As Salaamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu, Bismillah

00:00:48 --> 00:01:14

wa Alhamdulillah, wa Salatu wa Salaam wa

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17

Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu, Bismillah wa Alhamdulillah, wa Salatu

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

wa Salaam wa Rahmatullah.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

Last time we stopped at ayah number 26

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

of Surah Al-Kahf and we said that

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

there were a few points that were missing

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

or remaining that we would mention inshaAllah so

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

we'll begin from here.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:36

A'udhu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir

00:01:36 --> 00:01:40

Raheem Qul Allah…

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

Did we stop here?

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

Did we stop at this?

00:01:46 --> 00:01:51

We stopped at 26.

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

You finished 25.

00:01:54 --> 00:01:54

Okay.

00:01:56 --> 00:01:56

Okay yeah.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:23

Bismillah wa alhamdulillah wa salatu wa salamu ala

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

Rasulillahi wa barakatuhu.

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

So we stopped last time at ayah number

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

26 where Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A

00:04:29 --> 00:04:32

'la says, Qulillahu a'lam.

00:04:33 --> 00:04:34

Say that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A

00:04:34 --> 00:04:37

'la, He knows the best, He knows best.

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

Bimaa labithu.

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

How long they stayed, ayid Ashabul Kahf, how

00:04:42 --> 00:04:44

long they stayed in the cave.

00:04:44 --> 00:04:47

Lahu ghaybu al-samawati wal-ard.

00:04:47 --> 00:04:49

For Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la,

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

He has the knowledge of what?

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

The unseen of that which exists in the

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

earth, heavens and the earth.

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

Absir bihi wa asmi'a.

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

Most translations will say how perfectly He sees

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

and how perfectly He hears.

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11

There are two ways to translate this ayah.

00:05:11 --> 00:05:15

One of them is the common translation that

00:05:15 --> 00:05:19

is found which is, Absir bihi, that how

00:05:19 --> 00:05:25

acute and how perfect is Allah's sight and

00:05:25 --> 00:05:29

how perfect and absolutely acute is Allah Subh

00:05:29 --> 00:05:30

'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la's hearing.

00:05:31 --> 00:05:31

That's one way.

00:05:32 --> 00:05:40

The second meaning is, Absir bihi, the word

00:05:40 --> 00:05:44

bihi, the dameer of ha, the pronoun of

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

ha, it refers to the deen of Allah

00:05:47 --> 00:05:48

Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

So the meaning is, Absir bi deenillahi.

00:05:53 --> 00:05:57

I attain and gain foresight through the deen

00:05:57 --> 00:05:59

of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.

00:05:59 --> 00:06:02

Absir bihi, with what?

00:06:03 --> 00:06:04

Use your sight with what?

00:06:04 --> 00:06:09

Figure out and get things and clarity in

00:06:09 --> 00:06:13

your life and gain foresight with the deen

00:06:13 --> 00:06:14

of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.

00:06:14 --> 00:06:16

Absir bi deenillahi.

00:06:16 --> 00:06:19

So the ha is replacing the word deen

00:06:19 --> 00:06:20

of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

And use the deen of Allah Subh'anaHu

00:06:23 --> 00:06:26

Wa Ta-A'la to be able to

00:06:26 --> 00:06:30

understand and hear that deen of Allah Subh

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

'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.

00:06:31 --> 00:06:32

So two meanings.

00:06:33 --> 00:06:36

Absir bihi, how perfect is Allah Subh'anaHu

00:06:36 --> 00:06:37

Wa Ta-A'la with his knowledge and

00:06:37 --> 00:06:37

sight.

00:06:37 --> 00:06:39

And the second meaning is, use the deen

00:06:39 --> 00:06:41

of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.

00:06:42 --> 00:06:44

Wala yushrikoo fee hukmihi ahada.

00:06:44 --> 00:06:46

And if we think that anybody else has

00:06:46 --> 00:06:51

any say, if anyone else has any share

00:06:51 --> 00:06:56

or they are able to influence the commands

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

of Allah, the affairs of Allah.

00:06:59 --> 00:07:02

Hukmihi, his commands, nobody has any share in

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

that.

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

He decrees alone, free of any other influences

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

on him.

00:07:12 --> 00:07:16

Over here, we end this whole story of

00:07:16 --> 00:07:17

Ashab ul-Kahf.

00:07:18 --> 00:07:22

Now, there is an important lesson for all

00:07:22 --> 00:07:23

of us over here.

00:07:23 --> 00:07:27

Which is, that the ulema, they say that,

00:07:27 --> 00:07:29

how do we know, this entire story is

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31

what proves us that Allah is capable of

00:07:31 --> 00:07:32

bringing us back to life.

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

Great, so the entire purpose of the story

00:07:36 --> 00:07:38

is Allah is capable of bringing us back

00:07:38 --> 00:07:41

to life, as he did with Ashab ul

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

-Kahf.

00:07:41 --> 00:07:43

And he showed it to us 300 years

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

there on this earth, sleeping, and then brings

00:07:45 --> 00:07:46

them back.

00:07:46 --> 00:07:47

They go back to sleep.

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

So, with that, the ulema, they said, there

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

are three things that we need to take

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

away.

00:07:53 --> 00:07:56

Number one, is Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta

00:07:56 --> 00:08:01

-A'la is capable of all mumkinat.

00:08:03 --> 00:08:05

Allah is capable of all possibilities.

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

If it is possible once, it's possible again.

00:08:11 --> 00:08:16

If your existence was possible once, your existence

00:08:16 --> 00:08:17

is possible again.

00:08:18 --> 00:08:19

As a matter of fact, it is a

00:08:19 --> 00:08:23

much bigger task to create something the first

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

time, not the second time.

00:08:25 --> 00:08:27

So, if you came into existence, and you

00:08:27 --> 00:08:29

came into existence, and I came into existence,

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

and we all came into existence once.

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

And it's a mumkin, because you're a mumkin,

00:08:34 --> 00:08:35

you're a possibility.

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

You came into existence, then why is it

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

so difficult for this mumkin to happen again?

00:08:40 --> 00:08:42

Right, so number one, Allah is capable of

00:08:42 --> 00:08:43

all mumkinat.

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

Number two, is that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa

00:08:45 --> 00:08:54

Ta-A'la is fully aware of all

00:08:54 --> 00:08:58

the little and grand details of all the

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

possibilities.

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

So, he has absolute ilm of all of

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

this.

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

And third, is that if Allah Subh'anaHu

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

Wa Ta-A'la is able to do

00:09:10 --> 00:09:14

something for a moment, We say, in kullu

00:09:14 --> 00:09:18

maa kaana mumkinan husooluhu fee ba'dil awqaat.

00:09:18 --> 00:09:21

If something is possible for a second, then

00:09:21 --> 00:09:22

it is possible for eternity.

00:09:24 --> 00:09:25

If Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la

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

is capable to put us to sleep, and

00:09:28 --> 00:09:29

take our ruhs away.

00:09:30 --> 00:09:31

We all believe that, right?

00:09:31 --> 00:09:32

When you go to sleep, our ruhs are

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

taken away.

00:09:32 --> 00:09:36

If that possibility exists for a second, or

00:09:36 --> 00:09:39

for a few hours, then it can exist

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41

for, even after a longer period of time.

00:09:42 --> 00:09:45

And the removal of the ruh, and bringing

00:09:45 --> 00:09:47

back of the ruh, is absolutely possible.

00:09:48 --> 00:09:51

That's the summary of aqeedah-wise, what we

00:09:51 --> 00:09:52

need to learn from this story.

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56

Then, Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la,

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

then the entire conversation shifts.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:02

The story ends, now Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:10:02 --> 00:10:05

is being spoken to directly, by Allah Subh

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

'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.

00:10:07 --> 00:10:08

And Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la

00:10:08 --> 00:10:11

says to Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, Wasbir nafsaka.

00:10:12 --> 00:10:14

Hold yourself patiently.

00:10:15 --> 00:10:16

Wasbir.

00:10:16 --> 00:10:17

Hold yourself patiently.

00:10:18 --> 00:10:19

Stick patiently.

00:10:20 --> 00:10:21

With who?

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23

With those.

00:10:25 --> 00:10:35

They call on Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta

00:10:35 --> 00:10:36

-A'la in the evening, and at the

00:10:36 --> 00:10:39

night, in the mornings and the evening, in

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

the daytime, dawn time, and at the time

00:10:41 --> 00:10:41

of sunset.

00:10:42 --> 00:10:44

All they want is the pleasure of Allah

00:10:44 --> 00:10:45

Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

I'll first do the translation, and then we'll

00:10:47 --> 00:10:48

go and unpack it.

00:10:48 --> 00:10:50

Then Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la

00:10:50 --> 00:10:56

says, And don't overlook them for once.

00:10:56 --> 00:10:57

Don't overlook them.

00:10:57 --> 00:10:58

Don't neglect them.

00:10:59 --> 00:11:01

These people who are so connected to Allah

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

Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, don't neglect

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

them.

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

Why?

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

O Prophet of Allah, don't ever neglect them

00:11:12 --> 00:11:16

in the process of seeking dunya, or in

00:11:16 --> 00:11:19

the quest of seeking the beauty of this

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

dunya.

