founded over.

This seminar inshallah will give you an opportunity to, in calculate within yourself the love of
Quran and the prophets of Allah, you will discover how lessons from the surah can be used in your
life and reflect on the wisdom contained in Allah. Revelation. Allah subhanaw taala says, The
meaning of which is valid tell you the best of story. It tells you the best story the reading is
foreign to you before this were one of those who knew nothing about them. So he uses and number
three. This course is literally bursting with an amazing amount of content from tafsir paisa
00:03:05 -->
00:03:10
matters of heart and the science of Quran. The surah is literally drenched in lessons.
00:03:11 -->
00:03:18
Allah subhanaw taala says the meaning of riches in the stories, there's a lesson for the people
imbued with understanding.
00:03:20 -->
00:03:30
Literally, it would take you months to study the fate of the surah on your own, and it still
wouldn't have achieved what inshallah in this one weekend we'll be learning.
00:03:33 -->
00:04:11

Indeed all praises belong to Allah subhanho wa Taala Anna, we praise Allah subhanho wa Taala Anna,
and we seek his assistance, and we seek His guidance to Hannah who was the era and we seek refuge in
Allah subhanho wa Taala from the evils of ourselves and the adverse consequences of our deeds.
Whomsoever Allah subhanho wa Taala decrees guidance upon the noncom misguide him, and whomsoever
Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah decrease misguidance upon the man can guide him and peace and
salutations be upon the final messenger. Our beloved Mohammed Abdullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:06:33 -->
00:06:34
and our children of Adam.
00:06:36 -->
00:07:11
Indeed, all praises belongs to Allah subhanho wa Taala. For he has gathered us here together in a
blessed gathering, a gathering that has come together to learn the most noblest of knowledge, a
gathering that has come together to study a surah from the book of Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah, Al
Quran and Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said about this gathering much tamakoshi beighton

Ella's book. We're here today rasuna who FEMA baina home and they study his books of Hannah who were
to Allah between them, except that Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah showered upon them blessings from
these blessings is that content Mint is caused to descend upon them and from these blessings is that
Allah subhanho wa Taala causes them to be engulfed in the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And from
00:07:59 -->
00:08:48
these blessings is that Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah causes angels to surround this gathering and
from these blessings is that Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah mentions the people of this gathering
with those that are with Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah, meaning the angels imagine Allah subhanho wa
Taala mentioning us specifically to those that are with Allah subhanho wa Taala and what an amazing
prize. This is now a mammoth show Can you hashmatullah here LA. He says that these blessings are not
specific to those who study this in the masjid Allah. Raja Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said in the masjid because the norm was that education would happen in the massages. But the
00:08:48 -->
00:09:09
benefits of this hadith apply to any gathering that comes together to learn from the book of Allah
subhanho wa Taala that come to learn from the inheritance of Muhammad Ali Abdullah Saleh Allahu
alayhi wa sallam and our share Sadie Bonanza 300 Allah He says that this hadith
00:09:10 -->
00:09:17
also includes those who study online who study the subject matter online because this is
00:09:18 -->
00:09:41
excuse my clearing of the voice. We spoke a lot over the last few days on Islamic finance. And your
questions were even more than what we discussed. Mashallah, so it's good any time as a couple okay,
but it was very enjoyable by the way vertical Alfie Kohn for the opportunity to teach this course to
kalama and to you all for attending the program.
00:09:42 -->
00:09:59
So our chef says that today, learning takes place online. We have virtual classrooms, we have
virtual classrooms, like we have with knowledge International University, our university Mashallah
that Allah subhanho wa Taala blessed us to be a part of and
00:10:00 -->
00:10:29
On and many of you are students there as well. So he says, Have you the law, that these blessings
also apply to those who study the inheritance of Hamas salallahu alayhi wasallam online. The essence
behind all this is understand the reality of the gathering that you are in right now. Don't take
this gathering as a trivial one. Don't take this gathering as a Normal University lecture that we
attend that we sit and
00:10:31 -->
00:10:59
enjoy. May Allah subhanho wa Taala make it enjoyable. Now, understand the reality, there is a
greater substance behind you leaving your home and coming here, there's a greater substance and
because the substance is so great, the price is great. And we know that LG has a vengeance 11 that
the price is based on the effort exerted in management they say reward is proportional to effort.
