Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah lino sabe Ashmolean. All Praise and thanks belongs to Allah subhanahu wata Anna. And may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon His servant and final messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as to what follows My dear respected Brothers and Sisters in Islam as Salaam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Tonight we continue with the second vicar, which comes after Airtel, kursi. And we said that is Al more with that, and we said that Elmo, we that refers to solitary loss or Swallowtail, falak, or saltiness. And today, we are with the first of the MA with attain, which is similar to falak that's the first of the MA with attain. Now we're going to speak first about some of its virtues
of Solothurn falak and solidness together because their virtues come together.
In the first one, this is a Hadith in Sahih Muslim that awkward no emeralds Yo Honey, all the Allahu Anhu narrated and he said that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Allah I'm Tara I ad on Zillow at Laila lamb, you're on the Hoonah top and there is Allahu alayhi wa sallam, out of amazement and shock. He said such words to me, I'm Robbie, Allah one he said to him, Have you not seen the verses Allah azza wa jal revealed to me in the night, this alum Thoreau it implies shock and amazement. He's excited in the recent Allahu alayhi wa sallam. He's saying to him, Have you not seen and heard of the ayat that Allah azza wa jal revealed to me in the night.
And then he said, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the likes of which has never ever been seen before. He's a unique, incredible ad. They are allowed to build build falak
bananas for Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was excited when these eight and these two SWAT were revealed and we're going to speak about their relevance and the importance in the life of a Muslim. And then you'll understand why we're reading them three times in the morning three times in the evening, once after every solid and three times before you sleep.
The second virtue in Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam it was narrated, that he used to seek refuge in Allah from the jinn and from the evil eye. Initially at the beginning, he used to seek Allah's protection from Elgin and from the evil eye by making dua, and all the time the diet would change. He used to make words into form, and he would seek Allah's protection from Elgin and the evil eye. The narration says heptane as a little more with a 10. Until the more with a 10. Robin fella pulled out all the bananas were revealed. Once they were revealed, I will say the whole thing he says in this duration, further manners, Elata ahava behemoth, whatever, I can see where who met, when they
were revealed, he would make use of them, and he abandoned everything else. Everything else he used to seek Allah's protection with from Elgin and from evils, he left the rollout, and he would only now use solar 10 falak or solar UNECE
This is Subhanallah
the one who complains about the evil I will Jin and harms and evils he's the solution. And if you want to sell them abandoned everything, and only stuck to these for the rest of his life and taught us so
there's another Hadith concerning its virtue.
The Allahu Anhu he says the beautiful soul Allah allah sallallahu alayhi wa salam O Allah keep wanting to, for y'all to hear the academy, opened Mohammed he says I was riding behind the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he put his hands on the legs of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to keep perhaps himself balanced on the on the animal that they were on for call to the Nakba sector. Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Ya rasool Allah acurately imam in Surah T who didn't or imam in Surah Yusuf, he said, O Messenger of Allah. Can you read to me? Solitude or Surah Yusuf? Now he's he's requesting from him to read something from these to swap in order to seek
protection. Seeking Allah azza wa jal is protection through some aid of solitude and solid use of
so then maybe sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
in the calendar
the il Allah He Tiana Well, I believe are in the home and
he said to me,
he said team the most beloved
and complete and greatest Surah that you will read whenever seeking Allah's protection from the evil eye and other types of harms would be similar to falak. And in other generations solid the nurse alongside with that, when a reasonable Allahu alayhi wa sallam said to him for any stomata Allah Foodtech I feel solid in 500 If you're able to read it in the prayer, then do so. When the visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam it has been narrated, that he would recite this to swat he recited it in solid fissure. In the first Tanaka and I will be robbing falak in the next dollar car, pulled out of Europe bananas
for see this journey. Subhanallah What's incredible is that, look how great our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is, he was so concerned for the Sahaba and for his ummah, that he would always give them the best advice possible. You see, he said to Rasul Allah read something from solitude or something from solitude of whenever you sallallahu alayhi wa sallam could have read some of this and some of that, but he directed him and he advised him to that which is the best. And he said to him, the best, most beloved, complete and greatest Surah that will offer you the protection of Allah azza wa jal when you're seeking His protection, would be Alma with a 10. And he said to him, If I'll do
so, and read that, what about the Allah who would now commit to this advice of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
And one more Hadith concerning the virtue of these two swore and that is again, awkward. No, I'm a robbery Allahu Anhu. He says the Nama and b&m and assume Arasu delay and sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they know you're fit well above what? He said as I was traveling with the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and we reached an area between a Jaffa and a boy. These are two cities in the Arabian Peninsula in Saudi next to Makkah. He says as we were traveling, if Russia Canary Wharf in Mattoon, Shalida all of a sudden, a wind and an intense darkness enveloped us. The weather changed, it became very dark, stormy, and it was very windy. Then in the V sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam began yet that was he began to seek Allah's protection. Be Bill Philip
binaires He began to seek Allah's protection with these two songs. And then he said to Akbar, Allahu Allahu anhu, he said, they are Akbar, thou was the man that out with a motor with them before Him. And He said to him, when you are seeking the protection of Allah, you're seeking protection from harms and evils and from anything that can hurt you. He said, them seek Allah's protection with these two swords, for no one can use anything else that would compare to them. For this purpose, the purpose of seeking Allah azza wa jal is protection. were added in this narration that I heard the NABI sallallahu alayhi wa sallam read these swop when he led the people in pray for that's
concerning its virtues. And you get the ID and the image that whenever you're engaging in the act of Alistair either the best possible thing you can ever say an attack when seeking Allah's protection would be from Allah's word from the Quran, and that is pulled out of the robin Fennec pulled out of business.
