The title "tafsir page" in the Quran provides insight into the history and use of the title. The worship of Islam is a trap and can lead to confusion and harm, and shelling and actions of worship can be dangerous. The importance of integrity and honesty is emphasized, as it is linked to the great attributes of the believer. The pandemic, including the devastation of trees and buildings, and constant punishment of burning people and the need for people to return to their natural beauty are important factors for achieving healthy life.

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			Welcome to a new episode of our tafsir
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			page by page.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			Today we're on
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			page 87 of the Quran, which is the
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			5th Juz Surah Al Nisa.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			In the previous episode, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			mentioned a number of verses concerning the people
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			of the scriptures, those people who were given
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			revelations before us as Muslims
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			and the way that they responded
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			in terms of their disobedience, in terms of
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			their rejection,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			in terms of the way that they would
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			disrespect and disparage that which Allah had given
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			to them. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			that Allah does not forgive the sin of
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			shirk and Allah may forgive anything other than
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			that to him so ever he will subhanahu
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			wa ta'ala and what that means that Allah
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			forgives anything else to him so ever he
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			wills meaning for the people who are upon
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			Tawhid because if Allah does not forgive shirk
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			for a person then surely Allah Azzawajal will
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			not forgive those people for any of the
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			sins because that shirk is enough for them
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			to enter into the fire. But a person
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:25
			upon Tawhid
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			they have sins they have major sins and
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			wrongs that they did Allah forgives to him
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			so ever he will subhanahu wa ta'ala the
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			caveat in all of those scenarios is so
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			long as they don't make Tawba for the
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			one that makes sincere Tawba Allah forgives them
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			so for the disbelievers the sincere Tawbah is
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			to accept Islam and accept Tawhid and for
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			the believer the one who commits major sins
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			it is to turn back to Allah azza
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			wa Jal and repent and seek forgiveness from
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			him, subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			Today we begin with verse number 51 and
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			it is similar in terms of the context
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			is still the same and the passages are
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			still speaking about the same issues,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			and verse number 51 is the statement of
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			Do you not see
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			how those given a share of the scripture
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			now believe in idols and evil powers?
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			They say of the disbelievers they are more
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			rightly guided than the believers.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in the previous episode
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			as well and in this episode we will
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			see as well on a number of occasions
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			that Allah Azzawajal said to us,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			do you not see?' meaning do you not
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			reflect?' And as we said in the previous
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			episode, this is important because when Allah azza
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			wa Jal is saying to us as Muslims,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			as people who believe in the Quran, who
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			accept the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, do you
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			not see? Meaning will you not reflect?
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			Will you not think about this? And that
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			is because those people that Allah is speaking
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			about were also given scripture,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			also had prophets that they that were sent
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			to them from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala be
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			it Musa 'alayhi Salaam, be it Musa 'alayhi
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			Salaam, they were given revelation and prophethood just
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			as we have the Quran and we have
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam. But that
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			in and of itself isn't necessarily enough. If
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			a person doesn't believe, if a person doesn't
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			strive against Shaitan, if a person doesn't persevere
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			and have determination to obey Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			Ta'ala and stick to the halal and stay
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			away from the Haram, it's not enough that
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			you are amongst those people,
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			That you happen to be just born a
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			Muslim or that you have a Muslim name
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			or that your culture happens to be a
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			Muslim culture. It's not necessarily enough because had
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			it been enough surely would have been enough
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			for the Jews and the Christians and those
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			other nations as well. And so here Allah
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			azza wa Jal is saying
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			another example of this,
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			will you not look at, will you not
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			see, will you not reflect upon those who
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			were given a share of their scripture, meaning
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05
			that they were given revelation before us.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			They believe in idols, evil
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			powers. The word
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			refers to anything that is worshipped besides Allah
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			So any type of shirk,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			any type of worshiping, associating partners with Allah
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:20
			'alaydu'
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			all of those false gods and deities
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			are called Taghut. All of them are Taghut
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			and Allah Azzawajal mentions this in a number
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			of places in the Quran as we have
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			mentioned already for example in Surat Al Baqarah
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			and so on And that is the term
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			therefore Tawgut refers to all of these false
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			gods. So someone may worship a Prophet of
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			Allah, another person may worship a stone, another
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			person may worship a saint, another person may
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			worship an animal, another person may worship some
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			type of nature or natural being, whatever it
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			may be. Anything and everything that is worshipped
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			besides Allah azza wa Jal, that is therefore
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			a false god and deity, in Arabic it
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:56
			is called Tawgut.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			Allah is saying that these people were given
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			revelation,
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			a share of the scripture. What does the
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05
			scripture call to? 1st and foremost, the Tawhid
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			of Allah, the Oneness of Allah, the right
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			of Allah Azzawajal to be worshipped alone with
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			that partner. Allah Subhanu wa Ta'ala says concerning
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			these people, they believe in Taghut, they believe
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			in all of these false gods and they
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20
			believe in Aljibt. And Aljibt is anything which
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			is an evil power that helps a person
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			to turn away from Allah 'azawajal. So for
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			example fortune telling, for example sorcery, these are
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			types and examples of Aljib. This is what
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			they engage in. So rather than sticking to
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			their scriptures and the central message of Tuhid
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			and the worship of Allah Azza wa Jal
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			alone, they turned away. As Allah mentioned, as
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			we said in the previous verse in the
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			previous episode,
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			they purchased misguidance and they want misguidance for
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			others as well.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			And so what do they do?
