Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
Salatu was Salam ala say you didn't move serene. While he was
happy here Ebola cosa limita Sleeman cathedral today only been
a mother
where inshallah we have a few poems left to complete
the casita Buddha.
So, he says here point number 148 hasher who you have reverb Raji
uma Karima who Oh Yun Jie Zhao roomin who are you? No more
autonomy.
Woman dualism to have curry muda you have who wanted to who the
philosophy or your higher Rommel doesn't mean?
What are your foods I mean Halina yet and Teddy, but in the higher
tomb beetle as Hara Phil Akemi.
So he, he says, and this is some of the things that we were
covering, after discussing the praises of Rasulullah sallallahu,
alayhi wasallam and the excellences.
The end section was all about how
he, the author, Alana will see it, he wanted to
gain some kind of intercession with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
salam. So it's all about the reason why he's writing this poem,
for the reason why he wrote the book.
So he's used a number of different excuses. He is putting all of
these excuses
in front,
so that one of them hopefully will work. So he says, ever since I
devoted my thoughts to praising him, I have found him to be the
best assort assurance of my salvation,
when when to allow them to have curry muda Yahoo. Wajid to Hooli
HaNasi higher Rommel tells me that since I've been devoting my
thoughts to praising him writing this poem, I don't think it's
known how long he wrote it took him to write the poem. But no
doubt, there's been a lot of effort that's placed in this poem.
He says, ever, ever since I devoted my thoughts to praising
him, I have found him to best to be the best assurance of my
salvation.
And,
again, what you have to understand that this is a poem.
And in poem, you use, you go beyond the literal meaning of, of
what you're saying. There could be many, many meanings. So Now
somebody might think, what is he saying here? I found him to be the
best assurance of my salvation. Does that mean he's guaranteed
salvation?
Aside from the prophets, nobody is guaranteed salvation as such,
everybody is in the hope for salvation. But there is the
possibility that a person is punished as well. So what is he
saying? So that's why there's people who have misunderstood many
poems in here. They haven't they literalist. So they, they're not
able to read between the words they want to take the most
negative meaning and condemn the poem. So this is how this kind of
problematic understanding could come by, by which you would then
condemn
the writer. That's why one has to be careful. So he's saying that
ever since I've placed my thoughts, and I dedicated my
thoughts to praising him,
no doubt when you praise somebody who is going to praise Him by
studying more about him by thinking more about him. He
realizes that salvation is to do with the hereafter. Salvation has
got nothing to do in the world. I mean, it has a bearing on this
world, but it's really what matters is what happens in the
Hereafter. And when you read more and more Hadith, from Rasulullah,
salallahu Alaihe Salam, you will realize that one of the biggest
functions that Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam will
perform on the Day of Judgment is being the intercession. In fact,
among the 456 different categories of Shaeffer shefa, the main Shiva
which is on the Day of Judgment, just to start the hisab start that
accounting, that's one of the shutter, then they shut off taking
somebody out of hellfire into Jana, there's shafa for having
people enter into Jana without questioning, give him a golden
ticket. Essentially, there is shafa of raising people's status
in Ghana, they already in general, but to give them a higher place in
general, give them an upgrade. So these are all different types of
shitara. And
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam will definitely have the
ability to do all of the Shabbat. In fact, some of them are only for
him, like the chef or Shiva or
of the first day of that initial day when the reckoning has to
begin. So he now just has so much of an assurance that he's the only
in the hereafter after Allah subhanaw taala the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam will give me I'll get salvation through
Him because He will give me my shofar
What are your food? I mean hello Hina yet then 30 But in the higher
tomb beetle as Hara Phil Akemi. So he's saying his wealth will not
ignore a dusty hand.
I'll be asking I will be lifting a dusty hand so that they can get
some help. So I won't deviate onto the wrong path in the hereafter. I
won't go towards the hellfire. I need a hand to pull me to Jana. To
help me up. So my hand is a dusty hand as though showing.
Normally we're talking about a dusty hand being a poor hands a
needy hand, because it's in the mud yet and the ribbons that he
two Robins mud. So yeah, then 30 beds.
He's saying, Xena his wealth. He's not he's got so much to give. Why
should he let me go? Then he says in the higher tomb beetle as hard
to fill Academy because higher is shower, a shower shower of water
brings flowers, even to arid hilltops. There's a hilltop that
you don't see much potential there for growth. But when the rain
comes there, even a small shower is things suddenly start growing.
