Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Kleber to 13 Allah Aduana Allah and Allah demean or shadow Allah either in Allahu Allahu Allah Sharika Who 11 Oh, well you know what Akkadian or I should do another Vienna Muhammad Abdul rasool Allah Mustafa Amin Allahumma salli wa sallim wa barik ala Abdullah sadaqa Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi edge Marina my back. Welcome to another episode of outdoorsy a page by page where inshallah to Allah we aim to take a page of the Quran more or less an episode and make it feel. Today we are on page number 16 of the first jewels of the Quran Surah Al Baqarah. And over the previous few

episodes, Allah subhanaw taala in the verses that we've covered, has been speaking about the nation of Benissa eel and the many blessings that He bestowed upon them and in return the, the way that they behaved or the way that they responded to the Command of Allah azza wa jal and his is his legislation is Sharia, and the way that they dealt with their prophets that alliance which was sent to them and the way that they dealt with the revelation that was given to them. And also then by extension, the way that they rejected our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the revelation of the Quran.

Allah subhanaw taala in the previous verse that we mentioned at the end of the last episode, Allah subhanaw taala says that when the revelation of the Quran came to them, and it's a revelation that attests to the truthfulness of that which they had already received, meaning that they can judge the truthfulness of the Quran, and the truthfulness of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam based upon what they already accept as being true from the Prophet, Mousavi salatu salam and the Torah they can compare. And they can see that this is something that follows on from that, that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam only brought in terms of his message and his call is something

which was confirmed by the Torah and by Mousavi Salatu was Salam beforehand. Allah azza wa jal says, however, what they did instead, is that the through the book of Allah behind their backs, meaning that they disregarded and rejected the book of Allah azza wa jal ignoring it as if they took the physical book, and they throw it away out of disrespect or narrow rejection. So then if they're not going to follow the revelation of Allah subhanaw taala they're not going to follow the way of Allah azza wa jal, they're not going to follow the guidance of Allah subhanaw taala what do they follow instead? This is what Allah azza wa jal begins on in PEI begins with on page number 16, verse number

102.

Allah subhanaw taala says, Are all the MILA human a shape on the regime? What terbaru Ummah to Lucia between what are the Maliki Suleyman and instead, the followed what was fabricated concerning the kingdom of Solomon Are you salatu salam, the prophet Salim Ali salatu salam, he was one of the prophets and prophets of Allah subhanho wa taala, from the people of Bani Israel. And so the main ally salatu salam, as we know from elsewhere in the Quran, was not only a prophet, but he was a king, he was given a vast kingdom by Allah subhanaw taala. And he was given a number of, of miracles that Allah azza wa jal gave to him, to attest to his truthfulness as a prophet of Allah subhanaw

taala. From the miracles that he was given was that he was given the ability to command the jinn, the devil this creation, the gem that Allah azza wa jal created, and it is one of the creations that Allah subhanaw taala has given to it free will just as humans have free will. So amongst the gender are believers and disbelievers amongst them that are righteous and those that aren't righteous. Allah azza wa jal created this creation, which is made from a smokeless fire, Allah subhanaw taala gave the Prophets and the man Ali salatu salam authority over them, and so he had the ability to command them on his salatu salam.

Allah subhanaw taala says a woman Cafaro Suleyman, who were lacking the shell Tina Cafaro you only moon unnecessary her. And Allah subhanaw taala says that the prophet shall the man himself was not a disbeliever rather, he was the evil ones, the disbelievers amongst them, who disbelieved. Rather, it was a shell being the evil ones, the devils that disbelieved because they taught one another or they taught the people, witchcraft. Allah subhanaw taala is saying that the people have been strongly rejected the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they reject the revelation of Allah subhanaw taala. What do they follow? instead? They follow what they claim was the case of in the time of

Solomon, are you salatu salam, and that is the devils in the jinn that existed during his time and

