I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed

00:00:09 --> 00:00:14

Satan In the name of Allah, Most Gracious,

00:00:15 --> 00:00:23

Most Merciful Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh In the

00:00:23 --> 00:00:24

name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful All

00:00:24 --> 00:00:25

praise is due to Allah, Lord of the

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

worlds No punishment is due to the righteous

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

No aggression is due except against the wrongdoers

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

I bear witness that there is no god

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

but Allah He is alone and has no

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

partner I bear witness that there is no

00:00:34 --> 00:00:34

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

00:00:38 --> 00:00:43

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

there is no god but Allah He is

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

alone and has no partner I bear witness

00:00:46 --> 00:00:50

that there is no god but Allah I

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

bear witness that there is no god but

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

Allah He is alone and has no partner

00:00:54 --> 00:01:00

I bear witness that there is no god

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

but Allah He is alone and has no

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

partner I bear witness that there is no

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

god but Allah He is alone and has

00:01:06 --> 00:01:22

no

00:01:22 --> 00:01:22

partner I bear witness that there is no

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

god but Allah He is alone and has

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

no partner I bear witness that there is

00:01:25 --> 00:01:25

no god but Allah He is alone and

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26

has no partner I bear witness that there

00:01:26 --> 00:01:26

is no god but Allah He is alone

00:01:26 --> 00:01:26

and has no partner I bear witness that

00:01:26 --> 00:01:26

there is no god but Allah He is

00:01:26 --> 00:01:26

alone and has no partner I bear witness

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

that there is no god but Allah He

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

is alone and has no partner I bear

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

witness that there is no god but Allah

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

He is alone and has no partner Ibrahim

00:01:32 --> 00:01:35

a.s. mentions to us in those verses

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38

that we covered in the previous episode he

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

looked at the universe what he could see

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

of it from around him and he looked

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

at the stars and he looked at the

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

moon and he looked at the sun and

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

each one of them he said to them

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50

theoretically a claim could be made that it

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

has divinity or that it is the lord

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

and the creator of god worthy of being

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57

worshipped, but each one of them sets, each

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

one of them becomes invisible, each one of

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

them is on a set course that it

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

doesn't have the power or the ability to

00:02:04 --> 00:02:07

be able to stop or to change so

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

the sun the moon, the stars there is

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11

a time when you can't see them, they're

00:02:11 --> 00:02:14

not visible they set to the visible eye,

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

to the people that are looking towards the

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19

sky and when the sun sets or the

00:02:19 --> 00:02:22

moon sets or the stars disappear they're not

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25

able, they don't have the ability to change

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

that outcome for themselves each and every single

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

day they're on a course and that course

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

is a fixed course that Allah set them

00:02:31 --> 00:02:35

upon and so Ibrahim each time that one

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

of those things happen to the sun, the

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

moon, the stars they set in their own

00:02:39 --> 00:02:42

way Ibrahim said that this can't be the

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45

truly powerful creator that is worthy of being

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47

worshipped alone when it is limited in its

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

own power in its own ability, in its

00:02:49 --> 00:02:52

own determination of its course and so then

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

he came to the conclusion with his people

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

that therefore there must be a God that

00:02:56 --> 00:03:00

is all-powerful all-able, jalla fi'ula

00:03:00 --> 00:03:01

worthy of being worshipped alone subhanahu wa ta

00:03:01 --> 00:03:03

'ala and that is Allah azza wa jal

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05

his people as Allah azza wa jal told

00:03:05 --> 00:03:08

us they disputed this and they debated with

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

him and Allah azza wa jal will mention

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

these disputes and debates in more detail elsewhere

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15

in the Quran Ibrahim a.s. said to

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17

them why should I fear your gods when

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

they're not gods, they're not false, they're not

00:03:19 --> 00:03:22

true gods besides Allah azza wa jal and

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24

you don't fear my God that is alone

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

the one true God that is all-powerful

00:03:26 --> 00:03:29

and all-able almighty subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:03:29 --> 00:03:32

