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

'Allah last week we ended the first 8

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

verses of surah al-kahf If you missed

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

those classes, you know, go back and get

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

them on YouTube The second lesson has not

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

been uploaded on YouTube because of someone But

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

insha'Allah, that someone is going to work

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

He has to work on some ethics insha

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

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

'Allah We had a little bit of a

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

glitch last time So he's really focused on

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

trying to get things done this time So

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

the lesson is going to be uploaded But

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

anyways, it's on Instagram and YouTube So if

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

you missed them, you can catch them The

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13

summary of the first two lessons that we

00:01:13 --> 00:01:16

talked about That these ayat are supposed to

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

protect us from dajjal So we talked about

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

the correlation in every single aspect In every

00:01:20 --> 00:01:23

single ayat that we discussed How that is

00:01:23 --> 00:01:26

impacting and how are we being protected from

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

dajjal And we talked about the detailed connections

00:01:29 --> 00:01:33

that we have with those ayat Now, now

00:01:33 --> 00:01:37

begins the verse number 9 and 10 The

00:01:37 --> 00:01:42

two particular ayat that are directly related to

00:01:42 --> 00:01:46

ashab al-kahf Okay, and in these two

00:01:46 --> 00:01:49

ayat Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Is going

00:01:49 --> 00:01:53

to just allude to the story of people

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

of the cave or ashab al-kahf And

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

then the next verses are going to have

00:01:58 --> 00:02:03

a full, complete, detailed story account That is

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

necessary for us to be able to protect

00:02:05 --> 00:02:08

ourselves from the fitna of dajjal And in

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

specific, which fitna?

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

Fitna of?

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

There were four fitnas Fitna of deen, the

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

trial or the test of our deen at

00:02:16 --> 00:02:22

the hands of dajjal Now, backstory because I'm

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

not sure where everybody's at So I'll just,

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

you know, quick backdrop as to why or

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

what is the story behind this?

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

So the background of this is these were

00:02:31 --> 00:02:35

youth that lived in Rome Okay, these were

00:02:35 --> 00:02:39

seven youth that lived in Rome And there

00:02:39 --> 00:02:42

came a time on the Romans where the

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45

king happened to be a mushrik, a polytheist

00:02:45 --> 00:02:49

He had changed his religion Mainstream Roman, they

00:02:49 --> 00:02:52

were all Christians But he in specific controlled

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

Rome and he had changed his religion It

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57

is mentioned that his name was Dacianus Okay,

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59

and that's where we get the word Dacianus

00:02:59 --> 00:03:02

from in Urdu Right, like the king was

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

horrible and then we say in Urdu Dacianus

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

So, you know, just don't talk, don't ramble

00:03:06 --> 00:03:09

and talk unnecessary nonsense, right?

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

So Dacianus is the name of that king

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17

These seven people and the reason I'm saying

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

seven is because there were many sahabahs Who

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

said that I know for a fact that

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24

they were seven Abdullah ibn Abbas used to

00:03:24 --> 00:03:27

say, I know, you know, وَمَا يَعْلَمُهُم مِّن

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

لَّا قَلِيلٍ Allah says that then their number

00:03:29 --> 00:03:30

knows very few people and he used to

00:03:30 --> 00:03:33

say وَأَنَا مِّن الْقَلِيلِ And I'm from these

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

few people who knows the exact meaning and

00:03:35 --> 00:03:39

they were seven Now the stories of seven

00:03:39 --> 00:03:47

sleepers is found in all different religions Buddhists

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

have seven sleepers stories The Christians have seven

00:03:49 --> 00:03:52

sleepers stories The Jewish people have just seven

00:03:52 --> 00:03:53

sleepers stories, right?

00:03:54 --> 00:03:56

So because it became and everybody's trying to

00:03:56 --> 00:04:00

They belong to us That miracle because they

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

were Christians and so it happened There were

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

Jews that happened They were Buddhists That's what

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

it happened So everyone's trying to claim to

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07

that So that's why they asked the Jewish

00:04:07 --> 00:04:10

people They said, okay, ask prophet about these

00:04:10 --> 00:04:13

ashabul kahf We'll really know if he truly

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

is coming from the same source The wahy

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

is coming from the same source Now this

00:04:18 --> 00:04:24

king These seven people they met a monk

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

who was a Christian monk Who had accepted

00:04:27 --> 00:04:32

Christianity Not the altered version, but the correct

00:04:32 --> 00:04:36

version And he had taught them tawheed These

00:04:36 --> 00:04:43

seven were basically sons of aristocrats, bureaucrats Top

00:04:43 --> 00:04:45

echelon, the top tier, the movers and shakers

00:04:45 --> 00:04:49

of the society So the king, if they

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

were from the lower class They would have

00:04:51 --> 00:04:54

been killed immediately But since they were from

00:04:54 --> 00:04:56

the upper class The king gave them a

00:04:56 --> 00:05:00

choice He said to them, listen, you have

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

a choice You can come back to me

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

tomorrow with your reformed versions And back to

00:05:06 --> 00:05:09

my religion Or else there's going to be

00:05:09 --> 00:05:13

consequences So that's where the story, the context

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

of the story is And then we're going

00:05:14 --> 00:05:15

to get to know a little bit about

00:05:15 --> 00:05:16

the story What happened when, you know, when

00:05:16 --> 00:05:19

all of this happened So Allah subhanahu wa'ta

00:05:19 --> 00:05:24

'ala says to prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam Let

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

me end the summary of the story Because

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

some people may not know the story And

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

they might get stuck over there So ending

00:05:29 --> 00:05:31

of the story is they decided to leave

00:05:31 --> 00:05:32

the city They ended up in the cave

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala put them to sleep

00:05:34 --> 00:05:35

for how many years?

00:05:38 --> 00:05:41

309 years or 300 years We'll talk about

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

why 300 and why 309 So they were

00:05:43 --> 00:05:46

in the in the cave for 309 years

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

And then after 309 years Allah subhanahu wa'ta

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52

'ala resurrected them The community saw them and

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

they were like, oh my god These were

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

the seven sleepers that were lost The legend

00:05:55 --> 00:06:00

is true And from there onwards They realized

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

that life is not going to be very

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

easy for us So they asked dua to

00:06:04 --> 00:06:07

Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala to put us back

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

to sleep again We don't want to live

00:06:10 --> 00:06:12

This world has changed too much for us

00:06:12 --> 00:06:15

And it's just too much change If you

00:06:15 --> 00:06:16

ever think about like people who go to

00:06:16 --> 00:06:18

prison, for example They come back after 20

00:06:18 --> 00:06:19

years.

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

They can't adjust to the society Things have

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

moved on.

00:06:22 --> 00:06:24

They can't understand People who've been asleep in

00:06:24 --> 00:06:26

coma sometimes for 20 years When they wake

00:06:26 --> 00:06:29

up, they're like, what is this world?

00:06:29 --> 00:06:31

I left it and everything has changed It

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

becomes very difficult for them to adjust So

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

they said, ya Allah, this is too much

00:06:35 --> 00:06:38

for us to adjust Take our souls And

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41

that moment where they were in that same

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

grave They all went back to sleep and

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

they never woke up Okay, so that's the

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48

story Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says, he starts

00:06:48 --> 00:06:52

off He says, Oh Prophet of Allah Did

00:06:52 --> 00:07:00

you think The people of the cave, i

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

.e. the dwellers of the cave And inscriptions

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05

or a plaque, right?

00:07:05 --> 00:07:08

An inscription was basically, this raqim means That

00:07:08 --> 00:07:12

there was a plaque at the cave After

00:07:12 --> 00:07:14

they died, people wrote the names of these

00:07:14 --> 00:07:18

seven people on those caves Okay, on the

00:07:18 --> 00:07:19

cave, the names of those seven people And

00:07:19 --> 00:07:21

those seven people, they used to be called

00:07:21 --> 00:07:25

The people of the plaque or inscriptions Or

00:07:25 --> 00:07:28

they used to be called Or the people

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

of the cave They were both names, synonyms

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

That's why Allah is like, did you think

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

for a second Oh Prophet of Allah, did

00:07:35 --> 00:07:39

you think That the people of the cave

00:07:39 --> 00:07:44

And inscriptions or the plaque They were from

00:07:44 --> 00:07:47

the strangest signs or wonders of Allah subhanahu

00:07:47 --> 00:07:51

wa'ta'ala So it's a rhetorical question The

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53

way Allah is asking this question is like

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55

He's like, I have got a lot more

00:07:55 --> 00:07:58

greater signs than So did you think for

00:07:58 --> 00:08:01

a second that This is a great sign

00:08:01 --> 00:08:03

This is a wondrous sign compared to all

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

the other wondrous signs I have This is

00:08:05 --> 00:08:07

not, this is the least in its wonder,

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

right?

