00:01:38 --> 00:01:42

Hamdulillah we reach the 12 Jews of the Quran. And we begin from

00:01:42 --> 00:01:49

Surah Hood. So that hood started off in the elevens just right at

00:01:49 --> 00:01:54

the end, there's about five verses or so little hood in sorted hood

00:01:54 --> 00:01:59

in the 11th juice, which we did not cover yesterday. So that's

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

where we begin from and then we continue into

00:02:03 --> 00:02:09

the rest of the surah which is part of Jews 12. And then once the

00:02:09 --> 00:02:14

Jews once the surah completes, then it starts with sort of the

00:02:14 --> 00:02:19

use of and so a use of then continues into the next Jews as

00:02:19 --> 00:02:24

well. So inshallah Today we look at sort of hood. And we look at

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27

part of Surah Surah Surah, to use of

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30

Surah to hood.

00:02:32 --> 00:02:39

As I said five of the verses. Were in the 11th Judas and the way it

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40

starts is

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

Bismillah R Rahman Al Rahim, Elif

00:02:46 --> 00:02:54

or Keita came to some Forcella Milla don't Hakeem in hobby, Allah

00:02:54 --> 00:03:02

caribou do il Allah in nanny la caminho nauseum Vashi she,

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

again, just like with other students, he starts with early

00:03:06 --> 00:03:11

flam Ra. And then it speaks about the Quran. It speaks about the

00:03:11 --> 00:03:16

Quran Kitab al Hakim at Isaiah to sunnah. facilite. The concept of

00:03:16 --> 00:03:22

the ayah mahkamah. As mentioned in sort of earlier Imran, some of the

00:03:22 --> 00:03:26

many of the verses of the Quran, makan versus the firmly

00:03:26 --> 00:03:29

established, they're not ambiguous at all, they're very clear. So

00:03:29 --> 00:03:34

Allah subhanho wa Taala says that this book, whose verses

00:03:35 --> 00:03:40

absolutely firmly established and ratified and then some are

00:03:40 --> 00:03:43

facilite Minella, don't Hakeem in hubiera. Then they've been

00:03:43 --> 00:03:47

detailed the detail in there comes all from the Hakeem and the hubby.

00:03:48 --> 00:03:52

The Hakeem and the hubby. The Hakeem is the wise one could also

00:03:52 --> 00:03:56

be used as the judge. But in this case, the wise one and the hobby,

00:03:56 --> 00:04:01

the All Knowing one. The idea here is that everything in the Surah is

00:04:01 --> 00:04:05

so clear cut, it's absolute. There's no doubts in it, no

00:04:05 --> 00:04:11

ambiguity, no uncertainty, very clear cut, coming from the one who

00:04:11 --> 00:04:14

has absolute knowledge of everything. And then they still

00:04:14 --> 00:04:17

don't get it. They still don't listen. Though in their hearts,

00:04:17 --> 00:04:21

they know it's right. They still they still refuse. That's why

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

Allah then says Allah caribou. Illa Allah so that you do not

00:04:23 --> 00:04:27

worship anybody but to him. And then the prophet Elijah was in

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

Nila caminhada de Roma Bashir,

00:04:30 --> 00:04:35

a warner and a glad tiding Glad Tidings giver that's what I am for

00:04:35 --> 00:04:38

you. And then there's some promises that are made that if you

00:04:38 --> 00:04:43

do is that far to your Lord, and you return to him in repentance,

00:04:43 --> 00:04:48

then he will. He will treat you with many bounties and many many

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

gifts

00:04:50 --> 00:04:54

and, and so on. So let's just understand that this surah

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

is the 11th Surah of the Quran. It has

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

About 120, it has 123 verses.

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07

It's a murky surah. So you can expect what the content is going

00:05:07 --> 00:05:14

to be. And it has 10 themes 10 ruku and 10 themes inside.

00:05:15 --> 00:05:20

So it starts off with, as I mentioned the Quranic the majesty

00:05:20 --> 00:05:25

of the Quran, and saying that both the verses in terms of the way

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

they've been composed by Allah subhanaw taala, and also their

00:05:29 --> 00:05:33

content. They're absolutely firm. And there's no they, they they

00:05:33 --> 00:05:38

leave no doubt for they don't leave no room for any doubts. You

00:05:38 --> 00:05:42

won't find any contradiction. You won't find any uncertainty, and no

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

discrepancy in there as well.

00:05:45 --> 00:05:48

And one of the reasons for it being so Markham is because it's

00:05:48 --> 00:05:53

from the Hakeem the word Markham. How come how come comes from the

00:05:53 --> 00:05:58

same route as Hakeem. So because it comes from the wise one, the

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

first one, and the one who does things? Well, because when you say

00:06:02 --> 00:06:07

do calm, have something in Arabic, like Kim, who you do something

00:06:07 --> 00:06:11

with echo means you do something with firmness. So it has all of

00:06:11 --> 00:06:15

these meanings in there. The other reason for it is quite simple that

00:06:15 --> 00:06:18

Allah subhanaw taala is our Creator. And Allah subhanaw taala

00:06:18 --> 00:06:23

created men created everything. He knows their nature. He knows what

00:06:23 --> 00:06:26

he made them from, he knows what he made them for. And he knows

00:06:26 --> 00:06:30

exactly what they're capable of doing and what laws they can get

00:06:30 --> 00:06:33

to and what heights they can achieve. So when it's coming from

00:06:33 --> 00:06:37

the one who absolutely knows everything. This is unlike a

00:06:37 --> 00:06:40

company that puts out a camera or an iPad or something, and then

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

they discover a flaw later. So they have to give a patch or they

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

have to do a recall with Allah subhanaw taala there is no such

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

doubt. There's no room for error at all. He is absolutely Hakeem.

00:06:53 --> 00:06:58

And whatever he does, is with proper gum, right? It's absolutely

00:06:58 --> 00:07:03

mahkum and completely firm. And leaving no doubt so he knows not

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

just the past of the human, he knows the present, he knows the

00:07:06 --> 00:07:11

future. It's all as it's as if it is today for him. It's the same

00:07:11 --> 00:07:12

thing for him.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

That's ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada.

00:07:16 --> 00:07:21

Now, once Allah subhanaw taala talks about the verses, and then

00:07:21 --> 00:07:24

after that Allah subhanaw taala starts the discussion, invitation

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

to the Oneness of Allah because it's a murky Surah from the makin

00:07:27 --> 00:07:31

period. So it's still in in COURAGING people to come and leave

00:07:31 --> 00:07:36

their idol idol worship and so on, so forth. So

00:07:37 --> 00:07:40

Allah subhanaw taala then mentioned numerous if you look at

00:07:40 --> 00:07:43

the next so many verses until the stories begin. So there's this

00:07:43 --> 00:07:48

sort of split up into first lots of denial, denial of the heat, the

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

proofs of the Oneness of Allah.

00:07:51 --> 00:07:56

It's afterwards. So initially, that's what the discussion is, and

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

then after that, it goes into several stories in quite a bit of

00:07:59 --> 00:08:02

detail as well. So we will we will be looking at that in sha Allah.

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

Firstly, Allah subhanaw taala. If you look at verse six, which is

00:08:07 --> 00:08:11

the beginning of the 12, Jews, imam in the button fill out, there

00:08:11 --> 00:08:15

is no dub no beast on the earth, except that ALLAH subhanaw taala

00:08:15 --> 00:08:21

is responsible for its upkeep for its provision for its sustenance.

00:08:22 --> 00:08:25

There's no organization when it comes to the animal world, that

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

okay, there's a welfare system, if some animal is suffering, they're

00:08:29 --> 00:08:33

not going to get and so on. And so that if someone is suffering, then

00:08:33 --> 00:08:37

they can go and apply. And they can get some welfare or a benefit

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

check or something like that. It's basically survival of the fittest

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

sometimes in those places, but Allah subhanaw taala makes the

00:08:44 --> 00:08:48

whole animal chain the food chain such that they either rely on one

00:08:48 --> 00:08:49

another.

00:08:50 --> 00:08:53

The larger ones, learn the smaller ones, and so on so forth, or they

00:08:53 --> 00:08:56

rely on the vegetation and there's abundant generally there's

00:08:56 --> 00:08:59

abundant unless Allah subhanaw taala wants them to perish, just

00:08:59 --> 00:09:02

like with human beings and they perish. So that's Allah subhanaw

00:09:02 --> 00:09:06

taala system, even when it comes to that, so Allah is saying that

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

very clear, look, everything is reliant on me. Allah is saying,

00:09:10 --> 00:09:13

relying on me for its sustenance and his provision, Allah is in

00:09:13 --> 00:09:16

charge of everything, and he knows exactly what is temporary about

00:09:16 --> 00:09:21

his ways permanent abode is all of this is already recorded colon

00:09:21 --> 00:09:24

Fie, Kitab him in a clear book, it's all recorded. Then Allah says

00:09:24 --> 00:09:27

he's the one who created the heavens and earth in six days, and

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

his throne was underwater.

00:09:31 --> 00:09:34

The throne was in the water, there was nothing else it was water.

00:09:34 --> 00:09:37

According to a hadith the water was on air. So the water was on

00:09:37 --> 00:09:41

air and the throne was under water. Allah doesn't need it to

00:09:41 --> 00:09:44

have Allah put it on the water, meaning it was floating under what

00:09:44 --> 00:09:49

it was. It was balancing on the water in whatever Allah subhanaw

00:09:49 --> 00:09:51

taala wished it to be. Then Allah created the heavens and earth in

00:09:51 --> 00:09:55

six days. Now when you go into the various different narrations,

00:09:55 --> 00:09:59

you'll you'll find the discussion that there's two days for the

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

heavens two days

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

For the earth two days for these other aspects, we're not we don't

00:10:04 --> 00:10:07

have the time for that. But what are the main reasons of mentioning

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

the six days and throughout the Quran, there are different days

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

that are mentioned about Allah subhanaw taala doing things. And

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16

of course, there was no days in those day in the sun hasn't been

00:10:16 --> 00:10:19

created yet. It was created afterwards, right? The sun came

00:10:19 --> 00:10:23

after, you know, throughout the process. So then how, what's this

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

concept of days. So that's in our understanding of days. And again,

00:10:27 --> 00:10:30

the whole, the whole symbolism of the whole message in this is that

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

when you do things, do it properly, if Allah will, he could

00:10:32 --> 00:10:36

have just said couldn't, you could have just desired it will it and

00:10:36 --> 00:10:39

it would have happened, he didn't need to take six days, he didn't

00:10:39 --> 00:10:44

need to make it over six days, you understand, but many of them have

00:10:44 --> 00:10:47

a seven day explanation here is that this is actually a lesson for

00:10:47 --> 00:10:51

us that Allah is giving that you do think slowly, you take time you

00:10:51 --> 00:10:54

do it properly. If you do it all together, I'll give you a simple

00:10:54 --> 00:10:55

idea where I used to see

00:10:57 --> 00:11:00

somebody my father anybody painting a wall or anything, why

00:11:00 --> 00:11:02

is he using just a small basket, the biggest brush that you can

00:11:02 --> 00:11:07

get, just slap it on. Like, you know why the small brush or you

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

know,

00:11:09 --> 00:11:13

especially, you know, like a door when you're using a glass on a

00:11:13 --> 00:11:16

door. I mean, they use a smaller brush that you don't use a for

00:11:16 --> 00:11:19

gloss, you don't generally use a roller that's used for the

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

emulsion on walls. So why don't you just get the biggest brush and

00:11:22 --> 00:11:25

just especially at least do the middle part, that's what I would

00:11:25 --> 00:11:28

have done. Instead, no, take it easy. Take it just one every you

00:11:28 --> 00:11:32

just want to work everything out. So take it easy, because when you

00:11:32 --> 00:11:36

do that, then it's refined, there's a specific delicate way to

00:11:36 --> 00:11:39

do things. You can't do everything with a big brush. Let's put it

00:11:39 --> 00:11:42

that way. You can't do everything with a big brush. Allah subhanaw

00:11:42 --> 00:11:45

taala is teaching us citizen there's a number of other lessons

00:11:45 --> 00:11:48

in here, which inshallah you can read about in your further

00:11:48 --> 00:11:48

reading.

