00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			بَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ وَبَارِكَ عَلَىٰ نَبِيِّنَا وَحَبِيبِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَىٰ
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:08
			آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ وَبَعْدَ Today we will talk
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			about two surahs inshallah We're coming close to
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			a point where we're going to have to
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			do two every night Tomorrow hopefully will still
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			be just one But then after that slowly
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			I'll have to do two in a row
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			because we don't have enough time until the
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			end of the month But these two are
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			worthy of putting together a sharh and a
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			team Yesterday I talked about surah al-duha
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			and I explained the scenario that surah al
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			-duha produces or puts forward for us Which
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			is how to deal with the difficulties in
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			life And all these small surahs, qasar al
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			-mufassal, from al-duha to an-nas Are
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:44
			just small doses, fixes of Islamic values, Islamic
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			concepts, Islamic scenarios Things to do, things to
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			understand, things to hold on to They're like
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			little pills wallahi You take them every morning,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			just keep the ideas clear, reinforce them in
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			yourself, in your heart So that they stay
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			clear and that you're able inshallah to practice
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:03
			them properly And every surah that we're going
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			to read until the end of the quran
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			is going to be very similar It's a
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
			very concentrated dose of guidance from Allah subhanahu
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			wa ta'ala With a very specific idea
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			that is explaining, very specific goal and theme
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			that is trying to get across Juz al
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:20
			-amma basically, the final juz that summarizes all
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			of the values of the quran All of
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			the ideas that the quran talks about in
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			length and in depth In the other parts
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			of it It's divided into four groups, the
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			first group, the first three surahs It talks
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			about the fundamentals of, or the principles of
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			having a faith Or embarking on a journey
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			of belief or believing in something The second
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			group of surahs talked about the sanctity and
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			importance and accountability of choices And just talked
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			about choices, which I think is very interesting
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			and important And then the third group, from
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			al-tariq to al-layl, talked about the
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			islamic tools And it gave us tawakkul and
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:54
			tasbeeh and mujahada And having a proper understanding
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:58
			of the events of life and consistency of
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			ethics And it talks about tazki and it
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			talks about taqwa The seven tools that I
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			think every muslim should have within their toolkit
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:09
			To face life and deal with life And
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12
			these final surahs from dhuha to an-naas
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:16
			Are just small, extremely important concepts and ideas
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			and values that we carry And today we'll
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			talk about two of them We'll say the
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:22
			shurah and surah al-tin Al-shurah, he
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			says, subhanahu wa ta'ala أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:31
			صَدِرَكَ وَوَضَعْنَا عَنْ كَوِذْرَكَ الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ وَرَفَعْنَا
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:35
			لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرَى That's the
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:39
			first piece of it Whenever a surah begins
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			with أَلَمْ, that's a question There's always a
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			background story that you may not be aware
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			of That sometimes you have to either read
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			about or imagine The Prophet ﷺ must have
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			been thinking of something Because no one starts
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:55
			a conversation with أَلَمْ أَلَمْ تَرَكَيْفَ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			You don't start, you don't come and meet
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			me for the first Or begin a conversation
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			with me by saying Did you not, or
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			have you not Usually there's something else that's
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			going on If we're at that point in
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			the conversation where you're asking me أَلَمْ تَفْعَلْ
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			أَلَمْ تَقْرِحْ Then there must have been something,
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			we're already halfway through We've been talking about
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			something before Now these surahs just don't talk
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			about that background So it gives you the
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			ability maybe to imagine it or to understand
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			it Or to comprehend it on your own
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			So what the surah is saying is very
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26
			simple It's a very clear and simple message
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			in surah al-sharh The Prophet ﷺ was
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			worrying He was worrying about the future He
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			was worrying whether what he was doing was
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			the right thing Whether what he was doing
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			was proper Whether he was putting enough effort
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			Whether he was going to be able to
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			actually carry the da'wah forward Whether it
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			was going to be too heavy Whether he
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			was going to be able to actually get
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			the job done He had all these worries
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			of the future ﷺ Because he was given,
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			as surah al-muzzammil explains قَوْلًا فَقِيلًا It's
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			a very heavy message he was asked to
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:58
			carry ﷺ So Allah ﷻ is trying to
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			put him at ease By saying, why are
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:01
			you worrying?
