00:00:24 --> 00:00:31

amma ba'd in this next session of the

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

Tafsir and commentary of Surah Yasin, starting at

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

ayah number 46.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:46

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, after mentioning many

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

of the signs in the heavens and some

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

of the signs of the earth and the

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

experiences of people, how they are in certain

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

types of fear but Allah subhanahu wa ta

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

'ala protects them, they call out to Allah

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala now is making

00:01:06 --> 00:01:11

a statement in this verse that it doesn't

00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

matter what sign comes to them, they will

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

always ignore it.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

They've learned to ignore the signs because they

00:01:20 --> 00:01:24

are so busy and so involved with other

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

things that they can no longer even see

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

the signs and the signs don't benefit them.

00:01:29 --> 00:01:47

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says here There

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

comes to them no sign from the signs

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

of your Lord but they turn averse to

00:01:51 --> 00:01:51

it.

00:01:53 --> 00:02:00

These signs are both heavenly signs, calamities, calamities

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

in their life, miracles that the Prophet ﷺ

00:02:04 --> 00:02:07

shows them, miracles from the splitting of the

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

moon which was observed by everybody to miracles

00:02:11 --> 00:02:15

like when some of these leaders became bold

00:02:15 --> 00:02:19

enough or rather rude enough and the shaitan

00:02:19 --> 00:02:23

spurred them enough to stand up and hurt,

00:02:24 --> 00:02:28

intend to hurt to Rasulullah ﷺ, Abu Jahl

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

and a number of others.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:34

They saw in front of them something which

00:02:34 --> 00:02:38

prevented them from getting closer to Rasulullah ﷺ

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

and it was a sign for them, it

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

was clear sign for them that they saw

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

a fire, one saw a pit of fire,

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

some saw something else.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:49

They would desist from getting close to Rasulullah

00:02:49 --> 00:02:56

ﷺ but they still continue to cause problems

00:02:56 --> 00:03:00

and mischief around, through others and directly themselves

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

as well.

00:03:01 --> 00:03:06

When they're told to spend, see the working

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

of this world is such that Allah subhanahu

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

wa ta'ala has made some people poor

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

or he's given some people less than others

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

and he's given some people more than others

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

and there's a wisdom in this in the

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21

sense that some people have less now, they

00:03:21 --> 00:03:22

may have more tomorrow.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:26

There are nations that have more sometimes and

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

then after another hundred years they don't have

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

as much.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:32

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala turns it around,

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

there's no guarantee for anything in this world

00:03:35 --> 00:03:37

except those things which Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

'ala promises and guarantees.

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

But the world is a transient thing in

00:03:41 --> 00:03:45

itself, if humans are born in time and

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

then they die in time and everything else

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

that we look around us, it has a

00:03:49 --> 00:03:53

beginning and an end, then why wouldn't richness,

00:03:54 --> 00:04:00

why wouldn't substance having something, prosperity, why wouldn't

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

that have a beginning and an end as

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

well?

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

There's no guarantee for any human being that

00:04:06 --> 00:04:07

they will remain for this long in this

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

world.

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

We see people come and go, come and

00:04:10 --> 00:04:13

go, everything around us, there's absolutely no permanence

00:04:13 --> 00:04:13

for anything.

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

Yes, just some stay longer than others, some

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

things just endure longer than others.

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24

So hence, for the poor the hukm is,

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

the ruling is, the recommendation and their responsibility

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

is to make sabr and to ask Allah

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

subhanahu wa ta'ala for steadfastness and to

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

do the best that they can.

00:04:39 --> 00:04:42

For the rich, for the wealthy, those who

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

have something and there's a distinction that's made

00:04:45 --> 00:04:48

about who's wealthy enough and who's not so

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

wealthy.

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

We have such a thing called a nisab

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53

which the Prophet ﷺ said was equal to

00:04:53 --> 00:04:56

200 dirhams or 20 dinars.

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

So, that's the criteria.

00:05:03 --> 00:05:04

But those who do have are supposed to

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06

spend on those who do not have.

00:05:07 --> 00:05:09

And that's a humanity thing.

00:05:10 --> 00:05:12

It's something which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:05:12 --> 00:05:14

has put in the human being that if

00:05:14 --> 00:05:17

they have compassion, they have care for somebody

00:05:17 --> 00:05:21

else, they have this feeling of altruism, they

00:05:21 --> 00:05:23

have this feeling of compassion for somebody else,

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

then they would spend.

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

And thus you have people with and without

00:05:28 --> 00:05:29

religion that spend.

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32

Obviously religion helps you out a lot more

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

because you're promised rewards.

00:05:35 --> 00:05:37

So with that you spend more because you

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

know what you're giving out is going to

00:05:39 --> 00:05:40

come back to you.

00:05:40 --> 00:05:41

You will get back.

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

And these people Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:05:45 --> 00:06:10

says in this next verse 47 Look

00:06:10 --> 00:06:13

at the rudeness.

00:06:13 --> 00:06:18

Not against just a religion but against human

00:06:18 --> 00:06:20

action, human compassion.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:22

This is what they say.

00:06:24 --> 00:06:27

And when it is said to them, spend

00:06:27 --> 00:06:30

on the needy from the provision Allah has

00:06:30 --> 00:06:31

given to you.

00:06:33 --> 00:06:38

And the disbelievers say to the believers, this

00:06:38 --> 00:06:39

is what they said.

00:06:40 --> 00:06:43

Shall we feed those whom Allah could have

00:06:43 --> 00:06:46

fed if Allah so willed?

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48

Meaning if Allah wanted He could have fed

00:06:48 --> 00:06:49

them Himself.

00:06:49 --> 00:06:51

Why are we being asked to feed them?

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54

You are in open error.

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

This is completely wrong what you're telling us

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

to do.

00:06:58 --> 00:07:01

This is explained by the Mufassireen.

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

That when it's told to them as advice

00:07:06 --> 00:07:08

that you should spend on the poor.

00:07:09 --> 00:07:10

This is the proof of your belief.

00:07:11 --> 00:07:14

And this is speaking about the kuffar and

00:07:14 --> 00:07:16

the munafiqeen, the hypocrites.

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

Whatever you've been given, spend on the poor.

00:07:21 --> 00:07:22

They're from your own tribes people.

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

They're from your own background.

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

And you share in many things.

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

Spend on them.

00:07:30 --> 00:07:33

So these disbelievers will say to the believers,

00:07:34 --> 00:07:38

we spend on these miskeen whom Allah has

00:07:38 --> 00:07:39

made poor.

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

There's a reason Allah has made them poor.

00:07:41 --> 00:07:44

Why should we spend on them to enrich

00:07:44 --> 00:07:44

them?

00:07:45 --> 00:07:47

You are but in clear error.

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49

You don't know what you're speaking about.

00:07:51 --> 00:07:52

You're mistaken.

00:07:52 --> 00:07:56

Meaning, you believers, you are clearly in some

00:07:56 --> 00:07:57

kind of error.

00:07:57 --> 00:07:58

You don't know what you're speaking about.

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

Allah has kept them poor.

00:08:00 --> 00:08:01

Why do you want to spend on them?

00:08:03 --> 00:08:06

Ibn Abbas says, he relates that in Makkah

00:08:06 --> 00:08:09

there were some people who were out of

00:08:09 --> 00:08:10

this faith.

00:08:10 --> 00:08:10

Some kuffar.

00:08:11 --> 00:08:13

And whenever they would be told to give

00:08:13 --> 00:08:16

sadaqah to the poor people, they would say,

00:08:19 --> 00:08:21

By Allah, they're swearing by Allah that we

00:08:21 --> 00:08:22

will not do it.

00:08:23 --> 00:08:24

So they've got belief in Allah.

00:08:25 --> 00:08:26

Clearly they believe in other things as well.

00:08:26 --> 00:08:28

But they believe in Allah.

00:08:28 --> 00:08:29

We won't do it.

00:08:29 --> 00:08:30

They swear by Allah that we will not

00:08:30 --> 00:08:31

do it.

00:08:31 --> 00:08:33

Allah keeps them poor and we have to

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

spend on them.

00:08:38 --> 00:08:40

That we have to spend on them.

00:08:41 --> 00:08:43

And you know, it's not that they didn't

00:08:43 --> 00:08:45

necessarily want to spend on them.

00:08:45 --> 00:08:49

This is just their hatred for the believers

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51

led them to say this to the believers

00:08:51 --> 00:08:53

to make the believers feel bad and to

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

just reject what they had said.

00:08:56 --> 00:08:58

It's not necessarily that they do not want

00:08:58 --> 00:08:59

to spend.

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

Maybe so.

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

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will cause them

00:09:03 --> 00:09:04

to become miserly in that sense anyway.

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

But then this is just to make the

00:09:08 --> 00:09:11

believers feel bad and to just not believe

00:09:11 --> 00:09:12

in anything that the believers are telling them.

00:09:12 --> 00:09:17

In other words, what they're trying to say

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

is that if you people continue to say

00:09:19 --> 00:09:22

that Allah is the Razik, Allah is the

00:09:22 --> 00:09:23

sustainer.

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

Because remember, although they believe that Allah created

00:09:25 --> 00:09:28

everybody, they had brought in other intermediaries for

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

other things.

00:09:29 --> 00:09:31

And they probably had a God who was

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

the Razik.

00:09:32 --> 00:09:35

Meaning, they thought that something else provided the

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

sustenance.

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38

So they're saying to them, to the believers,

00:09:38 --> 00:09:40

that if you people believe that Allah subhanahu

00:09:40 --> 00:09:44

wa ta'ala is the only sustainer, then

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46

he would have fed these poor people.

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

He would have given these poor people to

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

eat.

00:09:53 --> 00:09:55

Why should you tell us to spend on

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

them?

00:09:56 --> 00:10:00

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala completely detested this

00:10:00 --> 00:10:01

kind of statement.

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

And he mentions it here in the Quran

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

that when they're told to spend, this is

00:10:06 --> 00:10:07

what they say.

00:10:08 --> 00:10:10

And then sometimes when these believers, when they

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

would become totally, when they could not have

00:10:15 --> 00:10:18

any more response, when they would become tired

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

of giving a response, knowing that it doesn't

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

get them anywhere, then they would get even

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

more angry.

00:10:23 --> 00:10:24

I mean, obviously this first statement that they've

00:10:24 --> 00:10:26

just made, it's in anger, it's stupidity, it's

00:10:26 --> 00:10:27

foolishness.

00:10:28 --> 00:10:56

Then they say, Finally,

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

they begin to say, when will this promise

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

come true?

00:11:00 --> 00:11:01

You keep warning us, bring it on.

00:11:01 --> 00:11:03

When will this promise come true?

00:11:03 --> 00:11:05

If you are truthful, bring it, let it

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

come true.

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08

They are looking for nothing but for a

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

single cry, that will seize them when they

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

will be quarreling.

