The knowledge just fits met also in a shorter meaning,
being famous, you know, people trying to always try to, like especially now everyone wants to be a YouTuber and someone who's famous and everybody recognizes and knows, so sort of the curve was revealed. And it was really the time to keep the Muslims firmstrong to give them to console them also to give them guidance, and in times of hardships and difficulties and times of trials and tribulations, how to deal with some of these trials and tribulations. So the virtues of it are very tremendous. The virtues are sort of recap, most of us already know.
There's a Hadith from beside the Lavon who said that the prophets of Allah radicalism segment or assault,
whoever excites Yama Juba on Juma on Friday, Allah Allah whom in a norma Lena Juma it Allah subhanho wa Taala that light will be admitted for him between the two Juma between to do the two Juma and, and so some of the scholars have mentioned this particular Hadith as being more affordable and it goes to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Right and I'll be happy and Hakim
and some others have mentioned this moko what is Morocco, Morocco is something that is something that companions has. And that's, that's something that's, that doesn't go directly to the Messenger of Allah said a lot stronger a lot Northwestern stronger opinion is that there are so many Hadith relating to that similar similar meaning that would raise it up to the level that it was that it would be acceptable Sharla so what are some of the benefits that we can extract in the Sierra in the lesson from the seal of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam during this time?
First, is,
of course, one thing that always
one of the things that always
causes us to have anxiety, what is anxiety, anxiety is and him and him and
her mom will have anxiety.
And it hasn't is sadness, that something happened in the past. That is something that maybe in the future, or moon, and this is something that is that might happen or might not happen. And so in order to calf Allah subhanaw taala teach us a lesson teaches us a lesson. In terms of trials and tribulations. You don't know what's going to happen in the future. Nobody knows what's going to happen in the future. Sometimes you're thinking, this is going to happen. This is that's going to happen. You know, Russia attacks Ukraine, America has tried to stop them. And these are like super powers and everybody say tomorrow there's gonna be nuclear war. Nobody really knows that was nobody
really knows what's going to happen. And something had another thing happens and everybody says, that's the end of the world. 2000 happens. That's the end of the world. And so there are so many things that but we have to realize that Allah Subhana Allah is the One who knows the future. And during the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
the, the the record, they came to the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they came to the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And they asked him, questions that they received from the rabbis of Medina. And the messenger of Allah Salah lawless and said, you know, come to me tomorrow, I'll tell you, in hopes that Allah would reveal, as usual, reveal the answer to their questions and what was your questions? Tell us, tell us about the story of those young men. That amazing story about the young man. What's fair, and tell us about the man that traverse the East in the West, meaning he conquered the East and the West. Who was he? And then tell us also about a
rule, the soul, the reality of the soul? And so the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Come to me tomorrow. And I'll tell you, but what did you forget?
Forgot to say.
So Allah subhanho wa taala. Allah subhana wa Tada. Very, very, very difficult lesson by when they came back.
He didn't have an answer. A lot did not reveal anything to him. I did not reveal anything to him.
The next day, nothing
To the point where the machine code I'm making fun of the process and the logic. So what were these questions? What were these questions? These questions were questions that they were testing the profits of a lot. So whether he was a prophet or messenger of God or not, but he's not answering what does that mean? What are they say? Like, No, you're not truthful. Right? So it's very hard, very hard on the, upon the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And so it didn't come a week, nothing yet. And to the point to the point where the Muslim are making fun of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And then finally, Allah subhanho wa Taala reveals and he says well at
the Poulan Nellie che and in the valley Kawada. SHA, Allah, don't ever Well, let me do not, don't ever, this is this emphasis here. Don't ever say you're going to do something tomorrow. Except by the will of Allah mean except that you say insha Allah
will rub the cave and a seat. And remember your Lord when you forget, remember your Lord, when you forget. And so Allah subhanho wa Taala taught the Messenger of Allah. So the lion has many teaches us also lessons. Tomorrow, you never know what's going to happen. And also, what's the other lesson than the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is learning that we also have the lesson and humbleness of humbleness. That it isn't up to you. It isn't up to you, oh Muhammad,
Allah subhanho wa Taala didn't reveal whenever he wants. Like, it's not it's not up to you when we were when, when you are gonna get the revelation? Yes, he's the prophet of God, the Messenger of God, but Allah Subhana Allah is all wise. And Allah has Almighty, Allah Subhana Allah to Allah can do whatever he wants. And Allah subhanaw taala is teaching him a lesson. It's not up to you. You want your revelation to come to you at any time. No, we reveal whenever we want to. And that's why you have to humble yourself. That's why this is a lesson there's a lesson of humbleness and humility, over and over again in this story of sort of the calf. Why? Because, you know, if you want
to be strong, if you want to be a strong Muslim,
you want to be a strong Muslim. You want to be firm in times of trials and tribulations when the difficulties come. You have to be humble and sincere.