00:11:24 --> 00:11:27

And do not follow the one whom we

00:11:27 --> 00:11:31

have made his heart heedless from the remembrance

00:11:31 --> 00:11:32

of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.

00:11:33 --> 00:11:36

And what happens when you are heedless of

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

Allah?

00:11:36 --> 00:11:38

When you follow your desires.

00:11:41 --> 00:11:45

An affair of such person is of extreme

00:11:45 --> 00:11:46

total loss.

00:11:47 --> 00:11:49

Now there's a lot here to unpack.

00:11:49 --> 00:11:50

Number one, wasbir.

00:11:51 --> 00:11:54

The word sabr, the Arabs they used to

00:11:54 --> 00:11:59

say that, That an animal was patient, i

00:11:59 --> 00:12:03

.e. it ate less food, and provided more

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

than what it was given in terms of

00:12:05 --> 00:12:07

output of effort.

00:12:08 --> 00:12:09

That's called sabrat al-dabbah.

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

The animal sat, and it was able to

00:12:16 --> 00:12:18

provide all the service that you needed from

00:12:18 --> 00:12:21

the cattle, without being able to provide the

00:12:21 --> 00:12:24

ample sustenance that it needed.

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

And from there comes habs al-nafs.

00:12:29 --> 00:12:32

Wasbir nafsaka is to hold our nafs, to

00:12:32 --> 00:12:33

have control of our nafs.

00:12:34 --> 00:12:37

So first thing we know is, sohbah as

00:12:37 --> 00:12:40

-saliha, pious company, is an affair that requires

00:12:40 --> 00:12:41

patience.

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

It's not an affair that, you know, oh

00:12:44 --> 00:12:45

yeah, it's okay, we're going to be in

00:12:45 --> 00:12:47

the company of pious people, it's going to

00:12:47 --> 00:12:47

be so nice.

00:12:47 --> 00:12:49

It's going to be a chill session.

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

It's not a chill session.

00:12:51 --> 00:12:53

When you're in the company of scholars, when

00:12:53 --> 00:12:56

you're in the company of murabbin, and when

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

there are multiple of them, it is an

00:12:58 --> 00:12:59

affair of patience.

00:13:00 --> 00:13:01

Why is it patience?

00:13:01 --> 00:13:03

Because now you have to be measured.

00:13:03 --> 00:13:04

You have to be controlled.

00:13:05 --> 00:13:07

You have to hold yourself in a certain

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

manner.

00:13:07 --> 00:13:09

You have to speak in a certain tone.

00:13:09 --> 00:13:11

You have to behave in a certain manner.

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

I remember once we had a friend of

00:13:15 --> 00:13:19

ours, he's a really good brother, but like

00:13:19 --> 00:13:23

he's super jolly and always cracking jokes.

00:13:24 --> 00:13:27

And oftentimes, like, you know, even in certain

00:13:27 --> 00:13:29

places where there's a certain decorum to be

00:13:29 --> 00:13:31

kept, it's very difficult for him to keep

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

like that.

00:13:32 --> 00:13:35

So I remember we were having lunch with,

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

we had an al-Maghrib class or something,

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

and then afterwards, two or three speakers, and

00:13:40 --> 00:13:41

this was in the UK.

00:13:42 --> 00:13:44

So we were there, and this one person,

00:13:44 --> 00:13:46

he just carried on making jokes and stuff.

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

So one of the scholars that were there

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

was myself, three or four other people, and

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

we coincidentally were teaching different classes on the

00:13:52 --> 00:13:53

same campus.

00:13:53 --> 00:13:54

There was an al-Maghrib class, there was

00:13:54 --> 00:13:55

a class that I was doing, there was

00:13:55 --> 00:13:56

a class somebody else was doing, and so

00:13:56 --> 00:13:58

we all went for lunch together or dinner

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

together.

00:13:59 --> 00:14:01

So this person, he was like, I think

00:14:01 --> 00:14:04

we were 40 or 50, maybe 40, 50,

00:14:04 --> 00:14:05

and then he was in the end.

00:14:06 --> 00:14:08

So one of the scholars, Shaykh Akram Nadawi,

00:14:09 --> 00:14:11

he's like a very famous, well-known scholar

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

in Oxford University, and a'alim by all

00:14:13 --> 00:14:15

regards in the world today, of the Western

00:14:15 --> 00:14:16

world.

00:14:17 --> 00:14:18

Shaykh Akram was with us.

00:14:18 --> 00:14:21

So he saw that person, like, you know,

00:14:21 --> 00:14:24

he was constantly like, you know, so Shaykh

00:14:24 --> 00:14:25

is like, come.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:28

He's like, no, no, Shaykh, I'm perfectly fine,

00:14:29 --> 00:14:29

no, no.

00:14:29 --> 00:14:30

Come, come.

00:14:31 --> 00:14:32

No, no, I'm perfectly fine.

00:14:32 --> 00:14:33

Come, come.

00:14:33 --> 00:14:36

And he made him sit between himself and

00:14:36 --> 00:14:36

Shaykh Omar Suleiman.

00:14:39 --> 00:14:41

And then I was on the other side

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

and there was two other scholars.

00:14:43 --> 00:14:45

And this person, his demeanor changed.

00:14:46 --> 00:14:49

He was like, have some food.

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

Like, completely.

00:14:51 --> 00:14:54

A few minutes later, he's like, Shaykh, it's

00:14:54 --> 00:14:56

way too much pressure to sit between the

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

two of you.

00:14:56 --> 00:14:57

I need to go.

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

So he got up and he left.

00:14:59 --> 00:15:03

But that's, that wasbir nafsaka, that you know

00:15:03 --> 00:15:04

that when you're going to be in a

00:15:04 --> 00:15:08

company of people who carry themselves in a

00:15:08 --> 00:15:11

certain manner, in a decorum, you have to

00:15:11 --> 00:15:14

present yourself and you have to, it requires

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

that patience.

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

And from here comes musaba.

00:15:18 --> 00:15:21

It is not easy for us to come

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

to these sessions.

00:15:23 --> 00:15:25

But we come here because we get company

00:15:25 --> 00:15:26

from one another.

00:15:26 --> 00:15:29

Everybody is here for one purpose, to be

00:15:29 --> 00:15:30

able to understand the kalam of Allah Subhanahu

00:15:30 --> 00:15:31

wa ta'ala better.

00:15:31 --> 00:15:34

But then, right when you're about to do

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

that, the biggest thing that shaytan attacks you

00:15:36 --> 00:15:38

with, is it will give you a thousand

00:15:38 --> 00:15:41

things that will remind you, you need to

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

do right now.

00:15:43 --> 00:15:44

This is the attack of shaytan.

00:15:45 --> 00:15:46

You have to fight.

00:15:47 --> 00:15:49

No, no, no, we're going there for the

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

class.

00:15:50 --> 00:15:51

We're going there for this.

00:15:52 --> 00:15:52

Right?

00:15:53 --> 00:15:55

So, wasbir nafsaka.

00:15:55 --> 00:15:57

Now, who's being commanded?

00:15:58 --> 00:15:59

Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

00:16:00 --> 00:16:04

Who is the best example of piety for

00:16:04 --> 00:16:05

us in the world?

00:16:05 --> 00:16:06

Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

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

Right?

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

So, he shouldn't have any difficulty in these

00:16:10 --> 00:16:11

gatherings.

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

Right?

00:16:12 --> 00:16:15

Second, who is the value-add in this

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

majlis?

00:16:17 --> 00:16:19

Whenever we go to a sohbah, when we

00:16:19 --> 00:16:21

go to these places, we all benefit from

00:16:21 --> 00:16:21

one another.

00:16:22 --> 00:16:24

Rasulullah is the value-add.

00:16:25 --> 00:16:27

But he is being commanded, rather than the

00:16:27 --> 00:16:30

rest of them being commanded, vis-a-vis

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

through him, that even him who is at

00:16:33 --> 00:16:37

the pinnacle of piety and perfection of ubudiyah,

00:16:38 --> 00:16:41

even he is being commanded to go and

00:16:41 --> 00:16:45

sit with those people who remind, who are

00:16:45 --> 00:16:47

constantly in the dhikr of Allah Subh'anaHu

00:16:47 --> 00:16:48

Wa Ta-A'la, day in and day

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

out.

00:16:50 --> 00:16:51

So, then what about you and me?

00:16:52 --> 00:16:55

And we definitely are not the value-add

00:16:55 --> 00:16:56

in those gatherings.

00:16:56 --> 00:16:57

Right?

00:16:57 --> 00:16:59

We actually take away value from those gatherings.

00:17:00 --> 00:17:02

Second, who are these people?

00:17:03 --> 00:17:04

There is a backdrop to that.

00:17:05 --> 00:17:09

When Fath Makkah happened, Akhnas and few of

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

the other Quraysh Makkah, Muallafatul Qulub, these were

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

the people who came to Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi

00:17:14 --> 00:17:15

Wasallam, and was like, I want to accept

00:17:15 --> 00:17:16

Islam.

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

Okay, take 100 camels.

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

Okay, I'm a Muslim.

00:17:19 --> 00:17:21

Next person, take 50 goats.

00:17:21 --> 00:17:22

Oh, I'm a Muslim.

