Bismillah, Bismillah, Bismillah So you restarted the stream?
I have to restart.
Okay.
Alright.
So we're going to start with, inshallah, verse
number 17.
Can you hear now?
Okay.
Anybody, if you're on YouTube and if you
can hear me, please...
We're good, we're good.
Okay.
So we're going to start with verse number
17 and we're going to start extrapolating.
We said 43 amthal in the Qur'an.
There are 43 parables in the Qur'an.
And these parables can be either haqiqi or
majaz.
I.e. they can be actual individuals and
the example is made out of them.
Or the example is figurative.
I.e. it's there and we really don't
know.
It's an example for us to actually understand
the reality of things.
Allah gives them the example and this is
the example of two types of people.
Over here.
One, that they realized, oh, you know what,
it's a nice trend, let's follow.
Let's become Muslims.
And they then had a change of heart
and they're like, ah, you know what, no,
this is too hard.
I'm just going to walk away.
And there were those who are indifferent.
So they are just like, I don't know,
we'll just be here and we'll tag along.
We really don't have full conviction in what
is happening.
Neither do we care.
We're not going to say yes.
We're not going to stay.
We're going to stay in the middle.
Neither are they real munafiqs.
So this is the example of those two
individuals.
So Allah starts off.
He says, masaluhum, the example of who?
Who is masaluhum?
The one, ulaika allatheena sharawut dalalata bilhuda.
These are the people who bartered hidayah.
They took misguidance instead of hidayah.
Hidayah came to them.
But they're like, no, no, no, I'm going
to choose misguidance.
Or Islam came to them.
The way of Allah came to them.
But they said, no, no, no, it's okay.
It's easier not to follow.
So they bartered.
They exchanged.
In exchange of guidance, they took misguidance.
Fama rabihat tijaratuhum.
Their barter, their trade was not profit.
It was profitless.
Wama kanu muhtadeen.
And Allah is like, they were not supposed
to be guided.
Or they were not rightly guided.
Now Allah begins.
Masailuhum.
These people who made this exchange.
Guidance.
Do we know such individuals?
We know.
We know so many individuals.
They were born in Islam.
But they opted out not to practice.
We know so many of such people.
And we also know people who were amongst
the Muslims.
Like mustashrikeen.
The orientalists.
They know more Islam than you and I.
They study Islam.
They know Arabic language.
Lane's Lexicon.
Haynes Lane's Lexicon.
It's the best dictionary ever.
All the understanding of Arabic language that you
and I can ever imagine.
We can't even dream of.
And to that level, the person, indifferent.
But this is a person.
They got hidayah.
They understood.
But they chose dalalah.
They're like, no, I'm very comfortable with what
I am.
Masailuhum.
Their example is kamathalilladhistawqadana.
Their example is of a person, allathee, the
one, istawqada, that lit.
Awqada comes from wuqud.
The actual word was awqada.
The actual word is awqada.
Just like ashara.
But then we sometimes say istashara.
Istawqada.
Whenever the Arabs, they want to create emphasis
into a word, they add extra words to
it.
That are not necessarily, the only purpose of
those words is to intensify the meaning.
So this istawqada is actually the addition.
So this creates an emphasis that they really
strived hard to kindle a fire.
That's one meaning of istawqada.
The second way to understand istawqada is that
istawqada hum istasqa.
Istasqa is to ask for water from someone
else.
So istasqa, from the same way, istawqada, they
did not have fire, but they found somewhere
some fire, which is what, from Prophet ﷺ
and from the believers, they got that fire,
they got that light, the nur.
Istawqada naran.
La ilaha, oh this is Islam.
They borrowed that light.
Istawqada.
So it was something not within them, but
they were amongst the believers, or they would
listen to Prophet ﷺ, and that came to
their lives.
Istawqada naran.
Now that light of iman was lit.
Falamma adhaatma hawlahu.
Everything became very clear, their surroundings became clear
to them.
It became very evident for them what is
right and what is wrong.
Istawqada naran falamma adhaat, and when adhaat, ma
hawlahu.
Ma basically means what, hawl means something that
surrounds you.
Zahaba Allahu bi nurihin.
Zahaba, Allah took.
Zahaba Allahu, Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
'la.
It's Zahaba Allahu, right?
Yeah, there's a mistake here.
Zahaba Allahu.
Anyhow.
The Mus'haf that I'm reading from.