If you're not humble and sincere, you're not going to pass the test. You have to be humble, and you have to be sincere.
And how can you increase your humbleness and sincerity by devoting yourself to the worship of Allah and doing so in times of in times of secret and times in which people don't see you? I mentioned before that our faith in our Eman is like a tree.
It's like a tree and the loss of groundwater Isla also gives us the parable of Kalimantan tayyiba button a slew Hassan Faro happy summer. Like this is La ilaha illAllah. The faith and Iman and Lila hula is like a tree SLUSA the or the foundation is firm.
For over the summer, and branches, it branches out into the heavens. So if you want your faith to be firm, you have to have a firm foundation. And you know, when you see a tree, you only see the tree and you don't see the foundation, you don't see the roots. Even when you look at a skyscraper. You see those tall buildings.
If you look at those tall buildings, you only see the top and the wind blows. It doesn't topple. Why doesn't it topple? Because the foundation is deep. You have to understand the amount of digging. Sometimes as tall as it is high, you have to go almost as deep into the ground. And the foundation has to be firm and strong. So it doesn't topple doesn't come over. And that's why before they build the building, you'll see that the ground that they dig the hole is huge and very, very deep.
Very, very deep in order to build those tall towers. And that's the skyscrapers and the trees. You see the trees going all the way around the time, but you don't see the bottom. The bottom is firm, but you don't see it. So how can you strengthen those roots
by doing good deeds, when people are not watching you, when people are not looking at you, when you're alone by yourself, that's how you increase these roots and strengthen your faith. So that you can have a strong foundation and when the winds blow, they will not topple. And so
also in this
lesson paranoid, also speaks about so many things in amongst the things that Allah Subhana Allah speaks about some of the benefits that we can extract from Allah Subhana Allah tells us about
those who take others besides Allah Subhana Allah or who claim that Allah Subhana Allah Allah has a son.
Those who claim that Allah Subhana Allah have have have children and Allah subhanaw taala says,
Well, you will live on Xena Carlota has Allahu Allah and to warn those who say that Allah has taken for himself and offspring
and offspring.
What? What did you What did the Arabs use to say?
What did anybody know what the Arabs used to say when it comes to the children of Allah? Who are the children of Allah? According to the Arabs?
The Arabs during the time of the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
Yes, but not horrible, that
they said the angels the melodica they are the
the daughters of Allah, not only not only sons, they say that Allah subhanaw taala has daughters, and
have you you really reflect upon that? Like, how can you say that Allah subhanaw taala has daughters, when you yourselves, you yourselves like that they themselves.
They
hate daughters.
They don't want daughters. Right? And then this they look down upon people who only have daughters. And then they say that Allah Subhana Allah Allah has daughters. And of course the Jews are the Christian they say that property Silas
is the son of philosopher handler Karna and a lot of Hamlet Allah says Milan V him in
mela homie him and well Ali.
They themselves don't have any knowledge. And they and their forefathers neither neither did therefore the fathers have any knowledge.
Couple of
Kalamata into human FYE him he oppo Luna Illa candybar
tremendous is the word that comes meaning what uh
what is how?
How terrible is that word that comes from there? How false it is. It's not something that's small that to be taken lightly. The words that come out from their mouths efo Luna Electra zebra, they say not except they make up their cup nothing except for lights. And so Allah subhana wa jal reveals this first of all, so you know, during these during these times,
in Mecca, many of the verses to our to confirm or affirm the, the,
the to heed the Oneness of Allah subhanho wa taala, the Oneness of Allah subhanho wa taala. And so, that's another thing that we learn, that we we learn from in terms of trials, trials and tribulations, just like the time of the Prophet, some of
the companions used to love to sit, sit with the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi salam to seek knowledge. And so, knowledge
is
very, very important, but it also requires a tremendous amount of patience.
It requires a tremendous amount of patients. If a person is not patient, then you will not be able to acquire knowledge. And so in Surah, two Catherine This is the story of Prophet Musa and the story 100 teaches us also to, to do what teaches us to
the firm, be patient
and be serious when it comes to seeking knowledge.
And if you do, if you do so in terms of trials and tribulations, you're going to need that knowledge. You're gonna need to be firm and strong, because there's going to be a lot of distractions. Like right now, you might say, this is the time in which there's a lot of knowledge. It's very easily accessible. But there's so much widespread ignorance. How do you know there's so much ignorance? Like sometimes there's some posts and some things that people say on the internet? Some of the basics of Islam, people don't even know anymore.
