1
Allah tells us in the Quran, لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ Verily there is for you في رسول الله in the Prophet ﷺ
2
أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنًا The best or the most perfect example for you.
3
When we see such a glad tiding from Allah ﷺ, we see an example that is to be followed.
4
And the Prophet ﷺ, he told us,
5
رَسُولُ
6
الله ﷺ told us in the reported hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari that one of you will not be a complete believer.
7
until I become more beloved to them,
8
then his wealth, his family, and all of mankind.
9
And another riwayah, even from his children and his parents.
10
These are authentic narrations.
11
These ayats are in the Quran that we mention.
12
So a part of our iman is to love Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
13
And it's very easy for us to say.
14
If we say that we love Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ala lisan, it's very easy.
15
But we should really evaluate ourselves and think.
16
do I really love the Prophet more than my wealth?
17
We will say it, but then when the test comes, when something has to do with money and has to do with the sunnah of the Prophet,
18
how many times will we say, well, it's only sunnah?
19
How many of us can say we love Rasulullah more than our parents and our children and our family, every one of us will say,
20
yes, I love Rasulullah more.
21
But when the test comes and we tell you this is the sunnah, Rasulullah prayed this way and you say, but my father said no,
22
my mother said no, my family said no, my tribe said no, my people said no. Then where is the reality of that claim?
23
An-Nas Ajma'een Here in this Rawaah in Al-Bukhari All of mankind is there
24
We as a part of our Iman Have to love Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
25
More than any king More than any scholar More than any imam More than any person A beloved Anybody
26
That's a part of our Iman Wallahi If we are honest, most of us are lacking in this.
27
If we are honest, most of us are lacking.
28
We will find ways around the Sunnah to please a community, to please a king, to please a powerful person,
29
to please our family, to please our tribes, to please the modernist trend that's coming,
30
to please our kafir bosses that we people have made. So what's the solution?
31
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us Uswatun hasana, the best example.
32
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tell us that the part of your iman is to love me more than anybody else. So what's the solution?
33
The solution as Imam ibn Jawzi the great scholar of Islam,
34
he said, من أحب الشيء أكثر ذكره He said,
35
the one that loves something should and in a meaning does increase its remembrance.
36
When you love something, you like to talk about it.
37
If somebody loves a particular sports team, and I'm not into sports, but I'm saying, right?
38
They could talk about a particular game a hundred times, it won't get boring to them.
39
Remember the 2000 whatever Super Bowl when my sports team won the Super Bowl, remember that touchdown?
40
Man, you could bring it up 10 years later and their eyes will light up and they won't be like, man, we already talked about this a hundred times.
41
They'll be like, no!
42
You remember how he made that run?
43
Somebody loves a movie.
44
They will watch that movie again and again and again and again and it won't get boring to them.
45
And they can talk about it from Fajr till Qiyam al-Layl, forget about Isha.
46
Somebody loves technology, somebody loves guns, somebody loves whatever from the Halal and the Haram.
47
Somebody loves a woman, somebody loves a man, a woman, loves a man.
48
They'll talk about that beloved, until they get married anyway, but they'll talk about it all day, all night, and write poetry,
49
and whatever, they'll chat online, and it won't get boring.
50
Why?
51
Somebody who's not interested in that subject, you bring it up, you're boring.
52
I don't care about sports, I don't care about, how many times are you going to talk about that one touchdown?
53
Okay, hit the ball, big deal.
54
So it shows.
55
So when we talk about the seerah, it first evaluates our love for Rasulullah .
56
If it bores us, then know that we have a problem.
57
And the solution of that problem is to then sit in that dars.
58
Because when you learn about Rasulullah , when you learn how Allah honored us,
59
by being from the ummah of that man Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam, the best of mankind, then your love will grow.
60
When you hear about how he sacrificed for us to have this religion,
61
how he spent his days and nights in da'wah and jihad and all of the sacrifices he made,
62
alayhi salatu salam, the hunger he went through, the hardships,
63
it will then bring that love that's a part of our iman to have
64
and this is the way of the salaf
65
if we look at many ahadith the sahaba would sit
66
and they would say do you know what my habib taught me alayhi salatu salam
67
and one will say are you taught me these 10 things
68
and one will say i remember when i was with rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasalam
69
and this happened and that happened and one will say i was there
70
and this happened
71
so you will find this to be the way of the sahaba there is a riwaya it's mentioned
72
but that is the the strongest
73
that is from aisha he mentions it with the senate as did uh many other emma like ibn asakir and
74
al-Dhahabi in his Takhrej and Tariq of Islam with the whole Takhrej and Kundul Amal and many books of it.
