Surah.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13

Last week, we talked about

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14

the second

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

until you visit the graveyards.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19

And we talked specifically

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

about,

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

what happens to an individual

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

when he's buried.

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

So

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

this different

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

realm that he's in when he's in the

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

grave, which is known as Al Barzakh. And

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

what happens to the individual? What happens to

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

the believer when he's in in the grave

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38

in Al Barzakh? What happens to the disbeliever?

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39

And we went into some of the Hadith

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

that talk about,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

this state and what happens to the person.

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

And inshallah, today, we're gonna finish off the

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

the sira of the Surah, and we're gonna

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

go on and move on to the 3rd

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

ayah

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

of the Surah where Allah

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

after he talks about how,

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

a person

00:01:57 --> 00:02:01

will compete in this world in worldly increase.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:06

Competition in worldly increase distracts you.

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09

How long will it distract you for Until

00:02:09 --> 00:02:13

you visit the graveyard. Meaning until death comes

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

to you. And then Allah

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

in the 3rd ayah, he says,

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

know you are going to know.

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

Now the word for know is

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

la. The word for know is la. Here,

00:02:26 --> 00:02:30

is mentioned. The is added to show emphasis.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31

So

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

know for sure you're going to know. For

00:02:34 --> 00:02:37

a surety, you're going to know. So who

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

is being spoken to here? When Allah says,

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

no. You are going to know. Who is

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42

spoke who is being spoken to?

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

One of the scholars of the Haqq, he

00:02:44 --> 00:02:48

says that this ayah is specifically talking about

00:02:48 --> 00:02:48

the disbelievers.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

Know you are going to know.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

Now when are they going to know is

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

not specifically mentioned, but it's understood that

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

what's meant is when

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

a person

00:03:02 --> 00:03:05

dies and when he enters into the graveyard,

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07

that's when he's going to know the reality

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

of,

00:03:09 --> 00:03:11

of his actions. He's going to know the

00:03:11 --> 00:03:12

consequences

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

of competing in materialistic

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

things.

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

And the fact that, you know, him competing

00:03:18 --> 00:03:21

in worldly increase with other people in this

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24

dunya hasn't benefited him at all. So it's

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25

a promise for the disbelievers

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28

that they'll come to know the result of

00:03:28 --> 00:03:29

busying themselves

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

away from the disobedience or away from the

00:03:31 --> 00:03:34

obedience of Allah once they're in their graves,

00:03:34 --> 00:03:35

once they're buried.

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

And

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

the scholars, they talk about what a person

00:03:39 --> 00:03:39

will know.

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

What is a person going to know? What

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

is the thing that a person is going

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

to know? And they say it's it can

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

be death. It can be talking about death

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

here. Allah can be talking about death itself.

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52

So when death comes, that's when they'll realize

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54

that it hasn't benefited them. Also, he said

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

that this means the day of judgment itself.

00:03:57 --> 00:03:58

And then Allah,

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01

he moves on to the 4th ayah, and

00:04:01 --> 00:04:02

he repeats the same

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

ayah, but just he just adds an extra

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

word. He says,

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

then know you are going to know.

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

So then know you are going to know.

00:04:14 --> 00:04:17

So the same ayah is repeated but the

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

again, it's,

00:04:19 --> 00:04:22

it's repeated but with this extra word, thumma,

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

which means then.

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

It's said that the Arabs, if they want

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

to sound more

00:04:29 --> 00:04:29

intimidating

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

or they want to put emphasis on something,

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

they'll repeat it more than once. They'll say

00:04:34 --> 00:04:35

2 or 3 times. And this is the

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

same in any language. You know, even in

00:04:37 --> 00:04:40

English, if somebody wants to repeat something, if

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

somebody wants to emphasize something, he'll repeat it

00:04:42 --> 00:04:44

more than once. You know, he'll say 2

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

or 3 times.

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

So this is what's happening here. Allah subhanahu

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

wa ta'ala is repeating this aya

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

a second time as emphasis.

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

It's also said by some of the scholars

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

that

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

the previous ayah, kala sopa ta'ala moon, is

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

talking about the disbelievers.

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

This ayah some of the scholars they say,

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

this ayah is talking about the believers.

00:05:08 --> 00:05:09

Is talking about the believers. So the first

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11

was talking about the disbelievers,

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

and the second was talking about,

00:05:14 --> 00:05:16

the Muslims themselves.

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

Okay. And this could also mean that it's

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

talking about,

00:05:19 --> 00:05:20

the hereafter

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

because the disbelievers will enter into hellfire, and

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

that's when they're going to know,

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

you know, on the day of judgment.

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

Muslims will also know that they will enter

00:05:31 --> 00:05:33

into Jannah in the hereafter.

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36

And then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wants him

00:05:36 --> 00:05:38

he mentions this and he repeats this ayah

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

with this, you know, addition in the 4th

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

ayah. Then in the 5th ayah, Allah subhanahu

00:05:43 --> 00:05:44

wa ta'ala says,

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

know if you only knew with knowledge of

00:05:51 --> 00:05:51

certainty.

00:05:52 --> 00:05:55

In this surah is mentioned 3 times. The

00:05:55 --> 00:05:56

word

00:05:56 --> 00:05:59

is mentioned 3 times and is mentioned

00:05:59 --> 00:06:00

3 times

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

to

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

rebuke and to, you know, rebut and put

00:06:04 --> 00:06:07

down those people who attain worldly gains. Like

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

in the first ayah, when Allah says, you

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

know, the worldly,

00:06:11 --> 00:06:12

interests and materialistic

00:06:12 --> 00:06:15

things are distracting you when you're competing in

00:06:15 --> 00:06:18

materialistic things. So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is

00:06:18 --> 00:06:19

repeating this word

00:06:19 --> 00:06:22

3 times to put down and to rebuke

00:06:22 --> 00:06:23

those people who

00:06:24 --> 00:06:27

attain worldly gains and abandon the pleasure of

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and abandon the worship

00:06:29 --> 00:06:31

of Allah azza wa jal. And Imam Tabari,

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34

he talks about because

00:06:35 --> 00:06:36

his ayah says

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

Know if you only knew

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

Al Mal Yaqeen.