What I mean by that, like some of the basics of Islam, things like things that everyone before would, would just like, it would be common sense they would know. Like, I'm dressing up as a man or a man dressing up as a woman. Like, everybody knows that that's not something that is praiseworthy. Right, and but nowadays, there are some people who say that that's acceptable to the point where there are massages for gay people only, like in some some parts, some areas and in Toronto, and California, in many areas that are just massage it's like for that for those you know, this is a disobedience of Allah subhanaw taala Yeah, people are proud of it. It's like getting together. Hey,
like everybody come together. You know, this is a masjid where we say it's okay to to drink alcohol. Like all the everyone who's you know who's okay with alcohol can pray together, we pray we get together. But everyone was okay with Xena. You come to this, let's join together and pray together. And for a masjid for all of those who are, you know, like we can have boyfriends or girlfriends. We don't think it's right. Or let's have a masjid where all the sisters come together and they don't have to wear hijab
believe that, like these are things that are sinful, but people are so they're not even saying that it's wrong, and they're proud of it to the point where they are gathering and coming together
to, to say that Islam is a Islamic subset. And that's, that's worse than committing a sin. That the committing a sin is bad enough bad. But it's worse to say that that sin is halal.
To believe the sin is halal is greater in sin than to commit the sin itself to believe it's haram. Why? Because if you believe, for example, that if you believe that hum, alcohol is haram is hella, it's permissible. Like, like, it's really alcohol in general is permissible. And every you know, or you don't have to pray five times a day. These are the basics that everyone every Muslim,
knows that if you if you reject those things, it takes you outside the fold of Islam. Because these are items and
knowledge that's common. That's deemed literal, that it's just common
common knowledge in Islam. So another thing that we learned, of course, in terms of trials and tribulations, what are some things you worry about? Now, like the companions of the Prophet, salallahu, alayhi wasallam, when they are steadfast when their firm, sometimes persecuted, and so what happens what's, what's the what's one thing that can happen to a person
they could be killed, you could be killed, a person can be killed, just like the acid, and so many and they were martyred. And in times of trials and tribulations, times of difficulties, and especially after there's a man at the end of time, there will be the extra field large, a large party that has the killing of each other, will be widespread to the point where the person was killing doesn't even know why he's killing. And the person who has been killed does not know why he was killed. Doesn't even know the reason why there's just so much widespread killing. So in times in which you are seeing so many people being killed, you might be worried about yourself being killed
also. And if you're no longer alive, what do you what are you concerned about? Like, what are some of the things that you're thinking about? If you're no longer there? What are you worried about? Besides yourself?
Or your children, right? Your children who's gonna take care of your children, who's gonna take care of your wives, who doesn't take care of your, you know, your, your, your family? How's the family going to be taken care of, and we learn, what do we learn? We learn that if you are pious and you are righteous in sha Allah
Allah subhanho wa Taala you devote yourself to the worship of Allah and Allah subhanho wa Taala will take care of your children. Allah will provide for your children and Allah subhanho wa Taala will take care of them. And Allah subhanho wa Taala will protect them also. And that's why the best thing you can do for your children is to teach them to keep them firm upon the deen of Allah Subhana Allah Allah and you yourself. Be firm upon the deen of Allah subhana wa Tada
and that's why the people the one Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks
about the reason why you know during the time of during the
during the journey of Prophet Musa alayhis salaam with Allah that
Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us that the reason the reason why Allah Subhana Allah to Allah help the orphans when ALLAH SubhanA wa Damasus
Cafferty en
de la Huma, Huma de la Humann Raghu Rama Jairo Mendoza Koto, UK, Rama, Rama, that Allah subhanho wa taala, of course, protects you when you're when you're pious, Allah subhanaw taala tests you, but he protects you. And at the same time also, sometimes, you know, if you don't, you don't know what's going to happen in the future. Some of the trials and tribulations that befall upon you may think it's bad, but you have to put your trust in Allah subhana wa Tada. And if something bad were to happen to you, let's say you get killed, then know that if you are firm and obedient to Allah, Allah will take care of your children and that's why Allah subhana wa Tada. So, when Majida as for the G
da as for the wall that
have
helped us you know, keep firming, again. Remember, it was far it was about to fall, and he strayed it occasionally will amania teammate this belong to two orphans, in Phil Medina, and then Allah subhana wa says workout in at that level Kensal Lahoma and under it there was treasures. What can abou Huma? Solly Ha, okay, now boohooman their father, their father was very pious. Their father was very pious. So you might say what will happen to the mother Allah knows best. But Allah says that the father was pious, because of the piety of the father, a loss of Hiawatha, Allah protected the children and protected the wealth of the children. And Allah Subhana Allah made sure that when they
