00:01:05--> 00:01:08

So today is the 22nd day of our

00:01:08--> 00:01:09

reading and commentary of this book of Tafsir

00:01:10--> 00:01:11

al Karim al Rahman.

00:01:13--> 00:01:15

More famously known as the Tafsir al Masadi

00:01:23--> 00:01:26

And today we begin with the tafsir of

00:01:26--> 00:01:26

the 76th

00:01:27--> 00:01:28

chapter of the Quran,

00:01:29--> 00:01:32

Suratul Insan. And this name, Al Insan,

00:01:32--> 00:01:34

is mentioned in many of the books of

00:01:34--> 00:01:36

tafsir and in some of the narrations

00:01:37--> 00:01:39

that you will find from amongst the early

00:01:39--> 00:01:40

scholars of Islam.

00:01:40--> 00:01:42

But the name by which it is known

00:01:42--> 00:01:44

and referred to usually in the books of

00:01:44--> 00:01:45

the sunnah and in the hadith of the

00:01:45--> 00:01:46

prophet

00:01:46--> 00:01:47

is

00:01:48--> 00:01:49

Surat

00:01:53--> 00:01:53

insan.

00:01:54--> 00:01:56

And it is also known as, in some

00:01:56--> 00:01:58

of the early works of tafsir, Surah to

00:01:58--> 00:02:01

Dhar, and the Dhar refers to time. And

00:02:01--> 00:02:03

all of these three names are taken from

00:02:03--> 00:02:04

the first verse.

00:02:05--> 00:02:09

The Surah Al Insane, the scholars of Tafsir

00:02:09--> 00:02:11

differed as to whether it is a Mecca

00:02:11--> 00:02:12

or Madani Surah.

00:02:12--> 00:02:13

And it is reported from

00:02:13--> 00:02:14

Ibn Abbas

00:02:15--> 00:02:17

that he said both. He has a narration

00:02:17--> 00:02:19

that says Meqi, a narration that says Madani.

00:02:20--> 00:02:22

And from those scholars who also said Madani

00:02:22--> 00:02:23

was his student Mujahid

00:02:24--> 00:02:26

and the famous scholar of tafsir Qathada.

00:02:26--> 00:02:28

And so a number of them said that

00:02:28--> 00:02:31

it is a Madani Surah. However, other companions

00:02:31--> 00:02:33

such as Ibn Zubayr and then some of

00:02:33--> 00:02:34

the scholars who came after them said that

00:02:34--> 00:02:36

it is Meqi. And the Surah is a

00:02:36--> 00:02:38

Surah that speaks as you will see

00:02:39--> 00:02:41

a surah that that speaks primarily about Jannah

00:02:42--> 00:02:42

and its blessings

00:02:43--> 00:02:44

and its many rewards.

00:02:45--> 00:02:47

And usually those surahs, if that is the

00:02:47--> 00:02:50

entirety or the majority of their subject matter,

00:02:51--> 00:02:52

usually those surahs are in

00:02:52--> 00:02:53

the Quran and Allah

00:02:54--> 00:02:56

knows best. This is one of the Surah's

00:02:56--> 00:02:58

that the prophet sallallahu alaihi was telling me

00:02:58--> 00:02:59

is to recite

00:02:59--> 00:03:01

on the day of Friday in the Fajr

00:03:01--> 00:03:02

salah. He will recite

00:03:04--> 00:03:06

in the first rakar, and in the second

00:03:06--> 00:03:08

rakar he will recite Surah Al Insan. And

00:03:08--> 00:03:10

it is because it is a beautiful surah

00:03:10--> 00:03:12

that speaks about many of the blessings and

00:03:12--> 00:03:15

rewards of Jannah that Allah has prepared for

00:03:15--> 00:03:17

the believers and it consists of 31 verses.

00:03:41--> 00:03:43

In the name of Allah, the most gracious,

00:03:43--> 00:03:44

the most merciful.

00:03:54--> 00:03:56

Was there not a period of time when

00:03:56--> 00:03:58

man was nothing worth mentioning?

00:04:09--> 00:04:11

Verily, we have created a man from a

00:04:11--> 00:04:13

drop of mingled fluid in order to test

00:04:13--> 00:04:15

him. So we gave him hearing and sight.

00:04:24--> 00:04:26

Verily we have shown him the way whether

00:04:26--> 00:04:28

he is grateful or or ungrateful.

00:04:28--> 00:04:30

In this surah, Allah tells us of the

00:04:30--> 00:04:33

beginning, middle and end of man's existence. He

00:04:33--> 00:04:35

tells us that a long time passed before

00:04:35--> 00:04:36

man existed

00:04:36--> 00:04:37

when he was nothing and was not even

00:04:38--> 00:04:40

and was not even mentioned. And this is

00:04:40--> 00:04:40

one tafsir.

00:04:41--> 00:04:43

The when Allah

00:04:43--> 00:04:44

says, did there not come

00:04:45--> 00:04:47

upon mankind a time that he was nothing

00:04:47--> 00:04:49

worthy of mention? Some of these

00:04:49--> 00:04:52

called said meaning before his creation, meaning only

00:04:52--> 00:04:52

Allah

00:04:53--> 00:04:55

knows how many years, how many centuries,

00:04:55--> 00:04:58

how many millennia existed before the creation of

00:04:58--> 00:04:59

Adam alayhis salatu wasalam.

00:04:59--> 00:05:02

Only Allah knows how much time was before

00:05:02--> 00:05:04

Allah, azza wa jal, created Adam alayhis salatu

00:05:04--> 00:05:06

wasalam because before Adam we know that Allah

00:05:06--> 00:05:08

created the heavens and he created the earth

00:05:08--> 00:05:10

and he created many things subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:05:10--> 00:05:13

How many years passed before Adam was created?

00:05:13--> 00:05:14

Allah knows best.

00:05:15--> 00:05:17

The other position amongst the scholars of tafsir,

00:05:17--> 00:05:19

and it is mentioned in some of the

00:05:19--> 00:05:21

narrations and the books of tafsir is that

00:05:21--> 00:05:23

it refers to when Adam was created but

00:05:23--> 00:05:26

before the spirit was blown into him, because

00:05:26--> 00:05:27

it is known in the hadith of the

00:05:27--> 00:05:28

prophet

00:05:29--> 00:05:31

that Allah when he first created Adam

00:05:33--> 00:05:35

and he fashioned him. He left him there

00:05:36--> 00:05:39

standing, hollow, meaning without spirit, without life.

00:05:39--> 00:05:41

And that is when we have the narration

00:05:41--> 00:05:42

of Iblis.

00:05:43--> 00:05:45

This is before he disobeyed Allah because he

00:05:45--> 00:05:47

was in the company of the angels. The

00:05:47--> 00:05:49

Iblis came and he saw this new creation

00:05:49--> 00:05:50

that he'd never seen before because Adam is

00:05:50--> 00:05:52

the first of his kind, the first human

00:05:52--> 00:05:53

to be created.

00:05:54--> 00:05:55

So he came and he saw a creation

00:05:55--> 00:05:57

that he wasn't familiar with, never seen before.

00:05:57--> 00:05:59

So he began to walk around him,

00:06:00--> 00:06:01

walk around him and walk and analyze and

00:06:01--> 00:06:03

look. And then he said,

00:06:06--> 00:06:08

This is a hollow creature. It doesn't have

00:06:08--> 00:06:10

any self discipline. Meaning that he recognized the

00:06:10--> 00:06:13

weaknesses of humans, that they have very little

00:06:13--> 00:06:15

resolve, very little discipline, that they're very hollow,

00:06:15--> 00:06:17

very shallow. And so this is what he

00:06:17--> 00:06:19

said. So some of the scholars said this

00:06:19--> 00:06:21

is what Allah is referring to, that even

00:06:21--> 00:06:23

before Adam came to life, he spent a

00:06:23--> 00:06:26

number of years just standing there as Allah

00:06:26--> 00:06:28

commanded before he was even worthy of mention.

00:06:28--> 00:06:30

This is before Allah blows his spirit into

00:06:30--> 00:06:33

him, before Allah commands angels to prostrate for

00:06:33--> 00:06:35

him to him. And some of the narrations

00:06:35--> 00:06:37

of those scholars say that he stayed like

00:06:37--> 00:06:38

that for 40

00:06:38--> 00:06:41

years for 40 years until Allah blew the

00:06:41--> 00:06:43

spirit into him. Either way, the meaning is

00:06:43--> 00:06:45

the same, that a time came upon people

00:06:45--> 00:06:48

when mankind wasn't even worthy of mention. Let

00:06:48--> 00:06:50

alone now that they think that they own

00:06:50--> 00:06:52

the earth and do as they please and

00:06:52--> 00:06:54

they worship who they want and they think

00:06:54--> 00:06:55

that there's no resurrection. There was a time

00:06:55--> 00:06:57

when they weren't even in existence.

00:06:58--> 00:07:00

Then when it was Allah's will to create

00:07:00--> 00:07:03

man, he created his father Adam from clay,

00:07:03--> 00:07:04

then he made his offspring from a drop

00:07:04--> 00:07:07

of mingled fluid. That is an insignificant fluid

00:07:07--> 00:07:10

that is regarded as off putting. In order

00:07:10--> 00:07:12

to test him. Thereby, to see whether he

00:07:12--> 00:07:14

would pay attention to how he was in

00:07:14--> 00:07:17

his initial state or he would forget it

00:07:17--> 00:07:19

and become arrogant. And this is how we

00:07:19--> 00:07:19

reconcile

00:07:20--> 00:07:22

and understand these verses about the creation of

00:07:22--> 00:07:25

humankind. Verses that say that man was created

00:07:25--> 00:07:26

from water and clay.

00:07:26--> 00:07:28

Verses that say that he was created from

00:07:28--> 00:07:29

a drop of semen. The author

00:07:30--> 00:07:33

says clay and water meaning its first creation.

00:07:34--> 00:07:36

Adam was created from from clay and from

00:07:36--> 00:07:39

water. But every human that comes after Adam,

00:07:39--> 00:07:41

they're created from the drop of semen. So

00:07:41--> 00:07:41

Allah

00:07:42--> 00:07:44

created our origin in that form of clay

00:07:44--> 00:07:46

and in that form of water, but then

00:07:46--> 00:07:47

every

00:07:47--> 00:07:50

child that is born comes as Allah has

00:07:50--> 00:07:51

decreed for it to come from that drop

00:07:51--> 00:07:52

of semen.

00:07:52--> 00:07:55

Then Allah caused him to develop and created

00:07:55--> 00:07:57

for him hidden and and visible faculties

00:07:58--> 00:08:00

such as hearing, sight, and all the other

00:08:00--> 00:08:02

faculties that he perfected for him and made

00:08:02--> 00:08:05

them sound. So that man could attain thereby

00:08:05--> 00:08:07

that which is beneficial for him. Then he

00:08:07--> 00:08:10

sent the messengers to him and sent down

00:08:10--> 00:08:11

the books and guided him to the path

00:08:11--> 00:08:13

that leads to him. He explained it and

00:08:13--> 00:08:16

urged man to follow it and told him

00:08:16--> 00:08:19

of what, of what he he would have

00:08:19--> 00:08:21

and told him of what he would have

00:08:21--> 00:08:23

when he reaches Allah. Then he told him

00:08:23--> 00:08:25

of the path that leads to Dhulm, warned

00:08:25--> 00:08:27

him against it, and told him of what

00:08:27--> 00:08:29

would happen to him if he followed it,

00:08:29--> 00:08:30

and he tested him thereby. And look at

00:08:30--> 00:08:32

how Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says that we

00:08:32--> 00:08:34

made humans or we gave to them hearing

00:08:34--> 00:08:36

and sight and we showed him the path.

00:08:37--> 00:08:40

Meaning that Allah links a person's sight and

00:08:40--> 00:08:42

their hearing to that which is most beneficial

00:08:42--> 00:08:44

for them to use that sight and hearing

00:08:44--> 00:08:47

in, and that is to attain guidance. Allah

00:08:47--> 00:08:49

from all of the blessings that Allah can

00:08:49--> 00:08:51

mention in this verse, he mentions these 2,

00:08:51--> 00:08:53

hearing and sight, and then he says, and

00:08:53--> 00:08:55

we showed him the path. Showed him meaning

00:08:55--> 00:08:56

that if he uses his sight, he uses

00:08:56--> 00:08:59

his hearing, he will attain guidance if he

00:08:59--> 00:09:01

is sincere. So people are divided into 2

00:09:01--> 00:09:04

categories. Those who are grateful for the blessings

00:09:04--> 00:09:06

that Allah bestows upon them and do the

00:09:06--> 00:09:08

duties that Allah has enjoined upon them. And

00:09:08--> 00:09:11

those who are ungrateful for the blessings that

00:09:11--> 00:09:13

Allah has bestowed upon them, both spiritual and

00:09:13--> 00:09:15

worldly. So they reject them, disbelieve in their

00:09:15--> 00:09:17

lord and follow the path that leads to

00:09:17--> 00:09:19

doom. And the those who are ungrateful are

00:09:19--> 00:09:21

more than the grateful. And that is seen

00:09:21--> 00:09:23

in the way that Allah mentions them in

00:09:23--> 00:09:25

this verse from the eloquence of the Arabic

00:09:25--> 00:09:26

language. Because Allah

00:09:28--> 00:09:29

says

00:09:29--> 00:09:31

In the Arabic language when you describe something

00:09:31--> 00:09:34

you have different levels of of extremities and

00:09:34--> 00:09:36

different levels of eloquence.