00:06:41 --> 00:06:44

Al Mal Yaqeen is knowledge of certainty.

00:06:44 --> 00:06:47

Knowledge of certainty. And Imam al Tabari,

00:06:47 --> 00:06:49

he talks about,

00:06:49 --> 00:06:50

this,

00:06:50 --> 00:06:53

al Ma'iqain, this knowledge of certainty, and he

00:06:53 --> 00:06:54

mentions a narration by Qata

00:06:56 --> 00:06:57

He says that

00:06:57 --> 00:07:01

and and he says we used to talk

00:07:01 --> 00:07:01

about

00:07:02 --> 00:07:03

and we used to say

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

that is

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

That

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

is knowing that Allah

00:07:12 --> 00:07:13

will raise

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

the person after the after death. He's going

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

to resurrect him after he dies and after

00:07:19 --> 00:07:20

he passes away.

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23

And it's also said that is

00:07:24 --> 00:07:25

firm knowledge

00:07:25 --> 00:07:28

that corresponds to reality that there's no doubt

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

in.

00:07:29 --> 00:07:32

And this can also mean that what is

00:07:32 --> 00:07:33

referred to,

00:07:35 --> 00:07:36

you know, in this ayah and in the

00:07:36 --> 00:07:38

previous ayahs is death itself.

00:07:39 --> 00:07:42

Okay. Because there's no doubt in death whether

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

you're a Muslim, whether you're a non Muslim.

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

Everyone knows that eventually death is going to

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48

come. You are going to die. So, you

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

know, that gives some weight to that that

00:07:50 --> 00:07:53

opinion that what's referred to here is death

00:07:53 --> 00:07:53

itself.

00:07:54 --> 00:07:54

So,

00:07:55 --> 00:07:56

again, in this,

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

it's some say some of the scholar says

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

referring to the disbelievers

00:08:02 --> 00:08:03

because

00:08:03 --> 00:08:05

if we're talking about the opinion that it's,

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

these

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

talking about the hereafter,

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

the believers already know about the hereafter. They

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

already have

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

certain knowledge about the hereafter that is going

00:08:14 --> 00:08:16

to take place. Okay. And others say that

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18

it's referring to,

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

everyone because it's talking about death in of

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

itself. So

00:08:23 --> 00:08:26

what is this certain death or or this

00:08:26 --> 00:08:27

or this certain knowledge,

00:08:28 --> 00:08:30

that's mentioned here? What is it specifically,

00:08:31 --> 00:08:33

referring to? Some say it's death itself as

00:08:33 --> 00:08:36

we mentioned. Some say it's the resurrection

00:08:36 --> 00:08:39

after, a person dies and is buried and

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41

then he's raised upon the day of judgment

00:08:41 --> 00:08:43

because then obviously no one has any doubts,

00:08:43 --> 00:08:46

about, you know, the resurrection and about the

00:08:46 --> 00:08:49

reality of life. And others say it's the

00:08:49 --> 00:08:52

truth. It's talking about the truth. And then

00:08:52 --> 00:08:52

Allah

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

moves on to the 6th ayah

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

and he says after he says,

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

know if you only knew with knowledge of

00:09:01 --> 00:09:02

certainty,

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala then says,

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

You will surely see the hellfire.

00:09:11 --> 00:09:12

Now the

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

nun in

00:09:14 --> 00:09:15

is

00:09:15 --> 00:09:16

mentioned

00:09:16 --> 00:09:17

as an emphasis.

00:09:18 --> 00:09:21

It's mentioned to emphasize that for sure you're

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

going to see the hellfire. Okay. Without it,

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

it would basically be.

00:09:25 --> 00:09:28

You are going to see the hellfire. But

00:09:28 --> 00:09:30

the noon is mentioned here to emphasize,

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

to show that for sure you will surely

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

see the hellfire.

00:09:35 --> 00:09:36

And

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39

there's 2 ways of reciting this this specific

00:09:40 --> 00:09:41

ayah. The general way is

00:09:42 --> 00:09:45

which is how most of, the different,

00:09:45 --> 00:09:46

is

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

how they recite this ayah.

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

With.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:53

Kisai,

00:09:53 --> 00:09:56

one of the modes of recitation known as

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

Kisai, they recite it with, Dhamma and the.

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

So it's.

00:10:02 --> 00:10:03

So instead of saying,

00:10:04 --> 00:10:04

they say.

00:10:06 --> 00:10:09

And there's a slight difference in the meaning

00:10:09 --> 00:10:11

with these 2 different types of recitation.

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

The way we recite it,

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16

it basically means that you'll see,

00:10:16 --> 00:10:17

the hellfire

00:10:17 --> 00:10:20

with your eyes from a distance. You'll see

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

the hellfire with your eyes from a distance.

00:10:24 --> 00:10:25

When a person says

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28

when he recites when he recites it in,

00:10:28 --> 00:10:31

it means that you'll be gathered to the

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

fire first and then you'll see it. So

00:10:33 --> 00:10:36

there's a slight difference with regards to,

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

you know, the the meaning,

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

with these 2 different types of recitation.

00:10:42 --> 00:10:43

And, you know, when it comes to different

00:10:43 --> 00:10:44

modes of recitation,

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

the meaning can change. The meaning can change,

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

but they'll never conflict.

00:10:51 --> 00:10:53

Okay. They'll never conflict.

00:10:53 --> 00:10:54

So Allah

00:10:55 --> 00:10:56

says that for sure.

00:10:59 --> 00:11:02

You're going to see Al Jahim. What's Jahim?

00:11:03 --> 00:11:05

Jahim is another name for the hellfire. The

00:11:05 --> 00:11:07

hellfire has many names.

00:11:07 --> 00:11:09

One of the names of al Jahim is

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

Jahannam of hellfire is Jahannam. One of the

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

names is Anar. One of the names is

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

Al Azzab.

00:11:15 --> 00:11:18

Okay. And another name for hellfire is Jahim.

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

And

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

the word Jaheem itself literally what this word

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

means is a place where punishment is taking

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

place which is unbearable.

00:11:28 --> 00:11:30

So a a place where a person is

00:11:30 --> 00:11:33

being punished and there's punishment happening to him,

00:11:33 --> 00:11:35

and that punishment is something which is unbearable.

