Allahumma salli wa sallim wa barik ala Abdi Cora sadaqa Muhammad, what are the early he was r&b a
drummer in my band Welcome to another episode about the seed page by page and inshallah Tyler. Today
we are covering the 41st page of the Quran, which is also the final page of the second Jos Surah
Baqarah. In the previous episode, we had began the passage of the Quran in which Allah subhanaw
		

			taala mentioned to us the story of Baal lute and Janos and the Prophet of Allah with Ali Salatu was
Salam. And the story which in English or in biblical terms is famously known as the story of David
and Goliath is the story as we mentioned, of the people of Bani Israel who are going through a patch
in a period in the history in which they were being persecuted. And they will lose in a number of
battles and they were being oppressed. And so they asked from their prophet Allah azza wa jal had
anointed for them at that time, that he placed above them a king that would unite them and lead them
in war against the enemy who is Goliath and the Prophet of Allah at the time and Allah azza wa jal
		

			knows best for that prophet is His name is not mentioned in the Quran, he appointed for them a king
by the name of powerboat, and immediately they begin to dispute his appointment because our loot is
not from the relief is not from the nobility. He's not someone who's known for his wealth or for his
position amongst the society. And so they begin to dispute this, but the prophet tells them that
Allah azza wa jal has given them a number of signs to show that this man followed should be the king
and he is their rightful leader. The part of the story which is not the second half of the story
that inshallah Tada we begin with today is the period of the story of the puddle the story that
		

			deals with the actual battle itself. So in the previous episode, we spoke about the if you act, the
introduction, and the steps that took place before the actual battle, now we're speaking about the
battle itself. So Allah subhanaw taala says in Surah Al Baqarah, verse 249
		

			are all bIllahi min ash shaytaan the regime for them first to build you know the color in Allah MOBA
Teddy Colombina heading feminine Shelley Berman, who follies I mean, the feminine Shani Berman
overlays I mean, the woman lamb Nakahara MUFA, in whom in Tara Fattah Mir, the fishery boom in who
Illa upon Isla Minam Bobrick this verse time because it is a long verse, Allah subhana Derrida says
in verse 249, when Paul wrote, who is the king that people have been instructed had appointed over
them. When Todd would set out with his forces, he said to his people, meaning his army, Allah will
test you with a river. Anyone who drinks form it will not belong with me. But anyone who refrains
		

			from tasting it will belong with me, if He scoops up just one handful, but they all drank from it
except for a few. So Allah subhanaw taala is seeing the pollutes, etc, this army going towards
Goliath or jackboot, as is known in the Quran. And by Lord says to his army, his soldiers and you
can imagine walking in the heat in the desert walking towards your enemy, the weapon and the armor
that you carry in is something which is tiring, something which causes the person to have fatigue,
and something which causes the person to be dehydrated that they need to drink, and they need to
success students. The Prophet oh this king pollute, he said to his troops, Allah azza wa jal is
		

			going to test you now with a river that will come a river where you can take water and drink from
it. But the test is that you refrain from drinking from the water, whosoever drinks from it is not
from me, meaning that the camera company can't accompany me in terms of the army. I won't allow him
to be part of my army. And this is a test from Allah subhanaw taala. And it is a test that we see
played out in many different ways in the dunya how often, we as Muslims need to stay away from
temptations from the dominance of the dunya from the things that are pleasing to our soul and our
heart. But we know that Allah azza wa jal is displeased with those things, and we should refrain
		

			from them. This test is something which we all have to face in our lives. And so when you refrain
from that which Allah azza wa jal is displeased with a new seek that which Allah azza wa jal is
pleased with that is something which is beloved to Allah subhana wa Tada. But if you're constantly
someone who's looking to find ways of second
		

			venting the loss of Allah azza wa jal, the boundaries that Allah subhanaw taala has set then that is
a sign of a lack of Eman or a weakness of Eman. So God says to his troops, I know you're thirsty, I
know you're hungry. We're going to come across a river, that river Allah azza wa jal is pleased for
you as a test, meaning that river that we come across will be a test for you, because the temptation
is for you to go on to drink to fill. But one of the tests that I have placed for you or that Allah
azza wa jal is placing for you is that you cannot drink from it except for a handful. Whosoever
drinks from it is not from me, and whoever does not drink from it, except for a handful, then he is
		

