00:00:51 --> 00:00:55
			on page 124, which is in the
seventh jewels of the Quran surah
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			two, either. In the previous
episode we mentioned those verses
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			which Allah subhanaw taala gave to
a number of important
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			instructions, a number of
important rulings and commands in
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			our religion, from the most
important of those that we covered
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			was the prohibition of alcohol and
gambling, and how it prevents
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			people from the remembrance of
Allah azza wa jal prevents them
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:18
			from the salah. And it is a means
by which shape and causes enmity
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			and hatred and jealousy to occur
between people. Allah subhanaw
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			taala that also gave to us a
number of verses concerning the
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			issue of some of the restrictions
of a haram that is not permissible
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			for the person in the seat of a
haram to hunt. And if they were to
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			do so, in that state of haram,
then they would have to give an
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			explanation. And the explanation
that Allah azza wa jal mentioned
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			to us in the Quran, is that they
will sacrifice a like animal a
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			similar animal from the cattle
livestock that people usually
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:51
			Slaughter from sheeps goats, cows,
camels, and so they look at the
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:55
			animal that was hunted. And then
they see and judge its equivalent
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:59
			from livestock cattle, and they
give that as a sacrifice for the
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			poor of to the poor of the harm of
Mecca. And Allah azza wa jal says
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			that that determination that
judgment of what is a similar
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:09
			animal, what is it like for like
animal, it's something that should
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:13
			be done by to just knowledgeable
people from amongst you. And as we
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:17
			said, last week, the companions of
the Allahu Allah which Marian, for
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
			a number of those animals, they
said that this animal equals a cow
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			or a camel or a sheep, and so on
and so forth.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:31
			Today we continue from verse
number 97. In surah, two either
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			and that is the statement of Allah
subhanho wa Taala or all the real
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:39
			law human a shape or regime. There
are no law who can't imagine being
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:44
			eaten haram at the yum and in
nurse you will shall have haram I
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			will healthier
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:52
			than he can eat animal and Allah
Allah mammography. Semoga T one
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:59
			man fill out the one Allah. When
Allah hubbie coalition in Heini,
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:04
			Allah has made the carrabba the
Sacred House, a means of support
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:08
			for people and the secret months,
the animals were sacrificed and
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			the garlands, all of this, know
that Allah has donated his
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			knowledge of all that is in the
heavens and earth, and that he is
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:18
			fully aware of all things after
Allah subhanaw taala mentioned in
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			the previous verses that we
covered in the last episode, some
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:25
			of the issues with regards to
haram and the Hajj and Umrah and
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			how there are certain restrictions
in the city of Haram as we know.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			So when you come into the street
of haram, there are certain things
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			that is not allowed for you to do
so long as you're in the city of
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			Salem. You can't remove hair, you
can't trim nails, you can't apply
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			perfume, certain things that
actually is with haram from those
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			things, as we mentioned was
hunting. And Allah azza wa jal
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			said that so long as you remain in
the seat of haram, then hunting is
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50
			something which is also restricted
for you in that state. But once
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			you come out of the state of
haram, then it is something which
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:57
			is permissible. Allah subhanaw
taala that because he's speaking
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			about these issues with regards to
hunch, Allah azza wa jal speaks
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:04
			about some of the practices of the
Arabs with regards to Hajj and
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			Elijah dimensions that which is
venerated with regards to the Hajj
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			and the pilgrimage, and those
things that should be venerated,
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			and then Allah azza wa jal will go
on in a few verses to speak about
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			some of the practices of the
pagans and the way that they would
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			deal with this issue of sacrifices
and so on.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			Allah azza wa jal Miss 97
Therefore, he says,
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:29
			John Allah one comma Tubbataha
Rama pmle nas, Allah subhanaw
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:33
			taala has made the Kaaba the
secret house, a means of support
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:37
			for people, meaning it is the
place where they come
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41
			to Yama means a place of standing,
it is a place of standing in terms
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			of their religious in the
religious sense, because that is
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:48
			where people come to ALLAH SubhanA
data and to and to praise Him and
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			to worship Him and to glorify Him
is something when they come in
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:55
			order to you know, and now for the
Muslims as well. They go there we
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			what we do is we go there and we
worship Allah azza wa jal declares
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			the heat, we submit our
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:05
			subseries merci Subhana wa Tada.
