Seerah 3

Summary by Farah
Religious background of Arabia.

Dawah Ismaeel, was started on tauheed. Started as moslems, then what went wrong in
the path? Why then in Arabia there are some religions?
In the Time of rosul there were 3 religions in Arabia: idol worshipping, christianity, judaisms.
How these 3 religions came into existance?
Amr bin luhay khuza'I, leader of khuza'a, this man very generous very respected by his people.
He is the first person who brought Bid'ah (New inventions related to the religion matters), he
travelled to Syria (but it's not the correct translation, because what they meant was syams
which was siria falestian Lebanon n Jordan central syam is jerusalam) from mecca. He was the
prominent person, anything he said became law.
People of syria have some Intermediates between them n Allah, if they want something
there will be an idol as intercessor. They think that this idol performs things for them. It
depends on the purpose. There would be an idol for each purpose.
Amr asked one of the idols for him to be carried on back to mecca. the heaviest, he
carried to Mecca. This idol was called as Hubal. He told people of mecca that this idol as an
intercede to Allah. All of them were exposed to this new bidah invasion in religion. It became a
business. they exported the idols to another tribes. It was bcoz they couldn't visit hubal, so they
would rather sell it and take it by themselves as Portable idols. They duplicated the idols and
sold them.

Umr bin khatab was once seen Crying n laughing.

Why was he crying?
He remembered in the time of ignorance when he was Travelling n wanted to pray, but he
forgot to bring his god, he cried. Then, he formed the dates as an idol, but theeen in the night
he was hungry, n he ate them. The dates that has now been transformed as his God. Umar
remembering that day and said "How could i do that?" See how islam has the power to change
people.
He could have been prominent leader from Quraisy, Or he could have died before islam, bcoz
he drank much.

Idols were being exported, diff. idols for diff. purposes. Ka'bah now surrounded with 360 idols,
shirk now was in every direction in Mecca. This how religion of Ishmaeel changed.
Rosul saw Amr bin Luhay in hell fire. –I have seen amr bin luhay khuza'I dragging his entrails his
intestines , goin around a hellfire trying to pull them back in his stomach.
King yaman, Tuban As'Ad, traveling to do business in assyam n passed Madinah. And he
left his son in Madinah until he came back from Syria. His son had a problem with people of
Madinah until his son killed. He decided to destroy Madinah. His army was overwhelming
comparing with small army of Madinah. He could've crushed his position. 2 jew rabbis came out
of madinah. Jews dispersed when the romans destroyed jerussalem. some of them who came
to arabia, they searched the promise land, they saw the signs in madinah and in few other
places. Resembling the signs that the last prophet will be sent. banu qunaiqo, nadhir,quraizoh.
They were Ethnically jews. When roman sacked Jerusalem.
2 jews rabbis told to tuban as'ad , Allah will destroy you if u destroy this place. They
were able to convince tuban as'ad until tuban as'ad not only agreed to withdraw his army n
stop attacking Madinah, but he also eagered to accept judaism as his faith. He invited these 2
rabbis to yaman, he became jews. On his way south, heading back to yemen, the tribe of
hawazin, they had a problem with quraisy. So they made fitna to start division between tabban
as'ad and mecca and they succeeded. Tabanasaad planning to attack Mecca. 2 rabbis told him,
it's another town that is protected by Allah. In fact you should go to mecca n make tawaf
around kakbah, said the 2 rabbis.
Taban saad was the first person to clothe Ka'bah. One a year, he kept one piling up one
cloth on the other, until it's too heavy n they decided to just use one cloth. Taban saad let the
yamanis choose their religion, n most of them will go with jews .
 That’s the history why there are 2 types of jews in Arabia, 1 st: ethnic jews khaibar n
madinah. 2nd: Jews By conversion in Yaman (ethnically arab but they adopted jews as their
faith).
That was how jews spread among the arabs. What about Christianity now?
Isa, chritianity was divided into many sects, some of them became non believers. One of
them were believers, believe in only worshipping Allah alone.
One of this men (a Christian) made it into yemen, he preached, by that time Son of
taban is dzhu nawas ruled the yemen, taban has died. But the king banned n persecuted the
followers.
In sahih muslim, The king used to deal a magic.
His magician prepared for the next generation of him knowing he would pass away, to inherit
his skill to someone else.
Long story short, they handpicked a young man, This young man on his way towards the
sorcerer. He saw church of tawheed, he was very impressed but he was supposed to learning by
the sorcerer. The priest told him, when You leave your home come to me first and study with
me, n if u are late to sorcerer tell him it was bcoz your parents, and the way back home if your
parents ask you, tell them it was bcoz the sorcerer.
This young man, Ghulam, being confused between the Priest or the sorcerer, later on he
prayed "show me the truth ya Allah". He threw the rock by name of Allah to the beast caused
chaos. And he did it.
The priest telling him that he will be tested. No one will reach the higher status without being
tested by Allah. The priest told this young man, "you will be tested.once you are tested don't
disclose my name". it's not bcoz of he was coward, but for the sake of dawah (the security).

The priest is Courageous and wise.

The associate of the king was blind. He came to this young man. Bcoz now he was the expert.
But this young man said I can not heal you, Allah will cure you. Until he was cured, this man told
the king that Allah cures me. He was investigated, now the boy under arrest and can not bear
the pain, he disclosed the priest, n told the priest to give up, but he stayed his ground he didn't
give up his religion eventhough he got tortured until he gave up his life.

Karomah (miracles happen to non prophet )sent to the boy

This boy made dua, o Allah take care of them the way you want. Allah made them top to the
cliff , n nothing safe only this boy .
The boy went back to the king, n the king sent another troops,
On the sea, he recited the same dua again. O Allah take care of them they way you want, and all
of them drawn except this boy.
He went again to the king, king was ready to send the third. The boy said, u won't be
able unless you do as what i say to you, tell me what? U tie me to the tree and gather everyone
bring and arrow n say Bismillah robbil ghulam, you will be able then to kill me. The arrow hit
him
Obviously it's not a daleel to justify suicide bombs . He gave up his life as for dawah.
Instruct the army to dig trenches, burn them alive for believers, an infant said to her mom, b
patient bcoz u r follow the true path. 3 infants that could apeak.
Buruj. People of the trench.
The Muslim is victorious, but they burnt alive, how come? Lost worldly standard but still
called gain victory. Even they not survive in the Dunya, but they can still firm of their fath...
that's the eternal battle they have won it. Great victory.

1person who was survived. He traveled to Roman empire. Roman has adopted trinity,
he told the roman. The roman said, we were too far from yaman, go to annajasy, he sent an
army ar riyadh infaded yaman, zu nawas he killed them self. Jump to the red sea.
Abasunyan revenge of the christian to the jews in yaman. Divided, they were fighting
arriyadh n abrahah. Arriyadh said if we kill each other people of land will be taken over, so let's
man to man. Abrahah agreed, he made secret agreement with some of his security guard.If u
