It would set, it would incline away towards

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

their left, and we talked in detail about

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

what this is talking about and where this

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

event takes place.

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

That also a little bit tells us that

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

these people were in some form of northern

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

hemisphere, so they were not, like, they were

00:00:14 --> 00:00:19

in, like, Rome, Norway, European areas, because that's

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

where the sun has these anomalies of, like,

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

rising like this and setting like that.

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

If you are closer to the equator, then

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

the sun rises and sets like that, or

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

a little bit like that, just, but you

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

don't see massive deviations that are visible to

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

an eye.

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

That puts the entire theory that they were

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

in Jordan or they were in some Arab

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

country, you know, that becomes really questionable, right?

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

We don't have any confirmed reports.

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

They could be there, wallahu ala.

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

Then Allah ﷻ says, ذَلِكَ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ

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

This deviation of the sun left and right,

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

this were, this is ayat, this is one

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

of the signs of Allah ﷻ.

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

مَنْ يَهْدِ اللَّهُ Whosoever Allah ﷻ guides, فَهُوَ

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

الْمُهْتَدُ He is the one who is truly

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06

guided.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

وَمَنْ يُضْلِلُ And if Allah decides, وَمَنْ يُضْلِلُ

00:01:09 --> 00:01:15

Whosoever Allah misguides, فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُ وَلِيًّا مُرْشِدًا

00:01:15 --> 00:01:19

You shall find, you will never find for

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

that person any mentor that can guide him.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

And this is a really scary thing because

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28

if Allah ﷻ decides, He's not going to

00:01:28 --> 00:01:31

guide you, right?

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

Parents come to me, right?

00:01:33 --> 00:01:36

You may have children, you're going to have

00:01:36 --> 00:01:37

grandkids, right?

00:01:37 --> 00:01:40

We don't control any of that.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

We don't control the hidayah.

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45

I was recently in one of the states

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

and it was like, oh, I'm working so

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50

hard on my neighbor and, you know, they

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

have understood the Qur'an.

00:01:51 --> 00:01:55

They're so close but they're not accepting and

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

I want him to become Muslim and I

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

said, that's where you're going wrong.

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

We can't make anyone Muslim or we can't

00:02:03 --> 00:02:07

force anyone to conform, right?

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

We can advise, we can talk, we can

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

tell but at the end of the day,

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

it's Allah ﷻ on whose hand is hidayah

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

and guidance.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:24

The next ayah, Allah ﷻ says, وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ أَيْقَادًا

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

وَهُمْ رُقُودًا If you were to look at

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

them, you would see that they are awake

00:02:28 --> 00:02:29

and they were fast asleep.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:34

وَنُقَلِّبُهُمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ And we were

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

turning them to the left and right.

00:02:37 --> 00:02:41

وَكَلْبُهُمْ بَاسِطٌ ذِرَاعِهِ بِالْوَصِيدِ And their dog was

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

sitting at the entrance of the cave with

00:02:44 --> 00:02:48

the paws sitting outside, having the four legs

00:02:48 --> 00:02:49

stretched out.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

لَوَإِذْ طَلَاتَ عَلَيْهِمْ If you were to look

00:02:52 --> 00:02:55

at that scene of theirs, لَوَلَّيْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِرَارًا

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

You would have turned away out of fear.

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

لَوَلَّيْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِرَارًا You would have turned away,

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

running away from them.

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

وَلَمُلِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ رُعْبًا And your heart would have

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

been filled with terror and horror by looking

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

at that sight.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:10

Okay?

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13

If you missed the detailed explanation of that,

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

please go and check it out on YouTube.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

We talked, these two ayahs, we spent an

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

hour explaining them.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

There's a lot of things happening here that

00:03:20 --> 00:03:23

I'm sure if you've not heard this, you

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

should definitely go and check it out.

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

It's going to give you a complete new

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

perspective of how to understand this ayah, inshallah.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:35

Then Allah says, وَكَذَٰلِكَ And we had mentioned

00:03:35 --> 00:03:38

this multiple times in this tafsir class or

00:03:38 --> 00:03:39

any other tafsir class that I teach.

00:03:40 --> 00:03:45

Whenever Allah ﷻ says وَذْكُرْ وَكَذَٰلِكَ These words,

00:03:45 --> 00:03:48

they are an indication where Allah ﷻ is

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

like, now, if you have seen all the

00:03:50 --> 00:03:53

amazing things that Allah ﷻ has already done

00:03:53 --> 00:03:57

to Ashab ul Kahf by protecting them, by

00:03:57 --> 00:04:00

putting them in a cave, by preserving their

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

bodies for 300 years, by not allowing their

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

bodies to decay, all of the miracles by

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

the sun turning towards right, the miraculous nature

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12

of the sunrise, sunset, all of this وَكَذَٰلِكَ

00:04:12 --> 00:04:15

And like this, the way I did all

00:04:15 --> 00:04:19

of that, Allah is like, وَكَذَٰلِكَ بَعَثْنَاهُم And

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

likewise, we brought them back to life.

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

Okay.

00:04:23 --> 00:04:29

بَعَثْنَاهُم لِيَتَسَأَلُوا بَيْنَهُم So they may ask amongst

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

one another.

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

They may ask amongst them, one another.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:39

قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِّنْهُم One of them said, what

00:04:39 --> 00:04:40

did he say?

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

قَمْ لَبِثْتُم How long did you stay in

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

this cave?

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

قَالُوا لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ They said,

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

we stayed maybe a day or two.

00:04:51 --> 00:04:51

Right.

00:04:52 --> 00:04:55

Which means that all the indications around did

00:04:55 --> 00:04:58

not allude to a long stay.

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

If somebody, if a car, if you go

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

for vacation and you leave your car outside,

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04

you come back, you know right away the

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

car has been standing here for 30 days.

00:05:06 --> 00:05:07

It's got, you know, dust.

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

It's got like a film of, leaves and

00:05:10 --> 00:05:12

pine straws and all everything.

00:05:12 --> 00:05:13

You know that the car has been there,

00:05:13 --> 00:05:14

neglected.

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

They'd looked around their surroundings and there was

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

nothing to indicate to them that they had

00:05:19 --> 00:05:22

stayed for more than a day, maybe part

00:05:22 --> 00:05:23

of a day.

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

Okay.

00:05:26 --> 00:05:29

قَالُوا رَبُّكُمْ مَعْلَمُوا بِمَا لَبِثْتُم One of them

00:05:29 --> 00:05:32

said, Allah really knows how long you stayed.

00:05:33 --> 00:05:33

Right.

00:05:35 --> 00:05:38

So one person said, how long did we

00:05:38 --> 00:05:38

stay?

00:05:39 --> 00:05:40

قَالُوا رَبُّكُمْ مَعْلَمُوا بِمَا لَبِثْتُم A group said,

00:05:41 --> 00:05:44

we stayed a day or portion of a

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

day.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:45

قَالُوا رَبُّكُمْ مَعْلَمُوا بِمَا لَبِثْتُم The second group

00:05:45 --> 00:05:50

said, we had mentioned last time in the

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

tafsir of this ayah, this tells us how

00:05:52 --> 00:05:53

many people were there?

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

Seven.

00:05:54 --> 00:05:54

How?

00:05:55 --> 00:05:58

قَالَ قَائِلٌ وَاحِدٌ قَالُوا رَبُّكُمْ مَعْلَمُوا بِمَا لَبِثْتُم

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

Minimum of jama' is what?

00:06:00 --> 00:06:01

Three.

00:06:01 --> 00:06:03

So one group is three.

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

قَالُوا The other group is also minimum three.

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

So three, three plus one, seven.

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

Right?

00:06:10 --> 00:06:11

So that's how some of the mufassirun they

00:06:11 --> 00:06:13

said, we know that there were seven people.

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

Right?

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

فَبَعَثُوا أَحَدَكُمْ بِوَرِقِكُمْ هَذِهِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيَنظُرْ

00:06:19 --> 00:06:22

أَيُّهَا أَزْكَى طَعَامٌ So one of them said

00:06:22 --> 00:06:26

that, so send one of you with these

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

silver coins to the city and let him

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

find whichever is the purest food.

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

Last time we talked in detail about أَزْكَى

00:06:32 --> 00:06:33

طَعَامٌ Okay?

00:06:35 --> 00:06:39

فَلْيَأْتِكُمْ بِرِزْقٍ مِّنْهُ وَلْيَتَ لَقْطَفٍ Let that person

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

bring some of the rizq, i.e. from

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

this market.

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

Be very subtle and gentle.

00:06:45 --> 00:06:47

Do not rattle anyone.

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51

Be very, very, like put, you know, secret

00:06:51 --> 00:06:52

services mode.

00:06:52 --> 00:06:52

Okay?

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54

Nobody should know that you exist.

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

Just go in there quietly and come back.

00:06:57 --> 00:06:57

Okay?

00:06:57 --> 00:06:58

Why?

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

وَلَا يُشْعِلَنَّ بِكُمْ أَحَدًا Right?

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

You know, be very cautious and don't, don't

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

give away yourselves.

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

Don't let anyone, you know, catch you or

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

don't let this person, don't let yourself be

00:07:12 --> 00:07:13

given away to somebody else.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

You'll get caught with this.

00:07:17 --> 00:07:20

إِنَّهُمْ إِنْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلَيْكُمْ يَرْجُمُوكُمْ أَوْ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِي

00:07:20 --> 00:07:24

مِلَّتِهِنَّ If they happen to catch you, what's

00:07:24 --> 00:07:25

going to happen?

00:07:25 --> 00:07:27

They will force you back into their religion.

00:07:28 --> 00:07:31

أَوْ يَرْجُمُوكُمْ Or they will stone you to

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

death.

00:07:32 --> 00:07:35

يَرْجُمُوكُمْ That also tells you that the act

00:07:35 --> 00:07:38

of rajm has been around since way past.

00:07:38 --> 00:07:39

It's not something new, right?

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

It existed back in the day.

00:07:42 --> 00:07:44

أَوْ يَعِيدُكُمْ Or they're going to return you

00:07:44 --> 00:07:45

or force you back.

