00:00:06 --> 00:00:10
			I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:10
			accursed.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:15
			In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			Merciful.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			Welcome to another episode of our Tafseer, page
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			by page, and insha'Allah ta'ala today
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			we are on page 142 which is the
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			first page of the eighth Juz, Suratul In
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:55
			'am.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			In the previous episode, Allah mentioned to us
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			a number of His powers and abilities, His
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			names and attributes, subhanahu wa ta'ala, and
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			how Allah alone is worthy of being worshipped.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala told us that
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			these are the names and attributes of your
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:10
			Lord.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			ذَلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ ذَلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ That is,
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			Allah, your Lord, He alone is worthy of
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			being worshipped.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			Allah azawajal tells us also in those previous
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			verses that we covered in the last episode,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			that Allah azawajal has sent to us many
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			clear signs.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			Signs that point to Him subhanahu wa ta
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			'ala that He is the Lord and Creator
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			and Sustainer alone, and that He alone is
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:30
			worthy of worship.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			Those are clear signs.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			Those who recognize those signs and follow them,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			they will be to their advantage.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			And those who are blind towards them, then
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			they will suffer the consequences of being blind
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			to them and turning away from them.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:46
			Allah azawajal commands us to worship Him alone
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			and to follow His revelation and to stay
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			away from everything which negates that worship of
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			Him alone subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			Allah azawajal then also in the verses that
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			concluded the previous episode, Allah azawajal told us
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			to be careful of the consequences of our
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			actions.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			And Allah azawajal told us that from the
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			principles of this religion is that if by
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			doing something the harm that will ensue is
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			greater in return, then you should stay away
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			from doing that particular action or saying that
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			particular thing.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			And the example is given in cursing the
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			false gods of others.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			By doing so, they may curse Allah azawajal
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:18
			in return.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			And so therefore, that is something that you
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			should return or stay away from.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said that those
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			people of disbelief, even if the most clearest
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			of signs were to come to them despite
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			their assurances and their promises, they still will
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			not believe in Allah azawajal.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			Because the believer is someone who sees even
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			the smallest signs of Allah and that is
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:35
			sufficient.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			Whereas the disbelievers are those who see the
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			greatest signs of Allah and that is not
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			enough for them to be able to believe.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			And so Allah azawajal in the verse that
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			we begin with today, 111, gives us an
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			example of some of those major signs that
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			if they were to come and were they
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			to be made apparent and were they to
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			actually take place, that still wouldn't allow or
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			make those people believe in Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:57
			ta'ala alone.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:29
			Allah azawajal says in verse 111 Even
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			if we sent the angels down to them
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			and the dead spoke to them and we
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			gathered all of the things right in front
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			of them, they still would not believe unless
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			Allah also willed but most of them are
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			ignorant of this.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says as an
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			example because Allah azawajal in the previous episode
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			we mentioned those verses in which Allah azawajal
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			said that they take oaths by Allah, solemnly
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			swear that if you were to bring us
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			these signs we would believe.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			And Allah azawajal says at the end of
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			that verse وَمَا يُشْعِرُكُمْ أَنَّهَا إِذَا جَاءَتْ لَا
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			يُؤْمِنُونَ But what will make you realize that
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			even if those signs were to come, they
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			still wouldn't believe.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			Allah azawajal now gives us examples of this
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:07
			here وَلَوْ أَنَّنَا نَزَّلْنَا إِلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ If the
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			angels of Allah were to come in their
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			original form and to show themselves to these
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			people, these people who always used to say
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			why didn't Allah send to us angels, why
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			aren't the angels sent as prophets and messengers,
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			were they to see the angels in their
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			original form?
