00:00:47 --> 00:01:24
			what I usually do on on weekend mornings is I choose a sutra and I've been doing this for the last
six or seven years or so we do see your various specific surah in the Quran. Just because the the
audience on weekends a little bit different than the audience on the weekdays. And I prefer those
who come on weekends to have a full series to follow rather than to pick picking up on pieces of a
series that's running throughout the weekdays and they may feel a little bit lost. So that's the
point of me changing a little bit through the weekend or also pretty much every it's a little bit
easier for me to to continue the series I run throughout the weekdays on the weekends. But this is
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:33
			the kind of it's a little bit of an incentive for those who come on weekends who want to attend
something. If they come every Saturday and Sunday they tend to fall short on the hair that I've seen
of it
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			fully that's hopefully something for them to
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:51
			help them and shut down. And it's always a little bit tricky to choose the suit is good you have to
choose something that's not too long and or too short. And I look for something that's between four
to six pages. And this year in sha Allah Tada we will
		
00:01:52 --> 00:02:06
			go through the night Allah students a lot last year we this was full season the year before I think
so there's a lot of year before that so it look man and I've done in July. I've done a number of
students over the years after I've just wanted to measure in
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:27
			on weekends in Ramadan. So the ride is one of my favorite in general I love to to ride for many
reason. I think it's one of the underrated sorrows, meaning out of the sort of the Quran that people
love and enjoy and choose to recite verses or parts of throughout salah or in general so it's
arrived doesn't seem to get enough attention.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:56
			I mean, surely it's filled with extremely, extremely beautiful I got that very profound and nature
as all of the Quran is but the sutra is a little bit, a little bit goes a little bit unnoticed. It
exists within a cluster of sutras that come right after sub LT while or are the long ones, from
Bacara to Toba, those eight long sutras that we that basically can put together composed the
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:30
			the first 10 years of the Quran, and tell him one way or the other the story of the development of
of our faith of Islam and how it is that we what what the pillars of our role within all of it is
going to look like you have photo sewers right after that which are these four from unis to a rod
that talk about critical points. And I did a series of cookbooks on the sutras, I think lmm a few
years ago, over the course of maybe maybe 16 or 17 weeks or a bit more even. And these four sutras
they cover they cover four critical points that are needed.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:04:10
			In order for the faith to function. Sometimes Sometimes within a field are within a discipline,
there is a specific point or a specific concept that if you don't have the discipline, or the field
won't function at all, there's a lot of important pieces for sure. But sometimes there's one that
just has to be there. And if it's not there, the whole thing does not make any sense. But that's
basically what these horses do. And so you would just for example, talks about theology, and sort of
who talks about the message itself and sort of use of talks about the ethicality, or the morality,
and as soon as the right talks about the laws, and each of these tools takes a point within that
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:46
			field, and it puts in and it explains expands upon. And that point is critical for the survival of
the faith in general through that discernment. So in theology, so what's the universe talks about? A
lot and because that piece is critical, if you don't understand that, then your theology almost
means nothing. Like the weight of your deen is nothing like you can you if you believe in Allah, and
you believe in human, but you don't understand what he's trying to say regarding Allah and then
you're not going to be able to function as a Muslim like your, your actual theology will not. It's
not functional, it's not functional, because you don't understand the consequence of this belief
		
00:04:46 --> 00:05:00
			that you carry. That's why that piece is talked about in depth in sorting who would bring out the
message without his law reform, which is what this talks about there is no there's no point like
what there's no wait for the message that you care you you believe in Islam and you want to pray
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:36
			Test it and spread it great. If reform is not a piece of that, then Islam doesn't do anything is
Toothless. It doesn't doesn't change behavior, it does not affect communities or societies. It's not
it doesn't do anything, it becomes extremely benign, benign and in a bad way, where it has no effect
on human behavior, human psychology sort of used of talks about ethics. Specifically, it talks about
consistency. Because without that piece of ethic isn't even an ethic. Like an ethic doesn't mean
anything, there's no point of a moral, if it's selective. If it's selective, you might as well not
even have it, it doesn't it's not you can't call it an ethic, you can call it whatever you want to
		
