hamdulillah help dinar Alameen wa Salatu was Salam o Allah say you
didn't know serene for either the or Sofie or Baraka was seldom at
the Sleeman. The fee are on Eli Yomi, Dean Amar Bharat
hamdulillah in this deaf co sessions of ours we reached
part nine so that mashallah begins with
the leftover part of the story of shot a buddy salaam we did, which
had started
in the previous Jews, verse 85, it started there. So here there's a
continuation of that story. starting with verse 88. Again,
remember, it's a little out of we've already had the discussion
of the Hour of the place between paradise and hellfire. But now
these are various different stories, historical Stories of the
Prophets to take lessons from. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says
that the people of sure everybody has Salam, they said that we're
going to evict you, we're going to extradite you, we're gonna get you
out of here. And those who have believed in you, from our mean,
Korea, Tina, from our area, you can't stay here, oh, let our Odin
a female Latina, you either get out. Or you
return to our way of thinking you return to our religion, right? Our
doctrine, our beliefs, our way of life or system.
So the response that Islam gives is that oh, even if we don't want
to write, in a way you have freedom of rights gone.
He didn't say that. But because I don't think there was a concept of
freedom of rights in that sense as a slogan. But all of this we can
take lessons from, we can actually appreciate we can sympathize with
the situation. It's just the recurrence, generic ideas, you
either be like us, or you get out of here. You've had presidents of
the World Presidents or big countries in the world of saying
go back to where you come from, if you don't want to be like us, or
whatever the case is, as though there's only one way of being in a
particular area.
Well, we have to understand is that Western countries are
cosmopolitan. They're based on the people. And that's why whoever is
there, they contribute.
They contribute. They're not kind of single systems of one ideology
or one. There's, that's the whole idea of the Western Civ. That's
why they have to incorporate everybody and then everybody gets
a say, and that's why Muslims make their mark wherever they go. I
mean, whether that be in their food or, or the need for worship,
and so on and so forth.
So then Srivalli Salam is saying that we would be violating we
would be basically slandering Allah subhanho wa taala, making up
a lie against Allah. If we were to return to your deen after Allah
extra that after Allah extracted us from it, Allah gave us delivery
from it. If Allah wills Hill, he can make us do whatever he wishes
because our Lord knows everything. He is encompassing of everything
in knowledge. And upon Him do we rely? You see a lot of the time
when we're dealing with attacks against us accusations,
complaints, criticisms, we try to deal with them directly without
thinking about Allah. What this teaches us is that you need to
deal with them you need to respond but it has to be Allah Allah hate
our kuleana
upon Allah do we rely
you have to rely on Allah you have to have Allah in your mind when
you're responding when you're thinking about it, and then look
at the DUA they make Robin after day in and this is really a
wonderful dua for people to continue to make when we're
feeling vulnerable and when we're under impending attack or when we
are under attack. Rob benef been in our Boehner Colmenar will help
look at the situation in India right now look at what the
Rohingya face so I will load Robin have been in Albania coalminer
will help resolve the matter between us open up the matter,
decide the matter by the truth want the Hyrule fatty him and
you're the best of the openness the deciders.
Anyway, then the discussion continues about them continuing on
to
telling encouraging people writing the people to go against Musa
against Shai buddy, he's Salam. And Allah subhanho wa Taala
discusses how we will bring on if you if you look at verses 9495 and
so on, how one Marcela ficaria team in Nabhi, and Allah Allah,
Allah Bill butser, Eva Daraa, discussing all the other prophets,
their stories, going back to the entire discussion to round off the
discussion of the five or six different prophets that have been
discussed in the recent verses. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says that
we we have been trying to explain this to people give them clarity,
we try to give them clarity in different ways. We explain to
people, we try to persuade them, then after that, if that doesn't
work, then we also give them a bit of difficulty, a bit of constraint
meant a bit of pain. So maybe by that when you become a bit
vulnerable, in pain, you feel less secure. So you're looking out for
some comfort, human nature. And when you're feeling very confident
when you've got everything you need, when you're healthy, then
it's like I'm on top of the world, I don't need anybody. But when you
become a bit vulnerable, you're sick. You have health issues, you
have fear, you have maybe absence of money, where you need then
after that you start looking for ways of this is the human normal
human idea. So Allah subhanaw says, we do that as well. The
maybe they'll return to us. We've we use soft tactics, soft
explanations, we sometimes get strict, we
use more harsher ways to do things. But unfortunately some of
them just do not understand and when they do not understand
then we have to send a punishment to them. So that's why Allah
subhanaw taala says
well, Quran men who attack hola fatahna Allah him Baraka T min.
Osama, you will not.
If these people would just believe and fear God, we would just
release upon it would open up. We'd release the blessings from
the heavens and the earth.
This is our response to Coronavirus right now.
But they deny so then we have to seize them for what they used to
earn.
And then Allah subhanaw taala mentions the number of reflective
verses Amin Al Quran at home but sunnah baya toma Hoonah imune
are these people? Do they have a sense of safety that our
punishment from our punishment coming upon them at nighttime
while they're sleeping? And then the other one is I mean, I haven't
caught on yet to Botswana, Doha home yet i Boon verse 98
Or do they have absolute security that assured that there's going to
be no punishment coming to them in the morning? While they just you
know, enjoying the play?
I mean, omocha Allah or do they have safety from the planning of
Allah that we've got
the Iron Dome, for example, we are safe, you know, nothing can
penetrate. Further Yamanaka, Allah He little Coleman hacia rune. So
Allah mentions that the only people who can feel secure like
that other people who are going to be losers, because there is no
safety from Allah, except with him.
So Allah then says at the end of it to round it off in verse 101,
telecoil, Cora, Nico so Allah you come in here, these are the
different areas the different inhabit inhabitants that we tell
you the news? Well, la caja Tomasulo humblebee unit, very
clear signs. The messengers came to them with clear signs from I
can really, you know, but now this is what's important here. Like
lots of people disbelief, but why did they not believe even after
having a prophet in them, it's showing them miracles and so on
and so forth. Why not? This is very important, and this teaches
us a huge lesson for America no Luminova
occurred the boom in Kabul. They did not believe because they had
denied earlier
because early KLTV are Allahu Allah colluvial Catherine. And
this is how Allah subhanho wa Taala seals the hearts of the
disbelievers. This isn't to say that these believers will never
believe, will never believe and can never change. The idea is that
there are certain acts, that which when people do Allah seals the
heart, even if that's a believer, they don't get fired far. And
these are very detrimental. They're very detrimental acts we
have to be careful especially of mockery and things like that.
