We're going to carry on our discussion in the Tafseer of Surah Kahf, which is the surah that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to recite
most of the time in the hotbeds, ie majority. If you were to evaluate, you would find that most of his hotbars entailed the recitation of Surah UF.
Also if the hot buzzword of the natures of read then even in those hot buzz, he would make it a point that people listen to the surah. So it entails messages for every single one of us as a Muslim.
A reminder that is necessary for all of us to have in front of our eyes as we live through our lives.
Last time we covered the first five verses, we'll just do a quick recap and then move on to the next verse. Allah subhanaw taala starts off sort of off by saying off will Quran ill Majeed off I eat by the custom of this Quran. Well, Quran over here is by the custom well Quran because the Quran Al Majeed this Quran the glorious one, ie the one who touch who is touched by it becomes glorious. And it itself is glorious in its nature. And all the other meetings that we described last time Balaji boo and Jha who Moon zero minimum it's really strange matter to them that they're in a shock and a state of wonder that a warner came from amongst them when they don't mean whom I II either are a
warner who is an Arab or a warner who's an insaan Why not an angel? Why just a human being like you and I.
Okay, one zero min home. The second part is this morning there this Warner i e Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he is no stranger to you.
Why are you in such perplexity about him? You used to call him a Sadiq Well, I mean, the trustful one and the truthful one then what why such response
then Allah says befallen coffee owner her though she will Najeeb
the kaffir they said, Man, what a strange matter why Mohammed why, but who taught him?
Why a man will tell him. I mean, there's a story that has mentioned we didn't mention the story last time about a person okay. And Musa lemma even Kitab Salem Al Khattab? He was in Yamama by Nora br He was from the tribal for a beer. So another person came to him
and he said a&m will say Lima. So the people they said, Allah rasool Allah, the people correct him saying, you know, he's not he's not gonna say Don't call him sad, my he is the messenger of Allah. i He obviously he was a you know, false messenger.
This person goes meets Musa Lima and he says Wallah, he needs it food, be what you hear, and
I see your face. I know you're You're a liar, just by your face. I can tell you, you're a liar.
Well, I can,
but
because there would be
a flume inside the till model
that a liar from our drive. I'm going to support him over a truthful one, a prophet Sallallahu Sallam from Burnham O'Donnell from the tribal from Athan.
So they were one of their strange matter was but Ijebu tied up him that how can one with all of this this this? Like he doesn't even have money?
Sure he is from the Federation, but he's like the least of the Quraysh.
And that is why you see the story of Abuja while he's sitting with Rothbart and Robbia. And they're discussing these chieftains. He says, and they're talking to one another like, Look, man, they gave food to her judge, we gave them milk. They gave them milk, we gave them sweet water, everything. They were competing with one other. He said but if we accept Him
as a messenger, where are we going to bring a messenger from? We can bring a messenger they knew that this is the truth. So their strangeness was their wonder was but Ijebu forgot little coffee on the caffeine when they said harder che on IG.
And that is the case of every single person who denies truth, who's in a perpetual denial of reality. As you
See the case with the Israeli government? Oh gee, they have tunnels are deep and they're losing the battle. Other che on IG, this is not something new. You will see this time and on and again in history that whenever they don't want to believe in something.
They'll be like, Man, this is really strange. None other the matter of Hamas is just a very strange this is ajeeb. It's a very complex narrative that we can talk about.
We can talk about all the complexities of Russia and Ukraine. But no, no, this is a very complex IG. This is a very strange matter. This is not something new.
Why? Because when you don't want to talk about something, when you want to hide the facts, you say, but are strange, this very, very hygiene, this is so strange, right? Then
either meeting our Goodna there are one of their statements is this person is telling us either meeting our kupuna to Robin's article Rajaram buried, he's saying are you that meeting our candidate when we're going to be dead?
And we're going to turn into dust? How are we going to come back to life Veronica Jordan buried this is impossible. This return is not possible.
Why is this so strange? Because this type of belief
gives individuals a power that nobody else can give you.
Not sure if you saw that clip of these. I mean, it's going around, like the soldiers are terrified that Israeli soldiers are terrified.
