so we've spoken about
the possibility of a person whose status
is unknown
to be visited by the likes of jibril
islam and of course for us as believers
when
leila qatar comes around right tana's
to have the descent of jibril islam is
very special
but what about a woman whose status is
known by everyone and that is
her status is well established amongst
the people of the earth and amongst the
inhabitants of the heavens
this is the woman that aside from just
being the first muslim the first
believer in the prophet saws she's
someone who is the comfort of the
prophet saws she finances the tao of the
prophet saws she sells everything that
she has right lived a very comfortable
life prior to islam she gives that all
up for the sake of allah and of course
you know we have to note that the
prophet saws mentions that people of
good qualities
their good qualities were only polished
and further shined with islam so even
before the dao of the prophet's life
sometimes she used to spend on the poor
she used to spend on the orphans but she
was still always comfortable and wealthy
until the tao of the prophet saison
starts
now the tao of the prophet saison goes
on and the boycott happens
technically could have excused herself
from the boycott right she could have
stayed back and had the protection of
her tribe and her status would have
guaranteed that she would be okay but
she chooses to be there with the prophet
salallahu and with the muslims literally
as they are starving to death
and she uses her position to try to
sneak food into the camp
who was
the nephew of khadija
would bring food to her and she would
distribute that to the poor muslims and
she would continue to abstain from food
herself so
she suffers
voluntarily but so graciously right
throughout the life of the prophet saws
as a prophet and she never wants
complaints and there are narrations in
the syrah you know there's narration
from imam sunil
that jibreel islam once met her in the
street in the form of a man to ask her
about the prophet saws
and she did nothing but say wonderful
things about him and praise him and
thank allah subhana tada for him she
didn't complain about her situation so
when she is tested in ways that we know
and in ways that we don't know because
we'll never truly know the extent of
that suffering and that hardship and
that hurt especially since much of the
meccan seerah is not known to us allah
subhanahu ta'ala sees it all and allah
elevates her now she has a very unique
incident with the angels and that is
that jubilee salaam does not just come
to her in any way right but he comes to
her with specific salam and specific
glad tidings this is the famous hadith
where jibreel islam comes to the prophet
salla
and this is close to the end where
khadijah
has now suffered in every way and she's
barely hanging on right it would it
would eventually be the hardships born
through the boycott that would lead to
her demise so jibril islam comes to the
prophet saws and he says
o messenger of allah
is about to come to you
right now
and she has a platter in that platter
there is something to eat or something
to drink some soup something to eat
something to drink something very simple
when she comes to you
first and foremost tell her that allah
sends her salah her lord sends her salam
in a salam and give her salam for me
from jubilee
so allah says salaam to her and please
tell her that i say salaam to her as
well
so this here now he comes he says
this is khadijah coming to you with this
dish it has some soup some food
something to drink when she reaches you
give her salam on behalf of her lord and
give her salam from me and give her the
glide tidings of a palace in paradise
it's made of
a very specific type of jewel it's made
of these jewels and there will be no
noise and no stress in that palace in
paradise now i'm going to break down
some of the wisdom of this because i
know this hadith is common but some of
the ways that the ulama extracted
blessings and benefits from this very
particular bushra this very particular
glad tiding is special to us but first
of all look at the wisdom and the fik
the understanding of hadith
and her natural guidance she says as for
allah in allah
allah himself is the source of peace
so i can't say walking to allah and that
is of course truly the way some of the
sahaba would say
and it was changed to no you know
you greet allah subhanahu wa ta'ala but
you salaam
and upon you o messenger of allah is
assalam is the peace and the mercy and
the blessings of allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala
now
this is of course the beauty of
her wisdom her natural grace that even
shows in the story but imam suhaidi
rahim allah talks about the
the gly tidings the word
actually refers to
the finish line in a race
okay so the way that they used to race
back in the days of ignorance is that
they used to put us up they used to put
a particular prize in the front and
basically
the race would be to that prize and when
you get to that prize you get to take it
home so he says the wisdom of that is
that khadijah
was the first to get to the prize
meaning the prize of islam the first to
embrace islam and so she's the first
that gets to keep the reward right so
she got the possum of iman first the
apostle of faith first and therefore she
has a home in paradise that's unique
some of the scholars also say khadija
before islam was a distinguished house
it had a very particular uh decoration
to it so jibreel alaihissalam is telling
her in jannah you have this distinct
home that no one else has sohely also
says abate she's being given the glad
tidings of a home in particular because
her bait her home was the first home of
islam the first house of islam and this
ummah was the house of khadija
and then lastly
there will be no noise no stress
says that she never raised her voice at
the prophet saws or caused him stress
rather she was the source of stress
relief when others gave the prophet's
life some noise and so yah khadijah you
have a home in paradise
no more noise no more exhaustion no more
persecution you'll never be tired again
subhanallah
and the scholars say look at the
blessing
here with this coming of jubilee islam
is coming just for this
right to interact just for this purpose
no other purpose they say that this is
the combination of the blessing of
maryam
who allah sent jubri salaam to and the
combination of asiya salaam the wife of
who was given the glad tidings of a home
in paradise that allah sends jibreel
specifically to her to give her salam
and the glad tidings of a special palace
in paradise
