1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,580 The story of the Queen of Sheba 2 00:00:02,580 --> 00:00:13,970 Rather, you will rejoice with your gift 3 00:00:13,970 --> 00:00:17,429 The Queen of Sheba made a mistake in her decision 4 00:00:17,429 --> 00:00:25,050 When she decided to give the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him, a gift to win his heart 5 00:00:25,050 --> 00:00:31,030 The one who is attached to this world does not know the psychology of the one who is attached to the afterlife 6 00:00:31,030 --> 00:00:34,810 Like the Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him 7 00:00:34,929 --> 00:00:37,759 He is never tempted by money 8 00:00:37,759 --> 00:00:40,039 But the Queen of Sheba 9 00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:45,000 I dealt with the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him, with the nature of kings 10 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,359 Those who are tempted by money 11 00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:50,399 They rejoice in it and what is given to them 12 00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:53,200 It affects their decisions 13 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,280 Because it is the ultimate hope of many kings and leaders 14 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,880 He collects money 15 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:04,120 Except those whom God has mercy on and guides to the straight path 16 00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:10,840 The Queen of Sheba wanted to know the nature of God’s Prophet Solomon, peace be upon him 17 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,640 Is he a king like the kings of the world who love money? 18 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,260 Or is he a sent prophet? 19 00:01:18,260 --> 00:01:26,019 But they are errors of the method in knowing the great qualities of God’s Prophet Solomon, peace be upon him 20 00:01:26,019 --> 00:01:29,540 When we want to know the facts of men 21 00:01:29,540 --> 00:01:33,540 Let's look at their logic and what they say 22 00:01:33,579 --> 00:01:38,349 It is evidence of their level of reason and thinking 23 00:01:38,349 --> 00:01:44,150 The manifestations of greatness that some men display in their appearance and clothing 24 00:01:44,150 --> 00:01:47,150 The way they walk and move 25 00:01:47,150 --> 00:01:52,430 Underneath may be hidden empty minds and trivial preoccupations 26 00:01:52,430 --> 00:01:57,180 One cannot rely on knowing men based on their appearance alone 27 00:01:57,180 --> 00:02:00,060 This is Rustam, the commander of the Persians 28 00:02:00,099 --> 00:02:04,700 He blames his companions when they looked at Rab’i bin Amer 29 00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:08,460 They evaluated him by his clothing and appearance 30 00:02:08,460 --> 00:02:11,219 Rustam replied to them by saying: 31 00:02:11,219 --> 00:02:17,300 Don't look at his appearance, look at his logic 32 00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:20,020 Some men if you see them 33 00:02:20,020 --> 00:02:22,979 You were intimidated by them 34 00:02:22,979 --> 00:02:27,580 If they speak and speak, they will fall from the eyes of rational people 35 00:02:27,580 --> 00:02:30,419 Because of the futility of their minds 36 00:02:30,419 --> 00:02:34,460 Banality has dominated the lives of many affluent people 37 00:02:34,460 --> 00:02:37,460 Position holders and leaders 38 00:02:37,460 --> 00:02:41,539 This is the case with many kings throughout history 39 00:02:41,539 --> 00:02:45,699 This is what the Queen of Sheba herself lived 40 00:02:45,699 --> 00:02:49,580 She was busy decorating her throne and taking care of it 41 00:02:49,580 --> 00:02:53,740 The hoopoe even described it as a great throne 42 00:02:53,740 --> 00:02:57,060 She thought that the Prophet of God was Solomon, peace be upon him 43 00:02:57,060 --> 00:02:59,699 Of this type of kings 44 00:02:59,740 --> 00:03:06,150 So she sent him a gift that was great in her eyes and in the eyes of the people of the world 45 00:03:06,150 --> 00:03:09,550 The Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him, denounced it 46 00:03:09,550 --> 00:03:12,430 This behavior is from the Queen of Sheba 47 00:03:12,430 --> 00:03:14,469 He got angry and said 48 00:03:14,469 --> 00:03:16,669 Provide me with money 49 