00:05:36 --> 00:06:11
			call it, but it's not unethical, I think has to be consistent values have to be consistent across
the board, regardless of the situation. So with us, we're just talking about the consistency because
without that piece, whatever it is that you carry, won't, you can't call it an ethic. So we're the
rod at the end of this beautiful, I love these fours, who those are very, very meaningful. And very
important. And I think there's a lot in the in each of them for us to kind of contemplate and
reflect upon. So worth the ride. Specifically, it talks about the laws, not the lies that that maybe
you think about first, which is the laws of jurisprudence, the laws of physics, know, it doesn't
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:45
			talk about the laws of physics, it doesn't explain to us what you do regarding the laws of how to
pray or how to make well don't know, this is talking about the laws that govern existence. And
again, it's not going into the specifically the biological laws that govern existence, it's not
going to talk about gravity or the the electromagnetic fields, it's not gonna it's going to talk
about this. It's the other law, the laws that govern our existence in a way that's a little bit
zooming out a little bit out of that, the importance of understanding those laws, and which of those
laws are the most important for you to focus upon, which is the law of health, which of
		
00:06:45 --> 00:07:25
			righteousness. This is what Susan Wright talks about. Yunus talks about righteousness Allah but not
in opposition to falsehood. No, it talks about righteousness. So let's do this just in case you
recite it and you'll find the word Huck repeating itself using this Yes, must be insane. This is
this sort of talks about how it's not in opposition to falsehood, but rather in opposition to
aimlessness to Bilal. And there's a difference how is a word that is quite versatile. So Huck in the
opposition of aimlessness, help becomes purposefulness. And that's what further means understanding
further and further allows you to understand that there is a purpose to things that things come down
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:59
			Allah subhanaw taala. It's all it's all accounted for. And that allows you to understand it in a way
that's much more meaningful that he is Hakim, Soprano data, and that's what he was doing is just so
at the right talks about health, but not in opposition to enlaces, but rather in opposition to
falsehood, which is righteousness, which is in the form of righteousness. And that's what sort of
talks about, and it goes through all these laws, and it points out one or two within the law of
health, that is extremely important for us to understand and, and the benefit within these sorts of
lines is just you'll you'll you'll get you'll get you'll get what I mean once we go through the
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:34
			verses and you see what, what they're actually talking about, and how they talk about what they talk
about. I won't lie the first four or five verses which arrived are some of the most beautiful in the
Quran. I quote them quite often here and there. when the opportunity arises, it may even arise this
year, and it within a smell lighthouse. Now at some points I think I've chosen Oh, some were they'll
rise. They'll be able to recite them out loud. But we'll get to go through the Michela Tala and
contemplate their meanings because they're beautiful. So we'll start in Charlotte's with the ride.
First of all before we do that, so the ride is a it's a Mackay Sula, mid late McKee surah.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			mid late McKee surah.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:09:18
			Bravo is allowed to assign would would, would receive the sewer. Of course, there's a lot in Mecca a
lot of sewers and to get almost 80 or 80 of the 114. So if you if you count the number of sewers out
of 114 sewers 80 of them are more were revealed in Mecca. However, they're not that long. So, Quran
half of it was a mech and half is Medina, even though number wise, there was way more revealed in
Mecca than it was revealed in Medina is just because you need to have all of your armor revealed in
the first couple of years and Mecca and then Zulu, Bukhara within the first year, but you know,
which is like two and a half years altogether within a year and within a year and a half. So the
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:24
			Quran basically is almost in the divided right, right, right in the heart right and half half McKee
has made any
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:39
			but the number of sutras is not is not balanced by any by any means. And it shows the mid late
Mackay Sula, the talks that came to the Prophet alayhi salatu. Sandow Sahaba during a time where
they were undergoing persecution and oppression and they had to put up with a lot of
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:59
			a lot of difficulties. And the and these are times of perseverance, which is which is why this story
exists. And actually understanding the the concepts that the sewer that were revealed during that
period, you only understand those concepts actually very, because it's very meaningful because when
you imagine what was happening to him on his site to us, and I'm andalso How about that?
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:05
			Cindi Searles would revealed it sheds light on what Allah subhanaw taala expects from people.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:42
			When you're going through a hard time, when you're going through a very hard time and things are not
working out in your favor, and you see yourself in a moment of failure, and then you hear what Allah
subhanaw taala is saying to you, that sheds light on what he expects from you. subhanaw taala it
really this is honest, this is his own study, by the way, like this is its own discipline of
understanding the Quran is like a whole other dimension of understanding it. Because if you're going
through difficult difficulties in life, you're wondering what is what does Allah subhanaw taala want
from me within this very hard time, it's not that difficult to actually see what he wants from you
		
