so now we're only going to lie or brachetto Smilla Rahmanir Rahim hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Kleber to the Moto clean Hola. Hola. Adelante mean? What should the Hola Hola Hola Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola. Sharika hula hula Valina we love hearing what should never be Jana Muhammad Abdul Hora sudo Mustafa Amin Allahumma salli wa sallim wa barik ala abductor Asuka Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi edge Marina mabank Welcome to our Tafseer series page by page in which Allah to Allah we go through a page of the Quran and make it of seer of it. We are currently on verse number 25 on the page beginning with verse number 25, in which Allah subhanaw taala says, well, but surely Lavina men who
are um you know, Saudi hottie and Allah whom Jannati in 30 minutes to an hour, give those who believe and do good deeds, the news that they will have gardens flowing, a greased with flowing streams. In the previous episode we concluded with the verses of Allah subhanaw taala that spoke about those people who turn away from his signs, and they turn away from the guidance that is contained within the Quran, and they turn away from the prophet hood and the messenger ship of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that Allah azza wa jal has prepared for them a punishment of the fire that will be eternal its fuel is men and stones, and Allah azza wa jal often in the Quran, he
joins between fear and hope, between reward and punishment. Allah azza wa jal often if he speaks about the believers, he speaks about the disbelievers. If he speaks about the reward of one group, he speaks about the punishment of the other. And so that is because Allah azza wa jal always balances between the two. So for those people who have Eman they can aspire and hope towards that we would have Allah azza wa jal and as a deterrent, and to strike fear in those people who turn away from Allah subhanaw taala. Allah azza wa jal mentions his punishment and destruction of them.
So here after Allah azza wa jal spoke about the punishment of the disbelievers in verse 25, Allah subhanaw taala speaks about the good reward of the believers and Allah azza wa jal begins by mentioning it in a very beautiful way. Allah azza wa jal says we're best shill and give glad tidings, who is being told to give the glad tidings, our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam give glad tidings to who, to the believers who do righteous deeds, that shows that if you want to attain Jana, from the off, that if you want to be from those people who immediately enter into Jana, because they will be believers and Muslims, who may by Allah's will be punished in the fire for a
certain amount of time to cleanse them from their sins before they eventually enter intergender. But if you want to be from amongst those people who immediately enter into Janna, without any punishment from Allah subhanaw taala, without having touched the fire, but Allah's permission, then be from amongst those people who have Eman and who have righteous deeds, what is the glad tidings that these people receive? Another whom Jannette that they will be given gardens, potentially mean tactical and how under which rivers flow gardens, therefore everything which is green and everything, which is beautiful, and everything that that contains that you can not even possibly imagine? Because the
Prophet told us on Allahu alayhi wa sallam concerning gender and its reward. He said, malar Amen. Right? Well, oh, don't send me at all Walla, Hatha radical barbershop in general, that is that which no eye has seen, no ear has heard, a no mind can possibly imagine. We have concepts and words, but their reality is something which is beyond our imagination. It's beyond our imagination, human intellect, our brain does not have the capacity and the ability to imagine the reality of what Allah azza wa jal has prepared. So Allah subhanaw taala gives us snippets. Allah azza wa jal gives us highlights Allah subhanaw taala gives us certain things, that we may understand a portion or
understand at least the general broad concept of the reward that Allah azza wa jal has prepared for the people of Jana. And it will have within it rivers that flow, rivers of water and rivers of undiluted milk, and rivers of honey that are pure and rivers of, of wine that doesn't intoxicate everything will be prepared for the believers everything that they can possibly want, when they want it, how they want it. They will be given that in Jannah and they will remain in that place for eternity.
