00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			Today we will start a new cluster of
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			surahs.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			We're coming towards the end of the Qur
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:31
			'an.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			There's only basically two, three more groups, three
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:35
			more clusters.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			And they're going to go by Juz'ul.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			So the 20th Juz'ul is the cluster
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			and the 29th one is the 30th.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			So today we start with the Juz'ul
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:45
			28th.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			What we did in the last number of
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			days was a cluster that begins with Qaf
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			and ends with Hadeed.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			And it offers comparisons and choices and Surah
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:59
			Qaf talked about the big comparison of the
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			path of Jannah, the path of Nar, and
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			the path on the life that the life
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			path that we're going to choose.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			And whether we're going to be aware of
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			this or whether we're going to be oblivious.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			So compared between those who live with purpose
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			and those who live without purpose, and what
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			what type of life do you want to
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:16
			live?
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:21
			Surah At-Tur compared between those who are
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:25
			who have guidance and those who live a
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:25
			life without guidance.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			Surah Najm compared between living a life, walking
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			a path based on knowledge or walking a
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			path based on ignorance.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			Surah Al-Qamar looked at the difference between
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			using what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			you properly or turning it into a curse.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			Surah Al-Rahman looked at it from the
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			opposite direct in the opposite way with using
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave you
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			to make it a blessing or failing to
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			show gratitude and not being a blessing anymore.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			Surah Al-Baqarah compared the three types of
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			people Yawm al-Qiyamah.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			It compared the criteria based on which people
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			are judged in Dunya and then the criteria
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			upon which people are judged in Akhirah for
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			us to choose what group we would like
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			to be in on the Day of Judgment.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:10
			Surah Al-Hadeed compares spirituality and materialism and
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			asks us to balance between them.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			That's basically that cluster of surahs, a bunch
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			of comparisons and choices that we're going to
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			have to make and we're making every day.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			We're making them every day whether we do
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			it consciously or subconsciously.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			They're being made every day.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			This cluster of surahs is called Al-Mujadila
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			to Al-Tahrim, the 28th.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			It's a group of surahs that take upon
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:39
			themselves organizing life for the Muslim society.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			For the Muslim community, these surahs will organize
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			life for them, for us.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:49
			Our relationships between or with one another, our
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:52
			relationship with non-Muslims living with us, our
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			relationship with other groups that are around us,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			our relationship with our enemies, our relationship with
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			our allies, our relationships with our spouses, our
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:05
			relationships with our families, leadership in our society,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:13
			unity within our society, and true animosities in
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			our societies and the true dangers that our
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			societies face.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			Each surah is going to talk about one
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			of these aspects.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			So the surahs are very dynamic and they're
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			extremely relevant.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:30
			You know all of them from Al-Mujadila
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			until Al-Tahrim.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			So it was addressing the challenges the Prophet
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			ﷺ and the Sahaba were having on a
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			daily basis.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			Then it was organizing their life and you'll
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:46
			see it's very interesting to share with you
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			what they talked about.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			We'll start with the first surah in the
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			cluster which is Surat Al-Mujadila or Al
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:52
			-Mujadila.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:56
			Both pronunciations of the name are totally fine
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			and scholars have backed up both.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:04
			This first surah organizes the relationship amongst Muslims
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			within the Muslim society, amongst Muslims, getting rid
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:11
			of bad habits before Islam, getting rid of
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			bad habits that stuck around that will cause
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			oppression, that can cause hatred, that can cause
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20
			animosity, that can cause difficulty, making sure that
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			we have our priorities straight.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			So Surat Al-Mujadila is the kind of
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			the first surah within this cluster.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			It takes on the biggest of all issues
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			in organizing life for Muslims amongst each other
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			within their own society, looking at a number
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			of different angles and you'll see these different
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			angles as we go through the surah.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			It's called Al-Mujadila or Al-Mujadila the
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41
			dispute or the one who disputed.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			And it tells us a story at the
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			beginning I think it's worth sharing with you.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:49
			A lady called Khawla bin Tha'laba, she's
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			one of the Ansar Muslim ladies and she's
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:55
			a lady who grew up with Islam, who
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			learned the Qur'an from the Prophet ﷺ,
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			who learned Islam from the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			And then one day her husband got upset
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			and he said something that was known back
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			prior to Islam, known as Zihar.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			It doesn't exist anymore Alhamdulillah.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			There are other alternatives that do exist that
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			are just as bad.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			But I'll give you an example but I'll
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			explain to you what this means.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			Zihar is when a man would say to
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			his wife, Ante alayaka wahri ummi, meaning you
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			are to me as my mother is to
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:23
			me.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			What he means by that is there will
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			be no relations between you and I, no
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			sexual relations between you and I, she is
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:30
			a spouse.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			This was used as a method to oppress
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:35
			women.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			This was a very, you know, sneaky method
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			that men would use.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			Because if he's telling her you are to
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			me like my mother is to me, well
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			what is she going to say?
