00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			JazakAllah khair for coming inshaAllah.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			We're going to start our session.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			Last time we stopped at ayah number 36
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			of Surah Kahf.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			We'll start with a couple of ayahs before
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			so that we can get a sequence inshaAllah.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:36
			I can start with ayah number 32.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:50
			So this is one of the many parables
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			that Allah SWT mentions in the Qur'an.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			As we mentioned that there are 43 parables
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			in the Qur'an, amthal.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			There are 43 parables or amthal in the
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			Qur'an.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:00
			And this is one.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			And in this surah we have three.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			So in this surah we have three of
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			those parables.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			Allah SWT says, "...and strike for them an
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:09
			example."
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:14
			The example of two, two men.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			One of them we had created for them
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			two gardens.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			These gardens were of grapes.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			And they were surrounded by palm trees.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			Nakhl is specifically palm trees that bear date
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			palms.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			And we had created in between them, i
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			.e. between the two gardens, crops for them.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			His private garden.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:44
			Whatever he wanted.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			Both of these gardens, they, based on the
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:01
			effort that he had put in, they provided
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			the produce and the yield as per the
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			effort that was given.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			There was no shortfall, i.e. whatever effort
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			was given, that's what was received.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18
			And Allah had caused a river to flow
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			between the two gardens.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:27
			The source, Allah says, which means, The source
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			of the river started from his garden.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			And he had thamr.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			He had resources.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			We said thamr can be recited how many
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:42
			ways?
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:44
			Thumrun.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			Thumrun.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			Thumrun, thumrun, and thamrun.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:57
			When it is thamrun, it refers to produce,
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			i.e. yield from a crop.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			But if you recite thumrun, or thumrun, which
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			is the majority recitation, we read the minority
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:04
			opinion.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			Most of the Qur'an have recited it.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:18
			And when you say the word thumr, with
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			the dhamma or paish on the tha, and
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			on meem, then it means maalun katheer, lots
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			of wealth.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:32
			And it says, Various different types of asset
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			development.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			Be it, for today's day and age, stocks,
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			yields, bonds, whatever.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:42
			Various different ways of people acquiring assets, real
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			estate, whatever it is.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			Investments in properties, investments in this, all of
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			any form of asset.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			Thumrun.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:57
			So he said to his sahib, And he
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			was in a conversation with them.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			What did we say about hiwar?
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			Did we mention hiwar last time, explanation of
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			hiwar?
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			The wood, yes.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:11
			So we said hiwar is the wood on
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			which the pulley for fetching the water in
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			a well is attached.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:20
			And the movement of that wood, that wood
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:20
			is called hawr.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			And what does hawr do?
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			It rotates one way and then the other
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:24
			way.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			Similarly, a conversation is I speak, then you
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:28
			speak.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			And you, I listen.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			And then you talk, and I listen.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			And I talk, and you listen.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:38
			And that alteration, alternation, left and right, or
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:42
			back and forth, that is referred to as
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:42
			hiwar.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			And similarly, it also means to return back
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			to something.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			They thought they're not going to come back.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			There was going to be no return to
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:52
			Allah.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			So yahoor also means to be able to
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			go back to your origin.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			Okay?
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			He was trying to convince him to go
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			back to his original understanding.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			Or, he was in a conversation in an
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			alternation state of back and forth.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			I have a lot more money than you.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			I have a lot more manpower.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			Today's day and age, the statement would be,
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			I've got a lot of employees.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			I have a bigger company.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			Look at me.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			You're a sole proprietor.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			I have a corporation with 100 staff.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			I'm better than you.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38
			So he entered in his Jannah, his garden.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			And he was already a transgressor upon himself.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			Why was he a transgressor upon himself?
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			How can you transgress when you're entering your
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:49
			own property?
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			Arrogance in the heart.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			i.e. the state that he entered the
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:55
			garden.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			The state that we enter our cars.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			The state that we enter our houses determines.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
			Yes, your house could be perfectly Halal for
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:03
			you.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			But having a Halal house does not mean
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			that you cannot have transgression.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			So, وَدَخَلَ جَنَّتَهُ He entered his garden.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:17
			But the state was, وَهُوَ ظَالِمٌ He was
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			a transgressor upon himself.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			The second is, that a person may be
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			given everything by Allah SWT.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			And he believes in Allah.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			But he says, who cares?
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			Sanuki.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			The seven successful keys of Punjabi.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:31
			You guys heard that?
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
			So, Manuki.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			Who cares?
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:35
			Whatever.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			Doesn't matter to me.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			Whatever.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			Doesn't matter.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			So, ظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِي That when you transgress, and
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			you said, who cares?
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			I really don't care about the boundaries of
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:46
			Allah SWT.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			Allah protects us.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:53
			قَالَ مَا أَظُنُّ أَن تَبِيدَ هَذِهِ أَبَدَ And
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:58
			one of the, the effects of this transgression
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01
			internally, is that you say statements of this
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:01
			nature.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			I don't think my prosperity is ever going
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:05
			to go away.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:07
			Ever.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12
			This weekend, I was in Houston.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			And ironically, I was teaching the entire, we
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			spent the entire two days back to back,
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			from the morning all the way to 9pm
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			at night, finishing the entire surah.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			And when we taught that, there was a
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			brother who came to the Friday night halaqah.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			He was an old brother, 58.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:32
			Yeah, 58 or 57.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			And he was very vibrant.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:36
			His kids were there.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			Everybody was there.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			And he said, Shaykh, I'm excited to come
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			back tomorrow.
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:45
			Friday night, he, he becomes really sick.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			They take him to ER.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			And the doctors tell him that you've got
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			24 hours to live.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			And on Sunday, we pray janazah on him.
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:02
			But what was really shocking for me to
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			remember is that we can have two types
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			of ends.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			Wahua dhalimu linafsi, that type of an end,
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:08
			that we're arrogant.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			Or we can have an end where the
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:14
			person says, InshaAllah, I'm old, my kids are
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:15
			going to be here, but I'm going to
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			bring my entire family to go and study
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			the surah and make the intention and go
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			back home with the right intention, and then
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			Allah can take your soul.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:26
			Right?
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			And then when they talked about him, they
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:32
			said that this brother, he's been managing the
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:37
			parking of the masjid, managing the volunteer management,
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			managing all the volunteers of the masjid for
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			the past 15 years.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:42
			Right?
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			Hasn't skipped a beat.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:49
			So again, has Allah given us many of
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:49
			this?
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			Yes, we have so much, so much that
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			Allah has given us, but how do we
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			treat those bounties of Allah?
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			That's what matters.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:01
			وَمَا أَظُنُّ سَعَةَ قَائِمَةً And I don't believe
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			that Qiyamah is going to come.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07
			He said that either verbally, or his actions
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			were indicative of that.
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12
			He was living a life like that.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			وَلَأِرُّدِتُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي And if I ended up
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:18
			going back to Allah SWT, لَأَجِدَنَّ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			مُنْقَلَبًا I will find way better reward than
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:21
			this.
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			Look at what Allah has given me in
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			this dunya.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			You think he's, like, look at how he's
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			treating me now.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			You think he's not going to treat me
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			well when I meet him?
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32
			You must be very delusional.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34
			Right?
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			And here's where we're going to begin our
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:38
			new Sadaqah.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:43
			قَالَ لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ So his friend said, his
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46
			sahib said, first lesson for us is we
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			should always have a friend who can always
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			put us in check.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53
			That's the first lesson here.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			You should always have a friend that can
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:57
			hold you accountable.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:01
			And you have given him that liberty that
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:02
			hold me into check.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			It could be your spouse, but better yet,
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			sometimes it is better to have a friend
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:10
			who can put you in check and say,
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			listen man, you're crossing the lines here.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			Sometimes you need that.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			Right?
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			I remember reading a book as a teenager
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			it's called The Smack on the Side of
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:20
			Your Head.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:22
			Right?
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:25
			It's actually, I think, yeah, A Smack on
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:26
			the Side of Your Head.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			It's about how you need to have mentors
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			who can actually wake you up sometimes out
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:35
			of your weirdness.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39
			قَالَ لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ So he was his sahib,
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			he was his friend, he was his companion.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			By the way, sahib is an interesting word.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			Let me get into that just quickly.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:50
			So sahib can be anybody that accompanies an
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			insan.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			Anybody that accompanies you.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:53
			Right?
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:57
			So anything that accompanies you, whether it is
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:01
			haywan, or whether it is place, or whether
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			it is time.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:08
			Haywan means human beings or animal, insan or
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			animal, doesn't matter, any living thing.
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:14
			Makan, you can have sahib, any place that,
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			sahibul makan, sahib, and then zaman.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:18
			Right?
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:24
			So Rasulullah ﷺ and sahaba, they were sahib
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			of zaman.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			And they were also sahib of makan.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:28
			Right?
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:28
			They were there.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:33
			And this suhba, the word sahib, doesn't actually
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			have to be materialistic suhba.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40
			So it could also be inaya, it could
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			also be protection, care.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			So he was his sahib, i.e. he
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			cared about him.
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:49
			i.e. he was either his physical sahib,
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			or he was a friend who cared about
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:51
			you.
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			Sometimes you have friends that are really far
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			away, but they're still your sahib.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:58
			And that suhba is ma'nawiyah, they're not
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
			physically with you.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			But they have this inaya and care for
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:01
			you.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:04
			So it's a very deep concept, sahiba, but
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			that's all we need to know for now.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:08
			Qala lahu sahibuhu wa huwa yuhawiruhu.
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			He said to his sahib, and they were
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:13
			having a conversation, Akafarta billathi khalaqak?
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			Have you done kufr with the one who
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:17
			has created you?
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			Remember the word kafarta over here, is that
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:24
			he recognized Allah, but then he covered him.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:29
			He said the word kafir, kafara, is to
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:29
			cover.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			And that's where you get the word cover
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:34
			from, in English too, cover, to cover something.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37
			So he covered, Akafarta billathi khalaqak?
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			So first he is trying to remind him
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40
			about his creation.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			And that's one of the best ways to
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:44
			wake up an atheist.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			How were you created?
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			Oh, my parents.
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:50
			Oh, who created them?
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:50
			Who created them?
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			Who created them?
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			And it was a very quick, simple argument.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			Somebody created the first in time, right?
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			Who created that first in time?
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			And then you can have the argument.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:03
			Akafarta billathi khalaqaka min turabin You were created
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:03
			with?
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:04
			Turab.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			Thumma min nutfatin Then from a drop of
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:07
			*.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:12
			Then, Thumma sawaaka rajula And then Allah fashioned
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:17
			you, sawaaka, He fashioned you, rajulan, An absolutely
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			perfect man.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			Full man.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:27
			Sawaaka basically means, Takhliq ash-shay bil-ihsan
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:31
			To manufacture or create something with absolute perfection.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:35
			To create something with absolute perfection.
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:35
			Okay?
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:43
			And specifically sawaaka is to create something, To
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:47
			create something with absolute perfection For the required
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:48
			task.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			That's the part of sawaaka.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			That Allah created us in the absolute perfect
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:03
			manner So that we can obey Him.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:07
			Submitting to Allah, We were created naturally to
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:07
			submit.
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			And if we don't submit to Allah naturally,
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:13
			Then you will submit to some ism.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:16
			Doesn't matter what it is.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			You are going to submit to some ism.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			Deep down inside, Every person is going to
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			submit to some form of an ism.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			Okay?
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:37
			Thumma sawaaka rajula Ya Allah Then
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:40
			Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala says, Lakinna huwal
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:43
			laahu rabbii Lakinna over here is what?
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:48
			Lakin, Ana But that Hamza, For grammatical magic,
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:49
			Has disappeared.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			That's all you need to know.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:55
			Lakin, Ana Like as for me, Huwal laahu
		