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he mentions the

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39

word jahim in other places in the Quran

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

describing how fire. He says

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46

that the righteous people will be in naeem,

00:11:47 --> 00:11:48

meaning paradise.

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

Okay.

00:11:51 --> 00:11:52

And the criminals

00:11:52 --> 00:11:53

will be in

00:11:54 --> 00:11:56

jahim, will be in hellfire.

00:11:56 --> 00:11:59

And it's also said that jahim means a

00:11:59 --> 00:12:02

very intense fire. A fire which is very,

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04

very intense. In Surah Safat,

00:12:05 --> 00:12:07

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala talks about the story

00:12:07 --> 00:12:08

of Ibrahim alaihi salam.

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

And he talks about how the villages, they

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

came together and they,

00:12:14 --> 00:12:16

came together to make a plan as to

00:12:16 --> 00:12:19

how to deal with Ibrahim because he refute

00:12:19 --> 00:12:21

refuted the idols and he refused to worship

00:12:21 --> 00:12:23

the idols and he started to, you know,

00:12:23 --> 00:12:26

rebel basically. And so they said

00:12:31 --> 00:12:32

They said amongst themselves

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

make for him a furnace

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

and then throw him into al Jahim.

00:12:41 --> 00:12:45

Throw him into Jahim meaning the very intense

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

fire.

00:12:45 --> 00:12:48

So they when they made this fire

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52

to throw Ibrahim alayhi salam into it, they

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

literally had to throw him. The the word

00:12:54 --> 00:12:56

is mentioned here is

00:12:57 --> 00:12:58

Throw

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

him

00:12:59 --> 00:13:02

into the fire. Why was he thrown? Because

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

the fire was so huge and it was

00:13:04 --> 00:13:06

so intense that they didn't want him they

00:13:06 --> 00:13:09

didn't wanna push him into the fire because

00:13:09 --> 00:13:10

it wouldn't have been as severe. You know,

00:13:10 --> 00:13:12

the outskirts, the edges of the fire won't

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

be as hot.

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

Okay. The the most intense part will be

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

in the middle. And so they said throw

00:13:18 --> 00:13:21

him okay. Using some some type of, you

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

know,

00:13:22 --> 00:13:23

equipment,

00:13:23 --> 00:13:26

throw him into al jayim meaning the most

00:13:26 --> 00:13:28

intense part of the fire, which is the

00:13:28 --> 00:13:30

middle part of the fire. So al Jahim

00:13:30 --> 00:13:31

again is mentioned,

00:13:32 --> 00:13:35

in this ayah in Surah Safat. And again

00:13:35 --> 00:13:36

in this ayah,

00:13:38 --> 00:13:41

is specifically talking to the disbelievers because it's

00:13:41 --> 00:13:45

just discussing what's going to happen and what

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

the consequences will be of those who disbelieve

00:13:47 --> 00:13:49

in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And then Allah

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51

subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the 7th

00:13:55 --> 00:13:56

ayah, He says

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

that for sure you're going to see the

00:13:58 --> 00:13:59

hellfire

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

and then he says,

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

then you will surely see it with the

00:14:05 --> 00:14:07

eye of certainty.

00:14:07 --> 00:14:10

You'll surely see it with the eye of

00:14:10 --> 00:14:10

certainty.

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

Imam Abu Tabari, he mentioned that ibn Abbas

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

radiallahu an says that this is referring to

00:14:16 --> 00:14:19

the people of shirk. He's talking again to

00:14:19 --> 00:14:21

the people of disbelief and the people

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

of shirk.

00:14:22 --> 00:14:25

And he says, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says

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

that

00:14:27 --> 00:14:30

you will surely see it with the eye

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32

of certainty. What's the eye of certainty? What's

00:14:33 --> 00:14:35

We've already discussed Al Mulyakin,

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

knowledge of certainty. Now Allah is saying the

00:14:38 --> 00:14:39

eye of certainty.

00:14:40 --> 00:14:41

Ayn ul Yaqeen.

00:14:41 --> 00:14:43

And what the scholars say is what this

00:14:43 --> 00:14:45

means is that they will be shown

00:14:46 --> 00:14:48

their permanent place in hellfire.

00:14:49 --> 00:14:52

Okay. And and it's also said the scholars,

00:14:52 --> 00:14:54

they say that this means they will be

00:14:54 --> 00:14:54

constantly

00:14:55 --> 00:14:57

looking at their place in hellfire. They won't

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

be able to divert their gaze to anywhere

00:14:59 --> 00:15:02

else. They'll just be looking at where they're

00:15:02 --> 00:15:04

going to be in the hellfire. Allah, subhanahu,

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

would like to protect us from the punishments

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

and the torments of the hellfire. So they're

00:15:08 --> 00:15:11

constantly going to be looking at where the

00:15:11 --> 00:15:13

where the abode is and where their place

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

is, where their seat is in the hellfire.

00:15:17 --> 00:15:18

And it's also mentioned

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

in,

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

in the Quran, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says

00:15:26 --> 00:15:27

And the criminals

00:15:27 --> 00:15:29

will see the fire.

00:15:31 --> 00:15:33

And they'll be certain that they're going to

00:15:33 --> 00:15:34

fall into it.

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

And they won't find, from it a way

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

out. They won't find any way to escape

00:15:40 --> 00:15:43

from the torments and the punishments of Allah

00:15:43 --> 00:15:44

and the hellfire.

00:15:44 --> 00:15:45

So

00:15:47 --> 00:15:49

Ayn ul Yaqeen is mentioned here.

00:15:50 --> 00:15:53

Ayn ul Yaqeen was mentioned before. And the

00:15:53 --> 00:15:54

scholars, they talk about

00:15:55 --> 00:15:55

knowledge,

00:15:56 --> 00:15:59

and they talk about 3 stages of knowledge.

00:15:59 --> 00:16:02

They say that knowledge is 3 different stages.

00:16:02 --> 00:16:05

And Imam Abu Tabari, you know, mentions this.

00:16:05 --> 00:16:08

Another scholar has mentioned this as well. They

00:16:08 --> 00:16:09

say that knowledge is of 3 types or

00:16:09 --> 00:16:13

3 stages. The first stage is el mulyakeen.

