00:01:38--> 00:01:39

Well

00:01:41--> 00:01:41

we

00:01:44--> 00:01:51

didn't know you had Muslim law who see who might have seen it taboo Allah

00:01:55--> 00:01:59

Allah subhana wa Tada says in the Quran, Kareem kita.

00:02:02--> 00:02:09

Heavy a blessing book We have sent down to reflect on its meanings

00:02:10--> 00:02:11

and in shallow

00:02:13--> 00:02:13

entries.

00:02:15--> 00:02:23

We're going to focus on one of the smallest sorrows in the Quran. But one of the greatest sources in the Quran.

00:02:24--> 00:02:37

A sauna that he might share. Jeffery said about Rahim Allah. If Allah only said this surah down through his Gration is a form of guidance, it will be sufficient for them. And it's sort of

00:02:39--> 00:02:42

what I was looking at inside of your host

00:02:44--> 00:02:53

who saw they had, whether it was all been happy, whatever, so be sovereign, and they sober in your life.

00:02:54--> 00:02:57

We're going to reflect on some of the meanings of this great surah.

00:02:59--> 00:03:05

In the beginning, Allah subhanho wa Taala he swears by an awesome and

00:03:06--> 00:03:12

most practice here that is also here, his time in general, not just the specific time of the

00:03:14--> 00:03:35

time in general. Also, he swears by the hustle and it's his wife, Hannah wants to swear by anything out of his Gration that he pleases Subhanallah without it, but is not allowed. It is haram for the humans to swear by anything other than Allah subhana wa Tada.

00:03:36--> 00:03:43

The Muslim only swears by Allah the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said monka Hannover

00:03:45--> 00:03:52

only assumes that whoever is going to be swearing, then he should only swear by a law or he must be quiet.

00:03:53--> 00:04:31

Unfortunately, today we find the people swearing by all sorts of things will have he swears by my life. I swear my life or like they say now when you watch the western movies, I swear on my mother's grave. I swear my mother's life. All of this is how we're gonna swear by Allah Simpson's and some will say would never be a swear by the prophet and he said, All of this is haram and we're only allowed to swear by law and the prophets of Allah ye he was LM shows us the danger of swearing by other than Allah when he said, Man Hello.

00:04:34--> 00:04:39

Ashok, that whoever swears by the Lord he has given an act of Coover on

00:04:42--> 00:04:43

what

00:04:44--> 00:04:46

Allah subhanaw taala when he swears by the time

00:04:47--> 00:04:51

he reminds us, he says he swore by other times, as well.

00:04:53--> 00:04:58

We'll lay out all of these are times when he swears by it by the time

00:05:00--> 00:05:19

He's making the Muslim reflects on the importance of time in his life. The reality that our life is this time that we're living, this is the only one chance that we have. And that's why it hasn't been positively Rahim Allah, he used to say it now Adam in

00:05:22--> 00:05:23

the head.

00:05:24--> 00:05:37

He said old, very old days. So one of your days is one fairly small some of you has gone. And the problem is oh, he was showing us the reality and the importance of time, that when he said

00:05:42--> 00:05:58

that should be his place of questioning on the day of judgment. And you asked about four days. And the first two things that he mentioned, was his time what he did with it. And secondly, any of these use another form of the time what he did with his youth

00:05:59--> 00:06:00

when I was

00:06:01--> 00:06:03

in Santa Fe hospital.

00:06:04--> 00:06:06

Now I want you to imagine,

00:06:07--> 00:06:16

if you had to travel somewhere, you had to get from point A to point B, there is no alternative route, you have to take this path, you have to take this road.

00:06:17--> 00:06:52

And every time you meet somebody, they say be careful. I said this road is very dangerous. There's thieves everywhere. There are certain things crusade might sink, there are certain places you might fall off the cliff, when you go to this road. However you driving down this road, you're gonna be paying very good attention to everything around you, because you want them to get you but you have to go have no choice, because you don't get caught. Now pay attention to this verse now with the same state of mind. Allah subhanho wa Taala is warning you, Allah is warning you that you will be lost, you will hear love.

