Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem As-salamu alaykum

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

wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu Bismillah wa alhamdulillah wa

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

salatu wa salamu ala rasulillahi wa ba'd wa

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

abdusha rahmi sadri wa yasirili amri wa ahlu

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

lughtatan min lisani yafqahu qawli Rabbana zidna ilman

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

ya kareem Inshallah, we're going to begin.

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

As usual, what we usually do is we

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

start off with a little bit of a

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

recap.

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

So we continue with a few verses before.

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

So we're able to actually understand the concept

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

continuity of what we were discussing.

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

So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in verse

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

number 13.

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

I'm not going to recite the verses because

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

we heard the verses in the salah.

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

I'll start a few with recitation and then

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

we'll stop just due to the time.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:18

As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu Bismillah

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

wa alhamdulillahi wa barakatuhu As-salamu alaykum wa

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu Bismillah wa alhamdulillahi wa barakatuhu

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

Bismillah wa alhamdulillahi wa barakatuhu As-salamu alaykum

00:01:24 --> 00:01:28

wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu Bismillah wa alhamdulillahi wa

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

barakatuhu As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu

00:01:57 --> 00:01:58

As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu Bismillah

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

wa alhamdulillahi wa barakatuhu Bismillah wa alhamdulillahi wa

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

barakatuhu As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu

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

Bismillah wa alhamdulillahi wa barakatuhu Ho!

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

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala khayran wa alayhim

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

bi sultanin bayyin Faman azlamu minman iftara ala

00:02:12 --> 00:02:18

Allah kaziba So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:02:18 --> 00:02:21

in verse number 13 we'll start off where

00:02:21 --> 00:02:24

the narration of the story begins Allah says

00:02:25 --> 00:02:30

that نحن نقص عليك أحسن القصص We reveal

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33

unto you or narrate to you, O Prophet

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

of Allah.

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

نَقُسُّ عَلَيْكَ O Prophet of Allah, we are

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

narrating this upon you, but also vis-à

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

-vis upon us today.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

عَلَيْكَ نَبَأَهُمْ They're news.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:50

نَبَأ in the Arabic language is خَبَرٌ It's

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

a news.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

But what is the difference between خَبَر and

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54

نَبَأ؟

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

نَبَأ is a خَبَر or a news that

00:02:57 --> 00:03:01

is ذُو فَائِدَةٍ عَظِيمٌ So it's a news,

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

but it bears a lot of benefit to

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05

you.

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

As opposed to خَبَر, it could be bad,

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

it could be good, we don't really don't.

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15

So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says over

00:03:15 --> 00:03:18

here, that we relate to you the نَبَأ

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

i.e. the story that is going to

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

be narrated to you, the narration in it,

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

there is going to be a lot of

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

benefit for people.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

Okay, that's number one.

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

The word نَقُصُ We talked about it last

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

time.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33

It means to follow footsteps.

00:03:33 --> 00:03:36

قَصَّ يَقُصُ means to follow footsteps.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

And from that is also مِقَص What's a

00:03:39 --> 00:03:40

مِقَص?

00:03:41 --> 00:03:42

Scissor.

00:03:43 --> 00:03:46

What's the relationship between scissors and a story?

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

Think about it, use your brains.

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

Let's go, come on.

00:03:53 --> 00:03:54

It's 8 o'clock now, you should have

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

a rest.

00:03:57 --> 00:04:02

What's the relationship between telling a story and

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

a مِقَص or a scissor?

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

You're cutting down someone?

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

MashaAllah, you're feeling hungry or something?

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

We're cutting down someone.

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

Think about the scissors.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:24

So each blade of the scissor, it follows

00:04:24 --> 00:04:28

in an exact precise manner and there is

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

no deviations or anything.

00:04:31 --> 00:04:35

So a قِصَّ is a story that actually

00:04:35 --> 00:04:40

followed the precision of a scissor in narrating

00:04:40 --> 00:04:41

that story to you.

00:04:43 --> 00:04:47

Okay, and that's why نَقُصُ Now, obviously نَقُصُ

00:04:47 --> 00:04:50

عَلَيْكَ نَبَأَهُمْ Allah is the narrator and He's

00:04:50 --> 00:04:54

telling us a precise story, events, no exaggerations

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

in it, exactly the way they happen.

00:04:57 --> 00:05:01

But then Allah says بالحق Does Allah subhanahu

00:05:01 --> 00:05:02

wa ta'ala ever tell anything other than

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

حق?

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

Then why is Allah saying, I am telling

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

you the story, this story is going to

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

be precise and accurate and it's also going

00:05:09 --> 00:05:10

to be حق.

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

Why say this?

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

It's also going to be truth.

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

There's going to be, this is going, it's

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

going to be filled with truth.

00:05:19 --> 00:05:20

Why mention this?

00:05:26 --> 00:05:27

You want me to give you all the

00:05:27 --> 00:05:28

answers?

00:05:28 --> 00:05:28

It's not going to happen.

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

I want you guys to use your brain

00:05:30 --> 00:05:34

because remember it's reflections on surah Kahf.

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

Yeah, does it say that somewhere?

00:05:36 --> 00:05:38

Oh, they're moved in this way.

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

It was supposed to be reflections on surah.

00:05:40 --> 00:05:41

We have to reflect together.

00:05:42 --> 00:05:43

Think about it.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:48

Who, okay, so who is the one who

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

asked about this question, about the story?

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

The Jews.

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

So it's a subtle indication to them that

00:05:57 --> 00:06:01

whatever feeble and fake tales and folklore that

00:06:01 --> 00:06:02

you have and legends you have about Ashab

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

ul Kahf, as for us, o Prophet of

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

Allah says, o Prophet of Allah, we're about

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

to narrate to you their story so precisely

00:06:10 --> 00:06:13

and it is the version that is the

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

true version.

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

The versions they have is not the true

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

version.

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

So this word بالحق is actually the negation

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

of their versions that you don't have the

00:06:22 --> 00:06:25

حق about their story.

00:06:25 --> 00:06:26

This is the حق.

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

This is the truth, what is about to

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

come.

00:06:29 --> 00:06:30

Is that making sense for everyone?

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

Good.

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

So occasionally I'm going to ask this, just

00:06:33 --> 00:06:34

nod, right?

00:06:34 --> 00:06:36

Because sometimes I feel like people are either

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

thinking too much and I was like, I'm

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

like, but are you guys getting it or

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

not?

00:06:39 --> 00:06:42

Like am I like and then everyone's like

00:06:42 --> 00:06:45

and I'm sure you're thinking but like sometimes

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

I need an input.

00:06:47 --> 00:06:49

Okay, and the guys online, you guys can

00:06:49 --> 00:06:50

give a thumbs up or something.

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

Yeah, we have lots of that.

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59

We don't want to confuse people on that.

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

Yeah, we will use that which is mentioned

00:07:01 --> 00:07:02

in some of the hadiths.

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

We'll use that which Ibn Abbas has mentioned

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

because he was the Mufassir of the Quran.

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

So we'll use some of that but a

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

lot of that is fabricated.

00:07:10 --> 00:07:13

A lot of that is just exaggerated in

00:07:13 --> 00:07:14

there.

00:07:16 --> 00:07:18

Okay, but there's a lot of truth in

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

it.

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

Just so we know there is a lot

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23

of truth because it's still at the end

00:07:23 --> 00:07:24

of the day a divine book of God,

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

right?

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

It's been altered but no matter how many

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30

times they alter it, the essence of it,

00:07:30 --> 00:07:31

they can't get rid of it.

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

Like today, you know, there was a book

00:07:32 --> 00:07:33

that I was reading.

00:07:33 --> 00:07:35

So it starts off and it said, let

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

me, it says the first introduction that Allah

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

subhanahu wa'ta'ala does of himself in the

00:07:41 --> 00:07:46

Quran, sorry, in the Bible, the first introduction,

00:07:46 --> 00:07:50

the first name he introduces himself is Elohim.

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54

E-L-O-E-L-I, Elohim or

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

something like that, right?

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

Which means ilah and hum my ilah.

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

That's the word.

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04

And then if you read the description they

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06

give for that word, like if you just

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

remove that Elohim word and add Allah and

00:08:09 --> 00:08:10

then read the description, you're like, this is

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

Allah.

00:08:11 --> 00:08:13

This is exactly Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala, right?

00:08:13 --> 00:08:15

The issue happens when they come to Isa

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

a.s. And that's where they start, you

00:08:17 --> 00:08:18

know, choosing different things.

00:08:19 --> 00:08:20

Anyhow, so we try to stay away to

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

our sources, inshallah.