00:16:55 --> 00:17:01
			rabbii So he's reminding him, That Allah is
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:01
			my creator.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:02
			Okay?
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:07
			What is the difference between Allah and Rabb?
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			Rabb is the one who creates.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:14
			And Allah is the one, Allah is the
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:18
			one who gives you intellect, But then demands
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19
			your worship.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:23
			So when we take Allah as our ilah,
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25
			After he has been our Rabb, We have
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			to submit to him because he has given
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:28
			us aql.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			And that aql necessitates and Allah demands from
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			us, Our submission.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			Your aql was given to you, So you
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:36
			submit.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:44
			La'allakum No, surah tabarak Allahumma salli ala
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			Muhammad No, no, no, surah tabarak.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:51
			The first three ayahs Wama khalaq No Allahumma
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:55
			salli ala Muhammad Allathee khalaqal mawta walhayata liyabluwakum
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			ayyukum ahsanu amala Right?
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			Allah created the life and death.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:01
			And the purpose is what?
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			So that he tests us.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:07
			And remember, The test is lifted if there
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08
			is no aql.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			If a person does not have aql, Ghayr
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			aql, does not have a test.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:18
			So aql is the They say this is
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:21
			the essence of what makes you responsible in
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			the eyes of Allah.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			So Allah is the one that demands after
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			giving you aql the submission.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			So he's trying to remind him who Allah.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			Allah has given you aql and he demands
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:33
			for your submission.
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			But he is my Rabb.
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			And I don't do any shirk.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:42
			I don't make other ilahs with my Rabb
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:42
			creator.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			Anyone else other than him.
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:51
			Now, This is where he is rectifying his
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:51
			aqidah.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:52
			Right?
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			He's saying somebody you were wrong.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			You need to rectify.
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:58
			Over here, Many of the tafseer books have
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:01
			written a very beautiful They digress a little
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			bit, But it's a very beautiful discussion to
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:03
			be had.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:06
			And the discussion is on the angle that
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:10
			Allah SWT At what point does it become
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:13
			wajib on me to tell somebody that they're
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:13
			wrong?
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			So what they say, the ulama, they say,
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			and I'll summarize it in a very quick
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:20
			format.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:23
			Number one, it is wajib, i.e. you
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:28
			will be held responsible in the eyes of
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			Allah SWT.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			If you know that if you tell someone
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:34
			or somebody, This is the right way to
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			do something and they will respond with a
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:37
			positive response.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			If you know 100% in your heart,
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			they will respond positively.
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			It is wajib on you to tell them.
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			As Imam Ghazali also mentions this, it becomes
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:46
			wajib.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			So if I say to someone, listen, your
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			socks are torn.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			You can, I'm not pointing at you, but
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			like, He's like, he's like, my socks, your
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:55
			socks are torn.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:57
			Your wudu was not complete.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			You know, your salah was invalid.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			So if I have the certitude, you could
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			be wrong, but you're certain at the point
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			that if I correct them, they will go
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			and fix it.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			Then it becomes wajib on you to correct
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:10
			something.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			But again, make sure that you also have
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:16
			100% certitude that what you're telling them
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:16
			is right and wrong.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:18
			You have to first have that yaqeen.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			Number two, if you're between 51 to 99,
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			even if there's like an ounce of doubt
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			that maybe this person will react negatively or
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:31
			they may not take it very positively, then
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			it becomes a sunnah on you.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			If you do it, you did a recommended
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			act, positive, negative consequences.
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:40
			But if you keep quiet and you don't,
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:41
			it's fine.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45
			It becomes a mubah act.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:49
			i.e. sharia is indifferent.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			It doesn't recommend you, it does not stop
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:52
			you.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:55
			If you're at a 50-50, you really
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			not know the person, you're in a new
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:01
			space, there's something really wrong, something you notice
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:02
			that has to be corrected, and it's a
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:03
			major issue of Islam.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:06
			You want to correct that, but you're 50
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			-50, you don't know the environment, you don't
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			know if they're going to respond positively, but
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			you also don't know if they're going to
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			respond negatively.
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:15
			You don't have enough information to make a
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			decision, then it's mubah.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			Whether you do it or you don't, it's
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:18
			all equal.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:19
			Sharia is equal on that.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:28
			When you know anything below this, if you
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			know that you're going to say to someone,
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			stop this, and they will react negatively to
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			it.
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
			Maybe they're giving signals.
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:37
			Maybe they're, I don't know, they're agitated.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38
			Maybe they're not in the right state of
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:39
			mind.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:40
			Whatever the case is.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			If you know that that is happening, then
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:46
			it becomes, in certain circumstances, makrooh tahreemi.
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:48
			It's you're not allowed to tell them to
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			stop this.
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:53
			And in certain circumstances, it becomes haram for
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:53
			you.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:55
			It's amr bil ma'ruf, but it becomes
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			you're not allowed to tell them to do
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:59
			something because you know that it's going to
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			have a negative impact.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03
			And it will only propel them in disobedience
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:03
			further.
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			The example of that is, for example, Ibn
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:07
			Taymiyyah.
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			He was walking.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:11
			And as he was walking with his students,
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:17
			they saw Mongol soldiers with Muslim soldiers drunk.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			So the students, they got zealous.
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			We need to stop our Muslim brothers, they're
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:25
			drinking.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:30
			So Ibn Taymiyyah said, it is better for
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:33
			them to drink because if they become sober,
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			then they will go and * a woman.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			So in that case, it became haram for
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:43
			them to stop because the two evils, lesser
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:44
			of the two evils, it is better for
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			them to be engaged in that lesser of