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			And because of the way that they are,
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			because of their worship of the Tawhut, because
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			of the way that they believe in their
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04
			false ideologies and so on, and they say
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			that a person should be upon. So they
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			consider everything therefore that is unbecoming and befitting
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			for a believer
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			for so they were considered the way of
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			the disbelievers which is everything which is unbecoming
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:25
			of the believer
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			to be more rightly guided,
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			to be better
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:32
			and more straight meaning on the straight path
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			than the way of the believers
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			and that is because of the way that
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38
			Shaitan has come and corrupted the way that
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			they think and that is the danger of
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			Shaitan, that is the trap of Shaitan. Shaitan
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			comes with a small thing and then over
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			time it continues and increases and increases and
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			increases until there is nothing left of the
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			remnants of the Tawhid that those people had.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			Just look at Quraysh. Quraysh, we can trace
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			back their ancestry,
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58
			we can trace back their original religion that
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			they should have been upon all the way
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			back to Ibrahim and Ismail alayhi musalahu alaihi
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:02
			wa sallam.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			Then the Quraysh still have Hajj and the
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08
			Kaaba and Zamzam and Arafa and Mina and
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			Muzdalifa, these are remnants
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			from the times of the region of Ibrahim
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			and Ismail alayhim as salatu wa salam. But
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			Shaitan came and he entered upon them idolatry
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			and idol worship and the false gods that
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			they believed in besides Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			and he twisted every aspect of their religion
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			to the extent that even the one thing
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			that they still kind of hung onto, which
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			is the pilgrimage and the Hajj and the
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			Kaaba, even that's twisted.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			So they have people making tawaf naked. You
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			have certain acts that the Qurayshaun are willing
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			to do such as going out to Arafah
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			and certain things that they changed
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			even in the one thing that he still
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			had kind of and
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			that is what Shaitan does. He corrupts, he
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:51
			changes, he distorts so that person even though
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			they think and that is one of his
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			traps that they continue to think that they
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			are upon good, that they are worshipping Allah,
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			that they are worshipping something that is close
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			to what Allah Azzawajal wants but in reality
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			it is far distant and far removed from
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			that which Allah Azzawajal commanded
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			and that is the trap of Shaitan and
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			so here Allah ajazal is saying the same
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			thing. So therefore a person always needs to
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			be wary and careful of the traps of
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			Shaitan,
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			especially when it comes to acts of worship.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			How many of our fellow brothers and sisters
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			in Islam across the Muslim world today are
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			engaged in acts of cover
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			of disbelief and bid our innovation
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			under the guise of it being something which
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			is good, something which is righteous, something which
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			is an act of worship.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			So even an act of worship meaning generally
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			speaking, it could be called
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41
			or have the label of prayer or fasting
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			or charity or the
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			or some type of pilgrimage
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			but in reality
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			when you look down into the detail is
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			not what Allah commanded or legislated
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			and that is extremely dangerous.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			And so the Muslim has to be someone
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			who is in shore of their religion,
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			constantly studying and learning and showing that what
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			they are doing in terms of their worship,
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			in terms of their belief, it is what
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			Allah commanded in the Quran, what the Prophet
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:07
			commanded sallallahu alaihi wa sallam in his sunnah.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			So Allah says concerning these people,
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			Allah Subhanu wa Ta'ala says,
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			in verse number 52, those are the ones
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			that Allah has cursed
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			and you will not find anyone to help
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			those that Allah has
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:30
			cursed. Allah cursed them because they turned away
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			and the curse of Allah azza wa Jal
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			has been removed
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			from the mercy of Allah and once a
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			person is removed from the mercy of Allah,
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			there is nothing for them except the punishment
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And so Allah
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			'Azza wa Jal says those who are cursed
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:46
			in this situation
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			will have no helper besides Allah Subhanahu
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			In verse number 53, Allah then continues and
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:53
			says
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			do they have any share of what he
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:02
			possesses?
