seldom at the Sleeman Cathy are on Eli, Oh, me, Dean, and my birth

00:02:13 --> 00:02:17

Hamdulillah we reached the 20th Jews, which is a continuation of

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20

sort of the novel which has started in the Jews number 19. So

00:02:20 --> 00:02:25

the number we had discussed was the chapter of the end and the

00:02:25 --> 00:02:29

discussion of the end with Solomon Ali Salaam. Now the beginning of

00:02:29 --> 00:02:34

this starts with five evidences five Buddha hands, five proofs

00:02:34 --> 00:02:39

that Allah subhanaw taala is providing, from again, things that

00:02:39 --> 00:02:43

you see around you, from the heavens, the earth, the rain, and

00:02:43 --> 00:02:48

many other natural phenomena that everybody can relate to. And Allah

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

subhanahu wa taala provides this

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

so that we can,

00:02:55 --> 00:02:59

anybody who thinks deeply about this will be able to affirm their

00:02:59 --> 00:03:02

faith in Allah subhanaw taala and increase their faith in Allah

00:03:02 --> 00:03:05

subhanho wa Taala if they're already believers, so the first

00:03:05 --> 00:03:08

one, I mean, just going through this, the first one is asking

00:03:08 --> 00:03:11

Allah subhanaw taala is asking is a Who's the one who creates the

00:03:11 --> 00:03:14

heavens and earth? Who is the one who sends rain down from the

00:03:14 --> 00:03:19

heavens? And do to which all the orchards and all the fields and

00:03:19 --> 00:03:22

the lands and the crops become very green?

00:03:24 --> 00:03:28

Is it Allah subhanaw taala that's in Isla whom Allah is there's a

00:03:28 --> 00:03:32

refrain in all of this, there's a repeat in all of this. Is there a

00:03:32 --> 00:03:36

god with Allah? Is there another god with Allah is there but these

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

people, they just equating partners with Allah? Then the

00:03:39 --> 00:03:45

second, the second verse, verse 61, Allah subhanho wa Taala says,

00:03:46 --> 00:03:50

Who made the earth good enough for you to rest upon to live upon to

00:03:50 --> 00:03:55

be stabilized upon who put through re who put through rivers and

00:03:55 --> 00:03:59

lakes and mountains? And Who who is it that created between the two

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01

oceans? That

00:04:02 --> 00:04:06

the invisible barrier? Again, that that's mentioned there?

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

Unfortunately, majority of them just do not know. That's what

00:04:09 --> 00:04:15

Allah says, the third one, who is it that assists those who are in

00:04:15 --> 00:04:18

trouble? Those who are desperate, those who are oppressed, those who

00:04:18 --> 00:04:22

are sick, and so on and so forth? Who is it that removes all of

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

these things from them?

00:04:24 --> 00:04:29

So little do you think so little do take heed? Then the fourth one

00:04:29 --> 00:04:33

is, who is it? Who is it that guides you in the darkness of the

00:04:33 --> 00:04:38

night? Right? And likewise, in the oceans? Who is the one that sends

00:04:38 --> 00:04:39

the wind?

00:04:40 --> 00:04:45

Full of His mercy before His mercy? Again, they just too

00:04:45 --> 00:04:50

arrogant dial Allah who actually Allah subhanho wa Taala is way

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

transcendent above what they impart not with them. And then the

00:04:54 --> 00:04:57

last one is, who is the One who created you the first time who is

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

the one who originates creation

00:05:00 --> 00:05:02

Then after that He will resurrect them as well he will bring them

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

back to life. And who is it the one who is it that gives you

00:05:06 --> 00:05:10

sustenance in the heavens and the earth? Is there a god with Allah?

00:05:11 --> 00:05:14

Now, finally, Allah subhanaw taala then challenges them. And he says,

00:05:14 --> 00:05:18

Okay, why don't you bring the proof if you are truthful, we've

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20

just brought these five proofs we're just showing you from

00:05:20 --> 00:05:24

completely essential reality is that you can see observable

00:05:24 --> 00:05:27

phenomena outside. Now you bring your proof if you're going to if

00:05:27 --> 00:05:28

you're truthful.

00:05:30 --> 00:05:34

So that's how it begins. And that is basically the Qurans normal

00:05:34 --> 00:05:39

method that it just invokes things that you can clearly see outside

00:05:39 --> 00:05:42

generally, either from the universe, or from the human being

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45

themselves, one's own feelings. That's why people have found the

00:05:45 --> 00:05:49

Quran just to be so intuitive. Once they take away all their

00:05:49 --> 00:05:53

subjectivities, and all their biases, and their hatred and

00:05:53 --> 00:05:56

everything. And as you look through the Quran, and let it come

00:05:56 --> 00:05:59

through, they actually notice that it's actually speaking to them.

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01

It's not speaking to somebody else, it's actually speaking to

00:06:01 --> 00:06:05

them. It's very personal engages with them. And again, the same

00:06:05 --> 00:06:09

thing, Allah subhanaw taala is saying, tell them that they should

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

bring the evidence that bring your evidence if you're truthful.

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa Salam is guided throughout this

00:06:15 --> 00:06:20

process. So essentially, the discussion, the points of

00:06:20 --> 00:06:24

discussion is everything in the world. Allah subhanaw taala uses

00:06:24 --> 00:06:28

that to explain, and for most people who will read that, they

00:06:28 --> 00:06:33

will, they will have to submit after that. The other thing which

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

the Mushrikeen had a big problem with,

00:06:36 --> 00:06:39

aside from the idols that they used to worship in, even though

00:06:39 --> 00:06:42

they believed in Allah is resurrection. So that's why Allah

00:06:42 --> 00:06:47

subhanaw taala then mentioned their objection, and then the and

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

then the response to that, which you can see in verse 67. What I

00:06:51 --> 00:06:57

would suggest to everybody is, don't to get the most out of this,

00:06:57 --> 00:07:01

it's always good that you sit with a translation, you sit with the

00:07:01 --> 00:07:04

translation, while I do go fast sometimes, and you can't always

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

keep up. But at least then you can make little notes or whatever. And

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

you can actually see the translation while I'm explaining

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

it. So that's better because I can't always translate everything

00:07:13 --> 00:07:17

in the short time that we have. So that was verse 67, then we jump

00:07:17 --> 00:07:20

forward, because it's very common themes throughout

00:07:22 --> 00:07:26

ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada then provides warnings. So now after

00:07:26 --> 00:07:29

bringing evidences, he also frightens them, he also provides

00:07:29 --> 00:07:33

warnings, because remember, that's the whole dissuasion, and that he

00:07:33 --> 00:07:37

aspect of the Quran. So he talks about how the punishment is going

00:07:37 --> 00:07:41

to be for the wrongdoers, and so on. And

00:07:42 --> 00:07:45

then there's some discussions about the day of judgment if you

00:07:45 --> 00:07:49

carry on. So that's why if you look at from here, in fact,

00:07:49 --> 00:07:54

there's one very interesting verse here, which is 82 was 82, which

00:07:54 --> 00:07:57

speaks about a sign of the Day of Judgment with our call caller ID

00:07:57 --> 00:08:00

him or her rationale to whom the but I mean, a lot of the took a

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

limo home, and the NASA can will be it in other European Union. So

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

that's a reference to that beast of the earth that is going to

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

arrive. As soon as the sun has that one word for that one

00:08:12 --> 00:08:16

instance, risen from the west sunrises from the east all the

00:08:16 --> 00:08:19

time. But as a sign of the Day of Judgment, sun will rise from the

00:08:19 --> 00:08:23

west. And once it does, that, that's a signal that there is no

00:08:23 --> 00:08:27

more the doors of hellfire closed door, Paradise is closed, there's

00:08:27 --> 00:08:30

no more conversion anymore. So what happens is that whoever is a

00:08:30 --> 00:08:33

believer remains a believer, Whoever remains whoever is a

00:08:33 --> 00:08:35

disbeliever remains a disbeliever. There's no conversion afterwards.

00:08:36 --> 00:08:39

And that's why when this Darbo will finally come out will be a

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41

beast. There's lots of descriptions about it as that it's

00:08:41 --> 00:08:45

made up in different ways. And it looks like this, and it's part of

00:08:45 --> 00:08:48

it, it's like this, I can't go into that detail right now. But it

00:08:48 --> 00:08:51

will have a ring and apparently with that it will seal everybody

00:08:51 --> 00:08:56

will brand everybody or basically put a sign on everybody believer

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

and disbeliever because after that the day of judgment is going to

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

occur. So this is a reference to that. Now from the next verses

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

verse 83, and so on. These are some of my favorite verses

00:09:06 --> 00:09:10

whalemen actual Roman Cooley on Martin folgen menu because they

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

will be it now for home use their own had the evaporator coil it

00:09:13 --> 00:09:18

occurred to me it went on to heat to be her element, a mother

00:09:18 --> 00:09:21

quantum thermolon So this is striking an example of the Day of

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

Judgment now it's one of the depicted scenes of the Day of

00:09:24 --> 00:09:26

Judgment and if you carry on

00:09:27 --> 00:09:31

Allah subhanaw taala in verse 87 speaks about the blowing of the

00:09:31 --> 00:09:35

trumpet where you're my human philosophy so that's the first

00:09:35 --> 00:09:38

blast of the trumpet so everything will soon everything that happens

00:09:38 --> 00:09:41

in Earth except for whoever Allah wants so that's why some people

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

have made exceptions that maybe you realize that um and so because

00:09:44 --> 00:09:48

of the Allah mentioning Illa Masha Allah except the one who Allah

00:09:48 --> 00:09:52

wishes what could Renato without getting what algebra taxable Hi

00:09:52 --> 00:09:57

Jeremy that we're here tomorrow rumor rasa hub. These mountains

00:09:57 --> 00:10:00

that you see so firm A mu

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

verbal, you will see that they will be gliding. They'll be

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

floating like clouds Soon Allah, this is the craftsmanship of

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

Allah. This is the doing of Allah. This is the making of Allah, Allah

00:10:14 --> 00:10:18

the color che the one who makes everything well in the hobby Rami

00:10:18 --> 00:10:21

mozzarella, and these are very awesome verses really enjoy

00:10:21 --> 00:10:24

reading them all the time in our hobby room we met the following

00:10:24 --> 00:10:28

Allah knows exactly what you do. And then Allah mentions whoever

00:10:28 --> 00:10:32

comes manager will hustler verse 89, wherever comes with a good

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

deed, then he gets better than that. And they will be protected

00:10:36 --> 00:10:40

from the tremor, the turbulence and the terror of that day. But

00:10:40 --> 00:10:43

then whoever comes with the evil the coop, but would you have in

00:10:44 --> 00:10:48

their faces in the hellfire, how to Zona Ilana quantum dominant,

00:10:48 --> 00:10:51

but remember, no oppression, you're only going to be

00:10:51 --> 00:10:56

compensated and given back for what you did. And then the next

00:10:56 --> 00:10:59

verse is a beautiful, you know, there's certain verses in the

00:10:59 --> 00:11:04

Quran that are kind of referring to specific spaces. And if you

00:11:04 --> 00:11:07

understand them, and you know which verses they are, and if they

00:11:07 --> 00:11:13

read in those places, it just adds a whole new sentiment, emotion to

00:11:13 --> 00:11:17

that to that reading, because it just feels that much more real

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20

obviously. That's why when you go to the Haram in Makkah, and the

00:11:20 --> 00:11:25

Imam is there, and you can read it for yourself in omega two and

00:11:25 --> 00:11:30

Buddha rub her the hill belda till the Hare Rama ha whatever who

00:11:30 --> 00:11:31

could look shy.