00:11:13 --> 00:11:14

So they will not be able to make

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

a bequest, nor will they be able to

00:11:16 --> 00:11:17

return to their household.

00:11:19 --> 00:11:20

So this is what Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:11:20 --> 00:11:23

'ala's response is to this question.

00:11:25 --> 00:11:27

So firstly, they think it's not going to

00:11:27 --> 00:11:27

happen.

00:11:28 --> 00:11:30

They believe people will die, but they don't

00:11:30 --> 00:11:32

believe that a punishment can come, or that

00:11:32 --> 00:11:33

they will all be...

00:11:33 --> 00:11:35

So then they say, well, when is it

00:11:35 --> 00:11:36

going to come, if it's going to come?

00:11:36 --> 00:11:37

Clearly, they don't want it to come.

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39

They're just thinking that it's not going to

00:11:39 --> 00:11:43

come, but this is one way to make

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46

the other people look foolish, that okay, bring

00:11:46 --> 00:11:48

it on, and then it won't come, so

00:11:48 --> 00:11:52

that they will feel that they've overcome their

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

opponents.

00:11:53 --> 00:11:54

So where is this punishment?

00:11:55 --> 00:11:56

Where is this day of judgment?

00:11:56 --> 00:11:57

Where is this last day that you keep

00:11:57 --> 00:11:59

speaking about, if you're truthful in it?

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

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, if we

00:12:02 --> 00:12:03

want to bring it on, you don't need

00:12:03 --> 00:12:04

the day of judgment.

00:12:04 --> 00:12:07

All it needs to be is a single

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

cry.

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

And remember, this ties in with the earlier

00:12:10 --> 00:12:13

part of this surah, because the nation that

00:12:13 --> 00:12:15

was spoken about earlier, the people of Antioch,

00:12:16 --> 00:12:19

Antiochia, who had also denied the messengers that

00:12:19 --> 00:12:22

were sent to them through Isa a.s.,

00:12:22 --> 00:12:24

and they had acted in this way, where

00:12:24 --> 00:12:26

they had killed this Habib al-Najjar.

00:12:26 --> 00:12:28

If you remember, Habib al-Najjar had tried

00:12:28 --> 00:12:33

to give them nasiha, advise them and counsel

00:12:33 --> 00:12:34

them, that they should follow what the messengers

00:12:34 --> 00:12:35

were saying.

00:12:35 --> 00:12:37

They had killed him, and Allah subhanahu wa

00:12:37 --> 00:12:38

ta'ala got very angry.

00:12:39 --> 00:12:42

And Jibreel a.s. was sent down.

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

In fact, Jibreel a.s. just gave one

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

shriek, one scream, and that just ended all

00:12:48 --> 00:12:49

of them.

00:12:50 --> 00:12:51

Just by one scream.

00:12:52 --> 00:12:56

مَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَاحِدَةً تَأْخُذُهُمْ They're just

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

waiting for a single scream, that will come

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

to them all of a sudden.

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

It will just hit them suddenly, when they

00:13:02 --> 00:13:03

would be least expecting it.

00:13:05 --> 00:13:08

وَهُمْ يَخِسِّمُونَ They would be just, they could

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10

be either in the middle of a quarrel

00:13:10 --> 00:13:11

with another person, in the middle of a

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

dispute, in the middle of a trade, in

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

the middle of dealing with somebody else.

00:13:16 --> 00:13:17

It could be anyway, it will catch them

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

unaware, that's what they're trying to say.

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

That's what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is

00:13:21 --> 00:13:21

saying.

00:13:22 --> 00:13:25

So they're either dealing in their markets, they're

00:13:25 --> 00:13:26

dealing with somebody else, they're in the middle

00:13:26 --> 00:13:27

of some business.

00:13:28 --> 00:13:29

And they wouldn't even know that it has

00:13:29 --> 00:13:30

overcome them.

00:13:30 --> 00:13:33

Because there will be no time after it.

00:13:34 --> 00:13:35

That will be it.

00:13:35 --> 00:13:36

Whatever they will be in the middle of

00:13:36 --> 00:13:39

doing, and this shirk is sounded.

00:13:41 --> 00:13:44

Then it will, they won't have a change

00:13:44 --> 00:13:45

of scene.

00:13:46 --> 00:13:47

That will be the end of it.

00:13:47 --> 00:13:50

They won't be allowed to change what they're

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

doing.

00:13:50 --> 00:13:52

They will die in the state that they're

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

in.

00:13:54 --> 00:13:57

Ibn Kathir rahimahullah says, Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:13:57 --> 00:14:01

'ala knows best, he says, but this seems

00:14:01 --> 00:14:06

to indicate not an additional punishment, but about

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

the end of this world when the angel

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

Israfil a.s. will be told to blow

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

the trumpet.

00:14:15 --> 00:14:18

And when he will blow the trumpet, people

00:14:18 --> 00:14:20

will be in their bazaars, in their markets,

00:14:21 --> 00:14:22

in their business, in their shops, in their

00:14:22 --> 00:14:25

stores, or doing whatever they have to do

00:14:25 --> 00:14:27

in their daily chores.

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

They may be talking to somebody or arguing

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32

with somebody or disputing with somebody.

00:14:32 --> 00:14:34

When they will be in this state, in

00:14:34 --> 00:14:37

their normal daily state, Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:14:37 --> 00:14:40

'ala will command Israfil a.s. to blow

00:14:40 --> 00:14:40

in the trumpet.

00:14:41 --> 00:14:42

He will blow.

00:14:43 --> 00:14:46

And this blowing will be prolonged.

00:14:46 --> 00:14:50

It will be a prolonged sound that will

00:14:50 --> 00:14:51

emit from this.

00:14:52 --> 00:14:56

And from this, nobody would be able to

00:14:56 --> 00:15:00

change their situation, their state, their standing, their

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

position.

00:15:01 --> 00:15:03

Because as soon as they hear it, they

00:15:03 --> 00:15:05

will first * their heads to decide to

00:15:05 --> 00:15:06

see what is this sound.

00:15:07 --> 00:15:09

And either it's gonna get louder or it's

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

gonna pierce.

00:15:10 --> 00:15:11

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala knows best.

00:15:11 --> 00:15:12

May Allah protect us from this.

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

Because when this happens, only the worst of

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

the people will be on the earth.

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

Only the worst of the people can be

00:15:20 --> 00:15:21

on this earth.

00:15:21 --> 00:15:22

So as long as we have Iman and

00:15:22 --> 00:15:24

we're maintaining our Iman so that we do

00:15:24 --> 00:15:25

not lose it.

00:15:25 --> 00:15:28

Because it's important that we have Iman and

00:15:28 --> 00:15:31

that we maintain our Iman and that we're

00:15:31 --> 00:15:32

concerned about it.

00:15:32 --> 00:15:34

Because Iman could be lost.

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

Iman is also not a permanent thing.

00:15:37 --> 00:15:38

It could be lost.

00:15:39 --> 00:15:41

And we do not want to be of

00:15:41 --> 00:15:42

the worst of the people that have ever

00:15:42 --> 00:15:43

lived this world.

00:15:44 --> 00:15:46

As we covered in our signs of the

00:15:46 --> 00:15:48

Day of Judgment, that the worst of the

00:15:48 --> 00:15:49

people will be those who will be at

00:15:49 --> 00:15:50

the end of time.

00:15:51 --> 00:15:54

And they are the people where among them

00:15:54 --> 00:15:56

not a single person remains to say Allah.

00:15:56 --> 00:15:59

And then Qiyamah, the trumpet will be blown.

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

So when they will be in this, going

00:16:03 --> 00:16:06

about their daily chores, this heavenly, this sound

00:16:06 --> 00:16:07

will come from the heaven.

00:16:08 --> 00:16:13

And then they will bend their heads, they

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

will try to listen.

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

What is this sound?

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

فَلَا يَسْتَطِعُونَ تَوْصِيَةً وَلَا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمْ يَرْجِعُونَ They

00:16:22 --> 00:16:25

would not be able to make a bequest.

00:16:25 --> 00:16:28

A bequest is something you do before you

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

die.

00:16:29 --> 00:16:30

Oh, you know I owe so and so

00:16:30 --> 00:16:33

so much or give this much to so

00:16:33 --> 00:16:33

much.

00:16:34 --> 00:16:36

Make sure you look after my youngest.

00:16:36 --> 00:16:38

Make sure you take care of your mother.

00:16:38 --> 00:16:39

Make sure you take care of your father.

00:16:40 --> 00:16:41

Make sure you look after this, you look

00:16:41 --> 00:16:42

after that.

00:16:42 --> 00:16:44

None of this kind of wasiya, this is

00:16:44 --> 00:16:48

called wasiya, bequest, a final parting advice, it's

00:16:48 --> 00:16:49

not possible.

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

Because this, when the horn is blown, it

00:16:52 --> 00:16:54

will be kind of a continuous sound, a

00:16:54 --> 00:16:55

prolonged sound.

00:16:55 --> 00:16:58

And a person will not be able to

00:16:58 --> 00:16:59

change their state.

00:16:59 --> 00:17:01

Whatever state they're in, that's it, it's done.

00:17:01 --> 00:17:03

That's the state they will die in.

00:17:03 --> 00:17:05

وَلَا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمْ يَرْجِعُونَ They won't be able

00:17:05 --> 00:17:06

to go back home.

00:17:07 --> 00:17:09

They won't be able to go back home.

00:17:10 --> 00:17:12

Because the effect of it will be too

00:17:12 --> 00:17:13

fast.

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

It says in a hadith, the day of

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

judgment will occur.

00:17:18 --> 00:17:21

لَتَقُومَنَّ السَّاعَةِ The day of judgment will occur,

00:17:21 --> 00:17:23

meaning this final moment will take place.

00:17:24 --> 00:17:30

وَقَدْ نَشَرَ الرَّجُلَانِ ثَوْبًا بَيْنَهُمَا فَلَا يَتَبَايِعَانِهِ وَلَا

00:17:30 --> 00:17:35

يَطْوِيَانِهِ And just to depict how this will

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37

happen, the Prophet ﷺ gives about three different

00:17:37 --> 00:17:38

depictions, three different scenarios.

00:17:39 --> 00:17:42

For example, a person will be buying cloth

00:17:42 --> 00:17:43

from another person.

00:17:44 --> 00:17:46

They've just spread the cloth to show, the

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

seller has spread the cloth to show the

00:17:49 --> 00:17:50

other person this is what the cloth looks

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

like.

00:17:51 --> 00:17:52

And then the trumpet will be sound, the

00:17:52 --> 00:17:53

final moment will come.

00:17:54 --> 00:17:56

They will not be able to roll this

00:17:56 --> 00:17:57

cloth up, they will not be able to

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

make the purchase, but it will end in

00:18:01 --> 00:18:02

the middle of this transaction.