Ibrahim a.s. as we know left his

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

people and Allah azza wa jal bestowed upon

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

him many blessings and from those blessings is

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

the ones that Allah azza wa jal will

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40

now mention to us at the beginning of

00:03:41 --> 00:03:44

in verse number 84 with which we begin

00:03:44 --> 00:03:47

our episode today and that is the statement

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala a'udhu

00:03:49 --> 00:03:55

billahi minash shaitanir rajim وَوَهَبَنَا لَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ

00:03:55 --> 00:04:02

كُلًّا هَدَيْنَا وَنُوحًا هَدَيْنَا مِن قَبْل وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِ

00:04:02 --> 00:04:09

دَاوُودَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ وَأَيُوبَ وَيُوسُفَ وَمُوسَى وَهَارُونَ وَكَذَلِكَ

00:04:09 --> 00:04:18

نَجَزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ وَكَذَلِكَ

00:04:18 --> 00:05:00

نَجَزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ Allah

00:05:00 --> 00:05:01

subhanahu wa ta'ala and this is a

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

beautiful point that we take from this story

00:05:03 --> 00:05:06

of Ibrahim a.s Allah azza wa jal

00:05:06 --> 00:05:09

once he had sacrificed for Allah submitted to

00:05:09 --> 00:05:12

Allah being patient with the trials and ordeals

00:05:12 --> 00:05:13

that Allah azza wa jal had placed in

00:05:13 --> 00:05:16

his path with his people and then he

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

is now exiled all of these are extremely

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

difficult challenges and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:05:19 --> 00:05:22

