So Alhamdulillah we begin the six the seventh Jews of the Quran
today, following the sixth one, the end of the six Jews was
regarding the Christians and then the Jews or the Jews and then the
Christians and the winner 15. And the last point there in verse 82,
was about the sympathy that generally many Christians have
and the hand of friendship that they could extend and it spoke
about the reasons for them. Now the beginning of the seven Jews
which is still sort of trauma, either the fifth Surah of the
Quran, it begins with another incident about another group of
Christians. And it starts off with either Samir OMA on Zillow ala
Rasulillah that when they listen to and when they hear that which
has been revealed to the messenger SallAllahu is in the Quran, when
they reveal when they listen to the Quran, Tara Yuna, whom the fee
Domina Demmer you actually going to you see that the eyes are now
watering. They're weeping. Tears are flowing from the eyes. Mima
out of the middle Huck, because of the truth, that they've now
recognized, the Quran is speaking the truth, truth which were in
their heart, and that will maybe not vocalize that they were just
waiting to be realized. Suddenly, when they hear the Quran, it just
suddenly makes absolute sense. It's according to the fitrah and
their nature, and that actually causes them to cry. And that's why
Yakko Luna Robina Mina Fortuna Marcia healing so they they
proclaim that our Lord they invoke him saying we believe and thus
writers from among the witnesses, why shouldn't we one island alone,
Amina villa. That's such a wonderful expression. Why
shouldn't we believe all Niger and Amina?
We're not married when you kill an Arab Unum. I'll call me Psalm 18.
Right and the truth and why shouldn't we hope that our Lord
will enter us among along with among the people who are
righteous? So then Allah subhanho wa taala, a Thurber whom Allah who
be Mercado, Allah subhanho wa Taala based on what they said or
for what they said Allah subhanho wa Taala reworded them, Janet
gardens now remember the word Jana, in many of our languages,
ethnic languages, we use the word Jana
Jana, Jana the way however people say it. It's an Arabic word. And
it comes from the same root as Jin
Junoon gentleman's insanity. Gin means the genie and Jana means the
garden. What's this? What is the similarity or the common factor
between them? Well, the common factor between them is that it
comes from the root of gin or Jana, Jana, and basically that
means for something to be overcome, to be veiled and
covered. So the jinn are veiled and that's why they call the gin
and Junoon it covers the mind so person can't think straight. So
that's why it's called insanity in June. And then the garden what's
garden got to do everything. Well, these are really lush gardens that
will be covered in greenery, like greenery that really appeals to
the heart. That's why the life of Paradise is going to be an outside
life. Yes, there are buildings
There are hollowed out pearls for the US wedge and all the rest of
it. But why would you need to be inside when it's outside? I mean,
living in the West in cold countries, like the UK generally
called, you know, you're stuck indoors. So you think that that's
the life. That's why you make everything the way it is. But
people who really understand nature, they don't like buildings,
right. And that's why in paradise, you need a villa, you need the
concealer and so on. But here you've got lush gardens. And
that's what Jana is, and that's the dominant idea of Jana. So
that's why it's the garden so Allah has then rewarded them.
gardens beneath which rivers flow and they will abide in there
forever. And that is the reward of doers of good. May Allah make us
of the doers of good. And then immediately afterwards, there's
always whenever you look in the Quran, if you haven't noticed
already, whenever there's what we call the rib, there's always going
to be a bit of that heat with it. Whenever the dominant theme is
star heap, then there's always going to be a total heap with it.
The riveter heap, this is a common theme throughout the Quran
everywhere every page you'll you read, there's going to be some
turkey butter heap, they're constantly that he is
encouragement by the discussion of paradise good deeds, rewards, love
of Allah etc. And Tara Hebe is basically warning you
discouragement. Right? So first is persuasion. This one is dissuasion
or discouragement by talking about Hellfire by talking about
punishment by talking about people of the past and how they went
wrong and what what happened to them and the evil ending, and so
on and so forth. So firstly, this discussion is about those
Christians, which I'm going to be telling you about, and how Allah
subhanaw taala rewards them. And then after that, there's one line
before he moves on to the discussion of the rulings. Allah
says, and those people who disbelieve and who deny and reject
our ayat, our signs are versus they are going to be the people of
hellfire just that much. That's it, just to always show that
balance. And a lot of the time when the whole discussion is about
dissuasion, it's about discouragement, there's always
going to be a way out always Illa Lavina Armano, except those who
believe and do good deeds, always giving away out because the Quran
is not here to just condemn. The Quran is here to wake people up.
So what is this story about? So essentially what happened here? Is
that these ayat about these Christians who became Muslim,
about those of Habesha Abyssinia, nowadays, Ethiopia, that area, and
as you know that many Muslims that migrated there already, the king
was a Christian king, and a very positive, very, very accommodating
for people of belief. And that's why you know, the whole story
about when the people of Makkah sent somebody, a delegation to
bring them back, the Muslims would migrated there, he refused to give
him back. So now when the Quran was recited there, literally they
started weeping, their beards became,
they became uncontrollable, almost in there because it was like
something that they'd always been looking for. And now it dawned
upon them, it was there for them for the taking their beards, they
became wetter, according to the transmissions we have, the effect
of the Quran is such that is the effect of the Quran.
And
Allahu Akbar, when a person reads the Quran with an open mind
objectively, with no biases, no subjectivity, no animosity, even
in fact, there's been people who've looked at the Quran with
animosity, and they've been bowled over write, not necessarily
everybody, but there have been a lot of people even like that. But
generally, anybody who looks open minded and just read it themselves
in the Quran, then there is no doubt that it will affect them,
they read it. Unfortunately, when we are going through the Quran, we
don't have that kind of personal time with it, because we're always
rushing to talk about the main themes. But that's the idea that
when you have time you do this for yourself. And today, we've got a
surah coming up after pseudotumor ADA, the next Surah Surah Al Anam,
it's just entirely about reflection. It's very difficult to
give it up. See, Rob and you'll see when I come across that it was
kind of quite surprising, when you look at it as a whole like that.
