hamdulillah nabina Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala se even more
serene Weida earlier he was Safi or Baraka was seldom at the
Sleeman Kathira on Ilario Medina, Amma Hamdulillah. After completing
the 27th we start the 28 Jews of the Quran, which has nine suitors
in the majority of them are Madani surah. So there's quite a few
rulings and laws and other legal matters that are discussed there
along with discussion of the hypocrites. That's a big feature
of the Medina and sewers. So Inshallah, let's see, Inshallah,
we're hoping that we can cover this in the time that we have. And
we ask Allah subhana wa Taala for assistance, we ask Allah subhanho
wa Taala for help. So the first Surah is called sola to Musa della
Surah Al muda muda della Jha della Yuja. That means to debate to
dispute to debate, so it's called the debate. And there's a
reasoning and a backdrop for that. It's a Madani Surah, with only 22
verses, longer verses, they're not short, like some of the other
suitors and there's three sections in there. And
as I mentioned, he mentions some things relating to the monarchy
and also has some legal rulings that are mentioned in the the
first story that starts with for the first several verses, it's
about a case to do with the heart. So this is actually a surah that's
named after a incident relating to a woman Hola. Hola. Been to been
to thirdlove Hola. been to Thailand, or the Allahu anha. It's
her story, essentially. And she came to argue a case with the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and that's why it's called
the debate. That's why it's called the debate because of maybe the
style that she used. It was called the debate. She was a wife, she is
the wife of us, ignore Sam it also have an assignment or the Allahu
Anhu. And she came with his complaint. And you know, did it
very boldly in front of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam. And it was about the heart. The heart is this old Jaya
Helia custom, where they used to say to their wife that you are
like my mother's back or something like that. And that meant that it
would be haram forever. It was like a Talaq divorce forever, they
will become haram forever. And Islam changed that rule and said
that that's not true. If you need to, you need to expiate for it,
right? You need to expiatory if you expiate, for it, then there's
no divorce and you can get back together again. So that was a
discussion and those laws came down that
refreshing of those laws. So you can say, implementing the proper
laws of that is mentioned in these first several verses. So it starts
off with cut Samir, Allahu Kola, Leti, to the look of his zodiac,
beautiful, I mean, how Allah subhanaw taala must have loved her
style or what she came to do. So Allah says that He Allah has heard
the statement of the one who came to dispute and debate with you,
regarding your husband, and who clay would then complain to Allah
subhanaw taala it's a longer story. And it's got several
several more details to which I don't have the time to go into but
Allah says Allah Yes, Mark with the Hora Kumar Allah was listening
to your discussion, your discourse he was listening to Allah is fully
listening and seeing and then the and then the rulings are mentioned
about it. So thereafter, certain Bucha data includes the following
several
issues are big, big issues. One of the big issues that begins with
you can say from
you can say Yeah, from verse seven, also from seven so it's a
discussion about whispering, intimate discourse, Secret, secret
meetings, and especially in front of other people to hold secret
meetings and secret discourses so that the other person can't hear.
And the hadith is very clear about that the Hadith I'll just mention
the Hadith you the Hadith mentions that if there's three of you, two
of you should not whisper to one another, you know, so that the
third person is not grieved by that because they're going to feel
left out they're gonna feel that you're speaking about maybe about
him. That's why this ruling also extends to two people speaking in
another language independence of a third person. So if me and
somebody speaking Urdu or Arabic, or Gujarati or Turkish, right, and
the third person does
and understand it, it could be like unless they know that you've
got some important discus and nothing about him, you'd have to
make take measures to figure that out. Likewise, if there's four of
you three of you shouldn't have that disclose leaving one out.
Yes, if there's four and to have that disclosed to on the other
side, then that's fine because they've got somebody else to talk
to. Likewise in our masajid especially, you know, when we've
got mashallah some very ethnic oriented Masjid like you've got to
do speaking masjid or an Arabic or Somali speaking masjid, you got a
newcomer, especially a convert when they come? Right? Sometimes,
you know, you need to really make them feel welcome. If people carry
on their own languages and to the exclusion of that person, then
that could grieve them. And not that you must include them in
every discussion. I mean, but you otherwise take apologize, that
look, there's something we just need to discuss, if you don't
mind. And if you do it nicely, then that would be fine. So all of
that discussion is being there. But the backdrop of it is that
this has a backdrop that many of you heard of Madina Munawwara they
had this attitude of in front of Muslims, believers, when they were
there, they would start to talk and snigger and say things within
one another, to cause some grief to the person listening to the
Muslim that was listening. So this seems like a kind of a habit that
they had. And aside from that, when they would come to the
Prophet sallallahu recently started having these other
attitudes like with a really weird face, they would say salam,
Aleykum Selam aleykum, right, which Sam means death, so death be
upon you. And he made it sound like it's Salam or Aleikum. Allah
subhanho wa Taala takes this on. And he discusses this. And he says
that when you when you whisper to one another, if you're doing it
for the sake of a sin, or enmity or disobedience to the Messenger
of Allah, then that is wrong and so on. Yes, if you sometimes have
to do this, for good reason for a pious reason for righteous reason,
that is allowed, saying that this kind of whispering is from the
shaytaan. Write, so that he can grieve the people who believe, but
you're not going to harm them in any way unless Allah wills and it
is upon Allah that the believers should trust. And that's verse 10.
Thereafter, the next since Allah subhanaw taala is talking about
some communal etiquette and social adaption and conduct, then Allah
discusses the thing about when you come into the masjid, or anywhere,
for that matter, you're not allowed to push somebody out of
their place, whereas first there, they should stay there. Allah
Subhan Allah says, when a newcomer does come, then the officer who
filled my journalists, that's in verse 11, right or people who
believe when it's said to you that you should make some space for
uncovers then you should do so you shouldn't stick to your place
them, right first of all, you make space, then Allah will make space
for you. Right? However, if you're told to disperse and leave after a
gathering, then you should do that. Especially if you know
there's a reasonable now this is these are not necessarily
obligations. These are based on ethical. So they're not for the YG
or things like that. But they are based on etiquette, they're good
ethics and so on. And that's what you're saying, when you're told to
dispose, you should dispose and Allah subhanaw taala below this,
this is a verse to point out your father in law who Latina and whom
income while Latina Otto el Madala jet wala who be my terminal hobby
at end of verse 11. Allah will raise those of you who believe
Allah will raise them, elevate them, give them honor, and, and
those who've been who've been given knowledge. So again, there's
an encouragement for studying whatever you can study, whatever
you can study, right? Allah gives them Allah will raise them many
stages. Allah subhanaw taala is Knowing of everything that you do.
Then the next verse 12, is that in order to stop those people coming
in and bothering the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with
just an excuse that they wanted to come and see him they would just
come and waste his time. Right? You get called sometimes like that
people just coming to waste your time. Right? So here, Allah
subhanaw taala saying that when you do go to speak privately to
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, either energy, Tomas will
then give some sadaqa beforehand. Now that stopped a lot of people,
because giving sadaqa beforehand, that was an easy, why would you
pay to go and mess around with somebody thereafter that Allah
subhanho wa Taala mentions a few other things which are really
important from you can say, the second part of this chapter, verse
14 Or so they were the McAfee team, right? So they were not your
hood, but they knew that you who didn't like the Muslims at that
time, right? So they would actually combine with them, they
would ally with them, they would secretly plan things with them,
they would support one another in you know, they would do it
secretly. And they were both doing it because there was an agreement
you have to remember, there was an agreement that was made between
them, which I'll discuss in another in another chapter. And
that's why Allah subhanaw taala mentioned that you should not be
befriending that befriending them.