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			وَكَلَّمَهُمُ الْمَوْتَىٰ And the dead were to come
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			back to life and to speak to them
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:30
			again وَحَشَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ قُبُلَىٰ And we
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			were to gather everything that they demanded in
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			front of them, all of the things that
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			they asked for, all of these signs.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			And Allah azawajal will mention by the way
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:41
			in Surah Al-Isra, the many demands that
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			the Quraish had or the disbelievers of Mecca
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			had and the Arabs of the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			in terms of the miracles and signs that
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			they wanted to see.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			They wanted to see Allah, they wanted to
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			see its angels, they wanted to see the
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			Prophet ﷺ fly, they wanted him to bring
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			down a book from the sky that they
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			could see him physically bringing down, they wanted
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			him to have palaces and they wanted him
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			to have wealth and they wanted him to
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:04
			have gardens and rivers, all of these commands
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			and demands that they had, this is what
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			we want to see and once you present
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			to us all of this, then we will
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:09
			believe.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			And Allah azawajal says that even if you
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			were to do so, even if you were
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			to give them as Allah says here the
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			angels and the dead back to life speaking
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			to them and to gather for them all
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			of these signs that they demand, they will
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:22
			not believe.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:26
			Because that demand from Allah azawajal shows that
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			Iman has settled in their hearts, they don't
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			have any belief and if you were to
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			see Allah and to see Yawm Al-Qiyamah
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			and to see the fire and you see
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			paradise, then what is left in terms of
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			belief anyway?
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			Because you have accepted, there is nothing left
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			for you to doubt in.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			So Allah azawajal says that that is not
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:44
			Iman, this is not the Iman that they
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			have to have and so they wouldn't believe
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			anyway.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			Allah azawajal willed for them to do so.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			And there are people, yes, that it takes
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			them a long time, that they have to
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			see multiple signs, that it takes them many
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			years to reach that point of Iman and
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			we have examples of this from the life
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam, some of
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04
			the companions accepted Islam after 20 odd years
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			of the Dawah and the mission of the
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			And so it took them time, but those
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:14
			people had within themselves some sincerity, some purity
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			that Allah azawajal then saw and finally guided
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			them to Islam.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			But these people have none, so they won't
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			believe.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ نَجْهَلُونَ But rather, the majority of
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			them are ignorant of this, meaning that they
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			don't understand that this is their reality, they
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			don't recognise in themselves this.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			And that's why you often find people saying
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			this to you.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			They will say to you, well believe if
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			you can prove this, or prove that, or
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			see, show us Allah azawajal or whatever it
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			may be.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			And so because those types of proofs, it
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			shows that those people in their heart have
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			still a long way to go in order
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			to reach that point of Iman.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:53
			Allah azawajal then says in verse 112 وَكَذَٰلِكَ
		
00:06:53 --> 00:07:00
			جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍ عَدُوًا شَيَاطِينَ الْإِنسِ وَالْجِنِّ يُوحِي
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:08
			بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ زُخْرُفَ الْقَوْلِ غُرُورًا وَلَوْ شَاءَ
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:12
			رَبُّكَ مَا يَفْعَلُوهُ فَذَرْهُمَّ مَا يَفْتَرُونَ In the
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			same way, we assign to each prophet an
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			enemy, evil humans and evil jinn.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			They suggest alluring words to one another in
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			order to deceive.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			If it had been your Lord's will, they
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			would not have done this, leave them to
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			their inventions.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is now saying
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:30
			this to console the Prophet ﷺ that there
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			was not a prophet of Allah azawajal that
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			came upon earth except that he had enemies,
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			devils from humans and devils from jinn.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			And that shows that the word shaytan or
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			shayateen, even though it is often used in
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			the context of the jinn and the devils,
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			there are human devils as well.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			The word shaytan is anything that is evil
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			and trying to divert people away from the
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			path of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			And so as there are jinns, there are
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			shayateen and devils, there are also humans that
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			are devils because the prophets of Allah are
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			facing both types.