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

What's el mulyakeen?

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

What was el mulyakeen?

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

Certain knowledge. Okay. So,

00:16:21 --> 00:16:23

knowledge of certainty, El Mulyakin.

00:16:23 --> 00:16:24

So for example

00:16:30 --> 00:16:31

Well, let's go through all of them and

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

then I'll give you some examples. So the

00:16:32 --> 00:16:35

first is al mulyakin. Okay. Knowledge of certainty.

00:16:35 --> 00:16:37

The second is al mulyakin.

00:16:39 --> 00:16:40

Okay. The eye of certainty.

00:16:41 --> 00:16:43

Okay. So knowledge of certainty is the first

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

one. The second is the eye of certainty.

00:16:46 --> 00:16:49

And the third is haqqul yaqeen, which is

00:16:49 --> 00:16:50

also mentioned in the Quran. So Allah subhanahu

00:16:50 --> 00:16:52

wa ta'ala for example he says,

00:16:53 --> 00:16:55

and verily it is

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57

the truth of certainty.

00:16:57 --> 00:16:58

And he says,

00:16:59 --> 00:17:01

in another in another aya, verily it is

00:17:01 --> 00:17:03

true certainty. So it's mentioned in the Quran.

00:17:04 --> 00:17:05

So

00:17:06 --> 00:17:07

what do what do these different types of

00:17:07 --> 00:17:10

these different stages of knowledge actually mean?

00:17:10 --> 00:17:12

And we'll give some examples to make it

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

easier for a person to understand. For example,

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

say a person is told,

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

he's given knowledge of certainty

00:17:20 --> 00:17:22

about, for example, a new restaurant that's opened

00:17:22 --> 00:17:24

up. Okay. Numerous people come to tell him,

00:17:24 --> 00:17:26

you know, this restaurant's got some really nice

00:17:26 --> 00:17:27

food. Masha'Allah.

00:17:27 --> 00:17:30

So he's hearing from different people about this

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

restaurant. Okay. About how nice the food is

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

or a specific type of food. Okay. So

00:17:34 --> 00:17:36

different people are telling him. So this is

00:17:37 --> 00:17:39

in a way. Okay. So he's being told

00:17:39 --> 00:17:41

about this this new restaurant.

00:17:42 --> 00:17:45

And then you have Ayn ul Yaqeen,

00:17:45 --> 00:17:47

the eye of certainty, which would be for

00:17:47 --> 00:17:50

example him going and seeing the restaurant for

00:17:50 --> 00:17:52

himself. He sees the place and he sees

00:17:52 --> 00:17:54

the restaurant. And he goes and he orders

00:17:54 --> 00:17:56

the food and he gets the food in

00:17:56 --> 00:17:57

front of him.

00:17:58 --> 00:17:59

He's actually seeing it for himself.

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

And then

00:18:01 --> 00:18:02

what would be?

00:18:03 --> 00:18:06

Tasting the food. So he he taste the

00:18:06 --> 00:18:07

food, he tries the food and he says,

00:18:07 --> 00:18:08

yeah, those those guys will tell him the

00:18:08 --> 00:18:09

truth. This food is good.

00:18:10 --> 00:18:11

So we taste the food that would

00:18:12 --> 00:18:14

be Another example would be paradise and how

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

far. This is what the Anwar mentioned.

00:18:16 --> 00:18:17

So

00:18:17 --> 00:18:19

is what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and what

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

his messenger

00:18:21 --> 00:18:24

have talked about with regards to the descriptions

00:18:24 --> 00:18:25

of paradise in hellfire.

00:18:25 --> 00:18:28

So we know, for example, what's awaiting for

00:18:28 --> 00:18:30

a person in hellfire. We know what's awaiting

00:18:30 --> 00:18:33

for an individual with regards to the the

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

the blessings and the rewards and the the

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

bounties and pleasures of paradise. We know this

00:18:38 --> 00:18:40

from the Quran and from the sunnah of

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42

the messenger of Allah salaam alayhi wa sallam.

00:18:43 --> 00:18:44

That would be

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

is when you actually see what you're informed

00:18:48 --> 00:18:50

of. So you're actually there and you see

00:18:50 --> 00:18:50

paradise.

00:18:51 --> 00:18:53

Well, as this I had told the previous

00:18:53 --> 00:18:54

I had mentioned what did you say,

00:18:57 --> 00:18:59

that you'll see the hellfire.

00:18:59 --> 00:19:02

So would be when you actually see hellfire

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

or when you actually see paradise.

00:19:05 --> 00:19:06

In this regard

00:19:07 --> 00:19:08

would be when a person

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

actually not only sees paradise,

00:19:11 --> 00:19:12

but he's walking

00:19:13 --> 00:19:15

amidst paradise. He's walking into paradise.

00:19:15 --> 00:19:18

He's smelling the smells of paradise, the perfumes

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

and the musks of paradise,

00:19:20 --> 00:19:22

and he's experiencing the delights of paradise. He's

00:19:22 --> 00:19:24

tasting the foods of paradise.

00:19:24 --> 00:19:26

So that would be considered haqqul yaqin.

00:19:27 --> 00:19:29

Another example is the Kaaba, for example.

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

A person will be told about the Kaaba,

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

how it looks. Okay. How high it is.

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

How wide it is. You know, the kiswa,

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

the cloth that's on the Kaaba. He's been

00:19:39 --> 00:19:40

told about these things. This would be known

00:19:40 --> 00:19:41

as.

00:19:42 --> 00:19:44

Is when he actually goes for Hajj, he

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

goes for Umrah. You know, and SubhanAllah. You

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

know, when a person goes for the first

00:19:48 --> 00:19:50

time and he sees the Kaaba for those

00:19:50 --> 00:19:52

of you who've been, it's it's something else.

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

It's a different type of feeling. When you

00:19:53 --> 00:19:55

actually see the Kaaba for the first time,

00:19:55 --> 00:19:57

you know. So that would be then

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

because now you've seen the Kaaba itself. You've

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

seen what you've been you've been told about.

