00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			If the brothers who are against the walls,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			if they wanna come closer, inshallah, unless you've
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			got a back problem, then I'm not gonna
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			force you to come forward.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			Inshallah, today we're going to be,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:23
			covering
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:25
			the last
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			or the first surah of
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			Juzi Ama, 30th Juz,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			which is going to be our last,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:36
			surah,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			before the month of Ramadan starts because Ramadan
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			is a few weeks
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			away. We're gonna spend inshallah 2 weeks
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			on this Surah,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			and we may have another class
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:51
			after that.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			But this will definitely for sure be the
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			last Surah we're going to be covering
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			inshallah. So Alhamdulillah.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			We thank Allah
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			that he's given us the ability to be
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			able to complete the whole of Juzi Amma.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			We started last
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			year or the year before last.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			It's been so long. I don't remember,
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			but we started Surah Nas. Well, we started
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			Surah Fatiha initially. It was Surah Fatiha. It
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			was a year before last.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			And after Fatiha, we started with the smaller
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			Surah of,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			Juzi Ama, the last Surah, and then we
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			went in that order. So Alhamdulillah,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			we're here at this last Surah or the
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			first Surah of Juzi Ama, the last Surah
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			we're gonna be covering,
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			from Jazhi Amah Inshallah.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			And last week, we talked about,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			a famous
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			scholar of Islam from the Tabi'in. Who remembers
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			who that was?
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:51
			What was his
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			name? Because, you know, I think sometimes we
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			we do these lectures every week,
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			and, you know, we leave and we forget
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			everything we we we had.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			And we come back the following week, and
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			we're not building.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			We don't build on what we learn.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			So it's important for us to build on
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			whatever we've learned, you know, remember things. Otherwise,
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			it's just like you're starting again every single
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			week. You're just starting again and again and
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			again, and it's not really, you you know,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:20
			developing.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			What was the name of the Tabiri?
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			The famous Tabiri?
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			Sa'id?
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			Al Musayeb or
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			Al Musayeb.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			Some scholar said Musayeb. Some scholar said Musayeb.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			And we talked about his life.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			Who can mention some something about his life?
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:46
			Anything.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			The talk was over an hour long.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			So anything you can mention, inshallah.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			Anything you can mention.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			Excellent. Good. So he was one of the
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			7
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			of
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			Madinah. Excellent. Zakul Zahir.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			So he was one of the he took
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			a buddy for the team. Everyone else was
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			looking down.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			Like, I don't know. Look. I don't know
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			what to say. Zakul Zahir. So he was
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			one of the 7 fuqa'ah of,
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:13
			Madinah,
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			And we talked about his life,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			just like we've talked about the lives of
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:19
			other scholars.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			So, you know, it was it was interesting,
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			talking about,
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			his life and also the lives of other
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			scholars,
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			previously. Insha'Allah, maybe after Ramadan we'll continue talking
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			about the lives of scholars. I think it's
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			a good,
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			something good to do.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			So as I mentioned today, insha'Allah, we're going
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			to be covering the first
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			surah of Juzi Amma and it's surah number
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			78,
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			which is the famous surah
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			An Nabah.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			Ummei Tasah Alun.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			And the word An Nabah means what?
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			An Nabah means news.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			An Nabah means the news.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:00
			And Allah
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			in this surah, he starts off by asking
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			a question,
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			and he says,
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			What are they asking you about?
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			Now why is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala asking
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			the messenger of Allah SWAN,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			about what they're asking him if Allah azza
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			wa jal already knows?
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			Or doesn't he know?
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			A rhetorical question. Good.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			It's a rhetorical question. Just like when, for
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:32
			example,
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala talks to the angels
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			and he says, how did you leave my
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			slave on earth?'
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			when they go up to Allah.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			Of course, does Allah know how he left
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			how they left his slaves? Of course. So
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			what does he ask them?
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			So first of all, so that we can
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			benefit from the hadith.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			Otherwise, Allah wouldn't even say anything to the
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:54
			angels,
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			And it's also a a way of showing
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			one's majesty.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			You know, for example, if a king
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			says to one of his subordinates, he says,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			haven't I been been good to you?