00:10:42 --> 00:11:14
			just go read the sutras that were revealed in that mid late Mechi period, and you'll know exactly
what it is that he wants from you. And you'll be quite shocked. You'll be quite surprised of what
he's what he's what he's demanding from His servants during that because when in Medina, after if
you think about it, after I said things cooled down a little bit, a little bit. I'm not saying it
got perfect, but it cooled down a bit. And after her debut, it also cooled down her Davia was the
sixth year of his of his age, a lot of your slots. I'm technically there are five more years of his
life out of your slot towards the verses that were revealed during that time. You know, that's when
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:48
			you would think some of these students were revealed this sort of talk about Yaniv persevere is
talking about giving more talk about Jani adhering to hap No, no, no, we're talking about about
adhering to HUD and giving more all came in Mecca when they were when they had nothing, when they
when they were very weak in terms of their numbers and weak in terms of their status and weak in
terms of their their ability to do anything during the years where they had a launch. This literally
just came with with law with with laws just came with do this and don't do that and be and behaved
like this and don't behave like that and follow this command and watch out for that one. When they
		
00:11:48 --> 00:12:24
			had when they had strength. That's what these soldiers came in did. And that's just very it's an eye
opener because you want to understand because you want to imagine what position are you in that is
similar to a position he was in earlier Salatu was Salam and when you do that, you would want to
advocate what soldiers that he received during that period and and then honestly, we're we are
living in Raha we're living in ease, the sorrows we will be receiving or the students that just tell
us how to do it as soon as I give us the nitty gritty of exactly how to follow the laws very, very
precisely, very precisely because we have we should have dealt with the basic values and principles
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			of Artina bit before all of this.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:43
			So that's when the students and it was revealed there's no specific syllabus suited for it. Some
scholars will point out a few others will but they have no authenticity. So there's no point of me
going over them. So we'll start in solid solid with your citation of sorts of what I will be
learning in a shape on your body
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51
			Bismillah young man young Wafi
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			early Fleur
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02
			mi mo Muro.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:31
			So you do the lamb, six counts, and you do the meme six counts, and then you have between the meme
of lamb. So when you say the word lamb, there's a meme at the end of it. And the first meme of meme
you have another one. So it takes two counts as well. So you have to do those two cancels. You do
six counts. Once you're done with the six then you give the twice two counts and then the Mi six
will
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:41
			be in the raw is just two counts raw and there's no hems at the end of it even though that's how we
would pronounce it.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:14:00
			In our in our normal speech you'll see a lot with hummus at the end of it not in not in the Quran or
not in the hydrophone Macatawa not in these separated letters that are recited at the beginning of
certain sewers in the Quran. You just say of all it's just two counts without hammers at the end of
it till yeah toolkit
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:10
			will levy Zilla la Kamiya Rob beacon help
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:23
			Well, Kin XL one sila you mean goon
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:59
			so you have these Hello Phil Macatawa are separated letters at the beginning of suitors in the
Quran. You find them quite all across the Quran. The way I see them. I see them like coding at the
beginning of any surah I see them like a code a small and the end the surah is that begin with
splitters that with one letter have certain commonalities and students that begin with Alif Lam Meem
or F la meme sobre la membre also have commonalities and so there are things it's like at the
beginning of the story is giving you a little bit of a it's attaching Sooners across the Quran with
each others through certain themes
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:38
			So that's again another another kind of dimension of understanding how the Quran works. But to make
it simple to make, like the use understanding of why he puts these letters at the beginning of the
Zulu is easy, it's more of a implied challenge. It's an implied challenge to the people of the Arab,
because out of all they really were good at, it's the tongue of the Arab. This is a part of old old
proverbs Asian Proverbs, the tongue of the Arab, they didn't have much else going for him. Not
really, not obviously didn't didn't really achieve much else. Historically, outside of Islam, let's
talk about this remove Islam from the picture for when we did talk about this race of people that
		
00:15:38 --> 00:16:14
			lived in, in this peninsula, in Arabia, they didn't really live anywhere else. I mean, the people
living in Egypt or the people living in shaman at often, they were not necessarily out of it, they
had different backgrounds. They weren't necessarily you can't really call them out of Ibrahim Ali
said, I'm going Ernie. He came from Iraq, he was not out in his in his origin, his son is made out
he's married into your home, into a into an Arabic tribe. And then his descendants were called out
of out of him was Daddy, but because he their origin is not necessarily out of but because its main
ally, spoke the language fluently. And he married into that tribe, his children have lived in that
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:26
			same area to begin with. And most most out of today are descendants of his mate Alehissalaam from
one way or the other, because the cross marriage occurred almost almost fully throughout a
millennium, a millennium and a half.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:50
			But this race of people didn't, they didn't really do much outside of their small peninsula, and
they never organized politically ever. Never, they never organized politically, like they never had
actually obstinate leadership of any sort, even when they were raided a few times throughout
history. And they had to unite and fight back and save the years in another another known known
historical incidents, they still they still really really did not
		