So he's saying that just as you can hope for good things to happen
through rain, for it to bring greenery and prosperity and
brightness to an area. Likewise, you Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, why couldn't you hope for that if rain can give so much
benefit that the Jew then the mercy of Rasulullah sallallahu his
generosity which is documented in Hadith, so much how can you not
expect that were the prophets of Allah isn't one of the Sahaba
mentioned that the Prophet sallallahu sallam was so generous,
especially in Ramadan. And then he says the prophets Allah son was
more generous than the wind, a Rehan Musala when uh, when the
when when a wind comes like a hurricane, or a strong wind comes,
it just goes everywhere. It reaches every place. So if that's
the case, then rain is easy rain. Now he's saying that this is
exactly like Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
What am Oded Zahra to duniya oolitic data what year does he
hate him? Bhima Athena Harami. This is very interesting. He's
actually speaking about a historical event, something that
happened just before law school of law Rosenstein, he says and yet I
crave not the worldly flowers. He spoke about flowers on on a
hilltop he says it's not what I want. He says, and yet I crave not
the worldly flowers, which the handles who hate wants picked by
praising her on her him her heron.
Now what that is, is this is alluding to a story that there was
a famous poet, he praised a particular wealthy and generous
individual.
And that generous individual really made that poet's day
gave him huge amounts of riches, and wealth. That's what he's
saying is that those are the worldly flowers. That's not what I
want from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, I'm worried about
the hereafter. So I'm not interested in what Zohaib received
for praising her him that in the world, there is a tradition, when
somebody praises somebody else makes them feel good. They give
them something I am praising Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wasallam, but not for riches of this world, I want something
higher than that, which is in the hereafter. So let's let's look at
these before we carry on to the next few.
So in the first one, he says, Since I devoted my thoughts to
praising him, I found him to be the best assurance of my
salvation.
So he's saying that since I've been praising him,
anything that I need of the dunya I praise us all allah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam Send blessings on him.
And my needs are fulfilled. My needs are fulfilled
whenever there's been a difficulty or hardship in front of me, and I
have done Scheffer, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, I
found some kind of opening that has opened up in front of me.
And it's taken me out of the difficulty and the hardship.
Now, this is obviously nothing to do with just the poem, just the
poet. This is something if you read on Llamosa Harvey's book on
salawat and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam will
One of the greatest benefits of the Salawat on the price of Allahu
Allahu Salam, and this is in the tradition of many countries today,
whenever they find a difficulty in front is that Salli ala Muhammad,
Salah interview Allahumma Salli ala. They will read salawat and
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, because reading Salvator
Rosa Flores is a dua to Allah subhana wa Tada
Oh Allah bless Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam. And when you do
that, that is definitely accepted because Allah has guaranteed the
acceptance of Salawat. So then, it's a time when Allah is giving.
So then you expect that Allah will also give many other things in the
meantime.
Because Allah is generous, when he accepts one dua, he will accept
everything that surrounds it. That's why many are other
mentioned, when you make your DUA started off with Salawat, and
ended with Salawat, on the Prophet sallallahu sallam, those are
definitely to be accepted. Thus, whatever is in between has to be
accepted by Allah subhanaw taala.
So he's, he's using all of these things, you're saying?
The question is that, if the hereafter is something which is on
the unseen, then how can he show so much assurance? This is a
question. So the answer to that is, this is of course, based on
his personal vision. This is based on his personal feeling. There's
no guarantee for this for a nonprofit, there's no guarantee.
But what he's saying here with so much assurance, he's obviously
saying based on his thoughts, based on his experience, and you
know, if there's somebody who has had an experience in this world of
Allah subhanaw taala, giving him bounties in this world, giving him
piety, giving him taqwa, and giving him worldly bounties, then
why should they hope for anything less in the Hereafter, when that's
a place for Allah subhanaw taala to give even more, of course,
delusion is something else. But when things the test of this is if
good things are happening to you, and worldly good things are
happening to you. And you're not getting further from the team.
Then consider those to be bounties. If the dunya is opening
up in front of you, things are getting very easy. You're getting
promotions, in your jobs, your bank balance is rising, and things
are just going well for you. You can take holidays, twice a year,
but you find that you're slipping from the Path of Allah subhanho wa
taala, then it's something to fear about. So the dunya is no
guarantee for anything. But when piety is increasing, when you're
becoming more religious and righteous, then there's every hope
that inshallah Allah has good things in store for you. So you
think Allah subhanho wa Taala you try even more.