00:11:49 --> 00:11:52

So Allah subhanho wa Taala gives a number of evidences for the

00:11:52 --> 00:11:55

Oneness of Allah, and how everything relies upon him. And

00:11:55 --> 00:11:59

everything depends upon him talking about the various

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

different aspects from the heavens to the earth.

00:12:02 --> 00:12:07

However, the problem is that the limit in all of this is the sorrow

00:12:07 --> 00:12:12

the sorrow in all of this is that those people who can see this, and

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

a lot of the evidences that are being provided here are from

00:12:14 --> 00:12:18

things that you see every day, and that you can't deny nobody knows

00:12:18 --> 00:12:20

the backing of these things. Nobody knows the reasoning for

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

these things. And Allah subhanaw taala is providing all of these

00:12:23 --> 00:12:25

all of this idea.

00:12:26 --> 00:12:30

But those people whose eyes are closed because of obstinacy,

00:12:30 --> 00:12:33

because of arrogance, because of stubbornness, then they're just

00:12:33 --> 00:12:36

not going to listen to this. They keep denying the Oneness of Allah

00:12:36 --> 00:12:37

subhanaw taala.

00:12:38 --> 00:12:40

And then they of course, they deny the Quran to be the words of

00:12:40 --> 00:12:41

Allah.

00:12:42 --> 00:12:46

So, now Allah subhanaw taala. Again, if you look at verse

00:12:48 --> 00:12:53

13, Allah gives another challenge. Now this challenge, today's Amir

00:12:53 --> 00:12:56

Kudo and of terracotta to be actually suvery Mifflin. There's

00:12:56 --> 00:12:58

three places in the Quran where this kind of challenge is

00:12:58 --> 00:13:02

provided. Right, and one of them says, This one says that bring 10

00:13:02 --> 00:13:06

Verse 10 Surah is like this 10 chapters, even the smallest 10

00:13:07 --> 00:13:10

Bring 10 chapters like this, we've already read earlier, where he

00:13:10 --> 00:13:14

said, Bring one chapter like this, bring a Quran like it is another

00:13:14 --> 00:13:17

one. So that's how Allah subhanaw taala talks about it in different

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

places. But of course, they were never able to bring anything like

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

it, they were never able to bring anything like it. Now, sort of

00:13:24 --> 00:13:27

Hood, the main themes in sort of who this specific more specific

00:13:27 --> 00:13:31

messages have sort of Hood is that number one, the first thing is

00:13:31 --> 00:13:34

going to talk about is obviously a distinction between two types of

00:13:34 --> 00:13:41

people. One are those people who have their entire focus in life,

00:13:41 --> 00:13:45

their entire focus in life, their efforts, everything that they live

00:13:45 --> 00:13:48

for, and may Allah not make us of them, because a lot of people are

00:13:48 --> 00:13:52

like that, right? Even if they profess to believe their main

00:13:52 --> 00:13:57

thing is just to get the dunya to acquire more of it. If it's this

00:13:57 --> 00:14:00

house, it has to be a bigger one tomorrow, and so on and so forth.

00:14:02 --> 00:14:06

The entire moment is spent thinking about this, in discussing

00:14:06 --> 00:14:10

it in going after it in earning for it and so on. All they're

00:14:10 --> 00:14:13

worried about is just comfort of this world. And they're basically

00:14:13 --> 00:14:16

forgetting the Hereafter. And some people have absolutely forgotten

00:14:16 --> 00:14:19

to hear it in the sense that they've not even concerned

00:14:19 --> 00:14:22

considered it, which means they're disbelievers. And there's others

00:14:22 --> 00:14:24

who have actually considered it they believe they're going to go

00:14:24 --> 00:14:27

there, they've got the ticket for it, but they're not worried about

00:14:27 --> 00:14:30

it yet. The other group obviously, are those people who have been

00:14:30 --> 00:14:34

denied divinely guided by Allah subhanaw taala, who use the world

00:14:34 --> 00:14:39

to take part in the world. And but their entire focus of all their

00:14:39 --> 00:14:43

focus at different varying levels of using the world of living in

00:14:43 --> 00:14:47

the world eating and so on, is actually the archaea. Right? We

00:14:47 --> 00:14:51

just need to increase that that more of our world becomes for our

00:14:51 --> 00:14:54

akhira that generally happens through good intention, even when

00:14:54 --> 00:14:59

we're eating or when we're sleeping. So their entire focus is

00:14:59 --> 00:15:00

the here

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

are often that's where you get between.

00:15:03 --> 00:15:09

You get between verses until about verse 16 or above verse 1516.

00:15:09 --> 00:15:12

Around that time and then when you get to verse

00:15:13 --> 00:15:17

24, Allah subhanaw taala then strikes a comparison between them

00:15:17 --> 00:15:20

after detailing the to Allah subhanho wa Taala says,

00:15:22 --> 00:15:26

In Alladhina ermine or Amina Saudi Hertie actually method will for

00:15:26 --> 00:15:29

the clinical AMA, which is in verse 24, methyl for the Beinecke

00:15:29 --> 00:15:33

alarma, while Asami while bacillary was semi, * yester,

00:15:33 --> 00:15:38

we are the masala of Allah, the Quran, the example of these two

00:15:38 --> 00:15:42

groups that we've just spoken about the one who are Arma and

00:15:42 --> 00:15:46

Assam, they're dumb and blind. They don't speak the truth.

00:15:46 --> 00:15:49

They're not dumb and blind. These are not, you know, people with

00:15:49 --> 00:15:52

disability of that sort know, these are people with a spiritual

00:15:52 --> 00:15:55

disability. And I guess a Hong Kong is a

00:15:57 --> 00:16:00

home for the spiritually disabled people to become more spiritually

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

enabled. Right. So these people are Atma and Assam, can they be

00:16:07 --> 00:16:09

the same as the one who looks and here's

00:16:10 --> 00:16:19

the truth. And Huck, can that be a equal example? Do not reflect. So

00:16:19 --> 00:16:20

that's basically

00:16:21 --> 00:16:24

all the evidence has mentioned. Until then now, Allah subhanaw

00:16:24 --> 00:16:30

taala, switches style, right switches, his mode and method of

00:16:30 --> 00:16:35

explanation. And this is what the Quran does. And this is a question

00:16:35 --> 00:16:40

that I think I saw in one of the comments of the Tafseer. That

00:16:42 --> 00:16:45

for the person who's reading the Quran, for the first time with

00:16:45 --> 00:16:47

understanding one of the challenges they're going to have,

00:16:48 --> 00:16:52

is the constant movement from topic to topic subject to subject.

00:16:53 --> 00:16:57

Sometimes the subject is the same, but the arguments differ. So it

00:16:57 --> 00:17:01

talks about a cosmic argument, then he talks about a microcosmic

00:17:01 --> 00:17:04

argument from the human being talks about something from history

00:17:04 --> 00:17:08

gives the historical anecdote or takes you fast forward to the

00:17:08 --> 00:17:12

hereafter and talks about the Day of Judgment, or it strikes terror

00:17:12 --> 00:17:16

into the hearts by talking about some punishment and warnings, or

00:17:16 --> 00:17:20

it provides the gladness and the joys of paradise a depiction and a

00:17:20 --> 00:17:25

graphic of the beautiful endless bliss of the gardens constantly

00:17:25 --> 00:17:29

keeps moving. And when you get used to the style, then you start

00:17:29 --> 00:17:33

appreciating the style this the Quran is a genre on its own, if

00:17:33 --> 00:17:37

you want to call it that, it does not have a there's nothing else

00:17:37 --> 00:17:40

like it. That's why when oriental is have looked at it as a German

00:17:40 --> 00:17:44

Orientals called Nordica he. So what kind of writing is this? You

00:17:44 --> 00:17:47

know, because generally, what you're told when you're composing

00:17:47 --> 00:17:50

something, it's not a poem, where you're composing something is that

00:17:50 --> 00:17:53

you start off by in the first paragraph by telling them what

00:17:53 --> 00:17:57

you're going to tell them, then you tell them, and then you, you

00:17:57 --> 00:18:00

put the conclusion by saying you tell them what you've told them.

00:18:00 --> 00:18:03

So you tell them what you're going to tell them, then you tell them,

00:18:03 --> 00:18:06

what you're what you're telling them. And then after that, you

00:18:06 --> 00:18:08

tell them what you've told them. That's how it's supposed to be,

00:18:08 --> 00:18:12

it's supposed to be organized like that. But now the Quran objective

00:18:12 --> 00:18:15

is totally different. It's not what the Quran is, therefore, to

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

tell you a nice story, but it's actually to pull out your heart.

00:18:19 --> 00:18:23

That's why there are numerous different types of arguments that

00:18:23 --> 00:18:26

you will see numerous different themes. So it's on a genre of its

00:18:26 --> 00:18:30

own, it's a style of its own. It's not a poem, it's not an it's not

00:18:30 --> 00:18:35

prose, is not anything else. Right? It's, it's it's got a lot

00:18:35 --> 00:18:39

of different things. And that's why Allah subhanaw taala one of

00:18:39 --> 00:18:43

the techniques used is to speak about the stories of the previous

00:18:43 --> 00:18:45

prophets. And

00:18:46 --> 00:18:50

what happens with that is it creates variety. Stories,

00:18:50 --> 00:18:53

obviously interesting for people, people like stories, they they

00:18:53 --> 00:18:56

just people just love like stories, even if it's a made up

00:18:56 --> 00:18:59

story, they like it. Many of movies are made up, you know, it's

00:18:59 --> 00:19:03

made up, but you still like it. Right? You get involved in it.