			from my army, because he wants to test their discipline, their steadfastness, their patience,
they're willing to sacrifice for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala. These are the traits that
therefore will be needed in order for them to be able to overcome the army of Goliath. And this is
something which you see, in all of the armies of the Muslims, for example, that we have in our
Ceylon, the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, one of the armies during his lifetime,
the Companions, the battles that they fought, in which they were victorious. They had these types of
characteristics and traits and attributes within them the companions or the Allah who are in which
		

			many people have patience, people have steadfastness. People have trust in Allah subhanaw taala
people willing to sacrifice their luxury their lives, their wealth for the sake of Allah subhana wa
Tada and Sao Paulo is saying something very similar. He is saying that you need to be people who are
willing and able to ward off temptation, and that is that patience and steadfastness that will give
you the ability to have victory by Allah's permission. However, as Allah azza wa jal says, Fischer
the Boomin, who in the Kadena minimum, the vast majority of them could not resist that temptation.
The vast majority of them went and they drank to their face, even though they were allowed to take a
		

			handful or two, just to sustain themselves, the vast majority of them drank and drank and drank it
Allah kalila minimum, except as Allah azza wa jal says, for a few from amongst them. So Allah
subhanaw taala continues, and he says, for them, Joe was the who I will live in, men will marry who
called Lulu cotton and Leah will maybe Giroud diverge will know who they are.
		

			He says subhanaw taala. And when he crossed it with those who had kept faith, they said, We have no
strength today against Goliath, and his warriors. So once they had passed by the river, so we have
now the army of pollute split into two, the vast majority of those who disobeyed this command, who
couldn't withstand the temptation who couldn't resist. And so those people are now Simon from the
army, they are no longer allowed or given permission to continue with the army. And then you have
the minority, the few who were steadfast who obeyed the command of power Lord, who took only from
the river, that handful that was permitted for them, and they are the ones that are proceeding. Once
		

			they have proceeded. They said, Who are those that said, the scholars have to see defer, some of
them said that it is group number one, the majority you stay behind? Another said no, it is the
second group that minority that are still accompanying followed, on the festive seal, that it is the
majority, they're the ones speaking about it, then it is as if Allah azza wa jal is affirming the
very reason that they weren't allowed to accompany the army. And that is because they had the
weakness of iman, they're looking at things like the numbers. They're looking at things like the
power and the strength of the warriors of Goliath and Goliath himself and the army that he
		

			possesses. They're looking at the, if you like, the physical things and the materialistic things
before them, and they're making a judgment according to that, whereas what Allah subhanaw taala
wants to believe as always, to do first and foremost is to trust in Allah subhanaw taala. To know
that Allah azza wa jal is the one who decrees victory and defeat, that Allah subhanaw taala can
cause a suitable person to overcome a vast army, let alone a few 100 people overcoming an army that
may be just double or triple their number. And isn't this something which we see within our own sera
in the life of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the Battle of buds is one of the greatest
		

			examples in our history of a smaller group of people who are strong in Eman have that faith in Allah
azza wa jal overcoming an army that was probably tripled their science much larger in terms of
numbers, but Allah subhanaw taala gave them victory because of the Eman and because of their belief
in Allah subhanaw taala and Allah azza wa jal makes them steadfast and firm. And then as we know,
for example, in the Battle of whether Allah subhanaw taala sent angels, armies of angels forth, that
would go and assist the believers on that day. So this is therefore if it's the first group of
people that are seeing this that we have no power to withstand. Goliath and his warriors, its army,
		

			that is to go to affirm, it goes to affirm the weakness of the matter of those people in the very
reason why they were told to separate themselves from the army. According to the second half zero on
some of the scholars and commentators of the Quran, that is referring to those people who are the
menorah
		

			But he was still accompanying polluting the army. So then from those people who did have discipline,
who did have Eman, who did have one of those things, and Allah subhanaw taala is then relaying a
statement of this perhaps and Allah knows best, then it is a sign that even the greatest people of
Eman can sometimes have moments of doubt, they can sometimes have moments of doubt. And that is
because these people when they see and it is natural is the natural response, that when you see an
army that is far greater in number seems to be far more strong and powerful in terms of what it
possesses of weapons and armor, then it is a very natural reaction to think that you are if you like
		

			the underdogs, you are the ones who are for example in the minority, therefore you are most likely
the ones to be of a weaker state in that particular battle. That is a natural reaction. But then
your Eman overcomes you then your Eman overtakes you believe in Allah azza wa jal certainty and
you're talking and Allah subhanaw taala overcomes and so therefore, it is permissible it is natural
to have certain feelings, certain emotions, certain thoughts, that and that is natural because she
upon comes to people and he makes those whispers and it is the way that people think naturally as
well. And that is why Allah azza wa jal then goes on to say however, those people became steadfast
		

			and firm if it is according to that second position of the sea.
		