So, then he says, that this is all based on his opinion, this is all
based on what he thinks is going to happen to him based on his
experience.
Especially since he is dedicating so much time to praising Rasul
Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam. And there's no doubt that
when you have somebody who is a servant to a king or a wealthy
individual, and that King is constantly giving him gifts,
favors bounties. Why should this person think that if I am in big
trouble one day, Ricky will not help me? When I'm not in trouble?
He's giving me things. So why should he not so this is all based
on just common sense and understanding, isn't it? How you
feel it's about his feeling, and nobody can question his feeling.
There was a person whose name was Ali intermorphic.
He did a number of Hajj
for Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. So you know we do hajj on behalf
of others. Generally people don't behalf of their deceased parents
or relatives. This individual he did a number of Hajj on behalf of
Rasulullah sallallahu.
So one day he sees the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam in his
dream
and the Promise of Allah is and told him
how he had to look are in Ghana.
This is this will remain a favor.
This will remain a favor
in in your account. According to us. Basically, I owe you one
as we say.
So after doing all of these Hajj, this is what the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam told him in his dream. Walker Finca Beihai
overpay,
which we will compensate you for on the Day of Judgment.
Hidden bedika film O'Keefe holding your hands on that day of standing
for all the helical Jana enter you into Jana Wanda Sophie carabin
hisab when people will be in the torment of the reckoning. So
anybody who
stops to praise Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they
will. They are obviously sending a favor to us all allah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, and Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam is the best of
those who repays favors.
Because of Rasul Allah, Islam is a common nurse, he's the most noble,
most generous of people, most honorable.
And that's why the commentator, he says that this is what forced me,
ignore. Jeeva says, This is what encouraged me this is what kept me
going to write this commentary of this book. The, the poem had
written the poem, the poet had written the poem.
Ignite Jeeva, says that the reason I went through all of this effort
to write this commentary of this poem is because of this, so that I
can also be part of this praise so that on the Day of Judgment, I can
also receive the benefit of it.
And to be honest, this is the reason in sha Allah why we're
doing this as well today. We've been doing it for the last several
months.
There's something great about this poem that has had made it
celebrated throughout history. So there was a curiosity what is this
all about? What's the great thing about this poem? So may Allah
accept it on behalf of all of us, as well on the day of judgment,
and made me here make it of those things that are sort of La
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would consider to be acceptable.
And thus, we gain the benefit of his intercession on the day of
judgment.
And the reason is that there's no guarantee for any of us we don't
know how worth how valued our
offering is. But there is a state saying in Arabic for in naman that
offer I'll cure army, Robe Burma and Hello.
That sometimes
when you keep trying to have yourself invited to the table,
have an honorable person, you might just get lucky sometimes.
So there's an honorable, wealthy person inviting the big names. You
don't have a big name, you don't have a high position. But you keep
hanging about down there trying to get invited.
So one day they might think yeah, he's been around for a while.
Let's allow him to come inside.
Because of Allah who will fatherly love him? Allah subhanaw. Taala is
the one with the greatest of Dante's and fevers and grace.
Then he says,
What are your thoughts I mean, hello, Xena yet, and Teddy, but in
the higher tongue metal as holofil Akemi. In this one, he's saying
that.
The Prophet sallallahu I use them just by his very nature, was
always wanting to honor people. That's his good character. That's
his generosity.
And anybody who wanted his help, it says in a hadith that even a
slave girl could come. And Ebola would just go with
a slave girl would come and say, I need some help somewhere. And he
would just literally walk away with her and go and help her out.
What that means is, when a person is so busy, he's going to be very
selective what he does. So I'm going to just go with everybody.
Today, if people tried, if a if a person who is very busy helping
out many different people, if he does try to help everybody out,
he'll have an absolutely no time. Of course, it works out in America
as well in his time. So even if a slave girl came,
and in those days savings were considered insignificant.
He would go and do whatever she wanted him to do, he would go, she
would help her out. So if that is the case, then Subhanallah you
know, we have lots to hope for that's he's known for that. So
anybody who adheres to the soul, allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
in this world, will become wealthy in this world. When we say
wealthy, we don't necessarily mean you'll have abundant wealth.
That's not the wealth we're speaking about. We're talking
about the wealth of the heart, a person will be enriched.