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			Why would you worry about all this?
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			Do you understand that the number of variables
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			that exist for you to worry about are
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:08
			infinite?
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			You can spend the rest of your life
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			worrying about everything Everything can go wrong You
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			have no idea how many different ways things
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			can go wrong It's an infinite number of
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			ways that things can go wrong So Allah
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			ﷻ is telling the Prophet ﷺ Why are
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			you worrying?
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			Didn't I open your heart for Islam?
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			Didn't I give you this message?
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			شرح الصدر is a linguistic complex in Arabic
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			That means, put your heart at ease towards
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			something Allow you to accept it Allow you
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			to love it Allow you to actually want
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			to embrace it Because sometimes يضيق الصدر You'll
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			have the opposite complex in the Arabic language
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			Where you don't really want it Where you
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			don't feel comfortable about it Where you're being
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			kind of eased or pushed into it Or
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			forced into it And you don't really want
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:53
			to do it Like someone who comes to
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			the Masjid because they want to And some
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			who are brought by their family and they
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			don't want to And it's very simple Some
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			مشروح الصدر They're there because they want to
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			be there And some يضيق الصدر Because they
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			don't want to be there And Allah ﷻ
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			is telling the Prophet ﷺ Why are you
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:06
			worrying?
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			Didn't I open your heart for this?
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			Even though it's very complex, it's very heavy
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			You're literally carrying the beacon Of all the
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			messengers and all the prophets that ever came
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			before you You're the final one You have
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			to do it right Meaning if anyone made
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			a mistake before It can be overlooked Because
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			someone else is going to bring the da
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			'wah right after them But you're the final
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			person You have to do this right If
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			you mess up, it's going to be a
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			big problem He's worrying about all this But
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			Allah ﷻ is saying Did I make it
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:30
			easy?
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			You embraced it immediately?
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:36
			أَلَمْ نَشْرَحَكَ صَدْرَكَ وَوَضَعْنَا عَنْكَ وِذْرَكَ الَّذِي أَنْقَضَ
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			ظَهْرَكَ And we have removed from you The
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42
			burden of your sin The sin that weighs
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			heavily upon you أَنْقَضَ ظَهْرَهُ The Prophet ﷺ
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48
			felt his sins were breaking his back نقض
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:53
			ظهر is basically breaking someone's back Obviously not
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:56
			literally but figuratively speaking And Allah ﷻ is
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			saying Did I not forgive your sin?
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			Did I not take away the sin and
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:04
			remove that Which you felt was a heavy
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:08
			burden upon your back وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ Did
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			you not also elevate your status And make
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			you خاتم الأنبياء Why are you worrying?
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:18
			فَإِنَّمَا عَلْعُسْرِ يُسْرَىٰ The ف here attaches this
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			verse to the verses before it Making this
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:25
			verse very personal to the Prophet ﷺ Meaning
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			this ayah Because of the ف that you
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			find there فَإِنَّ It's attaching it to the
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			words to the verses before it Did we
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			not open your heart towards this?
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			Did we not forgive your sins and elevate
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			your burden?
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			Did we not elevate your status and your
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			ذكر?
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			فَإِنَّمَا عَلْعُسْرِ يُسْرَىٰ Then you need to know
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			that with every ease With every difficulty there
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			will be ease With every difficulty there will
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			be ease And then the ayah after it
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:57
			is the statement Is the everlasting, ongoing, public,
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00
			general statement For everyone to understand and to
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:04
			take upon themselves And to accept فَإِنَّمَا عَلْعُسْرِ
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			يُسْرَىٰ So it's not repetition for the sake
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			of repetition No, the first one is addressing
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			the Prophet ﷺ specifically With every difficulty you're
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:15
			going to find ease Stop worrying That's the
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			theme of Surah Al-Sharh Don't waste your
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			time on this very useless activity of worry
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			There's always a healthy amount of concern There's
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			a healthy amount of concern you need to
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			have in life If you're carefree all the
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			time You're not going to make it anywhere
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			You're going to fail So there's a healthy
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			amount of concern But then there is an
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			unhealthy amount of anxiety and worry That can
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			come with a person's mentality And a person's
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42
			way of thought And this is useless This
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			is meaningless, it does nothing It literally just
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			makes your life span shorter It just makes
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			you more upset It makes you more miserable
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			It doesn't do anything for you That's why
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:54
			the second verse is public It's for me
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57
			and you فَإِنَّمَا عَلْعُسْرِ يُسْرَىٰ So this is
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			a statement, this is a law The law
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:01
			is that with every difficulty there will be
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			ease Now what is the biggest problem with
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			understanding this verse?
