Strange predictions & prophecies: Abu al Hakam ibn Barrajan & Jerusalem | Mufti Abu Layth

um i thought this unveiling speaking of unveiling let me tell you a little incident in muslim history um the you know there was a a scholar who became contra was very controversial from from muslim spain 900 years ago approximately this guy's name was

now he was quite a con controversial figure because he had a following he had a murid ship if you like and there was even a revolt by his murids later on but he was incredibly intelligent and he was also a kind of friend and a follower follower loosely as in not a tariqa sufi follower because he had his own kind of but he was influenced by the sufi of allah arif with him aru for kind of very close friends and they both get into political trouble as well because allegedly they seem to be undermining the al-murabit

the murabithin so they get called to summon to court and he eventually is killed as well um ibn barajan he dies and is you know and and then his followers have this revolt and everything but he was in his own ways an absolute genius and he was termed the rosalie of alandalus they call him now he's one of amongst his works i i don't think his works have really survived but amongst them was the tafseer of the quran now what's interesting he's from the early 6th century that's when he mainly is writing and teaching and everything like

that although he was born in the fifth century islamic fifth century um now right so he's a contemporary of people like all the yards he's a contemporary of these people so he's around when these huge dons are around and he makes a prophecy this is intriguing what do you think about this this is like um he says that and this is in the early 300s he makes a prophecy i think it may have been uh in early it may have been 510 or between

520 or something around that kind of time he makes a prophecy that jerusalem which has been captured by that time by the crusaders will be recaptured by the muslims but he doesn't stop there he says it will be recaptured on the 27th of rajab in the year 583 hijri [Laughter] high

[Laughter] this is uh so he makes this prediction this like he really narrows it i'm not like a vague prediction he says that jerusalem will be recaptured by the muslims and and you know to to make this so like he dies in the early 5 30 something some say 5 31 or 5 36 or but he dies like approximately 50 years prior to his

prediction date right so he's predicted that in 583 hijri on in the month of rajab on the day the 27th al-khuds will be once again liberated and lo and behold that is exactly what happens salahuddin ayubi liberates al-qud's jerusalem on the 27th of rajab in the year 583 hijri

almost 50 years after the death of ibn [Laughter] foreign these things come to me from the unseen intuitively that my writings are the intimations and whispering of the angels that this see what and people you see at that

what happened is ibn barajan's prophecy was kind of forgotten but he had written it in history but what happens is a poet also later on quotes it vaguely he says something praising salahuddin and then people uh he just praises the month or something and it happens uh and then people ask him and he says oh i've read this in uh ibn barajan stuff so all these people check it like including ibn khali khan and all these people check it and it's there you know and even you get people like ibn kathir although i'm not sure if kathir mentions

him but he mentions the thing [Music] and what was this about i mean how did that happen i find it so amazing and i feel this is my theory i feel that i mean people could say it's a guess but i feel that you know ibn arif and these people these kind of sufis they have long dabbled in psychedelic kind of experiences and i feel that they may have been

what if there is this kind of like this kind of realm thing i mean it could just be that he just you know saw a vision and got it right he never clearly explains how he saw it some people they guessed that oh he he made some calculation and he made um and he doesn't fully explain he says that it was you know it's kind of been unveiled to me by my reading and my but yeah i feel that is this how for example how jeremy naby speaks of the shamans seeing certain things is there a

um can we see certain things if consciousness is lowered i find that just incredibly interesting i'm not saying we can but i'm finding it interesting this whole realm of consciousness yeah let's move on people let's move
