early he was VP engineering a madman Welcome to another episode of our our to see program page by
page and inshallah to Allah today we are on page number 21 which is the final page of the first
jewels of the Quran Surah Baqarah. Allah subhanaw taala in the previous couple of episodes, Allah
		

			azza wa jal had not started speaking about the Prophet Ibrahim Ali salatu salam, as well as some of
his descendants, like you smile, and like it's happening. Oh Balikian salatu salam, and Allah azza
wa jal is still continuing on within that same type of theme or that same, that same topic of
discussing these prophets and what their beliefs were in terms of the Eman and Allah subhanaw taala
alone and worshiping Him alone, what they called to then subsequently their people, that they call
them to that very aspect of their head, and how those who came after them who lay claim to them was
quite themselves as being followers of them. Because it's not just the Muslims who believe in these
		

			prophets and claim to follow them. It is others as well, the Jews and the Christians and others.
Allah subhanaw taala shows the difference between what the late two Jews and Christians were upon in
terms of their belief, and how that is different and distinct from the Eman and the way of the
prophets and messengers who came before.
		

			Allah subhanaw taala in verse 135, he says subhanaw taala I will be letting the shape on a regime
were called who then Oh NESARA do BonBon militare Ibrahim Hanifa wanna Can I mean as much shrinking?
They say become Jews are questions and you will be rightly guided. Say to them no, four hours is the
religion of Ibrahim upright, who do not worship anyone other than Allah Subhana Allah Tada. Allah
azza wa jal says that they clean or that they make the assertion that unless you are Jewish or
Christian, you will never be eradicated. The Jews and the Christians both of them accept the
prophets and messengers of Allah Azza wa salatu salam that we as Muslims also believe in the names
		

			of those prophets and messengers that were being that were mentioned in the previous couple of
episodes. Ibrahim ARIA salatu salam and Sumerian and this happened yeah goob and use of and all of
these prophets of Allah Allahu wa salatu salam. Their claim, though that you have to be from their
religion in order to be rightly guided Allah subhanaw taala refutes this, because actually what they
are upon in terms of their religion is not what those prophets of Allah Arnim salatu salam ala upon
those prophets of Allah call to the to heed of Allah subhanaw taala as we mentioned in the previous
episode, in the last episode, that Jagow Valley salatu salam asked his children at the time of his
		

			death, what will you worship after me? And his children replied and they said, We will worship your
Lord and the Lord of your forefathers who came before you Ibrahim is married, and his heart out to
him salatu salam. And so Allah azza wa jal is saying that you say to people, you have to either
follow Judaism or Christianity in order to be guided. Allah azza wa jal says no, rather say Bill Me
Later Ibrahim Hanifa or that will be followed is the religion of Ibrahim alayhi salatu salam. Hanif
is the one who turns meaning he turns away from shirk and from disbelief and he tends towards the
monotheism of Allah subhanaw taala his worship alone. And Allah azza wa jal says that we follow the
		

			upright religion of Ibrahim alayhi salatu salam, because all of these religions claim to follow
Ibrahim, they all identify themselves as Abrahamic faiths, meaning that they all go back to the
tradition of Ibrahim Ali salatu salam O Allah azza wa jal says here, that the true tradition of
Ibrahim is that he was Hanif, someone who worshipped Allah alone, one that can I mean, Mushrikeen
and he was not from amongst those who are associated others in the worship of Allah subhanaw taala
in the following verse 136, Allah azza wa jal dimensioned this with more clarity with more detail,
Allah subhanaw taala emphasizes this further, and he says, All Nabila he will not wounds, you know,
		

			Elaine wounds, you know, you know, Ibrahim, I want you to smile you wanna
		

			eat Brahim? I want you smile. Isla is Hakka boo boo.
		

			Well as balcony warmer will do Musa warmer otium also our isa Odeon maybe you wanna mill Rob be him
learn or Federico main I had the minuman Angela homes the moon.
		

