Seerah of the Prophet PBUH Series The First Pledge of Aqabah

my i'm sure he's going to be with me all the way as of last session of course that's because ustad abdullah don't care what call you got you are not going i'm not going anywhere if you see huncle that means i'm not going for you so this is not to start with allah make yes so just just reminder when you left me behind was talking about maharaja yeah yes and he spoke about the maharaj how prophet sallallahu came back with the gift of the salah from 50 to 5 salah that we have to do every single day now continue with the story over from here where how islam spreads i'll let you continue it starts with the the story starts with the first pledge of aqaba yeah the following year 12 ansar attended the festival festival in makkah they met the messenger of allah and gave him their pledge the first pledge of akava that they would believe in one god abstain from theft fornication and killing children and obey him in what was right and proper when they left the messenger messenger of allah sent musab ibn umed with them he commanded him to read the quran to them to preach islam and to instruct them in the religion he also led them in prayers he was called the reader in madina where he stayed with assad subhanallah you know ustad abdullah so the the the the whole thing about you know in medina yatrim okay so you as we know from the history of islam and how people were attached to makkah that people would come to makkah to do the rituals yes now from throughout the whole you know peninsula right so what happens in madinah which is yet which is also known as there was two main tribes yes okay yes now these were always fighting each other and they were very strong as well strong characters but they were always quarreling fighting wars etc they've had their fair share of bitterness so they they came to makkah some of them will come to makkah for the rituals to visit the kaaba and everything at this time rasulullah the opportunity to speak to them and think in the first first time they there's about six people right which grew later on six he spoke to them about islam he explained to them about islam and you know what the amazing thing was they already had this knowledge of not islam they had certain knowledge of allah because remember from the jews from the yes from the jews so the jewish people were living already in madina and the jewish people would speak to the people of yatrib and tell them that we are here because the last messenger is going to come to us and they had already heard about one god they've heard about messenger yes so now when they met rasulullah they met rasulullah and in that period they actually thought you know what we've heard about we've heard about these signs yes you're right yeah we've heard about these signs and they were very interested and it it made sense to them right it made sense to them so you know heard about the seal and the preached to them they kind of accepted what rasulullah they accepted the word of rasulullah so they went back to islam so like you mentioned the name wasab so he is the first ambassador of islam to teach them to teach yes so rasulullah some sent him and there's an amazing story about just him himself which inshallah whenever we get some time next year yeah inshallah so he he was sent as messenger so you know we learn from this that the first ambassador of islam is his name he was sent to medina and he was told to teach the people of madina he was told to teach the people of madina about allah his rasool etc now you know the the the funny thing about all this is yeah he when he was preaching in madina the people of madina started to get interested in islam so even in the tribes right the leaders some of them were like what's going on you know there's this guy who's come yes yes and he's talking to people about islam i'm learning as well and you're telling me yes and you know what so one of the leaders of madina the tribe's tribesmen he says he sends his messenger and he says go to musa and find out what he's teaching yes right and stop him yes so he comes and when he comes he sees musab numer right yeah preaching and he says to musab numero what are you preaching you know why you making the minds of our people why are you changing their minds yeah so you know he tells them about islam he says okay will tell you about islam says i'll tell you what i'm preaching if you don't like it that's fine yes i'll leave but if you like it maybe you want to choose it so when he explains that to the messenger yes the messenger the person that came to threaten him he says he became muslims he became muslim yeah yeah and it doesn't even end there listen to this he becomes muslim yes he goes back to this prominent who's sahaba but who becomes prominent sahaba right he goes to him that went and told him and i've actually accepted this time so he just open your heart towards the and then automatically you'll accept so that's the beauty of history so he goes now tell me you know why are you preaching why are you making our people you know change their faith you know why don't you listen to me preaching people were started to become wow the the treaty of aqaba is the place that they met in aqaba right the first time that's where rasulullah spent some time with them right and he explained to them about islam that's why it's called the and then there were some conditions we want you know fornicate we want sin we want to etc and one of the conditions we won't kill children can you imagine and why why is that there because at that time these things used to go on they used regular basis not children not only when say children listen let's clarify exactly what we mean they used to kill their daughters the arabs used to kill their daughters and if you inshallah when we get the time we will tell you story about famous story when companion of the prophet sallallahu alaihi tried to rasulullah about what he did yes yes and even the time of university didn't want to do it yeah well because it was the norm and the tradition so you know this was the first treat well when the the treaty of akaba when they gave allegiance to rasulullah that they will refrain from all these things so us this teaches us lesson many lessons that how does islam even come to us through the beauty of islam just the heart the heart is soft if your heart accepts it then then it's you know automatically you'll understand why islam is but if your heart's not open towards it it doesn't matter what you do you cannot accept it but just open your hearts people and then then you'll see how islam just sits in your heart and how you understand the religion the beautiful religion of allah you know and may allah give us the tawfiq inshallah to understand the religion properly especially to the non-muslims if they if they just open their hearts bit inshallah they will automatically accept like shakespeare's told us about how the leaders leaders accepted islam just like that one after another one after another because they just opened the heart of it that's all they have to do so open your hearts people and then you'll see how you accept this beautiful religion foreign
