00:00:00 --> 00:00:07
			In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:07
			the Most Merciful.
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:18
			As for the wall, it was for him,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:01:21
			O Mary, that We
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:28
			placed it in the earth, and gave it
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:54
			to him.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:56
			Satan.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:57
			the Most Merciful.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			In the name of Allah, and all praise
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:58
			is due to Allah.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			And peace and blessings be upon the Messenger
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			of Allah and after him.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			My Lord, explain to my heart and ease
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			my affair, and solve my problem in a
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:04
			second.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			My saying is, Our Lord, increase us in
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			knowledge, O Most Generous.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:14
			So, last time, what we've done was, we
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			had stopped at the story of Khadr, and
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			the last session that we did, we had
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			a long discussion on whether Khadr, peace be
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			upon him, is he alive on this earth
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			or not, and we mentioned different opinions of
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			the scholars.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			Some of them said that, you know, the
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			majority of them said that, because of the
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			hadith of Prophet ﷺ, that he said that
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			after 100 years of my death, anybody who
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			is alive on this earth will not live.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			And then the response on the other side
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			of the scholars were that, okay, fine, but
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			what about Dajjal?
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			We know Dajjal is going to come.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			And the second response of the scholars were
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			like, well, Khadr is not from this earth.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:50
			He was on the sea.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			So, the hadith talked about people on the
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:53
			earth.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			So, Dajjal is on the sea, Khadr is
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			on the sea, so he's excluded from this
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:58
			equation.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			And then, so on and so forth, that
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			discussion goes on.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:05
			And then the discussion on what realm he
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			operates in, we had a detailed discussion on
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			that, that, you know, he is more concerned
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:12
			with the batin, how Allah ﷻ operates the
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			world, which you and I cannot understand.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			There are things that happen that we don't
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			understand.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			And then there was a discussion that we
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			said we would leave it, because that discussion
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			is necessary for us to understand Khadr, peace
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			be upon him, discussion, as well as what
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			is to come, which is Dhul Qarnayn, which
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			is that, and this is the beauty of
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			the Qur'an, right?
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			If we keep studying the Qur'an, we're
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:41
			going to get chunks of every science that
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:41
			we need to study.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			You'll get chunks of that.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			So, this portion of what I'm going to
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			discuss is part of our aqidah, right?
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			Which is what we believe in.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:53
			Which is that something that the West calls
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:56
			paranormal activities, right?
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			For us, we believe that those things can
		