So when a person doesn't have hatred, and animosity, enmity,
superiority complex almost, then the Quran is you look at it with
humility to learn to seek with the talab and the desire, then it will
definitely open up and that's the that is that is basically the
adverb of the Quran to look at it for that otherwise the Quran will
just just help you to it to help you to go further in your in your
own right Allah raises certain people with the Quran and puts
others down by the Quran as an evidence because you're looking
for the wrong thing in there. Now, once that's been discussed
Allah subhanho wa Taala then it is a Madani Surah as we know, back to
Messiah L. And the rulings that are starting here is from PEI is
from verse 87. And onwards. So the first discussion is that
the as we said before, there was some discussion of this at the
beginning of the chapter, as well tomorrow either it's about food,
or the food spread, which we haven't discussed yet. But there
were lots of laws about what's halal and what's haram and purity
and so on and so forth. So now Allah subhanho wa Taala says,
Yeah, you will Adina Ermanno letter to Henry Mota yerba tema,
Allah, Allahu Allah Karim. There, there was a lot of discussion
about what is impure? Now here is the discussion is that don't go
overboard because the Metcons they had this idea of a lot of
excesses, a lot of arbitrary judgments about what's halal and
what's haram. And they would come up with many different ideas in
that regard, which we'll discuss a bit more later when the verses
come. So Allah subhanaw taala says that, look, Islam is the dean of
moderation, while there are definitely things which are
harmful to you. Right, and they are haram, like blood and so on,
you know, they need to be avoided and carrying and sold for health
reasons. I don't know why people argue about this and why they
insist on making things halal, that are not halal. Right. And so,
you know, it's okay, b be easy. I mean, it's for your health. Has
anybody thought about it that way? It's not just the legal issue.
People think just the legal issue for it to be slaughtered this way
or that way. Or the, the the food of the Christians or Jews or
whatever the case is, or even if it doesn't, it's okay. In Islam,
there's very few things whose assault and whose basis default
position is haram. Nearly everything in the world for a
Muslim is halal by default, unless you've got evidence for its
impermissibility and unlawfulness. Except two things, minimum, two
things. One is inter gender relationship, intimacy between
genders. That is by default haram. That's why you need Nika there. Or
Rick,
for for that to become halal, right. That's why you need a Nikka
and a marriage to take place otherwise by default is haram.
Right? If I find if I find a plant in a forest, the only thing that's
going to stop me from eating it if it's harmful, like it has a health
problem, otherwise it's halal.
But the things which are by default haram you have to look for
Halal is intergender relationship intimacy and number two, it's
carrying meat dead animals, if they're not slaughtered according
to the proper way they consider dead by default. That's haram
right? That that's by default haram, as mentioned in the Quran,
etc. You need a delille to make it halal. And the way to make it
halal and lawful is by SEC slaughtering it properly. So
that's technically understand, but it's for the health it's one of
the main reasons is health reasons. So then Allah says what
pulumi merasa kakula Right. So do not make haram those pure things
that Allah has made lawful to you and do not cross the boundaries
Allah subhanaw taala doesn't like people to cross boundaries that
don't go excessive now.
That's why they're actually say that if you make something which
is halal haram, that's the same as making something haram halal. But
a lot of people think that the second one is worse than the first
because most people do that. I guess that's why otherwise they
both the same because you're just changing the hook of the Prophet
salallahu Salam and Allah so anyway, then Allah subhanho wa
Taala says, we're pulumi merasa Kokkola halal and a yerba eat
whatever is on the earth, no, whatever Allah provides you,
whatever Allah has sustained you with and provide you with as long
as halal and T pure, then eat that. Now while mashallah in much
of our industry, we do get halal, as long as it's certified and so
on and known. The time aspect is another thing that we need to
worry about the purity of something, how it's brought up,
how it's read, the kind of food it has, the conditions is kept in.
That's a whole nother discussion. That's too specific for our
discussion today. Then Allah subhanaw taala moves on to another
issue,
as it is maharatna you know, as Allah will say later on that we
have not left anything out of this Quran. So the next thing is about
taking oaths. So Allah says in verse
89 law you are here to come Allah Who beloved with he a Manickam,
Allah subhanahu wa taala will not take you to task for your
redundant of salimos right for your redundant elves, but he will
take you to task for those that you ratify. Right now, what does
that mean? And then Allah subhanaw taala mentions the expiation for
breaking an oath. So oath can be in many ways, right? The one oath
is I swear about something of the past. Right? You there's a case
going on that Did you see a white car here? And I thought I did see
a white
Uh, so in all honesty, I took an oath at Wallahi I saw a white card
there this morning, there was a white car parked outside the
Masjid.
But I happened to be wrong, we check the camera and was wrong and
I got a mistake, I was fasting, I don't know I made a mistake
somehow. So Allah will not take you to task for that. That's
remember, that's an oath for the past. Right? There's no
explanation for the either. That's just wrong. Now, if I've made a
mistake, if I not made a mistake, and I've had made it told a lie,
to save somebody, you know, to, to misrepresent, then that is called
Yamina moose the immersion immersing of which means that will
immerse you in sin. That's like a deadly oath. Because that is what
a lot of people do do to cause problems in the world, they swear
about something clearly. So that's one. Number two, if you swear
about something of the future, I'm gonna do this for Allah who don't
worry, I'll come and then you don't, then that means you've
broken the oath, that one and expiation is necessary. It's not
really about sin or not in that one, right? Unless you just making
false promises, that's more like a promised of right on oath of a
promise. So in that when you'd have to pay an expiation, so if I
didn't fulfill it, as it were, like, I'm not gonna speak to them
again, I shouldn't say that anyway, but if I did, I, in some
cases, you actually forced to break the oath, and then pay the
kuffaar as the price of some said in a hadith, because the oath was
wrong to take. So anyway, any of that's broken regarding the future
something, then Allah talks about
the Kafala of it, the explanation of it being feeding 10, Myskina
10, poor people from, you know, a moderate amount of foods, or to,
to close 10 of them, or to free a slave.
Whoever, those are the first a lot of people, they jump to the second
stage, which they're not allowed to the second, if you don't find
any of these three, if you don't find any slaves to to free, which
you're probably not going to write or you can't close 10 miskeen
because you don't have the money, or you can't feed 10 of them. Only
then are you allowed to fast for three days. A lot of people just
think it's fasting three days first, but it's actually the it
goes in order. You can't fast three days unless you unless
you're in a unable to do the first any of the first three things. Why
follow a man come Allah says, Look, maintain your house if they
had to be maintained, make sure you're careful about them. And
mind you have then Allah subhanaw taala speaks about some other
halal and haram issues. Yeah, you have ladina Avenue in the Muhammad
Well, Mason, this is now discussing all the Haram aspects
by default haram aspects. So Allah says what's haram for you is in
toxic and swine? Right? That's haram for you.
