Hora sudo Mustafa Amin la Mussolini was sending Mubarak that article or pseudo Muhammad denwa he was
talking to hedge marine and bad. Welcome to another episode of our FCL page by page and inshallah to
Allah today we are on page number 52 of the Quran in surah earlier in one in the previous episode
Allah subhanaw taala mentioned to us towards the end of the episode that we did all those verses
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:37
			that we covered in the last episode, Allah subhanaw taala spoke about the morality of the dunya as
opposed to the Acura and therefore the way that the mindset of the believer should be as opposed to
the mindset of the disbeliever and that is this dunya has so many adornments so many trapping so
many beautiful locations that Allah azza wa jal has placed within it from wealth from property from
people and people sometimes were dear and close to us, of our children and other people who Allah
azza wa jal has please certain boundaries between us and them because they are members for example
of the opposite gender. And so all of these are different temptations that are found in the dunya.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:02:14
			All of these things a person can use for the most part in ways that are pleasing to Allah azza wa
jal. So a person can get married, a person can have children and and have those children raised in a
way that is pleasing to Allah azza wa jal, a person can have watched and spent in the way of Allah
subhanaw taala. A person can have property and other things and use those things in means and ways
that are pleasing to Allah azza wa jal, but Allah subhanaw taala says the ruler these things are
temporary. What is better than this is that a person focuses on the Acura and when you focus on the
Acura, then by default, you will do these things with the dunya that are pleasing to Allah azza wa
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:50
			jal, your wife, your family, you will use them in ways that are pleasing to Allah subhanaw taala
because your focus is already on the Acura as opposed to someone who's focusing so much on the
dunya. Then on the other occasion, they'll say, oh yes, we need to complete it, for example, or it's
Ramadan, let's read some Quran, or once in a lifetime they will go and perform Hajj. And so that's
because their focus is so diluted, that it is something which is a once in a while experience their
relationship with Allah subhanaw taala but someone who each and every single day is focused, they
have patience as Allah Azza dimensions in those attributes that we mentioned in the previous
		
00:02:50 --> 00:03:31
			episode. They have patience, they persevere the people who are devout the people who spend the
people who are making it still follow the truthful in their in their belief in Allah subhanaw taala
those are the people who are focused on the hero focused on pleasing Allah azza wa jal on building
their life in paradise and building their houses and the robots in Jannah. And so Allah subhana wa
Tada therefore blesses them in this life and in the next. In today's episode we'll begin with verse
number 18 And Allah subhana wa Tada mentions to us the crux of the matter and the most important
foundation of this religion and that is the heat Subhana wa Tada Allah azza wa jal says are all the
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:37
			bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim. Shahidullah. Who and Nola either in LA who are
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			eager to work
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			will only remain
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			in place for a
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			while as he is on Hakeem
		
00:03:49 --> 00:04:34
			Allah azza wa jal says that he bears witness the nun has the right to be worshipped except him as to
the angels and those who have no I will have knowledge. He upholds justice, there is no God worthy
of worship except him The Almighty Lord White's, Allah subhanaw taala in this verse II mentions the
most important issue that will help a person to focus their vision, focus their mind, focus what it
is that they want to work for in this life, and that is what they understand the statement of the
head of Allah subhanaw taala that the only reason why you are even in this dunya by Allah azza wa
jal created you while you were brought into existence, was to worship Allah subhanaw taala alone.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:59
			And that is such a simple issue. But it is something sometimes so difficult to understand, and so
difficult to be able to compute. Many of us understand this as Muslims, but still our world or our
dunya the way that dunya is deceives us and overcomes us so that we're so busy in the daily grind
that we often forget about what is the most simple and basic truths. Allah subhanaw taala didn't
place you on the dunya for you
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:39
			To become a millionaire, Allah has placed you in the dunya so that you could spend your life
building an empire or that you could achieve certain things in terms of your career. All of those
things are halal and possible. But the main reason that Allah azza wa jal please do in the dunya is
for his worship Allah subhanaw taala. So, if you forget that one simple reality, that one principle
that is more important than anything else, in terms of your existence in your life, and you focus on
those things that are less important, then you are losing your way, then you are not following the
path of Allah azza wa jal set down for you. So ALLAH SubhanA data says that Allah bears witness, the
		