00:08:22 --> 00:08:25

نحن نقص عليك نبآهم بالحق إنهم فتية.

00:08:26 --> 00:08:27

Indeed, they are fitya.

00:08:28 --> 00:08:29

We talked in detail about the word fitya.

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

We're not going to go into that.

00:08:31 --> 00:08:32

Those of you that have missed it, you

00:08:32 --> 00:08:33

can go and check that out.

00:08:33 --> 00:08:35

إِنَّهُمْ فِتْيَةٌ They were a young group of

00:08:35 --> 00:08:38

people from an upper class.

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

Remember, إِنَّهُمْ فِتْيَةٌ They were from an upper

00:08:40 --> 00:08:41

class.

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

آمَنُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ They believed in their Rabb.

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48

Okay, and we alluded to this, that Allah

00:08:48 --> 00:08:51

is testifying for their Iman, that I am

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54

their Rabb, I became theirs.

00:08:55 --> 00:08:58

وَزِدْنَاهُمْ هُدًى And Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala increased

00:08:58 --> 00:08:59

them in guidance.

00:08:59 --> 00:09:01

We couldn't elaborate a little bit more on

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

this.

00:09:02 --> 00:09:03

وَزِدْنَاهُمْ هُدًى And Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala increased

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

them in guidance.

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

Somebody can ask, okay, if they already believed

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

in Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala, then what is

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

this Ziyadah?

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

What is the add-on or this addition?

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

Right?

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14

In the Tafsir books, there is a story

00:09:14 --> 00:09:15

written about this.

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

For example, Uthman r.a during his Khilafah,

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20

a person came to him and this person

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

had seen accidentally as he was walking, he

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

had seen an exposed woman that he was

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

not supposed to see.

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

Right?

00:09:30 --> 00:09:32

And obviously he did istighfar, but he felt

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

like, you know, it's not settling well for

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

him.

00:09:37 --> 00:09:40

So he went to Uthman r.a and

00:09:40 --> 00:09:42

he said to him, يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَا

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

أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَأَيْتُ مَنْظَرًا I saw something.

00:09:45 --> 00:09:48

لَا يَجُوزُ لِي أَنْ أَرَاهُ It was not

00:09:48 --> 00:09:49

permissible for me to see that.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:57

And I've done istighfar, but it's not, like

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

it's there.

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

It's like it's not leaving me.

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

So this is وَزِدْنَاهُمْ هُدًى Right?

00:10:03 --> 00:10:06

This is where when you become very close

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

to Allah SWT, you get to see things.

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

So Uthman r.a, he saw and he

00:10:11 --> 00:10:14

said, يَا فَتَىٰ O young boy, قُمْ Get

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16

up and go make wudu.

00:10:16 --> 00:10:19

For verily I see in your eyes the

00:10:19 --> 00:10:20

fire of zina.

00:10:23 --> 00:10:24

What happens?

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

This زِيادة of hidayah, that when we have

00:10:27 --> 00:10:29

iman and we have this hadith, the authentic

00:10:29 --> 00:10:30

hadith of Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, which

00:10:30 --> 00:10:31

says what?

00:10:31 --> 00:10:34

That when we start devoting ourselves to Allah

00:10:34 --> 00:10:37

SWT, voluntarily, right?

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

All of us today are here voluntarily.

00:10:41 --> 00:10:42

Nobody's obligating us to be here.

00:10:43 --> 00:10:44

Maghrib was an obligation.

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

This is a volunteer submission.

00:10:47 --> 00:10:51

When we volunteer our devotions for Allah SWT,

00:10:51 --> 00:10:54

Allah SWT says that my servant, he keeps

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

on getting closer to me.

00:10:56 --> 00:10:59

He keeps on getting closer to me, حَتَّىٰ

00:10:59 --> 00:11:02

Until he gets so close to me, حَتَّىٰ

00:11:02 --> 00:11:05

أَكُون I become the eyes with which he

00:11:05 --> 00:11:06

sees.

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08

And I become the ears with which he

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

hears.

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12

And then what Allah SWT says, And I

00:11:12 --> 00:11:14

become the tongue with which he speaks.

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

It's not that Allah is speaking through you.

00:11:16 --> 00:11:18

It's that, you know, Allah inspires you to

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20

say the right things at the right moment.

00:11:21 --> 00:11:23

When you see things, you're able to see

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

things like you see beyond what's obvious.

00:11:26 --> 00:11:29

And this is tested, right?

00:11:29 --> 00:11:30

In the past.

00:11:30 --> 00:11:34

So وَزِدْنَاهُمْ هُدَىٰ These are the effects of

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

their absolute Iman.

00:11:37 --> 00:11:40

وَزِدْنَاهُمْ هُدَىٰ The effects of their Iman leads

00:11:40 --> 00:11:42

them to further pastures of getting closer to

00:11:42 --> 00:11:43

Allah SWT.

00:11:44 --> 00:11:45

That's what وَزِدْنَاهُمْ هُدَىٰ.

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

Is that understood?

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

Okay.

00:11:48 --> 00:11:51

وَرَبَطْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ And then we sealed their

00:11:51 --> 00:11:52

heart.

00:11:52 --> 00:11:54

وَرَبَطْنَا We talked about it to tie something

00:11:54 --> 00:11:55

عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ upon their hearts.

00:11:55 --> 00:11:58

اِذْ قَامُوا When did this rapt happen?

00:11:58 --> 00:12:02

When does Allah SWT preserve your Iman when

00:12:02 --> 00:12:03

you're filled with it?

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

اِذْ قَامُوا That when we get up and

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

we do something, when we do an activity,

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

when we become activated to do something for

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

the sake of Deen.

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

اِذْ قَامُوا When they got up.

00:12:13 --> 00:12:14

What did they say?

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

The first question, فَقَالُوا They said, the first

00:12:17 --> 00:12:23

thing they said is رَبُّنَا رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ

00:12:23 --> 00:12:26

لَنَّ دْعُوَ مِنْ لُونِهِ إِلَٰهَا Our Rabb is

00:12:26 --> 00:12:30

the Rabb of the Samawat, the heavens, وَالْأَرْضِ

00:12:30 --> 00:12:31

And the earth.

00:12:31 --> 00:12:33

And we do not call upon anyone other

00:12:33 --> 00:12:36

than Allah SWT as our Ilah.

00:12:36 --> 00:12:38

And if we were to say something like

00:12:38 --> 00:12:43

that, لَقَدْ قُلْنَا إِذَاً شَطَطَةَ We would have

00:12:43 --> 00:12:45

said something that is going to be so

00:12:45 --> 00:12:49

far off from the truth.

00:12:50 --> 00:12:54

And شَطَطَ means something that has been distanced

00:12:54 --> 00:12:54

from its origin.

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57

أَشَطُّ الدَّار i.e. a house that is

00:12:57 --> 00:12:59

so far away from civilization.

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

Similarly, that statement would be so far away

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

from the reality of the truth.

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

Then Allah SWT says, هَٓا أُولَٰئِ قَوْمُنَا اتَّخَذُ

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

They are still speaking to one another.

00:13:14 --> 00:13:17

They're saying هَٓا أُولَٰئِ قَوْم There are قوم,

00:13:17 --> 00:13:18

قَوْمُنَا There are people.

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

We don't disown people just because they commit

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

sins.

00:13:22 --> 00:13:24

هَٓا أُولَٰئِ قَوْمُنَا There are people.

00:13:26 --> 00:13:30

اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهَ They have chosen

00:13:30 --> 00:13:32

or they have taken other than Allah SWT

00:13:32 --> 00:13:33

an ilah.

00:13:35 --> 00:13:39

لَوْ لَا يَأْتُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِسُلْطَانٍ بَيِّنٍ And you

00:13:39 --> 00:13:42

know, I wish that they had some, they're

00:13:42 --> 00:13:45

wishing that hope, you know, that the thing

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

that you believe in, we hope that you

00:13:47 --> 00:13:49

have some form of argument, you know, or

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51

some form of an evidence for this.

00:13:51 --> 00:13:54

سُلْطَانٍ بَيِّنٍ A clear cut evidence.

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

But you don't have that.

00:13:57 --> 00:13:59

So then they say, فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ اِفْتَرَىٰ

00:13:59 --> 00:14:03

عَلَىٰ اللَّهِ كَذِيبًا Who is more wrong in

00:14:03 --> 00:14:07

transgression than the one who attributes اِفْتَرَىٰ عَلَىٰ

00:14:07 --> 00:14:13

اللَّهِ كَذِيبًا Who attributes or who fabricates.