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			If they did, they would not give away
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07
			so much as the grove of a date
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10
			stone. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, do they
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			have a portion of what Allah possesses of
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			his kingdom?
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			Meaning why as Allah Azzawaj is saying this
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			in the next couple of verses, Allah Subhanahu
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			Wa Ta'ala is saying that these people rejected
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23
			the Prophet sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam, they rejected
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			the guidance that he brought and they considered
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:28
			him meaning Muhammad sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam unworthy
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:31
			of being chosen as Allah's Prophet and Messenger.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			They said why were we prophets and messengers
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			or what we have is enough or what
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			we are is sufficient or we are the
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			chosen beloved ones of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			All of these different claims that they make
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			Allah aasawwajal is saying to them
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			do you own the kingdom of Allah, the
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49
			dominion of Allah that you choose what goes
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			to whom? You are you are the ones
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			who possess all of the shares and so
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			you are the ones who distribute them?
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			Do you have any portion of Allah's kingdom
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:58
			or dominion?
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			And even if you did then you would
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			never give anything away because that is the
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			nature of humans.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			The nature of humans is that there are
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			people who hoard, people who are miserly, people
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			who want to keep everything to themselves. If
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			Allah Azzawajal had given them the choice to
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:16
			find
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			the one who was most worthy of Prophet
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:19
			or the messengership,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21
			they would have said Irrisas
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			and kept it with themselves even if they
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			were unworthy.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			And so they are not befitting
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			of this station, let alone befitting of the
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			kingdom and the dominion of Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			Ta'ala.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			Allah, ajaz, then says in verse number 54
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:35
			continuing on this,
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			Do they envy people for the bounty that
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			Allah has granted
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54
			them? We gave the descendants of Ibrahim the
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			scripture and wisdom
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			And we gave them a great kingdom.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			Allah is saying, 'Because of your envy, your
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:01
			jealousy
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			from that which Allah has given to his
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			bounty to other people.'
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			So they were jealous of the Prophet be
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			the people of the scripture that Allah chose
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			him and made him a messenger of Allah
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			outside of Bani Israel and the shulrah of
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			Israel, that Allah chose someone from outside of
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:18
			their nation,
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			outside of their people to be the greatest
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			and most beloved of His prophets to him
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			salallahu alaihi wasalam.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:28
			Or the Quraysh, a similar example,
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			where they consider themselves to be more worthy
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:33
			as individuals because of their wealth, because of
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			their status, because of their fame, because of
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			their power, whatever it may be they consider
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			themselves as individuals, as men to be more
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			worthy of the station of being a Prophet
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:44
			and Messenger of Allah than our Messenger Muhammad
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			sallallahu alaihi wasallam. 'Am Yasudoon and Nas?' Is
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			it because of the envy that they feel?
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			The jealousy that they have in their hearts
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			for the bounty that Allah gave to other
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:57
			than them? 'Fakad a'ina Aala Ibrahim Al Kitab
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00
			Allah A'Sajid says that indeed We gave to
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			Ibrahim and his descendants the book meaning the
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			scripture,
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			wal Hikmah and wisdom and we gave to
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:06
			them
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			a great kingdom. We know that every Prophet
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			that came after Ibrahim Alaihi Salaam
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			is from his progeny,
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			is from there is from his his children
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			and included from them is our own prophet
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			sallallahu alaihi wasalam. And amongst them are those
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			who were given kingdom as well like Dawood
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			and Salima and alaihi mus salam. Not only
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			are they prophets of Allah but they were
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:30
			kings and rulers. People that Allah gave to
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			them power and wealth upon the land as
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			well. And they were from amongst them prophets
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			who were not given those things. But Allah
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			gave to whomsoever He wills or gives to
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:41
			whomsoever he wills that which he pleases. And
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			then you have our messenger Muhammad
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			that was given the greatest of honors by
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:49
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. That is why Allah
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			then says in verse number 55.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01
			But some of them believed in it and
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:04
			others turned away from it. Indeed, how fire
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			blazes fiercely enough.
