INCIDENT OF ABRAHAH IS A MIRACLE THAT THE QURAN REFERS TO A PROTECTION OF THE KAABAH, AND A PROTECTION OF THE PROPHET (SALALLAHU ALAYHI WA SALLAM)
Primary wisdom we can extract is:
Status of the Kabah in the eyes of the Arabs
Part of manhood is to defend what
you believe to be sacred.
Traitors and cowards are always
despised.
The blessed lineage of the Prophet.
The two who were ransomed
The protection of the Prophet
(SAAWS) even before birth
Divine wisdom

Amir Yunasthis is ~3000 yrsbefore nabi.tribe of jurhum comes - sees well, and asked permissionto settle there. Ismail grew up with tribe of jurhumand offspring from ismail and jurhum tribe. Jurhum - filled well with sand / jewels. to cover it fromthe attacking tribe.its said abdulmuttalib was of the hunafaa'
Amir Yunasmade oath, to keep zamzam. zabh abu talib and abdullah from same mother.abdullah not youngest. Abdullah was saved for 100 camels. Abdullahdied on way back from yathrib, fellsick and died. now part of sharia.blood money - 100 camelsNabi - son of the 2 who were ransomed.
Amir Yunas
Amir Yunasabraha - governor of yemen. close ties w/ syria. wrote letterto najashi - "my church so beautiful, no arabs will go to their house in the sand."arabs insulted by abraha and defacated on cathedral.20 elephants charging.in taif - abraha sent messengers to makkah. "no issue with arabs,issue is with the ka'ba. he captured 200 camels to feed to armyand these were.Tall,Muscular, Handsome man. Abraha impressed by his figure, andhe stood up on platform out of respect, and sits with abdul-mutalib*standing up for principles - earns respect. if you stand up forcause, even if you hate the cause, deserves admiration.he got camels back. went back and made dua to Allah, and went tonearby mountains and weaited for them to attack.

Amir YunasWisdom - Abraha was Christian and Mushrikun were pagans, so nobody is upon true religion of tawhid. so Allah defended Himself. sign that no one on correct din to defend the kaba.

Amir YunasProphet married all daughters to Qurayshi family. 2 daughters married to abu lahab's sons. preislam.
- trick fiqh questions What is one act of worship, only you can do, and nobody on earth can do it. kissing black stone.
- deriving lessons from fiqh, relevance of today. -best book in English for seerah
seerah narrations are weak and accepted for reasons:1. tabie' narrates it. so let it go, it's a story2. stories by human nature are embellished and people like to hear details anyways.3. doesn't establish halal/aqeedah.
pious fabrication:man fabricated hadith - "I saw people reading ibn ishaaq and muwatta malik, and leaving quran, so I wanted people to go back to the Quran."
Qaraamitha Shia - attacked makkah, killed in haram, stole black stone. returned to bahrain, and 22years, black stone gone. Then stone was ransomed for large sum of money.1979 - Juhayman's attack on ka'ba. H - days of mehdi - he will refuge in ka'ba, and army will attack ka'ba. *Only muslims allowed to attack ka'ba.Ka'ba destroyed when no more muslims on earth. a descendent of Abraha.zhul suwayqataan - come and destroy ka'ba. after isa, and dajjal. this is when dogs and wolves roaming the ka'ba, and this is the last day before day of judgement.

Pre-Prophethood
Fostering:It was the custom of elite of Makkah to
send their children to be raised in the
desert:
To be raised in a pure and healthy
environment
Away from the plagues and diseases
of the city
To build their stamina and make
them adjusted to rough life
To avoid pampering
To make them fluent in the Arabic of
the desert.