00:14:13 --> 00:14:19

The word اِفْتَرَىٰ is كَلَامٌ بِغَيْرِ حَقِيْقَةٍ يُقَال

00:14:19 --> 00:14:24

لِمَقْصِدٍ بَاطِلٌ It is something we utter.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:29

بِغَيْرِ حَقِيْقَةٍ It doesn't have any حقيقة.

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

It doesn't have any reality.

00:14:31 --> 00:14:34

بِمَقْصَدٍ بَاطِلٌ And what we want is we

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

want to deviate people with these statements.

00:14:37 --> 00:14:37

Okay.

00:14:38 --> 00:14:42

اِفْتَرَىٰ عَلَىٰ اللَّهِ كَذِيبًا That this statement is

00:14:42 --> 00:14:45

a fabricated statement intended to take people away

00:14:45 --> 00:14:47

from Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and it's a

00:14:47 --> 00:14:48

blatant lie.

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

Then Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says, and remember,

00:14:58 --> 00:15:02

اِعْتَزَلْتُمُوهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ When they took

00:15:02 --> 00:15:07

refuge from everything that those people used to

00:15:07 --> 00:15:09

worship, idols and all the other idols, they

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

said, let's leave this society and everything that

00:15:11 --> 00:15:13

these people worship, all of their ilahs and

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

gods and we will seclude ourselves.

00:15:16 --> 00:15:21

وَإِذِ اِعْتَزَلْتُمُوهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ And that which they

00:15:21 --> 00:15:24

worship إِلَّا اللَّهُ Other than Allah subhanahu wa'ta

00:15:24 --> 00:15:25

'ala.

00:15:25 --> 00:15:29

فَأْغُوا إِلَى الْكَهْفِ So seek refuge in the

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

cave.

00:15:30 --> 00:15:32

We talked about the difference between كهف and

00:15:32 --> 00:15:33

غاب.

00:15:33 --> 00:15:36

كهف is something مكانٌ متسعٌ It's a spacious

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

enough area in a mountain, in a cave

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

that is big enough for dwelling.

00:15:44 --> 00:15:46

And غار is something that is constricted.

00:15:47 --> 00:15:48

You can't live in it.

00:15:48 --> 00:15:50

It's a place you can enter, but it's

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

not comfortable enough to live.

00:15:58 --> 00:16:04

إِلَى الْكَهْفِ يَنْشُرْ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ Allah

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

subhanahu wa'ta'ala يَنْشُرْ لَكُمْ Allah is going

00:16:07 --> 00:16:08

to spread for you.

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

نَشْرُ الشَيْء نَشْرُ comes from نَشَرَة نُشِمْرَة نَشَرَة

00:16:15 --> 00:16:21

And نَشْرُ الشَيْء is to spread something, is

00:16:21 --> 00:16:25

to spread something after it had been, after

00:16:25 --> 00:16:26

it was collected.

00:16:26 --> 00:16:28

So يَنْشُرْ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ That Allah's

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

rahmah was descending, but now Allah has allowed

00:16:32 --> 00:16:34

that rahmah to be spread upon them.

00:16:35 --> 00:16:39

يَنْشُرْ لَكُمْ مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ يَنْشُرْ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ يُرَّبْ

00:16:39 --> 00:16:41

مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ From His mercy.

00:16:42 --> 00:16:45

وَيُهَيِّئْ لَكُمْ And Allah will prepare for you,

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

facilitate for you.

00:16:47 --> 00:16:50

لَكُمْ مِنْ أَمْرِكُمْ From your affairs.

00:16:51 --> 00:16:56

مِرْفَقًا مِرْفَقًا مِرْفَقًا is ease.

00:16:56 --> 00:17:02

The word مِرْفَقًا or مِرْفَقْ Or the Arabs

00:17:02 --> 00:17:07

used to say مَرَافِقْ مَرَافِقْ Used to be

00:17:07 --> 00:17:08

in every masjid.

00:17:08 --> 00:17:11

There used to be an annex.

00:17:12 --> 00:17:16

That annex used to be called مَرَافِقْ And

00:17:16 --> 00:17:20

the purpose was these are additional services that

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

the masjid would provide.

00:17:23 --> 00:17:28

And specifically مَرَافِقْ or مِرْفَقْ used to be

00:17:28 --> 00:17:29

hospitality areas.

00:17:31 --> 00:17:33

Where hospitality used to be provided.

00:17:33 --> 00:17:35

Every masjid used to have an area where

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37

if a traveler was coming they would be

00:17:37 --> 00:17:38

able to stay in a masjid.

00:17:39 --> 00:17:41

That's how Ahmad ibn Hanbal comes to a

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

masjid in the past.

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

It's a very foreign idea that Muslims have

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

to stay in a hotel.

00:17:46 --> 00:17:49

If you go to Medina, you will find

00:17:49 --> 00:17:52

that in every...

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

For example, the people from Bhopal, they had

00:17:55 --> 00:17:59

their hotel, which they had...

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

What's his name?

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

Not the emperor.

00:18:04 --> 00:18:06

Who was the person in...

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

Nawab.

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

The Nawab of Bhopal, he purchased a huge

00:18:09 --> 00:18:11

hotel in Medina.

00:18:11 --> 00:18:13

And anybody who was from Bhopal had a

00:18:13 --> 00:18:15

place to stay in Medina and a place

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

to stay in Makkah.

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

Till this day, that Bhopal hotel is still

00:18:19 --> 00:18:21

activated and it's a waqf.

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

Anybody from Bhopal can come from there and

00:18:24 --> 00:18:25

if they can prove that they were born

00:18:25 --> 00:18:27

in Bhopal, they get a free hotel.

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

Till this day.

00:18:29 --> 00:18:31

Similarly, people from Sri Lanka, they have their

00:18:31 --> 00:18:32

hotel.

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

Right?

00:18:33 --> 00:18:35

The big rich people, emperors of that time,

00:18:35 --> 00:18:36

they built that.

00:18:36 --> 00:18:39

So this concept of marafiq is almost lost.

00:18:39 --> 00:18:40

We don't have that.

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42

If a Muslim would be a traveler in

00:18:42 --> 00:18:43

a city, in the past, they would never

00:18:43 --> 00:18:45

have to stay in a hotel because Muslims

00:18:45 --> 00:18:46

would have marafiq.

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

Every Muslim house was built with an annex

00:18:49 --> 00:18:50

for people to stay.

00:18:51 --> 00:18:52

And you would come to the masjid and

00:18:52 --> 00:18:53

you'd be like, Oh, you're not going anywhere.

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

You're my Muslim brother or Muslims.

00:18:55 --> 00:18:56

You're coming to our annex.

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

Right?

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

And you know, it's something that is lost.

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

So Allah is saying that they're telling Allah

00:19:02 --> 00:19:04

subhanahu wa ta'ala and they're saying this

00:19:04 --> 00:19:06

that, you know, if we enter this cave,

00:19:06 --> 00:19:08

Allah is going to descend on us our

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

rahmah.

00:19:09 --> 00:19:11

وَيُهَيِّ لَكُم مِّنْ أَمْرِكُم مِّرْفَقًا And Allah is

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

going to facilitate all the facilities that we're

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

going to need to stay in this cave.

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

Then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, وَتَرَشَّمْسَ

00:19:21 --> 00:19:27

إِذَا طَلَعَتْ تَزَاوَرُوا عَن كَهْفِهِمْ So this is

00:19:27 --> 00:19:29

an important thing for us to understand.

00:19:29 --> 00:19:32

So I'm going to first do the translation

00:19:33 --> 00:19:35

that is the normative translation.

00:19:35 --> 00:19:37

I'll do that translation.

00:19:37 --> 00:19:39

And then I want you guys to, we

00:19:39 --> 00:19:41

will collectively think about it.

00:19:41 --> 00:19:43

What this actually means.

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

And then I'll show you a video about

00:19:45 --> 00:19:46

what it actually means.

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

Okay?

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

Right?

00:19:48 --> 00:19:51

Again, so it took a long while for

00:19:51 --> 00:19:52

me to get to this.

00:19:52 --> 00:19:53

And this is different than what you guys

00:19:53 --> 00:19:55

heard before.

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

Very different.

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

Okay?

00:19:58 --> 00:20:01

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, وَتَرَشَّمْسَ And

00:20:01 --> 00:20:03

if you were in the cave.

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

Okay?

00:20:05 --> 00:20:06

And if you were sitting in the cave

00:20:06 --> 00:20:08

and you had access to be able to

00:20:08 --> 00:20:09

see the horizon.

00:20:10 --> 00:20:11

وَتَرَشَّمْسَ You would see the sun.

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

إِذَا طَلَعَتْ When the sun would be rising.

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

تَزَاوَرُوا عَن كَهْفِهِمْ It would turn away to

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

the left.