That's very important unless Allah Subhana Allah of course, Allah
subhanaw taala can make an exception for anybody.
Now, since Musa alayhis salam
is considered to be
out of the six prophets that were mentioned here and their stories
since Musa alayhis salam is the most famous of them. Allah
subhanaw taala and there's other reasons as well as to why Allah
subhanaw taala then from verse 103, begins to discuss the story
of Musa Islam in much greater detail than the others all the
others were brief shortly but Islam was a bit longer. And then
after that there was a round up and then Musa Ali salaam story is
mentioned in great detail and certain incidents that took place
in his life some very interesting incidents that took place with the
Pharaoh. One of the reasons
why Musa Islam story is mentioned more prominently more frequently
and more in detail, is because there's a lot of resemblance
there's a lot of things that we can learn as our Ummah, because
the Quran is intended for the last generations, until the day of
judgment, the Ummah of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and
everybody to come until the day of judgment. So there's a lot of
resemblance. There's a lot of lessons we can draw from that
because number one, there was a lot of people, if not the majority
of the people who saw this now had huge ignorance. Despite the fact
that had so many prophets coming to them, one after the other, they
just had this attitude against it. So Allah subhanaw taala is giving
us lessons through them that we should not have that attitude,
because ignorance is among everybody, they, you know, people
can act ignorantly like that.
And
number two, the other thing about the Mussolini's Rammstein, is that
he had always the foe that he had, right, was
a claimant to lordship of godhood. Pharaoh, he used to claim himself
to be God and Rob bucola. Allah, He said,
and today we have people while they may not say we are God.
But they pretty much say that, in other words, because we've got
everything at our disposal, we'll beat this virus.
There's no concept of how we're going to beat it. Because this is
the rallying words, right? This is writing words, but it's the time
of humility. So what's surprising in that even though, where these
words come from, they maybe have Christian background, but it
doesn't look like they read the Bible. They're getting inspiration
from the in that sense. Otherwise, I'm sure they'd be humility that
being taught in front of God, because this virus comes from God,
this virus is from the Lord from Allah subhanaw taala, from your
Creator. And there's a reason for it. Well, maybe it's not
politically
it's not politically astute to use those words. Right. But it's a
time of vulnerability. I mean, countries are allowing countries
or allowing events to be given that we're debt against Islam. In
Europe, for example, in America, they've done it as well. You can
tell definitely tell there's a thawing same country like Belgium
that two years ago 2017 I think when they banned the niqab, now,
we're going to make it mandatory.
Right, maybe just a different color or whatever, maybe not black
but a different color, maybe slightly different shape, they're
going to make it mandatory for certain segments of the people
like schoolchildren, and and some others, you know, in, in frontline
work or whatever it is.
What a way of Allah subhanaw taala.
Right, if you look at the two editorials in the papers from
2017, and then 2020, what a change, Allah says, Okay, if you
want to mess around like that, I will do it a different way.
Like, you take the you take the most vulnerable, the weakest, you
consider them the weakest, and then you persecute them, you know
very well that they want to do a call for themselves.
The only reason I mentioned Nico is just a very prominent point
that has a very strong resemblance or strong tone in the whole masks
issue. That's the only reason I'm mentioning it.
Anyway, so then they had that as well. So that's why Musashi some
story is very, very relevant. And the other thing is that Musa
Islams that is also another reason another reason why the as from
what we know, the more desert and miracles of Musa is that I'm
compared to the other prophets. Miracles are much more than
louder, they're much more prominent and much more
conspicuous. And because they just needed that the people needed that
they didn't need small miracles, they needed big miracles. So the
two miracles that we know about Musa Islam is the ASA, which is
his staff that used to that turned into a snake, a huge snake and his
hand that became illuminate when you would take it out, it would be
brighter than the Sun apparently like huge brightness, brightness.
Right? You know, today, maybe you can say that somebody's shining,
something, you know, whatever. But in those days, there was no
concept that was a clear miracle in those days, today, a miracle
would be different because times have moved on to different things.
There was no way anybody could ever think somebody could produce
that by their own on the in a human capacity. So now, they still
didn't believe a lot of them. They still did not believe Why could
you not believe a snake turning into a snake, especially in those
days? Right, sorry, a stick turning into a snake, right. And
this brightness, the illuminated hand, the beaming beam palm, they
would have had to use a lot of obstinacy. A lot of bias, a lot of
animosity to be able to go against that. You could just tell why else
would you do that?
So you see versus you know 100 And from beyond the 100 108 call and
monoamine call me fit I'm gonna in the Hadassah hero name so now when
Musa Islam showed that so actually before we get delicious understand
how this even happened how the moose artisan and Pharaoh come
together where they're coming from where what's happening here? So
essentially what happened is that as you know there were drought
there were huge droughts and difficulties in the land in the
holy lands right wet remember Jacoba Islam story use of Islam
story. That's how his brother's first got to use of Al Islam, if
you remember because they were giving out we'll see that in the
story of use of Islam anyway. So now these people started coming
because there was a lot of food because they had mashallah,
according to use of Ali salaams advice they'd given, he had given
a very good advice of how to maintain the supplies during the
years when the crops will come based on the dream that was seen
by the leader right by the king at the time. Right. So now everybody
started coming there. So now what happened is that the Bani Israel
they came in huge groups to Egypt and they began to settle there
because when you got drought everywhere, you're gonna go
somewhere else. So they stayed with use of valleys and the use of
aluminium there. And after that, they started to have children
there. They basically became inhabitants of of Egypt. And
eventually they became like a huge minority, the second largest group
after the cops, right after a few rounds people, they became the
largest group there. But unfortunately, the various
different fee rounds that they're different pharaohs, there were
several series of them. They didn't treat them very nicely.
They did in fact, some of them oppress them hugely. And when we
came to Ramses the second most likely was him or madam ta most
likely was Ramses is lying in the Egyptian Museum today, you can go
and see him for about 90 Egyptian pounds if you want, right, but or
you can check him out online that his mommy you could see after 4000
years. So
he especially says he he really enslaved them. He made them like
slaves like slave labor, the pyramids, all of that slave labor.
Now Musa Islam he's he the I don't want to go into the story of Musa
ism, because that's going to come later of how he was brought up in
the house of Pharaoh. circuses will mention that. But eventually
he sees the persecution of his own people and he sees the being
enslaved. So then Musa Islam tells Pharaoh, that budget took me by
Unity Murghab become I brought these signs because he came and
claimed the prophecy. Pharaoh said okay, if you do have, if you are
what you say then show us some signs. So then he showed the two
signs. And Musa lism said to Pharaoh in verse 105, for
ourselves Maria Bani Israel, send the Bani Israel with me. We're
gonna go back to the holy lands. We're gonna get out of here.
There's persecution here. So color and continue to be hiding behind
condemning aside the team. So now Pharaoh asks him to bring the
signs. So he shows him the signs for alcohol I saw who drops his so
his his his stuff, and then it becomes a snake and then he pulls
out his hand and it becomes brighter. totally amazes everybody
there. Now what happens is, according to several free def
series like the fear of poverty, Ibuka theory if not Buster, the
Allah one relates that when fear of solace, these two things,
especially they were out of the world for them. It was impossible
for them to do that. He had magicians but they could not do
something like this.
So he actually jumped out of his seat.
He jumped out of seed got really scared that because for him it was
about power. Right? He's got a lot of free slave labor. He's got a
lot of power and he
He's worried now that Musashi, some people are gonna start
following him. Right because he knew he didn't really have the
substance. He had a lot of worldly power, but not much substance. So
they made matura with with his people, God and millet woman call
me fit around.
So he has a discussion with his ministers. And they decide that
look, since this is magical, this seems magical. You know, for them,
it was not a miracle, it was a magic to turn a staff into a
snake. So we've got magicians, let's call all of them have a
fixed day, and then we'll have a competition and that will just put
down Musa Islam because he'll obviously lose with all of these
magicians are best magicians, so then nobody will follow him. It'll
basically discredit him. So they did that. But as you know, as the
story mentions, when they came and the magician actually were very
excited, as well as saying to Pharaoh, what are you going to
give us? You know, if if we win? And Pharaoh said, Well, you're
going to become the really close people then after that, and so on
and so forth. And then finally, when they met me, they said Musa
Either you throw first or we throw first he said you throw first when
they did that, they just created an image. They gave a vision that
for them, it was more like
a just something they did to the eyes to make it seem like the
small sticks and, and strings they threw down. Were like small
snakes. So they will rendering writhing around everywhere. And
Musa the salam. Whoa, hyena. Illa Musa now from Allah, Allah is
saying We inspired Musashi, salaam, the LK ISOC you drop your
your stuff for either he had coffee, my Africa and he began to
just basically consume everything that they had basically set up
down there for what Carl Huck. The truth became clear. Now these are
magicians. They know the extent of magic. They know what a human
being is able to do through magic. You know, they've got the
experience. When they saw this.
They said this is something else. This is a higher magic. This is
something this is not magic. This is a higher realm. That's why for
Julio Hernandez one codable Salahuddin, we're okay a Sahara to
search in amazing. All of those magicians to humiliate Musashi
salaam they've been brought out, but now they all fall in
frustration Callooh mon bureau Bill Alameen that we believe in
the Lord of the the world's rugby Musa Harun Pharaoh starts jumping
up and down, he is criticizing them he's warning them he is
threatening them. And I'll cut you hands from opposite side your
hands and feet and I'll do this and I'll do that but no nothing.
Nothing made a difference to them. They'd seen the reality you know,
when you see the truth, Allah allow us to see the truth and give
us your cane when you have your cane that nothing can shake you.
You know, yucky and when you have yucky nothing can shake you then
all of these excuses that people have, you know, I can't call
myself by my name I need to change my name. I can't dresses I can't
ask for a press space. Once you got your key in all of that. You
know all of those excuses go down the drain is just something in
your heart that you need to create that you need to ask ALLAH SubhanA
wa Tada for. That's all you need to develop. May Allah subhanho wa
Taala give us that. So now they are worried about Musa alayhis
salam and so on and because of the defeat, so Musa Ali salaam that
tells his people that look is that you know Billa he was very you
just seek assistance from Allah that's the most important thing
people forget this. They go they go to ministers they go they go
they they try to do all these other worldly things which is
fine, but it's trying to be Allah He was Biru and be patient. For in
an orderly law. The earth belongs to Allah urethral Harmonia, Shah,
Amin, a birdie and he will make inheritors in there whoever he
wishes. While anarchy were to deal with talking but the good ending,
the final consequential good ending is always going to be for
the righteous ones. Now the story carries on after all of this and
you see Pharaoh was they didn't listen even after the sentence and
they started now persecuting even more. So Allah subhanho wa Taala
started sending them some greater signs that afflicted them
directly. They weren't just reflective signs, but they were
actually very involved sign so Allah says in verse 133 For our
Selena la he moved to Hana Well, Jarrah, the welcome Mala what
Dhafer there was a team of amorphous solids. We then sent
upon them a huge storm. That's how it started. A stone just ravaged
them.
After that, they were locusts everywhere, eating up everything,
all the crops and everything. All the crops and everything now, so
now they've got a storm is destabilize them. Their crops are
now being eaten up by locust. They look like caterpillars, right?
There was a swarm of them in in the Haram in Makkah McCollum or
somewhere you know, last year and Kumble. Then after that we saw
this send this one after the other then they send him lie
case now realize what attacking the animals so the livestock the
hair and so on so now that's getting destroyed that's getting
harmed then after that would defer the believer can you believe after
I get frogs everywhere
basically they open their mouth and they're worried that a frog is
going to jump into the mouth they just everywhere whole pestilence
of that salt, right they just everywhere and then after that
just blood everywhere they've got water they they've got stored they
take some of that water out and there's blood in there just blood
everywhere, blood everywhere, blood everywhere.
Now this didn't happen, like all together happened one after the
other. So every time something like that would happen, what am I
what are the human reads 134 They would say yeah, Musa they'd run to
Musala Salam, call your Lord. Right? And if he removes this from
us, then we will become one of the believers and we'll let the Bani
Israel go with you. But for the Monica chef now I know Maritza
Illa agile now when Allah would remove the storm for example,
okay, stones ended for a while now they go back to their own they go
back to the arrogance and the enmity and everything so fun calm
now means that then the next thing then they would come back and ask
again for relief and so on. They just stubborn people. Fanta,
calmness so these were the cops we're talking about. So Fanta calm
in whom we basically took
revenge from them for our Aachener home phillium So here, there's
just a simple discussion that we drown them you know the story we
drown them. Allah then says last miraculous just people need to
think about the Bani Israel and the Israelites delivery from the
Pharaoh it's a huge story gives you a so much strength to think
about it. Why on earth and Kamala Lena Can you start our phone a
machete call or the one Mareeba allottee Barak mafia, those who
are made weak and rendered to be lowly and weak and downtrodden,
both in the east and
those who are downtrodden, we then basically gave them as inheritance
land that we had blessed and be my Subaru Allah says because they
were patients
and we basically destroyed Pharaoh. Now the people now it
turns to the Bani Israel and their problems they had their own
problems with Musa alayhis salam just attitude problems really
critic criticism they had absolutely no problem criticizing
Musa this there are many of them. Yes, the Allah will mentioned
there was always a group that stuck mashallah to adhere to the
correct path, no doubt. And were with Musa Islam all the way but
the others who just protesting nagging, causing problems. So they
come upon the people who were worshipping idols. So they said,
Oh Musa, why don't you make us
a God like that as well?
Can you can you match I mean, he's giving them revelation rather than
you think. Can you make up a God like that for us? Musa Sam had a
lot of a lot of patients. They've gone with Masada Salaam. They've
left Pharaoh Pharaohs dead now and they will Mousavi Salaam. So
they're on the way to the holy lands.
Right. And
Musa alayhis salam from verse 142 Woba Idina Musa, Allah Athena
Lena, what may be action, for me call to Robbie Arbaeen Leila.
There was a need now because this was not the first time that Musa
alayhis salam had now started
looking after the Bani Israel after they were out of the
pharaohs grips. So now you needed a law, you needed guidance. So
Allah subhanaw taala invited him to tour to the mountain. And then
he had to go there, stay there for 30 days and fast. And then Allah
said you need to do 10 more days for whatever wisdom Allah has. So
it was made 40 days, that's where we get this whole idea of 40 day
being a maturity, maturity period for any act that you do. Right?
Isolation or whatever the case is 40 days. So Musa is Ahmed put his
brother in charge.
That's when when Musa al Islam came there, he mashallah managed
to Allah subhanaw taala spoke to him Allah subhanho wa Taala gave
him the commandments. Allah subhanaw taala gave him the Torah.
Right Musa was given the torah and but while he's absent the Bani
Israel, I just you know, you couldn't leave them alone for a
while, because always they just did something weird or strange. So
now somebody who's one of the members there, he basically formed
a cough, a hollow cough with some holes in it. So the way it was
that when the wind blew, because of the hollowness of it, you will
make a sound
He would make a noise, which made it sound like it was living to
that your God. There's going to be a more detailed discussion of that
later on. Right? So they, this is Musa Haruna. Some tried to stop
them but there's only so much that he could do. He didn't have the
same power as his brother Musala Saddam.
So then Allah subhanaw taala
talks to Musa alayhis salam, and so on and so forth. And then after
that, he goes back to his people and he's very upset, right?
Because as mentioned in verse 148, what the other call Musa mean,
Bertie, he mean holy him. When they escaped from the Pharaoh,
they'd actually taken a lot of the gold, a lot of the jewelry from
the houses that they used to work in apparently, Allah knows best.
So with this goal that somebody came and formed this little car
for him a golden calf. Right, it had a noise. And subhanAllah when
Musa alayhis salam comes back in 150 150. Well, Mr. Raja Musa call
me hot burner, Asifa he's angry. And he's also
really, really sorrowful that what is what have these people done?
Got a lot of regret, like, what's wrong with these people is got a
lot of anguish. So he goes to his brother first and is pulls his
beard and he's like, Why didn't you take care of these people?
called home? So his brother responds to him? Oh, my mother's
son. Like, you know, we You are my mother's son, like, you know,
you're very close to me. In the call Mr. funI, the people they
don't consider me strong, they consider me too weak, and they
could have killed me. So don't make these people laugh at me.
Don't do this in front of them so that they will rejoice at you
telling me off because they're just going to make that another.
They're just going to make that another another excuse to have a
laugh. Right as such. So then Musashi salaam, he says, Call up
bill, Phil Lee, where he teaches us that okay, even if somebody's
made a mistake, and somebody couldn't do what they would do,
then call Robbie. Oh, my Lord, forgive me and my brother, and
enter us into your mercy. We need your mercy one Dr. hamre. He mean,
you're the Most Merciful of the merciful ones. And then Allah
mentioned that those who did take these, take this cough. In verse
152, those who took this cough as a as a load, then they're going to
be receiving a lot of anger from the Lord and they're also going to
they're going to find humiliation in this world. That's the way we
deal with these fabricators. Now. Musa alayhis salam is telling
people that they need to listen, and they need to obey the commands
from Allah subhanho wa taala. What they tell him? Is that where we
can't we can't believe that this is from God, we need to, we need
to hear Him. We need God to tell us directly.
We need God to tell us that we need to be able to listen to God
telling us we don't believe that it comes through this book. That's
why Musa alayhis salam it says in verse 155, water removes coma who
Severina Rajul and limi cartina. Musa risen and chooses Okay, fine.
I'll take a delegation of 70 years very patient with his people. He's
so bold right? In everything else, but when it comes to his people is
so compassionate with them. He did. He just tolerates all of this
disturbance says okay, fine, I'll take 70 of you. So when Musa lism
chose 70 for our meeting for the other two Mirage facula Rabelo,
shaida Lichterman, cobbler AI but when even after this, Allah
subhanaw taala spoke to them. Can you believe anybody else who Allah
spoken to directly know his people Allah gets you know, Allah speaks
to them. And then they say no, that's not good enough. We need to
see him.
We don't trust the speaking now. High level of skepticism. This is
what skepticism does to anybody.
You have skepticism Allah save us you will actually start wondering
whether you really are your parents child
right that's why the way he designed he dealt with it is the
question he rose is said that when you're in a dream you think it's a
reality and when you wake up you realize it's a dream but when you
are in your dream you think is a reality. So now if you want to be
skeptic then what about if you think that right now
you are also in a dream? How do you know you're not in a dream
right now?
And one day you'll wake up from this huge dream and it'll all be
just a dream.
Hopefully not. We know for certain is not Inshallah, we're not in a
dream.
But what but skeptic people they doubt everything. So they will
even doubt this and that becomes a disease. It's a mental illness
then it's not academic. Now Allah Allah subhanho wa Taala says in
verse 157, is allottee Alladhina SW Runa rasool and Nabil Omi,
Allah the Yoji Duna, whom Aktobe and in the home photography will
injeel
those who follow the messenger the
prophets, the unlettered one whom they find mentioned in the
mentioned in the in what they have
in the Torah and the Injeel. Again yet more humble man ruffian, ha ha
Manuel monka.
He commands the right prohibits the wrong, he makes halal for
them, all good things impure things and makes haram for them
the despicable things, and he removes the burdens that were upon
them before the people who follow Him, etc. They're going to be
successful.
So then, the Prophet, Allah subhanho wa Taala in the next
verse 158, or does the Prophet salallahu Alaihe salam to declare?
Yeah, are you a nurse in new Rasulullah he Illyricum Jamia, I
am a messenger to all of you Alladhina Homolka sama were
developed from Allah basically,
I am the messenger of Allah, that Allah for whom everything is in
the heavens and earth. There is no god except he. So for Aminullah he
was really hidden. Nabil amela up in a villa he were Kenny Mati. Now
Allah then praises those few from the ummah of Mousavi salaam that
were just, I mean, call me Musa Madonia doing a bill happy will be
here. They don't want 59.
Then Allah mentions all the other benefits that he gave them, when
they're going around in that valley to get to the Holy Lands
after 40 years. Allah subhanho wa Taala tells them they needed
water. So what Oh, Hina Illa Musa estas ko who combinatory be Osaka
hijo, strike your stuff onto a stone and from there 12 streams
float for each tribe. No arguments this through your tribe, your
tribe, your tribe.
And then
well, Allah, Allah human Hamam, they were it was hot scorching. So
Allah gave clouds sent clouds to protect them. It's a punishment,
but he's protecting them. Right. Then another thing is, they needed
food. So they got money. And Salwa, when they had a problem
with Manansala, they got bored of it. They said no, we want the
doll, the lentils,
right and the onions and so on and so forth. We're sick of this
divine food.
As it was just a constant issue.
Then Allah subhanaw taala told them sorry, then they were told to
go into this particular area to go and stay then said that go in
there. But say hit tautan We're Kulu hater, say hater, which means
forgiveness for sins. So go in there seeking forgiveness for
sins, and go in there in frustration humbly.
And what they did was, as mentioned in verse 162, for but
they'll let you know, for the moment, I'm cold and ready to live
up to the home. But now instead of doing that, they actually didn't
go humbly and they say hinter tone instead, they said basically wheat
instead, they change the word. And they went the other way around. So
after that, we punish them.
Then after that Allah subhanaw taala speaks is a huge discussion
about Musa Islam and its people to for us to take benefit from verse
163, then tells us what's Allahu Manuel Correa Tila de kind of how
do you tell
us, the people about that area that was close to the sea, close
to the water edge. And they were told that you're not allowed to do
any fishing or any business or anything like that on Sept, which
means Sabbath, which means Saturday. So Saturday is a day
where you worship and you do not do any kind of business like that
martial law even today. You see a lot of Jews who do that, right.
So what now what happens is, on six days of the week, you don't
get too many fish. But on Saturday, this is just another
fitna, right, this is just another trial for them. On Saturday, the
fish is coming in droves. And they're seeing that and then like
we can't fish on Saturday. So now you have different approaches to
this. Some, they decided to go and fish some decided to put out nets,
and they're not fishing themselves, but they put out nets
and then take it but they weren't even allowed to do them. Others
doing it openly. Now there's two other groups who are not doing it.
And one of those groups is telling the others do not do this. This is
wrong. You know, there's always the good people. They're telling
them don't do this, you're not allowed to this haram to do this.
Right. The other group is saying and this is what Allah tells us in
the next verse here we've got an ohmmeter minimum limiter is doing
a Coleman Allahu Maliko him oh my god boom other than Shalida huge
lesson in this for us.
When one group of them said to the other ones who are giving them
advice that Why do you give advice to such people who Allah is going
to destroy? Or he's going to punish them? Huge punishment. So
it's not like they knew that Allah is going to punish them, but
they're turning the other cheek. Why are you telling them off? Why
are you trying to correct them Allah is going to punish them
anyway. Called Luma Virata Nila become well alone, you're talkin
at least then there is
You know this excuse in front of the Lord that we did our part?
Right? And also maybe they will believe maybe they will fear God
maybe they will fear God for that man assume as lucky Ruby.
See, this is the importance of armor will model for no human can
command in the right which I've been saying, we need to do it at
some level, we can't all abandon it. Right we can't abandon it
entirely, we have to do at some level. So when they made forgotten
when they forgot what they had been advised, and reminded, then,
and Jane Alladhina, Yun, Hona and Sue, we delivered and gave safety
to the group that had prohibited
that had censored the others wasn't allowed enough volume will
be either been by Ec McDaniels and we we punish the others.
And then also the next one is the famous verse, or what people know
about 166 is that some of them are those where they refuse to
basically abide Allah subhanaw taala ordered Kuno Kira that and
has even become these lowly mean monkeys. Right? So some of them
are actually turned into monkeys as well. There's just so much
detail that we know about that. May Allah subhanaw taala allow us
to learn from this and not to repeat the problems of this.
Allah then does say in verse 167, that they were 169 Rather, there
were some good people that inherited afterwards and so on.
And
Allah then reminds of some other prominent incidents from their
life, what if nataka knowledgeable 171 says what he's not talking
about Jabba thoughtco, hookah and oldal We basically raised the
whole mountain on top of them. I mean, just raising a building,
raising a mountain on top of them as though now it's a cloud on top
of them was a no no hierarchy on by him to such a degree that they
became fearful that he's going to drop on them and crush them. But
still, they didn't that didn't make a difference that just shows
you that when you don't want to do something. When you have an
attitude towards something, it doesn't matter what you see how
convincing it is. It's not going to happen.
So we have to ask Allah for a better attitude of him inshallah
Allah subhanahu live Islam.
So Allah is telling us the believers who do mattina can be
cool or whatever we give you, you must hold on to it strongly. With
Kuru Murphy Hill, Allah commenting on remember, remind yourself of
what's in there. So that so that you can gain taqwa, because that's
the only way you're gonna get anywhere. Now, in the rest of this
surah to finish this sort of Allah subhanaw taala speaks about the
following things. I'm just going to mention them in detail. There's
a famous story from here, why Rob Booker? No, actually right now,
because he's talking about telling the Bani Israel to fulfill the
covenant. Allah mentions another covenant, which is universally
applied to all human beings that everybody has taken, but we don't
remember which is from verse 172. Right now, tell me if somebody
remembers this, right? What happens is, why is a hydra book I
mean, Benny Adam, I mean, who who to him who return? Why should the
Hamada unfussy him allow us to be or become called rubella Shahina
and Taku Yamanaka Yeah, and I think in Hakuna and how others are
feeling.
When Allah subhanaw taala created other one is Salam. From his
loins, he extracted his entire progeny in the form of small small
ants like, right, everybody that was to come until the last person,
build the billions, small forms, and Allah manifested himself in
front of them. And he then asked them, and I Your Lord alleged to
be robbed Beckham. And they all said, of course, your there was no
reason to doubt there was nothing that had corrupted their mind. Yet
they were they just come out of the pure realm. They just been.
They're not even born yet. They have not seen any corruption.
Right? They have not seen any other view. So of course you are.
Oh, who else you know?
So that's a covenant. Now we don't remember. Does anybody remember
it? By the way? I think some people in history have said they
remember this. Does anybody remember this experience? All
right. So
why don't we remember it here? We're reminded of it in the Quran
by the prophecy tell us. So then we're reminded and if we believe
in and we do write, then in the Hereafter, our book of deeds will
be that as to what we did, and also, this will become a vivid
memory in our mind. So you'll be like, Yeah, I do remember it. Now.
I mean, happens. You don't remember that you're such a long
time. And then after that, something triggers a memory. Like
yes, I remember when I was six years old, that's happened to me,
right? It happens in human beings. So in the Hereafter, you will
actually remember it now, you will remember that you gave this
promise, this covenant, but you will also remember you will also
see all that you did, if what you did is according to this promise,
is going to be happiness. That's what you call sad. And if what we
did is going to go against what's what we remember at that time,
then it's shock our May Allah protect us from that. So Allah
says workaholic and unforeseeable ayat. Now Allah subhanaw taala
tells the story of inverse 170 577 78 The story there is
about a guy called Bill IGNOU ba Uhura. So long story, I want to
tell you the whole story. But you can check that up on the verses in
any good Tafseer you'll see it there from verse 75 onwards
Balaam, ignoble Allah who Allah had given a huge amount of
knowledge to
pretty one of the most knowledgeable people of the time,
but problem with him is that he's very arrogant, didn't have the ego
problem, and did not have any good luck, and no humility. And that
basically eventually led to his downfall. So what's being told to
us in there is
Allahu Akbar that you need good o'clock, and really May, Allah Who
for who MOTD the one who Allah guide is the truly guided one. And
the one who Allah leaves to stray, I keep saying leaves to stray, I
don't say sends a stray reason is that Allah doesn't have to force
anybody to stray. He just has to take away his assistance, his
divine guidance and his Tofik divine enablement and the human
will just automatically go so think about that in our own lives.
We don't do they can we don't ask Allah than just by default we will
incline towards the wrong by default, Allah's protection and
guidance must be with us. So one that's what you call Tofik when
Allah makes his servants actions in accordance to what Allah is
pleased with, that's what you call Tofik gel Allah Allah Ibrahim off
you can be my your Hey, boo hoo Yaga the opposite of that is a
villain, abandonment forsaking. So when Allah forsaken, okay, I leave
you, I'm not going to give you any guidance, automatically when we
start shifting
with see that in people that were the supervision, somebody that you
look up to somebody that cares for you and tells you off, it's a good
thing when they say okay, just let them go. Then the person will
start getting braver, daring, risky and then do wrong
until it's too late. So Allah is saying, well, Oceana or a
foreigner who if we wanted, we could have raised him by this.
Well, I can no Ana de la II wanted to go to the into the earth or
more more worldly things. What dabba Hawa and you follow this
desire, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada then the next thing he talks about is
how bad disbelief can Where does disbelief come from and everything
is so evident, like in the previous sorbitol, an arm hole
surah was about so many evidences about the heat and removal of
shear so the main theme they will shake, right? Avoidance of it.
Allah subhanaw taala here says that the problem is that the loom
Kulu we've given hearts to people but they don't comprehend by them.
They don't understand the truth by them. Well, in fact, I think they
just think it's a blood pumping organ a cardiac organ they have
they don't believe in any spirituality in the organ in the
hearts whereas Muslims believe in a spirituality related to the
heart. Well who aren't you and Allah you've seen whenever you had
to have eyes, but they don't see by them meaning they don't see the
truth by them. They see everything else. What am I then Elias
marijuana be they have ears, but they don't hear the truth by them.
That's when Allah makes this very prominent statement that is oft
quoted will equal an herbal home herbal with eager human half you
don't. These people are just like, beasts,
cattle.
In fact, they're worse, because at least the beasts don't do any
wrong. They just do whatever Allah has set them up to do. They chew
the cud, they chew the grass, the hay, they produce the milk, they,
you know, they do what they have to do.
These people are totally heedless. Then Allah says well, Allah Hill
Asma UL Husna Allah has the beautiful names for the rule will
be here. That's verse 107 180. Call unto Allah There's something
we need to do we don't do enough call Unto Allah with the relevant
names. When you're playing medicine when you're taking a
tablet medicine say yeah, Shafi
a one who gives cure when you're seeking forgiveness say you have a
full when you want to opening say yeah, Fatah.
When you feel
surmounted, say yeah, Latif,
think of the names, learn the names, use the names.
And you will see that your understanding of Allah will grow
and your connection, the names of Allah an entry point to his mighty
for very important. Allah subhanho wa Taala and the following verses
from 181. He discusses how we can punish all of a sudden we can
punish them. Now I'm just going to quickly mention
Cindy's points. So the third point here is that Allah subhanaw taala
says that, you know, we give people time. We give people
respite, if they find if they were only law home, you know, we give
them some time and some respite. If they if they take it and they
come back, that's fine. Otherwise we then capture them in
punishment, we seize them in punishment. Allah subhanaw taala
then reminds him that look, think about Muhammad Sallallahu sallam,
I want to be there for Kuru man. We saw him in Jannah he's not
crazy. He's not insane. Right in who I learned, he is just a clear
water to you.
Allah says, Don't you look at the kingdom of the heavens and the
earth and what Allah has created everything. Again, these are the
additional proofs and so on. Then from verse 80 187, it's about the
Day of Judgment. Yes, alumina Anissa. Okay, you keep talking
about a day of judgment. When is this Day of Judgment?
question that comes out here. When is the Day of Judgment a Jana Musa
call into my elbow ha in the rugby only my Lord has the knowledge.
He'll let it come at its time. Right.
But remember, any your punishment can come to you before that, in
fact, your death can come to you before that. So then the Prophet
sallallahu sallam said, Look, I only have
control over myself, I don't know the unseen if I knew the unseen, I
would have done a lot more of whatever I knew about. Then Allah
subhanaw taala speaks about a few other things about since the
source a lot of began with a discussion of the Quran. It also
ends with this verse, verse 102 104, other which is a verse
that people have taken many aside from as well what either Cody Al
Quran or festa Marula who say to the Allah come to Harmon, when the
Quran is recited and listen carefully to it.
And remain silent so that you can have mercy. So even if you don't
understand it, just stay silent, out of other out of etiquette. You
know, this is a norm of the world is accustomed in the world that
when there's respect to them, you just be quiet. It's only
unfortunately, we have this certain attitudes, especially in
the Western knowing the East as well, that you need to be able to
say something all the time, right that you need to give you a view
all the time, you need to have a question all the time. So you
know, somebody gives a wonderful discourse and then your first
question is, but
we just basically washes away and sinks everything that person says,
and it's just for your ego.
So rather than tell you the time, Allah the more importantly is that
you use things that will prepare you for the day of judgment. And
then Allah subhana wa Tada says, worth korabik Athena Tsikata Rongo
Hiva. We're doing a charity, mineral coal, saying some away one
of the etiquettes of how to call upon Allah. Remember your Lord, in
your cells that are wrong, we're here humbly in treating him with
reverence. And it doesn't have to be loud, doing a Johari mineral
coal Bill who do we will ask all morning and evening and do not be
of the heedless ones. Do not be of the negligent just remember your
Lord always remember your Lord. May Allah allow us to be remembers
of his of him all the time that Guardian Allah. Right now we move
on to Surah to unfurl, right, which just takes the last quarter.
And unfurl means spoils of war. So the discussion of the spoils of
war is made briefly here. And then there's a more detailed discussion
later on in the next juice, which we'll be looking at tomorrow.
Insha Allah, so yes, Aluna candle and fall now there was a dispute
about the way the spoils of war had to be destroyed and so on. So
that's why they they ask you about the spoils of war say that the
spoils of war for Allah and His Messenger Bakula. So now you fear
Allah and then the details are later on. Now Allah subhanho wa
Taala talks about
this surah is a Madani surah so it's going to have lots of rulings
right, there are 75 verses in here 75 verses only, and it has about
10 different sections, you can thematic sections you can split it
up into one of the major themes in here is jihad visa vie de la
remember, this is a Surah it's about the spoils of war. And it's
the sort of before Bara, the next one, which is about war as well.
So these two sources, in fact, some say that they actually
connected together and they all about war.
This surah
was revealed after the Battle of better if you remember, which
obviously as was the first of the battles were very prominent
battle. And in that battle, huge amount of assistance from Allah
was noticed was seen was observed.
How a small group managed to overcome by Allah subhanaw taala
is help because you had angels and so on and so forth.
So that's why you have this discussion of redeemer in there
because there was a lot of spoils taken from the
Rosewell
Allah subhanaw taala here in MENA Lavina either tequila lovers two
mentions five characteristics of good believers, which are for us
as well. Number one fear of Allah. Number two, the law of the Quran,
right, which is to understand the Quran and to learn from it, and
reliance on a Rahman
reliance on Allah Subhana Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala protection
of the prayer, preservation of the prayer be mindful of the prayer
and being excellent in you're dealing with people.
After that, it starts the whole discussion of the Battle of butter
and you can inshallah read that and benefit from it. But Allah
subhanaw taala talks about, you know, Allah subhanaw taala talks
about numerous things in the the various different things that took
place, what is a very prominent striking feature of the surah
especially in this portion of it, and then there's one that will
come later, which we'll cover tomorrow, is that Allah subhanaw
taala addresses the believers over and over again like yeah, Bunny
Adam. Yeah, Benny Adam. In the previous surah in here, Allah
addresses them with yah, yah Latina, Armando. Oh people who
believe and Allah subhanaw taala does this six times. So there are
six instances here. The first one is in verse 15. Yeah, you
Alladhina Dallapiccola the and a couple of zavon Allah to a lumen
udvar basically, stay strong in the face of your enemy. Don't
become weak. Then Allah subhana wa Tada. The next one is yo yo
Latina, RT, Allahu wa Rasulullah these are commands for the
believers. Follow, obey Allah and His messenger and do not basically
turn away from Him.
