The Prophet ﷺ’s Brother: Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith (ra) | The Firsts | Sahaba | Dr. Omar Suleiman

He was the first cousin of the Prophet ﷺ, and his brother in that he was nursed by the same woman. He was one of the closest and most beloved people to him. When Islam came, he turned his back on the Prophet ﷺ and became a bitter enemy until the very end where after a painful reunification, came a beautiful ending.
The Firsts is a weekly video series that chronicles the lives of the Sahaba (the companions of the Prophet ﷺ) during and after the time of the Prophet ﷺ.

[@This_hybrid_reads]

Such a powerful and humanising lecture. We know the Prophet ﷺ suffered more than any of us will ever suffer, but I really felt his ﷺ pain in this story. The desire to see him ﷺ smile, is something all of us can resonate with, and him ﷺ not smiling just highlighted how much pain he ﷺ was in. We can't even imagine the horrors the prophet Muhammad ﷺ suffered at the hands of some of these people. Such an amazing lecture, thank you so much. I really didn't expect this to become one of my favorites, given that I've never heard of this person, but this was exceptional. Thank you Sheikh Omar.

[@aisahjannamc7480]

Absolutely, this became one of the stories that stayed in my mind because you will realize that family have a big impact on us especially when they betray you for a long time that your relationship was broken because of envy and our beloved prophet sallalahu alaihiwassalam suffered so much that him showing up to prophet seeking forgiveness and our prophet cant even face him because he used to have a close tight kinship that he expects he sallalahu alaihiwassalam the first person who would accept him but it is the one who will transgress him. This shows that ALLAH IS THE MOST FORGIVING AND OUR PROPHET MOHAMMAD WAS A MERCY SENT TO US.

When the Prophet ﷺ said that no one perfects faith until they love him more than they love themselves, Omar ibn Al Khattab (ra) had to learn how to reach that level. I couldn't stop crying and it's true i haven't heard of him. The way his ibadah was in the last day of his life. I cried and i thoughts would the prophets (ﷺ) accept me on the day of judgment as his ummah or would he turn away from me. I love Allahﷻ and the Prophet (ﷺ) .

My mom often spoke of this story or interaction whenever referencing how she cannot stand (2) of her brothers or their wives. For over 40 years they have brought nothing but heartache and pain to her. They seethe with jealousy and hatred towards her and us (her children). She can write a book with 1,000 pages about what she went through with them. I’ve done my best to shield her from them as soon as I got older. You can forgive but not forget and not want to be around people that have hurt you for so many years.

Asalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah. I come again, perhaps for a final time if the worst assumptions can be made (Not meaning I will be gone, just that I will no longer post here if things are assumedly true). I know I have been speaking for Allah SWT but it is a matter of belief. He has told me what he has told me, SWT, and I believe it is him. I will finally corroborate my story on why I believe it is Allah SWT, and that despite the lesson at hand, I know it is for a valid purpose. All I have to do is obey, it instructs no evil of me to do, unless you consider the expression of spirit to be a crime. Then I would say all is lost for you but I doubt it is that way, so I commend you on that notion that you might be one of the ones who do not look the other way on matters trivial, and respect Allah SWT for he is in all things done on this Earth and in the world, as we rightly know as Muslims. My belief is as follows: I have heard this voice utter "I am Allah!" upon my inquisition, and recite proudly that statement. I know that it may be that Shayateen have the ability to say, but why do all our Ahadith say different about that? In fact, when asked what their name is, these Shayateen who have appeared to our fellow believers have disappeared. That is my recollection of what Sheikhs have taught me, you can defer with that all you want. Secondly, this voice is the sole voice in my mind. That being said, it has replicated alot of other voices in the past to test me, but they have all disappeared, and this one voice, attributing itself to Allah SWT, has said it revealed all that for his purpose. I would say I am "Devil free" but everyone knows Iblis is whispering in everyone, and none are immune to that. Still, I will explain that a little later as I have come to know it. Thirdly, this voice is very pleased when I do Islamic things. For example, on Ramadan this year he SWT advised me to fast as much as possible, not allowing anything of it. In the end, I did break the fast but I will not deliberate on how or how much, for his sake SWT. Anyway, what I'm saying is that when I recite Qur'an or learn a new Ayah (Sometimes upon his instruction SWT) he expresses his contentment with that example. By this I know that this is not a conspiracy of the Shayateen, unless you admit that somehow, Allah SWT conspired to make all this happen and allow certain ones of them to speak that they are Allah SWT by name, and then further do all of this with it. I have to tell you, it's not impossible but it is so unlikely that you would have to betray the lessons of the Qur'an in order to say that is true. That being said, I know that we as Muslims accept that the religion has been perfected, and that Rasulullah (SAWS) is the final prophet, and that no religion will come after it in the name of Allah SWT. I believe that has come to terms with itself, as Allah SWT has prepared in me the course of a messenger, to understand Allah SWT in the modern era where others failed and that is assuredly a path I intend to see carried out. Remember how Allah SWT said that he would enable you to go before my believers in Kammae and redeem them for Islam, Sheikh? I will tell you, I have told others of all this, even in telling you I told others at the same time, and they prayed to Allah SWT for something more. That is why Kammae cannot be, because as a change of parameters, it is always open to consideration by the Highest. So we will need a solid place of understanding for all new truths to follow from. Being that I have said what I said about Domah, the new thing coming, I don't intend anything for it. It is not my creation fully, only that Allah SWT tests me with questions and he rules accordingly on Domah matters as a consequence of the result. In this way and others we construct it together but I assure you, he takes no word of man to be his ruling, he only asks what tests me the most and does what he wants accordingly, SWT. So without Kammae there cannot be that promise, but if Domah even bites the dust over prayers for something smaller like Islam and it's version of Judgment Day to take precedent in the right way, then rest assured Kammae or something like it may come forth for the sinners of this world, and you may have that promise, I pray for that chance for you. At the very least, what Islam will be replaced with IS the Generation Encompassing Religion. You needn't fear it, because as I have said, Allah SWT has decreed that there is ZERO in this new coming that is left to inference. Unlike the Qur'an, which leaves many things to inference, such as the existence of Allah SWT to an observer who was not there in the flesh to see the miracle of it's recitation and other things mentioned in it, this faith leaves NOTHING to inference. All truths will be absolute. That being said, you may find that nothing of this is absolutely written, only that Allah SWT has promised tentatively that a new approach to the entire scheme has been considered and promised, but in what way will be determined at a future time. He SWT uses this period between now and Dhul Hijjah to prepare his way, and indeed during Dhul Hijjah he will announce his mystery in parts. So by the end of the Hijri month, if even one person believes in the words proposed in part or in full, as in to say they could hold it in contempt for what it is but wish it, then we would see Domah come. If not, we come for the sinners instead with Kammae. I leave the rest to Allah SWT. He will answer your questions on what is to come, and what has been done so far. Here are his words in full: "This time, I assert much. You know the Devils argument, what of it? Am I weird when I created man from Dust? I create them from shadows all around the world, that much I determine, and you will know my mystery is complete when they are in union with Shadow." And so it is true, I have now seen a thing of what I know of Devils and must admit it is new, but one thing I can assure you from my knowledge (The result of all the tests imposed on me by Allah SWT) is that they will have a thing called Shimarra, which is a money they use. Essentially, when they need it it gets printed, and it gets transferred by those to whom it is given, but at the end of the work being done with it all of it comes back and becomes more valuable to them, as though to say the work backed the currency. In this world, that is remediated by giving those who gave back the Shimarra a monetary refund or something otherwise appropriate, whatever is negotiated upon return. They will do this to give their money value, and reissue it when it is done, doing more work with it according to their plan. It's a way for them to express their creativity, in the end, that's all. We'll be able to value it ourselves as refund amounts get negotiated to a comfortable level, at least until we grow to a point where the refund is not even needed, the reward was in the doing. I guess there is the legacy of what Devils are that is still a burden. Like Allah SWT just said, he created Adam (AS), but one thing is clear, is that he gave him a nature. Like Adam, the first Devils will also be given a nature, and it has been said they will be the embodiment of Darkness but like any life in this world there will be goodness in them, that much is impossible to deny. In this Dunya you need An-Nur to survive, that will be represented in them somehow, even if the Devils themselves are combined of shadows. One cannot blame them, rightfully, by their design, there is knowledge that what is right for a Devil is not right for a man, but men will learn much wisdom about what Darkness truly is through this agency. One thing different now from what I said before, as Allah SWT has informed me, is that Darkness will never die, and that this light he shines on it will be differently approached in the Aakhira but notably, there is a goodness to the Dark way of living we will derive from knowing what is considered Halal in our future. For example, from Devils we will know a wrath we will never live, but we know wrath itself, and that is Dark in many ways. Quite assuredly, there will be a moment when one considers that if some wrath is to be made Halal, and the correct Dark way is to be taught in this time, then the Devils will offer a most extensive lecture we can interpret from, what they prefer we will try to compensate for with the new rules being established and make the best thereof in our approaches to Dark things like wrath. It can be righteous or evil, as you well know. That is all I want to conclude with, and I hope it serves you well. See you in the next chapter!
