00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			Insha'Allah, today we're going to be,
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			finishing off the tafsir of Surah Tullay and
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			it's the 4th class
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			with regards to specific Surah, Insha'Allah.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			And before we finish off, this Surah in
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			this lesson, Insha'Allah, I just wanted to recap,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			what we did,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			last week. So who can remind you what
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			we covered last week?
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			What did we talk about last week?
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			Which I ask that we cover?
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			Okay. So we talked about 2,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			different groups of people.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:14
			Okay.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			So we talked about those individuals who did
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			good deeds, and Allah
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			specifically mentions,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			people who do good deeds and what their
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			reward is. And we talked about those people
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:27
			who do,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:28
			bad deeds.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			This is what we said last week.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			And though as for those who are stingy
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			and they're complacent and they deny goodness. And
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			he said can refer to paradise and he
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			can refer to rewards and punishments which Allah
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			will give on that day.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			Then those individuals who will ease his way
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			towards difficulty just as as we ease
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			the ones who do good towards ease and
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			towards good. Those who commit sins, we're going
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			to ease their way, meaning their their path
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			towards destruction and towards difficulty and towards
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			sadness and and, you know, disgrace in this
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			5 and in the next will become easier
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			for them because of the sins that they
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			commit. So that path will be made easier
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			for them and they'll
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			they'll go down that road a lot quicker
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			when they, you know, do these types of
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			of sins and,
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			these types of of evils. And then we
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:25
			said
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			his money won't avail him when he plummets.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			When he plummets into the hellfire, this wealth
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			won't benefit him,
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			at all. And we all said it's a
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:36
			question.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			We said this this has
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:41
			two meanings.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			So it can either mean his money won't
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			avail him, won't benefit him when he plummets.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			And also it's a question. What's with how
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			will his money benefit him when he plummets?
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			So it has 2, a previous Surah Surah
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			Lahab. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. That his
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			wealth, isn't going to benefit him
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			it's not going to and what is profited
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			isn't going to benefit him. And also, it's
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			a question, how is his wealth going to
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			benefit him? Meaning, it's not going to benefit
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			him at all, at all.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			It's upon us to guide, meaning we are
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			the ones who who guide.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			And we stopped at this eye where Allah
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he says,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			we discussed this. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			says, to us belong
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			the last and the first.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			And so we said, this refers to basically,
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			it refers to the hereafter and it refers
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			to, this world. So the first being
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			this world and the last being the hereafter.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala before we move
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			on to the next ayah, another point with
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			regards to this specific ayah, Allah says
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			to us belong
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			the last and the first. So he mentions
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			the last
		
00:03:59 --> 00:03:59
			first
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			and he mentions the first
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:02
			last.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			So why is there why doesn't he mention
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			it in order? Why didn't he say
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			why didn't he say the first belongs to
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			us and the last belongs to us in
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			order, chronological order? Why does he mention the
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			first and why does he mention the first
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			and then the all of this world second?
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:19
			He
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			says that,
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			one of the reasons for this is
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			because
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			the hereafter
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			is more important
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			than this world.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			The hereafter
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			is more important and is better than this
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			world in terms of the reward, in terms
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			of, you know, the the results of an
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			individual's actions in this world and the things
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			that he did and said. On that day,
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			in the in the hereafter,
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			on Yom Kiyama, he's going to basically be
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			judged with regards to what he did in
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			this world. And this world is something which
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			is temporary. You know, a person's only going
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			to live in a short number of years,
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			20, 30, 40, 50 years, 60 years if
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			he's blessed with that long life. Whereas the
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			hereafter, he's going to live forever. And and
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			the hereafter is like the results of the
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			exam of this world. SubhanAllah. So you see
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			how Allah
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			mentions the hereafter first because of its importance
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			prioritizes the hereafter, the
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			as opposed to using al Ula first, as
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			opposed to using this world,
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			first,
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			and using it in the in the second
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			part of the ayah. And then Allah subhanahu
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			wa ta'ala, he says in the next ayah,
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:22
			ayah,
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			Allah
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			he says
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			that I
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			am warning you or I have warned you
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			of
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			Naran Talava,
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			of a fierce blaze.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			And now it is,
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			now it is the fire, the hellfire. It's
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			one of the names of the hellfire. And
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:44
			Talava
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48
			means something which is ablaze, something which is
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			glowing, something which is fiery. So it's one
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			of the descriptions
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			descriptions of the hellfire.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			It's not a fire which is sedate. It's
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			not a fire which is, you know, small
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			and low, but it's a it's a fire
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			which is so great that it's basically ablaze.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			Know, it has flames and it's flickering and
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07
			it's it's it's taking over everything, encompassing everything
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			that it can get its hands on. And
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			you know, is is basically issuing a warning
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			from himself.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			So he's telling all of his creation
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			and the. I am warning you. I have
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			warned you. In fact, this past tense. Allah
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			is saying I've already warned you. Meaning, all
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			of these ayats, you know, everything else in
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			in the in the book of Allah subhanahu
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			wa ta'ala, I warned you of this fire.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			This fire is something you are all aware
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			of. It's something that you know is going
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			to take place. It's something which is going
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			to happen. And so this is a warning
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			from me. The messenger of the
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			there's a hadith which mentions in
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:55
			where he was delivering a sermon and he
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			said
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			to the companions
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			and I warn you of a fire.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			And so he's telling the the companions about
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			the hellfire, reminding them of the hellfire. And
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			the companions, they said that he kept on
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			repeating this until he repeated 3 times,
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			that I'm warning you of a fire. And
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			when he said this, he was raising his
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:19
			voice.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			I'm warning you of a fire. And he's
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			raising his voice when he says this specific
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			statement. And the companions, they said he raised
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			it such an extent that the people who
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			would have been outside the Masjid in the