extremely difficult trials but once he passed each

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

one Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala then gave

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

to him the greatest of blessings that Allah

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

azza wa jal can bestow upon any person

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

and that is a child not only that

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32

but Allah azza wa jal honored the children

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35

of Ibrahim a.s both his sons were

00:05:35 --> 00:05:37

prophets and his grandson was a prophet and

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

his great grandson was a prophet in fact

00:05:39 --> 00:05:42

we know that every single prophet that came

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

after him would be from the progeny of

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

Ibrahim a.s and so Allah azza wa

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

jal honors people when they sacrifice for his

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51

sake, when they give up something for his

00:05:51 --> 00:05:54

sake, Allah azza wa jal honors those people

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

and blesses them those people who submit to

00:05:57 --> 00:06:01

his cause and are willingly giving to him

00:06:01 --> 00:06:03

subhanahu wa ta'ala Allah azza wa jal

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05

says that we gave to him Ishaq and

00:06:05 --> 00:06:08

we gave to him Yaqub and each one

00:06:08 --> 00:06:11

of these we guided, we guided them to

00:06:11 --> 00:06:13

the straight path we guided them with their

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

knowledge, through their actions because they are prophets

00:06:15 --> 00:06:18

of Allah a.s and Allah azza wa

00:06:18 --> 00:06:21

jal begins with Ishaq and Yaqub here as

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

opposed to Ismail even though Ismail is older

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25

and he is mentioned later on in this

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28

passage but he mentions Ishaq first because Allah

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

azza wa jal is speaking about the blessing

00:06:30 --> 00:06:34

of Allah upon Ibrahim of his progeny and

00:06:34 --> 00:06:37

prophethood through them and no doubt the majority

00:06:37 --> 00:06:38

of the prophets that Allah azza wa jal

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41

sent after Ibrahim were from the children and

00:06:41 --> 00:06:45

the descendants of Ishaq a.s all of

00:06:45 --> 00:06:52

them we guided and Nuh we guided before

00:06:52 --> 00:06:56

them, meaning before Ishaq and Yaqub before Ibrahim

00:06:56 --> 00:06:59

a.s Nuh came before all of them

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

he was the first messenger of Allah to

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03

the people of earth as the prophet told

00:07:03 --> 00:07:08

us so Nuh a.s came before them

00:07:08 --> 00:07:10

and he was also guided he was also

00:07:10 --> 00:07:11

upon the path of the prophets and the

00:07:11 --> 00:07:14

messengers and this shows to you the mention

00:07:14 --> 00:07:16

of all of these names of prophets in

00:07:16 --> 00:07:19

this passage how Allah azza wa jal mentions

00:07:19 --> 00:07:21

them all together shows that they were upon

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23

the same message that they came with the

00:07:23 --> 00:07:26

same message upon the same foundation and religion

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

calling to the same call to worship Allah

00:07:28 --> 00:07:32

azza wa jal alone and from his progeny

00:07:32 --> 00:07:35

from his descendants and the scholars of Tafsir

00:07:35 --> 00:07:37

differ here as to who is being referred

00:07:37 --> 00:07:40

to here in the pronoun of his descendants

00:07:40 --> 00:07:43

whose descendants are we referring to here are

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

we speaking about Nuh a.s because he

00:07:45 --> 00:07:46

is the one that Allah azza wa jal

00:07:46 --> 00:07:50

just mentioned and Nuh we guided before him

00:07:50 --> 00:07:53

and from his descendants or are we speaking

00:07:53 --> 00:07:56

about the descendants of Ibrahim a.s that

00:07:56 --> 00:07:57

Allah azza wa jal begins this verse with

00:07:57 --> 00:07:59

and both of these are positions amongst the

00:07:59 --> 00:08:01

scholars of Tafsir and that is because Allah

00:08:01 --> 00:08:03

azza wa jal will mention in this verse

00:08:03 --> 00:08:05

and the next verse and the verse after

00:08:05 --> 00:08:07

they will mention subhanahu wa ta'ala a

00:08:07 --> 00:08:10

number of prophets from those prophets is Lot

00:08:10 --> 00:08:13

a.s Lot a.s is the nephew

00:08:13 --> 00:08:16

of Nuh a.s and because he is

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18

the nephew of Nuh a.s so therefore

00:08:18 --> 00:08:20

not from his progeny not from his direct

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22

descendants he is his nephew some of the

00:08:22 --> 00:08:23

scholars say that Allah azza wa jal when

00:08:23 --> 00:08:26

he is speaking here about the descendants and

00:08:26 --> 00:08:28

from his descendants we gave to him is

00:08:28 --> 00:08:30

referring to Nuh because Nuh from his descendants

00:08:30 --> 00:08:34

would be Ibrahim would be Lot and would

00:08:34 --> 00:08:35

be one of these other prophets which Allah

00:08:35 --> 00:08:38

azza wa jal mentions within these next few

00:08:38 --> 00:08:40

verses that is one position amongst the scholars

00:08:40 --> 00:08:42

of Tafsir another is from amongst the scholars

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

of Tafsir said it is Ibrahim a.s

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46

that is being referred to and even though

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48

Lot is not from his progeny but is

00:08:48 --> 00:08:51

his nephew Lot a.s accepted the message

00:08:51 --> 00:08:53

of his uncle Ibrahim and became a believer

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

as a result and so it is as

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

if he is a child to him in

00:08:57 --> 00:08:59

that sense because the prophets of Allah are

00:08:59 --> 00:09:01

fathers to their nations as the prophet told

00:09:01 --> 00:09:04

us that he is the father of this

00:09:04 --> 00:09:07

