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.

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

Welcome to another episode of our Tafsir page

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

by page and today inshallah ta'ala we

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

will cover page 143 which is towards the

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

beginning of the 8th juz' of the Qur

00:00:53 --> 00:00:53

'an, Suratul In'am.

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

In the previous episode Allah subhanahu wa ta

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

'ala mentioned to us how the disbelievers even

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

if the major signs of Allah are to

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

come to them from the descent of the

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

angels and from the resurrection of the dead

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

and from gathering all of the things that

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

they wanted, they still wouldn't believe unless Allah

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

azzawajal willed for them to do so.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

And how those people when they do so,

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

when they disbelieve in Allah azzawajal and they

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

turn away from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

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

and they oppose the prophets and messengers of

00:01:19 --> 00:01:23

Allah and essentially become enemies to Islam and

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

to the prophets and messengers of Allah during

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

their times, then those are people that Allah

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

azzawajal has allowed them to do so.

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

Allah azzawajal describes them as the devils of

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34

humans and jinn, that they speak to one

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

another and they motivate one another, encourage one

00:01:36 --> 00:01:37

another to oppose the religion of Allah subhanahu

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

wa ta'ala.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

And we said that from the wisdoms behind

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42

this and for the one of the reasons

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

that Allah azzawajal has allowed this to happen

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

is as a test for the prophets and

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

for the messengers and the believers who follow

00:01:48 --> 00:01:48

them.

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

That there will always be people who oppose

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

you in terms of your religion, your belief,

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

your faith and so the Muslim therefore has

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

to find ways and means to remain steadfast

00:01:57 --> 00:01:58

during those challenging and trying times.

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

They must find the means of Iman and

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

worship and righteous deeds to continue to worship

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala even though it

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

may be difficult at times or challenging at

00:02:08 --> 00:02:11

other times and for that Allah azzawajal rewards

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

them greatly.

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

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala told our Prophet

00:02:13 --> 00:02:16

ﷺ in those verses that we covered that

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

if you were to follow the vast majority

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20

of those people, the vast majority of people

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

upon the earth, then you would be misguided

00:02:22 --> 00:02:23

and you would be turned away from the

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

path of Allah azzawajal because the majority of

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

people don't believe, the majority of people don't

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

accept Islam, the majority of people will not

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33

die upon the Tawheed of Allah subhanahu wa

00:02:33 --> 00:02:33

ta'ala.

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

In the verses that we continue with today,

00:02:36 --> 00:02:40

verse 118 onwards Allah azzawajal then says أَعُوذُ

00:02:40 --> 00:02:44

بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ فَكُنُوا مِمَّا ذُكِرَ أَصْبُ

00:02:44 --> 00:02:51

اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِن كُنتُم بِآيَاتِهِ مُؤْمِنِينَ So eat

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

any animal over which Allah's name has been

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

pronounced if you believe in his revelations.

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in those previous

00:02:58 --> 00:03:01

verses after speaking about Iman and guidance and

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

how Allah azzawajal knows best those who are

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

guided and those who aren't, Allah azzawajal now

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07

gives us a command that the people of

00:03:07 --> 00:03:10

Iman and belief should abide by and that

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

is that the people of Iman and the

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

people of belief in Allah azzawajal eat in

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

terms of the meat that they slaughter that

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

which Allah azzawajal's name has been recited upon.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

Allah's name is pronounced upon that meat and

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

then they eat it and that is because

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

the people of Jahiliyyah or the people of

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

pre-Islam they used to sacrifice and slaughter

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

to other than Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:03:31 --> 00:03:34

or they would eat from meat that wasn't

00:03:34 --> 00:03:35

sacrificed and slaughtered at all and so therefore

00:03:35 --> 00:03:38

Allah's name is not mentioned either because the

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

animal is dead is from carry on meat

00:03:40 --> 00:03:41

meaning animals that have died of their own

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

accord without being richly slaughtered they would eat

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

from it and they would say that this

00:03:45 --> 00:03:48

is something which Allah caused to die and

00:03:48 --> 00:03:49

so therefore we're going to eat from it

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

or they would slaughter to other than Allah

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

azzawajal and sacrifice to other than Allah subhanahu

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

wa ta'ala invoking the names of their

00:03:55 --> 00:03:58

gods and idols besides Allah azzawajal and so

00:03:58 --> 00:03:59

therefore they wouldn't invoke the name of Allah

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00

subhanahu wa ta'ala.