			Rather you say Allah azza wa jal commands, you say Buno. You say, Oh Allah subhanaw taala tells us
that this is the claim that D make, that you have to be Jewish or Christian in order to be guided.
Allah subhanaw taala now commands us as the believers, the followers of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam to declare the true statement of the hate, and the true statement of Eman and it's
true concept and what it denotes and what it how it is defined. Allah subhanaw taala says, You see,
and that seeing on the tongue must be therefore also in agreement with what is in the heart, the
belief of the heart. And so when you have the statement of the tongue, which matches the statement
		

			and the actions of the heart, then you have a man, Allah subhanaw taala that says, say to them, and
in this statement, or this command of Allah azza wa jal to openly state is also a sign that we
should be proud of our iman, that Allah azza wa jal toes tells us to publicly proclaim to publicly
state our Imam and what it is that we believe in. So the Muslim should never be shy. The Muslim
should never hide the Muslim should never feel that they can't speak about what it is that they
believe in. Because Allah azza wa jal not only wants us to have this Iman, he wants us to spread
this Eman to others as well. And to call others to that very imagine that Allah azza wa jal has
		

			endowed us and blessed us with Allah subhanaw taala says therefore see, and Nabila, we believe in
Allah subhanaw taala meaning as I will Lord, the one who Allah has the right to be worshipped, that
he is unique, subhanaw taala and perfect in every way, that Allah azza wa jal is unique in His
Lordship and in His worship and in His names, and its attributes subhanho wa Taala
		

			and Billa woman Xena, Elena, and that which was sent down to us we believe in meaning that
everything that Allah azza wa jal gave to us by way of Revelation, either in the Quran, what the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us in his sunnah because that too is revelation, as Allah
azza wa jal mentions in Surah najem that the prophets of Allah don't speak from their own desires,
what they say and they command in terms of religion, that is, revelation from Allah subhanaw taala.
So we believe in Allah azza wa jal, and we believe in all of the revelation in the Quran, in the
Sunnah in the commands of Allah in the stories that Allah has related in what Allah azza wa jal has
		

			told us to do stay away from in the path that will lead us to Allah and the path that will distance
us from ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada and Allah azza wa jal mentions in elsewhere in the Quran that Allah
azza wa jal revealed to us the Kitab and the hikma, the book and the Wisdom, the book being the
Quran and the wisdom being the wisdom of the Sharia, or the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, Allah azza wa jal then goes on to clarify a woman, Xena Illa Ibrahim. And we also believe
in that which was revealed to Ibrahim and this marine and his heart and Yaqoob. And the tribes
meaning the tribes that came from from Yaqoob Alexander tribes have been slightly warmer all to Musa
		

			Issa, and that which was revealed to Moses and to Jesus. And this is what distinguishes us from the
other religions. They accept prophets only up to a certain level, they believe in all of the
prophets up until a certain level, whereas we, the people of Islam, believe in all of the messengers
and prophets of Allah, from the time of Adam and Eve salatu salam, all the way up to our Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And so we believe in all of these prophets, because every single one of
those prophets called the heat of Allah subhanaw taala, and every single one of them in their own
time and in their place, they call to that which Allah azza wa jal commanded them to call you. And
		

			so we believe in all of that, in general terms, we accept all of those prophets and believe in them
and that they were true, chosen messengers of Allah, that call to the to heed of Allah subhanaw
taala. But with every one of those prophets and messengers, there are people who came after them,
manipulated their religion, twisted their teachings, chose to ignore certain elements of their
message, and so on and so forth, until the pristine Dawa and Paul that they will send you it was no
longer in tact. But then the Prophet SAW Allah what He was sending was sent with a message that
would last and the large soldier has preserved until human piano and its preservation is seen
		

			through the Quran, and in the way that many memorize it and read it and study it. And it is seen in
the preservation of the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and that is why Allah
azza wa jal then says well, my OT and maybe your number Robbie him. And we believe in all of that
which the prophets were given by the Lord, every single prophet what they received in terms of
revelation in terms of the rulings of the Sharia, because we know that all of the prophets agreed on
the central concepts of Islam, the concepts that we believe in after heathen worshipping Allah azza
wa jal alone and so on and so forth seeking salvation through good deeds and and what have you, but
		