A person will be enriched in the hearts, even though what he has in
his hands is small. Person may not have too much substance, but their
hearts will be enriched. And that is real richness. Alena Grinnell,
Columbia Colombia, sort of Rosa Lawson said, Lena, Lisa and Kathy
Laura. We're not kidding Alina, you know,
that wealth is not to have abundance. But it is the
abundance. It's the richness of the huts, which is a higher to pay
you
a sublime life, an excellent life that is connected to Allah
subhanaw taala at peace and tranquility, despite the fact that
a person may
he'd be hungry throughout his day.
For us, it's the total opposite we pursue in our life, so that our
stomachs remain filled, our pockets remain full.
Our bank balances remain high. That's our focus, and everything
else is a side concern.
That's in terms of the dunya. By the way, I'm here to tell you, but
that's the benefit you get from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
in terms of the Hereafter,
then clearly he is the one that everybody is going to be asking
shafa you might be asking how many 1000s and millions of people will
be asking him how is he going to get around to everybody? So
well leave that to Allah subhanaw taala
that that will happen. And the closer you are to him, the faster
it will happen. So then that's why he said,
To give an example of the nobility of Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi
wasallam. That rain sometimes causes growth, even on arid
hilltops,
which seems to be unlikely, seems to be an impossibility, it seems
to be a great difficulty. If that can happen. Then clearly on the
Day of Judgment, you've got nothing to worry about. See rain,
water goes down. So what's going to happen on hilltops is that when
rainwater falls there, it's going to trickle down. He doesn't stay
there. So there's nothing that can generally grow there. Because
generally, when you've got a swamp or a bog, that's where you have
more growth, because water is concentrated there. So that's why
it's against the general nature of things that you get these kinds of
growth on hilltops. But that's the whole point here that don't, you
must be concerned about this because in the Hereafter, you have
this possibility with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and
then he says,
what I'm going to Zara to dunya analytic data, yet so halen Bhima
ethna. Allah Harami lamb Oh, that means I don't intend Sahara to
dunya the adornment of the world's unlimited data fits the one which
was picked by Yoda so Hayden, by the two hands of the poem, poet
Zohaib Bhima. Athena Allah halimi, because of his praise of her him,
the leader or the king of the time, the generous King. Now this
is something that needs to be understood. Zohaib was the most
proficient and popular poet in the time of Jay Hillier. You had many
many famous ones some of you may have, know the names of some of
them. It says that poetry was genetic in their family. His son,
he had two sons Bucha IRIB nose or hay Zohaib and Ignacio haev.
Gardeners so history is quite amazing booj who had become a
Muslim, they say that the Bronx and Olufsen saw this Zohaib the
father when he was 100 years old.
And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said about him, Allah
Hoonah or even even shaytani Allah protect me from his shaytaan.
From that day, he didn't say any more poems. They had a sister he
had a sister concert, she was also really proficient poets as well.
So poetry ran in that family. His two famous sons, his his name is
Zohar IGNOU Abhi, Salma Zohaib ignobly Summa. He is known to be
more famous than all the other great poem poets of the time that
wrote those seven famous poems that were hung on to the Kaaba
before Rasulullah sallallahu Radiosondes prophecy. So you've
got individuals like emerald, emerald emerald case, even old
face was one of the most famous ones. Right his he's got a famous
poem define an upcoming Decra hobby been for how many? And so
on? There's no better the biani you've got Antara? Tara, Tara,
Tara, Abner. And these were some of the famous poems or poets of
the time they weren't celebrated. But, but this is a he was the most
famous of them.
Though liberal tastes is probably competing with him. So he had
praised this had him
and had him was one of the famous leaders of very generous as well.
His name was Ibnu Sina. And even though Hayyan had an ignore Cinna,
ignore Hayyan.
And he would give lots of gifts too
hot to Sohei.
And it went beyond the norm of how much people would generally give.
Every time you would praise him he'd give him a slave. In fact,
every time he saw him, he
would give him something such that Zoho would try to avoid him
sometimes because it was kind of embarrassing. You know, when you
get so much from someone, you actually start feeling a bit shy
afterwards. So it got embarrassing that he would have to stay away
from him sometimes. So you can just see the depiction of the
generosity here, that he is now giving him so much he doesn't even
want to get. So that's why he's using this. This is the beauty of
this point. He's just applying to different ideas, historical
points, these great points like this. So you can tell that he's
well read literature, a person of literature, a man of letters.
So that is what what he's referring to.
So he's saying here that
I crave not the worldly flowers, which the hand of Zohar wants
picked by praising haram, or herring rather.
Because that's all about the dunya that's not what I want. I'm sick
of that. What I want is the hereafter.