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48

فِي مِلَّتِهِنَّ In their way.

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

Okay?

00:07:49 --> 00:07:52

Now, مِلَلْ مِلَّة We didn't talk about this

00:07:52 --> 00:07:53

last time.

00:07:54 --> 00:07:56

The word مِلَّة, what's the root word of

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

it?

00:07:59 --> 00:08:01

مِلَمْ No, that can never be a root

00:08:01 --> 00:08:01

word.

00:08:02 --> 00:08:03

Okay.

00:08:03 --> 00:08:04

مِمْ لَمْ لَمْ Okay?

00:08:04 --> 00:08:05

مِلَلْ Okay?

00:08:06 --> 00:08:09

And مِلَلْ is هو اسم لما شرع الله

00:08:09 --> 00:08:14

لعباده على لسان الأنبياء That's the definition of

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

مِلَّة.

00:08:15 --> 00:08:16

مِلَلْ is اسم.

00:08:16 --> 00:08:19

It's a name for anything we give.

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

لِمَا شَرَعَ اللَّهُ لِعِبَادِهِ عَلَىٰ لِسَانِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ That

00:08:23 --> 00:08:28

which Allah has legislated for people through the

00:08:28 --> 00:08:30

tongues of prophets.

00:08:31 --> 00:08:36

The word مِلَّة is the legislation that Allah

00:08:36 --> 00:08:39

has legislated for people or shari'ah that

00:08:39 --> 00:08:42

has been legislated for people and that shari

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

'ah came to you and me through the

00:08:44 --> 00:08:49

tongues of anbiya or i.e. via anbiya

00:08:49 --> 00:08:50

alayhi salam.

00:08:50 --> 00:08:52

That's why in the Qur'an it says

00:08:52 --> 00:08:52

what?

00:08:53 --> 00:08:58

مِلَّةَ أَبِيكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ The way of the milla,

00:08:58 --> 00:09:03

the way of إِنِّي تَرَكْتُ مِلَّةَ قَوْمٍ I've

00:09:03 --> 00:09:05

left the way of the people that don't

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

worship Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and I'm

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

on the way of my forefathers.

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

So whenever you see the word مِلَّةَ it

00:09:11 --> 00:09:15

will allude to that but Surah Al-Imran

00:09:15 --> 00:09:16

where is it?

00:09:16 --> 00:09:20

فَاتَّبِعُوا مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ Follow the milla, the way

00:09:20 --> 00:09:24

of إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَاتَّبَعْتُ مِلَّةَ آبَائِي I

00:09:24 --> 00:09:27

follow the ways of my forefathers يَعْقُوبَ عَلَيْهِ

00:09:27 --> 00:09:28

السَّلَامُ and you know all of that.

00:09:28 --> 00:09:42

So this word is really powerful okay and

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

you will see that it is never ever

00:09:45 --> 00:09:49

you will never see مِلَّةُ الله in the

00:09:49 --> 00:09:52

Qur'an you will never see that it

00:09:52 --> 00:09:56

is attributed to Allah's way it's always attribute

00:09:56 --> 00:10:00

to a Nabi's way okay or sometimes people's

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03

way occasionally in the Qur'an okay and

00:10:03 --> 00:10:04

again as we said our purpose of this

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

is we want to allude to certain words

00:10:06 --> 00:10:07

so that we have better understanding of these

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

words now Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A

00:10:10 --> 00:11:39

'la says this is the new portion فَلَا

00:11:39 --> 00:11:48

تُمَارِ فِيهِمْ إِلَّا مِرَاءً ظَاهِرًا وَلَا

00:11:48 --> 00:11:58

تَسْتَفْتِ فِيهِمْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا وَلَا تَقُولَنَّ

00:11:58 --> 00:12:08

لِشَيْءٍ إِنِّي فَاعِلٌ ذَلِكَ غَدًا إِلَّا

00:12:08 --> 00:12:17

أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهِ وَاذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ

00:12:17 --> 00:12:25

إِذَا نَسِيْتَ وَقُلْ عَسَىٰ أَنْ يَهْدِيَنِ رَبِّي لِأَقْرَبَ

00:12:25 --> 00:12:35

مِنْ هَٰذَا رَشَدًا وَلَبِثُوا فِي كَهْفِهِمْ ثَلَاثَمِئَةٍ

00:12:35 --> 00:12:44

سِنِينَ وَازْدَادُوا تِسْعَاهِ قُلِ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا

00:12:44 --> 00:12:53

لَبِثُوا لَهُ غَيْبُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَبْصِرْ بِهِ

00:12:53 --> 00:13:02

وَأَسْمِعْ مَا لَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلَا

00:13:02 --> 00:13:14

يُشْرِكُ فِي حُكْمِهِ أَحَدًا So

00:13:14 --> 00:13:22

Allah ﷻ talks about in these verses وَكَذَلِكَ

00:13:22 --> 00:13:27

أَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ Again, the miraculous nature of what

00:13:27 --> 00:13:31

Allah ﷻ has done with them Likewise, even

00:13:31 --> 00:13:35

their discovery was of a miraculous nature What

00:13:35 --> 00:13:36

was the nature?

00:13:37 --> 00:13:39

So they were a group of people And

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41

they were all arguing about what affairs They

00:13:41 --> 00:13:45

were arguing about whether Allah ﷻ is capable

00:13:45 --> 00:13:50

of resurrecting The arwah ma'al ajsaad Is

00:13:50 --> 00:13:53

Allah ﷻ capable of resurrecting the spirit or

00:13:53 --> 00:13:56

the ruh with the body Or the ruh

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

alone and not the body So there was

00:13:58 --> 00:14:00

a massive debate And they were Muslims And

00:14:00 --> 00:14:02

there was a debate between the two individuals,

00:14:02 --> 00:14:05

two groups They were debating about this affair

00:14:06 --> 00:14:09

As they were debating, the king said Allah

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

ﷻ really knows what is going to happen

00:14:12 --> 00:14:15

So at that moment, Allah ﷻ resurrected them

00:14:16 --> 00:14:18

One of them He comes into the city

00:14:19 --> 00:14:23

Wait a minute, you are dressed weird Like

00:14:23 --> 00:14:25

you don't look like from the century Imagine

00:14:25 --> 00:14:28

if you Even now if you see pictures

00:14:28 --> 00:14:32

from 1930s That's odd Like they used to

00:14:32 --> 00:14:34

dress like that Even we would feel weird

00:14:34 --> 00:14:36

looking at them today Right?

00:14:36 --> 00:14:39

And this is 300 years And an entire

00:14:39 --> 00:14:45

generation, generation, generation, generation So 300 years So

00:14:45 --> 00:14:48

eight generations have passed Right?

00:14:48 --> 00:14:50

Every 25 years is generation So every 25

00:14:50 --> 00:14:54

years 300 So eight, nine generations And a

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

different religion has taken over the country now

00:14:56 --> 00:15:00

The last nine years has been a different

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

set of a new religion So when they

00:15:03 --> 00:15:05

find this person They're like, they find it

00:15:05 --> 00:15:06

very odd They're like, oh you're not from

00:15:06 --> 00:15:09

here But since these were the actual Muslims

00:15:09 --> 00:15:11

i.e. Christians who believed in the true

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

Christianity Not Trinity They said you are the

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

ones that we've been talking about The seven

00:15:18 --> 00:15:22

sleepers that went missing And we So they

00:15:22 --> 00:15:27

had this amazing stories about them Just today

00:15:27 --> 00:15:31

I was with a pastor having lunch He's

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

one of the big Baptist church He's the

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

pastor And I said the story of seven

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

sleepers is in your Bible He's like, no,

00:15:38 --> 00:15:40

it's not I'm like, yeah, it's in your

00:15:40 --> 00:15:45

Bible No, it's not I'm like, it's in

00:15:45 --> 00:15:50

your Bible Very strange Because they don't want

00:15:50 --> 00:15:55

to affirm anything that's in our book It's

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

in the Catholic Bible It's in the Presbyterian

00:15:57 --> 00:16:00

Bible It's in the Bible No, no, it's

00:16:00 --> 00:16:02

not in the Baptist Bible I'm like, well,

00:16:02 --> 00:16:04

I'm sorry But like for me as an

00:16:04 --> 00:16:07

outsider, it's in your Bible Whether it's in

00:16:07 --> 00:16:09

a Catholic Bible or a Presbyterian Bible It

00:16:09 --> 00:16:10

doesn't matter to me It's in your Bible

00:16:10 --> 00:16:12

No, no, but this particular book is not

00:16:12 --> 00:16:14

in our You know, we don't have this

00:16:14 --> 00:16:17

one That's fine It's there in the Bible

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

So they also have the story of seven

00:16:19 --> 00:16:22

sleepers Jewish people also have the story of

00:16:22 --> 00:16:23

seven sleepers The Buddhists have the story of

00:16:23 --> 00:16:25

seven sleepers So Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta

00:16:25 --> 00:16:28

-A'la over here is saying i.e.

00:16:28 --> 00:16:32

their discovery i.e. the community discovered them

00:16:32 --> 00:16:35

That itself was of a miraculous nature How

00:16:35 --> 00:16:37

they found him in the city And then

00:16:37 --> 00:16:38

he ended up being in the king And

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

then the entire king Everybody came to pay

00:16:41 --> 00:16:46

respects to them Why?

00:16:46 --> 00:16:49

So they may know Right?

00:16:49 --> 00:16:53

Anna wa'ad Allahi haqq The promise of

00:16:53 --> 00:16:54

Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la Which

00:16:54 --> 00:16:54

wa'ad?

00:16:56 --> 00:16:58

The resurrection Beautiful Al-wa'ad What is

00:16:58 --> 00:16:59

the wa'ad?

00:16:59 --> 00:17:00

The resurrection Okay?

00:17:01 --> 00:17:07

Now, according to The Mufassirun There's lots of

00:17:07 --> 00:17:10

opinion on what this wa'ad is Okay?

00:17:11 --> 00:17:12

Is it the wa'ad of Jannah?