Now, we move on to solar develop, let's discuss something about its placement. And the difference between alpha luck oneness. You see the surah before was similar to a clause. That's what you read first thing in the morning, three times. Once you move on
to certain falak you still need to remember that sort of the loss was about your Eman in Allah. It was about the Oneness of Allah has ocean, right this is what solar teleclass was about. When you move on to small little fella or solar Xs. Now you're being told that this the heat and Eman inside of you could be damaged by external harms and internal humps, swallowtail falak. Now you're seeking Allah's protection from external harms, harms that are outside and we'll go through them one after the other. Also with the nurse, you're seeking Allah's protection from an internal harm, and that is Alice was her nurse 11 years we Sophie used to do the nurse phase and that's the placement and the
arrangement of the swap. There is a loss and then to sort of come after to tell you you need to be careful history that is in your heart could be damaged.
If you do not seek Allah's protection from external harms, and internal harms
Solothurn falak. My Brothers and Sisters in Islam is made up of five iron.
And the central theme and the message of the solar is to teach us that we are in continuous need of the protection of Allah azza wa jal generally from all types of evils that he created, Michelle did the math on up. And then more specifically, from the evils of the night in Shangri La sipping is our cup more specifically from the evil of the magician swimming shattering the feather the Fill rocket, and from the evil of the envia woman Shirley has hidden either hazard.
And so in other words, any kind of evil a person is afflicted with these two swabs or a treatment for it and protection from it. Now what is the relationship of solid Alpha luck with so little if lost that came before it? Listen to this very carefully. Number one.
swallowtail if loss was about the complete praise of Allah, by affirming the most perfect names and attributes for Allah, right Allahu Allahu Sumit and also by disassociating, from him all types of imperfections and flows. Let me any dwelling unit will make hula hoop that will soften this loss. Now contrary to this, Swallowtail, falak and UNECE, are about our weakness, our incompleteness, our imperfection
and that we are continuously in need of Allah azza wa jal is protection from all the evils in the humps. And if we don't have Allah's protection, we will definitely be harmed not only our physical bodies, but also our Eman will be damaged. Isn't this is a beautiful relationship, sort of thing a class about the perfection of Allah saw little fella coldness about our weakness, our imperfection and that we are always in need of Allah who Allah had a solid, the second relationship, solid loss, there was Allahu Samad within that swallow. And we remember and we all remember that a solid means that we are in need of Allah azza wa jal and he is not in need of us. So then Surah Al Falah came to
explain our desperate need of Allah azza wa jal. And one of the greatest needs we have in this life that can only be given to you by Allah is protection from evils and harms. From Allah will Summit, Allah Assad, we desperately need him, he doesn't need us. And one of the greatest things we need from him is to continuously protect us from all types of evils, and all types of harms. And the third, and the last
relationship I share with you is this.
Pay attention. This is all important because as you're reading the sore in the morning, and in the afternoon, you need to be reflecting as to why I'm reading him three times, our deen make sense.
And the biggest problem with people and youth today, when they turn away from the teachings of Allah and His Messenger, most of the times it's because I don't understand it. He doesn't understand what he's reading. Right? And this could cause a problem, it could cause a serious issue. And you know, subhanAllah on this occasion, you know, today, Heather Salman Rushdie was stabbed today multiple times in New York before he gave a presentation. He didn't even have the time to do so. But this person
Yanni has this belief that Allah azza wa jal and in His messenger, and he wrote a book, he called it The Satanic Verses. He refers to the Quran as being the words of the shape on Mars Allah. But he has a story that he mentioned. When he was in India. He says in one of his clips, he said, I was in India, and I grew up with my father. And my father used to take me to select the eight his father used to take him to the Eat, Pray. And he said, I used to go to the Eat, Pray. And I told my father, what am I doing here? So his father would say to him, Son, just do what I'm doing, follow what I'm doing. And then he goes, Oh, we're doing his actions up, down, going back down, coming back up. And
he said 97% of the Indian population has no clue what Arabic is. They don't understand Arabic. And the Habib is speaking in Arabic, and the Salah is all in Arabic. And I had no clue what was happening. He said, I believe that Islam was a false religion from the age of nine or the age of 10. Hello, this is his ignorance. He related his cover, and he gave explanation to his cover because he didn't understand anything in Islam. Subhan Allah, and he never made an attempt after this, to ever understand what was happening. How silly is is you leave Islam because you didn't understand it all
You didn't even make an attempt to understand it felt Hamdulillah that he exposed himself. He exposed himself. And this kind of explanation doesn't work. No, of course you need to seek the knowledge. You need to learn what you're doing. So to avoid something like this, it is always important for a believer that you save yourself from this kind of misconception. This is no doubt a doubt that can strike a person's heart any time. Why am I doing all this? What's all this up and down? What are these accounts? I'm reading Anthony corsi once I'm reading Saltillo, clausal, three times I'll follow up three times what is happening as a result, a person that doesn't understand a
Shavon will pick the better of him, and he will instill within him evil whispers and as a result, he is now in doubt of his religion and the teachings of his religion. And he finds himself leaving Islam we ask Allah azza wa jal to protect us. Even let's understand one more of these relationships between solar loss or solar develop.
You see, solar teleclass, it discussed the greatest concept ever. And that was
at the heat, La ilaha illAllah. That is the greatest concept ever.
And it is absolutely certain. And it is a fact that anyone who embraces the genuine property, through solid laws and actually believes that there is one Lord worthy of worship, then
if you believe this, and you practice it, and you preach it, no doubt, you will be harmed.
You will be harmed. You will be a subject for attackers. You will be harmed. Allah azza wa jal, he said, I see But nurse when you talk while you're Kulu, Amanda homelife, Dunoon? Did the people assume that they will see a no, we believe in Allah, and they will be left without being tested. That's what happened. Anyone who says La ilaha illAllah. And commit to this word, and makes it his flag in life and upholds this word, and implements it and preaches it will be harmed will be tested. No doubt. As you're reading the surah in the morning, and in the evening, you're reminding yourself of this reality. Allah azza wa jal, you said what
are you alleging as easier Hamid about us having that the only reason why the king burnt 20,000 plus or minus of them at the time was just because they believed in Allah and Aziz and Hamid nothing else.
