00:00:44 --> 00:00:44
			Muhammad.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			Welcome to another episode of our tafsir
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			page by page and InshaAllah ta'ala. Today we
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			are on page 110 which is in the
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			6 Jews of the Quran Surah Al Mahida.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			In the previous episode we mentioned a number
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			of verses in which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			spoke about the pledge and covenant that he
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			took with Bani Israel
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			and how they broke that pledge and covenant.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			The pledge and covenant that Allah took with
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			them was that Allah would give them his
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			divine aid and protection and help and assistance
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			subhanahu wa ta'ala so long as they fulfilled
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			their part of the covenant. And that is
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			that they would establish the salah and give
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			the zakah and believe in all of the
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			messengers of Allah and support them and give
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			to Allah azza wa Jalal in return for
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			fulfilling that pledge. Allah
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			says that they would have had all of
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			their sins expiated and forgiven
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			That Allah would have given to them the
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			reward of Jannah
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			under which rivers
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			flow. However, then Allah mentioned that they broke
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			that pledge or many from amongst them broke
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			that pledge and as a result they were
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			cursed by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and Allah
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			hardened their hearts so that they were not
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			able to receive the admonition or the reminder
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			And that is why many of them were
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			not able to then accept the message of
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			the prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam. Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			ta'ala says that they used to distort the
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			message of Allah
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			So the covenant that they took in the
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			pledge, they broke that pledge and that is
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			a reminder to us the ummah of the
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam that we also have
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			a pledge from Allah subhanahu ta'ala
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12
			that we should worship him alone and fulfill
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			our obligations and our duties as muslims and
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			stay away from the Haram and the prohibitions
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			and that Allah ajwala will return give us
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			our reward as well.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:21
			However,
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			if we break that pledge and that covenant
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			then we are also
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			under the threat of punishment from Allah Subhanahu
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			wa Ta'ala. Today we begin or we continue
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			with verse number 14 of Surah Al Maidah
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			And that is the statement of Allah subhanahu
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			Allah says and we also took a pledge
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			from those who say we are Christians,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			but they too forgot some of what they
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			were told to remember
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			so we stirred up enmity and hatred amongst
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			them until the day of resurrection when Allah
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			will tell them what they have done.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in the previous verses
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			that we took in the last episode was
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			speaking about the people of the book and
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			predominantly from the people of the book the
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			Jews. And in this verse Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			ta'ala now moves on to the Christians
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			because Allah Azzawajal took from every single nation
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			a covenant. Every single nation
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			before the people of the scripture
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			and after the people of the scripture in
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			terms of this Ummah of the prophet salallahu
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			alaihi wa sallam. Allah azza wa jal takes
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			the pledge and the covenant of worship
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			from his slaves and from his creation. So
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said that we also
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			took a pledge from those who say that
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			we are Christians. So the Christians were also
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			given a pledge. And that is that they
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			would be from those people who believed in
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			Allah and believed in the divine
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			scriptures of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. But they
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			broke that pledge. Allah
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:00
			says,
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			but they too forgot some of what they
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			were told to remember.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			They They forgot the issue of Tawhid of
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			Allah
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			So rather than worshipping Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			and dedicating all of their servitude and submission
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:14
			to him,
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			they began to worship other than Allah They
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			claimed that Allah
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			had a son in the form of Isa
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			alaihis salam. They venerated amongst them the Christians
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			of those who venerated
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			and exalted
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			his mother Mariam Alaihis salam above her station
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:29
			also
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			and essentially made her into 1 of those
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			figures of worship besides Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			And so Allah says that they also forgot.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			They also forgot the reminder that they were
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			given that a prophet will then emerge
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			towards the end of time. That is our
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam even though Allah
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			tells us elsewhere in the Quran as Allah
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			mentions in Surat al Saf that Allah subhanahu
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			wa ta'ala
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			tells us in the Quran that the prophet
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			gave to his people the glad tidings
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			of a man who would come after him,
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			a prophet by the name of
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			This messenger of Allah would come and his
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			name would be Ahmed. And Ahmed as we
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			know is 1 of the names of our
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. And so he gave
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			them this glad tidings. He gave them the
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			signs. He even gave them the name that
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			they need to look out for.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			And that is why from amongst the people
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			who held on to the pure message of
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			Christianity,
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			those people who held on to the pure
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			message of Alisa Alaihi Salam,
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			they were able to recognize the prophet Sallallahu
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			Alaihi wasallam emerged during his time. So you
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			have for example the story of the famous
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			companion Salman al Farisi, radiAllahu an, who even
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			though he was on the religion of his
