Certain Things Like Alcohol Or Engage In Riba
Or For Example They Are People Who Innovate
In The Religion Or They Commit Forms And
Acts Of Shirk.
Those Are People That Are Speaking And Ascribing
To Allah'S Religion Things That They Have No
Knowledge Of So That Is The Worst And
The Essence Of All Evil And Then Shirk
Is The Next One Because That Is The
Greatest Manifestation Or Speaking About Allah'S Religion Without
Knowledge And Then The Others Come In The
Order That Is Mentioned Within This Verse.
So Allah Azzawajal Begins With The Least Grave
Even Though It Is Still Grave, We Still
Call It A Grave Thing Because Allah Azzawajal
Calls It Haram But There Is The Least
Of Them In Gravity Then For Example The
Shirk That Allah Azzawajal Has Made Haram And
As A Result Of Those People Were Not
Going To Jannah At Any Time Or Any
Point.
Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Then In Verse Number
34 Continues And He Says This
Is A Time Set For Every People.
They Cannot Hasten It Nor When It Comes
Will They Be Able To Delayed For A
Single Moment.
This Is You Will Find Something Which Is
Repeated A Number Of Times In The Quran.
This Concept That Allah Azzawajal Has Given To
Every Single Thing An Appointed Time.
Everything A Person'S Lifespan And The Lifespan Of
This World And When Yawm Al-Qiyamah Will
Come All Of These Things Have An Appointed
Time, The Lifetime Of A Country Or A
Civilization Or An Empire.
All Of These Things Have An Appointed Time,
Every Single People, Every Nation Have An Appointed
Time For Them And When That Time Comes
That Allah Azzawajal Has Appointed For Them.
You Are Not Able To Delay By A
Single Moment Nor Hasten By A Single Moment
That Appointed Time Of Allah Azzawajal And That
Is Why If Allah Appoints For Someone A
Time To Die Irrespective Of Where They Are,
Irrespective Of What They'Re Doing, Irrespective Of
Their General Health Conditions And Well-Being And
Wealth And All Of Those Other Things, Their
Age And All The Immaterial.
When Allah Decrees That Someone Can Die, It
Can Be A 20-Year-Old In The
Prime Of Their Youth With All Of Their
Strength With No Prior Health Conditions Or Issues.
Someone Is Extremely Fit And Healthy, Constantly Goes
To The Gym And All Sorts, But Allah
Decrees That Person Is Going To Die, They
Die.
They May Be Out With Their Friends.
They May Be Traveling.
They May Be Walking The Road.
They May Be Sleeping In Bed, Only Allah
Knows.
But When That Time Comes For Me And
You And Everyone, Allah Appoints And That'S Why
People Die In Many Different Circumstances And In
Many Different Situations And Scenarios And That Is
What Allah Azzawajal Is Referring To.
That Is A Reminder Therefore That Allah Subhanahu
Wa'Ta'Ala Will Hold Us To A Count
That None Of Us Have A Guarantee That
We Will See At The Rest Of Today
Or Tomorrow.
How Many People Wake Up In The Day
They Think That They'Re Going To Plan
For That Day And The Next Day And
The Next Week And The Next Month And
The Next Number Of Years, But Allah Decrees
That By Their Evening, By That Evening They
Have A Sudden Heart Attack Or A Stroke
Or Some Type Of Aneurysm Or Something Else
Will Take Place Or Happen Or They Be
Involved In Some Type Of Road Collision And
Then They'Re Going To Pass Away.
Only Allah Azzawajal Knows What Is In A
Person'S Future.
Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Says In Verse Number
35, O
Children Of Adam When The Messengers Come To
You From Amongst Yourselves Reciting My Revelations To
You, For Those Who Are Conscious Of Allah
And Live Righteously, There Will Be No Fear
Nor Will They Grieve.
Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Says When Allah Azzawajal
Took Out Our Father Adam Alayhi Salam From
Jannah And Caused Him To Descend Upon The
Earth, Then Allah Azzawajal Tested Him And Tested
His Progeny After Him And Allah Azzawajal Sent
As A Result Of That The Messengers And
Revealed To Them Divine Scriptures So That They
May Understand And Know The Path That Will
Lead Them Ultimately Back To Their Homeland, Their
Original Homeland And The Homeland Of The Muslim
Is Often We Speak About Homeland In The
Worldly Sense That Our Homeland Is In Asia
And Africa Wherever It May Be, But The
Homeland Of The People Of Islam Is Jannah,
That Is Where Our First Father Was And
That Is Where Allah Azzawajal Placed Him And
That Is The Promise Of Allah Azzawajal That
We Will Return Back To That Homeland And
People In The Dunya Often Speak About Their
Homelands And Many Of The Of The Of
The Of The Wars And The Conflicts That
Take Place In This World Or As A
Result Of This Concept Of My Homeland And
What Are My Rights And So On, But
For The Believer What Is Above All Of
This, What Transcends All Of This Is The
Greatest Of Those Homelands And That Is Jannah.