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			The biggest problem with understanding this verse Is
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:12
			acting as if it's saying That after difficulty
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			there will be ease That's what we're told
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			a lot of the time مَا بَعْدَ الْشِدَّةِ
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			إِلَّا الْفَرَجِ And that's true in many cases
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			And that's our assumption in Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:26
			ta'ala But that's not an infinite everlasting
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:29
			statement that you can say You can't say
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			that all the time Because sometimes there's a
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			shiddah and there's no faraj after it It
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:37
			ends with death Sometimes there's no solution Sometimes
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			the difficulty that you're in Is the difficulty
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			that's going to stick with you till the
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			end So how do you answer then?
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			What do you tell someone who has terminal
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:44
			illness?
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			And if you keep on telling him No
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			no after this will be ease, after this
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			will be ease What do you mean?
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			Ease as in I'll die and it'll be
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			better then?
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54
			Then okay that's fine But if you're alluding
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			to the point No no it'll get better
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			Things will go away, the difficulty will go
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:59
			away Not always In many cases in life
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			that'll be the In many of the situations
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			of life and scenarios that is the case
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			After difficulty ease will come But sometimes it
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:09
			doesn't Sometimes this is the end It's not
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			going to get any better This is what
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			it is and you're not going to see
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			anything better than this And you have to
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			be okay with it Then what is this
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:15
			verse saying?
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18
			This verse never said that after It's not
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			It's not after difficulty there'll be ease No
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:23
			no no he never said that subhanAllah And
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			that's not the goal of this surah To
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			allude people that there'll always be something better
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:31
			next If you mean by that And then
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			yes that's okay And that's totally fine That's
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			a good way of putting it I agree
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			But if you're alluding that somehow Every difficulty
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			in this life was going to be Followed
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			by an ease in this life for everyone
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			That's just untrue I can just give you
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:47
			many examples that are That are practical of
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			people who didn't Who didn't have ease after
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:53
			difficulty And that difficulty continued with them until
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			they passed away Then how do you understand
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:56
			the verse?
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			You understand it the way it actually is
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:02
			What it's saying It's saying with With every
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			difficulty There is ease Within the difficulty that
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08
			you're given Within it will be enough ease
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			for you to get through it That is
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			what this ayah is saying The statement that
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			Allah subhanAllah is making for all of us
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			Is that yes you're going to face difficulties
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			There are going to be misfortunes and hardships
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			There are going to be difficult times that
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			are coming your way Do not worry about
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			them If you waste your time worrying about
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			them You'll harm yourself You'll harm your body
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:31
			You'll harm your psyche and your mentality You
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:32
			don't do well if you worry about things
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			too much Then what do you do?
