Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas: “Abu Sufyan bin Harb [R] informed me that Heraclius had sent a messenger to him while he had been accompanying a caravan from Quraish. They were merchants doing business in Sham. So Abu Sufyan and his companions went to Heraclius at Ilya. Heraclius called them in the court and he had all the senior Roman dignitaries around him, see what happened next.

I don't get tired of listening to this. Even the non Muslims were aware of the qualities of a true Messenger of Allaah the Almighty.
Muhammad is a false prophet

@Farjan Khan amin
It’s 4 AM, I heard and I cried. Beautiful story and beautiful presentation.
Love it. Allah o Akbar. I ask for forgiveness and grateful to Arabs who introduced this true religion to my ancestors.
Why thanks to Arabs?
(WAYS TO GAIN THE TOP RANKS OF JANNAH)
1. Memorising the Qur'an
Ibn 'Amr reported that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said:
"It will be said to the companion of the Qur'aan after he has entered Paradise, 'Recite, and rise!' For every verse he recites he will rise one level (in Paradise), until he recites the last verse with him (i.e., in his memory)." (Aboo Dawood)
Therefore we should memorise as much of the Qur'an as possible in order to elevate our position in the hereafter.
2. Concentrating in Salaah
Abu l-Aas (RA) reported that he said,“O Messenger of Allaah, the Shaytaan interrupts me when I pray, and I get confused in my recitation.” The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “That is a shaytaan whose name is Khanzab. If you sense his presence, seek refuge with Allaah from him, and spit [dry spitting] towards your left three times.” [Abu’l-‘Aas] said: “I did that and Allaah took him away from me.”(Reported by Muslim, no. 2203)
Salaah is of the best and most important of all our worship so we must ensure that we pray our Salaah as perfectly as possible as our Salaah is being scrutinised everytime we pray and if we do not pray our Salaah properly and lack concentration then we will not gain the full benefits of our Salaah and instead it will feel like a burden upon us.
Therefore we should strive to try and concentrate on our Salaah as much as possible imagining that Allah is watching our every movement in prayer.
3. Men praying Fard Salaah in the Masjid
The Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said:
“I had considered ordering for the prayer to be established, then I would order every man to pray and set loose men who have with them logs of wood upon a people who did not come to the prayer and I would burn their houses with the fire.” (Bukhari, Muslim)
This clearly indicates that there is no excuse for men to make a congregation at home if they have a Masjid near them and it is possible for them to pray in one.
Honourable place in Jannah: It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (RA) that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: “Whoever goes to the mosque in the morning and evening, Allaah will prepare for him an honourable place in Paradise every time he goes and comes.” (Bukhaari, 631; Muslim, 669)
Therefore it is clear that men should establish a close connection with the house of Allah, pray all of our Salaah on time and our fards in the Masjid:
4. Doing Voluntary Prayers & Fasts
Voluntary prayers:
Allah says in Hadith Qudsi:
….and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil (voluntary deeds) until I love him, so I become his sense of hearing with which he hears, and his sense of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he grips, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me, I will give him, and if he asks My Protection, I will protect him..." (Bukhari)
A Source of Elevation: The Prophet (SallAllahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Ask (anything)." Rabi'ah said: "I ask of you to be your companion in paradise." The Prophet (SallAllahu alayhi wasallam) said: “Anything else?" Rabi'ah said: "That is it." The Prophet( SallAllahu alayhi wasallam)said to him: "Then help me by making many prostrations (i.e., supererogatory prayers)." (Muslim)
Therefore we should pray all of the voluntary prayers as the more prostrations we do the more closer we will get to Allah and the more chance we have of being in the company of Rasulallah (SallAllahu alayhi wasallam) in Jannah:
Voluntary fasting:
Abu Hurairah reported that the most the Prophet, (salla Allahu alaihi wa salam) would fast would be Monday and Thursday.
He was asked about that and he said: "The deeds of people are presented to Allah on every Monday and Thursday. Allah forgives every Muslim except for those who are deserting each other. He says: "leave them for later." (Ahmad; Hasan)
Fasting the white days (3 days in the lunar month, 13th, 14th & 15th):
Abu Tharr Al-Ghefari said: "The Messenger of Allah, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said "O Abu Tharr! if you fast three days of every month, then
fast the 13th, the 14th and the 15th [these are call the al-ayaam al-beedh, the white days]". (Ahmad, an-Nasaa'i and at-Tirmithi; Sahih)
Intercession for those who fast: “Fasting and the Qur’an will intercede for the slave on the Day of Resurrection. Fasting will say: ‘O My Rabb! I prevented him from food and desires, so accept my intercession for him.’ And the Qur’an will say: ‘I prevented him from sleep during the night, so accept my intercession for him.’ He (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘And they will (be allowed to) intercede.’” (Ahmad, at-Tabarani, Al-Hakim, Sahih)
So let us get closer to Allah by fasting Mondays & Thursdays or at least 3 days every lunar month on the 13th,14th and 15th. If we leave something for the pleasure of Allah then we will get MUCH more in return!
5. Remember & Glorify Allah night & day
Mu`adh ibn Jabal said that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: "The People of Paradise will not regret except one thing alone: the hour that passed them by and in which they made no remembrance of Allah." Narrated by Bayhaqi in Shu`ab al-iman (1:392 #512-513)
The highest rank in Jannah for those who remember Allah the most:
Abu Sa`id narrates: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) was asked, "Which of the servants of Allah is best in rank before Allah on the Day of resurrection?" He said: "The ones who remember him much." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, what about the fighter in the way of Allah?" He answered: "Even if he strikes the unbelievers and mushrikin with his sword until it broke, and becomes red with their blood, truly those who do dhikr are better than him in rank." (Ahmad, Tirmidhi, and Bayhaqi)
Therefore we should remember Allah as much as is possible and glorify him night and day for his remembrance is the best of deeds and will surely elevate our position in Jannah:
6. Pray Tahajjud & beg & cry unto Allah for mercy & forgiveness
Abu Hurayra (RA) reports that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said, “The best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer.” (Muslim)
Therefore we should make a habit to pray Tahajjud in the latter portions of the night and beg and cry unto Allah for mercy. The one who prays Tahajjud has their ranks elevated in Jannah. The one who cries unto Allah in the depths of the night will surely be heard for Allah tends to his servants who are crying for his mercy quicker just as a mother tends to her crying baby:
7. Implement FULL Sunnah into daily life
Following the Sunnah is a command from Allah:
"Say (O Muhammad to mankind): "If you (really) love Allah, then follow me (i.e. accept Islamic monotheism, follow the Quran and the Sunnah), Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Quran: 3:31)
Surely if we follow the Prophet in every aspect of our life then everything that we do will become a worship even going to the toilet, having a bath, dressing and undressing etc
"Whoever revives an aspect of my Sunnah that is forgotten after my death, he will have a reward equivalent to that of the people who follow him, without it detracting in the least from their reward.”
(Tirmidhi)
8. Giving charity
Spending in the way of Allah is of the best of deeds and will save us from the fire:
The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: “Charity wipes out sins as water extinguishes fire.” (Tirmidhi)
Charity should be paid secretly: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: “Righteous deeds protect a person from an evil end; a charity spent in secret extinguishes Allah’s wrath; and maintaining good ties of kinship increases ones lifespan.” (Tabaraani)
Removing harmful objects from people’s way is also a charity: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said:“I saw a man enjoying himself in Paradise (simply) because he removed from a road a tree that used to harm people.”(Muslim)
Providing for ones family is a charity: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said:“If a man provides for his family hoping for the reward, it will be counted as charity for him.”(Bukhari & Muslim)
9. Dua
"Whoever asks Allah for Paradise three times, Paradise says: 'O Allah, admit him into Paradise', and whoever seeks deliverance from the Fire three times, the Fire says: 'O Allah, save him from the Fire." (Sunan tirmidhi no 2572)
Say:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ (O Allah I ask you for jannah) 3 times
and
اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ (O Allah save me from the hellfire) 3 times
Al-Bukhaari (2790) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “In Paradise there are one hundred levels that Allah has prepared for those who strive in jihad for the sake of Allah. The distance between each two levels is like the distance between heaven and earth. So if you ask of Allah, then ask Him for al-Firdaws, for it is the middle of Paradise and the highest part of Paradise. I think above it is the Throne of the Most Gracious, and from it spring the rivers of Paradise.”
May Allah make us amongst those who learn, reflect, and implement good deeds as well as grant us all Guidance to the right path and Jannatul Firdaws. Ameen
What is are your nation ?
The only thing wrong with this translation is that "Byzantine" was a term Europeans used hundreds of years later. Arabs and Muslims at that time considered them as "Romans."
Andrew Murray True yes.
Andrew Murray
True
But i think they use it because it most famous i think ?
The Roman empire stretched from England to the middle east. The eastern region was known as the byzantine with constantinople as its capital.
The Quran mentions it as Roman.
I believe it was interchangeable.
@@Palestine4Ever169 Its most "famous", because French wanted to be seen as true heirs of Romans.
"Byzantine" was NEVER used by muslims, Greeks or Westerners until 18th century. Long after the empire was gone.
@@Leopold284 See my answer to "the arabian". Byzantine is term made up in modern times.
I love this lectures please I dont know to repay you, such knowledge can only be taught in theology classes and one has to pay thousands for it but we getting them for free, may Allah reward you brothers: )

