The transcript also touches on the importance of the Bible and its use to establish rules and laws in the world, as well as the benefits of going to a gathering for brochures and learning to become more confident in understanding everything in Islam.

00:00:06 --> 00:00:10
			wa sahbihi wa zahraka wasallama tasliman kathiran ila
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			yawmid deen amma ba'd we'll inshallah complete the
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			surah ar-Rahman, today we have the last
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:20
			section left we also promised that we'd be
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:27
			discussing the women's place in paradise because this
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			last section of surah ar-Rahman the last
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:36
			number of verses speak about how a man
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			will fare in jannah, so in this regard
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala from verse 70
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			he speaks about the second jannah, the second
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			paradise and within that Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:55
			'ala says fihina khairatun hisam fabi ayi ala
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:01
			irabbikuma tukadhiban fihina khairatun hisam fabi ayi ala
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			irabbikuma tukadhiban hurum maqsooratun fil khiyam fabi ayi
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:10
			ala irabbikuma tukadhiban lam yatmithun insun qablahum wala
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:14
			jaan fabi ayi ala irabbikuma tukadhiban Allah subhanahu
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:18
			wa ta'ala says in them there will
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:27
			be women good and gorgeous literally translated fihina
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:33
			khairatun hisam khairatun hisam khairat those who do
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:38
			good things hisam those who are gorgeous, beautiful
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			so which of the bounties of your lord
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			will you deny then the next verse says
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:48
			the huris kept guarded in pavilions so which
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			of the bounties of your lord will you
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54
			deny whom neither a man may have touched
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			before them nor a jinn so which of
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			the bounties of your lord will you deny
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			the people of these gardens will be reclining
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:05
			on green cushions and marvelous beautiful mattresses so
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			which of the bounties of your lord will
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:09
			you deny glorious is the name of your
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			lord the lord of majesty and the lord
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			of honor khairatun hisam fihina khairatun hisam khairat
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:20
			hisam two words that's how Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			ta'ala is describing the women the maidens
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			of the second paradise or the second type
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:31
			of paradise and in that regard what that
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:36
			means is khairat also refers to salihat which
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			means pious and righteous pious and righteous and
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:43
			thus their attention is confined to that which
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala orders them to
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			a person who is pious in this world
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:51
			will not be playing around doing the wrong
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:55
			things and thus what is understood here is
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			that they are salihat, they are pious they
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02
			are righteous and the next one karimatul akhlaq
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:08
			absolutely sublime in character beautiful character somebody with
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			good character will never upset you they will
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			deal with you in the best of ways
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:17
			and if that's your partner for bliss for
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			endless bliss then can you imagine the added
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			pleasure to that, somebody gives you comfort good
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			akhlaq, good character deal with you with good
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			conduct so which of the bounties of your
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			lord will you deny, then the word hurun
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:34
			maqsooratun fil khiyam where it describes these beautiful
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:38
			creatures these maidens who have great akhlaq they're
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:43
			pious, they're righteous, they're gorgeous hurun maqsooratun fil
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			khiyam, so what does the word hurun mean
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			I mean this is the word you speak
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			about men always speak about hur hur hur
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			right, so what does exactly hur mean right,
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			hur is actually the plural of ahwar or
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:59
			hawra, masculine or feminine technically or literally speaking
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:04
			it means somebody with extremely black pupils in
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08
			the eyes and extremely white surrounding so, or
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:13
			very large black pupils of the eyes some
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			have said that this is very similar to
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18
			if you see the eyes of a deer
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			the eyes of a deer, that describes it,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			but clearly that no human in the world
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			has an eye like a deer in poetry
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:31
			they describe the neck of certain women when
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			they're describing in this you know, the weird
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			Arabic poetry they say they say like the
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:43
			neck of the gazelle the deer so in
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			that sense there may be a closer similarity
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:49
			but what the lexicographers the people who discuss
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			words and their meanings they're saying that no
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55
			human has these kind of eyes in this
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			world they're very charming, it's a very specific
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			kind of very, it holds great beauty but
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			that is what you'll get in the hereafter,
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05
			so hur is not a person hur is
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			not a woman hurun is just a description
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			of this woman or the maiden that a
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:14
			person will get inshallah in paradise so get
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:18
			that right so hurun, hurul een in another
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			place it's more specific een, as in eyes
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			whiteness of the eyes it's talking about an
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:29
			absolute pure whiteness and a pure blackness great
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:34
			clarity very sharp very beautiful some have said
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			that it doesn't refer just to that, when
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			it comes to women it has to refer
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:43
			to the darkness of the parts of the
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			eye that are black the absolute whiteness of
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			the parts of the eye that is white
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			so there's no reddish or anything, it's just
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:56
			absolutely clear and a bright whitish complexion so
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			hurun refers to bidun which means white one
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:02
			of the wives of Rasulullah asked the Prophet
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			for the meaning of some of these terms
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			of this surah as well and for that
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			he described it as whiteness of the eyes,
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			and the darkness of the eyes that's why
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			he said it speaks about the eyes so
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:20
			that's hurun but maqsooratun fil khiyam maqsoorat, qasara
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			means to restrict something, maqsoorat means restricted or
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:27
			confined fil khiyam normally khiyam is the plural
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:35
			of khayma khayma is like a tent a
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			native Indian teepee as they call it, when
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			you put three things up, three pillars up
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			it could be any contraption of that nature
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			that provides some kind of shelter khiyam, however
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			the ulema say that here it doesn't refer
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			to that kind of it doesn't refer to
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:56
			a tent this is not Libya and Qadhafi
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			or some rich tent it doesn't necessarily refer
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:04
			to that allama alusi, the great Iraqi mufassir,
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			he says wal khiyam huna buyutun min lu
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			'lu, if this is a tent it's made
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			of lu'lu, it's made of pearls, it's
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:16
			not a tent of cloth, haphazardly put together,
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:21
			this is something serious, this is a dwelling
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:26
			that is made of of lu'lu, which
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			means of pearl and as a narration in
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:33
			Ibn Abi Shaybah and others, relates from Ibn
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:37
			Abbas that it will be made from a
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:42
			single, a single pearl, of that size huge
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			size that will be hollowed out arba'atu
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:49
			farasekh, four furlongs in length, we're not even
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			speaking about a small cubicle right, we're speaking
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:57
			about something huge, four furlongs in length and
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:01
			it will have four thousand aspects of gold
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:06
			in there as well another other commentator, other
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			compilers of hadith have related from Abu Darda
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:13
			radiallahu anhu that this khaymah this dwelling will
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			be made of a single one it will
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:20
			have seventy seventy doors to be able to
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			enter it, so you can imagine if you
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			have seventy doors into something, it's going to
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:27
			be huge Imam Bukhari and Muslim those ahadith
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			were more obscure narrations but Imam Bukhari and
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:33
			Imam Muslim and Imam Tirmidhi, they relate from
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			Abu Musa al-Ash'ari radiallahu anhu a
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			description of this, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:42
			sallam said al-khaymatu durratun mujawwaf that this
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:46
			khaymah that we're speaking about here, specifically is
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:53
			of a hollowed out pearl its length its
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:58
			height into the heavens into the upward direction
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:07
			is sixty miles and
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			in every corner of it if it's that
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12
			long, that high in every corner of it
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:17
			it seems like there will be separate areas
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:21
			within it for the believer there will be
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:26
			spouse their spouses who nobody else will be
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			able to see the only person that will
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			be able to enter this is the inhabitant
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			of that paradise who it's made for that's
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			why when we we don't have time to
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:42
			go into the great variety of narrations on
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:46
			this subject but there are numerous narrations about
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			the number, I know this was made very
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:54
			popular a discussion ensued after 9-11 because
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			there was this discussion somebody brought up about
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:01
			the 9-11 bombers or whatever allahu alam,
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			whatever the story was but about the 70
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			huris of paradise, the 70 maidens of paradise,
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:12
			that's one narration 70, 72 300, there's numerous
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:16
			narrations about this we'll cover some of them
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			just to get an understanding because it's out