Do you not see those who be
Friends, a people who Allah subhanaw taala showered his anger
upon, right Maha min Kamala Amin whom they're not from among you,
these women African are not from among you, right? Allah subhanaw
taala has prepared a severe punishment. And then after that it
mentions that, you know, their wealth and everything that
children need can't be of any benefit to them.
And finally, Allah subhanaw taala distinguishes between and the
wording used is quite strong. It's called Hezbollah and the
Hezbollah. shaytaan. So the Hezbollah here does not refer to
those guys in Lebanon. Right? This is the true Hezbollah, the true
group of Allah which Allah subhanho wa Taala describes here.
So Allah first describes those people, the monastic mean, first
that they are the Hizbul shaytaan. They are basically the his means a
group, the group of the shaytaan, because the reason is that they
would support people who were anti Islam at that time, right? That's
why it says then that
lethargy to call me up and gonna be like, the final long verse
here, verse 22, is, you will not find the people who believe in
Allah and the Last Day, who would then hold friendship or love those
people who've gone against Allah and His Messenger, even if those
people were their fathers, their children, their brothers, or
their, their tribe members. Because these are the people who
Allah has written Iman in their heart like embedded the man in
their heart, and Allah subhanho wa Taala has supported them with a
spirit from him, will enter them into Jannah. And Allah is well
satisfied with them and they're satisfied with Allah this is the
other place in the Quran, where are the Allahu Anhu what to do and
is used and this is about about the people with iman right? These
are the Hezbollah these are the, this is the contingent of Allah.
And it is Allah's contingent that will always be successful. What is
what is mentioned about these people, right, those who don't do
this are basically people who have emailed Allah will Iman in their
heart, Allah will assist them and Allah subhanaw taala will grant
them paradise. And number four, Allah is satisfied with them. So
that's what you learn from here, right now and hamdulillah with
that, this surah has been completed. One verse I want to
just point out in verse 21, Allah promises gettable Allah, remember
katiba katha is prescribed. So cookiebot aleikum wa see I'm
fasting has been prescribed upon it. That's the term. Allah here
says, Allah has prescribed and written and determined that
luckily been the anniversary that me and Allah and His messengers,
they were going to be successful. And Allah has all Allah has all
strengthened might to do that. Now we move on to the next one. We
literally have timed it for nine stories we have about just less
than seven minutes each. So make dua that we can do that some
students are going to require a bit longer. Let's see what
happens. The next surah is called surah. Al Hasha. Hasha means
either the gathering or driving everybody together somewhere.
She's called sorta to Hashem or you can say, the driving somebody
out. So there's various translations that you can find for
this. Again, it's a muddy Surah 24 verses and three sections, you can
set this up into relatively longer, longer verses. They're not
short, short, like some of the others that we've read before. And
the following are the discussions in here it's got some really
important discussions. Firstly, Allah subhanaw taala starts off by
telling us it's one of the most happy hearts a Subhanallah and
maybe somewhere to my fellow for Allah subhanho wa Taala everything
in the heavens and earth, glorify Allah, and He is Almighty and and
so on. Then after that Allah subhanaw taala starts the
discussion about a particular incident that took place in Madina
Munawwara now several of these soldiers here relate to the hood
of Madina, Munawwara and the Muna 15, as I mentioned, because that
those were the biggest foes once you didn't have problems from the
outside from the coloration from Makkah and everybody the bigger
problems were from inside or from either the mafia teen, or it was
from the the hood of Madina Munawwara now, what's going on
here is that the first thing Allah subhanaw taala then talks about is
he mentioned some of the some of the aspects of his power, some of
the effects of it, some of the evidences of it in the heavens and
so on. And thereafter that the understanding is that you see the
year who had had been in Madina, Munawwara for many, many, many,
many centuries and generations, from one of their diasporas when
they had to leave Jerusalem. They found that Madina Munawwara
Yathrib, at the time, fitted the bill of this oasis that they'd had
written in their books. So that's why they came down, there were
three tribes that were settled there. Most of them were very,
very well off not only that they had the business in their hands.
So economically, they were extremely stable. In fact, they
were superior in that sense, and because of their money lending at
that time, they basically had so many people under the subjugated
under them because they all owe them money. The other thing that
they've done is that they inhabited the southern area of
Madina Munawwara and they had huge fortified
castles of forts, right? There are very strong, very strong forts.
And they, you know, you hear the discussion about that sometimes.
So they essentially were very arrogant. Because of that they
thought, we've got the money, we've got the strength, we've got
the economy, and because of that, nothing's going to happen to us.
But what Allah subhanaw taala shows through here is that what
they had to then face is that they literally were all evicted, not
just from Madina Munawwara but there was another tribe in Haber,
as well. And they had to leave from there as well. Finally, from
the Arabian Peninsula, they had to be forced in shops, some groups
during the time the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi, wasallam, and
those who are left, they started causing problems afterwards, an
homage to the Allahu Anhu got rid of them as well. So eventually,
they all had to go. And this was something that was so you can say,
unbelievable, not only for them, you know, not only for themselves,
but also for the people of Makkah, the Quraysh of Makkah, the Arabs
of Makkah, they would never imagine that the yahood would have
to actually leave Madina Munawwara ever because of the way they were
just so settled, and just so you know, and that basically goes as a
lesson for all of us today that any group anywhere in the world, I
think that you know, whether that be in China with the with the with
our Muslim brothers there, whether that be in Palestine or in in any
other place, if people mess around if people cause so corruption in
the world. Right, the the Rohingya case, in Myanmar, in India, all of
these places. I mean, if you cause corruption, you're not going to
last for too long. Because that's instability in the world, as we
read with insert Rama and yesterday, right? Allah has placed
the balance and anybody upsets that balance is upsetting the law
of Allah. And Allah subhanho wa Taala comes down hard on such
people. This is the surah that is basically telling us about this,
that when they went against covenants, when they went against
peace treaties, when they started becoming arrogant, and let me just
read to you this will provide a backdrop to many of these sources.
So what happened was that this, this sort of sort of drill hasha
was actually revealed in the second year after the migration of
the Prophet sallallahu sallam, right. And initially, because they
they went into it, they agreed a treaty with the Jewish tribes, the
Arab tribes and Jewish tribes, they'll have a peaceful
coexistence. They'll defend one another of any possible attacks of
the pagans, America, for example, because that was where it was.
Now, the problem is that, despite this treaty, for whatever reason,
they were not satisfied the hood were not satisfied. So the Jewish
tribes living there, they began to
conspire against the Muslims. And they tried to harm Muslims in
whatever they the way they could. In fact, on one occasion, the
province of Israel had to visit the Blue Nile D, which was one of
the Jewish clans or tribes in Medina, write about about
implementing, implementing some aspects of a treaty, what they did
was they secretly had a person stand somewhere above a building
or somewhere, and when the person was going to go past, they were
going to throw a large rock on him to kill him. They couldn't come
and openly kill him. So they were going to do it this way, by hiring
somebody to do that. But Alhamdulillah Allah subhanho wa
Taala
the prophets Allah was told about this. So then the Prophet SAW was
announced that our treaty has ended now, because you guys are
always traitors in your is betraying us. So that's when the
treaty ended. And they were asked to leave Medina mana at that
particular tribunal, the very wealthy, they were told to leave,
right. And
he said, if they don't leave, then the Muslims would attack them now
because they had been betrayed so many times. Now, the hypocrites
they started telling the Medina and they started telling this
tribe of the Jews that you should not submit because we're going to
help you. Right? Don't worry, we've got your back for you. Now
on the assurance I mean, when African can never be trusted on
the assurance that poor banana leaves, they didn't leave Medina,
within the period that was given that you should leave in that
time, because afterwards you're you know, you're not going to be
protected anymore. So the Prophet saw some that beseech their forts,
and obviously no hypocrites, right? No hypocrite came to the
help afterwards. Right. Ultimately, they had to surrender
and then they were banished from Madina Munawwara they were allowed
actually to take all of their wealth with them except their own
and accept their weapons, they were allowed to take all of their
wealth and they pretty much took everything, including nails and
everything. It's a whole discussion about that. And that's
why some have actually called salted hashes sort of Bernina, the
Sunnah of the balloon of it, because it's primarily about them.