Even whoever upholds it to heat will be harmed. So as a result, you need to seek Allah's protection. For certain laws came with the nurse came, we even unabIe sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he began to preach La Ilaha illa Allah, as he stood on the mountain of Safa, and he told these people let Ilaha illa Allah, the first harm he received was from his own family, his own uncle, Abu Lahab, who turned and sipped the silica and he has as your Matana he cursed him. He cost the NABI sallallahu alayhi wa sallam This is verbal abuse. The harm already started from just by saying people say Laila Halal Allah, and the harm started from them. And then he and his companions were harmed throughout
their life in Mecca for the next 13 years. And then when they moved to El Medina until Yanni finally Allah azza wa jal give the believers will Islam victory over the enemies, so swallow to live loss. sorted, then Philip comes after sort of a class to teach us that you will be exposed to a great deal of harm and evil. Whether these evils are external, as we'll see in the sorter, or whether it's internal, which is always worse a che apart. Let me show you a bomb. No doubt he's worse worse upon the believer is going to be more than anyone else. Because everyone else is on his side anyway. They go with him to show him anyway, so it doesn't work much on them. But he's working more on the
believer to grab him and put him to his side. And this is why even I think it was even Masaru there'll be Allahu Anhu when the Jews came to him and they said to him in ln was fossil fuel Salah Tina, we don't experience any worse was in our in our salad. He said what a Jewish man said to Ibn Massoud we Jews don't have a slice in our salad like you people sometimes complain to your messenger for that have been Masuda said to him one day if I lose SharePoint Albion Hello Rob. What is the shutdown going to do with a ruined destroyed heart anyway? Me people all destroyed your money site. What's he going to give you a slice of what for even his intense was was is going to be upon the
believers upon those who believe in Allah and follow the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as a result. Once you're aware of this fact, and you sip on who Allah who are hot in the morning and you're
Certain and form of its meanings and you're implementing it, then understand, hum will come. So what do you need? You need Allah's prediction. For either now you start reading solo,
or solo xs afterwards, Allah azza wa jal, he began the surah by saying,
pull out all the bureau Bill falak.
Say, this is an address from Allah to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
And what this implies, is that if the most beloved of Allah's creation, which is also allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
he is commanded to seek and into loss protection. It only leaves us to imagine how much more we are in need of Allah's protection. This command he was coming to notice ourselves and first and foremost, imagine this, and he's guaranteed the paradise Allah azza wa jal has already removed the evil traits of the devils from an Elisa Allahu alayhi wa sallam from a young age. When the angels came in, they cut him open and took his heart and removed half the shaytani mean the evil traits and the qualities of the devil, and the bizarre syndrome was purified. And his shaitan accepted Islam as he would say, He shall not be Allahu Allah, that Allah azza wa jal helped me and aided me upon my
Shavon but now what does that leave the rest of us? Imagine how much more we I need one of you sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is reading the surah every day, three in the morning three in the evening before sleep after Salatin and during his prayers and you can just imagine how much more we are in need of Allah's protection through these two swords. So could you Oh Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam see, and as an extension your Alma should follow in your footsteps and also say on here also it implies that Allah wants the human being us as believers to announce our weakness on our tongue. Announce your weakness. Allah wants the human being to see that he's weak to say on his
tongue that he needs Allah's help and he's desperate for it.
For luck, see it. Announce it.
Show your weakness to Allah subhanho wa Taala some humans are arrogant, and the ego will prevent them from asking anything from Allah subhanahu wata Allah. Allah azza wa jal is telling us to humble ourself and ask him ask him out loud, the one who continues to ask Allah azza wa jal for anything for protection. Such a person is humble to Allah subhanho wa Taala it is a sign of humility. The word it is removing arrogance from the heart. Allah azza wa jal wants to remove every atom of pride and arrogance from the heart of the believing servants and this is why the previous surah was not sold to a close and this soul if you're able to always seek Allah's protection, that is a sign of
sincerity. That's the other relationship Solothurn AirFloss before sincerity, but how am I gonna? How would I What are the signs that I am sincere?
seek Allah's protection, continued to seek Allah's protection, do not stop. And that is a good sign that you are sincere in your worship and your love for Allah subhanahu wata Allah,
our bill, bill, Philip. I like the word, although this is perhaps this is the big word in the solar and the solar after. Here's what you need to understand. This is an entire a bird that in Islam, it's called a list.
This is a worship of the heart, it's called a list.
And this comes at the beginning of every Surah are all below him in a shape on the regime, or whenever you're going to read the Quran, or comes from the word either either means to clean, and hang on to something for protection, to hang on to something or someone for protection. And you you're screaming so hard, that you will not let go.
And you're seeking protection of something that is dangerous and evil, and you're freed from these are the meanings of arval. Now
it also comes from the word Olaru worth and allow worth isn't how beautiful VCs
are all comes from the word Olaru worth. What is worth and worth is the shrubs and the small plants that grow right next to a tree. So you have the bottom of a tree, what grows around the tree in Arabic, it's called Unruh worth. And so these plants and shrubs that grow at night right next to the tree, they are the most protected by the tree. The ID is the one who commits to this rebellion of at least the either and continues to seek Allah's protection, then they are the most protected of Allah's creation. That's the ID. They are the most protected of Allah's creation, the more you seek Allah's protection
And then the more you will be protected by Allah a soldier.
And it also comes from the word allow with this is another beautiful ID along with is actually the meat that is attached directly to the bone. So you know, when there's a lamb or whatever it is that you're cooking the meat that is attached to the bone. This is the best and most tastiest meat of the entire animal that you sacrificed the meat that is attached to the bone. They say that up we are below me are where the who? The best of the meat is that which attached directly to the bone. So the idea here is this. The more a person makes a step further.