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			people, the Persians, he converts to Christianity.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			And whilst he is with those Christian rabbis
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			and monks and scholars, he learns about the
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:44
			coming of the Prophet
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			And they were telling him and teaching him
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			that he needs to look out for this
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			man and this is the area that he
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			is going to appear in and this is
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			the time when he is due to come
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			And these are the traits that he will
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			have and the signs of prophethood that every
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			prophet has. And especially the prophet salallahu alaihi
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			wa sallam. And that is why when Salman
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:01
			al Farris
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			arrives in Madinah
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			and the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam comes to
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			the city, he comes and he tests him.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			Because he wants to know does this man
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			fit the description that we had within our
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:12
			scriptures.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			So 1 occasion he comes and he gives
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			him charity
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			from food, charity food and he says to
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			him this is for you. The Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			Alaihi Wasallam gave it to the people around
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			him but he didn't eat. Because the Prophet
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			don't eat from charity. They don't eat from
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			the charity of people.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			So that's 1 test.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			The second time he came and he gave
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			him some food again. But this time he
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			said it's a gift for you. It's not
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			charity, it's a gift. So the Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			Alaihi Wasallam ate from it and he shared
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			it with those around him. That's another test
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			because the prophets will accept gifts, but they
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			won't accept charity.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			And on the 3rd occasion, he wanted to
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			come and see the seal of prophethood
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			between the shoulder blades of the Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			Alaihi Wasallam. So the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			allowed him to see it and when he
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			saw these 3 signs from the many signs
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			he was given, he accepted Islam and became
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			as we know from the companions of the
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			Prophet SAW.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			The point of this being that this was
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			something which the people of the scripture knew.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			But Allah says that many of them forgot
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			that which they were told to remember. They
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			changed their scripture and omitted certain things and
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			ignored other parts of it and so on
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			and so forth.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			Allah says so we stirred up enmity and
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			hatred amongst them until Yomul Qiyamah meaning that
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			they fight 1 another
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			and they have
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			their own problems amongst 1 another. And there
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			is constant struggles and wars and fights between
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			them.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			And Allah will tell them on that day
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			meaning on Yawmul Qiyama
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			that which they used to do.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			In verse number 15 Allah
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			then says,
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			O people of the book, our messenger has
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			come to make clear to you much of
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			what you have kept hidden of the scripture
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			and to overlook much you have done. A
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			light has now come to you from Allah
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			and the scripture making things clear.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala after mentioning
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			the covenant that he took upon the people
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			of the scripture, the Jews and Christians and
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			how they forgot much of what Allah told
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			them and how they broke that pledge. Allah
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala now tells them, oh people
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			of the book our messenger has come to
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			you meaning the prophet
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			he has come to you to make clear
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			to you much of what you have kept
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:40
			hidden
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			of the scripture
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			and to overlook much of what you have
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			done.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			Allah is saying to the people of Bani
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			Israel, to the people of the scripture that
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			this messenger meaning Muhammad
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53
			has come with clarity,
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			has come with guidance, has come with the
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			light from Allah
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			in the form of Islam. He has come
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			with the message of Allah azza wa jal.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			And if you accept this message
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:05
			then much of that which you hidden or
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			much of that which you forgot or much
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			of that which you ignored, it will be
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			made clear to you again. If you want
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			to seek the path to Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			Ta'ala, you want to find the path towards
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			salvation and eternal happiness, then follow the path
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam because as
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20
			we have mentioned before
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			Allah took this covenant upon each and every
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			single prophet and messenger. That if during their
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			time the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam was
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			to emerge then they were to go and
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			to support him. They were to help him
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			and to aid him sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			So therefore when the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			sallam came at the end of time and
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			he said that my message is for all
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			of mankind, not only for the Quraysh or
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			only for the Arabs, it's not just specific
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44
			to them, it is all for all of
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			humankind
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			than every single 1 of those previous nations
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			or every single 1 of the people across
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			the world. Their duty is then to believe
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			in the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			and that is what they were told in
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			the scriptures. And that is what they were
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:58
			prophesied
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01
			for them by their prophets and messengers for
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02
			Allah
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			and that is that if they go and
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			they believe in Allah and they believe in
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and they take
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			iman and they follow the haram and they
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			stay away from Haram, then Allah will forgive
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			them for all of their sins and their
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:15
			transgressions.