And and the leader is saying no, no, we've got better weaponry, and we've got this and we've got targeted this and the guys like they are not afraid to die.
Because when that your teen comes in your heart and my heart, that we're going to be resurrected, and we're going to stand in front of Allah subhanaw taala everything becomes easy.
Following Allah subhanaw taala becomes easy because you have your team that you're going to stand in front of philosophy.
Everything becomes easy.
And this is the reality that we have also forgotten, then that's a reminder for us that I live now done.
Allah is reminding you and me Allah is like Don't be in a shock and an estrangement about this matter that you're going to come back to life, the very absolute knowledge of Allah subhanho wa Taala the Moho that his knowledge has superseded to the fact that he knows exactly what amount from your earth from your body, the earth is going to decompose.
And the word or here Allah uses done pursue.
It depletes. He did not say toward the moon or Tiffany
because your earth this earth will eat everything except what Ash was Dunham. The Cossacks the tailbone that is going to remain
and that is the reality that this earth is not going to take everything. This is the hustle This is the assassins the Hadith says right long Hadees that you will be recreated from this.
Winding Aki turban heavy and with Allah subhanho wa Taala Kitab we he has a book, which is guarded there's two meanings of that. Were in the anarchy tab and have evil we have a guarded book. I eat Kitab when my fools it's protected. You cannot go and alter things in it
be minor Illuma for all my fault. It's protected. Well and then I Kitab on Hatfield. A half of they I leave them Kareem you know so Indiana Kitab on Hatfield half with in that book has absolute details are in it's very easy for Allah subhanaw taala because in that book, What color were you what color are your eyes? How tall were you? What was your your complexion, which country how to resurrect you back. But the beauty of this is that Kitab is a Delila and her job for you not for me not for it's just to for you and I to know because Allah is not in need of that Kitab
for Allah subhanho wa Taala Zinman as le absolute knowledge, he says going
and all of you will come all of us will come back to life. But Allah is like, you know, just so you're are at peace, everything is documented.
Just so we Muslims are at peace, whatever atrocities that they do to our brothers and sisters are in the anarchy tab and have faith in that book is everything protected and guarded with absolute perfection.
And another eye Allah subhanaw taala says, Well, I saw you now who it has statistical analysis
This many times this many aggressions, this nation has done to the Muslims.
Well Subhan Allah Allah feelin Amata Hello badimo That Don't think for a second, Allah is unaware of what is happening in the world.
So as believers, we have this European I believers, the brothers in Philistine have this European, that's what propels them to stand there, and they say we're not leaving.
Because we don't want the world to know. We know that our Allah knows we're in the hole for them. They're like, yeah, and he has everything documented. If I lose 12 of my children, it's there. It's recorded.
I'm gonna meet him and I know that Allah is going to hold them accountable for it.
And that's the opinion that we need to perpetuate in our daily lives.
Then the next idea, Bell
can the Boo Bill help?
The reality of the matter is, whether it is the Palestinian Israeli conflict, whether it is the conflict of my life in your life between good and evil, whether it is the conflict at work, every single type of conflict that you're in.
Allah is talking about this but castable will help the merger
that the reality is there are people that are always going to deny
and over here when Allah says when caribou Bill hottie Allah did not say bulkhead The Boo they denied Al Quran bulkhead, the movie recited at the Mohammed bulkers de boville Qurani bulkers they've all been healthy ie they recognized the message to be truth.
as do many of the world recognizes what is happening in Philistine they know what is how they know what is violated.
Because they will be hooked. The problem is what limiter
and this is a really interesting word lemma because I want you to understand this before we leave move on to the next part. Llama is a very interesting word it says a crumb took lemma journey, I will honor you when you come to me.
So my honoring did not begin until you came to me.
Until you come to me my process of honoring you as a guest has not began. So over here Allah is like well castable will help they had recognized
the truthful nature but when Rasul Allah came with the truth when the facts of what is happening to the people in Philistine is presented the minute they recognize Oh man, this is true cuz the movie they will deny it.
Because the movie
meta castable Hina out of whoo hoo ha.
