00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			In the next ayah, Allah ﷻ says that,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:52
			فَمَصْطَعُوا أَن يَظْهَرُوهُ وَمَا اسْتَطَعُوا لَهُ نَقْبًا That
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			they were not able to overcome this or
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			scale the wall, and neither were they able
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			to tunnel through it.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			And we talked about the hadith that Prophet
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			ﷺ, he says, one of them is going
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			to be digging and digging and digging until
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			they see the Shu'a, until they see
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			the sun of our earth.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			And they're going to be like, alhamdulillah.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			Now we have reached, let's come back tomorrow
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			and we'll finish the job.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			And Allah ﷻ will make it, أَشَدْ مَا
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			كَانَ مِن قَبْلِ Allah will make it stronger
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			than what it was the day before yesterday.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			So every single day that they are digging,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			the wall is stronger than the day before.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			From the time of what?
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			From the time they've been put behind.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			So the day that they are going to
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			be able to break through, the only thing
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			that will help them is not their physical
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			strength.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			But the fact that they will say what?
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			Insha'Allah.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:46
			Right?
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			They will say, insha'Allah, غَدًا tomorrow we
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			will be able to overcome it.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			And then they will enter.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			And then we also talked about...
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			By the way, there's a very nice article
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:06
			in Arabic by Yusuf ibn Wabil.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:13
			Yusuf ibn Abdullah al-Wabil.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			Or Yusuf al-Wabil.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18
			He has this article called Ashrat al-Sa
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			'ah in Arabic.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			But the beauty is that he actually has
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			chronologically described all of the events.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:30
			It's an article, but he made it very
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			simple about how this happened.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			So he talks about this Ya'juj Ma
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			'juj.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			And he talks about that, that they are
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			going to be...
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			As soon as we see Ya'juj Ma
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:44
			'juj happening, we know that the last ten
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			major signs are like what?
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			Like beads that have been placed into a
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:49
			tasbih.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:54
			If one of them comes, the rest of
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			them are going to fall like beads.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			Like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:58
			eight, nine, ten.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			And we'll get to all the ten Ashrat,
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			the major signs.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:07
			Then he says, Dhul-Qarnayn, Qala hadha rahmatun
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:07
			min rabbi.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			The fact that I was able to build
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			and I was able to block all of
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			this.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			I was able to prevent them from coming
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			into this earth.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			This ability of mine is nothing but rahmat
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			from Allah SWT.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			And likewise as a believer, any ability of
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			ours we attribute it not to ourselves, but
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			to the mercy of Allah SWT.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			Fa-itha ja'a wa'du rabbi And when
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			the promise or the hour is going to
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			come, when this wall will be broken, Ja
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			'alahu dakka Allah will allow it.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42
			Allah will allow it and it will become
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:42
			leveled.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			Wa kaana wa'du rabbi haqqa And the promise
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:50
			of my Rabb is ever true.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			Then Allah talks about Ya'juj Ma'juj.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			And He says, Wa tarakna ba'dahum yawma idheen
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:02
			yamujoo fee ba'd On that day, we would
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			let them surge in waves one upon another.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			The imagery that Allah is trying to tell
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:12
			us is if you've ever seen scenes of
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			people fleeing from somewhere.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			If there was a mass crowd and they're
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			fleeing, what happens?
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			People running on top.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			If you've ever seen those hajj, where there
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			was a rampage in hajj.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			Any of that.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			I actually witnessed one.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			I was not doing hajj but I was
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			with my father.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			We were in Mecca.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			We went to visit somebody in Mina.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:37
			And we were literally saved by like few
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:37
			seconds.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			And then the next day we heard the
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			news that that big rampage that happened in
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:49
			2014 where so many people died due to
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			a rampage.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:51
			We were there that time.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:56
			And literally we squeezed through that gate and
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			they were closing because people lost it.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			And when people lose that, then it's almost
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			impossible.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			And sometimes that's why a lot of people,
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			they have a lot of criticism of the
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			Saudi government.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			And they'll be like, Oh, you know what?
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			Look, they're making you go into one way
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:12
			and stuff.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			But you have to understand that the amount
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			of Muslims and the amount of people that
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			come there, recorded is three million.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			The ones who have entered illegally, we don't
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			know how many.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28
			But despite that, the flow never stops.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			Nobody suffocates.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			And if you've ever been to Mecca in
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			Ramadan, you will know.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			A friend of mine, we were in the
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:38
			25th.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			And I remember we were there.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			We're like, okay, let's go to the bathroom
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:41
			and come back.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			We never got to, we never could come
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:43
			back.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			Because they have done in such a way
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47
			that you're going to exit.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			And for you to be able to get
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:53
			back in line, it's almost impossible.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57
			So similarly, that scene, when a rampage happens
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			and one people, they shove each other and
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			they're on top of another, that's what Allah
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			is saying, that when Ya'juj and Ya
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:08
			'juj are going to come, Allah will allow
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:12
			them to literally pillage and rampage this earth.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:14
			That's one meaning of it.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			That's one meaning.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			The second meaning is Allah is going to
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			allow the kuffar.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:28
			Allah will allow the kuffar to surge like
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:31
			waves in this earth and believers will be
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			left and they will be dwindled.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:33
			Nothing will happen.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			And the third is jamee'ul khala'iq.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			The third meaning of this, ...
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			Some are going to surge like waves on
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			others.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:49
			A'ee jamee'ul khala'iq.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			It's going to be animals and stuff.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			And that if you take the third opinion
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			that it's everything, then it is talking about
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			the day of judgment.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			When qiyama is going to happen, it's going
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			to be utter chaos.
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			Everything is going to be on top of
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:01
			everything.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:03
			...
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:07
			And then Allah SWT says on that day,
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:07
			...
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			On that day the trumpet is going to
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:10
			be blown.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			How many times is the trumpet going to
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			be blown?
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:15
			Two times.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			Which one is this one?
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20
			...
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:23
			Second one.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			And we all know that since Allah SWT
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:31
			from the day Allah SWT has created Israfil
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:35
			AS, he has been sitting with his trumpet
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			in his mouth from the day Allah has
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			created him.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			He is waiting for Allah's command.
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			He has the trumpet in his mouth and
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:46
			he's just waiting.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:49
			Allah is going to give me command any
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			minute now.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:51
			That's the only task he has.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			When he is going to blow the trumpet,
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:03
			everything is going to be destroyed except eight
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			things.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:05
			...
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			No.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			Eight things will be left.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			So they call it everlasting things.
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:22
			Eight things, once they are created, they will
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			never be destroyed.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			What are they?
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			And they are in pairs.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			It's easy to remember.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			Qalam.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			Ruh.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			Arsh.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			Kursi.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			Where's seven?
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:51
			Last one.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:54
			The backbone.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:55
			The zanaba.
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			The sacrum of our body.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:01
			Those eight things, once they come into existence,
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			they never get destroyed.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:11
			So everything is going to be destroyed and
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:14
			there will be four angels left after the
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			trumpet is blown.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:18
			The four main angels.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			And then Allah SWT, one by one, each
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			one is going to die.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			Who's going to be the last one to
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:25
			die?
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28
			Malakunna.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:29
			Good one.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			And then Allah is going to take his
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:32
			life.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34
			Who's going to be the first one to
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:35
			come back?
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:38
			No.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			Israfil AS.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			That's where this happens.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			He will be brought back the first time
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			and then Allah is going to command him
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51
			and then everything else is going to come.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53
			Who will be the first one to be
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			resurrected from human beings?
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			Prophet Muhammad SAW.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:05
			And when he is going to be awakened,
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			what is he going to see?
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			Musa AS.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:13
			He's going to see Musa AS holding on
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			to the leg of the Arsh of Allah
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:15
			SWT.
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:18
			And he says, I don't know.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			Prophet SAW said, I don't know.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			I'm not sure if he ever died or
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:24
			not.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			Was he resurrected?
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			Because I'm the first one that's going to
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:30
			be resurrected.
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			And when I will be resurrected, the first
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			thing I'm going to see is Musa AS
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			is already there.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39
			And he's holding on to the leg of
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:39
			the Arsh of Allah.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			Why do you think that happened?
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:44
			The ulema have given the answer that he
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			already had the sa'iqa when he asked
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			Allah SWT, show me yourself.
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			He said, look at the mountain.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:56
			If that mountain sustains itself, then you will
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			be able to see me.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			And what happened?
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			Everyone died.
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			Then Allah resurrected him back.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:07
			So some ulema say that because of that,
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:12
			because of that thing, it was that the
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			qiyamah would not affect him.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:17