Ummah meaning the station that he is given

00:09:07 --> 00:09:08

he is like a father in the way

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

that he looks after them guides them, helps

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12

them, advises them that is the role of

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14

the prophets of Allah and in that sense

00:09:14 --> 00:09:16

Lot a.s would be like a child

00:09:16 --> 00:09:21

to Ibrahim a.s either way whichever one

00:09:21 --> 00:09:22

there is not a big difference in terms

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

of the meaning and no doubt both of

00:09:24 --> 00:09:27

these are fathers, some of the scholars of

00:09:27 --> 00:09:31

history said that there were three fathers for

00:09:31 --> 00:09:35

mankind the first of them was Adam a

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37

.s and the second of them was Noah

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39

a.s that is why you will find

00:09:39 --> 00:09:40

in some books that he is often referred

00:09:40 --> 00:09:43

to as Al-Abu Thani, the second father

00:09:43 --> 00:09:46

of humankind and others mention Ibrahim a.s

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

as the third because he is the father

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50

of the Arabs because his son Ismail becomes

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52

the leader of the Arabs and so on

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

and that is also well known within the

00:09:54 --> 00:09:57

various books of history and seerah and so

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

on so Allah a.s either way Allah

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

a.s is speaking about these virtues and

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03

blessings upon the prophets whether that would be

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

from the descendants of Ibrahim or Noah a

00:10:05 --> 00:10:10

.s and amongst his descendants were Dawood the

00:10:10 --> 00:10:12

prophet Dawood a.s that Allah a.s

00:10:12 --> 00:10:14

honoured and favoured and gave to him a

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16

kingdom and his story is mentioned a number

00:10:16 --> 00:10:17

of times in the Quran we have already

00:10:17 --> 00:10:20

mentioned it once in Surah Al-Baqarah in

00:10:20 --> 00:10:24

the story of him and Goliath, Jalut and

00:10:24 --> 00:10:27

so from his descendants were Dawood and Sulaiman

00:10:27 --> 00:10:29

who is the son of Dawood and Allah

00:10:29 --> 00:10:30

a.s gave to him a great kingdom

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

and dominion and the story of Sulaiman a

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34

.s will also be mentioned a number of

00:10:34 --> 00:10:37

times in the Quran were Ayyub the prophet

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

of Allah Ayyub known as Job in the

00:10:39 --> 00:10:42

Bible, Ayyub a.s is the prophet that

00:10:42 --> 00:10:44

Allah a.s honoured and favoured, he is

00:10:44 --> 00:10:46

the one that went through the difficulty of

00:10:46 --> 00:10:49

hardship of illness and disease and was patient

00:10:49 --> 00:10:51

with the decree of Allah a.s were

00:10:51 --> 00:10:54

Yusuf, the prophet Yusuf known as Joseph in

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

the Bible also from the descendants of Ishaq

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58

and Yaqub, in fact he is the son

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00

of Yaqub a.s, the grandson of Ishaq

00:11:00 --> 00:11:02

and Allah a.s dedicates a whole Surah

00:11:02 --> 00:11:04

to him and his story in his book

00:11:04 --> 00:11:08

subhanahu wa ta'ala, the two brothers and

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10

the two sons of Imran, the two brothers

00:11:10 --> 00:11:13

prophets Musa and Harun a.s Allah a

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

.s says that these are the prophets that

00:11:15 --> 00:11:17

came from these descendants and Allah a.s

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20

chooses these names and we have for many

00:11:20 --> 00:11:21

of them their stories that Allah a.s

00:11:21 --> 00:11:24

honoured them and Allah favoured them and Allah

00:11:24 --> 00:11:26

a.s bestowed upon them their blessings and

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28

from the blessings that he bestowed upon these

00:11:28 --> 00:11:30

prophets is that they came from a line

00:11:30 --> 00:11:33

of prophets, that their ancestors were prophets, that

00:11:33 --> 00:11:36

their forefathers were prophets of Allah a.s

00:11:36 --> 00:11:40

and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says and

00:11:40 --> 00:11:42

this is how we reward those who do

00:11:42 --> 00:11:44

good meaning that from the ways that Allah

00:11:44 --> 00:11:46

rewards those who do good who is the

00:11:46 --> 00:11:49

good doer here in this passage and the

00:11:49 --> 00:11:50

verses that we took in the last episode

00:11:50 --> 00:11:53

Ibrahim a.s he is the one who

00:11:53 --> 00:11:56

did good, worshipped Allah had Iman, did good

00:11:56 --> 00:11:58

deeds from the ways that we reward those

00:11:58 --> 00:12:00

who do good is that we make their

00:12:00 --> 00:12:02

progeny good as well, that we give them

00:12:02 --> 00:12:05

blessing and guidance, that Allah a.s protects

00:12:05 --> 00:12:08

them and preserves them and gives to them

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

Iman and gives to them the ability to

00:12:10 --> 00:12:12

do righteous deeds, that is from the greatest

00:12:12 --> 00:12:14

blessings of Allah a.s, so sometimes when

00:12:14 --> 00:12:17

the parent is working hard in building up

00:12:17 --> 00:12:20

their Iman and worshipping Allah and doing good

00:12:20 --> 00:12:23

deeds that blessing then transfers itself to the

00:12:23 --> 00:12:26

children, the grandchildren and descendants that will come

00:12:26 --> 00:12:27

that doesn't mean that every one of them

00:12:27 --> 00:12:29

will believe doesn't mean that all of your

00:12:29 --> 00:12:31

children necessarily will be upon Iman, will have

00:12:31 --> 00:12:33

strong Iman or that they won't sin or

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35

that they will be practicing people and always

00:12:35 --> 00:12:37

do good, that's not always the case, but

00:12:37 --> 00:12:40

Allah a.s keeps within your family some

00:12:40 --> 00:12:42

of that goodness, just as Ibrahim a.s

00:12:42 --> 00:12:45

are all of Ibrahim's descendants good?