00:17:22 --> 00:17:24

These were Muallafatul Qulub.

00:17:24 --> 00:17:27

They accepted Islam because there was like a

00:17:27 --> 00:17:29

floodgate that opened.

00:17:29 --> 00:17:31

They had no choice but to become Muslim.

00:17:31 --> 00:17:34

So, Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was like giving

00:17:34 --> 00:17:37

them a lot of, it's called Muallafatul Qulub,

00:17:38 --> 00:17:40

to soften their hearts for Islam.

00:17:41 --> 00:17:41

Right?

00:17:41 --> 00:17:42

To soften their hearts for Islam.

00:17:43 --> 00:17:45

So, there's a lot of very interesting stories

00:17:45 --> 00:17:46

that happened in Fath Makkah.

00:17:46 --> 00:17:50

If you read that chapter with Rasulullah and

00:17:50 --> 00:17:52

the people who accepted Islam outwardly, but they

00:17:52 --> 00:17:54

still hadn't really accepted Islam.

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

Okay?

00:17:55 --> 00:17:58

So, one of the stories is, Akhnas and

00:17:58 --> 00:17:59

a few other people, they came to Prophet

00:17:59 --> 00:18:03

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and they said, look, if

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

you place us in the Sadr al-Masjid,

00:18:08 --> 00:18:10

Sadr is the chest, i.e. put us

00:18:10 --> 00:18:11

in the front of the gathering.

00:18:12 --> 00:18:14

Let us sit and let us be like

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

with you.

00:18:15 --> 00:18:16

Give us this position.

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

We are the Quraishis.

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

We are the leaders of Qateef and Taqeef.

00:18:20 --> 00:18:22

We are the leaders.

00:18:23 --> 00:18:26

So, give us that high status in Makkah.

00:18:26 --> 00:18:32

And then it says, لو أبعت هؤلاء People

00:18:32 --> 00:18:33

like who?

00:18:33 --> 00:18:39

Abu Huraira radiallahu anhu, Salman al-Farisi, Juraij,

00:18:39 --> 00:18:42

all of these Sahabis who were not very

00:18:42 --> 00:18:45

rich, but they were on the Nafqa, i

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

.e. Rasulullah was taking care of their sustenance.

00:18:47 --> 00:18:49

He would provide food for them, he would

00:18:49 --> 00:18:51

provide, but they were there as tulab al-'ilm.

00:18:51 --> 00:18:53

They did not have a lot of money.

00:18:53 --> 00:18:55

So, they said to Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,

00:18:55 --> 00:18:57

Ya Rasulullah, take these people, the poor people

00:18:57 --> 00:18:59

that you have, that are always close to

00:18:59 --> 00:19:01

you, put them, أبعت عنهم Get them away

00:19:01 --> 00:19:02

from us.

00:19:04 --> 00:19:05

لجالسناك We will sit with you.

00:19:06 --> 00:19:11

فإن ريح جبابهم تؤذين They wear these jubbas

00:19:11 --> 00:19:13

on top of their clothes, and, I mean,

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

they're not well kept, and there's some smell

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

that we're not accustomed to.

00:19:20 --> 00:19:23

So, the smell that comes from their clothes,

00:19:23 --> 00:19:25

تؤذين It causes us pain, and we don't

00:19:25 --> 00:19:26

like that.

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

So, what happens?

00:19:34 --> 00:19:38

When this ayah was revealed, they were speaking

00:19:38 --> 00:19:42

to Rasulullah like that, and this ayah was

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

revealed.

00:19:43 --> 00:19:45

This is one of the points that I

00:19:45 --> 00:19:47

mentioned at the beginning of Tafseer of Surah

00:19:47 --> 00:19:51

Kahf, that there are one or two verses

00:19:51 --> 00:19:55

that were revealed in Madinah, i.e. the

00:19:55 --> 00:19:56

time after Hijrah.

00:19:57 --> 00:19:59

This is one of those verses where there

00:19:59 --> 00:20:01

is an ikhtilaf, because we know for sure

00:20:01 --> 00:20:04

that this incident of that conversation took place

00:20:04 --> 00:20:05

after Fatah Makkah.

00:20:06 --> 00:20:07

So, this ayah is alluded to that, and

00:20:07 --> 00:20:09

every Mufassir have said this ayah is alluding

00:20:09 --> 00:20:10

to that fact.

00:20:10 --> 00:20:12

So, this is one of those ayahs that

00:20:12 --> 00:20:14

was revealed in Madinah, although it was part

00:20:14 --> 00:20:17

of Surah Kahf, but this particular incident was

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

revealed there.

00:20:18 --> 00:20:19

So, what happens?

00:20:19 --> 00:20:21

Rasulullah ﷺ, when this ayah was revealed, he

00:20:21 --> 00:20:25

got up immediately, and he said, قام رسول

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

الله لما نزلت When this ayah was revealed,

00:20:27 --> 00:20:31

قام رسول الله ﷺ He got up right

00:20:31 --> 00:20:32

away, left all of these rich people.

00:20:34 --> 00:20:36

يلتمسهم He was looking for all of these

00:20:36 --> 00:20:37

people that Allah talked about.

00:20:37 --> 00:20:41

يدعون ربهم بالغدات والعشي All of the Ashab

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

As-Suffah.

00:20:42 --> 00:20:44

He was looking for them, found them.

00:20:45 --> 00:20:49

حتى أصابهم في مؤخرة المسجد He found them

00:20:49 --> 00:20:51

in Haram, all the way at the back.

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

Because a lot of the Qurayshi people, the

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

new people that accepted, they would just push

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

them back.

00:20:56 --> 00:20:57

You're just poor people, just get back.

00:20:57 --> 00:20:58

Don't get close to us.

00:20:58 --> 00:20:58

Just go back.

00:20:58 --> 00:20:59

Just go back.

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

And Rasulullah ﷺ went and sat with them.

00:21:04 --> 00:21:05

And he said the following.

00:21:05 --> 00:21:11

He said, الحمد لله الذي لم يمتني Praise

00:21:11 --> 00:21:13

be to Allah that Allah did not take

00:21:13 --> 00:21:15

my life, did not take my soul.

00:21:16 --> 00:21:20

حتى أمرني My soul has not been taken

00:21:20 --> 00:21:22

until the command has come to me.

00:21:23 --> 00:21:28

أن أصبر نفسي مع رجال من أمتي معكم

00:21:28 --> 00:21:32

الحياة والممات I've been commanded to be patiently

00:21:32 --> 00:21:35

sit with you and with you is my

00:21:35 --> 00:21:36

life and with you is my death.

00:21:37 --> 00:21:41

So that's the context of why this surah

00:21:41 --> 00:21:41

was revealed.

00:21:42 --> 00:21:46

Now, where do we find these people?

00:21:47 --> 00:21:49

These are usually the people that you'll find,

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

the regulars of masajids.

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

We all know one or two of those

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

individuals that you always see them.

00:21:57 --> 00:21:58

You always see they're the first ones to

00:21:58 --> 00:21:59

open the masjid.

00:21:59 --> 00:22:00

They're the first ones sitting there.

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

They're the first ones, last ones to lock

00:22:02 --> 00:22:03

the masjid.

00:22:03 --> 00:22:04

Nobody knows them.

00:22:04 --> 00:22:05

They're not on the board of a masjid.

00:22:05 --> 00:22:08

They're not on any significant positions.

00:22:08 --> 00:22:10

They're just one of those no-name people

00:22:10 --> 00:22:13

that quietly come, open the door, go in

00:22:13 --> 00:22:15

the masjid, quietly go, close the masjid and

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

leave.

00:22:16 --> 00:22:18

Those are the people that we need to

00:22:18 --> 00:22:19

seek out and they're suhbah.

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

Even though they don't have significance, even if

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

they don't have significance in the world.

00:22:27 --> 00:22:31

يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَةٍ They seek

00:22:31 --> 00:22:33

nothing but the pleasure of Allah.

00:22:33 --> 00:22:36

They seek with their attachment with the salah,

00:22:36 --> 00:22:39

no positions in a board, no positions in

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

the masjid, no positions in the society, no

00:22:42 --> 00:22:43

ranks amongst the people.

00:22:44 --> 00:22:46

These are the silent goers of the masjid

00:22:46 --> 00:22:48

that exist in every masjid and that have

00:22:48 --> 00:22:49

no...

00:22:49 --> 00:22:50

They just come, pray and leave.

00:22:51 --> 00:22:52

Those are the people we need to seek.

00:22:53 --> 00:22:55

Allah ﷻ says after that, and the word

00:22:55 --> 00:22:57

يُرِيدُونَ, it's a really interesting word.

00:22:57 --> 00:23:00

We'll maybe elaborate a little bit on that.

00:23:01 --> 00:23:05

The word يُرِيدُونَ or the word يُرِيدُونَ The

00:23:05 --> 00:23:06

root word is what?

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

Who knows the root word?

00:23:08 --> 00:23:09

What are the three letters?

00:23:09 --> 00:23:18

ر و د مُرَاوَدَ رَاوَدَ مُرَاوَدَ رَاوَوَدَل

00:23:18 --> 00:23:22

And based on the conjugation, the و can

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

turn into ي and stuff, or الف.