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

Allah azzawajal says but for you the people

00:04:02 --> 00:04:05

of Iman you recite the name of Allah

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07

azzawajal when you slaughter as we recite the

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

name of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala when

00:04:09 --> 00:04:10

we eat as well and that is from

00:04:10 --> 00:04:13

the etiquettes that unfortunately many Muslims today are

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

negligent of that before they eat that we

00:04:16 --> 00:04:17

recite they mention the name of Allah azzawajal

00:04:17 --> 00:04:20

to say Bismillah before you eat is from

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

the etiquettes of the Muslim when it comes

00:04:22 --> 00:04:24

to their food as the Prophet told us

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

sallallahu alayhi wasallam and he said sallallahu alayhi

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

wasallam that when you don't say Bismillah then

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

shaitan eats with you and so you end

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33

up overeating you end up eating more because

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

you're not just feeding yourself but you're feeding

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

shaitan with you but when you invoke the

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

name of Allah azzawajal Allah places barakah and

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

blessing in that food and Allah azzawajal saves

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

you from shaitan eating alongside you and so

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in this verse

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

he shows that it is permissible to eat

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

from that which Allah azzawajal has made halal

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

and these verses in surah al-an'am

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53

obviously have to be understood in the greater

00:04:53 --> 00:04:56

context of other verses in the Quran like

00:04:56 --> 00:04:57

the ones that we mentioned in surah al

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

-ma'idah in which Allah azzawajal goes through

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01

the details of what is halal and haram

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

in terms of the meat and the animals

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

that we consume and likewise what is found

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

in the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:05:07 --> 00:05:11

wasallam so Allah azzawajal says here eat from

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

that which Allah's name has been pronounced over

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

and that's a general statement but that general

00:05:15 --> 00:05:18

statement specified elsewhere in the Quran because we're

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20

told that it's not just any animal you

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22

can't eat for example predatory animals you can't

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

eat swine or pigs you can't eat certain

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

other animals you can't eat animals that have

00:05:26 --> 00:05:27

died in certain ways even if you recite

00:05:27 --> 00:05:31

Allah's name over them afterwards and so the

00:05:31 --> 00:05:33

verses of the Quran always complement one another

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35

and the verses of the Quran explain one

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

another and so from the mistakes that people

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

make today not only in this issue but

00:05:39 --> 00:05:41

in many issues is that we take verses

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

of the Quran and we isolate them we

00:05:43 --> 00:05:45

take them out of context and we just

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47

read that and we say but Allah said

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

it's okay yes Allah said okay here but

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

Allah azzawajal explained it further elsewhere and the

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam explained it in the

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

Sunnah so why have you taken this verse

00:05:55 --> 00:05:58

by itself and removed it from the rest

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

of the thousand odd verses of the Quran

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

and the thousands of a hadith of the

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

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and so when a

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

person comes for example and they say oh

00:06:06 --> 00:06:07

that Allah azzawajal doesn't speak about hijab in

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

the Quran but Allah azzawajal didn't say that

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

men have to have beard in the Quran

00:06:10 --> 00:06:12

and so on and so forth what they've

00:06:12 --> 00:06:15

done is they've isolated one part of revelation

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

from the rest of revelation and that is

00:06:17 --> 00:06:18

why when someone says something similar about an

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

issue to the companion the famous companion and

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

the scholar from amongst the companions Abdullah bin

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

Mas'ud radiyallahu anhu and Ibn Mas'ud

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

said that you will find this in the

00:06:27 --> 00:06:28

Quran and the person said I've read the

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

Quran from cover to cover beginning to end

00:06:30 --> 00:06:33

I never found Allah azzawajal mention anything concerning

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

this he said didn't Allah azzawajal say to

00:06:35 --> 00:06:37

you in the Quran wa ma aataakumu arrasoolu

00:06:37 --> 00:06:41

fakhudhoo wa ma nahaakumu anhu faintahu what the

00:06:41 --> 00:06:42

Messenger of Allah gives to you take it

00:06:42 --> 00:06:44

what he prevents you from or prohibits you

00:06:44 --> 00:06:46

from then refrain from it stay away from

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48

it they said yes he said that's it

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

then the Prophet told us sallallahu alayhi wasallam

00:06:50 --> 00:06:52

this and Allah commanded you in the Quran

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54

to follow what he tells you and so

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

therefore Allah azzawajal gives to us this revelation

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

and so it is important for us to

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

bring it together and so Allah subhanahu wa

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

ta'ala gave to us a number of

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

instructions in the Quran and likewise the Prophet

00:07:04 --> 00:07:06

sallallahu alayhi wasallam when it comes to our

00:07:06 --> 00:07:08

meat but the general ruling being as Allah

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

mentions here that the believer is the one

00:07:09 --> 00:07:12

who pronounces the name of Allah subhanahu wa

00:07:12 --> 00:07:13

ta'ala upon the meat at the time

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

of the slaughter that we meet which Allah

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

azzawajal has made permissible for us to slaughter

00:07:17 --> 00:07:19

you have a sheep you have a goat

00:07:19 --> 00:07:20

you have a cow you have a camel

00:07:20 --> 00:07:23

at the time of slaughter it is important

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

or obligatory upon you to invoke the name

00:07:26 --> 00:07:30

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Allah azzawajal

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

then says in verse 119 continuing with this

00:07:32 --> 00:07:36

with this point وَمَا لَكُمْ أَلَّا تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا

00:07:36 --> 00:07:40

ذُكِرَ اصْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَقَدَ فَصَّلَ لَكُمْ مَا

00:07:40 --> 00:07:46

حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا مَضْطُرِرْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا لَيُضِلُّونَ

00:07:46 --> 00:07:52

بِأَهْوَائِهِمْ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُعْتَدِينَ

00:07:52 --> 00:07:55

Why should you not eat such animals when

00:07:55 --> 00:07:57

Allah has already fully explained what is forbidden

00:07:57 --> 00:08:00

for you except when forced by hunger But

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02

many lead others astray by their desires without

00:08:02 --> 00:08:03

any true knowledge.