			There will be differences between the minutiae of the smaller rulings, if you like, of the
respective laws and systems and shadows. And so therefore, the laws of the Prophet Musa may not
necessarily be the same as the laws of the Prophet Risa. And what the prophets Musa reads about may
not be the same as what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam had in terms of his laws, Allah azza
wa jal changes some of those concepts from generation to generation from time and place to time and
place. However, the general overarching principle of Islam, the general aspect and the broad arc of
believing in Allah azza wa jal and Eman those aspects, that is something which all of the prophets
		

			of Allah agreed upon. And that is why Allah azza wa jal instructs, instructs us to say, learn,
fulfill, obey. Now I had the minimum, we do not distinguish between any of the prophets of Allah, we
don't make any distinctions. And the prophets of Allah Allah He was telling me in a number of Hadith
told the Companions not to give preference to one prophet over another, not to give favor to one
over another, even though we know that the different prophets of Allah have levels and that our
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the greatest of them. But the type of distinguishing that
type of giving one favor or preference over another should not be done in a way, by way of arrogance
		

			shouldn't be done in a way that demeans in any way or belittles the status of any of the prophets of
Allah subhanaw taala because all of them are sevens that Allah chose. All of them are servants that
Allah azza wa jal loves and that Allah has honored and that Allah subhanaw taala has granted them
the status that is the highest status amongst humankind, and that is the status of prophethood. And
so Allah azza wa jal commanded us not to distinguish between them in that way. However, we can say,
for example, that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the greatest of the prophets of Allah,
the owners of those five messengers that Allah chose to be the prophets of high determination of
		

			high distinction, they have a station over the others, it is permissible to make those distinctions,
but not in a way that makes us belittle or in any way demean the status of the prophets of Allah
azza wa jal
		

			brother we says Allah subhanaw taala commands us here, when Lulu who was New Moon, when Angela homes
the new we devote ourselves to Him, meaning to Allah subhanaw taala alone. And Allah azza wa jal
therefore shows in this verse, that this is the man of the believers, that everything that Allah
sent down to his prophets came from him. We believe in Allah azza wa jal and everything that he
revealed, in general terms because we don't know the specific details of what Allah revealed to
Sumerian or to Salim and or to, for example, in risotto, all of those prophets of Allah azza wa jal,
the names and the general concepts we're familiar with, but the individual details we don't know.
		

			But we have a general Eman in everything that Allah azza wa jal has mentioned to us by way of the
Quran and the Sunnah. However, when it comes to our prophets of Allah, who Allah wa salam, then we
know the details, because it is established in the Quran, it is mentioned clearly in the Sunnah of
the Prophet sallahu alayhi wa salam. And so therefore we believe in this, this is the difference
between the people of Islam and the religions of those who came before us. So the practices and ways
of those who came before us from the past nations, from the people of the book and the Scripture and
so on. Allah subhanaw taala tells us and commands us to make this statement, this is Iman, if you
		

			accept this, then you have believed, whether whatever you call the labels and the terms and love
themselves, are secondary, because the person can claim to be Muslim as we know as Allah azza wa jal
mentions concerning the hypocrites, but in reality, they are disbelievers. And at the same time, a
person may not know the term of Islam. They may not know what it is, in terms of the name, but they
believe in all of it in all of how often do we come across non Muslims and when you speak to them,
we find that they actually believe in Allah azza wa jal when he's right to be worshipped on all of
the prophets and messengers and so on. They just haven't been able to find the name that fits to
		

			their belief system that they have already adopted. And so Allah azza wa jal says, this is the way
that the believers are this is the statement of Eman that each and every single one of us should
hold on to and believe in. And therefore Allah azza wa jal continues in verse 137. And he says
subhanaw taala for in an OB myth NEMA to behave according to the
		

			devil over in NEMA home fishing Koco first aid fika home Allah wa who was semi rely on him. So if
they believe like you do, they will also be rightly guided meaning and when they say that we believe
or they say that you will be have salvation or that you will have success or that you will be saved
from Allah's punishment if you become Jewish, or Christian or whatever. Say this is the true
definition of Eman, the one that we mentioned in verse 136. If you believe like we believe, then you
too will be rightly guided believe in Allah and his right to be worshipped alone. Believe in all of
the prophets and messengers of Allah, including our Prophet sallallahu
		