00:18:03 --> 00:18:07

Another example, another scenario is, وَلَتَقُومَ النَّسَاعَ وَهُوَ

00:18:07 --> 00:18:14

يُلِيطُ حَوْضَهُ أَيُّصْلِحَهُ بِالطِّينِ That the final moment

00:18:14 --> 00:18:19

will occur, a person is trying to renovate

00:18:19 --> 00:18:24

or just kind of patch up his watering

00:18:24 --> 00:18:26

hole for his animals, for his own watering

00:18:26 --> 00:18:27

place.

00:18:27 --> 00:18:28

Maybe it's a bit defective.

00:18:28 --> 00:18:31

He's starting to do that, and it will

00:18:31 --> 00:18:31

occur.

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

He won't be able to move aside.

00:18:34 --> 00:18:35

He won't be able to drink from it.

00:18:35 --> 00:18:37

He won't be able to have his animals

00:18:37 --> 00:18:37

drink from it.

00:18:37 --> 00:18:38

He'll still be in the middle of fixing

00:18:38 --> 00:18:39

it, and it will end.

00:18:41 --> 00:18:43

وَلَتَقُومَ النَّسَاعَ And if you want it even

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

faster than that, something even more specific, the

00:18:45 --> 00:18:47

last day will occur.

00:18:47 --> 00:18:52

وَقَدْ رَفَعَ أُكْلَتَهُ إِلَىٰ فِيهِ فَلَا يَطْعَمَهَا A

00:18:52 --> 00:18:54

person would have taken a morsel of food.

00:18:54 --> 00:18:55

Somebody is going to be eating there somewhere.

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

He would have taken a spoon towards his

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

mouth, raised his fingers to his mouth, and

00:19:02 --> 00:19:05

he will not be able to eat it.

00:19:06 --> 00:19:08

Once that sounds, he will die in the

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

middle of it.

00:19:09 --> 00:19:10

That's how fast it is.

00:19:11 --> 00:19:12

There's absolutely no time.

00:19:12 --> 00:19:14

Even in a hurricane, you can go and,

00:19:14 --> 00:19:17

they say, stand underneath a doorway, get under

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

a table.

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

You know, there's things you can do, and

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

hope, inshallah, pray for the best.

00:19:21 --> 00:19:23

But this is not anything like that.

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

This is on a different magnitude, on an

00:19:27 --> 00:19:28

absolutely different level.

00:19:29 --> 00:19:32

Then, there's going to be the second, the

00:19:32 --> 00:19:33

second blowing.

00:19:33 --> 00:19:34

This is the first blowing of the trumpet.

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

The second blowing of the trumpet is when,

00:19:39 --> 00:19:41

after the humans, anybody else that's remaining.

00:19:42 --> 00:19:43

There are different opinions, there are different narrations

00:19:43 --> 00:19:44

about this.

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

But there will be another blowing, and by

00:19:47 --> 00:19:49

that, all the other angels and everything else

00:19:49 --> 00:19:50

that had not died from the first one,

00:19:51 --> 00:19:52

they will also perish.

00:19:52 --> 00:19:54

Then there will be the third one, and

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

that third one is when everybody will come

00:19:56 --> 00:19:57

back out.

00:19:57 --> 00:20:00

That will be for re-creation or resurrection.

00:20:01 --> 00:20:03

Al-ba'th, wal-nushur.

00:20:03 --> 00:20:05

And that's when people will come out of

00:20:05 --> 00:20:06

their graves.

00:20:07 --> 00:20:08

And that's why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:20:08 --> 00:20:11

speaks about that in the next verse, jumping

00:20:11 --> 00:20:13

from this point of the final day.

00:20:14 --> 00:20:18

وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُورِ فَإِذَا هُم مِّنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ إِلَىٰ

00:20:18 --> 00:20:25

رَبِّهِمْ يَنْسِلُونَ And then, Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:20:25 --> 00:20:27

'ala says, and then the horn will be

00:20:27 --> 00:20:30

blown, and suddenly, they will be rushing from

00:20:30 --> 00:20:31

their graves towards their Lord.

00:20:32 --> 00:20:34

So this is speaking about the third blowing.

00:20:35 --> 00:20:36

It speaks about the other two in other

00:20:36 --> 00:20:39

places, but now it fast-forwards, trying to

00:20:39 --> 00:20:41

take us to the Day of Judgment.

00:20:41 --> 00:20:44

That now, it will be blown again, and

00:20:44 --> 00:20:45

they will all now come out of their

00:20:45 --> 00:20:46

graves.

00:20:46 --> 00:20:47

They'll be rushing out of their graves.

00:20:48 --> 00:20:51

يَنْسِلُونَ يَنْسِلُونَ means to pour out.

00:20:51 --> 00:20:52

Everybody will be fast.

00:20:52 --> 00:20:54

It won't be like you're so tired, and

00:20:54 --> 00:20:55

you're just trying to get out.

00:20:55 --> 00:20:56

You will be forced out.

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

You will have to come out.

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

Although you will be very tired, but you'll

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

have to come out of there.

00:21:02 --> 00:21:03

So you can't stay around.

00:21:03 --> 00:21:04

You can't stay inside.

00:21:04 --> 00:21:06

A person has to come out.

00:21:06 --> 00:21:12

Tabari says, يَنْسِلُونَ means really fast, walking out

00:21:12 --> 00:21:14

really fast, just moving in great haste.

00:21:14 --> 00:21:21

قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا مَنْ بَعْثَنَا مِنْ مَرْقَدِنَا هَذَا

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

مَا وَعَدَ الرَّحْمَٰنُ وَصَدَقَ الْمُرْسَلُونَ And when they

00:21:28 --> 00:21:30

come out, it's as though they're forced to

00:21:30 --> 00:21:33

come out, and they're concerned.

00:21:34 --> 00:21:36

So now they will scream out, who is

00:21:36 --> 00:21:40

it that caused us to come out?

00:21:40 --> 00:21:42

They will say, woe to us, who has

00:21:42 --> 00:21:44

raised us from our sleeping places?

00:21:45 --> 00:21:48

This is what the Rahman, the merciful had

00:21:48 --> 00:21:48

promised.

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

And the messengers had told the truth.

00:21:51 --> 00:21:52

So this will all dawn to them that

00:21:52 --> 00:21:54

this is what was being told to us,

00:21:54 --> 00:21:56

this is what was being promised.

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

And then, as had been told about the

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

cry, it's repeated again.

00:22:02 --> 00:22:04

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala repeats again.

00:22:07 --> 00:22:13

إِن كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَاحِدَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ جَمِيعُ

00:22:13 --> 00:22:20

الَّذَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ It will be no more than

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

a single cry, and in no time they

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

will be arraigned before us.

00:22:24 --> 00:22:30

And then, فَالْيَوْمَ لَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْئًا وَلَا

00:22:30 --> 00:22:36

تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ Then nobody will

00:22:36 --> 00:22:38

be subjected to injustice in the least.

00:22:39 --> 00:22:42

No oppression will be committed against anybody on

00:22:42 --> 00:22:45

that day, and you will not be recompensed,

00:22:45 --> 00:22:47

but for what you used to do.

00:22:47 --> 00:22:50

So this is now about the hereafter.

00:22:51 --> 00:22:53

That eventually they're all in front of Allah

00:22:53 --> 00:22:54

subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:22:54 --> 00:22:57

Now they're in the presence of the mighty

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

Lord.

00:22:58 --> 00:23:01

And they will say, how we're in destruction

00:23:01 --> 00:23:03

now, because they're coming out of this grave,

00:23:03 --> 00:23:04

they can't help it.

00:23:04 --> 00:23:07

They say, now we're in destruction, who's taken

00:23:07 --> 00:23:08

us out of this grave?

00:23:08 --> 00:23:12

Ibn Kathir says that, this doesn't mean that

00:23:12 --> 00:23:15

they were not punished in the grave, because

00:23:15 --> 00:23:16

this seems to kind of indicate that they

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

would rather stay where they were.

00:23:18 --> 00:23:20

Like who's taken us out of here?

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

Why would you say that, if you didn't

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

want to come out?

00:23:24 --> 00:23:26

But it's not because that there wasn't punishment

00:23:26 --> 00:23:27

in the grave.

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

This does not deny the fact that there

00:23:30 --> 00:23:32

was punishment in the grave.

00:23:32 --> 00:23:34

There is punishment in the grave, but it

00:23:34 --> 00:23:36

was obviously much less and much lighter compared

00:23:36 --> 00:23:39

to what they feel they're going to come

00:23:39 --> 00:23:40

towards.

00:23:40 --> 00:23:42

Because they know they're in the grave, they

00:23:42 --> 00:23:44

know that there's supposed to be hereafter when

00:23:44 --> 00:23:45

the punishment has come in the grave, that

00:23:45 --> 00:23:47

will give them all the belief that they

00:23:47 --> 00:23:47

wanted.

00:23:48 --> 00:23:50

You know, in this world you could deny

00:23:50 --> 00:23:50

the hereafter.

00:23:51 --> 00:23:53

But once you get into the grave, and

00:23:53 --> 00:23:56

you start seeing the punishment, then it convinces

00:23:56 --> 00:23:57

you that, look, if this is what it

00:23:57 --> 00:23:58

was, and those people who used to believe

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

in that, they were talking about punishment in

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

the grave, then that means there's going to

00:24:02 --> 00:24:04

be further punishment later on.

00:24:04 --> 00:24:05

Now the belief will come to them, the

00:24:05 --> 00:24:07

haqiqah is there already now.

00:24:07 --> 00:24:09

They have become believers now in a sense,

00:24:10 --> 00:24:12

because there can't be any kufr in the

00:24:12 --> 00:24:13

grave.

00:24:14 --> 00:24:15

It's all belief.

00:24:15 --> 00:24:17

After a person is about to die, it's

00:24:17 --> 00:24:17

all belief.

00:24:17 --> 00:24:20

There is no kufr afterwards, in the sense

00:24:20 --> 00:24:21

that you can't deny.

00:24:22 --> 00:24:23

There's no escape afterwards.

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

So that's why, what they found in their

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

grave would be more lenient compared to, and

00:24:32 --> 00:24:35

that's why they are scared now.

00:24:37 --> 00:24:42

So where it mentions in this verse, This

00:24:42 --> 00:24:44

is what the Rahman had promised, and the

00:24:44 --> 00:24:45

messengers had told the truth.

00:24:46 --> 00:24:47

Who is saying this?

00:24:47 --> 00:24:50

Either the angels will tell them that, when

00:24:50 --> 00:24:51

they will be in bewilderment, the angels will

00:24:51 --> 00:24:52

tell them that, or the believers will say,

00:24:52 --> 00:24:54

look, remember, we used to tell you, we

00:24:54 --> 00:24:56

used to talk to you.

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

And thus, when Israfil A.S., again this

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

is the beginning, Israfil A.S. will blow

00:25:02 --> 00:25:06

this horn once, And then this will cause

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

them out, they will be in front of

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

us.