What's very interesting is that you have caribou so here, and booj
booj become Muslim. cabinas O'Hara was one of those who used to write
against the Prophet sallallahu. He said some poetry against the price
of Allah Islam.
Now, when Maka was conquered, booj wrote to his brother, that I've
seen some other people when they've come and sought
forgiveness from a surah Allah salAllahu Salam, despite all the
criticism that they've done in the past is forgiven them.
I think that you should do the same thing, but because there was
a lot of animosity that the person had he said no first, but then he
realized that in trying to hide, just like academia, if not Abuja
had also tried to hide as well in the beginning and went off.
There was no point in hiding because Islam had become now
consolidated throughout the lens. Now, despite its vastness, where
were you going to hide? It's almost as if the ground was
shrinking around you. And things were becoming too difficult to
manage. Finally, Allah gave him today he came to us with allah
sallallahu sallam, he came to Madina Munawwara and he went to a
friend's house first and he said he'd never seen the Rosemount
privacy laws. I've never seen him. This caregivers are here.
So he says, Look, when you're taking the Royce alarmism, he saw
he had him taken to rossello some as an anonymous individual, and he
said to Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam that is there possibility
of forgiveness for somebody who's been critical before and committed
these kinds of crimes and so on, and the rest of us and said,
Absolutely, he said, even if it's gonna be a bruise, or hey, he
said, even if it's carbon monoxide, and he said, I am carbon
reserve.
And then he said a poem there and they're this beautiful poem very,
very long. In Praise of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. It's called
bandit. So ads, it starts off just like this poem does, bandit. So I
have it's about, again, it starts off with this kind of love theme,
just to get people's attention. This is the way of Arabic poetry,
right? Is that just the way this one starts as well? And it was a
long poem and he praised the Prophet sallallahu sallam,
and the process almost so
he liked his poem so much that he took his his
his quota his clock off, and he gave it to him as a hobby.
And that was stayed in his family until why we are the Allah one who
bought it from them. Then it went through the whole of Donbass ins
and so on until it ended up in Egypt. Then it went to Turkey, and
it's in Turkey today. It's the cloacal Rasulullah Salah some that
still exists. It was his son Desportes son that he's referring
to.
So anyway, one of the daughters of this Zohaib Gab, sister, she came
to Ramadan hotcopper the Allahu Anhu. One day and what are the
Ilan said mainly the our PA haram Ignosi Nan Abba, Kahina Muda. What
did this Hallym Ibnu Sina and give to your father, he was
interesting. This was famously known among the tribes, what was
the gift that he gave him when he praised him? So this was her
response. She said, I thought who matter and what earthen off now
who died,
he gave him lots of possession, lots of commodities, which time
has wasted away.
So all of those riches were given, but they're finished now.
So that's the description of that. So that's why he's quoting that
point and you're saying, I don't want that, from Allah subhanaw
from the Prophet sallallahu sallam, I want something greater
in the hereafter.
So then what are the Alon said to her? Ma tahu abou Kola euphony him
die.
What
your father has given you
that is not something which time will cause to
waste away.
Now, the next point
again, this is another one of those lines which those who
praises poem will quote a lot. And the detractors will say that this
poem contains Schick because of this, and the next one.
He says yeah, a caramel rosary. Yeah a chroma loosely Maleme and
aloo be he see worker in the hood in hardeeville anime
Most Noble Messenger, to whom but you Shall I turn when the general
calamity befalls?
And then he says, Well, I yield to eco rasool Allah He Jha who can be
it will curry Mata Jalla bass bass Bismil mon tatami Moon dakini
God's Messenger, your marriage shall not shrink on my accounts,
when the generous God appears with the name Avenger that'll have to
be explained. And finally, this is another one that they
have an issue with, for in them in Judaica dunya what dot rotta will
mean Rulu will be currently one low he will Academy for this world
and the next from your bounty and knowledge of pen and tablet of
what you know.
So let's quickly explain those. He's saying the first one he's
saying yeah, a criminal healthy man, even a Louis C worker in the
hood and how they tell me which means
almost noble of messengers to whom but you Shall I turn when the
general calamity before it's now think about that, in general? What
is that referring to?