But also it is PR manliness, and
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			it is a place of standing for
people, because Allah azza wa jal
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:11
			has made the city of Mecca and the
karma in that region, a place of
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:15
			trade and commerce and a place
where people go and they exchange
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			their goods, and they benefit each
other in terms of their dunya as
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:21
			well. And that is something which
existed before Islam. So even
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			though in the times of Jay Helia,
the religious element had become
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:28
			diluted and distorted and twisted
and manipulated. And so it was no
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			longer upon the religion of
Ibrahim Ali salatu salam, but the
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			other side of it was something
which was still there. And that is
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:39
			an in the worldly sense, the
Kurdish benefited from the 1000s
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42
			of people that would come and
annually to make pilgrimage in the
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			city of Mecca for mall of Arabia,
and they would bring with them
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			their trade goods, they will bring
with them their commerce, they
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:50
			will bring with them the things
that they would exchange and
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			bought and buy and sell. And you
have therefore a commercial center
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:57
			imagery in the city of Mecca, just
like it is today after Islam.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			today. It is the same thing. If
you were to go that you would see
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:04
			as everyone who has been to Mecca
and Medina can attest to it is a
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07
			place not only of Riba and
worship, but it's also a place of
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:11
			commerce, so many businesses, so
many shops, so many malls, and so
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			that has always been the way that
the city of Mecca is and that is
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			one of the ways that Allah azza wa
jal blesses the people of Mecca.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			One of the ways that Allah honored
the people of Makkah, is that
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			trade and commerce comes to them,
then by virtue of them living in
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			the Haram, Allah azza wa jal has
made life easy for them because in
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			the past, people would have to
travel. Not everyone's going to
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:33
			every city not every city is big
or major or a trading post. But
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:37
			Allah Azza Domaine sit in the city
of Mecca one of those and so when
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			Ibrahim Ali Sinha made the I O
Allah and provide for its
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:43
			inhabitants, Allah azza wa jal
responded. And Allah answered that
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			dua This is one of the ways in
which it was answered.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			Allah azza wa jal says and
likewise from that which Allah
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:54
			subhanaw taala has made sequined
or the secret months a shepherd
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:58
			haram, the secret months being the
month of Shawwal, and Okada. I
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:02
			will look at the Andrew Hijjah and
Rajan these four months in Islamic
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			year the lunar Islamic calendar,
or secret months, meaning to do
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:11
			haram in them is worse to oppress
in them to transgress in them to
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			do evil in them is worse than the
rest of the months of the year
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			because Allah azza wa jal gave to
them the sanctity as Allah
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			subhanaw taala mentions in the
Quran Inshallah, when we come to
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
			that verse, around Surah Tober,
Allah azza wa jal will say that
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:26
			the Allah Allah subhana let's
please 12 months in the minha,
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:30
			Arbitron forum from amongst them
are four, there are secret. These
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			are also something Oh, this was
another practice of the pre
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:38
			Islamic Arabs, the Jahai, the
Arabs that Islam confirmed, Islam
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:42
			kept, they used to honor the
sacred months, but they will twist
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			them or manipulate them, they will
bring them forward or they will
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			delete them according to their
whims and desires and according to
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:51
			their interests, their benefits
and their circumstances. And loss
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:55
			of habitat is not the fixed in the
religion of Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:59
			But the concept, the essence of it
is something which Islam kept well
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			heavy, and likewise the sacrifice
meaning that which you want to
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:06
			slaughter in Mecca, in terms of
your pilgrimage, that is something
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			which Allah azza wa jal also
honored because Arabs is to honor
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			it as well. And that's why Allah
Subhana Allah then says, and then
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:15
			Garland's will collide. A garland
is essentially a rosette type of
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:18
			thing or something that is placed
around the neck of the animal to
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:22
			signify that it is going to be
started in the Haram. That's what
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			the Arabs used to do. Because you
can imagine if you're traveling
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:28
			for hundreds of miles, hundreds of
kilometers from one place to
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			another, you have a great deal of
animals with you, you have the
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			ones that you're writing, ones
that you will probably going to
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:35
			slaughter along the way and eat
from and then you have sacrifice
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38
			as well how are you going to
distinguish this, what they used