00:11:32 --> 00:11:39

I've been commanded that I worship the Lord of this area, the lord of

00:11:39 --> 00:11:44

this city, the Lord of dislocation, who has sanctified

00:11:44 --> 00:11:48

it, and for Him belongs everything. It's just amazing when

00:11:48 --> 00:11:51

you're standing in Macomb, Oklahoma, and you read these

00:11:51 --> 00:11:54

verses, or you hear these verses, and they just echoing around you,

00:11:54 --> 00:11:58

that is just absolutely amazing. And then what will mirror to an

00:11:58 --> 00:12:04

akuna minal muslimeen. And I have been commanded that I be from the

00:12:04 --> 00:12:08

submitters from the Muslims, and then one o'clock Quran, this is

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

the way the surah ends, just in a similar vein to the beginning, how

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

it starts with the discussion of the Quran a disk, this is

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

beautiful, one attuale Quran and that I recite the Quran

00:12:20 --> 00:12:24

for him terminated for into my daily NFC, whoever is guided, is

00:12:24 --> 00:12:28

guided for himself, whoever is misguided, then just tell them

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31

that I'm the prophecy of awesome this is basically Allah is telling

00:12:31 --> 00:12:35

the prophecy last time to say this, just tell them that don't

00:12:35 --> 00:12:39

just have the warners and say Alhamdulillah all praises to

00:12:39 --> 00:12:44

Allah. So you read it, he will soon show you his signs for 30

00:12:44 --> 00:12:48

phono. And you will recognize them honestly, like you will recognize

00:12:48 --> 00:12:51

them. Because warmer rabuka behalf in in anma thermolon, your Lord is

00:12:51 --> 00:12:57

not unaware of what you do. And by that this surah ends.

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

So I've pointed out some of the problem verses on there. And now

00:13:02 --> 00:13:07

we move on to certain costs. So total costs us Allahu Akbar, this

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

chapter of the stories and here, what you have is, again, it starts

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

off with Darcy Meem bossy me DeLuca Tolki Bill Mubi in North

00:13:24 --> 00:13:30

Florida, you come in never a Musa owner will help me they call me me

00:13:30 --> 00:13:35

noon. It just jumps right into the story of Musa and Pharaoh again.

00:13:35 --> 00:13:39

And I think this may be this is, you know, as I said, this is

00:13:39 --> 00:13:43

again, a very detailed so in fact, most most, I would say, of the

00:13:43 --> 00:13:48

surah is the story of Musa alayhis salam and the reactions to him and

00:13:48 --> 00:13:50

the whole, you know, certain events which have not been

00:13:50 --> 00:13:56

discussed, again discussed here. This may be the last of the longer

00:13:56 --> 00:13:58

discussions about Musa alayhis salam after we've had several

00:13:58 --> 00:14:01

before. So this one is a very interesting one. That's why I want

00:14:01 --> 00:14:04

to provide some conclusions here and some benefits of the stories

00:14:04 --> 00:14:08

of Musa Sam as we've been as we've been reading them. So Surah two

00:14:08 --> 00:14:12

clusters is again a murky surah so you can expect, right that it's

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

two focuses, reinforcing the basics of belief and so on. It has

00:14:18 --> 00:14:23

88 it has 88 verses, and most likely was probably the 49 Surah

00:14:23 --> 00:14:27

of the Quran to be revealed. And it has nine sections.

00:14:28 --> 00:14:31

Most of it, as I mentioned is about Pharaoh and Musa alayhis

00:14:31 --> 00:14:36

salaam and the exchanges and so on starts off with her of mocha diet

00:14:36 --> 00:14:41

and that's why immediately says this, these are the verses of the

00:14:41 --> 00:14:47

Clear Book, and then we will we relate to you. Right we relate it

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

to you the story of Musa and Pharaoh with the truth for people

00:14:51 --> 00:14:55

who believe. So as I said there was already information out there

00:14:55 --> 00:14:56

about various

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

stories about Musa alayhis

00:15:00 --> 00:15:04

Salam and Pharaoh, but they were like all over the place. So when

00:15:04 --> 00:15:06

the Quran says we're going to mention to the truth, we're going

00:15:06 --> 00:15:09

to give you the real versions because we were there. And we can

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

tell you the real version. So that's kind of the idea there.

00:15:14 --> 00:15:17

Now, I'm just going to conclude this for you, I'm not going to

00:15:17 --> 00:15:22

read the whole thing as you know. But in general, the first the

00:15:22 --> 00:15:23

discussion is

00:15:25 --> 00:15:25

that

00:15:28 --> 00:15:32

the Pharaoh is sitting in Egypt, extremely arrogant, proud,

00:15:32 --> 00:15:36

exalting in all the wealth that Allah has given him in the control

00:15:36 --> 00:15:39

and the power and everything that he's been given. But then he is

00:15:39 --> 00:15:42

shown I mean, there's a long story which you can read in you know,

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

books about profits, but he's he's been shown that there's going to

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

be a child that's going to be born from the Bani Israel, which were

00:15:49 --> 00:15:53

the huge minority there, right, a huge minority there but as Allah

00:15:53 --> 00:15:56

subhanaw taala mentions here, some of the things that way he would do

00:15:56 --> 00:16:01

Giada Allah here and it actually managed to split up and Splinter

00:16:01 --> 00:16:06

all the communities that so the the point of that is divide and

00:16:06 --> 00:16:09

rule type of idea. So they were although there were a lot of Bani

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

Israel they couldn't you know that they could the minorities could

00:16:13 --> 00:16:18

not get together to form a strong enough band against him because he

00:16:18 --> 00:16:23

just managed to Jaga Allah Shia it basically separated everybody out

00:16:23 --> 00:16:28

yesterday photographer and then really can put down some groups

00:16:28 --> 00:16:31

among them, killing their children. You have been Abner who

00:16:31 --> 00:16:36

has verse foretells you were stuck in his home but keeping alive the

00:16:36 --> 00:16:40

women and he was of the hugely corrupt ones. So we wanted to

00:16:40 --> 00:16:44

Allah says beautifully when are either an Amana Isla Latina stood

00:16:44 --> 00:16:49

there a fulfill orders. We wanted to favor provide a blessing to

00:16:49 --> 00:16:52

those people who were considered weak in the earth when you're

00:16:52 --> 00:16:56

either him or him and we want you to make them the Imams the leaders

00:16:56 --> 00:16:59

when you're Allahu Allah anything and make them the inheritors.

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

And then to show Pharaoh everything that they they were

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

feared. So now look at the way Allah plays this such beauty with

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

such beauty that the Pharaoh is told that there's going to be a

00:17:12 --> 00:17:15

Bani Israel who's going to be born and he's going to be his death.

00:17:16 --> 00:17:19

Now he tries everything so he basically starts a policy of just

00:17:19 --> 00:17:22

killing every child before they could even get to their mother's

00:17:22 --> 00:17:26

milk they should be killed. Now eventually they find out that if

00:17:26 --> 00:17:28

they're going to do that is bad for the economy because they're

00:17:28 --> 00:17:31

going to have less leaves. Right all the all the boys that are

00:17:31 --> 00:17:34

going to die from this because that he's kidding boys, little

00:17:34 --> 00:17:37

infant boys. So then he said, Okay, fine, every subsequent year

00:17:37 --> 00:17:41

we're going to kill them, defies the purpose. Now how not Islam is

00:17:41 --> 00:17:43

actually born in the year when they're not killed. So he

00:17:43 --> 00:17:46

survives. Then Musa alayhis salam is born, he's born in a year that

00:17:46 --> 00:17:49

children are to be killed. His mum, Allahu Akbar, as Allah

00:17:49 --> 00:17:54

mentions, his mum gets very worried. But Allah subhanho wa

00:17:54 --> 00:17:57

Taala tells his mother inspires her to say no, you feed him. And

00:17:57 --> 00:18:01

if whenever you whenever you feel that, you know, there's danger

00:18:01 --> 00:18:04

close by put him in a box, and she had a string that she would

00:18:04 --> 00:18:07

basically tie to the box that could not be seen, and then

00:18:07 --> 00:18:12

basically let it go. In the Nile, right, which was next to a house

00:18:12 --> 00:18:16

it seemed. And she would hold on to that. So that's the way she

00:18:16 --> 00:18:19

dealt with him and protected him for that long. However, on one

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

occasion would happen is that the string broke or whatever happened,

00:18:23 --> 00:18:27

and it sailed forth. And she is now worried. That's why.

00:18:30 --> 00:18:32

While she is really really concerned here, it says that what

00:18:32 --> 00:18:39

US Baja for the Mimosa Ferreira, she is just totally taken aback.

00:18:39 --> 00:18:42

She is in huge grief and sadness that I've just lost my child that

00:18:42 --> 00:18:46

I've done so much to protect. So on the one hand while she's doing

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

that, and it's so bad Allah mentions that it you know, she

00:18:50 --> 00:18:52

would have disclosed that she would have become hysterical, she

00:18:52 --> 00:18:57

would have done something, you know, unless we protected her

00:18:57 --> 00:18:59

unless we've given her strength. So we gave her strength and don't

00:18:59 --> 00:19:02

worry, he's gonna come back. Right so we gave her that strength.

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

At the same time that's happening mashallah, this little box goes

00:19:07 --> 00:19:12

and floats to Pharaoh's palace, they pick it up, and asiyah his

00:19:12 --> 00:19:15

wife, Pharaoh's wife, she is can't have children. She sees this like,

00:19:15 --> 00:19:19

wow, this child. Pharaoh wants to kill it because that's his policy.

