Just a few reminders, inshallah.
Just some things that
sort of experience,
in the community.
We should remember Allah.
He says in the Quran.
And the double emphasis
for people that study grammar. Indeed, indeed, you're
going to hear much
from the people of the book, meaning Jews
and prophets,
and also from those who associate
partners with Allah,
and then to fear of. Much that will
grieve you, that's going to annoy you,
this is something that's expected.
Right? This is what Allah is saying in
the Quran. This
is a This is expected. The dogs will
always bark.
But then he says
but if you have
if you have patience, what is patience?
As the prophet
said, When he saw a woman running in
the graveyard and she was being a little
excessive
in her weeping.
Right? And he said, yeah,
Those made servants of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Has
patience
and have taqwa of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And she,
without even turning around to see who it
was, she said, you've never been afflicted like
this. What do you know?
You've never been afflicted like this? The prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam, he buried 6 of his
7 children, sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
The most severe tribulations.
They come to Ananiyah, the prophets,
right, to raise their decrees.
So he said to her, patience is true
patience is at the first strike of the
disaster.
That's some of them.
Right? So I remember one time I was
in Iraq, there was a car accident,
and this guy got out and said, hey,
Bobo.
And then they sort of wrestling on the
ground. They're punching each other.
After, like, 2 minutes, they're both exhausted.
I said,
you know, I'm sorry.
Maybe I made a wrong turn.
Please forgive me.
I was like, it's already done. That's not
patience.
Patience is when the first fight comes to
you, and you show patience.
Right? And the old must say, fake it
till you make it. Right? You have the
is to pretend, retention.
Pretend to be patient if you can't be
patient. If you do it over time, then
it becomes part of your adapt.
Because part of your haptinez.
Right? It's woven into the fabric of who
you are inherently.
Right? So the prophet, sallallahu alaihi, said that,
he says,
when you hear all of this garbage that
Imam Zayed was talking about, There's people on
TV, these anti Muslim pseudo intellectual
evangelical
propagates,
Scott Robertson,
who is infamous, actually ran for president
in 1984 on a conspiracy on America. This
man did not become president.
Although we got Reagan, but we won't talk
about that. Anyway,
this man says,
almost every single time I turn off his
show, he's talking about Islam. He's probably doing
it all the time. Right?
Out of the 5 4 or 5 times
they turn off this program he's talking about.
He says, Allah is the moon god.
How did you know that hack? And he
said, you ever see the flag in Pakistan?
You ever see the flag in Pakistan?
They said, what? What's what's wrong with the
flag of Pakistan? There's a moon.
There's a moon on it. And they also
use a lunar calendar.
This is the dream
that we worship,
the god of the Hamau,
the moon god.
Right?
So, like, you know, Jews, they have a
lunar calendar.
Right? Christians, they have a solar calendar. They
wish him on Sunday. Oh, they wish him
to sun god.
Is it is that a good w?
No. It's not.
So have patience
and have tafwah.
What is tafwah?
Taqwa is hard to translate. Imamzay said that
the objective of rahamalah is to grow in
taqwa in order that you have taqwa.
And the urama say that the shutoff
or the fodal of something is known by
its taqwa,
that the,
the merit of something is known by its
objective. What is the objective of fasting in
order for us to have taqwa? And taqwa
is 2 parts. There's musha ada and mora'a
for the note takers.
Musha ada means that you're fully cognizant that
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is indeed watching us.
Some people find this very intrusive,
an atheist.
I don't want a celestial North Korea
is what they said. I don't want Kim
Jong il
watching my every move.
Why do they say that?
Right? They say that because they don't know
Allah
If they knew Allah
then they would automatically
love Allah.
You're not helpful to love him. If you
have Mahdi to observe him, you would not
Mahafar.
Right?
So,
where is it going with this?
Right? So what is?
Like, pretend you get in your car and
you're driving down the street and a cop
comes behind you.
Right? You know the cop was watching you.
You know that. The cop is in a
bit. Definitely, he sees me. I'm like, I
thought I've been. Right? That's what I'm trying
to do. And then what do you do?
You check your speedometer a little bit.
Make sure you turn on the blinkers.
You tell your kid in the back seat,
are you buckled?
Put it on.
No.
Check the mirrors. You stop. Full stop. At
the red light, you're gonna go right there.
