Allah subhanaw taala Surah Nisa one verse 133. In Russia you they
become a Johan Suwa TBR hurry. So it's not just in one verse Allah
is warning about this and telling us about this is the third verse.
If Allah wills he can remove you, take you away, oh people and bring
another group.
Then Allah says in surah two Ibrahim verse 1920 in Russia youth
Hey welcome via TV Harlequin Jedi on Lika Isla Allah He bi z is, in
fact in this one is saying, if Allah wills he can replace you he
can take you away, remove you and bring a whole new creation. That's
not difficult. Forget about bringing just new humans like a
different group of people. He can bring a totally new creation
because he's done it this way for his own wisdom.
Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala
Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa barakato a cell limit
asleep and Cathy Yan Illa Yomi Dean Amma beret
so covering some of the most important and prominent gems of
the Quran,
some of the Jawaharlal Quran, this is verse of Surah tilma either
verse 54 to 56
or older bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim Bismillah R Rahman r
Rahim.
Yeah,
you Hello Rena Manu me Alta de mujer que mais de fer so if i
Atilla will be combing your hair boom, while your head buena.
They let in Ireland, Mina is that in Ireland? Fiorina Yuja he do
Nafisa we didn't. He was your hall for another woman.
In the Nika law he de mi
Allah who is zero 90.
In Wali, you como law who also do who Lavina Am I know Lavina up
Munna sada where you tune as to whom rocky rune were me at law her
or Sudha, who will levena Manu in his law, he humo Laurie boo.
So I'll just translate that for us so that we understand what these
verses are saying, Oh, you who have believed, whoever Have you
should revert from his religion,
then Allah will bring forth in place of them a people
that he will love, and who will love him
who are humble towards the believers, this is their
characteristics now powerful against the disbelievers.
They strive in the Cause of Allah, and do not fear the blame of a
critic.
That is the favor of Allah He bestows it upon whom He wills. And
Allah is all encompassing. And knowing
your ally is none but Allah.
And thus his messenger and those who have believed, meaning those
who establish pray and gives the car and then they bow in worship.
And whoever is an ally of Allah and His Messenger, and those who
have believed, indeed, the party of Allah, they will be the
Victoria. So the predominant ones, very, very powerful verses, and I
think we need to be reminded them reminded of them every now and
then. And the reason for that is
when we're living in such confusing times, with a lot of
challenging ideologies, campaigns, actually to mislead. And not just
in the Western world, but in the Muslim world as well. Lots of
confusion ensues, lots of problems, lots of challenges,
questions that arise. This sets it all back and says, look, it's up
to you. What do you want, Allah doesn't need you if
you want to go somewhere else. If you don't want to be associated
and an ally to Allah subhanaw taala Well, Allah doesn't really
need you. You're not really helping and assisting because
Allah is independent. And Allah subhanaw taala has, he will bring
somebody else they will always somebody, they'll there'll be
somebody. So Allah will bring someone else if you don't fit that
bill and you don't qualify and you don't want to qualify then Allah
will just bring somebody else Allah is not in need of anybody in
particular
So, the background of this verse to understand when it was revealed
why it was revealed, however, it might have been revealed about a
certain incident. It doesn't mean it has to be restricted to that
incident. And there's a general message that we're timeless
message of it that we're receiving today. So what Allah subhanaw
taala is saying here is, he is essentially revealing his quadra,
Alavi Ma is immense power, like I can do what I want.
And then saying that with my immense power, through my event,
immense power, anybody who wants to take up the responsibility of
assisting the dean and establishing the Sharia and, and
giving the Dawa and helping people and assisting people to bring them
on the right track.
If there's somebody
who wants to turn away from that, that's fine Allah subhanaw taala
will bring a much better people.
So not even the same kind of people but better people.
In all of this, there's subtle rhetoric, he'll bring better
people than you that already makes you feel bad like a you know, and
people with much more strength people with much more power, much
more grit much more Iman and strength in that and Acoma,
sebelah. And people on a much straighter path. Allah subhanho wa
Taala says in Surah to Mohamed which is a very, very powerful
verse I just always when you read surah to Mohammed which in another
verse is called suitable title. It's just starts off a Lavina
kifaru was subdue, and Sabine Allah He Ebola atma LA home and it
just sets the tone right from there. It's a very, very majestic
Surah right. Next time when you read it, read it, you know, focus,
focus on the translation. So in there ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada says,
we're in data well, lo Yes, Debbie Daniel Coleman. Hi Eurocom muda

if you turn back, Allah will just replace you with another people,
and they won't be like you then
they won't be like you they won't be weak like you. Allah subhanaw
taala says Surah Nisa one verse 133. In Russia, you they become a
Johan Suwa TBR hurry. So it's not just in one verse, Allah is
warning about this and telling us about this is the third verse. If
Allah wills he can remove you, take you away old people, and
bring another group.