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			The person doesn't say, yeah, of course you've
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			been good or you know that.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			Of course, the reason why he's asking is
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			to get the appropriate
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:15
			response.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			So likewise, when Allah says to the angels,
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			how did you leave my slave?
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			He wants the angels to
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:22
			talk about
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			the righteousness
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27
			and the good character of the slaves who
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			they left behind. What were they doing?
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			They left them behind worshiping Allah. They left
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			them while they were worshiping Allah, you know,
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			busy busying themselves in Ibadah.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			So this is why Allah mentions,
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			you know, mentions this where he asks the
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			angels this question. Same thing here. Same thing
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			with regards to other questions
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			that Allah asks in the Quran. So Allah,
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			he says,
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			what are they asking you about? And then
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			he answers himself in the second ayah.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			They're asking you about the great news.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			Now what's the great news here referring to?
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			The day of judgment. So the day of
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			judgment one of the names of the day
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			of judgment is,
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			which means the great news.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			Now how do you say the day of
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			judgment in Arabic?
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			That's what most people think when they,
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			you know, translate your, day of judgment into
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			Arabic. But in fact,
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			doesn't mean the day of judgment literally.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:35
			What is
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			what does mean?
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			Excellent. Day of judgment is.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			Means to judge,
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			measure, or judge. So what does
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:49
			mean?
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			Yeah. From,
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			which you're gonna be performing, you know, in
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00
			a few weeks. So means standing. So why
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			is the day of judgment called,
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			the day of standing?
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			Yeah. Because the day of judgment itself is
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			a is a long day, longer than any
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:11
			other day.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			So a person will be standing. And, of
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			course, we know the famous hadith of how
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			a a person will be standing according to
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			his sins. His sweat will rise a certain
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			level up to his knees, his hips, his
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			chest, his chin, and so on. So
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			there's many names for the day of judgment
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			which have been given in the Quran and
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			the sunnah of the messenger of
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			Allah is another name for the day of
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			judgment. What does mean?
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			And I'm reading many times in the day
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			when we say
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			king of
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			it's the day of judgment, but what does
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			Yom al Haysaab literally mean? Yom al Din,
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			what does it literally mean?
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			Owner of the day of
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			recompense.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			Yeah, somebody said it. Owner of the day
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			of recompense. What is what's recompense?
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			Good. Recompense
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			is paying somebody back.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			Now why is it called the day of
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			paying somebody back?
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			Why is Allah how is Allah is Allah
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			paying somebody back for a favor that and
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			for for him?
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			Excellent. Good.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			Because on the day of judgment and your
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			moodin, the day of recompense,
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			you'll be recompensed
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			with whatever you
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			did in this world.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			And in a way, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			does owe us
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			inshallah, if we do righteous deeds.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			Allah
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			has rights over us. We have rights over
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			Allah.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			Allah's right over us is that we worship
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			Allah and we don't associate partners with Him
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			as well as other rights.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			And our right over Allah
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			is that if we do good deeds, if
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			we do righteous deeds, Allah will admit us
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			into his gardens of eternal bliss
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:16
			paradise.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			So Allah does have certain things that that
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23
			he's that he's supposed to do for us
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			if we worship him, if we obey him.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			So this is why it's called yomudin,
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:28
			because
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			the word deen refers to recompense,
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			and the same word is used for religion
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			for the same reason, because we're going to
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:35
			be indebted.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			And also it's interesting the word
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			deen has the same root as the word
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:43
			deen.
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			What does deen mean?
