Shaykh Hamza Yusuf tells the insightful story about Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him)’s visits to his son’s home and meeting his first and second wife.
The story gives insights into how to have a worldview and mentality that is optimistic without a modicum of entitlement and instead total reliance on God, in calamity and times of ease.
Shaykh Hamza delivered this sermon at the Muslim Community Center - East Bay (MCC East Bay) Pleasanton, California on Tuesday, July 20, 2021.
Shaykh Hamza Yusuf is a leading proponent of classical learning in Islam. He is president of Zaytuna College and has taught courses on Islamic jurisprudence, ethics, astronomy, logic, theology, prophetic biography, and hadith, as well as other subjects. He has published numerous articles and translations, including The Prayer of the Oppressed and Purification of the Heart. He also serves as vice president for the Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies, an international initiative that seeks to address the root causes that can lead to radicalism and militancy.
Prophet Ibrahim known as Prophet Abraham in the Hebrew Bible, is recognized as a prophet and messenger in Islam of Allah (God). Abraham plays a prominent role as an example of faith in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In Muslim belief, Abraham fulfilled all the commandments and trials wherein God nurtured him throughout his lifetime.
As a result of his unwavering faith in God, Abraham was promised by God to be a leader to all the nations of the world. The Quran extols Abraham as a model, an exemplar, obedient and not an idolator. In this sense, Abraham has been described as representing "primordial man in universal surrender to the Divine Reality before its fragmentation into religions separated from each other by differences in form". The Islamic holy day Eid al-Adha is celebrated in memory of the bravery of Abraham, and Muslims perform the pilgrimage to pay homage at the Ka'bah in the Hijazi city of Mecca, which they believe Abraham had set up and reformed. Muslims believe that the prophet Abraham became the leader of the righteous in his time, and that it was through him that people of both the Arabian Peninsula (Adnanites in particular) and Israel came. Abraham, in the belief of Islam, was instrumental in cleansing the world of idolatry at the time. Paganism was cleared out by Abraham in both Arabia and Canaan. He spiritually purified both places as well as physically sanctifying the houses of worship. Abraham and Ismail (Ishmael) further established the rites of pilgrimage, or Ḥajj, which are still followed by Muslims today. Muslims maintain that Abraham further asked God to bless both the lines of his progeny, of Ismail and Ishaq (Isaac), and to keep all of his descendants in the protection of God.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

I never understood this story before....thank you for explaining

[@Topheee3]

Wow I needed to hear this right now

[@Crocodilesbread]

in Surah Al-Fatiha "the Path of those You have blessed not those You are displeased with, or those who are astray." the Path of those You have blessed is the path of the prophets, companions, and syuhada. "this is what we ask for" in our every prayer. where the path is the path of struggle and sacrifice. May Allah make it easy for us to get through everything. Aamiin.

It is interesting also to note ZamZam is alkaline in nature as are many vegetables and fruits and all greens, so the water offsets the acidity of meat to maintain good health.

I'm quite sure I have heard someone tell the story before where in both cases it was the same woman who changed her response after being told

[@user-rn3bb3dj4p]

Absolutely! We are living in age of consumption, we are burning and destroying our lands back home & our brethren to enjoy abit of lavishness in the west.

KNOWLEDGE IS THE POWER! WERE THE PROPHET IBRAHIM (ABRAHAM), MUSA (MOSES), JESUS (ISA), AND MUHAMMAD WERE PERSIAN (IRANIAN/ARYAN)? THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS YES! THE PERSIAN MAN NAMED AZAR (MEANING: DECEMBER/FIRE) WAS THE FATHER OF PROPHET IBRAHIM! PROPHET IBRAHIM MARRIED SARAH(SARAI) AND HAD A SON NAMED ISAAC WHO WAS THE ORIGIN FOR THE HEBREW (JEWISH ) PEOPLE INCLUDING PROPHET MOSES AND JESUS! HE ALSO MARRIED EGYPTIAN LADY HAGAR (HAJAR) AND HAD A SON NAMED ISHMAEL WHO WAS THE ORIGIN FOR THE ARAB PEOPLE INCLUDING PROPHET MUHAMMED! THIS STORY GOES BACK AROUND 4000 YEARS AND PERHAPS MANY YEARS BACK WE ALL HAD THE SAME ORIGIN! RMP 😎👌