Yeah, I'm just trying to see if it's
me or is it my eyesight or am
I getting old?
Yeah, it says Zahaba Allahu.
So it's Zahaba Allahu.
Huh?
Yeah.
So Zahaba Allahu, Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
-A'la took bi nurihin, their light.
Okay?
Now, wa tarakahum, and Allah left them fi
dhulumatin, in the darkness.
La yubsiroon, they do not see.
So here's what happens.
They got momentary iman.
Everything became very clear to them.
They could see things.
Okay?
But they were not really true with their
iman.
They were pretending to be Muslims.
They were just there because it was nice
to be believers.
So when did Allah take their light?
There are two aqwal of the Salaf.
One is that their light was taken in
this dunya.
So in the dunya, Allah misguided.
Allah took away their light.
And there are some people like, oh, if
Allah took away the light, what's their fault?
No, no.
They never entered with submission.
This was a person who borrowed light, and
he never allowed the light to penetrate him.
He's just like, he was in the environment.
So he's like, oh, can I borrow some
light?
And then Allah is like, oh, you really
did not.
This is a munafiq.
Remember.
Ishtarawut dhalalata.
Right?
They took.
Ishtarawut dhalalata bil huda.
They took misguidance instead of guidance.
So that, the fact that they were amongst
the Muslims, they benefited a little bit.
Okay?
Now, what is this nar, istawqad naran?
There's different aqwals.
One is that just being in the company
of Muslims, they benefited.
Number two, the fact that they said, la
ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah.
Allah, within the Muslim community, their money, their
life, their family, everything became sacred.
Even though they were munafiqs.
So they benefited from that life.
Then, what happens?
Zahaballahu binurihim, i.e. either in this dunya,
they were led to be misguided, or when
they came into akhira.
They lived, pretended to be a Muslim, but
when they came in the grave, this is
where they bring this hadith.
That, when the angel is going to come,
and he's going to say, man rabbuk, dinuk,
mada taqulu fi hadha?
La adli, la adli, la adli, la adli.
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know.
That's where this is going to be.
Zahaballahu binurihim.
He died as a Muslim.
He was buried as a Muslim.
And this happened to so many of us
who are Muslims.
We die as a Muslim, buried as a
Muslim, but we really don't know who Allah
is.
We never figured it out.
Zahaballahu binurihim, Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
'la took their nur.
Notice how, then Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
-A'la says, Watarakahum fi dhulumatin.
In the grave, we have darkness.
Allah is like, and Allah left them in
the darkness of the grave.
That's one meaning.
Or, dhulumat, the darknesses of this dunya.
So a person of such nature, they don't
have felicity, they don't have happiness.
They are in total anxiety, constant depression.
One thing after the other, one thing after
the other.
All of that leads them to sadness, depression,
one darkness after the other.
And that is why today, what we see
today, that so much of anxiety, so much
of depression.
It's all because of our dissonance from this
deen.
It is from dissonance, that we're so far
away from this light.
And that is why we're feeling all of
this darkness.
Now, there's a lot of learning here.
Watarakahum fi dhulumat, Allah left them in the
darknesses.
La yubsiroon, they're not able to see, unable
to see.
Now, there's a lot of subtleties that we
need to allude to over here.
Okay, so number one, fire,
right?
Naar, fire has two elements.
It has light and it has what?
Heat, okay?
Heat.
So when Allah says, Zahaballahu binoorihim, from the
fire, Allah took the light.
What is left?
The heat, right?
So that's the first meaning that we have
to understand here.
That, hurqatihim, that they are burning from inside.
They no longer have iman.
But the entire life that they're living in,
is just nothing but heat.
Number two, naar, sorry, Allah Subhanahu wa ta
'ala says, Zahaballahu binoorihim, Allah took their light.
Noor is what over here, singular or plural?
The noor over here, do you think it's
singular or plural over here?
Noor.
Huh?
Plural?
How?
Noor, noor.
Is the word noor singular or plural?
Singular.
Him is there.
Noor.
What is the plural of noor?
Noorain is two.
Anwar.
Okay?
Anwar, rawdatul anwar.
So, noor is one.
Opposite of noor is what?
In the ayah, opposite of noor is what?
Sulumat, is it plural or?
Plural.
So, the guidance from Allah Subhanahu wa ta
'ala is one.
And that is denoted by the word noor
here.
