Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera
AI: Summary ©
The use of the title "how" in Islam is a series of actions and lessons that are not just a message. The title " handy" refers to actions and lessons that occur in a hurry. The use of the word " handy" in Arabic language is used to signal fear of future harm and the potential for emotional state. It is important to read the Quran and not let fear control one's behavior.

for more either you walk you walk or visit any

00:02:21 --> 00:02:21

sort of Allah

00:02:23 --> 00:02:27

Shala these verses they relate very specifically to where we are

00:02:27 --> 00:02:27

right now.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:34

Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions mountains in the Quran over 20

00:02:34 --> 00:02:38

times. And Allah subhanaw taala strikes a parable of the mountains

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

in numerous places. In fact, most of it is to do with the day of

00:02:41 --> 00:02:45

judgment. The reason is okay in some places Allah subhanaw taala

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

speaks on an on a

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

when you speaking about more of a

00:02:51 --> 00:02:55

perspective that mountains are there to stabilize the ground.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

Allah subhanaw taala speaks about that, that we put the mountains

00:02:58 --> 00:03:03

there as pegs to stabilize the earth. And that's that's to do

00:03:03 --> 00:03:08

with the way the plates balance and so on. But the most important

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

thing is Allah subhanaw taala respects many example he says that

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13

the mountains will eventually be like cotton wool, they'll be

00:03:13 --> 00:03:16

flying around like cotton wool. But these these verses

00:03:16 --> 00:03:21

specifically that were recited from surah Taha, it says, Where's

00:03:21 --> 00:03:25

Aluna? Canyon GBL. They asked you about the mountains. Because the

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28

fall of Morocco in the post that allows us to talk about the Day of

00:03:28 --> 00:03:32

Judgment, they used to say, we will go and seek refuge behind the

00:03:32 --> 00:03:36

mountain, because the mountain was the most mightiest thing that they

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

could see. So they said, well, we'll just can't take refuge

00:03:39 --> 00:03:43

there. So Allah subhanaw taala here says, they ask about the

00:03:43 --> 00:03:46

mountains, meaning they speak about the mountains that is mighty

00:03:46 --> 00:03:50

thing, right, that nothing can penetrate these mountains. I mean,

00:03:50 --> 00:03:54

I mean, sheer just rock and, you know, subhanAllah I mean, look how

00:03:54 --> 00:03:57

tough it was for us to climb up here. Three hours.

00:03:58 --> 00:04:02

And many people probably didn't even make it. So Allah says, arena

00:04:02 --> 00:04:07

Gandhiji but I can teach you how to be NASA. Your Lord just say, Oh

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam, your Lord will just

00:04:10 --> 00:04:14

break them down to pieces. You know, we'll just totally

00:04:14 --> 00:04:18

obliterate and obliterate them. For the federal half court and

00:04:18 --> 00:04:24

soft suffer he will leave the land fortunately flat. absolutely flat

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

and plain. That's how the earth will be left. So you see these

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29

mountains around us right now. Like all these ups and downs, so

00:04:29 --> 00:04:33

have a lot of Cutlass valleys and things like that. It'll just be

00:04:33 --> 00:04:37

totally flat. Then Allah subhanaw taala says, laughter Rafi Ha he

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

was in one of them. Not far off.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

You will not see any crookedness in here. Now that Mufasa in here

00:04:44 --> 00:04:48

they say that two words are used here. Imagine and undone. As a

00:04:48 --> 00:04:51

means when you see by the naked eye you won't be able to see any

00:04:51 --> 00:04:55

flatness. And if you were to take instruments that measure the

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

measure the ups and downs of the earth, and you were to look at it

00:04:59 --> 00:04:59

from an

00:05:00 --> 00:05:02

engineering perspective, you'd still not see any difference,

00:05:03 --> 00:05:07

meaning he just made so flat, that you will absolutely not see any,

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11

any kind of upward down. That's how the earth will be made on the

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

Day of Judgment. So there will be nothing left like that it was just

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

important the flood.