grow up, they will still be they will still have,
you know, they will still have the money and treasures and Allah will protect them. So what can abou Houma saw and so that's the lesson also in terms of trials and tribulations. And so when the companions are reading this, they know that you know, when you do something for the sake of Allah, even when somebody is harmed and martyred in the path of Allah, don't worry and don't be,
don't have such great anxiety and concern and worry about your children too much of what's gonna happen to them when you're no longer there. Because you have to put your trust in Allah and how do you put your trust in Allah by doing the best that you can when they're alive by taking care of them, and putting them in, in the best position to be successful and learn. But even if you're gone, if you are obedient to Allah, if you're sorry, if you're pious, Allah subhanaw taala will take care of your children. So in terms of trials and tribulations, those are some things that we may be concerned about and we may be worried about. But in sha Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala is in control
over all things. And so also in, in the story of
little colony, you have a huge, huge, huge in my church. So in terms of trials and tribulations, like during the time of the companions, they have a lot of people, a lot of enemies of Islam. And these enemies of Islam are terrible people
have no mercy, nothing there, they torture they cause problems, destruction, they cause mischief. But know that Allah Subhana Allah, that Allah subhanaw taala is capable
of bringing someone to help and those who do
Those who will establish the rule of Allah subhanaw Tana, and to the point where even the likes of Jews and Jews,
that Allah subhanho wa Taala can send the ruler, no matter how powerful the enemy is, that Allah subhanaw taala can send someone more powerful, that can stop their advancement and stop their harm. So yeah, Judah, my judge, they were killing all they're causing mischief for the people. Allah Subhana Allah Allah sends little colony
that Allah subhanho wa Taala helps
gives him the capacity and the ability to build a wall and the time in which people were using just rocks and stones, that he was able to use iron and steel and molten
iron to to make a wall where they could not break for they could they
they were unable to traverse such a huge wall that they can go over and they can go through. And so know that Allah Subhana Allah is are capable. And also
the
one what's one thing that the most recode Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about the machico and any speaks about their their arrogance, and who are the people who are arrogant
in this era of the Prophet sallallahu so during the time of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam there the Mexicans, the Mexicans were arrogant. And so Allah subhanho wa Taala gives us a parable. What's the parable? They are, it's a parable of the the, the men of the two garden and Allah Subhana Allah says, What would have loved him metallurgy lady Jalna Lee had Hema Jana titanium and Aetna will have us now whom Ebina Vida human Zara. There are some amongst the people of Mecca. The Mexicans were very, very wealthy.
The likes of Lolita, Maria, he had gardens of grape. He had orchard gardens,
that stretch between Mecca and five. And they had summer homes and time because it was cooler. And sometimes the rich people they would go and so they were extremely wealthy. They were people who are extremely wealthy. And they thought that what what did they think
they themselves as Allah subhana TACE has wonderful agenda to our Lolly Molina FC, Allah Ma, who NTV had the aberdare will have on the SAT
where they eroded to Isla Robbie. I didn't hire on minhang Panagia. Allah subhanho wa Taala is giving this parable of the men of the to the men with the two gardens and his companion. Who is reading this who's hearing this, it's the Meccans because Allah Subhana Allah is speaking to the Meccans and those of the people that dunya will come later on, they will have people have the same mindset. What are the mechanisms? What are they think? They the mechanism, they think that they are,
they are in position, they are the best of people? Right? They think they're very arrogant. Like intrinsically they think that you know, we the way in who we are, as the people the Quraysh and people of Mecca, the guardians and custodians of the Kaaba, Allah subhanho wa taala. Like some of them reject, right you know, when Allah Allah and the Prophet some tells them to believe in the day of judgment, and they believe in the hereafter. They reject it. And they say, Well, my husband at the time, and we don't even think that the our will come, well eroded to Isla Robbie. And if I were to be returned to my Lord, that I didn't hire a minimum caliber. So what's the evidence? They say?
If I were to return to my Lord,
I would get something even better. So what are they trying to say? Like the fact that I'm rich right now. The fact that I'm pushy and I'm rich right now, is an indication that Allah loves me.
The judgment is true. That means if what what Allah has given me here right now,
look at the massive amount of wealth that I have
and they have the servants that take, you know, they have servants that serve me. I have people who take you know who, who I order around, I have workers under my authority. If I were to be returned to my Lord after I die, I will get even better than this. Because look what he's given me already.
