Faham abadu. Brothers and sisters, my dear brother and friend Atif. Atif Nasir from Kuwait. He told me, do go to the top of the roof after fajr. The sunrise is amazing. I didn't realize how true, what exactly he meant. Because when I come here, it's like being on another planet. Suhara is so incredibly beautiful. I cannot even imagine. I cannot even describe it. The roof is beautiful. It has carpets everywhere. And I was hoping to get a sighting of the Mount Rakhud. But that looks like it might not happen because in the direction of Ahud, there is a, the roof is not completely open. They have a sort of wall and a roofed veranda all around. So, on the roof you are open to the sky for part of it, part of it, but you can also shelter under the veranda if you need to. But okay, alhamdulillah. What I can see is so incredibly beautiful. It's cold. Madina is cold in the morning. So, but it's not badly cold. It's not bitterly cold. It's a very, very beautiful scene. Suha Allah. Waiting for the sun to rise. Inshallah. And it is unbelievable. I was going to talk about Mount Rakhud with the picture. But I guess that is not the case. I guess that is not to be in this particular video. But Inshallah. I can still talk about the mountain. I guess without the mountain being in the picture. I'm literally within sighting distance of the Mount Rakhud. And I will take a picture of the Mount Rakhud and show it to you. Before I go there, you can see here, this minar, which is a pointed one, which you can see there. Oops. That went off quite fast. Okay, that one. That pointed one is the minar, which is the one that is in front of me. And that is the one that is in front of me. And that is the one that is in front of me. This is the minar, which is next to the Gubbat Al-Hudra, the green dome of the best brother of Rasul Allah . So that is the minar of the dome. Now, this is the roof. So I was talking about the mount of Ahad. The mount of Ahad is, The Mahantra Vahad is, as I said, I'm literally sort of a very short walk away from the Mahantra Vahad. From where I'm standing, if the built-up area was not there, I would be able to see the Mahantra Vahad very, very clearly. That is actually my intention of coming up here. But, khair inshaAllah. The Mahantra Vahad is the Mahantra of history. It's the Mahantra which knows the history of the Muslims. It is the Mahantra about which Rasulullah said, the Mahantra of Vahad loves us and we love Vahad. And so that is the importance of Vahad is clear from many, many Ahadiths where Vahad is mentioned both literally as well as allegorically. For example, goodness, like the goodness of the, as much as the Mahantra Vahad, good deeds, the size of the Mahantra Vahad, a date seed, given in sadaqa by somebody who is poor. And that one date, so that one date seed, all that this person has and gives that sadaqa, Allah will make it grow like the mountain of Vahad made of gold and so forth. Many Ahadith, alhamdulillah, which are, which talk about the fazilat and the position, the prominence of this mountain in the seerah of Rasulullah . The mountain of Vahad is the mountain which gave shelter to Rasulullah in the battle of Vahad. When the Muslims had lost the battle, the mountain of Vahad was witness to the reason they lost the battle. After having won it, the mountain of Vahad, those that Rasulullah had given this instruction, this command, that nobody must leave, that the archers must not leave their post, until he commanded them to do that. But they left their post. And they left their post not because they had suddenly become bhaagi or rebels, or they stopped believing, in Islam and believing in Rasulullah . None of that. They left their post for a, for a reason, may Allah forgive us, the kind of reason that we give ourselves, which is that we take, we take one of the Ahadith, we take one of the command of Rasulullah , and we say that, oh you see, but logically that command is not valid anymore, because the reason for the command is, gone, and therefore I need not obey that command. And that's exactly what the archers said. Those among them who saw the others, the other Muslims collecting booty, they said, well, the command of not giving the mountain really applied while the battle was going on. But now the battle is over, and the booty is being collected by people, and if we don't go, and if we don't exert ourselves, and we ...