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

So تَزَاوَرُ means زَارَ يَزُورُ means To deviate.

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

Right?

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

What do you call a visitor in Arabic?

00:20:31 --> 00:20:33

زائر Why do you call him a زائر?

00:20:36 --> 00:20:40

He deviated from his home destination to come

00:20:40 --> 00:20:40

to your house.

00:20:42 --> 00:20:43

زيارة in Urdu.

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

Right?

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

That I deviated from my original intended destination

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

of my home and I came to visit

00:20:51 --> 00:20:52

you.

00:20:52 --> 00:20:53

Okay?

00:20:53 --> 00:20:54

That's called زيارة.

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

So Allah is saying that if you were

00:20:56 --> 00:20:58

to see the sun rising and this is

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

the east.

00:20:58 --> 00:21:00

Obviously, you'd be able to see the sun

00:21:00 --> 00:21:01

rising in the east.

00:21:02 --> 00:21:05

وَتَرَشَّمْسَ إِذَا طَلَعَتْ Because the only way you'll

00:21:05 --> 00:21:06

be able to see the sun is in

00:21:06 --> 00:21:07

the east.

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

You're not facing the west.

00:21:09 --> 00:21:10

So you're facing the east.

00:21:11 --> 00:21:14

And when the sun is rising, you're going

00:21:14 --> 00:21:15

to be able to see that the sun

00:21:15 --> 00:21:19

doesn't rise like this and sets in the

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

west.

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

The sun is rising and it's going like

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

this.

00:21:23 --> 00:21:26

تَزَاوَرُوا عَنْ كَهْفِهِمْ So as soon as it

00:21:26 --> 00:21:28

comes, the light is not coming in the

00:21:28 --> 00:21:29

cave and the sun would twist.

00:21:29 --> 00:21:33

It would deviate its direction of the original

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

path.

00:21:34 --> 00:21:38

تَزَاوَرُوا عَنْ كَهْفِهِمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ Towards the right.

00:21:38 --> 00:21:41

وَإِذَا غَرَبَتْ Now it's about to set.

00:21:43 --> 00:21:49

وَإِذَا غَرَبَتْ Instead of going like this, as

00:21:49 --> 00:21:50

soon as it crosses the 12 o'clock

00:21:50 --> 00:21:53

mark or the zenith mark, then instead of

00:21:53 --> 00:21:55

going back to its destination, it would also

00:21:55 --> 00:21:57

deviate away from the west.

00:21:58 --> 00:22:01

Like it would turn away into the west

00:22:01 --> 00:22:03

rather than coming straight into the west.

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

Are you guys understanding that part?

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

Good.

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

So the sun, generally, if you're closer to

00:22:09 --> 00:22:11

the equator, like Atlanta and stuff like that,

00:22:11 --> 00:22:12

the sun is going to go like this.

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

And winter and sun, the sun might go

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

like this or it might go like this.

00:22:19 --> 00:22:21

But it's pretty obvious that you're going to

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

see like a 12 o'clock and you're

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

going to see it.

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

Okay.

00:22:25 --> 00:22:27

وَإِذَا غَرَبَتْ And when the sun would set,

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

I'm going to pull the muscle or something.

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

I was just like, what's going on?

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

وَإِذَا غَرَبَتْ That when the sun would set,

00:22:38 --> 00:22:42

تَقْرِضُهُمْ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ It would deviate away, it

00:22:42 --> 00:22:44

would cut away towards the western side.

00:22:45 --> 00:22:51

وَهُمْ فِي فَجْوَةٍ مِّنْهُ And they were in

00:22:51 --> 00:22:57

a gap, an opening in between these turnings,

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

in between these deviations.

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

Okay.

00:23:03 --> 00:23:04

So now you have to understand what is

00:23:04 --> 00:23:05

happening.

00:23:07 --> 00:23:09

And then Allah is like, ذَٰرِكَ مِنْ آيَاتِ

00:23:09 --> 00:23:13

اللَّهِ This is one of the ayaat, one

00:23:13 --> 00:23:15

of the signs of Allah subhanahu wa ta

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

'ala.

00:23:15 --> 00:23:17

It was not just a normal sunrise and

00:23:17 --> 00:23:18

sunset.

00:23:19 --> 00:23:21

It's something which is like, if it was

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

not ayaat, if it was not something strange,

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

there's no point.

00:23:26 --> 00:23:27

Sun is rising.

00:23:27 --> 00:23:30

Allah is like, ذَٰلِكَ This deviation of left

00:23:30 --> 00:23:33

and right was ayaat, it is from the

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

signs of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:23:35 --> 00:23:38

ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ مَنْ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ So

00:23:38 --> 00:23:43

ever Allah guides, فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدُ He is the

00:23:43 --> 00:23:44

one who is guided.

00:23:45 --> 00:23:48

وَمَنْ يُضْلِلُ And whoever is misguided, فَلَنْ تَجِيدَ

00:23:48 --> 00:23:50

لَهُ So you are not going to find

00:23:50 --> 00:23:55

for him وَلِيَّنْ A close friend.

00:23:56 --> 00:23:58

مُرْشِدًا A mentor.

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

We're going to talk about these words too

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

inshallah.

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

Okay.

00:24:01 --> 00:24:02

Now let's try to explain this.

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

So you are facing the cave.

00:24:10 --> 00:24:13

So if you understand this, the sun is

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

deviating from, so it's rising, and it's not

00:24:17 --> 00:24:19

going up like this in whichever path it's

00:24:19 --> 00:24:20

coming, it's deviating.

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

And then eventually it reaches the top point,

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

and then it doesn't go back to its

00:24:25 --> 00:24:28

western position, then it deviates into the west.

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

Okay.

00:24:29 --> 00:24:32

So what is happening is there, so you

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

are facing which direction now?

00:24:35 --> 00:24:36

You're not facing east.

00:24:37 --> 00:24:39

And you're not facing west.

00:24:40 --> 00:24:40

Where are you facing?

00:24:44 --> 00:24:45

You're in the cave.

00:24:46 --> 00:24:48

Yeah, إِذَا طَلَعَ So if you were to

00:24:48 --> 00:24:52

look facing, طَلَع is like you're facing the

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

sun.

00:24:52 --> 00:24:53

So you have to be in the cave.

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

Right?

00:24:55 --> 00:24:56

Because from the cave, you will not be

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

able to see the sunrise, because it's going

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

to be a mountain.

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

So you have to be in the cave.

00:25:02 --> 00:25:04

And the sun can, so there's three possibilities.

00:25:05 --> 00:25:06

The sun can be you're facing east.

00:25:07 --> 00:25:08

But if you're facing east, you're not going

00:25:08 --> 00:25:09

to be able to see the west.

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

Right?

00:25:13 --> 00:25:15

It's saying that you'll be able to see

00:25:15 --> 00:25:16

it setting in the west, deviating in the

00:25:16 --> 00:25:17

west.

00:25:17 --> 00:25:19

But if you're facing east, no matter whatever

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

happens, the sun is firstly never going to

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

set in east, because if it's twisting, you

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

will not be able to see, because you're

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

facing the east.

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

So you're facing a direction, where you're able

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

to see the sunrise, you're able to see

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

sunset.

00:25:32 --> 00:25:35

And in both cases, the sun is not

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

going like this.

00:25:35 --> 00:25:38

The sun is going like this.

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

And you're able to see the peripheral corners

00:25:42 --> 00:25:43

of east and west.

00:25:44 --> 00:25:46

But they're not initiated, because in winter time,

00:25:46 --> 00:25:47

they get closer.

00:25:47 --> 00:25:49

They don't start from east, exact east.

00:25:49 --> 00:25:51

They get closer to the earth, because of

00:25:51 --> 00:25:52

the convexity.

00:25:52 --> 00:25:54

So where do you think this is happening,

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

this place?

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

Or where can you have this phenomenon?

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

Or south?

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

North or south?

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

North or south?

00:26:04 --> 00:26:04

Okay.

00:26:04 --> 00:26:07

Now, I stayed in a city.

00:26:08 --> 00:26:10

It was called City of Cold Lake in

00:26:10 --> 00:26:11

Canada.

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

I had a very interesting experience.

00:26:13 --> 00:26:17

In City of Cold Lake in Canada, there's

00:26:17 --> 00:26:22

long days, but the sun never sets in

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

June and July.

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

So here's me, I'm there for some work,

00:26:27 --> 00:26:31

beautiful city, like lovely scenery, and all it's

00:26:31 --> 00:26:36

in the Rockies, Alberta Rockies, beautiful, and clear

00:26:36 --> 00:26:37

lakes, and it's just phenomenal.