			Regal Cinema, believe and accept all of the revelation of Allah subhanaw taala including the Quran,
the book of Allah azza wa jal, his final revelation to mankind, you accept all of these principles,
then there is no problem, we have no differences, there are no issues. And so then you have been
rightly guided. And so therefore guidance as Allah azza wa jal therefore is mentioning is what it is
when you have knowledge and action, you have the knowledge and the belief system and you are willing
to act upon it in terms of your actions in terms of where you take your your guidance from in terms
of the worship that you're going to perform an order is done in accordance with, however, Allah azza
		

			wa jal then says we're interval low, but if you turn away, if you show us your backs, for in NEMA,
who Vichy o'clock, then they will be entrenched in opposition. And therefore opposition to Allah
subhanaw taala is when you have no knowledge. If knowledge is guidance, knowledge and action is
guidance, then it's opposite is ignorance. And that ignorance or the opposite of guidance in this,
in this context is misguided or being in opposition to Allah azza wa jal, and that being an
opposition is when you have ignorance of your religion, or you don't have the action to go with the
knowledge that you have, meaning that you choose to ignore the knowledge that you have and the truth
		

			that you understand. And that is when Allah subhanaw taala says, and if that is the case, if that is
how they will behave, if that is how they will be, then Allah will protect you from them, plus a fee
to whom Allah, Allah will suffice you from them. Well, who was sent me on it? And Allah azza wa jal
is all hearing all knowing, Allah hears everything that they do. And Allah subhanaw taala is well
aware of all of their voices, and all of the statements that are untrue and all of their the
statements that they make that go and oppose the religion of Allah subhanaw taala and the teachings
are one of the prophets and messengers, and He is all knowing subhanaw taala of that which they
		

			contain, and conceal in their hearts and that which they hide and intentions and that which they
wish to conceal from others. Allah azza wa jal then says in verse 138, Sibert Allah He woman said,
we'll meet Allah he's super well known nyrb doon, our life takes its color from Allah I mean, our
religion is the religion of Allah, and who gives a better color than Allah azza wa jal or a better
color of life or a better religion than the religion of Allah subhanaw taala the word Simcha in the
Arabic language is like a Daya colored dye. And the reason why the word similar is used is when you
have for example, water and you place a few drops of dye in it, it merges with that water until the
		

			color of the water becomes the color of the dye. So, if you have red colored dye, green color dye
blue color dye you please sit into water that is clear. But once it emerges, it mixes so thoroughly
with water that you can no longer separate the two you can no longer say this part is water that
part is died before they were distinct. One was in a small bottle and the other was in a for
example, a bucket one is water and the other is dark. Now that they have been mixed together they
become so immersed with one another, that it is no longer possible for you to to distinguish between
the two. This now is blue colored water or red colored water, it is dyed water that is the meaning
		

			of the word similar and that is one that says similar to Allah, the life or the color of our life is
taken from Allah azza wa jal meaning when Eman comes into your heart, this is how it should be
immersed within the heart, the way the dye mixes with water. That is how a man should be mixed
within our heart, so that we don't undistinguished we don't say no, that part of the religion I
liked. But this part of the region I don't really accept or find it difficult to accept. We don't be
from amongst those people who, when it's easy going, we go and we say yes, we're Muslims. But when
it's difficult, or when there's pressures, or when there's problems in society, whatever it may be,
		

