Abdullah Oduro – The Quranic Call Juz 26 – How often do we ponder over the Quran?

			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah Hill but the cats who made the Peace and blessings of alabi upon you
all we have reached the 26th part June 26, Chapter 47 verse 24, where Allah subhanho wa Taala is
speaking about the people that in Islam are known as the hypocrites and hypocrites are people not
just people that don't do what they say that they do or that they will do? Rather it is those that
have the statements of belief within their tongues. In they may do the actions of the believers but
in their hearts is disbelief in their hearts is disbelief and dare even say hatred and enmity for
Islam and Muslims. Now, there are many reasons why the people during the time of the Prophet
		

			sallallahu Sallam became hypocrites. Some of them wanted to overpower Islam, some of them were weak
and wanted to be with who they felt was stronger and didn't want to find any opposition from their
people.
		

			But when a law speaks about this group of people, he gives him many characteristics and we find them
in the province. A lot of us have them sooner as well. For example, the province of the law that was
sending him, he says in a hadith that's motiva con la he says, I met all the signs of a hypocrite or
three, either had the candidate
		

			what either what are the left with a two minute on the promise or something he said that the signs
of a monastic are three, they're three signs that if an individual was to do this, then this could
be the characteristics of the hypocrite. He said, If he was to speak, when he speaks, whenever he
speaks, he lies
		

			or whenever he gives a promise, he breaks it. Or whenever he's trusted with something, he is not
trustworthy. he deceives that trust. That's the signs of a hypocrite and these were the hypocrites
did during the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		

			Last month Allah mentions
		

			they within the prayer call muku Salah you're on the NASS with a akuna La Ilaha Lila, were either no
deal if they were to be called to the prayer all muku Salah they stand laziale
		

			you're on a nice just to be seen my men, and they do not remember a lot except a little bit. So
these are signs of the monastics. So what is another sign that Allah subhanaw taala says about them
in the chapter of Muhammad? It's a rhetorical question for all of us to think about. Last month,
Allah when he mentioned the monastic gain, and he talks about them, he asks a basic question and
it's important for us when looking at rhetorical questions that we understand that the question is a
question that we know the ultimate answer. We know what the answer is. So when a lot of kind of
would die like gives the question it's for us to ask Are we have those people are we have that
		

			characteristic? Do we fall into that characteristic of people? So when Allah subhana wa tada says,
if there are the lamina shaytaan rejean of Allah get the berguna Khurana Allahu Lubin up or Fado.
How do they not contemplate over the Quran? Or is there coverings on their heart?
		

			on their heart? And this is important because when we read the Quran, are there things that push us
to turn it away? listening to it, reading it, pondering over it? Are there things that push us away
from the remembrance of the Quran? And pondering over the Quran? You know, I'm not claiming he talks
about his rando Koran of leaving the Quran. When the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was talking
about his people, it took a little called Anima. Julian, they took it as an object of avoidance. So
when we as Muslims, we have to ask ourselves, how many times have we open the Quran to read it for
guidance, those of you that have converted to Islam, and you read the Quran, and it was a means for
		

			your conversion or reversion. That's what Allah Subhana Allah wants that feeling that you had, when
you were reading the Quran, and you said, You know what, this is the message, this has to be the
truth. You're thinking of something in your life, when you're reading about the chapter of use of
the chapter of Joseph and his brothers were jealous about people being jealous with you. And you ask
Allah to protect your heart. You think about the story of Moses and how he was scared when he went
against the tyrant, and how Moses needed help when doing the right thing. And how Moses Subhanallah
was someone that was devoted to Allah and you think about your life in those instances. That's the
		

			pondering over the Quran. But if some someone doesn't believe in Allah, or they have some ulterior
motive, that is the characteristic of the one that is termed as the monastic of the one that is a
hypocrite, may Allah protect us and make not make make us not make us from them. So take it upon
ourselves, let's take it upon ourselves, to pick up the Quran to read the book of Allah subhanho wa
Taala and allow what we read, to contextualize it within our lives, and conclude that by doing an
action at least of making dua to protect
		

			This or to keep us in actions of higher and increases in good. But most importantly in the best of
that is to act out that to exemplify that. May Allah Subhana Allah make us of those that ponder over
the Quran may protect us from being any of those from having any of those characteristics of
hypocrisy within our tongues, within our actions, and most importantly, within our hearts. Samadhi