00:26:38 --> 00:26:41

And the sun, so I finished work five

00:26:41 --> 00:26:44

o'clock, come home, I pray Asr, I

00:26:44 --> 00:26:46

pray Zuhr and Asr, and then I'm waiting

00:26:46 --> 00:26:47

for Maghrib.

00:26:47 --> 00:26:51

Usually in Edmonton, which was three hours down,

00:26:51 --> 00:26:54

Edmonton, you get Maghrib sometimes at like 9

00:26:54 --> 00:26:55

.45, 10.

00:26:56 --> 00:27:00

Isha is like 11.30. 11.30, sometimes

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

like 11.45, and Jama'a is at

00:27:02 --> 00:27:04

12 o'clock, and Fajr is at 2

00:27:04 --> 00:27:09

.30 a.m. 2.30, like by 3

00:27:09 --> 00:27:12

.30 there is sun, like I remember that

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

during summertime, you would not see the sunset

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

or sun, like it was just like you

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

pray Isha, and then, and a lot of

00:27:17 --> 00:27:19

the people, they follow the fatwa, that they're

00:27:19 --> 00:27:20

just going to do Jama'a, because they

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

have work, so they will pray Maghrib, Isha

00:27:21 --> 00:27:22

together, they go to sleep.

00:27:23 --> 00:27:24

Right, and then they'll just wake up for

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

Fajr, and then go back to sleep, because

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

there's still five hours left for your work.