00:09:36--> 00:09:37

It should be

00:09:39--> 00:09:39

or

00:09:41--> 00:09:42

But Allah uses

00:09:43--> 00:09:45

which is the lesser eloquent form, and then

00:09:46--> 00:09:47

when it comes to the ungrateful which is

00:09:47--> 00:09:49

the more eloquent form. And that is to

00:09:49--> 00:09:52

show that the disbelievers, the ungrateful will far

00:09:52--> 00:09:52

outnumber

00:09:53--> 00:09:55

those that are grateful to Allah and believe.

00:09:55--> 00:09:56

As the prophet told

00:09:57--> 00:09:59

as we mentioned yesterday in the hadith of

00:09:59--> 00:10:01

Adam, when he's told to extract from the

00:10:01--> 00:10:03

portion of his children, the people that will

00:10:03--> 00:10:05

go to the fire. And Allah will say

00:10:05--> 00:10:06

to him from every 1,999.

00:10:07--> 00:10:09

One of the other wording from every 199.

00:10:11--> 00:10:12

And so the vast majority are kafoor, and

00:10:12--> 00:10:15

that's what Allah uses, the more eloquent word

00:10:15--> 00:10:17

or the form of that, and that is

00:10:17--> 00:10:19

that they are the vast majority. As for

00:10:19--> 00:10:20

the shakireen,

00:10:20--> 00:10:22

those people who thank Allah, are grateful to

00:10:22--> 00:10:24

Allah, they're few and far between. As Allah

00:10:25--> 00:10:25

mentions

00:10:28--> 00:10:30

elsewhere, few from amongst my servants are grateful.

00:10:31--> 00:10:33

Then Allah describes the 2 groups at the

00:10:33--> 00:10:35

time of as he says,

00:10:45--> 00:10:48

Verily, we have prepared for the disbelievers' chains,

00:10:48--> 00:10:50

iron callers, and a raging fire.

00:10:59--> 00:11:01

Verily, the righteous will drink from a cup

00:11:01--> 00:11:02

of wine mixed

00:11:02--> 00:11:03

with camphor.

00:11:13--> 00:11:13

Drawn

00:11:14--> 00:11:15

from a spring

00:11:15--> 00:11:17

from which the slaves of Allah will drink,

00:11:17--> 00:11:19

making it flow wherever they wish.

00:11:20--> 00:11:22

That is, we have prepared and made ready

00:11:22--> 00:11:25

for those who disbelieve in Allah, reject his

00:11:25--> 00:11:27

messengers, and dare to commit sin, chains in

00:11:27--> 00:11:29

chains in the fire of hell. As Allah

00:11:29--> 00:11:32

subhanahu wa ta'ala says elsewhere, then bind him

00:11:32--> 00:11:33

in a chain, the length of which is

00:11:33--> 00:11:36

70 cubits. Iron collars, by means of which

00:11:36--> 00:11:39

their hands and are fastened are fastened to

00:11:39--> 00:11:41

their necks in a raging fire. That is,

00:11:41--> 00:11:43

it will increase in flames fueled by their

00:11:43--> 00:11:44

bodies.

00:11:44--> 00:11:47

As often as their skins are burnt through,

00:11:47--> 00:11:49

we will replace them with fresh skins so

00:11:49--> 00:11:51

that they may continue to taste the punishment.

00:11:51--> 00:11:53

This punishment is ongoing and eternal. They will

00:11:53--> 00:11:56

abide therein forever. As for the righteous who

00:11:56--> 00:11:57

are the ones whose

00:11:57--> 00:11:59

hearts are pure because of what they contain

00:11:59--> 00:12:01

of love of Allah and knowledge of him

00:12:01--> 00:12:04

and because of their, of their good manners

00:12:04--> 00:12:05

and because of their

00:12:05--> 00:12:09

having purified themselves physically by using their faculties

00:12:09--> 00:12:10

in doing righteous deeds.

00:12:10--> 00:12:12

Allah tells us that they will drink from

00:12:12--> 00:12:14

a cup of wine. That is a delicious

00:12:14--> 00:12:17

drink of wine mixed with camphor to cool

00:12:17--> 00:12:19

it down and reduce the sharpness of its

00:12:19--> 00:12:20

taste. Allah

00:12:20--> 00:12:22

says that it is a kas,

00:12:23--> 00:12:24

a cup,

00:12:24--> 00:12:26

and the author says of wine.

00:12:27--> 00:12:29

And he mentions it as wine even though

00:12:29--> 00:12:30

the verse doesn't say that it is wine

00:12:30--> 00:12:32

because the Arabs only use the word in

00:12:32--> 00:12:34

classical Arabic

00:12:35--> 00:12:36

to to hold wine.

00:12:36--> 00:12:38

In classical Arabic, in the Quran, in the

00:12:38--> 00:12:41

sunnah is only used for a vessel that

00:12:41--> 00:12:42

holds wine. So when

00:12:42--> 00:12:44

Allah says that they will be given a

00:12:44--> 00:12:45

a cup,

00:12:45--> 00:12:47

means a glass of wine. And so that's

00:12:47--> 00:12:49

where he takes that tarsier from.

00:12:50--> 00:12:52

This camphor will be extremely delicious, free of

00:12:52--> 00:12:54

any contamination and unpallet

00:12:56--> 00:12:56

unpalletability.

00:12:58--> 00:13:00

As is the case with the camphor of

00:13:00--> 00:13:02

this world. Because whatever Allah tells us of

00:13:02--> 00:13:05

that which is in paradise of things that

00:13:05--> 00:13:06

have earthly counterparts,

00:13:06--> 00:13:08

They have they will be free of any

00:13:08--> 00:13:09

of the problematic

00:13:09--> 00:13:12

elements that they have in this world. As

00:13:12--> 00:13:14

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us elsewhere, there

00:13:14--> 00:13:15

will be amidst thornless

00:13:16--> 00:13:19

loat trees and banana trees laden with fruit,

00:13:19--> 00:13:21

with pure spouses. For them will be an

00:13:21--> 00:13:22

abode of peace with their lord.

00:13:23--> 00:13:25

There will be therein all that souls may

00:13:25--> 00:13:28

desire and all that eyes may delight in.

00:13:28--> 00:13:31

Drawn from a spring from which the slaves

00:13:31--> 00:13:33

of Allah will drink. That is they they

00:13:33--> 00:13:35

will have no fear about the delicious cup

00:13:35--> 00:13:38

from which they will drink ever running out.

00:13:38--> 00:13:40

For it has a source that will never

00:13:40--> 00:13:42

end. Come from a spring that flows constantly,

00:13:42--> 00:13:44

and the slaves of Allah will make it

00:13:44--> 00:13:46

flow wherever and however they wish. As we

00:13:46--> 00:13:48

said about the food of Jannah before and

00:13:48--> 00:13:50

the fruit of Jannah and the birds of

00:13:50--> 00:13:52

Jannah and everything else that Allah places in

00:13:52--> 00:13:55

Jannah, it will come to the believers as

00:13:55--> 00:13:57

and when they wish, as and when they

00:13:57--> 00:13:58

demand, to their convenience.

00:13:59--> 00:14:00

So the fact that there are flowing streams

00:14:00--> 00:14:03

in Jannah of water and wine and all

00:14:03--> 00:14:05

of these other drinks that Allah has prepared,

00:14:05--> 00:14:06

They don't just run as they run-in the

00:14:06--> 00:14:08

dunya in their in

00:14:09--> 00:14:11

their or in their trenches. In the dunya,

00:14:11--> 00:14:13

everything has its own place where it runs.

00:14:13--> 00:14:16

The river flows where it flows, and the

00:14:16--> 00:14:18

ocean flows where it flows, and the streams

00:14:18--> 00:14:19

flow where they flow. And

00:14:20--> 00:14:21

that is why some of the scholars when

00:14:21--> 00:14:22

they say

00:14:23--> 00:14:25

and hard, gardens under which rivers flow, they

00:14:25--> 00:14:26

often say that

00:14:27--> 00:14:29

that there are no banks. Meaning that it's

00:14:29--> 00:14:31

not in a trench or in something which

00:14:31--> 00:14:33

is dug out that it follows that line.

00:14:34--> 00:14:36

Goes wherever he pleases as Allah commands and

00:14:36--> 00:14:38

as the believers wish for. So if you

00:14:38--> 00:14:40

are far away from that place or you

00:14:40--> 00:14:42

wanted to come to a place to you,

00:14:42--> 00:14:43

it will come by Allah

00:14:44--> 00:14:44

command.

00:14:45--> 00:14:46

If they wish, they will be able to

00:14:46--> 00:14:49

direct it towards beautiful gardens full of blossoms

00:14:49--> 00:14:51

or make it run between the palaces and

00:14:51--> 00:14:52

adorned dwellings

00:14:53--> 00:14:55

or in any direction they want.

00:15:04--> 00:15:06

They fulfill their vows and fear a day,

00:15:07--> 00:15:09

the the evil of which will be widespread.

00:15:18--> 00:15:20

And they give food, despite their love for

00:15:20--> 00:15:22

it, to the needy, orphans, and captives.

00:15:36--> 00:15:38

Saying we only feed you for the sake

00:15:38--> 00:15:40

of Allah. We seek you we seek of

00:15:40--> 00:15:42

you neither recompense nor things.

00:15:50--> 00:15:52

Verily, we fear from our lord a grim

00:15:52--> 00:15:54

and awful day. Here, Allah tells us about

00:15:54--> 00:15:56

some of the their deeds. The deeds of

00:15:56--> 00:15:58

the righteous. So Allah describes the righteous first

00:15:58--> 00:16:00

in terms of their reward, in terms of

00:16:00--> 00:16:01

what Allah will give to them in Jannah.

00:16:01--> 00:16:03

And now Allah gives to us some of

00:16:03--> 00:16:05

their attributes and some of their characteristics and

00:16:05--> 00:16:06

actions.

00:16:07--> 00:16:09

They fulfill their vows. That is, they fulfill

00:16:09--> 00:16:11

what they commit themselves to for the sake

00:16:11--> 00:16:13

of Allah. If they fulfill vows which are

00:16:13--> 00:16:15

not obligatory upon them, unless they take that

00:16:15--> 00:16:17

upon themselves, it's more likely that they will

00:16:17--> 00:16:20

fulfill their commitment to basic obligatory duties. So

00:16:20--> 00:16:22

when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has made obligatory

00:16:22--> 00:16:24

upon them, that is them fulfilling their vows.

00:16:24--> 00:16:26

Let alone the author says that which they

00:16:26--> 00:16:28

voluntarily make our vows

00:16:28--> 00:16:31

because there are vows that Allah has taken

00:16:31--> 00:16:32

from all of us, a pledge that all

00:16:32--> 00:16:33

of us have made in terms of his

00:16:33--> 00:16:36

worship and obligations and so on. And then

00:16:36--> 00:16:37

there are voluntary vows that you place upon

00:16:37--> 00:16:40

yourself. Someone says I vow that I will

00:16:40--> 00:16:42

fast 3 days outside of Ramadan. I vow

00:16:42--> 00:16:43

that I will give such an amount in

00:16:43--> 00:16:45

charity. I vow that I will go to

00:16:45--> 00:16:46

Amal. These are vows that are optional.

00:16:47--> 00:16:49

Allah didn't make them obligatory upon you, but

00:16:49--> 00:16:51

those who are likely to fulfill their obligations,

00:16:51--> 00:16:53

are they likely to fulfill that which they

00:16:53--> 00:16:54

obligate upon themselves.

00:16:55--> 00:16:56

And fear they the evil of which will

00:16:56--> 00:16:59

be rise widespread. That is, it will spread

00:16:59--> 00:17:02

and reach everywhere, So they fear that its

00:17:02--> 00:17:04

evil may reach them. Therefore, they avoid everything

00:17:04--> 00:17:06

that may lead to that. And they give

00:17:06--> 00:17:08

food despite their love for it. That is

00:17:08--> 00:17:10

although they love wealth and food, they give

00:17:10--> 00:17:13

precedence to love of Allah over love of

00:17:13--> 00:17:15

themselves. And they try to give their food

00:17:15--> 00:17:17

to those who are most deserving and most

00:17:17--> 00:17:19

in need of it. The needy, orphans, and

00:17:19--> 00:17:22

captives. Says that they give their food despite

00:17:22--> 00:17:23

their love for it. Some of the scholars

00:17:23--> 00:17:24

of tafsir

00:17:24--> 00:17:27

took this position that the meaning is that

00:17:27--> 00:17:28

despite their need and their love for that

00:17:28--> 00:17:30

food, they will give it to others. Another

00:17:30--> 00:17:32

said, it means that they give the best

00:17:32--> 00:17:34

of the food, meaning from the food that

00:17:34--> 00:17:35

they love most.