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			The prophets of Allah have enemies of humans
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			as well as the enemies of the jinn
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:07
			as the Prophet ﷺ and the other prophets
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			who came before him as we saw in
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10
			their stories and we see in their stories
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			throughout the Quran.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			And that therefore shows that there are from
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			humans and jinn, those that are pious.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			The jinn have believers amongst them, people who
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			worship Allah and believe in Allah and Allah
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			azawajal dedicates a surah to this in the
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			Quran in the 29th juz suratul jinn and
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			Allah azawajal mentions it elsewhere and it is
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			mentioned in a number of hadith of our
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			Prophet ﷺ that there are jinn that are
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			righteous and pious and they believe in Allah
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			azawajal and the Prophet ﷺ and they worship
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala alone.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			They are Muslims, they are good, pious, noble
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:37
			jinn.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			We can't see them and we are not
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			aware of them in that way but Allah
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			azawajal tells us their existence or tells us
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			of their existence and therefore we believe in
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			that which Allah azawajal tells us.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			But likewise there are evil humans and evil
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			jinn and they are the ones who try
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			to divert away from the path of Allah
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:58
			يُوحِي بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ زُخْرُ فَالْقَوْلِ وَرُورًا They
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01
			suggest to one another alluring words in order
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			to deceive, meaning that this is what they
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:03
			do.
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			They say things to one another in order
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			to assist one another in diverting others away
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			from the path of Allah azawajal and that
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			is why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			the Quran and we will see examples of
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			this inshallah ta'ala when we come to
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			the stories of the Prophets.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			Allah azawajal often refers to the disbelievers and
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			the people that oppose the Prophets as a
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:22
			Malak.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			A Malak is a group of people usually
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			of the nobility and the upper classes of
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			that society that used to gather together.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			Even in the story of Pharaoh and Pharaoh
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			is the leader of his people and he
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			is the Pharaoh of his people.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:36
			Allah azawajal often says that he said to
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			his Malak.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			The Malak are his people that are his
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42
			closest advisors, the nobility, the royalty, whoever it
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			may be that were his essentially his group
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:47
			of people that he used to use in
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:51
			order to oppose the Prophets and Messengers of
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			Allah, whoever they were.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54
			You will often find this in the story
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:57
			of Noah, the story of Hud, the story
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			of Musa and Pharaoh and you will see
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			this a number of times that Allah azawajal
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			refers to these people as the Malak, the
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:03
			story of Shu'aib.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			And so Allah azawajal says that they always
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			grouped together because they speak to one another
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:13
			and they encourage one another, they motivate one
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			another in order to take people away from
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			the religion of Islam and that is something
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			which we see in the story of our
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			own Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			It's not normally just one person opposing the
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:26
			Prophet ﷺ, it's the nobility of Quraysh, the
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			chieftains of Quraysh.
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:28
			You have Abu Jahl and you have Abu
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			Lahab and you have Utbah and you have
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			Al-Walid and you have others, all of
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			them coming together, these are the chieftains of
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			Quraysh and they come together as a group
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39
			and they unite upon this evil in order
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			to oppose the religion of Islam and the
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			وَلَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّكَ مَا فَعَلُوهُ But if your
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			Lord had willed they would not do so.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			فَذَرْهُمَّ مَا يَفْتَعُونَ But leave them to their
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			inventions.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			Meaning that the fact that they do so
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			is because Allah azawajal allows them to do
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			so and rules for it to happen and
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			so therefore there must be some hikmah in
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			it, there must be a wisdom in it
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			that Allah azawajal allows this to happen and
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:05
			there are many wisdoms as we know for
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			this reason or for this to happen, not
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			least of which is that it is a
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10
			test for the Prophets and Messengers of Allah
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13