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:18
			And you will overlook much of what you
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			have done Not only much of what you
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			have done in terms of the sins
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:22
			but Allah
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			amended some of the laws of
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			the Injeel made things easy
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35
			for the Ummah of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			wa sallam. And so much of what we
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			do in terms of our Ibadah, in terms
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			of what Allah made halal or haram in
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43
			terms of what we can do or can't
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46
			do, the commandments and the prohibitions. Allah
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49
			made it easier for us than for those
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			people who came before us. And that is
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			why we have a greater reward. The ummah
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			of the prophet
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			as a greater virtue and a greater reward
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			and a greater station and that is seen
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			for example in a number of narrations from
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:02
			them is that the prophet salallahu alaihi wa
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			sallam told us that even though we were
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			the last of the nations to come upon
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			earth, we will be the 1st to enter
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:11
			into Jannah, by Allah's permission. And so once
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:14
			the prophets have entered into Jannah, the 1st
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			Ummah to enter into Jannah for more of
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:16
			the nations,
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:19
			even though with the last chronologically to come
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:19
			upon earth.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			So the people of Nuh and Ibrahim and
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			Hud and and the believers of those of
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			those nations and Musa and Harissa all of
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			them came before us. We are the last
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			of the nations to appear upon earth but
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32
			by Allah's
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:35
			mercy and permission, the Ummah of the Prophet
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			will be the first to enter into Jannah.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala then concludes this verse
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:41
			by saying
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			a light has now come to you from
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:50
			Allah and a scripture making things clear. Allah
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			is saying that he has given to us
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			what we need in order to know our
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:57
			religion, to have guidance from Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			Ta'ala. And that is a very important point
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			To know that what Allah
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:02
			has contained within the Quran
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			is guidance
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			and it is a light from him.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			And that is why the scholars have often
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			said that every single issue that you need
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			in terms of happiness, in terms of salvation,
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			in terms of being successful in this life
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			and the next, you will find it in
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			the book of Allah
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			If you don't understand the Quran that's a
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			different issue. If your connection with the Quran
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			is weak that's a different issue. If you
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			don't study the Quran or contemplate the book
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:26
			of Allah
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			that's a different issue. But the Quran in
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			and of itself is noor. And
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			it is a cure. As Ibn Qayim said
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			when he gave a very good example. He
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38
			said the Quran is a light and a
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			cure. But just like every medication,
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			it also depends on the dosage. It depends
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46
			on how and when you administer it. So
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			if you were just to go to the
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:48
			doctor and get some medication and you rarely
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			take it, or you take it in the
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			way that wasn't prescribed, or you take it
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			in the way that wasn't prescribed, you're doing
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			something in the opposite way that you should
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			do it, then that medication will only have
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			a limited effect.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			The problem isn't with the medication. The medication
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			works. It's been proven to work. The problem
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			is me and you because we don't take
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			the Quran in the way that it should
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			be taken. So the Quran is the cure
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:09
			of Allah
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			gives a cure to the hearts from the
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			diseases of the heart. And there is a
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			cure for the bodies as Allah mentioned and
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			as is mentioned in the sun of the
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. But the problem is
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			that we don't read the Quran the way
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23
			that it should be read. We don't understand
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			the Quran the way that it should be
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			understood. We don't study the Quran the way
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			that it should be studied. We don't contemplate
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			upon the Quran the way that it should
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			be contemplated and we don't act upon the
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			Quran the way that it should be implemented
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:37
			and acted upon. And so our connection with
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			the Quran because of its weakness and its
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:39
			distance,
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			then means that the effect of it is
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			also going to be weak and distance and
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			you can take that principle and apply it
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			to everything in Islam. Allah gives to us
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50
			virtues concerning Salah, that it prevents you from
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			sin and from certain evils and so on,
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			and then we pray but we find ourselves
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			sinning and falling into those same major sins
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:59
			and issues. The problem isn't with the Salah
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			because Allah is truthful and if Allah says
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			that it prevents from sin, it prevents from
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			sin. The problem is in me and you
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			and in the way that we are praying
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			and the manner in which we are praying
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			and the mindset that we come to the
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:13
			prayer with. This is a deficiency upon our
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			part. And so therefore we
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			need to strive and be better when it
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:19
			comes to our connection with the book of
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala because all of the
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23
			book of Allah is Noor. It is all
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			light and all guidance and all goodness and
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:28
			all blessing. But for us to benefit from
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			that to the maximum,
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:32
			to the maximum level, that's something which we
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:33
			need to work upon in terms of our
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:34
			own
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37
			Iman and our own worship of Allah Subhanahu
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:37
			Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40
			Allah
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			mentions in verse 16
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:43
			Allah mentions in verse 16,
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			it is a light and a clear book
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			and a clear scripture.