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			Debt. Deen is debt
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			because you're indebted
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			or you're going to you owe somebody something.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			So your moodin is somebody who's owed,
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			something from Allah, whether it's paradise
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01
			as a result of his good deeds, or
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:01
			whether it's
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			hellfire as a result of his sins, you're
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			promised either one or the other. So then
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he says,
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			they're asking you about the great news,
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			about which they themselves are in disagreement. Meaning
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			people are divided with regards to the day
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			of judgment,
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			and,
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			some
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			consider it to be something which will take
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			place. Others
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			believe that it's something which won't happen.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala he says,
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			know they will come to know.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			Know again they will come to know. So
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala now mentions the same
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43
			ayah twice.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			That for sure they are eventually going to
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:48
			realize
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			that the day of judgment is in fact
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			true. And I was looking today about,
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			the ayat in the Quran or at the
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57
			ayat in the Quran which,
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			tackle issues raised to atheism.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			And in a way these ayat also tackle
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			this issue because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			talking about those who don't believe in the
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			day of judgment. Atheists Atheists don't believe in
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			the day of judgment. They think that's
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			it. And you know one of the
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			arguments that here Allah is putting forth
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			is whether you believe or whether you disbelieve,
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			at the end of the day, what's for
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			sure going to happen? The day of judgment
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			is for sure going to take place.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			Now
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:32
			sometimes, you know, people put this argument forward,
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			Muslims to non Muslims to atheists.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			They'll say to them, the atheist the atheist
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			will say, I don't believe in a god.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			I don't believe the day of judgement is
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			going to take place.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			Or they may say, I'm an agnostic. I
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:44
			don't know.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			I'm not sure about what's going to happen.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:48
			And
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			as Muslims,
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54
			a person will say let's say for example
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			there is nothing.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			Let's say there is nothing.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00
			Let's, for argument's sake, say there's nothing that's
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:00
			going to happen.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:02
			Then there's no issue.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			But what if there is? You're unsure about
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			the existence of a god. You're unsure about
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			the day of judgment taking place. What if
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			it is? Because you don't know.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16
			If you're an agnostic, you don't know. What
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			if there is a day of judgment
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:18
			and
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			you're not worshiping Allah?
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			Then you're going to suffer the consequences.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:26
			So logically,
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			if you were to do something,
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			if you were to choose something, you would
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			choose worshiping Allah just to be on
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:35
			the safe side.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			So here Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying,
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			they will surely come to know, meaning it's
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			for sure going to happen.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			So a person who worships Allah, believes in
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:48
			the day of judgment,
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			okay, is better than the one who doesn't
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54
			believe for the obvious reasons, obviously as a
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			muslim in terms of our iman and paradise
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			and so on and so forth, but the
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			agnostic it's better for him as well.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01
			Because if there is nothing, then he doesn't
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:02
			lose out anyway.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			He's lived his life as a as a
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:06
			Muslim worshiping
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:10
			Allah according to his mindset. If nothing happens,
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:11
			he's he's been doing good anyway. He's been
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:14
			helping people, doing good, doing good things, you
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			know, being good to eat, you know, showing
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			kindness and rusty and so on and so
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:18
			forth.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			And if there is the day of judgment
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			as we believe, then also he's gonna be
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			rewarded at the same time.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			So there's benefit,
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			you know, for him if he worships Allah.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			So it's beautiful how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			mentions certain things for sure are going to
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:34
			take place
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			and it should, you know, make a person
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			think
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:40
			that, you know, if a person was to
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:41
			weigh out the possibilities,
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:45
			then in certain situations, it's better for him
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:46
			to do one thing than the other.
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50
			And of course, with regards to a person's
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			intention and why he's become Muslim and what
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			his intentions are, what his motives are, that's
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:55
			between him and Allah
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			Because we know, for example, when Hamza
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			accepted Islam,
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			he accepted Islam
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:05
			because they were harming the messenger of Allah
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:05
			SWALLAM.
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:08
			Abu Jahl said the most vile things
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			in front of
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			the tribe of the prophet
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			and so the people complained. The women complained
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:15
			to hamza.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			Look at what what they're saying about your
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			your nephew. He's your own nephew.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			The meccans, look at what they're saying.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:24
			So he went to Abu Jahal when he
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:27
			came back from, hunting. He used to hunt
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:27
			tigers.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			So Hamza radiaallahuan was known to be a
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:30
			hunter
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			and used to hunt tigers and there were
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			lions and tigers in those days in the
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			desert in Arabia. Not anymore, but they used
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			to be. So he came back and he
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			heard the news. They told him, look this
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:41
			is what what he what he said. And
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			he was so angry, he went to Abujal
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			and he struck him with his bow across
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			the face.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			And so he said, how dare you curse
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			my nephew?