00:17:35--> 00:17:37

They give that to those people that are

00:17:37--> 00:17:38

needy. It means they don't just give them

00:17:38--> 00:17:40

anything or the leftovers. No. They give to

00:17:40--> 00:17:42

them the best of their food as as

00:17:42--> 00:17:44

we mentioned in the story of Ibrahim alaihis

00:17:44--> 00:17:46

salatu sallam when the angels came to him

00:17:46--> 00:17:47

in the form of men. He took the

00:17:47--> 00:17:49

best of what he had, and that is

00:17:49--> 00:17:51

what he presented to his guests. And that

00:17:51--> 00:17:53

is the way that you honor the people

00:17:53--> 00:17:55

that you should honor. And here Allah praises

00:17:55--> 00:17:57

these people because these are not guests for

00:17:57--> 00:17:58

who they give it to, Other people that

00:17:58--> 00:18:01

usually often you see, people just give things

00:18:01--> 00:18:03

that they don't need to. Old stuff, stuff

00:18:03--> 00:18:04

that's no longer of use. Those are the

00:18:04--> 00:18:06

things that people usually donate. Allah

00:18:07--> 00:18:09

praises these people because they give the best

00:18:09--> 00:18:11

of what they have to the orphans and

00:18:11--> 00:18:13

to the needy and to the captives. Captives

00:18:13--> 00:18:15

are prisoners of war, meaning they're not even

00:18:15--> 00:18:16

Muslims.

00:18:16--> 00:18:18

These are prisoners that you've taken from your

00:18:18--> 00:18:20

enemy, and they have some responsibility

00:18:21--> 00:18:21

also

00:18:22--> 00:18:24

over you, some rights over you. So from

00:18:24--> 00:18:26

those rights is that you look after them

00:18:26--> 00:18:27

in the way that Allah

00:18:27--> 00:18:29

has commanded. And so they give to them

00:18:29--> 00:18:31

also in a way that is befitting to

00:18:31--> 00:18:32

them.

00:18:33--> 00:18:35

By spending and feeding others, they seek the

00:18:35--> 00:18:38

pleasure of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala implicitly saying,

00:18:38--> 00:18:39

we feed you only for the sake of

00:18:39--> 00:18:42

Allah. We seek of you neither recompense nor

00:18:42--> 00:18:45

thanks. That is we seek neither financial recompense

00:18:45--> 00:18:46

nor verbal praise.

00:18:46--> 00:18:48

Verily, we fear from our lord a grim

00:18:49--> 00:18:52

That is very hard and evil and awful.

00:18:52--> 00:18:54

That is stress stressful and miserable day. And

00:18:54--> 00:18:55

this is one of the verses

00:18:56--> 00:18:58

that shows something which the prophet stressed

00:18:59--> 00:19:00

and repeated a number of times in the

00:19:00--> 00:19:02

sunnah. And that is the virtue and the

00:19:02--> 00:19:04

reward of feeding others. It is one of

00:19:04--> 00:19:06

the first things that the prophet said salallahu

00:19:06--> 00:19:07

alaihi wasallam when he came to Medina.

00:19:09--> 00:19:11

Feed people, give people food. It is something

00:19:11--> 00:19:14

which increases love, it is something which increases

00:19:14--> 00:19:15

brotherhood, it is something which increases

00:19:16--> 00:19:18

passion and and mercy, compassion and mercy amongst

00:19:18--> 00:19:21

people because people love food, naturally. So when

00:19:21--> 00:19:23

you gift from food and you give them

00:19:23--> 00:19:23

something,

00:19:23--> 00:19:25

as the prophet used to say to Abu

00:19:25--> 00:19:27

Dharr radhiallahu an, he said my khalil

00:19:28--> 00:19:28

said.

00:19:29--> 00:19:30

He told me to do a number of

00:19:30--> 00:19:32

things from them is that if you cook,

00:19:32--> 00:19:35

add extra water into your food or extra,

00:19:35--> 00:19:37

froth broth into your food and give it

00:19:37--> 00:19:39

to your to your neighbors. Or you have

00:19:39--> 00:19:41

a little of, make it some more and

00:19:41--> 00:19:43

give it to those people that are around

00:19:43--> 00:19:44

you. And Ibn Umar

00:19:44--> 00:19:46

based on this verse, it is said, and

00:19:46--> 00:19:48

verse is similar to it in a hadith

00:19:48--> 00:19:49

that he wouldn't break his fastness, there were

00:19:49--> 00:19:52

poor people with him. Refused to break his

00:19:52--> 00:19:53

fast. And if he came home and there

00:19:53--> 00:19:54

was no poor people and it was time

00:19:54--> 00:19:56

for iftar, he would take the food and

00:19:56--> 00:19:57

he would go and search for them. And

00:19:57--> 00:19:58

then he would find them and he would

00:19:58--> 00:20:01

break his fast with them. And so Allah

00:20:01--> 00:20:03

loves those people who who feed others.

00:20:13--> 00:20:16

Therefore, Allah will protect them from the evil

00:20:16--> 00:20:18

of that day and will bestow upon them

00:20:18--> 00:20:19

radiance and joy.

00:20:26--> 00:20:29

And we'll reward them for their patience and

00:20:29--> 00:20:29

steadfastness

00:20:30--> 00:20:32

with paradise and garments of silk.

00:20:44--> 00:20:46

Wherein they will recline on couches, they will

00:20:46--> 00:20:49

feel neither scorching heat nor bitter cold.

00:20:50--> 00:20:52

Therefore, Allah will protect them from the evil

00:20:52--> 00:20:54

of that day. So the greatest terror will

00:20:54--> 00:20:56

not grieve them and the angels will welcome

00:20:56--> 00:20:57

them saying, this is your day that you

00:20:57--> 00:21:00

were promised and will bestow upon them. That

00:21:00--> 00:21:02

is he will honor them and give them

00:21:02--> 00:21:04

radiance in their faces and joy in their

00:21:04--> 00:21:07

hearts, thus combining both outward and inward bliss,

00:21:07--> 00:21:09

and will reward them for their patience and

00:21:09--> 00:21:09

steadfastness

00:21:10--> 00:21:12

in obeying Allah. For they strove as much

00:21:12--> 00:21:14

as they they could in avoiding disobedience towards

00:21:14--> 00:21:17

Allah, so they refrained from sin and in

00:21:17--> 00:21:17

accepting,

00:21:18--> 00:21:20

the painful decrees of Allah. So they did

00:21:20--> 00:21:22

not complain about them. With paradise,

00:21:23--> 00:21:25

that that contains all bliss and is free

00:21:25--> 00:21:27

of all troubles and problems and garments of

00:21:27--> 00:21:28

silk. As Allah

00:21:29--> 00:21:31

says elsewhere, and their garments therein will be

00:21:31--> 00:21:34

of silk. Perhaps, Allah sing without silk for

00:21:34--> 00:21:36

mention because their outward dress will be indicative

00:21:36--> 00:21:39

of the condition of the wear wear

00:21:40--> 00:21:43

wherein they will recline on couches. Reclining means

00:21:43--> 00:21:46

sitting comfortably with ease and in a relaxed

00:21:46--> 00:21:48

manner. The word translated here as couches refers

00:21:48--> 00:21:51

to couches covered with adorned cloths.

00:21:51--> 00:21:54

They will feel in paradise neither scorching heat

00:21:55--> 00:21:57

that could that would cause them harm nor

00:21:57--> 00:21:59

bitter cold. At all times, they will be

00:21:59--> 00:22:01

in shade with no heat or cold

00:22:01--> 00:22:04

so that they may, they may feel physical

00:22:04--> 00:22:06

enjoyment with no pain or discomfort caused by

00:22:06--> 00:22:07

heat or cold.

00:22:16--> 00:22:19

Its shady branches will come down low over

00:22:19--> 00:22:22

them and its clusters of fruit will hang

00:22:22--> 00:22:23

within easy reach.

00:22:24--> 00:22:26

That is, its fruits will be near at

00:22:26--> 00:22:28

hand for anyone who wants them so that

00:22:28--> 00:22:30

he may take them whether he is standing,

00:22:30--> 00:22:32

sitting, or lying on his side. This meaning

00:22:32--> 00:22:34

is also this meaning of the ease of

00:22:34--> 00:22:36

the food and the provision of the people

00:22:36--> 00:22:38

of Jannah is repeated a number of times

00:22:38--> 00:22:40

in the sunnah. From them is the hadith

00:22:40--> 00:22:40

of the prophet

00:22:41--> 00:22:43

that if the birds of Jannah are flying

00:22:43--> 00:22:45

and a person wishes for them, he will

00:22:45--> 00:22:47

simply call towards 1 and it will come

00:22:47--> 00:22:49

to him as food by Allah's command.

00:22:50--> 00:22:51

And the hadith of the prophet about

00:22:52--> 00:22:54

the man who wants to plant in Jannah,

00:22:54--> 00:22:55

that he will plant his seed and the

00:22:55--> 00:22:57

seed will grow and he will harvest it

00:22:57--> 00:22:59

all within a single moment, if that is

00:22:59--> 00:23:00

something which he desires.

00:23:01--> 00:23:02

So that which the people wish to do

00:23:02--> 00:23:04

in jannah or wish to take in jannah,

00:23:05--> 00:23:06

Allah will make it easy for them. None

00:23:06--> 00:23:08

of the hard work, none of the waiting,

00:23:08--> 00:23:10

none of the time, none of the anxiety

00:23:10--> 00:23:12

and the stress that went into those things

00:23:12--> 00:23:14

in the dunya. They will all be removed

00:23:14--> 00:23:15

from them, and there will only be ease

00:23:15--> 00:23:16

and comfort.

00:23:28--> 00:23:31

Vessels of silver and goblets of crystal will

00:23:31--> 00:23:32

be passed around

00:23:33--> 00:23:34

among them.

00:23:41--> 00:23:44

Crystal clear, made of silver, filled to exact

00:23:44--> 00:23:44

measure.

00:23:45--> 00:23:47

They will be, they will be passed around

00:23:47--> 00:23:49

them around among the people of paradise

00:23:49--> 00:23:52

by their servants vessels of silver and goblets

00:23:52--> 00:23:55

of crystal. Crystal clear made of silver. That

00:23:55--> 00:23:57

is they will be made of silver, but

00:23:57--> 00:23:58

they will they will be as clear as

00:23:58--> 00:24:01

crystal. This is something most amazing that something

00:24:01--> 00:24:03

as dense and opaque

00:24:03--> 00:24:06

Opaque. Opaque as silver will be as clear

00:24:06--> 00:24:09

as crystal because it's so pure.

00:24:09--> 00:24:12

Filled to exact measure. They will be filled

00:24:12--> 00:24:13

to the exact measure as desired by the

00:24:13--> 00:24:14

people of paradise,

00:24:15--> 00:24:17

the amount that will be most pleasing to

00:24:17--> 00:24:19

them. So it will come to them exactly

00:24:19--> 00:24:21

as they thought of it in their minds.

00:24:21--> 00:24:22

And this is how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:24:22--> 00:24:24

describes the blessings of the people of Jannah

00:24:24--> 00:24:26

down to the smallest detail,

00:24:27--> 00:24:29

to the smallest, most intricate detail, even the

00:24:29--> 00:24:30

amount of drink that they want in their

00:24:30--> 00:24:32

vessels and their cup, it will be measured

00:24:32--> 00:24:35

according to their desires, without them having to

00:24:35--> 00:24:37

speak, without them having to request. Like when

00:24:37--> 00:24:38

you go to someone's home and they give

00:24:38--> 00:24:40

you a glass of water or some juice

00:24:40--> 00:24:41

and, like, not a bit more, not a

00:24:41--> 00:24:42

bit less, no, that's too much, no less

00:24:42--> 00:24:44

to do. Have to keep going over and

00:24:44--> 00:24:46

over again because no one knows what other

00:24:46--> 00:24:48

people's preferences are. But in

00:24:49--> 00:24:52

jannah even the measurements of jannah are precise.

00:24:52--> 00:24:53

The measurements

00:24:53--> 00:24:55

are perfect because it is all part of

00:24:55--> 00:24:57

the bliss of Jannah. So even the smallest

00:24:57--> 00:24:58

of details

00:24:58--> 00:24:59

and those things that most of us wouldn't

00:24:59--> 00:25:01

even think in terms of blessings,

00:25:01--> 00:25:03

Those are counted in Jannah because it was

00:25:03--> 00:25:06

not just about the food and the clothing

00:25:06--> 00:25:07

and even the manner in which it is

00:25:07--> 00:25:09

given and the amount in which it is

00:25:09--> 00:25:12

given. Everything Allah azza wa jal will make

00:25:12--> 00:25:12

perfect bliss.