00:12:45 --> 00:12:47

No, because they were from amongst them the

00:12:47 --> 00:12:50

idolaters amongst them the people of Quraysh or

00:12:50 --> 00:12:52

the enemies of Islam, all of these are

00:12:52 --> 00:12:55

descendants of Ibrahim a.s but Allah a

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57

.s preserves within his descendants goodness as well,

00:12:58 --> 00:12:59

so likewise for the believers, Allah a.s

00:12:59 --> 00:13:02

doesn't mean that all of your children, all

00:13:02 --> 00:13:03

of your grandchildren, every one of your descendants

00:13:03 --> 00:13:06

will always be upon Iman or good deeds

00:13:06 --> 00:13:08

or righteousness, but Allah a.s keeps that

00:13:08 --> 00:13:11

within your family, Allah preserves within your family

00:13:11 --> 00:13:13

and sometimes it can skip a generation or

00:13:13 --> 00:13:16

two but Allah a.s always blesses those

00:13:16 --> 00:13:18

people who do good as he mentions in

00:13:18 --> 00:13:20

a number of verses in the Quran in

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

verse number 85 Allah a.s mentions a

00:13:22 --> 00:13:24

number of other prophets also from the descendants

00:13:24 --> 00:13:27

of these amazing messengers of Allah and he

00:13:27 --> 00:13:32

says subhanahu wa ta'ala وَزَكَرِيَّ وَيَحْيَى وَعِيسَى

00:13:32 --> 00:13:38

وَإِلْيَاسِ كُلٌّ مِّنَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَزَكَرِيَّ وَيَحْيَى وَعِيسَى