00:05:39 --> 00:06:17
			angels bear witness, and all of the people bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped,
except Allah azza wa jal alone, Allah subhanaw taala chooses that himself Subhana wa Tada that Allah
bears witness. And alongside him Allah azza wa jal chooses the greatest of His creation, to bear
witness alongside him, and that is the angels of Allah subhanaw taala and we know that the angels of
Allah azza wa jal are the noblest of creatures that Allah subhanaw taala created for his obedience
and worship alone. And so Allah azza wa jal brings their testimony here also. And then the testimony
of the people of knowledge and the people of knowledge, at the head of those people of knowledge, no
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:55
			doubt, are the prophets and messengers of Allah, RB humans salatu salam, and then those who follow
them in their footsteps seeking knowledge, take from that inheritance. And this verse is one of the
verses that shows the status of scholarship in Islam, the status of knowledge, and seeking the
stomach of knowledge and the status of the people of knowledge in our religion, and that is that
Allah azza wa jal chose in this testimony, to have them alongside himself subhanaw taala and his
noble Angels, Allah azza wa jal could have sufficed by saying, Allah testifies and his angels are
Allah azza wa jal could have sufficed by saying that Allah justifies his angels, the prophets and
		
00:06:55 --> 00:07:21
			messengers and left it there, but Allah azza wa jal added and included the people of knowledge, and
the people of knowledge are those people who are teak who have taken from the inheritance of the
prophets of Allah as the Prophet told us and Allah, why do you send them that the prophets of Allah
do not leave behind as their inheritance gold or silver, but rather they leave behind as their
inheritance knowledge so ever takes from it has taken something which is a great share.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:58
			So when you seek knowledge, you learn about your religion, one of the greatest aspects of the
knowledge and that religion is to learn about your Lord subhanaw taala learning Allah azza wa jal
believed in Allah subhanaw taala and everything he compromised comprises of believing in all of the
different aspects of Eman, believing in the names of Allah and the attributes of Allah azza wa jal
and understanding them. All of this is something which brings you closer to Allah azza wa jal and
the greater that you are the closer you come to Allah azza wa jal, the greater your knowledge, the
greater your Eman, Allah subhanaw taala and inshallah the greater your focus and your ability to
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:39
			work in a way that is pleasing to Allah azza wa jal and that is why the scholars of Islam, from the
times of the companions or the Allah who don't know much remain, until our time today dedicated
their whole lives to studying this religion. We have stories in our tradition in our history of how
the companions and the scholars who follow them would travel, sometimes for months at a time, just
simply to learn and seek knowledge, no money, no family, no friends, alone, traveling, only to learn
the religion of Allah subhanaw taala some of the scholars of Islam left their homes, and they
traveled across the Muslim world of that time, the unknown Muslim man of that time, and it would
		
00:08:39 --> 00:09:16
			take them years before they were able to come back home, because they would go from one land to
another. And in each time, they were staying there for a number of months studying with the scholars
learning, writing, memorizing, then moving on to the next time because now it's easier to continue
going and closer than to go back home and start the journey. Again. This is a time when there's no
aeroplanes, no rush, no ships are very common. Most people are walking on the lawn camels on the run
donkeys or whatever they're on. It's a very primitive way of traveling. Very difficult and arduous
journeys in the heat of the desert, different terrains, different times different. And all of this
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:48
			simply to seek the knowledge of this religion, and then writing and authoring and codifying and
bringing all of that knowledge together and teaching it so that knowledge would continue to go from
one generation to another generation. And that is where Allah subhanaw taala honors the people of
knowledge in this religion. Allah azza wa jal lifts their status and raises them as Allah azza wa
jal says it says elsewhere in the Quran, you're offering level livina Iman hoomin QUB Well, Davina
Mandara Jack, Allah azza wa jal raises the levels of the people of Eman and the people of knowledge
amongst you in station.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:59
			Until Allah azza wa jal honors the people of knowledge here. The most important thing in our
religion is the statement of la ilaha illAllah. It is the crux and foundation of his
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:37
			that it is the message that every single prophet and messenger was sent with, and it is the very
cause of our Revelation And the reason for our existence. This statement of la ilaha illa Allah when
Allah azza wa jal wanted to emphasize its importance, Allah azza wa jal called a number of
witnesses. The first and greatest of those witnesses is himself Subhana wa Tada and that is
sufficient and enough, but Allah azza wa jal further emphasizes it with the angels and then open
noble status. And then Allah azza wa jal further emphasizes it with the pupil of knowledge. And that
is to show to us the importance of this knowledge of the heat of Allah subhanaw taala. And
		