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			the two evils than to cause more harm
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:49
			in our society.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			So it's not very simple.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			Some people just say amr bil ma'ruf
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:54
			and then take the hadith.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:56
			Now they become like the Surna police.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:58
			They're like, this is haram, that's wrong.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:00
			It's just crazy.
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:02
			And I found that a lot, honestly.
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:06
			Alhamdulillah, America doesn't have that so much, even
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			in Canada, but in the UK.
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:10
			Oh my God.
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:12
			UK is like next level.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:15
			You go to the wrong masjid, they will
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			check you up, down, top, bottom, every single
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:18
			way you can go.
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:22
			I still remember, I gave a lecture and
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:22
			I came back to pray.
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			And then I was doing the salah and
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:26
			the brother was like, roll up your pants.
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:29
			I'm about to lead the salah.
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:30
			And I'm like, you know what brother, you
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:31
			should come and lead the salah.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			And he's like, no, no, you lead, you're
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:35
			the imam, but roll up your pants.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			I was like, you know, let's not make
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:39
			a scene about this.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40
			You come and lead the salah.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:41
			So I moved back.
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			After the salah, some guy's like, where's your
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:44
			topi?
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50
			And if you go to the other rung,
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52
			it's very harsh there.
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:52
			It's very harsh.
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:56
			They need to have this lesson.
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			No, because they're turning away people.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:00
			Same thing goes for some other times.
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			And a lot of the sisters have messaged,
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			they message on Instagram and stuff, like they'll
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:07
			go to the masjid for the first time.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:08
			Right?
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:10
			And the person who's there, in all honesty,
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:12
			he's trying to respect the masjid.
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:14
			But you don't know where the sister is
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:14
			coming from.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15
			Maybe this is the first time she entered
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:16
			the masjid.
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:17
			Right?
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:19
			In Atlanta, I had a mother.
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			After Jummah, she grabbed me and she started
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:22
			crying.
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:22
			I told you this before.
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			She started crying.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:26
			And she said to me, Sheikh, you think
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:27
			Allah is going to accept my son?
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:28
			I said, what happened?
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			And then she just started crying and crying
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:31
			and crying.
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			And I'm like, I don't know what happened.
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:34
			And he's like, you know, he was 16
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:37
			when he entered the masjid in Atlanta.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39
			And somebody scolded him.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			And he died at age 32.
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			And this is the second time he's entered
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:44
			the masjid as a dead body.
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			Right?
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:50
			So when we don't know this, we cause
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			so much harm in our society.
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:54
			May Allah protect us.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57
			And may, you know, my Sheikh used to
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:01
			say, O Allah, do not dispel others from
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:02
			the deen because of me.
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:05
			Like, let not me be the source of
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:06
			pushing others away from me.
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:12
			Then Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala says, So
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:15
			the sahib, he says to him, why is
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:16
			it not that, you know, when you entered,
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:21
			when you entered your jannah, you should have
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:30
			said, There is no power without Allah Subhanahu
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:31
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33
			i.e. all power belongs to Allah.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:36
			This statement of la hawla wa la quwwata
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			illa billah, there are numerous hadiths that are
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:39
			mentioned about it.
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			One of them, one of the most profound
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:44
			ones, is the story of the sahabi and
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:45
			the mother and the father.
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			They came to Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			And they said to Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:55
			Our son has been captured captive.
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			You know, he went as a battalion and
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:58
			he was captured.
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			What do we do, Ya Rasulullah?
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:07
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, You know
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:08
			what hawqalah is, right?
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			That's a short form of la hawla wa
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:10
			la quwwata illa billah.
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:12
			You know how we say Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim,
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			we say basmala, right?
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:17
			Similarly, la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			is hawqalah.
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:19
			That's the short form of that.
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			So now it is on you to say
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
			la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			So imagine the yaqeen of these mother and
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			father.
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:27
			So they went back.
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:28
			They sat in their house.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:31
			And for the next three days, all they
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:38
			did, pray, come back, la hawla wa la
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:38
			quwwata illa billah.
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			Rasulullah said it.
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:41
			Bi had yaqeen.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:44
			And he said, nothing will bring your son
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:45
			sooner.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			And then there's various narrations about it.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:51
			It is from one of the khaza'in.
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:54
			It has been given from the treasures from
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:55
			the throne of Allah.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:56
			So many hadiths about that.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:58
			What happened?
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:02
			On the third night, the door knocks.
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			They open the door and it's their son.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:08
			And they get so happy.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			And they said, come in.
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:10
			And it's the middle of the night.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			And it's like, what happened?
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:12
			How did you escape?
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:18
			And he said, last night, as they usually
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			do, they gave me food.
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:21
			And the person who gave me food, he
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:22
			forgot to lock the prison.
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:27
			And then obviously the father is like, what
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:29
			are these sounds that I hear?
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			He said, oh, don't worry about it.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:32
			They're not chasing me.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:35
			I actually brought all of their camels and
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			all of their sheeps along with me.
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41
			So they went back to Rasulullah ﷺ.
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			Said, ya Rasulullah, not only did our son
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:47
			came back, we all became millionaires from their
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:48
			times.
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			Then he said to them, tell them what
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:51
			happened.
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			It's like, you know, you become, I'm not
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:54
			telling the story.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:55
			You tell your story.
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			And that's how we got to know the
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:57
			story.
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:58
			Right, from the Sahaba.
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:00
			So la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:03
			is such a powerful thing, right, in our
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:03