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			I don't want to be like your mother.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			I'm better than what your mother is.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			She can't say that, it looks really bad.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			At the same time now she's living with
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			a man who she has no relations with.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			She's neither married nor divorced and it was
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			just a way for men to oppress women
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			and to force them to do what they
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			wanted.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			Now this lady who had learned from the
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:10
			Prophet ﷺ the truth within Islam immediately felt
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			that this was completely wrong.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			That this is not possible to be within
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			this new Islamic society.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			It's impossible for this to be something that's
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			okay.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			So she goes to the Prophet ﷺ and
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			says this is what my husband said.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			The Prophet ﷺ didn't have ruling yet.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			So he said I need some time to
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			you know to wait for Jibril.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			But she argued.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			She disputed.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			She didn't say okay I'll wait.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:33
			No, no.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			She started to argue with him.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			What do you mean you need time?
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			How could you need time for this?
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			This is something that's obvious.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			It needs to be ended right away.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			And you may think well that is extremely
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			inappropriate and rude.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			This is the Prophet ﷺ himself.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			Allah ﷻ says قَدْ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ قَوْلًا لَّتِي
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			تُجَادِلُكَ فِي زَوْجِهَا وَتَشْتَكِي إِلَى اللَّهِ Indeed Allah
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			ﷻ has listened and heard the dispute and
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			the argument of this lady who's talking about
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			what her husband did to her and she
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			is raising her issue to Allah ﷻ.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:03
			وَاللَّهُ يَسْمَعُ تَحَاوُرَكُمَا And Allah ﷻ is hearing
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			you, Ya Muhammad and her, you know, discuss
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:06
			the issue.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِعٌ بَصِيرٌ And then immediately the
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			ruling came down.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			Making Zihar haram.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			Something that is completely unacceptable Islamically.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			And if the man does it then he
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			has to pay you money.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:18
			He has to perform.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			He has to give a kaffarah.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			He has to pay him his way out
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			of it.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			It's a sin and he has to find
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			a way to get his way out of
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			it through performing certain actions.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			The first bad habit that was left in
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			this Muslim society, this new Muslim society was
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38
			the oppression of wives and their homes.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			The first thing that Surah Mujadidah talks about
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			is that that's going to end now.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			And Zihar was taken out of the picture
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			and it doesn't exist anymore in the form
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			that it used to exist in, alhamdulillah.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			At the end of that first page that
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			talks about the courage of Khawla ibn Thalibah
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			and the rulings that came.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:59
			He says يَوْمَ يَبَعَثُهُمُ اللَّهُ جَمِيعًۭا فَيُنَبِّئُهُم مِّمَا
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			عَمِلُونَ Those who act like that, who do
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:05
			these things الَّذِينَ يُظَاهِرُونَ مِنكُم مِّن نِّسَائِينَ وَالَّذِينَ
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			يُظَاهِرُونَ مِّن نِّسَائِينَ ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ مِّمَّا قَالُوا فِي
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:10
			تَحْرِيهُمْ وَقَبَتِهِمْ Those who perform the action of
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			Zihar, when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala brings
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			everyone, gathers everyone yawm al qiyam and reminds
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:18
			them what they did in this dunya, أَحْصَىٰ
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:21
			اللَّهُ وَنَسُوهُ Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			accounted for all of it.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			It has been accounted for.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			Everything has been properly accounted for.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			And yawm al qiyam, you're held accountable based
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			on أَحْصَىٰ.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			He knows subhanahu wa ta'ala exactly what
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			happened.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			وَنَسُوهُ And they forgot.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			How many bad things have we done in
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			our lives and we forget about them?