00:25:21--> 00:25:22

Therein, they will be given

00:25:23--> 00:25:25

to to drink a cup of wine mixed

00:25:25--> 00:25:25

with ginger.

00:25:31--> 00:25:33

Drawn from a spring therein called.

00:25:34--> 00:25:36

Therein, in paradise, they will be given to

00:25:36--> 00:25:39

drink a cup of wine and nectar mixed

00:25:39--> 00:25:41

with ginger to make its taste and scent

00:25:41--> 00:25:42

good.

00:25:42--> 00:25:44

Drawn from a spring therein in paradise called.

00:25:45--> 00:25:47

It is called this because it is palatable,

00:25:47--> 00:25:50

delicious, and wholesome. Sal Sabir because it is

00:25:50--> 00:25:52

soft and it is palatable. In the Arabic

00:25:52--> 00:25:54

language, Sal Sabir is something which is easy,

00:25:54--> 00:25:56

goes down easily. And that's why a path

00:25:56--> 00:25:58

in the Arabic language is called a sabir

00:25:58--> 00:26:00

because it's easy to walk on. It's been

00:26:00--> 00:26:02

trodden on before. So this is a a

00:26:02--> 00:26:05

spring that Allah will place in for its

00:26:05--> 00:26:08

people, that its water or its drink, whatever

00:26:08--> 00:26:09

it may be, will be something which is

00:26:09--> 00:26:12

extremely delicious to its drinkers.

00:26:25--> 00:26:28

A mortal servant servant boys will circulate among

00:26:28--> 00:26:30

them. If you saw them, you would think

00:26:30--> 00:26:31

they were scattered pearls.

00:26:40--> 00:26:42

And if you were to look there, paradise,

00:26:43--> 00:26:44

you would you would see bliss and a

00:26:44--> 00:26:47

vast domain. Immortal servant boys who are created

00:26:47--> 00:26:49

in paradise to remain therein. They will never

00:26:49--> 00:26:51

change or grow old and they are very

00:26:51--> 00:26:53

handsome. And, therefore, the people of Jannah don't

00:26:53--> 00:26:55

need to serve one another.

00:26:55--> 00:26:57

Your wife no longer has to serve you

00:26:57--> 00:26:58

in Jannah. Your children don't have to come

00:26:58--> 00:27:00

and look after you in Jannah. Allah will

00:27:00--> 00:27:01

create for you servant boys.

00:27:02--> 00:27:02

The

00:27:04--> 00:27:06

immortal. They never age. They never become tired.

00:27:06--> 00:27:08

It is their job. Allah will create them

00:27:08--> 00:27:10

for this purpose that they will serve the

00:27:10--> 00:27:11

people of

00:27:11--> 00:27:12

Jannah, so that no one has to serve

00:27:12--> 00:27:14

another, or no one has to wait on

00:27:14--> 00:27:15

another, or no one has to help another.

00:27:15--> 00:27:17

Allah, ajazhu, will create for them servants that

00:27:17--> 00:27:19

will become part of their households just as

00:27:19--> 00:27:21

Allah will give to the believing that

00:27:22--> 00:27:24

Allah will create for them and make for

00:27:24--> 00:27:25

them and they will also be from their

00:27:25--> 00:27:26

household.

00:27:27--> 00:27:29

We'll circulate among them, that is among the

00:27:29--> 00:27:31

people of paradise, with their food and drink

00:27:31--> 00:27:33

to serve them. If you saw them spreading

00:27:33--> 00:27:35

out to serve the people, you would think

00:27:35--> 00:27:38

because of their beauty that they were scattered

00:27:38--> 00:27:40

pearls. This is a part of the pleasure

00:27:40--> 00:27:42

of the people of paradise, that their servants

00:27:42--> 00:27:43

will be immortal boys who are a pleasure

00:27:43--> 00:27:45

to look at. They will enter their houses

00:27:45--> 00:27:48

in complete safety and will bring whatever they

00:27:48--> 00:27:51

ask for and want and want. And if

00:27:51--> 00:27:52

you were to look

00:27:52--> 00:27:55

to look their paradise and you, and you

00:27:55--> 00:27:57

observe the bliss in which they live, you

00:27:57--> 00:27:59

will see bliss and a vast domain.

00:27:59--> 00:28:02

You will see that one of them possess

00:28:02--> 00:28:04

palaces, dwellings, and chambers that are adorned and

00:28:04--> 00:28:07

decorated in a manner that can barely be

00:28:07--> 00:28:07

described.

00:28:08--> 00:28:11

He will have blooming gardens, delicious fruits, hanging

00:28:11--> 00:28:13

within e within easy reach, flowing

00:28:13--> 00:28:16

rivers, amazing gardens, and birds that sing in

00:28:16--> 00:28:18

an enchanting manner, such as movies,

00:28:19--> 00:28:20

the heart and

00:28:20--> 00:28:22

such such as moves

00:28:22--> 00:28:24

such as moves the heart and brings joy

00:28:24--> 00:28:25

to the soul.

00:28:26--> 00:28:28

Will have wives who are extremely beautiful and

00:28:28--> 00:28:29

kind,

00:28:29--> 00:28:32

combining inner and outer beauty such as fills

00:28:32--> 00:28:34

the heart with joy and brings great pleasure

00:28:34--> 00:28:37

and delight. Around him will be immortal boys

00:28:37--> 00:28:40

and eternal servants bringing ease and comfort. Thus,

00:28:40--> 00:28:42

they will enjoy a life of complete pleasure

00:28:42--> 00:28:43

and perfect joy.

00:28:44--> 00:28:45

Describes for each person

00:28:45--> 00:28:46

in Jannah,

00:28:47--> 00:28:49

they will have their own kingdom.

00:28:49--> 00:28:51

There are hadith of the prophet

00:28:51--> 00:28:53

that a person will look out upon their

00:28:53--> 00:28:56

kingdom and it will stretch beyond their imagination.

00:28:56--> 00:28:58

If they wanted to ride to it, they

00:28:58--> 00:28:59

could go to it. But in terms of

00:28:59--> 00:29:02

our length, it is 100 of years long

00:29:02--> 00:29:03

in terms of being able to go one

00:29:03--> 00:29:05

side of that kingdom to another. That is

00:29:05--> 00:29:06

for every person. And just look at the

00:29:06--> 00:29:09

hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam about

00:29:09--> 00:29:10

the last man who will enter to Jannah,

00:29:10--> 00:29:11

the hadith of Uhura.

00:29:12--> 00:29:13

That when he enters into Jannah, Allah says

00:29:13--> 00:29:15

for you is everything in the dunya

00:29:16--> 00:29:18

and double its amount. Abu Sayed radiya allahu

00:29:18--> 00:29:20

an said, oh, Abu Hurairah, I heard the

00:29:20--> 00:29:22

same hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam,

00:29:22--> 00:29:24

but I heard him say for you is

00:29:24--> 00:29:26

the dunya and 10 times its amount. And

00:29:26--> 00:29:28

that's the least of the people of Jannah.

00:29:28--> 00:29:30

That's his kingdom. Ten times like the dunya,

00:29:30--> 00:29:32

how long does it take you to walk

00:29:32--> 00:29:34

or to travel the whole dunya? Ten times

00:29:34--> 00:29:35

it's like, that's the least of the people

00:29:35--> 00:29:37

of Jannah. And that's what Allah says for

00:29:37--> 00:29:38

every one of them,

00:29:40--> 00:29:41

a vast kingdom,

00:29:41--> 00:29:42

a kingdom beyond your imagination.

00:29:43--> 00:29:45

So whether it's wealth you want, whether it's

00:29:45--> 00:29:47

blessings you want, whether it's whether it's it's

00:29:47--> 00:29:49

kingdom or power that you want, Allah will

00:29:49--> 00:29:51

give to the people of Jannah that which

00:29:51--> 00:29:53

they will have in the best of forms.

00:29:54--> 00:29:56

Over and above all, that will be the

00:29:56--> 00:29:58

greatest joy of seeing the most merciful lord,

00:29:58--> 00:29:59

hearing his word,

00:30:00--> 00:30:02

delighting in closeness to him, and rejoicing in

00:30:02--> 00:30:05

attaining his pleasure and eternal life that constantly

00:30:05--> 00:30:07

increases in bliss at every moment. And that

00:30:07--> 00:30:09

is the greatest of the joys of the

00:30:09--> 00:30:11

believer, as in this world. The greatest joy

00:30:11--> 00:30:13

of the believers to worship their lord, to

00:30:13--> 00:30:15

prostrate before him, to make dua to him,

00:30:15--> 00:30:17

to see closeness to him. Then on your

00:30:18--> 00:30:20

in Jannah, the greatest of reward that they

00:30:20--> 00:30:22

will be given is likewise to see closeness

00:30:22--> 00:30:22

to Allah

00:30:22--> 00:30:24

as the prophet said

00:30:24--> 00:30:26

in the hadith that the people of Jannah,

00:30:26--> 00:30:27

Allah will come to them and he will

00:30:27--> 00:30:29

say, shall I give you more? And they

00:30:29--> 00:30:30

will say, oh Allah, more is there to

00:30:30--> 00:30:32

give. Have you not saved us from the

00:30:32--> 00:30:34

fire and given us Jannah? Have you not

00:30:34--> 00:30:36

given us everything that I that we want

00:30:36--> 00:30:38

and can possibly need? Allah, azzawajal, said, but

00:30:38--> 00:30:40

I will give to you my pleasure. Never

00:30:40--> 00:30:42

again will I be angry upon you. The

00:30:42--> 00:30:44

prophet said, never will the people of Jannah

00:30:44--> 00:30:46

have been given a blessing greater than that

00:30:46--> 00:30:49

blessing. Because that is the ultimate closeness, that

00:30:49--> 00:30:50

someone says to you, it doesn't matter what

00:30:50--> 00:30:52

you do now, I will always be pleased

00:30:52--> 00:30:54

with you, always love you. You can never

00:30:54--> 00:30:56

upset me. And so Allah will give that

00:30:56--> 00:30:58

reward to the people of Jannah. May Allah

00:30:58--> 00:30:58

make

00:31:00--> 00:31:02

us from them. Glory be to the sovereign

00:31:02--> 00:31:05

Lord, the clear truth whose store whose stores

00:31:05--> 00:31:08

never run out and whose generosity never decreases.

00:31:08--> 00:31:10

Just as there is no end to his

00:31:10--> 00:31:12

to his attribute, there's no end to his

00:31:12--> 00:31:13

kindness and generosity.

00:31:30--> 00:31:32

They will wear green garments of fine silk

00:31:32--> 00:31:33

and heavy brocade

00:31:34--> 00:31:36

and will be adorned with bracelets of silver,

00:31:36--> 00:31:38

and their lord will give them to drink

00:31:38--> 00:31:39

a pure beverage.

00:31:39--> 00:31:42

They will wear green garments of fine silk

00:31:42--> 00:31:44

and heavy brocade. That is, they will be

00:31:44--> 00:31:46

covered in green garments of fine silk and

00:31:46--> 00:31:48

heavy brocade, which are the finest types of

00:31:48--> 00:31:50

silk and will be adorned with bracelets of

00:31:50--> 00:31:53

silver. That is they will wear braces, of

00:31:53--> 00:31:55

silver on their arms, both males and females.

00:31:55--> 00:31:57

This is a promise that Allah has made

00:31:57--> 00:31:58

to them and his promise will come to

00:31:58--> 00:32:00

pass because no one is truer in speech

00:32:00--> 00:32:02

or in word than him. And their lord

00:32:02--> 00:32:04

will give them to drink a pure beverage

00:32:04--> 00:32:06

that is one in which there is no

00:32:06--> 00:32:08

impurity or contamination.

00:32:08--> 00:32:10

It will cleanse their hearts of all hurt

00:32:10--> 00:32:11

and pain.

00:32:22--> 00:32:24

It will be said to them, this is

00:32:24--> 00:32:26

your reward, for your endeavors are appreciated.

00:32:27--> 00:32:28

It will be said to them, this is

00:32:28--> 00:32:30

your reward. That is, this great reward and

00:32:30--> 00:32:33

beautiful gift is yours for what you sent

00:32:33--> 00:32:35

on ahead of good deeds, for your endeavors

00:32:35--> 00:32:38

and for your endeavors are appreciated. That is

00:32:38--> 00:32:40

for a little effort, Allah has granted you

00:32:40--> 00:32:41

eternal bliss that cannot be

00:32:43--> 00:32:44

enumerated.