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41
			to do is they put a garden around
it, and that's they get something
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:46
			like fiber, like the palm tree
fiber, and they make a rosette a
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:51
			ring or circle it and then they
put it on the around the the the
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54
			neck of the animal that's going to
be slaughtered for the sake of
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			Allah subhanaw taala that is all
about it. And that is something
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			which the Arabs used to do before
and it's something then which
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			Islam also confirmed the prophets
of Allah while he was selling
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			mister in the hadith of Aisha,
Radi Allahu Allah. And she said
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			that I used to make the guidance
for the sacrifices of the prophets
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			of Allah when he was sent him with
my own two hands. And then he
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:13
			would place them on those animals
and he will send them towards
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:17
			Mecca with whoever was going for
the pilgrimage of that particular
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:21
			year. And so the prophets of Allah
while he was selling them, and
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24
			affirmed this as a practice as
well. And all of these are symbols
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:28
			of honoring the region of Allah
subhanaw taala. When you the Arabs
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			before Islam, if they saw the
animal with the garden, they
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:33
			wouldn't take it, they wouldn't
steal it, they wouldn't harm it.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:37
			They might take other animals,
they might harm other animals, but
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			they're not going to harm that one
because they know that it's been
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42
			earmarked for the harm of Allah
subhanaw taala and so these are
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:45
			the different ways that they will
honor the religion of Allah azza
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			wa jal in their time before Islam
with order they shook and all of
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			their practices are idolatry. So
when it comes to the Muslims, we
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:55
			should be more we should be people
who have a great honor for the
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			symbols of our religion, and for
that which Allah azza wa jal has
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			given to it a sanctity
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			Daddy can you turn them on Allah?
Yeah and Mo mafia semi Watty Well
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:06
			my friend out of that is that you
may know that Allah has knowledge
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:09
			of all things that is in the
heavens and the earth one Allah be
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:13
			equally Sheena and him and Allah
azza wa jal is fully aware of all
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			things from his knowledge
dependent data, therefore is what
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:19
			should be made sacred sacred, well
as the sanctity attached to it,
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:23
			which should be honored and
respected in that way. Investment
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:27
			imagine it Allah azza wa jal then
continues and says Allah mu and
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:32
			Allah Harsha de don't recall me
will not Allah have off war on
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:36
			Rakeem no to that Allah is Severe
and punishment. Yeah, Most
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:40
			Forgiving and most Merciful. Allah
subhanaw taala gives to us these
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:43
			two attributes of his subhanaw
taala. On the one hand, the
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46
			attributes of mercy, of
forgiveness of kindness or
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49
			generosity that you hope in
Allah's mercy, that no matter how
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:52
			much evil you may do, how many
sins you may commit, the door of
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:55
			Toba is always open for you. As we
mentioned before in previous
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:59
			episodes, the story of the man who
killed 99 men, and then he made
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02
			the 100 and Allah azza wa jal
forgive him when he meets sincere
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:05
			Toba and repentance. That door of
Toba is always open for the non
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			Muslim that Toba is to accept
Islam and say that he that in
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:12
			Allah and he wipes the slate
clean. And for the Muslim it is
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			that they tend to Allah azza wa
jal with acts of Toba, making dua
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:19
			making stick for asking Allah for
his forgiveness making Toba as
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			mentioned in the Sunnah of the
prophets of Allah and He will send
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:25
			them in that you make pray to
records and so on. All of that is
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:28
			to show you that that door is
always open so long as your soul
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31
			is not about to leave the body and
so long as the punishment on
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:35
			Yeoman Yama is not about to
descend upon you. That door is
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:38
			always open, but at the same time,
Allah azza wa jal is also shoddy
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:42
			to the curb. Allah is Severe this
punishment, Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			is someone who if people don't
repent, they don't then turn back
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48
			to him. They don't accept his
religion, Allah azza wa jal has
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51
			prepared for them the worst of
punishments in the fire of *.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:55
			And so the believer therefore is
between these two states of hope
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			and fear, they know that they can
hope and Allah's agenda and His
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:01
			mercy. And that makes it gives
them hope gives them the ability
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			to do good gives them gives them
the ability to be optimistic, but
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:08
			at the same time, they know that
Allah's punishment is also severe.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11
			So they fear Him subhanaw taala.