00:23:25 --> 00:23:29

And from رَاوَوَدَل comes the word إِرَادَ إِرَادَ

00:23:29 --> 00:23:34

is something, or you know, إِرَادَ is basically

00:23:34 --> 00:23:41

when you desire something, or you want to

00:23:41 --> 00:23:42

head in a certain direction.

00:23:42 --> 00:23:46

But in Arabic language, إِرَادَ is مَبْنِي, it

00:23:46 --> 00:23:48

is built on a few things.

00:23:49 --> 00:23:55

It says إِرَادَ is مُرَكَّبَ It is مُرَكَّب,

00:23:55 --> 00:23:57

i.e. there are three elements in إِرَادَ.

00:23:57 --> 00:24:01

Number one, شَهْوَ There is a burning desire

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

inside.

00:24:02 --> 00:24:06

Number one, that شَهْوَ is coupled with حَاجَة

00:24:07 --> 00:24:11

شَهْوَ, burning desire, coupled with حاجة, which is

00:24:11 --> 00:24:11

what?

00:24:11 --> 00:24:12

Need.

00:24:13 --> 00:24:17

Number three, أَمَل and the hope and the

00:24:17 --> 00:24:18

desire to reach it.

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

Okay?

00:24:20 --> 00:24:25

So, burning desire, need, and أَمَل, hope to

00:24:25 --> 00:24:26

reach it.

00:24:26 --> 00:24:30

Those three things combined creates the word إِرَادَ

00:24:30 --> 00:24:31

in the Arabic language.

00:24:31 --> 00:24:36

So, these people يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ That means what?

00:24:36 --> 00:24:39

They are engulfed in the first element, their

00:24:39 --> 00:24:42

entire existence is for Allah SWT.

00:24:42 --> 00:24:45

Number two, they understand and they understand their

00:24:45 --> 00:24:47

need for Allah SWT.

00:24:48 --> 00:24:51

And number three, they have hope that Allah

00:24:51 --> 00:24:53

will take good care of them when they

00:24:53 --> 00:24:54

return back to Him.

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

That entire thing is encapsulated in the word

00:24:56 --> 00:24:57

إِرَادَ.

00:24:59 --> 00:25:03

وَلَا تَعْدُو عَيْنَكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا

00:25:03 --> 00:25:05

Do not look away from them, do not

00:25:05 --> 00:25:09

neglect them, in hopes of seeking and desiring

00:25:09 --> 00:25:10

the luxuries of the world.

00:25:10 --> 00:25:13

Would Prophet ﷺ ever desire luxuries of the

00:25:13 --> 00:25:14

world?

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

Then why I mentioned this ayah?

00:25:19 --> 00:25:22

Prophet ﷺ, for us, beautiful, vis-à-vis

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

through Prophet ﷺ and saying, why do we

00:25:24 --> 00:25:26

not want to sit with these type of

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

people?

00:25:28 --> 00:25:30

What is the first obstacle that comes in

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

this way?

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

Pleasure of dunya, desires of dunya.

00:25:33 --> 00:25:35

Those people have a lower rank, lower status,

00:25:36 --> 00:25:37

lower, like you know, they don't have a

00:25:37 --> 00:25:38

status in the society.

00:25:39 --> 00:25:41

So sometimes you're like, yeah, it's okay.

00:25:42 --> 00:25:44

It's, let's keep it aside, right?

00:25:45 --> 00:25:46

How do we know that?

00:25:47 --> 00:25:48

And then, by the way, these people have

00:25:48 --> 00:25:49

tons of barakah.

00:25:50 --> 00:25:53

They bring so much barakah to our masjid.

00:25:53 --> 00:25:55

They bring so much barakah to our gatherings.

00:25:55 --> 00:25:57

They bring so, they don't have, they have

00:25:57 --> 00:25:59

no significance, but they come with lots of

00:25:59 --> 00:26:00

barakah, right?

00:26:02 --> 00:26:03

And, subhanAllah, I know of a shaykh who

00:26:03 --> 00:26:05

used to run a masjid and he said,

00:26:06 --> 00:26:09

you know, during COVID, some of the board

00:26:09 --> 00:26:11

members came to him and said to him

00:26:11 --> 00:26:12

and said, shaykh, you know what, let's do

00:26:12 --> 00:26:13

a taraweeh of the rich people.

00:26:15 --> 00:26:16

You know, our top donors?

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

Let's do a taraweeh for them.

00:26:19 --> 00:26:21

Because, you know, we can only have 20

00:26:21 --> 00:26:22

people in the masjid, so the big donors,

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

you know, they have the haq.

00:26:24 --> 00:26:27

They have given 100,000, 150,000, so

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

let's do a taraweeh just for them.

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

So the shaykh is like, I don't think

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

that's right.

00:26:31 --> 00:26:32

We should open it up for every Muslim.

00:26:33 --> 00:26:35

But, at the end of the day, he

00:26:35 --> 00:26:37

was, you know, not convinced, but forced.

00:26:38 --> 00:26:40

And he did the taraweeh for the 20

00:26:40 --> 00:26:42

top donors of the masjid.

00:26:43 --> 00:26:46

And, obviously, they were expecting the masjid that,

00:26:46 --> 00:26:48

you know, mashaAllah, we invited the 20 people,

00:26:48 --> 00:26:50

they're the only 20 people selected for taraweeh

00:26:50 --> 00:26:50

and stuff like that.

00:26:50 --> 00:26:55

And they said that was the lowest fundraiser

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

that they have ever had in 20 years

00:26:57 --> 00:26:58

of the masjid history.

00:26:59 --> 00:27:02

Where the taraweeh were all those people, the

00:27:02 --> 00:27:05

top donors that have always donated, none of

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

them donated that night when they brought them

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

for taraweeh.

00:27:08 --> 00:27:09

Why?

00:27:09 --> 00:27:10

Because the barakah was lifted.

00:27:11 --> 00:27:12

So the shaykh is like, you know what?

00:27:12 --> 00:27:14

We still have one night of taraweeh left.

00:27:14 --> 00:27:15

He's like, all of you guys are not

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

coming.

00:27:16 --> 00:27:18

And he said, he did an open ilan,

00:27:18 --> 00:27:20

and he said, anybody, the first 20 people

00:27:20 --> 00:27:21

to sign up.

00:27:22 --> 00:27:24

And he said, subhanAllah, we got the regular

00:27:24 --> 00:27:25

musalli crowd.

00:27:26 --> 00:27:29

And that night, from the regular musalli crowd,

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

we collected more than we collected from the

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

top 20 donors.

00:27:32 --> 00:27:35

So it's not about pleasing and pandering to

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

the top donors.

00:27:37 --> 00:27:39

It's about the barakah that a person is

00:27:39 --> 00:27:43

not capable of bringing any donations, but he

00:27:43 --> 00:27:45

brings to your doorsteps, he brings to your

00:27:45 --> 00:27:48

gatherings, he brings to your homes, that barakah.

00:27:49 --> 00:27:51

So that's why we sometimes neglect such individuals.

00:27:52 --> 00:27:54

We don't give them special parking spots.

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

Right?

00:27:55 --> 00:27:57

But then you know if there is any

00:27:57 --> 00:27:59

dignitary ever attending a masjid, what happens?

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

Oh, wow, this spot is reserved for this

00:28:02 --> 00:28:03

person.

00:28:03 --> 00:28:06

Oh, they're going to come.

00:28:07 --> 00:28:09

But the regular musalli, who has that right?

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

Who cares about him?

00:28:10 --> 00:28:12

He's just the regular guy.

00:28:13 --> 00:28:14

So why do we do that?

00:28:14 --> 00:28:17

That we sometimes look at the zinat of

00:28:17 --> 00:28:19

hayat al-dunya, the trinklets of the dunya,

00:28:19 --> 00:28:21

and then we overlook these people.

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

...

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

...

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

And do not follow the one whose heart

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

has been ...

00:28:32 --> 00:28:33

has been made heedless.

00:28:33 --> 00:28:40

The word ghafalah basically means ghafalah is the

00:28:40 --> 00:28:45

qillah, or depletion of two elements.

00:28:45 --> 00:28:48

Number one, tahful, cautiousness.

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

You don't want to protect yourself.

00:28:52 --> 00:28:53

You're not cautious about protecting yourself.

00:28:54 --> 00:28:57

And number two is yaqadah.

00:28:57 --> 00:29:01

The person does not have a conscious mind,

00:29:02 --> 00:29:04

aware mind about Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:29:04 --> 00:29:07

In Arabic language generally, you will find that

00:29:07 --> 00:29:11

the words that begin with ghain, okay, generally,

00:29:12 --> 00:29:14

the words that begin with ghain, they have

00:29:14 --> 00:29:14

a meaning of what?

00:29:16 --> 00:29:17

Covering.

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

Okay, give me a word in Arabic with

00:29:20 --> 00:29:21

ghain.

00:29:22 --> 00:29:24

Ghabara, ghubar, something that covers dust.

00:29:25 --> 00:29:27

Ghar, that is covered.

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

Ghayb, that is covered.

00:29:30 --> 00:29:34

Ghamarat, planning under the darkness of the night.