00:25:10 --> 00:25:15

Sawi says, that this shrik of Israfil, will

00:25:15 --> 00:25:17

not be second shrik, this is talking about

00:25:17 --> 00:25:21

again, because it mentioned that, and the horn

00:25:21 --> 00:25:22

will be blown, and suddenly they will be

00:25:22 --> 00:25:24

rushing from their graves towards their Lord.

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

They will say, woe to us, who has

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

raised us from our sleeping place.

00:25:27 --> 00:25:28

This is what the Rahman had promised, and

00:25:28 --> 00:25:29

the messenger told the truth.

00:25:30 --> 00:25:31

It will be no more than a single

00:25:31 --> 00:25:33

cry, and in no time they will be

00:25:33 --> 00:25:33

arraigned before us.

00:25:34 --> 00:25:36

So this seems like another cry afterwards, after

00:25:36 --> 00:25:39

the horn is blown, the trumpet is blasted.

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

And thus, what Sawi, another Mufassir, he says,

00:25:45 --> 00:25:50

that this is actually referring to, Israfil will

00:25:50 --> 00:25:52

make an announcement, this is what he will

00:25:52 --> 00:25:59

say, ايَتُهَا الْعِظَامُ النَّخِرَةَ Or, worn out bones,

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

in the graves, the worn out bones, the

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

decomposed bones, وَالْأَوْصَالَ الْمُتَقَطِعَ وَالْأَجْزَاءَ الْمُتَفَرِّقَ

00:26:10 --> 00:26:17

وَالْشُعُورَ الْمُتَمَزِّقَ The hair of the human being,

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

that's all over the place, pieces that are

00:26:19 --> 00:26:22

scattered all around, at a molecular level, everything

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

has been decomposed.

00:26:24 --> 00:26:29

Imagine people from the earlier generations, totally decomposed,

00:26:29 --> 00:26:30

mixed in with the earth.

00:26:30 --> 00:26:32

He will call out and say, all of

00:26:32 --> 00:26:38

you decomposed bodies, you split up pieces, disintegrated

00:26:38 --> 00:26:41

pieces, scattered bits, all come together.

00:26:43 --> 00:26:47

اِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُنَّ أَن تَجْتَمِعْنَا لِفَصْلِ الْقَضَاءِ Allah

00:26:47 --> 00:26:49

subhanahu wa ta'ala orders you all, all

00:26:49 --> 00:26:52

of you pieces and hair and bits, Allah

00:26:52 --> 00:26:54

is ordering all of you to come together

00:26:55 --> 00:26:57

and to reconstruct.

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

ثُمَّ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُورِ فَإِذَاهُمْ مَجْمُعُونَ فِي مَوْقِفِ

00:27:01 --> 00:27:03

الْحِسَابِ And then He will blow the trumpet,

00:27:05 --> 00:27:07

so that is the blowing of the trumpet

00:27:07 --> 00:27:08

for that resurrection.

00:27:09 --> 00:27:11

He will make this announcement first, call out

00:27:11 --> 00:27:13

to these pieces, they will come together, He

00:27:13 --> 00:27:15

will blow the trumpet and then the life

00:27:15 --> 00:27:16

will be given back to them.

00:27:16 --> 00:27:17

And then they will come out of their

00:27:17 --> 00:27:18

graves.

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

فَالْيَوْمَ لَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسُ شَيْئًا وَلَا تُجَزَوْنَ إِلَّا

00:27:23 --> 00:27:26

مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ And thus it's declared that

00:27:26 --> 00:27:28

there will be no oppression on this day.

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

Meaning whatever you have done, you'll get for

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

what you've done.

00:27:31 --> 00:27:33

And what you haven't done, what the wrongs

00:27:33 --> 00:27:35

that you've done, you will be punished for

00:27:35 --> 00:27:36

that.

00:27:36 --> 00:27:37

There will be no oppression, you won't be

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

given more punishment than what you have done.

00:27:40 --> 00:27:42

But the punishment even for the smallest thing

00:27:42 --> 00:27:43

is severe indeed.

00:27:45 --> 00:27:47

So nobody is going to...

00:27:47 --> 00:27:49

You know like what happens in this world

00:27:49 --> 00:27:52

sometimes is that according to the law, you

00:27:52 --> 00:27:53

have to...

00:27:54 --> 00:27:55

Some crime has been committed.

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

It's in the books.

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

It's been reported.

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

And thus somebody is going to have to

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

be framed for it.

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

If you know who the person is and

00:28:03 --> 00:28:05

they want to get them out sometimes, what

00:28:05 --> 00:28:06

they do is they frame an innocent person.

00:28:07 --> 00:28:08

It happens a lot of the time.

00:28:09 --> 00:28:10

Somebody has been murdered.

00:28:11 --> 00:28:12

You can't deny that fact.

00:28:12 --> 00:28:13

Somebody has been murdered.

00:28:13 --> 00:28:15

It's very difficult to hide a murder.

00:28:15 --> 00:28:18

There are people behind the murdered person that

00:28:18 --> 00:28:20

want justice.

00:28:20 --> 00:28:22

So now the person who is the murderer,

00:28:24 --> 00:28:27

if he or she has to be concealed,

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

they have to frame somebody else.

00:28:28 --> 00:28:29

It happens in this world.

00:28:30 --> 00:28:31

Evidence is doctored.

00:28:32 --> 00:28:34

Proofs are made up and fabricated.

00:28:35 --> 00:28:37

And thus somebody else goes to prison despite

00:28:37 --> 00:28:37

their denial.

00:28:37 --> 00:28:39

Because all criminals like to deny.

00:28:40 --> 00:28:41

So it's a normal thing.

00:28:41 --> 00:28:42

So it doesn't seem out of place.

00:28:43 --> 00:28:44

But in the hereafter, Allah is making it

00:28:44 --> 00:28:45

very clear.

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

Nobody is going to be forced to carry

00:28:51 --> 00:28:52

the burden of somebody else.

00:28:53 --> 00:28:54

Somebody else sinned.

00:28:54 --> 00:28:56

You will not be carrying their sin.

00:28:56 --> 00:28:58

Yes, if you were the cause of their

00:28:58 --> 00:28:58

sin, you will be.

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

But not if you had nothing to do

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

with it.

00:29:01 --> 00:29:02

There will be no injustice.

00:29:02 --> 00:29:03

I like this guy.

00:29:03 --> 00:29:04

Okay, you know, throw it over to the

00:29:04 --> 00:29:05

other person.

00:29:05 --> 00:29:06

I don't like this guy.

00:29:06 --> 00:29:08

You know, let's give him everybody else's sin.

00:29:08 --> 00:29:10

Unless there's a reason for it.

00:29:10 --> 00:29:12

Meaning unless you have aggressed against somebody else.

00:29:15 --> 00:29:17

So that is the state of the disbelievers.

00:29:18 --> 00:29:20

Now, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala everywhere in

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

the Quran, whenever He speaks about disbelievers, whenever

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

He speaks about punishment, He doesn't just create

00:29:27 --> 00:29:31

a great fright and major terror and then

00:29:31 --> 00:29:34

leave it at that and leave people reading.

00:29:34 --> 00:29:35

He always gives them a way out.

00:29:36 --> 00:29:37

This is the compassion of Allah subhanahu wa

00:29:37 --> 00:29:38

ta'ala.

00:29:38 --> 00:29:40

Yes, He has anger and He has the

00:29:40 --> 00:29:42

wrath and He's going to avenge.

00:29:43 --> 00:29:44

But at the end of the day, He

00:29:44 --> 00:29:45

loves His humans.

00:29:45 --> 00:29:47

He loves His creation.

00:29:47 --> 00:29:49

And He wants them to do right.

00:29:49 --> 00:29:51

So whenever there's punishment mentioned, there will always

00:29:51 --> 00:29:53

be good things mentioned afterwards.

00:29:53 --> 00:29:54

Always.

00:29:54 --> 00:29:57

Just so that people whose hearts have softened

00:29:57 --> 00:29:58

because of the fright that they have received

00:29:58 --> 00:30:01

from this, inshallah, this softness will turn and

00:30:01 --> 00:30:05

they will want the hope for what Allah

00:30:05 --> 00:30:06

subhanahu wa ta'ala is mentioning.

00:30:06 --> 00:30:09

And that's why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:30:09 --> 00:30:11

now begins to speak about the bounties of

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

paradise.

00:30:12 --> 00:30:15

And just as evil as * was and

00:30:15 --> 00:30:17

its description and the terrors of the last

00:30:17 --> 00:30:19

day, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala begins to

00:30:19 --> 00:30:23

speak about the beauties, the contrasting beauties of

00:30:23 --> 00:30:25

paradise and the bliss of Jannah.

00:30:26 --> 00:30:31

And thus, Indeed, the companions of Paradise today

00:30:31 --> 00:30:33

are in a fruitful occupation.

00:30:34 --> 00:30:36

They and their spouses are reclining in shade

00:30:36 --> 00:30:38

on couches.

00:30:40 --> 00:30:43

They will have therein fruit, and they will

00:30:43 --> 00:30:46

have what they ask for.

00:30:46 --> 00:30:50

Salam is a word from the Merciful Lord.

00:30:51 --> 00:30:56

The people of the paradise are engaged today

00:30:56 --> 00:30:58

in their activities.

00:30:59 --> 00:31:03

The people of paradise today are totally engrossed

00:31:04 --> 00:31:08

in their activities, happily enjoying them.

00:31:09 --> 00:31:13

They and their spouses are in pleasant shades,

00:31:13 --> 00:31:15

reclining on couches.

00:31:16 --> 00:31:18

For them, there are fruits, and for them,

00:31:18 --> 00:31:20

there is whatever they ask for.

00:31:21 --> 00:31:24

Salam, peace be upon you, is the word

00:31:24 --> 00:31:26

they receive from the Merciful Lord.

00:31:27 --> 00:31:29

That is the beauty of paradise.

00:31:30 --> 00:31:33

You look in these tourist guides, what they

00:31:33 --> 00:31:37

will show you is normally a relaxing, a

00:31:37 --> 00:31:39

nice beach, people relaxing.

00:31:41 --> 00:31:43

You know, it's always about the sun, relaxation.

00:31:44 --> 00:31:45

It's not about more work.

00:31:46 --> 00:31:48

The ultimate relaxation.

00:31:48 --> 00:31:50

Because the problem is that you go out

00:31:50 --> 00:31:52

for two weeks to go and relax somewhere.

00:31:52 --> 00:31:53

Have a nice holiday.

00:31:55 --> 00:31:59

It's not a solution all the time.

00:31:59 --> 00:32:02

You come back and you've got 200 emails

00:32:02 --> 00:32:03

now to respond to.

00:32:05 --> 00:32:07

You've got 10 more things to deal with.