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala أَحْصَىٰ.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			No, it's documented.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			It's documented, it's calculated, and it's there.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			And yawm al qiyam are going to find
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:51
			it.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:56
			أَحْصَىٰ اللَّهُ وَنَسُوهُ It's a very scary verse
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			in Surah Al-Mujadidah.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			So that's the first part of Surah Al
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			-Mujadidah, talking about the relationship between a man
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03
			and his wife.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			Went after that.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مَا يَكُونُ مِن نَجْوَةٍ ثَلَاثَةٍ
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:14
			إِلَّا هُوَ رَابِعُهُمْ وَلَا خَمْسَةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ سَاتِسُهُمْ
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			وَلَا أَدْنَى مِن ذَٰلِكَ وَلَا أَكْثَرَ إِلَّا هُوَ
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			مَعَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كَانُتُهُمْ مَن يُنَب يَوْمٍ يَمَا
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			عَمِلُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			interjects with the verse reminding us that He
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			knows all these dalamishes, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			There are two people talking or three people
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			talking, He is the fourth.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:28
			If there's five people talking, He is the
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			sixth.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			When He is listening, nothing that you say
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			in secret goes unknown to Him, Subhanahu Wa
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			Ta'ala.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			He's going to remind you of it all,
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			Yawm al-Qiyamah.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			And then the verses talk about najwa, secret
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			counsel.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:47
			The worst thing for a society is for
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:51
			there to be a lot of secret counsels.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:55
			Take it from someone who suffered with this
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			to experience.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			The worst thing by far is when you
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:04
			have a society where people have meetings, they
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:08
			talk about things, and then they break away
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:12
			into small secret counsels and they talk on
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:12
			their own.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:14
			And that is how, if you want to
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:15
			ruin something, do that.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			If you want to ruin something completely, you
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			want to ruin relationships, you want to ruin
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			progress, you want to ruin your community, just
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			do that.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:25
			Say, have meetings, talk about things, and then
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
			go break off and do your own thing.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			Have your secret little counsels and talk about
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			things and agree to what you want to
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			agree, and the politics never end.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35
			أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَىٰ الَّذِينَ نُهُوا عَنِ النَّجْوَةِ ثُمَّ
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:39
			يَعُودُونَ لِمَا نُهُوا عَنْهُ وَيْتَنَاجَوْنَ بِالْإِثْمِ وَالْعَدْوَانِ
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			وَمَعْصِيَةِ الرَّسُولِ وَإِذَا جَاؤُوْكَ حَيَوْكَ بِمَا لَمْ يُحَيِّكَ
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:45
			بِاللِّبِهِ اللَّهِ وَيَقُولُونَ فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ لَوْلَا يُعَذِّبُونَ اللَّهُ
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:49
			بِمَا نَقُولْ حَسْبَهَا الْجَهَنَّمَةِ You want to see
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			the people who are told not to perform
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			your secret counsel.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:52
			And they keep on doing it.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			And it causes them to talk about things
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			that end up different, sinful.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:58
			وعدوان and transgression.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			ومعصية الرسول and going against what the Prophet
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			ﷺ explained.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			And then they forget what they were taught.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:04
			And they come and they say what they
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			shouldn't have said.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			And then they wonder why is it that
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			Allah ﷻ is not punishing if it's wrong.