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

Ghati, to cover.

00:29:39 --> 00:29:42

So, you'll see that the ghain has this

00:29:42 --> 00:29:44

overarching meaning all the time.

00:29:44 --> 00:29:47

So, gharak, to drown and the water covers

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

you.

00:29:48 --> 00:29:48

Right?

00:29:49 --> 00:29:52

So, ghafala is that state that we have

00:29:52 --> 00:29:54

become heedless of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:29:54 --> 00:29:55

Now, how do we know that we have

00:29:55 --> 00:29:58

absence of, we have ghafla in us?

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

That's a more important discussion.

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

And some of the scholars, they said, number

00:30:02 --> 00:30:06

one, if you find absence of zikr in

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

your life, which means what?

00:30:09 --> 00:30:13

You're sitting in a doctor's waiting lounge.

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

Right?

00:30:15 --> 00:30:18

Do you occupy that time consciously or unconsciously

00:30:19 --> 00:30:22

with taking out a tasbih or doing zikr

00:30:22 --> 00:30:26

or you read the reader's digest that's sitting

00:30:26 --> 00:30:27

on every doctor's, I don't know why they

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

sit in every doctor's office, but reader's digest.

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

Right?

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

What do we do?

00:30:32 --> 00:30:33

Or do we take out our phone?

00:30:35 --> 00:30:36

Do we get occupied with that?

00:30:36 --> 00:30:39

When we have moments of solace, when we

00:30:39 --> 00:30:42

have moments of no work, when, you know,

00:30:42 --> 00:30:45

your flight gets cancelled and now you're sitting

00:30:45 --> 00:30:46

in the airport for another two hours.

00:30:47 --> 00:30:48

What percentage of that time do we spend

00:30:48 --> 00:30:53

in productive zikr related activities and what percentage

00:30:53 --> 00:30:56

of time do we occupy by sometimes downloading

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

a movie and watching it?

00:30:59 --> 00:30:59

Right?

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

Like, oh, I'm not going to get it

00:31:00 --> 00:31:01

on the plane, right?

00:31:02 --> 00:31:03

Unless you fly Delta.

00:31:03 --> 00:31:05

Then you will get wifi for free.

00:31:07 --> 00:31:09

Absence of zikr, Abdullah Dada says, oh, free

00:31:09 --> 00:31:10

wifi in the plane.

00:31:10 --> 00:31:11

Wow.

00:31:12 --> 00:31:14

Absence of zikr in your life.

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

Okay?

00:31:16 --> 00:31:17

Why?

00:31:17 --> 00:31:21

Man akthara bi zikri shay'in ihtamna bihi

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

They say, if you have abundance of zikr

00:31:24 --> 00:31:28

of something you really take care of it.

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

For example, what is the price of gold

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

today?

00:31:33 --> 00:31:34

Who knows?

00:31:34 --> 00:31:35

What's the price of gold today?

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

Anyone?

00:31:39 --> 00:31:44

48 48 When was in summer?

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

Like, this summer?

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

Okay.

00:31:46 --> 00:31:47

June, July.

00:31:48 --> 00:31:49

What's the price today?

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

Eh, huh?

00:31:51 --> 00:31:52

Did you just check?

00:31:53 --> 00:31:55

Your wife checked for you?

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

How?

00:31:55 --> 00:31:57

Bro, that's like some serious connection with the

00:31:57 --> 00:31:57

wife.

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

Yeah.

00:31:59 --> 00:32:01

She checked this morning?

00:32:01 --> 00:32:02

Yeah.

00:32:02 --> 00:32:04

This has been an ongoing conversation, we can

00:32:04 --> 00:32:05

tell.

00:32:06 --> 00:32:09

So, if you ask what is the price

00:32:09 --> 00:32:11

of a gold with a gold trader, does

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

he know?

00:32:12 --> 00:32:14

A gold trader always knows.

00:32:14 --> 00:32:16

He's like constantly checking.

00:32:16 --> 00:32:17

Constantly.

00:32:17 --> 00:32:17

Why?

00:32:18 --> 00:32:19

Because he is muhtam.

00:32:19 --> 00:32:22

He is concerned about gold trade.

00:32:23 --> 00:32:24

So, he always remembers.

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

So, man akthara bi zikri shay'in.

00:32:27 --> 00:32:30

If you constantly remember something, you'd start taking

00:32:30 --> 00:32:31

care of it.

00:32:31 --> 00:32:34

If you constantly say, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar,

00:32:34 --> 00:32:38

Allahu akbar, la ilaha illallah, la ilaha illallah,

00:32:38 --> 00:32:41

there's no way that you will not start

00:32:41 --> 00:32:42

taking care of Allah.

00:32:43 --> 00:32:45

He will become important for your life.

00:32:47 --> 00:32:52

Then, the second part is when a person

00:32:52 --> 00:32:54

is told that this is haram.

00:32:55 --> 00:32:57

Or this is halal.

00:32:58 --> 00:33:00

How does your heart respond to it?

00:33:02 --> 00:33:06

When somebody says this is not allowed.

00:33:07 --> 00:33:09

And that not allowed was not known to

00:33:09 --> 00:33:10

you till today.

00:33:11 --> 00:33:16

And you have created perceived beliefs about it

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

being allowed.

00:33:20 --> 00:33:25

How does that simple not allowed, how does

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

that settle with you?

00:33:28 --> 00:33:29

And I'll give you an example of that.

00:33:29 --> 00:33:30

Right?

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

And this is something that happened in one

00:33:35 --> 00:33:36

of my trips.

00:33:37 --> 00:33:39

A sister came to me and she said,

00:33:40 --> 00:33:42

I want to go to work, but my

00:33:42 --> 00:33:43

husband says I can't.

00:33:44 --> 00:33:45

Do I have to listen to him?

00:33:47 --> 00:33:49

I said, in sharia, you have to.

00:33:50 --> 00:33:52

I'm not going to sugar coat it.

00:33:52 --> 00:33:54

No fiqh, no madhab, nobody's going to say

00:33:54 --> 00:33:54

it.

00:33:55 --> 00:33:57

Now obviously, there are adab in which the

00:33:57 --> 00:33:58

husband has to treat the wife.

00:33:59 --> 00:34:00

That's a discussion I need to have with

00:34:00 --> 00:34:01

the husband.

00:34:02 --> 00:34:06

But the first principles of that is that

00:34:06 --> 00:34:08

she's like, no, but this is my life.

00:34:09 --> 00:34:11

And I said, but Rasulullah ﷺ told you

00:34:12 --> 00:34:16

that if a woman has five traits, she

00:34:16 --> 00:34:19

will enter Jannah in whichever gate of Jannah

00:34:19 --> 00:34:20

she wants.

00:34:20 --> 00:34:21

Do you want to go to Jannah?

00:34:22 --> 00:34:22

She's like, yeah.

00:34:23 --> 00:34:25

I said, one of those conditions is, من

00:34:25 --> 00:34:29

طاعت بحالها Pray five times a day.

00:34:30 --> 00:34:32

So I said, now I can't sugar coat

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

this to you.

00:34:33 --> 00:34:35

Now, do you have examples of guys who

00:34:35 --> 00:34:36

take over advantages?

00:34:37 --> 00:34:38

100%.

00:34:38 --> 00:34:39

And that's a discussion we need to have.

00:34:39 --> 00:34:43

But we can't change our deen for the

00:34:43 --> 00:34:45

pleasure of one or the displeasure of others.

00:34:46 --> 00:34:47

And sometimes guys come to me and say,

00:34:47 --> 00:34:49

Shaykh, can you do a khutbah and say

00:34:49 --> 00:34:51

that it's absolutely haram for a woman to

00:34:51 --> 00:34:51

work.

00:34:51 --> 00:34:53

No, I can't do a khutbah on that.

00:34:54 --> 00:34:55

There were women that worked at the time

00:34:55 --> 00:34:56

of Rasulullah ﷺ.

00:34:57 --> 00:34:59

They worked, they were actually in battlefields.

00:34:59 --> 00:35:00

They took care, the woman that took care

00:35:00 --> 00:35:02

of Sa'd ibn Abi Waqas when he died.

00:35:02 --> 00:35:04

She was taking care of him.

00:35:04 --> 00:35:05

She was there on the battlefield.

00:35:06 --> 00:35:08

Obviously with the permission of her husband, but

00:35:08 --> 00:35:09

she was there.

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

She worked.

00:35:09 --> 00:35:11

So I can't say a blanket statement just

00:35:11 --> 00:35:13

to please a guy that this is haram.

00:35:15 --> 00:35:18

So the ghafla part of it is going

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

back.

00:35:18 --> 00:35:20

When I hear something which is halal and

00:35:20 --> 00:35:23

haram and I have a perceived belief, how

00:35:23 --> 00:35:26

does my heart react to that Allah's command?

00:35:28 --> 00:35:29

Do I say, yes ...

00:35:29 --> 00:35:31

or do I like, I need to figure

00:35:31 --> 00:35:32

out if there's another opinion on this.

00:35:33 --> 00:35:34

How do I react?

00:35:34 --> 00:35:37

Third is when sins are committed, when we

00:35:37 --> 00:35:40

commit a sin, do I feel remorse?