Why is it that when the Muslims of the 21st century hear that there has been an earthquake in Indonesia, Pakistan or a Tsunami along the borders of Asia but do not feel pained? When they hear of such atrocities or sufferings happening to their beloved Muslim brothers across the world there is no shared grief or significant compassion? Why is it that today when we hear that our Muslim brothers and sisters around the world are being tortured mercilessly, their land and posessions destroyed/occupied; their children are being killed/enslaved in poverty and human rights are being annihilated, that we feel no pain?
While we are living and enjoying the comforts and luxuries of the 21st century, our brothers and sisters are being oppressed all around us. It has become such that we have become immune to hearing such afflictions. It has become such that we find it hard to shed even one tear.
My dear readers, whoever you are and wherever you are, have we forgotten the Hadith of Rasullullah May Allah send peace and blessings upon him ?
Rasullullah May Allah send peace and blessings upon him giving an example of Muslim unity is reported to have said in a Hadith:
“The Muslim Ummah is like one body. If the eye is in pain then the whole body is in pain and if the head is in pain then the whole body is in pain”
So we the Muslim Ummah, whatever colour, nationality or gender, wherever we are, are like this body. If we hear that any part of this Ummah is being oppressed, then we should feel this pain.
My dear readers, our oppressed brothers and sisters are crying out for help. They find that the Muslims of the 21st century are asleep and there is no one to help them. The reason why we the Muslims are collapsing is because we do not have any love amongst us. We harbour hatred for one another and our worldly matters and materialistic pursuits have taken over our lives.
Have we forgotten the beloved companions radiyallaho anhum of Rasullullah May Allah send peace and blessings upon him? Have we even realised that they were of different colours and backgrounds. Hazrat Bilal May Allah be pleased with him was from Ethiopia , Hazrat Salman May Allah be pleased with him was of Persian decent, Hazrat Suhaib May Allah be pleased with him was from Rome and Hazrat Abu Zar May Allah be pleased with him was from Gifar.
They used to love each other more than real brothers. These were the Sahabas.
When Rasullullah May Allah send peace and blessings upon him made the Hijrah to Madinah, amongst them was Hazrat Abdur Rahman May Allah be pleased with him.
Rasullullah May Allah send peace and blessings upon him had just established peace between Hazrat Abdur Rahman and Hazrat Sa'ad Radhiallaho Anhu of Madinah. Rasullullah May Allah send peace and blessings upon him tells Sa'ad May Allah be pleased with him to take Hazrat Abdur Rahman May Allah be pleased with him as his brother. Hazrat Sa'ad May Allah be pleased with him says to Hazrat Abdur Rahman, “O Abdur Rahman, I am one of the richest men of Madinah, take half of my wealth and do whatever you want to do with it.
This is the love that the Sahaba had amongst them. Can we find any two people in the world like this today? And this is the love that Islam is asking from all the Muslims around the world today.
Has the time not come for all of us Muslims to unite again? The unity, which our Prophet May Allah send peace and blessings upon him has taught us, the unity that the Sahabas had, the Unity of Islam.
The distractions of desire have driven the muslims to have very western goals. These are chasing the luxuries of this world, turning a blind eye to other parts of the world where are pain. I'm sorry it's unfortunate but some have sold their faith for this world. Arab nations are divided due to this.
its because of borders drawn by people
I THINK ON MY OWN OPINION THAT BY COMING OF THE MAHDI ( PROPHESIED MUSLIM UNION LEADER) ALONG WITH THE HELP OF JESUS ALMASSEH peace be upon him shall be the unified point of political theocratic global government. That is the reason every slightest attempt of Muslim Nation to create Political Organization has been subject for refusal of American & Israel and work for the destruction of that said Muslim unity.
Al-Wahn, A Deadly Disease
On the authority of Thawbaan , the Prophet said:
“The People will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their food.” Someone asked, “Will that be because of our small numbers at that time?” He replied, “No, you will be numerous at that time: but you will be froth and scum like that carried down by a torrent (of water), and Allah will take the fear of you from the breasts (hearts) of your enemy and cast al-wahn into your hearts.” Someone asked, “O Messenger of Allah, what is al-wahn?” He replied, “Love of the world and dislike of death.” [An authentic hadith recorded by Abu Dawud and Ahmad]
Not all Muslims are unaware of what is going on in the Muslim world, we all know and we feel the pain because our prophet said it, we, his nation is like a body, if one part is in pain, the rest will itch and complain about the pain!! It is true that the life for this dunya has entered the Muslims hearts however that does not deter is from asking Allah for them all in our applications is this is the least we can do. You must take into account that we are living in a time where we is all are limited as to what we can do, oppressors amongst the Muslim leaders and the non believers rule us and they as part of their agenda limit us all from doing good.
O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad

Akhenaten was the first Messenger reciting Quran is a message from Akhenaten he did not call himself Al Akhenaten but Alexander did call himself as Al the Akhenaten message is the same as Moses 10 Commandments this is why Akhenaten is spelt ending with ten I am fully aware you are aware that the meaning of Ark or Akh the eye of Akhenaten Ra & Re sight reciting the Quran of Akhenaten
Alhamdulillah the meaning of two hearts as one AllA Moon & Sun love of two Heart's two Hand's in the Hand of Akhenaten the old man Moses . Well at least you know where the Quran comes from from Medina Egypt images come from reciting Re & Ra sighting Moon & Sun . Jan & Surat the beginning of January first month monotheism

This is a legendary hadith.
One can only admire the wisdom shown by Heraclius in this. Praise to the Quran for this beautiful passage.
You can easily recognize Cheikh Abdulrahman Green's voice..
Heraculius (Roman Empire) vs Khalid ibn Al Walid (Rashidun Caliphate) : Year 700-750
Khalid Ibn Al Walid defeated the army of Heraculius on the day 4 of war, That was the day the Fall of Roman Empire.
10k Likes but Constantinople only fell in 1453. At the hands of the Ottoman.
Therese probably made it easier for the Ottomans.
Umar al-Khattab r.a as calipha appointed Abu Abaidah r.a as overall governor during the the take over of rum and
khalid ibn al-walid r.a was the commander under Abu Abaidah r.a
The fall of the Byzantine aka eastern roman empire, western roman remained for another 700 years until the fall of constantinople by ottoman
The Fall of the Byzantine Empire began already around the 5th century when the Sassanid Persians finally rose from the ashes of the Achaemenid Persian Empire.
I came here because i saw this in my dream and crying. This story is touching 😢
Heraclius seemed very intelligent.
Not intellegent enough, because he was against muslims in the end, which makes him enemy of islam, and his religion christianity worship Jesus
Yes those questions he asked say absolutely that.
He was described by Arab ambassadors as a man with an aura of wisdom and cleverness around him. His eyes had such a look that you couldn't help but speak the truth in front of him even though he acted kindly and didn't coerce you in any physical way. He really was one of the greatest Byzantine Emperors.
The weird thing that happen to me..everytime i heard about the honour, the hardshiped the tears the blood the companion that love prophet muhammad my heart is burst in pain and my tears windowing in my eyes..i keep to stop it or else my arab employer will seen me weirdo too... 😊 i realy want to love prophet muhammad
Want to love the Prophet? You seem to love him and his Companions more than most, including me.
He loves you back I feel it I feel your heart may Allah make you one of his proud followers ✋🙂
@Joan may Teodocio the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) deserves to be loved more than anyone else after Allah. Listen to his full seera (biography) and you'll know the kind of person he was. He loved you so much that he prayed for you at night until his feet swelled from standing up. He cried for his people who will come after he's gone. He put measures in place to ensure yours and my salvation through acts of worship to Allah.
Why would he see you as a weirdo? There is nothing wrong with loving the Prophet pbuh صلى الله عليه وسلم.
Show you sincere feelings. Almost all Muslims shed tears when they read the Quran or read about the Prophet pbuh صلى الله عليه وسلم.
Beautoful indeed. I think the narrator is Abdulrahman Green, May Allah reward him whoever it is.

I feel sad for Heraclius that even he knows that Prophet Mohammad(PBUH) is a true prophet he rejected him.
Its the past tradition,a normal person can't lead a nation or people..so it must be a royal blood who leads,since Muhammad pbuh is just a person with no royal or leader background so the roman king rejected.. For most the relative of Muhammad pbuh is a pagan worshipper !!
@@ilhamravin366 well heracles follows jesus who is also a normal person who got crucified so was the difference

That's why he rejected

It's not history, it's propagandistic apocrypha. In contemporary sources, no one refers to the eastern Romans as Byzantine. Even the Quran doesn't.
@@CripplingDuality The "Byzantine" empire name was simply called by Arabs as Rum, meaning Roman empire.
@@youcefguenaoua that's my point. No contemporary source ever called them Byzantine. And there's no evidence there was any correspondence between Muhammad and Heraclius.