00:06:54--> 00:07:13

And when he was in his iron, and this is an ayah, that we can't really translate in English property. And this shows us the importance of knowing the Arabic language as Muslims, there was no way to translate this, I have property inside of your host. Barely. The human is in Los

00:07:14--> 00:07:20

Alamos Iowa, he affirms this meeting with three markets.

00:07:21--> 00:07:28

First of all the swearing in the beginning. And then within that, and then with the lamb in the field, he

00:07:29--> 00:07:45

just put emphasis on this. And also didn't say the scholarship. So you mentioned that the one who doesn't who says that he's, he's the loser, he said, You who string in laws to make a general or the loss, if you don't follow what he's about to say.

00:07:47--> 00:07:59

And the scholarships you mentioned, that is me, it's what they call an Arabic grammar via to make understand that the type of loss, it's like he's drowning, he's sinking in his loss.

00:08:01--> 00:08:07

He says thinking he's lost, so badly lost, he's drowning. So you can feel the real meaning of this Kasara of this course.

00:08:09--> 00:08:11

They're either human beings or in laws.

00:08:13--> 00:08:26

Except, here's the exception, except for the ones who have four characteristics. These are the only ones who are not in laws in the 18th Avenue. First of all, the ones who believe

00:08:28--> 00:08:31

the greatest thing is the mahmudullah.

00:08:32--> 00:08:41

But what's the reality of the Babila? What does it mean? We learned it in the hadith of Gibreel. When he came to the province of barley, he was presented

00:08:42--> 00:08:58

with it as he will go to me he will also he will, he will show that Allah is angels, his books is Prophets the last day and the degree the good and bad, which comes from this gentleman.

00:08:59--> 00:09:13

What is the reality of man? As Scott mentioned, the reality of the man is something that you find in the heart, the believer in the heart, and then the testimony of faith which comes on the tail on the tongue and all the attributes.

00:09:14--> 00:09:38

And then the actions the deeds that you see what you learn that you do you perform as a wholesaler. And as a scholar that is not mentioned. Nobody will be a believer and he doesn't have actions. It's not just to say you believe that actions. That's why all those Brahma, Allah subhanho wa Taala when he praises the pious, when he talks about those who he's pleased with, he mentions Alladhina

00:09:41--> 00:09:44

those who have believed and then the deeds

00:09:45--> 00:09:53

that's why over 56 verses in the Quran Allah subhanaw taala directions. When he goes out those who he will enter into the Paradisus.

00:09:54--> 00:09:59

He mentions not just the fact that they had Imana with him, he mentioned the fact that there is Rob

00:10:00--> 00:10:07

arbitrators agenda was mercy and through their Eman their fate and their good deeds

00:10:11--> 00:10:16

whatever deeds that needs all of that these are pleasing to Allah subhanaw taala

00:10:17--> 00:10:26

so now we'll see what is apparently that was just hitting in our hearts, all of his good deeds are pleasing to Allah. And for Alain de to begin,

00:10:27--> 00:10:45

you must have two conditions that must be met. First of all they're close to Allah subhana wa Tada and secondly, the motor farming of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Allah subhanho wa Taala said in the hadith of Bootsy and so he will say, and I'm not sure

00:10:47--> 00:11:03

when Ali Ramadan Ashrafi Marissa hadn't hadn't lady to worship them, that I am in no need of associates, wherever the inaction or rejoice part is with me I will leave him and his shook

00:11:04--> 00:11:06

the province of the law while he was

00:11:07--> 00:11:11

said about the second condition, Medallia I'm at least

00:11:13--> 00:11:22

and whoever does any deed, which we have not told him to do any hindrance to their religion, as their any D that we have not told him to do

00:11:23--> 00:11:25

is rejected from him.

00:11:26--> 00:11:54

And we say this hadith the importance of following the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the only way for us to be successful in his life to the next is to follow the sunnah of our beloved prophet Allah Azza wa sallam, and as ye Malik, Ramallah, he described the Sunnah of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam as being like the Ark of Noah. Certainly that no, he said, he said, as soon as you said he didn't know. He said, As soon as like the Oracle of NOAA

00:11:56--> 00:12:08

woman Soraka that whoever get on the up success will He say, and whoever does not get on it and he will drowns the rockets along while he was telling him sallam said,

00:12:11--> 00:12:14

Elaine, who happen to hurry her legacy, why not?