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

And this is where you it shows the the power of women and the power

00:19:24 --> 00:19:28

of the wife. Right? She convinces him that no look, he's going to be

00:19:28 --> 00:19:33

a coolness of our eyes. And this is just Allah's entire plan that

00:19:33 --> 00:19:36

he wants to bring up Pharaohs enemy in his own house. He wants

00:19:36 --> 00:19:41

to him to spend on him. He wants him to basically look after him to

00:19:41 --> 00:19:44

nurture him to bring him up. And subhanAllah pay for his upbringing

00:19:44 --> 00:19:47

and everything and then after he beat because that's how Allah

00:19:47 --> 00:19:51

subhanho wa Taala deals with aggressors. So finally,

00:19:52 --> 00:19:57

Allah, his mother, Pharaoh, sorry, Musa Allison's mother tells her

00:19:57 --> 00:19:59

see his sister, her daughter that

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

She needs to kind of keep track. So she goes in as a as a stranger

00:20:04 --> 00:20:08

observes, now they're trying to find somebody to nurse the child

00:20:08 --> 00:20:12

and he just rejecting every woman Australian nursing. So if only she

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

pops up and she says that look, I think I know somebody, she's a

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

really good nurse, and lots of children take to her says, Okay,

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

bring her along. Right so she brings a brings the mother along,

00:20:22 --> 00:20:25

and as soon as Musa Islam is with the mother, he just latches on to

00:20:25 --> 00:20:29

her. Right? And then there's lots of details there. But basically,

00:20:29 --> 00:20:31

Pharaoh then pays for her to be looking for him to be looked after

00:20:31 --> 00:20:34

by her mother, and the mother gets the child back SubhanAllah. And

00:20:34 --> 00:20:38

that's where Allah mentions Farah deadener, who Isla amici in verse

00:20:38 --> 00:20:43

13, we returned him to his mother Keita, Karina. So her eyes could

00:20:43 --> 00:20:48

be cooled. Well, that doesn't and she's not grieving. And so that

00:20:48 --> 00:20:52

she knows that the Promise of Allah is the truth. And the

00:20:52 --> 00:20:56

majority of people do not know, this is a huge lesson for us.

00:20:56 --> 00:21:00

Okay. Now, I want as we read through the story of Musa Islam,

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

as mentioned here, in this part of the story, the rest of the Surah,

00:21:04 --> 00:21:08

I want you to see if you can pick up a recurring theme. Right, I

00:21:08 --> 00:21:11

want to see if you can pick up a recurring theme. There are some

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

people that are playing some very, very prominent roles that are

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

featured here. Anyway, then after that he got he gets he grows up in

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

the house, and

00:21:24 --> 00:21:30

Allahu Akbar, he grows up in the house. And finally, he's going

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

around outside. I mean, he's probably got some liberties

00:21:32 --> 00:21:36

because he is, you know, Pharaoh's adopted child or whatever you want

00:21:36 --> 00:21:39

to call him. And then he sees that there's a skirmish going on

00:21:39 --> 00:21:43

between one of his people Bani Israel and one of the cops. And

00:21:43 --> 00:21:46

basically he goes to kind of just give the guy a little bit of a

00:21:46 --> 00:21:49

slap or a push or something. And he doesn't know his own strength,

00:21:49 --> 00:21:51

literally. I mean, because prophets are given a lot of

00:21:51 --> 00:21:54

strength. And he basically pada Allah He finishes him off as

00:21:54 --> 00:21:55

mentioned in

00:21:57 --> 00:22:00

in verse 15, right? And immediately after that, he doesn't

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

become arrogant. Oh, whatever the he was his fault. Look at the

00:22:03 --> 00:22:07

verse Carla Robbie needs on emptiness immediately. My Lord, I

00:22:07 --> 00:22:10

have a press myself, forgive me. So ALLAH forgive him. Because

00:22:10 --> 00:22:14

Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. If you made a mistake, you seek

00:22:14 --> 00:22:18

forgiveness from Allah. Anyway, it carries on. And he says never

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

again am I going to assist any kind of trouble causes and

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

transgressors and so on, but he's now worried because what's gonna

00:22:24 --> 00:22:28

happen? Right, the whole tables are gonna turn on him. So the next

00:22:28 --> 00:22:32

day another incident he finds that same Bani Israel, the same

00:22:32 --> 00:22:35

Israelite, you know, from his own people in a skirmish with somebody

00:22:35 --> 00:22:41

else. Now, he raises his hand and or he he comes across, and that

00:22:42 --> 00:22:46

there's two interpretations as to who said, who, who said, what

00:22:46 --> 00:22:49

exactly, but it looks like the Bani Israel said, Oh, do you want

00:22:49 --> 00:22:52

to kill me just like you killed that cop yesterday. So he reveals

00:22:52 --> 00:22:55

who Musashi Salaam is, or it's the other person who says that anyway,

00:22:56 --> 00:23:00

now Musa Islam is very afraid. But a person comes along who's a well

00:23:00 --> 00:23:02

wisher of it, and he says, look fair on everybody, they actually

00:23:04 --> 00:23:09

planning to kill you, too, you know that he's given a command,

00:23:09 --> 00:23:12

there's been a decree, so you should get out. So Musa listen,

00:23:12 --> 00:23:14

I'm just leaves, we're sorry, some leaves, and he goes in the

00:23:14 --> 00:23:18

direction of Midian. And he says, ha, Ethan is quite worried because

00:23:18 --> 00:23:22

there's nowhere to go. I mean, he is quite concerned. But he says,

00:23:22 --> 00:23:26

My Lord, see, always make a dua to Allah, the door. I mean, you think

00:23:26 --> 00:23:29

these prophets would just help because they were prophet. So

00:23:29 --> 00:23:32

Allah was just looking after them. Now if you notice each instance,

00:23:32 --> 00:23:36

the prophet is making a DUA, he is confessing things to Allah, he's

00:23:36 --> 00:23:40

discussing with Allah, and that if a prophet has to do that, and does

00:23:40 --> 00:23:44

that, we need to do that as well. So if we make a mistake, or we're

00:23:44 --> 00:23:48

in trouble, or we are in need, or we're sorrowful, make a dua to

00:23:48 --> 00:23:53

Allah and really just think about Allah. So he says, Rob be my

00:23:53 --> 00:23:57

nourisher, my, my, my, my nourish and Nagini Minakami body mean,

00:23:58 --> 00:24:01

protecting me from these oppressive people. Anyway, he goes

00:24:01 --> 00:24:02

to,

00:24:03 --> 00:24:08

he gets to he gets to Meridian. And in Medina, now, he's seeing

00:24:08 --> 00:24:12

that there's this water reservoir with a large cover on it, which is

00:24:12 --> 00:24:15

very heavy. These guys come up, they move it and they feed the

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

animals, right? They let them water the animals. And then it's

00:24:18 --> 00:24:22

these two girls, right? The guys that have their animals with them,

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

but these guys are so selfish, they actually close up the animals

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

and don't let them feed their animals. So then he's there. And

00:24:29 --> 00:24:32

he goes, and he helps them out. So he moves that aside, he lets them

00:24:32 --> 00:24:34

drink, and then they realize he's very strong, obviously, and is

00:24:34 --> 00:24:38

very trustworthy, because he's not looking in their direction as we

00:24:38 --> 00:24:40

learn from some traditions.

00:24:41 --> 00:24:46

But he's helpless. So what you see first is he goes and takes shade

00:24:46 --> 00:24:51

somewhere. And then he says, Yeah, rugby in Neelima and Zelda li em

00:24:51 --> 00:24:57

in hiring Sahil, my lord, my lord, my nourisher I am for whatever

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59

goodness you can reveal upon me I am in need.

00:25:00 --> 00:25:02

So again, he's calling until there's so many doors that he does

00:25:03 --> 00:25:06

throughout this process. Anyway, so as he's sitting there

00:25:06 --> 00:25:09

afterwards, after these girls are gone, suddenly one of them comes

00:25:09 --> 00:25:12

and the prominent feature mentioned here is them she

00:25:12 --> 00:25:18

Alistair here, she is walking with huge amounts of modesty, chastity,

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

bashfulness, very, very, you know, bashful, very, very huge amount of

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

modesty, that's prominent point. And actually, that goes to show

00:25:29 --> 00:25:32

that that's one of the biggest features in a woman, it's there in

00:25:32 --> 00:25:34

a man as well. But for the women, that's like a defining feature.

00:25:34 --> 00:25:37

And that's why in Islam, there's such a huge emphasis. And I know

00:25:37 --> 00:25:40

there's a lot of people, a lot of progressive builders, they think,

00:25:40 --> 00:25:45

why is there such an insistence of, of modesty on women, right,

00:25:45 --> 00:25:48

and they say that there's not the same as on men. I mean, men are

00:25:48 --> 00:25:50

slightly different creatures, not to say they shouldn't be modest

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

they should be. But it's just a lot more about women, about

00:25:54 --> 00:25:57

modesty in terms of the covering and the way Allah has made them

00:25:57 --> 00:26:00

and the attraction, and so on and so forth. So that's why it's a

00:26:00 --> 00:26:04

Quranic idea in a Quranic paradigm, that women should be

00:26:04 --> 00:26:07

modest. I mean, there's no doubt about that, as well as men should

00:26:07 --> 00:26:10

be, right. But there's no escaping that idea. Right? And you can tell

00:26:10 --> 00:26:13

where the rest of the ideas are coming from. So she basically says

00:26:13 --> 00:26:17

to him that, you know, my father is calling you, right, he wants to

00:26:17 --> 00:26:21

reward you for you're helping us out. So he goes, and mashallah the

00:26:21 --> 00:26:25

father is sure I barely Salam. Right, the father is shy about

00:26:25 --> 00:26:26

Islam. And

00:26:28 --> 00:26:31

that you can tell the girl is very clever. So she says to her father,

00:26:31 --> 00:26:35

that, why don't you hire him? Because you know, we need help

00:26:35 --> 00:26:38

anyway. And the best person you can hire is the one who's strong,

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

and the one who is trustworthy, right? Because when apparently,

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

there's a discussion in the in the narrations about this, that when

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

Musa Islam then went with her, he didn't walk behind, she's the one

00:26:50 --> 00:26:53

showing him the way, but he didn't walk behind her, he walked in

00:26:53 --> 00:26:58

front of her, and so that he didn't look at her Subhanallah I

00:26:58 --> 00:27:01

wish, you know, we can observe this kind of, you know, in our own

00:27:01 --> 00:27:05

lives, this kind of this kind of precaution in our lives. And

00:27:05 --> 00:27:08

according to even someone says that she didn't she she use

00:27:08 --> 00:27:13

signals to basically direct him afterwards. Allah knows best. But

00:27:13 --> 00:27:16

anyway, she recognizes that. So he says, Hi, him. And then the father

00:27:16 --> 00:27:18

decides that, you know, why don't I just marry you to one of them,

00:27:18 --> 00:27:22

you can pick anyone you want. Right? And the MA, he doesn't have

00:27:22 --> 00:27:27

much money. He says the marriage payment is that you work for me

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

for eight years. Mashallah. How many of you have had to work for

00:27:30 --> 00:27:34

eight years for their father in law? Right, to basically get

00:27:34 --> 00:27:37

married? I mean, you've gotten away with a few 100 Few 1000

00:27:37 --> 00:27:40

pounds, right? A bit of gold or whatever the case he worked for

00:27:40 --> 00:27:45

eight years, and then sure you're very Assam says, in fact, if you

00:27:45 --> 00:27:48

finish it to 10, that's even better. But that's up to you. And

00:27:48 --> 00:27:51

you will find that I'm not you know, you will find that I'm going

00:27:51 --> 00:27:53

to be from the side of him and he confided in him and everything.