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			marketplace, they would have heard his voice
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			because of the the the volume of his
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			voice. That's how that's how much he had
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			increased his voice when he was mentioning this
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			specific statement about the hellfire and warning the
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			companions about the hellfire. And
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47
			they said that he raised his voice to
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			such an extent
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			and he was he was so loud
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			and he was so intense when he spoke
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58
			that the cloth that had covered his upper
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			body, that had covered his shoulders,
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			basically fell to the ground.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			In a meaning, he was he was very
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			emotional, very passionate when he was talking and
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			mentioning this specific issue with regards to the
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			punishment of Allah, the anger of Allah subhanahu
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			wa ta'ala and the whole fire. And, you
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			know, one of the lessons we can learn
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			from this Hadith is
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			the fact that the messenger of Allah subhanahu
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:21
			wa ta'ala, even though we know from other
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			Hadith that he was someone who was soft
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			spoken.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			You know, he was someone who was gentle.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			He was someone who was always smiling.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			But at the same time, when the need
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			called for it and
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
			in certain
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38
			circumstances and in certain situation in specific situations,
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41
			he would raise his voice. And in other
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			hadith, in other in other narrations, it's mentioned
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			that his face would become red when he
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			would speak sometimes.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			Because depending on the things that you're talking
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:49
			about,
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			you the way you speak and the method
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53
			in which you speak and how you say
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			those things will change, and this is in
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			general conversation.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			You know, when a person is,
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			speaking lightly to to his his spouse, for
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			example, or a person who's speaking to his
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			children, he's not gonna be shouting most of
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			the time unless he's upset with them. Most
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			of the time, he'll be soft with them.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			He'll be gentle with them, and this is
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			in the nature of an individual. When a
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			person is talking about a serious issue, a
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			serious matter with his family or a meeting
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			at work or something like this, again, it's
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:21
			something which has that because in that context,
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			he speaks seriously.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			He doesn't joke around as much when a
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			person thinks about money. You know, most of
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			the time, they're serious. It's a serious business
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			sale. You know, when
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:32
			when when people talk about money, when they
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			have a meeting with their, you know, accountant
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			or something, the bank the bank manager. So
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			depending on the situation, depending on the circumstances,
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			the the the way a person speaks, the
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:43
			tone in which you say something
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			differs and it changes.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			And we see the beauty,
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			of of this with the messenger of Allah
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52
			a sata wa salaam when he's giving sermons.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			And this is a lesson to myself and
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			and and and all of us that when
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			we speak and especially if we're involved in,
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			you know, circles and lectures and and
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			even sermons, which, you know, some of us
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			may be in those situations where we might
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			have to give a sermon. You know, we
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			may be in a in a university or
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			at a workplace or we may be in
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			a place where they might ask one of
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:12
			you to give a reminder or to give
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			the chutba even. And so we have to
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:15
			understand that
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			depending on the context and the things that
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			we're talking about, a person's speech will change.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			A person's level of, you know, his tone
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			of voice and and the volume of his
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			voice will change and increase and decrease because
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:28
			of the things that he says. And we
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			see this with with this hadith of the
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			messenger of Allah SWA. You know, when he
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			was speaking about the hellfire, it's not something
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			that we should be
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			soft with. It's not something that we should
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			be smiling when we talk about it because
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			it's a serious issue. And so the messenger
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			of the world here when he's speaking, he's
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			raising his voice,
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			you know, and he's shouting to the extent
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			that the people outside of the masjid could
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			hear him, you know, those who were in
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			the marketplace.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			So this shows you that depending on the
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			context of what you're saying, you have to
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			use the appropriate appropriate, you know, methods of
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			speech. And this is a lesson in public
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:04
			speaking from the messenger of Allah, SAWSAW. You
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			know, how he would raise and lower his
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			voice and how he would speak when he
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09
			was talking about different things. And, also,
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			the the scholars they talk about when someone
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			recites Quran,
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			a similar thing that when a person talks
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			about, punishments
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			and the anger of Allah and the adab
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and the hellfire,
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala when when he
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			recite when he mentions these things in the
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			Quran, the imam or the one reciting should
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			raise his voice
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			because these things are things which are, you
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			know, it should go straight to the heart.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			It should put fear in the heart of
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			an individual.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			And then when a person talks about paradise,
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			when a person talks about the rewards of
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he should speak in
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:45
			a soft voice.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48
			You know? And when when Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			ta'ala mentions people who are speaking
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			and those individuals
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			are saying good things, likewise,
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			the voice should, you know, sound
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:59
			in in a in such a way that
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			those things are things which are good.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			You know? And so on and so forth.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			Any anytime you recite the Quran, the the
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			because this increases a person's,
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			you know, it increases a person's in the
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			prayer. When you're able to understand and you
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:14
			know what you're reciting and then, you know,
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			you you change how you recite depending on
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			what you're reciting.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			You know? Because then it gives you a
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			deeper understanding
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			of the meanings of of the of the
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			ayat which is being recited.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:25
			And based,
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			having said this now that we've said this,
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
			we understand
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			a story or something which Imam Malik mentions
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			with regards to Omar Ibn Abdul Aziz.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			He said once he was reciting this surah,
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43
			Surah Tullayl. And he was in in the
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			salah, he was reciting the surah, and when
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			he reached this ayah, which
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:53
			I have warned you of Naram Talavar, of
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54
			a fierce place.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			He said or Imam Malik said that
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03
			when he recited this surah, he reached this
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:08
			aya. And as soon as he reached this
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:11
			ayah, He said that he started to choke
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:11
			up
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			because of the lesson from this ayah,
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			and so he he he he became quiet.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			He couldn't recite the surah
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:22
			because of the serious implications of this of
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			this Ayah, because it's the words the speech
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:27
			of Allah. And then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28
			is warning you. You know, if your if
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			your manager if your boss gives you a
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:31
			warning, it's a big thing.
