet of Allah, Solomon (peace be upon him),

00:01:22.180 --> 00:01:28.180
to whom Allah had granted a kingdom like no other in all the worlds!

00:01:28.180 --> 00:01:35.180
Furthermore, the guest was the queen of a great realm with an ancient civilization,

00:01:35.180 --> 00:01:39.180
and this queen possessed a magnificent throne upon which she sat.

00:01:39.180 --> 00:01:44.180
Such a dignitary would expect to be received in the finest and most splendid manner,

00:01:44.180 --> 00:01:48.310
and to be accommodated in the most beautiful and exquisite setting.

00:01:48.310 --> 00:01:52.310
Yet the situation presented a pool of water directly in the queen's path,

00:01:52.310 --> 00:01:55.310
which could not be crossed to reach the palace's council chamber

00:01:55.310 --> 00:01:58.409
except by wading through it.

00:01:58.409 --> 00:02:03.409
The initial interpretation of the situation was that wading through the water was inevitable

00:02:03.409 --> 00:02:08.409
in order to reach the meeting place of the Prophet of Allah, Solomon (peace be upon him),

00:02:08.409 --> 00:02:11.409
the ruler of this mighty kingdom.

00:02:11.409 --> 00:02:16.439
What, then, were the Queen of Sheba's feelings in this situation,

00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:18.500
and how did she conduct herself?

00:02:18.500 --> 00:02:20.500
Allah Almighty said:

00:02:20.500 --> 00:02:22.500
She was told: Enter the palace.

00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:28.539
“It was said unto her: Enter the hall. And when she saw it she deemed it a pool and bared her legs. (Solomon) said: Lo! it is a hall, made smooth, of glass. She said: My Lord! Lo! I have wronged myself, and I surrender with Solomon unto Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.” (27:44)

00:02:28.539 --> 00:02:32.539
She acted promptly when she saw the water,

00:02:32.539 --> 00:02:35.539
uncovering her shins.

00:02:35.539 --> 00:02:39.539
But why did she uncover her shins?

00:02:39.539 --> 00:02:44.539
Because it was difficult to wade through water while wearing her ample, concealing garments,

00:02:44.539 --> 00:02:46.539
which were royal robes,

00:02:46.539 --> 00:02:48.659
and no ordinary attire.

00:02:48.659 --> 00:02:53.659
This conduct of the Queen of Sheba indicates several lessons to us:

00:02:53.659 --> 00:02:59.659
Among them is that the attire of majesty worn by someone of such high standing

00:02:59.659 --> 00:03:01.659
involved no nudity;

00:03:01.659 --> 00:03:05.659
rather, it was ample clothing that fully covered the body,

00:03:05.659 --> 00:03:10.659
often featuring a long train trailing behind the queen

00:03:10.659 --> 00:03:13.659
to signify grandeur and prestige.

00:03:13.659 --> 00:03:16.699
As for exposing one's body before people,

00:03:16.699 --> 00:03:21.699
it is never the attire of rational, cultured, and civilized people,

00:03:21.699 --> 00:03:24.699
whether male or female;

00:03:24.699 --> 00:03:29.699
rather, it stems from a lack of modesty and poor character.

00:03:29.699 --> 00:03:32.889
So do not unclothe yourself, my noble sister.

00:03:32.889 --> 00:03:37.889
Another lesson is the quick-wittedness of this clever and discerning queen,

00:03:37.889 --> 00:03:40.889
who lifted her garments to wade through the water,

00:03:40.889 --> 00:03:43.889
knowing it would be improper to wade in her clothes

00:03:43.889 --> 00:03:47.889
and then drip water everywhere

00:03:47.889 --> 00:03:52.889
she sat in the palace of the Prophet of Allah, Solomon (peace be upon him),

00:03:52.889 --> 00:03:58.889
because feet dry much faster after wading than wet garments do.

00:03:58.889 --> 00:04:04.020
Another lesson is that this concealing attire worn by the Queen of Sheba

00:04:04.020 --> 00:04:07.020
was not grounded in religious devotion,

00:04:07.020 --> 00:04:12.020
but was merely royal custom in which the Queen of Sheba lived.

00:04:12.020 --> 00:04:15.020
For that reason, she cast it aside quickly

00:04:15.020 --> 00:04:20.019
and uncovered her shins before men and in a public gathering.