			Because he has experienced something much higher than
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			qiyamah in this world.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			Allah knows best.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			These are all things.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			And these are ghaybiyat.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			We must believe in it.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:31
			Then Allah SWT says after that, وَعَرَضْنَا جَهَنَّمَ
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:37
			يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْكَافِرِينَ عَرْضًا Now, this is something really
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:37
			powerful.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:41
			Allah SWT says that on the day, on
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			that day, we will display the *.
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:50
			Imagine something being displayed, put on display for
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:51
			all the kafirs.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			This is where you're headed.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:58
			And that's where Ibn Al-Qayyim says that
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01
			on that day, they will be taken.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:04
			وَسِيقَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ زُمَرًا They will
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			be taken in groups.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			These are all the munafiqs.
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			These are all the backbiters.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			These are all the things.
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			زُمَر In groups.
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:14
			And SubhanAllah, he says, and there will be
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			people in those groups.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:19
			All the atham, all the major sins, there
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:20
			will be a group for those people.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			They will all be taken towards Jahannam.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:29
			They will be able to hear, they will
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			be able to hear the screams of Jahannam.
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			When they are a distance of how many
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:35
			years?
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:36
			40 years far.
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			So they're able to see Jahannam in front
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:39
			of them.
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			And that's what Allah is saying that we
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			will present Jahannam to them.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			يَوْمَئِذٍ On that day.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:48
			لِلْكَافِرِينَ For the kafir, عَرْضًا It is going
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			to be a clear display.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			This is where the hadith of Prophet ﷺ
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:55
			allows us to visualize this better.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:15:00
			Prophet ﷺ said that إِنَّ لِجَهَنَّمَ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَذْ
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			إِمَامًا Jahannam has 70,000 rains.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			70,000 rains.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:11
			And in each rain, how many angels are
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:11
			there?
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13
			70,000.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:22
			And if Allah SWT lets it go, i
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			.e. if it's not controlled by all of
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:29
			these angels, then it will eat alive everything
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:32
			that Allah SWT has created.
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36
			لَا يَتُرُكُ بَرًّا وَلَا فَاجِرًا Good or bad.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			Evil doesn't matter.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			It does not have the ability to distinguish.
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:41
			Jahannam.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47
			Who are these kafir?
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			Who are these disbelievers?
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:59
			Allah SWT says, الَّذِينَ كَانَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمْ فِي غِطَاءٍ
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:05
			عَنْ ذِكْرِ First quality Allah says, الَّذِينَ, these
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:09
			are the people, كَانَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمْ Their eyes were
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:13
			فِي غِطَاءٍ عَنْ ذِكْرِ Their eyes were veiled
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:15
			from My remembrance.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:26
			وَكَانُوا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ سَمْعًا And they were not
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:30
			able to withstand سَمْعًا Hearing of what?
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			Any Qur'an or anything of this nature.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			When it was recited, they were not able
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			to hear those messages.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:44
			I remember this ayah became so, like at
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:47
			that time when, I don't know if you
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			guys saw that podcast when Muhammad Hijab did
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:52
			a podcast with Jordan Peterson.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:56
			And then he asked, he said, let me
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			recite some Qur'an to you.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			He heard the Qur'an, he translated the
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
			Qur'an, and then the first thing Jordan,
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			you see his face change, and he's like,
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			why did you recite?
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			Like he questions him, why did you recite?
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			Why are you doing that?
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			There are people who have this adverse reaction.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16
			Similarly, I was once with a group of
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:18
			our friends and we had rented like a
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:22
			Coptic church hall for some marriage or some
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:23
			Walima or something like that.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			They had a banquet hall and they were
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25
			doing it as a service.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:32
			And I remember, I remember we were there
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:37
			and we met the main head priest of
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			the Coptic, Baba Shenouda.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:41
			He passed away now.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			So do you remember, anybody remembers Baba Shenouda?
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			He was like a very well-known, reputable
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			figure.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			So he passed away.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:52
			And we were with him.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			And when we were with him at that
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:58
			time, my friend, he said, okay, he started
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			complaining, he started talking to us about like,
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:01
			you know, Isa Ibn Maryam.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			And then my friend is like, okay, let
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			me recite some Surah Maryam.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:05
			So back in the day, we didn't have
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:05
			phones.
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			We had those small blue Qur'ans that
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09
			you can take out of your things and
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			you can actually recite.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			So he always carried, my friend always carried
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:13
			that Qur'an with him.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:17
			So he said, he started reciting Surah Maryam.
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:22
			He's like, qif, qif, stop, stop, don't do
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:22
			this.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:27
			Like the reaction this person had.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			Because he's Arab.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			He understands Qur'an.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			He knows that it will affect him.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			He was like, stop, stop, stop.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37
			And literally the other day, when we went
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:38
			to Canada, me and him, we were talking
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			about this.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			He's like, you remember that reaction?
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			And this is what Allah has encapsulated.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:47
			That these are people, they can hear, but
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:50
			they are not able to bear the message
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:50
			of the Qur'an.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			They can't have, they don't have the ability
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			to listen to the truth that the Qur
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:56
			'an tells them.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			It's very harsh for them.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:58
			Very hard for them.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:03
			And the other quality Allah says, that the
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:07
			remembrance of Allah, the signs of Allah SWT
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			spread out all throughout.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			You don't need to go far to be
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:15
			able to discover where Allah SWT's power and
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:15
			His Majesty.
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			But their eyes were veiled.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:24
			غِطَعًا أَنذِكْرِ Allah has placed His signs everywhere,
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
			but they were not able to pick up
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:26
			on the signs.
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:27
			They were blinded.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:31
			الَّذِينَ كَانَتَ عَيُنُهُمْ فِي غِطَعٍ أَنذِكْرِ The second
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:34
			meaning of this is, if you take the
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:37
			meaning of kafir over here, as an ungrateful
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:38
			or an ingrate.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			Somebody who was a Muslim, but he was
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:44
			not kafir in the sense of kafir disbelief,
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:47
			but kafir in the sense of somebody who
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			was ingrate.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:51
			Then that person, الَّذِينَ كَانَتَ عَيُنُهُمْ فِي غِطَعٍ
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:55
			أَنذِكْرِ A Muslim whose heart has been veiled
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56
			from the remembrance of Allah SWT.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			He doesn't remember Allah.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			Allah SWT talks about these people too, they
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			don't remember Allah SWT.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:11
			إِلَّا قَلِيلًا They're in a state completely heedless
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			of Allah SWT.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			وَكَانُوا لَا يَسْتَطِعُونَ سَمْعًا These are the people,
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			they can't stand if you try to tell
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			them anything about religion.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			They can't stand that.
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:41
			Imam Junaid he said, فِي غِطَعٍ أَنذِكْرِ The
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:45
			actual meaning of this he says, بِعَدَمِ النَّظَرِ
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:48
			فِي مَا جَعَلَنَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنْ زِينَةٍ دَلِيلًا
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:54
			عَلَى سَعَةٍ بِإِفْنَاءِ أَثَرِ إِحْيَائِهِ That they're unable
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:58
			to see every sign that Allah has displayed
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			for them in this dunya.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			Completely hidden from them.
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			They're in front but they're not able to
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:04
			see.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:06
			And this is the reality of this dunya.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:11
			We talked about it yesterday in the class
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14
			that we did at Georgia Tech that we
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			are literally living in a matrix.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			If you've seen a Matrix movie, we are
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:20
			literally living in a matrix.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:22
			Because if you think about every single thing,
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:25
			if you think about every single thing, Allah
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:30
			SWT says, if you do backbiting, the action,
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			Zahir, we're backbiting.
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			Batin, you're eating the flesh of your brother.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:36
			It's a matrix.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:40
			So the obvious is something else.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:47
			The Batin, the metaphysical realities, Allah SWT tells
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:49
			us, these are Ghaibiyat, the effect of that,
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:50
			the heart.
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			You do a sin.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:55
			The metaphysical reality, there's a dot, dot, dot,
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, until it's fully
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:58
			sealed.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:01
			Is your physical heart sealed?
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			No.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
			Is your MRI showing everything?
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:05
			Your echocardiogram?
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:06
			Everything is perfect.
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			But Allah is like that person's heart is
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:08
			sealed.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:14
			Similarly, so the scholars say that this dunya,
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:18
			the Ghalib, the thing that is obvious is
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:22
			the Zahir and the metaphysical, the Batin, is
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:22
			hidden.
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			But in Akhira, it reverses.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			Completely reverses.
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			In Akhira, the Zahir becomes the Ghalib.
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:34
			Sorry, the Batin, the metaphysical becomes the Ghalib.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			It becomes the predominant.
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			And the Zahir takes the secondary stage.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			And that is why when the trumpet is
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			going to be blown, you're going to have
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:47
			people, يُحْشَرُ النَّاسُ عَلَى شَكْلِ ذِئَابٍ There will
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			be people who will be resurrected in the
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			shape of a wolf.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:54
			Those who would steal other people's money, they
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:57
			will be resurrected in the shape of a
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:58
			Nimr, a tiger.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			Those who used to have Kibr, they will,
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:04
			every single state, there's going to be a
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			complete different reflection of that.
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			Which Prophet ﷺ has told us here, you
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:10
			will have the effect of that reality.
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:13
			You will actually see the reality of your
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:14
			actions there.
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			So this is literally a matrix that you're
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:18
			going through.
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			So over here, Allah is like, فِي غِطَاءٍ
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			أَنذِكْرِي That my signs for them to wake
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:25
			up, to see the matrix, to see the
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			reality of what they're going through, they were
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:28
			heedless of it.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			They probably didn't take the right pill.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:32
			Did you get it?
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			You know, you got the pill joke?
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40
			Sometimes my jokes are too deep.
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:46
			You two got it.
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:48
			Okay, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah.
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			Alhamdulillah, we have some.
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:53
			Remember, in matrixes, given the two pills, you
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:54
			only take the red pill or the blue
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:54
			pill.
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			If you take the right pill, you actually
		