00:05:59 --> 00:05:59
			take place.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:02
			And we have a name for that, which
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			is called mu'ajizat.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:07
			Mu'ajizat are things that take place at
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			the hands of the anbiya, specifically, only anbiya
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:14
			ﷺ, only the prophets, in order for them
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			to provide proofs of prophethood to the people
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:17
			that they're calling.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:22
			After the anbiya ﷺ comes a category of,
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			which is called karamat, okay?
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			These are also things that are khariq al
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:27
			-a'dah.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			These are also things that fall out of
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:33
			the normative scale of the world, the normal
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			operating system of how things work.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			And these are things that the wali or
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			the person who is so close to Allah
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:45
			ﷻ, he does not have control over.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			It's not like, oh yeah, I'm going to
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			do this karama now and it'll happen.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			So, a lot of what we see sometimes
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			where people claim that they have karama and
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			then they can bring karama at that every
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			moment, it's not.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			They don't have the control to say, okay,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			now I'm about to do a karama, all
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:01
			you guys get ready.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			It doesn't work like that.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			It is something that happens that Allah allows
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			this particular thing to happen.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:13
			So, an example of that was that we
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			were traveling with one of the scholars and
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			it was four of us.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			And we were in the car and it
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			was a pretty famous scholar in Medina.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			And we were in the car with him.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			And we wanted to go from the place
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			where we were to a place which was
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			almost an hour drive.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			Now, the person whose car we were in,
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			the window at the back, that window does
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			not go up and down.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			We all know that because we drove in
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			the car from Riyadh to Medina.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			That window doesn't come down.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:49
			So, we're in there and then the sheikh
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			is like, let me just put the window
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			down.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:54
			And he just presses the window and the
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			window goes down.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:57
			So, all of us were, because we were
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			recently studying students of knowledge, we're like, karama.
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04
			Then what happens, we stopped at the gas
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			station, whatever, people went to get stuff.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			And we went and we checked the window
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			and the window is not working.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			So, the sheikh comes back in the car
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			and we're like, sheikh, it's getting hot.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:14
			Can you roll up the window, put the
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:14
			window down?
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			We're trying to test this karama.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			And he's like, don't play with me.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			I know what you're trying to do.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			This is not a karama.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			It's a short circuit and the wire just
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			connected one time.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:29
			So, sometimes we take these little things as
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:30
			it's not.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:33
			It is something that actually falls out of
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			the normative day-to-day of life.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			And I'll give you some examples of that.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			So, how do we know these things exist?
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			Because of what happened with the sahaba.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			Now, the belief of karama, there is a
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			very big, I would say almost 50%
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			of the people that completely deny this.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			From the Sunni tradition.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			From our tradition, they say, these karama, yes,
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			happened.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:59
			All these things that happened with Umar, all
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			the things that happened with Khubaib ibn Adi.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:07
			All of these strange paranormal activities that happened.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			All of these karama, they were only for
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:10
			sahaba.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			And after sahaba, the succession of these karama
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			stopped.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			And there is a pretty big chunk of
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			scholars that also say, no, that's not true.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			They take place throughout time and they are
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24
			also taking place today.
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:25
			They can take place today.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			The probability of it is far less, but
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			it can take place today.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			The example of that.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			So, the sahabi that was in Yemen.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:39
			And, you know, this is a very famous
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42
			hadith about Prophet's narration of Umar radiAllahu anhu
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			where he said what?
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:50
			He said, praise be to Allah that Allah
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			had not taken my life until I saw
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			a person from the companions of the Prophet
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			at the level of Ibrahim alaihi salam.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			The story was that this sahabi was in
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			Yemen and he was thrown into fire.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			He stayed in fire for seven days and
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06
			he came out alive.
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			And he came back to Umar radiAllahu anhu
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			in his khilafah and told him the story.
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			And he said, praise be to Allah that
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			he didn't take my life until I saw
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			someone from the sahaba, from the ummah of
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam, at the level of
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			Ibrahim alaihi salam.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			Similarly, Khubayb ibn Adi.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:27
			When he was being, Khubayb ibn Adi and
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			the second person that was with him in
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:29
			the ambush.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			They were both ambushed right after Badr.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
			And there was an ambush.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			They were going out for a secret mission
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			and they got ambushed by the tribe.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:37
			It betrayed them.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			There were ten people.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:39
			Seven were killed.
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			Three took refuge on top of the mountain.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43
			One of them was Khubayb ibn Adi.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			I forgot the name of the third, second
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:44
			one.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			And the third one, the name is not
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			mentioned in the books.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			So these two, they had amazing karamat.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			One of them, he raised his hands and
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54
			he said, Oh Allah, akhbir nabiyyak ma fa
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			'aloo bina.
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			Oh Allah, tell your nabi what they did
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			to me.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02
			And Jibreel alaihi salam from the seventh heaven
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			came down and told Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			the entire scene of what happened.
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:11
			Then he said, this person on the mountain,
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:14
			he said, Oh Allah, ever since I became
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:18
			a Muslim, I have not allowed a kafir
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:19
			to touch my body.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			If I die today, protect my body and
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			fulfill my promise.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			I promise that I will never touch a
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			kafir and I will not allow a kafir
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			to touch me, a mushrik.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			So protect my body for me.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:35
			There was a lady by the name of
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			Sulafa bint Mahyan.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:40
			Sulafa, she was a really, really rich woman.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43
			And her three or four of her close
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			male relatives died in Badr.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:47
			So she took an oath that I, and
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			it was this person who killed all of
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			her relatives.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:52
			So she took an oath that I shall
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:57
			not take respite until I drink water in
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00
			the skull of this person.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:06
			So she gave thousand dinars, a lot of
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			money, not dinars.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			Said, anybody who can bring me the head
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			of this person, I will give them thousand
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:12
			dinars.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:14
			So this person dies.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			As soon as he dies, the karama, the
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:18
			narrator is mentioned.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			Who's the narrator of the story?
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:24
			Jibreel alaihi salam.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:30
			Jibreel alaihi salam says, Allah sent fog.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:35
			And everything, the entire place was covered with
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:35
			fog.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:36
			They could not see.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38
			So they said, we'll come back and take
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:38
			his body tomorrow.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			Nothing's going to happen.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			Anyways, it's a desert.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			There are no wild animals here.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:44
			Next day they came.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45
			They could not find him.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:49
			And his body was buried by the Indians.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:53
			Khubaib, on the other hand, he is also
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			being executed in Makkah, a public execution.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:58
			And right before, he is in the house
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:01
			of the woman that is basically the one
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:02
			who captures him.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			He was held captive in that house.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:06
			And the woman was taking care of him.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			So he says to the lady of the
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13
			house, Bring me a razor so I can
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			beautify myself to meet Allah.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			That I just want to fix my beard
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:20
			because I'm about to meet Allah.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			So she brings that blade.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:28
			And she says, when I entered, I found
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:29
			that he was eating grapes.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			People of Makkah, this is not the season
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:36
			for grapes.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:41
			And he was eating grapes while his hands
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:41
			were tied.
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			So these are karamat that happened at the
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47
			time of...
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			And the list can go on with the
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:48
			Sahaba.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:52
			Sariah, Umar radiallahu anhu is on the minbar.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:52
			He says what?
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			Ya Sariah, waraa al-jabal.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:58
			3,800 kilometers away, Sariah hears the sound
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01
			of Umar radiallahu anhu saying, Behind the mountain
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			is the enemy, be careful.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:04
			Right?
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			So these are things that Allah Subh'anaHu
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			Wa Ta-A'la is capable of doing
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			then and now.
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:09
			And these are all karamat.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:13
			These are supernatural things that can take place.
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:16
			But only at the will of Allah.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			Not at the will of the Wali.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:19
			That is very important.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			And so all that we are going to
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			study today is going to be of that
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:24
			category.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:26
			So we must understand this.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			So now the story begins.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			Remember the three questions that were asked?
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:33
			Ashab ul-Kahf.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			Yas'aluna ka'ani ar-rooh?
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:41
			And yes, Rajulun ta'afa al-mashariq al
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:42
			-ardi wa maghari biha.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			So Dhul-Qarnayn.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			So today we begin the story of Dhul
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			-Qarnayn.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:50
			The person, Dhul-Qarnayn, is he a human
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:50
			being?
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:55
			He had horns.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:57
			Okay.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			So let's talk about his name first.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			There are four aqwal of his name.
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:01
			Okay.
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			This is going to be a little bit
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			different style of tafseer because we must understand
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:05
			this.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:05
			Okay.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			I generally don't do aqwal.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			But this is going to give you appreciation
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			of the science of tafseer.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13
			Dhul-Qarnayn.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:14
			Number one.
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			Qarn is a century.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			So Dhul-Qarnayn, the one who lived in
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:19
			two centuries.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			That's one tafseer.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:25
			He lived the latter part of one century
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:26
			and then latter part.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			So all of you guys are Dhul-Qarnayn.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:28
			Right?
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:29
			According to that.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			Because you lived in the previous century.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			Hopefully.
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:33
			Some of them didn't.
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:34
			Some of them didn't.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:35
			Yeah, you didn't.
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:36
			You didn't.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:36
			You didn't.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			People before.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:40
			Anybody that was born before 2000, you are
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:41
			all Dhul-Qarnayn.
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:42
			According to that definition.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			Because you lived in one century and now
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:45
			you're living in another century.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:46
			That's one meaning.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:50
			The second meaning of Dhul-Qarnayn is that
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:55
			he has the knowledge of this dunya as
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			well as the baatin.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58
			Right?
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			So the obvious and the hidden realm.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:04
			So he understands the obvious realm as well
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:05
			as the hidden realm.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:09
			The third meaning of Dhul-Qarnayn is that
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11
			when he was growing up, there was a
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			sword that was hit on his head.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			And his skull had split.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:18
			So it had an obvious separation and a
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:18
			protrusion.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			So it felt like he had two horns.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			That was his physical structure of his skull.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:25
			The fourth or fifth.
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:25
			I don't know.
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:25
			I forgot.
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			Fifth?
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			Fourth?
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:28
			Fourth.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			The fourth meaning of Dhul-Qarnayn is he
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			used to have a quwun-sula.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			Which is literally something like this.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			Which used to have two actual horns on
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:38
			top of it.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:39
			Okay?
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			So that's why he is named Dhul-Qarnayn.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			Most of the tafseer scholars of the past,
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:49
			they call Dhul-Qarnayn, the old tafseer scholars
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			and the previous classical tafseers, they'll say that
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			he is Iskandar the Great.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:54
			Alexander the Great.
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:55
			Okay?
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			That's one tafseer.
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00
			Then there are tafseers that say that this
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:04
			person was a person in India.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			And a third tafseer is that he was
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:10
			from the area of Tajikistan and those areas
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			of China and Russia that built.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:17
			And that's why the tafseer is called the
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			Greater Wall of China and all of that.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			If Allah wanted us to know who he
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			was, he would have told us.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25
			He wanted to focus on that.
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			That he was known as Dhul-Qarnayn.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:28
			Right?
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			That's one part.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:34
			Was he a king?
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			He was a king.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:43
			And how many people have had the kingdom
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			of the entire world?
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			That's good.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			It's easy to answer this question, right?
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			How many people have had the kingdom of
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51
			the entire world?
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:52
			It's very easy.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:53
			Four.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:57
			Two were kuffar and two were Muslims.
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
			Who are the two kafirs?
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:01
			Nimrud?
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:02
			And?
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:05
			No.
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08
			Bukht Nasr.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			Nabukat Nasr.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:10
			Yes.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:12
			Bukht Nasr.
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:12
			Nasr.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:14
			These are two kuffars.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:15
			Two Muslims?
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:19
			Sulaiman Ali Salam and Dhul-Qarnayn.
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:20
			Who is the fifth one?
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			Who is the fifth one who hasn't come?
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			Mahdi Ali Salam.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:35
			He will also be the ameer of the
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			entire world.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			The entire world will submit to him.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:39
			Okay?
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			He is to come.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:41
			He is not here yet.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:46
			Now, Dhul-Qarnayn, about him, there are two
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:46
			aqwal.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			One is that Dhul-Qarnayn was a human
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			being.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			And the other is that Dhul-Qarnayn was
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:52
			an angel.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			In either case, if you want to take
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			him as a human, if you want to
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:03
			take him as an angel, in either case,
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			the tafsir that we're going to do is
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:06
			going to make sense to you.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			If you're going to take him as a
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			human being, then that means that he had
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			literally mu'ajizat.
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			Like, can human beings survive in space?
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			Can human beings survive in space?
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:24
			Like, without any spacesuits and stuff?
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:27
			Is there a possibility for us to survive?
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:28
			I don't think so.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:29
			You don't think so?
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:30
			No?
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:32
			Probably not.
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			Yeah, Isra-ul-Mi'raj is in 20
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36
			days or something.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			Didn't he go on Isra-ul-Mi'raj
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:40
			without spacesuit?
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			He not only went there, he actually went
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:46
			all the way to the seventh heaven.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:47
			Right?
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			So if you just go to the height
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			of Mount Everest, it's so cold that you
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:51
			can't survive.
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54
			But he survived.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57
			Where is Isa-alaihi-salaam right now?
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			With his physical body?
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			He's in the second heaven.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:03
			He's surviving.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			Idrees-alaihi-salaam.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:06
			Right?
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:08
			On the fourth heaven.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:10
			His ruh was taken.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			He was physically present on the fourth heaven.
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:13
			Okay?
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:17
			So, and that's why it's important for us
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:18
			to understand aqidah.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			Okay?
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:23
			Something that hasn't happened or is least likely
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			doesn't become impossible.
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:27
			Yeah, you can say that it's a high
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			probability that if you go to the space,
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:29
			you're probably going to die.
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:31
			High probability.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:35
			But having said that, is it possible for
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:36
			somebody to survive in space?
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:36
			Absolutely.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala can alter all
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:41
			of the composition of your body for you
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:41
			to survive in space.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:43
			Absolutely.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:45
			When we're going to be in Jannah, there
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:46
			is going to be no bathroom.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			We're not going to go.
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			There's going to be no defecation.
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			There's going to be no urination.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			Nobody's going to urinate.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			Allah is going to take.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			And that was one of the biggest objections
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:56
			that the Jewish people had.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			They're like, what kind of nonsense is this
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			Nabi telling you that we're not going to
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:01
			have this?
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:05
			So, one of the qadis, they said to
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:06
			the Jewish people, he said, when you eat
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			your food, does all of the food come
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			out or a portion of it?
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			He said, portion of it.
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:13
			He said, the one who is capable of
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:17
			taking portion to your body and other exits
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			your body, is he not capable of having
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			the entire thing consumed by your body?
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:23
			What is the sound?
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:25
			You hear it?
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:27
			What?
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29
			Printer?
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:32
			This, it stopped.
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:36
			Alright.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			So, that's the other part about Dhul-Qarnayn.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:39
			That whether you take him as a human
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41
			being or you take him as an angel,
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:42
			the story that we're going to discuss, it's
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:43
			all going to make sense.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			Okay?
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:46
			Now, wa yas'alunaka.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:47
			The word yas'alunaka comes in the Qur
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:49
			'an 16 times.
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:53
			15 times it comes in the form of
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			yas'alunaka, mudarir.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:55
			And one time it comes in the form
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			of past tense.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:58
			Where is the past tense?
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			I think it's in Surah Baqarah.
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			Past tense, sa'alaka.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:16
			Wa itha sa'alaka ibadi anni fa inni
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:16
			qareeb.
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:18
			Ujeebu da'watul da'i itha da'ani.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:23
			Whenever they ask you, O Prophet of Allah,
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			about me, inni qareeb.
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:28
			In all of the answers, in all of
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:31
			the answers of yas'alunaka, Allah Subhanu wa
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			Ta'ala says after that, qul.
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:34
			O Prophet of Allah, say.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:35
			Say.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			But in sa'alaka, the qul is dropped.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			Because Allah Subhanu wa Ta'ala wanted to
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42
			let you know that you don't need an
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			intermediary to connect with Allah Subhanu wa Ta
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:45
			'ala.
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			Itha sa'alaka ibadi anni.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			If people ask you, if my servants ask
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			you, inni qareeb.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:51
			Right away.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:52
			Not even qul.
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:54
			O Prophet of Allah, say to them that
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:58
			remove that qul and connect it directly.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:22:59
			Okay?
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:02
			Now, Allah Subhanu wa Ta'ala says over
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:06
			here, wa yas'alunaka AAan dhulqarnayn.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:09
			They are going to ask you about dhulqarnayn.
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:10
			Dhulqarnayn.
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			Qul, O Prophet of Allah, say to them,
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			sa'atlu AAalaykum minhu dhikra.
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:17
			I am about to relate to you some
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:18
			information.
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:19
			Whatever we know now is just a very
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:24
			small portion of the detailed story of dhulqarnayn.
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:25
			Okay?
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			Now, I'm trying to understand how I can
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			actually relate this to you.
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			So, the part when Allah says, sa'atlu
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			AAalaykum minhu dhikra.
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:48
			Right?
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:54
			In that, there's an element of elevation of
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:57
			the story of dhulqarnayn.
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:58
			Right?
		