00:05:16 --> 00:05:19

You will make a vignette of your own at bury Allah, Allah Now Allah

00:05:19 --> 00:05:23

subhanaw taala moves to what's most important on the Day of

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

Judgment when there will be resurrection when people will come

00:05:25 --> 00:05:29

out of their graves. They will follow the color. The color is

00:05:29 --> 00:05:32

from Allah subhanho wa Taala come to your Lord to the gathering

00:05:32 --> 00:05:36

place, they will follow the color you will make up your own image

00:05:36 --> 00:05:40

Allah, there will be no mistaking in in his call, you will follow

00:05:40 --> 00:05:45

him you have no choice but to follow him. You may think he was

00:05:45 --> 00:05:49

in a rush I tell us where to live Rukmani follow the snow in the

00:05:49 --> 00:05:54

Hamsa and that today when all the sounds will totally be seconded

00:05:54 --> 00:05:58

silent. For the sake of the Walkman for the Most Merciful One,

00:05:58 --> 00:06:02

there will be nobody that can speak and argue, argue their case

00:06:02 --> 00:06:06

or whatever the case is. Subhan Allah Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:06:06 --> 00:06:09

draws their attention away from their asking God these big

00:06:09 --> 00:06:12

mountains to say look, you will be totally obliterated. But you need

00:06:12 --> 00:06:17

to think more importantly about the hereafter when you're going to

00:06:17 --> 00:06:18

be resurrected, and you're going to be

00:06:20 --> 00:06:25

following the da e which means the quarter, to the maidin to the

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28

place where you're going to be gathering and everything will just

00:06:28 --> 00:06:32

be succumbed and silence and in absolute awe of Iraq man, I mean

00:06:32 --> 00:06:35

Subhanallah just just look around us just just look at those clouds.

00:06:36 --> 00:06:39

Right. And Allah subhanho wa Taala squadra I mean, that's why it's

00:06:40 --> 00:06:44

really only appreciate we can more appreciate this rather than living

00:06:44 --> 00:06:47

in our cities. This is where you can really this is reflection. I

00:06:47 --> 00:06:51

mean, if we just came up here, took a few photos, right and went

00:06:51 --> 00:06:55

back down. There is not enough that you do this is the time that

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

we need to reflect because we're not going to come down here all

00:06:57 --> 00:06:57

the time.

00:06:59 --> 00:07:03

Well as a small window Hunter Yoga is a lesson for shefa Ilam and

00:07:03 --> 00:07:06

Athena level Walkman what are the Allahu Allah? Now

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

Maka call is a piece of context, as many places are, you know, you

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

can get through even if you're a bad guy you can still get through

00:07:13 --> 00:07:16

if you have context. Of course you can't call up this, you know, this

00:07:16 --> 00:07:19

hill walking even if you have context. But the main thing there

00:07:19 --> 00:07:25

is that Allah subhanaw taala season that that no intercessor

00:07:25 --> 00:07:30

will be able to benefit anybody, no intercede, no contact will be

00:07:30 --> 00:07:33

able to benefit anybody unless Allah subhanaw taala gives

00:07:33 --> 00:07:36

permission, which gives us an indication that Allah will permit

00:07:36 --> 00:07:40

some people in them and even Allahu Rahman except the one whom

00:07:40 --> 00:07:44

this the Most Merciful Lord will give permission to which the whole

00:07:44 --> 00:07:47

future we don't have time to go into too much because you know, we

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49

have to get bogged down. But the main thing you have to realize

00:07:49 --> 00:07:52

here is that Allah subhanaw taala chooses the right words as well.

