Allah Allah Allah who the who would actually Cara Illa hula what either one of you then we should win in the region and Muhammad Abdul Rasulullah Mustafa Al Amin, Allah Masami was sending MOBOTIX and Abdi Kota Sarika Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi Intermarine back. Welcome to another episode of Ltsc page by page and inshallah to Allah today, we are on page number 62, which is the first page of the fourth dose of the Quran surah two earlier in one. In the previous episode, we mentioned verses in which Allah
subhanaw taala speaks about the importance of following this religion, and that no religion other than the religion of Islam will be acceptable to Allah subhana wa Tada and that those people who know that this is the truth or who reject this as being the truth, or follow away other than the pastor was slammed, it will not be accepted from them. And unless they make Toba to Allah azza wa jal and repent to Allah subhanaw taala by accepting this religion, then they will have the curse of Allah azza wa jal upon them, and they will have the severe risk of punishments and comments, and no one will be able to come to the aid and help. In fact, Allah azza wa jal, as you remember told us,
that the people of disbelief once they die and leave this world would love to have the amount of gold that fills this world this earth to give it away in ransom in order to save themselves from the punishment of Allah subhanaw taala but that will be a wish and a dream that cannot and will not be fulfilled. In the final verse of the episode that we took last time, Allah azza wa jal then told us that for the believers, we should be people of sadaqa people who give for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala and that the best form and the highest form of piety, true piety and righteousness, is not only to give in sadaqa to give from the best of your water from the best of that which you which you
have
Today we begin with verse number 93 from Surah to earlier Imran and that is distinct of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada are all the bIllahi min a shape on the regime. could look army colonel. Hey, Lenny Benny is raw ILA in how Rama is raw, you know, I learned I've seen him in probably, tuna Zilla Tara, want to be thorough to know her in tune Saudi lien.
Except for what Israel made a lawful for himself. All food was lawful to the children of Israel, before the Torah was was revealed, say, Bring the Torah and read out the relevant passage if you are indeed telling the truth. Allah subhanaw taala in this particular verse, he mentions an issue that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam had with the Jews of Arabia, and that is that the Jewish people would come and they would say, we don't believe that you are a prophet and messenger of God. And one of the reasons why we don't believe that is because in our religion, we don't believe that a prophet can come and abrogate the rulings of a prophet that came before him. Because the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was coming with a different shittier to the Sharia or of Mousavi Salam. The Quran contains different rulings, to the rulings that they find in the Torah. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would seem to them that I am the last in the line of the messengers. And yes, Mousavi strand was a messenger of Allah and I was central Cole is one which though hate but in terms of rulings and karma, and so on and so forth. There are differences and changes, I have abrogated the laws of the Sharia of Musa Ali salatu salam, they would say no, that's not possible. We don't believe that a prophet if you're all from God, why would one prophet change? What is from
God to another prophet? And so this was their evidence for this. Allah subhanaw taala essentially refutes this here within this verse in Surah, to Allah Imran and he gives the example of Israel In Israel eel is another name for your Kubernetes salatu salam, the Prophet of Allah azza wa jal, so we know they are quote, was the son of the Prophet of Allah is Huck and the grandson of the Prophet of Allah Ibrahim alayhi wa salatu salam, the Jews and the Christians, the people of Israel in they trace the line of profits through the line of is happening or go. And so they go back to primary strength through your job and it's hark back to Brahim. Howdy salatu salam, yeah, kooberi CERAM in
the Quran is given two names. Number one is your group which is his actual name. And number two is the title that he was known by, and that is Surah II and it's really the set means. It is a not Arabic word, but it means is sort of means a covenant. an eel is the
A word for Allah azza wa jal or the name for God. So he was someone who entered into a covenant with God with Allah subhanaw taala. And so he was known as the slide we know they are kooberi Sara has a number of sons from those sons, you get the tribes of Israel, and that is why they are called the children of Israel, Bani Israel. Israel is being the Prophet jackalberry salatu salam. So here Allah azza wa jal says, except for Israel made unlawful for himself, Israel even made an offer for himself, meaning Yaqoob Ali Sanam made the lawful for himself. All food was brought forward to the children of Israel before the torah was revealed. So Allah is really saying that you're saying no
