			Rahim al hamdu Lillah
		
00:00:19 --> 00:01:02
			wa Salatu was Salam O Allah at a man milania clearly concrete La Jolla, Jemaine Nabina. Muhammad in
wild early he was savage main, some of our the cinematic commercial law, he want to go to their his
brothers and sisters, and welcome now this is the 27th lesson of the soul of Yusuf Ali Salam. And
this is the final episode as well inshallah we'll be covering the remaining ayat from verses number
106 to the end 111. We've got to the part of the surah, where the story has come to an end of the
surah hasn't come to an end. And these verses that come out the end, they seem very different to the
story. I mean, they seem like they're not related to but the reality is that they are like a
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:32
			conclusion to the story. Just like the first three verses were like introduction to the story, the
first three verses, you know, they didn't seem to be related to the story, but they were if you read
them and understand them properly. So what do these final verses talk about? What they are
essentially like threats? Okay, and warnings being given to the parish? So how do we understand
verses about warning and threats coming to the parish and to all those people out there that think
like them?
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:55
			To be connected with the story of usefulness? Um, how do we like understand that? Well, the way we
understand that is like, why was the solar reviewed in the first place? Who Sora was revealed, as
opposed to bees, because some of the machinery can challenge the processor, certain or not, Rosie
mentioned this as well, they asked about the story of useful Islam out of a sense of challenge
obstinacy.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:41
			So they asked for Islam tell us if you really a prophet. Okay. And then I'm also part of the
reviews. So the use of Jim. And so he's happy that look, Allah has helped me aided me. And there's a
hope in the back of his mind that obviously, once he tells him the story there, what's going to
happen to the kurush. Or at least some of them, they will, they will accept, they will embrace, they
will submit, however, after relating the whole story than last one, okay, and threaten them. Why?
Well, because as a lot of policies in this portion, that most of them, they're not gonna believe
what Oh, * as well. How does that even though you really are eager for them to believe? So it's
		
00:02:41 --> 00:03:22
			kind of like concluding the story that I've just told you the story useful Islam in the very best
way, in the most beautiful detail? Are you not going to believe now? Well, if that's the case, then
all that's left then is to warn you and to threaten you. Okay. And the idea is that the story
useless is a miracle that the President would know it. Yeah, and unlettered man living in the
deserts of Arabia would then be able to pull out the story of usefulness and I'm in a way this more
detailed than related by someone other scriptures. And by the way, you can't read so this is a
miracle, it should be enough for you to accept it. And you still don't well, then all that's left is
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:34
			to warn you. Okay, warn you of the consequences of now, rejecting it, despite the fact that your
question has been answered. Okay. So let's read now the final verses before we start to explain
them.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:41

			Sri Lanka Alisha, you
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			live comi
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:47
			verse 1061, ah, you may know exaro home Villa de la vamos silicone most of them, most of them, they
won't they believe, except that with the belief, they also machinery Kuhn, this is how you can read
this verse is translated as most of them do not have a man in Allah without associating others with
him. But technically Allah is saying, Well, my yoke may not act through him. Most of them do not
believe in law, except that alongside the man, they should, as well. So I'm also talking about the
correlation that look, the reality is that most of them, in one sense, they have a man, but at the
same time, they must recall. Yeah, so this brings a question to our minds, like, what does that
		