When is the big calamity going to befall in this world or in the
Hereafter? It's in the hereafter. What they do is there certain
translations online that have criticized this poem they
translate this as most noble of messengers to whom but you should
I turn when any calamity befalls saying that instead of turning to
Allah subhanaw taala. This point is telling people to turn to Rasul
Allah salAllahu Salam, when you get any difficulty, so or so Allah
helped me out in this, you know, that kind of situation. But
clearly, he's saying when the great calamity befalls, on the Day
of Judgment, the Hadith mentions it that people will go to Adam and
he sallallahu alayhi salam ASR, Lisa Mousavi Salam, they'll
eventually end up with a surah Allah salAllahu Salam. So he's
just saying I'm gonna go to you directly.
Why should I go to anybody else. So, to whom shall I turn when the
general calamity before general means that will affect everybody
on that day of judgment.
So the problem so he is saying this, trying to gain the shuffle
of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam in his mind, and he is
trying to call on to him with his most noble name. This is a
personal feeling, people, you'll see women doing it all the time
that something happens, oh, Ma, oh, my mother. It's an expression.
It's an expression. They don't mean their mother is going to come
and help them right now. It's just an expression.
People speak like that. They don't mean that.
The the individual is going to come and help them physically do
something for them.
So he is referring to the throb of the Hereafter that he's referring
to.
And so the Allahu Anhu relates that was all allah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said, and a wellness inclusion is a body
through.
I am the first person that will come out the day when people will
be resurrected. What Anahata Ibrahim? Eva do and I will be
their spokesperson, their sermon, iser when they will go as a
delegation. Well, I know MOBA Shiro from either a zoo, and I'm
also going to be the giver of glad tidings to them, when they become
despondent and Liwa will have the bat, the flag of praise will be in
my hand, while a chroma will the other Arab be one.
And I'm also the most noble of the children of Adam, in the sight of
Allah subhanho wa taala. And I say all of this without any praise,
without any pride. There's a various versions of this
narration, but it gives you an idea another one says aniseed all
the other Miyamoto Yama, I'm the leader of the children of Adam on
the Day of Judgment, why not? Oh, where are we and Shaquan will
cover and I'm also the first person that the cover will, will
reveal will allow to come out on the Day of Judgment. We're aware
to share fear in a one on Bucha 13. Wonderful, and I'm also the
first to intercede and the first was intercession will be accepted.
And I say this without pride. So clearly, this is what he's
referring to. If you deny that you can say this then you have to deny
those are highly
and the reason for that
under a little under the table on the Day of Judgment, if there's a
leader other than Allah subhanaw taala is the promise of the law.
So what I mean by a leader is somebody who will have some kind
of
say, some kind of say it's only from Allah subhanaw taala. But we
know that so Allah salAllahu alayhi salam will be given the
only day of judgment. That's why he then says Well, I yield li
Karasu rasool Allah He Jo hookah B. C Walker in the hood in Hadith,
Eli Meany, most noble of messengers,
God's Messenger, your marriage shall not shrink on my account
when the generous God a beer appears with the name of MJ saying
two things here.
This needs to be understood because this is bringing two
things together. He say number one, by helping me out, nothing is
going to diminish from what you have the ability to do on that
day. So to help me out is not going to be too much of a burden
from for you. He's making it easy. He's giving him excuses. So it's
easy for you to help me out. And the reason I need help on that day
is because that is a day when Allah subhanaw taala says it's
referred in Hadith that Allah will say that I am angry today as I've
never been angry.
Oh, debo Aleo. Today I'm angry as I've never been angry before. He
will express and the manifestation of His anger and his wrath will be
evident on that day. But then after that his mercy will come
into full force. When he sees all the intercession that Rasul Allah
salAllahu. Salam has asked him to allow him to do he will do and
then finally, when Versa was I'm asking for some what Allah say no,
now it's my turn. And he will swear all of these oaths by my
Kibriya by my is by my majesty by my grandma, then I am going to
take up people who from the Hellfire who have even a, an iota
of iman in their heart. So you're going to have all of these
different manifestations that Allah subhanaw taala has many,
many names, 99 or more names. So these are going to be manifested.
That's what he's referring to hear that I'm going to really need some
help on that day. Because the gentler be Esmil been taught me
that Jalla means Allah will become manifest with his name of Moon
takim. Moon taki means the Avenger, the one who will avenge
for the wrong that peoples have people have done the excesses that
they've committed in this world. When that happens, I really need
some help. So he's referring to the names of Allah. And then he is
saying to Rasulullah Salallahu Salam is not going to harm you
much at all. It's not going to take much away from you at all to
help me on that day of judgment.