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			Whatever he says, I agree with.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			If you harm him, then you're harming me.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:57
			And then he realized he basically just accepted
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			the religion of Islam. So he went to
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			the prophet and he was worried. He said,
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			look, this is what happened and I don't
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:03
			know.
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			So the prophet said, whatever how do you
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			feel about what's in your heart?
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			You know, think about think about what's in
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			your heart and how you feel. So he
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			spent the night contemplating and thinking, and then
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			he realized that I'm upon Islam and I
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			believe in Allah. And so it took time
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			for him. The point is it took time
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			for him to eventually realize
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			what was on his tongue to be in
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:26
			his
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:28
			heart. So sometimes it takes time.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			And you know other other stories are also
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			mentioned. So a person doesn't question,
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36
			you know, a person's intention about why he
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			became Muslim. And this is why in the
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			time of Umar ibn Abdul Aziz, the famous
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:41
			leader of the Muslims and the scholar,
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			before he became Muslim, they would interrogate people
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			before they accept Islam.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:49
			They will question them
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			and they were very stringent. Anybody know why?
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			Because the muslims were flourishing
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:59
			and so people, subhanAllah, people would accept Islam
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			to be part of this thriving,
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			you know, empire.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			Just like people today, they copy, you know,
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			they used to copy Americans, probably still do,
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			you know, they copy western
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:14
			ideas and ideologies and clothing and language and
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			so on and so forth. It's just the
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			way it's always been. In those days, it
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			was the Arabic dress, you know, or the
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:22
			Muslim, the way Muslims were in terms of
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			the Arabic language and even the dress and
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:25
			so on and so forth.
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			And so Amr ibn Abdul Aziz, when he
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			became the leader, he realized this is incorrect
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			because if a person accepts Islam,
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:35
			we can't interrogate and judge and question why
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:38
			they accept Islam and whether their intention was
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:39
			sincere. That's between them and Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			ta'ala. There's nothing a person can do to
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:45
			step between him and his beliefs and his
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			connection with Allah azza wa jal and his
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:50
			sincerity. So here Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			point being is that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			is talking about the day of judgment and
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:58
			that is something which for sure is going
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00
			to take place. Then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			he says, didn't
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			we make the earth
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			as a bed
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			or as a flat surface.
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:10
			So Allah
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			shifts from talking about the day of judgment
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			to talking about
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			his creation. And the reason why he does
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			this is because
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			people are questioning the day of judgment,
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			and whether it's going to take place.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25
			So Allah
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			is now saying, if you're questioning the day
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:28
			of judgment,
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			then haven't we already made the earth as
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			a resting place, as a bed?
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			Haven't we already done all of these things?
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			What makes you so sure? Why are you
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			so doubtful about the day of judgment taking
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			place when all of these things around you,
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			everything you see around you is created by
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			me?
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
			Haven't we made the earth as a resting
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:48
			place?
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:52
			And we made the mountains
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			as pegs or as stakes in the ground.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:55
			And
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:00
			he talks about this ayah, and he says,
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			this is so that it may be suitable
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:03
			for living
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07
			and not quake with those who are in
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			it. So the earth doesn't shake as a
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:12
			result. And what's interesting is scientists recently,
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:15
			they discovered that the mountains do act as
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			pegs keeping the earth stable
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			and and and and secure.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			And in fact, you know, they said the
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:24
			mountains
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:25
			that we see,
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:29
			it's up it's just the smaller portion of
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			the mountain.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:31
			The
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			part of the mountain that's
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			underground,
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			that's under the earth is in fact more
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			than what we see,
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			you know, outside of the earth.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:43
			So even,
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:45
			even Kathir Rahimahullah,
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:49
			many years ago talked about how it's something
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:52
			which makes the earth stable and firm. And
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			this is from the miracle, scientific miracles of
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			the Quran in of itself. And sometimes, you
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			know, I mentioned these scientific
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			miracles of the Quran,
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			but it's something I don't like to dwell
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:05
			on. I don't talk about too much because
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:06
			science
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			is something which isn't 100%
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:10
			anyway.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:12
			It's theories and ideas,
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			and they're subject to
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			change. They can change over time, just as
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:17
			they have,
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19
			you know. So
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			when a person talks about these
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			these miracles in the Quran, which are, you
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			know, scientific, then
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:28
			those scientific
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			theories can be subject to change.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			And so if they do change and a
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:36
			person relies on them all the time, nonstop
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			talks about them, is, you know, uses them
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			as primary evidences,
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			then the problem is if they turn out
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			to be untrue, if they turn out to
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:45
			be false, if they turn out to be
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46
			incorrect,
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			then people will say, look, you know, your
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			Quran is doesn't have any
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			argument. It's baseless. It's wrong.