What a story
Allahu Akbar
Moral: Power and Arrogance are the things that forces a person to ignore the truth even when the truth is shiner then the sun. Heraclius is the sign. ✌️
This story brings me closer to Islam even more. But it would be better if you could pronounce Heraclius' name correctly. Allah knows better.
Stanger In the wild
Indeed. It makes me understand Allah's whys and hows. Everything becomes really clear and nothing else matter anymore. Every questions are answered in the Quran and it made me feel like a total idiot.

@Islamic Guidance. From what I have come across, the Arians mentioned in the letter was thought to be translated as 'peasants', but it was actually referring to the Arians (who also happened to be peasants and persecuted at that time). These Arians were the remnants of Monotheistic belief remaining from amongst the Christians i.e. those who rejected trinity concept. Named as such as being followers of Arius, the one who stood up to defend Monotheism when the false concept of Trinity was injected into the Christian thought.
Actually It's not really true, Arius didn't reject the trinity concept nor any one with him.
he did reject the trinity and there was a big debate with pro trinity and they declared him a heretic in first council of Nicaea because he didn't consider Jesus nor the holy spirit as a god he only considered 'the father' as god and most of his teachings were burned and destroyed by his enemies
@@omarmuhammed4171 Not really brother, he said that jesus is a borned god, not an eternal god like the father. So he is trinityrian!
he considered Jesus as son of God but not God ... he didn't mean literal son of God but he wanted to use the same term used in the bible and that term meant a Pious and good man not literally son of God and he was unitarian not trintarian he didn't consider Jesus as a god but he considered him better than other people
that's a good video about the Arians ua-cam.com/video/NSWRBQ6iHKM/v-deo.html