SHEPHERD:
NO PROPHET HAS EVER BEEN SENT EXCEPT THAT HE USED TO BE A SHEPHERD OF SHEEP
Men need to be shepherded as well
Dedication and maturity
Simplicity of lifestyle
Humbleness and humility
FIJR WARS AND THE TREATY:
Evil war between Kinnah and awzin
Treaty to uphold rights of those who
had been wronged
The Prophet (SAAWS) did not regret
participating in this war
Social problems that transcend
religion
The status that the Prophet
(SAAWS) occupied even as a young

! Allah will never humiliate you in this manner. you establish kin, help needy, and poor, hospitable to guest, and do all types of good. Khadijah knows before islam, if you are good, Allah will be good to you. *who's he helping? idolworshippers and nonmuslims. humanitarian deeds.many men perfected iman. only 4 women perfected iman.
went to her uncle, Waraqah - said, "that was Naamus (keeper of secrets)." Carries secrets between Allah and prophets. Waraqah cried and said, "Oh how I wish I was a young man now, so that I could help your cause and support you when your nation will expel you?Never prophet came, except his people rejected him.
time period before 2nd for 2nd wahy - . "Oh you who is covered up." cuz he asked for khadija to cover him again. .. divine eloquence in 6-7 ayat. methodology of dawah outlined. ulama say, nabi at iqra, and became rasul with mudathir. 1st convert - khadijah.Progressives - Khadijah believed in him before The Prophet. so she became muslim before the prophet.2nd convert - Waraqah bin Nawfal - dawah wasn't presented to him, he understood what happenedand he believed immediately.3rd convert - Ali at 7 yrs old, living in house of Nabi and Khadijah.4th convert - 1st adult to convert at age 37 after waraqah. H - nabi - not a single person talked to bout islam except that he had to think about it except for Abu Bakr.Zaid ibn Haritha - "adopted son" of Nabi. freed slave by Nabi. chose to stay with the Prophet over his own father. Umm Ayman - slave of amina in household of nabi, and married to zaid ibn haritha. and they have Usama ibn zaid raised in nabi's household. Most early converts came through hands of Abu Bakr and Uthman. Zubair ibn Awwam - cousin of nabi.ibn mas'ud - yemeni slave. 6th convert to islam. converted after seeing milking of barran she-goat.Nabi gave dawah to those receptive to it. -- man from Yemen. I knew man on misguidance, I heard a man preaching something else. this is within 2-3 years of the da'wah. talked to him icebreaking. he asked, "what are you?" He said, " " - to fulfill ties of kinship, break idols, Allah be unified and no partners be associated with him." "Who is with you?" "Free man and a slave" - "abu bakr and bilal". not literally just to show a few people. "Can't do that now, but when message apparent, come in. He came to medinah 15 yrs. later and then became muslim.
No problems at all in 1st 3 years of dawah. no confrontations and causing problems with quraysh.majority of converts - low class and poor.1. wealth barrier to truth2. more arrogance.

Amr b. Abasah, who narrates, I knew
in the days of Jahilliyah that mankind
was upon misguidance and they were
worshipping idols. So I heard that a man
in Makkah was saying (something else),
went to him, found him hiding (i.e., not
apparent) from his people. I was gentle
and managed to enter in upon him, and
asked him:
What are you?
He replied, A nabi.
I said, And what is a Nabi?
Allah has sent me.
With what?
To fulfill the ties of kinship, and to break
idols, and that Allah be unified and no
partners associated with him.
Who is with you?
A freeman and a slave.
So I desired to help him, but the Prophet
(SalAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam)
responded, You will not be able to do so
right now. Do you not see my status and
the status of the people? But go back
home, and when you hear that I have
become known then come to me.
And when Amr heard of the Prophet
(SAAWS) in Madinah, he came to him
and asked him, Do you remember me?
He said, Yes, you were the one who
came to me in Makkah.

(protection of nabiwas tribalism and honor can't kill fellow member)He talks to Nabi cuz political position threatened.talked to nabi."Don't see the sun outside?