00:12:16--> 00:12:28

He said to her, which is pure, that which is clear. He said, nobody goes to the street. He said, It's nice like it's day, and nobody goes astray from it except for the one who has destroyed himself. Now the other problem that is

00:12:30--> 00:12:31

he said

00:12:34--> 00:12:48

to me, he didn't open it up Allah personality is rather behind with you, I left behind who you that which if you hold firm to it, you will never go astray after me. The book of a wall and my sunnah I decided to sell them

00:12:50--> 00:12:54

were Anil Solly had, water was all built.

00:12:56--> 00:13:39

Well, they also will help the ones who call others to the heart. And you notice in the first two, it's all about how to fix fix your situation with ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. And the second two characteristics is between you and the people. If you want to be successful, you want to be in love. He's more characteristic. The third one is calling to the heart. And when you call to the heart, you follow what I'm also has commanded you to do, you follow the Prophet sallallahu it He has commanded you to do. And if we wanted to be successful, as an OMA, as a nation, there is no way except for if we do as a last panel that has commanded us to do and call to the region of truth, and verbally that

00:13:39--> 00:13:39

which is evil.

00:13:42--> 00:13:51

The nurse, you will best of nations that has been sent to the people where they used to do go to hire

00:13:52--> 00:13:56

the nurse, that will be not at all what's that? Remove,

00:13:58--> 00:14:05

that you used to call that which is good. ever be that which is evil and believe in Allah.

00:14:06--> 00:14:16

There is no way for the Muslim society to be successful except for with this, the corn and evil naturalism, the scholar deserves it.

00:14:18--> 00:14:20

Because without any society, we'll go straight.

00:14:23--> 00:14:35

Into the heart means calling others to practice Islam for your Muslim Brothers, inviting them, showing them the right way. And as the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam has given us the glad tidings

00:14:36--> 00:14:44

of that anybody who follows what you advise him to do. It's an accident in his life, that you will get the reward of what he does, and

00:14:46--> 00:14:47

they do as well.

00:14:50--> 00:14:59

Well, they'll also be unhappy what it was all of a sudden, and they advise others to be patient was patience. It's not being yourself

00:15:00--> 00:15:09

Pulling out which is not something it's not good. Something you should refrain from. It's being patient during that time holding yourself back, and a scholar this

00:15:11--> 00:15:18

put the patients into three categories, the categories that into three categories, the first of which is sobriety

00:15:20--> 00:15:23

was overrun. And Marcia Tila was

00:15:25--> 00:15:39

the first guy to avoid being patient when it comes to building obedience to Allah subhanaw taala. Being open, be patient when it comes to be obedient. A patient comes to the five day period prayers we hear a lot, a lot, but

00:15:41--> 00:15:48

it's not always easy to get up. If you're patient and you tell your brothers more brothers will pray in the machines. You find somebody who

00:15:49--> 00:15:59

has opened up the door and is the gods it's not like a lot of us a few dollars, a few million, so she can't comes to him. Stock if it's

00:16:00--> 00:16:15

just to keep it when you don't give anybody you can disable the tequila law, give you the gods. These names are not easy. That's why Allah subhanaw taala is already 45 when he described the slides, he said waiting

00:16:17--> 00:16:48

for sharing is a very it's something that's heavy except for those who have the push for those who have had the fear of Allah subhanaw taala it's not an easy thing. And is there any kind of word the some of the patients and Marcia Tila and that was this disobedience to Allah subhanho wa Taala if somebody that was dealing now which is haram he's making his money on that which is haram he's getting with riba selling things that haram cheating people and there's so many ways nowadays we live it to make money off that which is haram

00:16:49--> 00:17:04

and he's making money said tequila. How can you feed your children is haram How can you feed yourself this Hara? How can you do something which is pleasing to Allah subhanho wa Taala it buys them three patient leave it alone will give you blessing which is halal, you

00:17:08--> 00:17:14

though your gazes Allah subhanaw taala has commanded you to do, it also will help but also on the server.

00:17:15--> 00:17:30

Thereby thing whatever happens in southern and the third category is being patient on that which is the father of Allah subhanaw taala that was his decree of Allah subhanaw taala the good and evil from it.