Full stop. You can stop a little bit
longer.
Alright? This is for.
You're vigilant over yourself.
This is.
Right? With Allah
So you're patiently on taqwaqa.
Allah
he says,
He says, they are not the same. Khabib,
dirty things, foul things, and good things. They're
not the same. They're
not the same.
Even if the sheer amount
of the garbage
surprises you or dazzles you,
It's just garbage where there's a little bit
of garbage or a lot of garbage. Guess
what? It's garbage. You can't do anything with
it.
So we have the youth, the Shabbat, and
other people too.
Muslim
adults, they go Google the name of the
prophet
and page after page after page,
garbage after garbage. And this has a
a real detrimental effect when you read these
types of things.
Right?
But Allah tells
us, don't be deluded by that.
The next part of his ayah says fear
Allah.
Oh, people of lud.
What is the lud? It's the kernel, the
seed of something. People of poor understand.
People who have tasted their faith. The people
of Philip and Tahir,
who know how to look at something
by its outward form and draw out the,
the real meaning of that outward form.
These are people that are guided by Allah
This comes through hidayah or it comes through
the rational faculty if you know how to
use it.
Right?
So Allah
says, don't let all of this garbage gas
with you, even if it is a lot.
Be people of discernment.
Be people of discernment.
And this is very, very important
to be able to look at reality and
to draw out the meanings of what's actually
happened. And Muslims, they fall into these kind
of,
these bifurcations
because they were influenced by Christianity. We don't
even know it. All of us have been
influenced by Christianity. Western
postmodern Protestantism
is very dualistic.
It's very simplistic.
Right?
Basically, you know, the prosperity gospel, that the
amount of love that God has for you
is commensurate with the amount of money in
your bank account.
So if you have a lot of money,
you have some investment homes, you got a
Rolls Royce, obviously, all that loves you, but
these people that I hate stuff.
This is this is the prosperity gospel. Right?
Manifest destiny.
We're influenced by these types of things.
I hear some I see how many types
of things are Muslims sometimes.
You know, for a lot of Muslims,
the golden gate bridge
is the definitive proof
that Christianity is correct, that Islam is false.
Now you're thinking to yourself, what? What
does the republican change correction have to do
with what is what are you talking about?
You see, no, it's a Christian country. That's
that's problematic.
This this country is founded explicitly to be
the antithesis
of Christian Europe, to be the opposite of
what was happening, especially church of England,
with King George, the Anglican church, separation of
church and state. This country was in no
way founded as a Christian nation, treated in
Tripoli 17/87,
ratified them for law by John Adams. You
can look this up.
Right? But they say but they say, it's
a Christian country, and so the Golden Gate
Bridge,
this is through fit for Allah Therefore,
Christianity is right in Islam's place. Because you
go to Muslim countries, you'll find bridges where
the termites stop holding hands, they just want
to kill us.
This is a simplistic world view. A lot
of Muslims fall into this world view.
Right? They say, why does why does shaitan
have so much power?
Right? Shaitan is a jinn. They they he
goes again influenced by Elephants, all 9, Christianity.
There's a dualism. There's a bifurcation.
Allah on one side, Satan on the other
side, almost like they're equal. They fight battles.
Satan wins 1. Allah wins another one. Satan
wins another. No. No. No.
He is for you
a rival, not for Allah. Allah doesn't have
a rival or an opposite.
Allah has a love such things.
Shaytan doesn't have power over you.
If you let him, he does. But he
makes what's what's up. Nothing has power over
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. If Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala wanted to snap his figure, it doesn't
work, you know, and
destroy all of the cosmos,
no one is going to ask him,
why did you do that? Nobody
is going to ask him this question. They
cannot ask him this question.
Allah does whatever he will. A lot of
the youth, they fall into this religion called
is
a Greek word for the New Testament.
Basically,
the founder of this religion was a man
named Alastair Crowley. He founded the Church of
Satan in England. He has 2 books. These
are the sacred sacred scriptures.
One is called Magic, Ethere, and Practice, in
which he says very clearly, the best way
to get power
from evil demons
is to kill little babies.
That's why during Halloween, there's a lot of
abductions.
This happens in America. A lot of children
go missing
during Halloween in this country.
What happens to these children? Allah have mercy
on us. Allah preserve us. That's all.