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:21
			there it's a discussion that needs to be
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			that needs to be had so these are
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:27
			hur, these are these black and clear eyed,
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:34
			beautifully embellished eyes maidens that are in these
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:38
			specific dwellings made out of pearls so which
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			of the bounties of your lord will you
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:40
			deny?
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			no human, no jinn has ever touched them
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:53
			before absolutely pure and virgin which of the
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:56
			bounties of your lord will you deny?
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			and they will be given sorry, they will
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:06
			be reclining on ruff ruff in khudrin on
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:12
			green cushions ruff ruff in khudrin, green cushions
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:21
			and abqari in hisan beautiful mattresses or seats
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:26
			that are like the abqari, abqari is a
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			place in Yemen, they used to make very
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:32
			beautiful cloth so it's trying to say that
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:36
			it's got this beautiful closed mattresses that they
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			will be reclining on, but if you notice
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:43
			the description for the paradise here is not
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46
			as specific and as enriched it's rich but
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:49
			relatively speaking in the previous one, in the
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:53
			previous one it says batainuha min istabarak that
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:57
			these what they will recline on just the
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:02
			inner lining of it will be made of
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:08
			thick silken brocade, so imagine what the top
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11
			side will be made of here it said
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:14
			green ones which obviously will not be inferior
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			compared to the world, it will be beyond
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			anything we can think of in this world
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			but that was the comparison, and next time
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			you read surah ar-rahman you can compare
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:25
			the two now, all of these maidens for
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:26
			men, I mean still the discussion is on
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			men yet the discussion is still about men
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:34
			we'll explain why the main thing here is
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			that all of these maidens what can you
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39
			do in one day you know I'm going
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:44
			to speak in allusion because I don't want
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45
			to take people out of the room again
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:49
			like last week or tell children to leave
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			the room but what are you going to
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54
			do with so many even if it's 70
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			along with the wives of the world that
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:00
			you have, and I say wives and I'll
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			explain why and the women who are listening
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:06
			need not get scared need not become frightened
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			and I'll explain why later but the main
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			thing is this that the power that a
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			human will be given in paradise will be
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			a lot more than here subhanallah in the
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:20
			world historically documented these Nawabs of India you
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			know when the subcontinent was at its peak
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:25
			they used to have Hakeems these Unani, old
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:31
			Greek medicine doctors, they used to mix for
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:36
			them these different concoctions of literally gold and
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			silver not, not parts of gold and silver
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:46
			amber, ambergris, musk and for strength I'd heard
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:50
			about these things then I read recently that
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			there was a king in France, King Louis
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:57
			the 11th or something three times a day
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01
			every day three times a day I was
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:04
			just like wow busy in his activity, three
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			times a day he would go, and he'd
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:09
			be in a haste and we don't want
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			to speak about the rest of the details
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			but if that's the world, three times a
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			day I mean Jannah, can you imagine it
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:19
			I think that's enough there the discussion is
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			supposed to be something else I don't know,
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:24
			you guys think you're lucky now the question
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:28
			is that these entire two pages here, these
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:30
			number of verses here, they all speak about
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:34
			the man's paradise, where's the woman's paradise so
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			that's the question that I asked last week
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:42
			firstly the Prophet ﷺ said, famous hadith إذا
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:49
			صلت المرأة خمسها وصامت شهرها وحصنت فرجها وآطاعت
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:53
			زوجها قيل لها أدخل الجنة من أي أبواب
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:59
			الجنة شد if a woman prays her five
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:05
			daily prayers fasts her month of Ramadan protects
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:09
			her chastity and obeys her husband it will
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:12
			be said to her, enter into paradise from
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:16
			whichever door of paradise you would like so
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:19
			they're clearly going into paradise and that's all
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:22
			they have to do, now a few other
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:26
			things if you take a young kid right,
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:28
			take a nine year old girl and a
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:31
			nine year old boy let them go into
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:36
			the father's and the mother's bedroom right in
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			the bedroom you've got the bed you've got
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:42
			the clothing you've got the mother's perfumes and
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:46
			makeup on the dresser, it's all out there,
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			they're normally not allowed to go in there,
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:49
			this time they're allowed to go in there
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			what is the boy going to do?
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			and where is the girl going to go?
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			the boy he may go and jump up
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			and down on the bed a few times
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			hey, this is nice, nice bed you know,
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:01
			big bed, let me jump up and down
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			like a trampoline or something is he going
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			to go into the clothes and start wearing
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:05
			clothes?
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			let me try this on is he going
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:09
			to go and try the makeup on?
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11
			the girl, the thing she's going to want
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12
			to do is go and try the makeup
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:15
			on the adornment is just so natural for
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:18
			them that's something that is made very close
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:22
			to women firstly, just keep that in mind,
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:27
			that's just an understanding number two from a
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:32
			normal worldly perspective the woman is sought after
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:36
			while the man is the seeker whether it
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39
			comes whether it's to do with marriage normally
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:42
			it's the man that proposes, although the woman
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:46
			can propose but normally whether it be in
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:50
			illicit relationships or in legal relationships and pious
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:53
			relationships normally the man is the seeker and
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:56
			the woman is the sought one yes, I
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			do understand that in some cases, things turn
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:02
			around those are exceptions but in the normal
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:07
			case this is what happens number three men
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:15
			are visual men are very visually motivated that's
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:19
			something the man, women not as much, according
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:22
			to some research, they are more into sense
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			and touch but men, it's visual for them
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:28
			I don't want to expand more on that
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:32
			but that aspect is exploited in our societies
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			today Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned it
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:40
			this way because a woman's attraction to men
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:43
			is not as great as a man's attraction
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:47
			to women look, I know there's exceptions but
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50
			this is the general state the attraction a
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:54
			man has towards a woman is serious what
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:57
			a woman has towards a man is nothing,
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			compared to what a man in general has
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:03
			towards women that's why the prophet said I
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:12
			did not send I did not leave after
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:16
			me any fitnah, trial test, tribulation that is
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:21
			more harmful to men than women the women
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:25
			are intrinsically not a problematic creature they're as
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			pure as a man is but for a
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:31
			man in an illicit situation, they are a
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:34
			fitnah for them, so it's a very specific
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:37
			fitnah we're speaking about just like men are
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:40
			fitnah in a particular aspect Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:43
			ta'ala doesn't consider it and neither is
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:47
			it as important for Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:51
			'ala to encourage, to give encouragement to women
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			by mentioning men, that you're gonna be with
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			a man in paradise, they're gonna look like
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:00
			this it's not mentioned, because that's not a
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			big deal for them, they have other things
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04
			which are more important for them whereas for
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07
			men, the most important thing unfortunately, fortunately, however
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:10
			you wanna see it, is women and thus
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:13
			the description is given as a form of
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:19
			encouragement the other thing is in terms of
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:24
			modesty, when it comes to sexuality the woman's
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:27
			modesty is a lot more greater than that
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:32
			of a man and that's why Allah subhanahu
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			wa ta'ala keeping that into consideration as
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:37
			well the woman's aspect is not mentioned as
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			much as is the man's aspect towards the
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:42
			women what is then the attraction for women
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:45
			then and although this is what some of
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:49
			the ulema have written, this, you could speak
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			to five women in your family, and you
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			could probably work this out yourself, because this
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			is something that we did a while back
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			what is it that a woman loves most
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00
			what is it that drives a woman ultimate
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			bliss, what is it for a man, it's
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:07
			having two, three, four you know, if they