So then, finally, he says for in them in Judaica, dunya, autodata,
Wamena, aloo, Mika, Elliman, lo he will call me
again. Now the praise of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam and
this is the one they say that he's exaggerated so much that he's he's
gone over the over the limits. But again, this is a point. So how can
you say that? And
there's no exaggeration in here to be honest, it's, it's clear, if
you understand what the author is thinking. He says, For this world,
the reason why I'm calling up to you is because this world and the
next from your bounty.
So he's saying, How can this world and the next will be from your
bounties like soulless, also is responsible for this world and the
Hereafter, meaning this world is only created because of him and so
on and so forth. This is the kind of, we've already dealt with an
array, one of the two lines or one line like this before anyway, and
then he says, and the knowledge of the pen and the tablet are from
what you know,
whatever is in the divine tablet, Allahumma fouth.
It only encompasses part of the knowledge of Rasulullah sallallahu
sallam. So basically, that knowledge sums up to be part of
the knowledge of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam and he has even
more knowledge than that. So they think that that's a massive
exaggeration.
This is what I want to quickly explain.
Number one,
there is a narration which many have considered to be extremely
weak and so on, which is that if it wasn't for the purpose of the
lesson, this entire world would not have been created.
However, what you have to also refer to here that it doesn't have
to be meaning that this dunya and the asker comes from the
generosity of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the
sense that Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said to Allah to create to
create the world before he was even created, doesn't have to mean
that it doesn't have to be taken in that meaning. There is no doubt
that a small allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
had a lot of benefits in this world, which nobody else had that
Allah subhanaw taala gave him.
For example, Allah subhanaw taala made Lima booty where
The that you gain at the end of a war that was not allowed for any
nation before him. For any of the prophets, it was allowed for us
will Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam. And of course it was mentioned
this in a hadith a number of specific characteristics. The
entire world has been made a place that I can pray and I don't have
to pray in such designated areas only as long as it's pure, I can
pray and so on and so forth. Allah subhanho wa Taala made the
mountains of the Hama etcetera into gold for us with allah
sallallahu offered it to him. And he said, No, that's in the world
when it comes to the hereafter. It's the oil, Muhammad, Muhammad,
Abdullah, Jetta, raffia all of these things that we read the
special station on the Day of Judgment, that Allah subhanaw
taala will give the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the
special flag of praise on the day of judgment, and how the low road
which is the pond, or the watering place from which the Prophet
sallallaahu son will give people to drink, and so on and so forth.
All of this is the great generosity that he has in the
hereafter. What's very interesting is the way he's described this, he
says for indemand, Judaica, duniya odorata. Part of
your Jude and your Sahaba your generosity is the dunya and it's
called wife
duniya Ouattara Theodora tune in Arabic refers to a co wife, and
the root word is harm. The root means harm. And the reason why co
wives are considered to be the retain for each other is because
one is generally harmed because of the other person, because that
part of the attention of their husband gets taken away. That's
why for each other they don't retain. Now, again, this is the
erudition of the author of the poet that he calls the dunya Adara
of the Hereafter, in the sense that the more you look for in this
dunya, you're going to be harmed in your hereafter. So he's the
perfect word that he is using
to bring both of those here. You could have said, you know from
your generosity is the dunya and akhira, or from the dunya and the
next, but he says what are Rottie realized, realizing that you put
more effort in this world, you harm your hereafter. And if you
put more effort in the Hereafter, you may harm your dunya
because they are the retain, and then he says women are the weaker
even though he will call me
now about this alumina el mundo, who will tell me that's another
very important part because some of you said this is such an
exaggeration, how can reverse racism add more knowledge that is
in the local market.
So that needs to be explained. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam was given a huge amount of knowledge. You know, we don't know
how much knowledge he had, it was a huge amount of knowledge,
probably so Lawson was given the knowledge. He says low,
low to no more than older Hector McAleenan, whether baccatum
cathedra if you knew what I know, you would, you would cry more and
laugh less and huge amounts of information, that bursa Day of
Judgment. All of these things were were explained to him. So when he
was told about the knowledge of the past, and the future, things
that are going to occur, which obviously didn't reveal much of
that knowledge, then this is an absolute possibility. A better
explanation of that is provided by Allah by jury, where he explains
this quite well. And I'm just going to quickly
read that for you. He says,
that he says mineral lumic from your knowledge which means that
what is in the law, who marfo is a part of your knowledge.
Knowledge of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam is all of those things
which Allah told him.
