00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			So this is something amazing here.
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:04
			Right?
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			So I want to sort of revisit
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			some of these
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:11
			in,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			Suraj al Islam in light of modern historical
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:16
			developments.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			And the reason is because
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			this will really demonstrate the Quran's ability to
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			accurately predict future events.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			And there's some students here that
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			who got this part yesterday in the homologetics
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			class.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			And by the way, this is not my
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:34
			personal enthusiasm.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			I'm not qualified to give to this year.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			You have to have mastered something 12, 13.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			Even Juzayaka'at Visa. It's like 15
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			sacred sciences
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			in order to give your opinion about something
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			in the Quran.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			So this is a gesture of modern karma
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			in light of recent history.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			Like those who have traditional training,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			the various requisite disciplines.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			So the Quran's semantical polyvalence
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			allows for multiple correct interpretations.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			Other words, the Quran's ability to communicate
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			meaning at different levels.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			Okay. So Surat Al Isra is also called
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			Surat Al Isra'i.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			So listen to what Allah says.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			We'll just look at the first 8 verses
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			and then verse 104, and then we'll be
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			done until
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			From the Nile of Mosque in Mecca to
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			the Al Aqsa Mosque, master of Aqsa in
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			Jerusalem.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			His precincts, we did bless in order to
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			show them some of our signs.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			Indeed, he is hearing and seeing.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			We gave Moses a revelation
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			and made it a guidance for the children
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			of Israel stating, do not take other than
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			me at the disposal of your affairs.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			Oh, progeny of those whom he carried in
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			the ark.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			Indeed, he Noah was a grateful servant.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			And we decreed for the children of Israel
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			in the revelation.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			So this could be in the the aforementioned
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37
			keytar, the Torah, or some will, I must
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			say, in the lower, Machtoth,
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			in the preserved tablet.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			You will certainly cause re corruption in the
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			earth twice,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			and you will become extremely arrogant,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			oppressive
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			while in a state of political power. Right?
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			So Urdu means to be in power.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:57
			Right.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			So the promise of the first of the
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			2 came to pass.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			Alright. So like the end of the first
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:17
			rule,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			we sent against you our servants of great
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			might
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			who ravaged your homes.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			That was a promise fulfilled.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:26
			So the end
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:27
			here,
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			means this is in the past.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			This is done.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			This is something that happened in the past.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			There's no doubt about
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			So the Qur'an mentioned here.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			So when Nani Israel came into power with
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			David 1000 BCE,
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			When did they lose power?
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			What what was the end of their
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			their
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:47
			ulur?
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			It was 586
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:49
			BC.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			The Babylonians attacked the southern kingdom of Judah.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			They killed the last Davidic king.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			They cut off David, basically.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			Everyone was brought into captivity in Babylon.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			And they entered the homes of the Israelites,
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			just like the Quran says.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			They pulled people out that were sort of
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			the more sort of influential people, and they
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			took him as prisoner to Babylon.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			Now this verse, number 6
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:28
			sorry.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:32
			This verse,
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			according to several exegetes,
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			the kitah changes here.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			So now Allah
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			is addressing the Muslims
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			in the form of a prophecy.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			This is the is the future.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			Then we'll give you, oh Muslims, the upper
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			hand over them
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			and aid you with wealth and offspring, make
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			you greater in number. This is a prophecy
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			because Bani Israel will never greater than number
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			than anybody.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			We'll give you power over them, over Bani
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:03
			Israel.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			Jerusalem was conquered
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			shortly after during the caliphate
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			during the caliphate, see number 1, and
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			the Muslims, they conquered the Babylonian lands, the
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			Persian lands,
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			the Byzantine lands.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			And then
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			Allah says to the Muslims,
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			If
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			you do well, then you do well for
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			yourselves.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			Then when the promise of the final of
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			the 2 Uruh
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			will come to pass, this is the future,
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			they, meaning the Jews, will disgrace you,
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			humiliate you.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			And don't enter the Al Aqsa Mosque.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
			What is Al Masjidah here? Well what was
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			the last mention of the mosque? The word
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			masjid, what was the last mention?
