The story of the Queen of Sheba
0:02
Rather, you will rejoice with your gift
0:13
The Queen of Sheba made a mistake in her decision
0:17
When she decided to give the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him, a gift to win his heart
0:25
The one who is attached to this world does not know the psychology of the one who is attached to the afterlife
0:31
Like the Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him
0:34
He is never tempted by money
0:37
But the Queen of Sheba
0:40
I dealt with the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him, with the nature of kings
0:45
Those who are tempted by money
0:47
They rejoice in it and what is given to them
0:50
It affects their decisions
0:53
Because it is the ultimate hope of many kings and leaders
0:57
He collects money
0:58
Except those whom God has mercy on and guides to the straight path
1:04
The Queen of Sheba wanted to know the nature of God’s Prophet Solomon, peace be upon him
1:10
Is he a king like the kings of the world who love money?
1:15
Or is he a sent prophet?
1:18
But they are errors of the method in knowing the great qualities of God’s Prophet Solomon, peace be upon him
1:26
When we want to know the facts of men
1:29
Let's look at their logic and what they say
1:33
It is evidence of their level of reason and thinking
1:38
The manifestations of greatness that some men display in their appearance and clothing
1:44
The way they walk and move
1:47
Underneath may be hidden empty minds and trivial preoccupations
1:52
One cannot rely on knowing men based on their appearance alone
1:57
This is Rustam, the commander of the Persians
2:00
He blames his companions when they looked at Rab’i bin Amer
2:04
They evaluated him by his clothing and appearance
2:08
Rustam replied to them by saying:
2:11
Don't look at his appearance, look at his logic
2:17
Some men if you see them
2:20
You were intimidated by them
2:22
If they speak and speak, they will fall from the eyes of rational people
2:27
Because of the futility of their minds
2:30
Banality has dominated the lives of many affluent people
2:34
Position holders and leaders
2:37
This is the case with many kings throughout history
2:41
This is what the Queen of Sheba herself lived
2:45
She was busy decorating her throne and taking care of it
2:49
The hoopoe even described it as a great throne
2:53
She thought that the Prophet of God was Solomon, peace be upon him
2:57
Of this type of kings
2:59
So she sent him a gift that was great in her eyes and in the eyes of the people of the world
3:06
The Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him, denounced it
3:09
This behavior is from the Queen of Sheba
3:12
He got angry and said
3:14
Provide me with money
3:16
What God has given me is better than what He has given you
3:21
Rather, you will rejoice with your gift
3:26
He faced the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him
3:29
The Queen of Sheba's gift includes three things
3:33
The first is to denounce the gift in exchange for their call to Islam
3:39
The second is a mention of God’s blessing upon him with the religion, prophecy, and wisdom He gave him
3:46
And subjugating the jinn and birds to him
3:48
And knowing the logic of birds
3:51
This is much greater than the gift of the Queen of Sheba
3:56
The third shows who would like such gifts
4:01
And it is not his morals
4:04
Rather, it is their morals because they are accustomed to them
4:09
Al-Qushayri, may God have mercy on him, said
4:12
Are you offering me money?
4:14
Is someone like me attracted to such actions?
4:18
You and people like you are treated the same way you were treated
4:24
Al-Baghawi, may God have mercy on him, said
4:27
What God gave us of prophecy, religion, wisdom, and kingdom
4:32
Better and better than what He has given you
4:35
Rather, you will rejoice with your gift
4:38
Because you are people who brag about this world and take pride in it
4:43
You rejoice in giving gifts to one another
4:46
As for me
4:48
I do not rejoice in it, and the world is not what I need
4:52
Because God Almighty has enabled me to do so
4:55
He gave me what he did not give to anyone else
4:59
Yet he honored me with religion and prophethood
5:04
Al-Razi, may God have mercy on him, said
5:07
With these words, he showed his lack of interest in that money
5:13
The Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him, knew the reason for sending the gift
5:18
This dissuaded him from his intention to conquer their country and invite them to Islam
5:24
He did not accept the gift
5:27
After looking into knowing the reason why people give money and wealth, it is appropriate
5:33
For scholars, preachers and reformers
5:36
It is very important
5:38
Because the meaning to them may be far away
5:42
The scholar or preacher would not notice it if he looked at the matter superficially
5:48
Or he justified himself in accepting the Sultan's gifts
5:52
This is what scholars, preachers, and reformers should do
5:56
It is refraining from accepting any gift or gift
6:00
Maybe one day you will become famous in their religion
6:03
And asceticism in what people have
6:06
And turn to God to ask for what they need
6:10
His gifts never cease from His servants
6:13
And He provides for them from where they do not expect
6:18
The unjust ruler is at all times
6:21
He confronts scholars and preachers to prevent them from calling to God and spreading knowledge
6:26
Guiding people and telling the truth in two ways
6:31
The first way
6:33
Silencing them with gifts, money and gifts
6:37
And involve them in all his events, parties and receptions
6:43
The second way
6:45
Restricting, persecuting, and imprisoning them
6:49
And prevent them from educating people in any way
6:54
Changing names does not substitute anything for the truth
6:59
The Queen of Sheba said:
7:01
And I am sending them a gift
7:05
Did you send a gift or a bribe?
