The Story Of Khalid Ibn Walid ~ Mufti Ismail Menk ~ Ramadan 2014

the next hero we are going to speak about the best of all the Warriors ever that the Muslims had the name of he was known as Abu the father of his father was Al Al he had a son known as KH he had another known as Al he had another known as Omar and he had another known as Hisham all of these were children of Al wied Al wied was a very man the father of Khalid very very wealthy and he was a person who used to donate the covering of the Kaa one year and the whole of qur used to gather to make it the following year every year they used to change the cover of the Kaa one year Al used to give it and the other year the whole of quray together used to give it that's how wealthy he was and he was known as one of the leaders of Banu makum the makumi clan he was one of the leaders so his sons grew up very wealthy and khid was a big man powerful muscular person he was quite fair in complexion and he was very close in looks to Omar and as a youngster he was approximately 20 years younger than Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam he did not like Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam why because he felt that this man is competing with my father Al when Muhammad s wasam used to talk to him he used to say I am more befitting to have been a prophet than you who are you and why did Allah reveal to you you are an orphan you're a person who has nothing I am one whom Allah gave so much I am supposed to have been the prophet so Allah revealed verses [Music] allahar Allah speaks about what Al and the others were saying that why did Allah not send down prophethood to a powerful man from Makkah or from T why did he have to send prophethood to this man in particular who was an orphan from amongst us Allah answers them and says are you the ones who are in charge of Distributing the the gift of Allah are you the ones who are in charge of Distributing the mercy of Allah Allah says we are responsible to give whomsoever we wish and we have raised some above the others in virtue and in goodness and in wealth and in everything else in this world for many reasons in order to be a test for you may Allah bless us all so this was a response but it's a lesson for us we become jealous when someone does well well in business that is competing with Allah Allah replies you here and he says why are you jealous are you you the one who gave or did I give when someone is knowledgeable and they're doing a lot of good work we become jealous if that is the jealousy we have Allah says you want to be in his shoes well you need to understand we blessed him that's exactly what happened with Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam and lost because he wanted to compete with Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam so when someone has wealth when they have children when they have goodness my brothers and sisters do not become jealous like the kufar of quray do not become jealous like those who want to compete with the gift of Allah because it is Allah's decision to give whom he wants what he wants how he wants when he wants it's not our decision so was very angry so he looked at his father and he always used to say I will never adopt what Muhammad has brought because he is competing with my father he looked at it as competition right and wrong has nothing to do with competition even if your enemy tells you something that is right as a Muslim you adopt it because it is right and even if your friend tells you something that is wrong as a Muslim you reject it because it is wrong whether he's your friend or your enemy is something which is completely separate but what is right and wrong is primary may Allah bless us and grant us ease so KH was brought up in a powerful home a strong man he was very brave and he was a person who was tall well known in qur as a Warrior from a very early age now Al may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless us from that type of attitude that he had he had a son this son's name was Al another one in the Battle of Badr Al was taken captive by the Muslims and they called for a ransom to free him and they asked for 4,000 Dirhams which was not much actually but it was a lot in terms of to free a captive and they said Al this man's father has a lot of of money and he has caused a lot of harm against the Muslim so andam they came to the where the Muslims were in order to free their brother and they had paid the ransom and they took their brother away when they took their brother away he went to meca and after a while he announced he was a Muslim Al so he was in captivity he saw the Muslims prey he saw how they operated how they respected one another he saw the beauty in that Faith whilst he was captive and he loved it so much so they asked him why didn't you accept Islam whilst you were a captive so Al says how could I accept Islam when I was a captive people might think that my intentions were wrong and I just wanted to be freed so I waited until my father paid the ransom and I left now I'm accepting it as a free man because I want to tell you it is definitely the truth and he went back to Madina and he became one of those who was very close to Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam so one day Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam obviously spoke to him and we will get to that what did Muhammad sallahu alaihi wasallam tell Al regarding his brother this was after the battle of bad what had happened at had come and do you know he was on the side of the kufar of the enemy of the of qur those who had usurped the wealth of the Muslim so at that time he was not a Muslim he looked at the archers and he saw that these people have left their positions so immediately he took a group of men and he went back and swiped the Muslim by sandwiching them between the enemy and this is when the Muslims suffered a great loss at the hands of KH may Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala forgive us all and may Allah grant us a lesson because the people had not obeyed the instruction of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam so KH was known as the hero of from the from the qurayshi or from the quashi perspective from the perspective of of the kufar of mekah now after that KH came for the battle of the trench you know the battle of the trench that took place a year and a half later what he did is he was responsible for executing Muhammad sallallah alhi wasallam he was given the task you need to watch for Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam and get rid of him so as he went he tried here and there but you know there was a trench that was dug and he just could not get to Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam it is reported that as he tried to get there by night had immediately noticed and alerted everyone and the plan was foiled so went back to Makkah with those who had lost in the battle it didn't really take place because obviously the wind had come and I'm sure we would know the battle of the trench the kufar were sent back to mecah miraculously by Allah subhanahu waala so at the time of when the the Muslim had come out without