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:10
			can but for a woman, what is it
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			you know, whether you do it legally or
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:15
			subhanallah, it's just it's a problem, you know
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			don't legitimize it, but people are doing it
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:23
			we're talking about polygamy there's nobody to fight
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			for it, there is people to fight for
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:29
			homosexuality whereas from a purely legal sense there
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:33
			are more arguments for the validity and for
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35
			legalization of polygamy than there is for homosexuality
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:38
			but we don't have a stone wall straight
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:44
			wall, multiple wall foundation that, I mean stone
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:47
			wall, la'anahu Allah la'anahu Allah it's
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			a what they've been able to achieve is
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:52
			quite amazing but that's what it is, from
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			the legal experts this is what they say
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:58
			but that's another story let's stay focused here
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:12
			so for a woman because
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says so in
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:22
			the Quran that her attraction towards adornment beauty,
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:28
			embellishment whether that is of jewelry whether that's
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:33
			of beauty clothing, subhanallah is a lot more
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:36
			than her attraction towards the man, look there
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:39
			are exceptions as I keep saying don't put
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:43
			the exceptions in your mind this is the
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			general understanding, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:58
			that means hilya means adornments these jewelry and
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			other forms of adornments that adorn a woman
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:03
			that's what they have been kind of natured
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			on, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says that
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:08
			in the Quran just because Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:11
			ta'ala didn't mention husbands spouses for women
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			doesn't mean that they're not going to have
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:17
			any they will have because men are to
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			have spouses where are they going to come
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:24
			from it's not just about heavenly maidens so
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:29
			let's understand the different possibilities here okay when
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:32
			a woman dies from this world she's going
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:36
			to be in one of these states right
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			either a woman when she dies she's going
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:39
			to be single, she may have died young
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42
			she may have not got married okay that's
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			number one, number two she may have died
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:48
			single but after a divorce so she was
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			married then she was divorced she didn't marry
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:55
			anybody else she passed away before then thirdly
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:56
			what is the state of the one who
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:01
			is married but unfortunately her husband is not
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:04
			in paradise with her for some reason he's
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			in * fire so what's going to happen
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:10
			with her number four it's a woman who
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			passes away after her husband passes away so
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:16
			she's single but she wasn't divorced her husband
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:19
			had passed away earlier so she's different than
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:22
			the others but it's still another possibility the
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:26
			fifth possibility is that her husband passed away
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:29
			and she married somebody else afterwards she married
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:31
			somebody else so now she has two husbands
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:34
			literally speaking the first one didn't divorce, the
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:37
			first one just died then there's a sixth
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			possibility which is that she died before the
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			husband so she was married, she died before
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:45
			the husband so now let's look at what's
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:47
			going to be the circumstance for each one
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:51
			of these women as far as the woman
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:54
			who died before she even got married Allah
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			subhanahu wa ta'ala is going to have
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:59
			her marry in paradise with a bachelor of
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:01
			this world that gets to paradise as well
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:03
			there's going to be bachelors there's going to
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:05
			be men who've never been married in this
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:06
			world they need to get married as well
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:10
			and we'll describe if you look at the
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:14
			various different ahadith if you combine them all
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:18
			together as Ibn Hajar Al Asqalani and Mubarak
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:20
			Puri, Mulla Ali Al Qari Iraqi and all
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:23
			of these have done they've discovered that among
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			all of the ahadith the minimum that a
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:29
			person is going to get is two women
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:34
			as wives of this world and the others,
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:35
			the 70 or so are going to be
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:39
			the maidens of the hereafter two women, two
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:43
			worldly women and 70 or more maidens of
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:49
			jannah, heavenly women as such that's what the
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:52
			ahadith mentioned so if you look at the
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:56
			woman who dies without a husband without getting
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			married, there's going to be men that she
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00
			will be able to choose from how that
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			choice will be Allah knows best but believe
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			me it's paradise so the choice will be
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:08
			great and you'll have good choice because every
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:09
			man who gets to paradise is going to
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:13
			be great probably be spoilt for choice because
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:16
			the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said ma fil
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:19
			jannati a'zab in a hadith of Muslim
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said that in jannah
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			there will be no single there will be
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:26
			no single person you have to be married
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:27
			in paradise, you can't go around like a
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:30
			bachelor so Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:33
			have her marry somebody that will bring coolness
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:36
			to her eyes in the hereafter the second
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:39
			one which was the one who died after
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:40
			her divorce, then she's just like a single
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:43
			person anyway because she's got no connection with
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			her first husband, he divorced her right, she
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			was divorced, so she's going to be the
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49
			same as this first person, she's going to
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:53
			marry somebody else likewise the third person, the
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:57
			third one, which was that poor woman, she's
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:00
			got married but her husband doesn't make it
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			to paradise, may Allah protect us the husband
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04
			doesn't make it to paradise she's singly there
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:06
			in jannah she's obviously going to be married
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:11
			to somebody else the one whose husband passed
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:15
			away before her well, she's going to reconcile
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:17
			with her husband in paradise because she didn't
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:20
			marry anybody else as long as she didn't
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			marry anybody else she's going to be with
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:25
			this husband in paradise the wives of Rasulullah
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:29
			did not marry anybody else afterwards, and thus
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:32
			they will be with the Prophet in paradise
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			what would I advise a woman like that
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			in the world today who loves her husband
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:39
			but her husband has passed away and she's
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:40
			still young, what should she do?
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			it's up to her if she wants to
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:46
			stay single so that she could be with
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			this husband in paradise, she can do that
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:50
			if she wants, she can make dua to
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:53
			Allah Allah will give her somebody maybe even
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:57
			better the Umm Salama the wife of Rasulullah
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:01
			she was told that you'd get a better
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:04
			husband Hafsa was told you'd get a better
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:12
			husband and they got the Prophet so getting
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:13
			a better husband is possible but that's up
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			to them that's a decision that they have
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			to make I don't think it's fair for
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			a man who's about to die to say
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:22
			to her I don't know, subhanAllah that would
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:24
			be a dilemma imagine a man is about
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:26
			to die, he's got a wife don't get
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:30
			married after me I mean women don't need
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:33
			marriage as much as men do especially if
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:37
			they have children okay, number five which is
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:40
			both the one who died after they got
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:43
			both the one in which the woman died
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45
			first then she's going to be for that
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:49
			husband even though he has another wife because
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:50
			a man will be with all of his
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:53
			wives in paradise and even if her husband
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			died beforehand she did not get married, then
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			she would also be with the same husband
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:00
			in paradise and the sixth one, which is
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			the one, this one's a bit more complicated
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:07
			the one whose husband passed away on good
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:10
			terms, passed away then she got married to
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:14
			someone else and maybe she maybe he even
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			passed away and she married a third person
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:18
			and that's possible, that's happened who will they
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:19
			be for?
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:21
			now the hadith there is one of the
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:25
			wives of Rasulullah ﷺ she asked Prophet ﷺ
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:29
			about these things so he said المرأة لآخر
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:33
			أزواجها according to this hadith, the woman will
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:36
			be for her last husband والله عالم if
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:37
			this refers to only when she has two
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:41
			husbands she'll be for the last husband and
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			the first husband feels bad, Allah will give
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:45
			him something better it's Jannah at the end
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			of the day so you don't have to
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:50
			worry about it afterwards however in another hadith
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:53
			it says that she will be given, she
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:56
			will be the wife of the one of
		