00:07:52 --> 00:07:56

He says ylonen Avena Allahu rochman, except the one whom the

00:07:56 --> 00:07:59

Most Merciful Lord will give permission to. So first it's kind

00:07:59 --> 00:08:03

of creating a dread of this day, but then by using the word or

00:08:03 --> 00:08:07

Walkman that AR Rahman will give intercession to certain people, it

00:08:07 --> 00:08:10

gives hope. And that's the whole if you look at the Quran here to

00:08:10 --> 00:08:14

find the over any set of verses that's what you'll notice. It

00:08:14 --> 00:08:18

gives dissuasion from hellfire, it tries to warn you, it tries to

00:08:18 --> 00:08:21

frighten you, but at the same time, it gives you hope. Because

00:08:21 --> 00:08:25

the purpose of the Quran is not just to fight is not to condemn

00:08:25 --> 00:08:29

you, is not to make you feel hopeless and despondent and feel

00:08:29 --> 00:08:32

that there is its own loss, that it's to give you that so that it

00:08:32 --> 00:08:35

tugs at your heart because that's what the Quran does. It talks

00:08:35 --> 00:08:37

about the cause of your heart. But then it says that there's a

00:08:37 --> 00:08:41

merciful Lord. There's a merciful Lord, He will give the power of

00:08:41 --> 00:08:44

intercession to certain people in love and have enough men one or

00:08:44 --> 00:08:50

the other who cola and you'll be happy with his speech. Yeah. Ed

00:08:50 --> 00:08:54

Mama said Allah subhanaw taala says Allah knows what is before

00:08:54 --> 00:08:58

you and what is behind you. He knows your states. So now he's

00:08:58 --> 00:09:01

pulling up the he's going to write to the bottom of the person

00:09:01 --> 00:09:04

themselves. I looked at my nose you but he knows everything that

00:09:04 --> 00:09:07

we have done. Subhanallah he knows everything that we have done.

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

Right? So yeah, I know my been at him on a wholesale one. Are you

00:09:11 --> 00:09:16

happy to be here in Napa? Nobody. This is just to dispel the idea

00:09:16 --> 00:09:19

that if you think you know you're not known, nobody can encompass

00:09:19 --> 00:09:22

him in knowledge. Yet he knows everything that is before you and

00:09:22 --> 00:09:25

that is up to you. But you don't know anything about Allah subhanaw

00:09:25 --> 00:09:29

taala except as much as Allah has given us and has told us about we

00:09:29 --> 00:09:32

learn about Allah subhanaw taala we learn about his might and His

00:09:32 --> 00:09:37

power and he's awesome. Just kahar nature. Look at these mountains

00:09:37 --> 00:09:40

Subhanallah and then the beauty that surrounds it then you learn

00:09:40 --> 00:09:45

about his Jamal, right? You learn about his various different names

00:09:45 --> 00:09:49

like that length and then Allah subhana wa Tada says, why

00:09:51 --> 00:09:52

the next verses?

00:09:54 --> 00:09:57

What are you hating gonna be here in MMA? Why nothing we do hula in

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

high yield or you look at Harbin, Hammond or Wilma.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

all the faces are not beautiful Allah subhanaw taala uses the red

00:10:04 --> 00:10:11

faces to express the whole body. Because our faces generally

00:10:12 --> 00:10:15

express what we're feeling. Like if you're tired, you can see it. I

00:10:15 --> 00:10:18

mean, I probably look tired right now, right? So because my whole

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

body is tired because we just kind of have this mountain, right?

00:10:20 --> 00:10:23

That's just like with everybody. So you know, you're not nobody

00:10:23 --> 00:10:27

looks fresh here. So what anything we do will yield to you, the faces

00:10:27 --> 00:10:31

will just totally succumb why the thing we do is in high yield, the

00:10:31 --> 00:10:35

yield to the most living one, and to the sort of self subsistent

00:10:35 --> 00:10:39

one. So now the choice of these two names of Allah subhanaw taala

00:10:39 --> 00:10:43

is that he is the EverLiving one and he's a self subsistent one he

00:10:43 --> 00:10:46

doesn't need anything else, and everybody will succumb to all

00:10:46 --> 00:10:50

phases will succumb to him. Yeah. And everybody will come to him.

00:10:50 --> 00:10:54

And we totally subjugated this there's just no choice choice in

00:10:54 --> 00:10:54

the matter.

