			Allah subhanaw taala Surah Nisa
one verse 133. In Russia you they
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:10
			become a Johan Suwa TBR hurry. So
it's not just in one verse Allah
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:14
			is warning about this and telling
us about this is the third verse.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:19
			If Allah wills he can remove you,
take you away, oh people and bring
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			another group.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:27
			Then Allah says in surah two
Ibrahim verse 1920 in Russia youth
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:34
			Hey welcome via TV Harlequin Jedi
on Lika Isla Allah He bi z is, in
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38
			fact in this one is saying, if
Allah wills he can replace you he
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:43
			can take you away, remove you and
bring a whole new creation. That's
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			not difficult. Forget about
bringing just new humans like a
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			different group of people. He can
bring a totally new creation
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			because he's done it this way for
his own wisdom.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03

Dean Amma beret
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:20
			so covering some of the most
important and prominent gems of
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			the Quran,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:27
			some of the Jawaharlal Quran, this
is verse of Surah tilma either
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			verse 54 to 56
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:36
			or older bIllahi min ash shaytani
R rajim Bismillah R Rahman r
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			Yeah,

			They let in Ireland, Mina is that
in Ireland? Fiorina Yuja he do
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:02
			Nafisa we didn't. He was your hall
for another woman.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:09
			In the Nika law he de mi
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			Allah who is zero 90.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:24
			In Wali, you como law who also do

			or Sudha, who will levena Manu in
his law, he humo Laurie boo.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			So I'll just translate that for us
so that we understand what these
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:51
			verses are saying, Oh, you who
have believed, whoever Have you
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			should revert from his religion,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:58
			then Allah will bring forth in
place of them a people
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:03
			that he will love, and who will
love him
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			who are humble towards the
believers, this is their
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:12
			characteristics now powerful
against the disbelievers.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:17
			They strive in the Cause of Allah,
and do not fear the blame of a
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			critic.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:25
			That is the favor of Allah He
bestows it upon whom He wills. And
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			Allah is all encompassing. And
knowing
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			your ally is none but Allah.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:37
			And thus his messenger and those
who have believed, meaning those
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			who establish pray and gives the
car and then they bow in worship.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			And whoever is an ally of Allah
and His Messenger, and those who
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50
			have believed, indeed, the party
of Allah, they will be the
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:55
			Victoria. So the predominant ones,
very, very powerful verses, and I
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:59
			think we need to be reminded them
reminded of them every now and
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			then. And the reason for that is
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:07
			when we're living in such
confusing times, with a lot of
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:13
			challenging ideologies, campaigns,
actually to mislead. And not just
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:17
			in the Western world, but in the
Muslim world as well. Lots of
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21
			confusion ensues, lots of
problems, lots of challenges,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:25
			questions that arise. This sets it
all back and says, look, it's up
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			to you. What do you want, Allah
doesn't need you if
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:34
			you want to go somewhere else. If
you don't want to be associated
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			and an ally to Allah subhanaw
taala Well, Allah doesn't really
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			need you. You're not really
helping and assisting because
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:44
			Allah is independent. And Allah
subhanaw taala has, he will bring
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			somebody else they will always
somebody, they'll there'll be
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:51
			somebody. So Allah will bring
someone else if you don't fit that
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:55
			bill and you don't qualify and you
don't want to qualify then Allah
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			will just bring somebody else
Allah is not in need of anybody in
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			particular
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:07
			So, the background of this verse
to understand when it was revealed
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:11
			why it was revealed, however, it
might have been revealed about a
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			certain incident. It doesn't mean
it has to be restricted to that
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:17
			incident. And there's a general
message that we're timeless
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:21
			message of it that we're receiving
today. So what Allah subhanaw
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:27
			taala is saying here is, he is
essentially revealing his quadra,
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:31
			Alavi Ma is immense power, like I
can do what I want.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			And then saying that with my
immense power, through my event,
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:40
			immense power, anybody who wants
to take up the responsibility of
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:44
			assisting the dean and
establishing the Sharia and, and
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:48
			giving the Dawa and helping people
and assisting people to bring them
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			on the right track.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			If there's somebody
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			who wants to turn away from that,
that's fine Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			will bring a much better people.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			So not even the same kind of
people but better people.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:10
			In all of this, there's subtle
rhetoric, he'll bring better
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:15
			people than you that already makes
you feel bad like a you know, and
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:19
			people with much more strength
people with much more power, much
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:23
			more grit much more Iman and
strength in that and Acoma,
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:28
			sebelah. And people on a much
straighter path. Allah subhanho wa
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			Taala says in Surah to Mohamed
which is a very, very powerful
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:35
			verse I just always when you read
surah to Mohammed which in another
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:39
			verse is called suitable title.
It's just starts off a Lavina
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:43
			kifaru was subdue, and Sabine
Allah He Ebola atma LA home and it
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:47
			just sets the tone right from
there. It's a very, very majestic
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			Surah right. Next time when you
read it, read it, you know, focus,
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:54
			focus on the translation. So in
there ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada says,
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:59
			we're in data well, lo Yes, Debbie
Daniel Coleman. Hi Eurocom muda
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			yaku
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:07
			if you turn back, Allah will just
replace you with another people,
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			and they won't be like you then
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			they won't be like you they won't
be weak like you. Allah subhanaw
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:18
			taala says Surah Nisa one verse
133. In Russia, you they become a
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:24
			Johan Suwa TBR hurry. So it's not
just in one verse, Allah is
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			warning about this and telling us
about this is the third verse. If
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:32
			Allah wills he can remove you,
take you away old people, and
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			bring another group.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:39
			Then Allah says in surah two
Ibrahim, verse 1920 in Russia
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:44
			youth Hey welcome Wyatt TV
Harlequin Jedi. Amen Alma rica
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:49
			Allah Allah He bi z is, in fact in
this one is saying, if Allah
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:53
			wills, He can replace you, he can
take you away, remove you, and
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:57
			bring a whole new creation. That's
not difficult. Forget about
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:01
			bringing just new humans, like a
different group of people. He can
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:06
			bring a totally new creation,
because he's done it this way for
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09
			his own wisdom. And we can't
question that wisdom because we're
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			part of that wisdom. So how can
you question the wisdom when we're
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:18
			actually just one of the pawns in
that, you know, in the grand
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:23
			scheme, right, and we're trying to
make a change, you know, to the
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:28
			scheme. Well, the scheme what
control do we have to be honest?
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:33
			So Allah subhanaw taala and what
my daddy got Adela he'd be busy,
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:37
			this is not difficult or
burdensome at all on Allah, He can
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			do it just like that.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:44
			Then Allah Subhana Allah so Allah
subhanho wa Taala says here in the
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47
			first verse, first part of this
verse is old people who believe
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			or people who believe those of you
who turn away from the deen
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:57
			meaning turning away from
rightness, correctness and truth
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:02
			to the battle and the falsehood.
The Mohammed ignore cam said that
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:07
			this was revealed regarding some
of the leaders of the Quraysh.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:13
			Because there was some discussion
going there, maybe they were in
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:17
			Islam, half their half, not mana,
15, etc. This whole discussion at
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:23
			that time was very relevant.
People were coming into Islam, but
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:26
			not fully then they were turning
away, they will be misled
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			sometimes or had other reasons for
turning away. So Allah is warning
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			them, we're not going to harm us.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			Now, we don't want to take that
attitude that we've got people
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			today why it's so relevant today.
We got people here, religious
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:42
			families, and they are having
doubts in their religion, meaning
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:45
			some of the children, some of the
youth, some adults sometimes as
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:49
			well, they're having doubts in
their religion. Look when you the
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:53
			simple thing is this way, it's not
because of the Islam doesn't have
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:57
			its power and so on. It's just the
misunderstood it's just ignorance
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			of Islam. They've hardly spent any
time on it.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			A lot of the people I've spoken to
who have
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:08
			a plasticized, or are in dealt now
or consider themselves to be,
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12
			whether atheist or agnostics or
whatever, a lot of the time when I
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			asked them, have you read this?
And have you read that, and know,
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			something's bothered them,
somebody has bothered them.
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			Usually, it's not Islam that's
bothered me, it's usually some
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:26
			Muslim who's bothered them, either
their parents or their teacher, or
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:31
			some friend or some abuse or
something. So now, they go looking
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:35
			for assistance, they go looking
for some comforts. And there's
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:39
			others like that, and they
conflate the MATA to blame Islam.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:43
			And then they bring certain verses
and read it in that sense, I've
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			seen that so many times.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:49
			A lot of them speak as if they're
rationalists, that they, they have
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:53
			a rational approach that look,
this is what it says I follow a
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			rational approach, I follow a very
intellectual approach, an
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:00
			intellectual, rational academic
approach would mean that you see
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			what the response is from the
other side, but they don't really,
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:06
			they don't look at the Islamic
response. Okay, they might have
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09
			gone to the local imam or
something, or may have not been
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:12
			very articulate to explain the
situation to them. So they think
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			that's it, that is the Islamic way
of doing things. They're not
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:18
			they're not willing to look at the
other side. So it's totally unfair
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:18
			anyway.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20
			So
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:25
			of course, that's Allah saying,
you don't make the difference. But
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:29
			of course, I mean, sometimes these
are our own people that we'd
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:32
			rather try to bring them back. So
it's not like we give up and just
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:36
			say, Hey, get out of here. You
know, I mean, unless the person
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:39
			sometimes they just have very a
lot of animosity, then you just
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:43
			have to leave them sometimes. But
anyway, this is it, this is it.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:47
			And people with that little belief
inside will come back when they
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:50
			hear this usually, right,
eventually, when they know the
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:55
			truth, a lot of the time, the
truth is just subdued. It's just
		