			And Allah subhanaw taala says Bala levena alone No no, no whom Mala Mala he can mean if he Cadila in
order but we had Cathy rotten be evening. Wala humara saw median
		

			he says subhanaw taala but those who knew that they were going to meet the Lord, meaning those who
have certainty that Allah azza wa jal you will meet him one day or another that death will come. And
if this is the day that Allah azza wa jal has decreed for me to die, then I will die and there is
nothing that can save me or protect me, even if I had millions of people on my side. And if Allah
azza wa jal decrees around the state I will not die, I will not suffer defeat. I will not be from
amongst those people who are hurt or injured, then Allah azza wa jal will protect me. And there is
no power or force in the whole universe that can stand against me or stand before Me. Those who are
		

			certain of the meeting with Allah azza wa jal, Allah azza wa jal says that they said they remarked
when they had the statement of people saying we have no strength or power against Goliath, his
warriors, his army, they responded and they said, How often does a small force defeat a large army
with Allah's permission? How often is that the case that ALLAH SubhanA data allows the few to
overcome the majority. We see this throughout the Quran. In the stories of the prophets of the likes
of Ibrahim, Ali salaam, and Nora and hood and saw the unload Arima salatu. Salam, they are always
the minority in number when it comes to their nations and their people. They are always the ones who
		

			have even with the number that they have. Often they are those those people who are the week that
I'm trodden, the slaves, the people that no one looks at, and no one pays pays any attention to the
poor and the needy. And those are the people that often take the side of the prophets of Allah Azza
wa salatu salam as opposed to the rich and the powerful and the strong. And Allah subhanaw taala
over and over again in the Quran tells us that the reality is that Allah azza wa jal gives those
people victory, because there is Allah subhanaw taala controls everything in the heavens and the
earth. And even in the Sierra, our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when you look at how the
		

			Muslims began, so few in number, so weak when it comes to the the ability to to withstand the
oppression, and transmission of Galatians, the Arabs that came to attack them and to wipe them out.
But Allah subhanaw taala gave them power. And he gave them strength, the strength of Eman and over
time, they will be able to dominate those other tribes and other people of Arabia. And so Allah
subhanaw taala says here that those people of Yemen know that this is the reality. Look at the story
of Mousavi Islam that we've mentioned already in the Surah Surah Al Baqarah. How Allah subhanaw
taala mentioned that the people of many Israel were people who were constantly transgressed upon,
		

			they will people who will weaken people whose children were being killed the women folk allowed to
live but Allah subhanaw taala turned the tables upon Pharaoh and his armies, his nobility, and that
is the power that Allah azza wa jal possesses and that he uses as and when he pleases Subhan Allah
Tala these people have Eman. They understood this. How often does a small force defeat a much larger
army by Allah's permission? In bid Nila wala humara sabe routine and Allah azza wa jal is read those
who are steadfast and patient and that is why Allah subhanaw taala look at the link here that Allah
azza wa jal is with. He gives His divine aid and help to those people of patients, how it is linked
		

			to the beginning of this verse. When pollut says you must show patience, you must show self
discipline. You must show steadfastness because by doing so, then Allah subhanaw taala will be with
the people of those coins.
		