religion, there's no obligation, every prophet that comes, doesn't and cannot abrogate what came before them as prophets. You know, however, though, within your own Torah, that nothing was made haram for Bani Israel before the Torah, they could eat as they teased and what they pleased except for a few things that he saw it himself had made haram for himself, because in the sharing of your Kubernetes setup, it was permissible for a believer to make something haram for themselves and say, I'm going to stay away from this type of food for the sake of Allah azza wa jal is an act of worship. That's not allowed in Australia. You can't make something haram. You can choose not to eat
some stuff because you don't like it, or for health reasons when you prefer not to, but you can't make it haram because haram means by eating it, you're sinful, or if someone else eats it, they're sinful. We don't have that capacity. We can't say for example, chocolate is haram misdiagnose the Haram, I may choose not to eat it. I may not like chocolate. I may choose to forego chocolate. That's a personal preference, but we don't make it haram. However, in the shedding of Iacobelli snap it was permissible to do that as an act of worship. And so yeah, go buddy Sam. For a certain number of foods. He said they are haram for me. And that is why Allah azza wa jal says in llama haram,
Israel, Ido and NFC, except that which is wrong, it made unlawful for himself. So everything was allowed. Allah azza wa jal says min cuddly and tuna Zilla Torah. This was before the revelation of the Torah, because you know that once the torah was revealed, a number of things were made haram upon you. So we know for example, that the Jews are very strict in terms of their food rules, when it comes to things like kosher meat, and milk and dairy and so they're very strict when it comes to the structuring of the animals and so on, very strict. And so that's something which Allah azza wa jal revealed upon them in the Torah that changes abrogates the rulings before the Torah, from the
other prophets that they accept that they believe in because all of us believe in the Prophet jackalberry Salah to Assam. So Allah azza wa jal is saying that the very claim that you're making, which is leading you to reject the messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that's really claimed that abrogation cannot exist is something which you yourselves know can exist because you find it in your own revelation in the Torah. And that is why Allah azza wa jal Lin says In conclusion to this verse, only, to be talathi for to know her income from Saudi clean, say to them, bring the Torah and read out the relevant past passage, if you're telling the truth,
the towers before you, and that is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and a number of occasions when dealing with people of other religions of Scripture, he would say to them, bring your Scripture before you because even though there have been distortions and changes made therein, there is still a great deal of evidence that you they find Darren to show them what is the path, which is the truth and that is that they should follow Allah azza wa jal and the prophets of Allah who already he will send them and that is when the next verse Allah subhanaw taala then says
them and if Donna and Allah Hill Keddy by me Maggie daddy Kapha Hola, como la the moon. Those who persist in making applies and attributing them to Allah azza wa jal after this on the wrongdoers. So if you know now that it's possible that it happened, that it's something that you find within gnome scriptures, to continuously just say the same thing and be obstinate on it is something which shows that you are then insincere, that you're rejecting the truth that you're ascribing lies to Allah azza wa jal interregional of Allah subhanaw taala that your scribing lies to your own prophets and messengers are leaking masala to Sarah. And so Allah azza wa jal says that that is a sign of
oppression, oppression, arrogance as the prophet allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam arrogance is to reject the truth and look down upon others, because that is essentially what arrogance leads a person to do. It leads them to rejecting the truth. And so Allah azza wa jal says for men, if Tara and Allah and Carrie, you know now that it's possible, you know, that other messengers and prophets abrogated rulings because that is the shelter that Allah azza wa jal gave to respective Prophets and Messengers over time. Then why isn't that the case? When it comes to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and so therefore that is something which Allah azza wa jal refutes in these two verses, on
the in Surah, to Ali Imam, Allah subhanaw taala and then in verse number 95, he says
Old saw duckula factory Roman letter Ibrahim honey if a woman Academy little Mushrikeen say indeed Allah speaks the truth, so follow Ibrahim's religion. He had true faith, and he was never an idolatry. Ibrahim Ali Salam is the prophet as we said before the role of the people except the Jews, the Christians, the Muslims, we will accept that he was one of the greatest and mightiest of Allah's messengers are the Salatu was Salam. But the difference being is that we believe that Ibrahim Ali Salam only caught the hate, then a call to anything other than the worship of Allah azza wa jal. And so therefore, his religion is the pristine and true religion of worshipping Allah subhanaw taala of
Islam. And so that is why Allah azza wa jal says that you're claiming to follow these messengers and prophets before you, Ibrahim is Huck Yaqoob use of Irene salatu salam, all of these messengers and prophets from the generation from the time say, Allah has spoken the truth. Allah has told me the truth in this Quran. And Allah azza wa jal has told me the truth of the Scripture that came before in the Torah. So now follow the original Ibrahim, and be true followers of his religion Hanifa misnomer because he was a Muslim who never went astray or Muslim who never veered from the path and change or worship other than Allah subhana wa Tada WOMAD Canada maneuver sneaking he never committed
in his life. Allah azza wa jal in verse number 96. He then goes on to the the issue of the construction of the cabin and the building of the carbine. He says Subhana wa Tada in a wallaby eat you will the earning national levy be better mobile Rocco hudl Dillard I mean, the first house of worship to be established for people was the one Mecca it is a blessing place a source of guidance for all people. So Allah subhanaw taala after speaking about this, the fact that they rejected Ibrahim Ali salam ala reject the prophets of Allah while he will send him because of this issue of abrogation on them Allah subhanaw taala deals with Allah azza wa jal says Follow the original
Ibrahim Ali salaam Ibrahim and Islam has meno had two children, two sons is married and his Huck the barrister in chose the path of his heart and they followed that path. And that's because Allah azza wa jal sent amongst them as we know many prophets and messengers, however they ignored. The other lineage of Ibrahim Ali strangled other progeny and offspring of Ibrahim Ali salaam, from the line of his married ally, Sara. And so Allah azza wa jal is saying that this too, is from following the region of Ibrahim. And so you could follow his maridadi salatu salam meaning by accepting the prophethood of the messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa salam, and that too, would be a
combination of following in the footsteps of Ibrahim Ali salatu salam. And so Allah azza wa jal then tells them in this verse, something which is important for them, and that is that the first house of worship to be established for people was the one Mecca, it is a blessing place, a source of guidance for all people, meaning that what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is bringing is an extension of the message of Ibrahim and Islam in the sense that he's following in the same line, not that it's actually a one in the same. But I mean, what he's doing is, is bringing the same central message of the Torah of Allah subhanaw taala, you focused only on one offspring on one side of the
offspring of Ibrahim Ali salatu salam, but there was another line. And in fact, that line, in some ways is more virtuous, because the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is from that line. And also because from that line, they established the first house of worship on the face of earth. That first house of worship is not must be that AXA in Jerusalem is not measured. The number we in Medina is not some other Masjid. It is the one in Mecca that was built by the two prophets, Ibrahim and his marine father and son are the humans. Salatu was Salam. And the story of the construction of the Kaaba, the reasoning of its foundation, the way that it was cleansed, that the hours that are made
is something which Allah azza wa jal mentioned elsewhere in the Quran, it is spoken about for example, in Surat Ibrahim, it is spoken about for example, in Surah Al Hajj, it is mentioned in some places in the Quran here Allah azza wa jal just simply gives us a principle and that principle is being mentioned here in context of what Allah azza wa jal is referring to. And that is that the essence of Ibrahim Ali synonyms call is the same as the one that is being bought by our messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So if you are true adherence, True Followers true people who claim to follow Ibrahim Ali Salam, then you would have no issue, no hesitation no reluctance in
following the messenger. The message of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Allah azza wa jal says that indeed the first has to be established for people was the one in Makkah, and Mecca as we know has a number of names in the Arabic language and from those names is Becca, the one that is mentioned here, in this verse be bacchetta Mobile raka
And so McCann Baca, both of them are names for the holy city mu Baraka, it is a place it is it is a place of blessings. And it is a place of blessings because of the drugs that were made for it by Ibrahim Ali salaam, some of those hours we already covered in the first years in Surah Al Baqarah. In that passage towards the end of the first shows in which Allah azza wa jal speaks about Ibrahim Ali Salam was some of the eyes that he made for the people of Mecca for the city of Mecca and for the inhabitants of the city of Mecca in terms of the provision and the sanctity of the police and so on and so forth. And so therefore, Allah azza wa jal says, it is something which is mobile and from
the greatest evidences of its blessing is that even today, after 1000s of years, from the time of Ibrahim Ali sang, the hearts of millions and millions and millions of Muslims are drawn to the Holy City. Go to any Muslim in any part of the world, and see how much they yearn to be able to go to Makkah, how much they would love to go to Mecca, how diligently people save and strive for years in order to be able to go to perform Umrah or Hajj, how the people have this amazing love for the city of Allah azza wa jal because there is a Mobarak place a place of blessing and for the people of Mecca, it is a place that is best for them also, well who the little island mean, and was a source
of guidance because that is where the messengers of Allah who he was sending our prophets of Allah who he will send them came from. That is where as we know that people go for their heart and their pilgrimage. That is the place where the religion of Islam began. In the time of the prophets of Allah where it was set up that Israel revolution first came to him and the Quran is revolution began. And that is Allah azza wa jal then says in verse number 97 fee to be enough to Muhammad Ibrahim the father who kind of um, you know, what he learned in Ireland nurse you had Julie bathe him and stop, aren't you nice? And Bina woman far off in the LA honeymoon? I mean, there are clear
signs in it. It is the place where Ibrahim stood to pray, whoever enters it is safe. pilgrimage to the house is the duty owed to God by people who are able to undertake it. Those who reject this that Allah has no need of anyone. Allah subhanaw taala says though there are many signs in the city of Mecca, and anyone who's been there and has been fortunate enough to go there will see the many signs of Allah azza wa jal, and just from reading the story of Ibrahim, and is married, and the mother of his marine * Ali salatu, salam, you see the many signs that Allah azza wa jal gave to them. The carob Safa, Marwah places like Mina ZamZam, one of these signs that Allah azza wa jal gave and from
those signs is the MACOM of Ibrahim Mohamed Ibrahim is the place that the Brian Murray is from stood on the rock that he stood upon, as he was finishing the construction of the Kaaba. As they got higher and higher in the construction of the Tibet, he needed to stand on a boulder rock so that he could reach the higher parts of the Kaaba, and the footprints of Ibrahim Ali Saran, they then became fixed within that boulder as a sign for people, that boulder or that rock, originally, as we know would have been next to the carbon would have been more or less joining the Kaaba. And that's how it was for the majority of history from the time onwards, until the time of the famous Khalifa, Rommel,
Barbara, the Allahu Akbar. And then he caused it to be moved back to the present place, we find it today. And he calls it to be moved back because as we know, as the Muslims increased in number, more and more people performing pilgrimage, people are making power off and other people are trying to pray that's a problem even today, to be honest, people have tried to withdraw off and people are trying to pray behind Maqam Ibrahim and because of the sheer number and volume of people, those two are conflicting somewhat because people are walking past people are praying and it becomes problematic in the time of Amara, the Allahu Allah. And he said, We need to move this back slightly,
so that there's enough people for space for people to make throw off and space for people to pray during that time. And so the Maqam Ibrahim became a place of prayer, as we know, it is the Sunday after making the tawaf the seventh circuit's around the Kaaba, that you pray took us behind MACOM Ibrahim, and in some narration that has mentioned that this was the one of the inspirations that was given to our model the Allahu Allah and that it came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and he said, O Messenger of Allah, if only we took the space as a place of prayer, and as Allah azza wa jal, were mentioned elsewhere in the Quran, Allah gave that command then to take it as a place of
prayer, meaning that after the tawaf, it's permissible to pray anywhere in the masjid, by the way, but the best of those places and the one that the prophets of Allah where it will send them chose for his tour, as of tawaf, was behind the MACOM of Ibrahim
Allah azza wa jal says woman Dakka Dakka Amina whosoever enters into it meaning the city of Mecca will be safe because of the sanctuary of Mecca star allowed to oppress in Mecca not allowed to hurry or disturb its its wild animals in order to hunt, not allowed to take away its phone plants or any type of pencil brewed them, not allowed for him.
Simple to take last property without announcing all of these different rules that Allah azza wa jal gave to the city of Mecca because of its sacred nature. And so likewise the people who enter into it should also be safe and secure. What Allah here are the nasty hidden beta that is Allah azza wa jal, it says, Therefore it is an obligation that Allah has placed upon people that they make Hajj and pilgrimage to the house as we know it is one of the five pillars of Islam. Once in a lifetime, every able Muslim has to be able to go or has to go and perform Hajj of the house. And Allah azza wa jal says Minnesota Elise Amira, whosoever has the ability to do so meaning primarily the financial
ability of having the provisions and being able to get to Mecca and back those people. It is an obligation upon if someone doesn't have the ability the to pour the to distributes, they don't have the wealth, they don't have the money, they don't have the means that obligation is lifted from them. However, heart is as we know, one of the weakest pillars of our religion, and the act of Hajj is in itself an amazing act of spirituality of worship of coming closer to Allah subhanaw taala of seeking forgiveness and repentance and its rewards are great. And so that's something which we as Muslims shouldn't be laxed concerning. We shouldn't be negligent about we shouldn't delay and delay
and delay for no good reason. Until we get to a point in our lives when we have no choice over too ill or is difficult, but we just don't have a choice anymore and we have to go and perform Hajj. Ideally, you want to perform hajj, when you're in good health, in good spirits. You have the ability to go and understand the particular Riba and to enjoy the worship of Allah subhanaw taala. And it is a moment that should be a life changing moment in the sense that you come closer to Allah azza wa jal, and you become a better Muslim woman. kefan Whosoever rejects this, that Allah azza wa jal is free from such people.
In verse number 98, Allah subhanaw taala then says,
Only a delegator be limited for own me area tiene la he won't allow Shaheed on Isla Mata man, one co people of the book Why don't you reject Allah's revelations for revealed Allah azza wa jal witnesses everything that you do. Allah subhanaw taala is essentially saying that after all of these things that we just mentioned, about the issue of abrogation, that you find the Torah about the importance of following Ibrahim Ali Salam of about how the messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is from the line of Ibrahim Alayhi Salatu, Salam and so on. How can you then believe in the signs that verses of Allah subhanaw taala? If you do so, they know that Allah azza wa jal is a witness of
everything that you do. Meaning the signs are clear. You know them from your own scripture, and you know them from what the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam brought, you know, that this is the truth. So then if you choose to reject it, then that is something which you will be held to account for, and you'll win piano and the next verse, verse 99, Allah subhanaw taala then says
Punia Halal Gita Geeta beanie Metis on donor and Sabina HeMan Manitoba Horner, you want
to show her the
woman Allah Who behalf in in our matter a man on sale People of the Book, why'd you turn the believers away from Allah's path and try to make it crooked, when you yourself should be witnesses to the truth? Indeed Allah is law heedless of that which you do. So Allah subhanaw taala says, again to the people of the book, not only are you people who disbelieve, you turn away you reject, but you're trying to prevent others from finding the path to Allah subhanaw taala you're trying to turn away others and be an obstacle for them from seeking guidance from Allah azza wa jal and you are going and turning away the believers from Allah's path and you try to make it crooked. You change
the straight path and try to make it okay, so that people will be led astray and you will know yourself that it is the truth, you are witnesses, that it is the truth. And so Allah azza wa jal also speaks about the people of Al Kitab, the People of the Scripture and he admonishes them in this way. And that is because many of them by now, even after knowing the truth, may not necessarily accept it. And so Allah azza wa jal speaks to them in this regard. In verse number 100, Alonzo Tilden says,
You are living in a
very communal Arena on Keita by outdoor combat the Imani CONCACAF green, or you who believe some of those who are given the scripture would turn you into disbelievers if you were to yield to them. Meaning if they had the ability, despite knowing these science and these evidences or knowing what is the truth, they would love nothing more than you should turn away from your truth from the region of Allah azza wa jal and be like them and be from the disbelievers. Allah subhanaw. Taala is saying into Tarot for Rica, if a group from amongst them had the ability they could do so they would make you apostate from your religion, after your belief make you turn into disbelievers and that shows
that this is an issue of pride and
Jealousy. Because if someone was upon the truth and you knew they were upon the truth, why would you want them to be misguided? Why would you want them to be led astray unless it is an issue of jealousy and material hatred and so on? And that is why Allah azza wa jal warns us about this, the importance of knowing our own religion, knowing our own theology, knowing what is pleasing to Allah azza wa jal is so important for the Muslim because otherwise you can easily be misled, misguided and misled. And the final verse that we'll take today 101 which is the first page on the next verse, but it is connected and so we'll speak about that as well. Allah azza wa jal says okay for tuck fullmoon
our toddler or they come to LA he will be come Rasulo or may not have seen biller he forgot the who the last row please mr. Beam. How can you disbelieve and Allah's revelations are being recited to you and His Messenger is living amongst you, Whosoever holds fast to Allah will be guided to the straight path. So Allah azza wa jal says that these people have no excuse. Not only do they not want to believe they want to harm others, and word of others from the straight path. They want the believers to become disbelievers. Allah azza wa jal says, and how can you do this? When you know that these verses that are being recited you are from Allah, and you can see that this man living
amongst you meaning at the time of the prophets of Allah wa Salam is the true messenger of Allah. How can you still disbelieve? And that is where Allah azza wa jal says, But whosoever remains steadfast, holds fast remains firm upon their religion, despite all of these temptations and all of these issues going on. Those are the people that Allah azza wa jal has guided to the straight path may Allah subhanaw taala make me a new from amongst them and keep us from upon that path. And with that, we come to the end of today's episode, Baraka lofi come with some Allahu ala Nabina Muhammad Ali he also be a drain with Santa Monica rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh Bismillah