He's crazy people after. He worship Satan.
Another one of his books is called the
Liber Negus, the book of the law. And
in this book, he says, our only law
is do what thou wouldest.
Do whatever you want.
This is our law. Do whatever you want.
Who's the only one that can truly say
that? Allah
does what he wants. When you say I
do whatever I want, that means you're making
yourself
dah.
Right? It's a form of shirk. No. Allah
does whatever he wants. The prophet
then do what you want. Do what thou
wilt. That is a joke. Yeah. I don't
have shame. I can do it in very
long. No. He's saying you should have shame.
Don't do whatever you want. A lot of
you have fallen into this this gap.
So we don't let these things bother us.
People attack the office a lot. You send
them you know, obviously,
it gets our emotions going. We hate this
type of thing.
But we have to be people of Taqwaq
and people of patience
and actualize this type of patience. So Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala is not is having his
back.
On the authority of Abdullah ibn,
Abdullah ibn Abbaas, but
she says a Christian man in Medina became
Muslim.
And then this Christian man, for whatever reason,
and he was a scribe of the revelation.
He used to write down the Koran that
was revealed to the prophet. So
So then this Christian, that he,
he reverted back to Christianity.
And it's very strange. This happens all the
time. I don't know if you're aware of
this idea with this because I'm into this
Christian Muslim type of thing. I've been I've
done my own work on this. I've been
involved in this for a number of years.
And I talked to several of these people
who were Muslim and became Christian. And I'll
tell you this,
every single time, without exception,
every single one of these people
had
what I would say, at least
a major misapprehension
as to what Islam actually was.
Some of them I doubt were even Muslim
to begin with,
So they don't know what they projected
because some of some of these people, some
of them are Muslims. I don't know. We
don't study we don't study things anymore.
So the religion is sort of focus focus,
jinn stories, those stories, like Papa John or
Apple John or Cha Cha John. They they
taught us when we were little bit, when
little kids, the gin stories. It's a Scooby
Doo religion.
Right? Like, this one brother, he said, you
know,
I,
I I last night, there was a black
dog in my room, and it had green
eyes.
And it was exactly 3 AM.
It fit me on the hand. All I
do is there was nothing there.
What does it mean?
I said, you know what it means? You
you stop hitting the pipe.
That's what that means.
And
the
green eyes is because you love money. And
then it's 3 AM because it's opportunity.
What are you talking about, bro?
It's the hook that down, relax,
and study the need. This isn't something Scooby
Doo religion.
He wants the mystery of that. You smoke
the whole body. You look for James, and
you have a talking dog, and then you
think it's Scooby's tax.
This is serious religion.
Serious religion. So anyway, this man, he became
Christian
after he became Muslim.
Right? And then he said to his Christian
friends, he said,
He said, the father, sallallahu alaihi salam, he
doesn't know anything except what I have heard
for him. Okay.
Right? A few days later, this man dies
of natural causes.
He died. The Christians buried him,
and the day after that, they found his
body was laying on top of the earth.
And they said, ah, Muhammad did this Sahaba.
Who would they have done? Prophet had nothing
to do with that.
No companion
exhumed his body.
So they buried him a little bit deeper.
A little bit deeper.
The next day, they found his body laying
on top his carcass laying on top of
the earth.
He said, ah, I'm not and his manions,
these guys.
What have they done to our
brother?
Right?
And then they buried him in, like, this
pit.
Right? It's like nail it up, put him
in a pit.
Next day, they come, his body's laying on
top of the earth.
They said leave it.
You know what happens to a body when
you leave it on top of the earth?
This is a man who was spewed out
by the earth as it were.
Spewed out, vomited
by an owl. Spewed them up.
Yeah. Spit them up. Why? Because if he
denigrated one little denigration
insult against the prophets of Allah who are
Iranian. Allah is Khabib's back.
Nature backing.
Like in Mecca,
the prophet
when
he received the revelation, and they actually said,
so tell your ashirah, the ones that are
close to you. So he climbed
a safaah
and he told the people, he said,
And this means this is the battle cry
of the Quraysh.
Sukh.
Right? This is what they would say if
there's a raid coming into the city. A
raid. An army coming in to raid a
village and plunder.
Right? Why is it related to the sunnah?
Because the rains usually happen during the daytime.