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

وَإِلْيَاسِ وَزَكَرِيَّ وَيَحْيَى وَعِيسَى وَإِلْيَاسِ each one of

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

them was from the righteous Zakariya a.s

00:13:43 --> 00:13:47

is the prophet of Allah and Yahya his

00:13:47 --> 00:13:48

son two prophets of Allah that we know

00:13:48 --> 00:13:51

their stories are mentioned and we mentioned them

00:13:51 --> 00:13:53

already in some detail in Surah Al-Imran

00:13:53 --> 00:13:55

Zakariya is the one who is the uncle

00:13:55 --> 00:13:59

of Maryam, takes her into his custody after

00:13:59 --> 00:14:01

she loses her parents, she grows up in

00:14:01 --> 00:14:04

his household, Zakariya a.s has a son,

00:14:04 --> 00:14:07

Yahya who then becomes the cousin of one

00:14:07 --> 00:14:08

of the prophets that is mentioned in this

00:14:08 --> 00:14:10

verse and that is Isa the son of

00:14:10 --> 00:14:13

Maryam and so they are cousins all from

00:14:13 --> 00:14:15

one family these prophets these three prophets that

00:14:15 --> 00:14:17

Allah a.s mentions each one of them

00:14:17 --> 00:14:19

has their own story each one of them

00:14:19 --> 00:14:21

is known within the book of Allah a

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23

.s and Ilyas the prophet Ilyas that Allah

00:14:23 --> 00:14:25

a.s also mentions in a number of

00:14:25 --> 00:14:28

places in the Quran each one of them

00:14:28 --> 00:14:30

was from the righteous, each one of them

00:14:30 --> 00:14:33

was from those who did good then Allah

00:14:33 --> 00:14:35

a.s mentions in verse 86 a number

00:14:35 --> 00:14:39

of other prophets and he says وإسماعيل و

00:14:39 --> 00:14:44

اليسع و يونس و لوط وكلا فضلنا على

00:14:44 --> 00:14:48

العالمين and Isma'il and Yasa' and Younus

00:14:48 --> 00:14:50

and Lot we favoured each one of them

00:14:50 --> 00:14:53

over the people Allah a.s mentions here

00:14:53 --> 00:14:55

Isma'il and Isma'il is the son

00:14:55 --> 00:14:58

of Ibrahim a.s and from him would

00:14:58 --> 00:15:00

come the Arabs and from them his descendants

00:15:00 --> 00:15:04

would be our prophet a.s and so

00:15:04 --> 00:15:06

So In An Implicit Way Allah Azzawajal Is

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

Saying To Ibrahim That We Favoured You And

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

From That Favour That We Gave Upon You

00:15:10 --> 00:15:12

Is Giving You Ismail And The Descendants Of

00:15:12 --> 00:15:15

Ismail Not Least Of Whom Would Be And

00:15:15 --> 00:15:17

The Greatest Of Whom Would Be Our Prophet

00:15:17 --> 00:15:20

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam And Likewise Yunus Al-Yasa'

00:15:20 --> 00:15:23

Sorry Al-Yasa' And Yunus Al-Yasa' Is

00:15:23 --> 00:15:25

Also A Prophet That Allah Azzawajal Mentions In

00:15:25 --> 00:15:28

A Number Of Places In The Quran Yunus

00:15:28 --> 00:15:30

Ibn Mattah Is The Prophet Of Allah The

00:15:30 --> 00:15:32

One Who Was Swallowed By The Whale And

00:15:32 --> 00:15:34

Allah Azzawajal Dedicates A Surah To Him As

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

Well In The Quran We Have A Surah

00:15:36 --> 00:15:38

Named After Him And The Prophet Lot Who

00:15:38 --> 00:15:39

As We Said Was The Nephew Of Ibrahim

00:15:39 --> 00:15:42

Alayhi Salatu Wassalam And He Is From The

00:15:42 --> 00:15:44

Prophets Of Allah Whose Story Is Mentioned In

00:15:44 --> 00:15:47

Multiple Multiple Times Throughout The Book Of Allah

00:15:47 --> 00:15:49

Azzawajal Wa Kullan Fadhalna A'la Al-Aalameen

00:15:49 --> 00:15:51

Each One Of Them We Favoured Over Others

00:15:51 --> 00:15:53

We Favoured Them Because We Gave To Them

00:15:53 --> 00:15:56

The Highest Of Stations What Is The Highest

00:15:56 --> 00:15:58

Of Stations That A Human Can Attain In

00:15:58 --> 00:16:00

This World It Is The Station Of Prophethood

00:16:00 --> 00:16:03

And So These Prophets That Allah Mentions In

00:16:03 --> 00:16:06

These Three Verses From The Progeny Of Ibrahim

00:16:06 --> 00:16:09

And Nuh Alayhi Salatu Wassalam These Are From

00:16:09 --> 00:16:11

The Greatest Of Human Beings That Allah Azzawajal

00:16:11 --> 00:16:14

Created Because They Attained That Status And That

00:16:14 --> 00:16:18

Level Of Being Prophets Of Allah Azzawajal Allah

00:16:18 --> 00:16:19

Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Then Says In Verse 87

00:16:22 --> 00:16:27

وَمِنْ آبَاءِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ وَإِخْوَانِهِمْ وَاجْتَبَيْنَاهُمْ

00:16:27 --> 00:16:32

وَهَدَيْنَاهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ And Also Some Of