Mesa gambling, and sob Islam. Now these are Islam. And this is why I
don't like to use the word Islam or Muslim. muslims or muslims.
People say Islam is a great religion, right? Even some Muslims
are saying that nowadays, right? Because it's a different meaning.
The word Islam comes from Salaam and Islam or Islam or however you
want to say it comes from this idea, which is to do divine the
practice of divining arrows, the people had a quiver, right of
arrows, and the arrows were of different types generally. And the
way they used to do this is that whenever there was a decision they
needed to take, they would put their hand in to their quiver, and
pluck out an arrow. And if it had a certain sign, or because, you
know, there was some with red or white or a cut or a slash, or
different feathers, whatever, that everybody had their own. So if it
comes to be of the teak wood or beech wood, then I shouldn't do
this. It's bad. So they did it for divining reasons. Right? And
that's what Islam is all of that is haram. Right?
They believed in it. They see one is, I mean, one is you toss a coin
to say which one just to that's okay. That's like picking lots
because you're not thinking there's any efficacy in that let's
just, let's get over it, you know, unless there's somebody start,
right. This is where they actually believed in the efficacy that
these arrows told you something or they did it with birds. That is
the if they let us let go of a bird and let it fly. If it flew to
the right. It was a good thing. It's a good omen. If it flew to
the left. It was a bad thing. So it wasn't about making a decision.
It was more about there was an efficacy understood in these
arrows or within these birds and so on that there's something in
there something's controlling them in that way. So Allah subhanho wa
Taala says, All of this is the rich sun, that it's dirt it's
impurity mean Amelie shaytaan from the actions of the shaytaan stay
away from it so that you can gain success says about several
different things regards Homer and Mesa, right and gambling and so
on. And then Allah says to that, in verse 91, in the marina
shaytaan UK Aveda when either with Alibaba Phil humbly will miss it.
Right? Allah wants the shaytaan Radha shaytaan wants
stat, he creates enmity and hatred between you, basically, with
regards to the wine and gambling, because that's what it does.
There's, you know, the in toxic and being basically drunk, and
then what a person can do in that they won't make a distinction
between their wife and their mother, and maybe beat somebody up
or say something stupid, and so on. So that's what shaytan wants
to do. It's a proper act of the shutdown, but people love it. I
can't believe in this country, they had a lockdown on many
industries, and many kinds of stores and supplies. And
initially, they banned off licenses, or would you call those
liquor stores, right? And then suddenly, they open them up again,
as an exception, they make that an exception that that should be
open, you know, people need something to maybe come down with
something Subhanallah as a Muslim, you know, when you go into a
store, and there's like, you're going to Costco, for example,
right? And they have like two or three major aisles of, you know,
of liquor. And you just think Alhamdulillah I don't even have to
check these out. Because Can you imagine how much money we save and
how much grief that we save? How much anxiety we save just by being
Muslims who do not drink? Right? Because anybody who drinks do you
think you have to drink then you have to buy the champagne or
bubbly or whatever it is, the wind to calm down your nerves or
whatever, get intoxicated, drinking driving problems. As the
observing Muslim you don't just that's just not a chapter in your
life. And when that switch is not on, if it's never been on, then
it's not even a problem. So the main thing for Muslims and
especially the younger folk that I'm speaking to right now, don't
ever let that let that window open that you have ever tasted it.
Because then you may want to keep going back to it. Because once
you've never tasted it, and you you don't care about and the
repugnance is in your heart and hatred, then it's not it doesn't
even bother you. And that's the best way to avoid to have immunity
rather than where the switch is just off. You don't even feel like
it. Because one is that you're tempted, but you can't you have to
keep resisting that's more difficult than Hey, I just don't
even feel like it hamdulillah May Allah just remove that desire from
our hearts of these haram things Allahu mokwena Be halili can haram
ik Allah suffices with the halal away from the Haram welcome Gonna
Be Fugly. gambassi work. So now. So then Allah subhanaw taala
carries on he says we should document victory law. Another evil
of these things is prevent you from the remembrance of Allah and
from prayer. How are you going to pray? A lot of people who do that
and they're like, I can't pray I'm not clean and so on for * and
tombstones. Are you going to stop? What are the Allahu Allah rasool
Allah Hebrew and be obedient to Allah and His messenger.
And be careful for interval Latham anyway carries on now. Allah
subhanaw taala then discusses a number of other things with
regards to halal and haram. Are you allowed to hunt? If you're in
a haram? Are you allowed to hunt? I mean, that's probably not a
question that there's probably a reason for anybody in living
today. Right? But in those days when you went there, you know, you
didn't have the money, you'd go and hunt something they were
probably places to hunt around there. So are you allowed to hunt
while you're in a haram? Are you allowed to hunt in the Haram
Lapdock to say that we're into haram, you're not allowed to kill
a prey, right? While you're in that sanctified state. And then if
somebody did, because in those days, that was a reality. I hope
it never becomes a reality again. I mean, with everything that's
happening Subhanallah it just feels like the world is going
backwards. In the sense of back to fitrah. Right, where you might
have to start hunting again, hopefully it doesn't get that
back. But you know, Alhamdulillah in the West, where, where the
governments are helping people generally have a lot of disposable
income. They're still doing okay, but in so many other countries,
those people who lived hand to mouth, they are struggling, they
have no way they they're not going to die from the virus, they're
going to die from probably hunger or something. Right. So Allah
subhanaw taala then talks about the Masjid Al haram, and the Kaaba
in verse 97. Jerrel Allah Who will get Bethel Bethel haram Nakia
Molina see
where shahada al haram, I will head you will color it vertically
to anyone Allah here I know maybe somewhere where do you wanna fill
out when Allah has the coalition Nadeem so Allah subhanho wa Taala
talks about the house of Allah and its sanctity, and, and so on.
That's why once Amara, the Allahu Anhu said regarding the sanctity,
right, the sanctified nature of the Haram, right of mcomber karma
and around the Kaaba. He said that even if hubbub my father
was his murderer was found here. And I saw him
I wouldn't be able to touch him.
I won't be able to kill him basically, until I take him out of
here. Like it's a no go area in terms of violation like that. Now
Allah subhanaw taala as I said to you, that the machine
used to make all sorts of things haram and give them different
names. So that's discussion is then verse 103, major Allah Allah
Who mean by here? Well as EBA, Walla, WA sila what a ham. I'm not
going to go into the explanations of all of that you can check them
up if you want to. But Allah has not designated any of that. That's
nothing from Allah. He's not formulated all of that. That's all
from there and they don't even get it. What federal law actually is,
well irrational, to be honest, I mean, the reasoning that they
provide is all irrational anyway.