And they fear the Fire of *.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:15
			And they fear doing haram lest
they be someone who is taken
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			towards that Punisher to Allah
insurgency was from that. And
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:22
			those two things hope and fear are
described by the scholars as being
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:25
			the two wings of the believer. If
one wing is longer than the other,
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			or if one wing is clipped off, or
there's only one, no wings or
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			whatever it may be, then there's
always going to be problems in
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:35
			terms of the way that that bird
can fly. It won't be be able to
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			live the way that it's meant to
live. But when you have two wings
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:42
			that are proportionate, that have
been beautifully shaped, that are
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:45
			in balance, then that bird can
soar to the greatest heights. And
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:48
			that is the way that the believer
is they always balance between
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51
			these two things between the hope
of Allah azza wa jal and the fear
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			of Allah subhanho wa taala.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			In verse Nightline, Allah azza wa
jal
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:02
			says murder was only ill Bella
wala who we are under moment to be
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:06
			doing our magic to mourn. The
messengers duty is only to deliver
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09
			the message Allah knows what you
reveal, and what it is that you
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:13
			conceal. Allah subhanaw taala
tells us therefore, that the
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			prophets of Allah while he was
sending me is only here to tell
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			you the commands of Allah azza wa
jal with regards to alcohol with
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:21
			regards to gambling with regards
to the heat with regards to the
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:25
			restrictions of haram with regards
to what is a sanctity, to attach
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:28
			to it and so on. All of these, the
prophets of Allah and he was
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:31
			telling me his job is only to
convey me and you as Muslims, we
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			know the station of Salah, we know
the station of xicana is
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:38
			important. He conveyed the message
to us, whether we accept it now or
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:42
			don't, whether we apply it or
don't, whether we live in
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:46
			accordance with those instructions
or not. That is between us and
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			Allah subhanaw taala But Allah's
Allah's Messenger sallallahu
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:52
			alayhi wa sallam fulfilled his
duty, he conveyed the message, and
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55
			he did as he was commanded by
Allah azza wa jal, and Allah knows
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:59
			Allahu Allah mama to do our magic
Timon Allah knows that which you
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:04
			reveal and that which you conceal.
In verse 100, Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:09
			tells us colors that will cubby
through work for you boo alo Jabba
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:16
			teta Salatin for me for talkin La
Jolla only let them to flee one,
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:20
			sale prophets of Allah while he
was selling them evil, cannot be
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:23
			likened to good or bad cannot be
likened to good. Though you may be
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:27
			dazzled by how abundant abundant
the bad is, be mindful of Allah
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:30
			for people of understanding so
that you may prosper.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:34
			Allah subhanaw taala says and this
is something which we know using
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:38
			an intellectual proof that we
understand that which is filthy
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:42
			and impure can never be equal to
what is pure, that which is good,
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:47
			can never be equal to that which
is bad. And so therefore, likewise
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:50
			that which is righteous cannot be
the same as that which is sinful.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:55
			And Eman cannot be the same as
disbelief and loving and following
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			and believing in the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam cannot
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			be equal to rejecting the prophets
of Allah wa
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			Muslim and believing in the Quran
and reading it and following it
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:06
			and memorize it and understanding
it cannot be the same as
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:10
			disbelieving in it and rejecting
it. So we can see therefore, that
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:15
			are opposite in this dunya purity
and impurity are not the same. You
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			come to a glass of water and it's
pure you drink from it, but you
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:20
			come to one and it's full of
impurities, it's full of things
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:24
			that you don't like that it's not
pleasant to see or to smell or to
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:27
			taste, you wouldn't stay away from
that, that's not going to be
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			something that you drink. So I'm
going to be something that you
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:32
			that you desire. And so therefore,
these two things are known to
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:36
			every human that they are not
equal, then likewise, other things
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			cannot be equal as well in terms
of the resistance. Well, no
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:43
			algebra, Taka throttle, Habib,
even if it is something which may
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:47
			be abundant, or you will be amazed
by how abundant areas, for
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:50
			example, sometimes, because we're
speaking about the metaphorical
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:54
			impurities as well, not just the
physical ones. So Eman and
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:57
			disbelief. The believer may look
at the disbelief and they may
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			think that this person just is
enjoying life, does what he wants,
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:02
			can say what he wants, doesn't
have to hold him as our own
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:05
			software can't do anything or
anyone does as he pleases and just
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:09
			leaves this life in pure enjoyment
and pleasure that's abundant that
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:12
			you see. But that doesn't mean
that it's good doesn't mean that
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:15
			it's equal to the pessimists ie
man and righteous deeds and What's
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:18
			your philosophy final data, you
have a person who has wealth that
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:21
			is halal, that they worked for in
a halal way they earned a halal
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:24
			way the spending in a halal way.