00:17:32--> 00:17:33

If you become ill,

00:17:34--> 00:17:59

one of your family members becomes ill you lose your money, you lose your job, one of your loved ones dies, you have to be patient. And that's what the Prophet SAW Allah while he was setting quotas himself when he was saying to him, this is insane. Why the Muslim? What are the Sahaba GameZone that your daughter is sending for you saying that her child is having his last breath from the good and he's dying right now. And she wants you to come.

00:18:00--> 00:18:12

So the problem is, he was ill and he's the grandfather, so that he was in pain. But he stood there and he knew he had that patients during this this this this this event he said

00:18:14--> 00:18:15

in any law he

00:18:17--> 00:18:21

will collusion in Virginia Musa more

00:18:22--> 00:18:22

altos

00:18:24--> 00:18:37

The product is ready to allow everything that he has he has taken and everything is given and everything is screwed up screwed a lot of time in his in his dunya so on Earth to be patient and to seek the rewards

00:18:38--> 00:19:03

since Hausser asked me to tell his brothers and sisters at the time of need to be patient whether it's being obedient to Allah and say we've noted this opinion to Allah or from the evil of x or evil comment these are habits during his life but of Allah when you're looking for annual sooner whatever annual year will be my female I mean it will pick them up only Hello stuff from now on you will account for stuff you know in the Hall of overhead.

00:19:22--> 00:19:24

Bismillah Allahu wa salam and

00:19:28--> 00:19:30

but your brothers and sisters in Islam.

00:19:33--> 00:19:38

If the Muslim sits back and reflects on Surah terasa. He says the reality of the meaning

00:19:40--> 00:19:59

of this treatment of Imam Shafi Rahim Allah, if Allah only sent down to his creation, the Surah it will be sufficient for them mean as a form of guidance, because it has what you need for the guidance of yourself which comes in even when I'm in a slump, and the man in the good deeds and which is the guidance with others.

00:20:00--> 00:20:05

which is given the power to them, calling them to the house and having patients.

00:20:07--> 00:20:15

We need to realize that we're on the doors. We just started our summer break for our children, a lot of us for ourselves.

00:20:16--> 00:20:24

This is a reminder to us of the blessing of free time. The province of a low body He was said to him, he described two things as near

00:20:25--> 00:20:27

as Two Blessings. He says see how it

00:20:29--> 00:21:09

meaning the good health and the free time is a great opportunity for us to be able to benefits for our children to be able to benefits and we do reflect on the Quran and the Quran is coming around the corner as well. We need to reflect on the Quran and the meanings of the Quran. Look at those who come on the Day of Judgment when they wasted their time in this dunya and they want to come back to Allah subhana wa Tada. They will be the ones who are from the losers. Why? Because they didn't take the advice of Allah subhanho wa Taala even from those who were born Muslims, who didn't follow the advice, they could be punished in the Hellfire as well for not following the advice of ALLAH SubhanA

00:21:09--> 00:21:59

wa Tada and one of the smallest laws, three small verses, Allah showed you the path to success in life. And he warned you about how to lose weight in his life. And the hereafter here it is, isn't that you want to lose? Be careful, because I warned you. I warned you very heavily. I swore. I said inner as LLP goes red spirit clear. So this is probably just one new hire to show you be careful. You're going to know to be honest, he said, and also has warned us we have to reflect on our lives. When we look at our mind how is the state of our Eman? How's the state of our society, our good deeds? How are we calling others to help after we call ourselves? How will you be patient when it

00:21:59--> 00:22:06

comes to stay away from that which is displeasing to Allah? When it comes to doing that what Allah has commanded us

00:22:07--> 00:22:32

when it comes to the difficult calamities that we face in life, how are we in handling this? These are questions we need to go home today and we need to reflect on these ask ourselves and we need to realize that it's not the man who was standing on the member today telling you it's Allah subhanaw taala Who told you that if you do not follow this path barely you will be in Las Vegas you will lose the game of life you're not gonna win.

00:22:35--> 00:22:40

Rahim Allah and Allah Allah Komiyama but maybe even

00:22:41--> 00:22:41