00:32:44--> 00:32:45

How Allah

00:32:46--> 00:32:47

promises

00:32:47--> 00:32:50

these blessings to the people of Jannah and

00:32:50--> 00:32:51

to the believers in the dunya if they

00:32:51--> 00:32:53

stay upon the path of Tawhid, the path

00:32:53--> 00:32:55

of righteous deeds. Look at how the prophet

00:32:55--> 00:32:57

salallahu alayhi wasallam used to recite this surah

00:32:57--> 00:32:59

every single Friday in the Fajr salah of

00:32:59--> 00:33:02

the Friday as a reminder to people, because

00:33:02--> 00:33:03

believers need reminding

00:33:03--> 00:33:05

of what it is that they're doing and

00:33:05--> 00:33:06

why they're doing it, and what is their

00:33:06--> 00:33:08

objective, and what they hope to achieve by

00:33:08--> 00:33:10

Allah's permission. So the prophet used to choose

00:33:10--> 00:33:12

these surahs that speak about jannah, that speak

00:33:12--> 00:33:14

about qiyama, that remind people of the standing

00:33:14--> 00:33:18

before Allah because it's something which reminds you,

00:33:18--> 00:33:20

motivates you, something which encourages you. Look at

00:33:20--> 00:33:23

these beautiful descriptions of Jannah. Aren't they worthy

00:33:23--> 00:33:24

of being read once a week, every week

00:33:24--> 00:33:26

that you remind yourself, this is what I

00:33:26--> 00:33:28

pray for, this is why I give zakat,

00:33:28--> 00:33:29

this is what I do what I do,

00:33:29--> 00:33:30

this is why I do the halal and

00:33:30--> 00:33:32

stay away from the haram, this is why

00:33:32--> 00:33:33

I obey Allah azza wa jal, this is

00:33:33--> 00:33:34

why I sacrifice,

00:33:35--> 00:33:36

This is why I leave my temptations and

00:33:36--> 00:33:39

desires. It is for these rewards that we

00:33:39--> 00:33:40

want to be from amongst those people.

00:33:49--> 00:33:51

Verily it is we who have sent down

00:33:51--> 00:33:53

the Quran to you piecemeal.

00:33:54--> 00:33:57

Having mentioned the bliss of paradise, Allah Subhanahu

00:33:57--> 00:33:59

Wa Ta'ala now says, verily is we who

00:33:59--> 00:34:01

have sent down the Quran to you piecemeal,

00:34:02--> 00:34:04

which contains a promise and a warning and

00:34:04--> 00:34:06

an explanation of all that people need to

00:34:06--> 00:34:07

know.

00:34:07--> 00:34:10

It contains instructions to comply with Allah's commands

00:34:10--> 00:34:12

and laws in the most perfect manner to

00:34:12--> 00:34:14

strive to implement them and to be patient

00:34:14--> 00:34:17

and steadfast in doing so. Hence, Allah says,

00:34:25--> 00:34:26

So be patient with the decree of your

00:34:26--> 00:34:29

lord and do not yield to any sinner

00:34:29--> 00:34:30

or disbeliever

00:34:30--> 00:34:31

among them.

00:34:31--> 00:34:34

That is be patient in accepting the decree

00:34:34--> 00:34:36

of Allah without complaining about it and in

00:34:36--> 00:34:38

accepting his religious rulings

00:34:38--> 00:34:40

and comply with them. And do not let

00:34:40--> 00:34:42

any obstacle prevent you from doing so. And

00:34:42--> 00:34:44

do not yield to anyone among the stubborn

00:34:44--> 00:34:46

who want to borrow you from his path.

00:34:46--> 00:34:48

To any sinner, that is one who commits

00:34:48--> 00:34:51

sin and does acts does acts of disobedience

00:34:51--> 00:34:54

or disbeliever. For yielding to the disbelievers, evildoers,

00:34:54--> 00:34:57

and mischief makers will inevitably have to do

00:34:57--> 00:34:59

with sin, for they do not enjoin anything

00:34:59--> 00:35:02

but what they themselves desire desire.

00:35:08--> 00:35:10

And remember the name of your Lord morning

00:35:10--> 00:35:10

and afternoon.

00:35:17--> 00:35:19

And during the night, prostrate to Him and

00:35:19--> 00:35:21

glorify him a long part of the night.

00:35:21--> 00:35:24

Because patience would help him to worship Allah

00:35:24--> 00:35:26

and remember him a great deal. Allah enjoined

00:35:26--> 00:35:29

that that upon him and and said, and

00:35:29--> 00:35:31

remember the name of your lord morning and

00:35:31--> 00:35:33

afternoon. That is at the beginning and end

00:35:33--> 00:35:35

of the day which includes the obligatory prayers

00:35:35--> 00:35:37

and what accompanies them of superrogatory

00:35:38--> 00:35:42

prayers. As well as remembering Allah. Glorifying your,

00:35:42--> 00:35:45

glorifying Allah, proclaiming his oneness and magnifying him

00:35:45--> 00:35:48

at those times. And during the night, prostrate

00:35:48--> 00:35:50

to him. That is prostrate to him a

00:35:50--> 00:35:52

great deal and that can only be done

00:35:52--> 00:35:54

by offering a lot of prayers. Look at

00:35:54--> 00:35:57

how Allah has been repeated in Surah Al

00:35:57--> 00:35:57

Muzammi.

00:35:59--> 00:36:01

Allah is saying that in order for you

00:36:01--> 00:36:03

to attain these rewards of Jannah, you have

00:36:03--> 00:36:05

to be patient. Patient in the dunya, patient

00:36:05--> 00:36:07

upon Allah's decrees, patient upon tests and trials.

00:36:07--> 00:36:09

What will help you to attain that patience?

00:36:09--> 00:36:12

2 things that Allah always mentions. Number 1

00:36:12--> 00:36:13

is the dhikr of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:36:13--> 00:36:15

and his remembrance. And number 2 is the

00:36:15--> 00:36:18

salah and especially the salah of the night.

00:36:20--> 00:36:22

Spend the night, some of it, awake in

00:36:22--> 00:36:24

prayer as Allah said to the prophet and

00:36:24--> 00:36:26

the companions as we mentioned at the end

00:36:26--> 00:36:27

of Surah Al Muzammil.

00:36:28--> 00:36:30

And glorify him along part of the night.

00:36:30--> 00:36:32

We have seen above specific mention of the

00:36:32--> 00:36:34

length of time, which is referred to here

00:36:34--> 00:36:36

in general terms. Oh, you who are unwrapped

00:36:36--> 00:36:38

in garments, stand up in prayer throughout the

00:36:38--> 00:36:40

night, except a little.

00:36:54--> 00:36:57

Verily these disbelievers love this present life and

00:36:57--> 00:36:58

pay no heed to a day that will

00:36:58--> 00:37:00

be arduous arduous.

00:37:01--> 00:37:03

Verily these disbelievers who reject you, oh messenger,

00:37:04--> 00:37:06

after you explained the revelations to them and

00:37:06--> 00:37:09

after they received promises and warnings, yet they

00:37:09--> 00:37:11

did not benefit from that at all. Rather,

00:37:11--> 00:37:14

they continue to give precedence to this, present

00:37:14--> 00:37:17

life and remain remain content with it. And

00:37:17--> 00:37:19

they pay no heed. That is, they fail

00:37:19--> 00:37:21

to strive and they neglect

00:37:21--> 00:37:22

a day that will be arduous.

00:37:23--> 00:37:25

Namely, the day of resurrection, the length of

00:37:25--> 00:37:27

which is 50 1000 years according to your

00:37:27--> 00:37:30

reckoning. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says elsewhere, the

00:37:30--> 00:37:30

disbelievers will say

00:37:31--> 00:37:33

this will be a hard day. So it

00:37:33--> 00:37:35

is as if they are they were only

00:37:35--> 00:37:38

created for this world to settle in it.

00:37:38--> 00:37:40

Then Allah gives them rational evidence for the

00:37:40--> 00:37:42

resurrection, which is the evidence of their initial

00:37:42--> 00:37:42

creation.

00:37:57--> 00:37:59

It is we who created them and made

00:37:59--> 00:38:01

them strong. If we so willed, we could

00:38:01--> 00:38:04

replace them completely with others like them.

00:38:04--> 00:38:06

It is we who created them from nothing

00:38:06--> 00:38:08

and made them strong. That is, we made

00:38:08--> 00:38:11

we made them strong and perfected their creation

00:38:11--> 00:38:12

with sinews,

00:38:13--> 00:38:15

veins, arteries, and visible

00:38:15--> 00:38:18

and hidden strength until their bodies were perfected

00:38:18--> 00:38:20

and completed, and they were able to do

00:38:20--> 00:38:22

anything they wanted. The one who created them

00:38:22--> 00:38:24

in this manner is able to recreate them

00:38:24--> 00:38:26

after their death in order to requite them,

00:38:26--> 00:38:28

and it is not appropriate that the one

00:38:28--> 00:38:31

who caused them to, to pass through these

00:38:31--> 00:38:32

stages would leave them unchecked

00:38:32--> 00:38:35

with no commands or prohibitions, no reward or

00:38:35--> 00:38:37

punishment. Hence, he says, if we so willed,

00:38:38--> 00:38:40

we could replace them completely with other with

00:38:40--> 00:38:43

others like them. That is, we could resurrect

00:38:43--> 00:38:45

them in a different form or recreate recreate

00:38:45--> 00:38:46

them exactly.

00:38:59--> 00:39:01

Verily, this is a reminder. So let him

00:39:01--> 00:39:03

who will start his journey towards his Lord.

00:39:14--> 00:39:15

Allah.

00:39:20--> 00:39:22

But you cannot but you cannot will it

00:39:22--> 00:39:25

unless Allah so wills. Verily Allah is our

00:39:25--> 00:39:26

knowing most wise.

00:39:37--> 00:39:39

He admits whoever he wills to his mercy

00:39:40--> 00:39:41

And for the wrongdoers, he has prepared a

00:39:41--> 00:39:42

painful punishment.

00:39:42--> 00:39:44

Verily, this is a reminder. That is to

00:39:44--> 00:39:46

remind the believer so that he may benefit

00:39:46--> 00:39:48

from what it contains of warnings and encouragement.

00:39:49--> 00:39:50

So let him who will start his journey

00:39:50--> 00:39:53

towards his lord. That is let him follow

00:39:53--> 00:39:55

a path that leads him for Allah explains

00:39:55--> 00:39:57

the truth and guidance. He then he gives

00:39:57--> 00:40:00

people the choice between following that guidance or

00:40:00--> 00:40:02

turning away from it whilst establishing proof against

00:40:02--> 00:40:04

them. But you cannot will it unless Allah

00:40:04--> 00:40:07

so wills. For Allah's will is always done.

00:40:07--> 00:40:09

Verily, Allah is our knowing most wise. He

00:40:09--> 00:40:11

is he is possessed of he is possessed

00:40:11--> 00:40:14

of great wisdom with regard to those whom

00:40:14--> 00:40:16

he guides and those whom he leaves to

00:40:16--> 00:40:16

stray.

00:40:17--> 00:40:19

He admits whomever he wills to his mercy,

00:40:19--> 00:40:22

and he bestows his care upon him and

00:40:22--> 00:40:24

guides him to the means and paths that

00:40:24--> 00:40:26

lead to bliss. And for the wrongdoers

00:40:26--> 00:40:29

who choose doom over guidance, he has prepared

00:40:29--> 00:40:31

a painful punishment because of their wrongdoing and

00:40:31--> 00:40:32

transgression.

00:40:32--> 00:40:33

This is the end of the commentary of

00:40:33--> 00:40:35

Surah Al Insan. Our praise and thanks are

00:40:35--> 00:40:37

for Allah and may the blessings and peace

00:40:37--> 00:40:39

of Allah be upon the prophet Muhammad sallallahu

00:40:39--> 00:40:42

alaihi wasallam, his family and his companions abundantly

00:40:42--> 00:40:43

until the day of judgment. When I come

00:40:43--> 00:40:46

to the 8 tafsir of the 77th surah

00:40:46--> 00:40:48

of the Quran, Surah Al Mursalat, and it

00:40:48--> 00:40:50

is known by this name in the books

00:40:50--> 00:40:52

of tafsir and the narrations of the companions

00:40:52--> 00:40:54

and in the Hadith, Al Mursalat or Wal

00:40:54--> 00:40:55

Mursalat.

00:40:55--> 00:40:57

And it is a according to the majority

00:40:57--> 00:40:59

of the scholars of Islam such as Ibn

00:40:59--> 00:41:02

Abbas and Ibn Mas'ud from the companions and

00:41:02--> 00:41:03

those who follow them such as Al Qurtubi

00:41:03--> 00:41:04

and others.

00:41:04--> 00:41:06

And it consists of 50 verses.

00:41:12--> 00:41:14

In the name of Allah, the most gracious,

00:41:14--> 00:41:15

the most merciful.

00:41:18--> 00:41:20

By those sent forth with beneficence.

00:41:24--> 00:41:25

And those that strike violently.

00:41:29--> 00:41:32

By those who scatter far and wide.

00:41:36--> 00:41:38

And those angels who bring criterion.

00:41:43--> 00:41:44

By those who deliver a reminder.

00:41:48--> 00:41:50

Leaving no excuse and giving warning.

00:41:56--> 00:41:57

What are you what what

00:41:58--> 00:42:00

you are promised will surely come to pass.

00:42:05--> 00:42:06

So when the stars are extinguished.

00:42:12--> 00:42:14

And when the sky is torn apart.

00:42:18--> 00:42:20

And when the mountains are scattered like dust.