00:04:20.019 --> 00:04:24.019
This is unlike a woman who covers her body out of religious devotion to Allah;

00:04:24.019 --> 00:04:27.019
she would wade through water in her clothes,

00:04:27.019 --> 00:04:29.019
even if the water were impure,

00:04:29.019 --> 00:04:32.019
and would not uncover her shins before men,

00:04:32.019 --> 00:04:37.019
adhering strictly to the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),

00:04:37.019 --> 00:04:40.019
narrated by Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both),

00:04:41.019 --> 00:04:42.019
who said:

00:04:42.019 --> 00:04:46.019
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

00:04:46.019 --> 00:04:49.019
"Whoever trails their garment out of pride,

00:04:49.019 --> 00:04:51.019
Allah will not look at them on the Day of Resurrection."

00:04:51.019 --> 00:04:53.079
Umm Salamah asked:

00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:55.079
"O Messenger of Allah,

00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.079
what should women do with their trailing hems?"

00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:02.139
He replied: "They should let them down by a handspan."

00:05:02.139 --> 00:05:03.139
She said:

00:05:03.139 --> 00:05:06.139
"In that case, their feet will be uncovered."

00:05:06.139 --> 00:05:07.139
He said:

00:05:07.139 --> 00:05:09.139
"Then let them lower them by a forearm's length,

00:05:09.139 --> 00:05:11.139
and do not exceed that."

00:05:11.139 --> 00:05:13.139
Narrated by al-Nasa'i.

00:05:13.139 --> 00:05:17.209
Here is Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her),

00:05:17.209 --> 00:05:20.209
discussing with the Prophet (peace be upon him)

00:05:20.209 --> 00:05:22.209
the length of the garment's train,

00:05:22.209 --> 00:05:26.209
out of her keen concern that women cover their feet,

00:05:26.209 --> 00:05:30.209
since it was firmly established for her that a woman's foot is part of the awrah

00:05:30.209 --> 00:05:33.209
that is not permissible to expose before non-mahram men.

00:05:33.209 --> 00:05:37.209
Thus, she said to the Prophet (peace be upon him)

00:05:37.209 --> 00:05:43.209
that lowering the dress, abaya, or jilbab by a handspan past the ankles

00:05:43.209 --> 00:05:45.209
was insufficient to fully conceal the feet.

00:05:45.209 --> 00:05:52.430
So he permitted her and all women to lower the hem up to a forearm's length to conceal the feet.

00:05:52.430 --> 00:05:57.430
Thus, this believing woman, who is eager to conceal her feet from men,

00:05:57.430 --> 00:06:02.430
will not uncover them on the pretext of a pool of water in her path,

00:06:02.430 --> 00:06:05.430
even if that water happens to be impure,

00:06:05.430 --> 00:06:10.430
because of what is established for her from the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)

00:06:10.430 --> 00:06:12.430
explaining the legal ruling on that matter.

00:06:12.430 --> 00:06:16.500
It is narrated from an *umm walad* (freed concubine-mother) of Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf

00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:21.500
that she asked Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet (peace be upon him),

00:06:21.500 --> 00:06:25.500
saying, "I am a woman who elongates her train,

00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:28.500
and I walk through filthy places."

00:06:28.500 --> 00:06:33.560
Umm Salamah replied: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.560
"What comes after it purifies it."

00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.620
And a woman from Banu Abd al-Ashhal narrated:

00:06:39.620 --> 00:06:42.620
I said, "O Messenger of Allah,

00:06:42.620 --> 00:06:45.620
we have a foul-smelling path to the mosque;

00:06:45.620 --> 00:06:48.620
what should we do when it rains?"

00:06:48.620 --> 00:06:53.620
He asked: "Is there not a cleaner path after it?"

00:06:53.620 --> 00:06:56.620
She said, "I replied, 'Yes.'"

00:06:56.620 --> 00:06:59.620
He said: "Then this makes up for that."

00:06:59.620 --> 00:07:01.660
Narrated by Ahmad.

00:07:01.660 --> 00:07:05.910
Thus, the Prophet (peace be upon him) eased the matter for the woman

00:07:05.910 --> 00:07:11.910
and removed hardship regarding her passing over an impure or foul-smelling puddle,

00:07:11.910 --> 00:07:14.910
explaining that the pure ground that follows it cleanses it—

00:07:14.910 --> 00:07:18.910
all to preserve the woman's modesty and covering,

00:07:18.910 --> 00:07:23.910
and so that a woman would not take impure water as an excuse

00:07:23.910 --> 00:07:27.910
to lift her garments and expose her feet or shins.