00:28:56 --> 00:29:00
			them who had the best of character أحسنهم
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:04
			أخلاقا and that's why the Prophet ﷺ said
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:08
			and the hadith says قلت يا رسول الله
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:13
			this is the wife of Rasulullah ﷺ asking
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:17
			the Prophet ﷺ أم السلمة that يا رسول
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:23
			الله المرأة منا تتزوج الزوجين أو ثلاثة والأربعة
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:31
			ثم تموت فتدخل الجنة ويدخلون معها من يكون
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:34
			زوجها she might have been married to one,
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			two, three or four and they've all died
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:39
			they go into paradise she goes into paradise,
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:42
			which one is going to be the husband
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:46
			of that woman قال يا أم السلمة إنها
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:51
			تخير she will be given a choice but
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:52
			the question is who is she going to
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:56
			choose the most beautiful one everybody's going to
		
00:29:56 --> 00:30:00
			have beauty in paradise strongest one everybody's going
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			to have strength in paradise what's going to
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:10
			count in paradise فتخير فتختار أحسنهم أحسنهم خلقا
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:12
			she's going to choose the best of the
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:16
			character the one with the best character so
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:19
			she said فتقول يا رب إن هذا كان
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			أحسنهم معي خلقا في دار الدنيا actually this
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:23
			is the woman in paradise she'll say to
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:25
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that this one
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:27
			of them was the best to me in
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:32
			character in dunya so فزوجنيه marry me to
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:36
			him يا أم سلمة and the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:42
			said Oh أم سلمة ذهب حسن الخلق بخير
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:47
			الدنيا والآخرة بخير الدنيا والآخرة good character has
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:50
			taken meaning has won both in the world
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:54
			and hereafter with the goodness so be of
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:58
			good character then you're safe so that's the
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:01
			different types of women and how they will
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:04
			fare in paradise a few other points to
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:09
			make here there's a hadith there's a dua
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:12
			actually we're told to make when a woman
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:17
			dies you say وَأَبْدِلْهَا زَوْجًا خَيْرًا مِّن زَوْجِهَا
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			the dua you make is Oh Allah and
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:25
			and replace for her a husband that is
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:28
			better than her husband right so what are
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:31
			we asking for here when she goes to
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:34
			paradise or the hereafter give her a better
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:36
			husband so are we asking for somebody else
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38
			if a woman is for her own husband
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:40
			and a man is going to get his
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:42
			own wife in paradise then what is he
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:45
			speaking about another one so there's various ways
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:48
			to understand this it doesn't it's not as
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:51
			it seems now if a woman is obviously
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:54
			married if a woman is married because you
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:56
			could do this dua for any woman it's
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:58
			just a kind of standard dua you do
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:02
			but if the woman is married then she'll
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:05
			get her husband but he will be a
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:07
			lot better than he is in paradise than
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:10
			he is in the world with her so
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:12
			he will be increased and enhanced in his
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:14
			character and in his attitude and in his
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:17
			beauty and in his handsomeness and generosity and
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:20
			everything else that there is so he's asking
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:22
			for the same husband so the husbands needn't
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:26
			worry about this they'll be given the same
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:28
			husband but in a better shape that's why
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:33
			Allah says when the earth will be changed
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			to another earth it's going to be the
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:36
			same earth but it's just going to be
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:38
			different in shape it's just going to be
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:39
			flat now there's not going to be any
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:42
			hills or any mountains in it so it's
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:43
			the same thing that's what Allah s.w
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:47
			.t so it's just a quantitative change sorry
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:50
			a qualitative change not a whole different person
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:55
			just better quality now there's a hadith in
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:58
			which it says that every man will have
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:02
			at least two wives from the women of
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:03
			this world so even if he's got one
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:06
			wife here he will be married to another
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:09
			woman in paradise, another human another woman of
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:16
			the world somebody who's not married the question
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:19
			that arises then if for every man you've
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:22
			got two women of the world and then
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:24
			I mean we're not even speaking about the
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:26
			heavenly women we're speaking about just the worldly
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:30
			women the Prophet s.a.w. said in
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:34
			a sahih hadith that I have seen he
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:36
			exhorted the women and he said that you
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:39
			make sadaqah do good deeds because I've seen
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:42
			the majority of the inhabitants of the hellfire
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:45
			to be women so if that's the case
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:48
			then we're talking about two to one here
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:51
			in paradise so how does that work out
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:54
			right, we don't have time to go into
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:56
			each individual narration but the conclusion is this,
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:59
			Ibn Hajar, Asqalani Iraqi, all of these great
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:01
			scholars they've discussed this and the conclusion is
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:06
			this that we don't know when it says
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:08
			that they will be the majority of the
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
			inhabitants of hellfire that could be in the
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:14
			beginning, you've got mu'minat, believing men and women
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:16
			who will be sent to the hellfire for
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:20
			their sins to be cleansed of them to
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:23
			be purified, so initially they will be the
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:25
			majority but then eventually they'll go to paradise
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:28
			that's one opinion and thus they will become
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:33
			double, the men in paradise another opinion is
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:35
			that in general and this is supported by
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:39
			other narrations which say that progressively as we
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:41
			move towards the last day, eventually it will
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:44
			be one man for every 50 women that
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:48
			will be the statistic proportion, so whether there's
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:52
			enough in hellfire right, there will be sufficient
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:55
			in paradise as well so there will be
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:57
			many women in paradise and there will be
		