			society.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:05
			I think as people, when we go through
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			difficulties, la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			is one of the fastest ways to get
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:10
			out of trouble.
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:15
			In tarani ana aqalla minka maalan wa walada
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:17
			And if you see me, that I have
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:20
			less offspring, i.e. children, and I don't
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:22
			have a lot of wealth, don't worry about
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:22
			this part.
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			Right, don't worry about this part.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:26
			Why?
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:29
			fa'asa rabbiyan yu'ti'ani khairan min jannatik
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:31
			I have lots of hope in my Allah.
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:33
			He can give me khairan min jannatik.
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:35
			He'll give me a jannah better than your
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:35
			jannah.
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:39
			wa yursila AAalayha husbaana minassama And Allah can
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:42
			send on your jannah, which is in Allah's
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:44
			control, a thunderbolt.
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:52
			fatusbiha sa'eedan zalqa So it will turn
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:55
			into barren wasteland.
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:57
			Okay.
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:59
			Zalqa is a land in which if you
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			pour water, the water just flows over.
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03
			It doesn't get absorbed.
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:04
			Okay.
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			It doesn't seep in.
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:20
			There's a very beautiful hadith that is mentioned
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:22
			in reference to these two surahs.
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:27
			Ja'far al-Sadiq radiyallahu anhu says, and
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:30
			Ja'far al-Sadiq radiyallahu anhu, he was
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:33
			known as alimun bi kunuz al-Quran.
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			Right, so he had knowledge of all the
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:37
			treasures of the Quran.
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:41
			Right, so they used to call him kan
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			alimun bi kunuz al-Quran.
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:46
			He was an alim with all the little
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:47
			secrets and treasures of the Quran.
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:48
			He knew all of that.
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:57
			So he said something really interesting.
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:06
			ajibtu liman khaafa walam yafzaa ila qawli Allahi
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:09
			ta'ala hasbuna Allahu wa ni'ma al-wakeel
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:12
			I'm really, I'm really shocked and I find
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:16
			it very strange that if somebody finds themselves
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:20
			in a fearful situation, walam yafzaa and they
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:23
			don't hastenly go back to this ayah of
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:26
			the Quran, hasbuna Allah, Allah is enough for
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			us, wa ni'ma al-wakeel and what a
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:30
			great disposer of affairs he is.
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:36
			fa inni sami'atu Allah bi aqiba ha
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:39
			yaqool So I heard Allah Subhanahu wa ta
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:42
			'ala say after that, what's the ayah after
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:42
			that?
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:46
			If you say hasbuna Allah wa ni'ma al
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:52
			-wakeel Okay fa inqalabu bi ni'ma min Allah
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:58
			wa fadl walam yamsas hum su If somebody
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			says hasbuna Allah wa ni'ma al-wakeel ni'ma
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:03
			al-mawla wa ni'ma al-nasir Allah Subhanahu
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:04
			wa ta'ala says fa inqalabu So they
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:07
			returned back i.e. whichever fear, wherever you
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:10
			were, you would come back bi ni'ma min
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:12
			Allah You would come back with the bounty
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:15
			from Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala Right wa
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:19
			fadl and more than bounty abundance from Allah
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:22
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala lam yamsas hum su
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:26
			No harm would have touched them Then he
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:31
			says and this is the part of this
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:33
			is why they mentioned this hadith wa ajibtu
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:37
			liman talabat dunya wa zinataha So I find
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:41
			it very strange that somebody wants all the
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:42
			dunya Right?
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:45
			They want zinataha dunya and all the trinkets
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:49
			in it and he said sahibu tamuh i
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:54
			.e. this person has really high resolve tamah
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:57
			is basically to succeed at all costs sahibu
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:02
			tamuh fi dunya kayfa la yafza ila qawli
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:07
			Allah ta'ala How does that person not
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:09
			go back to the qawla of Allah Subhanahu
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:11
			wa ta'ala ma sha' Allah la quwata
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:14
			illa billah This ayah ma sha' Allah la
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16
			quwata illa billah Whatever Allah wills and there
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18
			is no power other than the power of
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:20
			Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala Why?
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:22
			Because I heard after that the ayah that
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:25
			came fa isa rabbi an yu'tiani khayran min
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:28
			jannah Allah is going to give you something
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:31
			better than the jannah of your whoever you're
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:33
			trying to chase whoever you're after whoever you're
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			trying to get better than you will get
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37
			something better than that Right?
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:40
			So this is a story that's usually mentioned
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:46
			in different Tafsir books about that aw yusbiha
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:49
			ma'uha ghawran falanta astati'u lahu talaba
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:51
			Allah can also do this this water of
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:53
			yours you know wafajjarna khila lahu ma nahara
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:55
			We created Right?
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:58
			The source of the river wafajjarna i.e.
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:00
			the source of the river was from his
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:03
			garden So it is very possible that Allah
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:05
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala can take that water
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:08
			of yours and it becomes ghawran it completely
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:12
			goes into the earth falanta astati'u lahu
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:14
			talaba You're not going to be able to
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:16
			find it Right?
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:22
			There's an interesting story mentioned about an Orientalist
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:25
			in many of the Tafsir books of the
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:28
			40s and 50s Actually, sorry Tafsir books of
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:31
			the 30s, 40s and 50s they mention this
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:34
			Even Sheikh Sha'rawi mentioned this and mentions
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:37
			this in his recorded Tafsirs and stuff and
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:41
			the story is that there was an Orientalist
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:43
			when he came across this ayah he said
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:47
			this ayah does not make sense and as
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			he was having a conversation with some of
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:51
			the group of ulama he said wa'ana
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:54
			astati lahu talaba I can bring the water
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:56
			if Allah takes the water away like what
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:58
			kind of this is a geology very simple
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:02
			we'll dig a borehole and we'll just bring
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:04
			water out what kind of miraculous what are
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:06
			you talking about if Allah Subhanahu wa ta
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:07
			'ala takes away the water that's not possible
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
			so the ulama they say the minute he
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:14
			said that is not possible fa gharat miyahu
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:21
			ayni his water of his eyes disappeared at
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:24
			that moment and there were 17 or 18
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:28
			scholars who all witnessed that in the 60s
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:32
			or 70s and for the rest of his
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:36
			life he was dependent on eyedrops he had
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:38
			to put saline eyedrops every 15 minutes to
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:43
			keep his eyes wet right so you know
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:45
			and this is how it also tells us
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:47
			that you know any people who have this
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:50
			arrogant attitude towards the Qur'an sometimes what
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:53
			is this old people stuff what are you
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:55
			guys reading about 1500 years what is this
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:58
			like when we have these type of lashing
		