Question: Why did the early
immigrants return? Response:
Rumors that the Makkans had
converted.
Basis of rumor?
CONCLUSION OF SURAH AL-NAJM
Nay, is he not acquainted with what is
in the Books of Moses, And of Abraham
who fulfilled his engagements? Namely,
that no bearer of burdens can bear the
burden of another, and that man can
have nothing but what he strives for, for
the fruit of his striving will soon come
in sight, Then will he be rewarded with
a reward complete. And indeed to thy
Lord is the final Goal. For He it is Who
granteth Laughter and Tears; And He it
is Who granteth Death and Life; And He
did create (everything) in pairs,-male
and female, From a seed when lodged
(in its place); And that He hath
promised a Second Creation (Raising of
the Dead); And it is He Who giveth
wealth and satisfaction; And it is He
Who is the Lord of Sirius (the Mighty
Star); And it is He Who destroyed the
(powerful) ancient 'Ad (people), And
the Thamud, for He did not cause them
to remain. And before them, the people
of Noah, for that they were (all) most
unjust and most insolent transgressors,
And He destroyed the Overthrown
Cities (of Sodom and Gomorrah). So
that (ruins unknown) have covered
them up. Then which of the Signs of thy
Lord, (O man,) wilt thou dispute about?
This is a Warner, of the (likes of the)
Warners of old! The (Judgment) ever
approaching, draws nigh: None but Allah
can lay it bare. Do ye then marvel at
this recital? And will ye laugh and not
weep, Wasting your time in vanities? But
rather, fall ye down in prostration to
God, and adore (Him)!
IBN ABBSS REPORT IN AL-
BUKHR
Name given by Orientalist scholars
Incident not reported in any of the Six Books, or in Ibn Isq:
Have you not seen al-Lt, and al-Uzz? And the third of them, Mant? These are the pious idols, and their intercession is indeed worthy of being hoped for.
Two versions of the incident
Recited by Prophet (SAAWS) himself
Recited by Shayn
Considered weak by Ibn Kathr, Qai Iyaad, al-Albn.
Second version considered authentic by Ibn ajr and Ibn Taymiyyah.
APPEARS TO BE WEAK FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
First version contradicts our theology.
No narration from a Companion...
No authentic book of adth mentions these details
Version of al-Bukhr self-explanatory
Of the strongest proofs: context of the verses.

The Boycott
PRELUDE:
Makkans felt the power of Islam rising, threat increased, especially
through conversions of:- amza b. Abd al-Mualib
- Umar b. al-Khab
IBN MASD SAID, WE HAVE EVER-REMAINED IN HONOR AFTER UMAR CONVERTED TO ISLAM; WE WERE NOT ABLE TO PRAY IN THE HARAM UNTIL UMAR ACCEPTED ISLAM. THEN, AFTER HE ACCEPTED ISLAM, HE FOUGHT THEM UNTIL THEY ALLOWED US TO PRAY.
The Boycott
Demand to hand over the Prophet (SAAWS)
Agreement to enact social boycott upon the Ban Hshim
Boycott lasted for 2-3 years
Benefits
Patience and sacrifice of Muslims.
Amazing to see the strong ties of kinship amongst the Banu Hshim.

The Treaties of Aqabah
PRE- AQABAH ATTEMPTSThe Prophet (SAAWS) would go from tribe to
tribe, and explain to them the teachings of
Islam. He would then say, Who will take me to
your people, for verily the Quraysh have
prevented me from spreading the speech of my
Lord. O tribe of so-and-so, I am the messenger
of Allah to you. He has commanded that you
worship Him alone, and not associate partners
with Him, and that you leave all that you
worshipped besides Him. And He has
commanded you that you believe in me, and
help me so that I can call others to that which
Allah has commanded me to And he would
also proclaim, O Mankind, say la ilaaha illa
Allah, you will be succesful.
O MANKIND, SAY LA ILAAHA ILLA ALLAH, YOU WILL BE SUCCESFUL.
The First Treaty of AqabahThe composition of the city of Yathrib:
In the 11th year of the prophethood, six
people from the Khazraj sat with the Prophet
(SAAWS). In the 12th year of the
prophethood, ten men from the Khazraj and 2
from the Aws met with the Prophet (SAAWS)
at a place known as Aqabah.
The First Treaty:
Ubadah ibn as-Samit, who was one of those
who took this covenant, narrated, The
Prophet (*) said to us that we should make a
covenant with him not to commit shirk, or
steal, or fornicate, or kill our children, or bring
forth any evil openly, or disobey him in any
good. And whoever did so, his rewards would
be with Allah, and whoever did anything, and
was covered up by Allah, would be left to Allah;
if He willed he would punish him and if not he
would forgive him. So we all gave him this
oath.