			and a test for the believers to see
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			how strong they will be upon their Iman
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			and when you're opposed and you show steadfastness
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			and firmness upon something that is pleasing to
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			Allah azawajal and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			therefore rewards you greatly.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:29
			Allah azawajal then says in verse number 113
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:35
			وَلِتَصْغَىٰ إِلَيْهِ أَفْئِدَةُ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:40
			وَلِيَرْضَوْهُ وَلِيَقْتَرِفُوا مَا هُمْ مُقَتَرِفُونَ So that the
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			hearts of those who do not believe in
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			the Hereafter may incline towards their deceit be
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48
			pleased with it and so perpetrate whatever they
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:48
			perpetrate.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says that these
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			are the reasons why Allah azawajal allows for
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			these enemies to flourish allows for them to
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:57
			often have power in the land to have
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			positions of and status of power to have
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			wealth and to have armies and so on
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			Allah azawajal says it is so that their
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			hearts or the hearts of those who don't
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:08
			believe in the Hereafter may incline towards this
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11
			meaning inclined towards their rejection of Allah azawajal
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			their rejection of the message that Allah azawajal
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			has sent the revelation of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			ta'ala and they think that which they're
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			doing is good they encourage one another motivate
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:22
			one another egg one another on because they
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:23
			think that what they're doing is good they
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			think that what they're doing is a show
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			of their prowess and their power and their
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			and their wealth and so on and so
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			Allah azawajal says that these are from the
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			many wisdoms that Allah azawajal has placed within
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37
			these types of people who are enemies to
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			the original enemies of the prophets and messengers
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			of Allah azawajal these are people who oppose
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			the prophets of Allah they oppose the believers
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:47
			and by doing so they are a test
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			for the believers and the believers must show
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			their steadfastness in opposition to those people to
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54
			show that the Iman is true and that
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			these are the people and so Allah azawajal
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			also allows us therefore to see the beauty
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			of the truth when you see the evil
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			of the opposite of the truth which is
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			falsehood and sometimes to appreciate something you must
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:07
			know its opposite and experience it so often
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			we understand the preciousness of our health when
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			we become sick and ill or we see
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			people around us who are going through disease
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:16
			and hardship and illness you then appreciate that
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17
			Allah azawajal has given to you good health
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20
			you see the blessing of wealth when you
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:23
			see around you poverty and around you people
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			who are needy and homeless people who don't
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			have hardly any wealth that they can use
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:30
			in order to sustain themselves and their needs
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:31
			and the needs of their families and their
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			children you appreciate then what Allah azawajal has
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			given to you and likewise with the believers
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:38
			when you see the falsehood that other people
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:40
			are on and the way that they're living
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			in this world aimlessly without purpose not knowing
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			the reason and purpose for which Allah azawajal
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:47
			created them you appreciate Tawheed and you appreciate
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50
			Iman and you appreciate that Allah azawajal gave
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			to the Quran and sent to the Prophet
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55
			salallahu alayhi wasalam Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:13:55 --> 00:14:07
			then says in verse 114 وَالَّذِينَ
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:13
			آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ مُنَزَّلٌ مِّنْ رَبِّكَ بِالْحَقِّ
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:18
			فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَرِينَ say shall I seek
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			any judge other than Allah when it is
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			he who has sent down sent down for
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:26
			you the scripture clearly explained those to whom
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:27
			we gave the scripture know that this Quran
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			is revealed to you by your Lord with
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:32
			the truth so do not be from amongst
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			those who have doubt Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			'ala says in this verse addressing his Prophet
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:40
			salallahu alayhi wasalam أَفَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ أَبْتَغِيْ حَكَمًا say
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			to them should I seek any judge other
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			than Allah azawajal Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			the one who is all just the one
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			who is all powerful the one who is
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			all merciful the one who is all kind
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:52
			and generous why would I seek a judge
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			other than him subhanahu wa ta'ala because
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:57