00:27:28 --> 00:27:31

Right, and in the winter time, you never,

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

I would never see, like I would leave

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

my home in darkness, and I would return

00:27:36 --> 00:27:41

in darkness, because I would pray Fajr, at

00:27:41 --> 00:27:46

my work at 9.15, like I would

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

go to work, I would have worked, I

00:27:47 --> 00:27:49

would start work at 7, I would have

00:27:49 --> 00:27:50

worked for like good hour, and one hour,

00:27:50 --> 00:27:52

45 minutes, and then I would go down,

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

make wudu, 8.45, like I would pray

00:27:54 --> 00:27:58

around that time, and then, from there, until

00:27:58 --> 00:28:00

the time I come back, all the Salahs,

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

I pray at work, like Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib,

00:28:03 --> 00:28:05

Isha, and then Isha, you come home, like,

00:28:05 --> 00:28:09

and I would leave the office, and everything

00:28:09 --> 00:28:12

was dark, I would arrive at dark, and

00:28:12 --> 00:28:14

I would leave at dark, in cold lake,

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

what happens, so I didn't know that, there

00:28:16 --> 00:28:19

was no sunrise and sunset, only in July,

00:28:19 --> 00:28:24

June, July, so I'm waiting for Maghrib, and

00:28:24 --> 00:28:25

then I'm like, I'm like, I have my

00:28:25 --> 00:28:27

window, I'm in the hotel, I see the

00:28:27 --> 00:28:31

sun, and the sun is like, I'm like

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

okay, it's gonna go, and then the sun

00:28:33 --> 00:28:34

is like, it's not going down, it's like,

00:28:35 --> 00:28:38

and then it starts going like this, like

00:28:38 --> 00:28:39

what is going on, why is the sun

00:28:39 --> 00:28:42

moving this way, and like the first time

00:28:42 --> 00:28:43

you see it, you feel like Qiyamah is

00:28:43 --> 00:28:48

happening, you're like, this is going to the

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

west, it's gonna rise, Qiyamah is happening, I

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

seek refuge with Allah, you see that the

00:28:53 --> 00:28:55

first time, you're like, what is going on,

00:28:55 --> 00:28:58

and it just goes like this, and then

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

SubhanAllah, so I had like, you know, like

00:29:01 --> 00:29:03

I was with my director, so you know,

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

I got a penthouse, so they give us

00:29:05 --> 00:29:08

like big, otherwise I don't get upgraded, he's

00:29:08 --> 00:29:09

like, oh you're here with Ken Shelton, okay

00:29:09 --> 00:29:11

we'll upgrade you too, so I was a

00:29:11 --> 00:29:12

miskeen, who got upgraded back in the day,

00:29:13 --> 00:29:15

I was just like an associate, and then

00:29:15 --> 00:29:17

we're in like the top, and then I

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

see the sun go like this, and then

00:29:20 --> 00:29:24

it just rise, so around 1.45, it's

00:29:24 --> 00:29:27

like, I'm like, ya Akhi, the sun, I

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

need to pray Maghrib, and this is not

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

Google days, you can't Google it, you can't

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

ask chat GPT, what is going on, right,

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

so I was like, what do I do,

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

so the only person I can think of,

00:29:37 --> 00:29:39

is one Sheikh I knew, so I messaged

00:29:39 --> 00:29:43

him, and you know, luckily he responded, and

00:29:43 --> 00:29:48

it was his Tahajjud time in Toronto, right,

00:29:48 --> 00:29:49

so he was like up for Tahajjud, so

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

he responded, he said, okay if you don't

00:29:51 --> 00:29:53

have any Alama, if you don't have any

00:29:53 --> 00:29:55

proper sunsights, go to the closest city time,

00:29:56 --> 00:29:57

so you know, we had that prayer time

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

app, or something at that time, on an

00:29:59 --> 00:30:01

HP iPad, or something like that, that used

00:30:01 --> 00:30:03

to be called, and then I downloaded that

00:30:03 --> 00:30:05

thing, oh the closest thing is Edmonton, so

00:30:05 --> 00:30:07

I know Maghrib time, so I prayed Maghrib

00:30:07 --> 00:30:08

Isha, I went to sleep, same thing, I

00:30:08 --> 00:30:12

estimated my Fajr, so that's what happens, so

00:30:12 --> 00:30:14

over here, what is happening, is this phenomenon,

00:30:15 --> 00:30:16

I'll show you the video, and then you

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

guys will understand, okay, now this

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

is not a video, of a full sunrise

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

and sunset, but you will understand, what I'm

00:30:34 --> 00:30:40

trying to say, if I can, cast, yes,

00:30:40 --> 00:30:52

yes, cast, hmm, I

00:30:52 --> 00:30:53

said, do you have to do something from

00:30:53 --> 00:31:03

there, oh it's working, okay, so

00:31:03 --> 00:31:10

you see the sun, so imagine, this is

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

not a picture of full sunset, so imagine

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

if this went completely down, and then notice

00:31:15 --> 00:31:19

how, so it's actually, it's not rising, it's

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

going to the right, to the left, right,

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

so when you would be in the cave,

00:31:24 --> 00:31:27

you would be able to see this, right,

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

so you are probably facing where, either north

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

or south, where you're able to see this,

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

because, and they're facing in a manner, that

00:31:34 --> 00:31:36

you're able to see, and then it's so

00:31:36 --> 00:31:38

obvious, that it's like, it's not rising, it

00:31:38 --> 00:31:43

goes left, and then it goes right, okay,

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

and like, this is what the ayah was

00:31:45 --> 00:31:49

talking about, the whole time, right, now you

00:31:49 --> 00:31:52

can say, okay, why have many of our

00:31:52 --> 00:31:55

mufassiruns, not mentioned this, or, how do I

00:31:55 --> 00:32:02

stop this, cast, stop, okay, right, and the

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

reality is, they probably didn't have the knowledge,

00:32:04 --> 00:32:06

of the spheres at that time, you know,

00:32:06 --> 00:32:07

they didn't have the knowledge of spheres, and

00:32:07 --> 00:32:10

even some of the mufassiruns, that are, today,

00:32:11 --> 00:32:14

like when I was studying classical studies, I

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

would ask questions, that they had never heard

00:32:16 --> 00:32:19

of, so we were, we were doing fiqh,

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

and we were doing the chapter of dealings,

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

and kitab al bay'ah, so there is

00:32:24 --> 00:32:26

something called gharar, which means that, there is

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

a harm for you, as a seller, there

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

is a harm, so there is a trade,

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

in which there is a, intrinsic harm, that

00:32:34 --> 00:32:36

comes to the seller, okay, that means we

00:32:36 --> 00:32:39

have to know, the exact amount, that I'm

00:32:39 --> 00:32:41

paying, for the exact weight, for the product,

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

and that's, that's the only time, the product

00:32:43 --> 00:32:46

becomes halal, from our vegetables, okay, we can't

00:32:46 --> 00:32:49

just estimate, for avocados, for two dollars, and

00:32:49 --> 00:32:51

seven, for eight dollars, there is an element

00:32:51 --> 00:32:54

of nuqsan, for the, the one buying, and

00:32:54 --> 00:32:57

there's also an element of nuqsan, or a

00:32:57 --> 00:33:00

problem can happen, for the one purchasing, or

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

selling, so I told him, an example of

00:33:03 --> 00:33:04

what happens in Canada, and he was so

00:33:04 --> 00:33:06

shocked, he was like, I asked you, we

00:33:06 --> 00:33:08

own kitha, I told him, I was like,

00:33:08 --> 00:33:10

we go to strawberry farms, we eat as

00:33:10 --> 00:33:12

many strawberries, as we want in Canada, and

00:33:12 --> 00:33:14

you fill the entire basket up, and you

00:33:14 --> 00:33:17

pay like 14 dollars, for like a big

00:33:17 --> 00:33:20

basket of strawberries, so he, they never believe,

00:33:20 --> 00:33:22

like the scholars couldn't believe, that there was

00:33:22 --> 00:33:25

a transaction like that, that existed, why is

00:33:25 --> 00:33:27

this happening, because the, the strawberry farmer, has

00:33:27 --> 00:33:29

already sold his primary, he's already made his

00:33:29 --> 00:33:32

money, by selling the prime crop, to all

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

the big vendors, this is the surplus crop,

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

that he's just making, whatever cash he can

00:33:37 --> 00:33:40

make, he's not interested in this crop, so

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

he's like, yeah, come eat it, because otherwise,

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

the birds are going to eat anyways, enjoy

00:33:43 --> 00:33:45

your kids, and it becomes like a, a

00:33:45 --> 00:33:48

tourist attraction for him, and he's able to,

00:33:48 --> 00:33:50

you know, put his name on the map,

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

saying that I'm a tourist attraction, pick your

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

own strawberry, and eat, and stuff like that,

00:33:54 --> 00:33:55

and there's other benefits, that he gets out

00:33:55 --> 00:33:58

of that, so a lot of times, you

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

know, the scholars, who are writing these things,

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

they have to be explained things, like there

00:34:01 --> 00:34:02

has to be a student, that tells them,

00:34:03 --> 00:34:05

that this phenomenon that happened, now, I'm going

00:34:05 --> 00:34:06

to be meeting somebody, who's an expert of

00:34:06 --> 00:34:09

tafsir, I'll present this theory, this is my

00:34:09 --> 00:34:10

theory, by the way, this is not something,

00:34:11 --> 00:34:12

I read somewhere, I heard, this is like

00:34:12 --> 00:34:14

after, and this is different, from what you

00:34:14 --> 00:34:17

guys heard before, okay, so this applies more

00:34:17 --> 00:34:20

accurately, that they could be either, facing north

00:34:20 --> 00:34:22

or south, where you're able to see the

00:34:22 --> 00:34:25

sun, go down like that, and if this

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

is the actual video, so you're able to

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

see, the inflection point of the sunset, and

00:34:32 --> 00:34:35

you're seeing the sun, coming down, and you're

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

seeing the sun, rising out, and that's where

00:34:37 --> 00:34:42

they're facing, so all these theories of, this

00:34:42 --> 00:34:45

being in Jordan, or in Turkey, doesn't work,

00:34:47 --> 00:34:51

because sunrise and sunset, of that abnormal nature,

00:34:52 --> 00:34:56

would have been visible, to anybody, that was

00:34:56 --> 00:34:59

living there, for 300 years, this was happening,

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

and nobody noticed about this, anomaly of sunrise

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

and sunset, right, so then that makes, a

00:35:05 --> 00:35:06

lot sense to us, that this was a

00:35:06 --> 00:35:09

place, that took place somewhere, like in the

00:35:09 --> 00:35:11

northern areas, or in the southern areas, and

00:35:11 --> 00:35:13

that's why we're now discovering, as this ice

00:35:13 --> 00:35:17

is melting, signs of civilization, things, we're getting

00:35:17 --> 00:35:20

these hieroglyphics, on stones, and artifacts, that they're,

00:35:21 --> 00:35:23

oh my god, there's an entire civilization, that

00:35:23 --> 00:35:24

was there in the south, what were they,

00:35:24 --> 00:35:27

who were they, Allah knows, right, so this

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

is what I think, this ayah is talking

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

about, now let's read the ayah again, this

00:35:30 --> 00:35:32

time visualize everything, that I've talked to you,

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

وَتَرَى الشَّمْسَ and if you were in the

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

cave, وَتَرَى الشَّمْسَ you would be able to

00:35:37 --> 00:35:39

see the sun, إِذَا تَلَعَتْ when the sun

00:35:39 --> 00:35:43

would rise, تَزَاوَرُوا أَن كَهْفِهِمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ the

00:35:43 --> 00:35:46

sun would deviate, to the right, as it's

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

rising, so it would rise, and it would

00:35:48 --> 00:35:49

just go like this, and then it would

00:35:49 --> 00:35:52

disappear, وَإِذَا غَرَبَتْ at the time of the

00:35:52 --> 00:35:57

sunset, the sun would come down, and you

00:35:57 --> 00:35:59

would see, تَقْرِطُهُمْ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ it would deviate,

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

and start turning down, back to the point

00:36:02 --> 00:36:06

where it came from, ذَلِكَ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ

00:36:06 --> 00:36:08

this is from the signs of Allah SWT,

00:36:09 --> 00:36:13

مَنْ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدُ whosoever Allah guides,

00:36:16 --> 00:36:19

for verily He is the guided, وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ

00:36:19 --> 00:36:24

and whosoever Allah misguides, فَلَنْ تَجِيدَ لَهُ وَلِيًّا

00:36:24 --> 00:36:28

you're not going to find any wali for

00:36:28 --> 00:36:33

Him, and neither a murshid, neither a person

00:36:33 --> 00:36:41

who guides, رُشْد is different, so there's various

00:36:41 --> 00:36:43

words in the Quran that comes to describe

00:36:43 --> 00:36:47

the word رُشْد, and رُشْد is the ability

00:36:47 --> 00:36:51

of, an intrinsic ability of a person, after

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

they recognize Allah SWT to differentiate between right

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

and wrong.

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

What does Allah SWT say about Ibrahim A

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

.S.? وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ رُشْدَهُ Ibrahim A.S.

00:37:06 --> 00:37:08

was given this ability to see right from

00:37:08 --> 00:37:09

wrong day one.

00:37:11 --> 00:37:11

Right?

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

أُفِّلْ لَكُمَا وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ What are these things

00:37:15 --> 00:37:16

you're worshipping?

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

Right?

00:37:18 --> 00:37:20

Why do you worship that that does not

00:37:20 --> 00:37:21

speak?

00:37:22 --> 00:37:25

فَسَأَلْهُمْ كَبِيرُهُمْ All of this was what?

00:37:25 --> 00:37:26

Before wahi.

00:37:27 --> 00:37:31

So رُشْد is this experience that Allah SWT

00:37:31 --> 00:37:33

can place in a heart of an individual

00:37:34 --> 00:37:36

for him to be able to see right

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

from wrong.

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

And that's why Allah is saying, مَن يَهْدِ

00:37:40 --> 00:37:43

اللَّهِ So this guidance comes from Allah SWT.

00:37:43 --> 00:37:47

If Allah chooses to guide you, فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدُ

00:37:47 --> 00:37:48

that person is going to be guided.

00:37:48 --> 00:37:51

Nobody would be able to misguide that person

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

ever.

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

May Allah grant us that guidance.

00:37:54 --> 00:37:56

وَمَن يُذْلِلُ But if Allah chooses to misguide

00:37:56 --> 00:38:01

us, فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُ وَرِيًّا You're not going

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

to be able to find any friend of

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

that person.

00:38:05 --> 00:38:06

i.e. why a friend over here?

00:38:07 --> 00:38:13

Because الْمَرْءُ عَلَىٰ دِينِ خَلِيلِهِ A person is

00:38:13 --> 00:38:16

on the way of or the deen of

00:38:16 --> 00:38:17

your friend.

00:38:17 --> 00:38:20

Whoever you hang out with, that person is

00:38:20 --> 00:38:23

going to have a huge impact on you.

00:38:23 --> 00:38:30

The Arabs, they usually say الصَّاحِبُ صاحب صاحب,

00:38:30 --> 00:38:33

a companion is صاحب with the scene.

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

i.e. he pulls you in his direction.

00:38:37 --> 00:38:41

That's why you'll find all the people that

00:38:41 --> 00:38:44

are common things that are between them.

00:38:44 --> 00:38:46

They will all hang out together.

00:38:46 --> 00:38:48

All the people, they'll have like a little

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

WhatsApp group.

00:38:49 --> 00:38:52

We're playing this game, pickleball on this day.

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

And we have badminton on this day.