00:23:58 --> 00:23:59
			see the matrix, the reality.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03
			That's the pill of Iman, basically, in the
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:03
			movie.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:05
			For you to be able to see the
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:06
			reality of the world.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			Literally, that's what it is.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			That if you have Iman, you see things
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:11
			the way they're not.
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:13
			You see the Batin.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15
			You see things behind.
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, now
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:26
			He starts and He says, why were they
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:26
			so lost?
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28
			Allah is asking them this question.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:33
			That do the disbelievers, they think, they're going
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:36
			to take people as what?
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39
			As awliya, as lords?
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			Instead of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			'la, you're going to take people, you're going
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:46
			to place people in the place of lordship
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la?
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:47
			What's wrong with you?
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:56
			And, remember, If they choose that path, no
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			problem, but remember, this is like a mockery
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:01
			over here, Allah is saying, and we have
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			prepared a beautiful accommodation.
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:09
			Inna a'tadna, we have prepared jahannam, we have
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:14
			adorned jahannam lilkaafireena, for the kafir, nuzulan, a
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			place of beautiful accommodation.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:20
			Back in the old days, fanadiq, funduq in
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			the Arab world, they were called what?
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			Nuzul.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27
			If you go back in the 80s and
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
			look at the pictures in the 80s and
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:32
			the 70s, around Makkah, if you say, it
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:32
			doesn't say funduq.
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			It says nuzul.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:38
			Nuzul were hospitality centers.
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			So Allah is like, we have prepared for
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:45
			these kafir, jahannam lilkaafireena, nuzulan.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:49
			And over here, it's like a subtle mockery
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:52
			here, that don't worry, we've got you covered.
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			You'll have a very good accommodation in jahannam
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:54
			for you.
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			Go ahead and carry on doing this in
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:57
			life.
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:02
			Then Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04
			tries to talk to us.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			Allah is like, O Prophet of Allah, tell
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:08
			them.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:14
			Say, O Prophet, hal nunabbi'ukum bilakhsireena a'mala?
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:19
			Shall we inform you of the one who
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:22
			will lose most of his deeds?
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:25
			See, there is something khasir, who's a loser.
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:27
			Akhsar, who lost everything.
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:30
			Shall I tell you of somebody?
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:32
			Akhsareena a'mala.
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:33
			Bilakhsareena a'mala.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			The one who has lost everything, all of
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:37
			his actions.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			Majority of it is lost.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:42
			Majority of it.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:47
			Who are these?
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:53
			There are five different tafsirs of who are
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:53
			these people.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:56
			Who are these akhsareena a'mala?
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:01
			Number one, ahaduha annahum qassiseen walruhban.
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:04
			These are the priests and the rabbis.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:10
			Because their belief systems, they think they're doing
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
			something really sacred and great.
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:13
			They're serving the deen.
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16
			And see, this is the soul.
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			If you think about it, so many times,
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:22
			people will do things and justify it using
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:26
			ayat, using hadith.
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28
			And in their minds, they're doing something great.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:35
			Do you remember the guy who killed, who
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			murdered Ali radiyallahu anhu?
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37
			I forgot his name.
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:40
			He was in the mihrab, in his house.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			He enters, right?
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:46
			And he's killing Ali radiyallahu anhu.
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:49
			And at the time he's killing Ali radiyallahu
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			anhu, he's using ayat of the Qur'an
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:55
			to justify his killing of Ali radiyallahu anhu.
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:03
			He's reciting ayat of the Qur'an that
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:05
			I am doing ihya of deen by killing
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			Ali radiyallahu anhu.
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:10
			So it's not a new thing when we
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:13
			see people who justify their wrong behaviors or
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:18
			they justify an evil action with some hadith,
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:19
			oh, we're trying to protect.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:22
			Well, you're not the first one.
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:25
			Usman radiyallahu anhu was killed.
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:26
			Ali radiyallahu anhu was killed.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:28
			Hussain radiyallahu anhu.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			All of these people were killed, what?
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:32
			By Muslims who were trying to protect.
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			This is not something new for us.
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:41
			So utilizing deen for your own nafs and
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			agenda is not something new.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:45
			We're well-known about this.
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			We've seen it from the time of Rasulullah
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:48
			salallahu alaihi wa sallam till today.
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:54
			The qawarij, at the time of Rasulullah salallahu
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:54
			alaihi wa sallam, right?
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:54
			Qawarij.
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			So number one is qassiseen.
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:59
			The first qawl is that these are qassiseen.
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			This is what Ali radiyallahu anhu used to
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:01
			say.
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:04
			That this ayah is talking about the religious
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			leaders of the Jews and the Christians.
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, he used to say,
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:12
			these are al-katiboon, al-yahood, wal-nasara.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:15
			Al-kitabiyoon, people who write the books.
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:18
			Who know this is wrong.
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:21
			Who do tahreef.
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:22
			Who delete and omit.
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:26
			Those writers of the Bible and the Torah,
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:27
			these are the ones.
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:33
			Number three, and this is Ali radiyallahu anhu's
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:34
			qawl, no wonder.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:36
			He says these are the qawarij.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:38
			At his time.
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:43
			They left, they said we're not going to
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:43
			follow Ali.
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:47
			Ali radiyallahu anhu did not take revenge of
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			Uthman radiyallahu anhu's blood money.
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:51
			And he did not take revenge.
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:52
			Hence we are not with him.
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			And the general meaning of it, number four
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:01
			is hum ahlul hawa.
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:02
			These are the people of desires.
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:09
			They will justify anything or any of their
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:10
			desires by using the Qur'an.
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:13
			Anything.
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:18
			Example of that, I met a person who
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:21
			identified himself as a Muslim.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:25
			And he said, I can prove to you.
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:32
			I can prove to you that having same
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			gender relationship is in the Qur'an.
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:37
			I was just intrigued.
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:38
			I was like, yalla, bismillah, let's do this.
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:46
			So he said, He raised both of his
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:46
			fathers.
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:48
			It's in the Qur'an.
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:52
			And I was just like, oh my, this
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:53
			guy is such ahmak.
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:55
			Like he does not know basic Arabic.
		