00:06:47 --> 00:07:26
			mean? Exactly? Either someone has a man or they don't have a man or the Muslim or, you know, Muslim.
There's no in between is there? So this is a question. How do you understand this, that someone is
saying that most of them, they have a man but alongside the man, they do share as well? So they wish
the corner? They want me? No, no, Allah says that they emotionally corn. Okay, that's a question.
The other thing is, what does this have to do with sort of use for the story of useful Islam? And
the answer to that question is that Well, you've just been told the story, a magnificent story. Now,
what's the response? except you're going to believe you can take the lessons? Or you're going to
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:59
			say, well, there's another question you don't like, sometimes you doubt. And you might be standing
at the dollar store, or someone comes up to you and says, You know, I want to ask you a couple of
questions about Islam. Yeah, no problem. Go ahead. So, Mohammed is your God? No, no, Mohammed is not
how God is the messenger of God. Okay. And this thing about terrorism, you know, can you explain it
to me? Yeah, you know, there's some crazy people out there, they have a misunderstanding about
Islam. And Islam is not really about Islam, this. Oh, yeah. And then, you know, your prophet got
married to a young girl. Is that right? Yeah. Let me explain that to you. They, and then after that,
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			another question. And then after that, another question.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:17
			Okay, so if I answer these questions, are you going to accept this enough? I don't mind. If you
genuinely feel that Islam has something to offer you. And you ask him because you don't understand
these things? And then after that, you'll accept no problem?
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:45
			Or is it the case that I can answer 101 questions, but you're just asking, because either you just
want to frustrate me, or because, you know, he wants to try and point out the flaws in Islam, but
you can't find any flaws. Which is exactly what people ask questions, because they want to find the
truth. Are you asking questions for that reason? Or is there another reason? Well, this is what
Allah has teaching us here that those people they ask the question they didn't actually want the
answer.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:54
			Isn't, they want to know distributism? Because they don't believe that you're a prophet. They just
wanted to try and poke holes and see, well, if you're a prophet, then you should be able to do this.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:09:21
			Well, the cases are responded to that. Okay, well, you now believe, or there's another question. So
let's say the reality is, let me tell you the reality. Most of them they don't believe except that
they are mostly Kuhn, at the very same time, meaning they're not gonna they're not gonna accept it
regardless. The interesting thing here is that even Allah knows that they're not going to accept it,
most of them not going to accept it, he still reviewed so the use of
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:27
			now of course, for our benefit, support Allah. Thank you very much for asking the question.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:38
			But besides our benefit, why would the last panel that knowing that most of them will not accept the
message if you told them the story of useful Islam still reveal it?
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:54
			There's two questions. The first question is how can someone any have a man and be emotionally at
the same time second question is why there must have had the reveal distributorless now when he
knows that most of them are not going to accept it, or some are still gonna reject it?
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			You can answer the first question he man and share
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:09
			Combination inside one person how does that work exactly? How can someone have a man except that
they are majestic at the same time?
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			I don't ask this question yep
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			they do believe in a low key
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24
			okay so the worship others besides Allah like it was like they used to
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:44
			okay so they've taken something that should be given to a lot of loan but they've given it to others
our case close if anyone be more specific as to what the brother said what have they given to others
that should have been given only to Allah?
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:45
			Yep.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:49
			Okay
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:53
			Okay.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:10
			Okay, so they believe in one aspect what aspect do they believe in?
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:17
			that exists that he's a creator. But then another aspect they don't believe in which is
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:28
			Okay, very good. Very good that they reject the prophecy of a hamster center. Yeah, so this is one
clear case but doesn't make much like if someone denies the prophecy
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			technically does it
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:33
			doesn't technically does it.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:40
			But they are also commercially cool. So which other aspect are they
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:45
			you know disbelieving in which therefore makes them emotionally cannot?
		