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10
			Punishment will come يوم القيامة.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13
			يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِذَا تَنَاجَيْتُمْ فَلَا تَتَنَاجَوْا
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:17
			بِالْإِثْمِ وَالْعَدُوَانِ وَمَعْصِيَةَ الرَّسُولِ وَتَنَاجَوْا بِالْبِرِّ
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			وَالْتَقْوَى If there's going to be secret counsel,
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20
			then make sure.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			Make sure that all that's being said is
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:22
			khayr.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			All that's being said is birr and taqwa.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			And if anything negative is going to come
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			up, it should come up in the larger
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			meetings where everyone can hear it.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			And it's direct and it's not hidden.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:33
			It's not building up hatred.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:44
			This is an extremely important piece of advice
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:44
			that exists in the Qur'an.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:50
			I can tell you by years of experience
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			that this makes a huge difference.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			This type of behavior is detrimental.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			You'll find it as you go through life
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			and school and work.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			This is something you're going to face all
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:00
			the time.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			Small groups that come together and they have
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:03
			their own meetings.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04
			They have their own counsel.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			You're not there.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			And this najwa hurts.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:14
			This najwa, when there's secret counsel happening and
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			there's someone standing right beside you, it bothers.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			Because that person can't hear.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			They feel left out.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:22
			They feel targeted.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:24
			Whether it's happening in front of them or
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:25
			whether it's happening elsewhere.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:27
			But they hear about it.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:27
			They know about it.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			If they're not included, they feel that.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			That's what the surah is trying to explain.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37
			Secret counsel is sinful because of that.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:41
			Because it makes the person feel left out.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:37
			Surah Al-Zariyat Surah
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:48
			Al-Ahmad Surah
		
00:13:48 --> 00:14:35
			Al-Jateed Surah
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:42
			Al-Tahmin Surah Al
		
00:14:42 --> 00:15:09
			-Mujadila When
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			her husband said to her in a fit
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			of anger, He said to her, you're on
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13
			my mother's back.
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:17
			She understood the Qur'an correctly and strongly
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			to the extent that she knew that this
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21
			couldn't be acceptable in a Muslim society.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			This was part of her ignorance.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			Islam couldn't accept this injustice.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			What does it mean, you're on my mother's
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:27
			back?
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:28
			Or the protest?
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:29
			Or the manifestation?
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:34
			The man wanted to injustice his wife.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			So he said, you're on my mother's back.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			You and my mother are equal.
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:39
			I'm closer to her than you are to
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:39
			me.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			She couldn't object.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:43
			If she did, he'd say, you don't like
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			to be with him like his mother?
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:49
			If he said that, it would be a
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:49
			social insult.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			And he wouldn't be close to her.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:54
			She's neither married nor divorced.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			He imprisoned her for this injustice.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			It's a hellish idea.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			Men with women.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			They have a slave in their hands.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			They found a way to injustice.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:06
			So she went to the Prophet.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:07
			What did she ask him?
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			Is this halal or haram?
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:13
			The Prophet didn't have a say in the
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:13
			matter.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			She just argued with him.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			The Surah was named Al-Mujadila.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			Because she argued.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			It's not a shame to argue with the
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:20
			Prophet.
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			Allah has heard the words of the one
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			who argues with you about her husband.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			And you complain to Allah.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			Allah hears your arguments.
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			Allah heard the argument.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			If it was Omar bin Al-Khattab, she'd
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			stop him on the road.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			So she argues with him for an hour.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:33
			And he's standing there.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:37
			He says to her, You've overestimated the believers.
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:38
			So she says, shut up.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			Allah heard her words from above the seven
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:42
			heavens.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:45
			If it was Omar, he'd listen to her.
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:46
			May Allah be pleased with him.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			So the verses of prohibition were revealed.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:52
			The first paragraph in Surah Al-Mujadila.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:55
			Prohibition of injustice between spouses.
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:56
			Prohibition of injustice between spouses.
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			In the new Muslim society.
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			A Muslim doesn't harm his wife.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			So this prohibition was removed.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
			Alhamdulillah, it's still there now.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			Of course, men found other ways to harm
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:04
			women.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			But this is free, at least.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			He learned how things should be.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			Allah said at the end of the paragraph,
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			When Allah sends them all together, they will
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			be informed of what Allah has calculated for
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:14
			them.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:15
			He calculates.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:16
			If you forget, it's okay.
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			But he calculates.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:20
			The next paragraph is prohibition of conversation.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:24
			When people gather and talk about a matter.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25
			Then two people come out and talk to
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			each other.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:29
			And they talk about iniquity, aggression, and disobedience
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:29
			to messengers.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			And they change what they agreed on.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:35
			And the conversation, my brothers, had a very
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			negative impact on societies.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:37
			How nice.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			The impact of the conversation.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			When people gather and agree on something.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			Then a small group of three or four
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:43
			people come out.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			And they talk to each other.