00:30:56 --> 00:31:02
			In Arabic context, they will drop the feminine
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:06
			noun and the masculine noun will prevail and
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:09
			it will go over even both.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:10
			For example, qawm.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:12
			Qawm does not mean there is no female
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:13
			in there.
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:15
			Qawm is a masculine noun, but they will
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:15
			do that.
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:17
			It's how the Arabic language is structured.
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:22
			I'm like, subhanAllah, that's the only dalil you
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:22
			have.
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:23
			No, no, he said, I have another one.
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:27
			I said, what is your dalil?
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:33
			He says that when Lut, alayhi salam, he
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:37
			forbade them from doing that, that ayah that
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:40
			Lut, alayhi salam, talks about it, it's more
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:41
			about consensual.
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:47
			Can you look that ayah up?
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:52
			SubhanAllah, I knew it before.
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:54
			When I was talking, the ayah came to
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:56
			me and then another thought came to me.
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			Ha ula'i banati hunna.
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:12
			SubhanAllah, this is going to really annoy me.
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:14
			And I don't have my phone.
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:30
			I don't think this is the ayah.
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:33
			There's another part where basically he tells them
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			that don't do this action.
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:37
			Right?
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:44
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:46
			Anyway, it will come to me.
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:50
			Where they were doing evil actions and then
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:52
			they use that saying, oh, this is what
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:54
			Lut, alayhi salam, is saying about consensual.
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:56
			But if you read the ayah, you continue
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:57
			that ayah, you will actually get to know
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:59
			that if that is the case and if
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:02
			you go with that meaning, that then it
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:04
			is allowed if they were following.
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:06
			It's about the woman.
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:08
			Did you find it?
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:14
			One before that.
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:18
			No, okay.
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:19
			Anyway, it will come to me.
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:23
			So again, using different ayat for your own
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:25
			hawa, your own desire.
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:30
			Like my father-in-law gave me this
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:32
			story in Urdu.
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:33
			Makes a lot.
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:35
			Some maulvis came to them and they said,
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:36
			okay, you know what?
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:39
			Look, the mother wants to take all the
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:40
			inheritance.
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:43
			The mother wants to take all the inheritance.
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:46
			So do something from the Qur'an where
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:48
			the inheritance of the entire mother ends up
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:50
			becoming like for the mother.
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:54
			So he gathers, the Imam Sahib gathers everyone
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:55
			and he says what?
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:58
			He says, he's like, look, in the Qur
		