00:34:58 --> 00:35:01
			out against the Qur'an should be very
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:03
			careful about that it can come back and
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:05
			haunt us it can come back and a
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07
			lot because this is the kalam of Allah
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:13
			can't joke about this so what happened Allah
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:16
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala took away his prosperity
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:20
			and uhita basically means that Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:24
			Ta'ala's decree completely encompassed him notice the
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:28
			imagery here his Jannah Allah had given him
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:33
			Allah gave him a garden that was completely
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:37
			surrounded and Allah then surrounded his garden with
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:42
			his will the subtle imagery here and this
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:44
			is called balawa that you know the first
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:46
			you were given a garden and then the
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:49
			decree of Allah then encompassed you and that
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:58
			garden was of no avail to you all
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:01
			of that prosperity disappeared and all he was
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:05
			doing is taking his hand moving his hands
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:08
			like this because he had spent all of
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:14
			his wealth in building that prosperity and it
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:17
			had collapsed on its trellises on the roofs
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:23
			and what was he saying?
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:32
			I wish I had not associated anybody else
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:36
			with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala anyone else
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:41
			now he comes back now he affirms that
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:43
			this was my Rabb he is my Rabb
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:45
			now he affirms that he is my Rabb
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:54
			over here the ulema they say that this
		
00:36:54 --> 00:37:01
			part because he was a Muslim right?
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:04
			this was shirk of not shirk akbar this
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:06
			was not he didn't say there is no
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:10
			Allah this was that he took his money
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:14
			his wealth his career his life all of
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:17
			those things that distract us from Allah he
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:20
			almost equated them as gods in his life
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:24
			he may not have verbally said these are
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:26
			my gods but he lived his life like
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:29
			that an example of that is for example
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:33
			one of the parents came to me for
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:35
			the class that we were doing last night
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:40
			and they were like our kids have exams
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:42
			our kids have this and that and you
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:44
			know doing these classes on the weekdays is
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:50
			you know it's not practical I said so
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:53
			tell me what is practical he said you
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:55
			know we should only do deen on the
		
00:37:55 --> 00:38:01
			weekend and I'm like I have to talk
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:04
			about this and I said listen brother I'm
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:07
			going to tell you something everything else that
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:10
			you are doing with your kids don't matter
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:14
			anything in front of Allah you take them
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:16
			to a soccer game don't matter anything in
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:19
			front of Allah and if we cannot take
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:22
			out one day a week during the weekday
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:28
			for Allah then who are we fooling right
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:30
			people who want to do their MBA they
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:32
			take out what you know part time MBAs
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:33
			you got to do two days during the
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:34
			weekdays and you got to go on the
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:39
			weekend executive MBAs right people give that much
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:40
			and then you have to do assignments on
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:43
			top of that and then you pay $50
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:46
			,000 to go and do that or $100
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:47
			,000 I don't know how much our MBA
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:52
			is now $100,000 Georgia Tech you don't
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:55
			know okay I think they are at least
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:57
			$100,000 but again people pay money to
		
00:38:57 --> 00:39:01
			go and do that MBA does that MBA
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:05
			guarantee money no it's a false promise that
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:07
			was sold Allah is not selling us a
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:13
			false promise right so this shirk is very
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:18
			scary because it is the shirk which is
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:21
			called shirk asghar right it's the the subtle
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:25
			associations that we do sometimes even in worshipping
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:28
			circles when we start praying because we want
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:29
			to make sure that everybody else knows that
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:33
			I'm a guy who comes to that's shirk
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:38
			asghar shirk khafi it comes in it enters
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:40
			in our ibadah it enters in every single
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:43
			aspect of our worship and may Allah protect
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:45
			us from that right this is so scary
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:48
			because you don't know if my amal your
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:50
			amal our class our coming my teaching all
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:55
			of that is even accepted Abdullah Ibn Masud
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:59
			he used to say if I know that
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:02
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has accepted from
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:08
			me one sajda I will be happy so
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:10
			he said why he said because Allah Subhanahu
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:18
			Wa Ta'ala says because Allah only accepts
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:21
			from the Muttaqi if I know that one
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:23
			of my sajda is accepted at least I
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:24
			will have a surety that I have entered
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:28
			that element of taqwa right Abdullah Ibn Masud
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:32
			Abdullah Ibn Umar he was sitting with Hudaifa
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:36
			Ibn Yaman so Umar got up to pray
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:41
			so Hudaifa grabbed him and he said don't
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:45
			read the janazah what did he say that
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:54
			munafiq he grabbed Umar and he said so
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:59
			he looked at him and he said is
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:04
			he from the list and he said and
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:13
			then he started crying and he said am
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:16
			I on that list am I on that
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:19
			list am I on that and Hudaifa said
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:22
			you're not on the list and from this
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:25
			day onwards I will not ever tell anyone
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:28
			not to get up because he felt like
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:30
			he broke the promise of the Rasulullah so
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:32
			this is something so scary for us that
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:35
			this small shirk you have to be very
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:43
			very careful about and this is the reality
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:45
			when we trust and when we give all
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:48
			of our reins to human beings when we
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:50
			entrust all of our worship and ibadah to
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:52
			other things or when we do it for
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:56
			other reasons other causes then you will have
		