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:09
			Meaning some believed in it, meaning the prophethood
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Some of
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			them believed in the bounty that Allah gave
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			to him, and so they accepted him as
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:17
			as the prophet and messenger of Allah. They
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:20
			obeyed him and they believed in him and
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:21
			they listened to him and they followed his
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23
			ways sallallahu alaihi wa sallam as we see
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			in the example of the many companions of
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:26
			the Prophet
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			and those who followed them in righteousness and
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:30
			goodness and belief.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			But there were many others who turned away.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			From the time of Quresh,
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			the people of Mecca and then the other
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			Arabs and those who followed on their path
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:43
			today until today, we are separated into these
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:45
			2 groups, those who understand
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:48
			and believe in the messenger salallahu alaihi wasalam
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:50
			and those who turned away from him salallahu
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:51
			alaihi wasalam.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:54
			Allah
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			says and how far is enough
		
00:14:57 --> 00:15:00
			of a blazing fire for those who turn
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			away from Allah
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			and reject the revelation
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			and the prophets that Allah has sent. Allah
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala then says in verse number
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			56 and 57,
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			now speaking about that issue of reward and
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13
			punishment,
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			those who turn away and those who believe,
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			those who accept and those who reject. Allah
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			'Azza wa Jal speaks about the punishment of
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:22
			those who reject first in verse number 56.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			We shall replace them with new ones so
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			that they may continue to feel the pain.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:55
			Indeed, Allah is Almighty, All Wise.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:58
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in this verse
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			concerning the punishment
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			of those people who reject and turn away.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:06
			Allah says that they will be guided towards
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:06
			the fire.
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			We will lead them towards the fire and
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			that will be their punishment
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			and that is where they will reign or
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			reside therein for eternity.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			Throughout the Quran, Allah
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			gives to us descriptions of that punishment
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			in terms of the food of the people
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:23
			of the fire,
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			the drink of the people of the fire,
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			the way that the fire encompasses them, how
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			they will live and reside in the fire
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:33
			and this is an example of that. And
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:34
			it is one of the most graphic examples
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:37
			of the punishment of the fire. Allah subhanahu
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:38
			wa ta'ala says,
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:44
			every single time their skin is melted and
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:47
			burned away because that fire is extremely fierce.
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			As the prophet told us salallahu alaihi wasalam
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			when he was comparing the fire of this
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			world to the fire of the next life,
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:56
			he said that the fire of this dunya
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			is one of 70 parts of the fire
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			of the next life. 1 70th meaning the
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:04
			fire of Yomul Qiyama burns
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			70 times stronger,
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			more fiercer than the fire of this dunya.
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:10
			And we all know what a fire can
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			do in this world, how it can destroy
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16
			and burn and decimate everything in its path.
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:18
			We've seen those pictures of wildfires
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			and the way that they destroy forests. We've
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
			seen the way fires go through a house
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			and buildings. We've seen the way fire can
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			encompass and consume everything that is in its
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:29
			path by Allah's permission.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:32
			Now we imagine that 70 times stronger,
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:36
			70 times more fierce, 70 times more ferocious,
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			70 times
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			greater in terms of its burning power. That
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			is what the people of the fire will
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:42
			have.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			So every single time that they are burned,
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:49
			Allah tells us in the Quran that only
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			no, it's not only the external things that
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			are burned, internally as well, elsewhere in the
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:56
			Quran. So what they eat, what they drink,
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			what they consume inside, it burns. But the
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:01
			physical outer such stuff burns as well. Their
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			skins will burn
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04
			and they will melt away
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			and a person will think that once their
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:09
			flesh has burned and gone, that's it, it's
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			done. But Allah says,
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:16
			we will continue to replace their skin and
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:19
			their flesh with new flesh and skin. So
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			it's not the end but as we know
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			it is a recurring continuous
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:24
			punishment
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:25
			on until
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:26
			all of eternity
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			and so Allah
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			says, we will give to them new skin,
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			new flesh so that it will burn again
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37
			and when it burns it will be replaced
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			a third time and a fourth and so
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			on and so forth.