And then you have someone who was
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:27
			haram wealth, and they spending it
in Haram and upon haram and then
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			enjoying life and they're spending
it whatever they want dogma caring
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:33
			for anything, not giving any
charity, not looking at the rights
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:36
			of any person in terms of their
wealth. And you see that that's
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39
			abundant, especially being given
so much and there are many people
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:43
			like that. That doesn't mean that
the equal and so the Muslim has to
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			look through the lens of the
Sharia, you have to look through
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			the lens of the Quran and the
Sunnah and what Allah azza wa jal
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:51
			loves and is pleased with and when
you see that when you see
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:54
			something through that lens, then
it becomes clear to you that Allah
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:57
			azza wa jal concludes this first
by saying, for Allah, yeah, it
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:01
			will Bab be mindful of Allah or
people of understanding, Lila come
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:05
			to flee home that you may prosper.
And look at how Allah subhanaw
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:08
			taala addresses us in this lesson
says, people have an
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:11
			understanding. Because if you
don't have understanding, you
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			don't have appreciation of this
issue, where you're going to do is
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16
			you want to look at the situation
where the person who has very
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:20
			little work because they diligent
in terms of being halal, they're
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:23
			going to leave certain things
because it's got a question mark
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:26
			on it, they're going to leave
certain things because it's a gray
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29
			area, because they want their
wealth and in the provision and
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:32
			the nourishment and the clothing
to be from halal. And then on the
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			other side, you have the person
who doesn't care. By hook or by
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:37
			crook, they're going to take that
wealth and they're going to spend
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:40
			it. So just as they earn by haram
they spend a part haram whereas
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:43
			the first one isn't only diligent
in terms of the read of the urn,
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			but the diligent the way that
these spent knowing that which
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:47
			Allah is as diligent as
peacetrees, and that which he
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50
			doesn't, please, person will look
at the situation and they would if
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:53
			they don't have the correct lens
on the correct glasses, they will
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:56
			look at the second person, the one
who's earning haram spending and
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59
			haram and they would favor that
one. They will say that's the one
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:02
			that's been blessed. That's the
one that's been honored, as Elijah
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			would tell us later on when it
comes to sort of fossils in the
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:07
			story of our room, and the wealth
that he was given and how some
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			people looked at him and they
said, finally we had waffler
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:13
			cartoon for him, you will rich and
minting it like cartoon. And then
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:16
			on the other hand, you had the
believers who looked at it and
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:19
			they said, that's a test from
Allah subhanaw taala. That there
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:22
			that's a test for this man.
Because this man is only doing
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:25
			that which Allah is displeased
with. He's using that wealth and
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:29
			it's corrupting him. And so the
person who has the correct lens on
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			we'll look at that first person
who's poor, maybe or poor or not
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
			necessarily Papa is poor, or is
living within his means. And he's
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			earning Khaled and doing heroin
and spending and heroin. The
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:41
			believers the one who looks at
that person and say mashallah, and
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:44
			nice to see from Allah's
punishment Inshallah, at least
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			this person can stand before Allah
azza wa jal and say Oh Allah, I
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:50
			did my best to the best of my
ability to earn halal and to
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:54
			spread haram. And so the two are
not are not equal. So feel Allah
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:57
			azza wa jal if you have
understanding, so that you may
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:03
			gain success in verse 101, Allah
subhanaw taala then tells us Yeah,
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:06
			a un levena Amanullah and we're
Anisha
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:13
			together come come we're in this
and we're unhappy in a euro zone
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:19
			or an OCT della calm Avila who and
her hola hola fooled on Haleem are
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:23
			you who believed in Alaska but
matters which if made known to you
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:26
			might make things difficult for
you. If you ask about the monster
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:30
			Quran has been revealed, they will
be made known to you for Allah has
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:33
			kept silent about them, Allah is
Most forgiving and forbearing.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:37
			Allah subhana data in this verse
gives an instruction to the
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:40
			believers primarily at the time of
the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:43
			but as a general ruling for every
Muslim, and that is the you should
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:46
			be careful about what you ask for
in the time of revelation in the
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			time of the Prophet salallahu
Alaihe Salam, they should be
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:51
			mindful of the questions that they
asked because as a result of
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:54
			revelation may come because of the
prophets of Allah when Islam was
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			asked the question he must
respond, he must conveyed the
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			vision of Allah subhanaw taala and
Allah azza wa jal has kept
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			Quiet on certain things, or a Rama
or have mercy for you, so that you
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:07
			don't need to place upon yourself
a burden that is to break Tibet.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:11
			But if you ask and you speak and
then that made that ruling may
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:14
			harm you. Or you may ask a
question that isn't about a
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:17
			ruling, but its knowledge may not
benefit you. It may harm like, for
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:20
			example, the Hadith in Sahih,
Muslim Hadith and so on the Allah
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:23
			one where the man came and he said
to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:28
			wa sallam, or messenger of Allah,
whereas my father, my father died,
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			where is he? Where's his abode?