That the singular path that they needed to
tread upon, that was taken away from them.
Because guidance is one.
The guidance is one.
As for zulumat, as for misguidances, there are
tons of misguidances.
There is misguidance of belief.
There is misguidance of practices.
There is misguidance of fitrah.
There is like all the types of misguidances.
Okay?
So, this actually indicates a really painful reality
for them, right?
That they were in such a state that
they were this close to being Muslims.
Or, they were born as Muslims and they
were this close to Islam, but they chose
misguidance over guidance.
Right?
SubhanAllah, yesterday on the way back, we brought
some people from the class to our home.
And they had to come for something.
And when we were back, it was really
interesting.
On the way back, we actually saw over,
like the entire road was blocked right in
front of my house.
Because all the people from that Wednesday Bible
Halaqah, they were leaving.
Right?
And I said to myself, InshaAllah, one day
our masjid will be filled for Quran Halaqahs
like that.
Because to be able to see 200, 300
cars, all expensive cars, all showing up for
Bible study on Wednesday.
Every Wednesday.
Every week, non-stop.
Because our Wednesday Halaqah is also at the
same time.
So, when we are leaving, we see all
of them going in.
When we are coming back, we see all
of them exiting out.
And it's like a roadblock.
It's just like one car after the other.
One car after the other.
One car after the other.
And it's just phenomenal to see that, A,
they have so much dedication.
But that's why, you know, the recent research
that showed that Muslims amongst all the religious
groups, we read the least our book.
They checked with Mormons and Presbyterians and Baptists
and all Jews and stuff.
We ranked, I think, out of the ten
religious groups that they studied, we ranked like
number nine.
Okay?
Hindus were like last.
Because Hindus is all Adat and culture and
very little scripture.
May Allah help us.
So, over here, obviously these type of subtleties
are all coming from Balaha.
So, usually I don't get into that.
But just so you understand that if you
read the translation, I don't know what it
says in your translation.
Does it say darknesses or darkness?
Darkness.
So, that entire meaning, darknesses.
Okay, that's good.
So, in the translation I have, which is
one version before, it says darkness.
Complete darkness.
And that doesn't give the actual meaning that
was intended by Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
-A'la.
Then Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la
says, سُمٌ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ فَهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ سُم
is very interesting because it's not death.
سُم is a person who is willfully death.
He chooses to be death.
So, he can hear.
They can listen.
But you say to yourself, نَا مَنْ What
I believe, what I learned, that to me
is standard.
I'm going to stick to that.
This is safe.
I will not proceed.
I will not progress.
I will not change.
And this is for the people who are
in Christianity, listening about Islam.
Even people who are in Islam and they
have certain practices.
We heard, one of the students asked me,
Somebody in their house died.
And he's like, Oh yeah, we can't turn
on the stove in our house for three
days.
It was from the kids.
I was just like, Huh?
What?
He's like, Yeah, yeah.
In our house, no cooking for three days.
He's like, This is how we have actually,
Can I connect with your father?
I need to talk.
So, you know, Hey, something happened.
And I heard, you know, A relative of
yours died.
Oh yeah, so and so died.
I heard that you guys, Yeah, this is
Sheikh.
I spoke to my Sheikh.
He said, In India, he said, I have
to, We can't open the, I'm like, Based
on what?
He said, We've been doing this for like,
So long.
Right?
So these practices, Even if I tell the
person, Right?
Alhamdulillah, he was very receptive.
He said, Okay, I'll think about it and
I'll change.
But the fact that we have practices that
we hold on to, And we believe that
this is right.
Willful deafness.
That's what sum is.
Bukum is dumb.
You're not able to speak, Because that's a
consequence of deafness.
Okay?
And um, Remember I said, Amah and Amah.
Amah, Which we read before, Is the, Misguided,
Is the blindness of the heart.
And Amah is the blindness of the eye.
Over here, Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
'la is saying, That they're not able to
even see, What are they not able to
see?
See what?
The fact that they're doing this trade.
The fact that they're sitting right in front
of Islam, And they're not accepting it.
The fact that they're surrounded, The fact that
these people were surrounded by Rasulullah.
And they were not able to see Rasulullah.
They were not able to understand his, Like
we today read his Shamail, And we get
so much reverence.
They were not able to see those Shamail?
No.
Because their eyes, They saw but they didn't
see.
They saw but they didn't see.