any weapons in order to make the pilgrimage in Makkah the kufar of Makkah stopped them they had sent with 200 men to go and attack the Muslims but when he went he saw that they were praying they were praying and he thought to himself okay I've got 200 men why these people go to their prostration I will swipe at them but he was shocked that Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam when he said Allah abbar and everyone went to sujud half of them went to SJ and the other half stayed up and then when he said Allah abbar half of them came up and half of them went down and he was saying what is this all about that was specific Salah prescribed at at a time of War when Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam was given this gift because Allah says that these people had intended for you to all be in prostration at once so they could swipe at you so some of you go down and some of you stay up when some come up some will go down and so on it's a beautiful Salah and it was a gift of Allah subhanahu wa tala so that is the time in his heart the first light had entered he says that means this man Muhammad we will never be able to harm him impossible I am a man I have mastered the military Arts completely I cannot even get close to him for some reason and so in his heart he said this man is going to lead and he's going to be the winner and he's going to be victorious this is what KH tells us later so after he went back and he received a letter from his brother Al and the letter said oh my beloved brother khid I always know you to be a very intelligent person and as intelligent as you are it cannot Escape you that Islam is correct with that mind of yours you are such a powerful person in intellect the prophet has been asking about you sallallahu alaihi wasallam he told me where is khid where is khid and I told him inshallah Allah will bring him along he says the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam says a man like Khalid who is so intelligent anyone who is absolutely intelligent will know that Islam is correct if they are unbiased they will know that what the Muslims are calling to and what they are worshiping is actually correct they are calling towards worshiping one maker the maker alone and doing good all your life and this is what is correct so read the letter and he was touched by it because now one thing had happened at hudia and after hudia this was the second thing the third thing he slept that night and he saw a dream the dream of he says I saw myself on a piece of land that was dry and very very narrow and then I saw that I was was traveling to another beautiful green piece of land which was very Broad and he said when I got up I knew it means go to Medina and that is Islam and Allah has chosen Islam for you so he decided to speak to his friends who were his friends now it was quite tricky to talk to them because they all hated Islam the first one he had a friend and this friend was quite close to him safan he tells safan oh safan what do you think of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam I've tried so much the man you cannot get close to him I believe he's going to win one day and he's going to overtake everyone the Arabs and the non-arabs and I think it's about time we went so safwan says no ways never are you crazy what are you talking about that is because safan umya had lost his father and brother and so he decided okay he told safan okay forget what I said it's okay just forget about it and he went to ik the son of Abu jahal and told him exactly the same thing and ik responded in the same way the son of Abu jahal he says no ways are you crazy he says okay forget about it then he went to a third friend of his by the name of there are two or three different names perhaps they are referring to the same person or one may be referring to the nephew and one may be referring to the uncle because is one man [Applause] and may be the same man or may be the nephew but whoever it was this was a friend of KH so when KH told him that let's do this let's go to Medina I'm really feeling to go because of these reasons he said okay I'm coming with you let's go Subhan Allah amazing so quietly the two of them prepared everything and they decided to do Hijra without anyone knowing they went and on the way as they going they saw one of the powerful men of qur by the name of the man who later conquered Egypt he was one of those who went to Nashi if you recall on behalf of qur and he was speaking about jaali that was a man inshallah we'll talk about him in a few days time but and this man they met him and they asked him oh where are you going or he asked them where are you guys going so they said no we want to know from you so was brave enough he said you know what we are going to accept Islam and we're going to Madina he said guess what I'm going to do exactly the same thing Subhan Allah they arrived in Al the leaders of qur their children now are here and they came and as they were entering Madina Al sees his brother and rushes to him he says wall the messenger sallallah alaihi wasallam already informed us that you are on your way imagine a miracle of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam already informed his companions that KH is on his way to come here Subhan Allah he says amazingly let's go the messenger is waiting for you sallallahu alaihi wasallam so the three of them walk into the presence of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam and the greeting itself spoke a mountain he says may peace be upon you oh messenger of Allah this was the man whom they all wanted to kill in because of how many Muslims he killed and yet KH greets him as and and andhi wasallam says look this ISR it has brought to you its liver meaning it has now thrown out to you the most important part of its organs amazing and so says I declared the shahada in front of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam but there was a problem that I had in my heart what was it I felt that I killed so many Muslims and now look at what's going on I caused so much harm against Islam so he said I looked at Muhammad sallallah alaihi wasallam and I said oh messenger please pray for me I have caused so much harm against the Muslim what will happen to me may Allah forgive me that is when Muhammad says oh I want to inform you that Islam deletes the sins that were committed prior to it so it doesn't delete all your Deeds it only deletes your sins remember this you don't start with a new Leaf you start with a leaf that only has good on it amazing if you did good before you accepted Islam it will come through even after you accepted Islam but if you have done bad that is what is wiped out just like my brothers and sisters TBA does exactly the same thing it wipes out the bad and it leaves the good may Allah grant us repentance because repentance does exactly the same thing TBA the meaning of which is repentance and turning to Allah so this was khid he heard the statement once it was not enough he heard it twice it was not enough he heard it a third time then he says oh messenger I pledge my allegiance to you there it is here you are I am and I've come to you here we are Subhan Allah