00:34:57 --> 00:35:00
			many women in hellfire, the lesson for women
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:04
			is and for men in general is try
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:07
			to get to paradise there's enough room there
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:11
			right, the quota isn't full yet there's enough
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:14
			room there, it's in your hands, so these
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:16
			hadith are not to make it depressing for
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:19
			people, it's just to mention a fact, but
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:22
			you are not guaranteed to be doomed so
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:24
			go on the right side no woman or
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:29
			man for that matter will enter paradise if
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:31
			they've been old in this world and haggard
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:37
			and disabled worn out totally wasted no, a
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:39
			woman came in this famous hadith, a woman
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:41
			came to Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, an old
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:44
			woman and the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said,
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:46
			old women are not going to enter paradise
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:49
			and she started crying the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:51
			Wasallam probably knew her or something, because the
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:52
			Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam wouldn't want to hurt
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:55
			somebody, this is probably somebody that he knew,
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:57
			Wallahu A'lam so when she started crying,
		
00:35:58 --> 00:35:59
			the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam consoled her that
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:02
			no, this is speaking about the fact that
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:04
			you won't be the way you are right
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:12
			now, you'll be young young and totally healthy
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:30
			and mature so it says that
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:33
			a woman will be replaced just like a
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:37
			man, with her youth and her virginity as
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:41
			well the virginity will also be replaced because
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:44
			the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, in paradise
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:48
			no old woman will enter and when Allah
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:51
			enters them into paradise he will change them
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:56
			into young virgins not 7, 8, 9, 10,
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:58
			15, 16 young virgins, Wallahu A'lam what
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:02
			that refers to another thing women will be
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:04
			now wondering, are these 70?
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:06
			maidens of Jannah?
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:07
			man, where are we going to stand a
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:07
			chance?
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:08
			70 of them?
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:10
			we're going to stand a chance against them?
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:11
			2 of us?
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:13
			what's going to happen?
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:16
			forget 2 of us, there's going to be
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:19
			1 of us because each women the co
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:22
			-wives are probably they're known in Arabic, the
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:25
			word for co-wives are Darrah Darrah from
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:28
			the word harm they're always looking for harm
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:31
			to each other because it's a competition there
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:33
			are exceptions to this but that's what the
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:35
			normal situation is they're probably wondering, how are
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:37
			we going to fare against 70?
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:40
			and we've seen their description I mean the
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:41
			Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam has mentioned the descriptions
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:45
			of the women of paradise the Hurs in
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:47
			the Quran, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam has
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:51
			mentioned in the Hadith ajeeb ajeeb descriptions if
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:52
			one of them was to look into the
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:56
			world if just the smell of one of
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:57
			them subhanAllah that it would smell the whole
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:02
			it would make the whole place fragrant ajeeb
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:05
			things like that that's a Hurs so the
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:07
			woman of the world is wondering what are
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:08
			we going to fare there?
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:12
			needn't worry clear a Hadith that you will
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:15
			be superior to them if that is their
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:18
			description you will be superior that the women
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:19
			of the world will be in paradise more
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:23
			beautiful than the Hurs by many times in
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:26
			view of their worship to Allah that's the
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:29
			main thing that yes, every woman that gets
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:31
			into paradise is going to be more beautiful
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:35
			on a basic level more beautiful than all
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:37
			the Hurs if that's the description of the
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:38
			Hurs the women of the world are going
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:41
			to be better but then how much better?
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:45
			that depends on your worship the more your
		