00:32:08 --> 00:32:09

So, you're back to square one.

00:32:10 --> 00:32:12

It helps a bit, but then it's back

00:32:12 --> 00:32:13

to square one.

00:32:13 --> 00:32:14

Paradise is different.

00:32:15 --> 00:32:16

There is no activity.

00:32:16 --> 00:32:18

The activity is the pleasure.

00:32:20 --> 00:32:20

That is the activity.

00:32:21 --> 00:32:22

And look at the way Allah subhanahu wa

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

ta'ala says this.

00:32:23 --> 00:32:25

Looking at the shughal of this world.

00:32:25 --> 00:32:27

Shughal means to be busy in something, to

00:32:27 --> 00:32:28

be engrossed.

00:32:28 --> 00:32:31

That's the word for this life, isn't it?

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

Especially nowadays, that's what we feel.

00:32:35 --> 00:32:37

I don't know, every generation thinks that they're

00:32:37 --> 00:32:39

busier than the previous generation for some reason.

00:32:40 --> 00:32:42

I wonder what's gonna happen to our children.

00:32:42 --> 00:32:44

Even to us, because while we're still alive,

00:32:44 --> 00:32:45

we're gonna be that much busier.

00:32:45 --> 00:32:47

Because we move on in this world.

00:32:48 --> 00:32:50

I went to another country recently.

00:32:51 --> 00:32:53

And there was hardly any traffic on the

00:32:53 --> 00:32:53

streets.

00:32:54 --> 00:32:55

And hardly any population.

00:32:55 --> 00:32:57

So, I'm thinking, subhanallah, mashallah, you guys are

00:32:57 --> 00:32:59

a lot more less busy than we are.

00:33:00 --> 00:33:02

And they're all shaking their heads at me.

00:33:02 --> 00:33:04

I was talking, I was in a bayan.

00:33:04 --> 00:33:06

I was saying, mashallah, you people seem to

00:33:06 --> 00:33:07

be less busy.

00:33:08 --> 00:33:09

You know, you're not in London, you're in

00:33:09 --> 00:33:13

another city, totally uninspiring city.

00:33:13 --> 00:33:16

I don't mention the name, it's somewhere in

00:33:16 --> 00:33:16

Europe.

00:33:17 --> 00:33:18

But totally uninspiring.

00:33:19 --> 00:33:21

There's hardly any traffic on the road, you

00:33:21 --> 00:33:22

just, mashallah, cruise along.

00:33:23 --> 00:33:25

In London, it's a hassle to drive.

00:33:26 --> 00:33:28

And I'm saying, you guys aren't busy, you

00:33:28 --> 00:33:29

know, mashallah, you've got a lot of time,

00:33:29 --> 00:33:30

you can do a lot of work, you

00:33:30 --> 00:33:31

know, a lot of this and that.

00:33:32 --> 00:33:33

They're thinking I'm crazy.

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

Because they're looking at me and they're shaking

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

their heads.

00:33:37 --> 00:33:38

Everybody is busy.

00:33:39 --> 00:33:40

It's just the nature of the world today.

00:33:40 --> 00:33:44

Except the few that have managed to escape

00:33:44 --> 00:33:44

that.

00:33:45 --> 00:33:47

And somehow just focused on Allah subhanahu wa

00:33:47 --> 00:33:48

ta'ala.

00:33:48 --> 00:33:49

It's very difficult.

00:33:50 --> 00:33:53

So, with this, the way Allah subhanahu wa

00:33:53 --> 00:33:56

ta'ala explains it is, it's absolutely beautiful.

00:33:57 --> 00:33:59

Inna ashaabal jannatil yawma fee shughalin.

00:34:00 --> 00:34:01

Faaqihoon.

00:34:01 --> 00:34:04

That the people of paradise are occupied.

00:34:04 --> 00:34:06

What are they occupied with?

00:34:06 --> 00:34:07

Faaqihoon.

00:34:07 --> 00:34:09

They are enjoying themselves.

00:34:11 --> 00:34:13

Happily enjoying themselves.

00:34:14 --> 00:34:15

Faaqihoon.

00:34:16 --> 00:34:18

The word itself.

00:34:20 --> 00:34:21

Faaqihah means fruits.

00:34:22 --> 00:34:24

And normally you don't eat fruit for your

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

main meal.

00:34:25 --> 00:34:27

You do the meal, then you have the

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

fruits.

00:34:27 --> 00:34:28

It's afterwards.

00:34:28 --> 00:34:30

It's just the enjoyment aspect.

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

It just tells you.

00:34:31 --> 00:34:33

It's very difficult for this to be even

00:34:33 --> 00:34:34

explained in English.

00:34:35 --> 00:34:36

And it's a sad fact that we don't

00:34:36 --> 00:34:37

know Arabic.

00:34:38 --> 00:34:40

Because Muslims wherever they went before, they taught

00:34:40 --> 00:34:41

Arabic.

00:34:41 --> 00:34:42

They learned Arabic.

00:34:43 --> 00:34:44

You know, whether it was in Russia, or

00:34:44 --> 00:34:47

whether it was in Kazakhstan, you know, wherever.

00:34:48 --> 00:34:48

Uzbekistan.

00:34:48 --> 00:34:50

I mean, Bukhari came from there.

00:34:50 --> 00:34:52

And his book is in Arabic.

00:34:54 --> 00:34:55

Samarkandi's book is in Arabic.

00:34:57 --> 00:34:58

Ghazali's book is in Arabic.

00:34:58 --> 00:34:58

And he was Persian.

00:35:00 --> 00:35:01

Abu Hanifa was Persian.

00:35:01 --> 00:35:02

Rahimahullah.

00:35:02 --> 00:35:03

And it's all in Arabic.

00:35:05 --> 00:35:07

So, most of our greatest scholars are from

00:35:07 --> 00:35:07

those areas.

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

It's all in Arabic though.

00:35:08 --> 00:35:10

So, when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says

00:35:10 --> 00:35:13

this, that those people in paradise on that

00:35:13 --> 00:35:15

day, when the day to giving will, they

00:35:15 --> 00:35:18

will all be busy in the pleasures, in

00:35:18 --> 00:35:22

the bounties of paradise.

00:35:24 --> 00:35:28

And they will have absolutely no conscious about

00:35:28 --> 00:35:29

anybody in the hellfire.

00:35:29 --> 00:35:31

They won't be caring about anybody.

00:35:31 --> 00:35:32

They will be totally enjoying themselves.

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

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions their

00:35:35 --> 00:35:36

spouses.

00:35:36 --> 00:35:38

This could be the Hurul Ain.

00:35:39 --> 00:35:42

This could be their worldly spouses which will

00:35:42 --> 00:35:45

be made even more beautiful and more pleasurable

00:35:45 --> 00:35:45

for them.

00:35:46 --> 00:35:47

Both for the men and women.

00:35:48 --> 00:35:49

They will be eating and drinking.

00:35:50 --> 00:35:52

And they will be listening to beautiful sounds.

00:35:52 --> 00:35:54

Whatever that beautiful music of paradise is.

00:35:55 --> 00:35:57

Totally halal, beautiful music.

00:35:57 --> 00:36:00

That does not, you know, that doesn't bring

00:36:00 --> 00:36:02

the evil with it nowadays.

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

This will be beautiful.

00:36:03 --> 00:36:06

Just like this beautiful pure wine in paradise.

00:36:07 --> 00:36:08

However that is.

00:36:09 --> 00:36:12

Abu Hayyan says, the clear, the fact is

00:36:12 --> 00:36:13

that the occupation there is going to be

00:36:13 --> 00:36:14

pleasure.

00:36:15 --> 00:36:16

Your occupation is pleasure.

00:36:17 --> 00:36:19

Imagine finding a job like that.

00:36:20 --> 00:36:22

The only pleasurable job you can find, that

00:36:22 --> 00:36:23

will be haram.

00:36:25 --> 00:36:29

I remember some brother, I said, what do

00:36:29 --> 00:36:29

you do?

00:36:29 --> 00:36:31

He says, I go and play computer games.

00:36:32 --> 00:36:33

What do you mean?

00:36:33 --> 00:36:35

He says, yeah, we test them out.

00:36:35 --> 00:36:36

So we get all these games and we

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

have to write reviews.

00:36:37 --> 00:36:38

So we just play the computer games.

00:36:41 --> 00:36:42

But I mean, you know, you go around

00:36:42 --> 00:36:43

telling people, what's your job brother?

00:36:44 --> 00:36:45

Playing computer games.

00:36:46 --> 00:36:47

Eventually you probably get tired of that, wouldn't

00:36:47 --> 00:36:47

you?

00:36:49 --> 00:36:51

There has to be some substance in life.

00:36:52 --> 00:36:54

Subhanallah, people have tried to make paradise in

00:36:54 --> 00:36:55

this world.

00:36:56 --> 00:37:01

One of the former, one of the former

00:37:01 --> 00:37:05

leaders of Persia before it was called Iran,

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

Persia.

00:37:08 --> 00:37:13

He had a haram of concubines.

00:37:14 --> 00:37:16

He didn't come out of it for several

00:37:16 --> 00:37:17

years.

00:37:19 --> 00:37:21

He didn't come out of it for several

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

years.

00:37:22 --> 00:37:23

What is he trying to do?

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

Jannah?

00:37:24 --> 00:37:26

I'm sure you understand what I'm talking about.

00:37:27 --> 00:37:29

You know, various women from around the world.

00:37:30 --> 00:37:31

He didn't come out of it for several

00:37:31 --> 00:37:31

years.

00:37:32 --> 00:37:35

This was before, the one called Abbas, I

00:37:35 --> 00:37:36

think his name was.

00:37:37 --> 00:37:38

He brought things back too.

00:37:39 --> 00:37:40

There was one of them just totally.

00:37:40 --> 00:37:42

And there's not just one, there's others who

00:37:42 --> 00:37:43

have done these kind of things.

00:37:44 --> 00:37:44

Allah protect us.

00:37:45 --> 00:37:47

Because when people get wealthy, then they want

00:37:47 --> 00:37:48

to make this place Jannah.

00:37:48 --> 00:37:49

That's a normal thing.

00:37:49 --> 00:37:51

The more you have, the more Jannah you

00:37:51 --> 00:37:52

try to make this place.

00:37:52 --> 00:37:53

Because you can buy things.

00:37:54 --> 00:37:55

So you start making it a Jannah.

00:37:56 --> 00:37:58

They will not be told about the people

00:37:58 --> 00:37:58

in the hellfire.

00:37:58 --> 00:38:00

There will be nothing told to them that

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

will upset them.

00:38:03 --> 00:38:06

So, they are totally protected in this pleasure.

00:38:07 --> 00:38:09

They don't have to come back after it

00:38:09 --> 00:38:10

is going to end.

00:38:10 --> 00:38:11

It's just going to get better and better.

00:38:13 --> 00:38:14

They will be in these shades.