00:16:32 --> 00:16:35

Their Forefathers Their Offspring And Their Brothers We

00:16:35 --> 00:16:37

Chose Them And Guided Them Onto A Straight

00:16:37 --> 00:16:40

Path Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Says That These

00:16:40 --> 00:16:43

Prophets Of Allah From Amongst Them Some Of

00:16:43 --> 00:16:45

Them Their Fathers Were Upon Iman And Guidance

00:16:45 --> 00:16:47

And From Amongst Them Were Those Who Their

00:16:47 --> 00:16:50

Progeny Their Offspring Will Be Upon Iman And

00:16:50 --> 00:16:52

Guidance And From Amongst Them Are Some Of

00:16:52 --> 00:16:54

Those Whose Siblings Whose Brothers Would Be From

00:16:54 --> 00:16:57

Amongst Those Who Are Upon Guidance So As

00:16:57 --> 00:17:00

We'Ve Seen Here There Are Prophets There

00:17:00 --> 00:17:02

Are Fathers And Sons And There Are Prophets

00:17:02 --> 00:17:03

That We Have Seen There Are Brothers As

00:17:03 --> 00:17:06

Well Like Musa And Harun Alayhi Salatu Wassalam

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

And So Allah Azawajal Favors Them And From

00:17:08 --> 00:17:11

Amongst Those Prophets Are Those Whose Whom Allah

00:17:11 --> 00:17:15

Azawajal Preferred And Guided In Many Different Ways

00:17:15 --> 00:17:17

And From Their Family Members As Well The

00:17:17 --> 00:17:19

Prophets Of Allah Who Had Children That Were

00:17:19 --> 00:17:20

Upon Iman Or They Weren'T Prophets Of Allah

00:17:20 --> 00:17:24

Sorry Necessarily But They Were Upon Iman Prophets

00:17:24 --> 00:17:26

Of Allah Who Had Wives And Spouses Their

00:17:26 --> 00:17:29

Upon Iman Not No Prophets Of Allah But

00:17:29 --> 00:17:32

Their Upon Iman And So Allah Azawajal Guides

00:17:32 --> 00:17:34

And Allah Azawajal Favors These Prophets In That

00:17:34 --> 00:17:36

Way But Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Says وَمِنْ

00:17:36 --> 00:17:41

آبَائِهِمْ And From Their Forefathers From Their Progeny

00:17:41 --> 00:17:43

From Their Siblings And Their Brothers Are Those

00:17:43 --> 00:17:45

That We Guided And The Word From Therefore

00:17:45 --> 00:17:47

Means That There Were Then Others That Weren'T

00:17:47 --> 00:17:50

Guided As We Know From The Stories Of

00:17:50 --> 00:17:51

One Of These Prophets Ibrahim Alayhi Salatu Wassalam

00:17:51 --> 00:17:54

Himself His Father Is Not Upon Guidance Lut

00:17:54 --> 00:17:56

Alayhi Salam As Allah Mentions In The Quran

00:17:56 --> 00:17:59

His Wife Is Not Upon Guidance And As

00:17:59 --> 00:18:01

We Know Our Prophet Salallahu Alayhi Salam His

00:18:01 --> 00:18:04

Uncle His Uncles Or Some Of Them Refused

00:18:04 --> 00:18:07

To Accept Guidance As Well And So From

00:18:07 --> 00:18:10

Amongst The Relatives Those That Don'T Accept Islam

00:18:10 --> 00:18:12

And From Amongst Parents And Children And Spouses

00:18:12 --> 00:18:15

Those Who Don'T Accept Islam But Allah Azawajal

00:18:15 --> 00:18:18

Gave Islam And Guidance To Others From Amongst

00:18:18 --> 00:18:19

Them As Well.