The more you're committed to this worship, of seeking Allah's protection, the closer you are to Allah azza wa jal and as a result, you will be the best and in the most purest state and condition.
The more Is there ever in your life, the more pure you are, and the best of the creation in the sight of Allah azza wa jal, the most beloved and the best of the creation of Allah are those who continue to seek His protection. Because when you seek Allah's protection, this is a show of your sincerity. This is a show of your need of Allah azza wa jal, you are displaying the name of Allah or summit in your life that I am in need of you. Subhan Allah
woodmill Am Rahim Allah, He commented on the word, our ortho. And he said the reality of this word. Listen to this beautiful example. He said the reality of our will, is to run away from that which you fee to the one who will protect you. So the one who is seeking protection is rushing to the woman who can protect him. This is powerful.
You're running with your heart, with your soul, with your body with absolute attachment and trust and certainty that He will protect me. I've known him Allah, He gave a small example. So he can bring the meaning even closer. He said, Imagine this a child, and he was chased by the enemy. And the epi enemy had the weapon out. They had the sword unsheath and in front of his face, and the enemy is running after this child, and the child is terrified. He's scared how he's going to get in very soon. So he begins to run. As a result, he sees his father appear in front of him. So he throws himself on his father, and he holds on to him tightly and he clings on to him like about
a hula. He says, this is just an example of what are all the means. Otherwise, he said the word or oval carries a greater meaning than this example. Because when you run to Allah azza wa jal, Allah azza wa jal will most definitely certainly protect you. Unlike in the example, here, your attachment to your father but but to Allah azza wa jal, it is much more much more intense. And you will notice in the Surah, or Bill falak, OB nurse Maliki nurse, Ilahi. Nurse, this is who you're attaching to. And Malik callable, Illa, Allah, for even if that's who you're attaching to, most definitely, he's the one who created whatever harm is going to follow you and most definitely, he can protect you
from that Subhan Allah, Allah azza wa jal, he informed us about men who sought the protection of other than Allah. They sought the protection of a jinn and listened to what happened in sort of diligent Allah azza wa jal, he says, One who Kennedy Shelumiel ins your vulnerability surely, misogyny Fussa, to whom Allah you know, this is a story
of an abbess mentions that the Arabs when they used to travel in the desert, and they would arrive at a valley before they enter this valley. They would stand at the mouth of the valley. And they would see now, Overby, see you they have aware the mean, Charlie Murphy, they would say we seek protection from the master of this valley, meaning the devils and the jinn, that he protects us from everything evil that is in this valley. They would say this before they enter the valley, and then they would walk, hoping that the jinn would protect them from the evil until they reached the other side. You know what happened? Because they sought the protection of other than Allah, Allah azza wa
jal gives the result and he says further ado, whom Rocco and Jim, only increase these men in fee and terror and pain and sadness and worry, they will increase them.
Any day. The matter wasn't satisfied. It wasn't fulfilled. They wanted protection. And as they went through this valley, because they sought other than Allah's protection, they were more fearful and more terrified, Subhan Allah this is the result of anyone who turns to other than Allah for
protection, you turn to other than Allah for protection, the only result you will see the duo whom Allah call, Your pain will be increasing. That's the only result. Now, for ultimately, protection is only sought from Allah azza wa jal and no one else. Everyone else is a means. If you needed someone's protection for a specific matter, and he's able to protect you, and that's permissible, no problems, but you didn't rely on him, you didn't attach to him, that's just the worldly means can fail it compounds. They got attached to Allah, he's the one who's ultimately going to provide this protection.
And he's the one who will protect me through whoever you're seeking protection of in this life. This is a very important meaning to understand now.
Our beloved Bill falak
the word out
it's a present tense, meaning I am continuously seeking His protection and I will do is the action itself. You did not say a star evil bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim. Or a star evil Bill falak. What is the difference between Aldo and star evil? You know, when you say seeking Allah's forgiveness, what do you say?
What do you say? A Stanford Allah, you see, this is what does that mean? I seek Allah's forgiveness as meaning I seek Allah's forgiveness, right? What if he, what if is this called Musa? You call me he? When Musa asked water from Allah for his people? This us in Arabic means I'm asking, I'm seeking. So here, it's not
a star evil Bill, Bill falak.
What's the difference? A star evil means I'm seeking this protection. I'm asking for it. But our view is the action, the protection itself, meaning all the means I've given up, I'm submitted, I've submitted myself and entered into your protection. I'm not even seeking it. I'm already in it. That's how desperate I infer it. I'm already in I'm not even seeking it. I believe that I'm in there, because that's how much I'm in need of it. Cool. Our Evil Bill Bill, Fennec Subhan Allah now and you know what's incredible, he is that Solothurn Fennec, how much have we spoken about it for about 20 minutes, 25 minutes, all of what we've spoken, you've already in your mind seen how huge
disorder is and what a relief disorder is for a believer. And what's beautiful, is that this is from the very first thought that each and every single one of us have memorized when we were children.
See, these this is a Mercy of Allah has solution. This is the wisdom of Allah azza wa jal, there is not a single Muslim household, a seven year old, eight year old man, except that he knows the surah.