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:33
			It's a serious
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			thing. You know, we get scared.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			We think this is maybe my last warning.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:40
			You know, if our parents, for example, those
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:40
			who are young
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			and even those who are older, when your
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			parents tell you off, it's some it's you
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			know, you're you're a bit more careful.
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47
			You know, you have to you're you're you're
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			you're scared
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			to a certain extent.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:53
			And so anytime someone warns your teacher, for
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			example, when they give you a warning, it
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			brings about a certain element of fear. Whereas
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			here, Allah
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:02
			himself is warning. He's giving the warning for
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			I'm warning all of you. I have warned
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			all of you of the hellfire. And look
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			at what he's warning us of. Not the
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			fact that we're gonna lose our job or
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
			we're gonna be told off or we're going
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			to lose some money or we're going to,
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			you know, be expelled or get a detention
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			or something like this. But here, Allah subhanahu
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			wa ta'ala is warning us of the hellfire
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:22
			itself. A fire which once a person enters,
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:25
			there's no greater punishment than that. There's nothing
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			which is as painful as the fire of
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			the hellfire. So Amr ibn Abdel Aziz, when
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:30
			he recited this,
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			he started to choke up. He couldn't carry
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			on, and so he became quiet. And he
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			did he tried reciting this aya three times,
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			and he couldn't recite it. He couldn't recite
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:42
			this aya. And so then after he wasn't
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:45
			able to recite this aya, he changed surah
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			and he recited instead.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			And he just recited instead.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			So this shows you, you know, the the
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			way the salaf were when it came to
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			reciting the Quran.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			You know, and how they would contemplate
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			over ayaat. And this is the same with
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			the messenger
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			and the companions. You know, similar stories I
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			mentioned about how they would recite and they
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05
			would just break down crying.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:07
			When he was,
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:08
			the
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:11
			during the lifetime of the messenger,
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			after the messenger, the prophet passed away, he
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:15
			stopped giving.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			And once
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			called him to give the, and when he
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			gave the, he reached
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			and he couldn't carry on.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			And that's with the adhan. It wasn't even
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:26
			ayat of the Quran. You know? Because he
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:26
			had this
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:27
			this
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			and he had this he he felt what
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:31
			he was reciting. You know? He he had
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:34
			this feeling, and he would always remember, the
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:35
			messenger of whenever
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:36
			he would
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			make the adhan after that, especially when you
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:41
			when you got a specific phrase. So it
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:42
			shows you how
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			contemplation and, you know, thinking about what a
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			person is reciting has an effect on the
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			heart. And this is the the the ultimate
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			aim with regards to reciting the book of
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:54
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:55
			Ta'ala says, I
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			have wound you of a fierce place. And
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			then Allah says
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			That none will burn in it except
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			those who are Ashkar.