And that is why, You know Abu Hanifa,
He has something very powerful.
Um, Imam Muhammad, He was one of his
prime students.
Abu Yusuf Imam Muhammad.
Muhammad Ibn Uman.
So, Um, Imam Muhammad used to come and
study with Abu Hanifa.
His mother would send him to become, An
engineer, And something really, You know, worldly.
And he would escape to Abu Hanifa.
Alhamdulillah, And he would learn Deen from him.
So one day his mother came, Sorry it
was Abu Yusuf.
So, Imam Abu Yusuf, He was sitting there,
And one day, His mother came, And she
screamed at Abu Hanifa.
Screamed at Abu Hanifa.
She said, You are like, Guiding my son,
What are you doing?
Like there's no benefit in this Deen, That
you're teaching him.
And this and that, So Abu Hanifa listened,
And then he said, Ya Balha, Oh stupid
woman.
So Abu Hanifa, He must have like, I
don't know what, That led to a Tabi
'i, Who has, Adab with Sahaba, To tell
this woman.
So he said, Ya Balha, Oh crazy woman,
Oh stupid woman, Innama, Nuallimuhu ilmun, We are
teaching him knowledge, Yaakulu bih, He is going
to be able to, Eat with this knowledge,
Al Faloodaj, Maa Fustuq.
He will be able to eat Falooda, With
Pistachio.
Obviously, Abu Yusuf is like there, He's like,
What is this?
This is where I'm coming to, Ama.
So many, Many years later, He was with,
Harun Rashid.
And he was a special consultant, To Harun
Rashid.
So Harun Rashid, He prepared, Beautiful, Harun Rashid
was known for, Lavish parties.
So he prepared a lavish party, Jahazal Atat,
He prepared everything.
And then, He said to Abu Yusuf, Ya
Abu Yusuf, Kull, Eat.
Ya Abu Yusuf, Eat.
Fahaaza qalla maa nasnaa.
This is very rare, We don't make this
a lot.
Innahu Faloodaj, Bil Fustuq.
This is Falooda, With Fustuq.
So, Abu Yusuf started crying, And he said,
He said his famous statement, He said, Rahimallahu,
Aba Hanifa.
May Allah have mercy on Abu Hanifa.
Innahu Kana, Ya Rabi Aynay Qalbihi.
He was able to see, From the eyes
of his heart, What people are blind, With
their actual eyes.
That he was, He was able to see
things, That, You know, People with real eyes,
Cannot even see.
And that is Amaa.
So, When the power, When our sight, Of
our heart, Which was Amaa, The blindness of
the heart, When that becomes, So filled with
Iman, People are able to see, The reality
of things, In ways that you and I,
Cannot imagine.
And our history is filled, With the scholars,
Mentioning things, Or seeing things, And then, Many
many years later, Imam Shafi'i, Was known
for that.
Imam Shafi'i, He, Stayed with, A group
of people, And he learnt, This knowledge, Of
reading faces.
Imam Shafi'i, Was known for that.
There was this Qabila, That was known, For
being able to look, At the face of
a child, And a baby, And being able
to tell, If that baby is going to
have, A good future or not.
i.e., Are they going to be successful,
Are they going to have resolve, Just by
certain things, And there was an ilm, And
it is mentioned, That he spent two months,
With that tribe, Trying to learn this knowledge.
Right, It's almost lost, I mean, It's not
even there anymore.
So, Amaa, Is that blindness, i.e., You're
physically able to see, But the reality of
things, You're not able to see.
So, Summun, Will fill deafness.
Bukmun, They are dumb.
Umyun, They are blind.
Fahum laa yarji'oon, They are not going
to return.
The word yarji'oon, The root word is,
Raja'a yarji'oo.
And if there is no, Elaborate meanings in
that word, Then I will just, Allude to
the thing.
Do you have something?
Okay.
Then, The next part Allah says, Aw, Amaa,
Blindness of the heart.
Amaa, Blindness of the eye.
Ya'mahoon, We said that.
Fi tughyanihim, Ya'mahoon.
Aw kasayibin, Aw, Or, Ka, This word, Ka,
Is going to come, A lot.
Okay.
What is the meaning of ka?
No.
Oh, yeah.
Yours if it's, Sure, Yours if it comes
in the end.
That's very smart.
Yeah, It's ka if it's, But if it
comes in the beginning, Then?