00:35:40 --> 00:35:43

Do I feel nadam, nadama in my heart?

00:35:43 --> 00:35:46

If any of these three exist, that Imam

00:35:46 --> 00:35:49

Ghazali used to say, that fa'alam, that

00:35:49 --> 00:35:51

you have a disease of ghafla in your

00:35:51 --> 00:35:51

heart.

00:35:52 --> 00:35:54

If any of these three exist in a

00:35:54 --> 00:35:56

person's heart, then know that there is some

00:35:56 --> 00:35:57

element of disease of ghafla.

00:35:57 --> 00:35:58

May Allah cure our hearts from ghafla.

00:36:01 --> 00:36:03

Imam Junaid ...

00:36:07 --> 00:36:11

Imam Junaid, he used to say, yes, question,

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

go ahead.

00:36:13 --> 00:36:14

Sure.

00:36:15 --> 00:36:17

Point number one, absence of dhikr in your

00:36:17 --> 00:36:19

life, absence of dhikr of Allah in your

00:36:19 --> 00:36:19

life.

00:36:20 --> 00:36:22

Point number two, when a halal and haram

00:36:22 --> 00:36:24

command that is new to me and that

00:36:24 --> 00:36:28

contradicts my perceived beliefs, how do I react?

00:36:29 --> 00:36:32

And number three, when a sin is committed,

00:36:32 --> 00:36:33

do I feel remorse or not?

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

If any of these three traits exist in

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

my heart, then may Allah cure all of

00:36:37 --> 00:36:38

our hearts from these diseases.

00:36:39 --> 00:36:40

If we have these, then we have a

00:36:40 --> 00:36:42

moment to reflect with our heart with Allah

00:36:42 --> 00:36:43

Subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:36:43 --> 00:36:47

Last part, Imam Junaid used to say, ...

00:36:47 --> 00:36:48

...

00:36:48 --> 00:36:48

...

00:36:49 --> 00:36:50

Imam Junaid was who?

00:36:51 --> 00:36:53

He was one of the ...

00:36:53 --> 00:36:59

He is actually all of the movements today

00:36:59 --> 00:37:01

of the madaris of Sufiyah, all of the

00:37:01 --> 00:37:04

Sufi madrasas, like every single one of them,

00:37:04 --> 00:37:06

whether it is Naqshbandi, whether it is all

00:37:06 --> 00:37:09

of the Sufi madrasas, they all trace their

00:37:09 --> 00:37:10

roots back to who?

00:37:11 --> 00:37:12

Imam Junaid.

00:37:12 --> 00:37:14

He was the early first three generations.

00:37:14 --> 00:37:19

Imam Junaid used to say that I, after

00:37:19 --> 00:37:24

studying the nufoos of people and Muslims, ta'maltu,

00:37:24 --> 00:37:26

I pondered and I looked at what is

00:37:26 --> 00:37:27

the greatest sin.

00:37:28 --> 00:37:29

I looked at somebody committing zina, I looked

00:37:29 --> 00:37:31

at somebody lying, I looked at somebody doing

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

gheeba, I looked at all of these sins.

00:37:34 --> 00:37:36

So he said, ta'maltu fee dhunubi ahlil islam,

00:37:38 --> 00:37:41

I pondered and I said, what, on all

00:37:41 --> 00:37:44

the sins of the people who are Muslims,

00:37:46 --> 00:37:51

falam ara, I did not find a sin,

00:37:52 --> 00:37:56

min dhambin a'dham, from a sin that is

00:37:56 --> 00:38:01

greater than the sin of ghafla, than the

00:38:01 --> 00:38:02

sin of heedlessness.

00:38:04 --> 00:38:06

And this is who, this is Imam Junaid

00:38:06 --> 00:38:08

and like the, you know, first three generations,

00:38:08 --> 00:38:10

like imagine us today, like where is our

00:38:10 --> 00:38:12

ghafla, we're like, we're like not even, like

00:38:12 --> 00:38:13

today if you would look at us, we're

00:38:13 --> 00:38:14

like, yeah these are mushriks.

00:38:15 --> 00:38:17

I'm serious, like you would look at us,

00:38:17 --> 00:38:18

you're like, you know, these are not even

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

Muslims.

00:38:18 --> 00:38:21

Like if this is, he's saying that in

00:38:21 --> 00:38:23

the first three generations that, subhanAllah there are

00:38:23 --> 00:38:24

too many ghafil people today.

00:38:27 --> 00:38:28

Where are we on that?

00:38:28 --> 00:38:28

Right?

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

Plain.

00:38:29 --> 00:38:30

May Allah give us hidayah.

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

Okay?

00:38:36 --> 00:38:39

So, wa la tuti'man aghfalna qalbahu an zikrina,

00:38:39 --> 00:38:40

for those, you know, that are here for,

00:38:41 --> 00:38:42

you know, or if you, just a reminder,

00:38:42 --> 00:38:44

remember we said if we come across a

00:38:44 --> 00:38:46

concept, the purpose of this tafsir is not

00:38:46 --> 00:38:47

to jump ayat.

00:38:48 --> 00:38:50

If there's a concept of ghafla, then I

00:38:50 --> 00:38:51

will try at least my best to be

00:38:51 --> 00:38:55

able to encapsulate a high level understanding so

00:38:55 --> 00:38:56

you walk away with a concept.

00:38:58 --> 00:39:00

Wa la tuti'man aghfalna qalbahu, do not follow

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

the one whose heart has been made heedless

00:39:04 --> 00:39:07

an zikrina from the remembrance of Allah Subh

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

'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.

00:39:08 --> 00:39:11

Wattaba'a hawa, what is the consequence when

00:39:11 --> 00:39:13

your heart is heedless from the dhikr of

00:39:13 --> 00:39:14

Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la?

00:39:14 --> 00:39:17

You automatically follow what?

00:39:17 --> 00:39:20

Hawa, you automatically follow your desires.

00:39:21 --> 00:39:23

And I'll give you a realistic example of

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

this.

00:39:25 --> 00:39:29

We were traveling, our family, and when you

00:39:29 --> 00:39:33

go from, and again, it doesn't matter what

00:39:33 --> 00:39:35

religion for now, if you are grounded to

00:39:35 --> 00:39:38

some form of religion, okay?

00:39:38 --> 00:39:40

Or some form of an ifa, some form

00:39:40 --> 00:39:41

of a religious narrative.

00:39:41 --> 00:39:45

That narrative has an effect on your human

00:39:45 --> 00:39:47

psyche and the way you behave and the

00:39:47 --> 00:39:49

type of ads you put on the highway.

00:39:51 --> 00:39:54

So when we drive to Canada, we can

00:39:54 --> 00:39:58

actually see the deterioration of religion as we

00:39:58 --> 00:40:01

keep driving up, the ads keep changing.

00:40:02 --> 00:40:05

So like, through Tennessee and through Kentucky, it's

00:40:05 --> 00:40:08

like Jesus is coming, you know, lust will

00:40:08 --> 00:40:11

kill you, there is no pride in pride.

00:40:11 --> 00:40:13

You know, messaging that are like, good messaging

00:40:13 --> 00:40:15

that we will, Jesus is coming, yes, yes,

00:40:15 --> 00:40:17

inshaAllah He's coming, right?

00:40:17 --> 00:40:19

Just not for you guys, for us, inshaAllah,

00:40:19 --> 00:40:19

right?

00:40:19 --> 00:40:21

So all of these messaging, you see that

00:40:21 --> 00:40:23

all on the board, right?

00:40:25 --> 00:40:26

Do you remember that one?

00:40:26 --> 00:40:27

Even the Democrats?

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

What was?

00:40:31 --> 00:40:33

Yeah, it said even the Democrats will accept

00:40:33 --> 00:40:33

Jesus.

00:40:33 --> 00:40:38

But you see the messaging, but as soon

00:40:38 --> 00:40:42

as we enter the northern states, the extreme

00:40:42 --> 00:40:45

democratic liberal states, as soon as we go

00:40:45 --> 00:40:46

to like, remember that coffee shop?

00:40:47 --> 00:40:49

We are in Michigan, we entered a coffee

00:40:49 --> 00:40:54

shop, profanity, like, yeah, just like naked pictures

00:40:54 --> 00:40:57

of these women and like, it's like LGBTQ

00:40:57 --> 00:41:01

flags, LGBTQ flags, because they will censor this

00:41:01 --> 00:41:01

again.

00:41:01 --> 00:41:03

Like, LGBTQ flags, right?

00:41:03 --> 00:41:06

All of this, and then when you come

00:41:06 --> 00:41:09

down to like, south, and you come to

00:41:09 --> 00:41:10

the coffee shops, I still remember, remember that

00:41:10 --> 00:41:12

small coffee shop we went to where there

00:41:12 --> 00:41:13

was a Christian coffee shop?

00:41:13 --> 00:41:16

And then this woman was there, and some

00:41:16 --> 00:41:18

guy, a random guy, he came in, he

00:41:18 --> 00:41:19

was swearing.

00:41:20 --> 00:41:21

And she, you know, this lady is like,

00:41:21 --> 00:41:24

excuse me, sir, my mama taught me that

00:41:24 --> 00:41:25

you can't swear.