For example, for some animals, that's going to come tomorrow.
They will say that
we'll we'll just leave it for tomorrow and spoiling it for
tomorrow. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala discusses, yeah, you
Alladhina amanu alikoum and full circle, be careful, you know,
look, after yourself lie I do recommend dollar datum.
And then you have Latina woman who shahada to become either hot or
cold mode. Totally different topic now. And that topic is that if you
feel that you are going to die.
I mean, I guess we could die anytime but especially so when,
especially if you're on a journey, for example.
Or you don't have to be on a journey. But the idea is now to so
how to do what's here, how to make a bequest how to basically do a
will almost.
So if you don't have pen and paper handy, and you can't document it
like that, you can't send an email off, or send a message or voice
message nowadays become easier. But what you're supposed to do
then is grab two people who are upright nature, that were idly
mean, come, aha, and even when you become, especially if you're
traveling, and you're about today, then then basically you make them
swear an oath, and it's the whole discussion about making them
because this is very important and somebody dies, there's going to be
so many issues that crop up. And that's why Allah subhanaw taala
saying that make sure you deal with this.
Then after that,
Allah subhanaw taala in verse 109. From there, he takes it back to
the hereafter.
Because at the end of the day, remember this book is not about
just one theme. It's about several different themes to target the
chords of our heart and make us realize, so ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada
says, Yo manager mera LA who Rousselot Pharaoh who Luma would
you be to call Lulu il Mallanna in the middle, who you the day when
the messengers, the messengers that Allah had sent, they will be
gathered, and Allah will say, Mother Egypt, how did what kind of
response did you receive? And they would say, we don't know. You're
the knower of all the unseen things.
So the thing that now sort of either the point comes now is a
silent alarm is then singled out and there's a huge discussion
about Eastside Islam again, and again, as
you get a lot of discussion where Eastside Islam and moosari Salah
because the Christians and Jews, that that's who they followed, or
they claim to follow, so the record is being set, right? Right.
So now this is where the whole concept of Madonna comes in. So
Allah subhanaw taala says that when isa Ali salaam, when Allah
Allah will tell so part of this discussion with the prophets, the
messenger is on the Day of Judgment, Allah subhanaw taala
will address ie Saudi salaam, and you say that you are you served?
No, Miriam. Oh, Isa, son of Mary, do you do really remember the
bounties that I provided you and on your mother? And then all the
bounties I mentioned a year to Kabiru Hill kudos, assisted you
and supported you with the rural caucus? gibril Ali Salam, right.
You then spoke to people in your cradle, right. And then of course,
when you were older, girl Girl means when you're middle age, I
mentioned to you the other day that there is no discussion of his
childhood and young age, he comes back on the scene about 30 or so.
And that's discussion you madam Ocala. And we taught you the book
and wisdom and the Torah, the injeel. And the other things we
told you that this is very interesting, all the miracles now
that used to form from clay, like the form of a bird, right used to
mold it, right? And
that with our permission, you would then blow into it with the
name of Allah, and it would become a real bird. It would fly away
literally. So that was one of the things you could kill the leper,
you could cure the blind by him. In fact, there's even some
narrations not in the Quran. way so critical, no debate, actually,
you can even revive sorry, it is there. You can revive even the
deceased, the dead. That happened at least on one occasion when they
challenged him. Can you do this? You do all of this. Can you do
that? So they went to a certain person's grave and he was revived
and he had yellow white hair and so on.
And where we protected you from the Bani Israel.
So
And then he carries on and then discusses his however in his
disciples, the people that were around him. And this kind of shows
the attitude of the Sahaba
their pure attitudes. They just had no questions. Everything was
an was alumna, we submit. Right. And uh, ROTC Well, I mean, as you
know, Allah Rossi, as the Syrians would say, right, on my head, on
my eyes, you know, whatever.
So the hovering in they said to that they asked
me Salesianum can your Lord khalifa to rub book can your Lord?
Does he have the ability to cause a spread of food to descend upon
us from the heavens? Sorry, sorry, Sam says called a toquilla. In
condominium. That is verse 112. If you're following, right, it says
and tells them fear Allah is your believers fear Allah. What kind of
a question is that? So they said, no, no, do not Colombina we want
to eat from it. We're not in Gulu, we're taught in Kelowna. And our
hearts will be more content and satisfied when Allah and God saw
doctrine, and we know that you've told us the truth. Can you imagine
the Sahaba ever saying that? Subhan Allah never right? When
Hakuna Mina Shahidi and then we can be of the witnesses to that as
well. Sorry, sorry, Salam said, look, it's always something called
on to Allah, O Allah. Have one of these descend for us? Right?
Obviously, in his own words, that could then be read for us a word
in our arcade, you know why Atomix would be assigned from you. What
is Okinawa antihero, Raz again, in his own way. He called Unto Allah
for it. So Allah says, Okay, I will have one come down, and I'll
send one down for you. Right, I'll send the order out.
But if anybody then denies afterwards, and disbelief
afterwards, then for any or at VEBO, who other than LA or a zebra
who had the middle aisle? I mean, I say I'll do it for you, because
you've asked, but if anybody denies afterwards, I'll punish
them with such a punishment. Right? That I've never punished
anybody like that from the from the worlds. Then after that the
discussion is about Eastside Islam and his mother, where Allah
subhanho wa Taala is talking about another discourse that, did you
tell people that you should take me?
Yeah, it's under telling us a turkey that you should take me and
my mother to be Gods aside from Allah. So inside Islam says
Subhanak How can I say something like that? Right? If I in fact,
these are Islamic, uses a very rational argue, he says, if I said
that, you would have known about it. You're the knower of
everything, right. You know what's in my heart. I don't know what
you're thinking. But you know, what's in my heart, you know, a
very thing. I only told them what you told me to tell them, Markel
dilemma. Martha Nabi, you know, from verse 116 117. And until I
was with them, I was a witness. But when you when you took me when
you took me from this world, then you were in charge you, you were
looking after them, and you know everything so Allah knows best.