			every other judge is deficient every other judge
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			is lacking in terms of insight and knowledge
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:02
			and their ability to know everything every other
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			judge is lacking in terms of their compassion
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			and their kindness and their mercy and their
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:08
			justice and perfection and so therefore when you
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			have the Lord subhanahu wa ta'ala that
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:13
			is all-perfect all-knowing all-merciful why
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:14
			would you seek a judge other than him
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			subhanahu wa ta'ala and that is why
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			some of the Salafis used to say that
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			if on Yawmul Qiyamah we were given a
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:23
			choice between our own mothers being our judges
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			and between Allah azawajal being our judge we
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			would choose Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala over
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			our own mothers there is no one more
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			kind or merciful to you in this life
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			than your mother in this world no one
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:34
			more kind to you from the people that
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:37
			you know than your mother that will sacrifice
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			more that will do more for you that
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			will give more to you that will that
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			will that will go to the effort that
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			the mother goes to for her child but
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			on Yawmul Qiyamah or in comparison to Allah
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:50
			azawajal that person is nowhere near and that
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:53
			is when the hadith the Prophet salallahu alayhi
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:54
			wasalam he was sitting with a number of
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:57
			companions and the lady had lost her child
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			and so she's running around looking for a
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			child she's distraught she's looking for a child
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:05
			and because she's also overcome with fear and
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			with emotion she finds a small child and
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			she takes that child and she hugs it
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11
			thinking that it's her child but then she
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12
			realizes that's not my boy that's not my
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			child she leaves him and she goes to
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			the next one she does this a number
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:18
			of times until finally she finds her son
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			or her child and she takes that child
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:23
			and she squeezes him and she hugs him
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			out of love out of compassion out of
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:28
			kindness and the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam is
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29
			sitting with the companions and he's watching this
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:32
			unfold before him the Prophet said salallahu alayhi
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:35
			wasalam do you think that this mother would
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			ever willingly throw her child into the fire
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:40
			of * this mother who we just saw
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			with these traits and this compassion and this
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			kindness and this love do you think that
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			she would ever willingly go to a fire
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			and take her child and throw him in
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:51
			they said never or messenger of Allah never
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			a woman like this with a child never
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:56
			the Prophet said salallahu alayhi wasalam Allah azawajal
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			is more merciful to his slaves than this
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			one is to her child Allah has more
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			mercy subhanaw taala but why because that woman
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:07
			with her mercy and every mother with all
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			of her mercy and kindness and love that
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:12
			is one part of the 100 parts of
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			mercy of Allah azawajal Allah kept 99 for
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			himself a normal Qiyamah for the believers one
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:20
			part was descended upon this earth for all
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			of humanity and all of creation to share
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:26
			humans jinn animals plants everything shares this from
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			the beginning of time to the end of
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			time so me and you have the smallest
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:35
			smallest minutest portion or percentage of that one
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			part of mercy that one percent that Allah
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:38
			sent down to the ground to the to
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:41
			the earth we have the smallest portion of
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			that only Allah knows what that would be
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			in terms of percentage but it is miniscule
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:48
			but despite that you see the signs of
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			love and perfection and affection and compassion that
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			a mother has towards the child even in
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:56
			the animal world the mother of an animal
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59
			child will show that same type of love
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:02
			same type of protection same type of because
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			that's the child and that's what you will
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			see sometimes in these documentaries when there's a
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			predator that comes and there's a mother that
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			has a new child and the predators going
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			for the child the baby but that mother
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			even though she's not a predator it may
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:15
			just be like a cow or it may
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:18
			be an animal that's like normally easily preyed
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:22
			upon but the fierceness and the ferociousness of