75
Aayshah said, Zayyanu majalisikum with Salat ala al-Nabi wa bi-dhikr Umrah ibn Khattab.
76
Beautiful hadith from Aayshah.
77
She said, beautify your gatherings with Salat ala al-Nabi.
78
When you mention the name of Rasulullah ﷺ, say ﷺ.
79
And with the remembrance of Umar ibn Khattab.
80
Why?
81
Why Umar ibn Khattab?
82
He was an amazing person.
83
His life is filled with lessons for us.
84
But imagine if this is important to learn about the life of Umar, then imagine the life of Abu Bakr.
85
رضي الله عنهما And remember The best of mankind To learn about The life of Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم
86
Today Unfortunately We waste our time
87
And I'm saying this This is before we begin this dars Because if you're in a rush
88
If you want this to be a TikTok 10 second video
89
Leave now You could probably make it home To waste your time on TikTok In this dars,
90
you will have to sit patiently.
91
You will have to sit with the love of Rasulullah , with the zawq, with the hub,
92
with the passion that you should have to learn what is authentic from weak, from the life of the Prophet .
93
And know that this time would be better spent than anything else that shaitan is reminding you of right now.
94
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his life and studying his life has to be a priority.
95
Because that's a part of our Iman.
96
And from the benefits of learning about the life of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and if it was just that we developed a love for him, alayhi sallatu wasalam, that would be enough.
97
But there are many, and I will just mention a few.
98
One of them in the Sira, in the life of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, you will learn Aqeedah.
99
Why?
100
Where do we learn our Manhaj or Aqeedah from?
101
It's from Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
102
How he dealt with the Kuffar, with inner faith, with other religions, with the Mushriqeen.
103
And there the Mushriqeen would come and try to submit their ideas of worshipping idols
104
and how far can you go and not go and all of that, which are parts of Aqa'id, will be learned from the Seerah.
105
You will learn Fiqh, how he prayed a.s., how he dealt in jihad, how he dealt in being a musafir and a muqeem and all of that,
106
that is from the Seerah.
107
You will learn Tafseer.
108
When the ayat are revealed, what was going on, how the Prophet s.a.w explained it.
109
When we look at Tafseer, Allah made the Sunnah or the Seerah, what we learn from the Sunnah,
110
a part of understanding the Quran.
111
And that's why Allah says, وَإِنزَى اللَّهُ Allah revealed عَلَيْكَ Upon the Prophet ﷺ,
112
الْكِتَابِ وَالْحِكْمَةِ Look at any book of Tafsir.
113
Reliable books of Tafsir.
114
What is Al-Kitab here?
115
What Kitab was revealed to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam?
116
Al-Quran.
117
But what is Al-Hikmah?
118
Al-Sunnah.
119
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, He told us that from the job of the Prophet ﷺ,
120
يُعَلِّمَكُمْ That to teach you الكتاب والحكمة.
121
Surat Al-Baqarah in the 151st ayah.
122
Earlier, that was from Surat Al-Nisa, the 113th ayah.
123
So to teach us الكتاب, what is the الكتاب?
124
The Qur'an.
125
But what does it mean that the job of the Prophet ﷺ is to teach us الحكمة?
126
is to teach us the sunnah.
127
And those who deny the sunnah, what would they say about the Quran here?
128
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he told us, that verily I have been given al-kitab wa mithlahu ma'ahu.
129
This hadith is reported in the sunnah of Imam Abu Dawood, hadith number 4604 and some of the prints 4504.
130
But you can look it up that's a hadith rasul told us i was given the quran and like it
131
well the quran we know al kitab what is like it this is the sunnah from wahi
132
rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam told us
133
he didn't say salu kama qal abhi hanifa or malik or shafi or ahmad or without love And those Emma,
134
those great scholars, they went to the Sunnah to find how the Salah of Rasulullah was.