00:11:00 -->
00:11:38
reward is proportional to effort. And the shittier we say altruism engines lambda, the rewards, the
rewards, the true rewards, not the monetary rewards, the rewards are also equivalent to the reality
of the efforts. So this is the effort that you are engaged in right now. So never ever forget this.
My dear brothers and sisters and thank Allah subhanho wa Taala for inspiring us to be here for
inspiring us to be here. Many people heard about this particular program, but were not inspired to
be here. Many people heard about it, but we're not inspired to be and some people didn't hear about
it until the last minute. And Allah subhanho wa Taala inspired them to
00:11:39 -->
00:12:27
to attend these are from the blessings of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So he increases for us. So
indeed, all praises belong to Allah subhanho wa Taala. My dear brothers and sisters, we are or have
come together to learn from Surah Yusuf and surah Yusuf is a beloved surah to myself, as is all the
sewer in the Quran. This surah has a special attachment because I've been researching it since 2006.
I've been researching it since 2006. So there's many benefits that I've come across from the
writings of the scholars, many personal experiences myself that I have come across that will be
shared with you during our sessions together. And Allah has blessed me to teach the surah on an
00:12:27 -->
00:13:08
international platform, I've traveled to many countries teaching it as well. And I can promise you
that every time I teach it, there's some new lesson that I gather from it and share with the crowd
This is how amazing the Quran is. We always derive from the secrets of the Quran as Allah subhanho
wa Taala unlocked our hearts to it magnanimous lessons that have a high level of impact in our
lives. So this is the Quran and this is what inshallah my objective is from our weekend together is
to highlight to you how applicable the Quran is in our lives and how the grind is not a book that's
really read. But the essence behind it revelation is that as we had our brother sell man, when he
00:13:08 -->
00:13:37
introduced this program to you say the Quran was revealed for the double Kitab Bonanza Allahu
alayka. Mubarak and Leah de baru it was the attacker Allah Al Bab, a blessing Book which We have
revealed to you, oh, Mohammed, why, so that they may ponder over it as ponder the devil when he
attacked Kuru Al Bab and so that those of understanding will remember. So yes, we must read the
Quran. And yes, we must listen to it.
00:13:40 -->
00:13:51
And yes, we must memorize it. But the essence behind it must play the major part in our lives. And
that essence is the bore and pondering over the lessons here.
00:13:52 -->
00:14:00
What is the double, the dark blue is unlocking the secrets of the eye through pondering over the
eye.
00:14:02 -->
00:14:05
Understanding the eye or from different angles.
00:14:07 -->
00:14:48
As the scholars say the Quran has secrets behind it. And the secrets are unlocked to those that
Allah subhanho wa Taala wills. And this is the essence of this course brothers and sisters, I know.
It's loosely said that we're going to be doing a Tafseer of surah Yusuf, but I don't want to call it
the Tafseer of surah Yusuf it is a type of Tafseer it can be called seed, but I want to highlight it
being two days together where we ponder over the lessons behind the ayah in Surah Yusuf and this is
what we will do with illa hytera. Yes, we are some portions that are Tafseer heavy, so that you have
a feel of what the scholars are how the scholars have to deal with the text, but it's a sort of
00:14:48 -->
00:14:59
coming together of what all the scholars have to say and some scholars do this tafsir de Buri, where
they actually extrapolate and extrapolate and you see that the Quran is
00:15:01 -->
00:15:31
Depending on where it's read, gives you an understanding. So Pamela, I've read surah Yusuf in the
plane. And my understanding behind some is have never been understood by myself when I've read it on
the ground. And I'm sure yesterday when I scuba dive divided underwater, I would have deduced
lessons that I wouldn't have deduced reading it on the Quran. It's not like a book that you read and
you've read it and you put away the Quran is a blessing book.