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			With which Allah guides to the ways of
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			peace those who follow what pleases him,
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			bringing them from darkness out into light by
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			his will and guiding them to the straight
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13
			path.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:14
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			says that the Quran in the previous verse
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			he said that the Quran is a light
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21
			from Allah and a scripture that makes things
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:24
			clear and then in verse 16 he says,
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			with which Allah guides the ways of peace.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:29
			Allah Azzawajal uses the Quran as a guidance.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			It is a guide for the believers.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			So for those people who follow the guidance
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			of the Quran, it will guide them to
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			the ways of peace. The ways of peace
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38
			are all of the ways of goodness and
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			all of the ways that upon which is
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			the pleasure of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			The ways of peace is everything that Allah
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			is pleased with. So everything which is good
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			in terms of your belief,
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			in terms of your worship of Allah azza
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			wa Jal your Ibadah, in terms of your
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:54
			character and your dealings and the way that
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:57
			you interact with people in terms
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58
			of your dunya
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			and the way you live upon this life.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			The Quran speaks about it. It gives you
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			guidance concerning it. It gives you either in
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			general terms or in specific terms
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:12
			laws concerning it and guidelines concerning it. So
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			for example in the previous Surah that we
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			made the Tafsir of, Surah Al
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:19
			Nisa, we had detailed rulings concerning divorce,
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:22
			detailed rulings concerning aspects of marriage, detailed rulings
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			concerning inheritance.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			Those are laws that Allah gives to you
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			because in it there is light and guidance.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:31
			And if you follow that, then you're following
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:31
			in that issue
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			the path of peace, the ways of peace.
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36
			Because within that there is goodness for you,
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39
			goodness for the other people involved and goodness
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			for the whole community and the whole Ummah
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. And so
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:43
			Allah
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			wants us to follow those ways of peace.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:47
			How do you know what is the way
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:48
			of peace, the way of goodness, the way
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			of success and salvation?
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			The Quran tells you.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:54
			Read the Quran, study the Quran,
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			take time
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:58
			from your life and daily schedule and dedicate
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			it to the book of Allah Subhanahu wa
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			Ta'ala. And the more that you dedicate to
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			the Quran, the more that you will take
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:06
			from it. The more that you dedicate and
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			sacrifice for the sake of Allah in studying
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			and reading the Quran,
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			the more that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:12
			bless your efforts
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			and sincerity. And Allah will open up for
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			you the knowledge of the book of Allah
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And that is why some
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			of the scholars used to say after spending
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
			decades
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			servicing Islam, teaching and studying, they used to
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			say if we had 1 regret, it is
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:29
			that we didn't give even more time to
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			the Quran. And their whole life was dedicated
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			to the Quran. Their whole life is the
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			book of Allah Subhanhu wa Ta'ala. But that's
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			still a regret that they had after 50,
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			60, 70 years. Why? Because the Quran you
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			can never finish studying it. Even if you
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			read it once or twice and you have
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			done tafsir once or twice or you studied
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:48
			it multiple times, it's not enough. You need
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			to go back and read it again and
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			again and again. And if you read the
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:54
			the the the the statements of 1 scholar,
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:54
			go
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			or the second 1 and the third 1.
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			Each 1 has something that they can give
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			to you. And the Quran has so many
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			different facets and angles that you can study
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			it from, whether it be from the issues
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			of Fiqh or the Arabic
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:10
			language or the Qiraat of the Quran or
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:11
			the Quran, the Quran, the Quran, the Quran,
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			the Quran, the Quran, the Quran, the Quran,
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			the Quran, the Quran, the Quran, the Quran,
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:18
			the Quran, the Quran, the Quran, the Quran,
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:18
			the
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			and the ways of peace
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			that lead to the abode of peace. And
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:27
			is from the names of Jannah. The names
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			of paradise is that it is the abode
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:31
			of peace in which there is no hatred,
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:34
			no enmity, no war, no fighting, no bickering,
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			no arguing, no animosity,
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:37
			no ill feelings, no jealousy,
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:40
			no envy, all of that is taken out
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:41
			from the people of Jannah.