They denied it when they knew that this is the truth. That's when we need to deny when you don't even believe it to be a truth you're gonna be like, oh, you know what, I really don't believe in this context. I don't really believe in this data.
In this case, they knew that the message of Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is
but when that message arrived, because there will be he Belka mobilehelp de la magia, whom, for whom fee Emery marriage, and this is such a beautiful
analogy of what we are witnessing today.
I'm in a marriage Allah is like the Allah is describing the state that they're in.
For whom fee and money marriage, marriage is our Multijet or who don't ask the Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says when you see the affairs of people they have mingled up and everything has become conspicuous. Like you don't know what's right and wrong. A thought outside. Everything is mixed up. And then Rasulullah did his hands like this and he said he got muddy just to hold on us then when the affairs of people that good and evil they all are mixed up.
Then I Lika be unreal hos city Oh another Hadith I lay cubbyhole a Sati Emmerich that then upon you is to worry about yourself and not others
WADA on camera Lam Lee leave the affairs of the world.
Over here we're home free every marriage when they recognize the truth when they recognize that Islam is healthy when they recognize the power of Islam when they recognize the the power that it gives to the people when they recognize that they have to deny it, but their denial is at a consequence that they are in a state of confusion.
The Arabs use the word
Marriage, what a hot item or a ring. And they use a marriage in cotton. That when the ring it oscillates, it's about to fall you put it back in, it's about to fall that Farrell of the ring trying to fall and you're trying to hold. It's called Marriage l hartham. That this this this ring is not sitting firm.
In one position, it keeps changing its position. From that comes my digital hood, or from that comes every marriage, that they're in a confusion. How do we know the confusion of the atoms of that time? Their their declaration, or their characterization of Prophet sallallahu Sallam in the Quran keeps changing?
Oh, he is mentioning. How does he this one time He's a magician. One time he's image unknown. One time he is giving mouth Allah. But if you look at the Quran, Quran tells you that there are descriptions off because they recognize the truth. Now they have to respond to it, but their responses keep changing. So is the case with the conflict?
Oh, all the all the people in because I should go to South. There bombing sounds like crazy right now.
Oh, we never meant that self.
What is happening is this oscillation of narrative. When we deny help. When we deny reality, when we deny that we did something wrong or you did something wrong, when we are in that denial, then every other subsequent position that you're going to take, you're going to find no steadfastness in it, you're going to oscillate between one to another to another because you have done you've got in your brain recognition that this is a true to every other thing that you're going to jump on, you will not be able to hold on.
Hence the narratives of the west today in everything about the Muslims relating to the Muslims that keep changing.
Because they recognize that there's the truth and they've denied it.
Then Allah subhanaw taala diverts our attention
to a completely new world.
And a world that you and I see.
And Allah is making them think that oh, wait a minute. If you are in a state of denial of all of this 3d creation and coming back to life,
then why don't you just step outside in your backyard?
Flm young guru Illa sama
Why don't you just at the middle of the night, look up to the sky. The word ilus sama
the English all of them are translated I felt I mean the roof is summer Isla Santa. Don't they ponder in the sky.
ELS summer, a very quick glance.
And that quick glance should be enough to give you enough information that you didn't get created from nothing.
Allah could have used a fella mianzhu fist summer, this summer requires that you have a deep contemplation. All Allah wants you to do is go in the middle of the night. When it's a clear sky in a dark space.
What are these dark sky preserves, and look at the sky.
How beautifully Allah has created that sky we are witnessing. Until tomorrow. I think until tomorrow, we are witnessing the highest amount of meteor showers that are taking place right now.
An average night where a good meter a good night for a meteor shower, you will see somewhere between 80 to 120 meters in an hour. We're going through some certain phenomena for this entire week until tomorrow night, where you would be able to see anywhere between 150 to 240 meters per hour.
Which means that within every 30 seconds if you were to go to a dark sky preserve your look up on Google Google and just take your kids and go to our even Salonika mountains really up you go up high without where there's no lights where you have clear sky and you have the access to the canopy, you will be able to see meteor showers and it's just something phenomenal to see.