So that's the backdrop of the surah okay.
Now, eventually, when they had to leave, and there was still a lot
of miles aneema There's still a lot of faith that came but no,
there was no battle here because they left but there was a lot of
wealth that was that came to the Muslims, and Allah subhanaw taala.
Now in these next verses six and seven, relates the rightful owners
of that we had sought to unfurl sorbitol and fall, which was about
when you have a war and you get the spoils of war. This one is
where there's no war.
and you get it through a treaty, alright or through some agreement,
then in that case the Mujahideen do not receive this wealth. Okay?
So when there is no war in a war situation where there's a fight,
then the Mujahideen get a big share of the of the wealth, right
of the spoils. But when it's not, then the Mujahideen don't get that
then it's for Allah and His Messenger, as Allah says here for
Allah, He will Eros holy, and for the relatives and for the team,
the orphans and for the poor people and for the ignorance
Sybil. Then Allah mentions a very important economical economics
principle, Kala Jacobina do let them banal agonia income, just so
that wealth is not something that is just passed around among the
wealthy. And essentially, that's what's happening today in the
world, right? The few are basically buying from one another,
right? They're doing trade with one another, they're investing
with one another. So that means the money is being concentrated in
a few people and the others don't get access to it. Then Allah
mentioned something else very important. Another important rule
of Islam, whatever the message messenger gives you, brings to you
whatever accepted and take it, whatever He prohibits you from
then abstain from it, fear Allah, Allah is Severe in his punishment.
That is all in verse seven, Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions an
important praise for the unsolved the unsolved and the Mahajan. In
the above mentioned here, Allah says in verse the next verse eight
min for corral Mahajan Alladhina Collegium in the year when he met
a wonderful Grameen Allah who were Edwina when Saul and Allah so
that's for the faqeer Maha God in that they had to basically abandon
everything and move to Madina, Munawwara. Then Allah mentions the
praise of the unsavoury that when these Muslims came from in the
migration from Maka, maka, Rama to Madina, Munawwara mashallah, you
hit bounnam and heard Euro la him, they loved it, they loved those
people who migrated to them, right? Well, I didn't refuse to do
him Hello Jemima gutu And they weren't they didn't have any
problem in their heart with you know, welcoming them and giving
them things and so on. Where you feel Runa Allah and when Lisa
Donsol mashallah, they would give preference over themselves, even
if they had the most severe hunger, afflict them. And there's
that famous story of that sahabi, who took a guest of the professor
Larson to his house, he only had food for one person, right? And so
for him and for his family, but because the guests had come you
shut the lights gave the food to the guests made, the guests feel
like he's eating as well, whereas he dedicated all to the guests
because that's all the food here, got children to sleep, hungry. And
the next day, this verse is their Masha Allah, that they give
preference over themselves, even if they are in severe hunger
themselves. And that Allah sends a good reminder it says that whoever
is saved from the extreme avarice and greed of themselves, than they
are the successful people, may Allah protect us from every sin,
greed, there's a lot of good other points in there, which we don't
have the time to mention. But thereafter that Allah subhanaw
taala in the last section of this from verse 18, you will Adina
Manu, Manu Takala are people who believe fear Allah, this is the
famous last section in which the verse about Allah's names is
mentioned who Allahu Allah de la ilaha illa, who, essentially Allah
is telling the people of belief that you should fear Allah
subhanaw taala because if you don't fear him, don't become like
those people who forgot Allah. And then Allah made them forget
themselves, meaning made them forget what was good for
themselves. That's why they just then focused on the dunya they
forget about what's going to happen to them in the Hereafter,
and they became the people of the Hellfire. Then Allah subhanho wa
Taala mentioned in verse 21, the next verse, that if ALLAH, do you
understand the value you have in the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala
says that if he was to reveal this Quran upon a mountain, and if he
was gift to, if he was make may, if he was to make a smart
mountain, with
intelligence, right consciousness, and then he was to give the put
the Quran onto that mountain, the mountain would out of the Reverend
fear for what has been placed upon it, the burden that's been placed
upon it, it would basically blow up into into particles, you know,
through the fear of Allah subhanaw taala. Allah says says that these
are examples and then the last few verses are all about the Beautiful
Names of Allah subhanho wa taala. And the sort of then ends
mashallah with the similar way that he started which is by
praising Allah you said, Behold, Allah, He, you said the hula hoop
is somehow it will have everything in the heavens and earth praise
Allah. Doesn't matter what you guys do, but remember everything
that Allah everything praises Allah subhanaw taala and he's the
Mighty One and the wise one is also a Medina in surah. And it's
called Surah to moonta Hina monta Hina
Montana, the examiner about examination. It's about testing
somebody. And when I get to it, I'll explain that to you. It has
only 13 verses again, they're very large verses and two sections. I
At the beginning is the discussion. Yeah, you're Latina
ruleta Who do I do? We were I do welcome earlier about a particular
incident in Madina Munawwara oh people who believe do not take my
enemies and your enemies. So they both are enemies do not make them
friends, associates partners, right? That you extend the how
hand of love to them that you extend love to them, right even
though they basically they disobeyed Allah right? Whatever
truth has come. And they've remember these are the same. These
are talking about the people of Makkah. What happened is that the
Prophet sallallaahu son was going to attack right was going to go to
Morocco, Morocco, Rama, there was a Sahabi is a battery Sahabi but
Sahabas from bother. Consider one of the elite hierarchies, right
and they got through Iman in them. And they've been given guarantee
of that almost right, as mentioned in a hadith and so on. However,
there's one of them he had no family in Medina, Mona, we're not
many contexts. Most of his family are still in Makkah macaron. He
knew that the Muslims were going to be victorious. He knew he was
going to walk over. Now just to see that when the McCanns would
find out that the Muslims are coming. They don't start attacking
family members of the Muslim members in Madina Munawwara you
know, of those who are in Makkah, he wanted to just like get a
favor. So he knew that we're going to win anyway. The Muslims are
going to win, but he with a old woman, he sent a letter scrolled
written and then either put into her belt, or in her house, and he
sent that to them, telling them that this is the planet of the
Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, it's kind of a really weird hybrid
kind of idea that he's got true faith, but he did this because
later and the Prophet saw some found out.
He was told by revelation from Allah subhanho wa Taala he said
earlier the Allahu Anhu another Sahaba that go to this place
called Rhoda to hug. There you will find a woman right it's
amazing. And she's got a letter from her divinity belt that you
must take it from her when they got there. They found this woman
exactly as mentioned, says I got no woman I got no letter idea
didn't say you must have it. If you don't. We're gonna have to
check you thoroughly denude you whatever the case is, she then
pulled it out. Right? And it was exactly this letter. Now, Amara
deal is very angry, obviously, should I strike his head off? He
must be manavi Personal said no, he's got true faith. He felt very,
very remorseful, how to be able to affect various work. So this is
Allah subhanaw taala is saying that this is not the way to do
things is not the way to curry favors with people. You have to be
on Allah subhanaw taala aside, I mean, how can you be your own
enemies, right? They're your own enemies, and they've thrown you
out of my karma, karma and all the rest of it. And it's really
touching very emotional to read about this, right.