And how much have we been speaking about the importance of the surah? And how beautiful is it to know that all of us know it? What is left is for you to begin to implement and understand. And how many times has Allah saved us from evil and harm? Because of our re citation of the surah? But you have no idea. How many times has the solar saved us? But we have no clue no ID. On the Day of Judgment, you will find out what the surah did in your life and how it protected but the faith once again, you need to have this faith in Allah azza wa jal and understand that this Salah is working, the Salah is working. We have the surah in your life but Allah Allahu Allah, what would have
happened
without the will of Bill, what Bill falak THE LORD OF AlFalah PC the word or is used here as opposed to the previous saw that was the word Allah Allahu Allahu Allahu Samad hear the word Allah. Why? Because sort of the net loss was about the Oneness of Allah. And the most suitable name for it to heat is Allah. Whereas Surah till Philip is about protection from evil. And the most suitable name of Allah when seeking His protection is his name Allah, because Allah is the One who created and he's the one who maintains and he controls and all of these matters are under his name Allah and this is under the category of doggy doo a robia now, and this is why we're learning that you need to
use appropriate names of Allah for whatever you're seeking and asking you asking for his protection, use his name, and falak The Lord of the daybreak and follow up comes from the word Falco, Fela Commons to 10 and to split something to rip something apart. Therefore, everything that explodes and splits up is called falak. And there are two opinions for ArenaNet here. One is that alpha luck is the daybreak the light of the dawn. So the idea is Allah azza wa jal said fairly cool Isbell, you know, a treasured time. There is a light that splits the darkness of the night. It's a horizontal line, a white horizontal line that appears
In the sky, and then it begins to grow and grow and grow until the day begins to emerge. That's falak. Allah azza wa jal said fairly,
fairly cool your spa, he is the one who causes the darkness of the night to tear and rip, and he brings out the light. The other meaningful falak is anything that splits. So number one, it's the light of the fissure as he stares through the darkness of the night. And the second opinion is anything that splits is falak. Allah azza wa jal, he said fairly could have been one No, it is Allah who causes the seeds to split the wheat seed, it splits and then the plant starts coming out the corn seed it splits and then that plant comes out the fruit seed or the fruit stone, it splits and then the plant comes out.
And then when the seedling is growing, the earth splits and the plant emerges. And also the womb of any whether it's from mankind or animals, the womb splits and a baby comes out the egg, it splits it hatches and life comes out. The idea here and I would say anything that splits gives birth to something
and everything splits. Everything splits. You have Jani the clouds they split and rain comes out the spring of the earth the earth splits and spring comes out the earthquakes they split the earth out of the water bill Bill falak I am seeking the protection of the Lord of everything that splits
was a Jesuit I'ma holla he said all the creation of Allah is falak if you reflect over this concept, you realize that originally everything splits all the plants and trees and animals everything in the universe. Allah azza wa jal he says oh Allah may Allah Lavina CAFO under similar to another Cara Terra confer Tekna who met the earth and the sky were together. And then Allah azza wa jal and split them they were joined first, then they were split apart. And notice, we said everything that splits causes something to come out something is given birth to the previous surah was merely a dwelling unit. He wasn't born, nor did He is a father or a mother, nor is he a father to anyone, and he
wasn't born.
And now the surah is describing everything he created as follow up. He didn't come out of anyone, nor anyone came out of him. He created everything. So everything Allah has created has pairs because it's come out of something. Let me pull the shade in halacha Nuzzo Jade, from everything we have created, we created in pairs.
And everything Allah created, we said splits and something comes out of it. Well, Subhan Allah, there's a beautiful usage of this word in this surah. This optimism. This is a positive word. It's full of hope, full of light, and brightness for our lives. As the word suggests, I'll falak the light as it breaks the darkness of the night. Now the rest of the surah is going to be about hidden dark evils, a shell. This is associated to darkness, a hall sick. This is darkness, and an affair that magicians that darkness has seen in that's a donkey motion of the heart envy and jealousy. And so the Lord of alpha luck of everything that splits he's able to rip and tear through all the
problems in your life. See the beautiful this is this is the positive aspect of this word called our bill falak it is like Allah azza wa jal is giving openness and relaxation. For the heart of the believer every morning when he reads the surah in the evening when he reads it, those dark difficult times that you have. He is the Lord of alpha luck. He can split and tear this darkness in this problem in your life. And bring up the light bring out the comfort, bring out the peace and the tranquility. And it could be from the same problem you're suffering that you will find ease and comfort.
Like Ibrahim Ali is set up, he's thrown in a fire and this becomes a peace and tranquility for him. A fire Subhan Allah that's the idea now.
So pull out the barrel Bill fella. Springing hope that Allah azza wa jal can protect the believer and he can remove all the evils and the harms that are in his life. Now four evils I mentioned. Mean shatter the Malak warming shattered while sipping is a workable means shattering the fact that if it only shattered it has it in either acid. Listen, the surah is arranged in a remarkably eloquent sequence. It transitions from what's general towards more specific, the first evil that was mentioned is the evil of whatever he created mean charity Mahakala every evil that Allah azza wa jal created is the first thing you're seeking Allah's protection from. Then it gets more specific, you
say more general, then more specific. What's more specific than that warming Shangri La sipping Eva
And I seek Allah's protection from the evil of the darkness as it enters. And then in the fifth set from the magicians, and then from a higher seed, the envia because the magician only works when he's interviewed someone. So it goes from what's
general towards more specific until it gets to the root cause of the evil which is an acid. And we're going to speak about this. So mean surely now Halak, a sharp is evil, and its opposite the higher we shall is evil that causes harm. That's a sharp, evil that can cause harm. It's like the word shut off. You know, in the Arabic, the spark, when you're when you're igniting a matchstick, or whatever it is. And a spark comes up this in Arabic, it's called shut off, and that can burn a person. If that hits you, that can burn a post it can cause harm. Therefore shadow is evil that causes harm. So you're seeking Allah's protection from a sharp
from the evil that may cause harm of whatever he created means shatter the now Haluk
and so the idea here that you need to know is that did Allah create the evil because he's saying he shut the mouth Halak. So how we answer this is we say this. Look, Allah azza wa jal created everything, every single thing he created, He created the evil, but we do not ascribe the evil to Allah. Allah azza wa jal, he said be ethical, higher in his hand is only the goodness when the resell Allahu alayhi wa sallam would see a shuttle release at the lake. Evil is not ascribe to you. So we do not ascribe evil to Allah has social and there is nothing absolutely evil in whatever Allah azza wa jal created, nothing is 100% evil in what Allah created. Lisa Hunkeler he shall roadmap as
Rahim Allah He mentioned. So then shut up and obey me Allahu Allah, He gave her a good understanding to this topic. And he said that what Allah azza wa jal created is of three types. There is something that is purely evil in its creation, but there is goodness in it, such as the hellfire. This is purely evil. But in terms of its wisdoms, it's good. It's a place for the arrogant, and the rebellious and those who rejected Allah to burn in it bliss was Shavon, all of him and his creation is evil, but the wisdom for why Allah created it. From that perspective, it's good, that this is a test for mankind, who's going to adhere to his faith, and who's going to seek Allah's protection
over him, and who's going to invite this person into his life and be one with Him? For there is goodness from the perspective of its wisdom. And then there is pure good in what Allah created, such as the angels, the prophets, that the paradise and then there is things that have good and bad in them, and that is like mankind. And you can see also from among Elgin as well there is good and there's bad sicknesses as well. There is good there is bad to sickness as well. The good is that it wipes away person sins elevates his ranks with Allah azza wa jal and so on for it and this is when we're seeing min sharpener Haluk we are asking Allah azza wa jal to protect us from the evils of
what he created from the evil aspect of that which he Subhanahu wa Taala created now.