00:19:03 --> 00:19:07

People even cry at emotional moments. Right? People cry, the

00:19:07 --> 00:19:10

more they get angry, even though they know if they just sit back

00:19:10 --> 00:19:13

for a while. I think no, this is all made up. It's just the plot is

00:19:13 --> 00:19:16

just the director's take on this. Right. But that's how people are

00:19:16 --> 00:19:21

we get into stories. So that's why stories are very, very powerful.

00:19:21 --> 00:19:25

So that's why sometimes Allah subhanaw taala provides a scene of

00:19:25 --> 00:19:28

something even in the real world, I mean, in the real world, that's

00:19:28 --> 00:19:31

exactly what it is everyday. It's a different kinds of weather, a

00:19:31 --> 00:19:34

slight different, I mean, okay, if you go to Malaysia, it's heat heat

00:19:34 --> 00:19:37

heat, but it's either raining or not rainy. So it's still got to

00:19:37 --> 00:19:40

change it's either going to rain or it's not going to rain. You go

00:19:40 --> 00:19:44

around the types of vegetation that you see some is green, some

00:19:44 --> 00:19:48

is brown, some is the mashallah really large, some is small

00:19:49 --> 00:19:51

Subhanallah, sometimes you look and there's a hilly area,

00:19:51 --> 00:19:54

sometimes it's a low area, it's a flat area.

00:19:56 --> 00:19:59

You go to the ocean, sometimes it's calm, sometimes it's blue,

00:19:59 --> 00:20:00

sometimes it's green,

00:20:00 --> 00:20:04

In whew, sometimes it's dark, sometimes become silvery. Sometime

00:20:04 --> 00:20:09

it takes on a monstrous waves Subhanallah you look at, again,

00:20:09 --> 00:20:12

you look at the birds, the various different types of birds, the

00:20:12 --> 00:20:15

butterfly, I mean, subhanAllah sometimes it's hot, sometimes it's

00:20:15 --> 00:20:18

cold. Sometimes it's autumn, sometimes the leaves on the tree

00:20:18 --> 00:20:22

sometimes other times it's shedding. It's morning. It's

00:20:22 --> 00:20:26

evening. So likewise, when Allah subhanho wa taala, he does

00:20:26 --> 00:20:29

everything. And that's exactly how he does it. I mean, studies show

00:20:29 --> 00:20:33

that people get bored easily. That's why many videos that they

00:20:33 --> 00:20:35

make for entertainment purposes, they never show you the same thing

00:20:35 --> 00:20:38

for more than a few seconds, because they want to keep people's

00:20:38 --> 00:20:40

concentration there. Right.

00:20:42 --> 00:20:45

That's why when it comes to the Quran, as well, Allah subhanaw

00:20:45 --> 00:20:49

taala. In some cases, he is providing rulings, he is giving

00:20:49 --> 00:20:54

commandments. He is providing information. He is providing

00:20:54 --> 00:20:57

evidences, he's using stories, he's using other accounts, he's

00:20:57 --> 00:21:01

giving advice, he is talking about paradise. He's talking about

00:21:01 --> 00:21:02

hellfire, he's

00:21:03 --> 00:21:09

giving glad tidings, he is giving warnings, and so on and so forth.

00:21:09 --> 00:21:11

So it keeps moving from one

00:21:12 --> 00:21:15

scene to the next. And you have to get used to that and you move with

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

that and you start appreciating it. Because it's very natural.

00:21:18 --> 00:21:22

It's the way humans eyes so we're human. Humans inherently want

00:21:22 --> 00:21:26

things and the Quran is written exactly for that purpose. So I

00:21:26 --> 00:21:30

there is no better reading material than the Quran for those

00:21:30 --> 00:21:32

who want to read it properly.

00:21:34 --> 00:21:37

And you will never get bored with it. You might get bored of me

00:21:37 --> 00:21:39

speaking, but you will never get bored of the Quran.

00:21:42 --> 00:21:46

So we see exactly the style we see actually this style very

00:21:46 --> 00:21:50

prominently in sorted hoods. We see it very prominently here. So

00:21:50 --> 00:21:53

after Allah subhanaw taala mentions the truthfulness of the

00:21:53 --> 00:21:56

Quran and some of the evidences for the Oneness of Allah. Then

00:21:56 --> 00:21:59

Allah subhanaw taala mentioned several stories here, right.

00:21:59 --> 00:22:02

Firstly, stories mentioned the story of Luhan Islam then who that

00:22:02 --> 00:22:06

is around in Saudi, then luthiery salaam then sure everybody's and

00:22:06 --> 00:22:08

then Musa alayhis salam, then Harun Ali Salam.

00:22:09 --> 00:22:15

And that's how the surah ends with their with their story. And the

00:22:15 --> 00:22:18

purpose one of the biggest purposes for mentioning all of

00:22:18 --> 00:22:21

these stories is obviously to make people reflect on what happened in

00:22:21 --> 00:22:24

the past. Let us not follow them and be destroyed like the way they

00:22:24 --> 00:22:29

did. But both of the both in the beginning and at the end the first

00:22:29 --> 00:22:33

story and I believe the last story is where Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:22:33 --> 00:22:38

then emphasizes the truthfulness of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:22:38 --> 00:22:42

wasallam. And the fact that the Quran is a Marchesa, see, as I

00:22:42 --> 00:22:44

mentioned yesterday, the Prophet sallallaahu Salam was known by the

00:22:44 --> 00:22:47

people of Makkah that he was unlettered, he had not learned to

00:22:47 --> 00:22:52

read and write, and did not set with any teacher. So then how is

00:22:52 --> 00:22:54

it possible? Now this is something new, I'm going to tell you today.

00:22:54 --> 00:22:58

How is it then possible that the Quran comes with such detail?

00:22:59 --> 00:23:03

Extreme, elaborate, subtle details about the stories that nobody knew

00:23:03 --> 00:23:06

about? But they make sense? So like he's coming up with wacky

00:23:06 --> 00:23:10

ideas, that they just don't gel together? No, with a bit of

00:23:10 --> 00:23:13

information they did have, this clarifies it. And it fits

00:23:13 --> 00:23:19

completely in as the truth. So the subtlety, the veracity, the

00:23:19 --> 00:23:24

truthfulness, the completeness of the stories. They're just shocked,

00:23:24 --> 00:23:27

like, how can anybody have that information because they knew that

00:23:27 --> 00:23:30

level of knowledge in, in the area or maybe in the world, or

00:23:30 --> 00:23:33

whatever. So even when people from outside come, they'd be surprised,

00:23:33 --> 00:23:37

even educated people will be surprised. So they must, then the

00:23:37 --> 00:23:40

conclusion must be that this is coming from another source that

00:23:40 --> 00:23:43

has recorded all of history, which is Allah subhanaw taala.

00:23:45 --> 00:23:48

So that is one of the reasons why Allah subhanaw taala brings these

00:23:48 --> 00:23:51

different stories. So if you see from verse 25, then it's

00:23:51 --> 00:23:54

woollacott, arson, a new Hannula Comey, we've sent new Hadees

00:23:54 --> 00:23:56

Salam, right to his people.

00:23:57 --> 00:24:02

Likewise, if you look at verse, so if you look at verse 49, then what

00:24:02 --> 00:24:06

you'll see there is where Allah subhanaw taala says, They will

00:24:06 --> 00:24:10

come in amber if he knew he had a lake, these are these are the

00:24:10 --> 00:24:15

unseen. This is the unseen information on see news that we

00:24:15 --> 00:24:18

have revealed to you, you would not have known it, there is no way

00:24:18 --> 00:24:21

you could have known it know your people from before this. So first

00:24:21 --> 00:24:25

beer in the alphabet elimite Taki. This is to tell everybody that

00:24:25 --> 00:24:29

this is something totally coming from the vape from coming from the

00:24:29 --> 00:24:33

unseen from Allah subhanho wa Taala likewise, then, you can

00:24:33 --> 00:24:38

check this for yourself. Verse 110, at the end of Musa Ali Salam

00:24:38 --> 00:24:42

story, towards the end of in the midst of his story, ALLAH SubhanA

00:24:42 --> 00:24:46

wa Tada again, says the same thing. Well look at Athena Musa

00:24:46 --> 00:24:49

kita but factory for fee, We gave Musa alayhis salam the book but

00:24:49 --> 00:24:51

there was they had a difference about it when hola Kalemegdan sub

00:24:51 --> 00:24:54

Academy robic loco the abena Winona, we check him in who Marieb

00:24:55 --> 00:24:55

and so on.