So this is their evidence. And this is their proof. And what they don't realize is, this is a test for them. And so that's why Allah tells us about the companion of this man, Allah Allahu Sahiba. Who will you hire a widow who follows tabula the Halacha. Kevin to rob, have you rejected? The One who created for you from dust? Remember, humble yourself? Look how arrogant you are. You your origin was from dust, some I mean, not. And then some, something that when you came, you came from a drop of sperm. I mean, a drop of sperm is something that if it gets on, you think it's dirty. And it's like you, you don't want that on you. It's like something that's dirty. And you You came from that the
Messiah Wacka Rajala. And it is he who from the dirt, and from this,
this despised drop.
You were for you came from that you became a man from Mr. Wacka radula. Like look at your origins. In other words, don't be arrogant. And think that you that you have everything just because Allah has given you all of this, that Allah loves you. If you deny and reject Allah, and you deny and reject the Day of Judgment, then Allah subhanho wa Taala can take even in this world
and you can take it away from you. And Allah subhanho wa Taala you have to understand that when Allah subhanaw takes it away from you, no one else can give you anything. At one moment, ALLAH SubhanA wa COVID can take it away from you. And Allah subhanho wa Taala says when he does at the end, you know, when this man loses everything, when he does, he takes everything away from you, who now Likkle Allah to Allah he'll help. That's when you know the true authority is with Allah, Allah,
who are Hirens however, well, how you don't know.
He is the best who can reward and he is the best that you can hope for in terms of outcome. So that's that's hope, what is hope hear this hope is,
you know, when you
you look at the disbelievers extremely wealthy, you look at the rich people around you. And you say, look, how can they have all of this and I don't have anything.
I don't have anything in this world how hard they haven't compared to what they have. Yet they disbelieve in Allah subhana wa Tada. But a believer has faith and he realizes that Allah is the best who can reward
there is no one who can reward better than Allah subhanaw taala who Hirens awaba were hired on October and the end results will be best for you. The end result they may have it right now you may think that they have it right now. But in the end, this they will have nothing to this dunya is not worth anything. This dunya is not worth anything. So Allah Subhan Allah to Allah, why is he instilling this belief in the believers
because if you attach yourself to the dunya, you're gonna fail the test.
You attach yourself to the dunya you're gonna fail the test. If you attach yourself to the hereafter, it will give you strength. Weakness is in attaching yourself to this.
You will be weak and you will fall because one of the biggest tests what is the biggest trial? What's the biggest test that humanity will face?
The job right? And if you read sort of the caf
energy reserves the caffeine memorize the first 10 verses and in sha Allah, you will be protected from the trials and tribulations of the DAP. Why because every single test that the jail will bring
the solution to it isn't sort of the
the solution to end if this the biggest test. You might say well most people around most people since the time the Prophet summarize have never faced the trials and trials and tribulations of that data will never see the
that the gel, and only a few, the only the generation that will live during that time will actually see at the gel, right? Only a few.
But why are we asked to prove as for protect, to add to ask for protection from the danger, even in our prayers, from the time of the Prophet some a lot of some to our time.
Because if you can pass the greatest trial,
if you can pass the greatest prayer,
if you know how to pass the greatest trial, than anything else will be less than, than
anything else will be less than that. So who prepare yourself by learning from the lessons of the sort of recap and so lots of handlers and reviews this at a time in which the companions were facing one of the most difficulty difficult tests. And that's why
if you want to learn the CRO, and benefit from it, learn from what they went through, because whatever they went through will content will again, something similar will happen to us and to the Muslim ummah.
There'll be a stage, but Islam or even way series will say or do or even come up for two, but if
you look at the seer, or the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, you will see, you will see that
whatever happened to the Companions, will also happen to us. And whatever they did to pass those tests, if we follow their example, in sha Allah, we will also pass it and that's why it's very, very important also, when you're learning the CLR the Quran is in more need of the CRO than the CRO actually is in need of the Quran in terms of the how to understand it. Because if you read the Quran, there are many verses that you will not truly understand unless you learn where it was revealed and how it was revealed. And in what circumstances it was revealed so that you can understand the Quran and where do you get that from?
You get that from the CRO of the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam and that's why we're trying to combine them. When when these verses were revealed. It was revealed during this time, why? So that to strengthen the Muslims to teach them lessons, so that when we put when we're putting in that particular situation, that Insha Allah we will also be able to
will also be able to pass the trials and tribulations that ALLAH SubhanA sent. Another thing is Allah subhanho wa Taala
teaches us the way of calling people Tao. Allah Subhana Allah says, Allah Allah who saw people who you have, who comfortably Allah the Halacha come into Rob, from them in North fetishism as a worker, Raja
Messiah worker Raja. So Allah subhanho wa Taala teaches us also a form of Dawa.