00:10:55 --> 00:11:01

Woke up harbor man hemella. Again, dissuasion that He, Allah subhanaw

00:11:01 --> 00:11:05

taala says the one who did any oppression in this world, the one

00:11:05 --> 00:11:08

who did any oppression in this world will be at loss will be the

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

losers Walker Hall, but they will be failures, those who did

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

oppression, what does oppression mean? We took something from

00:11:14 --> 00:11:19

someone, we swapped someone, we made a bad name for someone, we

00:11:19 --> 00:11:22

spread rumors about somebody, we didn't give back the rights of

00:11:22 --> 00:11:26

someone. Right? All of these things, you know, we just took a

00:11:26 --> 00:11:29

position that somebody else was supposed to get a can translate

00:11:29 --> 00:11:33

into many different things. Look at Harbor Mohamed Azuma wanna

00:11:33 --> 00:11:36

Yamuna Solly Hardy will who will not be known familia half of whom

00:11:36 --> 00:11:41

Allah habla. However, whoever Yama minify the healthy whoever deeds

00:11:41 --> 00:11:46

will who will not mean while he is whoever does good deeds while he's

00:11:46 --> 00:11:49

a believer, right we believe it whoever does good does what is the

00:11:49 --> 00:11:53

believer is on solid you mean follow your half of vindman Allah

00:11:53 --> 00:11:56

habla he doesn't have to be frightened of any oppression from

00:11:56 --> 00:11:59

Allah subhanaw taala you will get everything you did in this world

00:11:59 --> 00:12:04

for Allah is not an oppressor. He is absolutely just he will never

00:12:04 --> 00:12:08

let you down. Right so follow your Hafele that person should never

00:12:08 --> 00:12:13

have any fear of will from Allah subhanho wa Taala what Cavalli got

00:12:13 --> 00:12:17

unzila now Allah subhanho wa Taala gives one of the purposes one of

00:12:17 --> 00:12:20

the reasons for revealing the Quran. And this is where most of

00:12:20 --> 00:12:23

us we don't understand Arabic lose out. Allah subhanho wa Taala says

00:12:23 --> 00:12:27

what Karateka Anza? No, this is how we have reviewed the Quran,

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31

Quran and our V and this is how we have revealed the Quran in the

00:12:31 --> 00:12:36

most beautiful Arabic language. Right? Why was sort of Nafi human

00:12:36 --> 00:12:40

and why Eades Serafina the three means we have bought over and over

00:12:40 --> 00:12:44

again. The word heed the warning. We mentioned a warning here you

00:12:44 --> 00:12:47

mentioned warning after a few verses maybe another Surah we

00:12:47 --> 00:12:50

continue to mention the warnings over and over again in different

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

ways. Serafina fie hymnal, right? Because a lot of people they ask

00:12:54 --> 00:12:56

Why does Allah subhanaw taala mentioned similar things over and

00:12:56 --> 00:12:59

over again. But if you look carefully, he never mentioned the

00:12:59 --> 00:13:03

absolute same thing again. It's always willing to it's always the

00:13:03 --> 00:13:06

difference that Allah tells us the reason and if you've ever thought

00:13:06 --> 00:13:08

about this, Allah tells us the reason he'll

00:13:10 --> 00:13:13

look at adding a Sabbath Nafi even widening the unknown yet

00:13:14 --> 00:13:19

of your default level Vikram so that they can become pious, they

00:13:19 --> 00:13:24

can go wrong, and it will create a remembrance. Let me explain this.

00:13:24 --> 00:13:28

What that means is you have you read the Quran, once you have a

00:13:28 --> 00:13:32

particular sort of you mentioned some warning and it didn't hit

00:13:32 --> 00:13:36

you. You weren't in a state to receive the admonition from it.

00:13:36 --> 00:13:39

You read it again, you on stage still in that state. You read it

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41

the third time you read it the second year you read it off when

00:13:41 --> 00:13:46

you were 14 years old. One day it's gonna penetrate. That's the

00:13:46 --> 00:13:48

point of reading the Quran over and over again, although you're

00:13:48 --> 00:13:51

reading the same thing over and over again. But it will eventually

00:13:51 --> 00:13:54

start to penetrate the more you read it. That's what Allah says, I

00:13:54 --> 00:13:59

keep Allah says we bring these examples, these warnings over and

00:13:59 --> 00:14:03

over again so that eventually you will gain some taqwa, you will

00:14:03 --> 00:14:06

gain some fear of Allah, and it will create a remembrance for you

00:14:06 --> 00:14:09

finally will create some remembrance for you. Right? That's

00:14:09 --> 00:14:12

what it is. Sometimes you're in an emotional state, you've just had,

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

you know, you just had a setback or something. You read the Quran,

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

that's gonna hit you now. Right? Something's going to hit you. So

00:14:18 --> 00:14:21

keep reading the Quran. That's why Allah subhanaw taala gives the

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23

wisdom behind why so many things I mentioned over and over again.