Like?
Yeah, Like.
Okay.
Ka sayibin, Like, The sayib, The word sayib,
Is a rainstorm.
Okay.
Rainstorm.
Okay.
Minas samaa, This, Rainstorm, Is obviously in the
sky.
And the word samaa, Is from, Samoo.
Okay.
And, We say, Sahibus samoo al malaki, Royal
Highness.
That word Highness, Is samoo.
Royal al malaki.
So, Samoo is something that is high.
And from there comes samaa.
Something that is very high.
Minas samaa, So, Or, Like those, Ka sayibin
minas samaa, They are in a rainstorm, From
the sky.
Feehi dhulumatun.
So, When the rainstorm comes, MashaAllah, People in
Atlanta know this really well.
When the rainstorm comes, It becomes black.
Jet black.
It becomes dark.
Feehi dhulumatun.
So, In that rainstorm, Is darkness.
What else is there in that rainstorm?
Ra'dun, Thunders.
Wabarqun, Lightning.
Okay.
Yaj'aluna asabi'ahum fee azaanihim minas sawa
'iqi hadharal mawt.
They take their asabi'ah, Their fingers, Fee
azaanihim, In their ears, Minas sawa'iqi.
From these thunderclaps.
You know when, Before the lightning, There's a,
That light, Loud sound, That people get a
shake in.
Then you see the lightning.
Right?
So, you see the lightning.
Then you hear the sound.
You see the lightning.
And then you've seen it.
It's gone.
But then you hear the thunder that comes
after it.
That is called sawa'iq.
Okay?
Minas sawa'iqi hadharal mawt.
That sound, What happens to a person, You
hear that, He gets scared of, Of death.
Something's gonna happen to you.
Wallahu muheetum bil kafireen.
Allah is like, Allah is muheet.
Word muheet, Is from, What's the word?
Huh?
Heet?
Okay.
Anybody else?
No.
Heet.
Muheeta.
Heet.
Okay.
And, Ihata, Basically in the Arabic language, Means
to encompass something.
Urdu may bhi kahaten, Ihata kar liya.
Right?
We say this, That that person, He was
surrounded.
Right?
That's how we say it, right?
In Urdu.
Ihata kar liya.
Like to, To surround something.
That same word in Urdu, Is also from
the same thing.
Okay?
Wallahu muheeta.
Okay?
Allah is surrounding them.
Muheetum bil kafireen, The kuffar.
Okay?
Okay?
They also, They say, In, What do they
call it?
What do they call environment, In, In Arabic?
Muheetat.
Environment.
What is environment?
It surrounds us.
That would surround you.
That environment is called, Muheetat.
That, that surrounds you.
Okay?
No, that's hawl.
Hawl also means to surround.
Hawl actually means, To start back, Where you
started.
Okay?
So ma hawl, Is when you stand in
the middle.
Ma what?
Hawl, I.e. if you were here, You
turn around, And you go in a circle,
You come back, And now whatever that you
were able to see, That is hawl.
That is around you.
Okay?
Ma means what?
Ma hawl, yeah, ma hawl.
Yeah, same thing.
Urdu.
You have that in your language?
What do they say?
You go to jamaat?
I'm gonna say things, But then I'll get
in trouble.
Okay?
Alright.
Bil kafireen.
So I'll go back over this ayah.
So what is this referring to?
This is referring to, The ahkam of Allah
SWT, That come down from the sky.
So now they are with Rasulullah SAW, Or
they are with the Muslims.
And the ayat of Allah, The commands of
Allah, Come.
And these commands of Allah, Are like, They
are like the rainstorm.
Like the wahi comes from the sky, Similarly
the effect of this wahi, Descends on them.
There are portions that people don't like.
There are portions that people don't like.
We see this all the time.
Whenever you find somebody, Having resistance to, The
general accepted ahkam of Allah, Right?
Right?
This can be true for anyone.
I know that this is true for, For
example, An individual.
He is very close to converting, A relative
of theirs.
And the only thing that, She is refusing
to say, Fihi zulumat.
Right?
She is like, Five daily prayers.
I can't do that.
So I told the woman, I said, Why
are you telling her about, The daily prayers
right now?
You are not even a Muslim.
You need to tell her about, Allah and
tawheed.
Right?
Then once they say, La ilaha illallah, We
will develop them, In salawat.
Right?