00:38:45 --> 00:38:48
			worship the more this will be your reward
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:53
			because beauty is just so important to women
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:55
			you know how important it is to women?
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:59
			they are so worried about their shape that
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:02
			you have then diseases like anorexia what is
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:03
			that related to?
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:04
			isn't that related to the same thing?
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:08
			the love of form the love of beauty,
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:12
			the love of attraction how I look young
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:17
			girls, 7, 11, 12 years old go into
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:21
			depression that then gives rise to crazy things
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:23
			when they grow up they have children, they
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:26
			have good careers but despite all of that
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:31
			despite all of that they will go and
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:34
			do things which even by society standards are
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:39
			totally illegal not illegal but repugnant, looked down
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:42
			upon just to give themselves they will go
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:48
			into the industry then there's these companies that
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:51
			are exploiting them and saying come for a
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:54
			naked photo shoot and you got all these
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:57
			women that are going there purely just for
		
00:39:57 --> 00:40:00
			vanity purposes it's something they want to do
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:02
			for so long because they feel they're ugly
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:05
			may Allah protect our women from this may
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:07
			Allah protect all women from this because it's
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:10
			such a sad case you could have a
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:11
			good career you could have children, you could
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:13
			have a wonderful husband you could have a
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:16
			house, whatever you want but if you have
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:18
			this feeling that you don't look good enough
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:23
			that is, you must deal with it young
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:26
			girls will slash their wrists that's how women
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:29
			get exploited nowadays they just want some guy
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:30
			to come and tell them, you look nice
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:33
			she's not a very good looking if somebody
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:35
			tells her she's nice, she's willing to swoon
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:38
			she's willing to do whatever and that's why
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:41
			you have all these crazy people la hawla
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:43
			wa la quwwata illa billah going after young
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:45
			girls, just making them feel good about themselves
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:50
			it's just a natural vulnerability that's why I
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:53
			say may Allah protect so yes, these women
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:56
			of the world will be superior according to
		
00:40:56 --> 00:41:00
			their ibadah to the women of paradise what
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:01
			about men?
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:03
			you're probably thinking what are men going to
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:06
			look like then we're talking about women the
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:09
			hadith about women, it says that Allah subhanahu
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:12
			wa ta'ala what's related is that Allah
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:14
			subhanahu wa ta'ala will have the men
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:19
			rise up in paradise like their father, Adam
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:22
			alayhi salam in an absolute pure state jurdum
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:27
			murdum mukahaleen that means no hair no hair
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:32
			that you have to keep cleaning it's going
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:35
			to be free of hair and you're going
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:41
			to have naturally darkened eyes with the antimony,
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:47
			mukahaleen beautiful eyes and there's other narration surati
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:50
			yusuf, qalbu ayyub, lisanu muhammad salallahu alayhi wasalam
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:52
			not sure how strong that hadith is though
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:56
			but it's going to be youth of 33
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:59
			years of age approximately 33 years of age
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:04
			absolute prime the women of paradise they will
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:09
			call out to the women of the world
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:13
			and they will boast they'll brag about we
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:16
			are so and so if we look into
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:20
			the world this will happen our combs are
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:22
			made of gold and we have this and
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:24
			we have that and we've got this color
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:25
			clothing and all of these things that I
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:29
			mentioned so the hadith says that this is
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:36
			how the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam mentioned, Aisha
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:40
			radiallahu anha said that when the hurul aeen
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:42
			will say this when the maidens of paradise
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:44
			will say all of these things the women
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:52
			of the world will say that we've prayed
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:59
			you've never prayed we've fasted you've never fasted
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:06
			we have made wudu and purified ourselves you
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:12
			have never done that and we have given
		
00:43:12 --> 00:43:14
			charity and sadaqa and you've not given that
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:17
			that's why they're going to be superior but
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:20
			this also tells us something else that if
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:21
			you want to be up there this is
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:23
			what you have to do and this is
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:26
			for all of us it says about Junaid
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:30
			al-Baghdadi one of the great early Zahids
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:34
			right the Zuhads are the Zuhad is plural
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:37
			of Zahid it's the precursor for what we
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:41
			call the Sufis I mean he was of
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:45
			immense proportions in terms of spirituality everybody respects
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:47
			him when he passed away and he was
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:49
			seen in a dream and he was asked
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:51
			what happened and he's got a very famous
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:52
			statement which we don't have to go into
		
00:43:52 --> 00:44:02
			depth right now right and
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:08
			he said all of the writings all of
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:11
			the indications from the writings all the knowledge
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:13
			all the different sciences all of that withered
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:20
			away وَمَا نَفَعْنَا إِلَّا رُكَيْعَاتٍ رَكَعْنَاهَا فِي السَّهْرِ
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:24
			the only thing that benefited us was the
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:26
			Ruqayat and the way he even says the
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:31
			Ruqayat means Raqas the individual units of the
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:33
			prayer he says Ruqayat which is a diminutive
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:36
			which is to show except the few small
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:40
			brief prayers Rukuz the Raqats that we made
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:44
			at night that is the only thing that
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:47
			benefited us everything else flew out the window
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:49
			so at the end of the day this
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:52
			is where the superiority will come from and
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:54
			this is a lesson for all of us
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:57
			that we can pleasure in all of these
		
00:44:57 --> 00:44:58
			things look at what Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:44:58 --> 00:45:00
			'ala has mentioned but if we don't do
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:03
			enough are we going to get there for
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:05
			men and women are we going to get
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:06
			there may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:08
			this a serious source of encouragement in the
		