			Have teas, as opposed to those people who don't possess those qualities. Allah subhanaw taala then
continues in verse 250. And he says, Well, then, barazzutti Jalota you know the aircon? Rob banner
free Vitalina sabara what a bit about them and once Ornette Coleman cough caryophyllene And when
they met Goliath and his warriors they said meaning the believers said as they stood before Goliath
and all of his warriors, his mighty his army, they said, I will Lord pour patients upon us a free
Aileen Sabra, it is a beautiful turn of phrase in the book of Allah subhanaw taala a free Ralina
sobre o Allah por patients upon us with a bit of a data manner and make a stand firm one summer and
		

			an omen, caffeine and help us against the disbelievers. This is the drug that they make. And that is
the way of the believers that those times of calamity those times of hardship, those times of
extreme danger, they know that the only one that can save them is the Lord and Creator Subhana wa
Tada. So they spend their time in dua in the Quran, Allah azza wa jal in pleading and asking Allah
subhanaw taala for his help, as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did as we know in the Sierra
on the day of battle, before the battle commenced, he's they're raising his hands and instead he
raised them so high that the robe fell off his shoulders. And Abu Bakr Radi Allahu and came in, he
		

			picked it up, draped once again over the shoulders of our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and he
said, O Messenger of Allah, it is enough, enough dua for individual Lord will never forsake you. But
the point is that Allah azza wa jal, the prophet Salim is showing us that this is the
characteristics of the believers. The believers don't look at just things like numbers and weapons
and armor, those things just they play a role and you have to prepare yourself and preparations are
important. But ultimately, it is our Eman in Allah subhanaw taala no faith in Allah azza wa jal that
gives us that added strength. And so this is what the people have Giroud the people of Duluth
		

			understood that the army even though they few in number, they know that their victory is with Allah
azza wa jal Oh ALLAH poor patients upon us, make us stand firm and help us against these
disbelieving people.
		

			So the result Allah azza wa jal mentions in two 251 Verse 251, Allah subhanaw taala says, for his MO
home evening,
		

			we're PATA leather whoo Jalota hula hula Moon cavil. Hickmott our lemahieu Me mesh,
		

			Walla Walla, Walla, he nurse Amber about whom we barely left her said that
		

			kin Allah, Allah King Allah who fathered in Ireland, Ireland mean, Allah says and so with a loss
permission, the defeated them by loot and his army were victorious over Goliath and his army. And
God gave him and David killed Goliath, meaning the prophet that would Ali CERAM killed Goliath. And
Allah azza wa jal gave him meaning that would ally CERAM sovereignty and wisdom and taught him what
he pleased. If Allah azza wa jal did not drive some back by means of others, then the Earth would be
completely corrupt. But indeed Allah azza wa jal is bountiful Tuan. Allah subhanaw taala simply
says, For Huzar Moon evening Allah, they defeated them by Allah's permission. Allah subhanaw taala
		

			doesn't go into the detail doesn't tell us how the battle played out, doesn't give us a play by play
in terms of what took place and what didn't take place on what happened. He simply says Subhana wa
Tada. They will defeat it. And that is to show you the finality of Allah azza wa jal, its permit of
Allah subhanaw taala has commanded that when Allah azza wa jal wants something to take place, it
happens. Those people will feel a number that against Goliath a much larger, stronger army for the
moon, but they defeated them by Allah's permission, will Attila the Wu Jai route, and with Ali Salam
killed John Ruth dilute or Goliath that would destroy me, they said was a a an individual in the
		

			army of pollute. So he's a soldier from the soldiers in the army of bottled and that would really
slam at this point is not a prophet of Allah subhanaw taala and Allah knows best, but He is a
righteous believer in this army from amongst a few who remain steadfast and patient, and they
resisted the temptations of drinking from the river. He comes and he finds that he is face to face
in the army with Goliath. And so he kills him, how he kills him and in which man is something which
is found in many of the books of tafseer from various narrations. Not none of them are a Hadith of
the Prophet sallallahu sallam, but from various Judeo Christian and other trader traditions and
		

			statements of some of the scholars. Some of them said that he that he that he threw a stone or a
rock or a one of those small catapults that you hold in your hand in something like this that he
used and he struck juggled and he killed him. The point here is that Allah azza wa jal tells us that
it is the Woodbury Sarang who killed Goliath and based upon that Allah azza wa jal then gave to him
prophethood wisdom kingdom because they would Ali Salam is one of those prophets of Allah
		

			Oh, that was a prophet and a king. Some of the prophets of Allah azza wa jal will given kingdom,
they will kings alongside their prophet hoods and from them is this Father and His Son, that would
end sorry man Allah him salat wa salam, they were kings alongside being prophets of Allah subhana wa
Tada. So Allah azza wa jal says that we gave to him kingdom, and we gave to him wisdom. And we
taught from that which we pleased and you know, elsewhere in the Quran, Allah azza wa jal mentions
the stories of the Buddha and he ceramah the stories of his son, Solomon Ali salatu salam as well,
and from that which Allah azza wa jal gave in terms of the knowledge that was given to the Gudauri
		