00:11:52 --> 00:12:43
			Okay, very good. So Ruby means ascribing allies that up. We said worship they giving worship to
Allah, which is Zulu here. Olivia Yeah, this is the way that our boss or the announcer Anoma as well
as the sort of explain that a lot of how they're saying here that they accepted Allah as the Holic
as the creator. But at the same time, they worship beneath Allah many other things. So they scribed
on one side, having a man Allah as a creator, but on the other side, they said Allah, we worship you
as well as others beneath you. So for example, we used to go for Hajj, they say La bacon, la mala
make eluxury Kuhn, who Allah Dominica, who Mr. Malak, some way till we are they, they said, Allah,
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:51
			we're here at your service, as well as you don't have any partners, except the partners that you
chose to have for yourself and you own?
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			Yes, so they said,
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:20
			You are the Allah. And alongside you, you have partners, you have given yourself those partners.
Okay, so they mix between a man and ship. So, what we're learning here is that Islam really is all
or nothing. Either you believe in Allah, and ascribe all your worship to him and him alone, and not
to any saint not to any I do not to any grave, not to any other person living or dead.
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			Or your music.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:14:07
			There is no like, mix match going on. Some of this and some of this, all of it for a lot, a lot A
lot. And that's the only thing I'll accept anything other than that is good for sure. So that's how
we understand this. This ayah which answers one question, which is, how can I say What do you mean?
Thoreau whom biLlahi most of them do believe in Allah except that they also moshtix as well meaning
that they imagine that they have in Allah as his as a creator doesn't mean nothing to me. Why
because they're doing shall cause me at the same time which makes them wish one question answer
they're very good. The other question which is why would unlock how the reveal the story useful
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:14
			esalaam when he then tells us after really get most of you will reject it. Most of us do not believe
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			others that will hear the story and become Muslim.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			Okay, but
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:35
			later on, people come they listen to the story. They accept Islam.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:40
			But later on, will most people accept Islam? Or will most people still reject Islam?
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:58
			Yeah, the machinery gone. They still rejected most of them. But even until now, most people will
accept Islam or mostly will reject Islam.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			reject Islam still is like
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:06
			universal, most people they refuse to believe.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:17
			Okay, so regarding the most people that refuse to believe, why would Allah still choose to show them
a miraculous sign when he knows that Muslim will disbelieve
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			to prove his prophecy
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:27
			yeah that's what we're saying here that this proves his prophecy but they still denied it
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:34
			isn't it they still denied it is clear cut proof this man he came with a story just like that can't
even read.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:42
			Okay, Allah you already knew that they're going to deny it. So what do we learn from the fact that
you still went ahead and revealed it is
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			the message okay.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:16:10
			Right okay to establish the evidence against them. Okay, that's true from one sense that people will
say on the Okay, I'm out of desperation and I was disadvantaged I wasn't given enough information
enough time etc etc. Very good. That's one part of the answer. There's something else though.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:12
			Yes.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:26
			The the okay to the professor sort of there's so many reasons why consoling him comforting but we're
just focusing on the most of the people which Allah tells us they will not accept it even though
they know it.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:36
			The ones that benefit or the few the believers but
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:46
			there was requested by those people that are going to reject anyway, isn't it? And then unless to
revealed it, and then said afters but most of us to reject it?
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:50
			Yeah, so there is a question like how comes?
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:55
			One more attempt one more turn? Anyone really think
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			you handle it?
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			Okay displaying the power of Allah.
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			Yanni it does, of course it does without a shadow of a doubt.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			To prove the ulterior motives
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:19
			for sure, it does show that there is an ulterior motive and the evidence is also then brought
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:28
			sooner for me. But there's something else. And that's something else is that do we know who most of
those people are right now?
		
00:17:29 --> 00:18:10
			Do we know who they are? You're one of those most of those people who don't even get to talk to you.
Nope, when I wasted my time with you, you on the other hand, we don't do we don't know who they are.
So Allah subhanho wa Taala even though he tells us most people reject it, we don't know who most of
those people are. Which means that the way we behave and communicate Islam and propagate Islam is
not based on most people will not accept it. So I'm not going to I'm going to basically avoid most
of the people and I'll just focus on local people. Rather, the idea is that every single person
needs to be spoken to about Islam and showed and invited to Islam and I will tell you that most of
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:11
			them will reject you.
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:46
			Okay, so I revealed this to all people even though I know most of them are rejected in the same way
you need to invite every single person even though most of the people will reject you see the other
side is Oh, most people will reject it what's the point isn't it allows teaching us that one needs
to be done and that's why in the next couple of verses Allah his school had he severely say this is
my way. So Allah you just told us that most people will disbelief But still, yes, still go out there
and spread the message of Islam. I'm just telling you what will happen when you do
		
00:18:48 --> 00:19:12
			Okay, so this is the underlying message being given to the processor. I reveal this aura to you and
you know, I know that you really want them to believe unfortunately they will not but don't be
disheartened continue on continue on okay continue on. Now the threat comes after me know and do
more Shia tominaga below e ot almost double that don't want him let
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:59
			me know Allah talking will asking question about the Polish and everyone like the polish. So what do
you mean everyone like to polish? Well, someone says to akutan bit about Islam. Okay, I'll tell you
what would you like to know I like to know about stories of the prophets. Okay. I've destroyed use
of have read of that. Let's go through that. Let's talk about that. Okay, that's good. That's really
good. It's interesting. Okay, so what do you think then? Islam? stories of profits is there Yeah. Is
there but you know, okay. So this is the case just like the kurush just like the polish. So the same
message going to all people, okay. All people what does that miss it alpha amino. Do they
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			feel safe.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:29
			May Allah is also a question. to reprimand there will be okay not asking question as to why, but
asking questions to reprimand you you know like you do something wrong. Like I think I mentioned
this before you skip school, bang school and among them says to Why did you Well, you went to school
last Thursday What? What happened? And what was not asking you why you didn't go to school she
telling you off here Why didn't you go?
		