00:27:53 --> 00:27:56

And then he said, Okay, fine. The Musa ism said, Fine, that will be

00:27:56 --> 00:28:01

we'll decide whatever that is, right? No, no force on me. Now are

00:28:01 --> 00:28:03

Hamdulillah. After he finishes off, he fast forward to when he

00:28:03 --> 00:28:07

finishes off now he's got his wife, and he's on his way back.

00:28:07 --> 00:28:09

Right. He's on his way back. And in the midst of that he sees some

00:28:09 --> 00:28:13

fire goes there to get some something to kindle some wood with

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

so they can have some warmth, and he gets his prophecy there. And

00:28:17 --> 00:28:19

that's when Allah subhanaw taala speaks to him and gives him his

00:28:19 --> 00:28:22

miracles and tells him to go to the Pharaoh and release the Bani

00:28:22 --> 00:28:25

Israel to let to deliver the Bani Israel from there.

00:28:26 --> 00:28:30

So remember this dua Mousavi Salam in the Lima and Zelda la em in

00:28:30 --> 00:28:39

higher in faqeer. As, as mentioned, in the in our story,

00:28:39 --> 00:28:43

verse 24, keep that in mind that's definitely a dua that we should

00:28:43 --> 00:28:46

make Well, we're in need. Now what happens is he goes to the Pharaoh

00:28:46 --> 00:28:49

and then you know, the rest of the story says, released a bidding

00:28:49 --> 00:28:51

Israel and so on, I'm a prophet and so on. And then Pharaoh

00:28:51 --> 00:28:55

challenges him and all the rest of it gets angry. And then after that

00:28:55 --> 00:28:59

the whole magician story happens. So then he escapes and then

00:28:59 --> 00:29:03

mashallah they delivered Pharaoh dies. And Allah subhanaw taala

00:29:03 --> 00:29:07

just in verses 3940 You'll see that it shows that anybody who's

00:29:07 --> 00:29:11

arrogant then this is basically the ending Allah subhanaw taala

00:29:11 --> 00:29:15

can in the most amazing of ways, extraordinary ways he can

00:29:15 --> 00:29:19

basically deal with them. So then there's numerous other signs and

00:29:20 --> 00:29:23

mentioned and other points that are mentioned about Musa Salaam

00:29:23 --> 00:29:24

and their reactions and other little

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

other little accounts of their interactions which I'm not going

00:29:29 --> 00:29:32

to go into which you can inshallah read for yourself. But what I do

00:29:32 --> 00:29:37

want to mention here now is the following all of the stories in

00:29:37 --> 00:29:40

the Quran relating to moosari Summon Pharaoh, they mentioned so

00:29:40 --> 00:29:44

many times, and in great detail as well. I mean, you can you know,

00:29:44 --> 00:29:47

there's a lot of detail in there. They just split up they just

00:29:47 --> 00:29:50

repetitive in different places. So

00:29:51 --> 00:29:55

I've mentioned this book to you before a book by Chef Hilda

00:29:55 --> 00:29:58

Rahman's Johari, who was one of the prominent leaders of India,

00:29:58 --> 00:29:59

right in the last 100 years.

00:30:00 --> 00:30:03

As part of the whole order Magic Metal Allah movement, they are one

00:30:03 --> 00:30:08

of the founding people of that of the era. He's written a wonderful

00:30:08 --> 00:30:12

book called The Casasola Quran or thesis or Quran. So after

00:30:12 --> 00:30:15

mentioning the story of Musa alayhis, salaam, he mentioned the

00:30:15 --> 00:30:16

following

00:30:17 --> 00:30:22

advices and lessons that we can draw from Musa Listen, he's got a

00:30:22 --> 00:30:24

lot. So I mean, if you want to write them down, you can write to

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

reflect over them, but they're definitely worth thinking about.

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

Right and Inshallah, if you read these stories for yourself, you

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

should come to the very intuitive lessons that you can understand,

00:30:33 --> 00:30:36

number one, I'm going to quickly go through them. Number one,

00:30:37 --> 00:30:42

if anybody is patient upon difficulties, and

00:30:43 --> 00:30:48

difficulties that Allah throws at them, then they definitely in the

00:30:48 --> 00:30:52

hereafter are going to have a good recompense and reward for that we

00:30:52 --> 00:30:55

understand that from several verses that we hear number two,

00:30:55 --> 00:31:00

whoever relies on Allah subhanaw taala in their dealings, right and

00:31:00 --> 00:31:03

relies on Allah means that they know Allah is behind them. That

00:31:03 --> 00:31:06

means Allah subhanaw taala will make many of their situations

00:31:07 --> 00:31:09

easy, they'll have a good outcome. Number three,

00:31:11 --> 00:31:16

whoever is relationship with Allah subhanaw taala has, has eventually

00:31:16 --> 00:31:20

led him to love of Allah, and for to become very, very close the

00:31:20 --> 00:31:24

beloved to Allah subhanaw taala, then for that person, the greatest

00:31:24 --> 00:31:29

force of battle and, and falsehood cannot shake that person, because

00:31:29 --> 00:31:32

they're just taken over by the love and that is what's powering

00:31:32 --> 00:31:35

them now. And that's what you learn from many of the incidents

00:31:35 --> 00:31:37

in the story. Number four.

00:31:39 --> 00:31:43

If anybody stands with steadfastness, in the situations

00:31:43 --> 00:31:47

that ALLAH SubhanA, WA Tada, you know, with with the truth, and

00:31:47 --> 00:31:51

they remain steadfast on the truth, then Allah subhanaw taala

00:31:51 --> 00:31:56

will generally provide you an assistance, even through the

00:31:56 --> 00:32:01

enemies. So look at Musa Islam story where his mother is assisted

00:32:01 --> 00:32:04

in protecting him bringing him up, it gets much more than she thought

00:32:04 --> 00:32:08

she thought if he could just save him, right. And then he goes old

00:32:08 --> 00:32:11

enough for him not to be discerned as one born in that year, that

00:32:11 --> 00:32:13

would have been enough for her, right, just that he remained

00:32:13 --> 00:32:17

alive, but she got a lot more to the bargain. And that's the idea

00:32:17 --> 00:32:22

that once Islam comes into your heart like that, number five,

00:32:23 --> 00:32:27

whenever the faith into somebody's hurts, and finds a strong place

00:32:27 --> 00:32:34

there, then they're willing to, they're willing to take on the No,

00:32:34 --> 00:32:38

no criticism, no complaints, no aggression, will will shake them.

00:32:39 --> 00:32:41

And that's, that's the thing, if we find ourselves very weak,

00:32:41 --> 00:32:45

sometimes the focus should be on strengthening our faith by reading

00:32:45 --> 00:32:49

the Quran and doing vicar of Allah. Right, and understanding

00:32:49 --> 00:32:54

his understanding his power and our trust, and Tawakkol basically,

00:32:55 --> 00:32:59

right, this is a very interesting one. This is what we learned from

00:32:59 --> 00:33:05

this, that one of the biggest detriments and harms of slave

00:33:05 --> 00:33:11

hood, have a feeling of giving up right of acquiescing and saying we

00:33:11 --> 00:33:16

can't do anything to give up basically, your your, your, your,

00:33:17 --> 00:33:18

your efforts,

00:33:20 --> 00:33:25

is that you lose your courage. Right, you lose your courage.

00:33:27 --> 00:33:32

And you see that then that they a lot of them had given up if it

00:33:32 --> 00:33:36

wasn't for Musa Islam, a lot of them all had given up. And that's

00:33:36 --> 00:33:41

why that psychology persisted with them. Right? That mentality

00:33:41 --> 00:33:47

persisted with them. So that's why it took so long for that to for

00:33:47 --> 00:33:51

that to be sorted out. Right if it if it was ever sorted out at that

00:33:51 --> 00:33:54

time. That's why when Musa Salam told him that look, this

00:33:56 --> 00:34:00

is the place that you need to get into, this is your RTL mocha data,

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

right, this is your holy lands, it's for you. You just have to

00:34:03 --> 00:34:05

make a little bit of effort. They weren't willing to make any

00:34:05 --> 00:34:10

effort. They were just so scared, because that's what cowardice does

00:34:10 --> 00:34:14

to you. That's what resigning does to you. That's why you always need

00:34:14 --> 00:34:15

to stay strong.

00:34:16 --> 00:34:21

Number seven is that as mentioned so many places, that Yedi thrown a

00:34:21 --> 00:34:23

lot they Allah, we're going to make them the inheritors. The

00:34:23 --> 00:34:27

inheritors are going to be the people of the truth, after as long

00:34:27 --> 00:34:31

as they make a special effort, and they stay steadfast. Number eight,

00:34:31 --> 00:34:36

doesn't matter how strong the force of evil is. Right?

00:34:36 --> 00:34:42

Eventually, that force of evil we'll have to see. It's, we'll

00:34:42 --> 00:34:46

have to basically see its defeat and we'll see its weakness.

00:34:46 --> 00:34:49

Eventually, it could take years and years and decades, but

00:34:49 --> 00:34:52

eventually we'll have to come down. Number nine is kind of a

00:34:52 --> 00:34:56

reiteration that this is the Sunnah of Allah that any weakened

00:34:56 --> 00:34:59

group, if they make an effort, Allah subhanaw taala will actually

00:34:59 --> 00:34:59

make them

00:35:01 --> 00:35:07

The incharge and the inheritors number 10. Then we also then learn

00:35:07 --> 00:35:08

those who

00:35:09 --> 00:35:15

see the truth, understand it, but still reject it for other ulterior

00:35:15 --> 00:35:17

motives and other selfish reasons.