And
saying that London Pharaoh Kumar, ham, Okinawa, Hola, your, your,
your, your family, relatives, your your children, none of that will
help you on the Day of Judgment, all of that will be separated,
each person will be independent, in their own right to stand in
their own shoes to deal with their own reckoning. And then Allah
subhanaw taala provides an example of Ibrahim Ali Salam that you
should never never make a treaty with such people you should never
secretly join with these people against your own people. That's
just completely wrong. Right? And Allah gives the example of Ibrahim
and says Haven't you got an example in Ibrahim Ali salaam,
that when his people refused to leave the ship? He said, Okay, I'm
exonerated from you. I'm free of you. I'm going right.
And likewise with his father and so on, so he's saying that you,
you people look up to Ibrahim Al Islam, this is what he did. You
should do the same thing. And then there's some dollars that are
made. Our Lord do not make us a fitna, for those who disbelieve
and forgive us our Lord. That's verse five. Right? And look at
Ghana look and see him also don't Hasina thereafter. This is what
happened. Now, this is very interesting, the Sahaba whatever
Allah said, they used to do. Now, as soon as they heard that, they
many of them had relatives that were still disbelievers, they
started cutting ties with them. They started cutting ties with
their brothers, their father, if there was a disbeliever their
children, whoever it was. So Allah subhanaw taala said, No, that's
not what we want. We don't want you to be such exclusivist that
you don't talk to anybody and you have you know, you basically shun
everybody and abandon everybody. No, that's not the idea. These two
beautiful verses which are used in many interfaith discussions, verse
seven, and eight are very important as Allah who actually
the next one as well, seven, eight and nine, it's very close, that
maybe, between you and those people who have severe enmity
right now, Allah will create love, right? They will become love
between you. Allah has ability and exact exactly when they showed
good to these people, good etiquette to these people, Allah
subhanaw taala made them become believers in a few years. So all
of these families became Muslims eventually, but Allah subhanaw
taala says, Look, Allah does not prohibit you. Verse eight, from
those who do not fight with you in the deen. Right. They're not
fighting you for the deen and they did not
A evict you and throw you out of your cities. Right? You there's no
problem that you act well with them and that you act with them
injustice, Allah subhanaw taala loves those who act with justice
and who deal with people. Well, Allah only prohibits you from
those people who fight with you with regards to the dean and are
thrown out of your places, and who assist one another in taking you
out, and so on. These are if anybody who makes friends with
such people, they are the oppressors. And that's a clear
rule is anybody I mean, you call that treason, right? Anybody in
England who does that with with an enemy of England, they'll they'll,
they'll file them, they'll basically try them for treason.
That's what people this is what treason is I mean, you need some
kind of,
you know, you need some kind of
respect, mutual respect, mutual, you know, mutual laws in that
sense. Thereafter, the next verse, which is verse 10, Allah subhanaw
taala deals with another issue that they were, you know, there
was a treaty of who they be that if any Muslims came, so if anybody
came to Macomb, Accra, they'd have to send them back and so on.
However, what about women? Now, that was not mentioned in the
treaty. So, there was a famous disbeliever from a chemical Rama,
whose daughter became a Muslim, her name was unbuckle thumb and
his name was Aqua ignore be more he was big enemy of Islam. His
daughter became Muslim, and she migrated to Madina, Munawwara. And
then he came to ask for her back and said, It's the treaty, but the
process of treaty has got nothing to do with women refuse to send
him back, sorry, refuse to send her back with him. So he went
back. So that's why Allah subhanaw taala gives his whole ruling in
here of how to deal with them. Allah is saying, and this is why
this song is called sootel monta Hina or Montana, right reason is
that any of those women who come speak to them, examine the
meaning, have an interview with them. And if they've come for the
right reason, they've come for their faith, they come with
sincerity, they let them stay in Madina Munawwara so that's the
point that then after that, there's a few other rulings that I
mentioned, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is told that you know, when
the believing when women come to you to take beta with you, right
on the so on and so forth. Then make sure you take beta and seek
forgiveness for them. Allah subhanaw taala is all forgiving.
And then again, the last verse again says, oh, people who believe
do not make friends with people who Allah subhanaw taala showered
his anger upon and who have who've lost any hope of goodness in the
hereafter. Just like and Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned the
rest. So that's Surah Al monta and mum Davina that was mentioned. And
I've mentioned all of the important verses that I wanted to
highlight to you, right, so keep in mind the verse eight and seven,
eight and nine, those are very important verses. Now we move on
to the next Surah, which is called surah. to self, self means the row
and this refers to the Rose and this surah is again about jihad,
and about fighting in the Cause of Allah subhanho wa Taala standing
firm, Allah subhanaw taala as promised, like if you look at
verse eight, that always brings a lot of you know, when when you
hear so much aggression against Islam in different places, you
know, we're going to have to go through some suffering, that's
obvious, but Allah says that they intend the enemy's intent that
they extinguished the knower of Allah with their mouths, so
whether the mouse or physically whatever the case is, but Allah is
going to complete his light, even if the disbelievers dislike it.
That's why for us, it's important that do we want to stay on the
train or not? Because the thing is that the train of Islam is going
to get to his destination. But unfortunately, there will be
people who will be jumping off every now and then because of
some, maybe the AC isn't working inside, maybe there's going to be
too many people to come in, maybe there's going to be a lot of
aggression, somebody's going to throw start throwing stones,
they're going to say no, we're gonna get off, we can't deal with
this. So may Allah give us strength. So it's a Madani Surah
with only 14 verses, rather, you know, slightly more medium size
versus only two sections. Jihad and cattle is the discussion it
starts off as one of the most sub Behat prays glorified glory is
sorry, Allah is glorified by those who are in the heavens and the
earth. And he's all the mighty one. And then one of the first
discussions Allah provides here is that all people who believe why do
you say what you do not do? Stop saying things which you don't do
yourself? Right, acting hypocritically. Critically, right?
What a big lie it is according to Allah that you say things that you
do not do yourself. Right, then Allah subhanaw taala mentions
about Allah subhanaw taala loves those who fight in his past path,
soften, you know, strong forms in rows. That's why this surah is
called sort of soft, right? Got in the home. Dunya. And Omar says as
though they're very strongly embedded structure, right? They're
very firm in their battles. Thereafter, Allah subhanaw taala
telling the believers that you know, talking about Musa alayhis
salam and then isa alayhi salam, and how his peep their people
messed around with them and denied
Demonsaw on and how Allah subhanho wa Taala then this, disgrace them
and so on, very popular, very important verses verse six in
which Allah subhanaw taala mentions about isa Ali Salam, when
he started salaam Son of Mary said that I am the messenger of Allah
to you,
confirming that which came before me of the Torah, and also giving
you the glad tidings of a messenger that will come after me
whose name will be mud. This is where the prophet saw was, he was
referred to as Ahmed, the one who praises Allah Most Muhammad means
the one who is most praised by Allah and everybody. So today even
though we can't come in the last is Allah and Marshall in several
areas of London they've given permission in Germany, in in
Holland in numerous places. hamdulillah a shadow Anna,
Mohammad Rasool Allah is being proclaimed down out there, right
Allah is elevating the mention of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam
and locally, mashallah, we've had even praise from atheists that I'm
an atheist don't believe in any, but this is so soothing. It's so
wonderful. It's such a good change. Right? And it's beautiful.
They actually stopped playing their music to listen to it. We've
had several feedback like that locally Alhamdulillah. Alright.