And that is the sad thing, That sometimes
we, Say, We don't have much, Experience in
what has to be said, In da'wah.
And we sometimes, Like telling the sister, Oh
you have to wear hijab, From day one.
No you don't.
Who said that?
Her, La ilaha illallah, Muhammadur Rasulullah, Is far
more important, Than her hijab.
For a new Muslim.
But when we initiate, The conversation, You turn
off, To any path of, Because then they
feel like, This is an absolute.
Right?
They, Walam yadkhulil iman, The iman has not
even, Entered their heart yet.
So similarly, Fihi zulmatun, That when they hear,
These ayat, There are portions that, Make them
feel like, Ya this is too much.
Fihi zulmat, Wa ra'dun, What does a thunder
do?
When a thunderbolt comes, Lightning.
There are moments, They see, Oh wow, This
can change my life.
This is great.
This deen can work.
Ra'd.
Okay?
Wa barqun, Right?
So there is this, This lightning, And thunder,
Both together, They're able to actually feel, There
is hope, And that hope, Is attached with,
An element of fear, That they come with
the thunder.
Now what happens, Because of this thunder, Now
this thunder, Every time the ayat, Tells them,
What are the ayat of sawa'iq?
Jahannam.
What is going to happen in jahannam?
What is going to happen to, Wa ra'
al-mujrimuna an-nar, Right?
Wa ra' al-mujrimuna, Mushriqina mimma fihi, You
are going to see, All of those ayat,
That we recited yesterday, In our sabaq.
All of those ayat, Yaj'aluna asabi'ahum,
Fihi ahzanih, They're like, No, I don't want
to hear.
I don't want to hear, What's going to
happen to me, In akhirah.
I don't want to hear that.
And that is why, You hear people, That
have sold, Hidayah, To, Instead of guidance, If
you tell them about, Yaar, Jahannam, Please don't
talk to me, About jahannam, Please don't talk

Sawa'iq.
They don't want to hear.
They don't want to hear, These stories.
Okay?
Why?
Hadharal maut.
They know, If we die, There's consequences.
These ayahs, Are telling us, That there's going
to be, Consequences.
Okay?
So, I'll read the ayah again, From this
understanding, And try to understand this.
Surah Al-Fatihah.
Surah Al-Fatihah.
And then Allah is like, Wallahu muhitun bil
kafirin.
They forget, Whether you put your fingers, In
your ears, Whether you listen to the Quran,
Or you don't.
Whether you submit or you don't, Allah is
already encompassing you.
Allah has surrounded you, You just don't see.
Jameel, then Allah SWT says, Yaqad, the
word Yaqad means as if, almost, Al-Barqu,
the lightning, Yaqtafu Absarahum, Yaqtaf, Khatf, basically means
to *, Khataf ash-shay is to *
something, to take away something, to take away,
to *, and also when Khatf is used
for Khatf al-Taira, to hijack a plane,
hijack a plane, what happened, the original direction
of the plane was hijacked, it was snatched,
the control of the plane was snatched and
then the plane became hijacked, you know the
Arabs they say that too, and Uqtutifat or
Khatf also is used for kidnapping, same, all
the meanings comes from Khatafah, Yaqad al-Barqu,
it is very very near, Yaqad, it's very
near, Yaqad is like, in actual word, in
Arabic they say Yaqad al-Yakidu means Awshaka,
i.e. it's about to be, it's almost
on the point that this thing is going
to happen, that's how Awshaka shay, i.e.