00:20:02 --> 00:20:04

And then haqq ul Yaqin would be touching

00:20:04 --> 00:20:05

the Kaaba.

00:20:05 --> 00:20:07

Touching the Kaaba, touching the cloth of the

00:20:07 --> 00:20:10

Kaaba, kissing the black stone, you know, being

00:20:10 --> 00:20:13

close to the Kaaba, maybe even going inside

00:20:13 --> 00:20:14

of the Kaaba.

00:20:14 --> 00:20:15

This would be considered

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

haqqul yaqin. So these are just some examples

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

of these different types of of knowledge, the

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

3 different stages 3 different stages of knowledge

00:20:22 --> 00:20:23

that the scholars mentioned.

00:20:24 --> 00:20:26

And then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:20:27 --> 00:20:29

after he mentions this, after he says

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

that for sure you're going to sit with

00:20:32 --> 00:20:34

the eye of certainty. You're going to see

00:20:35 --> 00:20:37

the jahim. You're going to see hellfire.

00:20:37 --> 00:20:38

Then Allah,

00:20:39 --> 00:20:42

he finishes this, this surah. And the 8th

00:20:42 --> 00:20:43

aya, he says,

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

completing this surah, he says

00:20:49 --> 00:20:51

that then you will

00:20:51 --> 00:20:54

surely be asked that day about the pleasure,

00:20:55 --> 00:20:56

or about the bounty,

00:20:57 --> 00:20:59

which means the pleasure or the bounty.

00:21:01 --> 00:21:04

So again here, Allah is putting emphasis. He's

00:21:04 --> 00:21:05

emphasizing that for sure

00:21:07 --> 00:21:08

the noon again is mentioned.

00:21:11 --> 00:21:11

He didn't say

00:21:13 --> 00:21:16

He said meaning he's putting emphasis on this.

00:21:16 --> 00:21:18

That for sure you're going to be asked

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

about the pleasure or about the bounty. And

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

then my mother, he he says, he goes

00:21:24 --> 00:21:26

in detail he goes into detail about what's

00:21:26 --> 00:21:29

going to be asked to the slave about

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

the bounty. What is going to be asked

00:21:31 --> 00:21:33

about the nayim and nayim? What is he

00:21:33 --> 00:21:35

going to be asked? He said he's going

00:21:35 --> 00:21:37

to be asked about how he got this

00:21:37 --> 00:21:40

this this nayim, this bounty, this this pleasure.

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

How he attained it? Where he got it

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

from?

00:21:44 --> 00:21:47

How did he spend it? What did he

00:21:47 --> 00:21:49

do with it? He's going to be asked

00:21:49 --> 00:21:52

these specific questions about al nahim, about the

00:21:52 --> 00:21:55

pleasure, about the bounty. So what is nahim?

00:21:56 --> 00:21:57

What is this thing that we're going to

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

be asked about? Allah is saying for sure

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

for sure then you for sure are going

00:22:04 --> 00:22:05

to be asked about.

00:22:06 --> 00:22:08

You're definitely going to be asked about.

00:22:09 --> 00:22:10

So what is this?

00:22:10 --> 00:22:12

What is this? What is this that Allah

00:22:13 --> 00:22:14

is talking about?

00:22:14 --> 00:22:15

Literally,

00:22:16 --> 00:22:17

linguistically,

00:22:17 --> 00:22:20

the meaning of a nayim, it said that

00:22:20 --> 00:22:23

nayim refers to what a person tastes

00:22:23 --> 00:22:24

of bounties and pleasures

00:22:25 --> 00:22:29

that aren't connected to his to aren't connected

00:22:29 --> 00:22:30

to him or his body directly.

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

So for example,

00:22:33 --> 00:22:35

you know, a boundary that's connected to him,

00:22:35 --> 00:22:38

for example, would be his health. It's connected

00:22:38 --> 00:22:39

to him. You know, it's part of him.

00:22:39 --> 00:22:41

It's part of his body. Or sleeping, for

00:22:41 --> 00:22:44

example. You know, he finds pleasure in sleeping.

00:22:44 --> 00:22:45

A person finds pleasure in having good health.

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

You know, when he's strong, you know, he

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

gets pleasure from that. Or the 5 senses,

00:22:49 --> 00:22:50

for example.

00:22:50 --> 00:22:52

These things, linguistically,

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

they aren't considered to be. Some of the

00:22:54 --> 00:22:56

scholars say these aren't considered to be,

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

but it's things which aren't connected to the

00:22:59 --> 00:23:01

body. For example, when a person drinks water,

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

you know, he gets pleasure from this. When

00:23:04 --> 00:23:06

he quenches his thirst, when he drinks water,

00:23:06 --> 00:23:09

you know, this is a naim. Eating food,

00:23:09 --> 00:23:10

for example,

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

savoring

00:23:11 --> 00:23:14

those things that you're proud of, those things

00:23:14 --> 00:23:16

that you get satisfaction from, those things that

00:23:16 --> 00:23:17

you can actually see.

00:23:18 --> 00:23:20

Okay. So the these are the things that

00:23:20 --> 00:23:22

are, you know, talked about with regards to

00:23:22 --> 00:23:25

nayim, and this is the linguistics or literal

00:23:25 --> 00:23:26

meaning of the word itself.

00:23:27 --> 00:23:30

So what pleasure and bounty will a person

00:23:30 --> 00:23:31

be asked about

00:23:32 --> 00:23:33

on the day of judgement? What do the

00:23:33 --> 00:23:36

scholars actually say? What is this nayim? And

00:23:36 --> 00:23:37

it's important for a person to know because

00:23:37 --> 00:23:39

we're gonna be asked about this as as

00:23:39 --> 00:23:41

Allah says. You know, Latus alun, you're gonna

00:23:41 --> 00:23:43

be asked for sure about this. So what

00:23:43 --> 00:23:43

is this nayim?

00:23:44 --> 00:23:47

The scholars have differed about what this nayim

00:23:47 --> 00:23:48

is referring to.

00:23:48 --> 00:23:50

Okay. And there's a number of opinions. There's

00:23:50 --> 00:23:51

8 opinions altogether.