7. And the Sunnah with us are the aathaar (narrations) of
8. the Messenger of Allaah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and the Sunnah explains
and clarifies the Quraan
9. It is the guide to the Quraan [containing evidences and indications as to its
meanings and correct interpretations.
10.There is no analogical reasoning in the Sunnah and examples or likenesses
are not to be made for it
11.Nor is it grasped and comprehended by the intellects or the desires.
12.Rather it [consists of] following [and depending upon] it and abandoning the
hawaa [desire].
13.And it is from the binding and necessary Sunnah, (the Sunnah) which
whoever leaves a single matter from it, has not accepted it [in its totality], has
not believed in it and is not from its people

16.And whoever does not know the explanation of a hadeeth and (whose]
intellect [does not have the capacity] to make him understand it, then that
would be sufficient (i.e., to just merely affirm the ahaadeeth and have faith in
them] since [everything from the religion] has been perfected for him. And it is
necessary for him to have faith in it and to submit to it, such as the hadeeth of
the truthful, the believed and whatever is similar to it in the matter of al-Qadar
17.And also like the ahaadeeth regarding the Ruyah (the Believers seeing of
Allaah in the Hereafter), all of them, even if they disagree with peoples
hearing and [even] if the one who is listening to them feels repelled by and is
averse to them.
18.Certainly, it is obligatory upon him to have faith in them and not to reject a
single word from them nor from other [such] Ahaadeeth, which have been

[about how to make] argumentation [in such matters]
20.For indeed, (indulging in) theological rhetoric (kalaam) in the matter of
Qadar, the Ruyah, the Quraan and other such issues are among the ways
that are detested and which are forbidden
21.The one Who does so, even if he reaches the truth with his words, is not
from Ahlus-Sunnah, until he abandons (using) thismode of argumentation,
[and until he] submits and believes in the aathaar (the Prophetic Narrations
and those of the Companions

22.And the Quraan is the Word of Allaah. It is not created . And he
should not be too weak to declare it is not created and that the Word
of Allaah is not (something) distinct and separate from Him (i.e., an
entity in itself] and that not a single thing from it is created
23.And beware of argumentation with the one who innovates in this
matter and says that his recitation of the Quraan is created and other
such claims
24.And whoever hesitates in this matter and says, I do not know
whether it is created or not created. It is but the Word of Allah. Then
he is a person of innovation and he is just like the one who says, It is
created- Indeed it is the Word of Allaah and it is not created.

25.To have faith in the Ruyah (that Allaah will be seen) on the Day of
Judgement has been reported from the Prophet (swallallahu alaihi wasallam)
in the authentic ahaadeeth
26.And that the Prophet (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) saw his Lord since this
has been transmitted from the Messenger of Allaah (swallallahu alaihi
wasallam) and is correct and authentic
27.And the hadeeth, in our estimation, is to be taken by its apparent meaning
(alaa dhaahirihi), as it has come from the Prophet (swallallahu alaihi
wasallam). And indulging in theological rhetoric with respect to it is an
innovation. But we have faith in it as it came, upon its apparent meaning and
we do not dispute with anyone regarding it

of Judgement and he will not be equal in weight to the wing of a fly
29.And the actions of the servants will be weighed just as has been reported in
the narration. To have faith in it and to attest to its truthfulness and to turn
away from whoever rejects that and to abandon argumentation with him