Great video but when the emperor asks if anyone has renounced their faith Abu Süfyan doesn't just say no. He says no, none have so far.
(WAYS TO GAIN THE TOP RANKS OF JANNAH)
1. Memorising the Qur'an
Ibn 'Amr reported that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said:
"It will be said to the companion of the Qur'aan after he has entered Paradise, 'Recite, and rise!' For every verse he recites he will rise one level (in Paradise), until he recites the last verse with him (i.e., in his memory)." (Aboo Dawood)
Therefore we should memorise as much of the Qur'an as possible in order to elevate our position in the hereafter.
2. Concentrating in Salaah
Abu l-Aas (RA) reported that he said,“O Messenger of Allaah, the Shaytaan interrupts me when I pray, and I get confused in my recitation.” The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “That is a shaytaan whose name is Khanzab. If you sense his presence, seek refuge with Allaah from him, and spit [dry spitting] towards your left three times.” [Abu’l-‘Aas] said: “I did that and Allaah took him away from me.”(Reported by Muslim, no. 2203)
Salaah is of the best and most important of all our worship so we must ensure that we pray our Salaah as perfectly as possible as our Salaah is being scrutinised everytime we pray and if we do not pray our Salaah properly and lack concentration then we will not gain the full benefits of our Salaah and instead it will feel like a burden upon us.
Therefore we should strive to try and concentrate on our Salaah as much as possible imagining that Allah is watching our every movement in prayer.
3. Men praying Fard Salaah in the Masjid
The Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said:
“I had considered ordering for the prayer to be established, then I would order every man to pray and set loose men who have with them logs of wood upon a people who did not come to the prayer and I would burn their houses with the fire.” (Bukhari, Muslim)
This clearly indicates that there is no excuse for men to make a congregation at home if they have a Masjid near them and it is possible for them to pray in one.
Honourable place in Jannah: It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (RA) that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: “Whoever goes to the mosque in the morning and evening, Allaah will prepare for him an honourable place in Paradise every time he goes and comes.” (Bukhaari, 631; Muslim, 669)
Therefore it is clear that men should establish a close connection with the house of Allah, pray all of our Salaah on time and our fards in the Masjid:
4. Doing Voluntary Prayers & Fasts
Voluntary prayers:
Allah says in Hadith Qudsi:
….and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil (voluntary deeds) until I love him, so I become his sense of hearing with which he hears, and his sense of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he grips, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me, I will give him, and if he asks My Protection, I will protect him..." (Bukhari)
A Source of Elevation: The Prophet (SallAllahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Ask (anything)." Rabi'ah said: "I ask of you to be your companion in paradise." The Prophet (SallAllahu alayhi wasallam) said: “Anything else?" Rabi'ah said: "That is it." The Prophet( SallAllahu alayhi wasallam)said to him: "Then help me by making many prostrations (i.e., supererogatory prayers)." (Muslim)
Therefore we should pray all of the voluntary prayers as the more prostrations we do the more closer we will get to Allah and the more chance we have of being in the company of Rasulallah (SallAllahu alayhi wasallam) in Jannah:
Voluntary fasting:
Abu Hurairah reported that the most the Prophet, (salla Allahu alaihi wa salam) would fast would be Monday and Thursday.
He was asked about that and he said: "The deeds of people are presented to Allah on every Monday and Thursday. Allah forgives every Muslim except for those who are deserting each other. He says: "leave them for later." (Ahmad; Hasan)
Fasting the white days (3 days in the lunar month, 13th, 14th & 15th):
Abu Tharr Al-Ghefari said: "The Messenger of Allah, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said "O Abu Tharr! if you fast three days of every month, then
fast the 13th, the 14th and the 15th [these are call the al-ayaam al-beedh, the white days]". (Ahmad, an-Nasaa'i and at-Tirmithi; Sahih)
Intercession for those who fast: “Fasting and the Qur’an will intercede for the slave on the Day of Resurrection. Fasting will say: ‘O My Rabb! I prevented him from food and desires, so accept my intercession for him.’ And the Qur’an will say: ‘I prevented him from sleep during the night, so accept my intercession for him.’ He (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘And they will (be allowed to) intercede.’” (Ahmad, at-Tabarani, Al-Hakim, Sahih)
So let us get closer to Allah by fasting Mondays & Thursdays or at least 3 days every lunar month on the 13th,14th and 15th. If we leave something for the pleasure of Allah then we will get MUCH more in return!
5. Remember & Glorify Allah night & day
Mu`adh ibn Jabal said that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: "The People of Paradise will not regret except one thing alone: the hour that passed them by and in which they made no remembrance of Allah." Narrated by Bayhaqi in Shu`ab al-iman (1:392 #512-513)
The highest rank in Jannah for those who remember Allah the most:
Abu Sa`id narrates: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) was asked, "Which of the servants of Allah is best in rank before Allah on the Day of resurrection?" He said: "The ones who remember him much." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, what about the fighter in the way of Allah?" He answered: "Even if he strikes the unbelievers and mushrikin with his sword until it broke, and becomes red with their blood, truly those who do dhikr are better than him in rank." (Ahmad, Tirmidhi, and Bayhaqi)
Therefore we should remember Allah as much as is possible and glorify him night and day for his remembrance is the best of deeds and will surely elevate our position in Jannah:
6. Pray Tahajjud & beg & cry unto Allah for mercy & forgiveness
Abu Hurayra (RA) reports that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said, “The best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer.” (Muslim)
Therefore we should make a habit to pray Tahajjud in the latter portions of the night and beg and cry unto Allah for mercy. The one who prays Tahajjud has their ranks elevated in Jannah. The one who cries unto Allah in the depths of the night will surely be heard for Allah tends to his servants who are crying for his mercy quicker just as a mother tends to her crying baby:
7. Implement FULL Sunnah into daily life
Following the Sunnah is a command from Allah:
"Say (O Muhammad to mankind): "If you (really) love Allah, then follow me (i.e. accept Islamic monotheism, follow the Quran and the Sunnah), Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Quran: 3:31)
Surely if we follow the Prophet in every aspect of our life then everything that we do will become a worship even going to the toilet, having a bath, dressing and undressing etc