How do you make Dawa? When you speak to other people, you have to speak to them. And sometimes, because people have have gone so far away from the deen of Allah, that you have to bring them back to the beginning, and what is the beginning? You have to bring him back to their beginning. And that's why what's the first verses the first five verses reveal the Quran, this may not be calorie holla we signed in the Name of your Lord who
created
followable in Santa May, Allah
created mankind from a
clinging,
a clot that's clinging, you know, like a pain, a morsel that clings. And so something that clings in the womb. And so Allah subhana wa those returning them to what do they believe that they believe in Allah? Most of them believe in Allah, but sometimes you have to return them back. Just like especially now you have so many people who are atheists, they don't believe in Allah subhanaw taala Anna and so you have to sometimes go back all the way to the beginning and start over from where they come from, where they came from, and look at themselves as babies and look at how they are because a lot of times, they're not thinking about some of those things. And so that's why they're,
they're lost. And Allah subhanho wa Taala teaches us one of the best ways of
reminding
people is to remind them of the who created their origin, where they came from, where they came from, from the very beginning. And you might say, Well, no, they don't believe in God. And they're going to say this. But the thing is, you want to plant the seed. You want to plant the seed, and you never, you never know what's going to happen. And later on, like, in fact, you know, there's a, there's a Muslim brother, actually, that I recently, I recently met. And he went to the same high school that I went to, and we were on the same bus. You know, he went, and we were on the same bus. And I never, I really never spoke to, you know, to them about Islam or anything like that. I just,
you know, I was just practicing trying my very best to memorize the Quran, even when we're on the bus on the way to school. And he said, he said to me, said, I used to think like this, look at this guy, who was this guy, this Vietnamese guy, his weird Vietnamese guy. Like, he's always like, mumbling and stuff like that. I never knew why, and never knew what kind of person he really was. And then Allah Subhana Allah later on, actually, he became he became Muslim. Like he became Muslim. And actually, I don't know where he lives in around the area, still other thing a little further south, and actually didn't. I didn't even know when I met him. He actually recognized me first. They
invited him here, but I think he doesn't live too, too. He lives a little bit far from from this area. But I remember, like those people who I used to speak to, I never spoke to them about like, they none of them accepted Islam. They were just teenagers, right? A lot of them, but a group of people on the bus that I was on. They he told me that yeah, a lot of them. They accepted Islam. A lot of them, a whole group of them, actually accepted Islam, but you never know. And they all they did was sometimes when they would ask me what I was doing, then I would tell them what I was doing. And hey, what are you reading? I would tell them and then I would find verses that were like, you
know, even even if I were reading a different verse, how would like how would I use when I'm reading? I would mention other verses about Jesus about you know, Islam about and I was just reading the translation, I didn't know Arabic at all whatsoever. Right? I didn't even know Arabic. And these are just simple verses, verses like this. Like, I remember one of the verses, I just read to them as the verse in Surah Baqarah.
I remember and the only reason why I read I was reading because they used to make fun of me. You know, they use that not really, like make fun of you like they're like, What are you doing, man? This guy? Nobody, like, Oh, that's perfect opportunity. Oh, what am I doing? Let me tell you what I'm doing.
Right? And so I like I'm reading, you know, I'm memorizing the Quran. You don't know what it is. Let me tell you what I'm reading right now. And so everyone goes, Oh, they're like, Oh, you don't want to hear that stuff. And they're like turning on their music and everything you know. And those days, they have the big boombox on the shoulder. No, no, you guys remember that? The old days, the 80s 90s. Right. In the 80s night people were used to it and they used to carry that onto the bus. And I remember when first that I read Yeah, you had an answer. Go to rob the qumola the Halacha
Oh, ye Oh, people are Mudaraba formula, the Halacha home. We're letting them in public. I'm La La Quinta Tahoe. Oh people. worship your Lord who created you and those before you so that you may have Taqwa so that no you because you may have God consciousness. And then this is you might think it's just a regular verse, but these are powerful verses. That the first thing that Allah subhanho wa Taala orders us to do is what
Allah says the first command in in the Quran is what
was the first command? This is the first command in terms of you know, in sort of the Bukhara, right, the first order for humanity, first command for mankind. But the first command from Allah subhanho wa taala. Allah says, Yeah, Johan Nasser, Moodle, Robert Robert Kumala, the Halacha Oh, why should you worship your Lord? ye,
O mankind, worship your Lord. Why? Because He created you.