00:16:51 --> 00:17:06
			build any any unity within politics. There were kings amongst them, but there were a lot of them.
There was like a lot of kings. And a lot of these kings had our alliances either with Persia or with
it with with Ethiopia or with
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:40
			the Roman Empire. So they just hide it. It's still the same thing today. It's not that difference.
It's not we haven't really lost that piece. You had the Vasa Cena and Domino's era, and they had
their loyalty to different countries, we have the same musi. But still there are rules are still
there alliances either to the west or to the east, but never to the people who actually live with
them. Because there's never it's just out of have never known how to do that we've never learned
like, outside of Islam, we never figured out how to actually rule politically and actually care at
all for the people that we are ruling No, I almost almost almost never, it's never happened. We lost
		
00:17:40 --> 00:18:02
			it after he died. Alia salatu. Salam within 3040 years we lost it again. And immediately our rule
ruling went back to a military Yeah, I need a dictatorship that just basically put its boots on the
on the necks of the people that they are there to. So it hasn't changed that much. Honestly, when
you look at our development as a faith, we're still, in my opinion, still a little bit early in our
development. Like we're not it's not that late.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:37
			People look at the graphs of history and think that maybe though this is towards the end, it's not
towards the end, this is this is still quite 1400 years, it's still quite early in any faith, if you
want to compare it to Judaism, or to Hinduism, or Buddhism, or, or even or even to Christianity,
we're still we're still you know, we're a little bit early on, we're still figuring out the politics
part, we haven't really figured that piece out to just stay trapped historically in a period where
we think that things went well, when they didn't, will continue to weigh on us until we figured out
that there were good things within that Qaeda Rashida period. But after that, after that, there were
		
00:18:37 --> 00:19:07
			good things, but a lot of it was not good. A lot of it was not good. If you think that it was all
good, then you just haven't really read the history books at all. Like you just don't know exactly
what occurred. Like you don't understand that within 40 years of his death, I used salatu salam
someone, basically yeah. And he threw rocks upon the cabin and broke half of it Yanni. And the guy
who was ruling was, was ruling in the name of the Khalifa, we went through a lot of turmoil
politically. And it's only when we when we are willing to learn from the lessons of the past from
the turmoil that we went through, that we will be able to actually bring something back for
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:44
			ourselves that is reasonable, will bring some form of political representation and political
leadership that will that will allow Muslims to exist in a form of unity and a form of dignity that
they are looking towards. We don't have to go back to the exact way things were done in the in the
ninth century or 10th century. Honestly, things were not that great back then there were a lot of
mistakes that occurred. The one thing that we had going was the fact that we were united, meaning
the whole Muslim Ummah was under one ruler, but the ruler, the system of ruling itself was not was
not amazing. And it required, it requires a lot of revision today, if we hope to actually go back to
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:59
			something that is meaningful in the future. If you want to actually look towards the future and say,
We can do better than that. There's way There's much more we can do way better than that we can
bring ourselves together in a better way and we can function in a better way and we can have
representation that actually allows us to be prosperous and
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:42
			And to stand by what it is that we believe in, we think is important. So the word grayed out that
they never weren't, and they still aren't. And, but they weren't good. They were good at their
articulation. They were very good at articulation. I always tell people that the piece that I feel
is missing in my ability to teach is teaching. I need earlier Arabic poetry. Yeah, the early the
earliest type, the early examples of Arabic poetry in Arabic oration is just breathtaking. Like,
like the the proficiency, the command of language that these people had was Wallahi. I've never it's
unparalleled. There's nothing. It's just it was just very interesting how, how good they were with
		