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			So that they may continue
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			to taste the punishment,
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			that they may continue to experience
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:48
			the pain that Allah has
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			decreed upon them.
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:53
			For indeed Allah
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			is almighty and he is always subhanahu wa
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:59
			ta'ala in verse number 57 Allah azza wa
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			jal then gives to us the
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:05
			glad tidings and the rewards of those who
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:05
			believe,
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			those who accept, those who follow the way
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			As for those who believe and do good
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:38
			deeds, We shall admit them into gardens graced
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			with flowing streams, and then they will remain
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			forever.
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			They will have pure spouses there, and we
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:46
			shall admit them into cool refreshing shade. Allah
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			Subhanu Wa Ta'ala says that the people of
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			Iman,
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:52
			the people of righteous deeds, the people of
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			belief, the people who accepted what the Prophet
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			brought to allahu alaihi wa sallam and obeyed
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:58
			him, they will enter into Jannah,
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:01
			gardens under which rivers flow,
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:04
			and they will remain therein forever. Just as
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			the people of the fire remain therein forever,
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			the people of Jannah also remain therein forever.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			They will have pure spouses.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			So the people of Jannah, as we know,
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			Allah Azza wa Jal will remove from them
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			everything from this life that was considered to
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:21
			be impure, that was considered to be filthy.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:22
			So they will not need to go to
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:23
			the bathroom
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			and and urinate or defecate a crimea qumullah.
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			They will not become ill and sick in
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			the way that people in this life become
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			ill and sick. They will not become frail
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			and old and infirm in the way that
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			people do in this life sometimes.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			All of those things that are weaknesses,
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:40
			they will be removed from the people of
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			Jannah. Allah will give to them a life
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:43
			of
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			goodness, a life of bliss, a life of
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			enjoyment, a life of reward.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:51
			Everything in Jannah is pure,
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			even their spouses.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56
			Everyone is pure, everything in Jannah is pure.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			They will have everlasting,
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:03
			cool, refreshing shade. And look at the therefore
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:04
			the juxtaposition, the
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			distinction and the difference between what the people
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			of the fire have, what the people of
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			Jannah will have. The people of the fire
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			will be in torment and burning
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15
			and they will continue to experience that burning
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:18
			forever. Whereas the people of Jannah are given
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:21
			shade, they are given respite, they are given
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:24
			coolness, they are given everything that they need
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:26
			in order to live a blissful existence
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			by Allah's pleasure and by his command and
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			his mercy. Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			In verse 58 Allah Azzawaj then continues and
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
			he says
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:53
			Allah commands you to return things entrusted to
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			you to their rightful owners and if you
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			judge between the people to do so with
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:59
			justice, indeed Allah's instructions to you are excellent
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			for he hears and sees everything.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala commands us with a
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			number of things here, that it is from
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			the attributes of the believer,
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			that the believer is someone who has integrity
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			and is honest and truthful,
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			And from that integrity is that they return
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			the trust that were given to them. So
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:18
			when you are entrusted with something, whatever their
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:18
			responsibility
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:20
			is, it may be a job, it may
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			be a role that you play within your
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:23
			community and in your society
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:25
			or it may be a physical trust that
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:27
			someone gives to you and says look after
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:30
			this for me. I entrust you with this
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			for your safe in your safe keeping that
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			you will return it to me at some
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			point. All of those types of trust
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			are things that the person should fulfill to
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			the best of their ability. That is something
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			which Allah azza wa jal,
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43
			Allah azza wa jal loves and that is
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:46
			because it is from the signs of hypocrisy
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			that a person breaks that trust, that a
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:51
			person is entrusted with something that they accept
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:54
			and that person that breaks the trust that
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:56
			they were given in the first place. That
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:58
			is something which is disliked amongst
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			the, disliked in Islam and it is something
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:04
			which is from the from the ways of
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05
			the hypocrites. Allah
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06
			says,
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			and if you are going to judge between
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			people then do it with justice.