00:23:52 --> 00:23:54

Okay. The first is that it's going it's

00:23:54 --> 00:23:56

it's it's referring to and nayim is referring

00:23:56 --> 00:23:57

to health and security.

00:23:59 --> 00:24:00

Health and security.

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

The second is wellness generally. General well-being.

00:24:03 --> 00:24:08

Okay. Physical well-being, mental well-being, social well-being, financial

00:24:08 --> 00:24:10

well-being, just general goodness. You're gonna be asked

00:24:10 --> 00:24:12

about these things, what you did with them.

00:24:12 --> 00:24:14

The 3rd the 3rd opinion is good health

00:24:14 --> 00:24:15

and free time.

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

Good health and free time. This is what's

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

meant this is what is meant by.

00:24:20 --> 00:24:22

Why is this meant to why is this

00:24:22 --> 00:24:23

mentioned as an opinion? Where did they get

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

this from?

00:24:25 --> 00:24:26

Good health and free time.

00:24:28 --> 00:24:30

Why would they why is this considered an

00:24:30 --> 00:24:31

opinion?

00:24:32 --> 00:24:33

We've mentioned this before

00:24:34 --> 00:24:36

specifically about good health and free time.

00:24:39 --> 00:24:39

Okay.

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

What would they use as evidence for this?

00:24:45 --> 00:24:46

Good health and free time.

00:24:48 --> 00:24:50

The prophet said

00:24:52 --> 00:24:54

no. There's another hadith more specific.

00:24:56 --> 00:24:57

There are 2 blessings

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

that many people

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

neglect. We mentioned this, in the in in

00:25:03 --> 00:25:04

in in previous,

00:25:05 --> 00:25:05

class.

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

There

00:25:08 --> 00:25:09

are 2 blessings,

00:25:10 --> 00:25:11

2, and the same word is used, which

00:25:11 --> 00:25:13

comes from the same root.

00:25:14 --> 00:25:16

2 blessings which people neglect.

00:25:17 --> 00:25:19

You know, lots of people will neglect these

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

2 blessings.

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

Good health

00:25:22 --> 00:25:24

and free time. This is where the scholars

00:25:24 --> 00:25:26

get this opinion from. They say these are

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

the 2 things that a person is going

00:25:27 --> 00:25:29

to be asked about. The 5th opinion is

00:25:29 --> 00:25:31

some of what a person eats and drinks.

00:25:32 --> 00:25:34

And some said that it's

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

specifically his lunch and dinner.

00:25:36 --> 00:25:38

And some say it's everything that a person

00:25:38 --> 00:25:39

eats.

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

Everything that he's going to eat and drink.

00:25:41 --> 00:25:43

Anything that enters into his stomach is going

00:25:43 --> 00:25:45

to be asked about. So what he eats,

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

what he feels, his stomach with, you know,

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

with food and drink. The last opinion

00:25:50 --> 00:25:51

is

00:25:53 --> 00:25:55

with regards to what Naim is referring to

00:25:55 --> 00:25:57

here in this ayah is

00:25:57 --> 00:26:01

every single thing that a person is blessed

00:26:01 --> 00:26:03

with and is given from the bounties and

00:26:03 --> 00:26:04

pleasures of this world.

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

Everything that a person is blessed with in

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

this world, in this dunya.

00:26:10 --> 00:26:12

And the scholars say that this is the

00:26:12 --> 00:26:13

most correct opinion.

00:26:14 --> 00:26:15

The most correct opinion is that he's going

00:26:15 --> 00:26:17

to be asked about everything, and we'll mention

00:26:17 --> 00:26:20

why inshallah. Imam al Tabari, he says that

00:26:20 --> 00:26:21

this is the correct opinion

00:26:21 --> 00:26:22

because

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

in this ayah Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't

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

mention anything specific.

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

He just says al nahim,

00:26:29 --> 00:26:30

the pleasure.

00:26:31 --> 00:26:33

So he doesn't mention anything specific. Rather, he's

00:26:33 --> 00:26:34

just generalizing.

00:26:34 --> 00:26:36

So he's going to ask and disprove that

00:26:36 --> 00:26:39

he's going to ask about everything that a

00:26:39 --> 00:26:41

person has been given in this dunya.

00:26:42 --> 00:26:43

And the prophet, sir, salam,

00:26:44 --> 00:26:46

is mentioned in the hadith in Sahih Muslim

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

that one day he left his house

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

and it said that he left his house

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

at, you know, a strange time of the

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

of the day where people don't normally leave.

00:26:55 --> 00:26:56

Some say it was.

00:26:57 --> 00:26:59

Some say it was because obviously in the

00:26:59 --> 00:27:00

in in, in Arabia,

00:27:01 --> 00:27:02

in hot climates, you don't go out because

00:27:02 --> 00:27:04

it's so hot. You know, people sleep.

00:27:05 --> 00:27:06

So it said that he went out at

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

this time. Some say it was at nighttime.

00:27:08 --> 00:27:11

So he went out of his house,

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

and

00:27:12 --> 00:27:13

he saw Abu Bakr

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

and Umar

00:27:15 --> 00:27:16

outside as well.

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

So he said to them, what's brought you

00:27:19 --> 00:27:20

out of your houses at this time?

00:27:21 --> 00:27:23

And so they said, aljot, you Rasool Allah.

00:27:23 --> 00:27:26

Hunger, oh messenger of Allah. And they were

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

so hungry, and there was nothing in the

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

house that they had to just leave the

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

house, you know, to see if they could

00:27:30 --> 00:27:32

get some food from somewhere. SubhanAllah.

00:27:32 --> 00:27:34

So these are the 3 best people on

00:27:34 --> 00:27:35

the face of this earth. SubhanAllah.

00:27:36 --> 00:27:37

So

00:27:37 --> 00:27:39

the messenger of Allah, he says,

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

by the one who has my soul in

00:27:42 --> 00:27:44

his hands, the same thing has caused me

00:27:44 --> 00:27:46

to leave my house. And this in another

00:27:46 --> 00:27:48

narration, it's mentioned that he lifted his garment

00:27:48 --> 00:27:50

and he had a

00:27:50 --> 00:27:52

a a rock attached to his stomach. Okay.