00:23:58 --> 00:23:59
			Because what Allah Subhanu wa Ta'ala is
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:02
			doing is He's telling you, look, dhulqarnayn, whatever
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:06
			great actions that He did, now, all of
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:09
			His life, His story has become a form
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:10
			of tilawa.
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:12
			A form of ibadah for you.
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:16
			And this is how Allah honored His positive
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			life, His blessed life.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			And that is what Allah Subhanu wa Ta
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:20
			'ala does.
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:20
			Right?
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:22
			If you and I do something for the
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:24
			sake of Allah Subhanu wa Ta'ala, Allah
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:27
			can turn that action of ours as a
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:30
			source of ibadah for others and a source
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:31
			of reward for you.
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			So, every person that reads this story today,
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:35
			dhulqarnayn gets a portion of that reward too.
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:38
			And that's the subtle part.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			When Allah says, sa'atlu, right?
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			Over here, Allah is like, I'm about to
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:43
			recite.
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			So, this is a recitation and that recitation
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			of the Qur'an is a form of
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
			ibadah.
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:52
			But His goodness turned His story into a
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:53
			form of an ibadah.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:54
			Okay?
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:58
			sa'atlu AAalaykum minhu dhikra Okay?
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:05
			inna makkanna lahu fil ardi wa aataynahu min
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:07
			kulli shay'in sababa Allah Subhanu wa Ta
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			'ala said that we had makkanna, we had
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:13
			established Him, we had given Him all of
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:13
			tamakkun.
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:16
			makkanna yumakkinu basically means to be able to
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			have complete control.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:20
			Nothing is out of your control.
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:25
			inna makkanna lahu We had allowed Him to
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27
			have the control in this earth.
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:31
			wa aataynahu And we had given Him min
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:35
			kulli shay'in sababa And we had given
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:40
			Him the means of all things.
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:42
			kulli shay'in, all things.
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:43
			sababa, the means.
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			How many times does the word sababa come
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:51
			in the Qur'an?
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:58
			Nine times.
		
00:25:59 --> 00:25:59
			Right?
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			The word sababa comes in the Qur'an
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:02
			nine times.
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:02
			Okay?
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:06
			All of the nine times except one.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:07
			Right?
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:08
			If you look at the translations of it.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:11
			All of the nine times that we translate
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13
			the sababa in the Qur'an, we translate
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			it as a pathway.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:17
			A pathway.
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:18
			Okay?
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20
			And the word asbab.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:22
			Asbab.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			Today we say sabab.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			But the word asbab in the Arabic language,
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			if you look up in the Arabic dictionary,
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:31
			it says, turuqus sama'i fee abwabiha It
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:35
			is the passageways and gateways of the skies
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			through the doors of the sky.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			That is the literal definition if you pick
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:40
			up the Arabic dictionary.
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:42
			Asbab.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			turuqus sama'i fee abwabiha Okay?
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:51
			aw ma'arijuha Even some of the castles
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			that can be found in the sky.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:55
			Okay?
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			All of that is the literal Arabic text
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			of the meaning of the word asbab.
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:06
			Zayd ibn Aslam, the sahabi, the tab'i,
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:09
			he used to say that Arabs only understood
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:14
			the word sababa as ways in the sky.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			Whenever the word sababa was used in the
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			Qur'an, Arabs did not understand it any
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:20
			other way.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:23
			Okay?
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:24
			This is important for us to understand.
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:25
			Okay?
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:29
			Now what happens, every time we do translation
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:32
			of this particular ayah, right, we turn it
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:33
			into means.
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:36
			Say sababa means, which is a really far
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37
			-fetched translation of it.
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:40
			But the reason why most of the mufassirun
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:41
			have done it is because they didn't understand
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:42
			space travel.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:44
			They didn't understand all of that.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			It was very foreign to them.
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:48
			So they said, no, we'll use the word
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			sababa, fee kulli shay'in sababa i.e.
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:52
			Allah had given him the means of all
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:52
			the things.
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			The actual translation, if you do it, based
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			on tafsir al Qur'an bil Qur'an,
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			doing the tafsir using Qur'an with the
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:02
			Qur'an, this means that we had given
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:06
			him kulli shay'in sababa, we had given
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08
			him the means, we had given him all
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:12
			things that he needed for the pathways of
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:13
			the heavens and the earth.
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:14
			Okay?
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			Now this concept was not foreign.
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:17
			Right?
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			What does Firaun say to Haman?
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:29
			Ya Hamanu, Ibn Ali, Ibn Ali sarhan, can
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:33
			you make for me an escalator sort of
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:33
			a thing?
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:34
			Why?
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:39
			la'alli ablughul asbab So I can reach
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:41
			the pathways of the sky.
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			And once I will reach that with the
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:45
			means that you will create for me, right,
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:49
			then I shall be able to attali'a
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:53
			ila no, fa attali'a ila ilahi Musa
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:55
			So I can go and check Allah, this
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:56
			Allah that Musa is talking about.
		