00:10:37 --> 00:11:14
			therefore, from the unfortunate things in our time amongst many of our Muslim brothers and sisters,
and in our communities, is how lacks we have become, when it comes to the knowledge of tau hate when
it comes to studying Allah's rights and his worship, and our belief in Allah subhanaw taala and the
way that we should correct our belief when it comes to our religion, that is something which often
is now neglected in our communities, and is considered to be an archaic type of knowledge, or
something, which isn't very important. And instead, people focus on other aspects of Islamic
learning, such as character development, such as worship, such as, such as Hadith and so on, and no
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:49
			doubt without a doubt, that these are all extremely important and essential in terms of our
religion. But there was nothing more important and more essential than learning your belief in Allah
subhanaw taala. Then we just mentioned at the beginning of Surah, Al Imran, that those people who
don't understand the Quran correctly, will follow ambiguous verses, and they won't understand them
in the context of the clear verses. So in terms of their belief in terms of the names and attributes
of Allah azza wa jal, in terms of core aspects of their religion, they will be misguided. What's the
reason for that? One of the major reasons is because they have understood correctly, La ilaha
		
00:11:49 --> 00:12:10
			illallah, in terms of its full depth of meaning, and all of the different sciences and knowledge
that is associated with it. And so Allah azza wa jal here tells us to focus on the statement and
everything that he means. La ilaha illa. Who are these are Hakeem there is no God worthy of worship
except Allah. He is the almighty dollar wise.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:14
			In verse number 19, Allah subhanaw taala then continues and he says
		
00:12:15 --> 00:13:02
			in Medina, Allah he'll Islam will McDowell effing letting you know Oh Tony theta but in the Magia
humulene Mobley Amina or may yet fully be in LA Hiva in Allah has 70 year old he said, The True
Religion Allah's eyes is Islam. Those who were given the Scripture disagreed out of rivalry only
after they had been given knowledge. If anyone denies Allah's revelations, indeed Allah will take
them swiftly into account. Allah subhanaw taala says that the only the only religion in the sight of
Allah that is acceptable to Allah azza wa jal is Islam. And Islam is the religion that Allah azza wa
jal sent each and every single prophet and messenger with one of the common misconceptions that
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:39
			people have is Islam only started with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and yes, when we say
Islam, that's what we mean in our context and our understanding, because every everything else was
abrogated by the coming of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but we also believe that each
and every single prophet at that time with the true message that they were given by Allah azza wa
jal, they also call to Islam, and they also called the heat and they also called to La ilaha
illAllah. And that is why when Allah azza wa jal says in Medina and Allah in Islam, the true
religion in Allah's eyes is Islam. That doesn't discount Mousavi slamming his time or is it cinammon
		
00:13:39 --> 00:14:03
			his time? Or Ibrahim? It is cinnamon it's time oh no honey, he's ravenous time, or any of the other
prophets and messengers of Allah. Allahu wa salatu salam, all of the more Muslims all of them
followed Islam, and no doubt the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the greatest of messengers
and his revelation is the final of revelations. When bacteria for Lilina otter Kitab, Allah says But
those who were given the Scripture, disagreed
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:32
			in them embody didn't disagree until after the knowledge was given to them. Meaning once they saw
the truth, they had the signs they had that knowledge, they disagreed, and it is out of rivalry out
of jealousy, out of the fact that the prophets of Allah who he was sending Muslim from but he saw in
but rather he was sent from the Arabs and so on. When we're yet for me it Allah Allah says, and
whosoever this believes in the signs of Allah azza wa jal that Allah subhanaw taala will swiftly
hold them to account.
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:36
			In verse number 20, Allah azza wa jal and continues and says,
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			For enhanced
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:50
			geographical Islam towards you here in HumanIK Taliban only levena Alton Kitab I will Amin Aslam
tomb for industrial move, according
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:59
			to our Lofa in Canberra, wala who must be really bad. If they argue with you then say I have
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:38
			devoted myself to Allah alone. And so have my followers, as those who are given the Scripture as
well as those without one do to devote yourselves to him alone. If they do, they will be credited
but if they turn away, you're only duties to convey the message you need. Allah is all aware of his
servants. Allah subhanaw taala has been told here, that when you come to the People of the Scripture
and others, the Qureshi, the Arabs, the polytheists, and you discuss your religion, and you tell
them about Allah azza wa jal, and you establish the evidence and the proof upon them, then they will
dispute with you, and they will argue with you, and they will seek to cause this debate to manifest
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:51
			itself with you find her Joker, and if they do so for called Islam to watch here the law say that I
have devoted myself to Allah alone, when many Tibetans have and still have my followers.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:16:31
			And that is because Islam as we've said before, means to submit yourself to Allah azza wa jal, in
devotion, in worship in love in the heat. And so Allah azza wa jal says, and instructs the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that if they wish to dis disregard this religion, that you wish to deny
to reject the revelation of Allah azza wa jal and his signs and his messages and it's though he'd
been say to them as for me, my followers, we have submitted ourselves to Allah subhanaw taala and
then ask them the same thing. Have you truly submitted to Allah to worshiping Allah azza wa jal
alone, we're only living on Kitab see to the People of the Scripture will mean the Amina those who
		
00:16:31 --> 00:17:10
			don't have a scripture, like the Arabs and others who didn't have scriptures didn't have prophets
and messengers that was sent to them before they were like the Jews and the Christians and others.
They are known as El Amin meaning the unlettered ones, meaning the ones without a divine book and
scripture to read from. Have you also submitted yourselves to Allah azza wa jal find this level
Allah subhanaw taala says if they have submitted to the need of Allah, doubt that they have been
guided or interval low, but if they turned away, then you refuse they reject for in the medical
biller, then your duty is only to convey. Indeed Allah azza wa jal is well aware of that which they
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:47
			do. This was the reality of the prophets of Allah where it was sent him in his Dawa to the people of
his time his call to the Arabs of coloration that Arabs of Arabia in general, and then they turn to
the Jewish and Christian peoples and nations and tribes that lived in Arabia and beyond his core to
them was to submit themselves to Allah azza wa jal in the manner that Allah azza wa jal dictates
because everyone will say that we submit to Allah, we believe in Allah we believe in God. But it is
the way that Allah azza wa jal wants you to believe that determines whether that belief is correct
or not. And Allah azza wa jal has determined, as we mentioned, at the beginning of this episode, La
		
00:17:47 --> 00:18:15
			ilaha illa who that none should be worshipped except him subhanaw taala do you submit or do you not
those who submit to this have been guided, and those who refuse and reject that they are the ones
who have turned away and it is only the role of the prophets and messengers and those who follow
them to convey the message to tell them the importance of their heed to show them the path that they
need to follow? The actual act of acceptance or rejection is something which is down to them?
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			Allah subhanaw taala then says in verse 21,
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:25
			in the living unit for owner B area Tila he will go to noon and Nebby inability
		
00:18:26 --> 00:19:05
			to know the levena Morona Milaca streaming and nurse if a machine room forever she'll whom we are
there been any give news of agonizing torment to those who ignore Allah's revelations? Who had just
divided justifiably killed the prophets and who killed those who commanded justice is done. Allah
azza wa jal says that those who disbelieve those who reject those who turn away, they are the ones
who not only reject Allah azza wa jal and turn away from his science and his revelations, but they
are the ones who also kill the prophets and Medicare, as we know before, as we've mentioned before
that Allah azza wa jal mentions that amongst the previous nations were those who killed their own
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:41
			prophets and murdered them. And according to the scholars of Islam, the prophet security and yada
yada him ceremony examples of this, that they were killed and murdered by their own people. What a
heinous crime, not only to reject Allah azza wa jal, and to reject the message of Allah subhanaw
taala but then to kill the prophets and messengers that Allah azza wa jal sent, just as the Quraysh
tried to do on multiple occasions with our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they tried to
assassinate him, they tried to kill him. And that's because once they have disbelieved in Allah azza
wa jal, then everything else is something which they consider to be insignificant. Well, you have to
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:59
			learn the Lilina Morona stimula NAS and they killed those who command people to uphold justice,
meaning not only the prophets and messengers of Allah, but they follow us as well. They're killing
them. They're fighting them, they're being adversaries towards them. Give them the news that they
will have the worst of all punishments in the final verse.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:40
			In verse number 22 of the speech Allah Azza wa gendlin says, We can live in a heartbeat Dr. Armando
Humphrey dunya will not mean now Syrian, the deeds of such people will come to nothing in this world
and in the next no one will help them. Allah subhanaw taala will render all of the acts null and
void and that is because they lacked Eman and they did that which Allah azza wa jal prohibited and
they performed and committed the most evil of deeds and the most major of sins. Allah subhanaw taala
will cause all of the actions in this world to be nullified and therefore on the earth but they will
have nothing to their name and no one will come to the aid or to the help and with that, inshallah