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:46
			And they agree on something new.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			Or they change what they agreed on.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			Or they change their feelings.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			Or the way they look at what has
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:53
			been done.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			And they corrupt.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			By Allah, societies corrupt because of this.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			But if there is a need for conversation.
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			Then don't talk about iniquity, aggression, and disobedience
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:01
			to messengers.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			Talk about righteousness and piety.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			And fear Allah, to whom you will be
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:04
			gathered.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:06
			Conversation is from Satan.
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			To hurt those who believe.
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			If a person talks to a group of
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:10
			people.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			Then a group of people leave.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:14
			And they talk to each other.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			Either in front of him or away from
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:16
			him.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:17
			And they realize that they are talking to
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:18
			each other.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			Without that person.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			This hurts the believer.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:24
			And this is in the organization of relations
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:24
			between Muslims.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			In societies, the issue is not only about
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			etiquette.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			In Surat Al-Hujurat, there was a discussion
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			about etiquette.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:31
			Here, it is not about etiquette.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:32
			Here, it is about organization.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			People agree on something.
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			Then a group of people leave.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37
			And they talk about something different.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			This causes a lot of harm to people.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			And it corrupts the unity of the class.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			Allah says, O you who believe, when it
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			is said to you, فَفْسَحُوا فِي الْمَجَالِسِ فَفْسَحُوا
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			يَفْسَحِ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ إِذَا قِيلًا شُزُوا فَانْشُزُوا يَرْفَعِ
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:57
			اللَّهُ لَذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ هُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَاتٌ
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00
			وَاللَّهُ خَمْيَهُمْ لِمَا تَعْبَلُونَ If you are asked
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			in a sitting or in a majlis when
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04
			you are around people to open up space
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			for those who are coming in.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:06
			Then open up space.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:07
			If you are asked to kind of take
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			a smaller amount, do that.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:10
			Allow people in.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			This was a big deal.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			This was an issue of honor.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			This was an issue of integrity.
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			This was an issue of respect.
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19
			Muslims weren't all from the same family.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:20
			Weren't all from the same city.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			Weren't all from the same heritage and lineage.
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			Weren't all from the same background.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			They weren't all from the same socio-economic
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:27
			status.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			But when you are asked to open up
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			space for people to sit then you should
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:32
			regardless of where they come from.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:35
			This concept of making sure that everyone has
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36
			a place.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:39
			It's trying to explain everyone has a place.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			Not because you are there first and not
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:43
			because you have higher status and they are
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			not allowed to sit.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:45
			No.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			Every Muslim comes, he has a place.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			He has a place amongst us.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			We make place for him.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:51
			We make space for him.
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:52
			This is what the ayah is teaching.
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:57
			All Muslims, their input is valuable and they
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			have the right to be where we are
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:02
			and where the Muslims are just like everyone
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:02
			else.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			And it's not judged any other way.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:08
			Because this wasn't like that prior to Islam,
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:09
			by the way.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			The elders would choose who were allowed to
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			enter and who weren't allowed to enter.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			And Islam changed that.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:21
			Give space to let people sit.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:22
			Let people exist.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:27
			Let people share the space and share the
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29
			conversation and the discussions.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:32
			The command after that.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35
			يَا يُّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نَاجَيْتُمُ الرَّسُولُ The relationship.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			So we can see now the relationship between
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:40
			Muslims and their spouses.
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			Muslims amongst each other when they are trying
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:44
			to make decisions.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:47
			Muslims and other Muslims in the realm of
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:47
			making decisions.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			Muslims and their leaders.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:53
			إِذَا نَاجَيْتُمُ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْنَ جُوَاكُمْ صَدَقَةً
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:57
			ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ وَأَطَهَرٌ أَشْفَغْتُمْ أَنْ تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:00
			يَدَيْنَ جُوَاكُمْ صَدَقَاتً فَإِذْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا وَتَابَ اللَّهُ
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			عَلَيْهُمْ تَقِيمُوا صَدَقًا Respecting the time of leaders.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:06
			The Prophet ﷺ had people tugging at his
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:07
			thoat day and night.
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			Everyone wanted a piece of him.