00:28:58 --> 00:28:59
			It's in the Quran.
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:04
			So literally he is telling Haman, hey man,
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:07
			why don't you build me some space travel
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			thing so I can get to the sky,
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11
			asbab as-sama, I can get to the
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:13
			doorways of the sky, so that I can
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:15
			cross and now let me go and check
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:18
			where is the ilah of Musa.
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:20
			In the Quran.
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:23
			And it's translated as the pathways of the
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:23
			sky.
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:27
			So if we take that same translation here,
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30
			then the entire story takes a complete shift.
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:32
			Okay, how does that?
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:35
			So, inna makkanna lahu fil ardi We had
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:37
			established him in this earth.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			He had all the resources that he needed.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:40
			Why?
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:43
			wa'ataynahu And also we had given him
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:45
			kulla shay'in Everything that he needed.
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:48
			sababan i.e. all things that he needed
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:49
			to be able to enter those pathways.
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:51
			Okay?
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:58
			fa'atba'a sababa So, even in the
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			translation, what does it say?
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:00
			So he traveled the course.
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:02
			You pick up your translation, it says you
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:02
			traveled.
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:05
			So sababa in the morning, in the ayah
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06
			before was means, all of a sudden next
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:08
			one we say he traveled the course.
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:11
			So if you understand it as means, then
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			what happened?
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:13
			He traveled the course.
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:14
			Course where?
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:16
			He's leaving this earth.
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:19
			Now it's very important for us to understand
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			some of the things that the sahabas in
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:23
			the hadith have been mentioned about him.
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:25
			For example, there's a hadith of Ali r
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:27
			.a, a qawl of Ali r.a, that
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:35
			Dhul-Qarnayn, he parked his horse, he parked
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:39
			his horse on Surayya, the Cyrus Star.
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:40
			It's in Fath-ul-Bari.
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43
			He parked his star in Surayya.
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:46
			What did I say?
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:47
			He parks his star?
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:48
			I like that.
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:49
			It's good.
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:50
			I think I need coffee.
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:54
			So he parked his horse at Surayya, which
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			is the Cyrus Star, and then he came
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:56
			back.
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:04
			And nobody from the previous generation ever questioned
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:04
			that.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:08
			Because they understood that travels in the space
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:09
			was a normal phenomenon.
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:11
			Nobody questioned that.
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:16
			And even it was recorded, and it has
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:17
			been recorded till today for us.
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			And so many other aqwal that we have
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:22
			about Dhul-Qarnayn.
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:26
			So he traveled his course.
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:30
			حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ مَغْرِبَ الشَّمْسِ This is something
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:31
			important for us to understand.
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:33
			Until he reached the setting point of the
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:33
			sun.
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:35
			Where does the sun set?
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:37
			We have discussed this in the previous story.
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:40
			Does the sun ever set in the world?
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:43
			It's an illusion of sunset.
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:45
			But the sun is actually never setting.
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:46
			Okay.
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:48
			How would you have the sun setting?
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:52
			What needs to happen for you to actually
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:53
			see the sunset?
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:01
			And what happens in outer space?
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:03
			How far do you have to be in
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:03
			outer space?
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:09
			You have to leave this galaxy for you
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:12
			to be able to see that sun completely
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:13
			eliminate.
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:14
			Like it's no longer there.
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:18
			So he's saying حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ Until he
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:21
			reached the point مَغْرِبَ الشَّمْسِ He looked back
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:24
			and he's seeing he's leaving this earth.
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:27
			He's traveling and now he doesn't see that
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:27
			galaxy anymore.
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:29
			He's like seeing our solar system.
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:30
			He's out of it.
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:34
			مَغْرِبَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا This is so powerful.
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37
			تَغْرُبُ Oh, there's food today?
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:38
			MashaAllah.
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:38
			MashaAllah.
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:39
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:41
			This is amazing.
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:43
			وَجَدَهَا He found the sun.
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:45
			تَغْرُبُ It was setting.
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:47
			So he's looking at the sun and he
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:49
			sees the sun being setting.
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:55
			فِي عَيْنٍ هَمِئَةٍ He sees the sun setting
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:58
			in a dark, in a spring or in
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:02
			a hole عَيْنٍ in an eye هَمِئَةٍ It
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:03
			is murky.
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:05
			It looks like water but it's murky.
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:08
			There, once he's about to leave this earth
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:12
			وَجَدَ عِنْدَهَا At that moment he found a
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:13
			قَوْم He found a group of people there.
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:15
			Question for you guys.
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:18
			What is he talking about?
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:20
			This عَيْن It's dark in color.
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:21
			Think about it.
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:23
			Black hole.
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:27
			Go and read the descriptions of black hole.
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:31
			It completely coincides with this.
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:33
			It's like an eye, an eyeball with a
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:34
			dark murky water.
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:38
			عَيْنٍ هَمِئَةٍ So he's actually exiting and when
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:40
			he's looking back he sees that as a
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:41
			black hole.
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:46
			عَيْنٍ هَمِئَةٍ وَجَدَ عِنْدَهَا قَوْمًا At that place
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:49
			he sees قَوْم A nation.
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:51
			Is it possible for us to have a
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:51
			different nation?
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:54
			How?
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:56
			Oh yeah, you guys took Aqeedah.
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:56
			You can't talk.
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:00
			The two of them attended the detailed Aqeedah
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:02
			class so they know the answer to this.
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:04
			You guys, you can't say.
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:11
			The rest have to figure this out.
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:13
			Yeah, can they?
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:16
			Do we have one earth or multiple earths?
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:19
			Huh?
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:20
			One earth?
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:23
			How many?
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:24
			Seven?
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:26
			Seven earths.
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:32
			So there are seven of you.
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:39
			We have to get into multiple earths.
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			We have to get into multiple earths.
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:47
			Dr. Doom sounds even more interesting now.
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:51
			So question for you guys.
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:54
			In the Qur'an Allah Subh'anaHu Wa
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:56
			Ta-A'la says Allah has created seven
		
00:34:56 --> 00:35:02
			heavens and seven earths and they are exactly
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:02
			the same.
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:06
			Like they're a replica of each other.
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:06
			Okay?
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:09
			Now, is there a possibility for us to
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:16
			have another intellectual creation of Allah Subh'anaHu
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:17
			Wa Ta-A'la that exists on those
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:20
			seven heavens or on those different earths?
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:22
			Yes, it's possible.
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:25
			Have we seen it?
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:26
			Do we have any information about it?
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:26
			No.
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:28
			Right?
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:28
			No.
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:31
			But we have enough ayats that allude to
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:32
			that that Allah is capable of doing that
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:33
			and Allah sometimes tells us that.
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:36
			If you don't behave, I will remove you.
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:40
			And then, I will bring another jinn, not
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:42
			another insan.
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:46
			I will bring another creation that are not
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:48
			going to be like you guys.
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:50
			Okay?
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:51
			So Allah is fully capable of that.
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:53
			And we have this in our tafsir books
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:55
			that before us were what?
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:57
			Before ins were?
		
00:35:57 --> 00:35:58
			The jinns.
		
00:35:58 --> 00:35:59
			And before jinns were the?
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:01
			The bins.
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:02
			And before bins were the?
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:03
			The hins.
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:04
			Right?
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:07
			And those three, all three, and they were,
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:10
			and they were all intellectual because the jinns
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:13
			were sent to negotiate with the bins and
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:15
			if they don't listen to you, then kill
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:15
			them.
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:18
			All of that is happening and we know,
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:21
			I'm seeing the beautiful faces of people, they're
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:23
			like, what is going on?
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:27
			So, seven earths, he goes and he finds
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:31
			Indaha at the time he's exiting this universe,
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:34
			this world, and he's going to the different
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:34
			world.
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:37
			He finds a group of people.
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:43
			We said to, Allah says to Dhul Qarnain,
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:44
			you have a choice.
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:49
			You can punish them.
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:56
			Or you can deal them with a gentle
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:58
			and nice kind manner.
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:03
			Who generally has the option to punish at
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:03
			mass scale?
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:05
			Angels.
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:09
			And that is the ayah that alluded to
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:11
			a lot of the scholars saying that he
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:11
			was an angel.
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:13
			He was not a human being.
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:17
			Angels generally come to, Allah sends them to
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:19
			a nation and says, punish them or don't.
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:21
			Allah gives them the choice.
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:23
			To the angels, sometimes Allah gives them the
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:24
			khiyar.
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:26
			That if in salah, if they turn back,
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:27
			then don't punish them.
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:28
			If they punish them, or go and ask
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:29
			the Nabi.
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:31
			Go and ask the Nabi.
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:32
			So that is what's happening.
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:35
			So he comes and meets this group of
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:37
			people and he says, as for the ones
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:40
			who have transgressed, we are going to punish
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:41
			you.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:44
			Then you will be sent back to your
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:45
			Rabb.
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:48
			And he will also punish you.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:53
			A torment, a horrible torment.
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:59
			وَأَمَّا مَنْ آمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا And as for
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:02
			those who became Muslims and they iman, they
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:05
			believed, and they did righteous deeds, or good
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:09
			deeds, or they do good, فَلَهُ جَزَاءً الْحُسْنَةِ
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:13
			For them, they're going to get the finest
		
00:38:13 --> 00:38:13
			rewards.
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:19
			وَسَنَقُولُ لَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِنَا يُسْرًا And we will
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:22
			have, our commands are going to be easy
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:22
			for them.
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:24
			i.e. we're going to treat them with
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:25
			ease.
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:34
			So it is important that this society had
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:40
			elements in terms of the formation of rewards,
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:42
			punishment systems, and all of that.
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:44
			They understood this.
		
00:38:45 --> 00:38:47
			So it is a society, it's a group
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:52
			of people that had sharia, that had right
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:53
			and wrong.
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:54
			They were able to differentiate.
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:56
			They had a belief in akhira.
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:57
			They had all of that.
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:01
			ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَ سَبَبَ So then he traveled.
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:03
			Now he traveled a course.
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:04
			i.e. he traveled a different.
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:07
			ثُمَّ is referring to, that he traveled a
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:07
			different course.
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:09
			i.e. he traveled further.
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:13
			حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ مَطْلِعَ الشَّمْسِ What is happening
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:13
			this time?
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:18
			The time before, he's exiting from this world,
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:20
			and he sees the sun from our universe
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:20
			setting.
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:24
			Now he's traveling, and he's entering somewhere else,
		
00:39:24 --> 00:39:25
			so he sees the sun.
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:27
			The first thing you're going to see is
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:28
			the brightest star.
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:31
			So he's entering into another realm, and he
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:34
			sees مَطْلِعَ الشَّمْسِ He sees the sun rising.
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:39
			حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ He reaches the point, entry,
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:42
			مَطْلِعَ الشَّمْسِ where the sun rises.
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:43
			Where does it rise?
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:46
			It's always there.
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:47
			But if you're coming into the galaxy, the
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:48
			first thing you see is that.
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:50
			So he enters that place.
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:58
			وَجَدَهَا تَتْلُعُ عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ Now, he enters this
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:02
			place, this verse, this universe, and he finds
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:07
			that the sun was, for this society, عَلَىٰ
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:10
			قَوْمٍ It was rising on a people.
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:11
			The sun was there on a people.
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:16
			لَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَهُمْ مِن دُونِهَا سِطْرًا They had
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:19
			no way to protect themselves from the light
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:20
			of the sun.
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:24
			And this ayah also alludes to the fact
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:25
			that this can't be in this world.
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:28
			Because we can always find shade from the
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:28
			sun.
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:32
			And Allah is like, over here, لَمْ نَجْعَلْ
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:35
			It's like Allah is like, we had not
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:36
			created for them.
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:39
			They had no way at all.
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:43
			They had no way at all to cover
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:47
			themselves or save themselves from the light of
		