Allah azza wa jal goes on to describe some of the beauty of Jamdani says kulambu Xiaomin Hammond thermadata Riesman called who had a lovely rose up and I'm in Kabul, whoa Toby moto Shabbiha. Allah says whenever they are given sustenance from the fruits of these gardens, they will say we have been given this before because they will provide it with
Something like it, the people of Ghana. If they want food they will be given fruit and whatever they wish to eat however they wish to eat, that is something which they will be given and Allah azza wa jal often in the in the description of Jannah. He focuses on these two aspects. Number one is the physical terrain if you like the landscape of Janna because it is from human nature to covet, beautiful landscape, we go to the desert or we go to wildlife, we go to nature, we go to the countryside, we go to places, ocean views, all of these things because human nature is that we call it beautiful landscape. We love to see that which is beautiful and pleasing to the eye. It relaxes
you, and it makes you feel content and peaceful at heart. When you go and you look upon such things. So Allah azza wa jal describes Jana in the way that people like in a manner which pleat which is pleasing and enticing to people. And Allah subhanaw taala often describes the food and the drink of Genda. Because part of human nature is to relax with food, and with drink. It is from human nature that you got with your friends and with your relatives, and you meet over food, you call people to your home and you meet over food or you go to visit others and they present to you food from good hospitality is the sharing of food and drink, because that is also from human nature. Allah subhanaw
taala describes the food and the drink of Jannah. And he says whenever they are given sustenance from the fruits of gender, foods that you can't even imagine their names may be the same to the names that we have in the dunya. But the reality of them is extremely different. They will say we have been given this before. And that is because the fruit of Jannah
when you're given one foot and you're given another one, it is just as nice, just as delicious, just as beautiful to look at amazing to smell, and amazing to eat. When you have in the dunya a bowl of fruit, someone gives you a bowl of fruit or you go to the shops and you buy fruit. If you have a packet of fruit, it is often the case that you will find one or two pieces of fruit that are perhaps coming off that aren't very sweet to eat. They're not as good as they should be. Or maybe they haven't fully ripened. There is always in a basket of food some food that maybe doesn't reach the level of your it is sometimes you know a trial and error in the sense that you may find certain
fruits that are very nice to eat. But when you go back to the same shop the next day and you buy another one, it's not as nice to eat. Allah azza wa jal is saying the role of the fruit of Jannah is amazing. Each one of it is as good as the last and each one of it is as amazing as the one that you've eaten before.
Allah azza wa jal says Whoa Toby him water Shabbiha because they will provide it with something like it. Some of the scholars would have seen said that those fruits will be similar in name, but different in taste, and others said that they will be similar in color, but different in name and other sensory means that they will be similar to one another. Meaning each one as we said, is as beautiful and as delicious and as amazing to look at an eat as every other fruit and Allah azza wa jal has prepared in gender. Allah subhanaw taala then continues with the description of the rewards of gender and he says, Welcome via as well to Mahara they will have their rent pure spouses. So not
only when they have amazing landscapes and places that they will reside in, not only will they have the most amazing food and drink, but they will have amazing company as well. That will give to them peace and contentment and solace. They will be pure spouses meaning that they will have nothing that is impure, neither in action nor in thought nor in belief, nor in terms of what they look upon or what they think or how they behave or their character or their mannerisms. They will be pure in every way because Allah azza wa jal has created them in such a way. And Allah subhanaw taala says welcome fee haha, they don't, and they will remain there in forever. It is bliss that is eternal,
there will be no death, there will be no end. And from the most amazing descriptions of Jana is that the people of Jana and Jana do not become fed up, they don't become bored, because there is very, very, very akin to human nature, that sometimes even when you live in a place that is beautiful, a place that is amazing a place that other people may love to travel to. But you when you see it day in and day out, it becomes boring to you, you become accustomed to it, it becomes something which just becomes part of the norm. And so therefore you want to go somewhere else. And that's why people from one country even though millions of people will come to their land to spend their vacation and
their holiday, they will travel to a different land because for them that place is essentially the same and it is normal day to day. But the beauty of Jana is that you never want to swap the beauty of gender is that you never want to change the beauty of Jana is the it never becomes boring although norm or the same is never the day in general a day in general. It's never that it's something which I did yesterday or it's the same as every day or it's the same all the time and that
is no change Allah subhanaw taala has made it in that way. And so the beauty of this verse is that Allah azza wa jal tells us who is the one giving the glad tidings, to whom the glad tidings have been given to what those Glad Tidings are, and how you attain those glad tidings. the glad tidings have been given to the poor by are being given by the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and they are given to the believers, and those glad tidings or the glad tidings of Jana, with all of the rewards that they would with all of the rewards that Jana contains, and the way that you achieve that reward those Glad Tidings is by having a man and by doing righteous deeds, and Allah subhanaw
taala calls them righteous deeds, because to show you that by doing that, you become righteous, and you make those around you in society and righteous as well. When you obey Allah azza wa jal, and you do what Allah commands of you. Not only are you good within yourself, but you rectify those around you, when you help the poor and the needy and the weak when you give people their rights and you don't go overboard in demanding your own rights. When you don't oppress and you don't harm. When you don't do anything which Allah azza wa jal is prohibited. Not only do you rectify yourself, but you rectify those around you as well.
Allah subhanaw taala the universe number 26 He says Subhana wa Tada in Allahu La you study and you believe by Mithuna MALBA will not turn from Africa. Allah azza wa jal does not shy away from drawing comparisons even with something as small as a gnat or larger.