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

Your Lord knows best who oversteps the limits

00:08:05 --> 00:08:09

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says And why

00:08:09 --> 00:08:12

wouldn't you eat from that which Allah's name

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

has been invoked upon from that which Allah

00:08:14 --> 00:08:17

is made halal for you Why wouldn't you

00:08:17 --> 00:08:18

eat from it?

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

Why wouldn't you eat from that which Allah

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

has made halal for you because the mushrikeen

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24

of the Arabs used to make halal that

00:08:24 --> 00:08:26

which Allah Had made haram and make haram

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

that which Allah azawajal had made halal and

00:08:28 --> 00:08:29

Allah azawajal will give to us examples of

00:08:29 --> 00:08:32

this in this surah And in other surahs

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

of the Quran and that is the way

00:08:34 --> 00:08:36

of the mushrikeen of the Arabs That they

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

would choose what they considered to be worthy

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

of Allah and halal and what was unworthy

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

of Allah azawajal by their own Desires and

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

by their own accord by their own thoughts

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

and logic and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:08:46 --> 00:08:47

says and why wouldn't you eat from that

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49

Which Allah has made halal for you So

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51

if Allah azawajal has made something halal for

00:08:51 --> 00:08:52

you and the name of Allah azawajal has

00:08:52 --> 00:08:54

been invoked upon you Then it is something

00:08:54 --> 00:08:56

which you should eat from and as we've

00:08:56 --> 00:08:57

said before that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:08:57 --> 00:09:00

has made it haram upon us To make

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

haram that which Allah has made halal So

00:09:02 --> 00:09:03

for example when it comes to this issue

00:09:03 --> 00:09:06

of meat Because we have a great many

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

people today that prefer to have vegetarian diets

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

or vegan diets or other types of diets

00:09:10 --> 00:09:13

It is not permissible for the Muslim to

00:09:13 --> 00:09:16

say that meat is haram Meaning meat that

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18

Allah has made halal mutton lamb beef those

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20

types of meats It's not permissible for you

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

to say that it is haram You may

00:09:22 --> 00:09:23

not choose to eat it You may prefer

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

not to eat it or eat very little

00:09:25 --> 00:09:28

of it because of your personal preference But

00:09:28 --> 00:09:29

that doesn't make it permissible for you to

00:09:29 --> 00:09:31

make it haram upon yourself or upon others

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

or to say that I won't sit with

00:09:33 --> 00:09:34

Those people who eat meat or I don't

00:09:34 --> 00:09:36

like those people who eat meat and so

00:09:36 --> 00:09:37

on and so forth Allah azawajal has made

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

it halal So why wouldn't you eat from

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

it?

00:09:39 --> 00:09:42

وَقَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُمْ مَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ And Allah

00:09:42 --> 00:09:44

has already explained to you what is forbidden

00:09:44 --> 00:09:47

to you from it Meaning that Allah has

00:09:47 --> 00:09:50

made clear to you What is haram from

00:09:50 --> 00:09:51

the meat?

00:09:51 --> 00:09:54

So for example even animals that are usually

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56

halal if they're not slaughtered ritually in the

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

correct way according to the sharia They become

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00

haram The animal that dies of its own

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

accord the animal that's strangled the animal that

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

falls off a cliff and dies The animal

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07

that is gored by another animal All of

00:10:07 --> 00:10:09

these are different examples of that which Allah

00:10:09 --> 00:10:11

azawajal has made haram as we mentioned Towards

00:10:11 --> 00:10:12

the very beginning of surah al-ma'idah

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

that we spoke about this in detail Allah

00:10:15 --> 00:10:16

azawajal has made it clear therefore what is

00:10:16 --> 00:10:20

halal and what is haram Except when forced

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

by hunger meaning as we mentioned also before

00:10:22 --> 00:10:25

that in times of necessity In times of

00:10:25 --> 00:10:28

extreme need when a person has no other

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30

recourse or option except to eat from that

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

which is haram In order for their well

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

-being and their safety and their life Then

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36

the sharia gives to them leeway and gives

00:10:36 --> 00:10:39

to them a concession For that particular time

00:10:39 --> 00:10:40

and that moment in order for them to

00:10:40 --> 00:10:47

be able to continue to live Allah azawajal

00:10:47 --> 00:10:49

says but many lead others astray by their

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

own desires without any true knowledge And that

00:10:51 --> 00:10:53

is what you find today Unfortunately, even in

00:10:53 --> 00:10:55

our time that people will come and ascribe

00:10:55 --> 00:10:57

to the sharia that which is not from

00:10:57 --> 00:10:59

it They will ascribe to the religion of

00:10:59 --> 00:11:01

allah azawajal that that which the religion of

00:11:01 --> 00:11:04

allah does not ordain Doesn't permit doesn't speak

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06

about doesn't say and people come with their

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

own logic People come with their own their

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

own concepts people come with their own ideologies

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12

and then they Ascribe it to the quran

00:11:12 --> 00:11:14

of the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi

00:11:14 --> 00:11:17

wasallam And that is something which is which

00:11:17 --> 00:11:19

a person should be wary of because the

00:11:19 --> 00:11:21

quran is clear And the sunnah of the

00:11:21 --> 00:11:23

prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is clear Both of

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

them are easy to understand and both of

00:11:25 --> 00:11:28

them tell you very clearly What is halal

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

and what is haram and that is why?