Is that they say that sorry man are you slammed the vast kingdom that he had and Allah azza wa jal as we will go throughout the Quran will speak about this verse kingdom in a number of places and sorrows in the Quran, not least of which in Surah number one we have the story of Solomon Ali Salaam and the Queen Bill peace now and the amazing amazing power that Allah azza wa jal gave to Salim and Ali salatu salam, the miracles that he was given, and the vast kingdom that he then commanded by Allah's permission and Israel subhanaw taala. The Jews claimed are a group from amongst them claimed that this vast kingdom and power that was given to Saudi men are you salatu salam was as a result of

witchcraft and sorcery. It was as a result of the magic that he learned that he employed by the jinn and so on, that he was able to have this vast kingdom and Allah subhanaw taala because they're at that level. And we're not speaking about parlor tricks. We're not speaking when you say magic, we're not speaking about a, you know, sleight of hand all the tricks that you see when someone's putting a coin from your ear. Those types of things which are not really sorcery, they're not really magic. In that sense. It's just a fast movement of the hands and so on. That is something which is different to what has been referred to here, and that is the witchcraft, the sorcery, that involves the shape

the shouting the jinn, when you invoke other than Allah subhanaw taala. And a great element or a great part of that can be and often is shared with Allah subhanaw taala it is to make sure with the Lord's diligent or to in some way, disbelieve in the revelation or to or to write things that give the other are in the essence shidduch and associating partners in the worship of Allah subhanaw taala This is the claim that they make of Sunni men are you set up, that he was engaged in this type of witchcraft that allowed him to have the, the kingdom that he possessed? And that would then mean that he engaged in types of Cofer in types of Schilke with Allah subhanaw taala. And as we know that

the people of the scriptures of the past have no, you know, they have no scruples or they have no issue with claiming that there are prophets that committed me just in their moral problems and claiming that there were prophets who, who committed incest or committed adultery, all those things are very, very easy for the muddles The sessions are some things which they those claims are things which they make throughout their scriptures and throughout the books. However for us, the prophets of Allah don't commit me just since the for us the prophets of Allah don't commit Corporal ship. And that is where Allah azza wa jal says we're Makkah for a Sunni man. Sunni man didn't commit Cofer.

We're lacking the shayateen a Cafaro. But it is the Devils of the time that made cover when they were teaching people sit down and magic. Allah azza wa jal says woman wounds you know and then Molokini be Bob, you know how Rotella Mao wrote, they taught people witchcraft and what was revealed in Babylon to the two angels, how Ruth and my route Babylon is an area of Iraq, of the Old Kingdom known as Mr. Potamia. And so Allah azza wa jal is saying that he sent down to angels by the name of how route and my route that taught people be the witchcraft and the sorcery that these people are claiming that was that these people claim or the the Jewish tribes claim was the essence of the

kingdom of Solomon Ali salatu salam, there is a great discussion amongst the scholars of Tafseer. As to whether Howard and Mao wrote, these are the names of the two angels are the names of two angels or whether they are the names of two magicians, and you will see different scholars taking different positions amongst that the strong of those two positions and what seems to be more apparent, and Allah azza wa jal knows best is that they are the names of the two angels as was the position of the emammal the scholars have to see really mammoth poverty Rahima Hula, hula terrible hermetical West. Yeah, and those statements of the scholars of some of the scholars of the stuff such as even Ibis

what the Allah one woman others that they are the names of two sorceress doesn't actually dispute to contradict the position of Director of the Imam of poverty, because we're saying that they are angels, the tooth sorcery, they are angels that are sorceress. And so therefore, when some of the set have said that they are sorceress that doesn't negate them also being angels at the same time, just as you can have a prophet that was also a king, him being a king doesn't negate his profited. And it's profitable doesn't negate him his kingdom, or the king, that the king that he is in terms of his position, and Allah azza wa jal knows best, but that seems to be the strongest of those two

positions. The question then arises, the question then arises, how can Allah azza wa jal? Why does Allah subhanaw taala send them to angels? Angels that therefore are doing what Allah commanded? Because the angels of Allah only those are not commands? Why is he sending them down to teach witchcraft and sorcery? And the answer to this as an imam of poverty mentioned and Allah azza wa jal knows best is because Allah subhanaw taala sent them down as a test and a trial. And Allah azza wa jal sends down good and he sends down evil. If Allah azza wa jal had wished there would have been no IBLEES there would have been no one that to tempt creation, there would have been no evil created in

the earth, in the sense that there can be no murder. There could be no stealing, there could be no Xena, there could be nothing which is

