Since to do this we've had many people to do it, but we're going to welcome you to our community as if you're the first

So I'm going to ask you to repeat after me in insha'Allah first in Arabic and then in English

Asshadu, Allah, Ilaha, Allah, Ilah, Allah, Wa, Wa Asshadu, Allah, Muhammad, Rasul, Allah, I bear witness that there is only one God and that Muhammad is his final messenger.

It's a good time.

Welcome home, insha'Allah you can have a seat and all the brothers will hug you in about an hour.

Insha'Allah, hopefully they won't forget by then.

Congratulations, we ask Allah SWT to bless you in your journey and to keep you firm and steadfast and to protect you and to allow you to find the best of this life and the best of the next through this journey.

So tonight in inshaAllah, we are going to be continuing with another one of our mothers, another one of the wives of the Prophet

Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam, and certainly one of the most unique stories that we find from the seat of the Prophet

Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam. And it's interesting because her name is very common amongst the Muslims, Safiya,

the name Safiya, you will find very common amongst the Muslims unlike the name Jewaria for example. But there are so much

to her story about the life of a woman that lives under suspicion as a convert to Islam because of her background.

And that is of course that Safiya, the only wife of the Prophet Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam from a Jewish background.

In fact she's the only wife of the Prophet Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam who's not from an Arab background. So she has a very unique story.

And of course there's much wisdom and as we said, if you look at the nature of the enemies of the Prophet Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam at the time,

he marries three daughters of three of the chiefs of his enemies. Abu Sufyan from Quraysh, he marries Umhabiba,

and Abu Sufyan would of course become Muslim. He marries Jewaria, the daughter of the chief of Ben and Mustafa,

who was plotting on the Prophet Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam, and the daughter became Muslim as a result of that.

And of course here Safiya, the daughter of one of the chief enemies of the Prophet Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam,

who did not become Muslim. But of course one of the greatest ways as we said that you find a people come together

is through the marriage of a leader to someone from that tribe.