00:07:27.910 --> 00:07:34.170
Another lesson is that she maintained a favorable opinion of the Prophet of Allah, Solomon (peace be upon him),

00:07:34.170 --> 00:07:38.170
which is why she did not hesitate to enter the palace,

00:07:38.170 --> 00:07:42.170
despite seeing something unusual in her path;

00:07:42.170 --> 00:07:46.170
rather, she was convinced, after witnessing the grandeur of his realm,

00:07:46.170 --> 00:07:49.170
that she was in a place of honor,

00:07:49.170 --> 00:07:52.170
not a place of humiliation.

00:07:52.170 --> 00:07:55.199
This is how every wise and sensible person should be:

00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.199
to think well of someone known for goodness,

00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:03.199
even if some of their actions appear unusual at first glance.

00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:08.360
But what happened after she uncovered her shins?

00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:13.550
As soon as she uncovered her shins to wade through what appeared to her to be water,

00:08:13.550 --> 00:08:20.550
she was told: "It is a palace paved smooth with crystal."

00:08:20.550 --> 00:08:27.649
This was yet another sign of the magnificence of the kingdom of the Prophet of Allah, Solomon (peace be upon him).

00:08:27.649 --> 00:08:30.899
The reader might wonder:

00:08:30.899 --> 00:08:33.899
Why did the Prophet of Allah, Solomon (peace be upon him), build

00:08:33.899 --> 00:08:38.899
this smooth crystal palace in such a fashion?

00:08:38.899 --> 00:08:42.159
When we refer back to the books of Tafsir,

00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:46.159
we find in many of them Isra'iliyyat (Judeo-Christian narrations)

00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.159
that attempt to answer this question

00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:51.159
in a manner that undermines the dignity of prophethood,

00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:54.159
the noble status of the Prophet of Allah, Solomon (peace be upon him),

00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.159
and the prophetic virtues with which he was characterized.

00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:03.190
Such fabrications are not surprising in Jewish lore concerning their prophets,

00:09:03.190 --> 00:09:11.190
for they alleged far more abhorrent things against them than what was said about the Prophet of Allah, Solomon (peace be upon him), in this incident.

00:09:11.190 --> 00:09:14.190
Indeed, against the Prophet of Allah, Solomon (peace be upon him),

00:09:14.190 --> 00:09:18.190
both jinn and humans fabricated things of which he was entirely innocent,

00:09:18.190 --> 00:09:20.190
as Allah Almighty said:

00:09:20.190 --> 00:09:25.190
And they followed what the devils recited during the reign of Solomon.

00:09:25.190 --> 00:09:30.190
“And follow that which the devils falsely related against the kingdom of Solomon. Solomon disbelieved not; but the devils disbelieved, teaching mankind magic and that which was revealed to the two angels in Babel, Harut and Marut. Nor did they (the two angels) teach it to anyone till they had said: We are only a temptation, therefore disbelieve not (in the guidance of Allah). And from these two (angles) people learn that by which they cause division between man and wife; but they injure thereby no-one save by Allah's leave. And they learn that which harmeth them and profiteth them not. And surely they do know that he who trafficketh therein will have no (happy) portion in the Hereafter; and surely evil is the price for which they sell their souls, if they but knew.” (2:102)

00:09:30.190 --> 00:09:38.190
“And follow that which the devils falsely related against the kingdom of Solomon. Solomon disbelieved not; but the devils disbelieved, teaching mankind magic and that which was revealed to the two angels in Babel, Harut and Marut. Nor did they (the two angels) teach it to anyone till they had said: We are only a temptation, therefore disbelieve not (in the guidance of Allah). And from these two (angles) people learn that by which they cause division between man and wife; but they injure thereby no-one save by Allah's leave. And they learn that which harmeth them and profiteth them not. And surely they do know that he who trafficketh therein will have no (happy) portion in the Hereafter; and surely evil is the price for which they sell their souls, if they but knew.” (2:102)

00:09:38.190 --> 00:09:40.220
Al-Sa'di (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

00:09:40.220 --> 00:09:45.220
"This is what Allah has narrated to us regarding the story of the Queen of Sheba

00:09:45.220 --> 00:09:48.220
and what transpired between her and Solomon (peace be upon him).

00:09:48.220 --> 00:09:54.220
As for the fabricated embellishments and Isra'iliyyat stories beyond this,

00:09:54.220 --> 00:09:58.220
they have no relevance to the Tafsir of Allah's Word,

00:09:58.220 --> 00:10:04.220
and they belong to matters whose verification requires established evidence from the infallible Prophet.