But then this is the beauty of Prophets. Right? He then says,
something that's just gone down, you know, somehow in history and
oft quoted, especially with regards to us into as a boom for
in the homeopathic look, if you want to punish them, you have the
absolute right because they are Your servants. You have the
absolute right to punish them. But we're in the film for indica until
Aziz will Hakeem. If you do forgive them, then you have the
might, and the command, the judgment, the wisdom to do that
meaning, even though you can, you will basically the idea here is
that if you do forgive them, you won't be doing it because of
helplessness because you can't punish them anyway. No, you have
absolutely all capacity to do that. But if you did that, that
would be that's the contrast. He's showing and that's his way of
making dua to Allah you can use this door, Oh Allah, if you want,
you can punish me, you have the absolute right to do so. But if
you forgive them, you know.
So then Allah subhanaw taala says, God, Allah, they only enforce
Sadiq, whether Yahweh and federal Sadiq in a sitcom on that day of
judgment, anybody who's been truthful, their truth will be of
benefit to them. And again from for them will be those Jannat
those gardens and Allah will be pleased with them. Now, by that,
that's a bit about the Day of Judgment again to finish off the
surah.
Now we move on to Surah Al Anam. Now Surah Al Anam has to do with
animals. Right. So anyway, the idea here now is this is a very
interesting surah and I'm going to do my best to give you the main
themes and the main idea and the main way that it works. But this
is a Surah that you will have to read for yourself like for sure
you have to read the whole Quran anyway but this one to really
appreciate it. Because there's a constant movement in there. We
won't we won't have the time to go through
Do it in that kind of detail to appreciate, I'm going to try to
bring up it's a different it's, it's about primarily one theme,
one or two themes, primarily all about reflection. And not the
biggest idea in there is
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is basically being accused,
slandered,
criticized, and so on and so forth. huge challenge for him to
get the message across. So they're asking him all sorts of things,
why don't you send us this miracle? Why don't you produce
this miracle or that, bring it bring it on? Now, Allah is then
going to tell them that look, if we want, we can bring your
whatever miracles you want, but they're still not going to believe
they're still not going to believe they're just wasting your time.
They just excuses they don't want to believe. So it's a constant
discussion of two types of answers. But before we get that,
let's just quickly discuss the preliminaries of the chapter. This
surah comes after sort of Mati that, as you know, in this seven
jewels of the Quran, and
there are
I think, 165 verses in here, right? I think there's 165 verses
in here.
Just make sure.
And that is right 165 verses, and there's about 20 thematic
sections, you can split it into Ruko, as we call them, and it's a
murky surah. So as soon as I say murky, sorta now, you know, it's
not going to have too many laws, we'll have a few maybe, but the
majority of it will be about instilling, reviving, emphasizing,
and establishing the Tawheed of Allah, and responding to a lot of
faith based questions, theological questions. That's what mucky
sewers are generally,
mainly talking about Tawheed rissalah, the messenger
establishing the messenger ship of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and
the ark era, and resurrection. Those are the major themes in
mucky sorrows.
So, as I said, the biggest theme in here, you're going to see over
and over again, in an interlocking kind of way, overlapping
overlocking kind of way, is, it's about removing the bad theology,
the bad doctrines, the corrupt beliefs of, of the machine, and
responding to them. Now the response is given in two ways, one
is to basically give them what you would call
challenging answers that, don't you see it this way? Right? What
about if this happens? Who does this for you? Who does that for
you? Most of them start with Cool, cool, cool. That's why you see so
many calls. I didn't count how many, but call means, wherever you
see call, it means say, and generally throughout the Quran,
whenever cool is that it said to the Prophet salallahu Salam, O
Messenger, oh, my, my, my prophet, say, and so on. Right? So nearly
it has one of those, then it has a fact. So concerning this effect,
and then there's say this as a response effect, and say this is a
response or ask this question, asked this question. So we will,
just to give you a few before we actually go through it quickly.
Yeah, so the other facts that are produced there, and the challenges
that are produced through that they're axiomatic. They're
basically
firmly established ideas that anybody who ponders over it purely
from a human perspective without any bias, they can't deny it.
Right? You'll understand what I'm saying, speaking about the earth,
and the heavens, for example, death, creation,
helplessness of the human being, right, human weakness, human need,
sustenance, provision, and all of these things.
These are things that you don't need any evidence for. axiomatic
understanding means those things which everybody just gets, if you
think about it, you'll just get it. You don't have to do any
syllogism. You don't have to use any logical premises. It's just
obvious these are obvious matters.
So
one of the common themes that you're going to see is that Allahu
Allah is dominant. And many examples are shown to show the
weakness and helpless of the human being.
Allah subhanaw taala speaks about vulnerability while asleep in
verse 60, for example,
that you could just die in your sleep
then
the kind of more rare
Responsive questions are, they're going to ask you about
who owns everything in the heavens and earth? Or you can ask them who
owns everything in the heavens and earth?
So you see, the idea was that a lot of Mushrikeen?
You see, there are three types of cover. One is a type of golfer
where you're ignorant, they just have no idea. So that's why you
say I don't believe it, because I don't know. Anyway, the other one
is, you know, deep down,
but you don't believe because you got more you your you've got more
affinity to something else. My parents religion or my culture is
more important. This is people who will experience this in various
ways in their life. They know something is the truth, but
they're not willing to say it, because they've got some other
loaded aspects in their mind that they'll have that they just can't
bother, or they don't have the time to deal with or they can't
because there's fear. So that's why you've got Khufu gehele COFRA,
a nerd and COFRA Giroud. So the third one is where you absolutely
know for sure, but you obstinately read, your obstinately reject. So
you either reject because of ignorance, you reject because of
because you just deny it, you don't want to think about it. And
the third one is, you know, but you reject because you're being
obstinate. So it's different shades. So a lot of these people
there are different shades among the people of Makkah as well. But
among them some of them were that Islam was in their heart. They
knew it was true just like I'm not even gonna ask you the alarm said
when he heard Jaffa the Allahu Anhu is gara reading in Abyssinia,
he said Islam, the seed of it came into my heart. But he he was a
delegate from the people of Makkah, he was actually against
the Muslims. He didn't believe them. It took him a few years for
that seed to germinate and eventually became a Muslim. So
Allah subhanaw taala, then is saying a lot of these things that
they know inherently they know is to be true, a lot of inherent
facts, which basically helps and mashallah the just the slope of
the Quran is wonderful, very powerful surah. So if you want, if
you've got a friend who's thinking, let them read this, read
it to them, learn it yourself so that you can speak to them with
those same kinds of ideas. Wonderful sort of Adamawa by the
way.