135
But Rasulullah told us that pray as you have seen me praying.
136
This is a part of our deen, not just that the Prophet brought the Quran.
137
No, he taught us that Salah and how to pray.
138
This hadith is in Al-Bukhari.
139
Khudu anee manasikikum, take from me your religious rituals.
140
This is the Muslim Imam Ahmad, Sahih.
141
So the Sira will teach us that fiqh.
142
What is a Sira?
143
A Sira linguistically can mean a tariqa or a way.
144
People tell us what tariqa do you follow today?
145
Next bandi and this bandi and that Qadri and this, this.
146
We tell them tariqa Muhammadiyya.
147
The way of Rasulullah I don't know
148
that one that's the problem you don't know that one right
149
so this is the way of Rasulullah this is what we
150
learn in the Sira how did the person I'm making the
151
car how did he make it salah how did he give
152
da'wah what is da'wah in accordance with the way of Rasulullah
153
from the benefits of studying a Sira it stops us from Tafriq
154
and umma yeah I need from the splitting of the ummah
155
no doubt the ummah will split as the rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasalam told us
156
that the ummah will split ala thalatha wasab'een millah on 73
157
factions kullhum fi annaar all of them will be in the
158
nar illa billata wahida except for one is a reliable hassan hadith in a termity hadith number 2641.
159
But which one is that today?
160
Every sect, every group will say it's us.
161
Whether they are Qadiyani, whether they are Ghaqani, whether they are whatever, they will say it's us.
162
But the hadith tells us who they are.
163
When they asked, they asked, the Sahaba asked who is they?
164
They are the ones who are upon what I am upon and my companions.
165
Look up to Harzah and Thirmadi.
166
So if you want to know who is right, look at who is strictest in following the way of Rasulullah.
167
Not just a madhab, not just a firqah, not just a buzurgs and elders and kabar.
168
No, you have to say way of Rasulullah .
169
Today, who wants to stick to the way of the Sahaba ?
170
And who wants to leave that and say, we want to follow Professor Goldstein and this and that.
171
So this seerah will take us away from that.
172
I will mention quickly what books I'm relying upon.
173
And I'm not going to mention all of them.
174
I'll mention some of them.
175
Because I always get this question.
176
What book are you teaching from?
177
Teach from Ar-Rahiq.
178
Teach from this.
179
Well, if I was just going to teach Ar-Rahiq, then I might as well just give you the book.
180
This is not like a book of hadith where I'm going to be making Sharh Hafeir
181
and Takhreed of the Rabayat and things.
182
If you're just going to want to study Sirat al-Nabawiah of Ibn Kathir, then go buy the book.
183
Why are you coming here?
184
The way of the teacher is to take all those resources and bring what is beneficial and bring it to you.
185
That's why you came here.
186
Otherwise, you could Google the book and read it yourself.
187
But from the books that I'm going to use, First, the books of Hadith, the Asliya.
188
The books of Hadith like Bukhari and Abu Dawood and Ibn Majah and Nisa'i and the Musnad and so on, They have Abu Abu al-Maghazi, on the battles of Rasulullah, on the life of Rasulullah.
189
So I'm going to bring those Ahadith.
190
People forget that that's a great resource for us.
191
From it, I'm also going to be using the notes
192
and works of a lot of my own personal teachers whose dhrus I sat in and whose recordings I have.
193
And I benefit from Abu Muhammad and others.
194
May Allah protect them.
195
So I'm going to benefit from those and bring that benefit as well.
196
And I'm going to go to the kutub of tariqh like Bidayah and Nihayah in the seventh volume, Ibn Kathir.
197
He has a lot of the things that will be covered here, they're there.
198
And Seer Alam al-Nubala of Al-Dhahabi and other Iman ulama who talked about the different incident things that happened.
199
And the Seerah of Ibn Kathir that's by itself.
200
Yes, I'm going to benefit from those.
201
But I'm also going to go into some of the earlier books, like the works of Ibn Ishaq with the commentaries and the summary
202
and the expansion and everything that was brought by his student Ibn Hisham.
203
I'm not going to rely solely on any one of these books
204
because every one that I've mentioned and that I will mention has weak narrations.