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

So it's diminishing the wondrous nature of that

00:08:12 --> 00:08:15

event How is that important for us to

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

fight Dajjal?

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22

Connected to Dajjal, because these ten verses, these

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24

nine verses are supposed to help you How

00:08:24 --> 00:08:24

is that important?

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

Because Dajjal makes you feel like you can

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

do anything Exactly, and you're like, Allah is

00:08:29 --> 00:08:32

like If Ashab ul Kahf was just a

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

normal sign And Allah has a lot more

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

wondrous signs, then who is Dajjal?

00:08:37 --> 00:08:38

Right, then who is Dajjal?

00:08:38 --> 00:08:39

Dajjal is not going to be able to

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41

put somebody to sleep and resurrect them in

00:08:41 --> 00:08:44

300 years With the same flesh So if

00:08:44 --> 00:08:50

this, which is a great wonder It's an

00:08:50 --> 00:08:55

absolute great wonder If this great wonder Allah

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

is saying is not the most wondrous of

00:08:57 --> 00:09:00

my signs Don't think that, oh wow, this

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

is the pinnacle This is just the starting

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

point of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's wonder

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

So then when we see Dajjal, we're like,

00:09:08 --> 00:09:11

trust me, bro I know Ashab ul Kahf,

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

they were much more wondrous than you And

00:09:13 --> 00:09:15

to even them, Allah is like, they're not

00:09:15 --> 00:09:18

the peak of wonder There's a lot more

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

to come من آياتنا عجبا So كانوا من

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

آياتنا عجبا Oh Prophet of Allah, did you

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

think that they are the only wonder signs

00:09:28 --> 00:09:30

Or are they the peak of the wonder

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

signs of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?

00:09:42 --> 00:09:44

The next ayah Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:09:44 --> 00:09:50

says إِذْ أَوَى الْفِتْيَةُ إِلَى الْكَهْرِ إِذْ وَنْ

00:09:50 --> 00:09:54

أَوَى Sought refuge أَوَى يَعْوِي To take refuge

00:09:54 --> 00:09:59

in something إِذْ وَنْ أَوَى Took refuge الفِتْيَةُ

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

الفِتْيَةُ Young people And الفِتْيَةُ comes from the

00:10:05 --> 00:10:11

root word of فَتُوَى فَاتَوَى That's the same

00:10:11 --> 00:10:15

root word For fatwa That's the same root

00:10:15 --> 00:10:19

word for fatwa We talked about that أَفْتِنَا

00:10:19 --> 00:10:24

فِي سَبِعِ بَقَرَاتٍ سَمَان Oh Yusuf A.S.

00:10:24 --> 00:10:27

Give us fatwa Same thing فَتْيَةُ Which is

00:10:27 --> 00:10:31

referring to power فَتُوَى Is basically referring to

00:10:31 --> 00:10:35

power And فَتْوَى Is when you have a

00:10:35 --> 00:10:38

weakness In your understanding of the deen And

00:10:38 --> 00:10:42

you seek somebody else's strength In their understanding

00:10:42 --> 00:10:47

of the deen To relinquish your gap So

00:10:47 --> 00:10:49

when you say give me fatwa Give me

00:10:49 --> 00:10:53

some of the strength Of understanding that you

00:10:53 --> 00:10:57

have in this issue That I happen to

00:10:57 --> 00:10:59

have a weakness in So help me in

00:10:59 --> 00:11:03

that That's a fatwa From there word You

00:11:03 --> 00:11:05

know it was used for فِتْيَةُ In Arabic

00:11:05 --> 00:11:13

language In Arabic language It's so powerful sometimes

00:11:14 --> 00:11:17

And I'm only mentioning this So we appreciate

00:11:19 --> 00:11:22

The depth of Arabic language So it's not

00:11:22 --> 00:11:27

just like Randomly Allah used Right Allah uses

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

word very specifically So in the Arabic language

00:11:31 --> 00:11:33

The first stage of a human being is

00:11:33 --> 00:11:38

جَنِين Okay جَنِين So جَنِين is from what

00:11:38 --> 00:11:43

جَنَّ جَنَّ Hidden جَنَّ is hidden Jins are

00:11:43 --> 00:11:47

hidden جَنِين is hidden It's all from the

00:11:47 --> 00:11:54

word جِين Right جَنَّات Right Gardens And جَنَّات

00:11:54 --> 00:11:57

are specific gardens in which The external is

00:11:57 --> 00:11:59

visible But the internal is not visible Right

00:11:59 --> 00:12:02

So generally Arabic has this thing with You

00:12:02 --> 00:12:09

know جَبَان جَحِيم Hidden جَهَنَّم So you'll see

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

that You know جَحِيم Is blazing fire And

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

the actual عذاب of it is hidden inside

00:12:15 --> 00:12:19

Allah protect us, right So جَنِين is when

00:12:19 --> 00:12:23

the baby is in the womb When it

00:12:23 --> 00:12:25

is born it is called وَلِيد It's been

00:12:25 --> 00:12:29

born Then when it suckles it's called رَضِيع

00:12:29 --> 00:12:33

That it's suckling Then when it separates from

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35

the suckling stage Two years Then it becomes

00:12:35 --> 00:12:40

فَطِيم Good It becomes فَطِيم Then when he

00:12:40 --> 00:12:46

starts walking The child is called دَارِج Right

00:12:46 --> 00:12:48

And from there comes the word دَرَّج In

00:12:48 --> 00:12:51

Arabic Like you know something cycle So دَارِج

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

It's just like a cycle It just goes

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

around everywhere Right And then from دَارِج Comes

00:12:57 --> 00:13:00

After 10 So دَارِج is until 10 After

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

10 You know Until puberty It's called حَزْوَر

00:13:07 --> 00:13:11

Or مُتَرَعْرِ These two states means He is

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

going to occupy your mind Like no other

00:13:14 --> 00:13:18

child It's just gonna From 10 until they

00:13:18 --> 00:13:22

hit puberty They're gonna like Because they're evolving

00:13:22 --> 00:13:25

So they're thinking And you won't even recognize

00:13:25 --> 00:13:28

مُتَرَعْرِ means somebody That you're not able to

00:13:28 --> 00:13:30

recognize What is this person?

00:13:31 --> 00:13:33

Every day there's a new face Every day

00:13:33 --> 00:13:36

there's a new personality New mood swings New

00:13:36 --> 00:13:40

angers Everything is happening Then from there When

00:13:40 --> 00:13:45

they're just close to puberty Right They're called

00:13:45 --> 00:13:49

يَافِع They're in a state of settlement They're

00:13:49 --> 00:13:52

settling When they hit puberty They're called what?

00:13:53 --> 00:14:02

سِنُّ المُرَاحِق يُرْهِقُوك They will tire you رَهَق

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

means that they will tire you Mentally Emotionally

00:14:05 --> 00:14:08

In every state you can think of سِنُّ

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

المُرَاحِق Which is the teenage After that When

00:14:15 --> 00:14:20

The beards and mustache of the boy They

00:14:20 --> 00:14:25

start forming completely From that stage Until the

00:14:25 --> 00:14:29

stage where The beard completely You know like

00:14:29 --> 00:14:31

Abdullah's beard is not fully there yet Right

00:14:32 --> 00:14:36

He's still مُرَاحِق He's still مُرَاحِق But eventually

00:14:36 --> 00:14:40

it connects Everything is full When you have

00:14:40 --> 00:14:43

a full beard and mustache That stage is

00:14:43 --> 00:14:48

called فَتَى Okay Usually between age of 20

00:14:48 --> 00:14:51

to Usually around 20 And it could be

00:14:51 --> 00:14:53

earlier for some people later But it's based

00:14:53 --> 00:14:56

on the face So the person would look

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

at it And they would Oh this guy

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

has reached the age of فَتَى or فُتُوَى

00:14:59 --> 00:15:01

So that tells us The reason I tell

00:15:01 --> 00:15:03

you all of this Is because that tells

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

us the age that they were in Right

00:15:05 --> 00:15:07

They were like in their 19s, 20s Like

00:15:07 --> 00:15:11

peak of their Their manhood Peak of masculinity

00:15:11 --> 00:15:16

Peak of power Ambition And their sons and

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

daughters of people Who are going to be

00:15:18 --> 00:15:20

the rulers and leaders of the future Right

00:15:20 --> 00:15:22

So this is the time where they were

00:15:22 --> 00:15:23

going to take off And now they're being

00:15:23 --> 00:15:26

tested with their دين Okay To end this

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

Then when the beard completes So when the

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

beard connects It's فَتَى When the beard fully

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

completes So now there's no more extra growth

00:15:36 --> 00:15:39

happening Then that person is called مُجْتَمِع i

00:15:39 --> 00:15:43

.e. اجتَمَع شَعْرُه That his hair, his facial

00:15:43 --> 00:15:45

hair Is fully complete And then when they

00:15:45 --> 00:15:47

hit 40, what is it?