7:09
Luring people with money is both right and wrong
7:14
As for enticing the infidel with money to convert to Islam and abandon disbelief
7:18
This is a right permitted by Islam
7:22
He made it a type of zakat
7:25
As in the Almighty’s saying
7:27
Alms are for the poor and needy
7:34
And those who work on it and whose hearts are reconciled
7:39
And in the freeing of slaves and debtors
7:47
For the sake of God and on the way
7:52
A blessing from God
7:57
And God is All-Knowing, All-Wise
8:02
This type of grooming and similar
8:05
It is not in the interest of those who lure him with money
8:09
But it is the luck of the one who was given the money
8:12
To adhere to the truth and adhere to it
8:15
Or enter into the religion of God
8:17
Or adhere to Islam
8:19
As was the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
8:23
It consists of Aslam in the conquest of Mecca
8:26
By giving them spoils to support Islam
8:30
As for forbidden grooming
8:33
It is for the benefit of someone instead of money
8:36
To get what he has no right to
8:39
Or to exceed it in a right owed to him
8:43
Or to oppress others or something like that
8:47
This is forbidden bribery
8:49
Even if it is called a gift
8:52
Most of the gifts of sultans, kings and leaders
8:55
She is from this section
8:57
Either to silence poets or preachers
9:00
Or to create bad scientists
9:03
To make lawful for them what God has forbidden to them
9:06
Or to correct their actions
9:08
Even if it violates Sharia law
9:11
A gift is originally desirable
9:14
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
9:18
Calm down, love each other
9:20
Narrated by Al-Bukhari in Al-Adab Al-Mufrad
9:24
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
9:26
He accepts the gift
9:28
It is a good deed among Muslims
9:31
If they seek the face of God Almighty with it
9:35
But if the gift is for someone other than God
9:39
Or it was to prevent the establishment of God's law
9:42
Or prevent a person from obeying God
9:45
Or it was for a prohibited purpose
9:47
Such as relationships between boys and girls
9:50
And giving flowers and other things on Valentine’s Day, as they claim
9:55
Or elsewhere
9:57
This is one of the forbidden gifts
10:00
And what the Queen of Sheba sent
10:03
It is of this kind that is forbidden
10:05
She wanted to prevent the Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him
10:09
Who conquered their country and brought them into the religion of God
10:13
And they came under his rule
10:16
And the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him
10:19
He does it for God
10:22
And to spread the religion of God
10:23
May the word of God rise above the earth
10:26
And to save them from worshiping the sun to worshiping the One Almighty God
10:32
Let people surrender to the Lord of the Worlds
10:36
To prevent this great goal with gifts and money
10:41
Rather, it is a barrier from the path of God
10:44
Therefore, the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him, did not accept it
10:49
He said, "Go back to them."
10:52
Let us bring them forces against which they cannot defeat
10:57
And We will certainly bring them out of it humiliated while they are humiliated
11:02
The response was firm
11:04
By fighting the people of the Kingdom of Sheba
11:07
And bring them into the religion of God Almighty
11:10
And keep them away from worshiping other than God
11:13
Saving them from eternity in hell
11:17
This is a form of jihad for the sake of God
11:21
When the news reached the Queen of Sheba
11:24
I submitted to the command of the Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him
11:28
She and the nobles of her people went out
11:31
To the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him
11:35
To come under his rule voluntarily
11:38
We protected the blood of its people from flowing in the streets
11:43
This shows the soundness of her mind
11:45
To protect her people from entering into a losing war
11:49
By all standards
11:51
There is no shame in her surrendering to the truth
11:55
Submitting to the truth
11:57
Better than persisting in falsehood
12:00
This is what every rational person should do
12:03
To submit to the truth if it becomes clear to him
12:06
He avoids getting into fights
12:09
Useless words or arguments
12:12
To prove his opinion
12:13
It became clear to him that the truth was with others
12:18
It's a waste of time and effort
12:20
In pointless battles
12:23
A kind of foolishness that does not befit the mind
12:27
This is what the Queen of Sheba did
12:30
It reduced the time and method
12:32
After she realized what she did wrong
12:35
So she went by herself
12:37
To the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him
12:40
Surrender to the truth
12:44
But what happened in her kingdom?
12:47
She is on her way
12:49
To the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him
12:53
We will continue in the next meeting, God willing
12:57
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
13:01
The story of the Queen of Sheba
13:04
With the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him