205
What we're going to try to do in these durus is to stick to the acceptable narrations.
206
What does it mean acceptable?
207
Yes, the Haditha as-Saheha, but also Maqboola.
208
Under this come the Hasan, Hasan Ligayrihi, Saheel Lidathihi, Saheel Ligayrihi.
209
All those that meet that acceptable criteria, we're going to stick to those, inshaAllah, to the best of our ability.
210
From that, there is a book like Iyoon Al-Athar, and this is Finoon Al-Maghazi,
211
and this is very early on with the shemail and the seerah of ibn sayyid al-Nas,
212
Zadul Ma'adaf ibn al-Qayyim to bring a lot of the benefits of the fiqh of the seerah,
213
Mawahib, the famous very classic book of Qastelani with the shahr of Zurgani,
214
I'm going to be depending on the Mukhtasar of the seerah of Sheikh Muhammad ibn al-Wahhab
215
and the Sahih bin al-Seerah of Sheikh Albani and Lu'lu'al-Maknoon,
216
this is a very beautiful book by al-Sheikh Musa There are many other books for resources here,
217
like contemporary books, like Al-Seerah al-Nabawiyah al-Sahihah of Dr. Akram Al-Amri,
218
Al-Seerah al-Nabawiyah fi Dua'al-Masadir al-Asliya of Ustad al-Doktor al-Mahdi, Rizqallah Ahmad al-Rahik al-Makhtoom, no doubt,
219
of Safiyo al-Rahman, Mubarak Puri, with the Ta'liq of al-Mallah, which goes over some of the weak narrations in it and so on.
220
Sahih al-Musnad min Dalal Nabuwa of Sheikh Muqbil and the original work of Dalal Nabuwa of Al-Bayhaqi,
221
Mukhtasar Al-Seerah and others that have been more contemporations.
222
Hadal Habib Al-Ahbab of Sheikh Al-Bakr Desiree and many other books.
223
Not one of these books, but I'm going to be going through all these books
224
and finding those narrations and checking them and putting them together and putting them forward, inshaAllah ta'ala.
225
When we talk about the seerah and we talk about the nur of huda,
226
the light of guidance that was sent by Allah with the Prophet ﷺ,
227
the hidayah, the risalah.
228
We will not appreciate it until you know about the darkness of jahliyah.
229
You don't appreciate a light until you've been in the dark.
230
You don't appreciate good until you've seen hard.
231
People who have a very comfortable life, they don't appreciate the comfort because they haven't seen hardships.
232
So we're going to begin first with what is related to Rasulullah ﷺ from the beginning of creation
233
and talk about the time of jahaliya
234
and what the Arab were going through at the time when Rasulullah was chosen by Allah to be a messenger,
235
so we can appreciate the light and guidance that Rasulullah was sent with.
236
And I'm going to keep this brief as best as possible.
237
So now, for context, we want to talk about the beginning of creation.
238
Do we know What is the first thing That Allah created
239
Anybody Al-Qalam The pen The arsh Any other opinions
240
But what was the first thing that we know of That Allah created That we know of
241
the law the tablet there are five major opinions amongst the scholars of Islam one
242
that is from the people of Bida so I'm going to mention
243
that and knock it out first the people of Bida they write
244
that the first thing that Allah created is the Lord of the Prophet
245
and what they base this upon is a hadith
246
that is a topic it is a fabrication and
247
if anyone of them watches this video and decides that they want to get brave come, come, marhaban, come, sit down,
248
we'll bring books, we'll show you the kathab inshaAllah, don't just make little videos against me online, come, be a man man
249
so this is out there is an opinion column as i heard from some of the shoe here
250
and there is a hadith in the awala ma khalaq
251
Allah column authentically another opinion al-arsh another The second opinion is Al-Ma'a
252
And the correct opinion is Al-Ma'a wa Al-Arsh Proofs Because I know the brothers who say,
253
Qalam are waiting to jump on me.
254
Farrawaha Imam al-Bukhari.
255
Imam al-Bukhari, he reports.
256
That kan Allah, from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
257
That kan Allah, verily there was Allah wa lam yakin shay'un qablah.
258
And there was nothing before him.
259
وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ And his arsh was on war.
