2 00:00:01,309 --> 00:00:03,202
One of the things that we praise about Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam
3 00:00:03,202 --> 00:00:06,584
is not just his ability to see a bright future,
4 00:00:06,584 --> 00:00:09,010
even in the midst of great pain and trauma,
5 00:00:09,010 --> 00:00:12,295
but he also had a vision for what could go wrong as well.
6 00:00:12,295
--> 00:00:14,878 (upbeat music)
7 00:00:23,860 --> 00:00:26,330
And so, as he's making this du'a
8
9 00:00:28,970 --> 00:00:32,730
he says wajnubneewabaniyya an naAAbuda al-asnam
10 00:00:32,730 --> 00:00:36,310
and protect me and my children from worshiping idols.
11
12 00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:42,250
sacrificed everything for the sake of one God
13
14 00:00:44,270 --> 00:00:48,100
and settling his children, his family in this place.
15 00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:51,715
And he's saying, protect me and protect them
16 00:00:51,715 --> 00:00:54,650
from ever worshiping idols.
17 00:00:54,650 --> 00:00:58,150
He's building a Kaaba for the sake of one God.
18 00:00:58,150 --> 00:01:01,050
And he knows that there could be the possibility
19
20 00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:06,380
which is built for Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
21 00:01:06,380 --> 00:01:09,450
could be filled with idols against its original purpose
22
23 00:01:10,540 --> 00:01:14,410
And as he's making Dua he's praying for himself first,
24 00:01:14,410 --> 00:01:17,370
which shows you that Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam is teaching us.
25 00:01:17,370 --> 00:01:19,914
That you never feel safe yourself from falling
26
27
28
29 00:01:26,290 --> 00:01:28,710
So you always have to be vigilant and pray for it
30 00:01:28,710 --> 00:01:32,160
that you would be protected from it first always
31
32
33 00:01:36,340 --> 00:01:39,710
and protect my children from worshiping the idols.
34
35
36 00:01:43,150 --> 00:01:46,866
Then he says Rabbi innahunna adlalna katheeranmina annasi
37 00:01:46,866 --> 00:01:49,640
Oh my Lord, verily they have caused
38
39 00:01:51,326 --> 00:01:54,218
innahunna adlalna katheeranmina annasi
40
41
42 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,122
waman AAasanee fa-innaka ghafoorun raheem
43 00:02:01,122 --> 00:02:04,300
So whoever follows my way then he is from me.
44 00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:07,780
And if anyone goes astray or they follow other than that,
45 00:02:07,780 --> 00:02:10,000
then you are most forgiving and most merciful.
46 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,690
Some of the scholars they say first and foremost,
47 00:02:12,690 --> 00:02:15,370
look how beautiful Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam's heart is.
48 00:02:15,370 --> 00:02:17,460
He's attributing the evil to the idols,
49
50
51 00:02:21,062 --> 00:02:24,350
his father and his people that lead people astray.
52 00:02:24,350 --> 00:02:27,880
But Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam is keeping his anger directed
53 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,320
at what was used to lead the people astray.
54 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,270
And he has this huge heart for those that are astray,
55
56
57 00:02:36,450 --> 00:02:38,530
he still says waman AAasanee
58 00:02:38,530 --> 00:02:41,730
So whoever disobeys me, whoever takes another way,
59 00:02:41,730 --> 00:02:44,960
then verily you are most forgiving and most merciful.
60 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,620
So his anger is directed towards the idols themselves,
61 00:02:48,620 --> 00:02:51,890
even though what are the idols except for the stones of man
62 00:02:51,890 --> 00:02:55,340
that are used to oppress other men and take away from
63
64
65 00:02:59,757 --> 00:03:02,460
they have led many people astray.
66
67 00:03:03,930 --> 00:03:06,820
he does not pray directly for forgiveness for them,
68
69 00:03:07,653 --> 00:03:10,380
Oh Allah you are most forgiving and most merciful
70
71
72 00:03:12,923 --> 00:03:15,314
faman tabiAAanee fa-innahu minnee
73 00:03:15,314 --> 00:03:19,290
whoever follows me then that is who is from me.
74 00:03:19,290 --> 00:03:22,581
And that's something to be really cling to for a moment,
75 00:03:22,581 --> 00:03:26,289
Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam is saying my children, my offspring
76 00:03:26,289 --> 00:03:28,020
are not merely there
77 00:03:28,020 --> 00:03:30,800
because they are biologically my offspring.
78 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,060
Those who are of me are those who follow me.
79
80 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,020
Fast forward years later
81 00:03:38,020 --> 00:03:41,350
and you have a Kaaba that is full of idols.
82
83 00:03:44,290 --> 00:03:48,420
used for the exact opposite purpose of the Kaaba.
84 00:03:48,420 --> 00:03:49,253
Not only that
85 00:03:49,253 --> 00:03:50,086
but when the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
86
87 00:03:51,786 --> 00:03:54,510
guess who he saw, he saw an image of Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam
88 00:03:54,510 --> 00:03:57,504
So they even cast Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam,
89 00:03:57,504 --> 00:04:00,520
the one who strove against those idols
90 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,075
as being part of the scheme of the idol worship.
91
92
93 00:04:07,716 --> 00:04:11,440
with his followers, from the people of Mecca.
94 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,730
For what reason?
95 00:04:12,730 --> 00:04:15,700
Because they have disobeyed our forefathers.
96 00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:18,010
SubhanAllah so the prophet Islam and his followers
97
98 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,010
Why? Because they have disobeyed our forefathers,
99 00:04:23,010 --> 00:04:26,520
even though the great forefather Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam
100
101
102
103
104 00:04:33,609 --> 00:04:36,242
Inna awla annasibi-ibraheem
105 00:04:36,242 --> 00:04:38,626
That those who have the greatest right to Ibrahim
106
107 00:04:40,031 --> 00:04:42,680
are those who follow Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam.
108
109
110 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,000
not those who are biologically his descendants, no!
111 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,200
Those who follow the way of Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam.
112
113 00:04:54,309 --> 00:04:57,809
Bilal Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu and Salman Radi Allahu Anhu
114 00:04:57,809 --> 00:04:59,420
and Sumayya Radi Allahu Anha
115 00:04:59,420 --> 00:05:01,590
they are of Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam
116 00:05:01,590 --> 00:05:03,300
even though they're not biologically
117
118
119 00:05:06,953 --> 00:05:08,980
that were opposing the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
120
121
123
124 00:05:16,110 --> 00:05:18,770
because those that are of Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam
125
126 00:05:21,150 --> 00:05:23,741
and there you have the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
127
128 00:05:26,590 --> 00:05:30,210
that Kaaba that has been built for the worship of one God,
129 00:05:30,210 --> 00:05:32,970
but now tarnished with all of those idols.
130
131 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,670
even from the image of Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam
132 00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:40,840
returning it back to the intent of Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam
133 00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:44,123
which was for the worship and the glory of one God.
134 00:05:44,983
--> 00:05:47,566 (upbeat music)