it's almost about to happen, so Yaqadu, it's
almost as if al-Barqu, the lightning, the
root word of Barqu is what, this is
easy, it should not be very hard, Baraka,
Yaqtafu Abusarahum, their eyesight, Kullama Adhaa'a, so
this lightning, this lightning whenever it comes, Allah
SWT is saying when this lightning, when the
Ayat of Allah, when the difficult Ayat of
Allah that wake them up, that shake their
existence, when these Ayat come down, it's as
if Yaqtafu Abusarahum, Allah is going to take
away their eyesight, they are not able to
see, they will not be able to benefit
from these Ayat, it's so close that they
will not be affected from the verses of
the Qur'an, Kullama Adhaa'a lahum, whenever
these Ayat come, Mashawfihi, they walk in it,
little bit, you know these are people who
try to practice a little bit of Islam,
practice, this is easy, oh this one I
can do, Eid Salah we all can come,
Jummah also we can come, what happens after,
oh that becomes difficult, Kullama Adhaa'a lahum,
whenever it becomes easy for them, it's enlightened,
Mashawfihi, they walk in it, the first day
of Taraweeh, we all can come, okay, Adhaa
'a lahum, Mashawfihi, Wa Idhaa Adhlama AAalayhim, Qaamu,
these are the people, their life is working,
it's almost like as if they are walking
on crutches, every time they see light, oh
let me walk a little bit, but then
Allah is like, Wa Idhaa Adhlama AAalayhim, when
Allah doesn't show any hope to them, when
Allah takes away their jobs, when everything, nothing
works, Qaamu, they become stagnant, and that's when
they seek out two Imams, when nothing is
working in their life, Qaamu, everything becomes stagnated,
they go and call the Imam, the counsellor,
what's going on, Astaghfar, I have done so
much Astaghfar, things are not working, that light
that I needed to walk a little bit
is not coming anymore, Allah is like, Wa
Idhaa Adhlama AAalayhim, when Allah says, when Allah
wills to put them in darkness, and they
are covered with them, they stand still, and
Allah is like, Walaw Shah Allahu, Allah intended,
you are mocking with these verses of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, you listened to the
Qur'an from Rasulullah, you listened to the
Qur'an from Umar and Abu Bakr and
Uthman and Ali, you listened to the Qur
'an from the Imams, if Allah intended, you
would not have been able to hear the
Qur'an in the first place, Walaw Shah
Allahu La Zahaba Bisami'ihim Wa Absarihim, if
Allah intended, Allah would have taken away their
eyesight, i.e. you would not be able
to even see the path of Islam, neither
would you be able to hear anything, Inna
Allaha Ala Kulli Shay'in Qadeer, what they
don't understand is Allah is the most capable,
most of the words over here we have
done, Qadeer is a new word, what do
you think is the root word of Qadeer?
Qadra, it has three elements, somebody, Qadirun, i
.e. he is skilled in something, so having
skills, or carpenter or plumber, they have a
skill, then you have the second thing which
is Mahara, which is competence, there are a
lot of people that have skills but they
don't have competence, not every plumber is competent,
maybe a plumber but they are not competent,
so you need to have competence in that,
so you have the skill but then there
are those who are the best, competence, and
then Qadra also means that with the skill
and competence you have absolute power, and that
ultimate Qadra only belongs to Allah, and Allah
is like Inna Allaha Ala Kulli Shay'in
Qadeer, Allah is capable of everything, now Kulli
Shay'in, the word Shay'in comes from
Shay'in, Shay'in
is something that Allah, it is a thing
but it is really interesting, it is from
the Mashiyatullah, Allah has allowed it to exist,
so it exists, and we say Insha'Allah,
if Allah wills, so when we say Shay
'in, something, it also in its word entails
that it is something that Allah has willed
for it to come, and that's why it
is Shay'in, so Allah is capable of
Kulli Shay'in, everything that is possible, he
is capable of, it is very important for
us to understand this word Shay'in, because
this is where people can start asking questions
related to Aqidah, and they say, okay, then
can Allah make a rock that he can't
lift, people ask these questions, and how do
you answer this question?
Good, absurdities don't apply to Allah, why?
Because that is an impossibility, now this is
where there is a group that says, no,
no, everything is possible, we have to take
this absolutely, and they don't think much about
it, because if they say that, then Allah
says, if there was, how do we know
there are things that are impossible?
Because Allah says, if there were more than
two gods, lafasadata, so in that ayah itself,
we know that there are things that are
impossible, because the fact, the same question, when
you say Allah, why can't Allah create something
that he can't lift, that same absurdity can
also say, well, why can't Allah create something
just like him?
Well, it's impossible, and absurdities don't apply to
Allah, why is it impossible to create something,
it is an impossibility, but why is it
an impossibility?
Because if Allah created, la samaha Allah, but
just think for the logical argument, if Allah
had created something, that he became incapacitated in
front of, then that is not Allah, because
a creator cannot be weaker than the creation,
so that's why it's an absurdity, and that's
a little bit of aqidah lesson.
Beautiful, that's a second argument.
There's around 12 arguments for this, that's just
two.
We're going to come to adhaa later.
End it?
Yeah, end it.
As-salamu alaykum, people online.