00:38:55 --> 00:38:59

صاحب Now, once your friend picks up something

00:38:59 --> 00:39:00

else, and they're like, Hey man, you got

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

to try this pickleball thing out.

00:39:02 --> 00:39:04

Then you go there and now you're part

00:39:04 --> 00:39:05

of pickleball and you're learning all the spins

00:39:05 --> 00:39:07

and curves that you need to do.

00:39:07 --> 00:39:08

All the interesting things.

00:39:10 --> 00:39:13

And likewise, badminton for many of us here.

00:39:14 --> 00:39:17

It's like badminton on Sunday.

00:39:17 --> 00:39:18

They're all afraid of me so much in

00:39:18 --> 00:39:20

badminton, never invite me.

00:39:20 --> 00:39:22

So I played once with them.

00:39:23 --> 00:39:25

And I, you know, you were not there,

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

right?

00:39:26 --> 00:39:27

Oh, you got defeated very badly.

00:39:27 --> 00:39:28

I remember.

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

Alhamdulillah.

00:39:29 --> 00:39:32

Yeah, the score was like, it was pretty

00:39:32 --> 00:39:33

bad.

00:39:33 --> 00:39:34

It was 21-5 or something.

00:39:34 --> 00:39:36

And these were the good crowd.

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

So I was like, I'm not even coming

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

to play with you guys anymore.

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

It's two.

00:39:41 --> 00:39:42

So anyhow.

00:39:42 --> 00:39:44

And that tells you, I'm not their friend

00:39:44 --> 00:39:45

anymore.

00:39:49 --> 00:39:54

وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ أَيْقَاضًا وَهُمْ رُقُودٌ This is beautiful.

00:39:55 --> 00:39:57

Now Allah is giving you another image of

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

how they were.

00:39:57 --> 00:40:00

So first images, you understand the environment.

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

They were in a cave.

00:40:02 --> 00:40:02

They were sleeping.

00:40:03 --> 00:40:06

And because of this angular sun coming in

00:40:06 --> 00:40:07

and coming out.

00:40:08 --> 00:40:10

وَهُمْ فِي فَجْوَةٍ مِّنَ I forgot to mention

00:40:10 --> 00:40:10

this part.

00:40:10 --> 00:40:13

وَهُمْ فِي فَجْوَةٍ مِّنَ When the light comes

00:40:13 --> 00:40:14

at an angle.

00:40:14 --> 00:40:17

So it is coming at an angle and

00:40:17 --> 00:40:18

it is coming at an angle from here.

00:40:18 --> 00:40:20

It is causing a V.

00:40:21 --> 00:40:23

A light is causing a V in the

00:40:23 --> 00:40:24

cave.

00:40:24 --> 00:40:27

Okay, because it's not coming directly like this.

00:40:27 --> 00:40:28

It is coming at an angle.

00:40:29 --> 00:40:31

So the light is coming over here and

00:40:31 --> 00:40:32

another light is coming here.

00:40:32 --> 00:40:36

And it is causing a triangle, a triangle

00:40:36 --> 00:40:37

of dark space.

00:40:38 --> 00:40:41

So Allah is like, as they were in

00:40:41 --> 00:40:44

the cave, the sun was coming in.

00:40:44 --> 00:40:46

The light was coming on this side, but

00:40:46 --> 00:40:47

this was empty.

00:40:47 --> 00:40:49

And then the light was coming on this

00:40:49 --> 00:40:52

side and they are, وَهُمْ And they were,

00:40:53 --> 00:40:56

فَجْوَةٍ مِّنْهُ They were in the gap that

00:40:56 --> 00:40:58

the sunlight had created.

00:40:58 --> 00:41:00

They were sleeping in between or they were

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

lying down or standing.

00:41:01 --> 00:41:02

We'll talk about that later.

00:41:02 --> 00:41:06

But they were in that gap that was

00:41:06 --> 00:41:07

being formed because of the light.

00:41:07 --> 00:41:09

Is that clear for everyone?

00:41:09 --> 00:41:11

So, وَهُمْ فِي فَجْوَةٍ مِّنْهُ What does it

00:41:11 --> 00:41:12

mean?

00:41:12 --> 00:41:13

They're in that gap, the gap that the

00:41:13 --> 00:41:16

light had created because of this, the variance

00:41:16 --> 00:41:17

of the sun.

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

Yes.

00:41:21 --> 00:41:24

Oh, I exposed too much.

00:41:25 --> 00:41:26

We will talk about that.

00:41:26 --> 00:41:29

So Allah says, It is creepy.

00:41:29 --> 00:41:30

It's coming right now.

00:41:33 --> 00:41:35

وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ Allah is like, And if you were

00:41:35 --> 00:41:40

to enter the cave, تَحْسَبُهُمْ You would see

00:41:40 --> 00:41:44

them, أَيْقَابًا You would see them sitting.

00:41:44 --> 00:41:46

So for example, if we all turn to

00:41:46 --> 00:41:48

Asad right now, if you all look at

00:41:48 --> 00:41:51

Asad, we all know that he's awake, right?

00:41:51 --> 00:41:52

He's not sleeping.

00:41:53 --> 00:41:55

We all know that he's awake, right?

00:41:55 --> 00:41:57

By looking from this far, we'd be able

00:41:57 --> 00:41:59

to say, he's awake.

00:41:59 --> 00:42:00

So Allah is like, if you were to

00:42:00 --> 00:42:03

look at them from the cave, now you're

00:42:03 --> 00:42:04

looking at them.

00:42:04 --> 00:42:06

So now you're not looking from their vantage

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

point.

00:42:06 --> 00:42:07

You are now looking at them.

00:42:08 --> 00:42:09

If you were to look at them, you

00:42:09 --> 00:42:10

would see them that they're awake.

00:42:13 --> 00:42:16

وَهُمْ رُقُودُ And they are sleeping.

00:42:17 --> 00:42:23

And then Allah is like, وَنُقَلِّبُهُمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ

00:42:23 --> 00:42:26

وَذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ Where was the sun coming out

00:42:26 --> 00:42:27

from?

00:42:27 --> 00:42:32

وَإِذَا طَلَعَتْ تَزَاوَرُ وَإِن كَانَ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَإِذَا

00:42:32 --> 00:42:37

غَرَبَتْ تَقْلِبُ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ Okay?

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

So there's a lot of things happening in

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

this ayah that sometimes we just overlook.

00:42:43 --> 00:42:45

Allah is like, وَنُقَلِّبُهُمْ And we would turn

00:42:45 --> 00:42:48

their faces towards the rising sun and the

00:42:48 --> 00:42:51

setting sun.

00:42:51 --> 00:42:54

ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ The ayah before we just talked

00:42:54 --> 00:42:54

about it.

00:42:54 --> 00:42:57

ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ So Allah is like,

00:42:57 --> 00:43:01

وَنُقَلِّبُهُمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ وَكَلْبُهُمْ بَاسِطٌ

00:43:01 --> 00:43:05

زِرَاعَيْهِ بِالْوَصِيدِ And their dog was sitting with

00:43:05 --> 00:43:09

his paws like this, upright.

00:43:10 --> 00:43:12

No dog sleeps like this.

00:43:13 --> 00:43:13

Okay?

00:43:14 --> 00:43:17

If you know basic dog life, no dog's

00:43:17 --> 00:43:18

soul goes like this and is like, okay,

00:43:18 --> 00:43:19

time for me to sleep now.

00:43:20 --> 00:43:20

Okay?

00:43:21 --> 00:43:23

They lie down, they put their head down,

00:43:23 --> 00:43:24

they're like, you know, on the side.

00:43:25 --> 00:43:27

This is what, the dog is what?

00:43:28 --> 00:43:29

Alert.

00:43:30 --> 00:43:31

Guard position.

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

Because the other back legs are ready.

00:43:34 --> 00:43:37

If it needs to attack, it just goes.

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

وَكَلْبُهُمْ بَاسِطٌ زِرَاعَيْهِ بِالْوَصِيدِ لَوِ اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ Now,

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

if you were to see the way we

00:43:45 --> 00:43:47

all saw Asad, if you were to have

00:43:47 --> 00:43:48

a look at them, if you were to

00:43:48 --> 00:43:55

see them, لَوَلَّيْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِرَارًا You would have

00:43:55 --> 00:44:00

turned around and ran for your life.

00:44:01 --> 00:44:03

لَوَلَّيْتَ You would have turned.

00:44:04 --> 00:44:06

مِنْهُمْ From that sight and from them.

00:44:07 --> 00:44:09

فِرَارًا Running away, saving yourself.

00:44:11 --> 00:44:14

وَلَمُلِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ And your heart would have been

00:44:14 --> 00:44:16

filled with them.