Allah subhanho wa Taala then mentions in nine that he Allah is
the One who has sent his messenger with the guidance and the right
Deen so that he can make it dominate over all the other Dean's
even if the Mushrikeen don't like it. Exactly what happened in
exactly what happened in, in Arabia, many other parts of the
world right? Thereafter, Allah subhanho wa Taala tells the
believers shouldn't I indicate and tell you about a business that you
can do that will
save you from the punishment. And what that is simple. Believe in
Allah, message Allah, Allah's Messenger. And then you fight in
the path of Allah, you expend your wealth and your lives in the path
of Allah that is better for you, Allah will forgive and all of that
thereafter. The last point that's mentioning is that oh people who
believe be like those special Hawaii's of Asa Alayhis Salam. And
this is a special incident where a Saudi Salam said to them, man on
Saudi Illallah who are my assistants, you know, in our path
to Allah, the howardian said Nana and Salah we are your assistants,
we are your special, you know, your, your, your special people,
for Armand authority for the ministry raka for a Tyva so some
people have who have believed in him and others did not. But Allah
subhanaw taala assisted those who did believe against their enemies,
and they became dominant. So the prophets, Allah Islam is being
told to his people as well that be like those people that Allah
subhanaw taala will give you the same thing. The next Surah Al
Juma, somebody made a comment the other day that I'm speed reading
the Quran. I mean,
if you go back to the first, you know, that's exactly what we're
doing. We are trying to just give snippets just give overall
conclusions, main ideas, so that just creates a desire in you to
look at it in detail. You have the rest of your life insha Allah to
look at it in detail. Allah subhanaw taala help us next one is
suited to Joomla and there's some special laws about Friday that I
mentioned in here. That's why it's called sortal Joomla. And
obviously, it's a Madani Medina and Surah as well. 11 verses
relatively medium to light size versus to two sections in there.
And again, the whole there's a big theme that Jumo our part comes at
the end, but the big discussion there is about the Bani Israel.
Right? And it's talking about the winning side historically speaking
about the big Allah subhanaw taala had given them so many things and
Allah subhanaw taala had given them so much knowledge, right, the
Torah until today, mashallah the Torah is still being studied,
right? Until today, people are studying the Torah in synagogues
and everything like that. So they obviously take to it more than
Christians take to the Bible, it seems right they take it quite
seriously. So from a before they were doing that, the problem is
that Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions here is methyl Latina,
hamilo Torah, the Talmud and Muhammad Allah commentarial Hema,
yeah me too, as far as the idea that's mentioned here is that even
though mashallah they had the Torah and everything, they were
given the glad tidings and all of these gifts and bounties from
Allah subhanaw taala, that no other group had been given special
divine food and everything, they did not value it and they still
cause corruption, and they still cause problems and they would
change some of the laws. And they, so Allah gives a really bad
example, he gives an example a good example bad exam, however you
want to say that the example he gives is of a donkey that's been
put so many great,
valuable books on it, such that you know, he can't even stand up
properly, maybe sometimes, and it can benefit from it. So it's like
you got a truck, and you laden it with all these wonderful books
that you're gonna send to a library. I mean, there's no
benefit of that truck. I mean, you can say truck or, you know, the
FedEx car
We're right, the Amazon carrier, there's no benefit, there's no
benefit in it. So he's saying it's similar to that. And then Allah
subhanaw taala really comes down on them and says, oh, people who
are your hood, if you think that you are the friends of Allah
subhanho wa taala, you know, exclusively from anybody else,
then why don't you? Why don't you desire for death if you're
truthful, right? Because if you know that you're gonna get good
down there, and you're friends with Allah subhanaw taala. Nobody
else is there, why don't you desire death. But then Allah makes
it very clear in verse seven, while I am unknown to whoever that
they will never desire that because of what they've done,
because of the wrongs that they have done. And Allah subhanho wa
Taala is all knowing of the oppressors.
And then Allah mentions in general that you know, there's depth that
you're running away from, it's certainly going to catch up with
you. And then you're going to be returned to the one who knows the
Unseen, and the scene is going to tell you exactly what used to do.
So this, this was to try to help those people down there, to
basically tell these, the tribes that were there that you need to
stop doing tyranny you've got, we've got agreements with you, you
need to stop doing things behind our back, you need to stop
supporting the enemies, you need to stop plotting against us.
Right. And eventually, they had to leave a certain harsher mentioned.
Then the final few, two verses there. The three verses are people
who believe when the event is given on Friday, when the call is
given, then you should hasten, and you should abandon all, all all
all selling, going to most minima, the second level, and once that's
given some say, the first event because there's two events of July
now, before in terms of isolation, there's only one, but because more
people
were expanded, the OMA expanded, that's why they had to have
another event just to get people to know. So that's why many
onomastic is the second event that you cannot have any business so
Muslims should not be having their business, then there's a whole
difference of opinion as to whether you've got non Muslims
working there, can they continue to business and so on? Is it in
the Muslim area not. And this whole fact was written about that.
But the idea is that we're very different from, for example, the
Jewish faith and from the Christian faith, we are allowed to
work on Friday. So at Juma time, you're not allowed, right. And in
Muslim communities, they generally have everything shut on Friday
mornings, right to prepare for Joomla. After Joomla, everything
opens up, that's why the bazaars are open after Joomla That's why
Allah says that once a salad is finished, spread, disperse in the
earth, what that will mean for the biller and seek the Grace of Allah
and the grace of Allah many of interpret this as the wealth, you
can go and earn a living after Friday, you know, it's it's not
necessary must be a holiday, right? You can go on and living
it's not like the Jews were not allowed to, you know, do trade and
that on Friday on Saturdays and so on. You are allowed to do that.
Then Allah in the last verse mentioned about a particular
incident where there was some huge amount of spoils of war had come.
And the Muslims are very, very in dire straits. So the there was a
prayer about to take place or the prayer just finished. And when
they saw that, mashallah, all of this spoils that come, they all
rushed towards it, the person smiled, that, you know, they got
so much need and desperation. So he smiled at it, right? But then
the prophesy was mentioned that what Allah has a superior and I
fear that the dunya will finally open up to you, and then you'll
start competing with one another, that hadith is relevant to this as
well. Because they left the plot at the promise of settlement. They
said when they saw that Ijarah Allah when they run away from you,
and they leave you standing, so that's the discussion ends with
that. The next one is Surah termina Alfie Kohn, which is the
63rd Surah of the Quran. 63rd So we are over halfway, right? We are
over halfway 114 tours in the Quran. Out of that we've done 6362
tours. So we're over halfway Alhamdulillah and we've got three
days left to it. Well, we've got today, tomorrow and the next day
left to finish off the other I don't know 50 suitors or so.
May Allah make it easy.
All right, the next one is certainly gonna feel Kuhn. Now,
you know that we've already been discussing Mana 15 and Hippocrates
throughout, right, most modern historians have discussion on
monarchy in this one is called the monarchy again, because in this
sort of the entire surah is about them. Pretty much pretty much the
most of the surah is just about monarchy again. That's why it's
called the monarchy. It's a Madani Surah obviously with 11 verses to
two sections, it's been split into an in there it mentions I don't
know, several different o'clock of, of the Muna 15 It mentions
several different bad traits about them when I'm 15. So while the
malefic is gone, there's still a lot of people with those traits.
And that's why hasn't bossy Rahim Allah was asked that are there
still munaf 18 In surah he said if the Munna Fickian Wella. had to
leave the city of his time. He says the city wouldn't function
anymore. That's why his whole hotbar is very important. It's a
classical Arabic football. Have you heard that? Have you heard a
halacha? nasil Imani polam Bella, I'm a mama I defer to the lady
sobre y Iman on B
Lyor Cohen,
Mali Aurora, the journal and wallah are Coolen.
The Halal como Allah Haytham Maha Raju.
And the whole whole discussion then he discusses what a true
believer is, you should really get a copy of that hotbar and read it.