00:27:52 --> 00:27:54

And this is something that they used to

00:27:54 --> 00:27:56

do, you know, just to, you know, trick

00:27:56 --> 00:27:58

the the brain into thinking that they were

00:27:58 --> 00:27:59

full.

00:27:59 --> 00:28:01

So they would have they would tie like

00:28:01 --> 00:28:03

a a rock to their to their stomach,

00:28:03 --> 00:28:05

making you feel like as if they weren't

00:28:05 --> 00:28:07

hungry, like as if they were full, which

00:28:07 --> 00:28:08

actually shows you how hungry they must have

00:28:08 --> 00:28:10

been. You know, the fact that the stomach

00:28:10 --> 00:28:12

would have been, you know, there would have

00:28:12 --> 00:28:13

been space between the,

00:28:14 --> 00:28:16

between the chest and the stomach, and the

00:28:16 --> 00:28:17

stomach would have been so small that there

00:28:17 --> 00:28:18

would have been a gap there for a

00:28:18 --> 00:28:20

rock to be put there. And

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

so he said that this is why I've

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

left my house. And so they went to

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

the house of one of the people of

00:28:25 --> 00:28:27

the Ansar in Madinah. They went to the

00:28:27 --> 00:28:29

house of 1 of the people of the

00:28:29 --> 00:28:31

Ansar, but he wasn't home. And as they

00:28:31 --> 00:28:34

were walking away, the wife of this man

00:28:34 --> 00:28:35

from the Ansar came

00:28:35 --> 00:28:37

and she said to them,

00:28:38 --> 00:28:39

You're most welcome.

00:28:40 --> 00:28:41

And they the promised

00:28:41 --> 00:28:44

asked where is so and so? Where is,

00:28:44 --> 00:28:47

this man? And the hadith specifically doesn't mention

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

who this person was, but Imam Khurtubi, he

00:28:49 --> 00:28:52

says that this person was someone known as

00:28:52 --> 00:28:53

Malik ibn Tayhan.

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

Malik ibn Tayhan. And he was known as

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

Abu Haytham. And, you know, some of the

00:28:58 --> 00:29:00

scholars, they they talk about this this companion,

00:29:01 --> 00:29:03

and they say that one of

00:29:03 --> 00:29:04

the one of the,

00:29:05 --> 00:29:07

you know, things that he's known for is

00:29:07 --> 00:29:09

the fact that he had the opportunity to

00:29:09 --> 00:29:12

be able to feed these three people, you

00:29:12 --> 00:29:14

know, the greatest people on the face of

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

this earth.

00:29:15 --> 00:29:16

And so when he was when he was

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

when she was asked, you know, where is

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

this person? She said he's going to get

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

some fresh water for us. He's going to

00:29:22 --> 00:29:23

collect some water.

00:29:23 --> 00:29:26

When he came back, he saw the messenger

00:29:26 --> 00:29:27

of Allah and

00:29:27 --> 00:29:28

he saw Abu Bakr and

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

he said

00:29:34 --> 00:29:37

He said all praise to Allah. No one

00:29:37 --> 00:29:39

has more honorable guests today than I have.

00:29:39 --> 00:29:41

And I've got the 3 best people on

00:29:41 --> 00:29:43

the face of this earth. So he's thanking

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

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And he goes out

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

and he he brings back a bunch of

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

ripe dates, dry dates,

00:29:50 --> 00:29:51

and fresh dates,

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

and he tells them to eat from it.

00:29:53 --> 00:29:55

And then he takes a long knife

00:29:55 --> 00:29:57

and he he's, you know, to slaughter an

00:29:57 --> 00:29:59

animal. And the messenger of the lord, he

00:29:59 --> 00:30:01

says to him, beware of slaughtering

00:30:02 --> 00:30:03

a milch animal.

00:30:03 --> 00:30:05

A milch animal. And a milch animal is

00:30:05 --> 00:30:08

basically an animal, a domestic animal, which gives

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

milk.

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

So he's saying don't slaughter an animal which

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

is providing for you. It's giving you something.

00:30:13 --> 00:30:16

Okay. So slaughter another animal. So he's slaughtered

00:30:16 --> 00:30:17

as an animal. He's slaughtered as a sheep,

00:30:17 --> 00:30:20

and they eat and drink until they're satisfied

00:30:20 --> 00:30:23

until they're full. And the messenger of Allah

00:30:23 --> 00:30:25

SWA then turns to his 2 companions, and

00:30:25 --> 00:30:27

this is, you know, the whole point of

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

this story. He turns to his 2 companions

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

and

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

he says to them

00:30:34 --> 00:30:37

He says by him in whose hand is

00:30:37 --> 00:30:37

my life.

00:30:41 --> 00:30:44

You're going to be asked you're certainly for

00:30:44 --> 00:30:45

sure going to be asked

00:30:46 --> 00:30:48

about this bounty on the day of judgment.

00:30:48 --> 00:30:50

And this is why the scholars talk about

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

that you're going to be asked what is

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

this nayim is specifically food and drink because

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

they were given food and drink. So he

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

says you're going to be asked about these

00:30:58 --> 00:31:00

things, this bounty, this name on the day

00:31:00 --> 00:31:01

of judgment.

00:31:04 --> 00:31:07

That hunger brought you out of your houses.

00:31:10 --> 00:31:13

And you're not going to return to your

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

homes

00:31:14 --> 00:31:15

except that this bounty

00:31:16 --> 00:31:18

has come to you. Except that you've been

00:31:18 --> 00:31:20

blessed with this nayim, with this blessing that

00:31:20 --> 00:31:22

you were actually given this when you left

00:31:22 --> 00:31:24

your homes by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:31:26 --> 00:31:27

He mentions,

00:31:27 --> 00:31:30

a hadith where the messenger of Allah SWALAM,

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

he said by him in whose hand is

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

my life. From the bounties that you'll be

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

asked about on the day of judgement

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

are the cool shade.

00:31:39 --> 00:31:40

The cool shade that you were under. What

00:31:40 --> 00:31:42

you did while you were under that shade.

00:31:42 --> 00:31:45

What you were doing, where you were going,

00:31:45 --> 00:31:46

you know, where you were walking to, where

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

you were returning from.