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			You just know this very clear statement that
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			Allah subhanAllah made Specifically to the Prophet a
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:41
			.s. He told him There is going to
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			be ease with your difficulties And then he
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			made it a nice big statement for you
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			and I As a general law that is
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:52
			non-debatable With every difficulty With it will
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			be enough ease to get you through it
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			You just have to look for that ease
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			Find it Embrace it And then you'll get
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:00
			through whatever you're going through You'll make it
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01
			You'll make it to the other side That
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:04
			is what he's promising subhanAllah He's not promising
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			after every difficulty You're going to find ease
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09
			Sometimes you don't Sometimes this is the end
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			This is the difficulty that ends it all
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			But within that difficulty Within it Within the
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			midst of it You'll find the ease That
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			will give you the strength To actually get
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			through that difficulty And make it to the
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			other side Not losing your faith Not losing

			The future can hold anything Literally anything Children
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:48
			worry by the way Parents don't notice that
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51
			Or forget that Parents forget that Children actually
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:56
			worry a lot Children Will worry about little
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:59
			things They hear their parents talk about If
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			parents are disagreeing Or fighting or saying something
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			The child hears it and they worry They
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			worry about their future They worry about their
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:08

00:12:12 --> 00:12:15
			about their stability Children worry And a lot
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			of the time You'll see a child behaving
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:18
			in a certain way And you'll wonder why
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:22
			I'll tell you why This child is worrying
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:26
			This child is not happy They're worried They're
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:27
			worried about what's coming next We start worrying
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			at a very, very young age We just
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			forget about it when we get older By
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			the time you're 30 Life has smacked you
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			around so much You don't remember what it
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			was like to be 10 anymore You have
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			no recollection of what it was like to
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			be When you were 10 and 11 So
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			don't blame your parents by the way If
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			your dad doesn't seem to understand what you're
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			going through It's not his fault He just
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46
			can't remember anymore Just life was Too much
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			was dished out to this person in life
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			He can't recall what it was like to
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			be 12 It's hard to remember I try
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			I work with youth a lot So I
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:57
			try to stay I can't anymore My baseline
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00
			is 16, 17 I have no recollection of
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01
			how it was to be before that You
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			just start forgetting So it's hard to relate
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			a bit more But maybe if we remind
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			ourselves or reminded Children do worry They worry
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			quite a bit These verses are helpful for
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			them Just like they're helpful for you You
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:14
			don't worry With difficulty there will be enough
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:17
			ease Trust that There will be enough ease
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			to get through that difficulty You just have
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			to look for it You just have to
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			be someone with the right mentality That this
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			Quran has been explaining and building for you
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			So that when you get that difficulty You
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:26
			find the ease within it You find your
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			space that you can exist within That difficulty
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			to get through it And you'll be fine
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:31
			And you'll make it to the finish line
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			You'll get across You'll get across the river
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:38
			And you'll find dry land So what is
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			he told Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam right after that?
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:43
			After this very general law That everyone should
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:47
			embrace and take فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبَ وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50
			فَرْغَبَ So instead of worrying Every time you
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			finish doing a good deed Start another one
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55
			فَانصَب Start one right after You finish doing
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			something good Okay فَرَغْت You're done?
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			Okay start something else Start the next one
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			Don't waste your time worrying About what may
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			come Or what may happen Or what you
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04
			may get to Or what you don't Or
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			how this will work out Or whether I
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			Am I going to find a job?
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			Am I going to graduate?
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:09
			Am I going to find a spouse?
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			Am I going to make enough money?
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
			Is my business going to work out?
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			Just do your thing فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبَ Finish
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:19
			one task Start the next وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَرْغَبَ
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			And make sure that you continuously Bring yourself
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23
			close to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala That's
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:24
			all you have to do That's all you
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			were ever asked to do You can just
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			do it Don't worry إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			You're going to be dished out difficulties Whether
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:30
			you worry about them or not You'll never
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			be able to predict What type of difficulty
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:33
			Is going to be dished out to you
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			By the way No matter how much you
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:38
			worry You can't actually You're not going to
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			be able to do it I dare you
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:41
			Try to imagine what's coming next You're always
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:42
			going to be wrong You're going to find
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			that You wasted all these hours Worrying about
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			something That never happened Something completely different happened
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			And you still got through it Because إِنَّ
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:51
			مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا Within that difficulty You found
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:52
			the ease So don't waste your time worrying
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:54
			Don't worry yourself to the point Where you're
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			ill And you're incapable of doing your job