So That Is What Allah Azzawajal Says That
Allah Will Say To Those People Who The
Messengers Were Sent To And They Brought Their
The Revelations Of Allah Azzawajal What Did You
Do With Them?
Did You Not Believe In Them?
And If They Did They Had Taqwa Of
Allah Azzawajal And They Did Good Deeds And
They Worshipped Allah Azzawajal And They Believed In
Allah Azzawajal Alone They Will Have No Fear
Nor Will They Grieve Meaning That They Will
Have The Rewards Of Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala
And Nothing Will Stand Between Them And The
Mercy Of Allah Azzawajal However In Verse 36
Those Who Turned Away But
Those Who Reject Our Revelations And Arrogantly Scorn
Them Are The People Of The Fire And
They Will Remain Therein.
And So The People Who Turned Away, They
Deny, They Rejected.
They Were Too Haughty And Proud To Accept
And Too Arrogant To Accept The Messengers And
Prophets Of Allah And The Revelations Of Allah
Azzawajal.
Those Are The People That Will Enter Into
The Fire And They Will Remain Therein Forever.
So Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala In These Last
Couple Of Passages These Episodes That We'Ve
Seen Gives To Us The Story From The
Beginning Of The Creation Of Adam Alayhi Salatu
Wassalam And The Trial That He Went Through
And The Test And How Allah Azzawajal Forgave
Him For The Mistake That He Made And
How Then That Became A Wider Test For
All Of His Progeny.
That Dual Initial Duel Between Adam And Shaitaan
Iblis That Then Becomes Something Which All Of
Their Descendants Now Have To Battle And So
We Constantly Battling With Shaitaan With Iblis And
With The Descendants Of Iblis And His Armies
And So We Are Looking At The Path
That Will Take Us Back To Allah Azzawajal
And Jannah And He Is There Just As
He Did With Adam Alayhi Salam Trying To
Divert Us Away From That Path, Try To
Block Our Return To Our Homeland, Try To
Block Our Path Back To Jannah And To
Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala But If You Understand
What Allah Is Telling You In The Quran,
You Understand These Revelations And These Signs Of
The Messengers Of Allah Then You Will Know
And Recognize What Is True And What Is
Correct And What Is Right And What Is
Pure And You Will Follow That And You
Will Learn The Traps Of Shaitaan And His
Tricks And You Will Do Your Utmost To
Stay Away From Them.
And So Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala In These
Verses Is Giving To Us A Very Clear
Sign Of The Duel That Began From The
Very Beginning Of Time From The Creation Of
Adam Alayhi Salatu Wasalam, The Human Beginning Of
Time And It Will Last Until Yawm Al
-Qiyamah And One Of The Greatest Traps Of
Shaitaan Is That He Makes Us Forget This
Just As Allah Azzawajal Told Us At The
Beginning Of The Story When Adam Alayhi Salam
And Hawa Are Placed Into Jannah, Allah Azzawajal
Says All Of Jannah Is For You, Eat
From Wherever You Please But Refrain And Avoid
One Tree.
Now Logically You Will Stop And You Will
Think How That Should Be Relatively Easy, Right?
You Have A Garden That Is Amazing And
Has Every Single Fruit And Every Single Tree
Of Every Single Type And One Tree You
Are Told Stay Away From But It Is
Also Human Nature And Iblis Knows This Better
Than Anyone.
It Is Human Nature That That Is The
Tree That Sooner Or Later You Will Go
For, That People Will Become Very Curious About.
That'S The Things That They Will Want To
That They Will Be Tempted To Check Out
Or To Try Or To Just Experience.
That Is What Shaitaan Does And So Shaitaan
Will Come To A Person And He Will
Say Go And Watch That Thing, Go And
Listen To That Thing, Go And Try That
Thing, It'S An Experience.
If It'S No Good Or You Don'T Like
It Then You Can Stay Away Or He
Comes And He Says Try It Once Because
If You Try Once Then You'Ll Understand
It Better And If You Understand Something Better
It'S Easy For You To Avoid It And
These Are All Traps Of Shaitaan And Shaitaan
Comes And He Gives Us These False Promises
Of How It'S Okay Or How It'S Just
Once Or How Whatever It May Be As
He Did With Adam A.S. Eat From
This Tree, You Will Become Immortal.