00:33:58 --> 00:33:59
			'an Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:00
			says, ma kasab.
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:04
			Everything belongs to the mother.
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:06
			If you say this in Urdu, ma kasab
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:08
			in Arabic means something else.
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
			But in Urdu, ma kasab.
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:12
			Everything belongs to the mother.
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:14
			He said, it's in the Qur'an, ma
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:15
			kasab, so you have to give everything to
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:16
			the mother.
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:19
			So this is people who use their desires
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:22
			to justify, use Qur'an to justify whatever
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:23
			they want to do.
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:28
			The fourth opinion, the fifth opinion, is these
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:31
			are the people who do good and they
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:32
			come after you and say, remember, I got
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:33
			you the job.
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:34
			Remember?
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:36
			When you were seeking the job, now it's
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:37
			your turn to pay back the favor.
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:39
			Ya munnu ala sh-shaqs.
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:40
			I did this to you, remember?
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			Now it's your turn to pay back.
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:47
			And then there's a sixth possible meaning that
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:48
			these are the munafiqoon.
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:55
			These are people who are munafiqoon amali, not
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:55
			itiqadi.
		
00:34:57 --> 00:35:01
			They're true believers, but their a'mal, in their
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:02
			actions, there is nifaq.
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:04
			So they're Muslims.
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:05
			They're not itiqadi.
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:08
			They're not faking their Islam.
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:10
			They are Muslims, but in their actions, they
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:12
			have constant nifaq.
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:14
			May Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:17
			protect from all of this, protect us from
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:18
			this.
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:21
			Then, Allatheena dhalla sa'yuhum.
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:22
			These are losers.
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:23
			Why?
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:26
			Because Allah says, Allatheena dhalla sa'yuhum.
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:29
			These are the ones, all of their efforts
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:31
			have gone to it.
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:34
			Fil hayati al-dunya.
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:36
			Anything they did in this world, sabzaya.
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:38
			Everything has gone to it.
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:39
			kullu shay.
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:43
			Wahum yahsabuna annahum yuhsinoona sunnaha.
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:45
			In their minds, they believe like, oh, I'm
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:46
			doing something really pious and great.
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:49
			I'm doing something so pious and great.
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:52
			And in their minds, they're building a palace
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:53
			of piety.
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:56
			But in reality, Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:59
			-A'la is like, again, remember, these images
		
00:35:59 --> 00:35:59
			keep coming.
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:01
			Reality is something else.
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:04
			The metaphysical reality is something else.
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:05
			Allah is like, Allatheena dhalla sa'yuhum fil
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:06
			hayati al-dunya.
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:09
			They were thinking they're collecting good, but in
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:11
			reality, everything was a net zero for them.
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:14
			Or net negative.
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:20
			Jabir ibn Abdullah radiAllahu anhu says, balaghani hadeesan
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:23
			rajulin samia'u min rasoolillahi salallahu alayhi wa
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:23
			sallam.
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:25
			What's the hadees?
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:33
			Ahbabtu allaa amuta aw yamut huwa hatta asma
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:34
			'uhu min.
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:38
			So I heard that there's a hadees.
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:42
			This person has heard a hadees, and I,
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:45
			he's saying Jabir ibn Abdullah, I heard that
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:49
			somebody knows of a hadees, and I have
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:50
			not heard this hadees.
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:54
			So I made a determined plan that I'm
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:56
			not going to die until I go and
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:57
			get this hadees from this person.
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:02
			So this is something really interesting.
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:05
			For one hadees, fasirtu ilayhi shahran.
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:07
			I took a camel.
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:11
			I took a camel.
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:13
			Ba'eeran.
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:14
			A'eeh?
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:17
			Ishtaraytu ba'eeran thumma shadattu alayhi rahli I
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:18
			bought a camel.
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:20
			I prepared my one month long journey.
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:23
			And then I went, head off.
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:25
			Somebody told me he's in that city.
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:28
			Imagine, this is not like, hey, if we're
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:30
			going to like, you know, taking a flight.
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:33
			He is traveling for a month on a
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:36
			report that has come to me that this
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:38
			person seems to have had a hadees that
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:40
			he says nobody else knows this hadees other
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:41
			than him.
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:43
			So Jabir ibn Abdullah travels all the way
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:44
			to get to him.
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:49
			Fasirtu shahran hatta qadeemtu alayhi sham Until I
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:51
			came to Levant area, Sham, Syria.
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:57
			Fa'idh Abdullah ibn Unais This person is
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:59
			nothing, no one, but Abdullah ibn Unais, we
		
00:37:59 --> 00:37:59
			know him.
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:02
			He's like, oh, it's Abdullah.
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:09
			Fa kharaja ibn Unais yata'u thawbahu He
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:12
			comes out and his thawb was still hanging.
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:13
			You know, he was wearing a loose cloth.
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:16
			So I saw him, he saw me.
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:18
			Fa a'tanaqna, we hugged each other.
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:19
			We're like, oh, where have you been?
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:20
			Like, because that tells you they knew each
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:22
			other so well.
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:24
			Wa a'tanaqtuhu, and I also hugged him hard.
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:25
			Like, you know, where have you been?
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:33
			Fa qultu Jabir ibn Abdullah Balaghani annak I
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:35
			heard about you.
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:39
			Annaka sama'atahu min Rasool Allah sallallahu alayhi
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:43
			wa sallam hadeesan Qala naam, inni sama'at
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:44
			I heard.
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:50
			Inna Allaha yunadi yawmal qiyama Ya mala'ikati
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:53
			On the day of judgment, Allah Subhanahu wa
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:54
			ta'ala is going to talk to the
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:55
			angels.
		