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			that mother in protecting a child will ward
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			off even a lion or a tiger and
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			that is the mercy that Allah sent down
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			99 belongs to Allah for the believers and
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33
			that is why the scholars said if we
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			have the choice we choose Allah because the
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			odds and the percentage is that Allah has
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:41
			99% and Allah is perfect subhanahu wa
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			ta'ala in all ways and so Allah
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46
			says why would you then seek a judge
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:51
			other than Allah when it is he who
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			has sent down to you the scripture clearly
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			explained and that is from the mercy of
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala from his goodness
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00
			upon us that Allah gave to us revelation
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			in scripture that is clearly explained with the
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04
			signs that show us the path of salvation
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			show us what you need to do in
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			order to achieve goodness in this life and
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:12
			in the next وَالَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:20
			مُنَزَّلٌ مِنْ رَبِّكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَالَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:24
			يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ مُنَزَّلٌ مِنْ رَبِّكَ بِالْحَقِّ
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:31
			وَالَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:38
			يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ مُنَزَّلٌ And that's why the sincere
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			from amongst them believe and believed in the
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم And Allah عز
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:43
			و جل says that you know that it
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			is the truth You know that what the
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			Quran brings confirms the truth that was given
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			to you And you know that it is
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			something which is مُهَيْمِنًا عَلَيْي That it has
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:55
			supremacy over the revelations that came before Just
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			as the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم Has
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			supremacy in that way over the prophets and
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:02
			messengers who came before him صلى الله عليه
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:05
			وسلم فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَلِينَ So do not
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:10
			be from amongst those who doubt Allah سبحانه
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:15
			وتعالى then says in verse 115 وَتَمَّتْ كَلِيمَةُ
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:21
			رَبِّكَ صِدْقًا وَعَدَلًا لَا مُبَدِّنَ لِكَلِيمَاتِهِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:24
			الْعَلِيمُ The words of your Lord are complete
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:27
			in their truth and justice No one can
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29
			change His words, He is the all-hearing,
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			the all-knowing Allah سبحانه وتعالى after mentioning
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			the Qur'an And how it was revealed
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35
			in truth And how Allah عز و جل
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			has given the clear words of the Qur
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:40
			'an The revelation as a sign for the
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			people As a means of them knowing the
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			truth and turning to Allah عز و جل
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:47
			Allah سبحانه وتعالى now says وَتَمَّتْ كَلِيمَةُ رَبِّكَ
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:50
			صِدْقًا وَعَدْلًا The words of your Lord are
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			complete in their truth and in their justice
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			Everything which Allah عز و جل says is
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			true Every word that you find in the
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57
			book of Allah عز و جل is true
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:00
			From the stories, from the commandments, from the
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:01
			affairs of the unseen From what will happen
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03
			on Yawm al-Qiyamah All of it is
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05
			true And all of it is justice In
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			terms of the commands of Allah and the
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			prohibitions of Allah سبحانه وتعالى All of them
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			lead to that which is good And all
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			of them lead to salvation and success And
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			all of them lead to the reward of
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			Allah عز و جل And His pleasure and
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:20
			His mercy سبحانه وتعالى لا مبدل لكلماته No
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:23
			one can change His words Because the truth
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			cannot be changed And the justice of Allah
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			عز و جل cannot be changed And the
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:30
			universal laws of Allah سبحانه وتعالى cannot be
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			changed So no one can come and say
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			That instead of death I will remain alive
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			in this world I don't want there to
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			be a day of judgment So I will
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:40
			keep this world here Or they can't change
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:41
			the laws of Allah عز و جل That
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			the people of Iman will go to Jannah
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			And the people of disbelief will go to
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			the fire The commands of Allah عز و
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:49
			جل are true And just no one can
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:52
			change them From His will سبحانه وتعالى وَهُوَ
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:54
			السَّمِيعُ الْعَالِيمُ He is the All-Hearing, the
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:58
			All-Knowing Allah سبحانه وتعالى then says in
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:03
			verse 116 وَإِن تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَن فِي الْأَرْضِ
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:09
			يُضِلُّكَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:13
			وَإِن هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْلُصُونَ If you obeyed most
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			of those on earth They would lead you
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			away from the path of Allah They follow
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:21
			nothing but speculation They are merely guessing Allah