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			Imagine if he existed today.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			Everyone has a question.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			Everyone has a million questions.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			And of course they're not going to want
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			to ask Abu Bakr or Umar or Uthman.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:19
			They'll ask the Prophet ﷺ himself.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			They want to go to the source.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			So the Prophet ﷺ has always asked for
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:24
			secret counsel.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			And the Prophet ﷺ was too polite and
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:30
			too kind to turn people down and that
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:30
			tired him.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			So the Qur'an came and made some
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:33
			organizing.
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
			He said, okay, if you're going to do
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			this, then every time you make najwa with
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			the Prophet ﷺ, give salakah.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			First of all, that is...
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			Look at the adab here in the Qur
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:42
			'an.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			Our leaders, that's how they should be.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			Whatever it is, whatever services you do, should
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:49
			in every form and manner be reflecting positively
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			on the society.
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			Give salakah if you're going to spend time
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			with the Prophet ﷺ in secret.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			If you can't give salakah, then wait.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			Wait for the general Muslim and that makes
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:58
			his life easier.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			So the number of people who came to
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			him decreased and the amount of money that
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			was being put into the society of khair
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:04
			increased.
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:08
			This is the teaching of Surah al-Mujadara.
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			The whole juz'ah is like this.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			Just organizing the life of Muslims.
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:15
			Unfortunately, we don't really know much about this
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			juz'ah and we don't really practice anything
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:17
			that's in it.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			But if you were to take these concepts
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:20
			that the juz'ah is teaching and start
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			practicing it within our society, you would see
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:22
			change.
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:27
			This is one way to get money into
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:30
			the Muslim society rather than fundraising day and
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			night, all the time.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			5,000 people trying to put their hands
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			into your pockets all year round.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			Instead of that and everyone getting frustrated and
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			tired and too many things happening all at
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42
			once and nothing actually coming to completion and
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			fruition and nothing actually going for the society.
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			There are different ways of doing it.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			And this is what the Qur'an gave
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:48
			us.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:51
			You want najwa, you want to give sadaqah.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:51
			Not to the imam.
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:53
			You're not giving the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:53
			You're paying him for it.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:55
			You're giving it back to the society.
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:19
			These are all matters that have to do
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:19
			with space.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:26
			The verse says, Everyone has the right to
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:27
			sit with you.
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:29
			If a Muslim has the right to be
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:31
			present, to hear his voice and to be
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:31
			a participant.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:35
			It's not about his race, or his lineage,
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37
			or his wealth, or his tribe.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40
			As long as he's a Muslim, he has
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:43
			a place among you and you make room
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:43
			for him.
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:47
			This is literature and this organization is important.
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:48
			Everyone has a role.
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:51
			We don't just choose a certain group that
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:51
			has an opinion.
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			No, everyone has an opinion.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			Everyone has a space.
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:56
			Everyone has a space.
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			Everyone has a space to give.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03
			This is an important issue in the society.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06
			If we turn it into a simple group
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:10
			of people who make decisions and discuss these
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:12
			issues, this will corrupt the society.
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:13
			We've seen this.
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:15
			And who doesn't realize this?
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			It's too late.
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:19
			The train has left and the issue is
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:19
			over.
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:23
			The next verse is about the relationship between
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:24
			Muslims and their leader.
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:28
			The leader is tired of asking too many
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:28
			questions.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			When you call upon the Prophet, give him
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:31
			charity.
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:35
			The effort that the leader puts in is
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:35
			for the sake of the community.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			So the leader's fatigue is reduced and the
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39
			community's fatigue is increased.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:40
			It's a strange system.
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:45
			It's better than the ways of collecting money
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			that are being done today.
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			This is the existing Qur'anic method.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:50
			It's not being used.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:51
			I've never seen it being used.
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			I've never seen it being used to reduce
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:59
			the work of the leaders so that their
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:02
			mobile phones don't explode and they don't feel
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			tired of asking too many questions.
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			At the same time, the leader's fatigue is
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:06
			reduced and the community's fatigue is reduced so
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
			that the material pressure and the work of
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			Dawah is reduced.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:12
			The verses after that continue.
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:14
			And it gives an example and it points
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:18
			out the importance of keeping the alliances with
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20
			those who are close to you, with the
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:20
			Muslims.
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			Your alliances first have to be with Muslims.