And this has a profound lesson and that is that Allah azza wa jal informed us that we are to seek His protection from the evils he created in shadowy man Haluk Allah azza wa jal mentioned that he created them. Therefore, he established his authority and rule over everything. And since he created that which is evil, and it's not ascribed to him subhanaw taala therefore, the only one that can protect you from it is the one who created it, which is Allah azza wa jal.
So within the sort of there is a reason for why you shouldn't turn to anyone else, to protect you from evils and harms.
And once you understand this lesson,
it proves that your citation of the previous solar solar loss is true, and it's genuine leather, they will store heat in that and this now, is that the heat concept, those who turned to other means for protection, such as a hijab, the amulets that people do, write some words in it, put it on your son's shoulder for protection, all of that is deficiency Tauheed and if a person actually believes this is protecting him, this is covered, he has this believed and if a person believes this is a means for protection, and the ultimate protector is Allah, this is a ship colossal still shit. And the blue eye as well that people put in their businesses, or in the Status a blue are in the status.
All of this. If you took this as a means believing Alana is the ultimate protector, Shere Khan also dangerous
And if you actually believe this is what's bringing you the protection, hello the person there's there's no more laying on the person will die as a Kaffir We ask Allah azza wa jal to save us.
Now it gets more specific, I mean Shetterly ha sipping is our cup and we seeking the protection of Allah
from the evil of Aloha SIG either woke up now there are two opinions for Aloha sip and they don't contradict each other they complete each other. Number one hola SIP is the complete darkness of the night.
Yanni they say the rasa kattiline is taller, the man and I, if it's full with T's, then in Arabic they say Akasa cut the line.
And if a wound is full with blood, they say Hasakah TG Raha our Judo that the the wound is full of blood. So Aloha SIP is when the night is so so dark, there's absolutely no light left. You know, because that Macula time there's still light. And as the hours go by, it gets dark and dark and darker until it becomes pitch black. Until you cannot even see the size of a tree. How high is the tree you can't even see anything. And you can't even see a size of a mountain there. There could be a big mountain in front of you. You cannot even see it because it has been enveloped by the darkness of the night. So I'm in Shangri La sipping. The other opinion is that Allah is the moon itself. Nabi
SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, I shall the Allahu Anhu narrated that interviews are seldom took her hand. He held her hand. At night, they were standing outside. And he said to her to look at the moon. And then he said to her, yeah, it's that easy below him. And shortly after that, for him to hear the loss of their workup, seek Allah's protection from this, because this is the horse, either workup when it enters this is the horse of the moon when it enters. And we said there's no contradiction between these two opinions because the moon is a sign of the night. The moon only appears at night. Therefore we seeking the protection of Allah azza wa jal, the Lord of alpha luck,
the Lord of the light of the morning from the evil of whatever he created, and the evil of the very darkness of the night, whenever it enters waka waka when it enters and will hold the whole volume, if he che, what kebabs when, when the darkness enters, and I explained to you, it enters so much, that even if there's if there's a light, if there's a car driving towards you, you will not know. And if he's got his headlights on, maybe that's two motorbikes. Maybe it's a car maybe it's a truck, you have no clue. That's because of not because of how dark it is. This is a loss whenever it enters now, by Why was this mentioned the darkness of the night specifically, because when the darkness
settles, that's when evil is rented. That's when the crimes happen. crimes take place at night. shootings and murders take place at night. Magicians get to work at night, drugs and alcohol nightclubs. The emergency rooms of the hospital are very full Friday night and Saturday night and Sunday night. The R rated programs on TV they're all at night. 12 o'clock, one o'clock in the pitch black of the night. A lot of crimes happen. A lot of evil happens at this night.
The shell been active at this time. So as a result, and this is a time as well, if you're outside insects come to life, biting in poisoning, whoever said so you're seeking Allah azza wa jal has protection from the darkness of the night whenever it enters. Subhan Allah when the visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam he warned us about the night and its evils. Listen to this hadith, and the sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said if I can assure her lady
Koufos will be an icon. As soon as the night enters,
pack your children away, put them inside the home. See Brianna calm was sabe as an IV sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would say or sabe yo, Diablo? Yeah. Now sorry, is the one who hasn't reached the age of puberty yet. So anything of children under the age of puberty as soon as the ninth enters, which is fermata time, take them and put them inside the house. It is not allowed for them to be outside by.
They've been has your Rahim Allah explained something important he he says is this something that we have to do? And put the children inside when it becomes Mahana time? He said no.