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

Is it the wa'ad of Hisab?

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

Is it the wa'ad of resurrection?

00:17:18 --> 00:17:19

But it all had Is it the wa

00:17:19 --> 00:17:20

'ad of what is going to happen in

00:17:20 --> 00:17:21

Barzakh?

00:17:21 --> 00:17:24

But all of that The unseen that we

00:17:24 --> 00:17:26

all believe in That's what it's referring to

00:17:26 --> 00:17:28

Wa'ad Whatever you want to take it

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

Okay?

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

Anna wa'ad Allahi haqq Wa anna as

00:17:32 --> 00:17:37

-sa'ata laa rayba feeha And the hour

00:17:38 --> 00:17:44

It is There is absolutely no doubt in

00:17:44 --> 00:17:46

the hour The hour is going to happen

00:17:46 --> 00:17:48

It is going to come Laa rayba feeha

00:17:48 --> 00:17:52

There is no doubt in the hour The

00:17:52 --> 00:17:55

word Ahtharna I forgot to mention this It

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

just came to my mind The word Ahtharna

00:17:58 --> 00:18:01

comes from the root word of What's the

00:18:01 --> 00:18:02

root word?

00:18:03 --> 00:18:04

Ayn Thara Okay?

00:18:05 --> 00:18:07

The very obvious The root word is Ayn

00:18:07 --> 00:18:09

Thara Okay?

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

So usually Actually comes after Usually Ala Right?

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

You'll use the word Ala And the word

00:18:22 --> 00:18:24

Uthoor is something really interesting The choice of

00:18:24 --> 00:18:26

the word Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A

00:18:26 --> 00:18:27

'la Right?

00:18:27 --> 00:18:29

Allah says in English We found them or

00:18:29 --> 00:18:33

we caused them to discover Uthoor is basically

00:18:34 --> 00:18:38

Ittila'u ala shay'in To discover something

00:18:40 --> 00:18:45

Au dhafru ala shay'in Or to stumble

00:18:45 --> 00:18:49

upon something Ba'dat talab When you were seeking

00:18:49 --> 00:18:53

it So this is a subtle indication That

00:18:53 --> 00:18:56

all over these 300 years There were a

00:18:56 --> 00:18:59

group of people The adventurers or explorers That

00:18:59 --> 00:19:02

were seeking these seven people What happened to

00:19:02 --> 00:19:05

them So when Allah uses the word Ahtharna

00:19:05 --> 00:19:07

It was not like they just randomly stumbled

00:19:07 --> 00:19:10

upon 300 years And there were a group

00:19:10 --> 00:19:13

of people Everybody was seeking to find out

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

what happened to them And Allah says Wa

00:19:15 --> 00:19:18

kathalika Ahtharna i.e. This is how we

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

fulfilled their seeking And that's what's hidden in

00:19:22 --> 00:19:31

the word Uthoor Okay And the word Wa

00:19:31 --> 00:19:34

'ad Anna Wa'adallahi Haqq What's the root

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

word of Wa'ad?

00:19:35 --> 00:19:38

This is very easy Wa'ad There's only

00:19:38 --> 00:19:40

three words It can be You can't have

00:19:40 --> 00:19:43

a two-letter root word Wa wa'indal

00:19:43 --> 00:19:46

MashaAllah Wow That was such an amazing discovery

00:19:47 --> 00:19:48

Hanifa bhai How did you find that?

00:19:50 --> 00:19:55

Okay Wa'ad Is a promise And this

00:19:55 --> 00:19:59

promise can be Good or bad Okay So

00:19:59 --> 00:20:03

very important for us to know that You

00:20:03 --> 00:20:05

can say Wa'adtu binaf'in I promised

00:20:05 --> 00:20:08

him for some benefit Okay And from here

00:20:08 --> 00:20:11

is When the word Wa'ad turns into

00:20:11 --> 00:20:14

Wa'eed Right When it turns into Wa

00:20:14 --> 00:20:18

'eed It becomes for Sham It becomes for

00:20:18 --> 00:20:21

evil or something Wa'eed You know This

00:20:21 --> 00:20:23

is an extreme warning Be careful This is

00:20:23 --> 00:20:25

not It is a promise You're going to

00:20:25 --> 00:20:26

have a consequence But it's not a really

00:20:26 --> 00:20:28

good consequence It's a consequence you should be

00:20:28 --> 00:20:35

afraid of Okay Coming back Allah Subhanahu wa

00:20:35 --> 00:20:38

ta'ala says Ithi atanaza'una baynahum amrahum

00:20:38 --> 00:20:39

So what happened?

00:20:39 --> 00:20:42

The group of them They started having tanazu'

00:20:42 --> 00:20:46

between them The two groups The one who

00:20:46 --> 00:20:49

said Ruh can be resurrected without the body

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

And the other said No, no, no Body

00:20:51 --> 00:20:53

and the ruh combined The group came And

00:20:53 --> 00:20:56

now their two groups got divided Right And

00:20:56 --> 00:20:59

they are having this dispute amongst themselves Tanazu'

00:21:00 --> 00:21:02

What was the affair of tanazu'?

00:21:02 --> 00:21:07

There are five opinions about that What was

00:21:07 --> 00:21:07

the dispute about?

00:21:08 --> 00:21:11

Okay Do you have an English translation?

00:21:11 --> 00:21:12

What do they say about in the English

00:21:12 --> 00:21:13

translation?

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

I don't have one open But I'll open

00:21:15 --> 00:21:17

one Anybody has an English translation?

00:21:17 --> 00:21:18

What is the tanazu'?

00:21:18 --> 00:21:20

Baynahum Do they allude to that?

00:21:23 --> 00:21:27

Yeah Each other about the case of the

00:21:27 --> 00:21:30

youth Over here the translation says The case

00:21:30 --> 00:21:32

of the youth after their death So first

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

one Ahaduha The first opinion of tanazu' Is

00:21:35 --> 00:21:40

annahum tanazu'u fil-buniyani wal-masjid The

00:21:40 --> 00:21:44

tanazu' The dispute was Should we make a

00:21:44 --> 00:21:47

masjid Or should we make a tomb on

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

top of them?

00:21:48 --> 00:21:50

That's the first opinion of tanazu' The second

00:21:50 --> 00:21:54

one Is annahum tanazu'u fil-ba's Faqala

00:21:54 --> 00:21:58

al-muslimun tub'athu al-ajshadu wal-arwah

00:21:58 --> 00:22:00

The Muslims, the people who were actually on

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

the right aqeedah They said Our ruh and

00:22:02 --> 00:22:05

body will be resurrected The others that did

00:22:05 --> 00:22:07

not have the right aqeedah said There's no

00:22:07 --> 00:22:09

way the body can be resurrected Ruh may

00:22:09 --> 00:22:12

be possible Okay That's the second tanazu' The

00:22:12 --> 00:22:17

third one Annahum tanazu'u ma yasna'una

00:22:17 --> 00:22:20

bil-fitya What do we do with the

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

people?

00:22:21 --> 00:22:23

They're dead now And remember the story we

00:22:23 --> 00:22:26

mentioned before Why did they die after they

00:22:26 --> 00:22:27

were resurrected?

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

Why did they die?

00:22:28 --> 00:22:29

Or did I not mention it?

00:22:30 --> 00:22:32

Okay I thought I mentioned it Huh?

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

So when they were resurrected They came back

00:22:36 --> 00:22:38

They looked at the entire I think I

00:22:38 --> 00:22:41

did mention it I did mention it That

00:22:41 --> 00:22:43

it became so difficult for them to see

00:22:43 --> 00:22:46

that the world has moved on Right And

00:22:46 --> 00:22:49

300 years This is not a world we

00:22:49 --> 00:22:51

can live in So they made dua to

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

Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la They

00:22:52 --> 00:22:54

wrote Allah We would like to go back

00:22:55 --> 00:22:56

We don't want to live in this world

00:22:56 --> 00:22:58

right now It's kind of the same that

00:22:58 --> 00:23:00

when I told I told I gave the

00:23:00 --> 00:23:02

example of the prisoner That when the prisoner

00:23:03 --> 00:23:05

If they go for 25 years in prison

00:23:05 --> 00:23:07

for some you know crime They come back

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

out What happens to them?

00:23:08 --> 00:23:11

Right Most of them they end up committing

00:23:11 --> 00:23:14

suicide Right Because the world when they come

00:23:14 --> 00:23:18

after 25 years It's so different They can't

00:23:18 --> 00:23:20

fit in It becomes so difficult for them

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

And the system is not designed to accommodate

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

Whereas the incarceration system in Islam was very

00:23:26 --> 00:23:29

different Right If you look at the history

00:23:29 --> 00:23:32

of incarceration The incarceration system in Islam was

00:23:32 --> 00:23:36

That you were incarcerated within the society They

00:23:36 --> 00:23:38

don't annex you from the society Because they

00:23:38 --> 00:23:40

want the society to cure you and fix

00:23:40 --> 00:23:43

you So there would be households that were

00:23:43 --> 00:23:47

known Leaders of household And every leader in

00:23:47 --> 00:23:49

a Qabila had a prison attached to their

00:23:49 --> 00:23:51

house And they would be put on those

00:23:51 --> 00:23:53

prisons That's what they did in the Turkish

00:23:53 --> 00:23:55

empire Right The Turks would also have their

00:23:55 --> 00:23:58

own private prisons The food will be given

00:23:58 --> 00:24:00

to them They will be treated well They

00:24:00 --> 00:24:03

will be honored And because of that constant

00:24:03 --> 00:24:07

interaction with the Muslims And with good Akhlaq

00:24:07 --> 00:24:09

of the Muslims They would fix So it

00:24:09 --> 00:24:12

was never about isolation It's never about that

00:24:12 --> 00:24:14

It's a very foreign concept to Muslims What

00:24:14 --> 00:24:17

is happening today in incarceration Especially in America

00:24:17 --> 00:24:21

It's quite sad So what do the issue

00:24:21 --> 00:24:23

that happened What do we do with these

00:24:23 --> 00:24:25

youth that have died?

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

Should we bury them?