260
ثُمَّ خَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ
261
وَفِي الرَّوَاية وَنَدَى الرَّوَايةِ كَانَ اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يَكُونَ غَيْرُهُ شَيْنَ So there was Allah and there was nothing other than him.
262
And one of the narration there was nothing before him.
263
So first thing to know is that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has always been there.
264
Allah is that great, that azim,
265
that Allah has always been there and will always be there.
266
And before the creation of the Samawati wal-Ard,
267
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala had an arsh on al-maa.
268
Now when we talk about al-maa and how the Samawad, understand we're not talking about a cup of water that you get from your sink.
269
This is deep.
270
This is stuff that the whole universe is made out of.
271
So just take it as it is, because this is the way of the Ahl-Sunna wal-Jama'ah.
272
We accept it as it's reported without saying, well, where did the water come from?
273
Allah ordered it to be.
274
But this hadith tells us that before the Khalaq al-Samawad wal-Ard and everything that's mutallik with it, the Arsh and Al-Ma' was there.
275
So Ibn Abbas, Radhi Allah'anhumma, as Ibn Jarir, has given tarjih to this opinion, and he has reported it from him.
276
And the Shaykhul Islam, Taqyudin Ibn Taymiyyah, and his student Ibn Al-Qayyim in Al-Nuniyah, and my own teachers like Abu Muhammad Al-Bajawari and others have taken,
277
that what is correct is from this, that before any of that creation began, Allah had already created the Arsh and Al-Ma'
278
When the beginning of the creation of that which has to do with the Samawāt and Ard began,
279
then in that phase, the first thing that was created was Al-Qalam.
280
But the Arsh and the Ma was before that.
281
So what is correct?
282
Is the first thing created was Al-Arsh.
283
And we find this in the Quran,
284
in the Quran, We find this Surah Hud, 7th ayah.
285
So when Allah created the Samawati and Ard and everything that's there, before that, the Arsh of Allah was already there.
286
Allah is not in need of the Arsh, understand this.
287
Allah is not in need of the malaika.
288
Allah is not in need of us.
289
Allah is not in need of the samawat or the earth.
290
But Allah has an arsh and a kursi in this because of his grand nature. Because of his honor.
291
This is from the honor of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
292
And the arsh, the throne of Allah is so great that none of us can imagine it.
293
Anything you picture will not match it.
294
Because if you took, Adarad ibn Jarir and others have mentioned, the seven Samawāt, all seven,
295
not just this world, not this solar system, not this galaxy, not this universe, not everything that you see,
296
the lamps, meaning the stars, and all of that in is in the first Sama, Sama'a Dunya.
297
But all seven Samawāt in front of the Arsh of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, is nothing.
298
like a ring in a huge desert.
299
Okay?
300
So understand that these are things that are greater than our imagination, so we stick to what has been reported through the divine sources.
301
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, in the Hadith in Sahih Muslim, He ordered the Qalam.
302
He created the Qalam, and then Allah, the preserved tablet, Allah al-Mafoub, And he ordered it to write.
303
And the Qalam asks Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, what should I write?
304
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala orders the Qalam to write everything that will happen.
305
The Rizq, the life, the death, everything is there.
306
It was always in the knowledge of Allah.
307
The Quran was always with Allah.
308
It's Kalamullah.
309
What will happen?
310
What can happen?
311
What could have happened?
312
What didn't happen?
313
All of that is in the infinite knowledge of Allah.
314
The unimaginable knowledge.
315
That's how great Allah is.
316
But Allah ordered that to be now written.
317
50,000 years.
318
And when we say years, when we say days, when we talk about this, please understand, we're not talking about 24 hours.
319
There is no sun at this time.
320
There is no moon, there is no summer, there is no winter.
321
These are periods.
322
Ayyam, when we look at it, the Arabic word, it means a period of time.
323
So we're not saying from dhuhr to asar and things like this.
324
Whatever Allah means by it, Allah knows best.
325
We stick to the narrations.
326
But 50,000 years before the creation of Samawatt and Ard, Allah already ordained everything.
327
So many of us, subhanAllah, we sacrifice the orders of Allah for that Rizq that Allah wrote for us already.