Because you know people nowadays like
Why Why should I watch him? Why should you worship them? You wouldn't be here if it weren't for him. He created you let the Halacha come here they were his own creator you well as in I mean, publikum and those before you also your forefathers, the ILO content upon so that you may be pious and righteous. He wants you to be pious and righteous and God conscious. He created you. And so the lesson that we learned
I'm also in Surah, through calf and trials are two times the trials and tribulations. What's the best way to teach people when people are speaking about Islam? You want to speak to me what Islam? First asks them to worship Allah Subhana Allah, because that's, that's the core of all the message. But then they might say why? Why should I work with him? Because everybody wants to once their own freedom, right? Because He created you. And that's like, What are you talking about? I came from this evolution.
Right? And then you speak to them, about the Oneness of Allah, and who Allah is. And then Allah who then gives them the Quran,
given the Quran, because the Quran will call to Allah subhana wa to app. And you don't even know which verse, some of the simplest verses, people accept Islam because of because of just a verse that you don't even think about. Everyone who has accepted who has accepted Islam, if you ask them, there's always a profound story. And sometimes it's just one small aspect of Islam. You don't have to go through so many complicated things, that brings that person and then faith and Iman enters your heart, and they become Muslims. And so, but one of the best things you can do is to call people to the worship of Allah and remind them that He created them, He is the One who created it is Allah
Subhana Allah freedom and so in Surah Toka, we learned that because Allah Subhana Allah is teaching the Muslims to to speak to the non Muslims and at the same time giving the non Muslims all of the all of the all the evidence and the proofs, and so forth. And so, sort of, at the end of sort of the calf, what do we learn?
At the end of sort of recap, I remember we said you have to be firm, you have to be strong. Allah Subhana Allah teaches us if you can have this, then you can be firm on your deen and what will we what are we speaking about the beginning we're speaking about sincerity.
And we're speaking about the worship of Allah and doing doing it for the sake of Allah doing X and secret to increase your your Eman. Allah says well in NEMA Anna Bashara Miss Liu from you, hi, Elijah. Say pull a NEMA and Bashar Romero como se O Muhammad, I am but a human just like you. But what makes me different? You have a lie here. But
the only thing is that Allah revealed to me and NEMA Illa who Camila who are that your Lord and NEMA Isla whom Allah who were? Your Lord is one God is One Illa who,
for mankind, your Jew, whoever hopes to meet his Lord, the other Juliet, rugby, familia Milan, Milan Solly Ha, then let him do righteous deeds, while you shake very bad at the rugby had, and let him not associate anything with his Lord and His worship, which means you have to be sincere in your worship. And so this is a very, very powerful verse, that Allah subhanho wa Taala gives to us and teaches us and keeps us firm. That in the end, if you want to be strong, you want to be like, you know follow the examples of the likes of biller. You want to follow those examples of the likes of Habad and all that. And of course, the examples of the likes of Abu Bakr and you want to be in
Jannah in sha Allah with them for Yama, laminins Holly have done do righteous deeds,
do righteous deeds and what are righteous deeds?
That which is correct, and that which is most sincere and do not associate
in your worship with Allah anyone?
Meaning sincere, doing righteous deeds and sincerity in times of trials and tribulations and hardships and difficulties. Learn from the learn from the from the lessons, learn from the lessons of sort of the calf and Allah Subhana Allah to reveal this and a time in which the Muslims were facing the most difficult test.
What is the most difficult test test in their Deen? That if you believe in Allah, if you don't, if you don't leave Islam, if you don't leave Islam, we're going to kill you
If you don't Islam, don't leave Islam, we're going to torture. If you don't leave Islam, we're going to harm your family. If you don't leave Islam, you're not going to have any money. You're gonna be poor. You don't leave Islam, you know, you better take care how are you going to take care of your children? How are you gonna take care of your children?
And so you will be put, there'll be people who will be put in that situation. And when will that happen? It happens in every single, you know, throughout history. But there will come a time in which the pinnacle, the greatest test will come. And that will be that will be that Jah and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, manpower so little calf.
Whoever recites Surah to calf
come up on Zillow to Kenneth level northern Yeoman piano, he will have line on the day with judgment and the loss of Hamlet Allah will give him a light
on the day of judgment and woman Potter Asha is and whoever in another narration Have you
been asked yet? Syria and Asya so to recap and then another narration at the beginning of it, and Psalm 100 How to get the job. Let me
let me Allura that the job will not harm him and woman highfill Asha is always the calf OC meme in fits nutty at the jail, he will be protected from the trials and tribulations of the data. And remember a loss of how I'll give you a light also that means when you're reading and when you're reading when you're reading so to recap, what do you need in order for you to understand it properly?