00:24:56 --> 00:25:00

So while there's lots of lessons to be learned from this story,

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

is of the five prophets is also a lot of comfort that's provided,

00:25:04 --> 00:25:09

because it shows how the people how the Prophet, and whoever

00:25:09 --> 00:25:13

followed him, they stayed fast. And eventually they became the

00:25:13 --> 00:25:17

successful ones. So this also gives huge amount of solace to the

00:25:18 --> 00:25:21

fledgling community of maca, Makara, Rama, where they've been

00:25:21 --> 00:25:27

persecuted there, they are being persecuted the, in a disadvantaged

00:25:27 --> 00:25:30

situation, they don't know what's going to happen. But after all of

00:25:30 --> 00:25:34

these stories, after all of these accounts, they're given a huge

00:25:34 --> 00:25:39

amount of strength with these things. Now, just to quickly go

00:25:39 --> 00:25:42

through some of the stories. I mean, you can read them for

00:25:42 --> 00:25:44

yourself, know how the salam story has been mentioned in a few

00:25:44 --> 00:25:47

different places. But I think here it's probably it's probably the

00:25:47 --> 00:25:50

most detailed, know how Islam is very interesting, probably because

00:25:50 --> 00:25:54

he lived the longest. Right? And, but

00:25:55 --> 00:25:59

unfortunately, had very few very few flop followers. One of his

00:25:59 --> 00:26:03

sons was not his follower. The story is quite emotional in the

00:26:03 --> 00:26:10

sense that where Allah subhanaw taala then says, quoting him that

00:26:11 --> 00:26:14

make the boat because everybody is going to be destroyed and you need

00:26:14 --> 00:26:17

to take all your believers and animals and everything. And then

00:26:17 --> 00:26:19

after that it comes to the part where he says when are the new Han

00:26:19 --> 00:26:24

robber who for Karla be in the Bunnymen early now his his son is

00:26:24 --> 00:26:28

his family in the sense that he is biologically related to him, but

00:26:28 --> 00:26:32

he's is not a good guy. He is not followed. And he sees that he

00:26:32 --> 00:26:34

doesn't want to come on to the boat with them either. He has all

00:26:34 --> 00:26:37

of these excuses. He thinks that he's going to you know, he's seen

00:26:37 --> 00:26:39

floods before he says well, I'll just go to the highest mountain. I

00:26:39 --> 00:26:43

mean, there's no there's no flood that's ever gone to that high. So

00:26:43 --> 00:26:46

you know, I'll escape it I'll just live I'll just basically put the

00:26:46 --> 00:26:50

hatches down live through it. And so know how Islam I mean, at the

00:26:50 --> 00:26:54

end of this just shows this whole tension between you know your

00:26:54 --> 00:26:57

religion sometimes and your beloved, right which could be a

00:26:57 --> 00:27:00

fitna for you so know what Islam actually does call on to his Lord

00:27:00 --> 00:27:05

and he says, Oh my lord my son is from my family and your your you

00:27:05 --> 00:27:09

know your promise is the truth. And you're the best of judges and

00:27:09 --> 00:27:12

Subhanallah Allah subhanaw taala turns when he says called we call

00:27:12 --> 00:27:16

it a new endo les semiotic, you know that he is not from your

00:27:16 --> 00:27:19

family. You might be biologically but your real family is your

00:27:19 --> 00:27:23

religious family in the Hamilton Raido sila is deeds are not very

00:27:23 --> 00:27:29

good. Follow up. And Mr. Lee Celica here l don't ask me don't

00:27:29 --> 00:27:33

request from me that for which you have no knowledge and I warn you

00:27:33 --> 00:27:36

so that you do not become of the unaware people. So immediately

00:27:36 --> 00:27:41

know how to Salaam and this is the believer, you could be pulled by

00:27:41 --> 00:27:44

your emotions, okay? Human beings, you're pulled by your emotions,

00:27:44 --> 00:27:47

you just don't let them get out of hand and there's a boundary for

00:27:47 --> 00:27:51

them. So yes, you're pulled by your emotions, your your hearts

00:27:51 --> 00:27:55

gonna go out for your children, or whoever it is. But at the end of

00:27:55 --> 00:27:58

the day, Allah's commands must reign supreme. So immediately know

00:27:58 --> 00:28:02

Hassan says, Rob be in the Ooby can Allah Kumar Lisa levy here

00:28:02 --> 00:28:06

I'll I seek your refuge that I asked you about something that I

00:28:06 --> 00:28:09

have no knowledge about. And if you do not forgive me and have

00:28:09 --> 00:28:11

mercy on me, then I would be of the losers.

00:28:13 --> 00:28:17

Huge lesson for all of us. Then anyway, that finishes then the

00:28:17 --> 00:28:21

story of who the ALI salaam comes. And again, there's lessons in

00:28:21 --> 00:28:23

there and then how they were destroyed and how there is no

00:28:23 --> 00:28:27

mention of their his people in any positive sense. Then Allah

00:28:27 --> 00:28:31

subhanaw taala talks about the mood and sila howdy Salaam. And

00:28:31 --> 00:28:35

again, the discussion there is about the she camel, right as she

00:28:35 --> 00:28:38

come out that was allowed to that should have been allowed to Rome,

00:28:39 --> 00:28:42

that Allah subhanho wa Taala sent it come out of a mountain and

00:28:42 --> 00:28:45

Allah subhanaw taala Tsin but then they had a problem with it. They

00:28:45 --> 00:28:49

they basically killed it and then the punishment came to them

00:28:49 --> 00:28:54

everybody was destroyed except you know the Saudi Harrison and so on.

00:28:54 --> 00:28:57

Then after that the there's the story of Ibrahim Ali Salam now in

00:28:57 --> 00:29:01

Ibrahim Ali salaam story. We already read about Zachary Ali

00:29:01 --> 00:29:05

salaam story how he got a child at an old age. Right? We learned that

00:29:05 --> 00:29:08

story in Saudi Arabia Imran we already learned that story now

00:29:08 --> 00:29:12

that there's another example of this that at an old age and

00:29:12 --> 00:29:15

advanced stage, at least for us from our perspective, and even

00:29:15 --> 00:29:18

there he says the same thing. And his wife, he says want to climb

00:29:18 --> 00:29:22

with him for the haircut for the Shop Now hubby is hot. We gave her

00:29:22 --> 00:29:26

the glad tidings of his Huck. And she said I am old How can I have a

00:29:26 --> 00:29:27

child?

00:29:28 --> 00:29:33

I'm very very old I just means very old. Right? And then Allah

00:29:33 --> 00:29:38

subhanaw taala is saying right that they told her I use are you

00:29:38 --> 00:29:42

like surprised by Allah's command? Allah is Rama Murthy and so on is

00:29:42 --> 00:29:48

upon you. Anyway, Ibrahim on Islam after the initial kind of shock

00:29:48 --> 00:29:51

and surprise of the visit angels visiting another thing that's told

00:29:51 --> 00:29:54

here in every time you talks about Ibrahim Al Islam in the visitation

00:29:54 --> 00:29:57

of the angels, there's the discussion of him producing some

00:29:57 --> 00:29:59

hospitality, providing some food immediately.

00:30:00 --> 00:30:05

goes and he gets this roasted, you know, it gets a roast. So this is

00:30:05 --> 00:30:08

considered the Sunnah of Ibrahim Hassan to show hospitality. And

00:30:08 --> 00:30:11

the way of hospitality is that when your guests come you don't

00:30:11 --> 00:30:15

say, Will you have some tea? The true hospitality is you just bring

00:30:15 --> 00:30:19

it and you place it, they want to drink it, they drink it, they have

00:30:19 --> 00:30:22

it, they consume it. If they don't, then don't get upset. You

00:30:22 --> 00:30:26

do your part. Now we have many issues here there's some was like,

00:30:26 --> 00:30:28

Do you want something? Do you want something and people are

00:30:28 --> 00:30:32

embarrassed to say they do in many cases, or we bring something and

00:30:32 --> 00:30:33

then they must eat it

00:30:35 --> 00:30:38

they must eat it. And if they don't then some people even swear

00:30:38 --> 00:30:41

enough that their wives that divorce if they don't eat it so

00:30:41 --> 00:30:45

people do some extreme stuff in there are other for for guests as

00:30:45 --> 00:30:49

well. Anyway, then it continues on to loot Allison, I'm sorry, he was

00:30:49 --> 00:30:52

related to Ibrahim Ali Salaam. And there the discussion of his his

00:30:52 --> 00:30:55

guys, when these angels came in the form of young men, the people

00:30:55 --> 00:31:00

who unfortunately, were sodomites they lived in that area. They

00:31:00 --> 00:31:04

wanted to go after the angels and the bride my son gets worried but

00:31:04 --> 00:31:07

they say don't worry about it. In fact, sorry, not everyone in some

00:31:07 --> 00:31:10

looter Islam. You know, in this rush, rush rush for one one hour

00:31:10 --> 00:31:13

one Jews. Sometimes I make mistakes sometimes even the other

00:31:13 --> 00:31:17

day I called a grasshopper I meant and I call it a cat caterpillar.

00:31:17 --> 00:31:22

Right? So I do make these slips of the tongue, and hamdulillah I've

00:31:22 --> 00:31:25

got good friends out there who basically point them out to me. So

00:31:25 --> 00:31:29

where I can I will correct them, especially if they're serious

00:31:29 --> 00:31:32

mistakes and I will correct them in sha Allah. So it's nice to have

00:31:32 --> 00:31:37

people that look after you like that Allah bless them all. So now,

00:31:37 --> 00:31:40

the idea here is that luthiery Salam says he's he's really

00:31:40 --> 00:31:44

worried is perturbed that how, how these are my guests, these are

00:31:44 --> 00:31:47

angels, what's going to happen? So he knows the people right that

00:31:47 --> 00:31:51

they after boys. So he says, These are the girls use them, you know

00:31:51 --> 00:31:56

that this is what they made. This is what is good for you. They say

00:31:56 --> 00:31:58

we have no interest in that. Look at Allium, the Madonna Fibonacci

00:31:58 --> 00:32:03

coming hack verse 79, and so on. Anyway, then again, those people

00:32:03 --> 00:32:06

were destroyed and it talks about how they will destroy the stones

00:32:06 --> 00:32:09

will rain down upon them while I'm talking to ollie him. Hey, Jarrah

00:32:09 --> 00:32:14

min CG lemon dude. Musa Warmoth and they all named as well in the

00:32:14 --> 00:32:18

Arabic everyone was, you know, knew exactly. It was known which

00:32:18 --> 00:32:22

one it was. So they were very smart, smart stones, right in

00:32:22 --> 00:32:24

today's world. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala discusses Shai Valley's

00:32:24 --> 00:32:28

top story now in truth about Islam story, the main talk there is

00:32:28 --> 00:32:31

about economics and not cheating, giving fair trade and then the

00:32:31 --> 00:32:34

whole discussion there quite detail all of these his his people

00:32:34 --> 00:32:38

saying how can we you know, you were like this before us before

00:32:38 --> 00:32:42

and now you've become like this. And does your Quran tell you tell

00:32:42 --> 00:32:43

us that we can't worship?

00:32:44 --> 00:32:47

Sorry, your Salah, does that command us that we can't worship

00:32:47 --> 00:32:51

what our parents used to worship that we must abandon it? And so

00:32:51 --> 00:32:55

on. You're You're the only clever guy in Nica. I mean, this is a

00:32:55 --> 00:32:58

very interesting part in Nicola Antal Halima. He it sounds like

00:32:58 --> 00:33:00

they're praising him. But actually like question that Oh, you're the

00:33:00 --> 00:33:03

only guided person

00:33:04 --> 00:33:09

you're the only guided one your only one who understands this. So

00:33:09 --> 00:33:12

then it carries on and again their destruction is mentioned what am i

00:33:12 --> 00:33:15

I'm gonna Jaina Shall I even well Athena Amma no matter who be Rama

00:33:15 --> 00:33:17

Tina, verse 94.