But listen to his explanation. He said this was the default instruction of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam because children under the age of puberty, what is assumed is that they do not read their accounts. They don't read the account. As a result there is no protection. So put them inside because the devils are released at night.
However, if a child under the age of puberty was to read the Afghan, especially out of courtesy, well if Lawrence Wilma with attain then have been harsh on him Allah says it is allowed to leave the children outside and there is no need to bring them in the house when the night begins. That's the ID this is what is meant by the Hadith Allahu Allah. Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam then he says, either have to Mina laelia For Hulu, whom when a few moments, perhaps 45 minutes of the night has passed my you allow your children to leave after this. Then he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to
lock the doors see this only is this. These are instructions of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam what to do at night and how to protect yourself and liquidweb lock the doors with Grace Mala. make mention of Allah's name through the Afghan such as Bismillah he lived the life of Guru mas me shameful of LFC metal sinner and Aleem reading Alma with that and so on
the in the CHE Aparna and after her Weber more luck, if the door is locked, the CHE upon does not open a locked door. So if the door is locked, a Shavon will not open that. Then then the be sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said wo ke o Killa calm with kudos Mullah Mohammed or any ethical math guru Smola cover the jugs and cover the pots and the water bottles. Everything you have in your house of pots and jugs. Whatever it is that you leave on the stove open. You must cover this as in the visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam says and he says in the visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam would say well no untidy Allah He che even if it was you know the wooden spoon that is used to stir the things that
are in a pot, even if you use a wooden spoon to just put it on top of the pot. That's enough, not necessarily closing it with a lid, just put something on top of it. Put something on top because there is a disease that comes down a sickness that comes down once a year Allahu Allah and when it comes down, and as a result in the vehcile Allahu alayhi wa sallam is concerned for this ummah cover, cover these things up with kudos Mala. And then in the visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam said, we're up to Masabi How come turn off the lights, see all this is happening at night, turn off the light, turn off the candle, turn off the candle. Why? Because this candle or this light could be a
reason for why the house burns. And this was a story that happened to Nabi SallAllahu, alayhi wasallam that once in a visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam was in his in house, and a mouse came in and it went to the candle and it took the week. You know the string that candle week it took the week and he dropped it before Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on a mat which he was on he was sitting on it. As a result, it burned a hole the size of a dram. Then in the visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam he said, he then in tune for us to Soulja comb. Whenever you go to sleep at night, turn off the candles and turn off the light in the shell. The Dulo muffler Heather, Allah Heather, for the record, because
the CHE upon what he does, is that he guides this creature. He guides this rat, this mouse to do what he just did right now, and as a result, it sets the house on fire.
For this is something that needs to be adhered to and followed. Then Allah azza wa jal he says one in Shirley Nephi 31 in Charlotte has said in either hazard, we're coming to the end. The previous idea was about the time in which evil takes place and that is the night
with an affair that comes from the Word Nevada, Nevada means to blow, blow breath with some spirit.
Fill rocket in the knots.
Allah azza wa jal did not mention warming, shirtless scenery, seeking Allah's protection from magic. No. He said mean shattering the fourth, seeking Allah's protection from the magician.
Not from the magic from the magician himself, the one who practices magic and Nefer third, because that's what the magician does. The worst type of magic is to tie knots and blue in them. The word nothing teaches us that there is more than one type of magic. But the worst type of magic which Allah is teaching us to seek His protection from is when the magician takes some of the belongings of a person or it's brought to him and he ties knots in them. And then he blows in them and reads his words of comfort and whatever it is seeking the devil's assistance and help Well, magician is emotionally anyway he's a character and he does this kind of magic woman shattering affair that
those who blew him in the notes Subhanallah when the fifth head is a plural and this is how the magician's work. They all joined together, especially when there are big events like the LM
big games or whatever it is the soccer games in the matches. They actually they join there's a big conference for magicians every and they discuss these matters how are we going to get this team to lose and how is this team gonna win and Walla Walla what happens but this is the evil this is their filth? Let me share it in the fair 35th We are seeking Allah's protection from the evil when he showed it in the first 30 film Roca. Subhan Allah. Now the last area that comes with us women shatter it has it in either has the question is, why would someone Cast Magic onto someone else? What's the reason? jealousy?
Jealousy
they don't want someone to succeed they want to see them fail. So Allah azza wa jal mentions the root cause of magic and that is Al Asad. Allah azza wa jal, he said, Women shatter the high seed in either hazard. We're concluding now I'll hazard my brothers and sisters in Islam. Even though Tamia Rahim Allah would not pay him. They said that Al Assad is to hate the blessing of Allah upon others. Whether you wish for this blessing blessing to be removed from this person or not. Adam has just the fact that I hate Allah's blessing upon someone. This is Hassan.
And the first crime that took place in the heavens was hassad. When Allah who would say to Bliss, all the angels including bliss to make a search that to Adam, and you refuse then he said at a higher or min I'm better than him. This is arrogance, and the arrogance was a result of his hustle. And the first crime that took place on earth was also envy in the story of the two sons of Adam alayhis salaam, called below heavy
and he corbeil became jealous of heavy because Allah azza wa jal had accepted from heaven, and that led to the murder of his brother. And has it led to the murder from one brother to another. And so it has it is haram in Islam. Nabi SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam said well at the Hansa do, do not envy each other. And the fact that we are seeking protection from the envious person whenever he envies, that is already teaching us that we shouldn't envy anyone or anything.
They all say warming shut their house in either How sad. You're seeking Allah's protection from the envy or whenever he envies that therefore you shouldn't be envy. That's a bad trip. That's something you're seeking protection from its evil.