00:40:47 --> 00:40:48
			the sun.
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:50
			In our tafsir books, yes.
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:53
			The sun was always out and they had
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:54
			no protection.
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:55
			No, no.
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:58
			When the sun was out, they had no
		
00:40:58 --> 00:40:59
			protection from the sun.
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:00
			Because of the hadith that is mentioned in
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:01
			Ibn Kathir.
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:03
			This is a hadith that is in Ibn
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:03
			Kathir.
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:06
			It's a very long hadith, but I'll summarize
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:06
			it.
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:08
			The summary of the hadith is that when
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:11
			he came over there, Zulqarnain, he saw these
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:11
			people.
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:14
			The only protection that they had from the
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:18
			sun is that they would take the fat,
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:22
			they would take the fat of any animal
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:24
			that they had access to, they would put
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:27
			that fat all over their body and then
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:29
			while the sun was up, they would keep
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:36
			themselves submerged completely in the water to protect
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:37
			themselves from the sun.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:41
			And then when the sun was about to
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:44
			set and there were some rays left, they
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:46
			would catch whichever fish they were able to
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:49
			catch and they would just raise the fish
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:55
			with a stick and the rays of the
		
00:41:55 --> 00:42:04
			sun were so strong that their fish would
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:07
			just literally barbecue in the sky with literal
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:10
			rays of the sun.
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:14
			And then as the sun would set, then
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:16
			they would come out and eat whatever they
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:16
			could.
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:21
			So this is mentioned in Ibn Kathir about
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:21
			this.
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:31
			Remember we have mentioned this again and again
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:33
			and again in Surah Kahaf and previous Surahs.
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:37
			So whenever Allah says this is referring to
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:39
			the way all of the miracles that we
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:42
			have discussed about Ashab ul Kahaf and about
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:51
			Dhul Qarnayn and about Khadir AS, likewise Allah
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:52
			is like the way I am telling you
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:55
			about all of these stories, Allah is like
		
00:42:55 --> 00:42:58
			we are well aware, we have absolute, true,
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:00
			full knowledge of Him.
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:02
			I don't get in doubts about what is
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:04
			to come because what is to come is
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:04
			actually more powerful.
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:09
			So he traveled the course.
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:11
			He traveled the course.
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:13
			This is the third course he travels.
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:25
			Or in another tafsir, Now this is where
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:29
			it's really interesting because Saddain is two mountains.
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:32
			That's how it is translated as.
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:35
			Two mountains.
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:38
			This Kalima said in the Quran comes four
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:39
			times.
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:49
			Out of the four times it comes in
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:52
			Surah Kahaf in Ayah number 93, it comes
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:55
			in Surah Kahaf Ayah number 94, and in
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:59
			Surah Yaseen it comes two times in Ayah
		
00:43:59 --> 00:43:59
			number 9.
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:03
			وَجَعَلْنَا مِن بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:07
			فَأَغْشَيْنَاهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ We have created وَجَعَلْنَا
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:11
			مِن بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا We have created between
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:15
			i.e. them and the opposite side Saddan,
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:15
			a barrier.
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:19
			فَأَغْشَيْنَاهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ And they do not
		
00:44:19 --> 00:44:20
			see.
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:22
			So this barrier was a barrier.
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:23
			Which story is this referring to?
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:28
			Come on man.
		
00:44:29 --> 00:44:31
			When was the barrier where Prophet ﷺ just
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:33
			walked right in front of the people?
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:35
			Hijrah.
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:39
			When all the 40 tribesmen with their swords
		
00:44:39 --> 00:44:41
			open were standing and waiting to kill Prophet
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:41
			ﷺ.
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:43
			And over here Allah ﷻ says that He
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:46
			had created between Rasulullah ﷺ and those people
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:47
			a barrier.
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:48
			So he literally walked out in front of
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:48
			them.
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:51
			He could see them through the barrier.
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:53
			They could not see him.
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:58
			So As-Saddan comes this time.
		
00:44:58 --> 00:45:01
			So really interesting that all the times in
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:02
			the Qur'an Sad is used as a
		
00:45:02 --> 00:45:04
			barrier except over here.
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:08
			And they call it mountains over here.
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:11
			Sad in the Arabic language generally is never
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:11
			used for mountains.
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:16
			But because of the Hadith that they are
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:20
			encapsulated between two barriers they literally said these
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:21
			are two mountains.
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:23
			They literally said these are two mountains.
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:26
			But the actual meaning of Sad is a
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:26
			barrier.
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:31
			So حَتَّىٰ أَنْتِلْ إِذَا بَلَغَىٰ هِي رِيشْتْ بَيْنَ
		
00:45:31 --> 00:45:35
			السَّدَّيْنِ Between the two barriers of the two
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:35
			worlds.
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:38
			Between two worlds.
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:40
			So he is in this one world and
		
00:45:40 --> 00:45:42
			another world and between these worlds are barriers.
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:46
			The way we know about the story of
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:47
			Prophet ﷺ a barrier.
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:49
			They are in this world or another world
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:50
			but there is a barrier.
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:53
			There is a barrier between these two worlds.
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:55
			بَيْنَ السَّدَّيْنِ Between two barriers.
		
00:45:55 --> 00:45:58
			وَجَدَ مِن دُونِهِمَا Separated from them.
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:00
			So he is not talking about this.
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:04
			There is a مِن دُونِهِمَا Over there he
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:08
			found a group of people that away from
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:13
			this barrier was قَوْمًا Was a group of
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:13
			people.
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:17
			لَا يَكَادُونَ يَفْتَحُونَ قَوْلًا They were people who
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:19
			could not understand language.
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:23
			يَفْتَحُونَ قَوْلًا i.e. they could not there
		
00:46:23 --> 00:46:27
			was a group of people but they don't
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:30
			have the ability to talk.
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:36
			يَفْتَحُونَ قَوْلًا Any form of speech they are
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:37
			not able to understand.
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:40
			Now the way the Mufassirun have interpreted this
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:42
			ayah is saying that okay they were talking
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:44
			in sign language but then that ayah doesn't
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:48
			make sense because يَفْتَحُونَ قَوْلًا in قَوْل any
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:52
			form of قَوْل anything that is understood whether
		
00:46:52 --> 00:46:55
			you say it with your tongue or it
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:58
			is heard اَوْ بِاللَّمْز with like a wink
		
00:46:58 --> 00:47:01
			all of those forms of communication is called
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:05
			قَوْل So لَا يَكَادُونَ يَفْتَحُونَ قَوْلًا They were
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:07
			a group of people they could not understand
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:10
			they did not have the ability to understand
		
00:47:10 --> 00:47:10
			speech.
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:19
			So what's the next what's the next ayah?
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:27
			So now they're talking to Zulqarnain How?
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:30
			Allah SWT just told you they don't even
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:35
			understand speech Next ayah just قَالُوا يَا ذَلْقَرْنَينَ
		
00:47:35 --> 00:47:37
			Oh Zulqarnain Now they're having a full conversation
		
00:47:37 --> 00:47:43
			with him How do you reconcile that?
		
00:47:52 --> 00:47:59
			No يَفْتَحُونَ قَوْلًا That ayah cannot that meaning
		
00:47:59 --> 00:48:04
			can't stand just from the grammatical sense I
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:07
			know what you're trying There's a possibility that
		
00:48:07 --> 00:48:08
			you can do it but it won't stand
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:15
			because لَا يَكَادُونَ يَفْتَحُونَ قَوْلًا Any form of
		
00:48:15 --> 00:48:18
			speech But then right after that they talk
		
00:48:18 --> 00:48:21
			to Zulqarnain You know what solved this mystery
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:22
			for me?
		
00:48:24 --> 00:48:28
			You guys are going to laugh Mandalorian Season
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:33
			1 We were sitting and watching You remember
		
00:48:33 --> 00:48:36
			that What's that little green creature's name?
		
00:48:36 --> 00:48:37
			Yoda?
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:40
			No Grogu Have you seen it?
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:43
			Grogu And then that lady with the laser
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:46
			thing Ahsoka Tan Right?
		
00:48:47 --> 00:48:50
			Ahsoka Tan So remember the first time Ahsoka
		
00:48:50 --> 00:48:50
			Tan meets Grogu?
		
00:48:52 --> 00:48:53
			And Mandalorian is like in the back and
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:55
			he walks up and he sees both of
		
00:48:55 --> 00:49:00
			them and they're just sitting there and he's
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:01
			like what is going on?
		