You need to learn this era of why this is revealed. Look at when was revealed and in what circumstances and so you learn the ASVAB and Masood, you learn the reasons why Allah subhanho wa Taala tell with telling the story of the people that have Alka because Allah Subhana Allah has given them a way out and they're about to go to
to Habesha. And so the lessons in Surah Toluca are extremely profound and extremely beneficial. And that's why it's a surah that we should try our very best to recite every single Joomla every single Joomla and of course, the day of Joomla we know that it's read for us how your Hailu Yeoman Polyak are they Hashem so Yama Joomla, the best day that the sun has ever risen on is the day of Joomla Wi Fi, Julio Adam. Adam was created on Friday Wi Fi, he would he'll join and then it he will enter Jannah Wi Fi regimen, an entity Oh, he was also expelled from it, and well at home.
And the Day of Judgment will not happen except for on Joomla on the day of genre. So the next time on Friday comes I want you to think of how significant it is.
Of how significant we just take it for granted sometimes. But it's very, very it's a very, very significant day.
Extinction a significant day, who made it significant? Who raised the status
and who may who gave us Duma. It is Allah subhana wa Tada so that we can be reminded and strengthen our faith. Juma is a blessing for us. Friday is a blessing for us. And there are rituals that we do, just like on Eid. You know, we say the type of Iraq Hola, hola. Hola. Hola, como, La ilaha illallah wa Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar, Allah Hill has
put on Joomla where you do
hamdulillah Hilarie.
Okay,
where are you? So the cap is what you should be receiving Are you reading that's, that's your recitation for Joomla II. And eat they are and you can start from the night and sha Allah. So don't forget, and then don't forget the lessons and the sealer that are connected to it, that are attached to it every single lesson. It's connected to an incident in this era, to help you understand and to help you also benefit more, and to help you also learn the benefits of it. So you will be more motivated to continue to practice it, to learn it, as soon as the caf is a very, very important surah. And I want to stop here because it's part of the SEO CRO and we wanted to mention it's also
very, very important to you know, to to learn the SEO that the Quran is
and learn it from the CRO the prophets of Allah Khalifa. And sha Allah when we get to a little bit further, you know, when we continue, we start continuing anytime there are significant Of course, all the verses are extremely significant. But anytime there are certain sorrows that will reveal in connection to some of the incidents in surah in the Sierra, we want to connect them so that when we're reading the Quran, it brings us back and connects us with some of the incidents in the sewer, sewer sewer. So when was this revealed before the Hedra to Al Habesha and what was happening in Mecca before the hedgerow that's where all the persecution and the difficulties were so, you know,
we're, it was so difficult that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was what wanted the Muslims to have a place where they can worship Allah freely. He was He was compassionate towards them, he felt he felt for them. And that's why he wants them to have a place where they can worship Allah freely without worrying about their lives, and their family, and the hardships. And so, and sort of recap, there are many lessons that we can extract from from the CFO and learn the CFO of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam. And try to connect them in a loss of Hanworth. And as best we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to give us the best of this world in the Hereafter. And we asked Allah subhanho wa
taala, to prolong our life and his obedience and to protect us and our families. And we ask Allah Subhana Allah, Allah to interest the highest level and Paradise. And we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to show us the truth as it is the truth and help us to hold on to it and apply it and to help show as fast as it is falsehood and keep us away from it. I mean, it'll build and I mean, a solid line and we know Muhammad Ali was like a second question.
The last, yes, there are two wonders, and the thing is, if you look at the first 10 and last 10 If you look at this, the the actual topic is the exact same thing. The first 10 It matches the that the first verse, the first verse, and the last verse, is Alhamdulillah, Hillary and the hill Kitab but well I'm Yet
Allah Subhana Allah to Allah is speaking about the book of Allah Subhana Allah and Allah subhanho wa Taala speaking about faith and Iman, in Allah subhana wa Tada praising Allah subhana wa Tada. And if you look at the last 10 verses, also, they are, they're sort of like, it's like,
it's the second book cover it covers. It's a summary of everything that's going to happen. And then it summarizes it again.
So you'll see so there are narrations first, and there is a second at the last hour the best thing to do is blue book.
I read it every single day.
Yes, the whole school was even better.
But sometimes why firsthand only
because when you see that the journal the profits a little unsaid. We cite the first 10 verses when you see them because you can't know how times right beside the O surah.
So the first 10 is a summary already what's going to be speaking what what the lessons are and if we have time to go through the suoraan Chava then we will see why Chama.