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:10
			And Ashkar,
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:14
			the scholars they said is referring to the
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:14
			disbelievers
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			or the one who has no fear of
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in his heart.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			No one is going to burn in it
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:26
			except for those who are the disbelievers,
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			or those who have no fear in their
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			heart. And this doesn't mean that it's only
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			those who are disbelievers will enter into the
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			hellfire because even those who commit sins from
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:35
			the Muslims,
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			okay, they'll be held to account for the
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			sins that they did. But the reason why
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			this is mentioned is to show the seriousness
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			of the actions of those who commit these
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			types of sins, which are mentioned in this
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			Surah. And this is why Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			ta'ala mentions these people specifically.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:53
			And the scholars, they talk about Ashkar, the
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			shakih. And they said that,
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			the the shakih or the shakah
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:03
			Ashka is the same form as when we
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			say Akbar. Kabir is someone who's big. Akbar
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			is the biggest.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:10
			Is someone who is evil, someone who's sinful,
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			an evil individual, a bad person. Ashka is
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			the worst of the worst.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			Is like the worst of the worst. And
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			they said there is someone who's a a
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			disbeliever or someone who has no fear of
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in his heart. And
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:28
			when he commits a sin, he isn't afraid
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			when he commits that sin.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			Or when once he commits that sin, he
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			doesn't have guilt or fear in his heart
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			with regards to the punish to the to
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			the sin which he's done and the punishment
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			of Allah as a result of that sin
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			that he's done. And, you know, when someone,
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:43
			sins,
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			generally speaking,
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
			and those who those who have some element
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			of iman, whenever they commit a sin, they
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:51
			feel guilty.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			You know, when they're about to commit a
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
			sin, sometimes a person is about to commit
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:58
			a sin and he's he has this fear
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:58
			in his heart.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			You know, it's like as if the body,
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			the, the natural inclination of the human being
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			doesn't, you know,
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:07
			doesn't push him, doesn't enable him to be
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			able to commit that sin because he knows
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			it's something which isn't right.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			And this is this is something from his
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			iman which is preventing him from doing this.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			You know? And also, when a person if
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			a person does commit a sin, he feels
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:22
			this sense of guilt. You know? This this
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			fear. As if the punishment of Allah subhanahu
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			wa ta'ala will come upon him there and
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			then. And this is why the companions, they
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:28
			would say
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:29
			that,
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			you know, the the true believer
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			is the one who
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			when he commits a sin, it's like even
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39
			if it's a small sin, it's like as
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			if it's a mountain above him that's about
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			to collapse on him
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:45
			because he he he's concerned for the actions
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			and the deeds that he does in this
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			world. And even a small sin, he regards
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			it as something big in his sight.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			And this is why they said that the
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:54
			one who commits
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			a sin and then he is like as
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			if he's just a fly in front of
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00
			him that is swatting away. You know, this
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			individual, he's not taking his sins seriously. He's
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04
			not thinking about the implications
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			of those sins.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			And so we realize the contrast between the
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			2. On this surah, it talks about the
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:13
			contrast between those who commit sins and those,
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:16
			who do good deeds and their rewards. And
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala he says,
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:21
			he
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			who denies and
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:24
			turns away.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:26
			Now
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:27
			can mean someone who lies.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			And also it can mean someone
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:33
			who refuses and rejects something outright.
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			So it has two meanings. And here it's
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			referring to someone who denies.
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			So what exactly is he denying?
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			He's denying basically the hellfire.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46
			He's denying
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			Islam itself. He's denying
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			the the rewards and the punishments of Allah.
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:54
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala himself, the worship of
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			Allah, all of these things, the Quran.
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			So he's denying Islam. He's denying the fact
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			that there is a God and that he's
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:04
			obligated to worship Allah subhanahu wa Allah Subhanahu
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:07
			Wa Ta'ala. Meaning the one who will
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:09
			be punished in the hellfire is the one
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:10
			who denies
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:13
			Islam, the one who denies certain, you know,
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			obligations
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:15
			upon him
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. He commits sins
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			when he knows that there's that there's sins
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:23
			which he should stay away from and
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:26
			the one who denies
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			and the one who turns away. Mean who
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:31
			he turns away from the obligations which he's
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			supposed to do. He knows he's supposed to
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35
			do them. The time for salah comes and
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:38
			he ignores the time the the salah. He
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:38
			doesn't pray.
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:42
			Knowing for for show that he's supposed to
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			pray and the time for prayer has come.
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			The person, for example, watches something. He sees
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48
			something.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			Okay. He's watching something on his laptop. He
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			knows it's something which is haram, but he
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			continues to watch it knowing there is something
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			which is forbidden.
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			The individual, he knows he's supposed to fast
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			in the month of Ramadan. You know, he
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			knows he's supposed to give for the sake
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:02
			of Allah, give Zakah,
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:04
			but he doesn't give.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			You know, he doesn't do these deeds even
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			when he knows he's supposed to do them.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			And the messenger, Ravala Alaihi Sahu Wa Salam,
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:12
			he said,
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			He said that,
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:17
			the
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			no one will enter the except the.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:24
			And so the companions, they said to him,
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:27
			they said, who is the, oh messenger of
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:28
			Allah? And he said,
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			the one who doesn't act
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			with righteousness in this world.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			And he doesn't leave for the sake of
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			Allah any type of sin.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			Meaning any sin that he can think of
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			under the sun, he commits those sins. He
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:46
			doesn't leave anything,
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			you know, left any stone unturned with regard
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:51
			to the sins that he commits. And also,
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:54
			the messenger, Ravala Salam, he mentioned another hadith.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			He
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:57
			said,
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:59
			He said, every single person
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:02
			from my will enter into paradise
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:04
			except for the one who refuses,
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			except for the one who refuses.
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			Now who is going to refuse? Who will
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			refuse to enter paradise? So the companions, they
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:14
			said, who will refuse? How can someone refuse
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			to enter paradise, oh Messenger of Allah? And
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:17
			so he said,
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:22
			Whoever obeys me will enter into paradise.
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:29
			Whoever disobeys
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:30
			me,
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			then he is that individual who has
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			rejected
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:36
			paradise itself.
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			He's refused paradise.
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42
			The one who has, you know,
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:44
			disobeyed me,
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			he is someone who has rejected paradise itself.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			So we understand from this hadith that the
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:50
			way
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			to salvation and the way to paradise is
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			through obedience of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:56
			the messenger
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			And then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he says,
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			So now he's he's he's spoken about those
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			who commit sins and their consequences. What's going
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			to happen to them? And
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			in this ayah and the next few ayah,
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:15
			Allah will talk about those who do good
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:16
			deeds and the righteous.