There's a hadith that is related in Muslim Amma, the very famous
Hadith that
Allah the Prophet sallallahu sallam said that Allah appeared to
me
in a dream, in a vision, Allah appeared to me
in the most beautiful form. Allah knows best what he means by that
beautiful because Allah cannot be seen in this world, even in a
dream. So a beautiful form, appeared in front of me saying it
was Allah speaking, right?
He said, Yeah, Mohammed. Do you know what the people of the high
heavens the inhabitants of the high heavens are discussing? What
they are arguing about? I said, No. So then he placed this form
placed his hand on my back until I felt its coolness until I felt its
coolness even in my chest. That's how calming and cooling this
feeling was, for our limb to Murph is somewhat odd. And I then became
to know of everything that is in the heavens and the earth. So this
was a very special experience that is related in this video to just
considered sign, but about Muhammad is really
To disbelief.
And then it goes on, then it goes on. But the main thing is that in
this hadith, you learn that Allah subhanho wa Taala inspired him
with the knowledge of what's in the heavens, and what's what's in
the earth. Now, we also know that when Allah subhanho, wa taala,
50,000 years before creating this world,
Allah subhanaw taala, the first thing he created was the pen. And
he created the tablets. And he said to the pen, right, and the
pen said, What should I write? And he said, Write everything that is
going to happen until the day of judgment. So the knowledge in the
tablet is only
that which is going to occur from the beginning of the world, to the
Day of Judgment, not after it.
That's what the including included in there. The question is that
those five things that Allah subhanaw taala says, In the Quran,
Allah in the wild was, well, you know, the lake, the Day of
Judgment, only Allah knows when it's going to occur, the rain, the
what's in the stomach, the other woman in terms of what exactly is
going to happen to this child and offspring, and how long it's going
to live and all of that, where a person is going to die. And so on
these five points, only Allah knows nobody else knows even a
sword allah sallallahu Sallam doesn't know. So Allah, but God is
saying is that
if somebody questions that these five things are in local
metaphors, but the problem is person doesn't know them, then how
can this knowledge of a local map would be from his knowledge? When
it incorporates those five things? And he doesn't know those five
things? Do you understand the question? Right? So then he
responds. And he says,
that, it is not true that those five things are necessarily
written in a local level. Because if it was, we don't agree that
they are, because if it was, then there's other angels who are
allowed to look at a local map wouldn't see parts of it, they may
be able to see it as well then if that was the case, when Allah said
that his captain withheld the knowledge of that it means it's
not in the local market with as well. So it can be not nothing
wrong. And the fact that Allah so the prophets, Allah has been given
huge amounts of knowledge, which is not just restricted to this
world, what is in a local market is only restricted to the Day of
Judgment. After that, what's going to happen it doesn't have that
knowledge whereas the surah Lhasa Lawson does have that knowledge.
Yes, the rose arson does not have the knowledge of Allah. As much as
Allah does. Nobody says that. You know, even those people who say
the sort of Lhasa Lhasa is honorable rave. To be honest, the
leaders don't say that. The person on the ground might believe that
will Allahu Allah, but their leader, and I've read that in in
there to see in the reader, we have Siri, Adobe, I think that's
what it's called. It doesn't say he doesn't say that. He says that
the knowledge is not the same as that of Allah, nobody can have the
same knowledge as Allah, but it's a huge amount of knowledge. That
is mind boggling. We can't even understand it.
I mean, the Brontosaurus in his heart was prepared over and over
again, washed specialty. So for him to be able to experience these
high realities. It's not a it's it's not anything that anybody
else can have. One needs very pure hearts to have this kind of this
kind of knowledge.
And then he says a budget he says that, even if we agree that that
may be written in a low in a local mifold then he's saying that some
of the knowledge of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the
knowledge of the low welcome, that
is of only those things which people can know. So those things
will be an exemption, those then an addition that maybe are found
in a local bar food. So this is the way to reconcile this. Now,
this might be boring if you didn't have a problem with this to start
with. But I just had to mention it because people are going to be
looking at this. And this question might arise. And since he's dealt
with the question, I thought I would mention it anyway.
So anyway, this is this was one of the problematic ones that people
generally have an issue with the majority of the other VA and even
the scholars of his own time, never condemned the author for
doing this. Because they understood what he was trying to
say. And it's very easy to try to take the most negative connotation
of somebody's
statement, and try to
misunderstand it and misquote it. But that's not what we're here
for. We're trying to understand why this is such a great poem. So
may Allah subhanaw taala give us the Tofik we have a few points
left inshallah we aim to complete this next week.