00:11:30 --> 00:11:32

The muslim is the person who not only

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

takes from the quran and the sunnah But

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

they look at the understanding of the early

00:11:36 --> 00:11:39

generations of the muslims the companions their students

00:11:39 --> 00:11:42

Their students as well those early generations of

00:11:42 --> 00:11:47

muslims, including the four imams And the many

00:11:47 --> 00:11:49

other imams that lived in the times of

00:11:49 --> 00:11:51

the salaf You look at them and you

00:11:51 --> 00:11:52

look at the understanding and you look at

00:11:52 --> 00:11:53

what did they take from this?

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

And then you see therefore the pristine version

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

of islam the pristine understanding of the region

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

of islam because these were people of knowledge

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

These were people of understanding they lived in

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

the time of revelation or close to the

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

time of revelation They were imams and their

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

scholars and teachers were imams And so to

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

have knowledge that comes from that source and

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

comes from that level of knowledge That is

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

something which the believer should should always be

00:12:17 --> 00:12:19

proud of and should always look for And

00:12:19 --> 00:12:21

that is why the prophet told us on

00:12:21 --> 00:12:28

allah The best of generations is my generation

00:12:28 --> 00:12:30

than those who follow them and then those

00:12:30 --> 00:12:32

who follow them So the believer is someone

00:12:32 --> 00:12:34

who understands this because for the vast majority

00:12:34 --> 00:12:36

of people they follow their desires So they

00:12:36 --> 00:12:38

don't have very not very much knowledge of

00:12:38 --> 00:12:45

of allah's commands and his revelations And allah

00:12:45 --> 00:12:48

knows best those who overstep Those who overstep

00:12:48 --> 00:12:50

the boundaries of allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:12:51 --> 00:13:02

Allah azawajal then says in verse 120 Avoid

00:13:02 --> 00:13:05

committing sin whether openly or in secret for

00:13:05 --> 00:13:07

those who commit sin will be repaid for

00:13:07 --> 00:13:09

that which they do Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:13:09 --> 00:13:11

'ala speaks about sin and sin here is

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

everything which is in disobedience to allah subhanahu

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

wa ta'ala And allah azawajal tells us

00:13:15 --> 00:13:17

to stay away from sin that which is

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

open and that which is secret And that

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

is because sometimes for example in this in

00:13:21 --> 00:13:23

this subject or in this particular topic that

00:13:23 --> 00:13:25

allah azawajal is referring to in this context

00:13:25 --> 00:13:27

And that is when it comes to eating

00:13:27 --> 00:13:30

meat that is halal or haram Sometimes you

00:13:30 --> 00:13:31

will find that people will eat things that

00:13:31 --> 00:13:34

are haram and they will claim ignorance of

00:13:34 --> 00:13:36

it Or they will claim not to know

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

any better But they know deeply within themselves

00:13:38 --> 00:13:41

and they hide this but they know within

00:13:41 --> 00:13:42

themselves and recognize that what they're eating is

00:13:42 --> 00:13:44

haram And it's not permissible that it's not

00:13:44 --> 00:13:46

something which allah azawajal has allowed That's one

00:13:46 --> 00:13:50

example and people often do this that outwardly

00:13:50 --> 00:13:53

they profess ignorance but inwardly they have knowledge

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

They know the reality of that situation But

00:13:55 --> 00:13:57

it's just easy for them therefore to live

00:13:57 --> 00:13:59

in the state of delusion or deception Allah

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

subhanahu wa ta'ala says that the believer

00:14:01 --> 00:14:02

is the one who leaves all types of

00:14:02 --> 00:14:04

sin That which is open and that which

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

is secret And that which they know internally

00:14:07 --> 00:14:09

to be sin They leave off just as

00:14:09 --> 00:14:11

they leave off that which is apparent and

00:14:11 --> 00:14:13

they also stay away from that And that

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

is because as we said there are people

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

who for example only focus on their external

00:14:17 --> 00:14:20

But they will neglect their internal they focus

00:14:20 --> 00:14:22

on the external stuff So they won't steal

00:14:22 --> 00:14:24

and they won't they won't for example, uh

00:14:24 --> 00:14:26

commit zina they won't drink alcohol and so

00:14:26 --> 00:14:27

on But when it comes to the internal

00:14:27 --> 00:14:29

diseases of the heart when it comes to

00:14:29 --> 00:14:31

showing off When it comes to arrogance and

00:14:31 --> 00:14:34

pride when it comes to envy and jealousy

00:14:34 --> 00:14:36

and enmity and those types of things Then

00:14:36 --> 00:14:38

they don't they don't cleanse themselves internally and

00:14:38 --> 00:14:40

spiritually and so the believer is the one

00:14:40 --> 00:14:43

who understands that allah azawajal Has given to

00:14:43 --> 00:14:45

us things that are apparently haram meaning Openly

00:14:45 --> 00:14:47

that we do that are haram and other

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

things that are just as haram and sometimes

00:14:49 --> 00:14:51

more so But they are from the internal

00:14:51 --> 00:14:54

states of the heart Hypocrisy and showing off

00:14:54 --> 00:14:56

and those types of evils that we know

00:14:56 --> 00:15:02

from our religion For those who commit sin

00:15:02 --> 00:15:04

they will be repaid for that which they

00:15:04 --> 00:15:08

used to do And allah azawajal doesn't only

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

hold the people to account for their apparent

00:15:10 --> 00:15:13

sins or their openly Open sins or the

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

physical sins that they commit but rather allah

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

azawajal will hold them to account for their

00:15:16 --> 00:15:21

internal sins as well hypocrisy showing off arrogance

00:15:21 --> 00:15:23

pride These are all sins of the heart

00:15:23 --> 00:15:26

And they manifest themselves upon the body as

00:15:26 --> 00:15:27

well But their essence is in the heart

00:15:27 --> 00:15:29

and allah azawajal holds people to account for

00:15:29 --> 00:15:32

them as well Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:15:32 --> 00:15:37