00:49:01 --> 00:49:06
			He clearly sees no sign language no physical
		
00:49:06 --> 00:49:10
			inclinations they're just sitting there and then she
		
00:49:10 --> 00:49:12
			turns to him and then she picks up
		
00:49:12 --> 00:49:14
			and picks him puts him down and then
		
00:49:14 --> 00:49:16
			they're just sitting there they're looking at each
		
00:49:16 --> 00:49:21
			other and then Mandalorian asks Ahsoka Tan says
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:23
			Are you guys talking to one another?
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:25
			and she says what?
		
00:49:25 --> 00:49:30
			He says no We understand each other's feelings
		
00:49:32 --> 00:49:35
			we don't need to talk our communication is
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:40
			through feelings that can actually be called not
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:43
			qawwd because it's feelings you haven't expressed anything
		
00:49:43 --> 00:49:46
			from your physical existence and then we found
		
00:49:46 --> 00:49:54
			out that elephants can speak like that elephants
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:58
			can speak at subsonic waves for over 100
		
00:49:58 --> 00:50:03
			miles they can send these feeling waves that
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:07
			are so subsonic and they can travel so
		
00:50:07 --> 00:50:11
			far and they can actually feel an elephant
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:14
			in stress somewhere really far and then show
		
00:50:14 --> 00:50:18
			up to help that elephant okay and there's
		
00:50:18 --> 00:50:23
			no communication no sound so over here they
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:26
			were not able to understand right after that
		
00:50:28 --> 00:50:30
			i.e. there was a means of communication
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:32
			that was beyond what you and I can
		
00:50:32 --> 00:50:35
			understand in this realm it was speech but
		
00:50:35 --> 00:50:38
			it was not qawwd it was a communication
		
00:50:38 --> 00:50:47
			a form of communication indeed have caused a
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:52
			lot of havoc for us so before we
		
00:50:52 --> 00:50:54
			get into the ayah we have to first
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:59
			understand okay how many of you know what
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:09
			what are they tiny creatures okay
		
00:51:09 --> 00:51:22
			good attempt Gag and Magog okay good they're
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:27
			what the holy book characters that's a nice
		
00:51:27 --> 00:51:29
			way to put them holy book characters okay
		
00:51:30 --> 00:51:39
			anybody else they're humans being but they're sons
		
00:51:39 --> 00:51:41
			so the first belief that we have as
		
00:51:41 --> 00:51:43
			Muslims is that they are from Banu Adam
		
00:51:44 --> 00:51:46
			they're from the lineage of Adam a.s.
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:50
			okay remember the hadith of Prophet s.a
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:51
			.w. and that's why it is so important
		
00:51:51 --> 00:51:54
			for us to understand a hadith in full
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:58
			context like I saw some tiktoker guys like
		
00:51:58 --> 00:52:00
			you know what like the chances of us
		
00:52:00 --> 00:52:03
			entering Jannah are like next to slim because
		
00:52:03 --> 00:52:05
			the hadith in Bukhari that says that out
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:07
			of the thousand people that Allah s.w
		
00:52:07 --> 00:52:10
			.t. has created 999 are going to enter
		
00:52:10 --> 00:52:14
			* fire ya habibi read the full hadith
		
00:52:15 --> 00:52:18
			and he stopped the tiktok right there right
		
00:52:18 --> 00:52:19
			and then somebody messaged me saying he's like
		
00:52:19 --> 00:52:21
			oh so what's the point of all this
		
00:52:21 --> 00:52:22
			effort I'm like yeah but read the full
		
00:52:22 --> 00:52:24
			hadith the hadith says even as much as
		
00:52:24 --> 00:52:27
			you are being shocked by this news the
		
00:52:27 --> 00:52:30
			sahabas were shocked and he said how are
		
00:52:30 --> 00:52:32
			we going to make it to Jannah and
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:33
			the Prophet s.a.w. was like don't
		
00:52:33 --> 00:52:37
			worry about you guys for those 999 all
		
00:52:37 --> 00:52:38
			of them are going to be at Jannah
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:43
			okay so there's a high probability that we'll
		
00:52:43 --> 00:52:45
			make it okay so they are from Banu
		
00:52:45 --> 00:52:49
			Adam that is the belief of Ahlus Sunnah
		
00:52:49 --> 00:52:50
			wal Jamaah this is our belief as well
		
00:52:50 --> 00:52:52
			as the Shi'a belief that they're from
		
00:52:52 --> 00:52:55
			Banu Adam okay now how did that happen
		
00:52:56 --> 00:52:58
			there's lots of tafsir in that there's no
		
00:52:58 --> 00:53:02
			authentic hadith how are those 999 did Adam
		
00:53:02 --> 00:53:04
			a.s. have children somewhere else in a
		
00:53:04 --> 00:53:06
			different realm like there's lots of hadiths but
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:09
			all of them are either extremely da'if
		
00:53:09 --> 00:53:12
			or they're fabricated hadiths okay the only authentic
		
00:53:12 --> 00:53:14
			hadiths we know are that for every thousand
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:18
			men for every thousand of Banu Adam 999
		
00:53:18 --> 00:53:20
			are going to enter Hellfire and they are
		
00:53:20 --> 00:53:23
			going to be Ahlus Sunnah okay that's all
		
00:53:23 --> 00:53:24
			we know and that's what we're going to
		
00:53:24 --> 00:53:28
			say about these are the hadiths that are
		
00:53:28 --> 00:53:33
			um authentic okay and I'm going to mention
		
00:53:33 --> 00:53:34
			a few of them there's lots of them
		
00:53:34 --> 00:53:38
			but I'll mention so Ali he says about
		
00:53:38 --> 00:53:41
			Ya'juj Ma'juj he says Minhum Man
		
00:53:41 --> 00:53:45
			Fooluhu Shibrun some Ya'juj Ma'juj their
		
00:53:45 --> 00:53:47
			height is going to be just this much
		
00:53:47 --> 00:53:52
			Shibrun okay Wa Minhum and they are going
		
00:53:52 --> 00:53:55
			to be those Man Huwa Mufritun Fit Tuli
		
00:53:55 --> 00:54:00
			they're going to be extremely tall Walahum Minash
		
00:54:00 --> 00:54:03
			Sha'ar Ma Yuwarihim Minal Harri Wal Barri
		
00:54:03 --> 00:54:05
			they don't need to wear clothes they are
		
00:54:05 --> 00:54:08
			going to be filled with hair and their
		
00:54:08 --> 00:54:11
			hair just like animals is going to suffice
		
00:54:11 --> 00:54:14
			them to protect them from heat and cold
		
00:54:15 --> 00:54:18
			and Hudhayfat Ibn Yaman Radiallahu Anhu Qal Sa
		
00:54:18 --> 00:54:21
			'altu Rasul Allahi Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam An
		
00:54:21 --> 00:54:23
			Ya'juj Wa Ma'juj I asked Prophet
		
00:54:23 --> 00:54:25
			Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam about Ya'juj and
		
00:54:25 --> 00:54:28
			Ma'juj Fa Qala Ya'juj Ma'juj
		
00:54:28 --> 00:54:31
			Ummatun Wa Ma'juj Ummatun Ya'juj is
		
00:54:31 --> 00:54:32
			a group of people Ma'juj is a
		
00:54:32 --> 00:54:34
			group of people they are two separate nations
		
00:54:36 --> 00:54:43
			Kullu Ummatin Every nation Arba Mi'ati Alfa
		
00:54:43 --> 00:54:48
			Ummah So in Ya'juj there are four
		
00:54:48 --> 00:54:57
			hundred thousand people Nation La Yamutu Rajulun Minhum
		
00:54:58 --> 00:55:01
			Not a person amongst them from one of
		
00:55:01 --> 00:55:07
			their Ummah dies Hatta Yanzura Ila Alfi Zakar
		
00:55:07 --> 00:55:10
			Baina Yadaihi Min Sulbihi A person from that
		
00:55:10 --> 00:55:12
			four hundred thousand one of them does not
		
00:55:12 --> 00:55:16
			die until he sees with his own eyes
		
00:55:16 --> 00:55:25
			a thousand male offspring Should I go further?
		
00:55:25 --> 00:55:26
			These are hadiths?
		
00:55:26 --> 00:55:27
			Because these are and these are all in
		
00:55:27 --> 00:55:31
			our main hadith books and main tafseer books
		
00:55:31 --> 00:55:31
			Okay?
		
00:55:35 --> 00:55:35
			Sorry?
		
00:55:37 --> 00:55:38
			Oh, a hundred percent Yeah, this is a
		
00:55:38 --> 00:55:40
			sign they are going to be the sign
		
00:55:40 --> 00:55:42
			of We're going to get to that We're
		
00:55:42 --> 00:55:43
			trying to understand who Ya'juj Ma'juj
		
00:55:43 --> 00:55:45
			are and we'll get into that I think
		
00:55:45 --> 00:55:47
			we'll probably hardly get to Ya'juj Ma
		
00:55:47 --> 00:55:51
			'juj today But we'll see Then the hadith
		
00:55:51 --> 00:55:54
			goes on Kultu Ya Rasool Allah Sifhum Lana
		
00:55:54 --> 00:55:56
			Now we know that there are going to
		
00:55:56 --> 00:55:59
			be so much in numbers What is their
		
00:55:59 --> 00:55:59
			Sifa?
		