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:19
			And we see a pattern in many ayah
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:22
			where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he'll mention those
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:23
			who do good and then he'll mention those
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			who do bad. Or he'll mention those who
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			do bad first and then he'll mention those
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:28
			who do good. And this is a con
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:30
			you know, it's a recurring theme in the
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			Quran where he'll mention the good and then
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			he'll mention the bad or vice versa. He'll
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			always you know, he a lot a lot
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:37
			of times he'll mention both.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:38
			And this is part
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:39
			of.
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			Any, things which bring about fear and things
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:45
			which bring about hope. You're afraid of how
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:47
			far, but it's not all fear. It's not
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:48
			all doom and gloom,
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			but there's hope as well. And it's not
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:52
			just all hope at the same time. There's
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:53
			also
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55
			the stick on the couch as they say.
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:58
			You know, punishment and also rewards. So Allah
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			now, he talks about those who do good
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:01
			deeds.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:05
			Says, but the devout
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			comes from the word.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			And again is a similar type of word,
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:13
			which means those who are most devout, those
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:15
			who are most righteous, those who have the
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:15
			most.
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			Means those who will avoid.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:24
			Those who will avoid it.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28
			Meaning, those who are
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			the most devout, those who are the most
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:31
			righteous
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			will avoid the hellfire.
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			They'll be saved from the hellfire.
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:38
			And the word,
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:40
			or
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			it comes from it comes from the same,
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:44
			root word
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45
			as the word.
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
			You know, a person is when he has
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:51
			relations with his spouse, and he has to
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:52
			stay away from what?
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:54
			From the salah.
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			He can't pray until he performs.
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
			So the state of of jonub means that
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:02
			he has to avoid something. He has to
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			keep away from something.
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			When a person has is is jonub, he's
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			keeps away and stays away from the salah
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			specifically, and he has to keep away from
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			touching the most half itself, the Quran, until
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:16
			he performs ghusl. And here Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:17
			ta'ala mentions a similar word.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			That the one who is devout will avoid,
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			meaning he'll stay away from. And the scholars,
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:25
			they say that this word means
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:27
			he's going to be far away
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:28
			from
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			he's going to be far away from the
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33
			hellfire. And this is why Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:33
			ta'ala,
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:35
			he says in
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:44
			that verily those who proceed with regards to
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:46
			entering paradise,
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:48
			they will be
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			the the most further away from
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:52
			from hellfire.
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54
			Meaning, they won't enter into,
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			into hellfire into into hellfire. And also the
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:58
			messenger,
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			he talked about,
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:03
			the one who's dunu,
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:05
			the the one who, is in a state
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:06
			of Janaba that
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			the angels themselves stay away from that person.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:12
			They avoid that person, and they don't approach
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			that individual along with the
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			the dead non Muslim. The non Muslim who
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			is dead, we all know the the famous
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			hadith when the soul is taken from the
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			non Muslim, the angels stay away from that
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:24
			person. And they they say, what is his
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			stench? What is his smell? As it goes
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:27
			up into the heavens, and then it's thrown
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:28
			back into the body.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:30
			And also,
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			3 people, the the dead non Muslim, the
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			one who's in the state of Janaba, and
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			the man who perfumes himself with saffron,
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:41
			a specific type of perfume which women basically
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:44
			use. And it's a sort of imitation of
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:46
			of of women. So these are the 3
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			types of people whom the messenger
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:51
			said that the angels stay away from.
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:54
			Is,
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			word which comes from the same root as
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			someone who has righteousness, someone who has fear
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:01
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. We mentioned this
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:05
			before that is when you put between yourself
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:07
			and the punishment of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:10
			a barrier, and that barrier is good deeds.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
			And these can be either things that you
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14
			do or things you stay away from.
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:17
			So obligations which Allah has set upon you
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:17
			or,
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:21
			things which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has forbidden
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
			for you and you stay away from them.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			And many of the scholars they say that,
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28
			this ayah and the next few ayah, they
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:31
			refer to Abu Bakr radiallahu and himself.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:34
			They say that these ayah was
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37
			because he was one of the most,
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41
			of of the of the of those from
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:42
			the companions who would fear Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43
			ta'ala. He was from the greats of the
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:46
			companions. The great companion the the great companion
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:47
			on the face of this earth of the
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			messenger of Allah SWA. So they said this
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:52
			ayah and the following ayah are referring to,
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			Abu Bakr radiallahu an. And, also, they use
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:58
			this, ayah to also say that this is
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			one of the proofs that he should have
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			been the the leader after the messenger of
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			Allah SWA. Because what does the ayah say?
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:04
			And
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08
			has two meanings. Just like when we say
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:08
			Akbar,
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			it has two meanings. It can mean
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			the the biggest and it can also mean
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			the bigger.
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			So we say for example, Huwa Akbar or
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:18
			Minh Hua. He is bigger than him. But
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			also it can mean Al Akbar meaning the
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:21
			the biggest.
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:23
			And so here they say but if it
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:25
			refers to it
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:27
			means the one who has the most righteousness,
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:29
			the one who has the most taqwa.