00:15:51 --> 00:15:56

سِنَّ الْكُحُولَ كَاحِل 40 Is that early?

00:15:57 --> 00:16:02

No So when they hit 40 Then they

00:16:02 --> 00:16:08

become كَاحِل Okay And then we don't count

00:16:08 --> 00:16:13

After that, you just say Allah سَلِّمْ سَلِّمْ

00:16:13 --> 00:16:15

May Allah take us, you know, with ease

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

to Him Inshallah Okay So all of that

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

is important because that these stages Then tell

00:16:19 --> 00:16:20

us that when Allah uses the word فَتَى

00:16:20 --> 00:16:23

It's embedded in that word That they're 19,

00:16:23 --> 00:16:26

20, 21 In that range, it's understood that

00:16:26 --> 00:16:29

إِذْ أَوَى الْفِتْيَةُ إِلَى الْكَهْفِ The word كهف

00:16:29 --> 00:16:35

Is different from the word غار Okay غار

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

is مكان ضيق A place that is very

00:16:37 --> 00:16:39

constricted That only one person can stay in

00:16:39 --> 00:16:43

or two Okay One or two Not much

00:16:43 --> 00:16:49

space إِذَا تَسَعَ الْغَارُ When the غار becomes

00:16:49 --> 00:16:52

wide enough That people can dwell in it

00:16:52 --> 00:16:54

They can live in it You can start

00:16:54 --> 00:16:56

putting things You can put like, you know,

00:16:56 --> 00:16:59

your sleeping bag You can start feeling that

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

Okay, you can live over here Then that

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

place is called كهف Okay مَكَانٌ وَاسِرٌ It's

00:17:04 --> 00:17:06

wide enough that you can dwell in it

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

And it was wide enough for seven people

00:17:08 --> 00:17:10

to easily dwell in that In that cave

00:17:10 --> 00:17:14

Okay إِذْ أَوَى الْكَهْفِ إِذْ أَوَى الْفِتْيَةُ إِلَى

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

الْكَهْفِ فَقَالُوا So when they enter the كهف

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

So what happened?

00:17:18 --> 00:17:20

The story is the king said to them

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

You must believe And Allah subhanahu wa ta

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

'ala Inspired their hearts to say that In

00:17:27 --> 00:17:28

the middle of the night, we're going to

00:17:28 --> 00:17:33

leave So they left Okay, after they proclaimed

00:17:33 --> 00:17:36

their message to the community They left In

00:17:36 --> 00:17:40

the night They arrive at the cave And

00:17:40 --> 00:17:42

the first thing Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:17:42 --> 00:17:47

says The word فَقَالُ Right إِذْ أَوَى الْفِتْيَةُ

00:17:47 --> 00:17:50

إِلَى الْكَهْفِ When the young These young people

00:17:50 --> 00:17:54

When these youth took refuge Refuge in the

00:17:54 --> 00:17:59

cave فَقَالُ So they said Not and Generally

00:17:59 --> 00:18:04

translations will say and That's not appropriate فَقَالُ

00:18:04 --> 00:18:05

So they said Which means they didn't wait

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

to set up their beds Okay, which corner

00:18:07 --> 00:18:08

you're taking?

00:18:08 --> 00:18:09

I'm going to take that corner Okay, I

00:18:09 --> 00:18:10

got this corner You got this corner We

00:18:10 --> 00:18:15

set ourselves up No, they immediately remembered That

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

we cannot survive in this cave Except that

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

we have to ask Allah for mercy And

00:18:21 --> 00:18:25

then they say رَبَّنَا آتِنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمًا

00:18:25 --> 00:18:28

Oh Allah, we seek from you and ask

00:18:28 --> 00:18:32

from you مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمًا وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ

00:18:32 --> 00:18:38

أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا And facilitate for us مِنْ أَمْرِنَا

00:18:38 --> 00:18:43

Of our affairs هَيِّئْ لَنَا Facilitate for us

00:18:43 --> 00:18:47

مِنْ أَمْرِنَا Of our affairs رَشَدًا A clear

00:18:47 --> 00:18:50

guiding path Something that will be able to

00:18:50 --> 00:18:53

allow us to go through this very easily

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

And we can understand what to do next

00:18:56 --> 00:18:58

What is the connection between this and Dajjal?

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

How is this ayah going to protect us

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

from Dajjal?

00:19:09 --> 00:19:12

Firstly, we should not be afraid to run

00:19:12 --> 00:19:16

away from Dajjal That's the first thing اِذْ

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

أَوَلْ فِتْيَدُوا إِلَىٰ كَهْفِ There's going to be

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

time where Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said That

00:19:23 --> 00:19:27

the fitna will be so widespread We all

00:19:27 --> 00:19:30

are going to be tested so much That

00:19:30 --> 00:19:32

when the man is going to be leaving

00:19:32 --> 00:19:35

his house He will be so afraid about

00:19:35 --> 00:19:39

the deen of their children and their daughters

00:19:39 --> 00:19:44

That he would lock them up That perhaps

00:19:44 --> 00:19:47

somebody, some passerby may come and destroy their

00:19:47 --> 00:19:50

iman And another narration, Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:19:50 --> 00:19:54

said That it will become so dangerous That

00:19:54 --> 00:19:57

to protect the iman Because a man, you

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

know, if he's going out to do whatever

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

He's part of an army At home, he

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

would be so afraid that he would chain

00:20:04 --> 00:20:07

The word is he would chain his family

00:20:07 --> 00:20:11

up Until he comes back So they don't

00:20:11 --> 00:20:15

access the outside because of fitna It's going

00:20:15 --> 00:20:16

to be very difficult times And Prophet Sallallahu

00:20:16 --> 00:20:18

Alaihi Wasallam said If you come around that

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

time Then عليكم بالجبال Then you have to

00:20:22 --> 00:20:26

run towards the mountains Our iman is going

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

to be tested so much That we are

00:20:28 --> 00:20:30

going to have to run towards the mountains

00:20:32 --> 00:20:34

We have to run towards the mountains to

00:20:34 --> 00:20:37

protect ourselves from this fitna So over here

00:20:37 --> 00:20:39

they left the comforts of their life They

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

left everything they were accustomed to They left

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

their posh lifestyle I mean Roman, you know,

00:20:46 --> 00:20:47

they were from the elites of the Roman

00:20:47 --> 00:20:52

They left all of that For the protection

00:20:52 --> 00:20:55

of their iman And sometimes we might have

00:20:55 --> 00:21:00

to leave Some of our own comforts Because

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

we might be tested with our iman Sometimes

00:21:03 --> 00:21:04

we might have to say this is not

00:21:04 --> 00:21:07

working for us Right, like one of the

00:21:07 --> 00:21:09

brothers came to me And you know, they

00:21:09 --> 00:21:11

were having some difficulties with their daughter And

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

she was 13 and I said to them,

00:21:13 --> 00:21:17

I said move She has bad company and

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

she has made bad friends Solution is move.

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

I mean if you're worried about her iman

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

I said Sheikh, move?

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

Just for her iman?

00:21:26 --> 00:21:27

It depends on how bad you want to

00:21:27 --> 00:21:28

protect it.

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

So they moved After convincing, they moved And

00:21:32 --> 00:21:34

then she ended up in a different school

00:21:35 --> 00:21:38

And subhanallah, everything changed She found some good

00:21:38 --> 00:21:43

friends Some like and now mashallah Everything changed

00:21:43 --> 00:21:48

for her So sometimes moving becomes necessary We

00:21:48 --> 00:21:51

might have to put ourselves in some discomfort

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

To protect our iman And we should be

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

ready for it And if you guys are

00:21:56 --> 00:21:58

not seeing what is coming I don't know

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

if you guys are understanding The political climate

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

and socio-political climate right now If you're

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

just, you know There is that which is

00:22:05 --> 00:22:06

obvious, I don't want to go into that

00:22:06 --> 00:22:09

But there is the underpinning And if you're

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

just reading some of that We should be

00:22:12 --> 00:22:14

really scared of what could be coming It's

00:22:14 --> 00:22:20

very It's already there in Scandinavian countries for

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

the Muslims Right?