Where's his final destination
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:33
			going to be? In the Prophet SAW,
Selim was asked the question. So
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			he looked at the men and he said,
your father is in the fire. That
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:40
			question doesn't help that man in
any way doesn't doesn't make
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:43
			anything easy for him does it
doesn't give him any closure does
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45
			it make? And so Allah Azza was
saying to the believers, be
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:48
			careful what it is that you ask
for. What other incident when the
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51
			man came to the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, and the Prophet
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:54
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was
speaking about Hajj. And so the
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:57
			man asked our messenger of Allah
every year, do we have to make
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:00
			Hajj? Is it obligatory every year?
Can you imagine if me and you
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:04
			today, and all of the 1 billion
plus Muslims had to go and perform
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:07
			Hajj each and every single year
because of the question of that
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:10
			man. The Prophet said and looked
at him and he said, If I had said
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:14
			yes, then you'd have to do it. And
you wouldn't be able to do so.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:17
			Because he knew some Allahu Allahu
Salam even at that time, people
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:21
			going to make Hajj every year. So
then he said, leave me alone. If I
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			don't say anything, meaning the
things that I had explicitly say,
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:27
			understand from it, that it's okay
you'll need to go and, and go and
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:30
			start delving into these types of
issues. Because if you ask,
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			especially once the Quran has been
revealed, then that is something
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:38
			which may, which may be something
which which which revelation is
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:41
			then revealed concerning it is
made known to you. And it may make
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:44
			things difficult for you. And we
have given examples of this
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:48
			already in Surah Baqarah, in the
story of Musa Ali Salaam and the
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:51
			story of the incident of the cow,
and how when they were given the
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			instruction of sorting the cow,
they kept asking excessive
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:56
			questions, more details, more
information, more attributes of
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:59
			the cow more descriptions, and
Allah azza wa jal just made it
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:02
			more and more difficult upon them.
And so therefore, the believers
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:06
			told that which doesn't concern
you don't mind yourself with it.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:09
			In our time, this is also
something which is applicable.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:12
			It's applicable into in the way
that we deal with one another,
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			there are certain things that you
don't need to know about people's
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17
			businesses and their affairs, stay
away from it. And even when it
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:20
			comes to Islamic knowledge, there
are certain things that you're not
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			ready for yet in the sense that
you need to start with the
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:25
			foundations and you build yourself
up not that it's exclusive
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:28
			knowledge. But there's a way that
you seek knowledge. If you're
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			going to go and study science, you
don't go and start studying
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:33
			advanced physics. before you've
even understood the basics of it.
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:36
			You're not going to go and start
studying advanced medicine and
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:39
			surgery. You don't even know the
basics of medicine. There is a way
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42
			that you learn and there's a way
that you seek knowledge. And so
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			even Islam, there is a way that
you should be doing things rather
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:49
			than asking excessive questions in
which you just confuse yourself or
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:53
			you cause harm to yourself and to
towards others. If Allah Allah
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56
			Allah, Allah azza wa jal said that
Allah subhanaw taala has forgiven
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:59
			you for certain things, meaning
that Allah kept quiet about them.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:02
			And Allah azza wa jal if he keeps
quiet about something our Lord and
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:05
			our greeter it's not because he
forgot subhanaw taala it's not
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:08
			because of any forgetfulness,
Allah is perfect subhanaw taala in
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:11
			his knowledge, Allah has it in his
perfect in all of his attributes,
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:15
			but Allah kept quiet because Allah
has really wanted to make a Rama
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:16
			for the ummah.