00:11:55 --> 00:12:00
			veiled. Something else is just at
the forefront of your mind. But
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:03
			deep down, you know it all along.
I mean, we experienced this in
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			multiple issues, you know, deep
down, it just takes a while for
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:12
			the person to be courageous enough
to cut through all of the clouds.
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:16
			And to come into daylight. It just
takes time sometimes. But it is
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:22
			mostly always based on ignorance,
and some kind of
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:25
			disenfranchisement, abuso
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:31
			absence of compassion, usually,
that's what it is, love is missing
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32
			somewhere.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:36
			So that's why this is very, very
relevant for us as well, in that
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:41
			sense. The point of a lecture is
to encourage people to act to get
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:47
			further an inspiration, and
encouragement, persuasion. The
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:50
			next step is to actually start
learning seriously, to read books
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:54
			to take on a subject of Islam and
to understand all the subjects of
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:58
			Islam at least at the basic level,
so that we can become more aware
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:02
			of what our deen wants from us.
And that's why we started Rayyan
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:07
			courses, so that you can actually
take organize lectures on demand
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			whenever you have free time,
especially for example, the
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13
			Islamic essentials course that we
have on there, the Islamic
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:18
			essentials certificate which you
take 20 Short modules, and at the
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:23
			end of that insha Allah you will
have gotten the basics of most of
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			the most important topics in Islam
and you will feel a lot more
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:29
			confident. You don't have to leave
lectures behind you can continue
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:32