00:24:27 --> 00:24:28

Should we leave them as is?

00:24:29 --> 00:24:30

The issue was Do we dig a grave

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

and put them in the grave?

00:24:31 --> 00:24:32

Or do we let them sleep on the

00:24:32 --> 00:24:34

ground like that The way Allah kept them

00:24:34 --> 00:24:35

for 300 years That was the dispute that

00:24:35 --> 00:24:41

they had The fourth opinion is They disputed

00:24:41 --> 00:24:43

on how long did they stay 300 years

00:24:43 --> 00:24:45

309 years How long would have been No,

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

no, they've only been here for 50 years

00:24:47 --> 00:24:48

So there was a huge dispute amongst the

00:24:48 --> 00:24:49

group of people In the number of years

00:24:49 --> 00:24:52

that they stayed And the last one is

00:24:52 --> 00:24:56

They started arguing They said no, no, no

00:24:56 --> 00:24:58

These are not the seven There were more

00:24:58 --> 00:25:00

Because there were some people who had opinion

00:25:00 --> 00:25:01

And some are like no, no, no There

00:25:01 --> 00:25:03

were only six This the sixth seventh one

00:25:03 --> 00:25:06

is extra So what was their exact number?

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

That was also the dispute that they had

00:25:08 --> 00:25:10

Okay The reason I mentioned all of this

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

to you And all of these opinions of

00:25:13 --> 00:25:18

this word Tanazu Is founded in the first

00:25:18 --> 00:25:22

three generations of our Salaf Which tells you

00:25:22 --> 00:25:26

that Qur'an is open to Within the

00:25:26 --> 00:25:30

Salaf also They had multiple interpretations Now if

00:25:30 --> 00:25:32

I took one interpretation And you took another

00:25:32 --> 00:25:36

And you took another All of our interpretations

00:25:37 --> 00:25:39

Will cause an Ikhtilaf in the society But

00:25:39 --> 00:25:44

that Ikhtilaf or that variance Is variance of

00:25:44 --> 00:25:48

Tanawwuh It created variety of understandings amongst us

00:25:49 --> 00:25:54

Right Whereas the Fuqaha Whereas the people of

00:25:54 --> 00:25:56

jurists When they talk about Fiqhi rulings It's

00:25:56 --> 00:25:59

always like it's either Halal and Haram It's

00:25:59 --> 00:26:01

like Makruh or Mubah It's like two opposites

00:26:01 --> 00:26:05

But for Tafsir You actually understand the variety

00:26:05 --> 00:26:07

that exists Within the Tafsir books And that's

00:26:07 --> 00:26:10

the only purpose of mentioning Like some of

00:26:10 --> 00:26:13

the ayat You will sometimes find 10 Aqwal

00:26:13 --> 00:26:16

And they're all by the Sahabahs or the

00:26:16 --> 00:26:18

Tabi'een So if the Sahabahs and Tabi

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

'eens could not agree You and I can't

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

We will not agree And that's the point

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

of understanding That you know those variances existed

00:26:30 --> 00:26:32

And the version of Islam that you know

00:26:32 --> 00:26:34

May actually come with one of the 10

00:26:34 --> 00:26:38

opinions only Right It could be a second

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

opinion And somebody else follows that opinion You're

00:26:40 --> 00:26:41

like oh this is wrong But you don't

00:26:41 --> 00:26:43

know that that's actually a valid opinion in

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

Tafsir Okay And that's the purpose Wa kathalika

00:26:46 --> 00:26:49

We finished this part Fa qalu binoo AAalayhim

00:26:49 --> 00:26:53

bunyana A group of them said That let's

00:26:53 --> 00:26:55

make a building upon them i.e. let's

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

make a tomb out of them Rabbuhum a

00:26:57 --> 00:27:00

'lamu bihim Allah really knows the exact amount

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

of who they are And what happened to

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

them Qala allatheena ghalabu AAala amrihim The second

00:27:05 --> 00:27:08

group who was able to To overpower their

00:27:08 --> 00:27:11

opinion on the group What did they say?

00:27:13 --> 00:27:17

Lanattakhidhanna AAalayhim masjidaa We'll place We'll create a

00:27:17 --> 00:27:20

place of worship over them Okay Now as

00:27:20 --> 00:27:29

Muslims You had a question Yes yes The

00:27:29 --> 00:27:30

seven people have made dua that they want

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

to die And now the community is divided

00:27:32 --> 00:27:33

What do we do with them?

00:27:33 --> 00:27:34

Do we bury them?

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

Do we leave them as is?

00:27:36 --> 00:27:37

Do we make a tomb out of them?

00:27:38 --> 00:27:39

Do we create a masjid out of them?

00:27:40 --> 00:27:42

So the the ones that the opinion that

00:27:42 --> 00:27:44

prevailed Is that let's make a masjid out

00:27:44 --> 00:27:46

of them Now question for you Can we

00:27:46 --> 00:27:47

make a masjid out of graves?

00:27:48 --> 00:27:53

In our sharia We can't Right Can there

00:27:53 --> 00:27:55

be a grave in a masjid?

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

I see the beautiful question marks on every

00:28:02 --> 00:28:06

person's face They're like Can we have a

00:28:06 --> 00:28:07

grave in a masjid?

00:28:07 --> 00:28:13

No What happens to masjid What happens to

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

masjid an-Nabawi?

00:28:14 --> 00:28:16

What is next to it?

00:28:16 --> 00:28:17

Huh?

00:28:18 --> 00:28:23

There's next to it There's a wall Okay

00:28:23 --> 00:28:27

So there's a room So we can have

00:28:27 --> 00:28:29

graves Can we have a grave within a

00:28:29 --> 00:28:30

masjid?

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

No?

00:28:38 --> 00:28:41

Come on guys this is Yes Yes?

00:28:42 --> 00:28:47

No Okay So we cannot plan A masjid

00:28:47 --> 00:28:50

with a grave in the middle If the

00:28:50 --> 00:28:53

masjid grows And it encompasses the grave Then

00:28:53 --> 00:28:56

it's fine So the grave of Prophet ﷺ

00:28:56 --> 00:28:58

Was not planned to be part of the

00:28:58 --> 00:29:01

masjid It was in initially If you look

00:29:01 --> 00:29:04

at the the the the drawings of the

00:29:04 --> 00:29:08

the The masjid of Rasulullah It was the

00:29:08 --> 00:29:11

boundary And it was outside of the masjid

00:29:11 --> 00:29:14

But then later on the masjid expanded And

00:29:14 --> 00:29:17

it encompassed Similarly the grave of Ayub ﷺ

00:29:17 --> 00:29:20

And all of the other prophets in Turkey

00:29:20 --> 00:29:22

that you go Right sometimes they're like right

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

in the middle of the masjid They were

00:29:24 --> 00:29:25

never intended to be in the masjid The

00:29:25 --> 00:29:28

masjid was separate The ruling is you can

00:29:28 --> 00:29:32

have a grave in a masjid property As

00:29:32 --> 00:29:34

long as it is not facing the qibla

00:29:34 --> 00:29:35

What happened?

00:29:37 --> 00:29:38

Huh?