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			It can't be with others first.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:27
			لَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوْا قَوْمًا غَضِبَ اللَّهُ
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:30
			عَلَيْهِمْ مَا هُمْ مِنْكُمْ وَلَا مِنْهُمْ يَحْلِفُونَ عَلَى
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:33
			الْكَذِبِ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:35
			Look at those who are looking for alliances
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			outside of their Muslim brotherhood.
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			They are not a part of who the
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:40
			people they're going to look for alliances for.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42
			Neither are they a part of them.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:44
			Even though there's just a very short talk
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:46
			about alliances with non-Muslims.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:47
			Explain it to us how it's supposed to
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:48
			happen.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			But you as a Muslim individual in this
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:54
			society organizing your alliance has to be with
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:54
			the Muslims.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			Your connection has to be with the Muslims.
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:59
			Your best friends, the time that you spend,
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			the money that you spend, the direction that
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			you have has to be focused on strengthening
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:05
			your Muslim community, your Muslim society.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			That's what this ayah is saying in a
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:08
			very harsh tone.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:12
			يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُمُ اللَّهُ جَمِيعًا فَيَحْلِفُونَ لَهُ كَمَا يَحْلِفُونَ
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:15
			لَكُمْ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ The problem of
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:17
			lying to yourself that you are but you're
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:17
			not.
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:20
			And then يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُمُ اللَّهُ جَمِيعًا Some people
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			will lie to Allah.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:22
			They have lied to themselves to the point
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:24
			where they believe their own lies and they're
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:24
			so lost.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:25
			They have no idea who they are anymore
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			and they'll come and they'll lie to God.
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			And Allah ﷻ will have to show them
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:30
			what they've done to their lives.
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:33
			Extremely scary part of the surah.
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:37
			The last verse of the surah.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:41
			لَا تَجِدُ قَوْمًا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ يُوَادُونَ
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:45
			مَنْ حَدَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَوْ كَانُوا أَبَاؤُهُ And
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:46
			you won't find people who truly believe in
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:49
			Allah ﷻ and the Prophet and the Hereafter
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:53
			who are allies, who are extremely close, who
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:56
			love those who are in combat with Allah
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:57
			and His Prophet.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			Those who are against Islam, those who are
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:01
			fighting Islam, those who are trying to harm
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:02
			Muslims and harm Islam.
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			You don't find Muslims who actually love them
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:07
			in the sense of supporting them.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			Not love in the sense of the feeling
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
			but love in the sense of support, of
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:13
			alliances.
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			The Qur'an is very clear on that.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:16
			Even if they are their fathers or their
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:20
			brothers or their wives or their children, doesn't
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:20
			matter.
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:26
			Your loyalty, first and foremost, is for Muslims
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:26
			and for Islam.
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:29
			This is what Surah Al-Mujaddid is explaining.
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:31
			It's an organized thing for us.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:32
			You're not allowed...
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:35
			There is no ghulm inside the Muslim family.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:38
			There is no secret council in Muslim gatherings.
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:43
			There is no hierarchy in the Muslim process.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45
			You must respect your leaders and they have
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:48
			to be treated properly and they have to
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			be treated humanely.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53
			Your alliance has to be towards Muslims and
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:57
			those who choose a different alliance, then your
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:00
			loyalty is always towards your community and towards
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:01
			the Muslims that are in your community.
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02
			That's what Surah Al-Mujaddid explains.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:04
			It's a very rich surah.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:05
			Extremely interesting and strong.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			And I would advise everyone to go back
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:08
			and read and learn from it.
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:09
			I think there's much more in it than
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:10
			what I offered.
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:11
			I hope what I talked about today was
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			of benefit.
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			سُبْحَانَكُمْ أَهُمُ وَفِي حَمْدِكِ شَرُّهُ لَا إِلَٰهِ لَا
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			إِلَٰهِ إِلَّا أَنْتُ أَسْتَغْفِرُكُ وَاتُوبُ إِلَيْكُ وَصَلَّىٰ وَعَلَى
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:18
			مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِيُّ وَصَحِبِ اجْمَعِينِ زَاكُمُ اللَّهُ خَيْرٌ
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:22
			بَارْكُمْ وَفِيكُمْ السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