			then we try to distance ourself from the religion and that's something which you see amongst many
Muslims. When things are good and easy, it's easy, but when things are hard, then you kind of
distance yourself from the religion of Allah subhanaw taala. That is not the way of the believer. We
don't get to choose the true believer doesn't because they believe in a large religion, and they
except Allah subhanaw taala with the heart completely and wholeheartedly, and they know therefore
that everything that Allah subhanaw taala has decreed, even if it brings difficulty and trial and
hardship, it is because Allah azza wa jal wants us to excel in terms of our deeds and reward and in
		

			terms of our station in the next life. woman asked I don't mean Allah He similar and so therefore,
what is the better color to take in terms of life? What is the better system of belief? What is the
better level of Eman to have than the the man or the religion of Allah subhana wa Tada. And so
therefore the heart is the place that is full of love for Allah azza wa jal and hoping Allah
subhanaw taala and trust in Allah azza wa jal as well as being the place where we feel Allah azza wa
jal is punishment and
		

			Fear Allah subhanho data is under and it's wrath and Allah azza wa jal says and therefore one
Hannula what are we doing? We are people that worship Him alone. This is our religion. We tend to
Allah azza wa jal in worship Allah subhanho wa Taala investments that unite Allah azza wa jal and
continues and he says, to have
		

			Jonah Villa he will who are of Buena whare buco Mallanna man Luna, wala Anna, a man who now welcome
Muhammad who commanded Nola whom have his own, say on Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, how can
you argue with us about Allah, when He is our Lord and your Lord, our deeds belong to us and yours
belong to you? We have devoted ourselves sincerely to him Subhana wa Tada. The word Hijjah that
Allah azza wa jal uses of this verse in verse 113, and cola to Ha Joon Anna, it is when you have
groups of people disputing or two people disputing one or more people one or more, one or more
persons on either side disputing with one another. And so they are disputing over what they are
		

			disputing over in this context. What is true Eman? What is true belief, who truly worships Allah
azza wa jal and follows the religion of Allah subhanaw taala. And so Allah azza wa jal instructs us
to say, how can you argue with this between us? How can we argue over this? Because it's not for me
to decide? What is the true worship of Allah? Or what is what constitutes original Allah azza wa
jal, just as there is not for you to decide that who decides it is Allah subhanaw taala and that is
why Allah azza wa jal told us to make the proclamation that this is the heat of Allah subhanaw taala
and the religion of Allah azza wa jal, you don't get to decide and we don't get to decide, it is
		

			Allah who decides, and so therefore, whoever follows the path of Allah azza wa jal has chosen to
follow the religion of Allah subhanaw taala. And whoever turns away from that path, whoever turns
away from the guidance, then they have chosen a path other than the path that leads to Allah subhana
wa Tada. Well, who are a boon our book needs our Lord and your Lord, one Under Armour, Luna welcome
mat, Amma LUCAM. And for us our our deeds and for you or your deeds, all of these religions, Islam,
Christianity, Judaism, all of them turn themselves as monotheistic religions, all of them will say
at some in some essence or form, that we believe in Allah Alone, that we worship one God alone. But
		

			the reality is when it comes to their practice that they have, as we know in Christianity, the
Trinity and in Judaism are the beliefs as well. That is where the problem occurs. And so Allah azza
wa jal tells us this is the distinction and the distinguishing factor between Islam and between
other religions when as soon as for us, we worship Allah azza wa jal in complete and full sincerity.
Allah will judge us for our deeds, he will judge you for your deeds. In verse 140, Allah subhanaw
taala then continues and he says deliver your order. I'm Topo Luna in Ibrahima is Mariela is
happening via Uber well as Belle Pokken. Who then owner Zara? Or are you claiming that Ibrahim is
		

			married? Is happy Yaqoob and the tribesmen the descendants of Iacob were Jews or Christians?
		