00:14:24 --> 00:14:28

Further ALLAH, ALLAH who will medical Hawk, this is just you

00:14:28 --> 00:14:31

know, we just don't have time. And if you those who understand the

00:14:31 --> 00:14:34

Arabic language, you will appreciate these verses if you

00:14:34 --> 00:14:37

just ponder over them. Then Allah subhanaw taala finally says,

00:14:37 --> 00:14:39

Fattah il Allah Who medical

00:14:40 --> 00:14:45

transcendent, high above is Allah and Medic and

00:14:46 --> 00:14:50

the sovereign, the true sovereign. So he's telling the people of

00:14:50 --> 00:14:54

Makkah, he's telling everybody after all of this, that's Allah.

00:14:55 --> 00:14:59

Allah is the highest and medical Hawk Fattah Al Allahu medical

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

hawk. What's after

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

it

00:15:01 --> 00:15:06

well, our agent will call him in cobbling. Jacoba Iluka. He'll walk

00:15:06 --> 00:15:10

around visit me Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala Sammy turns to

00:15:10 --> 00:15:13

his messenger, because of obvious Allah Allahu alayhi wa sallam used

00:15:13 --> 00:15:16

to when the Quran was being revealed, used to quickly start

00:15:16 --> 00:15:18

repeating the words from Gibreel Ali salaam to memorize it, you

00:15:18 --> 00:15:21

don't want to forget it. So Allah subhanaw says, will attach a new

00:15:21 --> 00:15:26

quote and don't repeat it quickly and fast in haste, right? Before

00:15:26 --> 00:15:28

the war he finishes

00:15:30 --> 00:15:35

and say your OB visit me and give me more knowledge. So that is to

00:15:35 --> 00:15:38

tell his messenger that it's okay. And he mentioned that again. So to

00:15:38 --> 00:15:40

me, there's a connection between these two. So to clear Mahieu,

00:15:40 --> 00:15:43

Allah subhanaw taala. Again, just suddenly, in the middle, he

00:15:43 --> 00:15:46

mentioned that a lot of oriented is they've actually questioned

00:15:46 --> 00:15:48

this, that Allah subhanaw taala was talking about the Day of

00:15:48 --> 00:15:51

Judgment, just like here, just like that. And then suddenly he

00:15:51 --> 00:15:55

talks to his messenger, it's just a shift, a different topic. So

00:15:55 --> 00:15:58

they want to use that to criticize the Quran, they don't realize that

00:15:58 --> 00:16:01

Allah subhanaw taala is seeing his messenger SallAllahu Addyson while

00:16:01 --> 00:16:04

the revelation is coming down, that he's quickly moving his

00:16:04 --> 00:16:08

tongue, so he just kind of focuses on that and says, Don't do that,

00:16:08 --> 00:16:13

we will give it you know, like 200 milliseconds Jollibee in Alina,

00:16:13 --> 00:16:18

Gemma who are Khurana, it's our responsibility to preserve it in

00:16:18 --> 00:16:20

your heart for you. Right? So

00:16:22 --> 00:16:25

if you look at these entire verses, the main the main thing of

00:16:25 --> 00:16:28

it is that whenever you see anything of the world, yes, we can

00:16:28 --> 00:16:32

look at it from an archaeological perspective, you know, from a

00:16:32 --> 00:16:35

worldly perspective as to what its function is. But then Allah

00:16:35 --> 00:16:39

subhanaw taala immediately shifts our attention from that to the

00:16:39 --> 00:16:41

hereafter, because that's how a real life and that's eventually

00:16:41 --> 00:16:44

what's going to happen to us. Right? And this mountain

00:16:44 --> 00:16:49

Subhanallah it will be no longer right? And hamdulillah Insha Allah

00:16:49 --> 00:16:53

we we go back down now. Allah subhanaw taala excepto coming up

00:16:53 --> 00:16:58

and all of your donations, all of our donations and make it easy

00:16:58 --> 00:17:00

inshallah to go down. hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