00:41:56 --> 00:42:01
			nobody left to support you you will not
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:03
			have anyone that can support you other than
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:09
			Allah and Allah is like the reality was
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:10
			he was never going to be helped this
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:23
			is the crux of the entire story
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:29
			where Allah says that moment when you and
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:32
			I we realize there is going to be
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:34
			nobody who is going to help us you
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:37
			have lost hope from every single person every
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:41
			single person in your life every single individual
		
00:42:41 --> 00:42:44
			that you trusted everyone has let you down
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:47
			at that very moment we come to this
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:50
			realization or we should come to this realization
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:56
			that's where the true support of Allah only
		
00:42:56 --> 00:43:02
			comes when we recognize that we have no
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:05
			support other than Allah when we recognize that
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:08
			we're not going to get any help that's
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:13
			when the true help comes right Yunus A
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:16
			.S. in the belly of the whale right
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:22
			in the depths of the ocean darkness upon
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:28
			darkness upon darkness that level when he recognized
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:31
			there is no one what did he say
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:39
			there's nobody that can get me out of
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:49
			here you're sanctified I was at fault okay
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:53
			and similarly when Rasulullah S.A.W. was
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:56
			in Taif right and Aisha A.S. asked
		
00:43:56 --> 00:43:58
			what was the most difficult day for you
		
00:43:58 --> 00:44:01
			he said when your qawm when they kicked
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:04
			me out and then when they kicked me
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:07
			out what happened I went to Taif and
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:13
			they rejected me and when the angel came
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:16
			and he said I'm going to take the
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:19
			two mountains and crush the city of Prophet
		
00:44:19 --> 00:44:20
			of Allah if you give me the command
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:24
			right he said inshallah there will be people
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:26
			that will come from their progeny that will
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:29
			say la ilaha illallah and leave them that's
		
00:44:29 --> 00:44:33
			when he gave up all the hope right
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:35
			and when he gave up all the hope
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:38
			at that moment that's where Allah S.W
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:41
			.T. right after that took him where Israa
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:46
			when he like there was nobody who was
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:48
			going to help him he lost his uncle
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:52
			he lost Khadijah he lost all support he
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:54
			can't go back into Mecca he has no
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:57
			refuge you know where how is he going
		
00:44:57 --> 00:45:01
			to use that moment when all support ended
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:04
			for him that's where Allah's initial support began
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:07
			right and this is what Allah does when
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:09
			we are at the lowest moments you know
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:10
			as one of my teachers used to say
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:13
			when you are at the lowest part when
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:15
			Allah sends you to the deepest parts of
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:20
			the ocean of your life and keeps you
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:23
			there then he wants you to grab some
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:24
			gems from
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:34
			the
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:43
			ocean and wants you to go deepest part
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:45
			of the ocean and sends you to the
		
00:45:45 --> 00:46:01
			deepest part ocean and he sends you
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:20
			to part of the ocean till
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:34
			the part of the and sends of the
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:39
			about yeah I'm not going to skip all
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:41
			of this so I think we'll stop over
		
00:46:41 --> 00:46:43
			here inshallah just because I think the next
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:47
			method is again another example another parable and
		
00:46:47 --> 00:46:51
			there's a lot of parallels and I had
		
00:46:51 --> 00:46:53
			a presentation ready but I think we can
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:55
			get to that today we'll get to that
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:58
			about why our life is like water and
		
00:46:58 --> 00:47:00
			then some of the recent research not recent
		
00:47:00 --> 00:47:04
			it's pretty old actually but maybe some people
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:06
			have forgotten I think it was in 2006
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:08
			or 7 so we'll do that inshallah next
		
00:47:08 --> 00:47:10
			time if anybody has any questions about this
		
00:47:10 --> 00:47:18
			or any comments feel free to ask yes
		
00:47:22 --> 00:47:26
			because the focus is on dunya so it
		
00:47:26 --> 00:47:28
			focused on the one who had dunya and
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:30
			towards the end it focused on the one
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:33
			who was trying to rectify him right but
		
00:47:33 --> 00:47:35
			then the next example is also about dunya
		
00:47:35 --> 00:47:38
			right and remember the connection was that you
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:40
			know the two classes before we talked about
		
00:47:40 --> 00:47:42
			that the connection was that the Quraysh came
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:46
			to Prophet ﷺ where the surah Surah Kahf
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:51
			says that's where Prophet ﷺ was commanded to
		
00:47:51 --> 00:47:54
			go and sit with the poor people right
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:55
			why because the rich people didn't want and
		