Evil haram in its essence, but Allah subhanaw taala allow this and allow that Allah good and allowed evil because that is the life of this world. It is the life of test. So when Allah subhanaw taala sent down these two angels, and they're teaching witchcraft, they're doing it in order to test people. Will people see this temptation and stay away from it or will they fall into it and into the aspect of shipped? And that is when Allah azza wa jal says to make it very clear that it is a test that those angels themselves clarified. Stay away from this, this is the test. Well, now you are Lima and even hadn't had Dalia cooler in Amman nofit Neptune further attack for these two meaning

how route and my route never taught anyone without first warning them. We have only been sent as a fitna as a test. So do not disbelieve. Because as we said shirt,

or magic and witchcraft at its highest level, is a form of shook and that is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam forbade it and it is considered to be from the major sins that a person can perform. And so these angels came in they weren't people, this is the test it is a temptation, stay away from it do not commit disbelief, but as always, there will always be people who take it and they will disregard the commands of Allah subhanaw taala and they will do as they please, because they are following their desires instead of the, instead of the commands of Allah azza wa jal Allah subhanaw taala. Then in this verse 102 speaks about one of the greatest evils that results

from witchcraft and from sorcery. Allah subhanaw taala says, ferment viatera lamona Amin Houma youfit The owner be banal Marie was OJ one man whom belong Rena behave in a hadith elaborated nila, from these two they learnt what can cause discord between a man and wife from the west evils and from one of the reasons that people often use this witchcraft and sorcery is to split between the husband and wife, to cause them to have discord, divorce amongst them problems amongst them. It is something which people do when they see and there is jealousy from one family, to work towards another from one person towards another, whatever it may be. And often people when it comes to these

issues of marriages, can be extremely harmful to one another. Because I wanted her to marry into my family. I wanted her to be the spouse of my son or him to be the spouse of my daughter, and now that he's chosen someone else, we're going to cause problems between them. And so they cause this discord between them. And we know that that is something extremely pleased him to Bliss. As the Prophet told us on Allah wa he was telling me in the Hadith, that when it leaves, sends out his armies of devils in the morning, and they come back to report to him, he asks them what they did, and the one who comes and says, I cause discord between a husband and wife. That one, he arrives to come and sit

close to him, he brings him and draws him near, because he's pleased with what he's done. Because that causes problem in the family. It causes problems with the children, it causes problems in the Tobia and and the good conduct of the whole community and of society in general. And Allah subhanaw taala says, but know that no one can harm anyone except by Allah subhanahu danas permission, and by his leave, and that is the belief that we have with regards to this, that even those who perform witchcraft and sorcery, they only do so because Allah azza wa jal has given them leave to do so Allah subhanaw taala by his permission, they do so. And nothing happens in this universe, except

that Allah commands it and controls it. Therefore the question why does Allah didn't allow it as we said, because there is a test. Allah wants to see the level of people's Eman. Allah wants to see the level of people's obedience. Allah subhanaw taala wants to see how they ward off that evil from themselves and how their patient against it. And through that the believers increase in good deeds, and they expect their sins and the disbelievers go further into the coffin and disbelief and the increase in their evil deeds. Were at our Lamone amiodarone Mala Yun Pharaoh whom Allah says they only learn that which harms them not that which benefits one another it Mola Manish Tara, Houma, the

whole Phil, Akira team in Allah. And Allah says, knowing full well that whatever whoever gain this knowledge would lose their share of the hereafter. While summer shallow will be foster home Low Can We are alone, evil indeed is the price for which they have sold their souls, if only they knew Allah subhanaw taala says that the learn from this magic that which is haram, that which does haram even though it is only Allah azza wa jal that even though Allah subhanaw taala is the one who controls the heavens and earth, in which therefore there is a lesson for the believer that so long as you tend to Allah, stay steadfast upon this religion. Make vicar of Allah azza wa jal make dua to Allah

subhanaw taala surround yourself with good people engage in the remembrance of Allah azza wa jal and his worship, then by Allah's Will, you will be safeguarded from the evils of this witchcraft and sorcery and if it does still strike you, you

Here's because Allah azza wa jal loves you and wants you to increase even more in the good that you're doing in your level and in your status by Allah subhanaw taala has mercy and by His permission,

but people who engage in sorcery and witchcraft, Allah says, they only learned that which is harmful, not that which is beneficial. And they know that by doing so they have chosen to sell off any portion of the hereafter. Again, it is that transaction that is being made of California and shipped and disbelief in Allah azza wa jal rejecting the commands of Allah subhanaw taala. For the paltry price of this dunya because you want the love of someone, or you want someone's marriage proposal to be accepted, or you want some type of other worldly, temporary, tangible benefit, that ultimately will not give you success in the next life and that is why Allah azza wa jal says that it