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:31
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he says in
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:32
			another
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:52
			ayah. So he's now describing
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:55
			those who have taqwa. What are the characteristics
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:56
			of those individuals,
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:58
			who have taqwa?
		
00:28:58 --> 00:28:59
			And he says,
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:05
			he who gives his money to become pure.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			And this is another characteristic
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07
			of.
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			And some of them,
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:11
			they say in fact,
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:13
			in this case,
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:16
			probably more so than the messenger of Rasoolam,
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:16
			he gave wealth
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:17
			wasalam,
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:19
			he
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:21
			gave wealth because he was a businessman. He
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:21
			was wealthier. So in this category, you could
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:23
			say he gave more wealth for the sake
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:24
			of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And the messenger
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:27
			of Allah wasalam had a higher status obviously
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:28
			with the fact that he was the one
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:31
			who was given the responsibility of giving Dawah
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:32
			to the whole of mankind.
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:35
			And so you see how Abu Bakr radiya
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:38
			lahu an, this specific ayah also relates to
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:39
			him with regards to his wealth. And we
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:41
			all know the stories of how he, you
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:42
			know, gave wealth,
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:45
			you know, to free slaves. He bought Bilal
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:47
			radiallahu an and other companions, and then he
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			would set them free. And so this shows
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:50
			you
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:54
			the the the generosity and the the taqwa
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:55
			that Abu Bakr radiallahu an,
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			the the the Abu Bakr radiaallahu an had.
		
00:29:59 --> 00:29:59
			And,
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:01
			the word
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:02
			the
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:06
			one who gives his money to become pure.
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:08
			Yet, the zakah comes from the same root
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10
			word as zakah, and
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			And zakah is the money that you give
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:15
			every single year, okay, for the sake of
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:17
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to those who are
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:18
			in need of it. And zakah itself has
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			two meanings.
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:20
			Zakah
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:22
			has two meanings. It
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:25
			It can mean,
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:29
			purification and it could also mean increase.
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:31
			So it has two meanings. When we talk
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32
			about zakah linguistically,
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:35
			it has these 2 these 2 specific meanings.
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:38
			And when a person gives wealth,
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:40
			he's doing 2 things. He's purifying
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:42
			the wealth that he has
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			and purifying his soul,
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:48
			purifying his deeds, extinguishing, you know, sins,
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			getting rid of sins.
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:53
			You know, when a person does good deeds,
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:54
			it extinguishes bad deeds.
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:57
			And at the same time, he's increasing in
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:58
			his wealth.
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:02
			The messenger of the he said that wealth
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:03
			doesn't decrease
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			by you giving in charity. So both of
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:06
			these meanings,
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:09
			make sense when we talk about the actual
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			zakah that we give, for the sake of
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:13
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And giving money for
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:16
			Allah's sake is a means of purifying one's
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:16
			wealth.
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:18
			It's a means of purifying one's wealth. And
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			that's why, you know, when we say
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:21
			means
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:24
			purification of the soul.
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:27
			So a person purifies his soul by doing
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:28
			good deeds.
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			And when a person commits sins,
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:31
			his,
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:34
			you know, his his soul isn't pure anymore.
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:37
			You know, his soul becomes impure. And this
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:38
			is why we know that famous hadith when
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:40
			a person commits sins, black dots are put
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:43
			onto the heart. You know? And his heart
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:45
			start his heart starts to become hard. And
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:47
			this shows us that
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			when a person gives for the sake of
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:54
			it purifies himself. As a result of this,
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:55
			it brings about true happiness
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:59
			because you're doing what you were created to
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:00
			do
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			which is to worship Allah. And when you
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:03
			give for the sake of Allah, when you
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:06
			give zakah, when you give sadaqa, you're worshiping
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:06
			Allah
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:08
			through your wealth.
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:11
			You can worship Allah, you know, through through
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:14
			your through your inner acts of worship like
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16
			fear and hope. You can worship Allah physically
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:17
			with your body like prayer and so on
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:19
			and so forth, and you can worship Allah
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:21
			with your wealth itself. So when you give
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:23
			for the sake of Allah, you're actually worshiping
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:25
			Allah through your wealth. And when you're doing
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:26
			things which
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:29
			you were created to do, it's going to
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:30
			bring about
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:33
			and tranquility and peace to the heart because
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			that's what you were created for. You were
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:36
			created to worship Allah. And so when a
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:39
			person starts to collect and amass wealth and
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:41
			use it for other means, he's not going
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:43
			to find that contentment. You know, sometimes we
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:45
			think money basically will make us the happiest
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:47
			people in the world. It's going to give
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:49
			us everything. It'll it'll give you happiness, but
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:51
			money doesn't give you happiness. Palm, I was
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:51
			reading today
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:52
			have
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:55
			they say 70%
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:57
			of lottery winners, those who, like, you know,
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:01
			win the lottery, they lose all of them
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:03
			all of their money after 7 years.
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:05
			They lose you all.
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:08
			And you think about you know, sometimes we
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:10
			think those people are so fortunate.
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:12
			Yeah. And we know a lot of reason
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:14
			which is haram, but sometimes, you know, we
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:16
			think Muslims sometimes think this is amazing. You
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:18
			know, they they they they got, like, so
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:19
			much money. They can do whatever they want.