Then Allah says in surah two Ibrahim, verse 1920 in Russia
youth Hey welcome Wyatt TV Harlequin Jedi. Amen Alma rica
Allah Allah He bi z is, in fact in this one is saying, if Allah
wills, He can replace you, he can take you away, remove you, and
bring a whole new creation. That's not difficult. Forget about
bringing just new humans, like a different group of people. He can
bring a totally new creation, because he's done it this way for
his own wisdom. And we can't question that wisdom because we're
part of that wisdom. So how can you question the wisdom when we're
actually just one of the pawns in that, you know, in the grand
scheme, right, and we're trying to make a change, you know, to the
scheme. Well, the scheme what control do we have to be honest?
So Allah subhanaw taala and what my daddy got Adela he'd be busy,
this is not difficult or burdensome at all on Allah, He can
do it just like that.
Then Allah Subhana Allah so Allah subhanho wa Taala says here in the
first verse, first part of this verse is old people who believe
or people who believe those of you who turn away from the deen
meaning turning away from rightness, correctness and truth
to the battle and the falsehood. The Mohammed ignore cam said that
this was revealed regarding some of the leaders of the Quraysh.
Because there was some discussion going there, maybe they were in
Islam, half their half, not mana, 15, etc. This whole discussion at
that time was very relevant. People were coming into Islam, but
not fully then they were turning away, they will be misled
sometimes or had other reasons for turning away. So Allah is warning
them, we're not going to harm us.
Now, we don't want to take that attitude that we've got people
today why it's so relevant today. We got people here, religious
families, and they are having doubts in their religion, meaning
some of the children, some of the youth, some adults sometimes as
well, they're having doubts in their religion. Look when you the
simple thing is this way, it's not because of the Islam doesn't have
its power and so on. It's just the misunderstood it's just ignorance
of Islam. They've hardly spent any time on it.
A lot of the people I've spoken to who have
a plasticized, or are in dealt now or consider themselves to be,
whether atheist or agnostics or whatever, a lot of the time when I
asked them, have you read this? And have you read that, and know,
something's bothered them, somebody has bothered them.
Usually, it's not Islam that's bothered me, it's usually some
Muslim who's bothered them, either their parents or their teacher, or
some friend or some abuse or something. So now, they go looking
for assistance, they go looking for some comforts. And there's
others like that, and they conflate the MATA to blame Islam.
And then they bring certain verses and read it in that sense, I've
seen that so many times.
A lot of them speak as if they're rationalists, that they, they have
a rational approach that look, this is what it says I follow a
rational approach, I follow a very intellectual approach, an
intellectual, rational academic approach would mean that you see
what the response is from the other side, but they don't really,
they don't look at the Islamic response. Okay, they might have
gone to the local imam or something, or may have not been
very articulate to explain the situation to them. So they think
that's it, that is the Islamic way of doing things. They're not
they're not willing to look at the other side. So it's totally unfair
anyway.
So
of course, that's Allah saying, you don't make the difference. But
of course, I mean, sometimes these are our own people that we'd
rather try to bring them back. So it's not like we give up and just
say, Hey, get out of here. You know, I mean, unless the person
sometimes they just have very a lot of animosity, then you just
have to leave them sometimes. But anyway, this is it, this is it.
And people with that little belief inside will come back when they
hear this usually, right, eventually, when they know the
truth, a lot of the time, the truth is just subdued. It's just
veiled. Something else is just at the forefront of your mind. But
deep down, you know it all along. I mean, we experienced this in
multiple issues, you know, deep down, it just takes a while for
the person to be courageous enough to cut through all of the clouds.
And to come into daylight. It just takes time sometimes. But it is
mostly always based on ignorance, and some kind of
disenfranchisement, abuso
absence of compassion, usually, that's what it is, love is missing
somewhere.
So that's why this is very, very relevant for us as well, in that
sense. The point of a lecture is to encourage people to act to get
further an inspiration, and encouragement, persuasion. The
next step is to actually start learning seriously, to read books
to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of
Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware
of what our deen wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan
courses, so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand
whenever you have free time, especially for example, the
Islamic essentials course that we have on there, the Islamic
essentials certificate which you take 20 Short modules, and at the
end of that insha Allah you will have gotten the basics of most of
the most important topics in Islam and you will feel a lot more
confident. You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue
to live, you know to listen to lectures, but you need to have
this more sustained study as well as local law here and Salam
aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