00:20:42 --> 00:21:20
			their talk with their speech, how they could describe things in certain ways. And even though they
didn't have a lot to describe, if you think about someone living in the desert, how many things you
have to describe sky, sand, and more sand, and then just more and more sand and a couple of camels
running around. That's pretty much what do you have to describe you weren't, they weren't living in
a place where there was a lot to see and describe yet. Yet, when you listen to their poetry, you
think they would live in their living in an in an everlasting oasis of just beauty, just ongoing
beauty because that's how they they saw the world through. Like they talked about their sheep out
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:22
			with their camels in ways that were just
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			I you think,
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:57
			to complete it, that's enough, I'm good. I don't need more. I don't need to hear about your camel
anymore. Every time go back, because they weren't really talking about their camels, they were
always using that to symbolize other things in their lives. They just think that like instead of
saying something upfront, they would they would imply it through talking about a cannibal are
talking about a piece of land that they once lived on or looking at looking at their past and, and
they embedded symbolism into this into their speech in a way that I don't know. I'm gonna tell you
this quick story. It's not quick, but I'm telling you the story anyway. And here's what here's what
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:08
			he what happened during his life Alia salatu salam, and this is to me one of those, because I want
you to understand not only how strong how, what a strong command of the language they had, but how
how intelligent the Prophet alayhi salatu salam from that perspective was
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:24
			because this helps you appreciate what the Quran was, because the Quran came and challenge upfront I
dare you bring something like this. And if lamb means that's your letters or know your letters or
no, okay, go ahead, do something like this, do something like this.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:26
			And they couldn't,
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:28
			they couldn't respond.
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:46
			The best efforts or response or jokes I can tell to make you laugh, and feel molfino melfin lavorato
montavilla, you don't perceive that as the PA in Atlanta, well, as you know, the Agena will have
exactly Hubzu this is what they this is what they would come up with.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:23:22
			Because Arabic poetry is very rigid. And the Quran broke that law and came up with a completely
different law and artistic law that they'd never heard of before you make the mud here, you put the
Hoonah here, you make you do something very different than you and you sound it out in a way that
does not follow their very rigid laws or is 16 rhythms that they use to, to actually give poetry
didn't follow that it broke that law. And it brought something that was extremely artistic, and
profoundly philosophical, and they couldn't keep up with it. And they will sit down and listen to
it. What the heck is this? What is this? Where is it getting this from? Who did this and they look
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:28
			back into their history which of the arranger said something like this and no one did. And the Quran
will come out up front and say forget to pick it up. Go ahead.
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:37
			To pick it up. You can't I shall see what I'm missing again. You can see what I'm missing here. You
can see what I'm in mystery. He just give anything anything. Go ahead, go ahead.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:39
			And they couldn't.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:24:18
			That helps you appreciate what it is that you read. Because the only thing they were good at was
their tongues. And the Quran came and mocked them and just mocked them. And if la meme raw it's,
there's a little bit of mockery in it to them. Go ahead. Here's your letters. I didn't. I didn't
make up a new line, which is your letters, the ones that you use to write your things go ahead,
bring something like this if you can, and they would read it. They couldn't the Prophet alayhi
salatu salam was standing pray in his in his backyard. And and the leaders of Quraysh who openly
opposed him would come and stand behind the wall listening to him. And one day, they bumped into
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:57
			each other. It was dark and it was quiet and Abuja had and it was of yarn. And then we looked at a
bumped into each other and what are you doing here? What are you doing here? What do you what are
you doing? What are you doing here? They're listening to him and he stood out to them stand behind
the wall recites selesa ilumi either been worked out a little carefully in La Silla. Houda Amin
Allah He didn't listen to it. Because the way that that that that rhythm that tone that
continuation, these small, short, concise little pieces of information that seems somehow to be
extremely well connected, to have that tone to them that have that similarity yet, it's telling you
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			a story that is extremely extremely intriguing and is kept
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:26
			debating, and they said we can't do this again, if you get caught, what are they gonna say about us?
We've been telling them that this is not something they should listen to. And they said yes, and
they swore they would never meet again. And then they would go, the each one would say the other two
aren't going to come. We agreed. So they will he would go and they would bump into each other
another night, and then bump into each other another night. And they had to like make me do
something different. To ensure that they they wanted to listen, they wanted to hear me but they
didn't want people to know that the that they wanted to hear, because there's something about this
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:29
			that they just had never heard before. I just want to sit on this. I want to tell you
		
00:25:31 --> 00:26:03
			this story I want to tell you, there was a man by the name of guy that benzo has been at the cinema
is the known poet is the known ninja he, the poet one of us have been more Aloka it's one of the
very people that I love, they love their poetry. They were so proud and arrogant and vain about
their poetry that some of the poems that were written, they wrote with the water of gold and hence
hung them in the Kaaba, and they were called the hungry ones. Why? Because they hung them in the
Kaaba, that's what they did. So how many of you cinema is one of the poets who had his Mala hung,
actually, the first thing a half of has to do in Syria at least Alright, the first thing I had to do
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:35
			I remember is the Quran is memorized his Metallica. I don't know, I don't know what to say, may
Allah have mercy upon there, I did it or not Yachty but that's what you have to do you have to
memorize is more Allah. It's filled with wisdom. There was very strong language, but it was very
long and took a lot of effort to memorize this poem. His son got it. And so he was a very famous,
famous poet himself extremely famous. And he said a few poems against the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was
Salam, because for a while he was against him. And the poetry that he said was actually quite heavy,
and he paid money to help fight the Prophet alayhi salatu salam for odf I mean, he is one of the
		