00:38:57 --> 00:38:59
			Ya mala'ikati, oh my angels.
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:03
			Anna al-malik, I am the king.
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:07
			Anna al-dayyan, I am the settler of
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:07
			deaths.
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:11
			Wala yanbaghi li ahad min ahl al-naar
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:15
			yadkhula al-naara Wala huu inda ahad min
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:20
			ahl al-jannah haqqun A person cannot enter
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:22
			ahl al-naar.
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:24
			A person is destined to hellfire.
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:27
			And that person who is destined to hellfire
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:31
			has some haqq on the person who is
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:32
			destined to jannah.
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:39
			Yadkhula al-naara wala huu indahu ahad min
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:43
			ahl al-jannah haqqun hattaa aqussuha minhu Until
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:44
			I will settle their debts.
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:48
			Wala yanbaghi li ahad min ahl al-jannah
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:51
			yadkhula al-jannah And it is not possible
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:53
			for anyone to enter jannah.
		
00:39:57 --> 00:40:01
			And the person entering naar, he has some
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:01
			debts.
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:04
			So debts of both sides are going to
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:05
			be settled.
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:11
			Hattal laqmata Even if that person kind of
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:13
			like ahl al-jannah, he is destined to
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:16
			jannah but he had slapped an ahl al
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:16
			-naar.
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:19
			That slap will also be recovered.
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:23
			Like you hit him and now on the
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:24
			day he is like he hit me.
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:28
			This person entering, he is destined to hellfire.
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:32
			But even that person is going to be
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:36
			taken account of.
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:39
			And this is where the hadith comes in.
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:45
			The person who hit, he is now destined
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:45
			to jannah.
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:48
			Alhamdulillah his actions turned out to be well.
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:51
			But in the process he hurt somebody who
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:52
			was destined to hellfire.
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:55
			Even that amal of the person of ahl
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:56
			al-jannah will be taken account for.
		
00:40:56 --> 00:40:59
			I mean he will still enter jannah but
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:01
			you will have to pay for that debt.
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:03
			From ahl al-naar, I mean think about
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:03
			it.
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:05
			Why would you want to settle the debt
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:06
			with ahl al-naar?
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:08
			They are already going destined.
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:11
			He is going to go into hellfire.
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:14
			But even the person going into hellfire, he
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:16
			will get all the rights to be able
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:18
			to settle his debts from the person of
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:18
			jannah.
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:23
			Even the non-Muslims.
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:28
			This is even more like ahl al-naar.
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:34
			They are going to, may Allah help us.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:40
			Why did this all happen?
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:43
			Why did they have no weight on their
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:43
			amal?
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:50
			They rejected the ayat.
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:51
			Two meanings.
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:53
			i.e. the physical verses that we read.
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:57
			Or they see the signs of Allah and
		
00:41:57 --> 00:41:58
			they say, how is that?
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:00
			I don't want to believe in a creator.
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:02
			I don't want to believe in a creator.
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:09
			There was a person, we were having a
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:12
			conversation and we said, do you believe that
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:14
			this cake or these cookies were made on
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:15
			their own?
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:16
			No, no, no.
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:18
			The cookies have to have a baker.
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:19
			Where did you see the baker?
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:21
			Did you see the baker cooking?
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:21
			No.
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:23
			But you believe in it.
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:25
			And you're not going to believe the opposite
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:25
			of it.
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:27
			You're not going to say the cookies just
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:28
			miraculously appeared here.
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:32
			You must believe logically that there was a
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:32
			baker.
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:35
			Then how can you believe that the entire
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:36
			universe was created without a creator?
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:38
			You can't even believe about that for the
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:40
			cookie that you're having in front of you.
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:42
			And he was like, oh yeah, you're right.
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:43
			That's a very good point.
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:45
			So sometimes such simplest things.
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:46
			But why?
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:49
			Ula'ika allatheena kafaru bi-ayati rabbihim.
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:52
			These are people who believe that they're doing
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:54
			really good, but kafaru bi-ayat.
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:55
			They see signs.
		
00:42:55 --> 00:42:56
			All the signs.
		
00:42:57 --> 00:42:57
			Right?
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:01
			I realize this personally, and many of the
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:03
			shuyukh have actually spoken about this, is that
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:06
			when you go snorkeling, have you ever been
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:12
			snorkeling or scuba diving by the coral reefs?
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:16
			That's where you actually realize Allah SWT exists.
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:21
			It's like it screams that Allah is there.
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:24
			There's no way this ecosystem can exist.
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:30
			It's just such beautiful color, coordination, order, fish
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:31
			going in, out.
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:32
			And you know one of the best places
		
00:43:32 --> 00:43:34
			to snorkel is when you go for umrah.
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:38
			If your tour guides let you go do
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:38
			that.
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:40
			You take a bus up all the way
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:40
			to Haqqal.
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:43
			And because Haqqal does not have tourism until
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:49
			now, those corals were pristine, untouched.
		
00:43:50 --> 00:43:51
			Nobody snorkels there.
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:54
			So you actually get to see the ecosystem.
		
00:43:54 --> 00:43:57
			It's just something you cannot describe by words.
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:01
			And when you see that, and you realize
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:04
			how can somebody who's snorkeling and seeing all
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:07
			of this can deny that there's no creator.
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:10
			How come all these scientists who study the
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:12
			ocean for years and years cannot come to
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:13
			this conclusion?
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:16
			How much delusion do you have to be
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:17
			in?
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:20
			الذين كفروا بآيات ربهم Remember the meaning of
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:21
			kafaroo, we talked about it.
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:23
			That you got to know it and then
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:24
			you hid it.
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:28
			Kafir is something that covers.
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:30
			A farmer is called a kafir.
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:31
			He covers.
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:33
			He covers something.
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:37
			Similarly, the sea, the ocean is also called
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:37
			a kafir.
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:40
			It conceals that which is inside of it.
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:43
			So kafir is a person, this person got
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:45
			to know that this is the truth.
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:47
			He's like, it's too inconvenient for me to
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:48
			change my life.
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:51
			So I will just put that aside.
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:54
			And I will carry on perpetuating the belief
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:57
			that this was created miraculously by Mother Nature.
		