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:22
			سبحانه وتعالى says that If you were to
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:26
			follow and obey those Upon this earth The
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			majority of people Then the majority of people
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			don't worship Allah عز و جل The majority
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			of people are upon shirk And so this
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			is a warning to the Prophet صلى الله
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:36
			عليه وسلم Because sometimes as humans we look
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			at numbers And we think that the majority
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			must be correct And even though there are
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42
			some instances When that may be the case
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			and that may be true It is not
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			always the case Especially when it comes to
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			belief in Allah عز و جل and Tawheed
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			Because Allah عز و جل tells us elsewhere
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52
			in the Quran وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُم بِاللَّهِ إِلَّا
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:55
			وَهُمْ مُشْرِكُونَ The majority of people do not
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			say that they believe in Allah Except that
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			they commit shirk The majority of people are
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:00
			not upon Islam But they are upon shirk
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:02
			As the Prophet told us صلى الله عليه
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:05
			وسلم About يوم القيامة That Allah عز و
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			جل will address Adam عليه السلام And he
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:08
			will say Oh Adam And Adam will say
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			I am here responding to your command of
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			Allah And Allah عز و جل will command
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:13
			Adam And he will say take out from
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:16
			your progeny Your offspring بَعْثِ النَّارِ The portion
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			that will go to the fire And Adam
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			عليه السلام Will say Oh my Lord What
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			is the portion of my offspring That will
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			go to the fire The Prophet صلى الله
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:25
			عليه وسلم That Allah عز و جل said
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:29
			From every thousand Nine hundred and ninety nine
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:31
			Meaning one of every thousand goes to Jannah
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:33
			Nine hundred and ninety nine go to the
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:36
			fire So the overwhelming majority don't believe And
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:37
			that is what Allah عز و جل says
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			Concerning or saying to the Prophet صلى الله
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:42
			عليه وسلم Beware of the way that other
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			people think The standard is not to do
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45
			with numbers It's not to do with might
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:48
			or power Or any of those worldly metrics
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50
			that we use It is Iman and it
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52
			is good deeds And Taqwa of Allah عز
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			و جل That Allah سبحانه و تعالى loves
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			If you were to follow the vast majority
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:58
			of people يُضِلُّكَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ They will
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			take you away from Allah's path إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:04
			إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَإِنْهُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُسُونَ Because the reality
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:07
			is that they don't follow Revelation or truth
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:10
			or certainty Rather what they follow is speculation
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:13
			and guessing They simply use what they think
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:15
			in their minds Because of the deception of
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:17
			Shaytan To consider what they consider to be
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:19
			true And that is not the case In
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			terms of what is the reality That Allah
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:25
			عز و جل has revealed In verse 117,
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:26
			the final verse that we'll take today Allah
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:30
			عز و جل then says إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:35
			أَعْلَمُ مَن يَضِلُّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْدَدِينَ
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:37
			Your Lord knows best who strays from His
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:40
			path And who is rightly guided So Allah
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			عز و جل says That it is not
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			about the numbers It's not about the majority
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			or the minority But Allah عز و جل
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:48
			has best the knowledge of those Who are
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			upon Iman and guidance And those who are
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:53
			upon disbelief and misguidance So Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:54
			تَعَالَى is the one who will judge It
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			is not the place of anyone else to
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			judge Or to make that distinction Or to
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:02
			say decisively that these people are in Jannah
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			Or those people are in the fire But
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:07
			rather it is to do with the commands
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			of Allah عز و جل And so the
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:12
			numbers are not a proof For something or
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:15
			against something But rather the proof is knowledge
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			The proof is the signs of Allah عز
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:18
			و جل And the evidence that Allah سُبْحَانَهُ
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20
			وَ تَعَالَى has given And that is why
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			in our religion Our religion goes back to
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:25
			the sources of revelation The Quran and the
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27
			Sunnah of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
			And Allah عز و جل has most knowledge
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			Of those who are rightly guided And with
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33
			that we come to the end of today's
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:35
			episode بارك الله فيكم و صلى الله على
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:38
			نبينا محمد وعلى آله و صحبه أجمعين والسلام
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:49