00:42:25--> 00:42:26

And when the messengers are summoned.

00:42:31--> 00:42:34

Until what day have these events been deferred?

00:42:39--> 00:42:40

Until the day of judgment.

00:42:47--> 00:42:49

And how could you know what the day

00:42:49--> 00:42:50

of judgment is?

00:42:56--> 00:42:58

Woe that day to the deniers.

00:42:58--> 00:43:00

Here Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, attest to this

00:43:00--> 00:43:02

to the resurrection and required for deeds by

00:43:02--> 00:43:05

means of an oath, swearing by those,

00:43:05--> 00:43:08

swearing by those sent forth with beneficence.

00:43:08--> 00:43:10

Namely the angels whom Allah

00:43:11--> 00:43:13

sends to carry out his decrees and control

00:43:13--> 00:43:16

the universe and to convey his religious decree

00:43:16--> 00:43:17

by bringing his revelation

00:43:17--> 00:43:19

to his messengers. What we find in the

00:43:19--> 00:43:21

beginning of the surah is something which is

00:43:21--> 00:43:23

commonly found in the Quran, and that is

00:43:23--> 00:43:24

that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala often takes an

00:43:24--> 00:43:26

oath by his creations

00:43:26--> 00:43:29

by using their descriptions and their attributes and

00:43:29--> 00:43:30

not naming them.

00:43:30--> 00:43:32

Many surahs are like the Surah al Safat,

00:43:32--> 00:43:34

Surah al Mursalat, Surah al Adiyat.

00:43:35--> 00:43:36

Allah describes

00:43:36--> 00:43:39

p or describes creation, but he doesn't mention

00:43:39--> 00:43:40

what it is. What is the creation that

00:43:40--> 00:43:43

Allah is describing? Allah doesn't say angels here.

00:43:43--> 00:43:45

Allah doesn't say, if there are angels in

00:43:45--> 00:43:47

Surah Safaat. Allah doesn't say horses or camels

00:43:47--> 00:43:49

in Surah Al A'ati. Allah doesn't name them.

00:43:49--> 00:43:51

Allah gives you descriptions

00:43:51--> 00:43:53

of these creations, and that is why often

00:43:53--> 00:43:55

you will find different positions amongst the scholars

00:43:55--> 00:43:57

of tafsir as to what is being referred

00:43:57--> 00:43:59

to. In this particular Surah, when Allah describes

00:44:00--> 00:44:02

at the beginning of these verses certain attributes

00:44:02--> 00:44:02

and characteristics,

00:44:03--> 00:44:05

Who is Allah describing which creation?

00:44:06--> 00:44:07

The position of a number of the companions

00:44:07--> 00:44:10

such as Ibn Mus'ud and Abu Hurair radiAllahu

00:44:10--> 00:44:11

an. The position that is chosen by the

00:44:11--> 00:44:13

author and before him the likes of Tabari

00:44:13--> 00:44:15

and others is that it's the angels of

00:44:15--> 00:44:15

Allah

00:44:16--> 00:44:17

They're the ones that come with good. They're

00:44:17--> 00:44:19

the ones that come by Allah's permission with

00:44:19--> 00:44:21

violence and punishment. They're the ones that do

00:44:21--> 00:44:22

as Allah commands.

00:44:22--> 00:44:24

The other position amongst the scholars of tafsir

00:44:25--> 00:44:26

that you will find chosen by the likes

00:44:26--> 00:44:27

of Ibn Kathir

00:44:28--> 00:44:30

and the teacher of our teacher, Sheikh Mohammed

00:44:30--> 00:44:31

Al Amin al Shulkati, Rahimahullah,

00:44:32--> 00:44:34

is that it is the wind that Allah

00:44:34--> 00:44:34

is describing.

00:44:35--> 00:44:36

Allah is describing the wind and not the

00:44:36--> 00:44:39

angels. And both of them are possible because

00:44:39--> 00:44:40

these descriptions

00:44:40--> 00:44:42

apply to both. And so the position of

00:44:42--> 00:44:43

the scholars of tafsir is that if it

00:44:43--> 00:44:45

can be both, both are signs from the

00:44:45--> 00:44:47

signs of Allah The angels are a major

00:44:47--> 00:44:49

sign of Allah. The wind and the way

00:44:49--> 00:44:51

that it comes sometimes with mercy and sometimes

00:44:51--> 00:44:53

with punishment is also from the signs of

00:44:53--> 00:44:55

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:44:55--> 00:44:58

With beneficent. This describes those who are sent

00:44:59--> 00:45:01

forth. What is meant is that they are

00:45:01--> 00:45:03

sent forth with what is right, with wisdom,

00:45:03--> 00:45:05

and with that which is in people's best

00:45:05--> 00:45:07

interest. They are not sent with anything bad

00:45:07--> 00:45:08

or in vain.

00:45:08--> 00:45:10

And those that strike violently,

00:45:10--> 00:45:12

This also refers to the angels whom Allah

00:45:12--> 00:45:15

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala sends and whom he describes

00:45:15--> 00:45:17

as hastening to do as he commands, quickly

00:45:17--> 00:45:20

carrying out his commands like a strong wind.

00:45:20--> 00:45:23

This also refer this also this may also

00:45:23--> 00:45:25

refer to powerful winds that have strong gusts.

00:45:25--> 00:45:27

And this is something which we just mentioned.

00:45:27--> 00:45:29

And one of the nice things about the

00:45:29--> 00:45:30

tafsir is that the author, if he finds

00:45:30--> 00:45:33

amongst the salaf that they differed over something,

00:45:33--> 00:45:35

both positions are strong. You have companions in

00:45:35--> 00:45:37

Tabireen that said both. He always mentions both

00:45:37--> 00:45:39

as we've seen. He'll choose his position that

00:45:39--> 00:45:41

he thinks is the stronger one, but he

00:45:41--> 00:45:43

say and he may also refer to. Because

00:45:43--> 00:45:45

you have scholars of of major scholars of

00:45:45--> 00:45:47

tafsir that took that position from amongst the

00:45:47--> 00:45:50

early salaf. And as we said often you

00:45:50--> 00:45:51

can make a reconciliation

00:45:51--> 00:45:54

because the descriptions apply to both. And so

00:45:54--> 00:45:57

we can say that Allah is describing angels

00:45:57--> 00:45:59

and is also describing the wind, and Allah

00:45:59--> 00:46:01

knows best. By those who scatter far and

00:46:01--> 00:46:03

wide, it may be that this refers to

00:46:03--> 00:46:05

the angels who scatter what they what they

00:46:05--> 00:46:07

are meant to scatter. The word translated as

00:46:07--> 00:46:10

scatter may also mean revive. In which case,

00:46:10--> 00:46:12

it may refer to the clouds by means

00:46:12--> 00:46:14

of which Allah revives the earth and brings

00:46:14--> 00:46:16

it back to life after its death. By

00:46:16--> 00:46:18

those who deliver a reminder, this this refers

00:46:18--> 00:46:20

to the angels who bring down the most

00:46:20--> 00:46:23

sublime of commands, namely the reminder, revelation, by

00:46:23--> 00:46:25

means of which Allah bestows mercy upon his

00:46:25--> 00:46:28

slaves and reminds them of that which will

00:46:28--> 00:46:30

benefit them and is in their best interest.

00:46:30--> 00:46:32

Those angels bring it down to the messengers,

00:46:33--> 00:46:35

leaving no excuse and giving and giving warning

00:46:35--> 00:46:38

to people. They warn people of what lies

00:46:38--> 00:46:40

ahead of frightening things and leave them no

00:46:40--> 00:46:42

excuse so that they will have no argument

00:46:42--> 00:46:44

before Allah. What you are promised

00:46:45--> 00:46:47

of the resurrection and required for deeds will

00:46:47--> 00:46:49

surely come to pass. That is, it is

00:46:49--> 00:46:51

inevitable beyond any shadow of a doubt. When

00:46:51--> 00:46:53

it comes to pass, there will be changes

00:46:53--> 00:46:55

in there will be changes in the universe

00:46:55--> 00:46:57

and immense horror that will that will be

00:46:57--> 00:47:00

extremely alarming and will cause great distress. The

00:47:00--> 00:47:02

stars will be extinguished. That is, they will

00:47:02--> 00:47:04

be scattered and moved

00:47:04--> 00:47:05

from their places.

00:47:06--> 00:47:08

The mountains will be blown away and will

00:47:08--> 00:47:10

become like scattered dust, and they and the

00:47:10--> 00:47:13

earth will become a smooth leveled plain in

00:47:13--> 00:47:15

which you will see no depression or elevation.

00:47:16--> 00:47:17

That day is the day on which the

00:47:17--> 00:47:20

messengers will be summoned. The day until

00:47:20--> 00:47:23

the day until which judgment between them and

00:47:23--> 00:47:25

their nations is deferred. Hence, Allah says, until

00:47:25--> 00:47:27

what day have these events been deferred? This

00:47:27--> 00:47:29

appears in the form of a question in

00:47:29--> 00:47:31

order to highlight the gravity and seriousness of

00:47:31--> 00:47:33

the matter. Then Allah answers that question by

00:47:33--> 00:47:35

saying, until the day of judgment between all

00:47:35--> 00:47:37

creatures, between one and another between one and

00:47:37--> 00:47:40

another and the day of reckoning for each

00:47:40--> 00:47:42

of them individually. From the names of the

00:47:42--> 00:47:45

day of judgment, Yomul Qiyamah is Yomul Fassal.

00:47:45--> 00:47:48

And in the Arabic language means to distinguish

00:47:48--> 00:47:48

and to discern.

00:47:49--> 00:47:51

And so the translation here, until the day

00:47:51--> 00:47:53

of judgment, isn't the correct translation.

00:48:00--> 00:48:03

Distinguish between all creatures, between one and another,

00:48:03--> 00:48:04

and the day of reckoning for each of

00:48:04--> 00:48:06

them individually. Because on that day, Allah will

00:48:06--> 00:48:09

distinguish between the believers and the disbelievers.

00:48:09--> 00:48:11

And so it is from the names of

00:48:11--> 00:48:13

Yom Qiyamah Yomul Fassal.

00:48:13--> 00:48:15

Then he went then he warns those who

00:48:15--> 00:48:18

deny in that day, Woe that day to

00:48:18--> 00:48:20

the deniers. That is how great will will

00:48:20--> 00:48:22

be their loss, how severe their punishment, and

00:48:22--> 00:48:23

how terrible their end.

00:48:24--> 00:48:26

Allah told them of it and swore to

00:48:26--> 00:48:28

them that it would surely come, but they

00:48:28--> 00:48:30

did not believe him. Therefore, they will deserve

00:48:30--> 00:48:32

the the severe punishment. On this verse,

00:48:33--> 00:48:35

all that data that denies is repeated a

00:48:35--> 00:48:37

number of times in this Surah. And as

00:48:37--> 00:48:39

we mentioned before, it is a principle of

00:48:39--> 00:48:41

the Quran that if something is repeated a

00:48:41--> 00:48:43

number of times in the Surah, it is

00:48:43--> 00:48:45

important to draw attention to it, meaning that

00:48:45--> 00:48:47

there will be no severe or greater loss

00:48:47--> 00:48:49

than the loss experienced by these people, the

00:48:49--> 00:48:51

disbelievers on the day of judgment when they

00:48:51--> 00:48:52

will see the reality of the punishment of

00:48:52--> 00:48:55

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And some of the

00:48:55--> 00:48:56

scholars used to pair the surah with Surah

00:48:56--> 00:48:57

Al Rahman,

00:48:58--> 00:49:00

because Surah Al Rahman speaks about Allah's blessings.

00:49:00--> 00:49:02

And the verse is repeated over and over

00:49:02--> 00:49:02

again.

00:49:05--> 00:49:07

Whichever Allah's favors will you deny Allah's grace

00:49:07--> 00:49:10

and bounty upon you. And here in

00:49:10--> 00:49:13

the opposite warning, woe to those who deny.

00:49:13--> 00:49:15

Woe to those who reject and disbelieve.

00:49:20--> 00:49:23

Did we not destroy the earlier disbelieving nations?

00:49:28--> 00:49:30

And we will do likewise to and we

00:49:30--> 00:49:31

will do likewise to later

00:49:31--> 00:49:32

to later ones.

00:49:37--> 00:49:39

Thus, we deal with the with the evildoers.

00:49:44--> 00:49:46

All that data deniers.

00:49:55--> 00:49:57

This is his way of dealing with the

00:49:57--> 00:49:58

earlier and later generations.

00:49:59--> 00:50:02

Every evildoer is inevitably punished, so why do

00:50:02--> 00:50:04

they not learn from what they see and

00:50:04--> 00:50:06

hear Woe that day to the deniers who

00:50:06--> 00:50:08

denied the truth after they saw the clear

00:50:08--> 00:50:09

signs and exemplary

00:50:10--> 00:50:10

punishments.

00:50:16--> 00:50:17

Did

00:50:21--> 00:50:22

They do not create you from an insignificant

00:50:23--> 00:50:23

fluid.