Weapon. Tamia Rahim Allah He said that every single person carries this trait and quality in them. Everyone has hazard in him, everyone. Everyone is able to be envious and jealous of others. Shuffle Islam even Taymiyah he says, I'll carry my manual fee. Well let him Oh my god. But the honorable noble person is the one who fights it suppresses, it keeps an inside doesn't bring it out. And the wretched evil person is the one who exposes his envy. And that's why in the visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam instructed us whenever you are amazed by something of your children or your business or yourself for you, Bedrick saith of Allah, Allah say, masha Allah, for in the line a hawk, because
the evil eye is a reality. It's a certainty. It's truth, it can happen with evil, it comes as a result of envy. So this hadith already shows that each and every single one of us has envy in them. But the good believer he suppresses conceals it inside. Notice here, Allah azza wa jal, he said, roaming surely has hidden either hazard. You're seeking Allah's protection from the NVR whenever he envies because we said everyone has envy in them. So you can't possibly be seeking Allah's protection from everyone.
You're seeking Allah's protection from the NVR when he begins to envy when his hustle begins to come out, and how does the Envy come out? How does it become apparent? That's when a person begins to talk that about others, that biting others? Why would you back by other than the fact that you envy this person criticizing others, in a wrongful way any wanting to harm someone going after someone's business, that's signs that the Envy has come out. That's the person you you're seeking Allah's protection from? You have a house and house it hates this blessing upon you. You have a business, and hence it hates that you have a business that can house it just wants to cause harm to others.
But whenever you're seeking loss protection, when you're reading the surah in the morning and in the evening, then
the harm of the house it is moved away from you.
And the hassad will only harm himself no one else has it. The NVR harms himself three times. Number one, when he brings out his hazard that's it
isn't for him earning sins.
Number two, this is bad manners with Allah azza wa jal, Allah has decreed a blessing for someone. You hate Allah's blessing upon someone, therefore you have objected to the puddle of Allah azza wa jal. That's the bad thing for the house in himself. And the third matter is that the has the NVR brings pain and sadness to his heart. You envied someone, what did you do? If that person is protected by Allah's protection? You're only harming yourself Subhanallah if I had them house it, it's evil. Well finally, how does the person
fight the hazard within him? Because we said every person has this quality within them, he can feel envious towards anyone. So how do we treat this? How do we suppress this and fight it? There are four methods if Nila whoever was to apply this, sha Allah Allah has said will not damage him. And this is the perfect way to suppress and contain this hazard inside of you. Number one, whenever you feel envious about someone or the blessings that someone has rushed to seeing our will be lay him in a shape on a regime
that's number one. Number two, late do it in secret for this person.
And if need be, make it in public to him. As he's speaking st May Allah azza wa jal bless your house, may Allah bless your car may Allah bless your children Masha Allah, may Allah protect them for you, the more you make dua for him, this is suppressing this envious feeling within you. Number three, talk good and in a positive manner about this person, praise him.
Because you need to fight this evil habit of hazard within you. You need to find it. So when you speak good about someone in the presence of others, you're finding it
and finally, don't look at what Allah social has given those above you in financial status don't Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said do not look at those above you one vote or 11 who are do not come look at those who are below you financially. Why? What does this make? Valiquette? As you don't know a lettuce dodo Namath Allahu alaykum this would be one of the means in how you will not belittle the blessings Allah has given you. So when you look at those below you you'll say Alhamdulillah for what I have. I'm living in rent and hamdulillah like some others are sleeping in the roof. The sky is the roof. And I got some cold. Yeah, or I don't have fancy clothes and $500
clothes. But I have something others are walking naked. Now because he doesn't find call, or others are wearing clothing. He's been wearing it for the past two weeks hasn't washed it because he doesn't have anything other than that. When you begin to look at those below, how can you have hazard in your life anymore? No more. It is removed, it's gone. This is how you're going to destroy an asset within you. When the sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, you know Adam, why should Berman who thing and he also was the son of Adam, he grows old. But there are two things that remain young inside the person. And that is greed and jealousy. These two things don't grow old, you don't grow
out of them. They stay young in a person, you'll find someone really old, and he's still greedy. And he's still envious and jealous of others. SubhanAllah. And, and these two things are related. Because
people are jealous because they're greedy. Jealousy comes as a result of greed. And why did I mention the Hadith to finally say, these two things are developing in a human from a young age, greed and jealousy. And you'll see this a lot if you have children, between brothers and sisters in the house. So the advice here for parents to make note of this, do not
ignore this greed and jealousy among the brothers and sisters in the house. Do not ignore it. It's there, it's in front of you address it, address it. It's tiring. It's difficult, but you need to address it every day. If you see a brother jealous from his brother, or his greed, he wants his things his toys, his money, his whatever it is, you need to address this. You need to teach them. This is called jealousy. This here what you're doing is called greed, unhealth. Allah social does not like this. And you begin to teach. If you want something, ask it from Allah azza wa jal. You have acid this is how you destroy it. address it every time. Do not ignore it. It happens to three
times address it two, three times in the house. You're not in the house, the wife addresses she's not in the house, the Husband, husband and wife in the house. Both of you get the children and address it. Tell them look, I'm your father. This is your mother. We're not jealous of each other.
And what we're not greedy for what's in the hands of each
Come up, we work together. And let them see that in you as a father and a mother. This way, if you train your children, how to suppress and have a control over their jealousy, and the envy, there'll be doing all right in life, most of the problems today in life, most of the problem among people today is envy and greed. And these two things are not getting young, they are not getting old, they remain young in a person. Next surah is what solar two nests or solar the nurse is going to explain the greatest invia to mankind ever known. And that is a che upon, He's the greatest. So this sort of concludes, roaming shatter has seen in a hazard. Next surah is going to teach us how to protect
ourselves from the greatest of Allah's creation that envied mankind and he continues to do so until this day. We stop here in sha Allah Allah We ask Allah azza wa jal to accept our gathering to forgive our sins to forgive our shortcomings to admit listen to the highest levels of the paradise it normally with medical powder, Ali SallAllahu wasallam Opelika ala Nabina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi Germaine