00:03:16,669 --> 00:03:21,750 What God has given me is better than what He has given you 50 00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:26,000 Rather, you will rejoice with your gift 51 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,280 He faced the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him 52 00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:33,240 The Queen of Sheba's gift includes three things 53 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:39,280 The first is to denounce the gift in exchange for their call to Islam 54 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:46,240 The second is a mention of God’s blessing upon him with the religion, prophecy, and wisdom He gave him 55 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,879 And subjugating the jinn and birds to him 56 00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:51,479 And knowing the logic of birds 57 00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:56,490 This is much greater than the gift of the Queen of Sheba 58 00:03:56,530 --> 00:04:01,969 The third shows who would like such gifts 59 00:04:01,969 --> 00:04:04,409 And it is not his morals 60 00:04:04,409 --> 00:04:09,270 Rather, it is their morals because they are accustomed to them 61 00:04:09,270 --> 00:04:12,110 Al-Qushayri, may God have mercy on him, said 62 00:04:12,110 --> 00:04:14,389 Are you offering me money? 63 00:04:14,389 --> 00:04:18,310 Is someone like me attracted to such actions? 64 00:04:18,310 --> 00:04:24,600 You and people like you are treated the same way you were treated 65 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,509 Al-Baghawi, may God have mercy on him, said 66 00:04:27,509 --> 00:04:32,269 What God gave us of prophecy, religion, wisdom, and kingdom 67 00:04:32,269 --> 00:04:35,509 Better and better than what He has given you 68 00:04:35,509 --> 00:04:38,550 Rather, you will rejoice with your gift 69 00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:43,189 Because you are people who brag about this world and take pride in it 70 00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:46,860 You rejoice in giving gifts to one another 71 00:04:46,860 --> 00:04:48,180 As for me 72 00:04:48,180 --> 00:04:52,180 I do not rejoice in it, and the world is not what I need 73 00:04:52,180 --> 00:04:55,500 Because God Almighty has enabled me to do so 74 00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:59,019 He gave me what he did not give to anyone else 75 00:04:59,019 --> 00:05:04,420 Yet he honored me with religion and prophethood 76 00:05:04,420 --> 00:05:07,019 Al-Razi, may God have mercy on him, said 77 00:05:07,019 --> 00:05:13,100 With these words, he showed his lack of interest in that money 78 00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:18,740 The Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him, knew the reason for sending the gift 79 00:05:18,740 --> 00:05:24,579 This dissuaded him from his intention to conquer their country and invite them to Islam 80 00:05:24,579 --> 00:05:27,329 He did not accept the gift 81 00:05:27,370 --> 00:05:33,170 After looking into knowing the reason why people give money and wealth, it is appropriate 82 00:05:33,170 --> 00:05:36,209 For scholars, preachers and reformers 83 00:05:36,209 --> 00:05:38,850 It is very important 84 00:05:38,850 --> 00:05:42,329 Because the meaning to them may be far away 85 00:05:42,329 --> 00:05:48,370 The scholar or preacher would not notice it if he looked at the matter superficially 86 00:05:48,370 --> 00:05:52,610 Or he justified himself in accepting the Sultan's gifts 87 00:05:52,610 --> 00:05:56,569 This is what scholars, preachers, and reformers should do 88 00:05:56,610 --> 00:06:00,490 It is refraining from accepting any gift or gift 89 00:06:00,490 --> 00:06:03,529 Maybe one day you will become famous in their religion 90 00:06:03,529 --> 00:06:06,129 And asceticism in what people have 91 00:06:06,129 --> 00:06:10,329 And turn to God to ask for what they need 92 00:06:10,329 --> 00:06:13,769 His gifts never cease from His servants 93 00:06:13,769 --> 00:06:18,069 And He provides for them from where they do not expect 94 00:06:18,069 --> 00:06:21,149 The unjust ruler is at all times 95 00:06:21,149 --> 00:06:26,750 He confronts scholars and preachers to prevent them from calling to God and spreading knowledge 96 00:06:26,750 --> 00:06:31,829 Guiding people and