00:10:04.220 --> 00:10:10.220
The reports transmitted on this subject are entirely or mostly devoid of such evidence;

00:10:10.220 --> 00:10:12.220
therefore, true resolve

00:10:12.220 --> 00:10:16.220
lies in turning away from them and excluding them from Tafsir.

00:10:16.220 --> 00:10:18.220
And Allah knows best."

00:10:18.220 --> 00:10:26.250
However, there are statements by exegetes that remain free from such Isra'iliyyat,

00:10:26.250 --> 00:10:27.250
among which:

00:10:27.250 --> 00:10:30.250
Al-Maturidi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

00:10:30.250 --> 00:10:34.250
"He intended to show her a sign of his prophethood

00:10:34.250 --> 00:10:38.250
by constructing a palace paved smooth with crystal,

00:10:38.250 --> 00:10:41.250
which appeared like water due to its sheer transparency—

00:10:41.250 --> 00:10:44.250
an achievement beyond normal human design—

00:10:44.250 --> 00:10:49.250
so that she would realize it was guided by Heaven, not mere human contrivance.

00:10:49.250 --> 00:10:53.250
Or he intended thereby—and Allah knows best—

00:10:53.250 --> 00:10:56.250
to display the sheer majesty of his dominion and authority,

00:10:56.250 --> 00:10:59.250
so she would know that he achieves whatever he wills

00:10:59.250 --> 00:11:01.250
and is fully capable of it,

00:11:01.250 --> 00:11:07.250
and that nothing would benefit her except obeying him, responding positively, and submitting in Islam to Allah."

00:11:07.250 --> 00:11:11.460
Al-Razi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

00:11:11.460 --> 00:11:18.460
"Know that when Allah Almighty recounted her persistence in disbelief despite all prior signs,

00:11:18.460 --> 00:11:25.460
He mentioned that Solomon (peace be upon him) displayed a marvel that served as an invitation for her to embrace Islam,

00:11:25.460 --> 00:11:27.460
which is His saying:

00:11:27.460 --> 00:11:32.460
'She was told: Enter the palace'—and the *sarh* is the palace."

00:11:32.460 --> 00:11:36.529
He also said: "He only did that

00:11:36.529 --> 00:11:41.529
to increase her veneration of his status and her conviction in his prophethood."

00:11:41.529 --> 00:11:49.580
What the Prophet of Allah, Solomon (peace be upon him), constructed of the palace and other marvels deeply impacted the Queen of Sheba,

00:11:49.580 --> 00:11:52.580
and so she declared her Islam:

00:11:52.580 --> 00:11:55.580
“It was said unto her: Enter the hall. And when she saw it she deemed it a pool and bared her legs. (Solomon) said: Lo! it is a hall, made smooth, of glass. She said: My Lord! Lo! I have wronged myself, and I surrender with Solomon unto Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.” (27:44)

00:11:55.580 --> 00:12:00.580
“It was said unto her: Enter the hall. And when she saw it she deemed it a pool and bared her legs. (Solomon) said: Lo! it is a hall, made smooth, of glass. She said: My Lord! Lo! I have wronged myself, and I surrender with Solomon unto Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.” (27:44)

00:12:00.580 --> 00:12:05.580
She acknowledged her wrongdoing in worshipping and prostrating to the sun,

00:12:05.580 --> 00:12:10.649
and then declared her total submission to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

00:12:10.649 --> 00:12:13.649
These are indeed the proper manners of repentance:

00:12:13.649 --> 00:12:18.710
acknowledging one's error and submitting wholly to the command and decree of Allah.

00:12:18.710 --> 00:12:20.710
And in her words,

00:12:20.710 --> 00:12:24.710
“It was said unto her: Enter the hall. And when she saw it she deemed it a pool and bared her legs. (Solomon) said: Lo! it is a hall, made smooth, of glass. She said: My Lord! Lo! I have wronged myself, and I surrender with Solomon unto Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.” (27:44)

00:12:24.710 --> 00:12:28.710
lies an important lesson for every noble young woman:

00:12:28.710 --> 00:12:32.710
that religious commitment is not meant merely to facilitate marriage,

00:12:32.710 --> 00:12:36.710
nor solely to earn a husband's love and approval;

00:12:36.710 --> 00:12:39.710
rather, it must be purely for Allah, the Exalted and Glorious.

00:12:39.710 --> 00:12:42.710
For whatever is built merely on the love and pleasing of a husband

00:12:42.710 --> 00:12:47.710
quickly unravels whenever a dispute arises with him.