00:44:59 --> 00:45:04
			فحبطت كفروا بآيات ربهم ولقائه The second thing
		
00:45:04 --> 00:45:06
			they did is they got to this realization,
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:08
			we're going to meet Allah.
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:10
			We are going to meet Allah.
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:13
			But they're like, yeah, no, no, we don't
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:14
			want to talk about that.
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:17
			There's no proof for life after death.
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:20
			So we're not going to talk about that.
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:21
			It's much easier.
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:27
			فحبطت أعمالهم فلا نقيم لهم يوم القيامة وزنًا
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:31
			These are the people, all of their actions.
		
00:45:31 --> 00:45:33
			And this is where a lot of times
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:37
			Muslims, especially if they've not studied aqidah, they
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:38
			find this very, very hard to believe.
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:43
			Oh, are you telling me Mother Teresa is
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:44
			going to hellfire?
		
00:45:45 --> 00:45:47
			Are you telling me so and so, all
		
00:45:47 --> 00:45:48
			the good people that have done good in
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:49
			this dunya?
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:54
			Remember, in our belief systems, Allah does not
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:57
			let those people die in this world, except
		
00:45:57 --> 00:45:58
			Allah has paid their debt in this world.
		
00:45:58 --> 00:46:01
			خلاص, what they owe to Allah, they got
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:02
			in this world.
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:05
			You will get this world.
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:07
			Before you leave this world, you have nothing
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:10
			you owe to Allah on the Day of
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:11
			Judgment.
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:14
			They cannot come and say, no, no, ya
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:16
			Allah, we owe you this thing, and you
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:17
			didn't pay our debt back.
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:20
			Because all the ni'mahs and bounties they were
		
00:46:20 --> 00:46:21
			given in this world, even though they were
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:23
			disbelievers, they were given all these bounties so
		
00:46:23 --> 00:46:25
			that they have no haqq on Allah on
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:25
			the Day of Judgment.
		
00:46:26 --> 00:46:28
			And the fact that they died other than
		
00:46:28 --> 00:46:30
			la ilaha illallah, they will have no haqq.
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:31
			But this is hard for people to believe,
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:32
			how is that?
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:36
			Oh, this person, he did so much khair,
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:37
			you're telling me he's going to go into
		
00:46:37 --> 00:46:37
			hellfire?
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:39
			Yes.
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:45
			Exclusivity of salvation belongs to those who believe
		
00:46:45 --> 00:46:47
			in la ilaha illallah, Muhammadur Rasulullah.
		
00:46:47 --> 00:46:50
			This is not just my belief, not just
		
00:46:50 --> 00:46:51
			Islam's belief.
		
00:46:52 --> 00:46:53
			Christians say the same.
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:56
			The Jewish people say the same.
		
00:46:56 --> 00:46:57
			Gentiles, why do you have the whole concept
		
00:46:57 --> 00:46:58
			of Gentiles?
		
00:46:58 --> 00:46:59
			You're not making it the Jannah.
		
00:47:02 --> 00:47:03
			Anybody other than Jews are Gentiles.
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:05
			You're not making it.
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:06
			We can do whatever we want with you.
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:08
			You're so not even worthy.
		
00:47:08 --> 00:47:09
			And that's why they're killing all of that,
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:11
			what's happening right now.
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:12
			That belief system is permeating.
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:14
			Oh, these are Gentiles, we can do whatever
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:14
			we want with them.
		
00:47:20 --> 00:47:21
			...
		
00:47:23 --> 00:47:26
			Whoever chooses other than Islam as a deen,
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:30
			that person on the day of judgment is
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:31
			going to be from the losers.
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:34
			...
		
00:47:35 --> 00:47:37
			It will not be accepted from him, that
		
00:47:37 --> 00:47:39
			other deen, and then they will be from
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:40
			losers in the Akhirah.
		
00:47:40 --> 00:47:41
			...
		
00:47:43 --> 00:47:45
			This ayah, ...
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:49
			The Mufassiroon, they've explained this four different ways.
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:53
			Number one, why their Amal is going to
		
00:47:53 --> 00:47:54
			have no weight?
		
00:47:58 --> 00:48:00
			That no matter whatever good they did, they
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:05
			committed one of the greatest Maasiyah, sin, Shirk.
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:09
			And because of the Shirk, everything, the weight
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:11
			of that Shirk was so high, they will
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:12
			have no weight.
		
00:48:12 --> 00:48:14
			Number two, ...
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:24
			Second, they were ignorant about this.
		
00:48:24 --> 00:48:26
			And lack of ignorance led them to have
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:29
			their Amal they did, have no weight.
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:35
			Number four, their sins took away the weight
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:36
			of the good deeds.
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:39
			They did good deeds, they did sins, right
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:40
			after that, all of the weight of the
		
00:48:40 --> 00:48:41
			good deeds was gone.
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:48
			And the fourth one, that all of the
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:52
			good deeds of a Kafir person, ...
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:59
			No matter what good deeds you do, all
		
00:48:59 --> 00:49:01
			of your good deeds, they become zero if
		
00:49:01 --> 00:49:01
			you become a Kafir.
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:03
			We know that in our belief systems.
		
00:49:06 --> 00:49:09
			So this will be, as Ibn Al-Qayyim
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:11
			says, ...
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:15
			This is going to be against them.
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:18
			All their good deeds will actually not work
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:20
			in their favor, it will work against their
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:20
			favor.
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:23
			That I gave you all these opportunities to
		
00:49:23 --> 00:49:25
			do good, yet you could not find me?
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:27
			Ajeeb.
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:34
			Then Allah says, how many ayahs do we
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:34
			have?
		
00:49:37 --> 00:49:39
			Six more ayahs.
		
00:49:48 --> 00:49:49
			You know, I don't want to skip this,
		
00:49:49 --> 00:49:51
			because over there we also have the whole
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:53
			description of Jannatul Firdaus.
		
00:49:53 --> 00:49:55
			I have two and a half pages of
		
00:49:55 --> 00:49:58
			notes on what Jannatul Firdaus and stuff.
		