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:23
			And that is Allah Azza didn't says
investments 102. But this mean
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:27
			commonly come from elsewhere, when
we had caffeine, before you some
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:30
			people asked about things, and
then ignored the answers. And
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:33
			that's something which we know as
we give the example of the story
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			of moose and the people of the cow
and others, they would ask these
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:38
			questions that Allah would tell
them, and then they would ignore
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:41
			it anyway. They wouldn't even do
what Allah azza wa jal commanded.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:44
			And so therefore, the Muslim is
told to be someone who doesn't
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			follow in the footsteps of those
people who are just simply
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:49
			argumentative, and there is no
benefit in the excessive
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:53
			questioning. The final verse on
this page verse 403, Allah
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:58
			subhanaw taala tells us Magi Allah
Allah who mean the hero team when
		
00:23:58 --> 00:23:58
			as
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:05
			a team when I will see in a team
when a ham you want to Kin Lavina
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:11
			Cafaro whatnot in Lavina. For all
we have done and Allah He can walk
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:15
			the room Leia in one, Allah did
not Institute the dedication of
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:19
			such things as by hearsay by will
see low harm to idols, but the
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:22
			disbelievers in written lies about
Allah Most of them do not use
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:25
			reason. So Allah azza wa jal have
to mention to us those verses that
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:28
			we said at the beginning of this
episode, concerning sacrifice and
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:31
			honoring the sacred rights of
Allah azza wa jal from the being
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:34
			the sacrificial animals, Allah
subhanaw taala system they will
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:37
			practices that the Arabs in the
politics said that Allah didn't
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:40
			sanction that Allah didn't
legislate with regards to the
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			animals. So from amongst them is
that they would have when Allah
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:46
			azza wa jal calls the Bagheera.
The hero is the animal that they
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:50
			would take like the camel, and
they would cut it slit its ears,
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:54
			slit its ears, and then they will
say that this animal, it is haram
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57
			for you to write, haram for you to
work in the fields haram to you
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			for you to carry luggage upon. It
is something which we have to
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			is dedicated to the gods it is
free to roam. That is one of the
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:06
			ways that they would honor their
idols and the gods, or the cyber,
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:10
			the cyber is the animal, whether
it's a camel or a sheep, or an
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:14
			aura, or a goat or cow. And they
would say the same thing that this
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:18
			animal Stan allowed for you to
ride upon, not allowed for you to
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:21
			eat, not allowed for you to use to
carry my lead for you to use to
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:24
			tell the EFF and so they would
have these animals that they would
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:27
			for one reason or another through
the omens that they will see.
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:31
			Because this animal gave birth to
a certain child or a certain
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:34
			failed female or male on
successive occasions, or this
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:37
			animal something happened, they
would use these omens that they
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			would have these superstitions,
and they would say, No, this
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:43
			animal now is sacred, has to be
dedicated to our idols that are
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:46
			godlike, they will see that they
will see those the animal that
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:48
			Allah has mentioned in his
restaurant, Allah didn't sanction
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:51
			that will see that as the animal
they used to give birth to
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:55
			successive female children. So the
success of female children, they
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:58
			will see that as a sign of honor,
or they will see that as a as an
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:01
			omen, that therefore this animal
should be something that shouldn't
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:06
			be slaughtered. A child, a female
calf, and then another one and
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:10
			then another 123 occasions, they
will say this animal now is haram
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:13
			for us to eat and so on. And the
ham is similar, similar to that as
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:16
			well. These are animals that they
would use all of them according to
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:19
			their superstitions, they would
slit their ears and they would
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:22
			mock them in a certain way and
they would make them haram in
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:25
			terms of using for any other
purpose except to dedicate to the
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:28
			gods Allah azza wa jal says, Well,
I can live in a CAFO afternoon and
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:32
			Allah will kill him. All of these
are invented lies ascribed to
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:35
			Allah azza wa jal by the
disbelievers work through whom if
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:40
			you don't and most of them do not
see reason and within inshallah
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:44
			Tada we come to the end of today's
episode BarakAllahu freecom or
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:46
			Salah will send them out and then
beat them hammer Dinoire there it
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:49
			was for me as mine was sent Mr.
Ali Kumar from Atala he will
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			Baraka Bismillah