328
That doesn't mean that we sit around the house and say, Allah will bring my Rizq from the roof, so I'm just going to sit.
329
No, that is not the Sunnah.
330
That is not what has been...
331
We have been obligated to work, study, get education, earn Rizq.
332
But don't think that degree or that job is what gives you risk.
333
That is just the means that Allah has ordained.
334
But if you want to sacrifice the laws of Allah, you want to lie and cheat to earn that risk, you didn't understand this concept.
335
Forget the rest of the dars.
336
You need to watch this part of the video again and again and again.
337
And know that Allah has written everything.
338
What is our job?
339
Obey Allah.
340
Allah has ordained upon us as an ummah to use medicine.
341
Rasulullah s.a.w told us, the way of this ummah to use medicine.
342
So if we get sick, we don't just say, who needs medicine?
343
Allah's our...
344
No, this is our way.
345
Allah has ordained upon us to work.
346
We don't sit around and say, Allah can drop food from the sky, it has happened, we'll talk about it.
347
But that's not the way.
348
That's not...
349
Allah has given you a way, follow that way.
350
Allah has given you boundaries, rights and lefts, halal and haram, what you can do, what you cannot do.
351
Stay within the rest, Nusra is from Allah.
352
Rizq is from Allah.
353
The Fath is from Allah.
354
This is our job.
355
Then, in six days, and again, as I mentioned, these are periods of time.
356
Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, He created the Samawati wa-Ard.
357
And there is a lot here that's not related to a seerah, so I'm going through this briefly.
358
We see that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala ثم استوى إلى السماء و هيا دخان That the sky was like a gas.
359
So from the water Allah ordained there to be a gases, and from those gases these heavenly bodies,
360
these planets and things were formed.
361
And this is something that is in the Quran.
362
We're not rewriting this because scientists are telling us.
363
No, it's in the Quran.
364
Sometimes when you mention the scientific miracles in the Quran, scientific miracles, what does it mean scientific miracles?
365
Scientific miracles, things that were in the Quran that science is getting to recognize today.
366
And if scientists deny it tomorrow, we'll still believe in it.
367
Why?
368
It's in the Quran.
369
Some of our brothers, may Allah protect us, you know.
370
قلت العقل due to the lack of intelligence, they start jumping up jumping up.
371
No brother, don't talk about science.
372
Quran is a book of science and not a science.
373
Like I don't know where you got that little catchphrase.
374
Keep it to yourself.
375
Brother, the Quran is a book of science.
376
Yes, it's a book of guidance.
377
Yes, it's a book of history.
378
There's so much history.
379
It's about the future.
380
There are things that scientists are figuring out.
381
There are Muslim scientists that came up with theories because of what they read in the Quran and so on.
382
All of that is in the Quran.
383
We don't reinterpret the Quran to fit science.
384
No. science no but we do say that many things
385
that allah has told us in the quran scientists later found out
386
and that is one of the miracles to show that this cannot be written by the prophet
387
and whichever person has problems with that it's your problem keep it to yourself
388
allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created the samawati wal ard in six days as we find in surat al-a'raf
389
Inna Rabbakum Allah Alladhi khalaka samawati wal arda fi sitta ti ayyamin Thumma istawa ala al-Arsh
390
Some people get confused about some of the ayat and they think is it six days or eight days
391
because they talk about the creation of the earth
392
and the establishment of the mountain and
393
so on the easy solution I'm just giving a hint here is to look at Saba'ah in the ayah
394
which means that the first two are mentioned the next ayah with the four includes those two and the next mentioned six.
395
It's easy, but sometimes those in da'wah may not know it to understand.
396
Sawa shows that the four mentioned the next ayah include the first two and the two after that is how many?
397
Six.
398
Not eight.
399
There was no confusion amongst the scholars of Islam.
400
Only amongst those Islamophobes that don't know how to read.
401
So, we continue with the creation.
402
And again, this is not a dars about the creation.
403
This is just what, I mean, mutallik by the Nabi .
404
So here, Allah has mentioned in the Hadith, after he created the Samawad and Earth and mountains and all of that,
405
Allah created Jinn and Malaika before Insan.
406
Jinn and Malaika were before Insan.