00:38:15 --> 00:38:17

Ara'ik, Fi Dhilalin.

00:38:18 --> 00:38:19

Dhilal, shade.

00:38:20 --> 00:38:22

Never, it's never too hot.

00:38:23 --> 00:38:26

Wait, wait for, we have to retreat in

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

the afternoon.

00:38:28 --> 00:38:29

There's always shade.

00:38:30 --> 00:38:32

See, nothing is perfect in this world, is

00:38:32 --> 00:38:32

it?

00:38:34 --> 00:38:35

Nothing is perfect.

00:38:35 --> 00:38:39

You want pomegranates, which is a fruit of

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

paradise as well.

00:38:40 --> 00:38:41

You have to peel it.

00:38:42 --> 00:38:43

You have to take them out.

00:38:44 --> 00:38:45

There's an effort behind it.

00:38:46 --> 00:38:47

And then you eat it.

00:38:50 --> 00:38:51

In everything, it's like that.

00:38:52 --> 00:38:53

Ala'l Ara'iki Muttaki.

00:38:53 --> 00:38:58

You will be relaxed, reclining, resting on special

00:38:58 --> 00:39:08

platforms, dioceses, some kind of special seating, just

00:39:08 --> 00:39:11

decorated in some of the best designs that

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

you could ever think of.

00:39:14 --> 00:39:16

I don't know if it's permissible to go

00:39:16 --> 00:39:22

and see all of these really elaborate palaces,

00:39:22 --> 00:39:24

just to remind you of paradise.

00:39:24 --> 00:39:25

I don't know if it's permissible to do

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

that.

00:39:27 --> 00:39:30

Because if we're not that wealthy, you're not

00:39:30 --> 00:39:31

gonna have these kind of things.

00:39:32 --> 00:39:33

But if you see how these things are

00:39:33 --> 00:39:34

done, it might remind you of paradise.

00:39:34 --> 00:39:36

But I don't know if it's permissible to

00:39:36 --> 00:39:37

go and see it for that reason.

00:39:38 --> 00:39:41

You know, like the Dolmabahce Palace in Istanbul,

00:39:41 --> 00:39:44

for example, or some of these other places.

00:39:45 --> 00:39:46

I don't know, Allah knows.

00:39:47 --> 00:39:48

Lahum feehaa faakihatun.

00:39:49 --> 00:39:51

In Jannah for them will be all different

00:39:51 --> 00:39:52

types of fruits.

00:39:52 --> 00:39:56

And faakihah, all different types of fruits that

00:39:56 --> 00:39:58

you could benefit from in this way.

00:39:58 --> 00:40:00

Wa lahum maa yadda'oon.

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

In it will be anything they call for.

00:40:02 --> 00:40:04

In it will be anything they wish for,

00:40:04 --> 00:40:05

that they desire.

00:40:05 --> 00:40:06

Maa yadda'oon.

00:40:06 --> 00:40:08

Anything they demand, they will get it.

00:40:09 --> 00:40:11

May Allah make us worthy of paradise.

00:40:11 --> 00:40:13

That's why Allah says, Wa feehaa maa tashtaheehi

00:40:13 --> 00:40:15

al-anfus, wa taladhul a'yun.

00:40:16 --> 00:40:17

In it will be those things that your

00:40:17 --> 00:40:23

nafs, your soul desires, and your eyes find

00:40:23 --> 00:40:24

beautiful.

00:40:25 --> 00:40:26

Wa lahum maa yadda'oon.

00:40:26 --> 00:40:28

Salaamun qawlam mir Rabbir raheem.

00:40:28 --> 00:40:31

And at the end, Salaamun qawlam mir Rabbir

00:40:31 --> 00:40:31

raheem.

00:40:31 --> 00:40:32

The main thing is that you can have

00:40:32 --> 00:40:33

all the pleasure that you want.

00:40:34 --> 00:40:35

But if you've got this feeling which will

00:40:35 --> 00:40:36

always be there at the back of your

00:40:36 --> 00:40:38

head, that I could be taken out of

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

this.

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

Then that spoils all the pleasure.

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

But when you're told, Salaamun, salaamun, peace, peace.

00:40:46 --> 00:40:47

You're reassured.

00:40:48 --> 00:40:50

It's not that you're just in, when you

00:40:50 --> 00:40:52

come in, you'll be told this.

00:40:52 --> 00:40:54

Salaamun qawlam mir Rabbir raheem.

00:40:54 --> 00:40:56

When you're told this, it gives you extra

00:40:56 --> 00:40:59

feeling of security, and extra pleasure.

00:41:01 --> 00:41:03

That's why Salaam, peace be upon you, is

00:41:03 --> 00:41:04

the word that they receive from the Merciful

00:41:04 --> 00:41:05

Lord.

00:41:05 --> 00:41:07

Salaamun qawlam mir Rabbir raheem.

00:41:07 --> 00:41:08

From the Merciful Lord.

00:41:08 --> 00:41:10

Here it's used, the word raheem is used.

00:41:11 --> 00:41:12

Raheem is used here.

00:41:13 --> 00:41:15

And they say raheem is because raheem, rahman,

00:41:15 --> 00:41:18

rahman is more general, in the sense that

00:41:18 --> 00:41:22

it encompasses compassion towards disbelieving people, and believing

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

people.

00:41:22 --> 00:41:24

Because in this world, Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:41:24 --> 00:41:26

'ala has compassion towards disbelieving people as well,

00:41:26 --> 00:41:27

in the sense that He provides for them

00:41:27 --> 00:41:28

as well.

00:41:28 --> 00:41:31

But raheem is specifically used for believers, and

00:41:31 --> 00:41:33

that is gonna be in the hereafter, because

00:41:33 --> 00:41:35

the disbelievers will not have compassion.

00:41:36 --> 00:41:39

So Salaamun qawlam mir Rabbir raheem is mentioned

00:41:39 --> 00:41:40

here, not rahman.

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

And thus, they will look at Allah subhanahu

00:41:43 --> 00:41:45

wa ta'ala, so this is where Allah

00:41:45 --> 00:41:46

subhanahu wa ta'ala will show Himself.

00:41:47 --> 00:41:49

That will be a greater pleasure than anything

00:41:49 --> 00:41:51

that they've been experiencing until now.

00:41:51 --> 00:41:52

He will look at them and they will

00:41:52 --> 00:41:53

look at Him.

00:41:53 --> 00:41:57

And then, when that happens, they will be

00:41:57 --> 00:42:03

totally occupied in looking at Allah subhanahu wa

00:42:03 --> 00:42:04

ta'ala, and they will, all of these

00:42:04 --> 00:42:07

beautiful things that we just described, they won't

00:42:07 --> 00:42:09

even turn around to them anymore.

00:42:10 --> 00:42:12

When Allah manifests, it won't be a permanent

00:42:12 --> 00:42:15

thing, but when He does, people will start

00:42:15 --> 00:42:17

to look at Him, and they will become

00:42:17 --> 00:42:18

totally absorbed.

00:42:19 --> 00:42:20

He is the creator of all of these

00:42:20 --> 00:42:21

things.

00:42:22 --> 00:42:24

And then, He will veil Himself again.

00:42:26 --> 00:42:30

But the Noor, and His Barakah, the blessing

00:42:30 --> 00:42:34

of that sight, will remain in their homes,

00:42:34 --> 00:42:37

or in their places, and they will be

00:42:37 --> 00:42:38

better off than they were before.

00:42:39 --> 00:42:41

And thus, as we read earlier, as we

00:42:41 --> 00:42:43

discussed earlier, they will come back more beautiful.

00:42:44 --> 00:42:46

Each spouse will say to the other, Hey,

00:42:46 --> 00:42:47

you're more beautiful.

00:42:48 --> 00:42:52

Now, with this short description of Paradise, because

00:42:52 --> 00:42:55

the main function of this Surah is to

00:42:55 --> 00:42:58

warn, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala goes back.

00:42:58 --> 00:43:02

That after giving this peak into Paradise and

00:43:02 --> 00:43:05

its pleasures, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,

00:43:05 --> 00:43:13

وَامْتَازُ الْيَوْمَ أَيُّهَا الْمُجْرِمُونَ وَامْتَازُ الْيَوْمَ أَيُّهَا

00:43:13 --> 00:43:19

الْمُجْرِمُونَ أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ أَلَّا

00:43:19 --> 00:43:29

تَعْبُدُ الشَّيْطَانِ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ وَأَنِ اعْبُدُونِي

00:43:29 --> 00:43:37

هَذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ وَلَقَدْ أَضَلَّ مِنْكُمْ جِبِلًا كَثِيرًا

00:43:37 --> 00:43:47

أَفَلَمْ تَكُونُوا تَعْقِلُونَ هَذِهِ جَهَنَّبٌ لَتِي كُنتُمْ تُوْعَدُونَ

00:43:47 --> 00:43:55

إِصْلَوْهَا الْيَوْمَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ الْيَوْمَ نَخْتِمُ عَلَىٰ

00:43:55 --> 00:44:04

أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتُكَلِّمُنَا أَيْدِيهِمْ وَتَشْهَدُ أَرْجُلُهُم

00:44:04 --> 00:44:13

بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ وَلَوْنَ شَاءُ لَطَمَسْنَا عَلَىٰ أَعْيُنِهِمْ

00:44:13 --> 00:44:22

فَاسْتَبَقُوا الصِّرَاطَ فَأَنَّا يُبْصِرُونَ And continues with that,

00:44:22 --> 00:44:24

what this means is Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:44:24 --> 00:44:28

'ala says after talking about paradise in this

00:44:28 --> 00:44:31

beautiful way, He says And it is said

00:44:31 --> 00:44:35

to the infidels, become apart from the believers

00:44:35 --> 00:44:36

today.

00:44:37 --> 00:44:40

Separate yourself, you guys shouldn't be here.

00:44:41 --> 00:44:42

You guys move out.

00:44:43 --> 00:44:47

So, separate yourself from the believers today, oh

00:44:47 --> 00:44:48

guilty ones.

00:44:48 --> 00:44:50

Did I not direct you, oh children of

00:44:50 --> 00:44:53

Adam, that you must not worship the shaitan

00:44:53 --> 00:44:56

because he is an open enemy for you

00:44:56 --> 00:44:58

and that you must worship me because this

00:44:58 --> 00:45:00

is the straight path.

00:45:01 --> 00:45:06

He has misguided many people from among you.

00:45:06 --> 00:45:09

Many people from among you.

00:45:09 --> 00:45:11

So, did you not have any sense?

00:45:13 --> 00:45:16

Now, this is the Jahannam of which you

00:45:16 --> 00:45:17

are constantly warned.

00:45:17 --> 00:45:21

Enter it today because you have been persistently

00:45:21 --> 00:45:22

denying the truth.