00:33:19 --> 00:33:21

And that whatever they did, none nothing. You know, whatever the

00:33:21 --> 00:33:25

his people did not nothing of that came to benefit him and they will

00:33:25 --> 00:33:29

also destroy them. The last story is mentioned of Musa alayhis salam

00:33:29 --> 00:33:34

and Pharaoh Pharaoh and the whole tussle between them. And then

00:33:34 --> 00:33:36

there's some really prominent verses that are mentioned here

00:33:36 --> 00:33:42

that I want to look at quickly, because before we move into sort

00:33:42 --> 00:33:46

of the use of a few, a few verses that I want to point out here that

00:33:46 --> 00:33:51

are that you know you can inshallah go and seek more of

00:33:51 --> 00:33:54

Allah subhanaw taala Firstly, I'm going to point out to you verse

00:33:54 --> 00:33:57

15, going back to verse 15 Min, can you read the higher the dunya

00:33:57 --> 00:34:01

was iannetta? Whoever is just interested in whoever wants just

00:34:01 --> 00:34:05

the dunya the life of this world and its adornment pneumophila

00:34:05 --> 00:34:08

environmental fee how well have you heard that your password? You

00:34:08 --> 00:34:10

know, we can provide them that that but they're not going to get

00:34:10 --> 00:34:14

anything out of that. These are the people who have nothing in the

00:34:14 --> 00:34:18

Hellfire except health in nothing in the hereafter except hellfire.

00:34:18 --> 00:34:21

Then we move on to verse

00:34:22 --> 00:34:27

44, which I would spend I could spend one hour speaking about just

00:34:27 --> 00:34:32

this one verse, which is verse 44, Wakita Yeah, or Dubilier EMA key

00:34:32 --> 00:34:36

were summer are clearly while the dolmar who were called the el amor

00:34:36 --> 00:34:39

was still at Al Judi working elaborate a little call with

00:34:39 --> 00:34:43

volume in this. Just one verse of 20 Something words is considered

00:34:43 --> 00:34:47

to be one of the most effectively eloquent verses that just have

00:34:48 --> 00:34:53

blown blown, you know, blown away the most eloquent individuals in

00:34:53 --> 00:34:53

our history,

00:34:55 --> 00:34:58

including the sister of him roll case, right and the numerous other

00:34:58 --> 00:34:59

people of that time then

00:35:00 --> 00:35:04

Some other really smart, eloquent individuals who knew the blog and

00:35:04 --> 00:35:08

the effective speeching when they heard this verse, like, wow, it's

00:35:08 --> 00:35:11

got so many different techniques in there, even though the words

00:35:11 --> 00:35:15

used are the simplest words that you can have. Right? So again,

00:35:15 --> 00:35:18

you'd have to further Obama if they want. There's lots of books

00:35:18 --> 00:35:21

written on the in the Bulaga books. But there's, if you want to

00:35:21 --> 00:35:25

just look at NASA fees medallic, he's got a really good discussion,

00:35:25 --> 00:35:28

unraveling and unpacking all of that, the NASA fees medallic

00:35:28 --> 00:35:31

explains very well, number of other TF series as well do well as

00:35:31 --> 00:35:33

well. Then

00:35:35 --> 00:35:41

another verse that I want to point out was, verse 102 104, towards

00:35:41 --> 00:35:44

the end, which talks about where Allah subhanaw taala when he wants

00:35:44 --> 00:35:48

to pick out two people and sees them, he will, he will do it,

00:35:48 --> 00:35:53

right. And then the whole part is to be read, which we don't have

00:35:53 --> 00:35:56

too much time to do. But the idea is that talking about them, the

00:35:56 --> 00:36:00

Day of Judgment is a very prominent verses here, versus

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

106 107, for a militina Shaco 15. Now, now discussing the result of

00:36:07 --> 00:36:09

the world and then the hereafter, those who have been wretched in

00:36:09 --> 00:36:12

the Hereafter, they're going to be in the hellfire, and they're going

00:36:12 --> 00:36:16

to remain there forever and so on. But what a Molina saw you do is

00:36:16 --> 00:36:21

very interesting, verse 108, those who will be fortunate. This means

00:36:21 --> 00:36:23

fortunate those will be successful they're going to be in the

00:36:23 --> 00:36:27

gardens. They're in forever as long as the heavens and the earth

00:36:27 --> 00:36:32

subsist in LA Masha Allah, Allah Masha Allah book until you know

00:36:32 --> 00:36:37

except whatever your Lord wills are tall and Hiram Ruth. Now

00:36:37 --> 00:36:40

that's if you unpack just those words Arthur and Ray, Ramesh Ruth.

00:36:41 --> 00:36:44

This is a gift from Allah giving from Allah subhanho wa taala,

00:36:44 --> 00:36:50

which is endless, right? And because these people used to give

00:36:50 --> 00:36:53

in the world, they will now be giving they were kind, generous

00:36:53 --> 00:36:57

souls, they would give for the sake of Allah, they would give

00:36:57 --> 00:37:01

their time they would give their love, they would give their

00:37:01 --> 00:37:05

wealth, Allah subhanaw taala is going to give them in an unending

00:37:05 --> 00:37:09

giving, right? And again, that takes much longer to unpack there.

00:37:09 --> 00:37:11

Then Allah subhanho wa Taala says,

00:37:12 --> 00:37:18

verse 112, this is the verse which this surah is been is known for,

00:37:19 --> 00:37:21

in a hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,

00:37:22 --> 00:37:25

somebody saw a bit of white on the Prophet sallallahu samsam Sahaba.

00:37:25 --> 00:37:31

They said, we see that you are growing older, that old message is

00:37:31 --> 00:37:33

catching up. So you know what the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, he

00:37:33 --> 00:37:40

said, No, I, this has happened. This old age, this aging rather,

00:37:40 --> 00:37:46

is come about because of hood. And it's sisters. Its sister Suris. So

00:37:46 --> 00:37:49

what do you mean by houden? Sister surah? Is what which part of the

00:37:49 --> 00:37:52

surah? I mean, there's very similar things to other stories.

00:37:52 --> 00:37:56

But no, there's one verse in here, and that is verse 112, the verse

00:37:56 --> 00:38:02

of St. Karma, first came come, or Maratha woman, by America Wella

00:38:02 --> 00:38:06

Tato, in whom we met Mr. Luna, bossy,

00:38:07 --> 00:38:12

remain steadfast as you have been commanded, remain steadfast as you

00:38:12 --> 00:38:16

have been ordered. And that is one of the most difficult things I

00:38:16 --> 00:38:20

mean, if you read up on the concept of stay calm, which means

00:38:20 --> 00:38:21

steadfastness.

00:38:23 --> 00:38:27

Essentially, if somebody does become steadfast, it means that

00:38:27 --> 00:38:30

they have a Kurama a miracle of divine favor. That is the greatest

00:38:30 --> 00:38:34

karama somebody walks through the air. If somebody

00:38:35 --> 00:38:36

is able to

00:38:37 --> 00:38:40

basically be protected from a

00:38:41 --> 00:38:46

burst of bullets. That's a Kurama. But the real Kurama is day in and

00:38:46 --> 00:38:51

day out, moment after moment. They're on the path of

00:38:52 --> 00:38:55

steadfastness, steadfastness, links to everything essentially,

00:38:56 --> 00:38:59

right, steadfastness, links to everything. That what that

00:38:59 --> 00:39:01

basically means is

00:39:02 --> 00:39:06

a person in their aka in their beliefs, they absolutely not on

00:39:06 --> 00:39:10

this extreme, not under extreme. Right. They're not overdoing the

00:39:10 --> 00:39:12

attributes of Allah. They're not overthinking the Prophet

00:39:12 --> 00:39:15

sallallahu alayhi salam, putting him where he's not, and they're

00:39:15 --> 00:39:18

not diminishing him. Likewise, in terms of the archaea, they've got

00:39:18 --> 00:39:21

full understanding in terms of the HELOC and character they don't

00:39:21 --> 00:39:24

have shortcomings. They don't have excesses. They're perfectly

00:39:24 --> 00:39:27

moderated as far as possible. It with equilibrium in their

00:39:27 --> 00:39:34

character, in their behavior, in what they do in their daily daily

00:39:34 --> 00:39:38

rituals. They don't go overboard. Right? It's the karma and to stay

00:39:38 --> 00:39:42

fast, and to be life. Stop him say, I believe in Allah and then

00:39:42 --> 00:39:45

just stay fast. That's your job. If anybody can do that. There's

00:39:45 --> 00:39:49

not as many people you know, who can do it as far as possible, but

00:39:49 --> 00:39:53

those who can then that is the greatest Kurama and one of the

00:39:53 --> 00:39:56

reason why it's a karama, it's a miracle of divine favor is because

00:39:56 --> 00:39:58

the person who is going to do that is generally going to be assisted

00:39:58 --> 00:40:00

by Allah. He is going to

00:40:00 --> 00:40:03

Be a weenie of Allah. And when you look at the sahih, Hadith Buhari,

00:40:03 --> 00:40:06

etc, where it says that the people who've made a huge effort in the

00:40:06 --> 00:40:11

Fatah and then the Noah, Phil, they've become so close to Allah,

00:40:11 --> 00:40:14

then Allah becomes the hands by which they touch the feet by which

00:40:14 --> 00:40:17

they walked eyes why which they see, basically, they're now being

00:40:17 --> 00:40:19

divinely guided. It's only a person like that who can do is

00:40:19 --> 00:40:23

stay calm, we ask Allah to make us like that. But that is that

00:40:23 --> 00:40:28

prominent verse of this surah, which is has been had that effect

00:40:28 --> 00:40:30

even on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.

00:40:31 --> 00:40:34

With all the concerns of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, you

00:40:34 --> 00:40:39

only had about 20 or so white hairs, right? And then he says in

00:40:39 --> 00:40:42

this hadith that it was actually due to the surah not even due to

00:40:42 --> 00:40:45

the worldly issues, because the Tawakkol was so great when he got

00:40:45 --> 00:40:48

so much Tawakkol there's no stress, right? And stress is what

00:40:48 --> 00:40:52

brings all of this stuff on. And then in verse, another one I want

00:40:52 --> 00:40:55

to point out is verse 114, where Hakim is Salah to Torah, fine.

00:40:55 --> 00:40:59

Nihar was sort of a middle lane, two ends of the day established

00:40:59 --> 00:41:02

prayer, and also part of the night, all the good deeds, the

00:41:02 --> 00:41:05

good deeds, they will remove your bad deeds, there's a constant

00:41:05 --> 00:41:08

washing going on. When you do good deeds, especially the prayer was

00:41:08 --> 00:41:11

better. And always the concept of sober, be patient, solid and

00:41:11 --> 00:41:16

solid, solid and somebody's always mentioned. Then in verse 116, is

00:41:16 --> 00:41:20

the discussion about again, Nahanni munkar. stop people from

00:41:20 --> 00:41:24

doing wrong stop people from doing wrong. And one of the reflection

00:41:24 --> 00:41:27

this is all kinds of reflections end of the surah after all those

00:41:27 --> 00:41:31

stories mentioned, right of the five, six prophets, Allah has then

00:41:31 --> 00:41:34

send that from those people of the past, had there been could there

00:41:34 --> 00:41:37

not have been a small amount of people who would have stopped

00:41:37 --> 00:41:40

people from the corruption in the world. There wasn't too many

00:41:40 --> 00:41:43

people. And that's why a lot of this punishment came because if

00:41:43 --> 00:41:47

there were they would not have been so bad is when you join the

00:41:47 --> 00:41:51

bandwagon with everybody else. May Allah not be guilty of not let us

00:41:51 --> 00:41:55

be guilty of that crime. That's why Allah says Wanaka and Rob Buka

00:41:55 --> 00:41:58

Leo helical Cora, this is something to write. And remember

00:41:58 --> 00:42:04

for us, verse 117, Allah is not one to destroy a certain area

00:42:04 --> 00:42:08

because of an oppression as long as the people they are trying to

00:42:08 --> 00:42:09

reform.