00:55:59 --> 00:56:02
			i.e. give us the characteristics and attributes
		
00:56:02 --> 00:56:03
			of them Okay?
		
00:56:04 --> 00:56:08
			Qala Hum Salaatha Asnaafin They are three categories
		
00:56:08 --> 00:56:09
			Okay?
		
00:56:11 --> 00:56:17
			Sifhum Minhu Amsaal Al Aruz There's a group
		
00:56:17 --> 00:56:21
			of them There's a group of them They
		
00:56:21 --> 00:56:27
			are So there's two meanings Aruz i.e.
		
00:56:27 --> 00:56:28
			there's a group of them that are going
		
00:56:28 --> 00:56:33
			to be the size of Aruz Rice, grains
		
00:56:34 --> 00:56:36
			And the other meaning if you take the
		
00:56:36 --> 00:56:41
			word Aruz as cedar trees Aruz can also
		
00:56:41 --> 00:56:43
			mean cedar trees Allahu A'lam what Rasool
		
00:56:43 --> 00:56:46
			Allah meant Both meanings can come Okay?
		
00:56:46 --> 00:56:48
			I think the cedar one is more appropriate
		
00:56:48 --> 00:56:49
			Okay?
		
00:56:49 --> 00:56:51
			Because of all the other So one of
		
00:56:51 --> 00:56:53
			them they are going to be as tall
		
00:56:53 --> 00:56:58
			as a cedar tree Kultu Ya Rasool Allah
		
00:56:58 --> 00:57:02
			Wa Mal Aruz So then Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:57:02 --> 00:57:08
			Wasallam says Shajarun Bishan It's a tree Cedar
		
00:57:08 --> 00:57:10
			tree is rampant in Sham Right?
		
00:57:11 --> 00:57:13
			Cedar is rampant in Sham You can see
		
00:57:13 --> 00:57:16
			all throughout the Levant area Cedar is well
		
00:57:16 --> 00:57:18
			well known to be found in that area
		
00:57:18 --> 00:57:21
			of the Levant So then they said Ya
		
00:57:21 --> 00:57:23
			Rasool Allah Okay the cedar tree but what
		
00:57:23 --> 00:57:24
			type of cedar trees because there are some
		
00:57:24 --> 00:57:26
			small trees and then tall cedars and like
		
00:57:26 --> 00:57:28
			you know like Canadian cedars and a whole
		
00:57:28 --> 00:57:31
			bunch of cedars So then he says Toolu
		
00:57:31 --> 00:57:38
			Shajara Ishroona Miata Ziraan Fissama Zira is this
		
00:57:38 --> 00:57:39
			Right?
		
00:57:39 --> 00:57:40
			So take out your calculators Let's do this
		
00:57:40 --> 00:57:41
			together Okay?
		
00:57:42 --> 00:57:42
			This is what?
		
00:57:42 --> 00:57:44
			24 inches Right?
		
00:57:47 --> 00:57:54
			is 30 inches Do 30 inches For simplicity
		
00:57:54 --> 00:57:57
			of math we'll say 3 feet Okay?
		
00:57:57 --> 00:58:05
			So 3 feet times Ishroona Miata Ziraan 120
		
00:58:05 --> 00:58:12
			of this So 120 times 3 feet 360
		
00:58:12 --> 00:58:14
			feet tall Okay?
		
00:58:15 --> 00:58:19
			360 feet tall And if you take the
		
00:58:19 --> 00:58:21
			less estimates then you do 2 feet times
		
00:58:21 --> 00:58:24
			120 Still 240 feet tall That's pretty tall
		
00:58:25 --> 00:58:25
			Okay?
		
00:58:27 --> 00:58:31
			Wasinfun Minhum And the other There's a second
		
00:58:31 --> 00:58:39
			category Arduhu Watooluhu Sawaoon Ishroona Miata Ziraan The
		
00:58:39 --> 00:58:40
			other category So these are just going to
		
00:58:40 --> 00:58:43
			be tall, lanky people The other ones are
		
00:58:43 --> 00:58:46
			going to be wide So they're like a
		
00:58:46 --> 00:58:50
			square Their length and their height is 120
		
00:58:50 --> 00:58:54
			zira They're like a bulldozer Like a block
		
00:58:54 --> 00:58:56
			that walks Okay?
		
00:59:03 --> 00:59:07
			This wide group of people like square people
		
00:59:07 --> 00:59:09
			that are going to be walking Right?
		
00:59:10 --> 00:59:12
			In front of them no mountain will be
		
00:59:12 --> 00:59:15
			able to stand and no hadid They are
		
00:59:15 --> 00:59:19
			literally men of steel You can use any
		
00:59:19 --> 00:59:24
			form of steel in this world No bullets
		
00:59:24 --> 00:59:25
			are going to kill them This is very
		
00:59:25 --> 00:59:28
			indicative You can bomb them You can do
		
00:59:28 --> 00:59:31
			whatever They will not be affected by steel
		
00:59:31 --> 00:59:36
			projectiles Okay?
		
00:59:44 --> 00:59:48
			This is even shocking And the other group
		
00:59:48 --> 00:59:55
			is going to be just a group So
		
00:59:55 --> 00:59:59
			So they have long ears And one of
		
00:59:59 --> 01:00:01
			them will take one of these ears and
		
01:00:01 --> 01:00:04
			make it as a bed and use the
		
01:00:04 --> 01:00:08
			other ear They will use the other ear
		
01:00:10 --> 01:00:12
			And they will use the other ear as
		
01:00:12 --> 01:00:17
			a lihaf as a blanket Okay?
		
01:00:18 --> 01:00:23
			And then Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says Wa
		
01:00:23 --> 01:00:26
			la wahshin wa la jamalin wa la khinzeerin
		
01:00:26 --> 01:00:31
			illa akaluhu They will come across any wild
		
01:00:31 --> 01:00:34
			animal except they will literally grab that animal
		
01:00:34 --> 01:00:43
			and eat it illa akaluhu illa akaluhu wa
		
01:00:43 --> 01:00:46
			man mata minhum akaluhu If one of them
		
01:00:46 --> 01:00:49
			dies they will eat their own kind They
		
01:00:49 --> 01:00:55
			have cannibalism in them muqaddimatuhum bish-sham When
		
01:00:55 --> 01:00:58
			they are going to enter this world they
		
01:00:58 --> 01:01:02
			are going to the front end of their
		
01:01:02 --> 01:01:06
			battalion the front end of their cavalry is
		
01:01:06 --> 01:01:12
			going to be in Sham wasaquhum bi khurasan
		
01:01:12 --> 01:01:15
			And their other end is going to be
		
01:01:15 --> 01:01:19
			in khurasan in Iran All the way from
		
01:01:19 --> 01:01:24
			Sham today Syria, Damascus, all of that And
		
01:01:24 --> 01:01:26
			all the way to Iran That's how long
		
01:01:26 --> 01:01:35
			their army is going to be yashrubuna anhar
		
01:01:35 --> 01:01:40
			al-mashriqi wa buhayrat al-tabariyyah Buhayrat al
		
01:01:40 --> 01:01:43
			-tabariyyah This is the lake of Tabariyyah in
		
01:01:43 --> 01:01:45
			the Levant area They are going to drink
		
01:01:46 --> 01:01:50
			every water source that exists from Khurasan, Iran
		
01:01:50 --> 01:01:53
			all the way to this area including Buhayrat
		
01:01:53 --> 01:02:05
			al-Tabariyyah Okay So
		
01:02:05 --> 01:02:08
			that's one description You guys want another hadith?
		
01:02:09 --> 01:02:12
			Okay Thumman nasu min wasfihim bi qasri alqama
		
01:02:12 --> 01:02:15
			wa ssagri aljussa So there is going to
		
01:02:15 --> 01:02:16
			be groups that are going to be shibir
		
01:02:16 --> 01:02:19
			as Ali radiAllahu anhu said Right?
		
01:02:19 --> 01:02:20
			And they are going to be really small
		
01:02:20 --> 01:02:24
			Okay Bikaunu attool ahaduhum shibran wa minhum wasafuhum
		
01:02:24 --> 01:02:29
			bitool alqama kibr aljussa wa atbatulahum makhaleeb They
		
01:02:29 --> 01:02:33
			are going to have claws wal adhaafir and
		
01:02:33 --> 01:02:36
			nails They are going to have claws and
		
01:02:36 --> 01:02:40
			those claws are going to have nails wal
		
01:02:40 --> 01:02:43
			adhraas canine Every single one of them is
		
01:02:43 --> 01:02:47
			going to be a literal vampire Okay ka
		
01:02:47 --> 01:02:50
			adhraas al-saba' And Prophet ﷺ was like
		
01:02:50 --> 01:02:52
			It's not just any canines It's the canines
		
01:02:52 --> 01:02:59
			of a feline cat wa akhtalafu fee kayfiyat
		
01:02:59 --> 01:03:01
			The only difference is like how long the
		
01:03:01 --> 01:03:04
			canines are going to be Some are like
		
01:03:04 --> 01:03:05
			They are going to be long They are
		
01:03:05 --> 01:03:07
			going to be short But at the end
		
01:03:07 --> 01:03:08
			everybody agreed that they are going to have
		
01:03:08 --> 01:03:13
			canines Okay And the other major ikhtilaf between
		
01:03:13 --> 01:03:18
			the scholars is kayfiyatu ifsadihim fil ardi Okay
		
01:03:18 --> 01:03:20
			How are they going to destroy this earth?
		