00:26:35 --> 00:27:09
			people who were who the Sahaba were given the permission. If you find him in the desert, you execute
people who who did certain things who murdered or participate in the bloodshed of Muslims were
Kadima, especially the leaders and goblins. So he was a great leader. And he did the heat, he paid
his money on the day of Zab on the day of conduct, and he participated. And then he lost all of his
sovereignty. He was no longer a leader, and he had to run he had to be on the run for a couple of
years when the when the, towards the end of the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam was late and he
wanted to way back, he wanted to a bank. So he spoke to one of us having as a hobby, I told him,
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:42
			what you do is you come you come to his message out of his salatu salam, and you perform like you
say something and he'll and ask for forgiveness and he'll grant you, he'll, he'll grant you
forgiveness. So he said, Yes, I'll do that. So he came to Medina. And he was all wrapped up his face
was all wrapped up. So no one could see him because if he was seeing he may be murdered immediately
but he executed he had there was a he and maybe another 15 people by the way, all the 15 people that
he put out Yanni rules of execution and none of them got killed they all they all made it he he
forgave all of them and he has said Allah Allah He was like there's no even other forgive, forgive
		
00:27:42 --> 00:28:17
			him and he came in and he would sit and he before anyone saw it, recognize any words begin to give
Yanni his poetry abandoned, so I'll do a kettlebell yoga mat board and we'll take him on Israa hull
and give them a Caboodle and he goes on this long, long poetry and when it's muddy had the Prophet
It is thought to solve the problem of it is that when you read it, the first 20 verses are just
talking about about his camel and where he lived and, and he just like what is where's the piece of,
it's like the introduction is longer than the casita itself and it's all just talking and the
Prophet It is thought to thrive in the midst of this course he has got to the border, if that's what
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:51
			the name of the casita is, and the reason and the profit that you saw at the end of it would take
off his Bisht, the board that that he was wearing, he would throw it at Cobbins O'Hara as a sign of
acceptance. And people for years never any those who studied the Buddha for the first couple of
generations never understood exactly why the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa salaam was so impressed by
what what kind of was st was saying, but the reason was that everything he was talking about in his
in his Casita, and this is the beauty of the Arabic of how about this, how strong their commendable
language was everything he was talking about in in Romans remembering his relationship with a lady
		
00:28:51 --> 00:29:26
			called smilodon he that he loved her and the place that they were when they were kids and his Chico.
He wasn't talking about that, specifically, it was symbolism to a time where he was respected a time
where he was a leader, a time where he had status, and how he lost all of that, like it was he was
using these terms to symbolize to tell a story about himself and of how he once had status and now
he has nothing and he's weak and he's vulnerable. The Prophet Allah, you sought to assume understood
a lot of them. So I was sitting there didn't they just call that book, a flood, when you start to
complete and you talk about your past? It's just you're remembering your past, and you're nostalgic
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:59
			towards your past? He wasn't. That's what it sounds like, if you don't understand what what he's
symbolizing. The navbar that he's talking about is not the camel. The NACA symbolizes his old life,
the life where he was a stallion, where he was a leader where he was strong where he ran the desert
where he could command things, and now he's not. So the Prophet Isaiah also heard what God was
saying, I am weak. Rasool Allah, I am weak. I've lost everything. Yes, I've lost you won, and I lost
and I have nothing. And I am the son of royalty. And I've always been royalty. Now I have nothing.
And I'm coming to you and of course there's a few more
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:38
			versus there may be three pieces of poetry that have some recognition of the profanity and stood out
to them. When their lawsuit Allah Newton, you still vote will be just, that's the only piece that he
talks about him, I don't know. But by the end of the procedure, the prop Valley is awesome through
his border. amonkar why it was a it was a symbol of you feel you feel mistreated, you feel that
you're vulnerable and you're weak here, I'm going to give you something that will keep your status
high and within your family until the day of judgment. The poem was called the border and that
border stayed with God and in cabs family for 500 years later. Till this day, that border still
		
00:30:38 --> 00:31:09
			exists within within within within his family, within his family. And again, you do not have status
anymore. You don't have to touch you don't have you're not you're not royalty Here, take this for
Allah Allah He bought the tassel Allah Allah sight, you sell them, he gave him back, he understood
what he wanted, he gave him back some status and cob instead walked in fearing for his life and
walked out with the with the border of the Prophet alayhi salatu salam that will stay as a monument
of the Prophet Allah is taught to us and respect and appreciation for him till the Day of Judgment.
That's his understanding of history that that's the level of his understanding. And that's the level
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:17
			of proficiency that the club had when it came to commanding their own language. So that's why I left
la meme Ra is about it's about this little
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:27
			undergoing ongoing challenge between the Quran and all of these proficient out of Go ahead. Let's
see what you can do. Do your best Give it your best shot.
		