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:44
			In Jannah, there is only purity and goodness
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			and so it is called Dawus Salam, it
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:47
			is the abode
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:48
			of peace,
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			the abode of goodness and so to follow
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:53
			the ways of goodness that Allah is mentioning
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			here, the ways of peace and goodness, Allah
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			will take you to the abode of peace
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:57
			and goodness.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			Allah says that this Quran will take you
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:04
			out from darkness
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			into light by his will.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:07
			Allah will extract
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			you from the depths of darkness,
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			the darkness of the darkness of the darkness
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:14
			of the darkness of the darkness of innovation
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			and the darkness of not knowing your purpose
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19
			in this life, not knowing what is pleasing
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			to Allah azza wa Jal, not knowing who
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			is your Lord and creator and the purpose
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:26
			for which he created you. Subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			And so Allah says that he will extract
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			you from that darkness
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			and bring you into the light. The light
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			of Iman and the light of tawhid
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			and the light of knowing what is pleasing
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:36
			to Allah
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			and the light of Islam and knowing the
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:40
			Prophet
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			in the Quran. And so
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:44
			once you
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:45
			were
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46
			in the depths of darkness,
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			in which your heart felt no peace,
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			no contentment,
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:53
			no joy or happiness. There was the emptiness
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			within you that you couldn't fill. There was
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			a gap that you couldn't that you couldn't
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00
			fill because the only thing that I can
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			fill that gap is iman, is the Quran.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			It is your belief in Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			ta'ala. And once you taste the sweetness of
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			iman through the Quran and through Iman, you
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			taste the sweetness of this Quran, then you
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			understand the greatest blessing of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			jal upon any 1 of his creation
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			And that is that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:20
			allows them to see that light allows them
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:23
			to benefit from that light. Because there are
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			many people who come across the Quran, many
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:26
			people who have heard of the Quran, but
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			most of them or many of them don't
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:29
			believe in the Quran. And then there are
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			many who believe in the Quran because they're
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:34
			Muslims, but their attachment to it is so
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			weak and distant that they take very little
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			benefit from the Quran.
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:39
			So if you are from amongst those people
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:42
			that Allah has blessed that you're watching this
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			tafsir for example, you're reading the Quran, you're
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:47
			trying, you're studying, you're doing your utmost, your
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			best, that is from the greatest blessings of
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			Allah upon you and 1 that you should
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			thank him for on a daily basis. Every
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:54
			single day you should thank Allah
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			and ask him for an increase in it.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			And you feel from 1 of those people
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			that you are distant from the Quran, that
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:04
			your connection or attachment to the Quran is
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			very weak, is very little, then now is
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			the time to start. Now is the time
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			to change your ways and to amend them
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:12
			and to start from a new. Start fresh
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:13
			with the book of Allah Subhanu wa Ta'ala
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			and do it in a measurable way, easy,
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
			consistent way. Take 5, 10 minutes of your
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			day, read even if it's just a verse
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:23
			of the Quran, but stop and read his
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			tafsir and study it and ponder over it.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			That's all it takes. 5 to 10 minutes.
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:28
			Read this translation,
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29
			read a brief tafsir,
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
			and then you move on to the second
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			1 and the third 1 and the fourth
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			1. And if you did that every single
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			day of the year and you did some
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:42
			300 plus verses, even with taking days out,
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:45
			you did 300 verses a year. Imagine if
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:48
			you had started this 5, 10 years ago.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			Like most of us now, we could have
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			started this 5, 10, 15 years ago. By
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			now, we would have more or less finished
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			the Quran.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			But again, it is Shaitan that comes and
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			makes us procrastinate and delay.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			And the Quran guides them to the straight
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			path that is pleasing and beloved to Allah
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:08
			Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. Allah Azzawaj then says in
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			verse 17 which is the final verse on
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:11
			this page.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:35
			Allah
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			says
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			those who say that Allah is the Messiah,
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:47
			the son of Mary are defying the truth.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:48
			Say if
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:51
			it had been Allah's will, could anyone have
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			prevented him from destroying the Messiah, the son
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			of Mary, together with his mother and everyone
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			else on earth? Control of the heavens and
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			earth and all that is between them belongs
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			to Allah. He creates whatever He wills, and
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			Allah has power over everything.