Allah azza wa jal says that he is not shy of setting forth parables and comparisons. And that is because it is said that some of the Quraysh made fun some of the disbelievers made fun of the Quran and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, why is your Lord why is your God always giving forth these parables and comparisons? Why does Allah azza wa jal say the example of this is like that an example of this and sometimes those examples may be very small, as Allah azza wa jal mentioned, for example, in the Quran, the example of those who worship besides Allah or the gods is like the example of the spider's web, right? Give an example of a spider's web it's so we can so flimsy and
so Allah azza wa jal says that he's not shy of giving forth those parables. And in this there is an amazing lesson because the surah is telling us how the Muslims should believe. We've began the surah by speaking about the categories of believers, and then the way that Allah azza wa jal commands us to believe in Him and the size that is given to us and the reward and the punishment of those who believe or disbelieve in those signs. And in Allah subhanaw taala, Allah azza wa jal is saying that the believer is the one who takes the signs of Allah, who takes the lessons of Allah who takes the parables and the examples that Allah azza wa jal has set forth and his comparisons and he benefits
from them. And that is why Allah azza wa jal says for a Molina manual for your Allah Munna and Nepal, hakuna Robben as for those who believe they know it is the truth from the Lord. So they believe in it, they accept it, they learn from it, they benefit from those lessons. If Allah subhanaw taala is saying as we mentioned in the previous episode example in the parables of the hypocrites, and the example that Allah azza wa jal gave of the fire and the example that Allah azza wa jal gave of the thunder and the water and the rain and so Allah azza wa jal gives those examples so that you can understand better and you are more able to comprehend what Allah subhanaw taala is
saying to you. If you're from the believers, you accept and you take the guidance, and you learn from the guidance and you apply it. What a man Lavina Cafaro for yaku Luna mother Arad, Allah who be had a method, but as for the disbelievers, they say, What could Allah possibly mean by such a comparison? You will live Looby he cathedra or Yeah, DB he cathedra through it Allah makes many go astray. And Allah leads many to guidance. The believers are those people who accept the guidance of Allah azza wa jal through his examples through the stories of the Quran, through the commandments that are found through the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. As for the
disbelievers, they always question they always say, but what does it mean and how and why? And they have endless questions, because they don't actually want to learn. They don't actually want to take the guidance, they don't actually want to believe and apply what Allah azza wa jal is saying, but rather, they want to debate. People have endless questions, people have open debate that actually don't want to attain a single resolution. And that's why the people who are sincere in guidance where they come to you, they have a question, and then listen to the answer and response. And they'll soak that in. And then if they have a follow up question, they'll ask you, but those people
who are insincere will simply wait for a question or adapt to the think will trip you up. And once you begin to respond, they'll change to another doubt. And then the third and a fourth and a fifth or a fifth and sixth question, not because they and that's because they don't want the answer. They haven't listened or waited for the response. But what they want to do is jump from one to another. And this is also a warning therefore to the Muslims that people have Eman that when you're told that this is the religion of Allah, this is what Allah commands. This is what the prophets of Allah were and he was salam command
You don't have these characteristics of disbelief that when someone says do this or Allah commands you to do this, you ask why, and when and how, and you don't even wait to understand, but you have 10 follow up questions already. rather than seeking guidance, you open up the door to endless debate and that is why Allah azza wa jal says that through these types of comparisons, these types of parables and lessons, Allah guides many, and Allah misguides, many wema Yulin Looby, he led fasting, but it is only the people of evil that go astray, and is only those who don't want guidance from Allah, who don't want to accept the guidance of the Quran, or the message of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, those types of people are the ones who truly go astray. And here again, Allah azza wa jal is referring to the corruption and the evil that takes a person outside of the fold of Islam, for a believer to hear that something is from Allah or the prophets of Salaam and then to ignore it out of laziness or following their desires. It is in and of itself, a grave sin and something that should be stayed away from, but it doesn't take a person outside of the fold of Islam. A single major sin doesn't take the person outside of the fold of Islam, unless they believe that that major sin is something which Allah azza wa jal has made halal, or that it's something which is halal for
them to do. However, those people that Allah azza wa jal is referring to that Allah subhanaw taala is referring to here are those people who have Fist of the heart, their belief is one of corruption. They don't want to accept the guidance. They are people who have disbelief in their heart, and Allah azza wa jal then describes the evil described attributes of these people who are rebels and people who go astray. And he says Subhana wa Tada a Lavina young Cadorna Abdullah he Madami therapy. Welcome, Mr. Allah who be here a new salah. Well, you see, do not fill arm, Allah Iike human Hassoun, there are those who break the covenant with Allah, after it has been confirmed, who severed