It's quite amazing. It's very insightful. Anyway, here the whole
surah is said about munaf again, and they're lying. So Allah starts
off by saying that McAfee can come to you and they say, that we bear
witness we testify that You are the messenger of Allah. Now, is it
only the Messenger of Allah courses? Yes, he is. So why are
they lying? Then Allah says, But and then Allah clarifies that he
says, First, Allah knows that you are His Messenger, right? So
there's no doubt about that. But Allah then says, Allah testifies
that the monastic in Elias, they come and say, You're the Messenger
of Allah. Allah knows you're the Messenger of Allah. But then Allah
is testifying that they are liars. How are they liars? When they
saying that You are the messenger of Allah? Is because they don't
really believe it. They're saying it verbally but testy vacation, it
should be something in your heart. So they're lying in terms of
what's in their heart. It's a beautiful conundrum. Let's discuss
the a lot of the whole month thick books discuss this issue. Anyway,
thereafter, Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned several things
about them. One is obviously lying, deception, plotting,
enmity, hatred,
the difference between the inner and outer, the hypocrisy of the
heart, the sickness of their heart in that sense, all of that is
discussion if you see verse 123. And they're stopping people from
the Path of Allah secretly behind their backs plotting behind their
backs. And this is because Allah says that they first said, they
believe that they disbelieve, so Allah, then their heart was
stamped sealed, so they will never understand now.
Now it says whatever, right? And when you see them, this is very
important to G Buka. At some of whom you're going to be amazed by
the physique. They look very imposing. They look very official,
they look very formal. They look very respectable, and dignified,
don't.
And if they speak, you will listen to them because there were some
really influential members of them who are like that, right? And
crucial Musa Yes, I'm gonna color say, hatin on him, but the problem
is, that they're so frightened inside, they think every cry is
about them. So they're always on their nerves. And and this is the
for the problem. Remember, the just about lying, say that if you
if you if you lie, so if you never lie, you never have to worry about
what you said in the past, because you'll always be telling the
truth. But if you lie, then you're constantly going to have to keep a
record of all the lies you've told to different people, so that your
story keeps matching each time you mentioned. Now imagine a person
who's a month goes living that attitude. Right? Who's living that
attitude? Can you imagine what's happening to their brain? It's
tough, right? What your brain has to go through. So Allah subhanaw
taala says that everything they think it's against them, remember
they are enemies, so be careful of them be aware of them. Allah is
going to fight them wherever they go. Chill incident that's
mentioned that on one occasion after one of the battles approx
arson was returning, and it was a bit of a vulnerable situation and
one, Abdullah Abdullah obey bin Salman, the chief monastic that I
keep mentioning about his son was a true believer, right? He, the
monastic, the hypocrite, he started this whole plan and
started saying that when we go back to Madina, Munawwara, those
of us who are dignified ie the monarchy again, etc, we're gonna
throw out all of these people, meaning the Muslims. So Allah
subhanaw taala reveals that in the Quran, in fact, that was the
occasion where even though his son loved him, but he was a true
believer. He confronted his father and he told him that he must
recant what he said, so ALLAH says in verse seven and eight, they're
the ones who say that do not spend on those who are with the
Messenger of Allah until they leave. But Allah says, when Allah
He has,
you know some word you want out of the water kin Munna fie in Allah
if Cohoon Allah has the treasures of the heavens and the earth but
these hypocrites they don't understand. Yaku Lunella era Jana
el Medina Tila youth regional as zoom in health as well. Right?
They say that when we return to Madina, Munawwara those who are
honorable among us, they're going to evict and throw out those who
are lowly and and downtrodden. Allah then says when in LA
Hilary's the two when he Rasool Rasulullah he was in many in our
KIN L Munna if you clean the moon, for Allah is all honor and might
and for His messenger and for the believers but the manavi kin don't
understand they don't know. Thereafter Allah subhanho wa
taala. After discussing them, everybody knew who they were
talking about, right? Allah subhanaw taala tells the believers
that look make sure that you as well, your wealth and your
children does not prevent you and distract you from the Dhikr of
Allah as it has done for them. That is a message
For us today, all right, and anybody who does that they're
going to be of the of the losers. And then Allah says spend spend
spend of that which we have given you before a day comes before the
death comes to you and then you say that how I wish you could give
me some more time, right that I go and do sadaqa Subhanallah if you
look at the entire Quran, I think this is maybe the only thing in
which Allah mentioned that a person would like to come back
into one of the or not only thing but one of the specific things
that a person would say at their deathbed that I wish I can go and
do more of sadaqa that's why there's just one or two days left
of Ramadan, right a few days left of Ramadan, try to give as much
sadaqa and even after Ramadan it's not just sadaqa is not just for
Ramadan, but it's easier in Ramadan and you do get more
rewards. So that is being encouraged because remember on our
deathbed will hope that we would have done more May Allah give us a
trophy by that certain Munna. 15 ends and we now move on to surah
Taha urban. Now, this is really getting difficult, surah Taha
urban, the Harbin is a mutual term that meaning profit and loss. And
it's referring to the Day of Judgment when people are going to
understand whether the good they did they got anything out of it or
not, or whether it was all a loss it was or a loan all a loss making
business that they did in this world. May Allah make us of those
who will be successful and profitable on that day, sir. Robin
is also a Madani surah and Allah starts off it's also Musa Bihar,
it's also one of those with a test me in the beginning, Allah,
those in the heavens and earth, they glorify Allah for Him is the
kingdom for him is all praise. He has ability over everything, first
part of it, Allah subhanaw taala you see, although this is a Medina
and Surah essentially it seems to be a mucky surah in terms of the
discussions of Allah subhanaw taala has power and his his
amazing creations and the evidence is to his existence in his oneness
in the heavens, Allah subhanho wa Taala has that whole discussion
all of his his some of his attributes are mentioned in that
seems like a very murky surah if you didn't know, however, it has a
few. It has a few other things in there. Allah subhanaw taala
discusses that you should do Shuker for his nema. That's that's
mentioned in here.
Allah subhanaw taala created you in the best of forms. All of that
discussion is here. However, verses five and six discuss those
who disbelieved and Allah and now they have to be punished.
Thereafter in verse seven, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada mentions
the Day of Judgment Zamyla vena cava, Allah Ubuntu or rather the
resurrection on the Day of Judgment, that you will be
resurrected. And then after that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada mentions
that day of judgment from verse nine, The Day when He will gather
everybody together that will be that day of profit and loss as
such. And Allah mentioned that those who believe in Allah and do
good deeds, Allah will remove their bad traits from them their
bad deeds from them and enter them into the paradise. All of that is
discussed and then the Hellfire people are discussed thereafter
that Allah subhanaw taala gives general encouragement, or order to
obey Allah and His messenger and saying that look, if you don't,
then the prophets, Allah, his job is not to grab you and make you
muslim. It's to he just has to convey to you then Allah reminds
us that oh, people who believe that you know, some of your
spouses and your children are your enemy. So be careful. If they're
going to take you away from the deen you do things for them that
by which you get distracted from your prayers and your, your other,
your other responsibilities, then they're a fitna for you. So be
careful of them, even though you they own your own family members.
And you know, to be honest, for most people that I've heard with
difficulties, the difficulty in them practicing comes from their
families. So this is a very relevant verse for whoever's in
that situation. And it's so wonderful to have a family that's
religious and to have friends which are religious, because
you've got the whole environment like that. That's why don't expect
to be religious. If you're going to be with unreligious people,
unless you're you dominate and you can, you can turn them around,
right? That's why Allah subhanho wa Taala says your wealth and your
children are fitna for you, but Allah says we're entirely
worthless for whom Adelphi will find the love and for him, if you
pardon you overlook and you forgive Allah subhanaw taala is
also forgiving. Allah then says Fatah Kula musta Tato. Right. This
is what we're told to do. Fear Allah as much as is possible.