00:45:08 --> 00:45:11
			correct and positive way and may Allah subhanahu
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:13
			wa ta'ala grant us Jannatul Firdaus I
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:15
			got an email the other day I don't
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:17
			want to ask for Jannat I feel selfish
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:19
			I feel kind of reluctant to ask Allah
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:23
			for Jannatul Firdaus you have decreased the generosity
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:27
			you've underestimated the generosity of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:29
			ta'ala you mustn't think that if I
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:30
			ask for it somebody else might not be
		
00:45:30 --> 00:45:32
			and they may be more worthy of me
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:34
			you must not when it comes to the
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:37
			Deen you must ask for the highest thing
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:39
			that's why there's actually a difference of opinion
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:43
			sometimes somebody a scholar or somebody comes in
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:45
			a person who's sitting there for half an
		
00:45:45 --> 00:45:48
			hour in the first line will tell him
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:50
			to go forward there are two opinions even
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:53
			within the Hanafi school about this Ibn Nujaim
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:59
			great Egyptian Hanafi jurist he says that nobody
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:01
			should do that because when it comes to
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:04
			you and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:06
			getting close to him acts of Qurbah acts
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:08
			of closeness proximity to Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:12
			'ala you mustn't give anybody else chance before
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:15
			you that's your place you take it right
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:18
			likewise if you're making Dua don't make Dua
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:19
			for everybody else first make Dua for yourself
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:23
			first then make Dua for everybody else same
		
00:46:23 --> 00:46:25
			kind of thing whereas Ibn Abidin the other
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:28
			great jurist he says look I understand that
		
00:46:28 --> 00:46:30
			point but then there's an aspect of respect
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:31
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala knows what's going
		
00:46:31 --> 00:46:33
			on he'll give you the reward of that
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:35
			despite the fact that you've given somebody else
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:36
			so you're getting a double reward in that
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:38
			sense so there is an Ikhtilaf about that
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:40
			but what it does tell us is that
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:42
			when it comes to us we must not
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:44
			underestimate Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala ask Allah
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:48
			it was said فسأل الله الفردوس ask Allah
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:51
			subhanahu wa ta'ala for Firdaus mustn't underestimate
		
00:46:51 --> 00:46:53
			if we ask him and that's accepted for
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:55
			us inshallah our actions will become like that
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:58
			automatically it become easier for that okay you
		
00:46:58 --> 00:47:00
			wanna be in Jannatul Firdaus if I accept
		
00:47:00 --> 00:47:02
			your Dua then you're gonna have to do
		
00:47:02 --> 00:47:04
			some Rakaats and then you'll feel it'll be
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:05
			easy for you to wake up at night
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:09
			to pray I think that's a sufficient discussion
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:11
			about the status of women in Paradise and
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:13
			the status of men in Paradise so inshallah
		
00:47:13 --> 00:47:16
			that's been sufficient so now let's end this
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:19
			Surah which is considered the adornment of the
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:20
			Quran the bride of the Quran literally speaking
		
00:47:20 --> 00:47:23
			it says عَرُوسُ الْقُرْآنِ a bride of the
		
00:47:23 --> 00:47:27
			Quran so they will be reclining on these
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:33
			special green couches special green mattresses عَبْقَرِينْ حِسَانٍ
		
00:47:33 --> 00:47:36
			فَبِي أَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانَ which of the
		
00:47:36 --> 00:47:39
			bounties of your Lord will you deny تَبَارَكَ
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:43
			اسْمُ رَبِّكِ ذِلْ جَلَالِ وَالْإِقْرَامِ and that is
		
00:47:43 --> 00:47:46
			glorious is the name of your Lord the
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:49
			Lord of Majesty and the Lord of Honor
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:51
			this is your Lord who has created all
		
00:47:51 --> 00:47:53
			of these great things for you and who
		
00:47:53 --> 00:47:56
			has given you all of these bounties so
		
00:47:56 --> 00:47:57
			this is a way to end this Surah
		
00:47:57 --> 00:48:00
			by speaking about the greatness of Allah subhanahu
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:03
			wa ta'ala مُبَارَك تَبَارَك مُبَارَك the Blessed
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:06
			Lord who grants you blessings because He is
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:08
			the Blessed One may Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:13
			'ala give us the true true understanding of
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:16
			this Surah now that we've covered it inshallah
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:17
			it will be even more beautiful for us
		
00:48:17 --> 00:48:19
			because when we hear it we should have
		
00:48:19 --> 00:48:21
			an idea of what it speaks about and
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:24
			to conclude it the beginning part speaks about
		
00:48:24 --> 00:48:25
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and the bounties
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:27
			that He's given us in terms of teaching
		
00:48:27 --> 00:48:30
			us how to teaching us the Quran establishing
		
00:48:30 --> 00:48:35
			the scale establishing qanun which means establishing rule
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:39
			and law in this world then Allah subhanahu
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:42
			wa ta'ala speaks about certain realities like
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:44
			the sun and the moon Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:46
			ta'ala speaks about the confluence of the
		
00:48:46 --> 00:48:49
			two oceans Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala speaks
		
00:48:49 --> 00:48:51
			about Himself then He goes on to the
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:54
			warning aspect where He says that I'm going
		
00:48:54 --> 00:48:56
			to take care of you oh jinn and
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:59
			the human being if you try to escape
		
00:48:59 --> 00:49:00
			from the boundaries of the heavens and the
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:02
			earth you will not be able to on
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:03
			the day of judgment and then it speaks
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:06
			about how the people of hellfire meaning not
		
00:49:06 --> 00:49:08
			the hellfire but the people of hellfire the
		
00:49:08 --> 00:49:10
			mujrimin, the criminals will be dealt with and
		
00:49:10 --> 00:49:13
			look on their face and how they will
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:15
			seem on that day then Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:16
			ta'ala spends a good portion of this
		
00:49:16 --> 00:49:19
			Surah speaking about the paradise about Jannah the
		
00:49:19 --> 00:49:21
			Jannah of those will be foremost they get
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:23
			a higher level of Jannah and then there's
		
00:49:23 --> 00:49:26
			the other Jannah and just one point that
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:27
			I missed out when it says that every
		
00:49:27 --> 00:49:30
			person will have yes, I think we've covered
		
00:49:30 --> 00:49:32
			everything may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give
		