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			What's the reference? That's the rule.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			And they'll enter the acts of mosque like
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			they did during the first time, during their
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:17
			first,
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			ruling, during their first
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			uluwa. And they, meaning the Jews, landing Esarim,
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			will destroy with utter destruction.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			Perhaps perhaps your Lord will have mercy on
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			you. So here, Asa in Arabic is called
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:51
			frikatology.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			Right? It's a fear. It's a verb of
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			of hope.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			Right? In other words, this will happen.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			Okay. God will have mercy on it on
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			the Muslims. But it's going to be after
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			after some tests.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			Right. In the same
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			So so Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			in the prophet,
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			in the night make Tahajjud. It's an addition
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			for you. Perhaps your Lord will raise you
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			to praise for a new station.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			And he has an Al Nahrul.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			This is and he calls him hope.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			But if you return to sin,
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			we will return to punishment.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			You know, after the kaswat or hood.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			Yeah.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			Some of them said, what how did this
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:43
			happen?
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			It's a response from Allah
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			This is from yourselves,
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			and we made * of confinement for the
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			disbelievers. Strong warning to future generations.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			So I think about this. How much have
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			the Palestinians suffered
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			for the injustices committed
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			by others?
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02
			How much of the people of Gaza in
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			particular suffered for the injustices
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			committed by others? They inherited the consequences
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			of the bad decisions of non Muslims,
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			of course, but also Muslims.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			Bad decisions.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:16
			Bad alliances,
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			nationalism,
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			Arab nationalism,
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:21
			Turkish nationalism,
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			secularism,
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			disunity, rebelling against the caliphate,
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			making alliances
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			with the Gafar,
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:30
			Young Turks Revolution,
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			McMahon Hussein correspondence.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			But the victory will come. It's the promise
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			of Allah
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			It's not gonna be easy. Perhaps your lord
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			will have mercy on you. But if you
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			return to sin, we will return to our
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:42
			punishments.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			Now towards the end of the Surah remember
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			how we said these Surah's? They They have
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			this kind of
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:49
			circular theme.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			Towards the end of the Surah, we have
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			this phrase again, wa'atul afira.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			And some of the renomists say, it's talking
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			about the afterlife.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			But in light of what we know here,
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			there's no reason to say that this is
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			talking about the afterlife.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			And we said to the children of Israel
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			after that, dwell in the earth
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			in diaspora.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			Right? And when the promise of the final
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			of the 2 of Ur will come to
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:22
			pass,
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			we will bring you to the Holy Land
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			as a mixed assembly.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			So the Jews from all over the world
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			will flood into the Holy Land. This is
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			the modern Zionist movement.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			This is the second Urdu.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:39
			This is the major indication of their second
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			facade
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:42
			in the earth.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			Then what will they do?
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			According to the Quran,
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48
			they will oppress the Muslims.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			And they will enter Mas'ud Al Aqsa,
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:53
			and they will
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			absolutely destroy
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:57
			Palestine.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			And it seems that these sort of
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03
			well, anyway, we won't get to that one.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			It is, like
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			so from this is my finisher.
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			So from our perspective,
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:17
			eventually the pseudo messiah, the mashiach Dajjal, will
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:17
			emerge.
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			Isa alaihis salam,
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:20
			the true Messiah,
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			will reemerge.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26
			Isa alaihis salam will defeat the pseudo Messiah
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			and punish the Ahid Hitaab, you know, they're
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			in the holy land, but also guide many
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:32
			of them.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will gather them
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:37
			there as a lafifa, a mixed assembly. All
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			Ashkenazi Jews, Sephardic Jews,
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:41
			Mizrahi Jews,
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			Gather them there as a mixed assembly for
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:47
			Isai alaihi sallam to call them to Islam.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:48
			And eventually,
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51
			every Jew and Christian will become Muslim before
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			the death of Israel.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			This is what the Quran says.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			And the pronoun here according to most of
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			the exudates is referring to Isa alaihis salam.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			There is none of the people in the
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09
			book that will be beaten him before his
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:09
			death.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:10
			Right?
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			So very interesting.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			You see the Quran,
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			it never ceases to be a relevant text.