Sometimes it's difficult. We understand that people come and
say, Oh, this is difficult, and they genuinely they're having a
difficulty. Well do your best and ask Allah for forgiveness. Just
don't justify your wrongs. Don't say I live in England. I live in
America. I live in Norway. I live in the west or wherever. Right?
And that's why I can do this wrong. I don't have to do this
ruling. I don't have to go for Joomla or I can do this. I can do
that. No, don't ever justify. That's one of the worst things you
can do. Say insha Allah Allah to do it to me, I can't do it
tomorrow today. May Allah forgive me. May Allah give me the strength
to do tomorrow. Thereafter again.
You
criticizing Bukal and miserliness and encouraging
loan to Allah. Right and again, Allah says he will multiply, we
will also forgive you as well, because Allah subhanaw taala is
very grateful. And he's very forbearing is the Knower of the
unseen and the scene and he is the mighty and the wise one and by
that we finished the surah Hamdulillah. Now, let us move to
sort of the prologue Surah Talaaq is two things I take from Surah
Tala, what are the laws of talaaq. Additional finishing completing
laws of that were not mentioned in surah, Nisa, and spiritual Bacara
because many of the laws I mentioned, they're some of the
remaining laws are mentioned here. That's why it's called Surah, two
talaaq. All right. But the other thing is that Tala can divorce I
have seen, you know, and I can like just think of at least 10
women that I know I will mean divorced, and just don't know how
to manage it is very for a lot of women. And I think it's because of
our society just don't know how to manage and take a divorce. Some it
leads to huge depression and problems like that, especially
with the stigma attached of divorces, not being able to marry
again, divorce women, divorce, men get married, mashallah very easy,
but divorced women don't. And that everybody's to blame in this lots
of people that you bring in this, including the women themselves,
and of course, the men, and so on. Right. So this is not the time to
talk about it. I have dealt with this in some other lectures, there
are suggestions, we need to bring back the Medina and model right of
this to make this easier for ourselves. And that there's going
to be some bitter aspects in there as well. But that's the only way
we're gonna be able to safeguard our situation. But there's lots of
laws mentioning primarily about expenses for women, in divorce
situations, and so on. And how long is the waiting period. All of
that is discussed, if they're pregnant, if they're not pregnant,
if they're older women, how many menstruation and all of that is
discussing that. I don't need to go into that in detail. You can
read it for yourself, you can look at the commentary. I've got a
detailed section on this in my marriage, but most of it is
anecdotal. When it comes to the divorce section, I've got a lot of
the fifth mentioned in the the laws mentioning that because it's
important for people to know that so they can be aware of him not
make mistakes. So Allah subhanaw taala recommends that when you do
divorce, do not divorce, you know, women in the wrong times. Right.
Once you do divorce, then after that, let the that period finish,
and so on. There's lots of discussions, all of that is
mentioned in here. But what's most striking for me, right, what is
the most striking for me in this surah is that when there's so much
discussing discussion is there was a whole sphere is talking about it
was not just a few places, right? Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned
duck What about four times, and he's got some of the most
beautiful, oft quoted verses of Taqwa that you must have heard so
many times. And I think if a woman and a man have taqwa, then even a
divorce situation will end up in a good thing. Although divorce is a
bad thing, but sometimes it's inevitable. Inshallah, as Allah
says that we're here to follow raka human Allah who could live in
Saturday, when they do separate if they have to separate Allah will
enrich each one of them from his abundance, so keep your trust in
Allah. The first one is, these are the boundaries of Allah, whoever
goes beyond the boundary of Allah, then they've oppressed themselves.
Anyway, for either Allah subhanaw taala, then says, The first case
is in verse two, where Allah says, Woman yet tequila, Whoever fears
Allah, Allah will find an exit for him, Allah, Phil will find a way
out. So oh women who are depressed, or men who are
depressed, right? Especially in divorce case situations, nothing
seems to work out, let it go. Allah will make a way out have
your trust in Allah. Then a mentioned Allah will then provide
them from where they would never have imagined. And a lot of times,
psychologically, when somebody goes to the situate they think,
end of the world, I can't see life after this. I can't see happiness.
I've had women call me. Will I ever see happiness after 17 years
of a messed up marriage? Yes, because Allah promises it, he can
give you sustain you from where you would never even imagine. Then
Allah says, Whoever puts his trust in Allah, Allah is sufficient for
them. Allah is going to complete his affairs and matters. And Allah
has made a designated period or allotment or proportion for
everything. Thereafter, at the end, there's some more, there's
some more laws about the waiting period. Then at the end of verse
four, again, why am I here, tequila, Whoever fears Allah,
Allah will create ease in their matter. Because once you have
Allah on your side, half of your depression is gone. And then the
rest of it will go once you get your rest of your mind. Right. And
you you can you strengthen your resolve in Allah subhanaw taala
thereafter that Allah subhanaw taala says in verse five, this is
the command of Allah that He has revealed to you. Again, Whoever
fears Allah, Allah will remove the bad deeds, and he will magnify the
rewards for them. Then there's discussions that you know, you're
not allowed to throw out a woman who's in a waiting room. It's
still the husband's responsibility to pay for her. As long as he
she's staying in the same house.
And he's not telling you to go he's not allowed. He needs to keep
her in the same house, right? And he needs to pay until her ID that
finishes he needs to be basically paying all the expenses until then
as well, how much you should spend that's mentioned in verse seven,
everybody spends according to their status, right? There's no
minimum amount or something. It's whatever they need, according to
the status of people is a very wealthy family, they're going to
need more expenses. It's a very, you know, easygoing, small
expenses family, then that's fine. Thereafter, Allah subhanaw taala
goes back to history and talks about his areas which disobeyed
the Lord and what happened to them. All of that is discussion.
All of that is discussed. However, Allah subhanaw taala, at the end
of it speaks about the righteous people and what they're going to
get in paradise and all of that is mentioned, Allah subhanaw taala
then talks about the seven heavens, how Allah subhanho wa
Taala created and all the matters they come down. And Allah says,
Allah is well, encompassing of everything in terms of knowledge,
everything is encompassed by Allah subhanaw taala he knows about
everything that goes on. He's he just knows what's going on. And
the final Surah Hamdulillah we haven't done too bad hamdulillah
we've just gone over an hour hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah I never
believe we could do this with your dogs with your dogs with the bark
of Allah bark of Ramadan Baraka, the bearer of this message in sha
Allah as well. Right. This is the mighty Masjid is called the Azizi
Masjid. Right. The Azizi the might, right. Many people have
been wondering which Masjid are we in? So now I'll reveal to you on
the you know, on the 28th Jews which Masjid we're in, May Allah
take it from strength to strength and protect it and let a lot of
good guidance come from it and fill it up in sha Allah. Right?
And open it up just the way they've opened up for us in sha
Allah. So this sort of Hareem now, we still need to keep up the pace
or to dream the Hareem means to prohibit something to make
something unlawful, the Hareem of something which is haram. Right?
So what's going on in here this is this is also Madani, sort of very
Madani Surah has six has only 12 verses read very long verses some
of them and it incorporates two or three different issues. One of the
primary reasons why it's called the Hareem is about some very you
can say very private matters very personal matters of the prophets
of Allah Psalms household and what happened is that there are
differences of opinion and it's an it could be both
there's a story of the the honey and there is a story of Maria
Katya right so one one incident is that a probably Salah is because
of some discussion he said, Okay, I'm not going to go to Maria
Katya, which was his slave concubine, right all the others
were wives, he had a few concubine, says, Okay, I'm not
gonna go yet actually one child with this concubine, as opposed to
majority wives he had no children from so because of something that
had happened. He said, Okay, I'm not gonna go close to her. Right?