00:47:55 --> 00:48:01
			then Allah told them then the entire conversation
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:04
			about dunya happens and then Allah is like
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:06
			here's an example of somebody who lived his
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:08
			life for dunya and an example of somebody
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:11
			both had similar starts one invested his entire
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:13
			life and focus in dunya so much so
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:17
			that he forgot Allah and the other kept
		
00:48:17 --> 00:48:20
			the dunya at bay worked whichever whatever you
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:22
			know he had to work with but then
		
00:48:22 --> 00:48:25
			didn't focus on that but focus on his
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:27
			akhirah and never forgot Allah in the process
		
00:48:27 --> 00:48:32
			right and then the next example is really
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:34
			interesting but I don't want to skip that
		
00:48:34 --> 00:48:38
			because I've collected a lot of information on
		
00:48:38 --> 00:48:43
			how our life is like water because the
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:45
			whole point of the method Allah is like
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:47
			the light the primary example and then I
		
00:48:47 --> 00:48:49
			want to do that as a collective discussion
		
00:48:49 --> 00:48:51
			so you know the example of our life
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:52
			is like water but let's just pause here
		
00:48:52 --> 00:48:56
			how is my life like water do you
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:59
			ever think about that and it's water come
		
00:48:59 --> 00:49:01
			out and until now home in a summer
		
00:49:01 --> 00:49:05
			but let's just pause and think how is
		
00:49:05 --> 00:49:07
			life like water in the first place right
		
00:49:07 --> 00:49:08
			and then we'll do a lot of that
		
00:49:08 --> 00:49:10
			you know I have around eight or nine
		
00:49:10 --> 00:49:12
			major points and then you know we'll learn
		
00:49:12 --> 00:49:15
			from everybody else inshallah here and then inshallah
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:18
			we'll stop next let next week the class
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:21
			would be at seven time is changing so
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:24
			we'll all pray maghrib at home we'll come
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:26
			here we'll start the class at seven and
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:28
			it will go straight from seven all the
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:32
			way to isha and then then we don't
		
00:49:32 --> 00:49:34
			have to end by nine so we can
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:37
			do even longer classes yeah so we can
		
00:49:37 --> 00:49:40
			finish the surah faster because at this pace
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:42
			then if you guys have time we can
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:44
			push push to like an hour hour and
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:47
			15 okay so then since you guys come
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:48
			you may as well benefit a little bit
		
00:49:48 --> 00:50:01
			more inshallah excellent yes please they
		
00:50:01 --> 00:50:02
			are two brothers but they're also talking about
		
00:50:02 --> 00:50:04
			his sohbah that you know the brother sometimes
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:05
			you have brothers that you may not have
		
00:50:05 --> 00:50:07
			sohbah right so he was also his friend
		
00:50:09 --> 00:50:11
			no it's an actual brother so in the
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:13
			tafsir books it says that there are two
		
00:50:13 --> 00:50:16
			brothers from the same father and they were
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:18
			left inheritance and they both started at the
		
00:50:18 --> 00:50:24
			same spot no it's the same brother the
		
00:50:24 --> 00:50:27
			same conversation it's the same brother but the
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:30
			brother is being denoted as a sahib that
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:32
			you're you're sometimes you have a brother that's
		
00:50:32 --> 00:50:34
			a really friendly but you have friendship with
		
00:50:34 --> 00:50:37
			your brother right yeah so it's still the
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:46
			same two people okay anybody else yes because
		
00:50:46 --> 00:50:49
			he placed that mile in a position where
		
00:50:49 --> 00:50:51
			Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala should only be there
		
00:50:53 --> 00:50:55
			actually by the way what you call the
		
00:50:55 --> 00:50:59
			book of a he and coffee right that
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:02
			the second tafsir of that is he had
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:04
			everything ruined and the money that he had
		
00:51:04 --> 00:51:05
			if you read the second tafsir of that
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:07
			it says what you call the book of
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:09
			a and coffee that he was taking his
		
00:51:09 --> 00:51:11
			money and he was like what happened that's
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:13
			the second tafsir of that the minute you
		
00:51:13 --> 00:51:15
			ask this question that came where you call
		
00:51:15 --> 00:51:17
			the book of a is referring to that
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:18
			like he was like so engulfed in this
		
00:51:18 --> 00:51:21
			worship that even when that happened he went
		
00:51:21 --> 00:51:22
			back to his money and he's like what
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:24
			happened to my money and he was still
		
00:51:24 --> 00:51:29
			tossing that money and we see this all
		
00:51:29 --> 00:51:33
			the time right may Allah protect us from
		
00:51:33 --> 00:51:35
			that level of dunya and that entrenchment of
		
00:51:35 --> 00:51:37
			dunya sometimes that you know we you know
		
00:51:37 --> 00:51:46
			yeah it's a it's sad I'm sorry
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:51
			you have to end the battery's gonna die
		
00:51:51 --> 00:51:55
			the less only concerned about that all right
		
00:51:55 --> 00:51:58

00:51:58 --> 00:52:01
			inshallah for next week seven o'clock we'll
		
00:52:01 --> 00:52:04

00:52:52 --> 00:52:53
			oh allah if any one of us are
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:55
			struggling with understanding the quran then open our
		
00:52:55 --> 00:52:58
			hearts towards this understanding for verily abu jahl
		
00:52:58 --> 00:53:00

00:53:00 --> 00:53:02
			was closed oh allah open our hearts so

			our sins oh allah free our hearts and
		
00:53:16 --> 00:53:19
			unshackle them from the shackles of the sin
		
00:53:19 --> 00:53:21
			and allow us to be illuminated with the
		
00:53:21 --> 00:53:22
			light of the quran