So let us quickly look until he gets to a main story of Ibrahim
Ali Salam. So Ibrahim Al Islam is now featured very strongly,
especially his faith, how he discovered faith as such his
journey, and then his whole thing with his father, right? That if
you have to give up your father for true faith, then we've got an
example of the integral humanism that he mentioned a number of
other prophets. So let's just quickly just skim through as I
said, it's something you're going to have to read yourself. Allah
starts off Alhamdulillah Allah the heart of a summer Word, He will.
He is the Creator of all praises to Allah Who created the heavens
and earth. were jealous Lulu Murthy were no absolute facts he's
the one who created darkness and light. Similar the unica for the
robber him yeah, they don't. Then these people who disbelieve
they're basically equalizing with Allah. They're making others with
Allah, who Allah the Halacha coming between his own creativity
from soil, from from from dirt, from Aqaba. Nigella I don't think
anybody in those days would have known the, the origin, they didn't
have those laboratories to figure those things out. The biology
hadn't been at that level, I think. So obviously, later to
merkaba agenda. And we can't read all of this. But basically, Allah
is then saying in verse four, that every time any verse that comes to
them,
they just reject it.
And
then Allah subhanaw taala uses different arguments that have you
an Amuro. Come do that. Have they not seen how we've destroyed the
people before them, who we settled on the earth, and we've given them
and basically, we shower showered upon them lots of rain, and water,
and we've given them lakes, and streams and so on. But then
eventually, when they did wrong, we destroyed them. Just because
you have things doesn't mean that you have ultimate success,
ultimate success is about the hereafter. Then Allah meant a
number of other things that even if we were to send them upon them
a written piece of written documents, right, which they could
even touch, because remember, the Quran didn't come down in writing,
it came down in words memorized, even if we sent them from the
divine realm, a divine piece of writing I don't know how that
would look like be quite amazing. Write a divine peace of mind that
they could even touch and admire and believe that they would still
say in her mother in law several movie because when you go upstairs
see or you got other affinities then it's the truth doesn't make a
difference to you. Then another one they say is that why doesn't
Allah send an Angel? Why why a human being Why not an angel?
So Allah subhanaw taala says, Well, no one's a llama Allah can
verse eight
If we did send an Angel then
the matter would have been dealt with. Right? That would have been
a serious issue. And okay even if we did send an Angel we would have
made him a man would have made him look like a man right? Because
otherwise there's going to be too much oh he's an angel there's
other pieces of conduit Allah says He sent to nature well you don't
he doesn't eat it doesn't need to eat or drink or sleep.
So well occurred he still was able to swim in public so look at the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam he saying to him that even before you
other messengers were marked,
right but all of that is just gonna lead them to the destruction
called Sea roof allowed to travel the earth go and look at the
remnants of the Earth and the Moon go to muda insert muda in sila
right go to Petra go to you know down south to Yemen right and you
will see the remnants of these places
whether whom our second affiliate you want to harass me really I
mean this it just take reflection I mean, what do I miss out? You
know, what do I not do? So I'm gonna have to rush this a bit.
Allah asks, What eams escuela who be Dora, if Allah if he if he
afflicts you with some kind of harm, then there's nobody to
really relieve you except him. And if he gives you any good than he
has ability over everything, what we'll call hero, folk, or anybody
has made over everyone.
Okay, some.
Of course, all of that. Also, there's discussions about the
hereafter, and a lot of warnings that are provided. But
then something very interesting in verse 28, or 2726 2728, Bell
bodalla, whom mercon Will your phone I'm in Kabul, what Oh, rude,
do la de Lima and who and who we normally carry bone, that even in
the Hereafter, for example, if things became very clear for them,
and then they were sent back on Earth, they would still basically
go back to doing what they do, because that's become their
nature. That's, as I said, yesterday, or the day before, I
can't remember now, that if you can't do something,
then don't justify don't make that become your nature. Always despise
it, and want to be out of it. Because once something becomes
your nature, a bad deed becomes your nature, then it's very
difficult to come out. And that's why lighting can become so worse
that even if you went and saw the reality and the punishment
everything you still come back and do the same thing. Because it
become your nature Allah protector that's why one of my daughters is
that oh Allah protects from such sins which had become part of our
lives and we don't even see them as sins anymore. Because believe
me that's even many of us practicing people we have these
issues so Allah help us
that's why well Oh Tara is working for Allah Robbie him verse 30.
When you see that they will be stood
by the Lord will call that Elisa they will call you Bella Verbena
then they're gonna say yes, this is definitely the truth. Now, now
taste the punishment because you disbelieve before
right to move on.
Another thing they say welcome to Lola Newsela ally is to mirror
why doesn't assign come from Why isn't a sign is revealed from
Allah. Quran Allah Kaduna Allah unit Zilla. Allah can reveal
whatever I add, he wants, but people just they don't know.
Please go and read this for yourself and reflect over it. It's
very powerful, and we just can't do it justice in the short amount
of time that we have. Then Allah says another relevant part that I
just want to bring up 44 Verse 44, for the minor Summa Zuki Ruby, the
look for some people, this is a major delusion. Right. And we are
understanding this today. I hope so. Right? And a lot of people are
understanding this, but when it's over, they might forget again, I
don't know. You know, I don't know what Allah has in store for us. I
just hope that we realize when they forgot what they had been
reminded by, right and they just like, we don't want anything to do
with it. We don't care about it. For Tana Ali him above a coalition
we flung open the doors of everything. Like what would you
want like everything right? had either fully who will be my OTU
until they became very excited about what they'd been given a
hardener Home button. We seize them suddenly, without any notice.
For either ha Mobley. So now what right?
For co T or W Camila Dino vulnerable Well, hamdu Lillahi
Rabbil Alameen
then Allah again, remember I said call call call. So you see another
one here called are a tomb. In other words, some outcome say
messenger say to them, celluloid is some say to them, that if Allah
takes away your listening, and your site, places see it on your
heart, do you have any other load
that can bring about that can replace them for you. Right? Call
okay for no sorry for that from home. Yes, the phone. Look how we
turn the verses meaning how we repeat the verses of the Quran
over and over again. So sometimes if it doesn't affect you will
affect you later. Again. Cool. All right and another Kumada Bula he
bhakta. What do you think, say to them that, you know, if Allah was
to suddenly bring a punishment on you openly, right? And so on. So,
a cool look me in the house and tell him that I don't have the
treasures of the heavens and earth anyway, I'm getting too engrossed
in that and we don't have the time. So now let's rush forward.