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:21
			But you realize, hamla, is such a burden
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:22
			upon the individual.
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:25
			And even when you think about it, 5,000,
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:25
			£10,000
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:27
			is feasible. You know, if you think about
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:29
			things that you do around the house, £50,000,000
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:32
			as a burden on on the on the
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:33
			mind and on the heart
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:35
			because you don't know what to do with
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:36
			it. And it's
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:38
			you don't know what to do with it,
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:39
			how you're going to do things with it,
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:41
			where you're going to where you're going to
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:42
			spend that money, how you're going to spend
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:43
			it, and whom are you going to spend
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:47
			it with people you knew? Now their intentions
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			have changed. You don't know who's sincere anymore.
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:51
			You don't know if your heart's sincere when
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:53
			you do things. You're stressing about the money.
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:55
			How are you going to spend it? Whether
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:56
			it's going to be spent properly? And then
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:58
			when it goes to waste, you start panicking.
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:00
			You know, you think of all of these
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:01
			things. People start to think of you in
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:03
			a different way because of the money that
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:04
			you have now.
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:06
			You're not the same person. So you
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:08
			you see, subhanAllah, how this money and people
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
			have committed suicide.
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:12
			You know, you I heard about about I
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:14
			was reading today about lottery winners. They they
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:16
			committed suicide because of of the money that
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:18
			they won. You know, one person tried to
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:20
			commit suicide twice, and he he he wasn't
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:20
			successful.
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:23
			And, Uskammer, you you hear these stories about
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:26
			these individuals and how there was a woman
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:27
			who
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:30
			became wealthy. She won the lottery and, you
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:32
			know, started to have some surgery done on
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:32
			herself and,
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:35
			she spent all her all her money just
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:35
			partying.
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:37
			And after a few years, she she lost
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:39
			all the money. Now she's living, you know,
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:42
			in in a council somewhere. And she's, she
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:44
			has 2 2 kids that she's a single
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:44
			mother of.
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:46
			And, his father, these types of things you
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:48
			you read and you realize sometimes it's a
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:50
			blessing when you don't have money.
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:52
			Sometimes it's a blessing when you don't have
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:54
			no money or when you have a small
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:55
			amount of money. And this is why the
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:58
			messenger, he said that I'm not afraid that
		
00:34:58 --> 00:35:00
			you're going to be unfortunate, that you're not
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:01
			going to be wealthy.
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:03
			That's not something I'm afraid for you. What
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:04
			I'm afraid for you is that you're going
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:06
			to have money, and it'll be a source
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:08
			of trial and tribulation for you. And this
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:09
			is the case. This is what we see
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:11
			now. People who have wealth,
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:13
			they're they're less happy than those who don't
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:14
			have any
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:16
			money. They're more content with whatever riches that
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:18
			they have. And this is why the messenger,
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:22
			he said, true wealth isn't with money itself,
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:23
			but the one who is content with what
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:24
			he has.
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:26
			The one who's just happy with whatever he
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:28
			has, that's the that's the person who's really
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:30
			wealthy and truly happy in this world and
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:32
			in the hereafter. And then Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:33
			ta'ala, he says
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:35
			after he says,
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:38
			he who gives his money to become pure,
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:41
			to purify himself, his soul, to purify his
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:41
			wealth,
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:43
			to purify his good deeds on the day
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:44
			of judgment.
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:50
			And he's seeking no favor in return.
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:54
			He doesn't expect anyone to repay the favor
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:56
			when he does something good for another person.
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:58
			You know, sometimes we do something for someone
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:00
			or someone does a favor for us and
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:01
			they're expecting something in return.
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:04
			Or we remember what we did with them,
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:05
			the favor we did.
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:07
			And so, you know, a few weeks later,
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:09
			a few months later, a year later, you
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:11
			know, we go to them and we say,
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:12
			do you remember what I did for you?
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:13
			You need to pay me back now. It's
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:14
			payback time
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:16
			because of what because of what I did
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:19
			last year or last month or 2 years
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:19
			ago.
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:22
			And so we have to remember that when
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:24
			a person does a good deed, he shouldn't
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:27
			expect anything from back from that individual
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:29
			because his reward is with Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:31
			ta'ala. It's deposited now. If your intention is
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:33
			sincere and is not doing
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:37
			it for favor
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:40
			and to seek rewards from that individual himself.
		
00:36:40 --> 00:36:42
			If he's doing it for the sake of
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:44
			Allah, then that deed is stored with Allah
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:47
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala regardless if that person pays
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:48
			you back or not.
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:53
			And this shows us the the
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:55
			the importance of sincerity.
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:57
			Whenever we do a good deed, it shouldn't
		
00:36:57 --> 00:36:58
			be
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:02
			expecting something in return from that individual that
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:03
			we do that good deed for.
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:05
			And even if we do a favor for
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:06
			somebody else, but it should be purely for
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:08
			the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:13
			This is where Allah says, except the one
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:16
			who seeks the acceptance of his lord, the
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:17
			most high.
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:20
			The one who when he does a good
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:22
			deed, he's only seeking the pleasure of Allah
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:25
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. He's only seeking the the
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:25
			happiness
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:28
			that he will be given from Allah subhanahu
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:30
			wa ta'ala on the day of judgment. And
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:34
			he will for sure be satisfied.