then says in verse 121 وَاَكُلُوا مِمَّا لَمْ

00:15:37 --> 00:15:42

يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنَّهُ لَفِسْقَةً وَإِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ

00:15:42 --> 00:15:48

لَيُوحُونَ إِلَىٰ أَوْلِيَاءِهِمْ لِيُجَادِلُوكُمْ وَإِنْ أَطَعْتُمُوهُمْ

00:15:48 --> 00:15:51

إِنَّكُمْ لَمُشْرِكُونَ And do not eat anything over

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

which allah's name has not been pronounced for

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

that is breaking the law The evil ones

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

incite their followers to argue with you.

00:15:58 --> 00:15:59

If you listen to them, you too will

00:15:59 --> 00:16:02

become idolaters Allah azawajal says do not eat

00:16:02 --> 00:16:04

anything over which allah's name has not been

00:16:04 --> 00:16:06

pronounced for that is fisk It is breaking

00:16:06 --> 00:16:08

the laws of allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

So for example eating from that which has

00:16:10 --> 00:16:12

been sacrificed to other than allah To other

00:16:12 --> 00:16:14

than allah and other than allah's name.

00:16:14 --> 00:16:15

It is haram for the muslim to do

00:16:15 --> 00:16:19

so or to Seek or to or to

00:16:19 --> 00:16:21

uh or to eat from that meat in

00:16:21 --> 00:16:23

which allah's name hasn't been pronounced over at

00:16:23 --> 00:16:25

all So people may not sacrifice to allah

00:16:25 --> 00:16:27

or to other than allah that is equally

00:16:27 --> 00:16:30

as haram Or likewise as allah azawajal mentions

00:16:30 --> 00:16:31

in the quran In surah al ma'idah

00:16:31 --> 00:16:33

as we mentioned those things that allah has

00:16:33 --> 00:16:35

made haram because of the way that they

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

die They haven't been ritually started allah azawajal

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

says don't eat from those things because the

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

mushrikeen They used to eat from those types

00:16:42 --> 00:16:44

of meats and they would say that surely

00:16:44 --> 00:16:46

if what we kill with our own hands

00:16:46 --> 00:16:49

is permissible Then that which allah causes to

00:16:49 --> 00:16:50

die of its own accord is also permissible

00:16:50 --> 00:16:53

And so they would use their logic over

00:16:53 --> 00:16:55

and above and allow it to supersede the

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57

commands of allah The believer doesn't do so.

00:16:57 --> 00:16:58

It's not about whether it makes sense to

00:16:58 --> 00:17:00

you or not It's not about whether it

00:17:00 --> 00:17:01

is logical to you or not It is

00:17:01 --> 00:17:03

about what does allah say what doesn't he

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

say?

00:17:04 --> 00:17:05

And so the meaning of a muslim is

00:17:05 --> 00:17:07

this islam that they submit to allah azawajal

00:17:07 --> 00:17:10

They submit to the commands of allah subhanahu

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

wa ta'ala And allah says that the

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

devils are those who incite their followers to

00:17:20 --> 00:17:22

argue with you They are the ones who

00:17:22 --> 00:17:24

incite them and so they constantly argue with

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

you.

00:17:25 --> 00:17:26

They constantly debate with you They constantly say

00:17:26 --> 00:17:28

different things with you And all of it

00:17:28 --> 00:17:30

all of this is to do with their

00:17:30 --> 00:17:31

desires and to do with their logic and

00:17:31 --> 00:17:33

to do with what they think Should be

00:17:33 --> 00:17:35

or should not be And if allah azawajal

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37

has created us And allah is the one

00:17:37 --> 00:17:39

who provides and sustains for us and allah

00:17:39 --> 00:17:41

is our lord alone worthy of worship Then

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

it doesn't really matter what you think or

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

it doesn't really matter what you desire or

00:17:45 --> 00:17:48

it doesn't really matter what your deficient Logic

00:17:48 --> 00:17:50

tells you to do because allah is perfect

00:17:50 --> 00:17:52

and all-knowing and almighty and all by

00:17:52 --> 00:17:54

subhanahu wa ta'ala And me and you

00:17:54 --> 00:17:55

are deficient in every single way.

00:17:55 --> 00:17:57

And so we can't understand every wisdom of

00:17:57 --> 00:18:00

allah We can't understand every command of allah

00:18:00 --> 00:18:02

azawajal from a logical point of view But

00:18:02 --> 00:18:03

that is why we submit to allah and

00:18:03 --> 00:18:05

we obey allah azawajal just as even in

00:18:05 --> 00:18:07

our life There are certain things that you

00:18:07 --> 00:18:09

don't understand Sometimes your parents tell you to

00:18:09 --> 00:18:10

do something It doesn't make sense to you

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

or your boss tells you to do something

00:18:12 --> 00:18:13

doesn't make sense to you or the government

00:18:13 --> 00:18:15

tells you to Something doesn't make sense to

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

you.