"Whoever revives an aspect of my Sunnah that is forgotten after my death, he will have a reward equivalent to that of the people who follow him, without it detracting in the least from their reward.”
(Tirmidhi)
8. Giving charity
Spending in the way of Allah is of the best of deeds and will save us from the fire:
The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: “Charity wipes out sins as water extinguishes fire.” (Tirmidhi)
Charity should be paid secretly: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: “Righteous deeds protect a person from an evil end; a charity spent in secret extinguishes Allah’s wrath; and maintaining good ties of kinship increases ones lifespan.” (Tabaraani)
Removing harmful objects from people’s way is also a charity: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said:“I saw a man enjoying himself in Paradise (simply) because he removed from a road a tree that used to harm people.”(Muslim)
Providing for ones family is a charity: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said:“If a man provides for his family hoping for the reward, it will be counted as charity for him.”(Bukhari & Muslim)
9. Dua
"Whoever asks Allah for Paradise three times, Paradise says: 'O Allah, admit him into Paradise', and whoever seeks deliverance from the Fire three times, the Fire says: 'O Allah, save him from the Fire." (Sunan tirmidhi no 2572)
Say:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ (O Allah I ask you for jannah) 3 times
and
اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ (O Allah save me from the hellfire) 3 times
Al-Bukhaari (2790) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “In Paradise there are one hundred levels that Allah has prepared for those who strive in jihad for the sake of Allah. The distance between each two levels is like the distance between heaven and earth. So if you ask of Allah, then ask Him for al-Firdaws, for it is the middle of Paradise and the highest part of Paradise. I think above it is the Throne of the Most Gracious, and from it spring the rivers of Paradise.”
May Allah make us amongst those who learn, reflect, and implement good deeds as well as grant us all Guidance to the right path and Jannatul Firdaws. Ameen
جزاكم الله خير
Mohamed Messenger of Allah.
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
Very good video, inspiring, well done, please continue your great work.
Abbas r.z uncle of Prophet s.a.w.w said
PROPHET s.a.w.w when you born entire universe was illuminated with light of your Noor .
Alhamdulillah!!!...😀..❤..😊..☝🏿..✌🏿..☺..✌🏿..👍🏿..👋🏿.
Then Ibn-Al-Walid (don’t know if it’s correct) conquered almost the entire middle east defeating the Sassanids and also Heraclius himself in the battle of Yarmuk
Khalid Ibn Al Walid RA yeah
A cool dude 😎👍🏻
Πανος Παραπανος In fact, both defeated the Sassanids (Arabs took the larger amount of territory but the Romans took the ones nearby the Levant aka the richer ones)
The Arabs like you said then ran over the Romans. The battle of Al Yarmuk was the turning point so I don’t see how he is wrong.
Πανος Παραπανος I was just proving your point actually but also stating that the Arabs also took down the Persians with the Romans. Then the Arabs like you said ran over the Romans.
Πανος Παραπανος They were taken down by both but the Romans has the stronger role to play. Your acting as if the Romans fully occupied Persian until the Arabs came.
What does your claim that the Arabs did force the Persians but the Romans didn’t have to do with anything. I disagree with you but I won’t diverge the topic.
Maa sha Allah
Just imagine if Hercules was alive right now to see for himself how Islam has become the fastest growing religion on earth, and still growing strong, I think that he also would of converted from pagan past to Islam..Allah huack barr.
Islam began to spread very much in his own lifetime. Muslims had conquered a lot of the Roman Empire in his own lifetime
@@m.h.b8478 The Battle of Yarmuk sealed the fate of the Levant for Eastern Rome.
He wasn't pagan, he was a Christian. The Persians were Pagans (Zoroastrian).
Allahu Akbar. Nabi(s.a.w) is the Mercy for all of us
I thank ALLAH we belog to the Ummah of Muhammad PBUH.
It is only Islam which invites Jews and Christians to unite on common terms. Come to the common terms between you and us. Conflicts will be resovled only when we get close to eachother.
Well that's utter bullshit.
Quran (9:30) - "And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!"
You wanna spout anything more historically absurd?
@@ProtomanButCallMeBlues So whats your point ? Jews and Christians invented their own useless concepts which had in place in divine revelations.
Mashallah love our profeet sws our messenger ❤️🙏🙏
" This *is not* a face of liar" ... Rabin Jew From Madina Abdullah ibn Salam(s)
Write Masha Allah seperately because it may mean something else when written together.
Imagine this letter has been preserved till nowadays
Heraclius was rather tragic figure.
He did started a civil war when Persian invaded Roman empire, even if Phocas was a bit of an incompetant jerk.
He was nearly overthrown after loosing huge chunk of the Empire (Levant and later Egypt) and somehow managed to get it all back with a battered army while also fighting the Bulgars and Avars in the north.
Then by the time Muhammad sent him the letter, he was reported to be somewhat senile...also being remembered for "that emperor who had to see the most tragic part of Byzantine history".
Have you heard of the story of Darth Heraklius the Greek?, it's a story the Roman wouldn't tell you. It was said that he was so Chad that even Khosrau lost all of the levant at the sight of him.
Yeah I always feel so sad for Heraclius. He deposed Phokas because Phokas was stupid and twiddled his thumbs while the Persians were capturing Roman territory. He inherited an Empire on the verge of destruction yet through sheer tenacity he managed to reverse Persian gains after a long and bloody war. Then, when he finally achieved victory (as was predicted by the Quran), his gains were reversed and he barely managed to save the Empire from complete devastation yet again until his death.
Jazaakumullahu Khairan
great video of my Muhammad SAW
Crazy Videos it was actually about a just ruler in Abyssinia whom when the Muslims migrated there from Mecca, he took care of them. But of course it always does connect with Rasool’Allahi صلى الله عليه وسلم :)
Thanks for reminding us
He, peace be upon him wears the seal of prophethood in between his shouler blades and has been given the honour of leading all previous prophets and messengers including Abraham, Noah, Jesus and Moses in prayer to establish himself as the leader of mankind and jinnkind.
The letter can't stop my tears
I wonder what they were discussing before Abu Sufiyan was ordered to leave..
Replace the (dot) with a real dot and press enter for the answer to your question. The narrator of this video is Ustadh, 'Abduraheem Green (may Allah preserve and reward him), and the story he's telling, comes from the very first of Ahadith of Sahih al-Bukhari.
Here's the link with the complete Isnad, and links to who the men in the chain are:

This letter, and others, are documented historically. I also believe a copy of which is kept in museums as far I remember.
I love them so much ❤❤ I live all our prophets and how much hardship and live that had for our beautiful religion!!
Muslims didn't make any disparaging remarks about Heraclius. Respect.
Give the Quran a shot you wont regret
Ash-had in-a la ilaha ila Allah wa ash-hadu ina Mohamad rasul Allah
Amazing. سبحان الله ❤️
MASALLAH. IT WAS AN WONDERFUL VIDEO
Write Masha Allah seperately because it may mean something else when written together.
اللهم صل وسلم وبارك على سيدنا محمد،املأوا اوقااكم بذكر الله
as reply to the message in the end of this vid by heracilius himself - Islamic historians often cite a letter that they claim Heraclius wrote to Muhammad: "I have received your letter with your ambassador and I testify that you are the messenger of God found in our New Testament. Jesus, son of Mary, announced you."
i just found this video and i am agnostic without religious affiliation. i just wanna keep it historically accurate
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:
Abu Sufyan bin Harb informed me that Heraclius had sent a messenger to him while he had been accompanying a caravan from Quraish. They were merchants doing business in Sham (Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan), at the time when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had truce with Abu Sufyan and Quraish infidels. So Abu Sufyan and his companions went to Heraclius at Ilya (Jerusalem). Heraclius called them in the court and he had all the senior Roman dignitaries around him. He called for his translator who, translating Heraclius's question said to them, "Who amongst you is closely related to that man who claims to be a Prophet?" Abu Sufyan replied, "I am the nearest relative to him (amongst the group)."
Heraclius said, "Bring him (Abu Sufyan) close to me and make his companions stand behind him." Abu Sufyan added, Heraclius told his translator to tell my companions that he wanted to put some questions to me regarding that man (The Prophet) and that if I told a lie they (my companions) should contradict me." Abu Sufyan added, "By Allah! Had I not been afraid of my companions labeling me a liar, I would not have spoken the truth about the Prophet. The first question he asked me about him was:
'What is his family status amongst you?'
I replied, 'He belongs to a good (noble) family amongst us.'
Heraclius further asked, 'Has anybody amongst you ever claimed the same (i.e. to be a Prophet) before him?'
I replied, 'No.'
He said, 'Was anybody amongst his ancestors a king?'
I replied, 'No.'
Heraclius asked, 'Do the nobles or the poor follow him?'
I replied, 'It is the poor who follow him.'
He said, 'Are his followers increasing decreasing (day by day)?'
I replied, 'They are increasing.'
He then asked, 'Does anybody amongst those who embrace his religion become displeased and renounce the religion afterwards?'
I replied, 'No.'
Heraclius said, 'Have you ever accused him of telling lies before his claim (to be a Prophet)?'
I replied, 'No. '
Heraclius said, 'Does he break his promises?'
I replied, 'No. We are at truce with him but we do not know what he will do in it.' I could not find opportunity to say anything against him except that.
Heraclius asked, 'Have you ever had a war with him?'
I replied, 'Yes.'
Then he said, 'What was the outcome of the battles?'
I replied, 'Sometimes he was victorious and sometimes we.'
Heraclius said, 'What does he order you to do?'
I said, 'He tells us to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship anything along with Him, and to renounce all that our ancestors had said. He orders us to pray, to speak the truth, to be chaste and to keep good relations with our Kith and kin.'
Heraclius asked the translator to convey to me the following, I asked you about his family and your reply was that he belonged to a very noble family. In fact all the Apostles come from noble families amongst their respective peoples. I questioned you whether anybody else amongst you claimed such a thing, your reply was in the negative. If the answer had been in the affirmative, I would have thought that this man was following the previous man's statement. Then I asked you whether anyone of his ancestors was a king. Your reply was in the negative, and if it had been in the affirmative, I would have thought that this man wanted to take back his ancestral kingdom.
I further asked whether he was ever accused of telling lies before he said what he said, and your reply was in the negative. So I wondered how a person who does not tell a lie about others could ever tell a lie about Allah. I, then asked you whether the rich people followed him or the poor. You replied that it was the poor who followed him. And in fact all the Apostle have been followed by this very class of people. Then I asked you whether his followers were increasing or decreasing. You replied that they were increasing, and in fact this is the way of true faith, till it is complete in all respects. I further asked you whether there was anybody, who, after embracing his religion, became displeased and discarded his religion. Your reply was in the negative, and in fact this is (the sign of) true faith, when its delight enters the hearts and mixes with them completely. I asked you whether he had ever betrayed. You replied in the negative and likewise the Apostles never betray. Then I asked you what he ordered you to do. You replied that he ordered you to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship any thing along with Him and forbade you to worship idols and ordered you to pray, to speak the truth and to be chaste. If what you have said is true, he will very soon occupy this place underneath my feet and I knew it (from the scriptures) that he was going to appear but I did not know that he would be from you, and if I could reach him definitely, I would go immediately to meet him and if I were with him, I would certainly wash his feet.' Heraclius then asked for the letter addressed by Allah's Apostle
which was delivered by Dihya to the Governor of Busra, who forwarded it to Heraclius to read. The contents of the letter were as follows: "In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful (This letter is) from Muhammad the slave of Allah and His Apostle to Heraclius the ruler of Byzantine. Peace be upon him, who follows the right path. Furthermore I invite you to Islam, and if you become a Muslim you will be safe, and Allah will double your reward, and if you reject this invitation of Islam you will be committing a sin by misguiding your Arisiyin (peasants). (And I recite to you Allah's Statement:)
'O people of the scripture! Come to a word common to you and us that we worship none but Allah and that we associate nothing in worship with Him, and that none of us shall take others as Lords beside Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims (those who have surrendered to Allah).' (3:64).
Abu Sufyan then added, "When Heraclius had finished his speech and had read the letter, there was a great hue and cry in the Royal Court. So we were turned out of the court. I told my companions that the question of Ibn-Abi-Kabsha) (the Prophet (ﷺ) Muhammad) has become so prominent that even the King of Bani Al-Asfar (Byzantine) is afraid of him. Then I started to become sure that he (the Prophet) would be the conqueror in the near future till I embraced Islam (i.e. Allah guided me to it)."
The sub narrator adds, "Ibn An-Natur was the Governor of llya' (Jerusalem) and Heraclius was the head of the Christians of Sham. Ibn An-Natur narrates that once while Heraclius was visiting ilya' (Jerusalem), he got up in the morning with a sad mood. Some of his priests asked him why he was in that mood? Heraclius was a foreteller and an astrologer. He replied, 'At night when I looked at the stars, I saw that the leader of those who practice circumcision had appeared (become the conqueror). Who are they who practice circumcision?' The people replied, 'Except the Jews nobody practices circumcision, so you should not be afraid of them (Jews).
'Just Issue orders to kill every Jew present in the country.'
While they were discussing it, a messenger sent by the king of Ghassan to convey the news of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to Heraclius was brought in. Having heard the news, he (Heraclius) ordered the people to go and see whether the messenger of Ghassan was circumcised. The people, after seeing him, told Heraclius that he was circumcised. Heraclius then asked him about the Arabs. The messenger replied, 'Arabs also practice circumcision.'
(After hearing that) Heraclius remarked that sovereignty of the 'Arabs had appeared. Heraclius then wrote a letter to his friend in Rome who was as good as Heraclius in knowledge. Heraclius then left for Homs. (a town in Syrian and stayed there till he received the reply of his letter from his friend who agreed with him in his opinion about the emergence of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the fact that he was a Prophet. On that Heraclius invited all the heads of the Byzantines to assemble in his palace at Homs. When they assembled, he ordered that all the doors of his palace be closed. Then he came out and said, 'O Byzantines! If success is your desire and if you seek right guidance and want your empire to remain then give a pledge of allegiance to this Prophet (i.e. embrace Islam).'
(On hearing the views of Heraclius) the people ran towards the gates of the palace like onagers but found the doors closed. Heraclius realized their hatred towards Islam and when he lost the hope of their embracing Islam, he ordered that they should be brought back in audience.
(When they returned) he said, 'What already said was just to test the strength of your conviction and I have seen it.' The people prostrated before him and became pleased with him, and this was the end of Heraclius's story (in connection with his faith).