00:50:30--> 00:50:31

Which we placed in a safe

00:50:32--> 00:50:32

repository.

00:50:37--> 00:50:38

For an appointed term.

00:50:43--> 00:50:45

For we are able to do this, how

00:50:45--> 00:50:47

excellent is our power.

00:50:53--> 00:50:54

All that data deniers.

00:50:55--> 00:50:56

That is, do they not create you or

00:50:56--> 00:50:59

humans from an insignificant fluid? That is one

00:50:59--> 00:51:01

that is regarded as very base that originates

00:51:01--> 00:51:03

from between the backbone and the ribs until

00:51:03--> 00:51:04

Allah places it in

00:51:05--> 00:51:08

a safe repository, namely the womb, where it

00:51:08--> 00:51:10

settles and grows for an appointed term and

00:51:10--> 00:51:12

a set and a set length of time.

00:51:13--> 00:51:14

For we are able to do this, and

00:51:14--> 00:51:16

we care for that fetus

00:51:17--> 00:51:19

in those layers of darkness, transforming it from

00:51:19--> 00:51:21

a drop of semen to a clinging clot

00:51:21--> 00:51:23

to a lump of flesh until Allah makes

00:51:23--> 00:51:26

it a fully developed body. Then he breathes

00:51:26--> 00:51:28

the soul into it and some of them

00:51:28--> 00:51:30

die before that. How excellent is our power

00:51:31--> 00:51:33

that operates in accordance with his wisdom. Woe

00:51:33--> 00:51:35

that day to the deniers who deny the

00:51:35--> 00:51:37

truth after Allah has explained the signs to

00:51:37--> 00:51:39

them and shown them lessons and clear proof.

00:51:44--> 00:51:46

Have we not made the earth a receptacle

00:51:46--> 00:51:47

a receptacle?

00:51:53--> 00:51:55

For the living and the dead.

00:52:07--> 00:52:09

And sit there in lofty mountains,

00:52:09--> 00:52:12

standing firm and giving you fresh water to

00:52:12--> 00:52:12

drink.

00:52:18--> 00:52:21

Owe that day to the deniers. That is,

00:52:21--> 00:52:23

have we not blessed you and bestowed favors

00:52:23--> 00:52:25

upon you by subjugating the earth in your

00:52:25--> 00:52:26

best interest?

00:52:26--> 00:52:29

Therefore, we made it a receptacle for you,

00:52:29--> 00:52:30

for the living in houses

00:52:31--> 00:52:32

and the dead in graves.

00:52:33--> 00:52:34

Meaning there is a place that holds you

00:52:34--> 00:52:36

either in life upon the face of the

00:52:36--> 00:52:37

earth or in death

00:52:37--> 00:52:39

within the earth. It is a place that

00:52:39--> 00:52:41

Allah has made to hold you as Allah

00:52:41--> 00:52:42

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says also in the Quran,

00:52:43--> 00:52:45

we created you from it. We shall return

00:52:45--> 00:52:47

you to it and we shall resurrect you

00:52:47--> 00:52:48

from it once again. And look at how

00:52:48--> 00:52:51

Allah after he speaks about the loss that

00:52:51--> 00:52:52

they will face, the disbelievers on the day

00:52:52--> 00:52:55

of judgment. Allah gives them proof after proof.

00:52:55--> 00:52:56

He begins with the destruction

00:52:56--> 00:52:59

of the past nations. And then Allah speaks

00:52:59--> 00:53:01

about the creation of humans. And now Allah

00:53:01--> 00:53:03

is speaking about the signs of his creation

00:53:03--> 00:53:04

of the universe.

00:53:06--> 00:53:08

As houses and palaces are among the blessings

00:53:08--> 00:53:10

that Allah has bestowed upon his slaves, graves

00:53:11--> 00:53:11

are

00:53:12--> 00:53:15

in like manner. A mercy to them and

00:53:15--> 00:53:17

a covering for them, lest their bodies be

00:53:17--> 00:53:19

exposed to wild animals and the like. And

00:53:19--> 00:53:22

set therein lofty mountains standing firm. That is

00:53:22--> 00:53:24

mountains that make the earth firm, lest it

00:53:24--> 00:53:26

shake with its people. Allah has made it

00:53:26--> 00:53:28

steady by means of high mountains that stand

00:53:28--> 00:53:30

firm and giving you fresh water to drink.

00:53:30--> 00:53:33

That is water that is sweet and palatable.

00:53:33--> 00:53:35

And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says elsewhere, have

00:53:35--> 00:53:37

you thought about the water that you drink?

00:53:37--> 00:53:39

Is it you who bring it down from

00:53:39--> 00:53:41

the sky from the clouds or is it

00:53:41--> 00:53:43

we who send it down? If we so

00:53:43--> 00:53:45

willed, we can make it salty and bitter.

00:53:45--> 00:53:47

Why then do you not give thanks?

00:53:47--> 00:53:50

Woe that day to the deniers who despite

00:53:50--> 00:53:53

all that, Allah has, shown them of blessings

00:53:53--> 00:53:55

and that are bestowed by Allah alone for

00:53:55--> 00:53:58

which he singled them out, responded with denial

00:53:58--> 00:53:59

and and rejection.

00:54:11--> 00:54:12

It will be said to them, proceed

00:54:13--> 00:54:15

that to that which you used to deny.

00:54:23--> 00:54:26

Proceed to a shadow of smoke ascending in

00:54:26--> 00:54:27

3 columns.

00:54:32--> 00:54:34

The offer is no shade or protection from

00:54:34--> 00:54:35

the flames.

00:54:43--> 00:54:46

Barely it hell throws out sparks as big

00:54:46--> 00:54:47

as castles.

00:54:53--> 00:54:55

As if they were a a herd of

00:54:55--> 00:54:56

tiny camels.

00:55:03--> 00:55:04

All that day to the deniers.

00:55:04--> 00:55:06

This is part of the fate that has

00:55:06--> 00:55:09

been prepared for the evildoers and deniers.

00:55:09--> 00:55:10

It will be said to them on the

00:55:10--> 00:55:11

day of resurrection,

00:55:11--> 00:55:13

proceed to that which you used to deny.

00:55:13--> 00:55:15

Then Allah explains that by saying proceed to

00:55:15--> 00:55:17

a shadow of smoke ascending in 3 columns.

00:55:17--> 00:55:18

That is proceed to a shadow of the

00:55:18--> 00:55:20

fire of hell which will separate into 3

00:55:20--> 00:55:22

columns. It will have pieces of fire thrown

00:55:22--> 00:55:25

into it, running through it, and uniting with

00:55:25--> 00:55:27

it. That offers no shade. That is that

00:55:27--> 00:55:29

that shade will will offer no comfort and

00:55:29--> 00:55:31

bring no ease or protection from

00:55:32--> 00:55:35

or, or protection from the flames. That is

00:55:35--> 00:55:37

that shadow will offer no protection from the

00:55:37--> 00:55:40

flames, rather flames will surround people on all

00:55:40--> 00:55:42

sides, right and left. This is like the

00:55:42--> 00:55:44

verses in which Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, says

00:55:44--> 00:55:45

they will have layers of fire above them

00:55:45--> 00:55:48

and beneath them. And they will have a

00:55:48--> 00:55:51

bed of fire of of hellfire, and over

00:55:51--> 00:55:51

them

00:55:52--> 00:55:54

will be the coverings of fire.

00:55:55--> 00:55:57

Thus, we were required the the wrongdoers. This

00:55:57--> 00:55:59

is something which we find often in the

00:55:59--> 00:56:00

description of the people the fire that

00:56:01--> 00:56:03

Allah in one place denies something for them,

00:56:03--> 00:56:06

another place affirms something for them. In this

00:56:06--> 00:56:08

verse, Allah denies that the people of the

00:56:08--> 00:56:10

fire will have shade. In the verse in

00:56:10--> 00:56:12

Surat Al Zumr Allah says that they will

00:56:12--> 00:56:14

have levels of shade above them, levels of

00:56:14--> 00:56:15

shade below them.

00:56:15--> 00:56:18

So how do we reconcile between the 2?

00:56:18--> 00:56:21

Allah when he speaks about the or negate

00:56:21--> 00:56:23

certain things from the people of the fire

00:56:23--> 00:56:25

and affirms it from them, Allah what he's

00:56:25--> 00:56:28

negating is negating the positive aspects of it,

00:56:28--> 00:56:31

the beneficial aspects of it. So shade is

00:56:31--> 00:56:33

normally something which people consider to be beneficial.

00:56:33--> 00:56:35

You seek shade because it's hot or because

00:56:35--> 00:56:38

of the sun. And so there's positivity in

00:56:38--> 00:56:40

seeking shade and that's why Allah affirm shade

00:56:40--> 00:56:42

for the people of Jannah, as we just

00:56:42--> 00:56:44

mentioned in Surat Al Insan. When Allah denies

00:56:44--> 00:56:46

it for the people of the fire, it

00:56:46--> 00:56:48

means that the shade that they will be

00:56:48--> 00:56:50

given is shade that will not benefit them.

00:56:50--> 00:56:52

Shade that has no meaning of the word

00:56:52--> 00:56:54

shade, except that we use the term only.

00:56:54--> 00:56:56

So there is no good, no benefit because

00:56:56--> 00:56:58

their shade is fire. So So if it

00:56:58--> 00:57:00

is fire that is shading them, then that

00:57:00--> 00:57:02

shade is nothing except more destruction and more

00:57:02--> 00:57:03

and more,

00:57:03--> 00:57:06

more more torment for them. So Allah often

00:57:06--> 00:57:07

does this in the Quran that they would

00:57:07--> 00:57:09

have no food in the fire. But then

00:57:09--> 00:57:11

Allah says they will be given food. Yes,

00:57:11--> 00:57:13

they will be given food, but food that

00:57:13--> 00:57:16

has no nourishment, doesn't satisfy hunger, doesn't benefit

00:57:16--> 00:57:18

them. So in terms of food, it is

00:57:18--> 00:57:19

just something which is given to them that

00:57:19--> 00:57:21

they're made to swallow, doesn't benefit them in

00:57:21--> 00:57:23

the way that food would. So this is

00:57:23--> 00:57:25

something which you often find in the description

00:57:25--> 00:57:26

of the people of the fine. That is

00:57:26--> 00:57:27

how you reconcile.

00:57:27--> 00:57:30

Allah denies, Allah affirms. What is affirming is

00:57:30--> 00:57:32

not in the way that we would understand

00:57:32--> 00:57:35

otherwise, with no benefit, no good, no bliss,

00:57:35--> 00:57:36

no blessing in it.

00:57:37--> 00:57:39

Then Allah mentioned the great size of the

00:57:39--> 00:57:41

sparks of hell, which is indicative of its

00:57:41--> 00:57:44

huge size, terrible nature and horrifying appearance.

00:57:44--> 00:57:47

Verily, it hell throws out sparks as big

00:57:47--> 00:57:49

as castles as if they were a herd

00:57:49--> 00:57:51

of tawny camels. The word translated here as

00:57:51--> 00:57:53

tawny refers to a black color with a

00:57:53--> 00:57:55

hint of yellow. The word sufon in Arabic

00:57:55--> 00:57:58

language or asfar when it's used to describe

00:57:58--> 00:57:59

people

00:57:59--> 00:58:02

is often or animals, for example, is often

00:58:02--> 00:58:05

often means very dark, with a tint

00:58:05--> 00:58:07

of of yellowness, meaning there's such a dark

00:58:07--> 00:58:09

yellow that it's almost black. And so the

00:58:09--> 00:58:11

Arabs often describe it as being sufur, as

00:58:11--> 00:58:13

is mentioned in the Quran. So it doesn't

00:58:13--> 00:58:15

mean yellow as in the way that we

00:58:15--> 00:58:17

would consider a bright yellow, but it means

00:58:17--> 00:58:19

such a pitch dark yellow that it's almost

00:58:19--> 00:58:21

black. That is what the Arabs called sufur.

00:58:21--> 00:58:24

This indicates that the flames, coals, and sparks

00:58:24--> 00:58:25

of hell are dark

00:58:25--> 00:58:28

and that it is black and that it

00:58:28--> 00:58:31

is black. Terrible in appearance and extremely hot.

00:58:31--> 00:58:32

We ask Allah to keep us safe from

00:58:32--> 00:58:34

it and from the deeds that would bring

00:58:34--> 00:58:35

us close to it.

00:58:36--> 00:58:38

Woe that day to the deniers.

00:58:43--> 00:58:45

This is a day on which they will

00:58:46--> 00:58:46

not speak.

00:58:51--> 00:58:53

Nor will they be permitted to offer excuses.

00:59:08--> 00:59:10

It will be said to them, this is

00:59:10--> 00:59:10

the day of judgment.

00:59:11--> 00:59:13

You have been gathered together with those of

00:59:13--> 00:59:14

old.

00:59:21--> 00:59:24

So if you have any stratagem, try to

00:59:24--> 00:59:25

outwit me.