01:03:20 --> 01:03:23
			That is massive tafsir and hadith and stuff
		
01:03:23 --> 01:03:25
			in our tafsir books Like you can keep
		
01:03:25 --> 01:03:28
			on reading and reading and get confused Okay
		
01:03:28 --> 01:03:30
			There is a massive ikhtilaf on But everybody
		
01:03:30 --> 01:03:32
			confirms that there is going to be massive
		
01:03:32 --> 01:03:37
			destruction of their hands Okay Fala yatarakuna lahum
		
01:03:37 --> 01:03:42
			shay'an akhdar wala jumlata bilafdhil fasaad They
		
01:03:42 --> 01:03:44
			are not going to leave anything And when
		
01:03:44 --> 01:03:47
			we use the word fasaad it means every
		
01:03:47 --> 01:03:49
			single thing of corruption and fasaad you can
		
01:03:49 --> 01:03:51
			think of they are going to engage in
		
01:03:52 --> 01:04:00
			Okay Question for all of you guys Where
		
01:04:00 --> 01:04:01
			are they today?
		
01:04:02 --> 01:04:04
			We will stop here because I think we
		
01:04:04 --> 01:04:05
			will not do the next part of the
		
01:04:05 --> 01:04:06
			ayah Where are they today?
		
01:04:07 --> 01:04:07
			Are they in this world?
		
01:04:10 --> 01:04:13
			Yeah So if they are this big If
		
01:04:13 --> 01:04:15
			they are this big And they are behind
		
01:04:15 --> 01:04:18
			a copper wall The wall has to be
		
01:04:18 --> 01:04:24
			at least 250 240 feet tall At least
		
01:04:24 --> 01:04:27
			On the least estimates of zira Right We
		
01:04:27 --> 01:04:31
			will take a short man's zira So But
		
01:04:31 --> 01:04:33
			still Where are they?
		
01:04:38 --> 01:04:40
			Maryam Ah Could they be in a different
		
01:04:40 --> 01:04:41
			realm?
		
01:04:43 --> 01:04:43
			Can they be in a different realm?
		
01:04:45 --> 01:04:46
			They could?
		
01:04:47 --> 01:04:49
			Okay Anybody else?
		
01:04:51 --> 01:04:52
			They are here?
		
01:04:53 --> 01:04:54
			We don't see them?
		
01:04:59 --> 01:05:04
			But it's a physical structure The jinn interacts
		
01:05:04 --> 01:05:06
			with their physical world of ours They don't
		
01:05:06 --> 01:05:11
			have their own physical world They use our
		
01:05:11 --> 01:05:13
			world but we just don't see them They
		
01:05:13 --> 01:05:22
			have a physical realm Okay 240 feet tall
		
01:05:23 --> 01:05:29
			copper steel building copper steel wall Huh?
		
01:05:29 --> 01:05:32
			Yeah By this time Elon Musk could have
		
01:05:32 --> 01:05:37
			figured it out They could also be in
		
01:05:37 --> 01:05:40
			underground Okay Beautiful They could also be underground
		
01:05:40 --> 01:05:42
			Okay Where are they?
		
01:05:42 --> 01:05:44
			InshaAllah we will talk about them next week
		
01:05:45 --> 01:05:48
			But it's enough And these are just two
		
01:05:48 --> 01:05:53
			of the 18 or 19 authentic ahadith that
		
01:05:53 --> 01:05:56
			talk about their You know Ka'anna wujuhahum
		
01:05:56 --> 01:05:59
			mijaanil mitraqa Their faces are like somebody has
		
01:05:59 --> 01:06:02
			taken a you know cast iron skillet and
		
01:06:02 --> 01:06:04
			slapped their face and it's like their just
		
01:06:04 --> 01:06:08
			flat face It literally says mijaanil ya'ni
		
01:06:08 --> 01:06:14
			you know your shields Somebody's like take that
		
01:06:14 --> 01:06:16
			shield and imagine if the shield was hammered
		
01:06:16 --> 01:06:19
			flat Right?
		
01:06:19 --> 01:06:22
			That's how their face is Okay There are
		
01:06:22 --> 01:06:23
			so many other descriptions given about them but
		
01:06:23 --> 01:06:26
			I intentionally gave descriptions that you may not
		
01:06:26 --> 01:06:28
			have heard about All other descriptions you may
		
01:06:28 --> 01:06:30
			have heard about them but these are other
		
01:06:30 --> 01:06:33
			descriptions that exist They are going to be
		
01:06:33 --> 01:06:34
			a test for us They are going to
		
01:06:34 --> 01:06:35
			be one of the greatest tests that Umar
		
01:06:35 --> 01:06:37
			is going to be tested And they are
		
01:06:37 --> 01:06:40
			one of the minor signs or major signs?
		
01:06:40 --> 01:06:59
			Major We'll
		
01:06:59 --> 01:07:02
			talk about it We'll talk about that inshallah
		
01:07:02 --> 01:07:03
			next week Okay?
		
01:07:03 --> 01:07:06
			Sounds good inshallah Yes Any questions about this?
		
01:07:06 --> 01:07:20
			Yes Yeah it's in the Quran We
		
01:07:20 --> 01:07:27
			don't know Allah doesn't tell us that Huh?
		
01:07:29 --> 01:07:31
			We don't know which He's traveling from one
		
01:07:31 --> 01:07:39
			place to another Most of the Sufis scholars
		
01:07:39 --> 01:07:41
			have considered this all taking place in the
		
01:07:41 --> 01:07:43
			earth But then I look at it from
		
01:07:43 --> 01:07:45
			this angle If this story is supposed to
		
01:07:45 --> 01:07:48
			protect me from Dajjal considering that he went
		
01:07:48 --> 01:07:52
			from China to like Japan and then he
		
01:07:52 --> 01:07:55
			saw a sunrise it's not very miraculous in
		
01:07:55 --> 01:07:57
			its nature if you think about it Right?
		
01:07:57 --> 01:08:00
			So how is Zulqarnain's story is supposed to
		
01:08:00 --> 01:08:05
			protect me if he's just having normative travel
		
01:08:05 --> 01:08:08
			from one place to another Oh he So
		
01:08:08 --> 01:08:10
			it literally because some of the Sufis scholars
		
01:08:10 --> 01:08:12
			they said Oh basically he started traveling until
		
01:08:12 --> 01:08:14
			he came to a city and because he
		
01:08:14 --> 01:08:15
			was traveling all day long the sun was
		
01:08:15 --> 01:08:17
			setting in that city But then there's a
		
01:08:17 --> 01:08:19
			lot of questions that are unanswered For example
		
01:08:19 --> 01:08:21
			tell me a city that you cannot you
		
01:08:21 --> 01:08:24
			know this city did not have any protection
		
01:08:24 --> 01:08:42
			from the sun That's not possible Not
		
01:08:42 --> 01:08:43
			five Five are not mentioned Three are mentioned
		
01:08:43 --> 01:08:51
			Three are mentioned So he's exiting exiting from
		
01:08:51 --> 01:08:54
			one And it will get into the Yajuz
		
01:08:54 --> 01:08:54
			Majuz Right?
		
01:08:54 --> 01:08:56
			It will get into the Yajuz Majuz where
		
01:08:56 --> 01:08:57
			they are Okay?
		
01:08:58 --> 01:08:59
			And are they coming from a different realm?
		
01:09:00 --> 01:09:01
			And then that could be the fourth world
		
01:09:01 --> 01:09:04
			If they're coming from a fourth world and
		
01:09:04 --> 01:09:07
			they are entering into that hole that barrier
		
01:09:07 --> 01:09:10
			has been patched Right?
		
01:09:10 --> 01:09:12
			And all of that that we will discuss
		
01:09:12 --> 01:09:15
			InshaAllah next week Namaskar Allah bless everybody that
		
01:09:15 --> 01:09:17
			is here Allahumma salli wa sallim ala nabiyyina
		
01:09:17 --> 01:09:19
			Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallimu
		
01:09:19 --> 01:09:22
			taslimu kathira wa barikillahumma ala Muhammadin wa ala
		
01:09:22 --> 01:09:23
			alihi wa sahbihi wa barikillahumma ala Muhammadin ala

			ala Muhammadin wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa

			wa barikillahumma ala