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			And you're unhappy And you're miserable Don't do
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			that Don't do that That's not Islamic Allah
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			subhanahu wa ta'ala Has given you the
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:04
			remedy إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا بَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبُ
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَرْغَبُ When you finish one good
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			deed Start the next And just draw yourself
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			closer To Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala And
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			that is the That is the teaching Or
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			that is the message Of Surah Al-Sharh
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:18
			Beautiful message Very much worthy of Of us
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			all learning And teaching our children The second
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:24
			surah Surah Al-Tin He says subhanahu wa
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:25
			ta'ala He takes He makes three oaths
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:31
			وَالْتِينِ وَالزَّيْتُونَ I'll treat that as one وَطُورِسِنِينَ
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:37
			وَهَذَا الْبَلَدِ الْأَمِينَ Three oaths He's taking oaths
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala By three places on
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:44
			earth Tin was Zaytoon Tin is figs And
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:50
			Zaytoon is Zaytoon Olives Everyone knows Zaytoon So
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:53
			tin and Zaytoon are actually The fruit Or
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:58
			the food That is almost a hallmark Of
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			the holy land Of the land where Isa
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			Alayhis Salaam lived So what tin was Zaytoon
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:07
			That's where Isa Alayhis Salaam Was sent وَطُورِسِنِينَ
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			طور is the mountain سِنِين is Sinai You
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:13
			know Sinai You must have heard There are
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:16
			hospitals called by that The Jewish faith Called
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			their hospitals Mount Sinai Because that's where Musa
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:23
			Alayhis Salaam Received his revelation Alayhis Salaam وَطُورِسِنِينَ
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			It's not Sinin As in years No, it's
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:29
			Sinin Just make sure You recite that word
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:32
			properly وَطُورِسِنِينَ Not Sinin It's a name of
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			a place It's the place where Musa Alayhis
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:38
			Salaam Was given his revelation وَهَذَا الْبَلَدِ الْأَمِينَ
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:40
			And he's taking oaths Subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:43
			By this honorable country And he's of course
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			Talking to the Prophet Alayhis Salaam Who was
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			living in Mecca at the time And he's
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:48
			talking about Mecca Where the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:51
			Wasallam Himself received his revelation So he's taking
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:54
			an oath By the three places Where the
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:58
			last three prophets Known to humanity The known
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:01
			faiths Some people don't like The word Abrahamic
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
			faith So I'm not gonna use it Just
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			so I don't cause controversy Even though all
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			of the faiths Whether one way or the
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:08
			other They attribute themselves To Ibrahim Alayhis Salaam
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:12
			Obviously We don't believe that The way they
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			believe Or what they believe Is correct Or
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:15
			else we wouldn't be doing What we're doing
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			We know But these faiths One way or
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:22
			the other Attribute themselves Mistakenly or correctly To
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			Ibrahim Alayhis Salaam And they're the most known
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			faiths One of the most famous And if
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			you actually Put them all together They take
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			up more than Half of humanity So Subhanahu
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:33
			wa ta'ala Is taking an oath By
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:36
			the place Where the revelation To Isa And
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			to Musa And to Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			Ajma'een Was made The revelation that they
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:46
			got In an effort To take our attention
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50
			To the fact that All of these faiths
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:53
			Carried the same basic message And all the
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:55
			faiths before them But the ones before them
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			We don't have You don't have the Suhuf
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			of Ibrahim anymore You don't have the teachings
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			Of Hud or Salih or Shu'aib You
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:01
			just don't have These are the ones that
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			you have left All the teachings were the
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			same He brought Subhanahu wa ta'ala He
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:08
			sent these prophets With the same basic ideas
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:11
			His answer to this oath I swear to
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:15
			you By the By the area where Isa
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			Alayhi Salaam Lived in Palestine I swear to
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:20
			you By Mount Sinai Where Musa Alayhi Salaam
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:22
			Received his revelation I swear to you By
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:23
			Mecca where the Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam Received
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:27
			his revelation لقد خلقنا الإنسان في أحسن تقويم
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			Indeed We have created the human being In
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			the best method For the human being To
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:36
			serve his purpose That's what Taqweem means Taqweem
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:37
			has nothing to do With the way you
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			look Has nothing to do With the way
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:43
			You're physically created The Prophet Alayhi Salaam Was
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46
			very aware Back then That people were born
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:49
			With deformities This was known It wasn't like
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			They had never seen someone Born with a
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			deficit Or a disease أحسن تقويم If it
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:56
			means physical Well then that's A problem Because
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			what about Those who are born With diseases
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:02
			And lost limbs Are they not Of God's
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04
			creation Are they not Cared about No no
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			He's not talking about The way we look
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			That was never a part Allah Subh'anaHu
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			Wa Ta-A'la Is very Does not
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:12
			have a lot of Interest in صورنا وأجسادنا
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			In the way that we look In our
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:16
			bodies His interest is أعمالنا وقلوبنا He's looking
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			at The deeds and the hearts He doesn't
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			care about The rest of the stuff So
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			he's not talking about Taqweem as in the
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			way you look Taqweem comes from The root
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25
			of qiyam Or qaam Which is all through
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:26
			the Qur'an Which is a word that
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			is used Time and time again In the
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			Qur'an To describe Someone who's fulfilling Their
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:33
			purpose It means that You're going to fulfill
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			The purpose that you were Created to fulfill
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36
			Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la Is
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			saying I created you In the best way
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			In order for you To fulfill your purpose
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			What's your purpose?