They don't happen at night. This is pre
Islamic
rules of engagement. You don't attack people at
night when they're sleeping.
You look at what's going on now, you
have drones dropped in box of women and
children,
you know, from civilized, quote unquote, civilized military
industrial complexes.
Anyway,
so,
what did you say? Sorry.
What was the story? It has to look
on both of my Uh-uh. So you can
start it.
Sorry. It's getting old right here.
So then he says to the people, he
says, if I saw an army approaching the
city on this other side,
would you believe me?
And they say, of course, you're Asadullah Anil.
You are Asadullah Anil. This is the title
they gave him.
That first you save the people from harm
before you give them the benefits. So first
is a nadir. He warns them, and there's
a silence.
And then Abdul Erisa,
his uncle,
he says,
this
is why you call this.
May you perish. In
in colloquial Arabic is an s bomb.
He dropped an s bomb on the prophets
of the alaihi sallam.
You know? So, you know, people this isn't
public. This isn't humble.
Right? There's people around.
People drop f bombs on us. What do
we do? I saw his brother walking in
a car, leaving the masjid.
Somebody cut him off.
Boom. Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
Cut me off. It's okay. It is it
is hot. There's actually a. It's
about abusing your horn. Some of them say
it's haram to actually use your horn.
They say because you're preaching You're staring at
people. Relax. You can only use it for
10 feet. Just
you know, if somebody stopped and red light
or texting or something.
Don't be like, what
are you doing in tall people?
This is what he did. And Abulaha used
to walk he used to walk behind the
prophet
and throw stones at him.
Perish. Make memories it. Perish
the hands of Abu Lah.
At the end. This temp at the end
is not necessary.
You get the point across. What is the
point of at
the end?
What is the point of this,
repeat?
Is that Abu Dhabi is done.
It's over.
As the mafia used to say, forget about.
Abulaha, forget about. He's done.
Why?
Because he
denigrate and insulted the prophets of the law.
He's got the prophets back.
There's another story. This is leading up to
what I really want to talk about is
a surah in the Quran, surah 108, which
is called Al
Kirta,
a beautiful surah, early Meccan surah. So there's
a few surah in the Quran, a few
chapters in the Quran
that are called the chapters of consolation,
which is sold as habib
by,
and then its * is,
Tulfur.
So the background of the Surah is that
a man named
Lawwahil
because the prophet's sons have died in infancy.
Al Qasid and Abdullah died when they were
very young. So this man, Anasem Nawwad, he
said, no.
Means he's been cut off.
Means they cut off the tail of a
horse. What does that mean? He doesn't have
any sons, his lineage has been cut off,
and this is how he used to refer
to the prophet as
Hamza.
So Allah reveals
Beautiful Surah.
A lot of things happening in the Arabic.
It's interesting, Imam Fafar De La Plazi,
who brought the beautiful Tasir Tasir al Tabir,
also known as.
And people who speak Farsi, you have to
know.
Even if you don't speak Farsi. This is
one of the great,
tafsir of our tradition.
He has a section in his tafsir about
at Munas Sabah.
And Munas Sabat really deals with,
the significance
of the ordering of the surah, of the
of the chapters in the Quran.
Right? So the sua itself is a literary
unit, and it's cohesive
because, you know, the classical orientalists
who basically have a bachelor's degree, the equivalent
of a bachelor's degree in Arabic, he looks
at he meets the Quran within the Surah,
and he says, this doesn't make sense. This
changing of tense, what's going on here? Right?
1st person, 3rd person, singular to plural. This
person has nothing to do with this person,
and then it goes back to another this
is a jumbled mess. But scholars today, like,
Karl Marx, he wrote the book How to
Read the Quran, obviously, is a lot of
what he says is very problematic, but he
admits it. Yes. The Surah is a literary
unit.
But it's not just the Surah itself,
but the ordering of the Surah.
Right? So not only is there inter
surah,
cohesiveness, but intra surah
cohesiveness.
So he says here, interesting, if you look
at the surah before,
Have you seen the one who denies faith,
and the one who rebuffs
the yateem, the orphan, and doesn't even encourage
the feeding of the poor person. Have you
seen that one? So what is the lost
man of God talking about here? What is
he condemning? He's
Right? To be stingy, to be a cheapskating.