00:29:39 --> 00:29:41

Yeah there can be So the ruling is

00:29:41 --> 00:29:43

it shouldn't be facing the place where we're

00:29:43 --> 00:29:45

like So imagine the masjid is this way

00:29:45 --> 00:29:46

And we're praying this way And we put

00:29:46 --> 00:29:48

a grave right in front of the qibla

00:29:49 --> 00:29:51

Okay we should have the grave at the

00:29:51 --> 00:29:52

back There is nothing wrong in that if

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

the grave is there It shouldn't be in

00:29:54 --> 00:29:57

the main musallah area Right again there's a

00:29:57 --> 00:29:59

khilaf Even if it is in the musallah

00:29:59 --> 00:30:00

area As long as it's at the back

00:30:00 --> 00:30:03

And it's not facing where we are praying

00:30:03 --> 00:30:06

Okay now if the masjid expands And it

00:30:06 --> 00:30:08

encompasses the grave Then that's a different story

00:30:10 --> 00:30:13

But we're not you know We shouldn't plan

00:30:13 --> 00:30:16

for that Right there are masjids in UK

00:30:16 --> 00:30:18

that are being built I don't know if

00:30:18 --> 00:30:20

you know that There are masjids that are

00:30:20 --> 00:30:21

being built Where they're like okay this They're

00:30:21 --> 00:30:27

building an entire masjid around a grave Ajeeb

00:30:29 --> 00:30:35

So next ayah Sayaquluna thalathatun rabi'uhum kalbuhum

00:30:35 --> 00:30:37

A group of them are going to say

00:30:37 --> 00:30:41

sayaquluna Prophet ﷺ is being told That now

00:30:41 --> 00:30:44

that we have told you this story And

00:30:44 --> 00:30:46

this is very important for us to understand

00:30:46 --> 00:30:50

This is something not new Who were the

00:30:50 --> 00:30:53

people who asked the question about This the

00:30:53 --> 00:30:57

jews The jews asked this question Tell us

00:30:57 --> 00:31:00

about ashabul kahf So one of their classic

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

tactic Is when haqq becomes visible And mashaAllah

00:31:05 --> 00:31:07

we're all witnessing it today In every single

00:31:07 --> 00:31:11

news conference and news report Right when haqq

00:31:11 --> 00:31:15

becomes visible Sayaquluna thalathatun huwa rabi'uhum kalbuhum

00:31:15 --> 00:31:18

So they have nothing left but to start

00:31:18 --> 00:31:22

doubting the facts So they'll start doubting the

00:31:22 --> 00:31:24

facts Oh no no no The story he

00:31:24 --> 00:31:26

told you This is the story of someone

00:31:26 --> 00:31:29

else For us the story is sayaquluna And

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

Allah is already predicting It's like oh Prophet

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

of Allah Some will soon say There were

00:31:36 --> 00:31:40

three and the fourth was a dog Wayaquluna

00:31:40 --> 00:31:42

Another group is going to say Khamsatun sadisuhum

00:31:42 --> 00:31:45

kalbuhum There were five and the sixth was

00:31:45 --> 00:31:48

their dog Wayaquluna And they're going to say

00:31:48 --> 00:31:52

Sabatun wa thaminuhum kalbuhum Their seven and the

00:31:52 --> 00:31:56

eight was the dog Furrabi a'lamu bi

00:31:56 --> 00:31:59

'iddatihim ma ya'lamuhum illa qaleel Allah really

00:31:59 --> 00:32:03

knows their exact number Very few people know

00:32:03 --> 00:32:06

their number Who knows this qaleel Who was

00:32:06 --> 00:32:10

from the qaleel Ibn Abbas radiallahu anhu says

00:32:11 --> 00:32:15

Wa ana minal qaleel La ya'lamuhum illa

00:32:15 --> 00:32:17

qaleel That nobody knows except a few group

00:32:17 --> 00:32:19

of people In the nabalis of Ibn Abbas

00:32:19 --> 00:32:21

said I am the qaleel Like I am

00:32:21 --> 00:32:25

the few people who know Right He did

00:32:25 --> 00:32:26

Hum sab'ah He said there were seven

00:32:26 --> 00:32:29

Okay Now what is Allah Subh'anaHu Wa

00:32:29 --> 00:32:30

Ta-A'la Telling the Prophet salallahu alayhi

00:32:30 --> 00:32:36

wa sallam Falatumari feehim Okay Don't argue Don't

00:32:36 --> 00:32:41

get into an argument with them illa miraan

00:32:41 --> 00:32:43

zahiran wa la tastafti feehim minhum ahada Do

00:32:43 --> 00:32:48

not argue about this except with sure knowledge

00:32:48 --> 00:32:50

Oh Prophet of Allah You must have sure

00:32:50 --> 00:32:52

knowledge to argue with anything Obviously Rasulullah has

00:32:52 --> 00:32:55

the knowledge But who's being taught We are

00:32:55 --> 00:32:58

being told Don't argue about things without sure

00:32:58 --> 00:33:01

knowledge Oh I think this is how things

00:33:01 --> 00:33:05

are Well who told you No no we've

00:33:05 --> 00:33:08

never seen this Like I was recently in

00:33:08 --> 00:33:11

a masjid And I said something like you

00:33:11 --> 00:33:15

know The food of the jinns is bones

00:33:16 --> 00:33:18

Right So one of the board members called

00:33:18 --> 00:33:20

me He's like you know My father was

00:33:20 --> 00:33:21

an imam And so and so was an

00:33:21 --> 00:33:23

imam I've never heard this hadith I said

00:33:23 --> 00:33:27

If you did not know something Does not

00:33:27 --> 00:33:30

mean it doesn't exist Right So be very

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

careful That when we argue about affairs of

00:33:32 --> 00:33:35

Islam When we hold a particular opinion We

00:33:35 --> 00:33:39

must understand the entirety of it On a

00:33:39 --> 00:33:41

particular issue You must you may be probably

00:33:41 --> 00:33:44

know one hadith about it But in our

00:33:44 --> 00:33:46

hadith collection There might be 27 different hadiths

00:33:46 --> 00:33:50

about it And sometimes there are sahih hadith

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

And this is a tangent But it's important

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

sometimes Just just enough of a taste for

00:33:54 --> 00:33:56

us Sometimes there's a hadith And it will

00:33:56 --> 00:34:00

be sahih hadith Authentic with all the narrations

00:34:00 --> 00:34:03

And every single hadith scholar will reject it

00:34:08 --> 00:34:10

Yeah And I'll give you an example of

00:34:10 --> 00:34:13

that We have 15 hadiths about Prophet ﷺ

00:34:13 --> 00:34:17

skin color Right He was white with rosy

00:34:17 --> 00:34:22

complexion One hadith with authentic chain Anas ibn

00:34:22 --> 00:34:29

Malik He says He was wheatish in complexion

00:34:30 --> 00:34:33

And this is an authentic hadith But if

00:34:33 --> 00:34:36

you read the explanation of this hadith Most

00:34:36 --> 00:34:38

of the scholars Majority of them have rejected

00:34:38 --> 00:34:43

this hadith And they say The word asmar

00:34:43 --> 00:34:49

and azhar Are very closely written Like asmar

00:34:49 --> 00:34:53

Azhar Sound wise That meme could have been

00:34:53 --> 00:34:55

confused as the azhar And you know So

00:34:55 --> 00:34:59

they said this hadith Because we have 14

00:34:59 --> 00:35:01

other hadiths that tell us That his complexion

00:35:01 --> 00:35:05

was azhar It was rosy white rosy complexion

00:35:05 --> 00:35:08

This hadith There is an error in two

00:35:08 --> 00:35:12

things Either the transmission of the khat Or

00:35:12 --> 00:35:14

the person said something And the writer wrote

00:35:14 --> 00:35:18

something else Because we have 14 other narrations

00:35:18 --> 00:35:20

That tell us the opposite Okay Now a

00:35:20 --> 00:35:23

person may read that And that's the sad

00:35:23 --> 00:35:25

reality I saw somebody online They're like Oh

00:35:25 --> 00:35:27

Prophet ﷺ was you know Dark brown in

00:35:27 --> 00:35:30

color It's nothing wrong in dark brown color

00:35:30 --> 00:35:31

But that's not the reality of who he

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

is Because we have 14 other narrations to

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

do that So it's important that We don't

00:35:36 --> 00:35:38

argue in affairs of deen Unless we have

00:35:38 --> 00:35:41

actual knowledge about that And that's why you

00:35:41 --> 00:35:43

know Some people used to say Oh do

00:35:43 --> 00:35:45

you want me to tell you the Qur

00:35:45 --> 00:35:46

'an and sunnah Or should I tell you

00:35:46 --> 00:35:48

the answer of Imam Malik?

00:35:49 --> 00:35:51

Right Do I tell you the Malik opinion

00:35:51 --> 00:35:52

Or do I tell you the Qur'an

00:35:52 --> 00:35:52

and sunnah?

00:35:52 --> 00:35:54

Right So my teacher used to say No

00:35:54 --> 00:35:56

no Give me the understanding of Qur'an

00:35:56 --> 00:35:59

and sunnah of Imam Malik I don't want

00:35:59 --> 00:36:02

your understanding Because there's no doubt that Imam

00:36:02 --> 00:36:04

Malik Understood the sunnah better than you Me

00:36:04 --> 00:36:08

and entire ulama today combined Right And that's

00:36:08 --> 00:36:09

why we go back with the history And

00:36:09 --> 00:36:12

we you know We stick to the tradition

00:36:12 --> 00:36:15

of those scholars Whose Allah's name Allah has

00:36:15 --> 00:36:18

preserved Now does that mean there were no

00:36:18 --> 00:36:19

other scholars At the time of Imam Malik?

00:36:19 --> 00:36:22

There were Laith ibn Sa'd An Egyptian scholar

00:36:22 --> 00:36:26

He was there Imam Malik himself said اللَّيْثُ

00:36:26 --> 00:36:29

أَفْقَهُ مِنِّي Laith has more fiqh than me

00:36:31 --> 00:36:35

وَلَكِنَّ أَصْحَابَهُ ضَيَّعَهُ But Allah did not Because

00:36:35 --> 00:36:38

his companions His students They did not codify

00:36:38 --> 00:36:40

the teaching of Laith ibn Sa'd So today

00:36:40 --> 00:36:42

you and I don't have any teachings of

00:36:42 --> 00:36:45

Laith ibn Sa'd But Allah preserved Imam Malik

00:36:45 --> 00:36:48

throughout the 1500 years And that's why you

00:36:48 --> 00:36:50

know those traditions have passed down So don't

00:36:50 --> 00:36:51

argue about the affairs If you don't have

00:36:51 --> 00:36:55

knowledge وَلَا تَسْتَفْتِ فِيهِمْ مِّنْهُمْ أَحَدًا O Prophet

00:36:55 --> 00:36:58

of Allah Do not inquire or do not

00:36:58 --> 00:37:01

go to the Jews وَلَا تَسْتَفْتِ فِيهِمْ Do

00:37:01 --> 00:37:05

not debate about this affair Neither consult any

00:37:05 --> 00:37:15

of the people about this affair Okay Now

00:37:15 --> 00:37:17

question for everybody Why was the number not

00:37:17 --> 00:37:19

mentioned in the Qur'an?

00:37:20 --> 00:37:22

Wasn't it very easy for Allah to tell

00:37:22 --> 00:37:23

us there were seven?

00:37:25 --> 00:37:27

Why hide the number?

00:37:28 --> 00:37:32

It's not important We want seven or eighty

00:37:32 --> 00:37:35

It doesn't make difference for Imam Beautiful Right

00:37:35 --> 00:37:38

It doesn't matter If there were five There

00:37:38 --> 00:37:42

were ten There were hundred Or one We

00:37:42 --> 00:37:44

also have a story of one person فَأَمَاتَهُ

00:37:44 --> 00:37:46

اللَّهُ مِئَةَ عَامٍ We have a story of

00:37:46 --> 00:37:49

this one person Who Allah's like You know

00:37:49 --> 00:37:50

he's like Oh how is this land going

00:37:50 --> 00:37:51

to resurrect?

00:37:51 --> 00:37:53

Allah made him die for a hundred years

00:37:53 --> 00:37:56

ثُمَّ بَعْثَ Then Allah resurrected him And said

00:37:56 --> 00:37:58

look at your donkey and look at your

00:37:58 --> 00:38:01

food Your food did not deteriorate Your donkey

00:38:01 --> 00:38:02

died And now look at how we are

00:38:02 --> 00:38:05

going to reflesh your donkey The bones of

00:38:05 --> 00:38:08

the donkey We will provide We'll reflesh them

00:38:08 --> 00:38:12

كَيْفَ نُنشِدُهَا عِظَامًا ثُمَّ نَكْسُوهَا لَحْمَةً We will

00:38:12 --> 00:38:14

bring the bones back And we'll put Look

00:38:14 --> 00:38:16

at all of that One person So for

00:38:16 --> 00:38:19

us the number doesn't matter It's we believe

00:38:19 --> 00:38:23

in the muhajaza of Allah The second thing

00:38:23 --> 00:38:29

is that We should not ask about that

00:38:29 --> 00:38:33

which is of no benefit Sometimes we ask

00:38:33 --> 00:38:35

questions You know when I go sometimes to

00:38:35 --> 00:38:37

different places You know Shaykh can we bite

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

into the burger?