00:49:32 --> 00:49:34
			us the tawfiq to understand may Allah the
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:37
			constant repetition in here of which of the
		
00:49:37 --> 00:49:39
			bounties of your Lord will you deny may
		
00:49:39 --> 00:49:40
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala not allow us
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:43
			to deny and not make us deniers sometimes
		
00:49:43 --> 00:49:47
			we're not active deniers but we sometimes become
		
00:49:48 --> 00:49:51
			indirect deniers we deny without realizing that we're
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:52
			denying so may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:49:52 --> 00:49:54
			protect us from all forms of denials of
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:59
			His bounties may Allah give us the ability
		
00:49:59 --> 00:50:01
			to do shukr and to be thankful of
		
00:50:01 --> 00:50:05
			those bounties and one thing we're very grateful
		
00:50:05 --> 00:50:06
			for is that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:50:06 --> 00:50:09
			has given us the tawfiq to listen to
		
00:50:09 --> 00:50:11
			His kalam to read it and to study
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:13
			it and to have this dars which is
		
00:50:13 --> 00:50:15
			really a blessing of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:50:15 --> 00:50:17
			'ala because this is no ordinary gathering inshallah
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:20
			this is a blessed gathering just by mere
		
00:50:20 --> 00:50:23
			fact of where we are and what we're
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:25
			discussing regardless of who's discussing it or who's
		
00:50:25 --> 00:50:27
			listening but because we're in such a place
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:31
			and that's being discussed if Imam Ghazali says
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:33
			that the word saying Allah cannot be devoid
		
00:50:33 --> 00:50:34
			of benefit even if you say it with
		
00:50:34 --> 00:50:37
			total heedlessness Allah and it's still gonna have
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:39
			benefit can you imagine the words of the
		
00:50:39 --> 00:50:43
			Quran which are the words of Allah they're
		
00:50:43 --> 00:50:44
			gonna have some benefit regardless of who's speaking
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:47
			or who's listening so may Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:48
			ta'ala make us the recipients of this
		
00:50:48 --> 00:50:51
			bounty may Allah infuse our hearts with the
		
00:50:51 --> 00:50:53
			barakah of this and allow us to be
		
00:50:53 --> 00:50:55
			illuminated for the rest of our life with
		
00:50:55 --> 00:50:57
			these things the ulama say that you go
		
00:50:57 --> 00:50:59
			to the masjid you get the blessing you
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:01
			come home your home is full of blessing
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:03
			that's the benefit of going to the masjid
		
00:51:03 --> 00:51:05
			so if you're spending time there listening to
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:06
			the Quran then it's gonna be even greater
		
00:51:06 --> 00:51:08
			may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give us
		
00:51:08 --> 00:51:11
			the realization of this there's one very important
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:14
			verse that I missed speaks about what exactly
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:16
			women will get in paradise never ending is
		
00:51:16 --> 00:51:22
			it يُحَلَّونَ فِيهَا مِنْ أَسَاوِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَلُؤْلُؤًا
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:25
			وَلِبَاسُهُمْ فِيهَا حَرِيرٌ this kind of sums it
		
00:51:25 --> 00:51:29
			up they'll be given أساوِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ bracelets
		
00:51:29 --> 00:51:33
			of gold right thick bracelets of gold right
		
00:51:33 --> 00:51:39
			and لُؤْلُؤًا and pearls and لِبَاسُهُمْ فِيهَا and
		
00:51:39 --> 00:51:42
			the garments in there will be of the
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:45
			best of silk right so that's just an
		
00:51:45 --> 00:51:46
			addition and well in the end may Allah
		
00:51:46 --> 00:51:49
			give us Jannah وَأَخِرُ الدَّعْوَانَ أَنَّ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ
		
00:51:49 --> 00:52:16
			رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَجَعَلْهُ
		
00:52:16 --> 00:52:19
			لَنَا إِمَامًا وَهُدًى وَنُورًا وَرَحْمَةً اللَّهُمَّ ذَكِّرْنَا مِنْهُمَا
		
00:52:19 --> 00:52:23
			نَسِيْنَا وَعَلِّمْنَا مِنْهُمَا جَهِلْنَا اللَّهُمَّ رَزُقْنَا تِلَاوَتَهُ
		
00:52:23 --> 00:52:27
			آنَا الْلَيْلِ وَآنَا النَّهَارِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ
		
00:52:27 --> 00:52:30
			عَمَّا يَصِيفُونَ وَسَلَامٌ عَنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ
		
00:52:30 --> 00:52:33
			الْعَالَمِينَ The point of a lecture is to
		
00:52:33 --> 00:52:36
			encourage people to act, to get further, an
		
00:52:36 --> 00:52:40
			inspiration, an encouragement, persuasion.
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:42
			The next step is to actually start learning
		
00:52:42 --> 00:52:45
			seriously, to read books, to take on a
		
00:52:45 --> 00:52:47
			subject of Islam and to understand all the
		
00:52:47 --> 00:52:49
			subjects of Islam at least at their basic
		
00:52:49 --> 00:52:52
			level so that we can become more aware
		
00:52:52 --> 00:52:53
			of what our deen wants from us.
		
00:52:54 --> 00:52:56
			And that's why we started Rayyan courses so
		
00:52:56 --> 00:53:00
			that you can actually take organized lectures on
		
00:53:00 --> 00:53:03
			demand whenever you have free time, especially for
		
00:53:03 --> 00:53:07
			example the Islamic essentials course that we have
		
00:53:07 --> 00:53:09
			on there, the Islamic essentials certificate which you
		
00:53:09 --> 00:53:13
			take 20 short modules and at the end
		
00:53:13 --> 00:53:15
			of that, inshallah, you will have gotten the
		
00:53:15 --> 00:53:19
			basics of most of the most important topics
		
00:53:19 --> 00:53:20
			in Islam and you'll feel a lot more
		
00:53:20 --> 00:53:21
			confident.
		
00:53:21 --> 00:53:22
			You don't have to leave lectures behind, you
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:25
			can continue to listen to lectures but you
		
00:53:25 --> 00:53:27
			need to have this more sustained study as
		
00:53:27 --> 00:53:28
			well.
		
00:53:28 --> 00:53:30