			CERAM was the Psalms DE BOER, the revelation that was given to the ordinary salatu salam, and the
Psalms are one of the things that were that Islam was known for in the Quran and the sunnah of our
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, it seems very bad. He's a prophet of Allah, that was engaged in
worship known for his riba known for his fasting, known for his prayer, known for his dhikr of Allah
azza wa jal and his remembrance, they were people and his family, not just him, but his whole
household, as Allah subhanaw taala mentioned elsewhere in the Quran, and men who Allah that would
the chakra work or household of their would, in the gratitude of Allah, meaning worship Him. And
		

			then you worship Him in a sentence of narrations that you find in the books of Tafseer. Throughout
the day, and throughout the night, they engaged in the worship of Allah subhanaw taala there was
always someone in the household of the wood was worshipping Allah azza wa jal, at every point of the
day and the night and then Allah azza wa jal says, luckily, you don't mean any bad the shocker,
because how few of my servants are truly grateful that will that his son was known for his
recitation of the Psalms, and he was known to have an amazing voice, a beautiful voice that he would
recite the Psalms with and Allah azza wa jal made it easy for him in terms of his recitation of
		

			those verses will come inshallah Tada throughout the Quran, they will speak about different snippets
from the life of that will not only salatu salam and one of those aspects will be his worship and
his recitation of the revelation that Allah azza wa jal bestowed upon him. Allah subhanaw taala
concludes this verse by saying and murdering not that Allah azza wa jal drives some of you back by
means of others, then the Earth would have been full of corruption. Allah subhanaw taala it is from
his universal law. And it's from the Sunnah of Allah azza wa jal that people overcome others nations
conquer others, people who are today powerful will tomorrow become weak. And people who today will
		

			we call tomorrow become powerful. And anyone that studies the history of the world will see that
this is a cycle. Sometimes that cycle may last for centuries, for 1000 or more years, but eventually
you will end and then the one that looks at the history of the Egyptian empires and the Greek Empire
and the Roman Empire and the British Empire and all of these empires that have taken place
throughout the history and even today in our time. It is still a cycle that you see that as one
comes into ascendancy. Others descend into difficulty. And as those countries seek to come into
ascendancy, the one that was formerly in ascendancy becomes or falls into descendency. This is
		

			something which is a natural phenomenon that we see from in the world and that is because Allah azza
wa jal balances the way that people are in this way by his permission subhanaw taala. And Allah azza
wa jal is bountiful, as he says, subhanaw taala to all of his creation, the final verse of this page
and therefore this just Allah subhanaw taala concludes and he says Tilka to Allah, you know, through
her, they will have got well in Kerala, Amina Monson. These are the revelations of Allah which we
recite to you mean oh Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam with the truth and indeed you are one of the
messengers. Allah azza wa jal says that these are the verses of Allah that we recite to you we give
		

			to you with truth. How else would we know about the story of that would injured what David and
Goliath How else would we know for example, what took place in the life of Musashi Sanam are the
stories of Ibrahim and no, and hood and Sally Hunter Amon autonomous salatu salam, how else would we
know about the worship the worship of the woods or the great vast kingdom of Sunni man and he must
salatu salam, how else would we know all of these stories that Allah azza wa jal released was in the
Quran, what not that Allah subhanaw taala had revealed to us this book with all of the verses and
the guidance that it contains. And therefore it shows that these verses are verses of truth. And
		

			anything that is based upon truth is something which you should benefit from something which you
should take lessons from something which you should take and apply in the best way possible. And
then Allah azza wa jal concludes, and he says, we're in the Kerala middle mousseline, and you are
truly one of the messengers referring to obviously our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam, and with
that we come to the end of the second Jews and inshallah Tada. In our next episode, we begin with
the first page of the third Jews which is in surah, Al Baqarah, and inshallah Tada in that first
page, we also have the greatest verse of the Quran AYATUL kursi BarakAllahu li Walakum wa SallAllahu
		

			ala Nabina Muhammad Ali, he also be a drain
		

			Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Bismillah