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			And that is that a person does it
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:16
			for the sake of Allah azza wa Jal,
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			they don't do it for any type of
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:19
			wealth or wordly
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			praise or accolade they do it only for
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			and so a person who judges must be
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			just and if you cannot be just or
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			you have a vested interest then you seek
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:33
			to recuse yourself. You apologize. You say, this
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:36
			isn't for me. You withdraw from that situation.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			But if you're going to judge, then you
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			must be just. You must listen to both
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			sides fairly and you must weigh up what
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			they bring to you to the table and
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:47
			then you deal in that issue in a
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:48
			way that is fair and just and that
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			is because Allah
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52
			loves these two aspects. Number 1, that a
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:53
			person has integrity,
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			has truthfulness, has honesty and number 2 that
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			they are fair and just and both of
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			these issues are linked with one another and
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03
			they are from the greatest of of characteristics
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			and attributes that a person
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:06
			can hold.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			Allah says that indeed what Allah
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:12
			instructs you towards,
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:16
			reminds you of is from the most blessed
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			and most excellent of affairs. And
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:22
			remember that Allah knows and hears and sees
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			everything that you do.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:25
			In the final verse in today's episode, Allah
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			says in verse number 59.
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			Allah and his messenger and those in authority
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			amongst you. And if you are in dispute
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			of any matter, refer to Allah and his
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			Messenger. If you truly believe in Allah, then
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			I stay that is better and fairer in
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00
			the end. Allah subhanahu ta'ala gives to us
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			this amazing verse that is the principle
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			and the if you like the bedrock of
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			the way that the Muslims should be. The
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			foundation of Islam is in these issues and
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:11
			affairs. Number 1, the obedience of Allah
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			and number 2, the obedience of the Prophet
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15
			salallahu alaihi wasalam. In everything that you do,
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:18
			obey Allah's commands, obey the commands of the
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:21
			Prophet salallahu alaihi wasalam. And number 3, wa'ulil
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			amri min kum those people that Allah has
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:25
			given authority over you. Allah azza wa Jal,
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:28
			in society there are people who are given
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:29
			certain cases of authority.
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			Those people of authority
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33
			have rights and from those rights is that
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:35
			you obey them in that which they do
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			which is good. Who are those people of
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			authority? The scholars said that there are 2
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:40
			types of people when it comes to Muslims.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42
			Number 1 are the rulers.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			Those people have authority over you. You must
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:48
			obey them because what they decide and what
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			they decree, it is for the benefit of
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			the whole of the society and so you
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			must play your part and that's why it
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			is from the etiquette of the Muslim and
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:58
			from the good points of Islam that you
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			obey those people who are in in charge
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			of your affairs
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			and the rules that they place
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:06
			and the laws that they set so long
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08
			as that there are laws that are good
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			and they are beneficial for the society,
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			they are to be obeyed. And that's for
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			example so when we are driving now we
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			have laws that determine the way that we
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:19
			drive, laws of road traffic management and so
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:21
			on, Those things must be obeyed because it
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
			is for the greater good of society.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:25
			You can't come and say, no, that it's
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			not found in the Quran, it's not found
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			in the sunnah. It is found in the
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:30
			Quran and the sunnah in this verse. Allah
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32
			says obey them. Those are the first group
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			of people and the second group of people
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			as the scholars of tafsir said are the
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			scholars because they are the ones who instruct
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:40
			you in terms of your religion. They tell
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			you what is Haram and Haram. They tell
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:44
			you what Allah 'azawajal wants from you and
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:45
			what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala told you to
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			stay away from And so therefore in those
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			affairs you must obey them also because they
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			are guiding you to the path of Allah
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			aza wa Jal. And
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:55
			if you dispute,
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:58
			you don't know, you're going to disagree,
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00
			then what do you do? Turn
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			it back to Allah, turn it back to
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:06
			his Messenger salallahu alaihi wa sallam because they
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07
			are the ones
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			who decide all affairs.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
			Our religion is based upon those two sources
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14
			primarily, the Quran and the Sunnah. So if
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:15
			there is a dispute,
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:18
			if there is something where we're unsure, if
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			we don't know what is the correct path,
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			we take it back to Allah and his
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
			messenger, salallahu alaihi wa sallam. Allah says, if
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			indeed you truly believe in Allah and the
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:28
			last day, that is better for you and
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30
			it is fairer in the end. And with
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			that we come to the end of today's
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:32
			episode.