Allah is like have you not looked at the sky that is above you about a million zero LSMS if Oklahoma gave up and aina ha over here this is an interesting point because some of the Muslims when they become little bit intellectual, they start picking poke holes in the Quran because their their entire understanding of the Quran is through English language and they don't understand Arabic in the first place. So they were like oh yeah, what is this? You know, you're talking about any come out of the 14th century.
Today whereas in the 21st century, there is no physical structure. It's all gases and then this this Quran talking about pillars, the lady Ahmed in Tirana, ha you don't see any pillars this is all it's all any figurative speech there's no physicality to this.
The problem is these individuals are absolutely ignoramus when they come to the their understanding of Arabic language
because you cannot use the word Bina to visit in Arabic language if you know basics of Arabic you will know being I mean something physical structure
okay and the entire Quran is filled with these evidences there are a blob, there are doors
of us cannot have Schuck cannot have a crack. For crack to happen. You need to have two physical structures conjoined and then they have a crack at the summit on Shut up.
So the summer that Allah is talking about and that summit that these individuals generally talk about are two different things.
Oh shit, there's the stratosphere and the atmosphere and yeah, we all agree Masha allah sallallahu. But the summit that Allah is referring to is the summit that we can't even see.
It's a physical structure.
And what is something so important for us to understand that that physical structure is right above us.
And it is levitating. It is physical in its nature. And it is suspended without anything.
It's an absolute giant piece of physical structure that is there with nothing that is carrying it.
That's where the Marchesa is key for Bernina Vanina.
And then Allah is like, was a nah ha.
That is why we're not able to get to any of the stars.
There like that many millions of light years away, many of the times the star has already died before the light even reaches us.
All of this is an indication there are things beyond that you and I cannot even understand.
But we believe because Alladhina you may know and I believe the first thing the Quran wants you to do is believe in hype.
You have to believe in hype. That's the fundamental belief that we have as a Muslim Flm young guru Isla Santa do not look at the sky folk a home above them. Can you stop? No, you know how we have fashioned it and how we have structured it was a year now huh? And beautified it? Why am I having full Rouge?
Do you ever see anytime when there's a ceiling that becomes this vague? You're bound to have cracks
like that you see a crack in the sky. When you're walking in the mud, do you see that? Oh, this oh, there's a crack right there. I'm on the side of the sky and you're on this side of the sky. Well now that I'm in full rouge, you don't see even a smallest slightest gap
that is the creation of Allah Subhana.
Allah is they can show me what your gods have created.
This is how the Hulk Allah this is the creation of Allah. Show me what you guys have created. Nothing.
May Allah subhanho wa Taala gives us the ability to truly understand and connect with the Quran for the brothers in the second life before I start if you can just move up while I sit in sha Allah so that we can fill in the gross
if everybody can stand up and form the soft so that the brothers that are standing at the back, they can get.
It's been lol hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Mallanna V Abaddon. In the end, before I go, I just wanted to touch on some of the basic adab of Jomar. Again, a lot of people are aware of them but it's a reminder for all of us. During the gym out when the healthy is giving the hotbar especially in the gap, you have little bit flexibility when I sit but when I am speaking or any other hobby was speaking live, it's me or somebody else. When the Hadith gets up, you are not to talk to one another. You're not to even wink at another somebody
He's like Salam Alikum
walaikum salam that's not considered that's that's from against the adab of Joomla number two, there's absolutely no cell phones.
Okay. Many of the brothers have come to me after that, you know the next door every oh you know there's all these young people they're sitting there and they're on the phones entire time in the hotbar that is absolutely against the other and actually uncertain modahaus your Joomla is not even counted.
When llama love off and Joomla it that if somebody was involved in you know in vain stuff that had no benefit to him then there is no drama for him.
Number three is if you do not have an excuse, a duck or a robe,
Et Al Imam you should sit as close as possible to the Imam.
Especially when you come in and you see the entire Masjid empty and a person goes and sits right at the back. I'm not pointing at anybody I don't remember who was sitting where. So a Tucker Robinette Eman sit right as close to possible In another Hadith prophets have said them said if you knew
what, in the adjure Allah has placed for you to get close to the Imam let the cartel tune you will take out your guns and swords and kill one another.