00:42:10 --> 00:42:14

That's why we need to try to constantly be of those who try to

00:42:14 --> 00:42:17

reform ourselves and others and inshallah that will keep the

00:42:17 --> 00:42:20

punishment away, even though there's evil people around. That's

00:42:20 --> 00:42:25

why I really put this verse down, right? In your notebooks. 117

00:42:25 --> 00:42:27

very, very important.

00:42:29 --> 00:42:32

And Allah finally gives the reason of telling us the stories in verse

00:42:32 --> 00:42:36

120 we're calling an apostle Allah, you come in amber, Rosalie

00:42:36 --> 00:42:40

man with a b2b for other, why are we telling you the stories one is

00:42:40 --> 00:42:44

to obviously for people to reflect on, we tell you the stories of the

00:42:44 --> 00:42:50

prophets. But the reason is to strengthen your heart. Northup b2b

00:42:50 --> 00:42:52

for the we strengthen your hardware and because when you

00:42:52 --> 00:42:55

know, okay, that's fine happened to Albany makes a big difference

00:42:55 --> 00:42:58

to me, you know, when you get a certain attack or somebody does

00:42:58 --> 00:43:02

something crazy and all the eyes come on to Muslims and you feel

00:43:02 --> 00:43:06

like oh, man, you know, now what, and then you read some of this and

00:43:06 --> 00:43:09

you think, okay, as long as I keep trying my best for the sake of

00:43:09 --> 00:43:13

Allah, then I'm going to be successful, in terms of Allah in

00:43:13 --> 00:43:16

the hereafter. Weduc if you have the ill health, we're more either

00:43:16 --> 00:43:21

to medical meaning and for you in this has come the truth and advice

00:43:21 --> 00:43:25

and counsel and a reminder for the believers. Then finally, Allah

00:43:25 --> 00:43:31

subhanho wa Taala he ends this verse 100 And this chapter 123

00:43:31 --> 00:43:35

verse where Allah He labels somehow it without, for Allah is

00:43:35 --> 00:43:37

the unseen,

00:43:38 --> 00:43:41

everything unseen of the heavens and earth, and every matter

00:43:41 --> 00:43:43

returns to Him for abode who

00:43:44 --> 00:43:49

worship Him, whatever color they just rely on Him, to rely on him.

00:43:50 --> 00:43:52

And you will your Lord is not unaware of what you do.

00:43:54 --> 00:43:57

And by that, we

00:43:59 --> 00:44:02

and this surah and we begin sort of use of

00:44:03 --> 00:44:07

now a lot of sort of use of we can discuss inshallah tomorrow, but we

00:44:07 --> 00:44:11

at least begin the surah use of here, quite a few verses of Surah

00:44:11 --> 00:44:15

to use of in this chapter before the 13th chapter begins is 52

00:44:15 --> 00:44:21

verses of Surah use of in the 12 chapters. Now, so the use of is a

00:44:21 --> 00:44:25

mucky, Surah as well, it doesn't have too many commands, like

00:44:25 --> 00:44:29

direct commands, it's got a lot of commands that you can derive from

00:44:29 --> 00:44:32

there, but not direct commands, because it's a story and there's a

00:44:32 --> 00:44:36

lot to be learned from this story. It's a has 111 verses. It's a

00:44:36 --> 00:44:41

relatively large surah. And it has 12 sections, 12 thematic sections,

00:44:41 --> 00:44:46

and because it's called because it has the story of use of Ali

00:44:46 --> 00:44:50

salaam, that's why it's called. So that use of the previous Surah had

00:44:50 --> 00:44:53

many stories of five or six prophets, but it was called Seward

00:44:53 --> 00:44:56

hood because that's where the prominent sort of solitude is

00:44:56 --> 00:44:58

mentioned. He decided to call it solitude there, but here is sort

00:44:58 --> 00:45:00

of use of exclusive

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

It's about use of Arsenal. And literally it's a narrative. Unlike

00:45:05 --> 00:45:09

the other stories of the Quran, which are repeated throughout,

00:45:09 --> 00:45:13

with bits of information added in other places, or a different way

00:45:13 --> 00:45:16

of telling them wording is different. No two places are the

00:45:16 --> 00:45:21

same for ourselves Maria Benny, sorry, Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:45:21 --> 00:45:26

says what birth Phil mother in her Shireen What are still feel mother

00:45:26 --> 00:45:30

me. So constantly this wording changes when talking about Musa

00:45:30 --> 00:45:33

and Pharaoh story, there are additional points, additional

00:45:33 --> 00:45:37

guidances additional lessons. So they're not never that two stories

00:45:37 --> 00:45:40

the same, right? There's always a bit different. And the point is

00:45:40 --> 00:45:43

that if it doesn't affect you here, when you read it here, you

00:45:43 --> 00:45:48

may be in a moment in an emotional state when you read it in the next

00:45:48 --> 00:45:52

juice or in in the next instance, and that will affect you there. So

00:45:52 --> 00:45:55

that's the purpose is not to just you're never gonna go back to that

00:45:55 --> 00:45:57

story again, no, you as you read through the Quran, you're going to

00:45:57 --> 00:46:02

come up with those very important lessons from the stories but with

00:46:02 --> 00:46:06

sort of use of there is no repetition, his story. While he's

00:46:06 --> 00:46:10

mentioned in other places, in a few other places, his story is not

00:46:10 --> 00:46:12

repeated in any other place.

00:46:13 --> 00:46:19

It's only mentioned here. So while there is no repetition, right in

00:46:19 --> 00:46:22

the story of use of it some it's only here, there's repetition in

00:46:22 --> 00:46:24

other people's stories, I've already explained to you the

00:46:24 --> 00:46:29

benefits of that, right that its has its own style, the Quran has

00:46:29 --> 00:46:34

its own style. With the use of though it's literally a story in

00:46:34 --> 00:46:39

order. So it starts off from his young age, and the dream. And then

00:46:39 --> 00:46:42

and it goes right in order. There's no movement from here or

00:46:42 --> 00:46:46

there. It's in one order until finally, his parents eventually

00:46:46 --> 00:46:51

come to Egypt. And, you know, that becomes that links up with the

00:46:51 --> 00:46:54

beginning of the Surah, that becomes a realisation of the dream

00:46:54 --> 00:46:58

that was seen at the beginning by him at a young age. And then after

00:46:58 --> 00:47:03

that, at the end is a few from use of Assam himself, there's a few

00:47:03 --> 00:47:07

reflections of his right. There's a few reflections of it. And then

00:47:07 --> 00:47:12

after that, there's like just a summary of some of the purposes or

00:47:12 --> 00:47:17

whatever but from Allah subhanaw taala telling us why the stories

00:47:17 --> 00:47:21

are told and these, these nations are past and so on. Now,

00:47:22 --> 00:47:28

sort of the use of it says na na na ko Sorella Arsenal cos RC Bhima

00:47:29 --> 00:47:31

Oh, hyena Isla Yuka

00:47:33 --> 00:47:39

what you call them you commonly heal Amina noir feeling, we're

00:47:39 --> 00:47:42

going to tell you the best of stories, the most excellent of

00:47:42 --> 00:47:43

stories.

00:47:44 --> 00:47:49

How is how is so the use of the most excellent of stories? For

00:47:49 --> 00:47:56

many, many reasons. It is full of so many different aspects to

00:47:56 --> 00:48:01

benefit us. Right. So where it has lessons, it has advices

00:48:02 --> 00:48:06

probably no other single story has so many things all in one place.

00:48:07 --> 00:48:11

No other story in the Quran has so many things all in one place. So

00:48:12 --> 00:48:16

it's so comprehensive, right? That it discusses the following. And

00:48:16 --> 00:48:18

you can look for these because we're not going to go into detail

00:48:18 --> 00:48:21

here. And one of the things about Surah Yusuf is there is no point

00:48:21 --> 00:48:25

going into detail in the entire story because most people down to

00:48:25 --> 00:48:28

the children know the story of use of Elisa, it's a biblical story,

00:48:28 --> 00:48:32

except that in the in the biblical version, he had a special coat,

00:48:33 --> 00:48:35

and that's what people are jealous about. Right? Whereas in the

00:48:35 --> 00:48:38

Quran, it's, it's a different thing. And we'll I'll explain

00:48:38 --> 00:48:41

that. But anyway, these are all the different contrasting ideas

00:48:41 --> 00:48:44

that are found in sort of use of that Inshallah, if you write down,

00:48:44 --> 00:48:46

you're going to look for them, when you read it for yourself in

00:48:46 --> 00:48:51

sha Allah. So in there you find discussion of the deen also the

00:48:51 --> 00:48:54

dunya you will find the discussion of Tauheed Oneness of Allah the

00:48:54 --> 00:48:59

thicker and you find different jurisprudence in there. Right. You

00:48:59 --> 00:49:03

find a Syrah in the eye of the Prophet you find a biography in

00:49:03 --> 00:49:08

there, you find a discussion on dreams. SubhanAllah. Right. You

00:49:08 --> 00:49:10

find politics, you find

00:49:11 --> 00:49:16

command and rule. There's the significations towards that then

00:49:16 --> 00:49:20

there's a lot of emotion in there. Like if you want to emotional

00:49:20 --> 00:49:26

story, the emotions of use of Ali Salaam and the ice is party for

00:49:26 --> 00:49:31

his wife and so on is a lot of emotional ideas in there. There is

00:49:31 --> 00:49:36

discussion of the social scene. There's discussion of wealth,

00:49:36 --> 00:49:38

there's discussion of, of

00:49:40 --> 00:49:44

difficulty of drought, there's there's beauty disgusting. It's

00:49:44 --> 00:49:47

got a aesthetic. There's beauty use of it, some being the most

00:49:47 --> 00:49:50

beautiful people falling for him. There's the discussion of love and

00:49:50 --> 00:49:55

fish. Right. You know, people, there's that discussion, there's

00:49:55 --> 00:49:58

the discussion of abstinence from the world of Taqwa.

00:50:00 --> 00:50:05

Have its righteous people. Shaytan is mentioned in the humans

00:50:05 --> 00:50:09

obviously mentioned animal mentioned in the vegetation.