00:38:41 --> 00:38:42

What?

00:38:42 --> 00:38:44

What kind of question is that?

00:38:45 --> 00:38:49

Now if I give you the answer Like

00:38:49 --> 00:38:50

you're gonna have to eat it just like

00:38:50 --> 00:38:54

that all the time So he's like he's

00:38:54 --> 00:38:55

like what do you mean?

00:38:55 --> 00:38:57

And I said I said By the way

00:38:57 --> 00:38:58

you guys didn't ask the answer so you

00:38:58 --> 00:39:01

can bite the burgers Okay just FYI But

00:39:01 --> 00:39:04

the answer is no It is makrooh to

00:39:04 --> 00:39:07

bite into food Prophet ﷺ did not like

00:39:07 --> 00:39:09

to bite into things He preferred to break

00:39:09 --> 00:39:11

it and then eat it Okay It's just

00:39:11 --> 00:39:14

makrooh It's not it's disliked But again if

00:39:14 --> 00:39:16

if there were a certain type of food

00:39:16 --> 00:39:19

Rasulullah would always prefer to actually Have a

00:39:19 --> 00:39:20

morsel with his hand and then and eat

00:39:20 --> 00:39:23

it Rather than bite into something Right Having

00:39:23 --> 00:39:25

said that I love to bite into a

00:39:25 --> 00:39:27

you know a lamb shank It looks so

00:39:27 --> 00:39:29

good It you know it feels it feels

00:39:29 --> 00:39:31

good But again if you can follow the

00:39:31 --> 00:39:32

sunnah of Prophet ﷺ Then it's you know

00:39:32 --> 00:39:36

it's it's great But asking things that are

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

not relevant That just make your life easy

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

right Difficult is problem And that's why Prophet

00:39:42 --> 00:39:44

ﷺ said you know that there were nations

00:39:44 --> 00:39:47

before you That were destroyed and they were

00:39:47 --> 00:39:47

destroyed because of what?

00:39:48 --> 00:39:51

Al qeel wal qaal He said she said

00:39:51 --> 00:39:52

she said he said he said she said

00:39:52 --> 00:39:54

she said he said he said she said

00:39:54 --> 00:39:58

he said Okay Al qeel wal qaal And

00:39:58 --> 00:39:58

the second one is what?

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

Kathratul sual Excessive questioning That led to generations

00:40:05 --> 00:40:09

being destroyed because of that Huh?

00:40:10 --> 00:40:12

They almost didn't kill the baqarah They almost

00:40:12 --> 00:40:17

didn't kill the baqarah Yes Okay Jameel Allahumma

00:40:17 --> 00:40:19

salli wa sallim ala nabiyyina Muhammad wa alaihi

00:40:19 --> 00:40:23

wa sallam Now some of the mufassirun they

00:40:23 --> 00:40:25

said when Allah ﷻ leaves the place and

00:40:25 --> 00:40:28

time Or a person ambiguous This is to

00:40:28 --> 00:40:31

teach us a lesson That this particular event

00:40:31 --> 00:40:33

can take place It took place in the

00:40:33 --> 00:40:35

past And it is also plausible that it'll

00:40:35 --> 00:40:39

take place again And it can take place

00:40:39 --> 00:40:41

again So if if the name of the

00:40:41 --> 00:40:43

person Right for example if the name of

00:40:43 --> 00:40:48

the person is is hidden Right This event

00:40:48 --> 00:40:50

can take place in any time frame in

00:40:50 --> 00:40:52

any place And it is not confined to

00:40:52 --> 00:40:58

this this particular space Okay That's why the

00:41:00 --> 00:41:03

Names of the wives of of Lut alaih

00:41:03 --> 00:41:06

Lut alaihissalam and Nuh alaihissalam Are not mentioned

00:41:06 --> 00:41:09

to us Right it could be any wife

00:41:09 --> 00:41:12

anybody's wife Right this event can take place

00:41:12 --> 00:41:17

But then for Maryam alaihissalam It is Maryam

00:41:17 --> 00:41:19

Like the event of Maryam is not going

00:41:19 --> 00:41:22

to take place again So his her name

00:41:22 --> 00:41:25

is mentioned specifically The event of Zaid alaihissalam

00:41:25 --> 00:41:28

His name is mentioned specifically This is very

00:41:28 --> 00:41:30

specific event And this will not take place

00:41:30 --> 00:41:36

again Okay So when Allah specifies the name

00:41:36 --> 00:41:39

Then we know in the Quran Firaun, Haman,

00:41:39 --> 00:41:42

Qarun These are events And that particular story

00:41:42 --> 00:41:45

shall not repeat But when Allah takes away

00:41:45 --> 00:41:49

the names Then this event is plausible that

00:41:49 --> 00:41:51

it took place then And be ready it

00:41:51 --> 00:41:54

can take place again And it can take

00:41:54 --> 00:42:03

place again Okay This

00:42:03 --> 00:42:09

is now the answer to Allah subhanahu wa

00:42:09 --> 00:42:11

ta'ala Prophet ﷺ said to the people

00:42:11 --> 00:42:15

Tomorrow I'll tell you the answer Right But

00:42:15 --> 00:42:19

he forgot to say what Inshallah Inshallah Now

00:42:19 --> 00:42:24

this tells you Really beautiful Learning over here

00:42:25 --> 00:42:26

That if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Was

00:42:26 --> 00:42:28

upset with Prophet ﷺ He wouldn't have answered

00:42:30 --> 00:42:34

But the adab That Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:42:34 --> 00:42:36

'ala Showed with Prophet ﷺ That he first

00:42:36 --> 00:42:40

provided the answer To one of the stories

00:42:41 --> 00:42:45

And in between the two stories He interjected

00:42:45 --> 00:42:49

it with a subtle correction So that the

00:42:49 --> 00:42:53

prominent theme Does not begin With the correction

00:42:53 --> 00:42:56

of Prophet ﷺ Are you guys getting this

00:42:56 --> 00:42:56

point?

00:42:57 --> 00:42:58

This is a deep point to understand So

00:42:58 --> 00:43:01

the Jews and the Christians Came to Prophet

00:43:01 --> 00:43:02

ﷺ Tell us about this story Okay what

00:43:02 --> 00:43:05

are the three stories Three questions asked Prophet

00:43:05 --> 00:43:07

ﷺ says Inshallah tomorrow I will tell you

00:43:07 --> 00:43:11

Allah is going to reveal a Wahid Huh

00:43:12 --> 00:43:15

He didn't say Inshallah Did I say Inshallah

00:43:15 --> 00:43:16

right now?

00:43:16 --> 00:43:20

Oh sorry This is a habit Right so

00:43:20 --> 00:43:23

Prophet ﷺ said Tomorrow you will come The

00:43:23 --> 00:43:24

Wahid will come And you will know the

00:43:24 --> 00:43:28

answer So he forgot to say Inshallah So

00:43:28 --> 00:43:32

this entire surah was a response But Allah

00:43:32 --> 00:43:35

subhanahu wa ta'ala Wanted to rectify Through

00:43:35 --> 00:43:39

Prophet ﷺ To us also The importance of

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

saying Inshallah But he didn't start it off

00:43:43 --> 00:43:48

with correction He started it off with You

00:43:48 --> 00:43:52

know the story first Responded to Prophet ﷺ's

00:43:52 --> 00:43:56

questions Their questions To shut them Hey listen

00:43:57 --> 00:43:59

We're not shying away We will tell you

00:43:59 --> 00:44:01

the Haqq He is getting sourced directly From

00:44:01 --> 00:44:05

Jibreel ﷺ But in between came the answer

00:44:05 --> 00:44:08

Which is Akhaf Which is much more subtle

00:44:08 --> 00:44:11

and gentle Right then for example You want

00:44:11 --> 00:44:12

to have a conversation With your son or

00:44:12 --> 00:44:14

daughter Right then you like you give them

00:44:14 --> 00:44:19

food first Eat and okay Now let's talk

00:44:20 --> 00:44:22

We have something to discuss Right rather than

00:44:22 --> 00:44:24

right away Before you serve the food You

00:44:24 --> 00:44:26

talk about that And it ruins the whole

00:44:26 --> 00:44:29

mood right So that's how Rasulullah ﷺ responded

00:44:29 --> 00:44:31

Wa la taqoolanna o Prophet of Allah Don't

00:44:31 --> 00:44:34

never say Li shay'in for anything Inni

00:44:34 --> 00:44:36

fa'ilun thalika ghada I'm about to do

00:44:36 --> 00:44:39

this tomorrow I shall definitely do this tomorrow

00:44:39 --> 00:44:42

Illa in ya sha Allah Except couple it

00:44:42 --> 00:44:50

with the statement Inshallah This word Inshallah Is

00:44:50 --> 00:44:58

considered to be The shi'ar of Muslims

00:44:58 --> 00:45:00

All throughout the world This is the identity

00:45:00 --> 00:45:02

of Muslims All throughout the world And there

00:45:02 --> 00:45:07

are few statements Around the Muslim world That

00:45:07 --> 00:45:09

can be seen as the Muslim identity Inshallah

00:45:09 --> 00:45:11

What's the other one?