A lot of verses to I mean, one thing we are told which I think is
important in verse 68 is what is our eighth Alladhina Yahoo doing
Fei Artina when you see those people who are just
bantering about our signs not taking them seriously for attitude
and home like just ignore them turn away from them, what they are
who do the Hadith and Lady until they start another discussion, a
better discussion, right? And if shaytaan is to if shaitan is to
kind of make you forget, then once you remember for Allah taco once
you remember, like, okay, maybe you just got into the bent and you
didn't ignore it, you didn't turn away. If shaytaan does make you
forget, he's blaming the shaytaan here, then fella taco back the the
Chroma alcovy volume and once you've got the realisation, then
you should not be sitting with the oppressive people afterwards.
Right now, let us move on to verse 74, which is the story of Ibrahim
alayhis salam. So after all of that reflection argument,
evidences, Allah says wave color, Ibrahim Ali Irby, he has
a cinnamon earlier, you probably already saw was confronting his
father, as are saying, Are you taking these idols
as gods in Iraq or Coloma? Caffitaly mobian I see you and
your people in clear error, even one's own father, there is a
difference opinion whether that was his uncle or his real father.
Either way, it doesn't make a difference, even if it's your own
father. And then Allah talks about this whole reflecting on the
heavens and the earth. What cathodic annuity Ibrahima
Mallacoota. Somehow it will art
we show the Ibrahim Ali salaam, the kingdom of the heavens and the
earth. So generally the milk is defined as that which you can see.
And the mela codes is that part of Allah's creation that you cannot
see like the angels and the unseen realities that small can Melaku
generally, sometimes they both use for the same meaning as well.
So then that whole story, which you probably know about that he is
determining a way to find God like the evidence for that, right?
There's no There's no evidence that he didn't know God already.
It seems like this could be a theological exercise Allah knows
best. Right? So he had definitely discernment you can tell from when
he escaped from his father when he left them and departed. And Allah
showered him great believes because through sacrifice, when
you give sacrifice for your deen, it might be difficult Can you
believe leaving your family leaving your area leaving your
hometown traveling somewhere else? And he becomes one of the greatest
prophets after Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam the greatest of the
prophecies Ibraheem Alehissalaam greater than the man knew how to
summon all of them. Right? And that doesn't come easy. That comes
with sacrifice. So don't stop doing something because there's
sacrifice and difficulty.
Right? If you're having Islamophobic attacks, and you
think everybody's against you, that's difficulty. But that's
life, or real life is the hereafter. What are these
difficulties? Shall we just push you forward? Remember Ibrahim and
Islam story? So anyway, the story is that he saw the stars, he
thought that could be good. Right? Or said that could be good. And
then when they dismissed, how can that be gone? They disappeared.
Then he saw the moon, it's a bit brighter and bigger. That could be
good. You know, says, and again, this is a lesson for everybody
else who's listening, and then eventually get puts his hands up
and he says, he doesn't literally put his hands up, but that's not
my expression. He says, if Allah doesn't guide guide me if my Lord
does not guide me now he's not even calling him Allah. Maybe
because it's a step by step process. You don't know him yet.
Right? You know him to be your Lord, because you figured out that
there has to be one Creator of the earth. And he's the one who looks
after everything on the earth. That means he is Rob. That's what
Rob means. He's the one looks at because when you look around the
world and you see how it's been taken care of thing, you must have
a moral be rub. That's why rationally it's easier to conceive
of a than a creator, a
caretaker administrator than ALLAH because ALLAH, although that is
Allah, but Allah is a very comprehensive idea and you can't
just figure that out straight away. Eventually all leads to
Allah as in who Allah is, but the the aspect of the characteristic
is the right
Bob are the colic or the Kadir, the one who has ability over
everything, but the one who knows everything. That's something you
can figure out rationally.
So, then he says, If he doesn't, if my Lord does not guide me, then
I'm going to be from among the misled ones. So then he sees the
sun out in it's all glory. And I do a paraphrase translation, you
know, just to make it easy. So this must be my Lord. This is the
this is the biggest of all, but when that also disappeared, it
disappears every day. So you can tell that this is just the
theological, excellent, it seems. Then he says,
in the word Giotto, now that's the pure monotheism, this expression
in new Ajah toward gelila, the fedora summer 31. Honey format,
and Michigan is one of the highest expressions of that
is called dua, Otto Ji. Some people read this actually in the
beginning of prayer, or before prayer, which is to say that I
direct my face right towards the One Who created the heavens and
earth, cutting away from all lords except him Hanifa warmer under
minimal shaking, his waha Jehu coma was at they disputed with him
and his whole responses there. And then then it says Matilda who
Jonah that is all the evidences that we gave to that's the
understanding and the evidence we gave to Ibrahim Ali salaam, verse
83. And we basically put up the level of whoever we wish. And then
there's lots of prophets mentioned now. We gave to him his heart and
Yaqoob each one of them we guided them to new heights and we also
guided from his and then from him came down Sulaiman a you use of
Musa Haroon Zachary Yahia ASA Ilyas is my Yes, sir Jonas Luther.
This is probably, I'm not sure. But I think Is this the place
where it has the most names of prophets altogether?
There are 18 prophets mentioned here. Not sure if that's the most
names in one place in the Quran. But then Allah discusses about all
of them, how we guided them, how we assisted them, how we gave them
their proofs, and so on. And Willa Ecoline has Allah these are all
the people that we've that Allah has guided Febi Houda homak.
Today, through their guidance you follow and say that I'm not going
to ask you for any measure, I'm not going to ask you for any
payments. Right? This is just a reminder for the people. Then
Allah subhanaw taala continues with those same goes back to the
same kind of arguments, and same facts and figures and things that
that I mentioned, you know, from all verses, you can see 95 in the
law photic will help you and now we're talking about some very
subtle things like Allah is the One who lets the seed germinate,
you got a whole seed has no holes in it, and then suddenly opens up.