00:41:25 --> 00:41:27

And I was just like, what just happened,

00:41:27 --> 00:41:29

like this, she's like, I won't serve you

00:41:29 --> 00:41:31

coffee if you're swearing in my coffee shop.

00:41:32 --> 00:41:35

So we see this ghafla, right?

00:41:35 --> 00:41:38

So what happens when our hearts are heedless

00:41:38 --> 00:41:39

from the remembrance of God?

00:41:40 --> 00:41:43

We follow our desires.

00:41:44 --> 00:41:46

And those effects of those desires become visible

00:41:46 --> 00:41:48

on the society you live in.

00:41:51 --> 00:41:54

And the fear of such person is a

00:41:54 --> 00:41:57

total loss, total state of loss.

00:41:57 --> 00:42:00

What time is it, I don't even remember,

00:42:01 --> 00:42:03

847, we can do the next ayah.

00:42:04 --> 00:42:05

Any questions about this ayah?

00:42:07 --> 00:42:07

Clear?

00:42:08 --> 00:42:08

Alright.

00:42:10 --> 00:42:10

Yeah?

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

Question?

00:42:13 --> 00:42:14

Okay.

00:42:16 --> 00:42:18

O Prophet of Allah, waqul, O Prophet of

00:42:18 --> 00:42:21

Allah, saying, alhaqqu min rabbikum.

00:42:22 --> 00:42:23

You want to know what the truth is?

00:42:23 --> 00:42:25

The truth comes from Allah Subhanahu wa ta

00:42:25 --> 00:42:25

'ala.

00:42:26 --> 00:42:27

Faman sha'a fal yu'min.

00:42:28 --> 00:42:31

If you want, then believe.

00:42:31 --> 00:42:33

Faman sha'a fal yakfur.

00:42:33 --> 00:42:35

And whosoever wishes, he can deny.

00:42:35 --> 00:42:36

Now this is not a choice.

00:42:36 --> 00:42:37

Nobody can come on the Day of Judgment

00:42:37 --> 00:42:39

and say, look Allah, you said in the

00:42:39 --> 00:42:41

Qur'an, believe or don't believe, so I

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

chose the second part.

00:42:43 --> 00:42:45

This is in, they call it, you know,

00:42:45 --> 00:42:46

this is rebuking.

00:42:47 --> 00:42:48

Faman sha'a fal yu'min.

00:42:48 --> 00:42:51

If you want to believe, go ahead, but

00:42:51 --> 00:42:52

if you want to take the other path,

00:42:52 --> 00:42:53

you will bear the consequence.

00:42:54 --> 00:42:57

It's not like an optional choice to a

00:42:57 --> 00:42:58

person to do that.

00:42:58 --> 00:42:59

Some people may believe that.

00:42:59 --> 00:43:02

No, it's actually in a rebuke manner that

00:43:02 --> 00:43:04

Allah is rebuking the people who don't believe.

00:43:04 --> 00:43:06

Saying, if you wish, you don't want to

00:43:06 --> 00:43:07

believe, no problem.

00:43:07 --> 00:43:09

You can do kufr if you want, but

00:43:09 --> 00:43:10

there will be a consequence.

00:43:11 --> 00:43:12

Faman sha'a fal yu'min wa man sha

00:43:12 --> 00:43:14

'a fal yakfur.

00:43:15 --> 00:43:18

Inna a'tadna, indeed, we have created li'l

00:43:18 --> 00:43:21

zalimeen, the ones who do kufr, Allah Subhanahu

00:43:21 --> 00:43:24

wa Ta'ala calls them zalimeen, transgressors.

00:43:24 --> 00:43:30

Allah has created, a'tadna li'l zalimeena, naaran

00:43:30 --> 00:43:31

ahata bihim surati quha.

00:43:32 --> 00:43:34

This ayah, faman sha'a fal yu'min wa

00:43:34 --> 00:43:36

man sha'a fal yakfur, there is a

00:43:36 --> 00:43:36

context to that.

00:43:37 --> 00:43:40

The Quraysh of Mecca, they came to Rasulullah

00:43:40 --> 00:43:42

ﷺ and they demanded.

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

What were the three demands?

00:43:44 --> 00:43:49

Okay, they made three demands, the kuffar of

00:43:49 --> 00:43:51

Mecca or the Quraysh of Mecca, right.

00:43:53 --> 00:43:56

You brought a new deen, O Prophet, Ya

00:43:56 --> 00:44:00

Muhammad, jibta bi deenin, atayta bi deenin, bi

00:44:00 --> 00:44:03

nahjin jadeedin, you brought a new way of

00:44:03 --> 00:44:04

life, we've never heard about this.

00:44:07 --> 00:44:12

So, if you want money, we will give

00:44:12 --> 00:44:14

you all of our money, leave this affair.

00:44:15 --> 00:44:18

Let go of la ilaha illa Allah Muhammadur

00:44:18 --> 00:44:18

Rasulullah.

00:44:20 --> 00:44:26

If you want leadership, right, la sayyidinak, we

00:44:26 --> 00:44:29

will make you our leader, no problem.

00:44:30 --> 00:44:33

And if you want women, each one of

00:44:33 --> 00:44:36

the tribes will give you the most beautiful

00:44:36 --> 00:44:40

women they have, wa zawwajinak, and we will

00:44:40 --> 00:44:41

marry her after you.

00:44:45 --> 00:44:49

So, Abu Talib, he went and he presented

00:44:49 --> 00:44:50

these three demands.

00:44:50 --> 00:44:53

This is right towards the end, where the

00:44:53 --> 00:44:54

battle, and they ended up going to Shi

00:44:54 --> 00:44:55

'ab Abu Talib.

00:44:55 --> 00:44:58

At that point, the Quraysh, they had had

00:44:58 --> 00:45:01

it with Rasulullah ﷺ.

00:45:02 --> 00:45:03

So they sent Abu Talib, they said, look,

00:45:03 --> 00:45:05

we have made the decision, there's going to

00:45:05 --> 00:45:08

be harm coming to your nephew, so go

00:45:08 --> 00:45:11

with these three offers and figure this out.

00:45:12 --> 00:45:15

What was the answer he said, Rasulullah ﷺ?

00:45:17 --> 00:45:20

If you take the sun, and if you

00:45:20 --> 00:45:23

were to place the sun on my one

00:45:23 --> 00:45:27

hand, and the moon on my other, I

00:45:27 --> 00:45:29

would not let go of this way.

00:45:32 --> 00:45:34

When we see Rasulullah ﷺ with all of

00:45:34 --> 00:45:42

that struggle, and all that difficulty to spread

00:45:42 --> 00:45:48

that deen, how easily do we, for momentary,

00:45:48 --> 00:45:52

for little bit of benefit of dunya, are

00:45:52 --> 00:45:55

willing to sacrifice, for example, sometimes the Jum

00:45:55 --> 00:45:57

'ahs of our children, saying let them go

00:45:57 --> 00:45:59

to the school, it's okay, they can pray

00:45:59 --> 00:46:00

Zuhur Salah.

00:46:01 --> 00:46:04

So many of Muslims, they go to public

00:46:04 --> 00:46:08

schools, and the public schools don't have facilities

00:46:08 --> 00:46:08

for Jum'ah.

00:46:08 --> 00:46:11

They don't have arrangements for Jum'ah.

00:46:12 --> 00:46:14

And those kids end up doing what, especially

00:46:14 --> 00:46:17

when the time changes, they end up not

00:46:17 --> 00:46:21

praying Jum'ah, because dunya is more important.

00:46:21 --> 00:46:27

That same parent will cancel their office meeting,

00:46:27 --> 00:46:30

so they can take their child to extra

00:46:30 --> 00:46:33

special coding classes, or robotics classes, or this

00:46:33 --> 00:46:35

class, or that class, but they will not

00:46:35 --> 00:46:40

put their foot down to talk to the

00:46:40 --> 00:46:42

principal to facilitate a Jum'ah for them.

00:46:42 --> 00:46:44

They will not take time, the mothers that

00:46:44 --> 00:46:47

sometimes are at home, not time to go

00:46:47 --> 00:46:50

and volunteer in the school, to be present

00:46:50 --> 00:46:51

in the school so Jum'ahs can take

00:46:51 --> 00:46:51

place.

00:46:52 --> 00:46:55

And sometimes it takes one person, one of

00:46:55 --> 00:46:56

the convert brothers, convert.

00:46:57 --> 00:46:59

He came to me, he said, my son,

00:46:59 --> 00:47:00

I have to arrange Salah for them, one

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

of the coming school, and I said, let's

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

start a thread with the principal.

00:47:03 --> 00:47:05

He sent an email to the principal, I

00:47:05 --> 00:47:07

wrote down all the reasons why constitutionally you

00:47:07 --> 00:47:10

have to provide this, it's one of the

00:47:10 --> 00:47:12

rights that we have, freedom of religion, you

00:47:12 --> 00:47:13

gotta provide this.

00:47:13 --> 00:47:17

The teacher got scared, and then I cc'd

00:47:17 --> 00:47:20

care, and this parent is like, ya, my

00:47:20 --> 00:47:22

son, he has to, it's like, how many

00:47:22 --> 00:47:25

of these, like your son type, are there

00:47:25 --> 00:47:25

in the school?