00:50:10 --> 00:50:14

Leaders, Kings business people are mentioned in there, those traders

00:50:14 --> 00:50:19

who picked him up and sold him, the knowledgeable ones, the

00:50:19 --> 00:50:24

ignorant ones, you know, that kind of idea is there Subhanallah, then

00:50:24 --> 00:50:28

it's got discussions of the women folk, right, a certain mindset

00:50:28 --> 00:50:31

from the women fault, their discussions between themselves.

00:50:33 --> 00:50:38

And, you know, being impressed by by by beauty, and all of that.

00:50:38 --> 00:50:42

There's also a discussion in there of just wanting to go into

00:50:42 --> 00:50:47

isolation, to be known. There's obviously the discussion of being

00:50:47 --> 00:50:51

becoming well known, becoming a stranger, being banished from your

00:50:51 --> 00:50:51

city,

00:50:52 --> 00:50:59

without having to leave. There's wealth on sober, patience,

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

firmness, and desire. So all of these emotions are in there. And

00:51:06 --> 00:51:09

you know why? Again, another reason why it's asset classes

00:51:09 --> 00:51:11

Quran could mean so many things Allah could mean anything by asset

00:51:11 --> 00:51:14

classes. When is that from that literary perspective, as we just

00:51:14 --> 00:51:16

explained, he's got everything that makes a good story,

00:51:17 --> 00:51:21

everything, constant movement, so many things, right. But also

00:51:21 --> 00:51:25

another thing is that it provides a really good parallel to the time

00:51:25 --> 00:51:26

of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for the Prophet

00:51:26 --> 00:51:29

sallallahu himself, in fact, because there's a number of

00:51:30 --> 00:51:33

parallels with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So

00:51:33 --> 00:51:37

number one, while it was the brothers of use of Alexander had

00:51:37 --> 00:51:40

jealousy for the Prophet salallahu Salam, he was his quota she

00:51:40 --> 00:51:42

brothers, right that they

00:51:43 --> 00:51:46

had problems in including his uncle and so on. Right.

00:51:47 --> 00:51:52

Then, just as here to leave the use of it, some had to leave and

00:51:52 --> 00:51:55

go to another area, right. Likewise, the Prophet sallallahu

00:51:55 --> 00:51:58

alayhi wa sallam had to leave, like he had to stay in the well

00:51:58 --> 00:52:02

the Prophet sallahu Some stayed in our throat, right to hide.

00:52:03 --> 00:52:08

Allahu Akbar, he had to go to Madina, Munawwara and use of Islam

00:52:08 --> 00:52:11

had to go through difficulties there before he became the leader.

00:52:11 --> 00:52:13

He had to stay in prison for seven years or whatever. And then he

00:52:13 --> 00:52:17

became a marshal at the commander, the leader or actually not

00:52:17 --> 00:52:21

commander, but the one in charge of the the food and distribution,

00:52:21 --> 00:52:24

other affairs, the prophets, Allah has also had to go through a lot

00:52:24 --> 00:52:26

of suffering until he had the conquest of Makkah and he got what

00:52:26 --> 00:52:28

he you know, he got the leadership there.

00:52:30 --> 00:52:33

And then Subhanallah another parallel is just the way when the

00:52:33 --> 00:52:37

same people who thrown use of Isilon did what they did. They are

00:52:37 --> 00:52:42

then identified and they identify him and he lets them go, let the

00:52:42 --> 00:52:45

three body conium y'all federal law, hula calm. And the prophets

00:52:45 --> 00:52:48

Allah Islam does the same thing afterwards. In fact, he remembers

00:52:48 --> 00:52:51

use of Ali salaam after the conquest of Makkah, where they

00:52:51 --> 00:52:54

say, What are you going to do to us? He says, Well, I'm going to do

00:52:54 --> 00:52:58

exactly what my brother uses, did with his brothers, go unto Mottola

00:52:58 --> 00:53:02

car, you're free today, you're you know, you're free today. Nothing

00:53:02 --> 00:53:06

upon you. So there's a lot of similarities. As I mentioned,

00:53:06 --> 00:53:10

there's no real need to go into the story in depth because if you

00:53:10 --> 00:53:13

just read the translation, you will get the story. Of course

00:53:13 --> 00:53:18

there's lots of good books written on the juicy additional details a

00:53:18 --> 00:53:21

lot from Israel, Israel light sources that give you a lot of

00:53:21 --> 00:53:25

additional details and a lot of analysis, right you can find them

00:53:25 --> 00:53:27

in other books. I think one of our teachers more than abdur-rahim has

00:53:27 --> 00:53:30

a book on the Tafseer of Syracuse is one of his first books actually

00:53:30 --> 00:53:34

on that and that has a lot of mashallah good it's based on it

00:53:34 --> 00:53:37

I've seen it's got a lot of good information on there, right for

00:53:37 --> 00:53:40

the English speaking people, they can look that and of course, if

00:53:40 --> 00:53:44

you look into the F series or for the for the Arabic understanding

00:53:44 --> 00:53:49

people, they can look in Kossel Ambia or PESA sunnah been able to

00:53:49 --> 00:53:52

Kathy's work, lots of discussion in the lots of additional idea,

00:53:52 --> 00:53:55

one of the most comprehensive books on the Stories of the

00:53:55 --> 00:53:58

Prophets was written in order to write taking from different

00:53:58 --> 00:54:02

sources and Ebuka theory etc is by Herodotus Monona Hills the Romans

00:54:02 --> 00:54:06

you hurry right recall the Casa Sol Quran, right? Unfortunately,

00:54:06 --> 00:54:10

there is a English translation is not that good. Somebody could do a

00:54:10 --> 00:54:12

really good job on that he takes from biblical source, he does a

00:54:12 --> 00:54:15

lot of analysis that will reconciliation. And it's a really

00:54:15 --> 00:54:20

good really detailed work. So essentially, just to kind of talk

00:54:20 --> 00:54:24

just just to give a summary. Just to refresh people's minds about

00:54:24 --> 00:54:29

the story here. The story starts off with Iacobelli Salam he had 12

00:54:29 --> 00:54:32

children right, mashallah troll children use of Ali Salam was

00:54:32 --> 00:54:37

extremely handsome. Like he just has this awesome, just basically

00:54:38 --> 00:54:43

face turning just very attractive, right. And they say that, you

00:54:43 --> 00:54:49

know, your mazing hustle, which continues to feature number two,

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

not just that. It looks like his behavior was really good as well.

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

And he was one of the youngest him and his brother Binyamin from

00:54:57 --> 00:54:59

different mother, different wife who Jacoba Islam and they were the

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

young

00:55:00 --> 00:55:05

against. And so he was not just built for, you know, he's built

00:55:05 --> 00:55:09

for multiple reasons. Apparently, there's this idea that the

00:55:09 --> 00:55:13

youngest child is the most beloved always, until they grow up. So

00:55:13 --> 00:55:16

your oldest child will be the most beloved until the next one comes

00:55:16 --> 00:55:18

along, and so on. There's always that part of it. But then

00:55:18 --> 00:55:21

sometimes an older child will also remain more beloved if they've got

00:55:21 --> 00:55:25

certain qualities. Okay? So gee, how if you are children out there

00:55:25 --> 00:55:28

have parents which we all are right, then there is a way that

00:55:28 --> 00:55:31

you can even you can still become more beloved even if the oldest

00:55:31 --> 00:55:35

child anyway, apparently his mother had passed away as well.

00:55:35 --> 00:55:38

That could be another reason why there was a lot of love focused on

00:55:38 --> 00:55:41

there. And of course, there's the natural inclination towards the

00:55:41 --> 00:55:44

youngest. So Hasson, for example, has some of the Allahu Anhu

00:55:46 --> 00:55:49

the Prophet sallallahu, his grandson, he was asked

00:55:51 --> 00:55:56

his his, his daughter was actually asked that which of your children

00:55:56 --> 00:56:01

do you love the most? So the response they gave us, the

00:56:01 --> 00:56:06

youngest one, until they grow older, the absent one until he

00:56:06 --> 00:56:06

comes back,

00:56:07 --> 00:56:09

and the sick one until they get better.

00:56:11 --> 00:56:13

Very interesting, it's just emotion human emotion. If you're

00:56:13 --> 00:56:16

one of your children gets sick, then you're all your attention is

00:56:16 --> 00:56:18

gonna go there until they get better, then it becomes like

00:56:18 --> 00:56:21

everybody else. Others might get jealous in that case, right? And

00:56:21 --> 00:56:26

so on. So anyway, but because of that, this caused an issue. And of

00:56:26 --> 00:56:28

course, he's destined to be a prophet among one of his brothers,

00:56:29 --> 00:56:33

right out of what he wrote. So he sees a dream and dreams Mashallah.

00:56:33 --> 00:56:35

So the emphasis of dreams at the beginning sees the dream tells his

00:56:35 --> 00:56:38

father about the dream, Father says make sure you don't tell

00:56:38 --> 00:56:41

because his father knows. Right? So he says, Don't tell the dream

00:56:41 --> 00:56:44

to your brother. Anyway, the story is that they were jealous of him.

00:56:44 --> 00:56:47

And eventually they saw that if they want more love to be directed

00:56:47 --> 00:56:50

at them, they must get rid of use of varicella. So then they say

00:56:50 --> 00:56:53

okay, let's just kill him. But mashallah one of them one of the

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

brothers said No, don't kill him let's just throw him into a well

00:56:56 --> 00:56:58

or something somebody will pick him up we'll we will, you know, we

00:56:58 --> 00:57:01

won't have to worry about that. And lots of story then the whole

00:57:01 --> 00:57:02

story of

00:57:03 --> 00:57:07

them coming back making excuse bringing the blood of sheep or

00:57:07 --> 00:57:10

something on his clothing, saying that we went to running he was

00:57:10 --> 00:57:13

looking after our stuff eventually. Mashallah. It's a

00:57:13 --> 00:57:17

Yarra right. There was a caravan of traders passing by they went

00:57:17 --> 00:57:21

for water they pulled out use of Ali Salam mashallah how use of

00:57:21 --> 00:57:24

Elisa would have even survived the fall into the into the thing is

00:57:24 --> 00:57:27

their stories about how Gibreel Isom swooped down and basically

00:57:27 --> 00:57:29

saved him. There's lots of additional stories which we don't

00:57:29 --> 00:57:34

have time to go into. But anyway, he gets eventually taken to Egypt,

00:57:34 --> 00:57:37

which is going to be the place where he's going to shine shine.