And this whole tree is comes out. I mean, as imagine if you just
think about the who built that functionality in a single seed
that you planted somewhere and it's only germinates takes the
nourishment from the ground and has its own design and blueprint
inside it and becomes the oak tree or the teak or the ebony or the
pine or a fruit tree. It's even more and that's actually one of my
favorite verses. Here is verse 99. Well, we'll let the unzila Mina
sama ima and he says he who cause water to descend basically rain
from the heavens for original behavior about a coalition. And by
that we caused
the crops and the produce of many things to grow from them. And lots
of greenery have been with Rocky Bauman and luckily, mentally clean
one Danya from the palm trees, the the palm trees Jannetty manana and
the huge grape vines that you have the zaytoun the olive, the Romain,
right, which is the pomegranate, and SubhanAllah. There is one
person I think I know who actually became Muslim just by thinking
over the fruits. And every time I have read, just look at the
watermelon, how every aspect of it the size, the texture, the
content, the flavor is totally different to a mango to a durian
amazing fruit Juliana's it, those of you in Malaysia and those kinds
of countries will know what to do the yarn is some people run a mile
from it, but it amazes me. The way it's made with the spikes. You cut
the spikes very thick, open up it's actually got these nice four
sections that hold the meat inside. And the meat is like ice
cream if you like it, right, it just melts. Amazing. That's
totally different to a lychee to a mangosteen to orangutan right. A
jeep
is it Rangitata
I think that's what it's called. It's like a mangosteen amazing
fruits are just amazing. The banana is totally different apple
and just an orange, common fruit but look at the the skin. The tube
pallid tone skin red outside, sorry, yellow, orange outside
white inside the flesh, then there's another kind of cover over
the actual segments, then you take off this, then you separate the
segments. Each one is separate segments, when you are to peel off
the skin of the segment. They're actually small, small segments
inside. I mean, you just throw in your mouth, you don't even look at
this stuff. But when I open up an orange and you sometimes open up
the peel of one segment, and you see the small, small segments, and
then you enjoy that there's a total different trade today or
tomorrow, right, get an orange, open up the peel and enjoy the
segment and you'll see a totally different,
different thing to just putting in your mouth. Like that. Everything
is amazing. There's just so much comprehensiveness, so all of that
is discussed. I said, you need to look at this for yourself and
ponder over it led to the recall, absorb what will you recall,
absorb, right? Allah is not some someone that you can encompass. He
encompasses everything, but you will not encompass him. Well, who
will Latif will hubby's the all subtle, and he's the all
knowledgeable. And then Allah talks about all the other evidence
in the final point is about the disbelievers when you call liberal
affiliate and will absorb the hookah Madam, you will be here.
Well, Amara, well another room Fito he earned him Yeah, Mahone
we're going to have to leave them in the tyranny, right? running
around in their tyranny, we're just going to have to leave them
like that. So hamdulillah let us just do a quick, round up and
summary of the seven Jews of the Quran. Basically, Allahu Akbar
starts off with a number of FICKY starts with the discussion of
those Christians who became Muslim from Abyssinia then discusses
alarm bells, for clear
expiation for oaths, prohibition of wine, gambling, hunting, in
Haram, etc. All of that then carries on and then there's a
discussion about making a request, especially at death, and how
witnessing how you take witnesses than a salad slams discussion is
there, Allah's discussion with him, his discussion with the
Howard Dean, the concept of the MA Ada, for which the Surah Surah is
named, and so on. And you get an understanding of the Sahaba and
how submissive they were, then
there is the
discussion about isa Ali salaam, and how he is not responsible, you
know, for the golfer that was done after him.
Then after that you have,
which we'll probably look at tomorrow, the beginning and ending
of the sort of very similar, we'll look at that later. And a lot of
advice to those who do not see the signs of Allah, like, why don't
you see them so, so many, so many signs I mentioned, like they're so
obvious, and you still don't see them. So then there's, of course,
the discussion between Ibrahim and Islam, his people and his father,
which is a very important milestone that you need to read a
very important point you need to read because it has a lot of
theological benefits. And the main thing is that when you read this
inshallah your understanding of Allah will grow. Right? That's
what the whole point of the surah is to just establish your
understanding. If you're a Muslim for so long, being a Muslim and
you think you can't benefit, read this surah and ponder over
everything that it says about Allah and His messenger and
inshallah you will see that your deen will become further. So we
ask Allah to strengthen our deen for us. May Allah subhanaw taala
assist us may Allah bless us, may Allah illuminate our days and our
life and our Hereafter with the Quran? And may Allah allow us to
fool to remove our shortcomings, I did
promise that some
resources for those who want to study further, right. And so let
me just quickly do that. I mean,
you're going to need some tough seals. So of course, there's some
good Tafseer resources online as well. But the in terms of those
which are printed or available online, I would suggest that you
look at the four indices, and I'm talking to an English audience,
right English or Urdu or some other audience. I mean, you know,
that's kind of what I'm talking because if you're an island and
you have access to Arabic, then I would tell you to go to Quranic
thoughts.org or.com, Quranic thought, this is huge website, and
it incorporates on their co.com. At the co.com is like the go to
place for Deaf seers. They're still building the English side of
it, but from the Arabic side, it has got like pretty much huge
number of deaf seeds, and you can pick a verse and then pick which
type of seed you want to see it from. I use that for a lot of
research when I want to. So that's definitely a go to place. But for
English, then what we have available in English is basically
a few good tips. Number one for a shorter one. You can either get
the translation of the Gela Lane, the Gela lane, right, you can get
a translation of that by SUTI and Maha
Li and is a decent translation of that.
It's published in one volume. Another short, slightly longer
with more comments and commentary is you can get the tafsir Earth
money that's translated as well. Move the turkey with money is
translation has some nice comments. His translation is
decent, but the comments are really useful. That's being
republished by terasse. Right now hopefully when that comes up, we
have very good because they really spruced it up and made it look
nice. Then of course, if you want to go for something larger in
about eight volumes, and there's the Marathi full Quran, I think
it's one of the kind of more prolific RFCs translated into
English one of the first along with maybe the CW cathedra. So
those two are the more prolific ones. There's translations of the
CW Kathy, and there's translation of morality full Quran by Mufti
Shafi with money, which is basically mostly turkey with
money, his father, Rahim Allah with the Shafi then there's also
parts of Imam Razi stuffs here for the really adventurous, that gets
a lot more concrete more advanced. So that's more for the advanced,
and then there may be translations of the Quran to be stuffs here and
some other deficits. But I think there's a lot in there and of
course, there's a lot of good coverage in different languages, I
don't know Turkish Tafseer so, I can't suggest any right now, maybe
if somebody wants to let us know later and we will cover cover that
in and other languages like an automatic valcona is actually
originally in order. So those who have access to all do you can even
take it from the original to be honest or tafseer of mine is in
order to as well and in order is also biannual Quran which is
amazing of Hakimullah Milan should be Tanvi right? That's not in
English. That's an amazing series quite for both for the for the
advanced as well as the intermediate. Anyway, I think
that's enough for today. May Allah subhanaw taala allow us to benefit
from this JazakAllah here. Welcome to that Werner annual hamdu