00:45:22 --> 00:45:25

Today, we will set a seal on their

00:45:25 --> 00:45:27

mouths and their hands will speak to us

00:45:27 --> 00:45:29

and their legs will bear witness about what

00:45:29 --> 00:45:30

they used to do.

00:45:30 --> 00:45:33

If we so will, we would wipe out

00:45:33 --> 00:45:35

their eyes right here in this world and

00:45:35 --> 00:45:37

they would be racing towards the way, but

00:45:37 --> 00:45:38

how would they see?

00:45:39 --> 00:45:41

And if we so will, we could disfigure

00:45:41 --> 00:45:43

them at their places and they would not

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

be able to move nor would they return.

00:45:47 --> 00:45:50

وَمْتَازُ الْيَوْمِ امتياز means to distinguish.

00:45:50 --> 00:45:53

Today, you separate yourself.

00:45:53 --> 00:45:54

Now, think about it.

00:45:55 --> 00:45:59

You're in a state where you're not sure

00:45:59 --> 00:46:00

if you're successful or not.

00:46:01 --> 00:46:02

So, you try to stick to the people

00:46:02 --> 00:46:05

who are definitely successful and you're hoping that

00:46:05 --> 00:46:06

you can just slip through.

00:46:07 --> 00:46:09

And then it's made, no, you guys, you

00:46:09 --> 00:46:10

shouldn't be here.

00:46:10 --> 00:46:11

Separate yourself.

00:46:11 --> 00:46:14

Those who have not succeeded, separate yourself.

00:46:14 --> 00:46:16

Those who don't have a ticket, we're going

00:46:16 --> 00:46:17

to come and check it right now.

00:46:18 --> 00:46:20

The inspector comes on the bus.

00:46:21 --> 00:46:22

Put up your tickets.

00:46:22 --> 00:46:23

Look at the feeling of dread.

00:46:25 --> 00:46:26

But then there's going to be a smooth

00:46:26 --> 00:46:28

criminal in there somewhere who's done it all

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

the time.

00:46:28 --> 00:46:29

He knows how to do it.

00:46:30 --> 00:46:33

Hide, I don't know, pull somebody out.

00:46:33 --> 00:46:34

You know, there's some swindled people.

00:46:34 --> 00:46:35

But on that day, none of that will

00:46:35 --> 00:46:36

work.

00:46:36 --> 00:46:38

It doesn't matter if you're a con man

00:46:38 --> 00:46:39

or whatever you may be.

00:46:39 --> 00:46:41

It doesn't matter what you are.

00:46:41 --> 00:46:43

When this announcement will be made, imagine the

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

dread and the terror that will come upon

00:46:46 --> 00:46:47

the people.

00:46:49 --> 00:46:56

And that's why, Oh criminals, you become separate

00:46:56 --> 00:46:56

today.

00:47:01 --> 00:47:06

Did we not make it, did we not

00:47:06 --> 00:47:07

direct you?

00:47:08 --> 00:47:09

Did we not make a covenant with you?

00:47:09 --> 00:47:12

Did we not impress upon you that you

00:47:12 --> 00:47:13

should not worship the shaitan?

00:47:14 --> 00:47:16

You know this when he says, separate.

00:47:18 --> 00:47:20

Separate from my believers.

00:47:21 --> 00:47:23

So it's this feeling that they are loved

00:47:23 --> 00:47:26

by Allah and we're not loved by Allah.

00:47:27 --> 00:47:29

You know, subhanAllah, the thing is this that

00:47:30 --> 00:47:32

a person is told, you have to be

00:47:32 --> 00:47:33

here.

00:47:33 --> 00:47:34

We still love you, but you have to

00:47:34 --> 00:47:35

be here.

00:47:35 --> 00:47:40

That's a lot more softer than the feeling

00:47:40 --> 00:47:41

that we're not even loved.

00:47:42 --> 00:47:46

Because ayyuhal mujrimoon, very clearly, ayyuhal mujrimoon, mujrim,

00:47:46 --> 00:47:48

the person who has done the wrong.

00:47:49 --> 00:47:52

So now, saying, oh Bani Adam, oh children

00:47:52 --> 00:47:55

of Adam, didn't we impress upon you and

00:47:55 --> 00:47:58

counsel you and remind you that you should

00:47:58 --> 00:47:59

not worship the shaitan?

00:48:01 --> 00:48:05

In all of these things that has called

00:48:05 --> 00:48:07

you and caused you to disobey me.

00:48:07 --> 00:48:10

He's been innahu lakum aduwwun mubeen, he's your

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

clear enemy.

00:48:12 --> 00:48:13

And you know this from your history because

00:48:13 --> 00:48:15

you know what people of the past have

00:48:15 --> 00:48:15

done.

00:48:17 --> 00:48:20

Wani'buduni, and that you worship me, I've

00:48:20 --> 00:48:23

told you to worship me, to declare my

00:48:23 --> 00:48:26

oneness, to be obedient to me, to worship

00:48:26 --> 00:48:26

me.

00:48:26 --> 00:48:30

This was the clear way, this was the

00:48:30 --> 00:48:30

straight path.

00:48:31 --> 00:48:36

The saheedeen, meaning the correct religion and the

00:48:36 --> 00:48:36

rightful truth.

00:48:39 --> 00:48:43

He has misguided lots of people before you.

00:48:43 --> 00:48:45

He has misguided many people before you.

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

So how were you taken into his deception

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

if that was the case?

00:48:52 --> 00:48:55

Did you not have an intellect?

00:48:55 --> 00:48:57

Didn't you use your intellect?

00:48:57 --> 00:49:01

Didn't you reason that this is what shaitan

00:49:01 --> 00:49:02

will do to you?

00:49:04 --> 00:49:06

So now this is the Jahannam which you

00:49:06 --> 00:49:07

used to be warned about.

00:49:08 --> 00:49:09

Which you used to be warned about, this

00:49:09 --> 00:49:10

is the Jahannam for you now.

00:49:13 --> 00:49:15

Now this is going to be said to

00:49:15 --> 00:49:18

them when they are right at the edge

00:49:18 --> 00:49:19

of Jahannam.

00:49:19 --> 00:49:21

They're not in it yet, but they're right

00:49:21 --> 00:49:23

at the edge and they can hear the

00:49:23 --> 00:49:23

roars and everything.

00:49:23 --> 00:49:25

And then this is robbed into them that

00:49:25 --> 00:49:27

this is the Jahannam for you.

00:49:28 --> 00:49:29

Because of the kufr that you had in

00:49:29 --> 00:49:31

this world, because of the way you used

00:49:31 --> 00:49:33

to disrespect and humiliate others.

00:49:37 --> 00:49:40

As mentioned in another place now, taste this.

00:49:42 --> 00:49:46

Now what will happen is that there will

00:49:46 --> 00:49:48

be some people who will think they're smart

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

on that day.

00:49:51 --> 00:49:54

Because it seems like although there's going to

00:49:54 --> 00:49:58

be many witnesses, when the initial witnesses come

00:49:58 --> 00:50:00

by, they will try to deny it.

00:50:01 --> 00:50:04

Eventually they will confess, but initially they will

00:50:04 --> 00:50:06

deny from the first witness until they start

00:50:06 --> 00:50:08

seeing it pile up.

00:50:08 --> 00:50:11

So what will happen is Imam Ibn Jalil

00:50:11 --> 00:50:14

At-Tabari, one of the earliest Mufassireen, whose

00:50:14 --> 00:50:15

book still survives.

00:50:15 --> 00:50:17

He relates from Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari,

00:50:17 --> 00:50:24

he says that, A kafir, a disbeliever and

00:50:24 --> 00:50:26

a hypocrite will be called on the day

00:50:26 --> 00:50:29

of judgement for hisaab, for accounting, reckoning.

00:50:30 --> 00:50:32

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will present in

00:50:32 --> 00:50:34

front of him his actions that these are

00:50:34 --> 00:50:35

what you did, he will deny them.

00:50:37 --> 00:50:39

He presents this is what you did, this

00:50:39 --> 00:50:41

is what you did, he'll deny them.

00:50:42 --> 00:50:43

I didn't do this.

00:50:44 --> 00:50:53

He'll say, Some of the worldly tendencies, some

00:50:53 --> 00:50:54

of the worldly arguments.

00:50:54 --> 00:50:59

He'll say, O Lord, by your might, this

00:50:59 --> 00:51:02

angel has written against me something I haven't

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

done.

00:51:03 --> 00:51:07

This angel is writing something against me that

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

I haven't done.

00:51:09 --> 00:51:15

So, the angel will say, Didn't you do

00:51:15 --> 00:51:15

this on that day?

00:51:18 --> 00:51:19

In that place?

00:51:19 --> 00:51:25

He'll say, No, by your might, O Allah,

00:51:25 --> 00:51:26

I didn't do any of this.

00:51:28 --> 00:51:30

Now, he said what he had to say.

00:51:31 --> 00:51:33

When he does that, his mouth will be

00:51:33 --> 00:51:33

sealed.

00:51:35 --> 00:51:36

Right?

00:51:36 --> 00:51:37

The mouth will be sealed.

00:51:40 --> 00:51:41

What will begin to speak?

00:51:42 --> 00:51:42

His limbs.

00:51:43 --> 00:51:44

Who was he defending until now?

00:51:45 --> 00:51:45

His limbs.

00:51:46 --> 00:51:48

He's defending his body because the punishment is

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

going to be on his body.

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

He's defending his body, mouth is sealed, the

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

limbs begin to speak.

00:51:54 --> 00:51:58

That's why Allah says, We'll put a seal

00:51:58 --> 00:51:59

on their mouth.

00:52:01 --> 00:52:03

And, so the Prophet ﷺ read this.

00:52:04 --> 00:52:07

Then, in the hadith it says, The person

00:52:07 --> 00:52:08

will say to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:52:08 --> 00:52:11

that, Wouldn't you protect me from oppression today?

00:52:12 --> 00:52:14

You will get some of these smart people,

00:52:15 --> 00:52:17

the so-called smart people in the hereafter.

00:52:17 --> 00:52:20

They'll say, won't you protect me and safeguard

00:52:20 --> 00:52:22

me from oppression?

00:52:23 --> 00:52:24

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, of

00:52:24 --> 00:52:25

course, I will.

00:52:25 --> 00:52:29

So he'll say, I'm not going to agree

00:52:29 --> 00:52:31

with any witness against me except from myself.

00:52:32 --> 00:52:34

I don't care anybody says anything.

00:52:34 --> 00:52:36

I'm not going to agree to anything except

00:52:36 --> 00:52:36

myself.

00:52:37 --> 00:52:38

Fine.

00:52:39 --> 00:52:47

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, You yourself

00:52:47 --> 00:52:49

will be sufficient witness against yourself.

00:52:50 --> 00:52:51

This is not all a joke.

00:52:56 --> 00:52:59

And there's the noble writers, they are witnesses

00:52:59 --> 00:53:00

against you.