He said that to one of his wives. Now, the incident is where this
whole long story of the the, this is a bit of a plot, right? That
the was hatched between some of the ways that are probably similar
some against some of the others, because he saw that he kept going
to one way who served him honey. So he kept going there, or he
would go there and spend maybe a bit longer. So they said, Look, we
this is what we're going to do. And when he comes back, you're
going to say that your mouth is smelling right of this particular
this particular plant, right? Old for us for I think, or something
like that. It's called. And maybe you know, the idea was that I'll
be saying that this honey is the pollen is from that plant and
that's why it has that person used to hate bad smells. So no leaf,
they would hate it. So he said I'm not going to eat that honey
anymore from her house or something like that. So then Allah
subhanaw taala comes down on that discussion and he says, Yeah, you
have been limit to hardly mama Hello. Hola. Hola. What a
beautiful statement. Oh, Prophet. Why are you making unlawful what
Allah has made halal for you, whether it's the concubine or
whether it's
it's the honey debita Hemara data as logic you're just seeking the
pleasure of your wives. Allah is Forgiving, you know, you don't
realize forgiving so then thereafter, Allah subhanaw taala
mentions that you can break an oath when you've taken an oath for
not the right thing you can break the office allowed. Then you see
the prophesy. Lawson had mentioned one of these things to have
Saturday Allahu anha and told her not to tell anybody, but she told
her Aisha Radi Allahu Anna. So that's mentioned in verse two. And
the person got very angry when, when when he found out that she
told Aisha Radi Allahu anha he wasn't supposed to, they're
supposed to keep a secret. So he got very upset to such a degree
that there was even discussion of divorcing some of his wives at
that, at that point. Allah subhanaw taala reveals all of this
and says exactly that when he told her not to tell anybody and she
told somebody and reveal and so on and so all of that is mentioned
and then Allah subhanaw taala talks to the wives of the Rosa
loves them and says that, you know, you you need to make them
When if you make Toba it'll all be good and everything. But if you're
going to not do that and if you're going to act in a different way,
it's possible that I saw Robbo and in Tala Kakuna, that if he does
divorce you, Allah will replace for him much better wives, much
better wives, Muslims, men, carnita EBIT RB that sci fi about
what up Cara, right. And you can look at a translation you can read
up the translation of this, this is then that ends, but it there's
something relative. Something related to that in verse six,
Allah says gives the responsibility to parents is a
huge response. And this is the verse of the Quran that relates to
parents, or people who believe protect yourself and your families
from the Fire, whose fuel is people and stones. And there are
some severe angels standing there in God who do not disobey Allah
and they do exactly what Allah wants, and no disbelievers don't
make any excuses. Today, you will be given exactly what you did.
So that's a very important this man gives us responsibility. Allah
allow us to fulfill this responsibility towards our
children. I wrote a book on marriage after being married for
over 22 years, and dealing with marital issues for 20 years over,
I fell a bit confident to write it. But I still can't write a book
about bringing up children yet, and waiting for my two eldest to
get married and then settled and then maybe I can say, now I can do
that. Because in short, life succeeded. It's difficult to
fulfill this. But May Allah make it easy. Allah makes it easy for
those who have Taqwa, those who strive for the deen, those who
love the deen. Allah will make it easy for them in the right way who
are not excessive and who don't have shortcoming. Allah give us
that balance. And then after that Allah subhanaw taala has another
very prominent verse. This is the Toba to Nasu verse. The sincere
repentance verse of verse eight are people who believe, repent to
Allah, a sincere repentance, it is very likely that your Lord will
forgive you your evil deeds always assumes that we have evil deeds
already always. Because that's the majority of people. Very few
people have no deal, no misdeeds at all. That's why but Allah will
forgive them. So he's taken that for granted that we have misdeeds
is taken for granted. So why should we be despondent and then
he will enter you into Jana into actually Jana into gardens, under
which rivers flow right and that will be the day
when Allah subhanaw taala will not humiliate the Prophet and those
who believe in Him. Allah will not humiliate the prophets and those
believe may Allah not humiliate us on that day. And again, the
concept of newer comes up again, their light may Allah give us of
this light will be
the light will be traveling in front of them and to their rights.
Right, and they will be saying, Our Lord, complete for us our
light and forgive us. And Allah subhanaw taala has power over
everything. And then after that, there is encouragement, oh, people
are all Prophets fight with the disbelievers and the munafo Clean
and be severe upon them now, right be severe, the end is jahannam.
And what a bad ending place that is. And the last few verses are
beautiful examples, which especially the sisters need to
listen to, but they examples for everybody. But Allah subhanaw
taala is giving an intense an example of intense cover. Right?
How bad somebody's cover can be, right that despite given the
entire beautiful environment, all positives, everything advantages
to them, they still display. Who could that be? And it gives an
example of a woman
right? And then he gives another example of the worst situation,
the worst environment you could be in where to believe there is like
in virtually impossible. And mashallah that person believes
even though given that environment
so that shows that it's actually from a person's inner strength
from Allah, that they're going to believe or disbelieve, regardless
of their surroundings to stop making excuses. There are so many
excuses that someone's made, you know, a while LSA
right, this is the these are our times these are our states this is
just what's going on or you know, these are just my my
circumstances, your circumstances can change when you have a will
and Allah will not changed we've read another verse, Allah euro in
Hola Hola, yo V Roma, becoming Hatha Yoga Yiruma B and for some
you have to take the first step. So the example Allah provides.
First example, that Allah subhanaw taala provides in verse 10, is
Allah provides an example of a cooper right of Cofer of people
who disbelieve how bad it can be the wives of new and the wife of
loot is the wife of new Hulu Talisa. Right their wives, they
were under two servants of Ours righteous. Imagine Gibreel and Sam
is coming to them. They have ye revelation miracles, but blind it
can you imagine you've got miracles in front of your hands
isn't the Prophet angels but no, you don't want to believe and they
could not do anything. Their husbands could not do anything for
them. They were told to enter the fire. Then after that, lo and
behold the example of given of strength of belief is the
Why are Pharaoh Pharaohs calling himself God? Do you have people in
your family that call themselves God? Right? Does your father call
himself God who stops you from wearing hijab or stops you from
practicing stops you from studying the deen? Right? You know, this
guy, this guy Pharaoh was calling himself God. He was huge
persecution. He actually did persecute whole stories of his
personal and his wife. asiyah. But no, she prays to Allah, and look
at her, don't make this dua to Allah if that's the case with us,
right? Ibni leave in the cabeza and make a house for me in
paradise, save me and deliver me from Pharaoh and all of his deeds
and give me safety from the oppressive people. Then Allah
subhanaw taala talks about Madame bindi Imran right who protected
her chastity so women protect your chastity men protect your chastity
and Allah subhanaw taala mentioned that she was from the Canadian
she's from those that were given to us and righteousness and
worship. So may Allah subhana wa Tada
allow us to benefit from this. And may Allah be praised for all that
He has given us in the ability that he has given us to cover
these things. And made he made the rest of this easy for us as well.
29 is going to be more difficult if not as difficult. And then 30
is going to be apparently but Allah is making easy maybe that
will become very easy. We'll have maybe three minutes to every sword
or something like that. And inshallah we'll cover it with the
other hours in sha Allah. May Allah bless you all may Allah
bless you all may Allah make this last remaining hours and days
extremely blessed for us and better than the previous days.
lucky with that one and Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen Allahumma
salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad