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

You saw that thing they posted yesterday That

00:22:26 --> 00:22:29

anybody who was born in Afghanistan And if

00:22:29 --> 00:22:31

they have had a criminal record I don't

00:22:31 --> 00:22:34

know which country And then Germany followed suit

00:22:34 --> 00:22:36

And said if you were born in Afghanistan

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

And you've had a criminal record in Germany

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

You will be sent back to Afghanistan Okay?

00:22:42 --> 00:22:46

So like Somalia Like people, things are happening

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

in Finland Somalis Somalis are coming in with

00:22:49 --> 00:22:52

mass immigration And then the fact that they

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

request halal meat Family services are called to

00:22:54 --> 00:22:57

them Their children are stripped away There's a

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

Pakistani activist She did a whole documentary on

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

that And how she was able to find

00:23:02 --> 00:23:05

these five brothers and sisters That were forced

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

by the family services To put into different

00:23:07 --> 00:23:11

systems And then she tracked all of these

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

kids down And then connected It's a beautiful

00:23:14 --> 00:23:16

documentary But it's also painful that this is

00:23:16 --> 00:23:20

happening And it's happening not only to Muslims

00:23:20 --> 00:23:24

It's happening to anybody who doesn't look white

00:23:24 --> 00:23:28

Or their demographics It also happened to Hindus

00:23:29 --> 00:23:33

Where a very famous movie Was made on

00:23:33 --> 00:23:35

that true story Where she fought for her

00:23:35 --> 00:23:39

children back I don't remember the name But

00:23:39 --> 00:23:40

you know, it was a true story True

00:23:40 --> 00:23:42

life story The only reason they took her

00:23:42 --> 00:23:45

kid Was she was feeding her kids with

00:23:45 --> 00:23:52

hen Yeah Like this is real stuff So

00:23:52 --> 00:23:54

this is already happening in Canada I mean,

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

my wife knows tons of stories It's already

00:23:58 --> 00:24:01

happening in Canada Today my mom called me

00:24:01 --> 00:24:03

And she, you know, remember this person I

00:24:03 --> 00:24:05

said, yeah, they took away her daughter You

00:24:05 --> 00:24:06

know, this person, their daughter Is being taken

00:24:06 --> 00:24:11

away So it's coming It's coming unless we

00:24:11 --> 00:24:15

become smart We unify Stop fighting with one

00:24:15 --> 00:24:18

another Over what is this and that And

00:24:18 --> 00:24:21

focus on building strong aqidahs Based on Quran

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

So it's coming So this ayah tells us

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

That during the time of Dajjal If they

00:24:27 --> 00:24:30

could leave their comforts Who are we?

00:24:31 --> 00:24:33

We hear Dajjal is coming from here And

00:24:33 --> 00:24:35

he's going to be in tomorrow Pack your

00:24:35 --> 00:24:38

bags and out And see people do that

00:24:38 --> 00:24:42

for their lives So when Jasper in Canada

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

was in flames And half of the city

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

of Jasper was burned Everybody packed up their

00:24:47 --> 00:24:50

bags and left The real question is Are

00:24:50 --> 00:24:52

we going to have the strength To pack

00:24:52 --> 00:24:55

our bags for our iman Not just for

00:24:55 --> 00:24:58

our life So that's what this ayah tells

00:24:58 --> 00:25:04

us They said Oh Allah, we ask you

00:25:04 --> 00:25:06

to give us rahma and mercy From you

00:25:06 --> 00:25:12

And prepare for us or facilitate for us

00:25:12 --> 00:25:14

A right ordeal for us in this affairs

00:25:14 --> 00:25:17

Okay We have to leave from there and

00:25:17 --> 00:25:20

go somewhere Mountains, as prophet said Mountains I

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

actually met four It's a tangent But I

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

met somebody Who sold all of his house

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

He used to work on Bay Street Which

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

is like Wall Street for here But Bay

00:25:32 --> 00:25:34

Street in Canada He used to work on

00:25:34 --> 00:25:36

Bay Street He sold his company on stock

00:25:36 --> 00:25:39

exchange He sold the IPO Sold everything Made

00:25:39 --> 00:25:42

millions of dollars And they bought I think

00:25:42 --> 00:25:45

400 acres of land Or 500 acres of

00:25:45 --> 00:25:48

land And there were 400 families That were

00:25:48 --> 00:25:53

deciding to Decided to completely disconnect From the

00:25:53 --> 00:25:56

system And they were going to go and

00:25:56 --> 00:25:58

live And each person was going to have

00:25:58 --> 00:26:00

Like an acre of land And they will,

00:26:01 --> 00:26:02

you know, help one another To build that

00:26:02 --> 00:26:05

community And they literally Like I remember seeing

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

his trailer And he was like, you know,

00:26:07 --> 00:26:11

stacking seeds And they were like, we're preparing

00:26:11 --> 00:26:14

And I was like, subhanallah The level of

00:26:14 --> 00:26:17

discomfort You have to put yourself to save

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

your iman But then my phone got lost

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

And I lost the person's contact Because I

00:26:21 --> 00:26:24

wanted to know what happened to them فَضَرَبْنَا

00:26:24 --> 00:26:28

عَلَىٰ آذَانِهِمْ فِي الْكَهْفِ سِنِينَ عَدَدًا So Allah

00:26:28 --> 00:26:31

subhanahu wa ta'ala says فَضَرَبْنَا So it

00:26:31 --> 00:26:33

says فَضَرَبْنَا So we strike them, right?

00:26:33 --> 00:26:36

We strike فَضَرَبْنَا We strike on them But

00:26:36 --> 00:26:39

over here figuratively فَضَرَبْنَا عَلَىٰ آذَانِهِمْ That we

00:26:39 --> 00:26:42

close their ears We place something to lock

00:26:42 --> 00:26:45

their ears عَلَىٰ آذَانِهِمْ On their ears فِي

00:26:45 --> 00:26:52

الْكَهْفِ فِي الْكَهْفِ سِنِينَ عَدَدًا Many many years

00:26:52 --> 00:26:55

to come They were sleeping in their cave

00:26:55 --> 00:27:02

Okay Now The ayah itself Never once talks

00:27:02 --> 00:27:11

about sleeping Observe the Arabic Okay Sleeping was

00:27:11 --> 00:27:15

implied We took an implied understanding That if

00:27:15 --> 00:27:17

their ears are closed Then they're sleeping So

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

there's very important information For us to remember

00:27:20 --> 00:27:23

The ayah itself Allah did not use once

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

the word ضَرَبْنَا means to sleep ضَرَبْنَا عَلَىٰ

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

آذَانِهِمْ فِي الْكَهْفِ سِنِينَ عَدَدًا Now the word

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

ضرب ضربة is very interesting ضربة can only

00:27:35 --> 00:27:39

be used When you hit something hard With

00:27:39 --> 00:27:41

something that is softer So if you take

00:27:41 --> 00:27:43

a hammer You hit the table The hammer

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

is harder than the table But if you

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

take a mallet Like a rubber hammer And

00:27:48 --> 00:27:51

you Or a mallet And you hit The

00:27:51 --> 00:27:53

table with it It wouldn't be called ضَرَبْتُ

00:27:53 --> 00:27:56

الْطَاوِلَ It wouldn't be called that Because that

00:27:56 --> 00:28:00

That mallet is actually soft So ضربة is

00:28:00 --> 00:28:04

only when you hit something Hard Physical On

00:28:04 --> 00:28:06

something that is soft This is very important

00:28:06 --> 00:28:08

for us to understand How we're going to

00:28:08 --> 00:28:12

interpret Some of these ayahs later Okay ضَرَبْنَا

00:28:14 --> 00:28:19

فَضَرَبْنَا عَلَى آذَانِهِمْ فِي الْكَهْفِ سِنِينَ عَدَدًا Question

00:28:19 --> 00:28:20

for all of us When we go to

00:28:20 --> 00:28:24

sleep Which faculty of ours is always awake?

00:28:27 --> 00:28:32

Hearing The eyes closed Hearing is the only

00:28:32 --> 00:28:36

thing that's awake Right Hearing is like listening

00:28:36 --> 00:28:38

all the time Right Everything else can take

00:28:38 --> 00:28:40

a rest But hearing is the only thing

00:28:40 --> 00:28:42

that can take a rest So what is

00:28:42 --> 00:28:46

the significance of Just locking the ears up

00:28:46 --> 00:28:48

Like closing the ears What's the significance?

00:28:48 --> 00:28:50

If you and I all of us can

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

sleep With our ears open Why specifically mention

00:28:53 --> 00:28:54

this?

00:28:58 --> 00:29:03

The dead can hear In the hadith Right

00:29:03 --> 00:29:05

The dead can hear Prophet ﷺ said When

00:29:05 --> 00:29:12

you bury your loved ones Not necessarily Not

00:29:12 --> 00:29:15

necessarily In our Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah The

00:29:15 --> 00:29:20

dead can hear They just can't Prophet ﷺ

00:29:20 --> 00:29:25

When he When Abu Jahl Uthbah, Uthaybah They

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

were all buried in the Qalib They were

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

all buried up Right And Prophet ﷺ said

00:29:31 --> 00:29:33

You know Did you find the promise that

00:29:33 --> 00:29:34

your gods give?

00:29:35 --> 00:29:36

Did it come true?

00:29:36 --> 00:29:38

Was that promise true?

00:29:38 --> 00:29:41

For rarely I found the promise my god

00:29:41 --> 00:29:44

made me It came true So the sahabahs

00:29:44 --> 00:29:49

They said Ya Rasulullah Right Are they Are

00:29:49 --> 00:29:50

they Can they hear?

00:29:51 --> 00:29:55

He said They can hear But they Like

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

you and me But they cannot respond They

00:29:58 --> 00:30:01

cannot respond No, there's no hadith that tells

00:30:01 --> 00:30:07

us Not that I'm aware of Okay Okay

00:30:08 --> 00:30:10

Maybe But I'm not aware of that So

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

So Allah s.w.t. says That we

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

sealed their ears I want you to think

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

about it Why specifically I'm not going to

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

give you the answer I want you to

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

think about it Like, you know, a little

00:30:21 --> 00:30:23

reflection Yeah, you want to give an answer?

00:30:23 --> 00:30:26

Yes So you said that The only thing

00:30:26 --> 00:30:28

that's awake is the ears When you sleep

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

Everything else is resting other than the ears

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

If Allah doesn't want them to be Like

00:30:33 --> 00:30:35

any kind of awake It covers their hearing

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

Is that like a correlation?

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

Covering the ears is like Leaving it to

00:30:42 --> 00:30:43

the unknown Like you are not able to

00:30:43 --> 00:30:45

know Anything that's going around you Or anything

00:30:45 --> 00:30:47

that's happening in this time frame You are

00:30:47 --> 00:30:49

now in the unknown Is that something?

00:30:49 --> 00:30:53

Close or You said some Some key words

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

there My daughter is laughing at the back

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

She's like So you said some key words

00:30:58 --> 00:31:01

there But yeah, you're close You're very close

00:31:02 --> 00:31:04

It's the unknown They're not in the time

00:31:04 --> 00:31:05

frame And a lot of that stuff is

00:31:05 --> 00:31:08

going to come Inshallah Okay, as I said

00:31:08 --> 00:31:09

There's going to be some time travel here

00:31:09 --> 00:31:15

too Okay Yes Then Allah subhanahu wa ta

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

'ala says Next ayah ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَاهُمْ So what

00:31:18 --> 00:31:19

happened?

00:31:19 --> 00:31:21

After this They were in the cave for

00:31:21 --> 00:31:23

that many years Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:31:23 --> 00:31:27

says ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَاهُمْ So we resurrected them Okay

00:31:27 --> 00:31:34

ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَاهُمْ We resurrected them Okay Now بَعَثْنَاهُمْ

00:31:34 --> 00:31:43

Right It's very interesting بَعْثْ Or بَعْثْ Is

00:31:43 --> 00:31:49

basically When something inside of us Motivates us

00:31:49 --> 00:31:53

And then we do an action Okay That

00:31:53 --> 00:31:57

is called بَعْثْ Like that There was something

00:31:57 --> 00:32:04

that That inside Something happened Emotionally With our

00:32:04 --> 00:32:07

beliefs That led me to say I need

00:32:07 --> 00:32:09

to go and do this Good or bad

00:32:09 --> 00:32:16

بَعْثْ Okay From there They say that They

00:32:16 --> 00:32:20

say this for a camel So if a

00:32:20 --> 00:32:22

camel was sitting normally And then all of

00:32:22 --> 00:32:24

a sudden the camel becomes very aggressive They

00:32:24 --> 00:32:27

say بَعْثْ That something has rattled him Something

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

has caused him to get up from his

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

sitting And come out Why is this important?

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

Allah is like ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَاهُمْ So they felt

00:32:38 --> 00:32:42

inside of them A feeling It's time for

00:32:42 --> 00:32:44

us to get up Okay Allah did not

00:32:44 --> 00:32:49

send an angel Just like sometimes when we

00:32:49 --> 00:32:50

go to sleep And we wake up before

00:32:50 --> 00:32:55

the alarm Something wakes you up And sometimes

00:32:55 --> 00:32:59

you wake up and you hear Like You

00:32:59 --> 00:32:59

know what?

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

Maybe I should make wudu and pray something

00:33:02 --> 00:33:04

Like you're not regular tahajjud prayer But you'll

00:33:04 --> 00:33:08

see that That is called بَعْثْ And that

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

بَعْثْ Our acute ability to be able to

00:33:11 --> 00:33:19

hear These spiritual Interactions that Allah subhanahu wa

00:33:19 --> 00:33:21

ta'ala is doing Via angels And they

00:33:21 --> 00:33:25

call that لَمَّةُ الْمَلَكُ Right That an angel

00:33:25 --> 00:33:28

comes and whispers Okay The angel comes and

00:33:28 --> 00:33:31

whispers Not to you But the presence of

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

the angel And them talking around you You

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

feel like You wake up and you all

00:33:35 --> 00:33:37

of a sudden feel very good Or sometimes

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

you're just You're not accustomed to doing some

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

good deed And one day you wake up

00:33:41 --> 00:33:42

And it's like let me just read the

00:33:42 --> 00:33:44

Quran today Let me just open the Quran

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

and read it That is called بَعْثْ Okay

00:33:46 --> 00:33:49

So Allah is like ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَاهُمْ That this

00:33:49 --> 00:33:53

was not through an angel We inspired them

00:33:53 --> 00:33:58

And they got resurrected ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَاهُمْ لِنَعْلَمَ Now

00:33:58 --> 00:34:01

they're awake But لِنَعْلَمَ Somebody else needs to

00:34:01 --> 00:34:05

know لِنَعْلَمَ أَيُّ الْحِزْبَيْنِ Which of the two

00:34:05 --> 00:34:11

people أَحْصَى لِمَا لَبِثُوا أَمَدًا Which of the

00:34:11 --> 00:34:14

two were more accurate For the length of

00:34:14 --> 00:34:16

the stay they stayed in the cave Who

00:34:16 --> 00:34:17

are these two groups?

00:34:20 --> 00:34:24

Okay Number one إِنَّ الْحِزْبَيْنِ هُمَا مُخْتَلِفَانِ فِي

00:34:24 --> 00:34:28

أَمْرُهُمْ Okay مِن قَوْمِ الْفِتْيَةِ So there were

00:34:28 --> 00:34:35

two people There were two groups Within the

00:34:35 --> 00:34:38

nation of these seven people There were two

00:34:38 --> 00:34:42

groups that were formed And they argued amongst

00:34:42 --> 00:34:46

themselves So the king, the Mushrik king, that

00:34:46 --> 00:34:50

community They left that community These أَيُّ الْحِزْبَيْنِ

00:34:50 --> 00:34:55

These two groups, they started arguing And they

00:34:55 --> 00:34:56

started saying, where did they go?

00:34:56 --> 00:34:57

How long have they been gone?

00:34:58 --> 00:35:00

They started having dispute amongst them Some said

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

the king has killed them And we don't

00:35:02 --> 00:35:03

know what happened to them This is the

00:35:03 --> 00:35:05

way the king is actually, you know, running

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

away from So there was a dispute between

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

that nation at that time The second is

00:35:13 --> 00:35:18

the ones who saw them They woke up

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

And there was a whole bunch of people

00:35:20 --> 00:35:22

that came to see them Those seven, oh

00:35:22 --> 00:35:24

my god, these are the people that have

00:35:24 --> 00:35:26

been sleeping for 300 years The group divided

00:35:27 --> 00:35:29

Some said, oh no, these are not the

00:35:29 --> 00:35:31

ones They're not the ones that have been

00:35:31 --> 00:35:33

sleeping for that long And the other said,

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

no, no, no These are the ones that

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

have been sleeping for 300 years One group

00:35:38 --> 00:35:40

said, no, no, no There's nobody who can

00:35:40 --> 00:35:43

survive for 300 years like that So there's

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

two groups that happened From the ones who

00:35:45 --> 00:35:52

found them after 309 years Okay The third,

00:35:52 --> 00:35:58

ayyul hizbain Is, it doesn't matter whether it

00:35:58 --> 00:36:00

was their people or the people who found

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

them So the people of the seven sleepers

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

or the people who found them The two

00:36:04 --> 00:36:07

groups is referring to the mu'mins and the

00:36:07 --> 00:36:10

kafirs The ones who believed in Allah subhanahu

00:36:10 --> 00:36:12

wa ta'ala They completely said, yes, Allah

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

is capable of 300, not 3000 years No

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

problem, we have no problem with that And

00:36:18 --> 00:36:20

the others were the kafir of that time

00:36:21 --> 00:36:23

Whether the time of the king or the

00:36:23 --> 00:36:25

time of the seven sleepers after 309 years

00:36:26 --> 00:36:28

And they said, no, no, no, how is

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

this possible?

00:36:29 --> 00:36:33

309 years, not possible They were the disbelievers

00:36:33 --> 00:36:37

Okay So ayyul hizbain, and the reason why

00:36:37 --> 00:36:39

Allah did not tell you exactly who are

00:36:39 --> 00:36:42

these two groups Is for you and I

00:36:42 --> 00:36:44

to not have a specific group in mind

00:36:44 --> 00:36:48

But understand the concept that whenever there is

00:36:48 --> 00:36:54

going to be things of supernatural nature There

00:36:54 --> 00:36:56

always going to be people who are going

00:36:56 --> 00:36:58

to be deniers And there's going to be

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

people who are going to believe But if

00:37:00 --> 00:37:03

you have evidences that this supernatural event is

00:37:03 --> 00:37:05

happening Based on Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's

00:37:05 --> 00:37:08

intervention or something like that You don't deny

00:37:08 --> 00:37:10

it You're like, yeah, it's possible We don't

00:37:10 --> 00:37:12

deny it, we can't affirm it But we

00:37:12 --> 00:37:15

don't lose our faith over this, right?

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

And that's why it is important because when

00:37:17 --> 00:37:18

Dajjal is going to be able to do

00:37:18 --> 00:37:23

some weird things We want to make sure,

00:37:23 --> 00:37:25

ayyul hizbain, that we want to be with

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

the side of the believers That yes, we

00:37:27 --> 00:37:30

believe We know that they were in there

00:37:30 --> 00:37:32

for 309 years No problem if you can

00:37:32 --> 00:37:34

take somebody out who's been in the grave

00:37:34 --> 00:37:35

for 100 years And you ask them to

00:37:35 --> 00:37:36

come out, we believe in that, no problem

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

That's nothing new to us as Muslims It

00:37:40 --> 00:37:47

might be new for some other people And

00:37:47 --> 00:37:52

the last meaning of that is there were

00:37:52 --> 00:37:53

two groups of people And this is the

00:37:53 --> 00:37:55

meaning that I find is the most appropriate

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

At the time of 309 years, there were

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

two groups of people And within the city,

00:38:01 --> 00:38:04

there was a fiqh debate happening And the

00:38:04 --> 00:38:06

debate was within the Muslim circles And the

00:38:06 --> 00:38:08

debate was, is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:38:08 --> 00:38:11

going to resurrect our physical bodies back?

00:38:12 --> 00:38:12

With the ruh?

00:38:13 --> 00:38:15

Or is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala going

00:38:15 --> 00:38:16

to resurrect just the ruh?

00:38:17 --> 00:38:18

Not the physical body?

00:38:19 --> 00:38:22

That was the debate So when we die

00:38:22 --> 00:38:24

and we get resurrected Do we get our

00:38:24 --> 00:38:26

ruh alone and not the body?

00:38:26 --> 00:38:28

Or do we get the body plus the

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

ruh?

00:38:28 --> 00:38:31

So that was a fiqh discussion within the

00:38:31 --> 00:38:33

circles And the king was involved in that

00:38:33 --> 00:38:37

discussion Because he was their religious leader Kings,

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

people of the past, even the khulafa and

00:38:40 --> 00:38:42

stuff They used to be people of fiqh

00:38:43 --> 00:38:46

Not people who can't even recite Quran nowadays

00:38:48 --> 00:38:52

So that is the most appropriate of the

00:38:52 --> 00:38:54

two groups They were discussing, we're having this

00:38:54 --> 00:38:55

discussion So what did Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:38:55 --> 00:38:55

'ala do?

00:38:56 --> 00:39:00

Allah resurrected them The debate ended This guy

00:39:00 --> 00:39:02

comes, 309?

00:39:02 --> 00:39:05

These are the ones, Allah can resurrect us

00:39:05 --> 00:39:08

with our body and soul combined Problem solved

00:39:08 --> 00:39:18

And that's the most appropriate They're

00:39:18 --> 00:39:21

exactly the same, nothing changed We're going to

00:39:21 --> 00:39:24

come to that They're going to say, maybe

00:39:24 --> 00:39:30

a day or two Nothing longer Okay Then

00:39:30 --> 00:39:38

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says We narrate

00:39:38 --> 00:39:46

to you their story With absolute truthfulness Who

00:39:46 --> 00:39:47

is the narrator?

00:39:48 --> 00:39:51

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala So now the

00:39:51 --> 00:39:54

story begins And what is the miracle of

00:39:54 --> 00:39:57

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's narration?

00:39:57 --> 00:39:59

And this is something that comes to us

00:39:59 --> 00:40:04

So when the ayah ends Where Allah subhanahu

00:40:04 --> 00:40:15

wa ta'ala says At that

00:40:15 --> 00:40:19

tis'a From the time Allah subhanahu wa

00:40:19 --> 00:40:22

ta'ala started our today's lesson Right?

00:40:23 --> 00:40:34

From that time Until tis'a Allah

00:40:34 --> 00:40:37

subhanahu wa ta'ala encapsulated their entire story

00:40:38 --> 00:40:42

Their entire lifespan of 309 years They stayed

00:40:42 --> 00:40:45

in the cave Allah described to us that

00:40:45 --> 00:40:54

entire story in 309 words 309 words So

00:40:55 --> 00:40:57

the entire story if you count the words

00:40:57 --> 00:41:00

is 309 words Right?

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

And that's why Allah is like That's why

00:41:04 --> 00:41:06

this ayah is important We are the narrators

00:41:06 --> 00:41:09

We can narrate a story with so much

00:41:09 --> 00:41:13

precision That we will tell you their 309

00:41:13 --> 00:41:15

years And we'll tell you the story in

00:41:15 --> 00:41:17

309 words Right?

00:41:17 --> 00:41:20

That's the beauty of Allah's narration If you

00:41:20 --> 00:41:22

and I decided to narrate the story There's

00:41:22 --> 00:41:24

no way we'll be able to complete the

00:41:24 --> 00:41:31

story in 309 words The most important thing

00:41:31 --> 00:41:34

is indeed they were fityatun They were young

00:41:34 --> 00:41:36

people We don't need to know their name

00:41:38 --> 00:41:39

What was their name?

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

What?

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

How?

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

None of that is necessary Ethnicity They were

00:41:45 --> 00:41:47

Roman Some said they were Greek Their ethnicity

00:41:47 --> 00:41:51

doesn't matter Allah did not know He absolutely

00:41:51 --> 00:41:54

knew who exactly they were But when Allah

00:41:54 --> 00:42:01

says They were seven people Seven young people

00:42:01 --> 00:42:02

Right?

00:42:02 --> 00:42:04

They were young people That's all you need

00:42:04 --> 00:42:09

to know Their quality that allowed them to

00:42:09 --> 00:42:14

be mentioned in the Quran is They believed

00:42:14 --> 00:42:22

in Allah SWT And we increased them in

00:42:22 --> 00:42:23

guidance Okay?

00:42:25 --> 00:42:35

Now Allah SWT could have said They

00:42:35 --> 00:42:37

used to believe, right?

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

It's understood.

00:42:38 --> 00:42:40

They used to believe in Allah But when

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

Allah uses the word amanu Right?

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

This is where the word tadabbur comes in,

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

right?

00:42:44 --> 00:42:47

When we try to ponder with some grammatical

00:42:47 --> 00:42:51

analysis That amanu is indication of something of

00:42:51 --> 00:42:52

the past As if Allah SWT is saying

00:42:52 --> 00:42:55

that they completed their iman There was no

00:42:55 --> 00:42:58

state of going in and out They were

00:42:58 --> 00:43:02

absolutely Allah is testifying that iman is for

00:43:02 --> 00:43:05

them past tense It's a done deal That's

00:43:05 --> 00:43:07

the subtlety of using the past tense in

00:43:07 --> 00:43:12

this sentence And when they believed in their

00:43:12 --> 00:43:15

Allah SWT In their Rabb Then Allah SWT

00:43:15 --> 00:43:21

says The word amanu is very important for

00:43:21 --> 00:43:22

us Okay?

00:43:23 --> 00:43:28

Because amanu comes from aman What does iman

00:43:28 --> 00:43:28

provide us?

00:43:30 --> 00:43:35

It provides us peace and security Iman is

00:43:35 --> 00:43:38

the strongest anchor that we have as believers

00:43:38 --> 00:43:41

You lose your job, you have iman That

00:43:41 --> 00:43:46

Allah is the raziq He will provide You

00:43:46 --> 00:43:49

lose your loved one, you have iman Inshallah,

00:43:49 --> 00:43:51

they went to the better place We will

00:43:51 --> 00:43:53

do sadaqah jariah for them They'll have a

00:43:53 --> 00:43:56

better reward, better end Even if they didn't

00:43:56 --> 00:44:01

live lives as people Who outwardly may not

00:44:01 --> 00:44:05

have pleased Allah SWT But who are we

00:44:05 --> 00:44:06

to judge in the first place?

00:44:06 --> 00:44:07

But let's say, you know, okay, the person

00:44:07 --> 00:44:10

didn't pray Whatever, you can have tens of

00:44:10 --> 00:44:12

excuse for that person But when they die,

00:44:12 --> 00:44:14

Allah has left the door For sadaqah jariah

00:44:14 --> 00:44:16

open So maybe some of his friends did

00:44:16 --> 00:44:18

a well for him Maybe somebody did some

00:44:18 --> 00:44:21

sadaqah jariah secretly for him And then perpetually

00:44:21 --> 00:44:25

as he's dead He's no longer collecting more

00:44:25 --> 00:44:31

sins But he's collecting good deeds So his

00:44:31 --> 00:44:33

hisab by the time is 2000 years Who

00:44:33 --> 00:44:35

knows, you know, his state changes in the

00:44:35 --> 00:44:37

grave And that's why you say don't ever

00:44:37 --> 00:44:40

underestimate The power of sadaqah jariah So iman

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

provides us the state of sukoon, the state

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

of aman Security from the effect of the

00:44:48 --> 00:44:53

society we live in We feel anchored How

00:44:53 --> 00:44:54

do you feel that?

00:44:54 --> 00:44:58

Like for example, I was in Denver, Colorado

00:44:58 --> 00:45:02

for some conference And not an Islamic conference

00:45:02 --> 00:45:03

I was there for some training and stuff

00:45:03 --> 00:45:07

like that And they took us to a

00:45:07 --> 00:45:09

baseball game I've never seen baseball in my

00:45:09 --> 00:45:12

life until that one game I don't think

00:45:12 --> 00:45:15

I'll ever go It's the world's most useless

00:45:15 --> 00:45:19

game ever But anyhow, I was there and

00:45:19 --> 00:45:20

they gave us this thing And they had

00:45:20 --> 00:45:22

our section, our team section They were all

00:45:22 --> 00:45:25

there And what if you've been to a

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

baseball game?

00:45:25 --> 00:45:27

What is everyone doing when they're at baseball?

00:45:28 --> 00:45:33

Drinking Everyone is drinking like crazy And this

00:45:33 --> 00:45:36

was our Friday night, Saturday morning Nothing to

00:45:36 --> 00:45:39

do There's a casual dinner on Saturday night

00:45:39 --> 00:45:41

for the staff and stuff So they're all

00:45:41 --> 00:45:43

getting drunk I'm the only one that's not

00:45:43 --> 00:45:48

drinking So I still remember There was this

00:45:48 --> 00:45:52

lady, she was from Canada She was Muslim

00:45:54 --> 00:45:57

But again, she didn't know anything She had

00:45:57 --> 00:45:59

no idea So she came to me and

00:45:59 --> 00:46:01

she was with her husband They were there

00:46:01 --> 00:46:03

together And she's like, I just want to

00:46:03 --> 00:46:08

ask you something Why are you so calm?

00:46:09 --> 00:46:11

Like even while she was drinking, it was

00:46:11 --> 00:46:17

bothering her You're not drinking and you're just

00:46:17 --> 00:46:22

completely chilled You've got no tension Nothing to

00:46:22 --> 00:46:26

worry about This Iman is something that's like

00:46:26 --> 00:46:29

a baseline for a believer No matter how

00:46:29 --> 00:46:32

practicing they are or whatever They know that

00:46:32 --> 00:46:34

I did my best Allah is going to

00:46:34 --> 00:46:37

close that deal for me You don't sleep,

00:46:37 --> 00:46:39

you're restless sleep the entire night Waiting to

00:46:39 --> 00:46:41

check your phone and email Like did they

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

respond?

00:46:41 --> 00:46:43

You know, if it is coming, it's coming

00:46:43 --> 00:46:45

There's nothing you can do to stop it

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

And if it's not coming, it's not coming

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

There's nothing you can do to bring it

00:46:49 --> 00:46:52

in your life That's what Iman is But

00:46:52 --> 00:46:54

once we have that Iman in Allah subhanahu

00:46:54 --> 00:46:57

wa ta'ala What Allah says Once they

00:46:57 --> 00:47:02

reach that level of They have that Iman

00:47:03 --> 00:47:05

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala increases them in

00:47:05 --> 00:47:07

guidance So what we walk away from this

00:47:07 --> 00:47:11

ayah is very important We must understand Allah

00:47:11 --> 00:47:14

subhanahu wa ta'ala And this ayah is

00:47:14 --> 00:47:18

an indication of having importance of which science?

00:47:19 --> 00:47:23

Aqeedah The most important science for a believer

00:47:24 --> 00:47:27

Is the science of knowing Allah subhanahu wa

00:47:27 --> 00:47:30

ta'ala Because the better you know Allah

00:47:30 --> 00:47:31

subhanahu wa ta'ala And that science is

00:47:31 --> 00:47:32

called Aqeedah, right?

00:47:33 --> 00:47:34

It's a difficult word, but it means a

00:47:34 --> 00:47:37

knot Which means once you understand it There's

00:47:37 --> 00:47:39

no doubts that can enter You've sealed your

00:47:39 --> 00:47:43

hearts You've sealed your heart from any doubts

00:47:43 --> 00:47:46

entering about the divine That's why it's called

00:47:46 --> 00:47:50

Aqeedah It solidifies, fortifies your heart from doubts

00:47:50 --> 00:47:56

Over here Allah is saying They believed in

00:47:56 --> 00:48:01

Amanu birabbihim Allah is like I was their

00:48:01 --> 00:48:03

Rabb That's the point you need to understand

00:48:04 --> 00:48:07

Allah didn't say Amanu bi They believed in

00:48:07 --> 00:48:11

me Allah is like Amanu, they believed in

00:48:11 --> 00:48:13

Rabb Who's their Rabb?

00:48:13 --> 00:48:17

Allah But Allah is like they knew me,

00:48:17 --> 00:48:20

I was their Rabb It's a testimony of

00:48:20 --> 00:48:22

how well they understood Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:48:22 --> 00:48:25

'ala That Allah is testifying, right?

00:48:26 --> 00:48:28

That is important Even in Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam

00:48:28 --> 00:48:43

story of Nimrod Even

00:48:43 --> 00:48:45

for Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam I was like, did

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

you look at that person that Argued with

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

Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam about who?

00:48:50 --> 00:48:58

Not, Allah cannot say He argued about the

00:48:58 --> 00:49:00

Rabb of Ibrahim Who is the Rabb of

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

Ibrahim?

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

The one who's telling us the story But

00:49:02 --> 00:49:06

Allah is testifying to the absolute understanding of

00:49:06 --> 00:49:09

Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam Of Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:49:09 --> 00:49:11

'ala And these are important points that sometimes

00:49:11 --> 00:49:13

we get lost when we just say they're

00:49:13 --> 00:49:18

God Okay When we have that level of

00:49:18 --> 00:49:22

Yaqeen in Allah Then the consequences Allah increases

00:49:22 --> 00:49:27

you in Hidayah That's the consequence When Allah

00:49:27 --> 00:49:32

becomes yours, guidance is yours That's the thing

00:49:32 --> 00:49:34

we need to walk away with When Allah

00:49:34 --> 00:49:37

becomes yours, guidance is yours Try to make

00:49:37 --> 00:49:41

Allah yours You will not have to walk

00:49:41 --> 00:49:43

or you won't have to look for guidance

00:49:43 --> 00:49:46

It will come to you Because Allah is

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

like they chose me They believe in me

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

as their Rabb And we give them then

00:49:54 --> 00:49:59

extra guidance So Allah becomes yours Then guidance

00:49:59 --> 00:50:02

is yours Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says

00:50:02 --> 00:50:04

in the next ayah And we'll stop at

00:50:04 --> 00:50:05

this ayah When is Maghrib?