00:53:00 --> 00:53:01

And then his mouth will be sealed.

00:53:02 --> 00:53:05

And then it will be said, his limbs

00:53:05 --> 00:53:08

will be addressed and say, Speak.

00:53:11 --> 00:53:14

The limbs will begin to pour out every

00:53:14 --> 00:53:16

single deed that they did with the hands.

00:53:16 --> 00:53:17

He did this with my finger, he did

00:53:17 --> 00:53:19

this with my hand, with the feet.

00:53:19 --> 00:53:20

The feet will say, he did this with

00:53:20 --> 00:53:22

me, the eyes and all the limbs.

00:53:22 --> 00:53:26

And then he'll be left to hear that.

00:53:26 --> 00:53:28

His limbs speaking, his mouth not being able

00:53:28 --> 00:53:29

to say.

00:53:30 --> 00:53:38

And he will be saying, Woe be upon

00:53:38 --> 00:53:40

you, destruction be upon you.

00:53:40 --> 00:53:42

I was trying to defend you and you're

00:53:42 --> 00:53:43

taking us to destruction.

00:53:44 --> 00:53:45

May Allah protect us.

00:53:45 --> 00:53:49

May Allah preserve our limbs, our hands from

00:53:49 --> 00:53:52

touching, our eyes from looking, our ears from

00:53:52 --> 00:53:54

listening, our feet from advancing.

00:53:54 --> 00:53:57

May Allah protect our whole body, put Noor

00:53:57 --> 00:53:59

before us, behind us, within us.

00:53:59 --> 00:54:01

So we're protected from this.

00:54:01 --> 00:54:02

That's why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says

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

this.

00:54:03 --> 00:54:12

Then finally, the next verse, Allah subhanahu wa

00:54:12 --> 00:54:13

ta'ala speaks about his power in this

00:54:13 --> 00:54:13

world.

00:54:14 --> 00:54:17

He said, if we willed, if we willed,

00:54:18 --> 00:54:21

we could just cover their eyes.

00:54:22 --> 00:54:24

We could take away their sight.

00:54:25 --> 00:54:26

In this world.

00:54:28 --> 00:54:30

Today, we could wipe out their eyes.

00:54:31 --> 00:54:32

Right here in this world.

00:54:32 --> 00:54:34

And they would be racing towards the way,

00:54:34 --> 00:54:35

but they would not be able to see.

00:54:35 --> 00:54:37

And if we so will, we could disfigure

00:54:37 --> 00:54:37

them.

00:54:38 --> 00:54:40

We'll cover this in a bit more detail,

00:54:40 --> 00:54:42

inshaAllah, in our next, which will be the

00:54:42 --> 00:54:45

final, inshaAllah, the final session of this, which

00:54:45 --> 00:54:48

will be finishing the surah, inshaAllah, next time.

00:54:49 --> 00:54:53

But just to finish this off, what Ibn

00:54:53 --> 00:54:57

Abbas says, is that if we wanted, we

00:54:57 --> 00:55:01

could, because of these kind of sins that

00:55:01 --> 00:55:02

they commit in the world, now coming back

00:55:02 --> 00:55:05

to this world, these statements that they make,

00:55:05 --> 00:55:07

like Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, if he

00:55:07 --> 00:55:08

had wanted, he could have made them rich.

00:55:08 --> 00:55:10

He could have given them food.

00:55:10 --> 00:55:11

Why do we have to give them?

00:55:11 --> 00:55:12

If he wanted, we could make them blind

00:55:12 --> 00:55:13

in this world.

00:55:13 --> 00:55:14

They can't see anything then.

00:55:15 --> 00:55:16

Or if he wanted, we could make them

00:55:16 --> 00:55:17

blind of the truth completely.

00:55:18 --> 00:55:20

Right now, he's trying to say from here

00:55:20 --> 00:55:21

that you still got an opening.

00:55:22 --> 00:55:23

You are blind of the truth.

00:55:23 --> 00:55:24

You're not seeing and that's why you're saying

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

these things.

00:55:25 --> 00:55:26

But you can still change.

00:55:26 --> 00:55:27

But if we wanted, we could make you

00:55:27 --> 00:55:29

completely blind for permanently.

00:55:29 --> 00:55:30

Blind from the truth.

00:55:30 --> 00:55:31

So you will never see the truth.

00:55:31 --> 00:55:33

And that's why you will definitely go to

00:55:33 --> 00:55:33

these.

00:55:33 --> 00:55:36

That's why there are certain actions, which if

00:55:36 --> 00:55:38

a person does, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:55:38 --> 00:55:39

does seal the heart.

00:55:40 --> 00:55:41

But that's because of the actions that the

00:55:41 --> 00:55:42

person has committed.

00:55:42 --> 00:55:44

There's nobody that comes into this world and

00:55:44 --> 00:55:45

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, I put

00:55:45 --> 00:55:46

a seal on this guy's heart.

00:55:47 --> 00:55:48

He's never going to become good.

00:55:49 --> 00:55:52

Because that would apparently not be fair in

00:55:52 --> 00:55:53

the worldly sense of things.

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

A person is created neutral.

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

But when we commit certain sins, for example,

00:55:59 --> 00:56:02

they say drinking alcohol prevents a person from

00:56:02 --> 00:56:04

saying the kalima at the deathbed.

00:56:05 --> 00:56:08

Blasphemy, saying these weird things about Allah subhanahu

00:56:08 --> 00:56:09

wa ta'ala, even if you've got belief

00:56:09 --> 00:56:11

in your heart, Allah gets very angry.

00:56:11 --> 00:56:13

Another thing, for example, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:56:13 --> 00:56:14

wa sallam said, whoever misses three Jumu'ahs

00:56:14 --> 00:56:17

consecutively, thinking light of them.

00:56:18 --> 00:56:19

So there are these conditions.

00:56:20 --> 00:56:23

Because if a person misses Jumu'ah because

00:56:23 --> 00:56:25

he wasn't by a masjid, because he works

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

out in the fields.

00:56:26 --> 00:56:28

No, this is taking it lightly.

00:56:28 --> 00:56:29

I don't really need to go Jumu'ah.

00:56:30 --> 00:56:31

So he misses it because of a meeting.

00:56:31 --> 00:56:33

He doesn't schedule his meetings properly or whatever

00:56:33 --> 00:56:34

the case is.

00:56:34 --> 00:56:34

Takes it lightly.

00:56:35 --> 00:56:37

It doesn't say a person will become kafir.

00:56:37 --> 00:56:39

But it says a person's heart will be

00:56:39 --> 00:56:40

sealed.

00:56:40 --> 00:56:42

And a person's heart sealed, what happens?

00:56:42 --> 00:56:43

No tawfiq comes in.

00:56:44 --> 00:56:45

So eventually, it's going to lead to kufr

00:56:45 --> 00:56:46

anyway.

00:56:47 --> 00:56:48

And that's the danger of these things.

00:56:48 --> 00:56:50

May Allah protect us from such actions.

00:56:50 --> 00:56:52

The sins that we do, may Allah give

00:56:52 --> 00:56:54

us tawfiq to seek forgiveness and prevent us

00:56:54 --> 00:56:57

from any of these sins, especially those sins

00:56:57 --> 00:56:59

which destroy a person.

00:57:01 --> 00:57:03

And so the person will never see the

00:57:03 --> 00:57:03

truth like that.

00:57:04 --> 00:57:05

This is warning to the Quraish.

00:57:05 --> 00:57:06

You still got a chance.

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

You still got a chance.

00:57:07 --> 00:57:09

If you carry on like this, your hearts

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

will be sealed.

00:57:10 --> 00:57:12

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala protect us.

00:57:12 --> 00:57:14

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give us

00:57:14 --> 00:57:16

the tawfiq to take ibrah from this surah,

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

to recite it every day.

00:57:18 --> 00:57:20

To recite it every day and gain the

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

barakah of it.

00:57:43 --> 00:57:45

O Allah, safeguard us from the hellfire.

00:57:45 --> 00:57:47

O Allah, safeguard us from all of those

00:57:47 --> 00:57:50

actions that take people to the hellfire.

00:57:50 --> 00:57:52

O Allah, those sins that we've committed in

00:57:52 --> 00:57:55

the past that have really angered you, O

00:57:55 --> 00:57:57

Allah, protect us and forgive us.

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

O Allah, wipe those sins clean.

00:58:00 --> 00:58:02

O Allah, all those sins that we remember

00:58:02 --> 00:58:03

that we do not remember, the major ones,

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

the minor ones, those we did absentmindedly, those

00:58:06 --> 00:58:11

we did purposely, O Allah, being the most

00:58:11 --> 00:58:13

merciful one, grant us your mercy and forgive

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

us from these sins.

00:58:14 --> 00:58:16

O Allah, grant us a place in Jannatul

00:58:16 --> 00:58:18

Firdaus and make it easy for us.

00:58:18 --> 00:58:19

Make it easy for us in this world

00:58:19 --> 00:58:22

to work towards Jannatul Firdaus and to do

00:58:22 --> 00:58:24

the actions of the people of paradise and

00:58:24 --> 00:58:25

to call other people towards that and give

00:58:25 --> 00:58:27

us success in our calling others and inviting

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

others.

00:58:28 --> 00:58:31

سُبْحَانَا رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَوْصِفُونَ وَسَلَامٌ عَنَ

00:58:31 --> 00:58:34

الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ The point of

00:58:34 --> 00:58:37

a lecture is to encourage people to act,

00:58:37 --> 00:58:42

to get further, an inspiration, an encouragement, persuasion.

00:58:43 --> 00:58:45

The next step is to actually start learning

00:58:45 --> 00:58:48

seriously, to read books, to take on a

00:58:48 --> 00:58:50

subject of Islam and to understand all the

00:58:50 --> 00:58:52

subjects of Islam at least at their basic

00:58:52 --> 00:58:54

level so that we can become more aware

00:58:54 --> 00:58:55

of what our deen wants from us.

00:58:55 --> 00:58:59

And that's why we started Rayyan Courses so

00:58:59 --> 00:59:03

that you can actually take organized lectures on

00:59:03 --> 00:59:05

demand whenever you have free time, especially for

00:59:05 --> 00:59:09

example the Islamic Essentials course that we have

00:59:09 --> 00:59:11

on there, the Islamic Essentials Certificate which you

00:59:11 --> 00:59:15

take 20 short modules and at the end

00:59:15 --> 00:59:18

of that inshallah you will have gotten the

00:59:18 --> 00:59:21

basics of most of the most important topics

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

in Islam and you'll feel a lot more

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

confident.

00:59:23 --> 00:59:24

You don't have to leave lectures behind, you

00:59:24 --> 00:59:28

can continue to listen to lectures, but you

00:59:28 --> 00:59:30

need to have this more sustained study as

00:59:30 --> 00:59:30

well.

00:59:30 --> 00:59:33

JazakAllah Khair Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