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54
			So that's why Islamically
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			is something which regardless if the Quran mentions
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			it or not, is something we believe.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			Regardless if the if science itself mentions it
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			or not, it's something we believe. If it's
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:07
			mentioned in the Quran, that's enough for
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:09
			us. And this is why the companions were
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			the were the were the best,
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			of,
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			of the followers of the prophet shalallahu alaihi
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			wa sallam because they believed without
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			knowing any of these things,
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			without seeing any of these
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:24
			signs that maybe we've seen today, or we've
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			heard about, or read about today. Allah Subhanahu
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:27
			Wa Ta'ala he says, didn't we make the
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29
			earth as a bed,
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			and we made the mountains as stakes,
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			and we created you in pairs.
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:40
			And we made your sleep
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			a means for rest.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:44
			When a person sleeps,
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			he falls asleep
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:50
			and it just seems like a few minutes
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			or a short amount of time, and then
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			he wakes up again after 5 or 6
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			or 7 hours in fact, even though it
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57
			doesn't seem like it was that long.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			And he wakes up and he's full of
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:00
			energy
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:03
			or he's supposed to be. He's full of
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05
			energy, full of vigor, full of strength,
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			wide awake, ready for the day.
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			And this in of itself is a miracle
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			because, you know, even scientists, they don't know
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			what happens when a person sleeps.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:17
			You know,
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:19
			why this happens.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:22
			And the the effects of prolongs
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:24
			of of of staying awake for a long
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:25
			time,
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:26
			okay,
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:29
			how a person isn't able to function,
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:33
			okay, scientists still don't understand what happens to
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35
			the body when you actually fall asleep.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			You know, up till today, obviously they have
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			their theories but they they don't know exactly
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:41
			what happens.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			And this in of itself is a miracle
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			of Allah. And this is why, you know,
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:47
			when we look at the miracles
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			of and the proof of Allah's existence,
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:52
			then as Allah says,
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			look at your own selves, don't you then
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			see? Don't you then realize?
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			There's so many things about us that even,
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:01
			you know,
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03
			human beings don't even know.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			Things that we do on a daily basis,
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			you know, being able to, you know, wake
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			up after a long period of sleep,
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			and this is happening on a day day
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:14
			to day basis
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			and it's something which subhanAllah,
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:18
			you know, it's happening even though it's happening
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			on a regular basis, people tend to neglect
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			and not think about these not think about
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:22
			these
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:24
			things. And subhanAllah, even the way the body
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			works and so on and so forth. Allah
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			azza wa Jal,
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:28
			he says,
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			We made the night or or or we
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			made you we made your sleep a thing
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			for rest so that you could rest and
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:36
			recuperate.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			And we have made the night as a
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			covering.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:42
			So the night is a covering for a
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			person when he goes to sleep.
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			The night is a means for him to
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			rest and to sleep and to recuperate its
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:51
			trade and darkness covers everything.
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:54
			Means a a cloth,
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:55
			a covering,
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:58
			you know, a garment. So it covers
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:01
			it covers the people. This darkness covers the
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			light that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05
			blesses us with,
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			prior to the night setting in.
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			And he made the day for livelihood.
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			A person wakes up in the morning, and
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:16
			we know the hadith of the prophet when
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:19
			he said that wake up early and make
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:20
			use of the day because there is in
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:21
			the mornings.
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			So this is why it's encouraged for people
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			to and this is why scholars, they always
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			talk about the importance of, you know,
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			learning, memorizing Quran,
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:33
			and being productive early in the morning.