			To our level, I mean, ask them meaning the prophets of Allah why do you send them ask them? Who
knows better? You or Allah? So are you claiming therefore, if the way that you worship Allah is the
true chosen vision of Allah subhanaw taala you then claiming that all of these prophets of Allah,
why the Jews or Christians, that this was the way because if we say, for example, that Christianity
came with Jesus, so what about before Jesus, if Jesus came with his religion, and this is the way
that you have to accept now in order? What about before him? Well, they questions What about Ibrahim
and is married and his hack? What about Idris? What about all of these prophets, no hand Saleh and
		

			all of these prophets of Allah Arnim salatu salam, what were they? And the same goes for the with
the Jews. For us as Muslims, what will we say? We say that all of the Muslims, all of them for the
time of Adam Ali salaam, until the very last messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they were all Muslims, and all of them were given the name and the term
as Muslims is Allah azza wa jal mentioned concerning the number of them in the Quran musi this as we
progressed throughout the Quran, there are a number of the prophets of Allah, like Nora and others
would say concerning themselves, we are Muslims, they would openly call themselves Muslims. And so
		

			therefore, the statements their statements that they must have been Jews or Christians, Allah azza
wa jal is asking the question here, What about those prophets who came before Ibrahim is Mary is
happier than others? What about them? Will they also will they also, as you claim Jews or Christians
all unto me, Allah, who knows better? You
		

			You are Allah. Did Allah azza wa jal choose these prophets? Give them profited send to the messages
and revelation? Doesn't Allah azza wa jal know better what Ibrahim was? And is tomorrow? It was, and
it's happening Coleman the prophets of Allah Azza wa salatu salam, or do you claim to have this
knowledge of the Unseen that you that you yourself not witness? You weren't present at that time?
And that is why Allah azza wa jal then continues and he says, Woman of Lemoore mean men, Katha
mentioned had that and that will mean Allah. So who can be more oppressive than the one who hide a
testimony that they received from Allah azza wa jal? What is the testimony that they're hiding? It
		

			is the testimony that is found in all of the Scriptures, the Torah, in Jean the Quran, the role of
these prophets of Allah, called the worship of Allah subhanaw taala alone, and they call that every
single nation should believe in the prophets and messengers. And if amongst them at the time, the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was to emerge, that they should believe in Him and accept Him as
well. All of the prophets of Allah declared this to them that the time would soon come, or a time
would emerge upon this earth, when Allah azza wa jal would send his final messenger. And when that
final messenger came, that he must everyone must follow his way. And that's something which we know
		

			in our religion as well, because for my will believe, is that towards the end of time when the
Prophet reciting salatu salam descends, once again, he will judge a rule according to the Sharia of
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, not according to his own laws that he was sent with during
his time and he said, he will rather change or he will rather follow the Sharia and the laws of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam because that is the covenant that Allah took from one of those
prophets of Allah. When Allah Who behalf in in unmad time alone Allah says, He is not unmindful of
that which you do. And the final verse on this page, one 114 one it is a repetition of a list of
		

			Allah azza wa jal mentioned at the end of the last page, and that is the statement of Allah azza wa
jal Tilka. Mattoon cada harlot these are nations that have passed away the hammock so but whether
Comerica Saba tomb for them is that which they earned and for you is that which you earn what are
known as American men on and you will not be questioned concerning that which they did. Allah azza
wa jal repeats this again that if they insist, if they remain upon this and say, This is what we're
going to be upon, those nations have passed away. The people of Ibrahim and is married and Musa one
of them have passed away. And even if they stay upon this, they will be judged by Allah for their
		

			deeds, you will be judged according to what it is that you believe. And therefore, in terms of us as
Muslims, Allah azza wa jal will judge us according to what we do our belief, our Eman, our actions.
And so therefore, just as you won't be questioned about the nations before us, neither will we will
be held to account for the generations that came before us in terms of our parents and our
grandparents and others, Allah azza wa jal will judge us according to us, and you will not be asked
concerning the actions of others and with that we come to the end of this page and the end of the
first chapter of the Quran, by Allah's blessing and His mercy and ask Allah subhanaw taala that
		

			Allah azza wa jal gives us the understanding of the Quran and the ability to act upon its teachings
Baraka lofi come with Solomon now I'm gonna be