The
Right? The prophet said the bin
is the one when my name is mentioned,
he doesn't say salawataki.
It is so easy. Just say salawataki.
This is a true baqi. Another the Arabs
also use the word baqi for the one
who's constipated.
Right? Because if you just let go of
what's what's in his body, it would actually
benefit him, but he's not letting go. Right?
Give your wealth. It benefits you. So he's
talking about here. And then in so
means
to give.
These are opposites. These are in contrast. These
are in contrast.
And then he says,
Pray.
Those who pray with riyyah. What is riyyah
ostentation?
People who pray to show off.
Right? Like you go into the masjid, you
say I'm gonna do a quick with,
and then I'm gonna go. So you start
your prayer and then a brother comes in
and she wants to impress.
And in your mind, you thought to yourself,
I'm gonna do,
a wall hustle and and a floss. And
then the product comes in and you start
going.
This is rihab.
This is ostentation.
So this
is Pray to your lord exclusively.
Right?
Right? And then he says,
right, and those who prevent even little, small,
neighborly things. They don't give even to their
neighbor something small. And this is contrasted with
al Kotho,
1 Nahara
nahhar and sacrifice.
Sacrifico. You sacrifice animals?
Right? What do you do? You give some
of the meat to your neighbors.
Right? The prophet,
a
soup, increase its water. And be mindful of
your neighbors.
Increase the water of the soup. So this
is
something that Fafardin Abhazi mentions. It his tafsir,
this type of one as of that between
the suis. Anyway, so now, Allah's how to
begin.
Right, which is
is the inside particle.
Right? And nahu,
the independent personal pronoun. So so verily we,
indeed we, or no doubt
we,
is past tense.
This is called figurativealdi,
past tense or perfect tense.
What does perfect tense mean? It actually has
been perfectly
completed.
It's done. Why does Allah use
a last tense?
When the prophet
is living in Mecca? This is the early
Meccan Surah.
Why? Because Allah
is Azadi and Abadi.
He has a pre imposed eternality, so time
doesn't make a difference to him. He's not
in time
The other heard of how they say, that's
true, but also the fact that when Allah
in the Quran, when he speaks about the
Islam Relay through Al Askira,
he uses the past tense to guarantee
that they're going to happen,
To guarantee they're going to happen. Right? For
example, brother Masood tells me,
he says, I didn't
he says, go get me some coffee.
And I say, consider it done.
Right? It's done.
Did I do anything yet?
I'm still sitting in my
chair, but I have a I have an
intention. Jared I said, Jared, you can take
it to the bank and cash it. I'm
gonna give you some
So Allah
when he speaks of that, I ask him,
say, this is already done for you.
This is a consolation
to the prophet
It's already done. Consider it done. This is
a phenomenon, the significance of the past tense
verb.
Another thing they wanna point out here is,
why does Allah say alcohol
and not aata or wahada? There's different ways
of saying to give in Arabic.
To give something, different ways of saying. What
are the difference?
Ata in Arabic, which is a causative form,
this also
is also taught causative
for people who study
grammar.
Means you give something to someone, but that
person has to do something with what you
gave them. And if they don't do it,
you can take it back.
So there's strings attached.
That's
with with.
He can't just, you know, kick back or
fix with the book. Oh, no. He's not
gonna pay it. Gotta do something. Gotta teach
the book now. You gotta teach explotating. Make
of
the book.
Right?
This is, so Allah doesn't use this word.
There's also
means to give something to someone as a
gift whether that person deserves it or not.
Whether that person deserves it, whether there's a
reason or not, Allah will give to someone.
We don't say,
We can't give Allah.
Right?
Bestow upon us from your mercy, a portion
of your mercy. You are the one that
gives it.
Right? But this is not the verb that
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala uses in Adam Kavitha.
He says, alcohol.
What does alcohol mean?
It means to give to someone because that
person deserves it.
That person has merit.
That person is meritorious.
He has something good about that person. There's
an.
Right?
There's something good about that person.
And when
this verb is used and it's given to
someone
and this verb is used, it can never
be taken back. There are no strings attached,
and he can do whatever he wants with
it.
It's never taken back. There are no strings
attached. He can do whatever he wants with
it. This is the verb and alcohol.
So what is the merit that Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala is talking about?
What is the of the prophet of the
body's temple?
Why?