00:47:27 --> 00:47:29

And this school has so many Muslims, many

00:47:29 --> 00:47:31

of them come to that Masjid-e-Farz.

00:47:32 --> 00:47:33

None of the parents care about Jum'ah,

00:47:36 --> 00:47:38

none of them, this is grade 8 by

00:47:38 --> 00:47:39

the way, not high school, my bad, grade

00:47:39 --> 00:47:39

8.

00:47:40 --> 00:47:41

They're all baligh kids.

00:47:43 --> 00:47:46

So this, now kid has special exemption because

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

his father fought for it.

00:47:48 --> 00:47:50

Rest of the Muslim kids, their kids are

00:47:50 --> 00:47:52

missing school, and missing all of the Jum

00:47:52 --> 00:47:53

'ahs and stuff like that.

00:47:54 --> 00:47:55

And what do we do?

00:47:55 --> 00:47:57

Here is Rasulullah saying, I'm not gonna let

00:47:57 --> 00:47:58

go of my deen, put sun and moon,

00:47:59 --> 00:48:00

and Jum'ah is the first thing we

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

let go.

00:48:02 --> 00:48:05

It's okay, he's still 13, it's okay, he

00:48:05 --> 00:48:06

can miss a couple of Jum'ahs, no

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

problem.

00:48:07 --> 00:48:09

InshaAllah Allah will forgive him.

00:48:11 --> 00:48:14

So Prophet ﷺ, at this ayah that came,

00:48:16 --> 00:48:19

fa man sha'a fal yu'min, this is

00:48:19 --> 00:48:20

the context of the ayah.

00:48:20 --> 00:48:23

Whosoever wishes, as soon as Rasulullah ﷺ said

00:48:23 --> 00:48:25

this, the ayah was like, Allah said, whosoever

00:48:25 --> 00:48:28

wishes, fal yu'min, let him believe, fa man

00:48:28 --> 00:48:30

sha'a fal yakfur, and if you choose

00:48:30 --> 00:48:32

then you can have kufr, you can choose

00:48:32 --> 00:48:32

to deny.

00:48:33 --> 00:48:37

Inna a'tadnaa lil-dhalimeena naaran ahata bihim suradiquhaa.

00:48:37 --> 00:48:41

We have definitely created for the people who

00:48:41 --> 00:48:42

are dhalimeen, surdaaq.

00:48:43 --> 00:48:46

The word suradiquhaa is a really interesting word.

00:48:46 --> 00:48:47

Firstly, it's not an Arabic word.

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

It's a word from Persian.

00:48:51 --> 00:48:54

And the word surdaaq was a Persian word

00:48:54 --> 00:48:57

that got mu'arrab, i.e. it became

00:48:57 --> 00:48:58

Arabized.

00:48:58 --> 00:49:01

There are many words like that that were

00:49:01 --> 00:49:07

originally foreign and then Arabs started using it

00:49:07 --> 00:49:08

and it became mu'arrab.

00:49:09 --> 00:49:14

For example, radio, radio, it's like a radio.

00:49:15 --> 00:49:16

Now it's like a radio.

00:49:17 --> 00:49:18

It's actually a mu'arrab word.

00:49:18 --> 00:49:21

They have rules of dhamma, fatha, mu'arrab,

00:49:21 --> 00:49:22

and all of that.

00:49:22 --> 00:49:27

So anyhow, suradiq is something really interesting.

00:49:27 --> 00:49:29

So if you've ever seen those tents, I'm

00:49:29 --> 00:49:31

not sure, I don't know what they call

00:49:31 --> 00:49:34

them, shami'anas or something, I think, in

00:49:34 --> 00:49:34

Urdu.

00:49:34 --> 00:49:38

But they're basically like flat grounds and they

00:49:38 --> 00:49:40

will put up these shadi tents where they'll

00:49:40 --> 00:49:43

put these poles and they will wrap around.

00:49:44 --> 00:49:47

And to make sure that there are no

00:49:47 --> 00:49:50

wind and stuff like that, sometimes they prefer

00:49:50 --> 00:49:54

this, i.e. they will create banks, i

00:49:54 --> 00:49:59

.e. they'll get sand or the soil and

00:49:59 --> 00:50:01

they will raise it a little bit.

00:50:01 --> 00:50:02

So it's a little bit of a raised

00:50:02 --> 00:50:04

earth and then the pole is put into

00:50:04 --> 00:50:04

it.

00:50:04 --> 00:50:07

So that the person outside, there's like half

00:50:07 --> 00:50:09

of the tent is the ground and the

00:50:09 --> 00:50:11

other half is the pole and then it

00:50:11 --> 00:50:12

wraps around.

00:50:12 --> 00:50:16

That tent is called surdaaq.

00:50:18 --> 00:50:20

That called surdaaq.

00:50:20 --> 00:50:24

Now, this imagery that Allah is drawing, as

00:50:24 --> 00:50:29

one of the mufassir says, is, this is

00:50:29 --> 00:50:31

a fire pit.

00:50:32 --> 00:50:34

So this is, may Allah protect us, man.

00:50:35 --> 00:50:37

So it's, Allah has, it's like, inna a'tadna,

00:50:37 --> 00:50:41

we have prepared for the, it's like a

00:50:41 --> 00:50:41

mockery here.

00:50:42 --> 00:50:44

We have prepared for those who choose to

00:50:44 --> 00:50:48

do kufr, those transgressors, naaran, a fire.

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

Ahata bihim suraadiquha.

00:50:52 --> 00:50:57

This fire, the wrap around, i.e. they're

00:50:57 --> 00:50:58

going to be in sort of a small

00:50:58 --> 00:51:02

hole that is dug and then around it

00:51:02 --> 00:51:04

is going to be a four fenced and

00:51:04 --> 00:51:06

they will be in that fence of fire.

00:51:08 --> 00:51:09

Ahata bihim suraadiquha.

00:51:10 --> 00:51:13

Wa in yastaghithu, istighatha is to ask for

00:51:13 --> 00:51:14

water.

00:51:14 --> 00:51:15

If they're going to ask for water, Allah

00:51:15 --> 00:51:18

is like, yughathu, they will be given water.

00:51:20 --> 00:51:21

Istighatha is secret.

00:51:22 --> 00:51:24

So Allah is like, wa in yastaghithu yughathu,

00:51:24 --> 00:51:25

they will be given water.

00:51:25 --> 00:51:26

But what is the water?

00:51:27 --> 00:51:28

Bima'in.

00:51:28 --> 00:51:33

They will be given water, bima'in, water,

00:51:34 --> 00:51:41

kalmuhli, water that is molten metal.

00:51:41 --> 00:51:45

This water, the heat of that water is

00:51:45 --> 00:51:47

going to be at the level of molten

00:51:47 --> 00:51:48

metal.

00:51:49 --> 00:51:53

Yashwi al wujuh, it will barbeque their faces.

00:51:54 --> 00:51:57

As they're forced to drink that water, they

00:51:57 --> 00:52:00

will bring that water close to themselves and

00:52:00 --> 00:52:01

their faces would burn.

00:52:02 --> 00:52:05

And yashwi al wujuh, the word yashwi is

00:52:05 --> 00:52:07

to barbeque something, shawaya.

00:52:07 --> 00:52:09

i.e. this heat is going to be

00:52:09 --> 00:52:11

so much that instantaneously it would burn their

00:52:11 --> 00:52:12

faces.

00:52:12 --> 00:52:13

May Allah protect us from this.

00:52:15 --> 00:52:17

And then Allah is like, b'isash sharaabu,

00:52:17 --> 00:52:21

how wretched and horrible is this drink of

00:52:21 --> 00:52:22

theirs.

00:52:23 --> 00:52:24

Wasa'at murtafaqa.

00:52:25 --> 00:52:27

Murtafaq is again, again, Allah is mocking them.

00:52:27 --> 00:52:32

Murtafaq is basically a place of sitting where

00:52:32 --> 00:52:36

you have the majlis al arabi, the people

00:52:36 --> 00:52:38

have that majlis on the ground and you

00:52:38 --> 00:52:40

sit with like a side step and you're

00:52:40 --> 00:52:42

sitting like this and you're resting.

00:52:42 --> 00:52:44

So Allah is like, wasa'at murtafaqa.

00:52:44 --> 00:52:47

How horrible the drink that you're given, wasa

00:52:47 --> 00:52:50

'at murtafaqa and what a wretched place for

00:52:50 --> 00:52:51

you to have your hospitality.

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

Allah protect us from that man.

00:53:04 --> 00:53:07

We'll stop over here inshaAllah and we'll start

00:53:07 --> 00:53:09

from this ayah again next week.

00:53:09 --> 00:53:13

If anybody has any questions, or any comments,

00:53:15 --> 00:53:16

concerns.

00:53:41 --> 00:53:45

Allahumma ajidna minal naar, Allahumma ajidna minal naar,

00:53:45 --> 00:55:10

Allahumma ajidna minal naar, Allahumma ajidna

00:55:10 --> 00:55:10

minal naar, Allahumma ajidna minal naar, Allahumma ajidna

00:55:10 --> 00:55:10

minal naar.