00:31:28 --> 00:32:02
			And they never tried. Because every time they tried internally, they felt this is ridiculous. What
we're coming up with is meaningless. We can't seem to this is just a little bit different, but come
up with something but it's not. It's not it's not parallel to what this is. And that's and that's
that's why these letters are there. So he begins to panic. It's out of there soon. He says Tilka to
look it up. These are the verses of the book, the LF la membre. That's the verses of this book is
from these letters, nothing nothing new. We're not making anything up. Well let the owner de la la
Kamal Rob Biechele will help. And what has been descended upon you from your Lord is ill health. So
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:39
			right off the bat, this surah goes right into the to the topic. It goes right into, into
righteousness, what has been descended upon you, from your Lord is righteous is righteous, and this
is the heart this is the truth. Well, I can act on Nicaea you know, but unfortunately, a lot. Most
people they don't, they don't, they don't accept that yet. They have not internalized this concept.
They have no once you internalize that fact that this Quran is the is the only hook that exists that
is left in this dunya that you can actually touch and carry and read and and look at then things
will change for you. Once you see the Quran you have to truly see the Quran as the pure word of
		
00:32:39 --> 00:33:05
			ALLAH SubhanA pure Huck, and when you see it pure hop with no battle. You understand what that
means? You see, you can see it that way. But you may not understand what it is if you don't
understand what it is you don't have the ability to fully acknowledge or appreciate the magnificence
of what it is that you're in the presence of. So that's the first piece that's the introduction of
swords that one will recite and show the after, after Allah who led the law firm as DbyD Imad in

00:33:54 --> 00:34:31
			Allah subhanaw taala is the one who raised or held the heavens, or the skies with the cosmos believe
it and I didn't tell her how pillars that you see there no pillars that are holding them. Because
the only way we can understand how something is held above us, and in space with all of this gravity
that we live through is that there must be some killer somewhere that's holding all this up. Baby
lady Ahmed is a different law that keeps the cosmos where they are and the earth where it is, which
is now what we understand pretty clearly there's not a lot of difficulty for us to comprehend how it
works. But the Quran points out that is not through pillars. Because pillars is how we understand
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:59
			simplistically, the laws that rules that govern Earth where we sit here, the only way something can
be held above us is if there's a pillar in the middle of it to hold it up. If you take the pillar,
it comes crashing down that the cosmos above you. They're held there, they're where they are, but
not through pillars. What he's saying is this through other laws, it's not through the law that
you're used to. You'll find that out at some point or figured out later on, but it's not through
pillars because that's the only way out of where people understood how something could be held above
you without falling down. Right. That's why this
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:27
			Is there what Phil must do? Well, obviously then he established himself upon the auto ship on his
throne Subhana wa Tada. We do not similar, we don't see any similarities between Allah subhanaw
taala in between his creation, and He is beyond time and space, gender, and whatever he means by
this Tapana, which is something that he knows, and we don't necessarily fully understand it, whether
you accept the wording as it is, or you interpret it in a way that allows you to comprehend it by
saying that he establishes himself in in,
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:52
			in dominance or in control of his throne, however you want to look at it either approaches are
acceptable within Islamic theology as long as you don't, I need to draw similarities between Allah
subhanaw taala his creation was not gonna shumsa will come up and he created the sun and the moon
and made them at your service the sphere is to put something in service of something else. That's
what the scheme means.
		
00:35:53 --> 00:36:34
			And he uses the Supriya in the Quran, talking about opening balance equity and we talked about this
as a result of a few years ago. It's time for us to utilize each other's services. So we can benefit
from one another. Everyone needs everyone else you can't function if the whole world were engineers
things would not work if the whole world was doctors also same thing and keep on going etc. You need
people with different doing different things so that we can benefit was alkalies Giemsa will come
out he put the sun in the moon people service go to Luna Yejide edgeley Musa everything, everything
is rotating and running to a specific term to us perfect time. The Agilent Musa to a time where
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:35
			where it stops,
		