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			That is the question That is the million
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			dollar question Do you have very Do you
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			have clarity On why you're here?
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			Do you have clarity On what What Allah
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:51
			Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la Wants from
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			you What He expects from you Why you're
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54
			alive And where you're going With all of
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57
			this If that's clear And your purpose is
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			clear to you Then this ayah is fine
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			This is an ayah You can easily embrace
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			And take upon yourself But if you don't
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:05
			If there's no clarity On that issue I'm
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			not really sure Why I'm alive I'm not
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:07
			really sure What Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:08
			-A'la Wants from me Then this ayah
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:11
			Becomes problematic Because we're not sure What He's
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:14
			talking about So we'll just call it He
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			created us In a beautiful image Which is
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			easier Because I don't have to Actually then
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			ask the question What exactly does He want?
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			If He created me In the best form
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			To serve a purpose The question has to
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			be Well what is What is that purpose?
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:26
			What does He want?
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			If He created me In the best form
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			He did He gave you enough intellect He
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:31
			gave you enough Cognitive abilities He gave you
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:35
			enough Social abilities He gave you enough Time
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			To actually serve a purpose A purpose that
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			He Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la Explained
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			throughout The Qur'an In almost every surah
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:44
			لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمِ You were
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			created In the best form In order for
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:49
			you To serve your Upper Your higher purpose
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:53
			ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَاهُ أَسْفَلَ سَافِرِينَ That that same human
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55
			being Is going to be sent down To
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:58
			the lowest of the low That human being
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:02
			Will have a nose dip Downwards He was
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			created To serve a high purpose But the
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:05
			human being Will have a nose dip Will
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			just go right down أَسْفَلَ سَافِرِينَ The lowest
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			of the low There's nothing under There's nothing
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			lower Than what this human being Will be
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14
			Not everyone though Because immediately Subh'anaHu Wa
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:30
			Ta-A'la Explains there's an exception It's
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:33
			a word that is very much It's misused
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:38
			a lot And it's misunderstood صالح عَمِلُ الصَّالِحَاتِ
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			Doesn't just mean For you to perform your
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:43
			prayers Or to fast Ramadan Even though those
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			are definitely صالحات But the word is much
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:46
			deeper than that If you were to buy
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:49
			Let's say you bought something From the Middle
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			East If it's not working What do they
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:51
			write on it?
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:54
			They stamp something If something's not working It's
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			broken They'll stamp something on it in Arabic
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:57
			You know what it is?
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:01
			غير صالح غير صالح What?
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			This is not a pious lamp?
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:04
			The lamp wasn't performing its صلاة properly?
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:06
			Why is it not صالح?