And don't Don't be like those who said we heard and then after that
they hadn't heard like, be serious. Then you already know I'm
gonna study Buddha he when he Rasulullah the outcome, we respond
to your Lord when He calls respond to your Lord and the messenger
when they call upon you to that which gives you life. So
everything that is given to us is going to give us life. Then the
next one is verse 29. Sorry, I didn't mention the verse numbers
the first verse versus 15 Second one is 20 The next one is verse
29. Yeah, you will Adina into duckula Okay, what are you going
to get for this now? So yeah, oh people who believe if you fear
Allah and gain Taqwa your Allah come for Karna he'll provide for
you the criterion become very clear to you what's right and
wrong and you will be able to ensure that follow it when you
capture and come say your take home and your
evil deeds will be exploited for you and Allah will forgive you. So
there is a benefit for doing this. The next one then is verse, verse
27. Yah, yah, Latina, amen Hula, hula, Rasool, waterhole, Amana
tegmentum, Darla moon, do not betray the trust, do not betray
Allah
and His messenger and also your in between you do not betray trust,
be very trustworthy and maintain your trust. There's a few other
words I just want to point out to you Allah subhanaw taala says in
verse 17, to show that it's really Allah who will be creating the
effect and in your fighting, even if you're a few but if you do it
in the right way with all the with all the what Allah subhanaw taala
is acid Allah says falam doc to whom it's not you that kill them,
wala Qin Allah Hakata Allah
is Allah that killed him? Well Mr. Ramita is right it's not you that
shot the arrow when you shot it. Well I can Allah Rama it's Allah
who shoots it. What do you believe remote meaning I mean, hope Allah
and Hassanein Allah has sent me or not him.
So just trust in Allah that Allah is with you when this happens,
Allah reminds us why Allah more anima and why lucuma Allah, the
Quran fitna, in the path of goodness, sometimes your wealth or
your children will be your trial for you. So in your love for these
things, you may give up your deen you may give up fulfilling the
orders of Allah. But remember, Allah has the greatest reward. So
make sure you don't feel a fail like that. Then these verses are
something that we need to always keep in mind. This is from verse
36.
You know, when you see these wars in Muslim countries, people,
aggression against Muslim countries and people dying, the
conditioning the and so on. And I mean, as human beings, people do
get very upset, and you should get upset. And people actually even
start feeling despondent and hopeless. These are huge hope give
us hope providers, verse 36, and 37. So listen, Allah says in Allah
the NACA Faru, you fear Guna. I'm Wilder, who means should do sabe
de la versa you
goofy Hakuna Matata Coonawarra him has rotten to my Yola bone. Well
Lavina kifaru Illa Johanna your Scharoun
those who disbelieve they will spend their wealth so that they
can stop people from the Path of Allah.
There are certain wars that have taken place even recent ones were
the people they attacked had got nothing to do with 911 for
example, like Afghanistan,
but probably the only reason they attack there is either for
resources or bigger still is that they want to just stop any strong
force of Islam anywhere.
Okay, people make mistakes, right? I mean, even Muslims make
mistakes, but one of the reasons they will get together aside from
resources and that is to basically just stop any Muslim place from
becoming strong.
Unless they basically
become allies of some sort.
So
they will spend their wealth to stop people from the Path of
Allah.
Firstly, you will be cool and then they will shortly spend it again.
So meta Coonawarra in hassle, but eventually it's gonna take time
could take years decades, but eventually that will be a source
of loss for them, then they will be dominated. Well, Latina, Cafaro
Illa Johanna Musa and eventually in the hereafter they're going to
go to hellfire anyway, why does Allah allow all of this to happen?
This is what being said. Lee Amis Allah Who hobbies I mean by Allah
wants to separate out the good from the bad
those who do good and they suffer and they have today they tolerate
the patient wager al-harbi is about the who Allah about and then
he wants to put all the evil on top of one another. Welcome who
Jimmy invasion we gather it all together and put it into hellfire.
These are the people of loss.
The last verse here to end up is fair and what you will learn fair
animal and Hola Hola. Hola como Nirmal Mola when airman Nasi, if
they refuse, if they turn back they turn away then know that
Allah the Prophet Rossum has been told no that Allah and we're told
Allah is your MO Allah. Allah is the best patron. Allah is the one
who looks after you Nirmal Mola, he is the best of the patrons
whenever min Nasi and he's the best of the helpers. So to
reiterate our faith with Allah subhanho wa Taala that ends this
chapter. Let us just quickly do our recap
of the main themes here. As I said, Musa Instagram story after
shavasana story, it's a story moosari some long story, just the
various different antics the various different incidents, the
various, what they had to do, and the resemblance to our you know,
what we can learn from them and so on and so forth. That was the
discussion.
Then we have
Allah says Wa Khattab nada who fill Allah him in coalition when
Allah Subhan Allah gave most Musa salaam, his rulings for his people
the law. And he said, fee him Oh either and this is verse 145.
Allah then says for whole Hobbico hold on too strongly. Any divine
message has to be held on throne so we learn as well. We have to
hold on to the Quran strongly as well.
When the difficulty became tough on Musa these are much worse.
Allah subhanaw taala dentelles Musa alayhis salam to seek
assistance in Allah and be patient. And then he mentions him
that don't worry, the whole earth will be yours.
That's all promises for us as well.
Allah subhanho wa Taala then discusses that his mercy
encompasses everything. And Allah subhanho wa Taala who he'll give
his mercy to that's been mentioned as well May Allah make us of them.
The story
of Bank
of Baroda Balaam even a borrower we didn't go into the whole story,
but that's a story to show that look just having me and knowledge,
having lots of degrees, PhDs or whatever, are just lots of
knowledge at your fingertips on a phone for everybody doesn't make
it anything. There's a lot more to religion than that.
And finally, then there's the discussion of
the beginning of creation and the covenant of Adam, you know, that
went after otherwise son was born. That was the discussion there.
Then skeletal and fall begins so little rough ends and and fall
begins and that's the discussion of the war, booty and the war
spoils. And finally, there's the whole discussion and again, more
lessons to be learned from the battle of budder. And,
and finally, Allah subhanaw taala is promises to, to the to the
faithful
So Alhamdulillah we managed to complete it again. Allah subhanaw
taala accept this from us and Allah subhanaw taala allow us to
continue for the rest of our life to learn more from the Quran
become learners of it, and teachers of it in some capacity
because the prophets are awesome said they're the best of them.
Please pray for us. We pray for you that Allah bless you all
JazakAllah hair filled that one and hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