00:50:07 --> 00:50:09

8th So we'll go over five minutes with

00:50:09 --> 00:50:11

Maghrib It's fine, we can delay the Salah

00:50:11 --> 00:50:13

a little bit for the Quran As a

00:50:13 --> 00:50:14

matter of fact, Abdullah ibn Abbas He was

00:50:14 --> 00:50:17

once teaching a Dars It was Maghrib time

00:50:17 --> 00:50:19

And he was teaching Quran So he kept

00:50:19 --> 00:50:22

teaching the Dars until Isha He didn't stop

00:50:22 --> 00:50:24

for Maghrib So people stopped him and said

00:50:24 --> 00:50:33

Maghrib So he said I know more than

00:50:33 --> 00:50:34

the matters of Deen than you So just

00:50:34 --> 00:50:37

sit down I'm not doing any of that

00:50:37 --> 00:50:39

today Just letting you guys know But again,

00:50:39 --> 00:50:42

I did think about it I was like

00:50:42 --> 00:50:46

I should do it This is so beautiful

00:50:46 --> 00:50:48

So when they chose Allah to be their

00:50:48 --> 00:50:52

Rabb Allah increased them in guidance And here's

00:50:52 --> 00:50:57

the imagery that Allah says And we tied

00:50:57 --> 00:51:00

their heart Technically what Allah is saying That

00:51:00 --> 00:51:03

their heart was now filled with guidance And

00:51:03 --> 00:51:06

Allah is like So what we did is

00:51:06 --> 00:51:11

when I became theirs Guidance became theirs And

00:51:11 --> 00:51:15

then once I guided them I came and

00:51:15 --> 00:51:18

tied their heart So no misguidance can enter

00:51:18 --> 00:51:22

their heart And Allah is like We sealed

00:51:22 --> 00:51:25

their heart Over here, the translation I don't

00:51:25 --> 00:51:26

know what the translation says Sometimes they say

00:51:26 --> 00:51:29

We fortified their heart Sometimes it says we

00:51:29 --> 00:51:33

strengthened their heart We firmed their heart But

00:51:33 --> 00:51:35

that's not telling you the true imagery Is

00:51:35 --> 00:51:42

that something was open You grabbed it I

00:51:42 --> 00:51:44

sealed it, I tied knot it I put

00:51:44 --> 00:51:47

some twine or something And now nothing goes

00:51:47 --> 00:51:52

in And notice it's So their heart Allah

00:51:52 --> 00:51:58

is like Talks about the seal So the

00:51:58 --> 00:52:01

hearts can be sealed They can be locked

00:52:01 --> 00:52:02

But over here Allah is like We tied

00:52:02 --> 00:52:06

their heart So that nothing could enter So

00:52:06 --> 00:52:08

they can feel the strength of the Iman

00:52:08 --> 00:52:13

After they recognize Allah When did this When

00:52:13 --> 00:52:18

does this sealing happen When does Allah seal

00:52:18 --> 00:52:20

your heart like that For good, not for

00:52:20 --> 00:52:23

bad When will Allah seal your heart When

00:52:23 --> 00:52:24

it's filled with Iman and tied So that

00:52:24 --> 00:52:27

nothing can impact you When does this happen

00:52:28 --> 00:52:31

When you're at that state of Iman What

00:52:31 --> 00:52:33

do we need to do Because we need

00:52:33 --> 00:52:35

to do some actions right for it What

00:52:35 --> 00:52:40

actions did they do What's the next part

00:52:40 --> 00:52:47

of the ayah When they got up In

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

front of the entire society Seven people When

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

they got up for their beliefs When they

00:52:54 --> 00:52:57

stood up for their morals When they stood

00:52:57 --> 00:52:59

up for what they believe to be true

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

You have to All these speakers that are

00:53:03 --> 00:53:05

saying Oh, we shouldn't do advocacy We shouldn't

00:53:05 --> 00:53:07

fight for our rights They need to get

00:53:07 --> 00:53:11

They need to learn That's completely not part

00:53:11 --> 00:53:14

of our thing They could have said We

00:53:14 --> 00:53:18

believe in Allah, no problem You do your

00:53:18 --> 00:53:21

thing When they got up And they said

00:53:21 --> 00:53:26

no This is wrong You're on an absolutely

00:53:26 --> 00:53:31

wrong path And what did they say To

00:53:31 --> 00:53:36

juxtapose their message So they all said They

00:53:36 --> 00:53:44

became Da'ees of Allah Our Rabb You

00:53:44 --> 00:53:48

call other people Rabb Rabbuna, our Rabb It

00:53:48 --> 00:53:51

tells you that there was a response Somebody

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

said, oh, which Rabb That Rabb is like,

00:53:53 --> 00:53:59

no, no, no Our Rabb is Rabbuna As

00:53:59 --> 00:54:01

for you, you can have whatever Rabb you

00:54:01 --> 00:54:04

want Our Rabb is the one who is

00:54:04 --> 00:54:08

the Rabb The sustainer, the maker The one

00:54:08 --> 00:54:13

who formed The one who created the heavens

00:54:13 --> 00:54:18

and the earth And we're not going to

00:54:18 --> 00:54:22

call upon Other than Allah as our Ilah

00:54:24 --> 00:54:27

Ilah is somebody that you worship Now the

00:54:27 --> 00:54:29

word Ilah Is something really powerful Because it

00:54:29 --> 00:54:37

comes from Aliha Ya lahu Aliha And Aliha

00:54:37 --> 00:54:44

means Someone That amazes You At a level

00:54:44 --> 00:54:46

that you're humbled to submit in front of

00:54:46 --> 00:54:53

him That's an Ilah Ilah is Allah subhanahu

00:54:53 --> 00:54:55

wa ta'ala That he is so amazing

00:54:55 --> 00:54:57

And when we see the beauty of Allah

00:54:57 --> 00:54:59

subhanahu wa ta'ala When you're at Blue

00:54:59 --> 00:55:01

Ridge And you see that beautiful colors of

00:55:01 --> 00:55:05

fall When you're in Canada In the Rocky

00:55:05 --> 00:55:06

Mountains If you're at the Smoky Mountains You

00:55:06 --> 00:55:08

look at all of that You look at

00:55:08 --> 00:55:10

that creation And you are humbled Even the

00:55:10 --> 00:55:15

most arrogant person is humbled Even the ones

00:55:15 --> 00:55:19

who are atheists Atheist hikers Who go up

00:55:19 --> 00:55:20

all the way And not believe in God

00:55:20 --> 00:55:21

And they go like Oh my God, this

00:55:21 --> 00:55:25

is so great Looks so amazing You see

00:55:25 --> 00:55:26

their Instagram videos, right?

00:55:26 --> 00:55:29

They're like This is just so gorgeous They're

00:55:29 --> 00:55:33

humbled by this sight They see That is

00:55:33 --> 00:55:37

Ilah So they're like We do not call

00:55:37 --> 00:55:39

upon anyone other than Allah as our Ilah

00:55:41 --> 00:55:45

And if we were to say Something like

00:55:45 --> 00:55:50

that لقد قلنا إذن شطط If we were

00:55:50 --> 00:55:54

to say something like that Then our statement

00:55:54 --> 00:55:56

would be so far away from the truth

00:55:56 --> 00:56:01

Okay And the word شطط Is from شطط

00:56:01 --> 00:56:04

And the Arabs They say Generally it means

00:56:05 --> 00:56:12

الإثراط في البعد الإثراط The exaggeration في البعد

00:56:12 --> 00:56:17

In distance An exaggerated distance And the Arabs

00:56:17 --> 00:56:22

used to say أشط الدار Okay This house

00:56:22 --> 00:56:28

is so far From civilization So a house

00:56:28 --> 00:56:32

that would be The countryside أشط الدار They

00:56:32 --> 00:56:34

live in like Really far away from civilization

00:56:34 --> 00:56:40

Okay Okay And the word شطط can be

00:56:40 --> 00:56:42

used for مكان It can be used for

00:56:42 --> 00:56:45

place It can be used for حكم To

00:56:45 --> 00:56:47

judgment So over there saying If we say

00:56:47 --> 00:56:50

this statement This statement Our inference is going

00:56:50 --> 00:56:53

to be so far away from the reality

00:56:54 --> 00:56:57

Okay لقد قلنا إذن شطط We would have

00:56:57 --> 00:56:59

said something That is so far away from

00:56:59 --> 00:57:11

the reality Okay All right