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:37
			Sulfa means something which will happen in the
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:37
			future.
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:39
			And the lamb
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:40
			is emphasis.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:43
			For sure this individual,
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:45
			he will be satisfied
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:47
			on the day of judgment.
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:50
			So anyone who has this characteristic
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:53
			of being generous with regards to his wealth
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:55
			and doing it purely for the sake of
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:55
			Allah,
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:57
			this individual,
		
00:37:58 --> 00:37:59
			he will be satisfied,
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:02
			he will be happy with whatever Allah, subhanahu
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:03
			wa ta'ala, gives him on the day of
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:05
			judgment. And as I mentioned before, many of
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:06
			them of Assirun,
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:08
			they say that these ayat
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:09
			and,
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:11
			some of them of Assirun, some of the
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:13
			scholars they said with Ijma'a.
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:17
			They said that that this is basically unanimous
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:19
			consensus of the scholars of
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:21
			the that is referring
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:23
			to Abu Bakr radiAllahu. And this
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:27
			is basically Ijmaq that is referring to specifically
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:29
			to Abu Bakr radiAllahu. And
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:32
			really if this ayah or if this ayat
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:33
			were to be referred to,
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:35
			anyone, then it would be for Abu Bakr
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:38
			radiAllahu and the greatest of the companions. And
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:39
			so it shows you,
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:40
			his status,
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:44
			in the sight of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:45
			And
		
00:38:45 --> 00:38:47
			we'll conclude with this hadith where the messenger,
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:49
			he said,
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:50
			that whoever is,
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:52
			responsible for
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:54
			equipping and providing,
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:57
			belongings or provisions
		
00:38:58 --> 00:38:59
			for 2 animals
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:02
			for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:04
			then the gatekeepers of paradise will call to
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:05
			that individual
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:08
			saying, oh, slave of Allah, this is something.
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:10
			This is a good deed. You've done something
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:12
			which is good. And so Abu Bakr radiAllahu
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:14
			anhu said, oh, messenger of Allah, is there
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:14
			anyone
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:17
			whose call from them
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:19
			who would not have,
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:22
			Yani, is there anyone who will be called
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:25
			from all of the gatekeepers of paradise, all
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:27
			of the gates of paradise? And so the
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:29
			messenger, Rabbi Waselehi, said, yes, and I hope
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:31
			that you will be from one of those
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:33
			individuals who will be called from all of
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:35
			the gates of paradise. And this is similar
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:36
			to the hadith where the messenger of the
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:38
			Lord was telling talks about the gates of
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:39
			paradise itself.
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:40
			And,
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:42
			it said that Abu Bakr radiAllahu wanhu will
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:43
			be from those who would be given the
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:45
			option to enter into paradise through,
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:49
			any of the gates of of Jannah. And
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:51
			so this concludes the tafsir
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:52
			of Suratulay.
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:54
			And
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:57
			to summarize this had this this Surah, basically,
		
00:39:57 --> 00:39:59
			it refers
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:00
			to
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:04
			that, you know, your your deeds are varied.
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:07
			And Allah goes into detail with regards to
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:08
			those who do good deeds and those who
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:11
			commit sins, and the rewards and punishments of
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:11
			those individuals.
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:14
			And that to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, there's
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:15
			only 2 categories.
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:17
			And there's people who do good and there's
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:19
			people who do evil. And the greatest good
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:21
			that any individual can do is the worship
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:22
			of Allah.
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:25
			And that's the only good that individual can
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:27
			do. If a person isn't a Muslim and
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:29
			he's doing good deeds, he'll be rewarded in
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:31
			this world. But as for the Aqirah, he
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:33
			won't be given anything
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:36
			because the reason why he was created is
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:37
			something which he's ignoring,
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:40
			which is the worship of Allah. That's why
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:42
			you that's the essence of why you were
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:44
			created. That's the essence of your creation as
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:46
			a human being. That's the
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:49
			the the nature of of of your soul
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:50
			which, you know,
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:52
			really
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:54
			is eager to to do what it was
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:56
			created to do. And so when you're when
		
00:40:56 --> 00:40:58
			you're given this blessing of being a Muslim
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:00
			and worshiping Allah, you've achieved
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:04
			that that ultimate goal of the the rewards
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:05
			of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And the more
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:07
			a person worships Allah and does good deeds,
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:10
			the more Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will reward
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:11
			him in this life and in the hereafter.
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:14
			And those individuals who commit sins, they will
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:16
			be punished as a result of it. Regardless
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:18
			of what background that person comes from, what
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:21
			city or what country, if he's wealthy or
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:22
			if he's poor,
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:25
			any individual who does things for the sake
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:27
			of Allah and worships Allah, he'll be rewarded.
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:28
			And as far as Allah
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:30
			is concerned, these
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:33
			are the the two main categories with regards
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:34
			to,
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:36
			his slaves on this earth and the time
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:38
			that we have on this earth. And,
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:40
			next week, we'll continue
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:42
			with the tafsir of,
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:44
			the next
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:47
			Surah which is, Surah to Shams inshallah,
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:49
			next week. And we'll,
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:52
			finish here. If anybody has any questions, then
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:53
			I'll do my best to answer them.