He doesn't mention because
you you are a manna. You have sis.
You have shut up. Allah doesn't mention these
things.
So they're gonna
say,
all of the prophets, everything about him is
meritorious.
In other words, Allah is saying,
indeed, we have already given it to you
because of who you are, oh Muhammad.
It's just because of who you are,
Because of you. Because you are you.
This is why we have given it to
you.
Just because you are you. Right? And this
is how he's described actually in the old
testament that prophet
has clearly prophesied
in the post of active detail.
But, you know, people don't study these things
anymore. Not even their own heard of that.
Perfect description of them given, Shira Hashim. It
says,
In the Arabic, that's the Hebrew. The Arabic
says,
is not asleep.
The Hebrew
says,
All of him is Muhammad.
All of him. What
What does that mean? This is elliptical. This
is poetry. Poetry is not is very,
good poetry is not direct. It's elliptical. It
wants to it wants you to think about
something.
All of him is Mohammed.
Everything is not just his name.
Everything about him is praiseworthy.
So
we have given you
and a kalwatha. What is kalwatha?
This is from kathora,
right,
which means to increase something.
Is called is called is an intensive form.
Like, kathir.
You heard kathir. Even kathir.
Right? But the waw
is stronger than the yaha.
Is
stronger than tadeem.
The waw is stronger than the yaha.
What does it mean?
So all of the Urlamas say, this is
not Arunfil Jannah.
This is a river in paradise, but most
of the Urlamas say, it needs other things
as well.
Naduba
and Forman
and Shafa'a,
Ahlid Beit,
and other things as well. The fact that
Allah
What does this mean? Allah insulted the remembrance
of the prophet
he said in Abu Ghad Tahar, he's been
cut off. He has no sons.
He has no lineage.
Right?
So this is from the fususiyah. This is
from the the special properties of the prophet.
The Allah
he gave ahlib bait through his daughter Fatima
The prophet,
he said,
is a piece of my flesh.
Whoever makes her angry makes me angry. Whoever
makes me angry makes Allah angry.
Every lineage is cut off on the day
of judgment except my lineage
and those who are
connected to me either through marriage or some
other way.
Mentions a tradition of the god of Osama
bin Zayed.
Who's Osama bin Zayed?
Osama bin Zayed was a great companion of
the prophet
One time the
prophet he took Zayd, Usa Abin Zayd, and
he put him on one of his knees.
They were children, and he took and
he put he put them on his other
knee, and he said,
because I know them.
So the daughter of Osama bin Zayed,
his daughter, and her mawla, her freed slave,
they go to the caliph.
They
go to the caliph.
Right?
And the caliph,
when he saw them, he began following them
around like a servant
waiting on their hand and foot.
They came to them,
and then he offered his seat to her.
He sat on the ground in front of
her,
and then he started touching the clothes
of the freed slave
of the daughter of a companion of the
prophet. He started touching his clothes like this.
Okay. But why is he doing this?
What's he doing?
If you see, what's that?
That connection somehow,
some connection
with the prophet sallallahu alaihi salam. Even Hurmat,
he said, go to the masjid, touch the
minbar of the prophet, and wipe them over
his face. We don't read these things anymore.
Even Huron as a companion,
no one knows the Atena better than the
Sahaba.
Nobody knows him. Don't tell me that as
an American in 2013,
and as global goes on our society,
somebody said, hey. They don't know what they're
doing. Stop the blah blah. Say, you'll nast
tar me. Because people is my generation.
Some connection with the prophet.
So kalzara. We have given you kalzara.
Right? And this is the opposite of kavah.
So suddenly, we don't give that. So pray
to your lord.
Imperative.
Pray to your ba'ah. It's interesting. Allah uses
ba'ah. What is the difference between the word
Allah and
The earlier I'm gonna say here, the exigence
of the
when Allah is used,
the
exalted expression is used. This denotes Allah's utter
transcendence,
this jala.
Right?
When rum is used, this is more personal.
His imminence,
right, his mariyyah, that he's close. He is
total. He's close to us. So you know
what is really interesting? When the prophet,
during his sireh, when he's in a time
where he's afraid of something, Allah would reveal
reveal a surah to him or a person
in him and use the word.
Like when he was in the k,
it's too majestic.
So be it in the name of your
Lord, meaning there's Inaya. I'm taking care of
you. Relax.