00:44:17 --> 00:44:21

رُرْبًا Horror and terror would have been filled

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

in your heart.

00:44:22 --> 00:44:24

Now, what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is

00:44:24 --> 00:44:26

talking about in these ayahs, inshallah.

00:44:27 --> 00:44:29

We will talk about that next week.

00:44:29 --> 00:44:33

بِإِرْمِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى I love cliffhangers.

00:44:34 --> 00:44:35

You know, I took one drama class and

00:44:35 --> 00:44:36

I learned that one part.

00:44:37 --> 00:44:38

Alhamdulillah.

00:44:38 --> 00:44:40

So we will all connect inshallah next week.

00:44:40 --> 00:44:42

But it's very important that we understand this

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

ayah in this concept.

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

And I will give you the classical understanding.

00:44:47 --> 00:44:49

But then any understanding that I'm bringing is

00:44:49 --> 00:44:52

an understanding that is directly from the text

00:44:52 --> 00:44:52

of the Quran.

00:44:53 --> 00:44:54

I am not making it up.

00:44:55 --> 00:44:58

The word itself has that allowance in the

00:44:58 --> 00:45:00

Arabic classical language for us to be able

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

to understand this.

00:45:02 --> 00:45:05

بِإِرْمِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا

00:45:05 --> 00:45:09

مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحِبِهِ وَسَلِّمْ تَسِيمٍ كَثِيرًا وَبَارِكِ

00:45:09 --> 00:45:12

اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ

00:45:12 --> 00:45:15

عَلَى إِبْرَهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَهِيمِ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

00:45:16 --> 00:45:18

We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to

00:45:18 --> 00:45:20

grant us the ability to truly connect with

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

the message of the Quran.

00:45:21 --> 00:45:22

We ask you O Allah to make the

00:45:22 --> 00:45:25

Quran a source of guidance and hidayah for

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

us.

00:45:25 --> 00:45:26

We ask you O Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:45:26 --> 00:45:29

'ala that our hearts are filled with darknesses

00:45:29 --> 00:45:31

O Allah, O Allah we ask you to

00:45:31 --> 00:45:33

light our hearts with the nur and the

00:45:33 --> 00:45:34

hidayah of this Quran.

00:45:34 --> 00:45:35

We ask you O Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:45:35 --> 00:45:37

'ala that every single one of us is

00:45:37 --> 00:45:39

struggling with their faith and their iman on

00:45:39 --> 00:45:40

their own means.

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

And we all showed up over here to

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

learn your book and to understand your book

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

and we're not obligated to do that.

00:45:47 --> 00:45:50

O Allah, allow the nur of this Quran

00:45:50 --> 00:45:52

and the nur of this message of yours

00:45:52 --> 00:45:54

to penetrate into our hearts.

00:45:54 --> 00:45:58

O Allah ease for us ease for us

00:45:58 --> 00:46:00

all the pain and facilitate for us from

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

your Janab Rahmah from your Janab Mercy for

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

us.

00:46:05 --> 00:46:06

We ask you O Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:46:06 --> 00:46:07

'ala that each one of us we are

00:46:07 --> 00:46:09

not worthy of anything.

00:46:09 --> 00:46:11

Our actions are not worthy of anything.

00:46:11 --> 00:46:13

But yet you have allowed us to come

00:46:13 --> 00:46:14

and study your book.

00:46:14 --> 00:46:16

O Allah allow this to be a sign

00:46:16 --> 00:46:17

that you are pleased with us.

00:46:18 --> 00:46:19

O Allah allow us to be connected with

00:46:19 --> 00:46:20

your book forever.

00:46:21 --> 00:46:22

O Allah let not there be ever a

00:46:22 --> 00:46:24

disconnect between us and your kitab.

00:46:25 --> 00:46:26

We ask you O Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:46:26 --> 00:46:29

'ala that deal with us the way that

00:46:29 --> 00:46:30

you dealt with Ashabul Kahf.

00:46:30 --> 00:46:32

O Allah we are dealing with so many

00:46:32 --> 00:46:35

trials and tests and fitnas in our lives

00:46:35 --> 00:46:36

and the society that we live in and

00:46:36 --> 00:46:37

the places we work in.

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

O Allah protect our iman the way you

00:46:39 --> 00:46:41

protected the iman of Ashabul Kahf.

00:46:41 --> 00:46:44

O Allah allow us to be united together

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

and help us help one another to protect

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

and save our iman.

00:46:47 --> 00:46:50

O Allah we ask you on this day

00:46:50 --> 00:46:51

that O Allah every single one of us

00:46:51 --> 00:46:53

that has taken out time from their family

00:46:53 --> 00:46:55

from their work that Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:46:55 --> 00:46:57

'ala gives them Hidayah for every step that

00:46:57 --> 00:46:58

they took.

00:46:58 --> 00:47:00

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives them

00:47:00 --> 00:47:02

Barakah for every step that they will take

00:47:02 --> 00:47:02

back home.

00:47:02 --> 00:47:04

We ask you O Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:47:04 --> 00:47:07

'ala that do not let this day be

00:47:07 --> 00:47:08

the last day that we connect with the

00:47:08 --> 00:47:10

Quran and allow us to be in ever

00:47:10 --> 00:47:13

presence and every ever remembrance of your remembrance

00:47:13 --> 00:47:15

and fill our hearts.

00:47:15 --> 00:47:16

We ask you O Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:47:16 --> 00:47:18

'ala in this blessed month of Rabiul Awwal.

00:47:18 --> 00:47:20

We ask you O Allah this is the

00:47:20 --> 00:47:22

month in which your nabi was born that

00:47:22 --> 00:47:24

allow us to fill our hearts with his

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

love.

00:47:24 --> 00:47:26

We ask you O Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:47:26 --> 00:47:28

'ala that we have deviated away from his

00:47:28 --> 00:47:29

path.

00:47:29 --> 00:47:31

We ask you O Allah to connect us

00:47:31 --> 00:47:32

with his path and his sunnah.

00:47:32 --> 00:47:34

We ask you O Allah that this month

00:47:34 --> 00:47:36

be a month in which we connect with

00:47:36 --> 00:47:38

his way and his life and his shama

00:47:38 --> 00:47:40

'il so that we can love him and

00:47:40 --> 00:47:41

we can understand him better.

00:47:41 --> 00:47:43

We ask you Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:47:43 --> 00:47:45

to give us the ma'rifah of Muhammad

00:47:45 --> 00:47:46

sallallahu alayhi wasallam.

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

Give us the ma'rifah, the awareness of

00:47:49 --> 00:47:51

nabi Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam.

00:47:51 --> 00:47:53

A ma'rifah or an awareness of such

00:47:53 --> 00:47:55

nature that allows us to penetrate and that

00:47:55 --> 00:47:57

penetrates in our hearts and increases us in

00:47:57 --> 00:48:00

love with nabi Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam and

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

increase our love in a manner that it

00:48:02 --> 00:48:04

becomes easy for us to follow his path.

00:48:04 --> 00:48:06

O Allah, every single one of us is

00:48:06 --> 00:48:08

over here and we have all come over

00:48:08 --> 00:48:10

here humbling ourselves in front of you.

00:48:10 --> 00:48:13

O Allah, every door can be closed but

00:48:13 --> 00:48:14

your door is open for us.

00:48:14 --> 00:48:16

O Allah, we ask you on this night

00:48:16 --> 00:48:19

to allow us to be forgiven and fill

00:48:19 --> 00:48:22

our hearts with the light of forgiveness and

00:48:22 --> 00:48:24

tawbah and allow us to be able to

00:48:24 --> 00:48:27

see right from wrong and give us the

00:48:27 --> 00:48:28

hidayah and istiqamah.

00:48:28 --> 00:48:30

We ask you Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:48:30 --> 00:48:32

that whatever we learn, allow us to implement.

00:48:33 --> 00:48:36

For verily Firaun, for verily Abu Jahl and

00:48:36 --> 00:48:38

Abu Talib and all these people used to

00:48:38 --> 00:48:39

understand Qur'an better than us.

00:48:40 --> 00:48:42

O Allah, we're trying to understand this Qur

00:48:42 --> 00:48:43

'an but the maqsad of this Qur'an

00:48:43 --> 00:48:44

is that we follow it.

00:48:45 --> 00:48:47

Allow this Qur'an to penetrate in our

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

actions.

00:48:47 --> 00:48:50

Aqulu qawli hadha wa astaghfirullah hadhi walakum wa

00:48:50 --> 00:48:51

risa'il muslimeen.

00:48:51 --> 00:48:52

Fastaghfiru fa innahu alghafurur raheem.