@How Would The Unwary Know it looks like He was convinced after exchange of letters and He sends His messagers to know the truth but After consulting with His patriarchs and advisers He realised they are not going to accept this and if He accepts they are going to rebel against Him,
He didn't accept Islam and later on fought against caliphate armies to save his kingdom as any king would do.
There is similar story of Egyptian patriarch Muqauqis He sends presents and gifts to Prophet but didn't accept Islam
Reply from the Persian king Khusru parvaiz was not positive He tore the letter and said How this Arab man wrote his before kings name and He immediately sends His Persian officer to governor of Yemen telling Him that He want Him to be arrested
Governor of Yemen sends two of his soldiers to tell the Prophet that He wants his arrest He should surrender to order of Persian king in night Prophet SAW call them and informed them that their Master has been killed they went back and found that khusru prevaiz was killed by his son on that night
Ya Rusool Allah, peace be upon him

May Allah bless every Muslim in the world Ameen🤍🤍❤️❤️💙💙
even heraculus was impressed from our Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.S)... Allah.o.Akbar.
ASHHADU.ALLAH ILLAHA ILLALAHO WA-ASHHADU ANA MUHAMMADAN ABDUHO WA RASOOLO.....
Assalaam Alekum Brother. Did Heracles convert ? Or was he afraid of his fellow Council nobles ?
Ibrahim Hussein no he didn't. Because of fear that he might lose his kingdom.
So he chose dunya over akkhira?
Maaz Ahmed Is it in the ahadith? if it so then thank uh i ws wondering what happen thn next...
Allah knows he did or didn't. Might be possible he hadn't exposed his faith in Islam.
he did not choose Islam.. in sahih bukhari it is said:
Heraclius then invited all the chiefs of the Byzantines and had them assembled in his house and said, "O group of Byzantines! Do you wish to have a permanent success and guidance and that your kingdom should remain with you (i.e. inviting them to Islam)?" (Immediately after hearing that), they rushed towards the gate like onagers, but they found them closed. Heraclius then said, "Bring them back to me." So he called them and said, "I just wanted to test the strength of your adherence to your religion. Now I have observed of you that which I like." Then the people fell in prostration before him and became pleased with him.
Allah taala don't care about your king queen minister vip prime minister rich wealth,power& ,strength,famous,but Allah command to obey rasullallah and worship Allah taala alone /tauhid,Allahua'lam
The most calmly speaking just like it's just in front of me that happened.
That letter honestly gave me goosebumps. Wow!
How could anyone claim such a false statement against the Prophet? He was pure and righteous, humble, modest, cordial and respectful to all people of different religions... Emperor Heraclius was just scared out of his pants by how righteously intimidating prophet Muhammad was.

So I wondered how a person who does not tell a lie about others could ever tell a lie about Allah. I, then asked you whether the rich people followed him or the poor. You replied that it was the poor who followed him. And in fact all the Apostle have been followed by this very class of people. Then I asked you whether his followers were increasing or decreasing. You replied that they were increasing, and in fact this is the way of true faith, till it is complete in all respects. I further asked you whether there was anybody, who, after embracing his religion, became displeased and discarded his religion. Your reply was in the negative, and in fact this is (the sign of) true faith, when its delight enters the hearts and mixes with them completely. I asked you whether he had ever betrayed. You replied in the negative and likewise the Apostles never betray. Then I asked you what he ordered you to do. You replied that he ordered you to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship any thing along with Him and forbade you to worship idols and ordered you to pray, to speak the truth and to be chaste. If what you have said is true, he will very soon occupy this place underneath my feet and I knew it (from the scriptures) that he was going to appear but I did not know that he would be from you, and if I could reach him definitely, I would go immediately to meet him and if I were with him, I would certainly wash his feet.' Heraclius then asked for the letter addressed by Allah's Apostle
which was delivered by Dihya to the Governor of Busra, who forwarded it to Heraclius to read. The contents of the letter were as follows: "In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful (This letter is) from Muhammad the slave of Allah and His Apostle to Heraclius the ruler of Byzantine. Peace be upon him, who follows the right path. Furthermore I invite you to Islam, and if you become a Muslim you will be safe, and Allah will double your reward, and if you reject this invitation of Islam you will be committing a sin by misguiding your Arisiyin (peasants). (And I recite to you Allah's Statement:)
'O people of the scripture! Come to a word common to you and us that we worship none but Allah and that we associate nothing in worship with Him, and that none of us shall take others as Lords beside Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims (those who have surrendered to Allah).' (3:64).
Abu Sufyan then added, "When Heraclius had finished his speech and had read the letter, there was a great hue and cry in the Royal Court. So we were turned out of the court. I told my companions that the question of Ibn-Abi-Kabsha) (the Prophet (ﷺ) Muhammad) has become so prominent that even the King of Bani Al-Asfar (Byzantine) is afraid of him. Then I started to become sure that he (the Prophet) would be the conqueror in the near future till I embraced Islam (i.e. Allah guided me to it)."
The sub narrator adds, "Ibn An-Natur was the Governor of llya' (Jerusalem) and Heraclius was the head of the Christians of Sham. Ibn An-Natur narrates that once while Heraclius was visiting ilya' (Jerusalem), he got up in the morning with a sad mood. Some of his priests asked him why he was in that mood? Heraclius was a foreteller and an astrologer. He replied, 'At night when I looked at the stars, I saw that the leader of those who practice circumcision had appeared (become the conqueror). Who are they who practice circumcision?' The people replied, 'Except the Jews nobody practices circumcision, so you should not be afraid of them (Jews).
'Just Issue orders to kill every Jew present in the country.'
While they were discussing it, a messenger sent by the king of Ghassan to convey the news of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to Heraclius was brought in. Having heard the news, he (Heraclius) ordered the people to go and see whether the messenger of Ghassan was circumcised. The people, after seeing him, told Heraclius that he was circumcised. Heraclius then asked him about the Arabs. The messenger replied, 'Arabs also practice circumcision.'
(After hearing that) Heraclius remarked that sovereignty of the 'Arabs had appeared. Heraclius then wrote a letter to his friend in Rome who was as good as Heraclius in knowledge. Heraclius then left for Homs. (a town in Syrian and stayed there till he received the reply of his letter from his friend who agreed with him in his opinion about the emergence of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the fact that he was a Prophet. On that Heraclius invited all the heads of the Byzantines to assemble in his palace at Homs. When they assembled, he ordered that all the doors of his palace be closed. Then he came out and said, 'O Byzantines! If success is your desire and if you seek right guidance and want your empire to remain then give a pledge of allegiance to this Prophet (i.e. embrace Islam).'
(On hearing the views of Heraclius) the people ran towards the gates of the palace like onagers but found the doors closed. Heraclius realized their hatred towards Islam and when he lost the hope of their embracing Islam, he ordered that they should be brought back in audience.
(When they returned) he said, 'What already said was just to test the strength of your conviction and I have seen it.' The people prostrated before him and became pleased with him, and this was the end of Heraclius's story (in connection with his faith).