00:45:12 --> 00:45:20

MashaAllah Alhamdulillah Bismillah So it doesn't matter where

00:45:20 --> 00:45:22

you are It doesn't matter what part of

00:45:22 --> 00:45:24

the world you are What religion Like where

00:45:24 --> 00:45:27

you're from If you say Inshallah, Bismillah All

00:45:27 --> 00:45:30

of these It doesn't matter The minute they

00:45:30 --> 00:45:31

know you They'll know that you're a Muslim

00:45:32 --> 00:45:35

And these have become the standard identities Of

00:45:35 --> 00:45:38

a Muslim all across We should not shy

00:45:38 --> 00:45:42

away From using this in front of non

00:45:42 --> 00:45:47

-Muslims We have to say Alhamdulillah Like today

00:45:47 --> 00:45:49

we ate food I sat with the pastor

00:45:49 --> 00:45:50

He was like Okay let's pray in the

00:45:50 --> 00:45:52

name of Jesus We thank you God for

00:45:52 --> 00:45:56

serving I'm like thank you God Not Jesus

00:45:56 --> 00:45:58

but God Thank you God Like I'm correcting

00:45:58 --> 00:46:00

it in my head But again He was

00:46:00 --> 00:46:04

not shy to openly talk about Jesus And

00:46:04 --> 00:46:05

you know we thank you for this And

00:46:05 --> 00:46:07

this and this So in the end I

00:46:07 --> 00:46:09

was like Alhamdulillah Thank you Allah Subh'anaHu

00:46:09 --> 00:46:10

Wa Ta-A'la The one and only

00:46:10 --> 00:46:12

true God To I think that's the message

00:46:12 --> 00:46:15

for him But again we should not shy

00:46:15 --> 00:46:17

away from that At workplaces You shouldn't shy

00:46:17 --> 00:46:21

away MashaAllah Alhamdulillah If they are in interaction

00:46:21 --> 00:46:23

with you Your like your non-Muslim friends

00:46:23 --> 00:46:27

should know MashaAllah Bismillah Alhamdulillah All of these

00:46:27 --> 00:46:37

things right I'm meeting action items okay So

00:46:38 --> 00:46:40

And remember Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A

00:46:40 --> 00:46:48

'la When you forgave him And say that

00:46:48 --> 00:46:50

I trust my Allah Or my Lord will

00:46:50 --> 00:46:53

guide me To that which is more righteous

00:46:53 --> 00:46:59

than this Okay The word Rushd Okay Is

00:47:00 --> 00:47:03

The root word is Rashad Ra-Sheen-Dal

00:47:05 --> 00:47:10

Okay And generally It is There are two

00:47:12 --> 00:47:19

There's Rushd and Rushd Rushd and Rushd Rushd

00:47:27 --> 00:47:32

Okay It's used for sort of guidance Misguidance

00:47:32 --> 00:47:41

and guidance Okay Okay And Rashad Rashadah is

00:47:45 --> 00:47:50

for Materialistic and Dunyawi affairs Right Your ability

00:47:52 --> 00:47:55

To be able to traverse through the difficulties

00:47:55 --> 00:47:58

Career paths and all of that That's Rushd

00:47:58 --> 00:48:05

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

This is a point that you can take

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

note down if you guys want One of

00:48:51 --> 00:48:53

the tafseers he says Wa qad jumiat hathihi

00:48:53 --> 00:48:56

al-ayat al-karima lil-nabi salallahu alayhi

00:48:56 --> 00:49:01

wa sallam min thalathat jihad So Karamat lil

00:49:01 --> 00:49:03

-nabi salallahu alayhi wa sallam min thalathat jihad

00:49:03 --> 00:49:05

That we see that Allah has honored Prophet

00:49:05 --> 00:49:08

salallahu alayhi wa sallam in this response Three

00:49:08 --> 00:49:14

ways Okay Number one Anahu ajaba sualahu Allah

00:49:14 --> 00:49:16

has responded to the question of Prophet salallahu

00:49:16 --> 00:49:17

alayhi wa sallam He could have said I'm

00:49:17 --> 00:49:19

not responding So that is a karamat That's

00:49:19 --> 00:49:20

an honor to the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa

00:49:20 --> 00:49:22

sallam Yes The answer came late But the

00:49:22 --> 00:49:29

answer did come Okay Number two Anahu allamahu

00:49:29 --> 00:49:32

ilman azeeman min adabin nubuwwah Allah Subhanahu wa

00:49:32 --> 00:49:34

ta'ala taught Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:49:34 --> 00:49:38

The etiquette of prophethood That wahy does not

00:49:38 --> 00:49:42

come on your whims and desires Wahy is

00:49:42 --> 00:49:44

from Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala Yes You

00:49:44 --> 00:49:48

are the legislator in this dunya But The

00:49:48 --> 00:49:51

affairs of the wahy are with Allah Subhanahu

00:49:51 --> 00:49:52

wa ta'ala He decides when it comes

00:49:53 --> 00:49:57

Wa thalis anahu ma allamahu thalika illa ba'd

00:49:57 --> 00:50:00

an ajaba sualahu And the third is that

00:50:00 --> 00:50:03

he did not teach Prophet salallahu alayhi wa

00:50:03 --> 00:50:05

sallam Except after he had already responded to

00:50:05 --> 00:50:06

one of the stories I had already mentioned

00:50:06 --> 00:50:08

that But again this is the summary of

00:50:08 --> 00:50:11

that Walabithu fee kahfihim thalathami'atin sinina wazdadu

00:50:11 --> 00:50:15

tis'aa They stayed in the cave 300

00:50:15 --> 00:50:17

years And add to that nine We had

00:50:17 --> 00:50:20

mentioned last time that at this word Wazdadu

00:50:20 --> 00:50:23

tis'aa From the time we started the

00:50:23 --> 00:50:26

story of the people of kahf Until the

00:50:26 --> 00:50:30

tis'aa Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala has

00:50:30 --> 00:50:33

described the entire story to us in 309

00:50:33 --> 00:50:35

words And they stayed in the cave for

00:50:35 --> 00:50:42

309 years 300 years solar So the first

00:50:42 --> 00:50:46

300 years is solar Wazdadu tis'aa For

00:50:46 --> 00:50:48

the Arabs you base it on lunar calendar

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

So you will have to add nine more

00:50:50 --> 00:51:04

years to that Okay Wazdadu tis'aa Prophet

00:51:04 --> 00:51:09

of Allah say Don't argue about the number

00:51:09 --> 00:51:11

of people Allah is the one who really

00:51:11 --> 00:51:15

knows Don't argue about how long they stayed

00:51:15 --> 00:51:22

Allah really knows how long they stayed It's

00:51:22 --> 00:51:24

only Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala who has

00:51:24 --> 00:51:28

the knowledge of the unseen Okay Anyone of

00:51:28 --> 00:51:29

you been to UK?