00:35:20 --> 00:35:24

Then eventually, they cannot accept it, they get veiled, then

00:35:24 --> 00:35:27

they just can't accept it, even if it's staring you in the face,

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

that's as really severe punishment. May Allah protect us

00:35:31 --> 00:35:34

from that, like in your heart you want to and you can't even maybe

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

number 11 Those people who then make an effort, and then they get

00:35:40 --> 00:35:44

the truth, and they get success, they have to be very careful

00:35:44 --> 00:35:48

because there's always pitfalls on the way. So those people who've

00:35:48 --> 00:35:51

gotten success like the Bani Israel, they got success with Musa

00:35:51 --> 00:35:55

alayhis salam, if they then start turning away from ALLAH SubhanA,

00:35:55 --> 00:35:58

WA, tada and causing corruptions,

00:35:59 --> 00:36:02

then that's going to be very dangerous as they did I mean,

00:36:02 --> 00:36:06

wanting to worship a cough, and all the rest of it number 12.

00:36:07 --> 00:36:12

Where you want to where you realize the truth, but then you

00:36:12 --> 00:36:18

want to conform the truth to your desires. So you want to make it

00:36:18 --> 00:36:22

the way you want it to be. Now we get that example from the yomo

00:36:22 --> 00:36:26

septs from the Sabbath issue, right, where they were trying all

00:36:26 --> 00:36:29

sorts of ways to catch the fish, even though they were supposed not

00:36:29 --> 00:36:33

to like leaving out knits and so on. The number 13

00:36:34 --> 00:36:38

is more about Dow. So for the dairy they need to make that will

00:36:38 --> 00:36:41

regardless of the situation, even if they think that it's not going

00:36:41 --> 00:36:44

to have any effect, then it does need to do it in some kind of

00:36:44 --> 00:36:48

subtle way. And we learn that from the people who still continue to

00:36:49 --> 00:36:55

try to give a lesson to the people who are being excessive with

00:36:55 --> 00:36:58

regards to the Sabbath, right, even though others telling them

00:36:58 --> 00:37:01

don't Why are you bothering them, they're going to be punished

00:37:01 --> 00:37:04

anyway. So Allah subhanaw taala then gave them a huge reward for

00:37:04 --> 00:37:10

that. Number 14 Subhan Allah, a lot of the time a bad leader is

00:37:10 --> 00:37:12

put over you because of

00:37:14 --> 00:37:18

our own bad deeds. Collectively, if we can improve our deeds, we

00:37:18 --> 00:37:19

get a better leader.

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

And

00:37:22 --> 00:37:26

the other thing is number 15. What we understand from here is

00:37:28 --> 00:37:31

it is a sunnah of the prophets. That is the Sunnah of Allah

00:37:31 --> 00:37:35

subhanaw taala through his prophets, that he assists them in

00:37:35 --> 00:37:39

taking away weaken people from the oppression of the oppressors.

00:37:40 --> 00:37:43

That's the word the faith will do to you will do for you if you do

00:37:43 --> 00:37:45

it properly, unless you abuse your faith.

00:37:47 --> 00:37:52

Now, after that for the rest of the surah to complete it, Allah

00:37:52 --> 00:37:53

subhanho wa taala.

00:37:54 --> 00:37:59

If you look at verse from verse 47, then a fella manager who will

00:37:59 --> 00:38:03

come in at a dinner called will Lola with EMF lemma, oto Musa, and

00:38:03 --> 00:38:04

it continues from there.

00:38:05 --> 00:38:08

We're told a number of things because now Allah subhanaw taala,

00:38:08 --> 00:38:11

generally, always after mentioning the stories, he brings relevance

00:38:11 --> 00:38:14

of those stories to the people of Makkah, and to the Muslim

00:38:14 --> 00:38:17

community, or to the non Muslim community that the Prophet

00:38:17 --> 00:38:19

sallallahu sallam was propagating to. So now you've got the

00:38:19 --> 00:38:21

following. I'm just going to mention them, you can check up the

00:38:21 --> 00:38:23

verses 50 to 255.

00:38:24 --> 00:38:31

Allah subhanaw taala gives a lot of praise to the Al Kitab, who

00:38:31 --> 00:38:36

brought faith who basically became became Muslim. right, then verse

00:38:36 --> 00:38:38

47, was

00:38:41 --> 00:38:45

from verse 47 onwards, these are basically all warnings to the

00:38:45 --> 00:38:49

people of Makkah to take heat from the story of Musa alayhis salam.

00:38:49 --> 00:38:55

Then in 57, it talks about a number of foolish moves and

00:38:55 --> 00:39:00

ignorances of the Mushrikeen then in verse 6061, it's talking about

00:39:00 --> 00:39:05

this dunya just basically being a something that you use, it's

00:39:05 --> 00:39:09

warmer ot to mean che in fermata or hayati, dunya, whatever you've

00:39:09 --> 00:39:13

been given, it's just an instrument to be used as a tool to

00:39:13 --> 00:39:17

be used in the dunya and adornment you either use it as a as a tool.

00:39:17 --> 00:39:20

So use your phone as a tool and some people use it as an

00:39:20 --> 00:39:24

adornment. Some things you display, right? Something uses

00:39:24 --> 00:39:26

tool and somebody has dual purpose, you buy a really nice car

00:39:26 --> 00:39:28

to show off and to also use, right.

00:39:29 --> 00:39:33

But when are in the La Jolla room or Abacha, whatever Allah has

00:39:33 --> 00:39:36

whatever Allah possesses meaning in the Hereafter, right and

00:39:36 --> 00:39:40

through the good deeds that is just better and more enduring.

00:39:40 --> 00:39:45

Don't you comprehend that? So that's the discussion there. Then

00:39:45 --> 00:39:50

62 to 66. This goes back to discussing the Day of Judgment and

00:39:50 --> 00:39:52

graphically describing that.

00:39:53 --> 00:39:57

Then after that, you've got 668

00:39:59 --> 00:39:59

it discussed

00:40:00 --> 00:40:05

Here's how Allah subhanaw taala creates right and his creative his

00:40:05 --> 00:40:10

creation power and so on. Then when we move to number 7676 then

00:40:10 --> 00:40:12

starts another

00:40:13 --> 00:40:17

account another instance after the general advices and arguments and

00:40:17 --> 00:40:21

things. This is many of you would have heard of this. This is in

00:40:21 --> 00:40:28

koruna Can you call me Musa? Are they him? Well, Tina who Meenal

00:40:28 --> 00:40:35

Kulu Zima in MF 30 Her whole letter no OB La Rose Betty will go

00:40:35 --> 00:40:42

is called a who call me hola Farah in Hola Hola, you're a bull ferry

00:40:42 --> 00:40:47

hain. This is now in the next several verses until at to the

00:40:47 --> 00:40:53

it's discussing karoun. Now this car is a very interesting guy who

00:40:53 --> 00:40:58

Allah had given a lot to from the dunya. But this is the example of

00:40:58 --> 00:41:02

materialism again, right? So this is an example of materialism from

00:41:02 --> 00:41:05

the time of Musa alayhis salam, right 76 onwards.

00:41:07 --> 00:41:10

So after basically the destruction of Pharaoh and everything, you

00:41:10 --> 00:41:15

have this person called Qarun. Now he is actually from the family

00:41:15 --> 00:41:18

from the family of Musa Islam from the tribe of Musa salaam, from the

00:41:18 --> 00:41:20

family of moosari, Assam and according to some automize

00:41:20 --> 00:41:23

actually his cousin, brother, that's a, you know, that's also

00:41:23 --> 00:41:30

mentioned, maybe, you know, he was so gifted by Allah with provisions

00:41:30 --> 00:41:35

that it's very difficult to find an individual is not a king, right

00:41:35 --> 00:41:38

individuals nor a rule like Solomon, Ali salaam, right? Or

00:41:38 --> 00:41:41

Alexander, you know, whatever, right, it's very, they will find

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

an individual has been given so much. Right? So for example, in

00:41:45 --> 00:41:49

the 1920s 30s, one of the richest man in the world was actually the

00:41:51 --> 00:41:55

the Nawab of Hyderabad. He was the wealthiest man in the world, at

00:41:55 --> 00:41:59

that time in the 1920s, and 30s. But anyway, this guy was very,

00:41:59 --> 00:42:02

very wealthy. And if you look at the description, Allah provides

00:42:02 --> 00:42:07

just the keys to his store houses needed like a whole

00:42:08 --> 00:42:14

Allahu Akbar, it says, Just it's keys needed a whole group, an army

00:42:14 --> 00:42:17

of strong people to carry. So imagine how much treasure has been

00:42:17 --> 00:42:20

given. It's just crazy amounts of treasure. Anyway, the story goes,

00:42:20 --> 00:42:25

how they were what it says, And this just really depicts the

00:42:25 --> 00:42:28

scenario today that you see somebody who's very wealthy, who's

00:42:28 --> 00:42:33

got a lot at their disposal, very influential, and there are always

00:42:33 --> 00:42:36

going to be different reactions to these people, right? So there's

00:42:36 --> 00:42:38

going to be some people, they're going to look at them with water

00:42:38 --> 00:42:41

on water, the salivating, they're going to be thinking, I wish I had

00:42:41 --> 00:42:45

that I would do this, I will do that. So they just yearning for

00:42:45 --> 00:42:49

that. Right? They don't understand the problems with such an the

00:42:49 --> 00:42:52

pitfalls of such an issue, the troubles and the fitna, it's

00:42:52 --> 00:42:55

actually then there's the other group, who will advise these

00:42:55 --> 00:42:59

people that look this is not this is not you know, we just need what

00:42:59 --> 00:43:02

we can get by with this is not necessarily just the Bulevar we

00:43:02 --> 00:43:04

just need enough to get us by with

00:43:05 --> 00:43:08

so anyway, eventually Musashi Sam tried to reason with him try to

00:43:08 --> 00:43:12

say, look, who gave you this? And he said no, in number 82, who

00:43:12 --> 00:43:16

Allah Elmina Indy, I was given this because of knowledge that I

00:43:16 --> 00:43:20

had, who gave you that knowledge them see people they think of what

00:43:20 --> 00:43:23

they said, Oh, my father gave me this as inheritance. Well, who

00:43:23 --> 00:43:26

gave it to your father who made you the son or daughter of your

00:43:26 --> 00:43:30

father? Eventually Allah has to fit in there somewhere. So they

00:43:30 --> 00:43:32

just stopped somewhere. This is the problem with most of us, we

00:43:32 --> 00:43:35

stopped somewhere we need to move go back to Allah, then you really

00:43:35 --> 00:43:39

realize Allah is with everything behind everything. So eventually,

00:43:39 --> 00:43:42

when he did not listen, Allah subhanaw taala wanted to make him

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

a lesson and a sign for people. So he basically his punishment was

00:43:47 --> 00:43:51

that he he just collapsed into the ground sunk septarian collapse he

00:43:51 --> 00:43:55

just everything just became buried with all of his treasure. So it

00:43:55 --> 00:43:58

wasn't like his treasure was there for people think no, everything

00:43:58 --> 00:44:02

went just to show the complete insignificance of what what he

00:44:02 --> 00:44:06

had. So now then Allah then shows against again, the reaction to to

00:44:06 --> 00:44:10

him. That's why those who were wanting to be in his place

00:44:10 --> 00:44:14

yesterday, they started saying wake up and Hola. Yep. So to risk

00:44:14 --> 00:44:17

a lemon. Yeah, show me everybody welcome. You know, Allah expands

00:44:17 --> 00:44:20

his sustenance for whoever he wishes and he contracts and

00:44:20 --> 00:44:23

restricts it for him Whoever he wishes, and then they actually

00:44:23 --> 00:44:27

feel remorse or they saying, if Allah had not, if Allah had not

00:44:27 --> 00:44:31

favored us, then we would have also sunk into the ground. And

00:44:31 --> 00:44:36

disbelievers like this can never can never sit gain can never gain

00:44:37 --> 00:44:41

success. Then there's a very important verse, which is verse

00:44:41 --> 00:44:45

83, which is delicate Dar Al Hijrah, those are the abodes of

00:44:45 --> 00:44:46

the hereafter.

