00:00:00.000 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
00:00:29.320 Brothers and sisters and dear friends, we have come to Turkey as our salamu alaykum inshaAllah.
00:00:35.200 Right now I'm standing in the masjid of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, one of the companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
00:00:43.720 He was one of the Ansar who supported the Prophet, peace be upon him, at his hardest times.
00:00:47.500 So this is masjid, this is mosque that we're at.
00:00:49.720 Right behind me, you can see the cemetery, some gravestones.
00:00:55.060 Inside is his actual grave.
00:00:56.900 So when Muawiyah and Yazid, when they attempted to conquer Constantinople, which is the Istanbul that we know today,
00:01:07.720 Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, he joined them.
00:01:11.620 Even though he was 80 years old, because we know of the Hadith of the Prophet, peace be upon him, of the blessings and the forgiveness that the person who will conquer Constantinople will get inshaAllah.
00:01:21.360 So he wanted to be a part of that.
00:01:22.820 So he passed away, he gave his last breath in this city.
00:01:27.340 And he was one of those people who are among the righteous people.
00:01:30.300 And we asked Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to have mercy on him and make him among the righteous people inshaAllah and elevate his rank.
00:01:35.500 What I wanted to say here is, a little reminder I wanted to share with you guys also, is the fact that you have a lot of visitors coming to this mosque from all over the country, a lot of places.
00:01:44.320 Especially since the episode of Eltarul has started, a lot of people have a lot of attraction here.
00:01:48.480 I've heard that 60% more people have come here, more tourists.
00:01:52.400 So one thing that I want to mention, brothers and sisters, is that we have a lot of people, and actually in Tabari, Tabari mentions that there were some Greeks, Greeks and Christians would even come here to his gravestone and pray for rain.
00:02:08.100 And sadly today we even do have some Muslims who come here and ask Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, and for things that they should be asking Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. 0.54
00:02:16.920 And it's really important for us to give this little benefit for you guys inshaAllah.
00:02:20.720 Let me remind them our dear brothers and sisters, the fact that Tawheed, Allah's Lordship, His Oneness, His Oneness, if we know a little bit about our religion, Tawheed al-Ulihiya is that we single out Allah in worship.
00:02:35.900 Now what this means is that we can come and visit the graves, yes? That's not a problem.
00:02:40.860 We can come and visit, make a prayer for the person in the grave, but not ask things to him, because he has passed away now.
00:02:49.700 So it's just a little reminder, my brothers and sisters, for us to understand that we worship Allah and Allah alone, and we should always, always bear that in mind.
00:02:57.100 Because going and asking help from a person who has passed away, who is living in the hair life, in the barzah, but in this life who has passed away, has no benefit to you, neither himself.
00:03:09.040 So it's just a little reminder for us to, if you do come visit this place, let's understand, my dear brothers and sisters, that Tawheed, the Oneness of Allah means that we ask help, and we pray and ask help from only Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:03:24.140 Like we recite in Surah Fatih every single day, Iyaka na'abudu wa Iyaka nasta'eem.
00:03:29.500 It was a little reminder for me, to you guys, inshaAllah, may Allah bless you guys, an amazing place, come to visit, inshaAllah.
00:03:34.500 I'd prefer for you guys to come in summer, it is raining, but if you're from Trabzon, like my friend who's helping me with the camera work, he said that, where he's from Trabzon is a city,
00:03:43.700 he said that they don't care about the rain, because they're already wet, or something along those lines.
00:03:48.080 But anyways, may Allah bless you guys, assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