40.And the best of this ummah after its Prophet (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) is
Aboo Bakr as-Siddeeq then Uthmaan Ibn aI-Khattaab then Uthrnaan ibn
Affaan
41.We give precedence to those three just as the Companions of the
Messenger of Allaah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) gave precedence to them.
They [the Companions] never differed in that
42.Then after those three, the five Companions of the shoora: Alee ibn Abee
Taalib, az-Zubair, Talhah, Abdur- Rahmaan ibn Awf and Sad ibn Abee
Waqqaas , each of them was fitting and appropriate for khilaafah and each of
them was an Imaam (leader)
43.In this regard we take the hadeeth of Ibn Umar , We used to consider, while
the Messenger of Allaah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) was alive and his
Companions widespread: Aboo Bakr [to be first], then Umar, then Uthmaan -
and then we remained quiet.

44.Then after the five companions of the shooraa are the people who fought in
Badr from among the Muhaajiroon. And then those who fought in Badr from
among the Ansaar, from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah
(swallallahu alaihi wasallam). [each ones rank is] according to his migration
and precedence [in the religion]
45.Then the most superior of mankind after these: the Companions of the
Messenger of Allaah (swallallahu alaihi wasallam), the generation in which he
was sent. Everyone who accompanied him, whether for a year, a month, a
day, an hour or (just merely] saw him, then he is from among his
Companions. His companionship is according to the extent to which he
accompanied him, [and to the extent to which] he had precedence in being
with him, heard from him and looked at him

46.So the closest of them in companionship to him are more excellent than the
generation, which did not see him, even if they met Allaah with all the [good]
actions. Despite that, those who accompanied the Prophet (swallallahu alaihi
wasallam), saw him and heard from him [are superior]
47.And whoever saw him with his eyes, and believed in him, even if for an hour,
is more excellent, on account of this companionship [with the Prophet
(swallallahu alaihi wasallam)], than the Taabieen, even if they (the Taabieen]

Mumineen, whether righteous or sinful, from among those who come into
power with the khilaafah and with respect to whom the people have agreed
and united themselves and are pleased with him

50.Participation in battles along with the leaders [umaraa], be they righteous or
sinful, is an everlasting affair up [i.e. always operative] until the Day of
Judgement. It is never to be abandoned. (Likewise] the division of the spoils
of war anappointing the rulers [aimmah] to establish the prescribed
punishments (hudood) are [both) everlasting. It is not permissible for anyone
to rebuke them or to contend with them [i.e. the rulers]
51.Also, handing over the charity to them (the Rulers] is permissible and always
operative (in effect]. Whoever gives the charity to them then that will suffice
him [i.e., his obligation will have been fulfilled], whether righteous or sinful

52.And performing the Jumuah prayer behind him (the Ruler] and behind
whomever he appoints is (a) permissible and perfect [act] and (consists of]
two rakahs. Whoever repeats them (after praying behind him] is an innovator,
one who abandons the narrations and an opposer of the Sunnah. He receives
nothing [of reward) from the excellence of his [attendance of] the Jumuah
prayer, if he does not accept and hold that prayer is to be observed behind
the leaders, whomever they may be, the righteous amongstthem and the
sinful amongst them
53.So the Sunnah is that he prayers two rakahs with them. [Whoever repeats
them is an innovator] and that he acknowledges that they are perfect and
complete, not having any doubt in his heart regarding that

54.And whoever revolts against a leader from among the leaders of the
Muslims, after the people had agreed upon him and united themselves behind
him, after they had affirmed the khilaafah for him, in whatever way this
khilaafah may have been, by their pleasure and acceptance or by (his] force
and domination [over them], then this revolter has disobeyed the Muslims,
and has contradicted the narrations of the Messenger of Allaah (swallallahu
alaihi wasallam). And if the one who revolted against the ruler died he would
have died the death of ignorance
55.And the killing of the one in power is not lawful, and nor is it permissible for
anyone amongst the people to revolt against him. Whoever does that is an
innovator, (and is] upon other than the Sunnah and the [correct] path