00:44:48 --> 00:44:50

Allah is saying that okay, this is all dunya dunya that you're

00:44:50 --> 00:44:54

talking about? Really what you must be focusing on is the Dowdell

00:44:54 --> 00:44:54

Akira.

00:44:56 --> 00:44:59

That's Niger Aloha lil Levine Allah you read una

00:45:00 --> 00:45:04

One fell out of the water facade. Now this is coming after both

00:45:04 --> 00:45:08

Pharaoh story and after karoun story which are two separate kinds

00:45:08 --> 00:45:11

of stories, but similar problems. So Allah saying that those are the

00:45:11 --> 00:45:15

abodes of the Hereafter which we designate for those who are not

00:45:15 --> 00:45:20

trying to gain ascendancy and tyranny and haughtiness in the

00:45:20 --> 00:45:24

world, and no causing corruption in the world, because well, I'll

00:45:24 --> 00:45:29

keep talking. And the final, beautiful, consequential end is

00:45:29 --> 00:45:33

for those who fear Allah subhanaw taala. So may Allah, we need to

00:45:33 --> 00:45:37

stop here and make a dua to Allah subhanaw taala that he allowed us

00:45:37 --> 00:45:41

to learn a lesson, he had set our priorities right, and he gives us

00:45:41 --> 00:45:44

that beautiful end that is promised to the mannequin by

00:45:44 --> 00:45:48

making us have them. Then Allah mentions in verse 84, wherever it

00:45:48 --> 00:45:53

does any good deed, and again, the promise good deed you get better

00:45:53 --> 00:45:55

from Allah subhanho wa taala, because it does a bad deed, Allah

00:45:55 --> 00:45:59

will punish them can punish them, and and so on. And

00:46:00 --> 00:46:07

thereafter, this this, this dua, sorry, this ayah verse 83, is

00:46:07 --> 00:46:11

actually something we should always keep in mind, not just

00:46:11 --> 00:46:16

regular people, but even orlimar everybody, because this helps to

00:46:17 --> 00:46:22

channel our energies in the right direction. It helps to keep away

00:46:22 --> 00:46:26

the concept of Rhea and ostentation and showing off and

00:46:26 --> 00:46:29

selfishness and so on. Because if we can repeat this verse in our

00:46:29 --> 00:46:35

mind and keep focus, then we know that if we're going to do wrong

00:46:35 --> 00:46:39

than the abode of the Hereafter that's promised is not for us.

00:46:39 --> 00:46:42

Otherwise it is for us, but we need to make the right effort what

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

Akeeba to limit again, so inshallah we ask Allah to make

00:46:46 --> 00:46:47

this a source of

00:46:48 --> 00:46:54

lesson for us, and always to remind us thereafter, Allah

00:46:54 --> 00:46:57

subhanaw taala. In the last verse of this, he says,

00:46:59 --> 00:47:02

After discussing the Quran so on he says, What are the Ramallah

00:47:02 --> 00:47:07

Haleigh Hannah who do not caught on to any Allah do not call unto

00:47:07 --> 00:47:13

any God beside Allah. There is no god except he, everything is going

00:47:13 --> 00:47:16

to perish. His very famous was called Lucia in Harlequin Illa,

00:47:16 --> 00:47:21

which everything is to perish and dissipate and disappear, except

00:47:21 --> 00:47:25

his countenance, meaning Allah only Allah will remain, everything

00:47:25 --> 00:47:29

else is going to dissipate the whole hokum for him is all

00:47:29 --> 00:47:34

command, why they he towards your own and to you to Him, you will be

00:47:34 --> 00:47:39

returned. So that ends the surah for us. There were one or two

00:47:39 --> 00:47:42

verses which I already pointed out to you that

00:47:44 --> 00:47:49

to focus on. There's another one I want to, to actually. One is the

00:47:49 --> 00:47:53

famous verse that is generally quoted, when we talking about

00:47:53 --> 00:47:55

Dawa. It's basically a guidance and that was that look, don't get

00:47:55 --> 00:47:59

upset. If you give Dawa and they don't accept because at the end of

00:47:59 --> 00:48:02

the day to change somebody's hearts, you know, that's Allah's

00:48:02 --> 00:48:07

job, right? That's why this is also used. This was revealed, I

00:48:07 --> 00:48:11

think, with Abu Talib when he refused to c'est la ilaha illallah

00:48:11 --> 00:48:14

on it, even on his deathbed. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says in

00:48:14 --> 00:48:18

Nicoletta demon, you cannot guide who you wish. Now guidance is on

00:48:18 --> 00:48:23

two levels, right? One guidance is showing the person the way. So

00:48:23 --> 00:48:26

let's say somebody comes to London say, where is that as easy? I'm

00:48:26 --> 00:48:29

asked. So I tell them okay, you go right, then you go left, and then

00:48:29 --> 00:48:31

you go in this way. And then it's about five minutes down there.

00:48:32 --> 00:48:34

I don't take them there. I give them the direction. That's the

00:48:34 --> 00:48:37

first level of guidance. The second level of guidance, I say,

00:48:37 --> 00:48:40

Come on, I'll take you. So I get him into my chi walk him to the

00:48:40 --> 00:48:44

lesson. Here you go, Esau. All right, that's like leading to

00:48:44 --> 00:48:47

them. One is giving instructions. The other one is leading.

00:48:49 --> 00:48:52

What we have to remember that even with the prophets or even salaam,

00:48:52 --> 00:48:56

it's the first level of guidance is that first stage, the second

00:48:56 --> 00:49:00

one, which is to take you there to make it happen to change the mind.

00:49:00 --> 00:49:03

That's up to Allah subhanaw taala. That's Allah's prerogative. Of

00:49:03 --> 00:49:06

course, Allah has given some people much more efficacy than

00:49:06 --> 00:49:09

others, right? Like the prophets and so on. And some people

00:49:09 --> 00:49:13

mashallah, when they show the way, then people do reach, right? We

00:49:13 --> 00:49:15

have to ask Allah subhanaw taala to give us that golden finger or

00:49:15 --> 00:49:19

that golden tongue or whatever you want to call it. But at the end of

00:49:19 --> 00:49:23

the day, it's Allah's prerogative, and he knows best he you know,

00:49:23 --> 00:49:27

he's the most aware of the guided ones. Now the next verse is when

00:49:27 --> 00:49:30

the Prophet sallallahu Sallam would tell him believe, and this

00:49:30 --> 00:49:33

teaches us a lot of lessons. These are the excuses they would have.

00:49:34 --> 00:49:36

Because remember, in Makkah, they were still persecuted minority

00:49:36 --> 00:49:38

Muslims, right? So you're saying

00:49:40 --> 00:49:44

their responses, we'll call you in. This is the next verse, which

00:49:44 --> 00:49:48

is verse 57. In the barrel, who the Mac, if we were to follow the

00:49:48 --> 00:49:51

guidance with, you know, the hot off men or dinner, we'd be

00:49:51 --> 00:49:55

basically plucked out, meaning the rest of the Arabian community, the

00:49:55 --> 00:49:58

rest of the tribes and so on, because they're against Islam or

00:49:58 --> 00:49:59

whatever they were going to be

00:50:00 --> 00:50:03

destroyed because of that, we you can tell they've got a maybe a bit

00:50:03 --> 00:50:07

of inclination, they can see the truth, they can incline towards

00:50:07 --> 00:50:10

it. They're not willing to make the move because they're scared.

00:50:10 --> 00:50:13

And this is a lot of people, they don't want to become religious.

00:50:13 --> 00:50:15

They're Muslims, but they don't wanna become religious. They don't

00:50:15 --> 00:50:18

want to start praying or wearing hijab or

00:50:19 --> 00:50:22

acting in a Muslim way or avoiding some haram because they're worried

00:50:22 --> 00:50:25

about their friends circle, or their family members, or what are

00:50:25 --> 00:50:29

they going to say to me? This is a huge difficulty and hindrance

00:50:30 --> 00:50:33

obstacle that comes about. So then Allah responds to them, says,

00:50:33 --> 00:50:38

Well, I'm three things, I will never kill him. How Ramona Amin,

00:50:38 --> 00:50:43

huge Ba La Samara to cliche. Number one, Haven't we already put

00:50:43 --> 00:50:45

you in a place? I mean, this obviously doesn't really refer to

00:50:45 --> 00:50:48

all of us. This refers to the people of Makkah, that didn't I

00:50:48 --> 00:50:51

already put you into this sanctuary, this protected

00:50:51 --> 00:50:54

sanctuary that even in the past when Abraham came to attack when

00:50:54 --> 00:50:57

you guys weren't even believers, you are protected because of the

00:50:57 --> 00:51:00

house of Allah because you are servants of the house of Allah.

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

Allah has already given you that special position number two, and

00:51:06 --> 00:51:09

the fruits of all places come to you that's an amazing thing.

00:51:09 --> 00:51:12

Right? and coalition in risco, Milla Dona we're lacking axon

00:51:12 --> 00:51:18

layer anemone that's one thing number two was number two, haven't

00:51:18 --> 00:51:21

you? Haven't we supplied with you so many flavors? So huge bar la

00:51:21 --> 00:51:24

thermadata coalition? Haven't we been supplying with so many

00:51:24 --> 00:51:28

favors? Can you not then put your trust in Allah has given us so

00:51:28 --> 00:51:31

much in the past, he can give us a lot more. Right. So number one,

00:51:31 --> 00:51:33

we've already projected your number two we've already always

00:51:33 --> 00:51:37

been supplying with you supplying you. And number three, that even

00:51:37 --> 00:51:40

if you were to be persecuted, it'll only be for a short time,

00:51:40 --> 00:51:44

and eventually will be yours. The ultimate happiness will be yours.