00:51:29 --> 00:51:35

00:51:35 --> 00:51:38

00:51:38 --> 00:51:42

desi area You know Leighton I think Or

00:51:53 --> 00:51:58

future 100% guaranteed All of these type

00:51:58 --> 00:52:00

of weird ads that you see And again

00:52:00 --> 00:52:02

in India And in parts of Egypt I

00:52:02 --> 00:52:06

was there in Medina 6th October Right And

00:52:06 --> 00:52:07

we were like in I think we were

00:52:07 --> 00:52:10

at the roundabout of Hussary And there was

00:52:10 --> 00:52:12

this guy sitting there And he was like

00:52:12 --> 00:52:14

you know pay me this much guinea And

00:52:14 --> 00:52:15

I will tell you what is going to

00:52:15 --> 00:52:17

happen to you tomorrow So I was like

00:52:17 --> 00:52:19

I mean I want to I just I'm

00:52:19 --> 00:52:20

like I'm not going to pay you But

00:52:20 --> 00:52:21

tell me what's going to happen to me

00:52:21 --> 00:52:23

He's like you're going to miss your flight

00:52:25 --> 00:52:27

I said ha I'm like oh you saw

00:52:27 --> 00:52:30

the bag tag Like come on that's just

00:52:30 --> 00:52:31

basic You saw the bag tag That's how

00:52:31 --> 00:52:33

I know I was flying Right And I

00:52:33 --> 00:52:34

said by the way my flight is not

00:52:34 --> 00:52:36

tomorrow It's like you know down the road

00:52:37 --> 00:52:41

So what's really interesting was people People want

00:52:41 --> 00:52:44

to know the future It's the inherent nature

00:52:44 --> 00:52:47

of human beings We want to know what

00:52:47 --> 00:52:50

is going to happen tomorrow Okay We want

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

to know that That's why people pay so

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

much money to psychics I actually met a

00:52:55 --> 00:52:57

person after In one of the messages I

00:52:57 --> 00:53:01

used to work in He had paid over

00:53:01 --> 00:53:11

$80,000 to psychics To prevent future financial

00:53:11 --> 00:53:16

loss Of like current loss You're losing money

00:53:16 --> 00:53:20

right now $80,000 you've lost What else

00:53:20 --> 00:53:22

He's like no And then some of these

00:53:22 --> 00:53:25

people actually did black magic on him So

00:53:25 --> 00:53:28

he started seeing things And things were happening

00:53:28 --> 00:53:30

in his life Right So we you know

00:53:30 --> 00:53:33

he sat down If I don't go back

00:53:33 --> 00:53:34

to him The guy's like if you don't

00:53:34 --> 00:53:35

come back to me in a month All

00:53:35 --> 00:53:37

your house is going to be gone And

00:53:37 --> 00:53:38

then you know one day I saw And

00:53:38 --> 00:53:40

then the light spark bloke And then I

00:53:40 --> 00:53:43

was like oh that's exact And he made

00:53:43 --> 00:53:46

the jinn made Do this weird things to

00:53:46 --> 00:53:48

him And you know it was crazy So

00:53:48 --> 00:53:50

just because we don't want any future damage

00:53:50 --> 00:53:54

People paid so much money for that So

00:53:54 --> 00:53:56

much money for that If we only understood

00:53:56 --> 00:54:01

this part Lahoo ghaybus samaawati wal ardi Whatever

00:54:01 --> 00:54:03

un-future somebody is going to tell you

00:54:03 --> 00:54:05

At the end of the day Allah is

00:54:05 --> 00:54:07

the one who holds the absolute ghayb Of

00:54:07 --> 00:54:09

what is happening in the heavens and the

00:54:09 --> 00:54:12

earth Absir bihi wa asmeer This is a

00:54:12 --> 00:54:16

very beautiful way of saying How perfect Allah

00:54:16 --> 00:54:20

hears and sees Absir Yani maa absara wa

00:54:20 --> 00:54:23

asmaa How perfect is Allah's hearing and seeing

00:54:25 --> 00:54:27

You know this reminded me of this Qad

00:54:27 --> 00:54:30

sami allahu qawla lati tujadiluka fee zawjiha wa

00:54:30 --> 00:54:34

tashtaki That ayah The surah Mujadila Prophet ﷺ

00:54:34 --> 00:54:37

was sitting It was Ubadah ibn Samit It

00:54:37 --> 00:54:40

was his wife I forgot her name And

00:54:40 --> 00:54:42

she was arguing with Prophet ﷺ She was

00:54:42 --> 00:54:44

like yeah yeah but you know He has

00:54:44 --> 00:54:45

divorced me but where am I going to

00:54:45 --> 00:54:47

go I have no place to go I

00:54:47 --> 00:54:51

have children So she's like really worried What

00:54:51 --> 00:54:55

is going to happen And she's arguing And

00:54:55 --> 00:54:57

she was like you know talking to Prophet

00:54:57 --> 00:54:58

ﷺ in a very soft way You know

00:54:58 --> 00:55:01

Rasulullah ﷺ Say that What's going to happen

00:55:01 --> 00:55:03

And Aisha radiallahu anha was on the other

00:55:03 --> 00:55:06

room Like on the other side They had

00:55:06 --> 00:55:08

a hujra and just a wall Not even

00:55:08 --> 00:55:11

a door And she's like I couldn't hear

00:55:11 --> 00:55:15

what they were talking And then the wahi

00:55:15 --> 00:55:18

came down And then she said Aisha radiallahu

00:55:18 --> 00:55:23

anha Maa absara wa asmaa How perfect is

00:55:23 --> 00:55:26

Allah's hearing and sight I was in the

00:55:26 --> 00:55:28

room next and I couldn't hear And Allah

00:55:28 --> 00:55:31

heard her from the seven heavens And revealed

00:55:31 --> 00:55:34

the Qur'an to encapsulate it That you

00:55:34 --> 00:55:36

and I today we worship with her statements

00:55:37 --> 00:55:40

Her complaint about her husband to Prophet ﷺ

00:55:40 --> 00:55:44

Allah encapsulated that for us And that's the

00:55:44 --> 00:55:48

the power of Allah's hearing and seeing And

00:55:48 --> 00:55:51

if we have this consciousness in us That

00:55:51 --> 00:55:54

Allah ﷻ is watching us all the time

00:55:54 --> 00:55:57

Allah is hearing us all the time Every

00:55:57 --> 00:55:59

time we type something on Every time we

00:55:59 --> 00:56:01

say a comment Every time we text something

00:56:01 --> 00:56:04

We think people don't know But absir bihi

00:56:04 --> 00:56:09

wa asmaa Allah is profusely watching us He's

00:56:09 --> 00:56:11

so accurate in his hearing And in his

00:56:11 --> 00:56:15

sight of everything you and I say We

00:56:15 --> 00:56:16

can't run away Where are you going to

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

run away?

00:56:17 --> 00:56:19

Who are you going to run away from?

00:56:20 --> 00:56:24

Allah He's watching us He's got every single

00:56:24 --> 00:56:28

aspect of your life codified for you When

00:56:28 --> 00:56:34

we meet him And other than Allah ﷻ

00:56:34 --> 00:56:36

Who is going to be your guardian?

00:56:36 --> 00:56:37

Who protects you?

00:56:38 --> 00:56:39

Who saves you?

00:56:39 --> 00:56:40

Who provides you?

00:56:40 --> 00:56:41

Who gives rizq to you?

00:56:42 --> 00:56:45

Allah ﷻ So Allah is like He hears

00:56:45 --> 00:56:48

and He sees ma lahum min doonihi mi

00:56:48 --> 00:56:53

waliyyun There is nobody other than Allah ﷻ

00:56:53 --> 00:56:57

Besides him as a guardian for them wa

00:56:57 --> 00:57:03

la yushriku fee hukmihi ahada And in the

00:57:03 --> 00:57:09

matters of Allah ﷻ Nobody can enter Okay

00:57:09 --> 00:57:12

This ayah has a lot to talk about

00:57:13 --> 00:57:16

I have an entire page of notes And

00:57:16 --> 00:57:17

I want to skip this This is a

00:57:17 --> 00:57:20

really powerful ayah So we will start with

00:57:20 --> 00:57:23

this ayah inshaAllah next week bi-idhnillahi ta

00:57:23 --> 00:57:29

'ala Again we remind everyone before we end

00:57:29 --> 00:57:31

We'll end with the du'a inshaAllah But

00:57:31 --> 00:57:35

before we end Just a reminder for everyone

00:57:36 --> 00:57:39

That Prophet ﷺ used to say Addallu alal

00:57:39 --> 00:57:42

khairi kafa'ilihi Right That the one who

00:57:42 --> 00:57:44

allows other people to know about something Like

00:57:44 --> 00:57:47

I brought you today Right I was like

00:57:47 --> 00:57:48

where have you been?

00:57:48 --> 00:57:50

Like you know So I'm like you need

00:57:50 --> 00:57:52

to come here Right So we have to

00:57:52 --> 00:57:55

do our job as da'is to Allah

00:57:55 --> 00:57:58

ﷻ To khair To something related to Qur

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

'an I wallahi the reason I say this

00:58:00 --> 00:58:03

is You don't know who you bring here

00:58:04 --> 00:58:06

And I'm not the conduit It's the word

00:58:06 --> 00:58:09

of Allah ﷻ that changes someone I met

00:58:09 --> 00:58:16

someone Shaykh Asadullah Just some white, blonde, blue

00:58:16 --> 00:58:19

-eyed guy Who was like you know You

00:58:19 --> 00:58:23

00:58:26 --> 00:58:28

eating pizza And this Muslim guy is like

00:58:28 --> 00:58:31

Oh come along with me Let's go and

00:58:31 --> 00:58:33

00:58:33 --> 00:58:35

afterwards I'm going to the mosque Check out

00:58:35 --> 00:58:39

00:58:39 --> 00:58:43

was a pastor Turned his life upside around

00:58:43 --> 00:58:50

Upside He became a Muslim Left Studied Fifteen

00:58:50 --> 00:58:55

years Somebody told him Go to Turkey And

00:58:55 --> 00:58:59

00:59:08 --> 00:59:10

before Google Maps and all of that Right

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

00:59:11 --> 00:59:13

Yo he told me go to Turkey And

00:59:13 --> 00:59:15

there's going to be a city in Turkey

00:59:15 --> 00:59:19

Tarim is in Yemen So he's like I

00:59:19 --> 00:59:22

take a bus And I said SubhanAllah I'm

00:59:22 --> 00:59:24

going on a bus I'm like $150 It's

00:59:24 --> 00:59:27

so so cheap to travel Right And then

00:59:27 --> 00:59:28

he's like I go from one bus to

00:59:28 --> 00:59:30

one country To I go to we go

He's like yeah Tarim, Tarim, Tarim SubhanAllah He's

00:59:42 --> 00:59:46

like and then 1,800 kilometers down I

00:59:46 --> 00:59:50

end up in this city in Tarim And

00:59:50 --> 00:59:51

somebody's like yeah go there You can learn

00:59:51 --> 00:59:53

00:59:57 --> 00:59:58

He's like with my broken So they finally

00:59:58 --> 01:00:00

found somebody who spoke English in that village

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

And then they actually introduced him to the

01:00:03 --> 01:00:05

masjid Where you know you learn Arabic And

01:00:05 --> 01:00:09

then he spent 15 years studying And became

01:00:09 --> 01:00:12

an alim and came back It all started

01:00:12 --> 01:00:16

because one person saw him somewhere at a

01:00:16 --> 01:00:19

restaurant Seven foot one Didn't even look like

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

a Muslim And said let's go And now

01:00:22 --> 01:00:25

whatever Now he just came back to America

01:00:25 --> 01:00:27

And whichever masjid he joins Or wherever he

01:00:27 --> 01:00:28

goes I've been telling him to come to

01:00:28 --> 01:00:30

Atlanta But he's not coming But you know

01:00:30 --> 01:00:32

I told him come down here We need

01:00:32 --> 01:00:34

more scholars here And we heard some of

01:00:34 --> 01:00:37

his speeches Like when he when he's Because

he was a trained pastor So when he

01:00:40 --> 01:00:43

starts Starts off low He starts so low

01:00:44 --> 01:00:46

And then he like shakes up the entire

01:00:46 --> 01:00:50

room He's like we're gonna have iftar in

01:00:50 --> 01:00:53

01:00:58 --> 01:01:00

When you meet that person But again it

01:02:01 --> 01:02:03

write Quran And you want to be able

01:02:03 --> 01:02:07

to stand in taraweeh This Ramadan And hopefully

01:02:07 --> 01:02:10

understand Whatever you have learned in the class

01:02:10 --> 01:02:13

That part at least The promise is that

01:02:13 --> 01:02:15

hopefully in the six months If you have

01:02:15 --> 01:02:17

tried everything with Arabic And nothing has worked

01:02:18 --> 01:02:20

The way that we're doing it inshallah Should

01:02:20 --> 01:02:23

get you at a level That when you

01:02:23 --> 01:02:25

will listen to the first taraweeh You're going

01:02:25 --> 01:02:26

to understand everything And then you're going to

01:02:26 --> 01:02:29

cry Because after that last lesson of yours

01:02:29 --> 01:02:31

You're not going to understand anything after But

01:02:31 --> 01:02:33

hopefully inshallah we can do that So we're

01:02:33 --> 01:02:35

also doing that Everything that I am doing

our hearts with your kalam O Allah your

01:03:53 --> 01:03:55

kalam is very heavy But our hearts are

01:03:55 --> 01:03:59

so rusty with sins O Allah dissipate the

01:03:59 --> 01:04:01

rust of our hearts And allow us to

01:04:01 --> 01:04:02

be able to benefit From the message of

01:04:02 --> 01:04:04

the Qur'an We ask you Allah subhanahu