56.Fighting against the thieves and the revolters (khawaarij) is permissible. That is, when they set upon a man with respect to his person and his wealth. It is then permissible for him to fight (and defend] himself and his property and to repel [the thieves and the revolters] from them both [i.e. himself and his property] with everything that is within his capacity
57.But it is not permissible for him, when they depart from him or abandon him, that he seeks them (i.e. to find them]. Nor should he follow their tracks and this is not [permissible] for anyone other than the Imaam or those charged with authority over the Muslims
58.It is only for him to defend himself in his own place and he should intend, by his striving against them, that he will not kill anyone. But if he kills him whilst defending himself in the battle, then Allaah will make the one killed far removed [from Himself and from any goodness]. And if he is killed in that state, whilst he is defending himself and his property, then I hope that it is martyrdom for him, as has occurred in the hadeeth
59.And all of the narrations in this regard have ordered with fighting him but did not order killing him, nor pursuing him and nor finishing him off should he fall to the ground or become wounded
60.And if he took him as a captive he should not kill him and should not carry out the prescribed punishment against him, but rather, he should raise his matter to whomever Allaah has appointed and given authority so that he may judge in the matter
61.And we do not testify for anyone from among the people of the qiblah, on account of an action that he has done, that he is in Paradise or in Hell-Fire. We have hope for the righteous one and we fear for him and we fear for the evil and sinful person and we hope in the mercy of Allaah for him

62.And whoever meets Allaah with a sin, which would necessitate the Fire for
him, having repented, not returning back to it and [not] being insistent upon it
then Allaah, [the Mighty and Magnificent] will turn to him (inforgiveness). And
63.Allaah accepts 71 repentance from His servants and forgives the evil actions
64. And whoever meets Him after having had the prescribed punishment meted
out to him for that [particular] sin in this world, then that would be its expiation
as occurs in thenarration from the Messenger of Allaah (swallallahu alaihi
wasallam)
65.And whoever meets him having persisted upon, and not repented from the
sins which necessitate punishment, then his affair is with Allaah [the Mighty
and Magnificent] if He wills He will punish Him and if He wills He will forgive
him

worships other than Him [inwardly], [but] he manifests lslaam openly such as
the hypocrites in the time of the Messenger of Allaah (swallallahu alaihi

71.And his (swallallahu alaihi wasallam) saying, in whomsoever there are three
(characteristics I he is a hypocrite is an intensification [in expression] we
report it as it has come and we do not explain it. And [likewise] his saying, Do
not become disbelievers after me, [astray] striking the necks of each
other.And, When two Muslims meet with their swords then [both]the killer
and the killed are in the Fire.And, Cursing a Muslim is wickedness and
fighting against him is disbelief. And, Whoever says to his brother, 0
Disbeliever, then it returns back to one of them. And, It is disbelief in Allaah,
the one who denies his kinship, even if it is insignificant (i.e. remote].And

(Kawthur) ...And, I looked into Hell-Fire and I saw that most of its inhabitants
were women.And, I looked into the Fire and 1 saw such and such
74.So whoever claims that they [Paradise and Hell-Fire] are not created then he
is a denier of the Quraan and the ahaadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah
(swallallahu alaihi wasallam) and 1 do not consider that be believes in
Paradise and Hell-Fire
75.And whoever dies from among the people of the qiblah as a muwahhid (one
testifying to the unity and uniqueness of Allaah in His Lordship His right of
worship and in His Names and Attributes) then prayer is performed over him
and forgiveness is sought for him
76.Seeking forgiveness is not to be withheld from him [i.e. it should not be
abandoned for him] and we do not abandon Praying over him on account of a
sin which he committed, regardless of whether it is a small or a big sin. His
affair is with Allaah, the Mighty, the Sublime