00:59:30--> 00:59:32

Woe that day to the deniers. This is

00:59:32--> 00:59:34

a day on which they will not speak.

00:59:34--> 00:59:36

That is this is a momentous day that

00:59:36--> 00:59:38

is difficult for the deniers. They will not

00:59:38--> 00:59:40

speak on that day out of intense fear

00:59:40--> 00:59:41

and dread. This is similar to what we

00:59:41--> 00:59:43

just mentioned. Allah Azzurad denies for them speech

00:59:43--> 00:59:45

in this verse. They won't speak on that

00:59:45--> 00:59:47

day. But in many other verse in the

00:59:47--> 00:59:49

Quran Allah tells us that they will speak,

00:59:49--> 00:59:51

that the disbelievers speak, and they speak to

00:59:51--> 00:59:53

Allah and they ask Allah and they request

00:59:53--> 00:59:55

of Allah. So again, how do you reconcile?

00:59:56--> 00:59:58

One position amongst the scholars of Islam is

00:59:58--> 01:00:00

that this is Maqam, Duna Maqam.

01:00:00--> 01:00:02

These are different verses about different people of

01:00:02--> 01:00:04

the fire. Not all of the people of

01:00:04--> 01:00:05

the fire are 1 and the same. So

01:00:05--> 01:00:07

some of them will speak, some of them

01:00:07--> 01:00:09

will not be allowed to speak. That's one

01:00:09--> 01:00:11

position. And the second position is what we

01:00:11--> 01:00:13

just mentioned about the shade, that their speech

01:00:13--> 01:00:15

would have no benefit. Their words would have

01:00:15--> 01:00:17

no benefit. So their words, even though they

01:00:17--> 01:00:19

speak, is they may as well not speak

01:00:19--> 01:00:21

because it carries no benefit and Allah knows

01:00:21--> 01:00:24

best. Nor will they be permitted to offer

01:00:24--> 01:00:26

excuses. That is their excuses will not be

01:00:26--> 01:00:26

acceptable.

01:00:27--> 01:00:29

Their excuses will not be accepted from them

01:00:29--> 01:00:31

even if they offer them. On that day,

01:00:31--> 01:00:33

no excuse will benefit those who did wrong

01:00:33--> 01:00:35

nor will they be allowed to make amends.

01:00:35--> 01:00:37

It will be said to them, this is

01:00:37--> 01:00:38

the day of judgment.

01:00:38--> 01:00:41

You have been, gathered together with those of

01:00:41--> 01:00:43

old so that we may pass judgement among

01:00:43--> 01:00:46

you and judge between our people. So if

01:00:46--> 01:00:47

you have any stratagem by which you can

01:00:47--> 01:00:48

escape,

01:00:48--> 01:00:51

my dominion and be safe from my punishment,

01:00:51--> 01:00:53

try to outwit me. But you have no

01:00:53--> 01:00:55

power or or authority. This is like the

01:00:55--> 01:00:58

verse in which Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, says,

01:00:58--> 01:01:00

oh, jinn and humans, if you are able

01:01:00--> 01:01:02

to pass beyond the confines of the heavens

01:01:02--> 01:01:04

and the earth, then do so. But you

01:01:04--> 01:01:06

cannot pass beyond them unless you have power.

01:01:06--> 01:01:07

As we mentioned in this

01:01:08--> 01:01:09

verse, some of the scholars or a number

01:01:09--> 01:01:10

of the scholars said it's about the day

01:01:10--> 01:01:12

of judgment that Allah will say to the

01:01:12--> 01:01:14

humans and jinn that if you can escape

01:01:14--> 01:01:16

from my kingdom, my universe,

01:01:16--> 01:01:18

now is the day to do it. Go

01:01:18--> 01:01:20

and find a place where Allah's power can't

01:01:20--> 01:01:22

reach you, Allah's punishment can't find you. And

01:01:22--> 01:01:23

so they would have no way that they

01:01:23--> 01:01:25

can go and escape on that day.

01:01:26--> 01:01:27

On that day, all efforts of the wrongdoers

01:01:27--> 01:01:30

will be to no avail and their stratagems

01:01:30--> 01:01:32

and schemes will fail. They will submit to

01:01:32--> 01:01:34

the punishment of Allah and it will become

01:01:34--> 01:01:36

clear to them that they were lying in

01:01:36--> 01:01:38

their denial. Woe that day to the deniers.

01:01:47--> 01:01:49

Very the righteous will be amidst shade and

01:01:49--> 01:01:49

springs.

01:01:54--> 01:01:57

And will have any fruits that they may

01:01:57--> 01:01:57

desire.

01:02:07--> 01:02:08

It'll be said to them, eat and drink

01:02:08--> 01:02:10

with enjoyment as a reward for your deeds.

01:02:17--> 01:02:20

Thus do we reward those who do good?

01:02:25--> 01:02:27

Woe that aday to the deniers. Having mentioned

01:02:27--> 01:02:30

the punishment of the disbelievers, Allah now mentions

01:02:30--> 01:02:32

the reward of those who did good. Vary

01:02:32--> 01:02:34

the righteous who didn't who did not deny

01:02:34--> 01:02:36

the right the truth and who were believers

01:02:36--> 01:02:38

in word and deed. They cannot be like

01:02:38--> 01:02:40

that unless they do that which is obligatory

01:02:40--> 01:02:42

and refrain from that which is prohibited. Will

01:02:42--> 01:02:45

be amidst shade that is with a lot

01:02:45--> 01:02:45

of,

01:02:46--> 01:02:49

various elegant beautiful trees and springs

01:02:49--> 01:02:50

flowing freely of wine,

01:02:51--> 01:02:54

flowing freely of wine mixed with ginger, nectar,

01:02:54--> 01:02:56

and so on, and will have any fruits

01:02:56--> 01:02:59

that they may desire of the best and

01:02:59--> 01:03:01

most wholesome types of fruits. And it will

01:03:01--> 01:03:03

be said to them, eat and drink of

01:03:03--> 01:03:06

delicious food and drink with enjoyment, that is

01:03:06--> 01:03:08

without any kind of trouble to spoil it.

01:03:08--> 01:03:11

Enjoy enjoyment cannot be complaint, cannot be complete

01:03:11--> 01:03:13

unless the food and drink is free of

01:03:13--> 01:03:14

all faults and defects

01:03:15--> 01:03:17

and until one is certain that it will

01:03:17--> 01:03:19

never end and never cease as a reward

01:03:19--> 01:03:19

for your deeds.

01:03:20--> 01:03:22

For your deeds are the reason

01:03:22--> 01:03:24

that brought you to this eternal bliss.

01:03:26--> 01:03:27

This is for everyone who did well in

01:03:27--> 01:03:29

worshiping Allah and treated the slaves of Allah

01:03:29--> 01:03:32

kindly. Hence, he says, thus do we reward

01:03:32--> 01:03:34

those who do good. Woe that day to

01:03:34--> 01:03:37

the deniers. If any if if nothing resulted

01:03:37--> 01:03:40

from that woe except being deprived of this

01:03:40--> 01:03:42

blessing, there would be sufficient deprivation and loss.

01:03:51--> 01:03:53

Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little while,

01:03:53--> 01:03:54

even doers that you are.

01:04:01--> 01:04:03

Woe that day to the deniers.

01:04:10--> 01:04:12

When it is said to them, bow in

01:04:12--> 01:04:13

prayer, they do not bow.

01:04:28--> 01:04:30

In what message after this Quran will they

01:04:30--> 01:04:32

will they then believe?

01:04:32--> 01:04:33

This is a threat and a warning to

01:04:33--> 01:04:36

the deniers that even if they eat, drink,

01:04:36--> 01:04:37

and enjoy the pleasures in this world, where

01:04:37--> 01:04:40

they neglect acts of worship, they are evildoers

01:04:40--> 01:04:42

who deserve the punishment of evildoers. So their

01:04:42--> 01:04:43

pleasures will cease,

01:04:44--> 01:04:45

and they will off they will suffer the

01:04:45--> 01:04:46

consequences.

01:04:46--> 01:04:48

Part of their evil doing

01:04:48--> 01:04:50

is that when they were enjoined to pray,

01:04:50--> 01:04:51

which is one of the

01:04:52--> 01:04:54

which is one of the no the noblest

01:04:54--> 01:04:55

acts of worship,

01:04:55--> 01:04:57

and it it was said to them bow

01:04:57--> 01:04:59

in prayer, they refused to do so.

01:04:59--> 01:05:01

What evil doing can be worse than this?

01:05:01--> 01:05:03

What denial can be greater than this? Look

01:05:03--> 01:05:05

how as we've mentioned before, if you were

01:05:05--> 01:05:07

to gather these verses about the people of

01:05:07--> 01:05:09

the fire and the reason why they're thrown

01:05:09--> 01:05:11

into the fire, and when they asked why

01:05:11--> 01:05:12

are you in the fire, you will see

01:05:12--> 01:05:13

that one of the most consistent

01:05:14--> 01:05:16

reasons that are given in the Quran is

01:05:16--> 01:05:18

their lack of salah, that they were from

01:05:18--> 01:05:19

the people of prayer. And as we said

01:05:19--> 01:05:20

before, they were disbelievers.

01:05:20--> 01:05:23

So Allah doesn't they don't have to pray.

01:05:23--> 01:05:24

They don't have tawhid. Even if they prayed,

01:05:24--> 01:05:27

we wanna benefit them. However, Allah mentions this

01:05:27--> 01:05:29

to show the importance of the salah, that

01:05:29--> 01:05:31

as a result of their shirk, they left

01:05:31--> 01:05:33

many of the great acts of worship. So

01:05:33--> 01:05:35

therefore, for the people of Islam who are

01:05:35--> 01:05:37

Muslims who do believe to neglect the prayer,

01:05:37--> 01:05:38

it is one of the gravest and worst

01:05:38--> 01:05:40

of sins. And that's why as we said,

01:05:40--> 01:05:41

it was a position of a number of

01:05:41--> 01:05:43

the companions and a number of the salaf

01:05:43--> 01:05:45

that those people leave the fold of Islam

01:05:45--> 01:05:47

because they took all of these verses together.

01:05:47--> 01:05:49

How many times did Allah say, they don't

01:05:49--> 01:05:51

pray, they don't pray, they don't pray? Then

01:05:51--> 01:05:52

a Muslim comes and he doesn't pray and

01:05:52--> 01:05:54

he says, I'm not from amongst them. Allah

01:05:54--> 01:05:56

doesn't repeat this for no reason over and

01:05:56--> 01:05:58

over again, not from the people of prayer,

01:05:58--> 01:06:00

not from the people of prayer. And so

01:06:00--> 01:06:00

Allah

01:06:00--> 01:06:03

again mentions it again, that these were people

01:06:03--> 01:06:05

who when they were commanded to pray, they

01:06:05--> 01:06:07

wouldn't pray. Make sujood, they wouldn't make sujood.

01:06:07--> 01:06:09

Make ruku, they don't make ruku. Every command

01:06:09--> 01:06:11

that they've given, they don't obey.

01:06:12--> 01:06:14

All that they to the deniers. Part of

01:06:14--> 01:06:16

that woe is that the door of divine

01:06:16--> 01:06:19

help and guidance is closed to them, and

01:06:19--> 01:06:21

they are deprived of all good. If they

01:06:21--> 01:06:23

reject this holy Quran, which is the highest

01:06:23--> 01:06:26

level of credibility and certainty, then in what

01:06:26--> 01:06:28

message after this Quran will they then believe?

01:06:29--> 01:06:31

Will they believe falsehood on which no species'

01:06:31--> 01:06:33

argument can be based,

01:06:33--> 01:06:35

let alone any sound evidence? Or will they

01:06:35--> 01:06:38

believe in the words of every lying polytheist

01:06:38--> 01:06:39

and blatant liar

01:06:39--> 01:06:42

and blatant sinner? There can be nothing after

01:06:42--> 01:06:45

clear light except deep darkness and nothing after

01:06:45--> 01:06:48

truth to the credibility of which our proof

01:06:48--> 01:06:51

and evidence testify, except blatant lies and clear

01:06:51--> 01:06:52

fabrication

01:06:52--> 01:06:54

that are not appropriate for anyone except one

01:06:54--> 01:06:56

who is in harmony with them. May they

01:06:56--> 01:06:59

perish how blind they are and how lost

01:06:59--> 01:07:00

and doomed they are. We ask Allah to

01:07:00--> 01:07:02

pardon us and grant us well-being.

01:07:03--> 01:07:04

This is the end of the commentary of

01:07:04--> 01:07:05

Surah Al Muursalat.

01:07:05--> 01:07:07

All praise and thanks are for Allah, and

01:07:07--> 01:07:08

may the blessings and peace of Allah be

01:07:08--> 01:07:11

upon the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,

01:07:11--> 01:07:13

his family, and his companions abundantly until the

01:07:13--> 01:07:14

day of judgment. May that we come to

01:07:14--> 01:07:15

and end of today's lesson.

01:07:14--> 01:07:15

and end of today's lesson.