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

You don't necessarily have to understand everything in

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

order for you to do it But you

00:18:19 --> 00:18:20

will obey your parents.

00:18:20 --> 00:18:21

You'll obey your employer.

00:18:22 --> 00:18:24

You'll obey the government because that is what

00:18:24 --> 00:18:26

you have to do So if those are

00:18:26 --> 00:18:27

the things that we do in our life

00:18:27 --> 00:18:29

because that is how we live and that's

00:18:29 --> 00:18:31

how we continue to thrive Then what about

00:18:31 --> 00:18:32

when it comes to the laws of allah

00:18:32 --> 00:18:33

subhanahu wa ta'ala and to him belongs

00:18:33 --> 00:18:38

the best of examples And if you listen

00:18:38 --> 00:18:39

to them you too will become from the

00:18:39 --> 00:18:42

people of shirk Because that is because you

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

will then turn away from allah's commandments and

00:18:44 --> 00:18:47

you will associate your own logic or your

00:18:47 --> 00:18:50

own desires Alongside allah azawajal in terms of

00:18:50 --> 00:18:50

worship.

00:18:50 --> 00:18:52

You will deny commands of allah and instructions

00:18:52 --> 00:18:54

of allah because it doesn't make sense to

00:18:54 --> 00:18:55

you That's what we find.

00:18:55 --> 00:18:56

Unfortunately many muslims doing today.

00:18:57 --> 00:18:58

They won't wear the hijab.

00:18:58 --> 00:18:59

They won't keep the beard.

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

They won't pray They won't do certain things

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

because to them it doesn't make sense to

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

them.

00:19:04 --> 00:19:06

It's not logical to them They think that

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

it's something which the the men did throughout

00:19:08 --> 00:19:10

history or it's something which which you know

00:19:10 --> 00:19:12

It's just part of the whole patriarchy of

00:19:12 --> 00:19:13

islam or whatever.

00:19:13 --> 00:19:15

It may be they will use different justifications

00:19:15 --> 00:19:17

to say that's not actually the religion That's

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

not actually islam That's something which people invented

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

or it's the culture or whatever it may

00:19:21 --> 00:19:23

be And those people are essentially using their

00:19:23 --> 00:19:26

logic and their desires to supersede the commandments

00:19:26 --> 00:19:28

of allah subhanahu wa ta'ala But if

00:19:28 --> 00:19:30

they were to stop and to study and

00:19:30 --> 00:19:31

to actually go they would see that it

00:19:31 --> 00:19:33

is the command of allah It is the

00:19:33 --> 00:19:34

command of the prophet.

00:19:34 --> 00:19:37

And whether it's something which you can accept

00:19:37 --> 00:19:39

or not is beside the point In fact,

00:19:39 --> 00:19:41

if you can't accept it But you fight

00:19:41 --> 00:19:44

your desires and you fight your logic and

00:19:44 --> 00:19:47

you fight the temptations of shaitan To overcome

00:19:47 --> 00:19:48

that and to submit to allah.

00:19:48 --> 00:19:50

Perhaps for you The reward is even greater

00:19:50 --> 00:19:52

because for other people who is easy to

00:19:52 --> 00:19:54

accept the command of allah in that particular

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

issue But for you it is something difficult

00:19:56 --> 00:19:58

and so different people struggle with different things

00:19:58 --> 00:20:00

And so these are all tests from allah

00:20:00 --> 00:20:04

subhanahu wa ta'ala Allah azza wa jal

00:20:04 --> 00:20:09

then says in verse number 122 Is a

00:20:09 --> 00:20:10

dead

00:20:10 --> 00:20:32

person

00:20:32 --> 00:20:33

brought back to life by us and given

00:20:33 --> 00:20:36

light with which to walk among people Comparable

00:20:36 --> 00:20:37

to those who are dead Trapped in deep

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

darkness who cannot escape in this way The

00:20:40 --> 00:20:42

evil deeds of the disbelievers are made to

00:20:42 --> 00:20:44

seem alluring to them Allah subhanahu wa ta

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

'ala says is the example of the two

00:20:46 --> 00:20:47

the same are they comparable?

00:20:48 --> 00:20:49

The one to whom allah azza wa jal

00:20:49 --> 00:20:51

has given to them The one who was

00:20:51 --> 00:20:53

dead, but then allah azza wa jal gave

00:20:53 --> 00:20:55

to them life They were dead because they

00:20:55 --> 00:20:57

were upon misguidance They were dead because they

00:20:57 --> 00:20:59

didn't know about tawheed of allah azza wa

00:20:59 --> 00:21:02

jal before guidance came to them But then

00:21:02 --> 00:21:03

allah azza wa jal gave to them guidance.

00:21:03 --> 00:21:04

He gave to them knowledge.