00:51:44 --> 00:51:49

So that's something to think about. And finally, I think that

00:51:49 --> 00:51:50

covers

00:51:52 --> 00:51:56

that covers it all. That covers it all for us. So now let us move on

00:51:57 --> 00:52:01

to the last Surah which is sorbitol anchor booth. The Surah

00:52:01 --> 00:52:02

of this.

00:52:03 --> 00:52:04

What does anchor booth mean?

00:52:05 --> 00:52:06

The spider

00:52:07 --> 00:52:10

right that there's a discussion here about the spider.

00:52:11 --> 00:52:12

And

00:52:13 --> 00:52:17

it's a small discussion. Just it's an example. It's actually just an

00:52:17 --> 00:52:20

example that's provided. But mashallah, that's kind of like the

00:52:20 --> 00:52:25

prominent point. Just one point. It's not the prominent theme. The

00:52:25 --> 00:52:29

prominent theme of this sort of sorbitol anchor booth starts off,

00:52:29 --> 00:52:33

and Allah introduces it. As soon as Alif Lam Meem a has evenness

00:52:33 --> 00:52:37

with a neutral Aku Aku Armin Wahoo Mala youth afternoon.

00:52:38 --> 00:52:42

I'm going to translate that for you. And I want you to see, I want

00:52:42 --> 00:52:45

to see if any of you have recognized what the anomaly is

00:52:45 --> 00:52:51

here. And if law meme, right? Do people think? Right? Do people

00:52:51 --> 00:52:55

reckon that they're going to be left alone? Once they've said

00:52:55 --> 00:52:57

Amen, now that I believe, and they're not going to be tested.

00:52:59 --> 00:53:03

That is the main theme of this, of this, of this surah. That's a big

00:53:03 --> 00:53:06

theme of the surah. It's all about tests. So Allah is going to

00:53:06 --> 00:53:10

provide several different examples of tests from Ibrahim, Hassan

00:53:10 --> 00:53:13

Rouhani, salaam, luta, Ali Salam, and so on. And showing that look,

00:53:13 --> 00:53:17

tests will come. But ultimately the success is for those who go

00:53:17 --> 00:53:21

through a test. It's the nature of the world to have tests. Right now

00:53:21 --> 00:53:25

we're going through a test may Allah grant us success. Well look

00:53:25 --> 00:53:28

at phenylalanine I mean, copy him, we tested the people before you

00:53:28 --> 00:53:31

follow your item and Allahu La Nina Sadako, Allah Andaman Academy

00:53:31 --> 00:53:37

laid bare, right, so then Allah will surely know those who are

00:53:38 --> 00:53:42

of the truth. Right, those of

00:53:43 --> 00:53:44

have the truth and those who are lying.

00:53:48 --> 00:53:52

But then, Allah also talks about the evil doers and so on. So all

00:53:52 --> 00:53:55

of that discussion is there so little, and Kabuto is, again, a

00:53:55 --> 00:54:00

murky surah. And it has 69 verses, I think it was the 85th Surah to

00:54:00 --> 00:54:05

be revealed, right, according to some numberings. And it has seven

00:54:05 --> 00:54:06

different sections in there.

00:54:07 --> 00:54:13

Again, it's about emphasizing the basis of the faith. But the

00:54:13 --> 00:54:17

special feature here is the supernatural Eppela you can call

00:54:17 --> 00:54:25

it, Allah has Allah's mode, and Allah has trend of testing the

00:54:25 --> 00:54:28

believers that they're going to be tested in some way or the other.

00:54:29 --> 00:54:33

Right? This is would be a very good Surah to read, when you're

00:54:33 --> 00:54:37

when we're being tested in different ways. Definitely, to

00:54:37 --> 00:54:42

bring a lot of issues. So whether that be and it was very relevant

00:54:42 --> 00:54:45

to obviously the mucky period, because that's when they went

00:54:45 --> 00:54:48

through numerous types of difficulties, persecutions,

00:54:48 --> 00:54:53

oppressions, and so on and so forth. And that's how Allah

00:54:53 --> 00:54:55

differentiated between when African and the believers, the

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

person with iman, he, as we mentioned from the lesson

00:55:00 --> 00:55:03

The Mossad Hassan story as well, once the image, the stronger it

00:55:03 --> 00:55:06

is, the higher will be your fortitude.

00:55:07 --> 00:55:10

Because ultimately even if you're destroyed in this world, the

00:55:10 --> 00:55:12

hereafter you got paradise anyway.

00:55:15 --> 00:55:19

So, if you look at some of the verses now, it says in verse 10,

00:55:19 --> 00:55:23

for example, women are Nassima Yaku, Amman Billa Allahu Akbar.

00:55:23 --> 00:55:26

Look at this. There's some people, there's some among people who say

00:55:26 --> 00:55:30

amen Nabila. We believe in Allah for either odf Allah, then when

00:55:30 --> 00:55:35

they troubled, harassed, and given some difficulty because of Allah

00:55:35 --> 00:55:40

because of their faith. Right. We you know, regarding Allah Jalla

00:55:40 --> 00:55:46

fitna, the Nursey Katha Biller, they treat people's troubling them

00:55:46 --> 00:55:49

as though it's a punishment from Allah. So shaytaan makes them

00:55:49 --> 00:55:51

believe that Allah hates me.

00:55:53 --> 00:55:56

And this happens to a lot of people who start to become more

00:55:56 --> 00:56:00

righteous and start practicing. They suddenly start feeling that

00:56:00 --> 00:56:02

everybody goes against them. And then they think Allah doesn't like

00:56:02 --> 00:56:06

me. How can this be I'm practicing. They say I was better

00:56:06 --> 00:56:09

off when I was not practicing. I'm not joking. Several people have

00:56:09 --> 00:56:12

said this to me personally, I was better off when I wasn't

00:56:12 --> 00:56:14

practicing, because I didn't have all the struggle that means Allah

00:56:14 --> 00:56:14

was hate me.

00:56:15 --> 00:56:19

Right? Again, these are just various ways of shaytaan and his

00:56:19 --> 00:56:21

interests to stop people.

00:56:23 --> 00:56:26

So that's how some people do it. Right. Some people

00:56:28 --> 00:56:33

they, just on smallest excuses, they they lose their path they

00:56:33 --> 00:56:36

find for a short while, and then they missed their previous life.

00:56:36 --> 00:56:39

So they go back. Then you'll there's some people actually a

00:56:39 --> 00:56:42

pasta size, they changed. Some people just change the name, but

00:56:42 --> 00:56:46

some people, effectively a pasta size, and some people really

00:56:46 --> 00:56:49

apostasy as they leave their faith. So this is a sutra that

00:56:49 --> 00:56:53

people should read, who are having doubts about faith. Or if you know

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

people who are having doubts about faith, then you should really

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

think about that. Allah subhanaw taala says, oh, at least Allah who

00:56:59 --> 00:57:02

be Allah, maybe Murphy So do realize, I mean, doesn't Allah

00:57:02 --> 00:57:05

subhanaw taala isn't he completely aware of what is in the hearts of

00:57:05 --> 00:57:07

people? And when they eliminate Allah Allah the phenomena Dina

00:57:07 --> 00:57:11

Walia, LM and then Munna 15. And another reason he provides that I

00:57:11 --> 00:57:13

can tell the difference then between the people who believe and

00:57:13 --> 00:57:16

be true the people who are Mana 15 Some of the disbelievers they say

00:57:16 --> 00:57:20

to the people of faith now they may not say this clearly like this

00:57:20 --> 00:57:22

right? But they say this in various this can you can relate to

00:57:22 --> 00:57:28

this right? They say it WCB Lana Walla mill Hatha Yoga calm you

00:57:28 --> 00:57:32

follow our path will carry your sin for you. They don't say it in

00:57:32 --> 00:57:34

so many words it's like don't worry about it we'll take we take

00:57:34 --> 00:57:37

responsibility they kind of convinced you to think like that.

00:57:38 --> 00:57:41

Well my homeboy Hermione harmony in him in hotwire home in shape.

00:57:42 --> 00:57:45

Right? This is verses 12. Right? They definitely are not gonna

00:57:45 --> 00:57:49

carry any parts of their, their sins. They got their own sins in

00:57:49 --> 00:57:51

the home locker, the Boone, they can't take your burden off you.

00:57:52 --> 00:57:55

Right, they lie as well. The Yamuna escalada home was called a

00:57:55 --> 00:57:59

Marathwada him yes, they're going to carry their sins and a lot of

00:57:59 --> 00:58:02

other sins on top of that other people they misled. Right, but

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

that doesn't mean that your sins will go away. And they're going to

00:58:05 --> 00:58:07

be surely questioning their judgment about what they used to

00:58:07 --> 00:58:10

fabricate. Then Allah subhanaw taala mentioned the Stories of the

00:58:10 --> 00:58:13

Prophets. So he talks about Musa alayhis salam and that's when he

00:58:13 --> 00:58:16

taught sorry, first story here is no Hadith Siamese the earliest

00:58:16 --> 00:58:19

after otherwise Salaam. Right. Otherwise, some didn't have too

00:58:19 --> 00:58:21

many of these issues. But a lot of the problems start with

00:58:21 --> 00:58:27

nucleosomes time, people just did not believe. So it discusses Alpha

00:58:27 --> 00:58:31

Senate in 1000 years, I mean to give a mean rather than say 950

00:58:31 --> 00:58:36

years, Allah says 1000 years minus 50, greater impact 1000 years

00:58:36 --> 00:58:40

minus 50 950 years, and then eventually they were persecuted.