the bonds that Allah has commanded to be joined, who spread corruption upon the earth. Indeed, these people are the losers. There are those people who break the covenant with Allah azza wa jal after it has been confirmed, or is the covenant of Allah subhanaw taala between us and him is that we would worship Him, that we would believe in Him, that we would come OBEY HIM subhanaw taala in all of his commands, and stay away from all of his prohibitions, as the Prophet said some Allahu Allah was sending me the Hadith and what I've even read Jebel Ali Allahu Buhari, he said a while and when I've replied to Baker Soon Allah was Saturday I am here ready oh messenger of Allah. The Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Oh my god, what is the rights of Allah? Mahakala really bad? What are the rights that Allah has upon his slaves and servants? He said, Allah and His Messenger know best. The prophets on Allah wa he will send them replied that the right of Allah upon His servants is that they worship Him alone, and don't also say anyone in worship with him. And then after a while, the Prophet said, I'm calling my eyes again and he said no more if and again, why are they responding? The baker, Yasser Allah, he was Sadiq, on Messenger of Allah, I am here and ready to respond. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, well, one Mahakala rebel, the other Allah,
what is the rights that Allah has given to his slaves over himself? subhanaw taala and again, what are the reply Allah and His Messenger know best? So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam replied, the rights of the servants is that if they do as Allah commanded, meaning they worship Him alone, stay away from shipt Allah your Aviva that he wouldn't punish them Subhana wa Tada. That is the covenant that Allah took when he extracted each and every single one of us from the loins of our father Adam and his son was ALLAH mentioned elsewhere in the Quran with Aqua darbuka when Benny Adam mill men law teams will be yet to him or shadow him Allah and forcing him else to be or have become
called obrera Shahidullah. When Allah azza wa jal extracted each and every single one of us from the loins of our father Adam Ali Salam, and ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada asked us Do you not believe and all of us are tested that we believe in Him and worship Him? Allah subhana wa Tada. And so Allah azza wa jal took that covenant from us. And now those people are fist of evil. They break that covenant. Why not Darwin ama ama Allah who be a nuisance, and they break every single tie and bond that Allah commanded to be joined the tie of iman that Allah commanded to be joined the tie of belief and following the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that Allah commanded to be joined the tie of
accepting the Quran and following it in its guidance that Allah azza wa jal commanded to be joined. And then the tie that we have in our kinship around us, our parents, our family, our children, our relatives, the people who have right upon us, our teachers, our neighbors, all of those times that Allah azza wa jal has commanded, why Akbar Ahmed Allah who be a useful, they cut off that which Allah commanded, should be joined. And this was one of the key things we know that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam brought and that is why the Hadith in Sahih Bukhari of Abu Sofia Mahdi Allah one when he went to the bison team Roman Empire miracle, and he stood before he Iraklis
He was questioned about Islam and this is before Abu Sufyan Radi Allahu and becomes a Muslim himself. He was asked from the questions is what does this messenger order you with? What does he come and do with? Annabelle Sofia replied the commands is to worship Allah alone. And from what He commands us to do is to have modesty. And we should join the ties of kinship. That's one of the key things that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam commanded that we join the ties and bonds that Allah azza wa jal has commanded us to join. While you see don't fly out of these people and instead spread corruption upon the earth. They spread corruption through their disbelief, through the
hypocrisy through their sin, through the disobedience of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. And so Allah azza wa jal says, Hola, Iike Humann hacia
these are the true losers, losers in this life, because Allah azza wa jal man, bless them. Allah subhanaw taala doesn't give them guidance, Allah Azza doesn't shower, his specific Divine Mercy upon them or his forgiveness, or gives them his spiritual is divine aid and help and they will also be the losers of the next life, because Allah azza wa jal will not give to them mercy and reward for other Allah subhanaw taala
will throw them into the fire. And so this is a warning from Allah subhanaw taala that the believers are those people who take the commands of Allah and they draw lessons from them. The disbelievers are those people who turn away from the commands of Allah azza wa jal, and instead of what they do, is everything that Allah subhanaw taala has prohibited them from the believers are those people who when they hear, Allah said, do something, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam do something, they hastened to the best of their ability and they're human. They make mistakes, they sin, they're forgetful, all of those things, but they hastened to the best of their ability to comply with the