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:34
			After fajr,
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:36
			the best time,
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:39
			to memorize quran is after fajr, in the
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:39
			morning
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			because your mind is fresh, you know, and
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:44
			the air is fresh as well. It's the
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45
			first thing that you do in the morning
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:48
			and this barakah and this blessing related and
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50
			attached to that. Then Then Allah Subhanahu wa
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:51
			ta'ala he says, that
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:57
			we constructed above you 7 strong.
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			What is this referring to? That we're question
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:02
			above you 7 strong.
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:08
			Heaven. 7 heavens. What does this mean, 7
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:08
			heavens?
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:14
			What does this mean?
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:20
			What are the 7 heavens?
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:34
			Okay.
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:36
			Anybody else?
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			Sorry?
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:45
			You can do whatever you want. I'm saying,
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:46
			what do these 7 heavens mean?
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:49
			What are these 7 heavens?
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:52
			So
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			sometimes we tend to get mixed up
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			with regards to,
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			Samawat,
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:01
			which are skies,
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:02
			and
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:06
			heavens which refer to paradise.
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			So Allah in many ayaat he says,
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:12
			like verily we created.
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:14
			We created the 7.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:17
			And literally
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:18
			means sky.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			And when Allah says the 7 skies,
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:25
			Allah is referring to the and the skies
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:26
			of
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:27
			this world.
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:31
			Whereas when with regards to the to paradise,
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:35
			then some of the scholars they say paradise
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			in and of itself doesn't just have 7
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:37
			levels.
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			Some scholars they say with regards to paradise
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:43
			itself, there are many, many, many levels
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:46
			because they mention certain ahadith, for example, when
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:47
			the messenger of Allah sallallahu sallam
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			said that the one who had memorized the
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			Quran or the memorizer of Quran will be
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			asked to recite and rise on the day
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			of judgment.
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:59
			And this person, the more he recites
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			from the Quran which is memorized,
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			the higher up he will go in paradise.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			So scholars, they said there's many, many levels
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			of paradise, and it could be the case
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:10
			that,
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13
			you know, there are levels within levels.
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:16
			It could be the case there are levels
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			within levels as well. So here Allah
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20
			is talking about,
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			the 7 heavens according to some of them
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:25
			of.
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:26
			Specifically,
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:28
			he's referring to,
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:30
			the heavens,
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:32
			them themselves.
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:36
			He says, the 7 heavens in their vastness,
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			in their loftiness, in their perfection,
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			their precision,
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:41
			and their adornment
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			with both stable and moving stars.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			He's referring to these 7 strong,
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:48
			okay, as,
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:51
			7
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:52
			strong
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:55
			skies of this dunya, of this world.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:56
			So,
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00
			he says these are 7 skies of this
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:01
			world. Allah he
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:03
			then says,
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:11
			and we made therein a burning lamp
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14
			that as well as the 7 heavens, we've
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:15
			also
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:18
			made within it a burning lamp. What's the
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			burning lamp? The sun in and of itself.
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:21
			So Allah has
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:23
			blessed us by
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:25
			giving us,
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:26
			something
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:27
			from which,
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:31
			we're able to benefit from, and it's a
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:31
			means of,
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:35
			you know, sustenance for us. It's something which,
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37
			gives us,
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:38
			food
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:39
			and, you
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:42
			know, life basically,
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:45
			obviously comes from Allah, but the sun supports
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:48
			life, in this, in this world, on this
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:49
			earth. Then Allah
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:50
			he says,
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			That we have sent down
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:02
			from He says we've sent down from the
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:05
			clouds, and the word used isn't sahab, which
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:05
			is clouds.
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:07
			The word used
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			is water which is
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			which means flowing.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			He
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:15
			mentions something interesting.
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:17
			He said that
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:18
			he says
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:22
			means clouds, Okay. Meaning from the clouds.
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:24
			Will be sent down,
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:25
			from the clouds, from.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			And he says
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:29
			that,
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:34
			this is like the woman being called a,
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:38
			And the same word is used for
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:39
			a woman
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:42
			who's about to start her menstrual cycle, but
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:43
			it doesn't start,
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:45
			which signifies
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:47
			that she's expecting a child.