00:12:47.710 --> 00:12:51.129
I have encountered numerous examples

00:12:51.129 --> 00:12:59.129
of young women who exhibited religious practice and adherence to Allah's commands at the beginning of their marital lives

00:12:59.129 --> 00:13:05.129
alongside righteous husbands who were steadfast in Allah's religion and called others to it.

00:13:05.129 --> 00:13:09.129
Yet, as marital life went on

00:13:09.129 --> 00:13:12.129
and occasional marital grievances occurred,

00:13:12.129 --> 00:13:18.129
we saw some of them abandoning the rulings of the Sharia that they once advocated and upheld,

00:13:18.129 --> 00:13:21.129
simply because of a disagreement with the husband—

00:13:21.129 --> 00:13:26.129
particularly regarding Islamic dress outside the home,

00:13:26.129 --> 00:13:29.129
or in front of women and in their gatherings,

00:13:29.129 --> 00:13:34.129
or regarding unnecessary mixing with men in mixed work environments,

00:13:34.129 --> 00:13:37.129
or at family gatherings,

00:13:37.129 --> 00:13:44.259
Or when she frequents public cafes in shopping malls with her female friends,

00:13:44.259 --> 00:13:50.259
doing so merely to spite her husband who disapproves of such behavior.

00:13:50.259 --> 00:13:56.259
She then describes her husband as an extremist who belongs to a rigid era,

00:13:56.259 --> 00:14:01.259
claiming, "We are now living in an open age where such strictness is no longer suitable,"

00:14:01.259 --> 00:14:06.419
and that religious rulings have changed, leaving that strictness behind.

00:14:06.419 --> 00:14:09.419
I have elaborated on this topic in an article entitled:

00:14:09.419 --> 00:14:13.419
"Your Disagreement with Your Husband Should Not Change Your Principles."

00:14:13.419 --> 00:14:16.419
You may refer to it if you wish.

00:14:16.419 --> 00:14:20.539
My dear brother, my dear sister,

00:14:20.539 --> 00:14:27.539
this concludes the story of the Queen of Sheba with the Prophet of Allah, Solomon, peace be upon him.

00:14:27.539 --> 00:14:30.539
It contains a wealth of profound lessons,

00:14:30.539 --> 00:14:34.539
and the very purpose of recounting these stories is to derive lessons from them.

00:14:34.539 --> 00:14:38.539
Al-Tahir Ibn 'Ashur, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

00:14:38.539 --> 00:14:40.539
"The core lesson to be drawn from it

00:14:40.539 --> 00:14:43.539
is to take heed from the case of this queen;

00:14:43.539 --> 00:14:47.539
for neither her elevated status nor the majesty of her dominion—

00:14:47.539 --> 00:14:52.539
alongside her sound innate disposition and sharp intellect—prevented her

00:14:52.539 --> 00:14:56.539
from examining the proofs of truthfulness presented by the caller to monotheism,

00:14:56.539 --> 00:14:58.539
becoming convinced of the invalidity of polytheism,

00:14:58.539 --> 00:15:01.539
and submitting to the oneness of Allah.

00:15:01.539 --> 00:15:08.659
Thus, the persistence of the polytheists in their shirk after Islamic guidance has reached them

00:15:08.659 --> 00:15:13.659
is nothing but the result of the foolishness of their minds, their blindness to the truth,

00:15:13.659 --> 00:15:18.850
their clinging to falsehood, and their stubbornness within it."

00:15:18.850 --> 00:15:23.850
And if there is a final word with which I conclude the episodes of this series

00:15:23.850 --> 00:15:28.850
on the story of the Queen of Sheba with the Prophet of Allah, Solomon, peace be upon him,

00:15:28.850 --> 00:15:35.850
it is that the most vital quality a believing man and woman can embody in their lives

00:15:35.850 --> 00:15:39.879
is total surrender to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:44.879
May Allah make me and you among those who submit to the Lord of the worlds,

00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:47.879
follow His sacred law, yield to His command,

00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:51.740
and refrain from whatever Allah has forbidden.

00:15:51.740 --> 00:15:57.740
We will meet you, if Allah wills, in another story from the stories of women in the Holy Qur'an

00:15:57.740 --> 00:16:00.740
in the coming days, by Allah's leave,

00:16:00.740 --> 00:16:03.740
if Allah grants life to us and to you.

00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:09.740
And our final supplication is that all praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