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			Well if you understand it as simply as
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			that It's just rituals Then yes, you're going
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			to find it hilarious But the Arabs know
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			If you understand the language You know that's
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:18
			a very appropriate word Because صلاة is dependent
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			on the purpose This lamp is صالح Not
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			if it prays If when you put it
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:26
			into a socket It'll actually give light A
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			car is صالح If when you sit and
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			turn it on It takes you somewhere If
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			it's not If it's just there to look
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			at It's not صالح anymore It has nothing
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			to do with piety It has nothing to
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:36
			do with relationship with God It has nothing
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			to do with being a good person It
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			just has to do With the fact that
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:43
			you are serving the purpose Serving the purpose
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:46
			it was created to serve initially So when
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:49
			he says وَعَمِلُ الصَّالِحَاتِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى He is
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:50
			referring to the fact That you're doing the
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:53
			deeds That He created you to do He
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			put you here to perform certain deeds To
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			do certain things To live a certain way
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:00
			To be a certain person So every human
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:03
			being Was created perfectly To serve that purpose
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			And then all human beings Will have a
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06
			nose-dip down To the lowest of the
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			low Because they'll follow their instincts And they
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:11
			won't serve their purpose Except Except Those who
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:14
			find God Himself And believe in Him And
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:17
			then Perform the deeds they were created to
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:21
			perform All of them So yes rituals is
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:22
			a nice big part of that A big
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:25
			chunk of that is صلاة وصيام وذكر وقرآن
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:28
			وحج Good A chunk of that as well
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:31
			is بِرِ الْوَالِدَيْنَ وصُلَة الرَّحِمِ A chunk of
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:33
			that is also مُجَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ The
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:34
			struggle that you put For the sake of
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			Allah In performing da'wah A part of
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			that is حُسْنِ الخُلُقِ وَالتَّقْوَى A part of
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			that is Starting a family And taking care
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:41
			of those around you A part of that
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43
			is Looking out for those Who can't look
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:45
			out for themselves All of that All of
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:48
			these things Are a part of عَمِلُ الصَّالِحَاتِ
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			If we take this word And we restrict
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:54
			it Which we have And restrict it Just
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			to a few rituals So as long as
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:59
			This person prays In the first line And
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:03
			then خَلَص He's good That's a part of
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:05
			it يا أخي You're far from You're far
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:07
			from Serving your purpose still You're far from
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
			it There's way more to be done You
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			were created For much more than that He
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:14
			told Adam إِنِّي جَاعِلٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ خَلِيفًا I
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			told him I put you here As a
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			successor You are here responsible For the well
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:21
			-being of the earth In my name Allah
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:22
			Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la is saying
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:24
			Oh Adam And all of his children In
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			my name You're responsible For the well-being
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28
			of this earth And everyone living on it
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			That's your job That's your purpose And he
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:33
			created you What he's saying لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:37
			فِي أَحْصَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ You were created perfectly To
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			serve that purpose We may be short We
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			may be fat We may be ill We
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			may look funny We may speak funny We
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:45
			may have all these Deficits and diseases But
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			with all of that You are still created
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:51
			As a collective human race Perfectly To serve
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:55
			that purpose The purpose of stewardship Of taking
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:56
			care of everything Of making sure that you
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			show Everything empathy And that you are giving
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:01
			You're treating everyone with righteousness And with justice
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			You're created for that You have all the
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:10
			tools You lack nothing To serve that purpose
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:13
			But most people رَدَدْنَاهُ أَسْفَلَ سَافِرِينَ Most people
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:16
			will just Go right down Just follow those
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			whims And those desires And those instincts And
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20
			just what they want To eat and drink
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:21
			And what they want to look at And
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:24
			listen to And whatever they want Whatever is
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			selfish for themselves Just go after that And
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:28
			that is worse You say Well why أَسْفَلَ
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:31
			سَافِرِينَ Aren't animals lower No they're not No
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:34
			they're not أُولَئِكَ الْأَنْعَامِ بَلْهُمْ أَضَلُ No they're
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			Some people are worse than Why Because animals
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:39
			Didn't have a choice The animal that you
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			see Following its instincts Has no choice That's
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			how it's created That's its purpose By the
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			way Its purpose is just To follow its
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			instincts And stay a part Of this beautiful
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:51
			ecosystem And keep life Moving around Properly Rotating
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:54
			And everything continuing But you and I When
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			we dip to that level When we do
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:59
			exactly What every other mammal Is doing on
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:00
			the planet We're going to be held accountable
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			Because we didn't have to And that wasn't
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:05
			the purpose Of our creation You weren't made
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			for that Why are you doing this Why
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:10
			are you wasting time In these low life
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			instincts When I created you For a higher
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:15
			purpose يَخِيرْ فَعَرَسَكْ Just look up Look up
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:17
			There's way There's way more to it There's
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			way more to you Than whatever it is

00:29:10 --> 00:29:13
			some other thing That doesn't fit We're forcing
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:15

00:29:15 --> 00:29:17
			for us This is not what We were

00:29:20 --> 00:29:22
			for you That fits you and I Perfectly
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:26
			This purpose This higher purpose Fits us perfectly