telling the truth in two ways 97 00:06:31,829 --> 00:06:33,750 The first way 98 00:06:33,750 --> 00:06:37,629 Silencing them with gifts, money and gifts 99 00:06:37,629 --> 00:06:43,329 And involve them in all his events, parties and receptions 100 00:06:43,329 --> 00:06:45,250 The second way 101 00:06:45,250 --> 00:06:49,250 Restricting, persecuting, and imprisoning them 102 00:06:49,250 --> 00:06:54,329 And prevent them from educating people in any way 103 00:06:54,370 --> 00:06:59,329 Changing names does not substitute anything for the truth 104 00:06:59,329 --> 00:07:01,930 The Queen of Sheba said: 105 00:07:01,930 --> 00:07:05,850 And I am sending them a gift 106 00:07:05,850 --> 00:07:09,370 Did you send a gift or a bribe? 107 00:07:09,370 --> 00:07:14,170 Luring people with money is both right and wrong 108 00:07:14,170 --> 00:07:18,810 As for enticing the infidel with money to convert to Islam and abandon disbelief 109 00:07:18,810 --> 00:07:22,449 This is a right permitted by Islam 110 00:07:22,490 --> 00:07:25,009 He made it a type of zakat 111 00:07:25,009 --> 00:07:27,870 As in the Almighty’s saying 112 00:07:27,870 --> 00:07:34,269 Alms are for the poor and needy 113 00:07:34,269 --> 00:07:39,870 And those who work on it and whose hearts are reconciled 114 00:07:39,870 --> 00:07:47,500 And in the freeing of slaves and debtors 115 00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:52,620 For the sake of God and on the way 116 00:07:52,620 --> 00:07:57,089 A blessing from God 117 00:07:57,089 --> 00:08:02,569 And God is All-Knowing, All-Wise 118 00:08:02,569 --> 00:08:05,970 This type of grooming and similar 119 00:08:05,970 --> 00:08:09,769 It is not in the interest of those who lure him with money 120 00:08:09,769 --> 00:08:12,569 But it is the luck of the one who was given the money 121 00:08:12,569 --> 00:08:15,370 To adhere to the truth and adhere to it 122 00:08:15,370 --> 00:08:17,569 Or enter into the religion of God 123 00:08:17,569 --> 00:08:19,970 Or adhere to Islam 124 00:08:19,970 --> 00:08:22,970 As was the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 125 00:08:23,170 --> 00:08:26,170 It consists of Aslam in the conquest of Mecca 126 00:08:26,170 --> 00:08:30,860 By giving them spoils to support Islam 127 00:08:30,860 --> 00:08:33,460 As for forbidden grooming 128 00:08:33,460 --> 00:08:36,659 It is for the benefit of someone instead of money 129 00:08:36,659 --> 00:08:39,860 To get what he has no right to 130 00:08:39,860 --> 00:08:43,059 Or to exceed it in a right owed to him 131 00:08:43,059 --> 00:08:47,059 Or to oppress others or something like that 132 00:08:47,059 --> 00:08:49,659 This is forbidden bribery 133 00:08:49,659 --> 00:08:52,159 Even if it is called a gift 134 00:08:52,159 --> 00:08:55,559 Most of the gifts of sultans, kings and leaders 135 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,559 She is from this section 136 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,960 Either to silence poets or preachers 137 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,360 Or to create bad scientists 138 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,759 To make lawful for them what God has forbidden to them 139 00:09:06,759 --> 00:09:08,759 Or to correct their actions 140 00:09:08,759 --> 00:09:11,320 Even if it violates Sharia law 141 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,519 A gift is originally desirable 142 00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:18,519 The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said 143 00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:20,919 Calm down, love each other 144 00:09:20,919 --> 00:09:24,149 Narrated by Al-Bukhari in Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 145 00:09:24,149 --> 00:09:26,950 The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 146 00:09:26,950 --> 00:09:28,750 He accepts the gift 147 00:09:28,750 --> 00:09:31,750 It is a good deed among Muslims 148 00:09:31,750 --> 00:09:35,740 If they seek the face of God Almighty with it 149 00:09:35,740 --> 00:09:39,340 But if the gift is for someone other than God 150 00:09:39,340 --> 00:09:42,539 Or it was to prevent the establishment of God's law 151 00:09:42,539 --> 00:09:45,539 Or prevent a person from obeying God 152 00:09:45,539 --> 00:09:47,740 Or it was for a prohibited purpose 153 00:09:47,740 --> 00:09:50,940 Such as relationships between boys and girls 154 