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:04
			Allah
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			will now speak in this verse and in
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:07
			a number of verses
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:10
			concerning the belief of the Christians
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			with regards to the Messenger of Allah Isa
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			Alaihi Salat wa Salam and his mother Maryam
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			Alaihi salam And that is that as we
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:19
			know we made them gods, they made them
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:20
			gods besides Allah 'azawajal.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			They gave to them powers of divinity
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			and they claimed for example that 'Isa salam
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			was the son of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:28
			So Allah
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			says that as for those who say that
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			Allah is the son of Mary because they
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			say that God is the father, the son,
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:37
			the holy spirit. They say that Risa
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			was God upon earth in the form of
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			the son. He is God upon earth. And
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:43
			so Allah is
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:46
			recounting their claim here. He is saying that
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:46
			they claim
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:49
			that Allah is the Messiah son of Mary.
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			Those people are defying the truth. They are
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			disbelievers.
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:58
			Laqad kafar they have disbelieved in Allah azza
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			wa Jal because they have gone against the
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:01
			principle of Tawhid
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:03
			and that is that Allah azza wa Jal
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:05
			alone is worthy of worship. So when they
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:06
			gave to a human,
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
			1 of the creations of Allah, even though
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:10
			he is 1 of the greatest of Allah's
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:12
			creations because he is the messenger of Allah.
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:14
			But once they gave him more than what
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			Allah attributed to him, they placed him upon
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			a station and a pedestal over and above
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:21
			what Allah had given to him, then those
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			people had essentially made shirk with Allah subhanahu
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			wa ta'ala say to show that Mirissa
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:27
			and his mother and no 1 else has
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:28
			power besides Allah
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			say who would save them?
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			Risa,
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:35
			his mom, his mother, and everyone on earth
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:38
			if Allah decided to destroy them. Who could
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39
			prevent this?
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			No 1 would come and stand before Allah
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			subhanahu wa ta'ala and that shows therefore that
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:45
			if Isa alayhis salam and his mother Maniam
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			are not able to stop the the or
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:50
			withstand the destruction that Allah azza wa Jal
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:51
			had his will could decree,
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:53
			they wouldn't be able to stop themselves from
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			the punishment of Allah azza wa Jal, they
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:56
			wouldn't be able to withstand the decree of
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, then they cannot be
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
			gods besides Allah because they are inherently weak
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:03
			If they cannot stop the punishment,
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:05
			death,
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:06
			harm,
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			they are then weak. And if they are
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10
			weak, they cannot be gods besides Allah subhanahu
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:12
			wa ta'ala. Because our God is all powerful.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:13
			Our
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15
			God is all ever living. Our God is
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			1 that no 1 can overcome and no
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:18
			1 can overpower.
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:19
			And that is why Allah concludes
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:21
			this verse by saying,
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:28
			and indeed everything, control of the heavens, dominion
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:30
			of the heavens and the earth and all
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:31
			that is in between them belongs to Allah
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			alone.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:34
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the 1 who
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:37
			controls everything alone Subhanu wa Ta'ala.
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:40
			And Allah gives to whomsoever he wills from
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:42
			his creation a status he wishes to afford
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:45
			to them. But that doesn't mean that they
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			have the power of being the divine. It
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49
			doesn't mean that they are equals to Allah
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			azza wa Jal or partners with him that
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			deserve to be worshipped alongside him? Rather Allah
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:56
			Azza wa Jal alone is the 1 who
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:58
			controls the heavens and earth and everything in
		
00:25:58 --> 00:25:58
			between,
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			and he creates whatever he wills. So the
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:05
			creation of Isa Alaihi Salam which was without
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			a father, just from a mother, That's from
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			the signs of Allah, from the power of
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:10
			Allah azza wa jal. We don't take that
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			to say that therefore Allah is his father
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			because there was no other father.
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			Or that Adam alayhis salaam had neither mother
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			nor father. Therefore Allah is is his father
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:21
			or something. That's not what it means. It
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
