Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah ala alihi wa sahbihi Ultramarine. So then when they come to LA he was
continuing with our series here in the month of Ramadan where we are looking at an exploring dimension and the concepts of peace tranquility serenity in the Quran.
Today we're going to be looking at
a set of verses ayat from Surah Surah number six, we've talked about the suit on previously, the ayat that we're looking at today are is 125 126 and 27.
In these ayat Allah subhanaw taala
he begins by saying, For me you did Allahu and yeah, do who.
Whenever Allah wants to guide someone, whenever Allah wants to guide someone, yes, Shara Sodre, who lil Islam. Allah opens, expands that person's chest for Islam.
Meaning Allah subhanaw taala
opens up the person's heart and allows them to really embrace their faith and to be able to internalize that guidance from Allah to take in that light. And to be able to experience that peace and tranquility we're talking about.
Well, man, you read the annual dilemma.
But when Allah wants to misguide someone,
yet you're also Dora who died and hydrogen.
Then Allah makes their heart, their chest, constricted, tight.
That it they experience an uneasiness hydrogen.
They feel uneasy. They feel constricted, tight, can undermine your saw or doofus.
As if that person is climbing up into the sky, flying straight up into the sky, and the idea is, they feel like they can't breathe.
They feel like they can't breathe.
Today alakija Allah Allahu Allah, Allah.
And Allah says that that is how Allah inflicts his punishment, his consequences upon those people who do not believe
that when people refuse to believe in what Allah has set down, they refuse to open their hearts to the guidance, the revelation from Allah. This is how Allah punishes them in this dunya that their chests become constricted, they can't breathe, they feel uneasy. They feel like something's wrong all the time. What we're essentially describing here is the opposite of tranquility. It's the opposite of peace. It's the opposite of serenity.
And Allah says that going back to the first point, to open your heart,
to open your, your your mind, your heart, to the Quran, to Islam, to the guidance and revelation from Allah.
Wa Serato become a stocky man, that this is the path of your Lord laid out very clearly for you.
But the first Sunlen Ayatollah Khomeini at the Quran, Allah says that we have so clearly laid out our signs, we have so clearly laid out all the road signs,
all the guidance, all the direction that is needed in order to reach the destination. Lee call me at the karoun for people who are willing to take heed for people who are willing to pay attention for people who are willing to look and listen
for people who are willing to think about what is being said to them.
And then finally, Allah says,
law whom dad was Salah
law whom Darussalam
reserved for these people is the house of peace
with their Lord. Now what's really fascinating is we see this word a salam, peace, tranquility, but there is a place that is being described as peaceful. There is a place that has been
characterized with this piece Dar Salam, what does that exactly mean? What does that refer to? So some of the scholars mentioned a Salam is one of the names and the attributes of Allah.
So that was salam means the place, that is that Allah has reserved, the place where you get to be near Allah, the place where you get to see Allah, you get to talk to Allah, you get to be near Allah, that place.
So it's a place of closeness and nearness to Allah. That's Darussalam.
It's also described as paradise. Paradise is called that of Santa. Because paradise is the place where you'll never have to worry about anything ever again.
You will never experience any difficulty you will never experience any anxiety. You'll never have any kind of nervousness. You'll never fear anything. You'll never need anything. It's the ultimate place of peace and tranquility, the abode of fulfillment. Allah subhanaw taala describes this in the Quran. Allah says women are in the who like a stuck we don't
that people who are near Allah, there is no conceit. There is no arrogance. There is no aggression. There is no transgression near Allah. Allah subhanaw taala. In the Quran, he describes paradise to us in a very beautiful succinct way, where Allah subhanaw taala tells us that paradise is that place, that
filata Allah, Allah, Allah who made karate Aryan, no so can fathom the kind of peace and tranquility that is reserved for people in paradise. Local V. hamata. Shaheed unphysical welcome down, that everything you could ever desire will be made readily available to you. And everything that you were promised will be delivered to you in paradise, that's the place that paradise is. So that's called that of Santa.
And that paradise is reserved with for them with their Lord. But yet, there's a third meaning built into this idea as well that'll set up the scholars also explained them with us and explain Darussalam can also be in reference to this world. For some people, this world this dunya will become their Dharamsala
because Allah will grant them peace and tranquility. Allah says in the Quran, but amela Salah Hanneman Dhaka in a window movement, whoever lives our life of devotion to Allah, being male or female, and they believe in Allah and they live a life of devotion Allah Fela, no, he had no who hates Kiba we will grant them a beautiful life, a beautiful life. There's a very beautiful Hadith booty, a sacred narration, a sacred tradition that says the Allah says Allah, Delmon, Kassala Tico Luba humbly agilely.
I am with the ones who have humbled their hearts for me.
They have humbled themselves, they've discarded all the vanity of this world.
They don't play the games of this dunya anymore. And they've humbled themselves for me, Allah says that I am with them.
So, the life of this road can become the home and the peace, the home in the place in the abode of peace and tranquility for a person if they are willing to fulfill the earlier conditions. And that is, they are willing to live a life where they open their minds and their hearts to the Quran and revelation will who will will lead you and Allah will be their ally, Allah will be their friend that it can be and Allah Molendinar Xena Ave Kathleen Allah. Because Allah subhanaw taala says that Allah is the ally and the friend of the believers and those who reject belief in Allah and don't believe in Allah.