00:21:04 --> 00:21:05

He gave to them iman He gave to

00:21:05 --> 00:21:07

them the ability to follow the commandments of

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

allah azza wa jal and to be obedient

00:21:09 --> 00:21:11

to him And look at the beautiful way

00:21:11 --> 00:21:12

in which allah azza wa jal describes this

00:21:12 --> 00:21:18

person And then we gave to him a

00:21:18 --> 00:21:20

light by which he walks amongst the people

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

and that is the beauty of the muslim

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

The one who knows their religion everything they

00:21:24 --> 00:21:26

do They do because they know that it

00:21:26 --> 00:21:28

is something which is really stated by allah

00:21:28 --> 00:21:30

in their worship in their character in their

00:21:30 --> 00:21:32

dealings in Their interactions and so they walk

00:21:32 --> 00:21:35

upon the earth upon that light from allah

00:21:35 --> 00:21:36

subhanahu wa ta'ala And that is the

00:21:36 --> 00:21:38

beauty of knowledge the beauty of studying the

00:21:38 --> 00:21:40

quran and the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu

00:21:40 --> 00:21:42

alaihi wasallam Is that then whatever it is

00:21:42 --> 00:21:43

that you do in your business in your

00:21:43 --> 00:21:45

family life in your worship in your aqeedah?

00:21:45 --> 00:21:47

You do it based upon knowledge of allah

00:21:47 --> 00:21:49

subhanahu wa ta'ala that person the confidence

00:21:49 --> 00:21:51

that they have the mercy and blessings that

00:21:51 --> 00:21:53

allah Bestows upon them you see them walking

00:21:54 --> 00:21:56

Like a light and other people will look

00:21:56 --> 00:21:58

at them and they will admire them by

00:21:58 --> 00:22:00

allah's permission and they will emulate them or

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

seek To emulate them and have a respect

00:22:02 --> 00:22:04

for them because they can recognize the light

00:22:04 --> 00:22:06

of allah azawajal in them Because that is

00:22:06 --> 00:22:07

an an internal light.

00:22:07 --> 00:22:10

It is a spiritual light that manifests In

00:22:10 --> 00:22:12

a different way and those people who seek

00:22:12 --> 00:22:15

light of guidance They will be attracted to

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17

that type of light that person is someone

00:22:17 --> 00:22:21

that allah has honored Are they like the

00:22:21 --> 00:22:23

one who is in perpetual darkness?

00:22:24 --> 00:22:27

That person will cannot escape from it because

00:22:27 --> 00:22:29

they have no iman they have no knowledge

00:22:29 --> 00:22:30

They have no tawhid.

00:22:30 --> 00:22:32

They don't have the beliefs of allah subhanahu

00:22:32 --> 00:22:33

wa ta'ala.

00:22:33 --> 00:22:34

Are the two ever equal?

00:22:34 --> 00:22:36

The one who walks around not knowing what

00:22:36 --> 00:22:38

allah wants even amongst the muslims those who

00:22:38 --> 00:22:40

don't know what allah wants What is pleasing

00:22:40 --> 00:22:40

to allah?

00:22:40 --> 00:22:42

So they have the name of the muslim

00:22:42 --> 00:22:44

and they have the identity of a muslim

00:22:44 --> 00:22:46

But their whole life or sometimes many aspects

00:22:46 --> 00:22:49

of their life are in in contra in

00:22:49 --> 00:22:51

Contravention in contradiction to the commands of allah

00:22:51 --> 00:22:53

subhanahu wa ta'ala The two are not

00:22:53 --> 00:22:54

equal in any regard.