You're in our fortress. You're in our eye,
so to speak.
Right? Inaya.
We
love you. We are your Lord. We're taking
care of you. It's the consolation to the
prophet.
So suddenly, you don't pick up and
sacrifice for your
Lord.
Very interesting.
And Asif Dawadin,
who denigrated to prophet There's
a
you know, the the last verse says, indeed,
your hater
your hater, he's cut off.
And there's a few ways to say hater.
There's a.
Right? We use this in the shayta.
Means a rival
or an arched enemy,
a foe.
Right? So who's the rival of Spider Man?
I don't know. That that lizard guy. Sorry.
Batman's
Batman against the Joker.
Right?
Those are right. Arch and MSI, if that's
the plural of Nemesis.
Is it? MSI. Nemesis. Whatever.
So what is it, Hadoop? It's someone that's
trying to hurt you, but they may not
necessarily hate you.
They may not necessarily hate you.
Like, there are a lot of Christian scholars,
like John of Damascene, who write a reputation
of the nabua of the prophet sallam alaihi
wasalam
because he's trying to discredit the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasalam, but he's not anything against the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasalam. He just thinks that
he's misdiagnosed,
and he's, you know, the the rival of
people becoming Christian.
Right? This is an I had to
and then another level is a and
comes from the word.
Right? This is an enemy who hates you,
and he's trying to hurt you.
He hates you, and he's trying to hurt
you, he tells you he
hates you. Right?
Abraham ibn Abatz, for example.
He said, I hated the prophet
so much at one point that I went
out in many fa'afar, many military expeditions
to kill him. I hated him so much.
And
then there came a time when I loved
the prophet
so much, I couldn't even look in his
eyes.
I couldn't raise my head to look at
him squarely at his face because I was
overawed by him. And if you keep selling
his son a khuba on his deathbed, if
you ask me right now, what does the
problem look like? I don't even remember because
I never looked at it. I'm also embarrassed.
And I fought against him so much when
he gets to the level, just sort of
look down and
right?
Who is I'm not even gonna ask.
Who is his father?
And us didn't know why.
It's very interesting.
The same man who said to the prophet
of the life. Look, and I've obtained
his own son
his own son loved the prophet
more than his own father.
His own son will give his life for
the prophet
over his own father.
And then there's a shani on another type
of enemy. This is the worst type of
enemy. A shadim. This is someone who
he hates you. He's trying to hurt you,
and he actually
derives
some sort of sadistic pleasure
when bad things happen to you. It actually
gives him pleasure. It's a sick mentality.
Right?
People,
you know, they write these things about the
prophet, and
it causes an uproar in Muslim.
They actually
they like that.
It tickles their fancy.
People are
strange.
This person hates you. He's trying to virtue
and you direct life's pleasure. This one is
cut off.
So
my message of consolation to everyone that I'm
out of time is that this affair is
real.
Allah is God.
The prophet
is a messenger of God.
There's a jenat. There's a garden. There's a
knob. There's hellfire. These things are real. The
prophet
is truthful. He gave us the message,
and we should have in
this and be increased in
our when we have knowledge of Allah.
Don't make this into the Scooby Doo religion.
Forgive. No more Scooby Doo religion. We have
to be serious.
I'll I'll use a little
bit of grammar today to show you that
there's a lot to study.
It's not just, yeah, I've read this translation
and whatever. It doesn't make sense to me.
The companion, the elephant, what is that? Who
cares?
These things have some significance.
These things are deep. These things require analysis.
It's either 1 or 2 things. Either this
religion is so simplistic, anyone can do it,
or it's too long. I can't do it.
And we have Arabic classes.
Right? I've I've I've started 10 or 11
Arabic classes, because it was it was allowed
to die. These people say, it's a 2
hour.
1 One of my teachers, he was teaching
Arabic,
and the student came up to him and
said, it's too hard. I can't do it.
So he asked the student, he said,
where did you go to school? He said,
I have a master's from Stanford.
He says, oh,
no. I went to a JC,
and I can do this. Why don't we
tell ourselves that you're a genius? This should
be very easy for you. Keep telling ourselves
this is too hard or it's too easy
a month, you can do it.
Right? So we don't we don't honor the
deed. We don't honor the prophet. We don't
lose we're out of time control