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:51
			So just like this, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:52
			is talking about
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			the clouds,
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			okay, filling up with water
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57
			and then
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:00
			bringing down abundant
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:01
			and continuous
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:03
			rain.
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:04
			So Allah
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			interestingly,
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			he uses the same,
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			the same word. He uses the same,
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:11
			expression
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:13
			to show the vastness of,
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:17
			the water that's contained in the clouds and
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:18
			how the clouds,
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:19
			send down,
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:21
			rain as a mercy and as a blessing
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:24
			from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And then Allah
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26
			mentions the result of this rain, and the
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:26
			consequences,
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:28
			and the benefits of this
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			So that we may bring forth as a
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:35
			result of it
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:36
			grain and vegetation.
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:40
			You know, we benefit from this water
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:41
			because
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:43
			things grow from the earth as a result
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:44
			of this.
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:48
			You know, different types of crops, wheat and
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50
			barley, and, you know, all the other types
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:53
			of, you know, grains that we benefit from
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:54
			from this earth, rice and so on and
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			so forth, and vegetation as well,
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:58
			fruits and vegetables.
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:00
			So all of this if wasn't for the
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			water coming down from the sky,
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:05
			then we wouldn't be blessed with any of
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:05
			these things.
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:08
			So it's a blessing from Allah as well
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10
			as the sun which Allah already has mentioned.
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:12
			So both of these things Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:13
			ta'ala mentions
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:16
			and both of these are blessings from Allah
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:16
			Azzawajal.
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:17
			And
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:19
			gardens
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:20
			which
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:21
			are,
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:25
			gathered together. Allah Azzawajal mentions jannat, which is
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:27
			a pool of jannah. Okay. And then he
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:28
			says,
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:31
			and others, they said that
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:37
			means
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:40
			gardens which are gathered together, joined together.
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:41
			Meaning,
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:42
			you know,
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:44
			gardens which are rich,
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:46
			gardens which are lush,
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:49
			and gardens which produce different types of fruits
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:51
			and different types of,
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:52
			vegetation.
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:53
			Then Allah
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:54
			he says
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:58
			that verily
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:00
			the day of
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:01
			judgement
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:05
			is an at an appointed time. And what's
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:07
			interesting here, another word is mentioned for the
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:07
			day of judgement.
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:11
			So So we have we've
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:13
			had.
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:18
			And anyone know what a means?
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:22
			Means to
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:24
			divide or to separate
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:26
			or to distinguish.
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:29
			And some some translations,
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32
			also mention a decision.
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:34
			And that's why you have
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:36
			the name Faisal,
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:40
			which means somebody who's able to distinguish.
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:43
			What do you distinguish between?
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:46
			Good and bad, right and wrong. So Allah
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:49
			azzawajal here calls the day of judgment,
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:52
			because on this day,
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:53
			an individual
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:55
			will be separated
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:57
			from his friend, from his family,
		
00:31:58 --> 00:31:59
			okay, from his loved ones,
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:03
			and he'll be entering into paradise or he'll
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:06
			be entering into hellfire according to his deeds.
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:07
			So people will be separated.
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:10
			Those who are closest in this world, maybe
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:11
			they'll be separated in the akhira.
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15
			And this is why the famous hadith of
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:16
			the prophet when,
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:20
			a man came to him and he asked
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:21
			him about the hour
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:24
			and he said I haven't prepared anything except
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:25
			that I know I love Allah and his
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:26
			messenger.
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:28
			So the messenger
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:29
			said,
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:32
			you're gonna be with the one who you
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:34
			love. Because when a person loves Allah and
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:36
			his messenger, he obeys them.
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:37
			And so
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:41
			this shows a person's association in this world
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:42
			is something
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:44
			which will aid and help
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:47
			where he will be in the akhirah.