00:58:40 --> 00:58:43

And so on. Then Ibrahim Al Islam says the longest coverage here,

00:58:43 --> 00:58:48

right? Eventually, even when he refused to accept them, they said,

00:58:48 --> 00:58:54

Dr. Liu, aha Riku as verse 24 will tell you, their response, the only

00:58:54 --> 00:58:57

response they could muster is kill him or burn him. But Allah

00:58:57 --> 00:59:01

subhanaw taala protected him from the fire protected with a new

00:59:01 --> 00:59:04

Holliston from the storm from the water from the floods,

00:59:04 --> 00:59:07

particularly Brian Morrison from the fire. How many more examples

00:59:07 --> 00:59:10

do you want? Allah's protecting? Right? I mean, people aren't gonna

00:59:10 --> 00:59:14

throw you into a fire today in sha Allah. I mean, in some places they

00:59:14 --> 00:59:18

have in the Rohingyas and so on. Right but generally speaking,

00:59:18 --> 00:59:21

they're not going to put you into you know, they might someone I

00:59:21 --> 00:59:24

mean, I guess they do, waterboard people, right? But at the end of

00:59:24 --> 00:59:27

the day, Allah will Allah will give you safety eventually Allah

00:59:27 --> 00:59:31

will give you the ultimate reward for all of this

00:59:32 --> 00:59:35

so then loot ally some stories mentioned as the primary so I'm

00:59:35 --> 00:59:39

sorry, but again, his people that problem is mentioned. And then the

00:59:39 --> 00:59:42

response to that as well. It's gonna be other call Robinson the

00:59:42 --> 00:59:45

alchemy of stealing. Then he actually mentioned that when the

00:59:45 --> 00:59:48

people first came to destroy Lutheranism, they first came to

00:59:48 --> 00:59:51

O'Brien when it's time to give him glad tidings. Right about a child

00:59:51 --> 00:59:55

that's mentioned. And then after they went to loot Ali salaam, and

00:59:55 --> 00:59:58

they went to do to Ali Salam and then they destroyed them, but

00:59:58 --> 00:59:59

Allah again protected him and

01:00:00 --> 01:00:03

The believers with them. And then after that, it talks about

01:00:03 --> 01:00:06

meridian, and Srivari, salaam, and so on. And then the iron anthem

01:00:06 --> 01:00:10

within brief then Karuna and Fiona Hamana. Just reminded were

01:00:10 --> 01:00:13

reminded about them again. And then the discussion is

01:00:15 --> 01:00:19

about uncovered, how is that relevant? So that comes in verse

01:00:19 --> 01:00:24

41, that those people who take friends associates, besides Allah,

01:00:24 --> 01:00:28

who take Gods and other lords and everything besides Allah, the,

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

the,

01:00:31 --> 01:00:33

the strength of that friendship, the strength of that belief, or

01:00:33 --> 01:00:39

whatever is committed will uncover this just like a spiderweb wide is

01:00:39 --> 01:00:41

very intricate, and very, there's, I mean, if you've seen the way a

01:00:41 --> 01:00:45

spider spins, its web, it's fascinating closeup of it, I've

01:00:45 --> 01:00:48

seen it, it's on YouTube, you can you can check it up. It's quite

01:00:48 --> 01:00:50

amazing, right, you don't have to go and see it and all along. But

01:00:52 --> 01:00:56

the point is that it is so I mean, I'm looking down there as though

01:00:56 --> 01:00:59

there's a spider web, their machine is actually very clean.

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

They don't think they've got any spider webs. But generally, it's

01:01:01 --> 01:01:05

in a corner. So it's as weak because you just take something

01:01:05 --> 01:01:08

through it, and it's dead. It's gone. All of the intricate work is

01:01:08 --> 01:01:12

gone. So intricate intrigues or whatever the case is, in a moment,

01:01:12 --> 01:01:16

it will be gone it has no staying power. That's the whole point. It

01:01:16 --> 01:01:18

says all of these that you take on besides Allah, they just like the

01:01:18 --> 01:01:23

spider web into the beta or the or rather the spider, which basically

01:01:24 --> 01:01:28

builds a house right so uncovered the spider that builds the house,

01:01:28 --> 01:01:32

when Oh handle booth elevator anchor booth, but the weakest

01:01:32 --> 01:01:37

abodes the weakest of homes is that of the spider LOCARIO

01:01:37 --> 01:01:42

palemoon, if only they knew, finally finishes, what will kill

01:01:42 --> 01:01:45

him Thurlow. Now the reboot, the NASA spent ultimate verse, These

01:01:45 --> 01:01:50

are examples that we strike for people. But though they're so

01:01:50 --> 01:01:55

clear, when I kill her in the early moon, only the ones who know

01:01:55 --> 01:01:59

will comprehend them, Allah creates the heavens and earth has

01:01:59 --> 01:02:03

created the heavens and earth with truth. And in it huge signs for

01:02:03 --> 01:02:04

the believers.

01:02:05 --> 01:02:08

So just to quickly recap now,

01:02:10 --> 01:02:11

as we finish this off

01:02:14 --> 01:02:18

I think I've pointed out all the verses from here that I wanted to

01:02:18 --> 01:02:20

point out, and then there's some very prominent verses coming in

01:02:20 --> 01:02:23

the rest of the surah in the remaining part of this where we

01:02:23 --> 01:02:28

should have been Jews 20. But anyway, it starts off with sort of

01:02:28 --> 01:02:32

the normal part of it starts off with establishing the points of

01:02:32 --> 01:02:37

Tawheed and the lessons from there, then it discusses the some

01:02:37 --> 01:02:41

depictions of the Day of Judgment, then we start sort of to the

01:02:41 --> 01:02:44

causes, and in the discusses those people who are considered to be

01:02:44 --> 01:02:49

downtrodden, subjugated and weak and how Allah subhanaw taala is

01:02:49 --> 01:02:53

going to give them ascendancy and then after that, how he gives them

01:02:53 --> 01:02:57

a sense see through the stories of Musa al Islam, his mother, the

01:02:57 --> 01:03:00

nursing the Pharaoh, and so on and so forth.

01:03:01 --> 01:03:04

How Allah subhanaw taala strengthens the hearts of a single

01:03:04 --> 01:03:07

woman like the mother of Musa al Islam that goes to show how we can

01:03:07 --> 01:03:10

do that for any other mother. Right. Then after that there's the

01:03:10 --> 01:03:13

discussion about the cops and the killing of the cop. Then there's

01:03:13 --> 01:03:16

the discussion about the daughters of Srivalli Salaam and Musa

01:03:16 --> 01:03:20

Islam's encounter there, then his marriage and so on. The wife of

01:03:20 --> 01:03:24

Pharaoh is discussed. Then there's the discussion about him being

01:03:24 --> 01:03:27

supported by which I didn't mention but him being supported by

01:03:27 --> 01:03:31

Harun Ali salaam, and that's been told that sometimes you can't do

01:03:31 --> 01:03:33

it yourself. Now a lot of guys they think they can do it

01:03:33 --> 01:03:37

themselves. No, sometimes you need assistance, right? So for example,

01:03:37 --> 01:03:40

a lot of work that I do here, I've got an assistant Allah subhanaw

01:03:40 --> 01:03:43

taala has provided me this smile right but they smile as an

01:03:43 --> 01:03:48

assistant. So that that happens and they they take a share in the

01:03:48 --> 01:03:51

benefits and everything like that as well. Then after that you it's

01:03:51 --> 01:03:55

the discussion about to the to the machine that you must believe the

01:03:55 --> 01:03:58

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and lessons to be drawn

01:03:58 --> 01:04:02

from the Bani Israel. Then Allah subhanahu wa Tada has discussion

01:04:02 --> 01:04:07

about Qarun his story. And before that was signs, again some

01:04:07 --> 01:04:10

phenomena from the heavens and earth that Allah discusses. Then

01:04:10 --> 01:04:14

at the end of spiritual classes, we have this discussion that just

01:04:14 --> 01:04:19

like fear, just like Musa Islam is sent out from his city then he

01:04:19 --> 01:04:22

comes back. The idea is that for the province of Allah Islam,

01:04:22 --> 01:04:24

something similar is going to happen. That's exactly what

01:04:24 --> 01:04:26

happened. He came back to Morocco, Morocco, Rama, then Surah Al and

01:04:26 --> 01:04:30

caribou discussed all the fitness and the trials and tribulations

01:04:30 --> 01:04:35

and challenges that believers will face has have always faced and

01:04:35 --> 01:04:39

will face as well. Right in terms of from your family,

01:04:40 --> 01:04:44

physically speaking in your health and whatever dunya we aspects,

01:04:44 --> 01:04:48

possessions of aspects of the world, influence positions, and so

01:04:48 --> 01:04:53

on. And just the general, other fitna of the long path of Dawa is

01:04:53 --> 01:04:56

told us to talk to us through the story of new Haile Salam. And

01:04:56 --> 01:05:00

that's why there's a there's a last verse

01:05:00 --> 01:05:03

of this surah right it fits beautifully, which will highlight

01:05:03 --> 01:05:07

tomorrow if I don't just remind me the last verse of sortal Angkor

01:05:07 --> 01:05:11

Wat clinches at all. Well, Adina Jaha do fina, Lana had Vietnam

01:05:11 --> 01:05:16

sabudana those who make an effort in our path, we will guide them to

01:05:16 --> 01:05:20

our paths. Now those who make an effort for us, right, we will

01:05:20 --> 01:05:22

guide them to our paths.

01:05:24 --> 01:05:26

So that ends that. So now I'm going to ask you a question that

01:05:26 --> 01:05:29

did you figure out I hope you figured out the prominent

01:05:30 --> 01:05:35

in certain classes, individuals that played a very prominent role.

01:05:37 --> 01:05:40

Now of course, you guys sitting wherever you are in America, in

01:05:40 --> 01:05:45

Malaysia, in Australia, in England, in India, Mashallah.

01:05:45 --> 01:05:50

Right, I hear you, right? I can't hear you hear you whether you are

01:05:50 --> 01:05:52

basically the person sitting in front of the computer and

01:05:52 --> 01:05:56

listening, those who are taking notes notes, those who are maybe

01:05:56 --> 01:06:01

listening, which I don't suggest, but while you're cooking some of

01:06:01 --> 01:06:03

the sisters who are who are doing that because it's going to be

01:06:03 --> 01:06:06

Iftari time soon, right? Who are doing some other work or whatever

01:06:06 --> 01:06:08

the case is, I can't hear you, but

01:06:10 --> 01:06:14

I will reveal it tomorrow, inshallah. And just to remind me,

01:06:14 --> 01:06:17

if I don't, I will reveal it tomorrow in the beginning, a very

01:06:17 --> 01:06:19

promising just look through this certain characters, certain

01:06:19 --> 01:06:22

individuals I've pointed out, right, they play a very prominent

01:06:22 --> 01:06:25

part in here, right? There's a spotlight on that. So inshallah we

01:06:25 --> 01:06:29

will see you tomorrow. May Allah subhanho wa Taala allow us to live

01:06:29 --> 01:06:33

to complete this and long more to get a good understanding of the

01:06:33 --> 01:06:38

Quran. And may Allah subhanaw taala make us of those who really

01:06:38 --> 01:06:40

understand the Quran before we pass away and who can really

01:06:40 --> 01:06:44

benefit from the Quran and who can be infused with the baraka and the

01:06:44 --> 01:06:46

blessings of the Quran sunnah Inshallah, in the hereafter we can

01:06:46 --> 01:06:49

ascend and we can become better believers in this world. Working

01:06:49 --> 01:06:52

with that one I will Hamdulillah he Robben Island me