is an evil transaction. Evil is what you have purchased your souls with, if only they knew Allah subhanaw taala that speaks about the people of iman, those who do the opposite. wallow in EM and know what taco lemma through bathroom in the law you will know can we are alone in verse 103. If they had only believed and being mindful of Allah azza wa jal had, Taqwa of Allah, the reward from him would have been far better, if only they knew. As for the believers, they don't make sure that they don't make cover. As for the believers, even when they see the opportunity before them that they could if they wanted to, to do harm, they could do harm. But they know by that taking the DAT

by taking that path, by going along that road, they disobey Allah. They reject Allah's commands, they distances, they distance themselves from the reward of Allah subhanaw taala and from his from his obedience, and therefore they weaken their own state of iman, so they stay away from it. And instead they are mindful of Allah azza wa jal conscious of Allah subhanaw taala people of Taqwa and piety, people of Eman and they know that the reward of Allah azza wa jal is for those people who can remain steadfast and patient on this world, even when harm comes to them. They seek to repel that hump with that which is pleasing to Allah subhanaw taala, as Allah says, says elsewhere in the

Quran, in the variability here, axon, prevent harm by doing that, which is good. If you're going to ward off something, just because someone's hurt you doesn't mean that you can go into Preston even more, there are limits and there are protocols within the Sharia. There are ways and means by which Allah azza wa jal has allowed you to take your rights and when he's a means by which Allah subhanaw taala has commanded you to behave. And so the believer is the one who takes that path and adheres to the commandments of Allah subhana wa Tada

Allah azza wa jal in verse number 104 104. He continues and he says, You have Lavina Amanullah Taku Raja you know what? I'm gonna smell? What didn't carefully in either any of you who believe do not say to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, or Arina Barra, the CEO and Lorna and listen to him, for indeed an agonizing torment awaits those who ignore Allah subhanaw taala. Allah azza wa jal is given an instruction to the believers, the believers at the beginning of Islam, when the prophets of Allah Allah will send them will teach them when he would come to them with commandments when he will come to them with instructions. They will often say to the prophets of Allah while he was still a

marina, or in our means, take into account our situation, saying to the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and they meant something good with this messenger of Allah be gentle with us, on Messenger of Allah taking into account our situation, many of them are weak, many of them are poor man, oh Allah azza wa jal think, or meaning or Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam think concerning our situation, before you teach us before you instruct us before you give us guidance. And that is no doubt. And one of the etiquettes of the teacher from the etiquettes of the teacher on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was the greatest of all teachers, from the

etiquettes of the teacher is that they know the situation of the students, they can recognize their strengths and their weaknesses, their needs, and the challenges and the hardships that they're going through. A good teacher is the one who sees the levels of their students and sees what they're going through. And they change and adapt accordingly. That is from the good ways and etiquettes and methodologies of a teacher that is successful. So when the Companions was saying this, they meant a good meeting, the Jews of Medina would come and they would say exactly the same thing to the prophets of Allah while he was selling, but they would use the same word, because in the root of the

Arabic language, it has more than one meaning and their intention would be something which is evil. They would say Allah, you know, which mean which comes from the root word or Rorona. And will own a means someone who has a lack of integrity, someone who doesn't have upstanding character, so when they would say right, you know, they would say, as if they're saying and accusing the prophets of Allah, why do you sell him of having no integrity?

Having no good character of not being a person of of moral worth, this is the claim an accusation that they're making. But they're saying the same word. Just as we have in the hadith of Buhari and other than a Buhari, very shallow, the Allahu anha. There's some times when some of the Jews would come to the prophets on Allah while he was sent him in Medina, they would say to him a somewhat Alikum not a Salam, but rather Assam without the lamb as salam means May peace be upon you, as Sam means may poison be upon you. And so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was simply reply to you and say, what are they coming upon you as well? And as you said to Irish about the Allahu Allah,

Allah will answer my dua He will not answer their donors. So they would take words and they would manipulate them to change them as we know, already. We have read an example of this in Surah Al Baqarah. In the previous episode, when Allah subhanaw taala were told, were commanded Benissa ILA when they entered the promised land, they should say hit BA, O Allah forgive our sins, and instead they changed it to the word with a known hindpaw which means barley or wheat. And so they would do this they would manipulate the commands of Allah subhana wa Tada. Allah azza wa jal is seeing the same thing here, that they're seeing exactly the same thing as the Companions. The Companions means

something which is correct. These people have an intention which is evil. So Allah azza wa jal says, Don't say this, don't open this door for them, that they will use it as a means of mocking and ridiculing the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam rather say order on Messenger of Allah Wait, be gentle. Take your time with us what smell and listen to him. What did caffeine are that one Aleem? And for those who are disbelievers, atonement awaits them. Allah azza wa jal has given this command to the believers and there is an important command. And that is the from the ways of the people of Eman is that we unlike those nations that came before us, we don't try to manipulate and change. We

