HW: page C-17
Notes:
Today we learned about Khalid ibn Al-Walid, the sword of Allah. His title was assigned to him by the prophet.
Khalid won every battle, even the battle of Uhud against the Prophet.
To summarize the Battle of Uhud, this is what happened. The Muslims were outnumbered.
In order to avoid the Kufar splitting up and surrounding
the Muslims, the Prophet came up with the idea that the Muslims should put
their backs to the mountain and place seven archers on the top of the mountain
in order to prevent the Kufar from trying to climb
the mountain. The Prophet told the archers not to move unless he specifically
sent someone to go get them. The Muslims were doing great. Every time the Kufar tried to climb the mountain the archers would kill
them and at the bottom of the mountains the Muslims were fighting well. When
the Kufar started to retreat, the Muslims went to go
collect the spoils. At the top of the mountain, the archers were debating about
whether they should go down the mountain to collect spoils too. The Prophet had
told them not to go down without the signal from him. The archers decided to go
down the mountain. Only seven archers remained. While the Muslims were
collecting their spoils, Khalid ibn Walid and his men seized the opportunity. They went up the
mountain, easily killing the remaining seven archers, and attacked the Muslims
from behind.

HW:
Today we
took notes on Black Magic.
· The source of black magic was the two Angels Haroot and Maroot
- Black
Magic = for evil people (Kufar)
- Blowing
in the knot is like whistling to call the Jinn to come and chase the
victim and ruin the victim’s life.
- The
knot makes the sound that attracts the Jinn
- The
stuff in the knot is for the Jinn to track down the victim
- The
Quran doesn’t say how the witch attracts the Jinn because that would be
teaching black magic. Allah would never do that.
The story of Haroot and Maroot:
1. The Angels used to look down upon the humans that have repented. They say that the humans that have repented shouldn’t have made the mistake in the first place. Haroot and Maroot asked Allah why humans would ever disobey Allah.
- Allah
wanted to show them the truth about the people they looked down on.
- Allah
decided to make them humans and send them to earth as a test.
- They
were tempted just as humans are
- They
became worse than humans.

Homework:
Today we took notes on Al-Walid ibn al-Mujeera, father of the one and only Khalid ibn Al-Walid:
1. Blessed with money and ten strong sons
- So
rich that he used to donate a cover for the Kabah
one year and all of
- He
was a judge for Arabic poetry
- Kufar
tried spreading rumors about the Prophet, didn’t work. Then they became
scared that the Prophet was gaining followers
- The
Kufar sent Walid to
the Prophet to offer the Prophet money and power to stop the growing of
Islam
- The
Prophet replied by saying Surat Al-Sajda
- Walid
explicitly saw the truth that Islam was the true religion and still denied
Islam
- He
will have the punishment of the climbing in Hell. Allah will make him
think that if he climbs a mountain, he can get out of Hell, and then every
time he
Reaches the top, the mountain falls
back down again. This is because he saw the truth, he had an opportunity to
prevent himself from getting out of Hell, and then he denied Islam

We continued covering the story of the beginning of the creation
Class Date: October 24, 2010
HW is page A-25
We learned about the Story of the Beginning of Creation and how the Satan ticked Adam and Eve into eating from the forbidden tree. We ended on the fight between Qabeel and Habeel (Cain, Able). We learned lots of lessons from the story
1. Satans are worst enemies.
- They
try to use our temptations to get us to do bad things.
- Adam
was tricked by the Satan using the temptations of curiosity and the
temptation of not being satisfied with what Allah gave him.
- The
Satan swore by Allah that he is saying the truth. Adam later said that I
have never imagined any one swearing by Allah and is lying.
- The
Satan swore by Allah that if Adam and Eve ate from the tree, they will
turn into angels and will have ever lasting life.
- There
are two ways to learn, either by listening or by getting hurt. Learning by
listening is the smart way because it has no damages but learning by
getting heart is very painful and may leave Permanente damages such as
Adam and Eve losing Jannah for the rest of their
lives.