00:57:37 --> 00:57:40

Right and which marshal all Egyptians today, soon as you enter

00:57:40 --> 00:57:45

the city enter the country of the customs. It's it's there about

00:57:46 --> 00:57:51

the verse which says when when what are other way he or she will

00:57:51 --> 00:57:55

have rules to Jeddah Wakata Yeah, but you have that we are in Kabul,

00:57:55 --> 00:57:56

actually no further Medaka

00:57:58 --> 00:58:03

away, we'll call it hello Misra in sha Allah Who meaning much are the

00:58:03 --> 00:58:07

Egyptians are very proud of that. Right of that, of that heritage of

00:58:07 --> 00:58:12

this anyway. So the point is now that this trade caravan takes him

00:58:12 --> 00:58:17

to Egypt sells him and he's bought by the Aziz of missile right he's

00:58:17 --> 00:58:20

not the king but he's the Aziz have missed them. And then he

00:58:20 --> 00:58:24

becomes older when he gets older his mashallah his handsomeness

00:58:24 --> 00:58:30

just increases, multi people, you know, many fold, and his, the wife

00:58:30 --> 00:58:34

of the Aziz becomes infatuated with him, tries to seduce him, and

00:58:34 --> 00:58:37

then the whole story that takes place, and it locks him in a room

00:58:37 --> 00:58:40

tries to seduce him, but he runs towards it even though he knows

00:58:40 --> 00:58:43

it's locked. I mean, what are you going to do? That's why what we

00:58:43 --> 00:58:46

learned from that is that you try to do what you can so he runs to

00:58:46 --> 00:58:48

the door though he had like, I don't know how many locks on their

00:58:48 --> 00:58:53

machine they opened up, right? And he got out and now they she tore

00:58:53 --> 00:58:57

his garment from the back now the she blames him so the whole story

00:58:57 --> 00:59:01

is that this little child now Allah provides a miracle a little

00:59:01 --> 00:59:05

child speaks that okay, depends on where the comics is torn from was

00:59:05 --> 00:59:08

torn from the front he's to blame the stone from the back she's to

00:59:08 --> 00:59:11

blame because it means he's running go and she grabbed him

00:59:11 --> 00:59:13

from the back then it turns out obviously that it was torn from

00:59:14 --> 00:59:18

the from from the back. So then in order to just avoid the

00:59:18 --> 00:59:21

controversy, and you know, the the embarrassment, everything use

00:59:21 --> 00:59:24

about Islam was put into the prison, mashallah down there, that

00:59:24 --> 00:59:28

was a he was continued doing his that will work there. He's

00:59:28 --> 00:59:31

reforming people, it seems. And then the story continues until the

00:59:31 --> 00:59:37

King sees a dream in which he sees the seven by seven cones, and so

00:59:37 --> 00:59:41

on. The whole discussion is there and he wants a interpretation for

00:59:41 --> 00:59:44

it. Nobody there is able to provide interpretation. This guy,

00:59:44 --> 00:59:47

one of the prisoners who's who had had an interaction with use of

00:59:47 --> 00:59:51

Arizona had helped them with their dreams in the prison. Now he

00:59:51 --> 00:59:54

remembers a hey, I know somebody in prison. So he says, let me go

00:59:54 --> 00:59:57

back and talk to him. He goes back usually some tells him the meaning

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

of the dream and also tells him what to do.

01:00:00 --> 01:00:03

to write because there's going to be seven years of drought that are

01:00:03 --> 01:00:08

going to come. So he's telling him how to preserve the staple foods

01:00:08 --> 01:00:11

of the time so that they can benefit from it later it goes back

01:00:11 --> 01:00:14

my show, The king says, Yeah, you need to bring him out. But usually

01:00:14 --> 01:00:16

something I'm not going to come out yet. I don't want to come out

01:00:16 --> 01:00:20

as a favor. I want to come up because I should be exonerated and

01:00:20 --> 01:00:24

freed. So this is gonna ask those women that you know, that

01:00:24 --> 01:00:27

basically put this slander so the mashallah that time became very

01:00:27 --> 01:00:32

clear, I'll earn a hassle Huck, another hour to an NFC, I am the

01:00:32 --> 01:00:35

one who actually tried to seduce him and he was actually in the

01:00:35 --> 01:00:39

clear, and then after that, the story continues, which inshallah

01:00:39 --> 01:00:42

we will look at tomorrow. But really, when you read it slowly,

01:00:42 --> 01:00:45

with a new you, you live with the emotion, the emotions of the

01:00:45 --> 01:00:49

alcoholism, crying, wishing for his children to come back, not

01:00:49 --> 01:00:53

giving up hope. There's just so much for what to Amory Illallah

01:00:53 --> 01:00:57

debacle to Allah, Allah, and there's so many other things, so

01:00:57 --> 01:01:00

that inshallah will continue tomorrow, but I'll also let you

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

read it. Just to quickly summarize Surratt hood starts off

01:01:08 --> 01:01:11

with Allah subhanho wa Taala has greatness being mentioned and how

01:01:11 --> 01:01:15

he's in charge of everything and other deli de la L and proof of

01:01:15 --> 01:01:20

his oneness. Then Allah subhanahu wa Tada provides another challenge

01:01:20 --> 01:01:23

of bringing or provides the challenge of telling them to

01:01:23 --> 01:01:28

provide bring 10 sources like the Quran or one surah.

01:01:29 --> 01:01:33

Then there's the story of Noah Hawley Salam. And, you know, we've

01:01:33 --> 01:01:37

been through that. This is, as I said, one of the longest coverages

01:01:37 --> 01:01:40

of the story of Noah Hawley Salam is found here, even though he's

01:01:40 --> 01:01:44

mentioned in so many other places, and his story is mentioned briefly

01:01:44 --> 01:01:49

in other places, then the story of Noah Halle salaam, and his issue

01:01:49 --> 01:01:53

with the peace of his heart, his child, and how he had to let him

01:01:53 --> 01:01:57

go, for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala. Of course, his wife, when

01:01:57 --> 01:02:02

as well his wife was destroyed as well. Then we learn about in the

01:02:02 --> 01:02:05

story of who that is salaam, if you look there, it's about estafa

01:02:06 --> 01:02:10

stick is still seek forgiveness, and inshallah that that way, you

01:02:10 --> 01:02:13

will gain more strength, both spiritual and physical strength,

01:02:13 --> 01:02:17

inshallah. And then we have discussion of Sabah and Tawakkol.

01:02:18 --> 01:02:19

Again, in hudl, Islam story.

01:02:21 --> 01:02:23

What you learn from all of these stories, what we learned is that

01:02:23 --> 01:02:27

how much each of these prophets were willing to go how far they

01:02:27 --> 01:02:30

were willing to go for their people, bending over backwards to

01:02:30 --> 01:02:33

accommodate as far as possible, but not you know, beyond their

01:02:33 --> 01:02:37

principles, and their compassion and so on. But nothing, nothing

01:02:37 --> 01:02:41

worked. Right, and these people, they just didn't learn then in

01:02:41 --> 01:02:43

shrubbery salaams, we understand the economic side of things and

01:02:43 --> 01:02:47

fairness. Then, of course, there's the story of Musa alayhis, Salam

01:02:47 --> 01:02:51

and Pharaoh, and then there's the discussions of the Day of

01:02:51 --> 01:02:56

Judgment, Paradise and hellfire, ending of the fortunate, and the

01:02:56 --> 01:02:59

wretched ones, may Allah make us of the fortunate ones. And then

01:02:59 --> 01:03:04

sort of Hood, the prominent verse in there is of the st karma verse

01:03:04 --> 01:03:06

For stuck in karma omit.

01:03:07 --> 01:03:11

And that were and sober, is also mentioned there. And then we begin

01:03:11 --> 01:03:15

the story of use of Alehissalaam. Firstly, it talks about gives us a

01:03:15 --> 01:03:18

significance of dreams, otherwise would not have been measured with

01:03:18 --> 01:03:22

just the random dream of a kid, it would not have been it's, this is

01:03:22 --> 01:03:26

a serious Dream, which then shows that it became true as well. And

01:03:26 --> 01:03:29

even if a child sees a dream, the significance we learn from that

01:03:29 --> 01:03:32

there's so many things we can pick up from here. And also it tells us

01:03:33 --> 01:03:36

how you actually some actually listen carefully to the dream

01:03:36 --> 01:03:39

didn't dismiss it actually guided us value. Someone said, make sure

01:03:39 --> 01:03:43

you don't tell anybody. He valued the dream. So that's why we listen

01:03:43 --> 01:03:45

to our children and even their dreams even if they sound a bit

01:03:45 --> 01:03:48

strange sometimes we listen to them, right.

01:03:50 --> 01:03:54

And then after that, we have the discussion of hassad jealousy and

01:03:54 --> 01:03:59

envy of the of one's own brother sometimes, right? And Allah

01:03:59 --> 01:04:03

subhanaw taala says in verse 90 in the homea.py Oscar for in Hola

01:04:03 --> 01:04:05

Hola, yo, the original masculine that's going to come later anyway.

01:04:06 --> 01:04:08

And the discussion of the seduction

01:04:09 --> 01:04:15

and how he avoided it and the emotions at that time and his

01:04:15 --> 01:04:17

focus on Allah subhanaw taala

01:04:18 --> 01:04:21

and then finally use of it some being in prison and then

01:04:21 --> 01:04:26

eventually being released. And that is what ends the chapter and

01:04:26 --> 01:04:30

the last line Attica Lee itema and Nina Mahone who believe this is so

01:04:30 --> 01:04:33

that they know that I did not you know without them knowing I did

01:04:33 --> 01:04:36

not betray them one hola hola de que de La Nina because Allah does

01:04:36 --> 01:04:42

not basically saying that those who do those who are betrayers,

01:04:42 --> 01:04:46

their plots, will will never be successful will never succeed.

01:04:46 --> 01:04:50

Allah will never let them succeed. So that's the way it begins. We

01:04:50 --> 01:04:52

ask Allah subhanahu wa taala for

01:04:54 --> 01:04:58

allowing us to we thank Allah subhanho wa Taala for allowing us

01:04:58 --> 01:04:59

to read this to benefit to

01:05:00 --> 01:05:03

make up the people of the Quran and for making us more meaning and

01:05:03 --> 01:05:06

now making us people of the Quran May Allah subhanaw taala allow us

01:05:06 --> 01:05:10

to be part of that. Among the people who learn the Quran and who

01:05:10 --> 01:05:13

teach it, the province of Assam said that the best of you is the

01:05:13 --> 01:05:16

one who learns the Quran teaches it. And subhanAllah we are all

01:05:16 --> 01:05:20

involved in this we ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us of those

01:05:20 --> 01:05:23

best of people and allow us to complete the rest of it. May Allah

01:05:23 --> 01:05:26

bless the rest of our Ramadan as well and make the remaining days

01:05:26 --> 01:05:30

better than the previous previous day's work. Regina and Al hamdu

01:05:30 --> 01:05:31

lillahi rabbil aalameen