407
But many of the Imma and Ulema like Shaykh Hussam, Taqyudin, Ibn Taymiya and Ibn Al-Qayyim and others have mentioned that that this whole creation was for insan.
408
Allah made the house first and then put the resident.
409
Look how Allah honored us.
410
Imagine if Allah made you a monkey or a cow or a rat or something like this.
411
And imagine Allah honored you to be insan.
412
Understand what Allah blessed you with and then to be in the best of umam, the ummah of Mustafa .
413
Thank Allah!
414
Allah , He created these creations that He decided to create insan.
415
The hikmah of this and the creed of shaytan and malaykas so much.
416
If I go into it, I'll go into a tangent, it would be worth it, but I won't.
417
We'll stick to the subject.
418
The rest of the creations Allah ordered it, it was made.
419
Except for a few of the creation, Allah honored by making it with his own hands in a way that befits his majesty and honor.
420
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created the Jannah with his own hands.
421
And he created insan with his own hands.
422
How?
423
Allah knows best.
424
The kaifiya, we leave it to Allah.
425
The ma'na is clear.
426
The meaning is clear.
427
We believe in the meaning as it has been reported.
428
But the how of it, Allah knows best.
429
But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, He ordered as we know from the Sahih Hadith, the Malaika to go and the earth was already made.
430
To bring from different parts of the earth, different types of soil, of earth, mud.
431
And these were brought together and mixed with water to be made into a clay.
432
In a way that befits the majesty of Allah.
433
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, He made the shell or the body,
434
the jasad of Adam without the ruh. And it was left.
435
And this is all from Sahih Ahadith I'm summarizing.
436
And it was left and it began to stink.
437
It smelled bad.
438
And this is the jism, the body, the jisab, the shell that we are in.
439
It's such.
440
Have you ever seen a dead person when the ruh is disconnected?
441
Leave it out.
442
Unless they're shuhada or something, leave it out.
443
And then go smell it in a day.
444
Have you ever smelled a body that's not in a freezer, that's been out for a couple of days?
445
I don't know what you were doing when you did that.
446
But you would know that it's a horrible smell.
447
A smell that you can never forget.
448
And that's the reality of this humanly body and this humanly life.
449
Without the ruh, without the soul, it stinks.
450
This body was made out of the earth, the worldly material, so it loves the earth.
451
It has its attachment to the earth.
452
But then Allah will put the Ruh in it.
453
The Ruh is not from the earth, so it doesn't love the earth.
454
When you love worldly things, you love money, you love food, you love everything like this, your body will crave it.
455
But your Ruh will be hurt from it.
456
And when you have Suhud from dunya, when you abstain from the worldly pleasures, your Ruh will become happy,
457
your soul will be happy, your body may become weak from it.
458
When you fast a lot and you pray a lot, you might get aches and pains and headaches and things.
459
Yes, your body doesn't love those things, but your ruh will become happy.
460
And when you go out and make zina and drink alcohol and do all of that, your body may feel pleasure, but wallahi, you will never be happy.
461
Your ruh will never be happy.
462
All these famous actors and rappers and musicians with cars
463
and planes and fame and women or men or whatever animal they're into.
464
With all of the pleasures, with no haram, no restrictions, they live it up.
465
How many of them commit suicide?
466
How many of them do overdoses on drugs?
467
How many are on antidepressant pills?
468
How many of them are seeing psychiatry?
469
How many of them are frustrated, can't sleep at night?
470
Why?
471
With all the pleasures of dunya.
472
But that ruh is not mutmaim.
473
It's not at peace.
474
Shaytan, as mentioned in the authentic narration, he saw this new creation.
475
Iblis is a jinn.
476
Not a malik, not an angel.
477
Angels don't disobey.
478
He's a jinn.
479
But he was a Muslim and his kufr is not what he denies Allah.
480
Of course he knows Allah.
481
His kufr is a kufr of action.
482
But shaitan, he saw this because he used to roam.
483
He saw this skeleton, this shell, this body that smelled and had holes and no roh in it.
484
And he went through it and he made a sound.
485
And he said, this is interesting.
486
He said, if I was assigned on this to misguide this, it would be very easy.
487
It's got a bunch of holes you can get right through them.
488
And there's a very deep meaning to that.