00:09:50,940 --> 00:09:55,539 And giving flowers and other things on Valentine’s Day, as they claim 155 00:09:55,539 --> 00:09:57,139 Or elsewhere 156 00:09:57,139 --> 00:10:00,899 This is one of the forbidden gifts 157 00:10:00,899 --> 00:10:03,100 And what the Queen of Sheba sent 158 00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:05,700 It is of this kind that is forbidden 159 00:10:05,700 --> 00:10:09,899 She wanted to prevent the Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him 160 00:10:09,899 --> 00:10:13,700 Who conquered their country and brought them into the religion of God 161 00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:16,549 And they came under his rule 162 00:10:16,549 --> 00:10:19,549 And the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him 163 00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:22,149 He does it for God 164 00:10:22,149 --> 00:10:23,950 And to spread the religion of God 165 00:10:23,950 --> 00:10:26,950 May the word of God rise above the earth 166 00:10:26,950 --> 00:10:32,950 And to save them from worshiping the sun to worshiping the One Almighty God 167 00:10:32,950 --> 00:10:36,820 Let people surrender to the Lord of the Worlds 168 00:10:36,820 --> 00:10:41,220 To prevent this great goal with gifts and money 169 00:10:41,220 --> 00:10:44,220 Rather, it is a barrier from the path of God 170 00:10:44,220 --> 00:10:49,019 Therefore, the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him, did not accept it 171 00:10:49,019 --> 00:10:52,220 He said, "Go back to them." 172 00:10:52,220 --> 00:10:57,019 Let us bring them forces against which they cannot defeat 173 00:10:57,019 --> 00:11:02,710 And We will certainly bring them out of it humiliated while they are humiliated 174 00:11:02,710 --> 00:11:04,909 The response was firm 175 00:11:04,909 --> 00:11:07,710 By fighting the people of the Kingdom of Sheba 176 00:11:07,710 --> 00:11:10,909 And bring them into the religion of God Almighty 177 00:11:10,909 --> 00:11:13,909 And keep them away from worshiping other than God 178 00:11:13,909 --> 00:11:17,309 Saving them from eternity in hell 179 00:11:17,309 --> 00:11:21,429 This is a form of jihad for the sake of God 180 00:11:21,429 --> 00:11:24,429 When the news reached the Queen of Sheba 181 00:11:24,429 --> 00:11:28,830 I submitted to the command of the Prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him 182 00:11:28,830 --> 00:11:31,629 She and the nobles of her people went out 183 00:11:31,629 --> 00:11:35,230 To the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him 184 00:11:35,230 --> 00:11:38,230 To come under his rule voluntarily 185 00:11:38,230 --> 00:11:43,500 We protected the blood of its people from flowing in the streets 186 00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:45,899 This shows the soundness of her mind 187 00:11:45,899 --> 00:11:49,700 To protect her people from entering into a losing war 188 00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,899 By all standards 189 00:11:51,899 --> 00:11:55,419 There is no shame in her surrendering to the truth 190 00:11:55,419 --> 00:11:57,220 Submitting to the truth 191 00:11:57,220 --> 00:12:00,460 Better than persisting in falsehood 192 00:12:00,460 --> 00:12:03,659 This is what every rational person should do 193 00:12:03,659 --> 00:12:06,860 To submit to the truth if it becomes clear to him 194 00:12:06,860 --> 00:12:09,259 He avoids getting into fights 195 00:12:09,259 --> 00:12:12,259 Useless words or arguments 196 00:12:12,259 --> 00:12:13,860 To prove his opinion 197 00:12:13,860 --> 00:12:18,009 It became clear to him that the truth was with others 198 00:12:18,009 --> 00:12:20,009 It's a waste of time and effort 199 00:12:20,009 --> 00:12:23,009 In pointless battles 200 00:12:23,009 --> 00:12:27,169 A kind of foolishness that does not befit the mind 201 00:12:27,169 --> 00:12:30,370 This is what the Queen of Sheba did 202 00:12:30,370 --> 00:12:32,370 It reduced the

way 209 00:12:49,220 --> 00:12:53,669 To the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him 210 00:12:53,669 --> 00:12:57,470 We will continue in the next meeting, God willing 211 00:12:57,470 --> 00:13:00,269 Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds 212 00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:04,279 The story of the Queen of Sheba 213 00:13:04,279 --> 00:13:08,480 With the Prophet of God Solomon, peace be upon him