00:15:33 -->
00:16:06
Every time you read it in something new, you look forward to starting it again. Because what is
Allah going to teach me during this recitation? For those who ponder, so this is what we're going to
be doing. inshallah, you can see how, even without losing my voice, I'm still here to teach you that
don't ever give up the opportunity to teach this particular surah and matters of the Quran is always
Beloved, trust me, Allah subhanho wa Taala raised us with the family of alcohol and piano, I mean,
now normally during these courses, I like to move around. It's not like the fifth course, that we
did earlier. For those who've attended to the use of with me, I'm, I'm moving around on stage and
00:16:06 -->
00:16:52
into the crowd. And it has to work that way. Because the Quran brings out different emotions, but
I've been asked to stay put, because of that camera. So I will be sitting in sha Allah, but
inshallah we'll still try. We ask Allah subhana wa Taala to keep you all energetic. My dear brothers
and sisters, first things first, we just said how blessed this gathering is. Thus, at this juncture,
before we start dealing with the surah, we must talk about intention, we must speak about intention,
that you've all come here and you will walk away at the end of our time together, having truly
benefited truly benefited. I'm not talking about having ascertain some form of knowledge or
00:16:52 -->
00:17:11
ascertain to panela how amazing the Quran is. And inshallah Allah will give you this understanding,
I'm talking about benefit in its totality. And that starts or that is a package that includes in it
as building our agenda from the time we leave our home, till the time we get back.
00:17:12 -->
00:17:20
And as making our scales of good deeds heavy on the piano, from the time we leave home till the time
we go back.
00:17:21 -->
00:17:27
This is it has to be included in the package. We are engaged in the worship of Allah subhanho wa
Taala.
00:17:28 -->
00:17:47
This is the worship of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And I didn't ask you for because of time, but I'm
pretty sure through experience, I'm pretty sure I would have got the same answers here. If I asked
you why did you come you say to learn about surah Yusuf, someone will say to understand the for
animal, someone will say to help me with Arabic language.
00:17:48 -->
00:17:54
It will revolve around the theme of learning. I want to take you beyond that theme. and say,
00:17:55 -->
00:18:20
You are not here to learn primarily. You are here to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala. This is the
objective behind you being here. The means to attaining that objective is education through the
study of the Quran, that's the means to an end. What's the end of Allah subhanho wa Taala for his
pleasure. There's a difference, if you here to learn. It's not a pure intention.
00:18:22 -->
00:18:24
It's pure, it's Noble.
00:18:25 -->
00:18:29
But let's make it pure. Let's say I'm here for the sake of Allah.
00:18:32 -->
00:19:18
I'm engaged in worship. How have I engaged in worship, through the study of surah Yusuf? Is this
clear? So purify your intentions, my dear brothers and sisters, purify them? Allah says, Allah
qumola at bigger countries of Allied Allah subhanho wa Taala will teach you. So live for Allah
subhanho wa Taala. Live for him. Make everything for the sake of Allah. Never, ever do any act and
make that act and end in and of itself. Every act should be a means to an end. What's the end, the
worship of Allah subhanho wa Taala the worship of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So this is important. My
dear brothers and sisters, as I said, we're going to be going through this is from the pillar or
00:19:18 -->
00:19:46
worldview of the book. And we will take an extrapolate lessons. Write down what you can, but I don't
want you to become lost quote unquote in translation, where you try to write down and we move
forward to other lessons. And then because you're writing one, you missed two or three and then
catch up with me on the fourth. I would prefer for you to focus, seek forgiveness from Allah
subhanho wa Taala. So you open your hearts and
00:19:47 -->
00:20:00
absorb as much as you can absorb as much as you can. Try and follow through absorption inshallah,
when you read the surah yourself afterwards, realities will come to light from that which you've
absorbed, meaning what you've learned.
00:20:00 -->
00:20:21
Insha Allah you will remember as the brothers are saying, inshallah, you will have material recorded
material to ascertain that which you might have lost so, I want you to focus so we take maximum
benefit because the law he is the law he exactly everybody any questions thus far?
00:20:22 -->
00:20:25
Surely they can because that's a good teacher I am
00:20:27 -->
00:20:35
not I'm joking. inshallah Allah will will grant us steadfastness and bless us with the ability to
say a good word inshallah. inshallah. Bye