so the prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam made a Dua for him he says oh messenger for every harm that I've have caused Islam pray for me the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam says oh Allah forgive Khalid for everything that he has done against Islam Subhan Allah this was the acceptance of Islam of he took part in the Battle of M immediately after that and remember we spoke about how there were three leaders appointed by Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam andd and Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said they will lead one after the other all three of them lost their lives then went and took the flag the flag of leadership and he gave it to and was a new Muslim and he said no ways I'm not going to take this you have actually Taken part I am not from amongst those you'd rather carry it so looks at the rest of the companions on that day of M and he says do you agree that khid is the Warrior from amongst us who knows best how to tackle the enemy and he shall lead us and they all agreed so that is when Khalid took it and the battle changed its course and they came back to Medina Subhan Allah having achieved quite a bit in M may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grant them all goodness and grant us too a lot of goodness so this was the man KH every single Army he was in he won his battle without exception Subhan Allah so much so that today the military schools of the West they study the life of there are so many movies that you will find that are after and his life that are studied very carefully by military schools of the non-muslims and the Muslims across the globe he was an intelligent man extremely intelligent so at the time of the victory of Makkah he was the only man who was the newest in accepting Islam who was put as one of the leaders of the army of the Muslim because Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam was there himself was put in the front was to the right side and guess who was on the left a child of quray who had just come he was going back to quray as Victorious and he had told those youngsters already that Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam is going to win he's going to overtake and he's going to rule everywhere here he used to tell them at that stage that you know what it is an honor for us to accept Muhammad he's a part of qur why are we jealous of him he's one of us what a powerful statement I think we can learn from that sometimes we harass the children of our own Community not realizing that if they are part of our community by us harassing them we are actually doing our own Community a disservice rather we are proud of the achievements of our country our community and the umah at large may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala help us understand what was the statement of KH anyway he took part in so many battles that people began to say is the warrior is the man came in and said I don't like the way people are now thinking that khid is the big magician who wins all the wars so oh Abu I write he wrote him a letter and said AB go and tell KH that he must come back to Medina no more taking part in the war as a leader he's just a normal Muslim and you go and overtake so if you recall a few days ago we said he took the letter to and he gave the letter after the war was over immediately said no problem I'm going back to Madina so om said I did not remove KH because I had a problem with him but I removed it him because people started believing that it is him and we believe it is Allah so this is why there were others who were placed in the place of at one stage and this is on his deathbed four years later just four years after had removed him he was on his deathbed and he says wall there is not a single spot on my body not a single spot on my body that does not have some form of wound on it my entire body has wounds all over my face my head and my entire body and yet I am dying on a bed and not on the battlefield so those who are cowards must learn a lesson from me that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala if he has written death for you you will die no matter where it is I took part in so many of the battles but Allah decided you will die in the way that the camel dies these are his words then he says Subhan Allah was known as The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam when he was sitting in Medina during the Battle of M we made mention of it the other day when we said that he's the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was given the knowledge of the Unseen on that day to be able to see that the has now taken over the leadership of the Army in m and he says he says s alhi wasallam said a sword from amongst the swords of Allah has taken over the Reigns of the Muslims so imagine if was killed in the battlefield people would say the sword of Allah is broken so Allah's Choice was that he must not be killed in the battlefield he was on his bed he died a natural normal death may Allah subhanahu wa tala grant us a lesson this was KH he passed away in and he is buried in him which is in Syria may Allah grant us peace in Syria in Iraq in Afghanistan in all the countries in Gaza and in everywhere else may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grant us peace and goodness my brothers and sisters I end with something important on his deathbed made the most famous statement that we know about him he says he says I was busy in the battlefield I was unable to learn much about the Quran Subhan Allah but I have no regrets Allah has chosen me to fulfill a part of Islam I have to stop there it is the most important lesson we learn not every one of us will be Masters in the Quran not every one of us will be professionals in Islamic knowledge we have from amongst us doctors accountants we have men of different disciplines and women whom we need in our society and the and Community we do not underestimate the value of one another we should never think I'm the only Muslim who's serving Islam no matter who you are and what you have you may serve Islam either through your profession through your wealth through your knowledge or through a combination of more than one of those things do not ever think that the work you are doing is the only work of Allah or his messenger because that would be an insult to Allah having brought down the spectrum of Islam to one job that you are doing no ways there are 100,000 ways you can serve Islam if you think there's only one way you have insulted the other 99.999 th000 different ways of supporting Islam may Allah grant us ease and help us to love one another to understand how much we need one another brothers and sisters this love that we should be feeling for one another is such that really we should have a smile on our faces when we see each other may Allah grant us unity and goodness may he help us develop our hearts and feelings towards one another may he help us appreciate the different works of the different people who are serving Islam in totally different ways and may we be never be people who think that we are the only ones who are serving Islam may Allah Safeguard all of us