00:31:48 --> 00:31:49

Your

00:31:49 --> 00:31:52

the the cool shade, fresh dates

00:31:52 --> 00:31:53

that you have,

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

you know, where did you get them from,

00:31:56 --> 00:31:58

you You know? How did you purchase them?

00:31:58 --> 00:31:59

And cool,

00:32:00 --> 00:32:03

cool refreshing water. These things you're going to

00:32:03 --> 00:32:05

be asked about on the day of judgment.

00:32:05 --> 00:32:07

And, also, it's mentioned in another hadith, one

00:32:07 --> 00:32:08

of the first bounties

00:32:09 --> 00:32:10

you will be asked about

00:32:11 --> 00:32:13

is that it will be said to you,

00:32:14 --> 00:32:17

didn't we make your body healthy and gay

00:32:17 --> 00:32:19

and we gave you cool water?

00:32:19 --> 00:32:21

So these are from the bounty that Allah

00:32:21 --> 00:32:22

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has blessed a person with.

00:32:22 --> 00:32:24

He's made him healthy. He's given him a

00:32:24 --> 00:32:27

strong healthy body, and he's given him cold

00:32:27 --> 00:32:27

water.

00:32:28 --> 00:32:30

He's given him cold water to drink. Also,

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

the famous hadith the brother meant the brother

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

actually referred to it, the 5 things.

00:32:35 --> 00:32:38

That the son of Adam won't be dismissed

00:32:38 --> 00:32:40

from the presence of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:32:40 --> 00:32:43

until he's asked about the 5 things.

00:32:43 --> 00:32:44

How,

00:32:44 --> 00:32:46

his life and how he spent it,

00:32:46 --> 00:32:48

how he spent his life,

00:32:48 --> 00:32:49

his

00:32:49 --> 00:32:51

youth and how he used it,

00:32:51 --> 00:32:52

his wealth

00:32:53 --> 00:32:54

and how he earned it,

00:32:55 --> 00:32:56

and

00:32:57 --> 00:32:58

how he spent his wealth,

00:32:59 --> 00:33:00

and.

00:33:02 --> 00:33:03

The 5th thing,

00:33:03 --> 00:33:05

how he acted upon the knowledge that he

00:33:05 --> 00:33:07

was given. How he acted upon the knowledge

00:33:07 --> 00:33:09

that he was given. These things a person

00:33:09 --> 00:33:10

will also be asked about.

00:33:11 --> 00:33:12

Imam al Sadih, he

00:33:13 --> 00:33:15

talks about this ayah in his tafsir,

00:33:16 --> 00:33:18

and he says that this means

00:33:19 --> 00:33:20

basically, this ayah is

00:33:20 --> 00:33:22

the meaning of this ayah is did you

00:33:22 --> 00:33:23

show gratefulness

00:33:24 --> 00:33:24

and thanks

00:33:25 --> 00:33:27

for what you had? And did you carry

00:33:27 --> 00:33:30

out Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's rights with what

00:33:30 --> 00:33:31

you were blessed with? Did you give Allah

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

subhanahu wa ta'ala his due rights with every

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

single blessing that you were given? Did you

00:33:35 --> 00:33:37

remember Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala? Did you thank

00:33:37 --> 00:33:38

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?

00:33:38 --> 00:33:40

Or were you someone who was ungrateful

00:33:41 --> 00:33:42

and as a result of it, you're going

00:33:42 --> 00:33:45

to be punished because you were you weren't

00:33:45 --> 00:33:46

thankful for what Allah

00:33:47 --> 00:33:48

had given you. And then he mentions the

00:33:48 --> 00:33:50

aya in his tafsir.

00:33:58 --> 00:34:00

On that, and the day

00:34:02 --> 00:34:03

and and the day,

00:34:06 --> 00:34:08

on this day, meaning on the day of

00:34:08 --> 00:34:10

judgment, those who disbelieved

00:34:10 --> 00:34:12

are going to be exposed

00:34:12 --> 00:34:15

to the fire. And it will be said

00:34:15 --> 00:34:15

to them

00:34:19 --> 00:34:21

that you exhausted your pleasures.

00:34:22 --> 00:34:24

Comes from the same word as which means

00:34:24 --> 00:34:24

to go.

00:34:25 --> 00:34:27

Means to go. It means you you

00:34:28 --> 00:34:31

used up and you exhausted all the blessings

00:34:31 --> 00:34:32

that you were given, all the pleasures of

00:34:32 --> 00:34:33

this life.

00:34:35 --> 00:34:36

In your worldly life,

00:34:38 --> 00:34:39

and you enjoy them.

00:34:43 --> 00:34:46

And today, on this day, you're going to

00:34:46 --> 00:34:48

be awarded, you're going to be rewarded with

00:34:48 --> 00:34:49

punishment

00:34:49 --> 00:34:52

because you weren't grateful, because you weren't thankful

00:34:52 --> 00:34:54

for the blessings that you were given. So,

00:34:55 --> 00:34:56

basically,

00:34:57 --> 00:34:58

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:34:58 --> 00:35:00

is talking about how an individual

00:35:01 --> 00:35:01

should

00:35:02 --> 00:35:05

show thanks and be grateful to to him

00:35:05 --> 00:35:07

for all the blessings that he's been given

00:35:07 --> 00:35:09

in this life. And we ask Allah subhanahu

00:35:09 --> 00:35:11

wa ta'ala that we're thankful for all the

00:35:11 --> 00:35:13

blessing that we've been given and that we

00:35:13 --> 00:35:14

can respond to Allah

00:35:15 --> 00:35:17

and we can, you know,

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

be,

00:35:18 --> 00:35:20

from those who will be from the inhabitants

00:35:20 --> 00:35:22

of Jannah on the day of judgement inshallah.

00:35:23 --> 00:35:24

So this is the end of this,

00:35:25 --> 00:35:27

the tafsir of this Surah. And, inshallah, next

00:35:27 --> 00:35:29

week, we're going to be covering or and

00:35:29 --> 00:35:30

we're gonna be starting the tafsir of Surah

00:35:30 --> 00:35:31

Al Qaria.

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

Inshallah.

00:35:33 --> 00:35:34

If there's any questions, I'm gonna do my

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

best to answer them.