00:36:36 --> 00:37:05
			nothing is infinite, aside from him subhanho wa Taala everything else is finite and will end at a
certain point will stop doing what it's doing right now. There is a moment in time in a specific
place and space, where everything comes to an end. We know till this moment, you know at this point
that the universe is still expanding. And as this scholars study, scientists study this, the theory
that they have is that it will expand and that at some point it will stop expanding and then it will
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:39
			implode and come back down to whatever it started to be at the beginning. And this is the theory
that most scientists look at today oh item that is that is close enough to what Allah subhanaw taala
is explaining to us in the Quran, in terms of everything has a moment and it stops it's not going to
go on forever. You'd have Bureau number he takes care of business upon which he takes care of the
matters. You'll fall asleep and he details science for you. Like I like on video pa your OB come to
you know so that maybe you develop certainty in the fact that you will meet your Lord.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:47
			Without this piece of the story, there is no meaning for our existence.
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:50
			I talked about this yesterday in general we are just before Tel Aviv,
		
00:37:52 --> 00:38:27
			Allah subhanaw taala the moment you see mela Karim of the melodica you see gender you see now or you
see Allah subhanho wa Taala the whole point of this story becomes useless. There's no point of
belief anymore. There's no point of having pieces of evidence and following them and seeing where
they are pointing and then concluding something and allowing that conclusion that rational
conclusion that you came to the county to that you came to to drive your ethicality into your your
your morals and your values and your the way you live your life. Once you see it. It's not the man
anymore. It doesn't mean anything anymore. It's a normal as a quote that I think is really
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:34
			interesting. He will say no right to janitor one now right behind him is that the Imani? Was that
associati
		
00:38:35 --> 00:39:05
			if I saw agenda with my own eyes are not my Eman would not increase but my reverence would, my
degree of reverence would I would I would fear Him more Subhanallah What's it because now I have
something but not not my email and my email is Abdullah I don't need that for for my belief system
for my certainty, they are clean which is certain certainty you need you come to that conclusion by
looking at by observing these laws these first four verses and sort of the ride. They talk about the
laws that govern the world around you the cosmos that are held above the earth
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:44
			Allah subhanaw taala the service that the sun and the moon offer us everything moving in a specific
color Nigeria, Nigeria Musa everything moves do according to a specific rhythm to a specific tune to
a specific schedule. If that schedule did not exist, then life wouldn't exist. We know that for a
fact right now. If there's any difference in how the sun or the moon function or they were any
bigger or any smaller any farther away or any closer than none of this would have would have been
possible. We wouldn't be sitting where we we aren't we are today. So you don't build on ammo. He
takes care of business he he established himself upon his throne, he takes care of the matter and he
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:59
			details the signs for you. You firstly when I add these ayat, no the Signs of God the signs of his
existence of his oneness of his creation of His omnipotence and his omniscience. subhanho wa Taala
he details those for you
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:34
			I like him so that maybe maybe you come to a to a conclusion of certainty that you will meet him one
day that you will be resurrected. And you will come back and you will stand in front of Allah
subhanaw taala. And he will ask you what you did with the time that you had? How did you find this
experience that I gave you, this life that you lived? You got a lot was given to you and Allah was
expected of you as well. You have to answer for those questions, these laws that he talks about in
the students at the beginning of SUTA. Roger the laws that just exist, they're just there. They will
always be there. Don't build your Eman on something that is variable, build your Eman on something
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:41
			that is constant, these won't change. The only time these laws will change on the Day of Judgment.
That's the only that's when these laws will be broken.
		
00:40:42 --> 00:41:14
			That's when it comes to cool we're not when new German cars are not will devalue so euro will be
held to suit Jarrett. That's the only time when all these laws are gonna be broken and everything
and the sun ceases to exist and the moon cease to exist and the earth is destroyed in the cosmos or
collapse that aside from that these laws are consistent. It's through these laws that you believe in
Allah Subhan that you build your case in your understanding of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada if you build
your case, and understand and accepting Allah through some draw you made and that got accepted. If
that's what you build your faith on, then what happens the next time you make a DUA and you don't
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:23
			get expected immediately or they do is postponed later or it was not in the cards for you to get
this responded at the time that you asked for it. Then what happens
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:56
			don't build your email on something, something that is weak on matchsticks and then it all comes up,
build your Eman on something that is constant that is solid, like the fact that if I send our TV
lady I meant that Sakala shumsa will come out that colonial Genelia Gillian mucem That's what you
build it upon. And if you do that then insha Allah Allah come meaning if you do that then you might
come to a degree of certainty in meeting him well who will the middle or lower gyla fee her our CEO

you can do. And tell me if you can actually function there. Indeed there are signs there for people
to contemplate. I'll end with that inshallah. Tomorrow we will. We will go through the verses a