00:49:58 --> 00:50:00
			So if we do that, we'll probably end
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:02
			up going further, as you said.
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:05
			So I think I'll stop over here.
		
00:50:05 --> 00:50:07
			We will start back next week.
		
00:50:07 --> 00:50:09
			Next week is definitely going to be the
		
00:50:09 --> 00:50:09
			last.
		
00:50:10 --> 00:50:11
			Yeah, next week we'll finish, InshaAllah.
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:14
			We'll start from ...
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:17
			Where is it?
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:17
			...
		
00:50:19 --> 00:50:20
			Jahannam.
		
00:50:20 --> 00:50:24
			So we'll start from that, InshaAllah, ayah number
		
00:50:24 --> 00:50:24
			106.
		
00:50:25 --> 00:50:26
			And we'll go all the way from ayah
		
00:50:26 --> 00:50:29
			number 106 to ayah number 110, InshaAllah ta
		
00:50:29 --> 00:50:29
			'ala.
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:32
			Do you guys have any questions about this?
		
00:50:34 --> 00:50:35
			...
		
00:50:38 --> 00:50:41
			Okay, what do you ...
		
00:50:41 --> 00:50:43
			Heaven, *?
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:44
			...
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:48
			Qursi and Arsh, Qalam and Ruh.
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:50
			...
		
00:50:52 --> 00:50:53
			...
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:55
			Jannah, Jahannam.
		
00:50:56 --> 00:50:57
			You got the Ruh?
		
00:50:58 --> 00:50:59
			...
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:00
			What are six?
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:01
			...
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:03
			You tell me.
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:06
			...
		
00:51:06 --> 00:51:10
			And the Qalam.
		
00:51:13 --> 00:51:14
			...
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:14
			Okay, so Qalam.
		
00:51:15 --> 00:51:16
			Ruh.
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:19
			Jannah, Jahannam.
		
00:51:20 --> 00:51:21
			Arsh.
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:22
			Qursi.
		
00:51:23 --> 00:51:24
			And Sikram.
		
00:51:25 --> 00:51:27
			Oh, what's number eight?
		
00:51:28 --> 00:51:29
			No, Sikram.
		
00:51:29 --> 00:51:31
			No, no, no, I'll tell you.
		
00:51:35 --> 00:51:36
			Meezan.
		
00:51:36 --> 00:51:37
			Meezan.
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:40
			Meezan, yeah, you're right.
		
00:51:40 --> 00:51:41
			Like, what's number eight?
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:43
			Yeah, it's the Meezan.
		
00:51:44 --> 00:51:46
			The Meezan, the scale.
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:50
			That once they were created, they will not
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:50
			be.
		
00:51:52 --> 00:51:53
			Tayyib, InshaAllah.
		
00:51:53 --> 00:51:54
			May Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:57
			give us the tawfiq to reach Ramadan, InshaAllah.
		
00:51:58 --> 00:51:58
			...
		
00:52:08 --> 00:52:10
			Oh Allah, grant us the ability to truly
		
00:52:10 --> 00:52:11
			understand the Qur'an.
		
00:52:12 --> 00:52:13
			Allow us to truly connect with the message
		
00:52:13 --> 00:52:14
			of the Qur'an.
		
00:52:15 --> 00:52:16
			Give us the tawfiq to recite the Qur
		
00:52:16 --> 00:52:18
			'an day and night.
		
00:52:18 --> 00:52:20
			Give us the ability to stay connected with
		
00:52:20 --> 00:52:20
			it.
		
00:52:20 --> 00:52:22
			Oh Allah, Ramadan is around the corner.
		
00:52:22 --> 00:52:25
			Allow us to witness this year's Ramadan.
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:27
			Oh Allah, make us from those who get
		
00:52:27 --> 00:52:29
			to benefit from this Ramadan.
		
00:52:29 --> 00:52:32
			And allow us the ramp up energy so
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:34
			we can benefit the most from this month.
		
00:52:34 --> 00:52:36
			Oh Allah, make Sha'ban the best Sha
		
00:52:36 --> 00:52:39
			'ban for us so this will allow us
		
00:52:39 --> 00:52:40
			to have the best Ramadan.
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:42
			Oh Allah, give us the ability to forgive
		
00:52:42 --> 00:52:45
			all that we hold grudges in our hearts
		
00:52:46 --> 00:52:48
			as the 15th of Sha'ban is around
		
00:52:48 --> 00:52:50
			the corner and our sins are going to,
		
00:52:50 --> 00:52:52
			our a'mal are going to be resurrected in
		
00:52:52 --> 00:52:53
			an annual ascension.
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:55
			Oh Allah, allow us to forgive those people
		
00:52:55 --> 00:52:57
			so that our a'mal are ascended to You
		
00:52:57 --> 00:52:58
			and You accept from us.
		
00:52:59 --> 00:53:00
			Oh Allah, make this month of Sha'ban
		
00:53:00 --> 00:53:03
			a month of fasting, a month of dhikr,
		
00:53:03 --> 00:53:05
			a month of remembrance, a month of extra
		
00:53:05 --> 00:53:09
			devotion so we are able to emotionally, spiritually,
		
00:53:09 --> 00:53:10
			and physically prepare for Ramadan.
		
00:53:11 --> 00:53:13
			And let this Ramadan be the best Ramadan
		
00:53:13 --> 00:53:13
			for us.
		
00:53:15 --> 00:53:17
			Allow us to read the most Qur'an
		
00:53:17 --> 00:53:18
			that we have ever read in any of
		
00:53:18 --> 00:53:19
			the Ramadans of our past.
		
00:53:19 --> 00:53:22
			And allow this Ramadan to be the best
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:25
			Ramadan in our ibadah and devotions and allow
		
00:53:25 --> 00:53:27
			us to truly worship You with the haq
		
00:53:27 --> 00:53:30
			that You deserve although we are incapable of
		
00:53:30 --> 00:53:31
			that.
		
00:53:31 --> 00:53:34
			And accept from us our feeble ibadat, our
		
00:53:34 --> 00:53:37
			weak ibadat, and allow us to truly, truly
		
00:53:37 --> 00:53:41
			become one with the message of Qur'an
		
00:53:41 --> 00:53:43
			and allow us to truly fill our hearts
		
00:53:43 --> 00:53:45
			with the love of Nabi Muhammad ﷺ.
		
00:53:45 --> 00:53:48
			A love of such nature that permeates and