00:18:19 --> 00:18:24

In Verse 88 Allah Azawajal Says ذَلِكَ هُدَىٰ

00:18:24 --> 00:18:29

اللَّهِ يَهْدِي بِهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَلَوْ

00:18:29 --> 00:18:34

أَشْرَكُوا لَحَبِطَ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ Such Is

00:18:34 --> 00:18:37

Allah's Guidance With Which He Guides Whichever Of

00:18:37 --> 00:18:40

His Servants He Wills If They Had Associated

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42

Other Gods With Him All Their Deeds Would

00:18:42 --> 00:18:44

Have Come To Nothing This Is The Guidance

00:18:44 --> 00:18:46

Of Allah Azawajal He Gives It To Whomsoever

00:18:46 --> 00:18:49

He Wills Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Is

00:18:49 --> 00:18:51

The One Who Chooses Guidance Guidance Is In

00:18:51 --> 00:18:53

The Hands Of Allah Azawajal Alone, He Is

00:18:53 --> 00:18:57

Al-Hadi The Ultimate Guide The Prophets They

00:18:57 --> 00:18:59

Convey, They Advise, They Give The Message Of

00:18:59 --> 00:19:01

Allah To People And Then The Followers Of

00:19:01 --> 00:19:03

The Prophets From The Scholars And The Righteous

00:19:03 --> 00:19:06

Me, You, Everyone Our Job Is Also To

00:19:06 --> 00:19:08

Convey And To Advise But Who Gives Ultimate

00:19:08 --> 00:19:11

Guidance In Whose Hands Is Guidance Ultimately Is

00:19:11 --> 00:19:14

In The Hands Of Allah Azawajal Alone ذَلِكَ

00:19:14 --> 00:19:16

هُدَىٰ اللَّهِ That Is The Guidance Of Allah

00:19:16 --> 00:19:20

يَهْدِي بِهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ With Which

00:19:20 --> 00:19:22

He Guides Whomsoever He Wills Of His Servants

00:19:22 --> 00:19:25

Allah Azawajal Is The One Who Decides The

00:19:25 --> 00:19:27

Prophets Do Not Have The Right To Demand

00:19:27 --> 00:19:31

Upon Allah That They Give Guidance To One

00:19:31 --> 00:19:34

Of Their Family Members And This Is What

00:19:34 --> 00:19:36

We Mentioned Inshallah Ta'ala In More Detail

00:19:36 --> 00:19:40

In Surah Hud In The Story Of Nuh

00:19:40 --> 00:19:43

A.S. When Nuh's Son Is Going To

00:19:43 --> 00:19:45

Be Drowned And He Calls Upon Allah And

00:19:45 --> 00:19:46

He Says Save Him By Allah He Is

00:19:46 --> 00:19:49

From My Family And Allah Azawajal Says He

00:19:49 --> 00:19:51

Is Not Really From Your Family Because His

00:19:51 --> 00:19:53

Actions Are Not Upon The Actions Or From

00:19:53 --> 00:19:55

The Actions Of The People Of Iman And

00:19:55 --> 00:19:57

So Allah Azawajal Is The One Who Decides

00:19:57 --> 00:20:00

Even The Prophets Of Allah Cannot Demand Guidance

00:20:00 --> 00:20:02

For One Of Their Number Or One Of

00:20:02 --> 00:20:05

Their Family Members وَلَوْ أَشْرَقُ And If All

00:20:05 --> 00:20:08

Of These Prophets Were To Make Shirk All

00:20:08 --> 00:20:11

Of Them Ibrahim, Nuh, Musa, Isa Even Our

00:20:11 --> 00:20:13

Own Prophets Salallahu Alaihe Wasalam If They Were

00:20:13 --> 00:20:16

To Commit Shirk And This Is A Theoretical

00:20:16 --> 00:20:18

If Because It'S Not Possible Allah Has Safeguarded

00:20:18 --> 00:20:20

Them From That Shirk And They Would Never

00:20:20 --> 00:20:22

Committed But To Show You The Gravity Of

00:20:22 --> 00:20:25

That Sin And How Why Those People They

00:20:25 --> 00:20:27

Don'T Don'T Find Guidance Even If They'Re

00:20:27 --> 00:20:30

Related To Those Prophets Of Allah They Wouldn'T

00:20:30 --> 00:20:33

Be Saved Because Allah Azawajal Is Saying Forget

00:20:33 --> 00:20:35

Your Family Members Your Close Ones Your Dear

00:20:35 --> 00:20:37

Ones Your Loved Ones Even If You Committed

00:20:37 --> 00:20:40

Shirk Yourselves Or Prophets Of Allah Or Messengers

00:20:40 --> 00:20:44

Of Allah لَحَبِّطَ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ All

00:20:44 --> 00:20:46

Their Deeds Would Come To Nothing You Too

00:20:46 --> 00:20:48

Would Have Your Deeds Rendered Null And Void

00:20:48 --> 00:20:56

Allah Azawajal Says In Verse 89 أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ

00:20:56 --> 00:21:02

آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحُقْمَ وَالنُّبُوَّةَ فَإِنْ يَكْفُرُ بِهَا هَآ

00:21:02 --> 00:21:07

أُولَٰئِ فَقَدَ وَكَّلْنَا بِهَا قَوْمًا لَيْسُوا بِهَا بِكَافِرِينَ

00:21:07 --> 00:21:09

Those Are The Ones To Whom We Gave

00:21:09 --> 00:21:12

The Scripture, Wisdom And Prophethood Even If These

00:21:12 --> 00:21:15

People Now Disbelieve In Them, We Have Entrusted

00:21:15 --> 00:21:17

Them To Others Who Do Not Disbelieve Allah

00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