don't try to twist the Shediac to suit our own needs and our desires. We don't look and try to find ways to manipulate rules and laws and legislation, the halal and haram because it doesn't suit our needs or the time that we live in or the environment that we reside in. We're not like those people who will use a word with an intention that is evil, even though the meaning of the word should be something which is correct. So we're not going to come to something which is haram and and packaged in a way that makes it seem Halal towards others, and try to fool people in doing so. All of these things. Allah subhanaw taala has flagged as prohibited. And that is because it is a form of rich of

treachery of cheating. It is a form of being of having no integrity of being dishonest and untruthful. And so the Allah subhanaw taala warns the believers against this. And the final verse on this page verse number 105. Allah subhanaw taala says, Maya don't let the NACA fall roaming until Kitabi waddle Mushnik in unison Alikum a. Xena rd caminho uremia Rob become wala who Dr. Sonia Rama te me. Asha Walla, hold on fundamental are we, neither those people of the Book who disbelieve nor the people of shook the polytheists would like anything good to be sent down to you from your Lord. But Allah chooses for His grace whomsoever He wills, and his bounty has no limits.

Allah azza wa jal says that the people of iman are the sort of the people of the scriptures who came before you,

from the people of the Jews and the Christians, the People of the Scripture, and likewise, the Mushrikeen, the disbelievers, the polytheists, of Arabia, the Quraysh, and others who disbelieved in the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam from the Mushnik in both of those groups would love that no revelation came down to you, they would prefer that you never received revelation, that people have the scripture for their own reasons. And that is because they wanted the prophet to come from amongst them. They wanted that exclusivity. They wanted that claim that they wouldn't be the ones that are chosen by Allah subhanaw taala, preferred by Allah azza wa jal, because of their own

arrogance and issues that we've mentioned in previous episodes, and likewise, the Mushrikeen the likes of coalition, others also didn't want that revelation to come to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for their own interests and motives that they wanted that prestige and that power and that leadership and that authority, they had their own arrogance that they were, that they were embedded in, that they were engaged within. And so because of that both of those group groups would rather much prefer that the prophets of Allah what He was saying and wasn't chosen to be the Prophet of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada and Allah azza wa jal, the same as he says elsewhere in the Quran, Allah Who

animal hastily.

Allah knows best, where to place his message. Doesn't Allah know who is more worthy of being His Prophet and his messenger? Doesn't Allah know who is more worthy of receiving the revelation? And that is why as Abdullah and Mr. Ravi Allahu unsaid that Allah subhanaw taala when he created creation, he looked at the hearts of all of creation, and He chose the best and the purest of those hearts, the noble

Have them to be the heart of his messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa salam. And so Allah azza wa jal knows best, where to place his his revelation, but the Jews and the Christians and the maastrichtian and those people who opposed the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam during his lifetime, they disliked that he should be the one chosen over and above them. And Allah subhanaw taala responds and he says, When Allahu Akbar Sobey rahmati Mejia SHA, Allah azza wa jal gives and prefers his bounty, His grace, His mercy, to whomsoever he wants. Allah is the One Who makes that choice. No one has the right to demand profited. No one has the right to come and say, Oh Allah give

me revelation. No one has the right to say that he's more worthy than him or she is more worthy than her. It is up to Allah subhanaw taala and Allah azza wa jal does so based upon his infinite wisdom, and knowledge Olivia Rola wala who will fall in love him and Allah azza wa jal has a bounty that is limitless. And Allah subhanaw taala from the greatest of His bounties upon us is that he made us from the Ummah, of the prophets of Allah, Allah he will send him from the greatest of His Bounty is upon us is that he gave to us the revelation of the Quran, this miracle of his that will continue to stay with us, Antonio monta Yama in which we can find light and guidance, and we can find the way to

Allah subhanaw taala and the path that leads to success in this life and the next. And so Allah azza wa jal as we can see within these verses that we've studied today, and that we meet the fear of Allah subhanaw taala speaks about the importance of holding on to revelation of understanding the true essence of revelation what it is that has been cultured and to stay away from manipulating or changing the religion, or to have any arrogance in that regard. May Allah subhanaw taala give us the humility and the submission that we should have as servants of Allah subhanaw taala and as people who follow his charity and his religion BarakAllahu Li was summoned