Eat From This Tree, You Will Become Angels
Like The Angels That You Saw With Allah
Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala And All Of Them Are
False Promises.
All Of Them Are Lies Because Allah Azawajal
Tells Us So In The Quran, Allah Tells
Us In The Surah Surat Al-A'Raf
That Iblis Made This Promise To Allah That
He Would Misguide All Of Adam'S Progeny And
His Offspring Except For Those Who Sincerely Worship
Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala And So Allah Tells
Us This Is Your Enemy.
This Is His Plan.
This Is What He'S Trying To Accomplish.
These Are The Ways In Which He'S Trying
To Accomplish This And This Is Your Solution.
So Those People Who Know This As Allah
Azawajal Mentioned In These Last Couple Of Verses
That We Just Mentioned Verses 35 And 36,
Those Who Understand This When The Prophets Come
And The Messengers Come And The Revelation Comes
To Them, They Read It, They Understand This,
They Comprehend This, They Reflect Upon This And
Then They Implement It In Their Lives.
They Can Recognize Because Of The Knowledge That
Allah Has Given To Them.
They Can Recognize The Traps Of Shaitan And
That'S Why The Scholars Of Islam Wrote Books
On This Topic Such As The Book Of
Ibn Al-Jawzi, Talbis Iblis, The Devil'S Deception
Tells You The Tricks Of Shaitan Ibn Qayyim,
Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Wrote About The Different
Levels Of Shaitan And How He Progresses From
One To The Next.
He Makes You Start Off From Something Very
Small, Start Off From Something Small.
It'S Not Even Necessarily Haram.
It'S Just That You'Re Wasting Time When
You'Re Not Really Doing Anything Beneficial Or
If You'Re Going To Do Something Good,
You'Ll Do The Lesser Of The Two
Goods Rather Than Getting More Reward.
You'Ll Go For The Option Of Risk,
You Will Still Reward.
It'S Still A Good Deed.
But This Is How Shaitan Begins Because Shaitan
Plays The Long Game.
Shaitan Knows That He May Have With You
Maybe 20, 30, 50, 100 Years.
Shaitan Is Waiting For Those Years.
He Doesn'T Think That He Needs To Get
A...
That'S Human Nature To Have An Immediate Sense
Of Gratification Today, Tomorrow We Need To Achieve
A Result.
Shaitan Iblis Doesn'T Have That Personality Trait.
He Can Wait.
He Promised Allah That He Would Wait Until
Yawm Al-Qiyamah If Allah Gave Him The
Permission To Live That Long And Allah Azawajal
Did So And So Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala
Wrote So In That In That Trial And
The Evil Of Iblis, There Is Some Good
As Ibn Qayyim And Others Mentioned And From
The Good That You See Within The Evil
Is Those People Who Ward Off The Temptations
Of Shaitan And They Strive Against Them And
They Turn To Allah And They Make Tawbah
And They Overcome Their Nafs And Their Desires
And Their Soul And Its Temptations And They
Turn To Allah And They Make Dua And
They Struggle And They Strive How Much Good
Comes From The Evil Of Shaitan For The
Believers Only Though, For Those People Of Iman
And How Allah Azawajal Because Of The Good
That They Do As A Result Of That
Great Evil That Is Upon Them And Struggling
With Them And Not Trying To Overcome Them
How Amazing Their Reward Is, How Allah Loves
Those People, How Allah Honors Them And Rewards
Them, How Allah Boasts About Them Amongst The
Angels.
Those Are The People That Allah Azawajal Loves
Why?
Because Despite All Of This And Despite This
Evil That Is There Constantly Within Their Lives,
They Learn To Overcome It With Piety, With
Righteousness, With Iman, With Tawheed, With Good Deeds,
With Good Character, With All Those Things That
Are Blessed And Beautiful In Our Religion.
And So Inshallah Ta'ala We Ask Allah
Azawajal That He Makes Us From Amongst Those
People Who Have The Fortitude And The Ability
And The Steadfastness To Overcome The Traps Of
Shaitan And That Allah Azawajal Gives Us The
Ability To Learn His Religion To Know It
And To Implement It And To Overcome The
Trials Of The Dunya And The Tests Of
This Life And That Allah Azawajal Makes Us
From Amongst Those People Who Take His Revelation
And Take The Words Of His Prophet Salallahu
Alaihe Wasalam And Understand And Comprehend And Apply
It And With That They Will Receive The
Greatest Reward Of Allah Azawajal.
We Come To The End Of Today'S Episode.