00:22:54 --> 00:22:56

Let alone the one who is a muslim

00:22:56 --> 00:23:01

and a disbeliever In this way the evil

00:23:01 --> 00:23:03

deeds of the disbelievers are made to seem

00:23:03 --> 00:23:06

alluring to them Allah azza wa jalla says

00:23:06 --> 00:23:18

in verse 123 And

00:23:18 --> 00:23:20

so we have put chief evildoers in every

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

city to perpetrate their schemes there But they

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

scheme only against themselves without realizing it It

00:23:26 --> 00:23:28

is from the sunnah of allah subhanahu wa

00:23:28 --> 00:23:29

ta'ala when it comes to the prophets

00:23:29 --> 00:23:31

and messengers and the believers That from amongst

00:23:31 --> 00:23:33

their enemies and those who oppose them There

00:23:33 --> 00:23:36

were always chiefs always leaders who would lead

00:23:36 --> 00:23:39

whether it's pharaoh and qarun and haman in

00:23:39 --> 00:23:41

the time of musa alayhi salam or in

00:23:41 --> 00:23:42

the time of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam

00:23:42 --> 00:23:44

the likes of abu jahl and abu lahab

00:23:44 --> 00:23:46

Always there are leaders whether we know them

00:23:46 --> 00:23:47

by name or not and allah azza wa

00:23:47 --> 00:23:49

jalla as I mentioned in a previous episode

00:23:49 --> 00:23:51

Often refers to them as the mala the

00:23:51 --> 00:23:54

nobility the chieftains the leaders of their people

00:23:54 --> 00:23:56

because the rest of them The rest of

00:23:56 --> 00:23:58

the follow the people of the populace or

00:23:58 --> 00:24:00

the nation will follow their leaders or many

00:24:00 --> 00:24:01

of them will follow their leaders In this

00:24:01 --> 00:24:03

regard allah azza wa jalla says that we

00:24:03 --> 00:24:08

have always put a The chief The chiefs

00:24:08 --> 00:24:11

and leaders of the evildoers in the cities

00:24:11 --> 00:24:15

opposing their prophets and messengers For their schemes

00:24:15 --> 00:24:17

to scheme against islam and this is from

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

the The wisdoms of allah subhanahu wa ta

00:24:20 --> 00:24:21

'ala because through this allah azza wa jalla

00:24:21 --> 00:24:23

shows his power And through this allah azza

00:24:23 --> 00:24:25

wa jalla shows his love for the believers

00:24:25 --> 00:24:27

and his protection of them and through this

00:24:27 --> 00:24:29

allah azza wa jalla shows the outcome of

00:24:29 --> 00:24:34

the disbelievers Because they scheme only against themselves

00:24:34 --> 00:24:36

without realizing it and when allah azza wa

00:24:36 --> 00:24:39

jalla then protects And gives salvation and success

00:24:39 --> 00:24:41

to the believers over the disbelievers Despite the

00:24:41 --> 00:24:44

disbelievers may having more wealth and power and

00:24:44 --> 00:24:46

so on and so forth allah azza wa

00:24:46 --> 00:24:48

jalla then shows The truth from falsehood and

00:24:48 --> 00:24:51

he makes it distinct And so just as

00:24:51 --> 00:24:53

you have leaders of evil then likewise allah

00:24:53 --> 00:24:55

azza wa jalla through this causes the leaders

00:24:55 --> 00:24:59

of iman to also become manifest Like the

00:24:59 --> 00:25:00

prophets and messengers of allah But then from

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

amongst their followers as well like in the

00:25:02 --> 00:25:04

time of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam abu

00:25:04 --> 00:25:07

bakr umar umar uthman ali Radhi allahu anhum

00:25:07 --> 00:25:08

and the other major companions.

00:25:08 --> 00:25:10

They also show that they are leaders of

00:25:10 --> 00:25:13

guidance and leaders of of the path of

00:25:13 --> 00:25:15

allah azza wa jalla Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:25:15 --> 00:25:16

'ala says in the final verse that we'll

00:25:16 --> 00:25:23

take today 124 وَإِذَا جَاءَتْهُمْ آيَةٌ قَالُوا لَنْ

00:25:23 --> 00:25:27

نُؤْمِنَ حَتَّىٰ نُؤْتَىٰ مِثْلَ مَا أُوْتِيَ رُسُولُ اللَّهِ

00:25:27 --> 00:25:32

اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ حَيْثُ يَجْعَلُ رِسَالَتَهِ سَيُصِيبُ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا

00:25:32 --> 00:25:38

صَغَارٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَعَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ مِّمَا كَانُوا يَمْكُرُونَ

00:25:38 --> 00:25:40

when a revelation is brought before them they

00:25:40 --> 00:25:42

say we shall not believe unless we ourselves

00:25:42 --> 00:25:45

are given a revelation as Allah's messengers were

00:25:45 --> 00:25:47

but Allah knows best where to place his

00:25:47 --> 00:25:50

message humiliation from Allah before Allah and severe

00:25:50 --> 00:25:53

torment will befall the evil evildoers for their

00:25:53 --> 00:25:55

scheming Allah says that these people when the

00:25:55 --> 00:25:57

prophets of Allah would come with the revelation

00:25:57 --> 00:25:59

and the message of Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:25:59 --> 00:26:01

'ala they would say why doesn't Allah give

00:26:01 --> 00:26:02

it to us as well if he's given

00:26:02 --> 00:26:04

you revelation he sent you angels he's given

00:26:04 --> 00:26:07

you this type of command why doesn't Allah

00:26:07 --> 00:26:09

inspire us and reveal to us and send

00:26:09 --> 00:26:11

to us the angels as well we will

00:26:11 --> 00:26:12

not believe until we see the signs that

00:26:12 --> 00:26:14

you have seen we will not believe until

00:26:14 --> 00:26:16

revelation comes to us as it has come

00:26:16 --> 00:26:18

to you Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says

00:26:18 --> 00:26:20

that this is also from their arrogance also

00:26:20 --> 00:26:22

from their disbelief also from their haughtiness that

00:26:22 --> 00:26:25

they would seek to say this audacity that

00:26:25 --> 00:26:27

they would have this audacity to say upon

00:26:27 --> 00:26:30

Allah give to us revelation we want to

00:26:30 --> 00:26:32

who are you to demand such a thing

00:26:32 --> 00:26:37

from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Allah is

00:26:37 --> 00:26:39

best knowing as to where to place his

00:26:39 --> 00:26:41

message Allah chooses the best of his creation

00:26:41 --> 00:26:43

to be his prophets and messengers and Allah

00:26:43 --> 00:26:45

azawajal does not just give that to anyone

00:26:45 --> 00:26:47

and to everyone rather this is one of

00:26:47 --> 00:26:50

the ways that Allah azawajal humiliates those people

00:26:55 --> 00:26:58

but Allah azawajal humiliates them in severe torment

00:26:58 --> 00:27:01

before the evildoers for their scheming and again

00:27:01 --> 00:27:02

this is one of the ways in which

00:27:02 --> 00:27:05

Allah azawajal makes manifest their haughtiness their rejection

00:27:05 --> 00:27:08

their disbelief they're turning away from Allah subhanahu

00:27:08 --> 00:27:10

wa ta'ala and with that we come

00:27:10 --> 00:27:11

to the end of today's episode