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:50
			If a person socializes with the right people,
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:53
			okay, he'll be in paradise. If you mix
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:54
			with the wrong types of people who don't
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:57
			worship Allah, who are committing sins, then it's
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:59
			gonna hinder you and prevent you and stop
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:02
			you from entering into paradise. Then Allah subhanahu
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:03
			wa ta'ala he says,
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:07
			that
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:10
			on the day that the horn is blown,
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:13
			the trumpet is blown, and you will come
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:14
			forth in multitudes.
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:17
			So you'll come forth in crowds. You'll come
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:18
			forth,
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:20
			in groups.
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:24
			He says, groups after groups.
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:27
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he says,
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:29
			in fact, Abu
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:32
			Hoora radiallahu an, he talks about this ayah,
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:33
			and
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:35
			he says that,
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:37
			when
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:40
			the when this ayah was recited,
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:43
			he said that which is between the two
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:45
			blowings of the trumpet, one blow of the
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:47
			trumpet will cause everything to
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:51
			be destroyed. The other blowing of the trumpet,
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:53
			the second blowing will cause everything to be
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:55
			raised up preparing for the day of judgement.
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:57
			He said between the two blowings is 40.
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:00
			And when his students asked him, is it
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:02
			40 days? Is it 40 months? Is it
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:04
			40 years? He never said anything. And then
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:04
			he
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:06
			continued and he said
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:08
			that then Allah will
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:11
			send down a rain from the sky
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:14
			and the dead bodies will sprout just
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:16
			as green plants sprout,
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:20
			And every part of the last person will
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:21
			deteriorate except for
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:24
			one bone, meaning on the when a person
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:25
			dies,
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:28
			okay, he will disintegrate except for a small
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:29
			portion
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:30
			of his
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:33
			of his body. And it is the tailbone.
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:34
			From it, the creation
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:37
			will be assembled on the day of judgment.
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:38
			So
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:40
			describes
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			that the people will be raised up like
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:45
			when rain comes down from the sky and
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:46
			plants come out.
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:49
			He describes human beings coming out in a
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:52
			similar fashion. Then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:57
			that the heavens will be opened up
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:01
			and there will become gates.
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:05
			Means doors or gates. Is one door, one
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:05
			gate.
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:08
			He says,
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:11
			this means that the heavens will open up
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:12
			and
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:16
			paths and roots will be created by Allah
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:19
			so that angels will start to descend.
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:22
			So subhanallah, you know, very very
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:24
			vivid images here.
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:28
			That the heavens will open up, paths and
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:30
			roots will be created by Allah and the
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:33
			angels will basically come down preparing for this
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:34
			day. It's something, subhanAllah,
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:37
			you know, we we can't even imagine
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:39
			how that day is going to be. Then
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:41
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he says,
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:45
			that the mountains
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:46
			will be removed
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:49
			and there will be like a mirage.
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:52
			Meaning, it will be as if they never
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:53
			even existed.
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:55
			They'll they'll
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:56
			dissolve and they'll disintegrate
		
00:35:57 --> 00:35:59
			as if they they never even existed in
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:00
			this dunya.
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:03
			So, you know, all of these descriptions of
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:04
			the day of judgment really show us
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:05
			how Allah
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:08
			is going to
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:10
			begin and start the day of judgment.
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:11
			The the
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:14
			the naba al adhim, this great news. Yomul
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:16
			Farsa, the day of decision,
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:17
			the day of separation,
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:20
			the day of distinguishing between good and bad.
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:23
			So inshallah, we'll conclude here, and then we'll
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:24
			carry on with the rest of the Surah
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:25
			next week inshallah.
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:28
			If there's any questions, then I'll do my
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:29
			best to answer them.
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:36
			No. This word won't exist,
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:38
			of course, because when the trumpet
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:41
			is blown, everything will cease to exist. Then
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:42
			Allah will create
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:44
			a plane,
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:46
			okay, of land
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:48
			on which the people will be judged.
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:51
			So it won't be this earth itself.
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:00
			No. It's it's not gonna be there.
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:11
			Yeah.
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:16
			So means a great news. Means something,
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:17
			you know, huge,
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:19
			something important,
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:21
			something great.
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:23
			So it's something it's a big it's gonna
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:25
			be a you know, an important day for
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:25
			everyone.
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:30
			Okay.