laws commands, and when they do sin as they must when they sin, and they forget when they overcome by the whisperings of shaytan, they always turn back to Allah. Eventually, they always go back to Allah making Toba and seeking His forgiveness, and the best of them are those who hasten towards Toba after sinning but as for the disbelievers, there are people who continue to disobey people who continue to oppose Allah and His Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So Allah subhanaw taala then in verse 28, he asks a rhetorical question, to show the fallacy of these people to show the disbelief and that they have and the fallacy of the disbelief that Allah azza wa jal says in verse
28k, for tech phone owner Biller, welcome and welcome to a Martin Viacom, somebody you need to come to my econ from LA he told you, how can you ignore Allah, when you were lifeless, and he gave you life and he will cause you to die, then you will be resurrected, and you will be returned to him? How can you disbelieve in Allah, when you will nothing worthy of mentioned? Doesn't Allah azza wa jal often say in the Quran, do not people look towards their own creation, how they recreated from a drop of spam, that is the beginning of humankind, or before that in the time of L before the creation of Adam and Eve CERAM that they were created from clay and from Dustin from sand. This is
the origin of humans. But when people come to this life, and they live upon it, and they grow, and they mature, and they have the power and the strength of their bodies and their minds, they think and they walk around as if they own the earth, that nothing can harm them, that they will live forever that they have eternity, but very soon through disease through illness through old age through weakness through sudden death, they know the reality Alonza isn't saying isn't more befitting that a person realizes that reality before it's too late, that they understand their true nature before it's made abundantly clear to them. How can you disbelieve in Allah when you were
dead, you didn't exist. So Allah then gave you life. And then after life, you see that you will die all around you you see that everything will die. So my your ecomony will resurrect you and you will return to Him. And a site of the resurrection is that which you see around you in the life of vegetation and plants and so on and how the life cycle continues and works and if Allah azza wa jal can do that. Then Allah subhanaw taala has the power to resurrect as well. And that is one line sutil says in the final verse on this page, who went into the Halacha chromaffin RB Jamia, it is He who created all that is upon the earth for you. Everything upon the earth, Allah azza wa jal has
made for you that you may live a life of worship, and subservience and submission to Allah subhanaw taala. And within this verse,
is one of the evidences the scholars of Islam used to show that generally speaking, when it comes to issues of living and life, everything is halal and permissible, unless the Sharia law says otherwise. So generally it is allowed for you to use the earth and to dress as you please and to eat as you please enter do whatever you please, unless the shady art says, don't need such and such a thing. Don't dress in such in such a way, don't wear certain types of jewelry for men, and so on and so forth. Those are restrictions, everything
Beyond them is made halal. Allah says He created the earth for you, that you may reside on it that you may see it signs you may contemplate over its creation, that you may use it as a place for you to come closer to Allah azza wa jal worship Him and of Eman in him from Mustela Illa sama if so well Hoonah some XML what? Then Allah turned towards the sky, and he made the seven heavens, Allah azza wa jal uses the word his tower in a number of ways in the book of Allah subhanaw taala. From the meanings of the word stellar, is that something which is its maturity and its completeness. For example, in the statement of Allah azza wa jal concerning the Prophet Musa alayhis salam ala
Marbella should devil was tower when he reached maturity and completeness. Allah azza wa jal says We gave him knowledge and we gave him wisdom from the meanings of his tower and especially if it is used with the word of Allah, is that Allah azza wa jal ascends to ascend and go above when Allah azza wa jal for example, says in surah Taha Rahman will allow she's tower, Allah ascended above the throne in a manner which befits His Majesty subhanaw taala. And when the word is Tower is used with the word ILA, as it has done here in this verse, that it means to turn towards Allah azza wa jal created the earth for you. And then he says, subhanaw taala that he turned towards the heavens, and
he created seven heavens as well, showing the path the power of Allah azza wa jal, and his ability were who are equally che in early and it is Allah who has knowledge of all things. And therefore Allah subhanaw taala has created the heavens and the earth, in this intricate intimate detail with all of the things that you benefit from the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the oceans, the rivers, the oxygen, everything that we have, in the dunya we benefit from because Allah azza wa jal has pleased each and every single thing in his intricate place within his universe all as a sign of his the heat of Allah, the heat of Allah azza wa jal and the side that is deserving to be worshipped
Subhana wa Tada and with that, we come to the end of this particular page and inshallah Tada we begin our next episode inshallah Tyler with the beginning of the story of creation, the creation of our father Adam, Atticus salatu, Salam Baraka lofi Muhammad, wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Bismillah