489
It's not just the physical nine holes in our body and things, but there's a lot more to it.
490
But I'm not going to go that way.
491
But look at the fact that Shaytan already was jealous.
492
and he already had this inclination towards wanting to misguide Adam .
493
So Allah made that for him.
494
Some people, they sit in a dars and they want to benefit, Allah will benefit them.
495
Some people sit in a dars and already all they want to do, they want to find faults.
496
Allah will let them find faults even if they don't exist.
497
This is a very important lesson.
498
You will get what you intend.
499
So when shaitan saw this, none of that order for sujood, nothing had happened.
500
He was already inclined towards wanting to misguide us.
501
Here Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
502
he ordered the rooh to be put in Adam.
503
and before that or at
504
that time certain things were ordained as well as the hadith in the musnad of imam ahmad
505
and why this is mutallik with our dars hadith number 20,596 in sasahi hadith
506
when rasoolallah sallallahu was asked mata kunta nabiyya when were you ordained to be a nabi
507
قال صلى الله عليه وسلم وآدم بين الروح والجسد When Adam was between روح and body
508
In another رواية that some people have put forward they said كنت نبيا وآدم بين الماء والطين
509
But this is a weak narration This narration is weak Shaykhullah ibn Taymiyyah said هذه الألفاظ in these words,
510
كذب باطل This is كذب.
511
This is a lie.
512
And this is fabricated.
513
بين الماء والطين.
514
What is صحيح?
515
Is what is mentioned between ال آدم بين الروح والجسد.
516
What does that mean?
517
That does not mean that Rasulullah ﷺ was alive at that time.
518
Or he was walking around as a Nabi.
519
Rather the Nabuwa was ordained at that time.
520
which had already been ordained with what was ordered to the Luhul Mafoov.
521
And this is from the hikmah of Allah that our order is brought in more stages.
522
The Quran was first revealed when Allah revealed His Kalam to Luhul Mafoov.
523
And then it was revealed in one night to Baytul Izzah.
524
And then it was revealed
525
from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala through Jibreel alayhi salam to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam over 23 years of his life.
526
Like this, this is one of the times where the Naboo was ordained.
527
But some people of Bid'a, they take this to mean that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was already there.
528
That is not true.
529
Our Dhrus, our Manhaj is without Gholu.
530
We don't go to an exaggeration.
531
And we don't go to not fulfilling what is Haq of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
532
We stay in the Wasat, in the middle.
533
So here Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was ordained to be a Nabi
534
and Adam alayhi salam at the time was between ruh and jasad, between the ruh and the body coming together.
535
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he made the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as ar-rahma lil alameen.
536
What ar-rahma?
537
And what a mercy?
538
I have to mention this.
539
I know I was going to stop, but I can't.
540
Sorry.
541
What ar-rahma?
542
What a Rahma?
543
What a Rahma?
544
That whoever met the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he became the best of mankind.
545
I mean, after the Anbiya.
546
What a Rahma?
547
If you met the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam as a Muslim,
548
Rasulullah SAW said,
549
The best of mankind is my generation, and then those who follow him.
550
Look at the rahmah of Rasulullah SAW, that just because somebody met the Prophet SAW as a Muslim,
551
them they became the best of a mess I'm gonna go
552
over the time the best of mankind who is the best
553
of Malika Jibreel alaihi salam in the hadith in al-bukhari 3992
554
call Allah salami as Rasulullah salam what do you say about the ahlul badr the people of badr the people
555
that fought alongside Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in Badr.
556
Faqala sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, abdul al-muslimin.
557
They are the best of the Muslims.
558
Faqala al-jibreel, wa kathalika man shahida badran min al-malaiqa.
559
He said the same is true for the malaiqa that were there in Badr.
560
They are the best of them.
561
Look at the rahma.
562
The people who met Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam became the best of people with Iman.
563
And the malaika that stood with Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam became the best of malaika.
564
Whoever follows this Ummah, whoever is in this Ummah is the best of Ummah.
565
You are the best of nations.
566
Why?
567
Because you are from the Ummah of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
568
So we hope that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gives us Tawfiq
569
to study the life of the best of mankind and to appreciate that life in the light of authentic narrations.
570
Jazakumullahu khair.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