So these are some basic etiquettes of Masjid. But more importantly off Juma number three is when you come to Juma. Even if you're coming from work, make sure that you have one extra spare sold, Burmese shirt, something clean, whatever that doesn't smell, right. If you happen to work in an environment you're cooking, no blame Hamdulillah that is actually one of the best things you can do that, you know, I'll cast the bill yet that you earn your annual with hard work is one of the best forms of income as prophets Allah said and said the one that has the most Baraka. But then when we come to the masjid, we must be clean. When we must do the masjid, we must be good smelling. When we come to
the masjid, at least, if you didn't get a chance, have a miswak in your car, have a toothbrush, whatever, make sure that you brush your teeth. You don't eat onions and garlic before you come for Juma
and other adab, which none of the books talk about. But you know, this is the dilemma of every single American Masjid as parking.
If you are blocking someone, if you came in late and you intend to leave, and you said you know it's okay, no problem. I'll just park right here, up a block someone. And because of that
that person misses an appointment or he misses going to work somebody who came in early, and you find a friend of yours in the masjid after 10 years and you're like, Oh man, where are you, Howard, like, when these conversations happen. If you blocked someone you leave right away,
you leave right away. And another thing is respect to volunteers. They're not being paid to be out there.
Okay, we don't want to do that. They're not being paid to be out there. They're there in the sun in the rain and the cold to help you.
And if something happens, then you know, fine. They're, I mean, they're in charge because they want to make sure that everybody gets in and everybody gets out. They have one goal in mind. You may disagree with their approach. But their goal is they've been tasked with the goal, you're not the one in charge. And I tell brothers who complain as they're gonna know, he always puts me back and he's I want I'm like, Listen, brother, very easy. Tomorrow, you can come next tomorrow. We're always looking for volunteers. Come on down, bring your car an hour early and show me if you can stand there for an hour.
It's very easy to point fingers. So respect the brothers who are out there, respect their safety. The other day when I was leaving, somebody was upset that somebody in the the guy drove off like crazy, like maniac. These are not these literally, this is not the other you didn't learn anything from the drummer.
And I'm sad, but we have to speak about this. Right? I was trying not to. These are basic adult, please keep them in mind and sha Allah and I'll keep reminding until we remember. And lastly,
we have enough shoe racks.
There should be no shoes on the carpet. There's no excuse for anybody. Now we have shoe racks here, here, here, here. And over there. We have enough shoe racks for everybody to be able to accommodate their shoes. It's just nothing but benign laziness and neglect.
This is our mission. We keep it clean. That's how it is going to be if we don't take care of it. Nobody else is going to come. Apollo already had our stuff that Allah had you want to come alongside it must have been for stuff. Hula for him. We asked Allah subhanaw taala to send his salutations or Nebby Muhammad salallahu salam ala Houma salli wa sallim ala Nabina Muhammad. While he was so happy he was settling to see him and cathedra We ask Allah subhana wa Taala to safeguard the lives of our brothers and sisters in law.
As we ask Allah subhanaw taala that said did Romeo whom we ask Allah subhana wa Tada Allah who know him better than one Salaam and I didn't hear me out but I mean, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us from those who can support our brothers and sisters in whatever capacity that we can. And we ask Allah subhana wa Tada that he gives us the pain of our brothers and sisters in our hearts and allow us to live our lives so that we can teach our kids the pain of our other brothers and Muslims and sisters across the world. We ask that Allah subhanaw taala helps every single Muslim oppressed in every single part of the world, whether they are in Philistine or they are in China or they're in in
Sudan, Somalia, Kashmir, every part of the world that is suffering Morocco, Libya, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to alleviate their pains and ease their sufferings. Every single one of us who has lost a relative We ask Allah subhanaw taala to elevate the status of those in the graves. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to turn their graves into garden of paradise and fill their games with the new order of Eman. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to give every single one of us steel armor. Every single one of us Iman and Camila? Well, the sun and the dark era are Calvin Harsha Yarrabah Alameen wa sallahu wa ala Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallam to him in cathedra wealthy masala insalata