00:20:31 --> 00:21:18
			So the same Allah is reprimanding them after me? No, do they feel safe and to hamachi that maharsha
will come to the mean other Villa from the punishment of Allah Alicia lover she means when something
surrounds you from all angles, like so Look, man, what are you there last year how modem can bulan
Allah said about those people stuck in the middle of the sea stranded on the ship. And then waves
Allah says that those waves will come down upon them here come down upon them. So these like these
big waves coming and crashing down as a rescue. So all I say is don't be afraid number one thing,
which is that the punishment of Allah will come upon them and encompass them from all angles, okay.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:22:00
			of ours young men either belay Oh, do masa. Oh, case number two, that the sir, that the trumpet the
final hour will come upon them Delta. Botham is basically out of surprise, like come up behind you,
and you have no idea is coming up. second case would be that the sound will come on you don't we're
homeless. Sharon, we're homeless. Sharon just goes to emphasize how much of a surprise to them, that
they're going about their daily lives, and they haven't got a clue what's about to hit them what's
coming the final hour. And it comes to them in a way that they have no idea whatsoever.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:44
			Now, what the first case is Allah saying, number one, did they feel safe, that the punishment will
come to them right now in this dunya finish them off. That's how angry angry Allah is with them for
rejecting the processor. Or case number two, I let them live. I let them live all the way up to the
end of time. And then the Sara comes and takes them here. Like it's already a scene, where homie aka
Simone, whilst they are just arguing and bickering amongst themselves in the marketplaces, meaning
to the end of time they given enough time, but then the SEC comes and takes them which triggers the
punishment of the hereafter. So they feel safe from the Punisher dunya. And they feel safe from the
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:53
			punishment of Akira, meaning What's the matter with you have you know, understanding? This is what's
coming your way? Watch out. The question here is that
		
00:22:55 --> 00:23:08
			a lot of describes the second punishment, which is the punishment of the earth that are coming to
people all of a sudden, here, both all of a sudden out of surprise catching them off guard? What
kind of message do you think that's giving the people
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:12
			like this? You know, you're saying to someone look,
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:40
			same same person who asked you all those questions, you say, well, I've answered these questions,
you know? And do you really like to think you know that you are going to be looked at favorably with
God after you die? Like what are you going to say to God, when you meet God? You asked all these
questions, you kind of knew about the truth, but you're not accepting it. were you gonna say to God,
you know, some missing, you know, what do you mean, when you say to God, is that like a threat? say,
well, it's a warning from God, if you don't accept it, we punishment.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:59
			What kind of punishment? Oh, it could come right now. It could come right now, who's to say don't
feel safe when that has happened to many people before? And that's the next verse, or live forever.
And then just before the final hour? Bang, you're taken by surprise.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:06
			So taken by surprise, the final hour? Like what kind of messages Do you think that person is going
to be getting?
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
			is taken take me by surprise.
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:13
			Catch me off guard, unaware?
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:26
			What kind of messages are going to give? How is that different to saying the punishment of lunia
second time, the second thing is the punishment of the actor which will come catch you off guard
outcome, and that's it
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:30
			is the hereafter now, what do you think
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:34
			was the extra benefit in saying it's going to come all of a sudden?
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:50
			Leave your ship immediately? Yes, he is giving that message like this is a powerful warning. Stop
and change your ways right now. But specifically about the punishment coming all of a sudden.
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			What kind of extra message is that giving
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:57
			anyone have an idea?
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:14
			Yeah, that's true. Don't be complacent. Don't think you're so, so safe and secure. But that's not
the overall meaning of that. We're just focusing on why Allah subhanaw taala say, the final hour
will be established Botha all of a sudden, catch you off guard.
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:27
			Let me let me let me teach you something here.
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:48
			If you want to think critically about something, sometimes you need to think about the alternative.
Here the alternative, okay, let's say it doesn't come. All of a sudden. Here it comes. And you can
see it coming like big tsunami coming or something far away. I got 30 minutes. Oh my god. This is
the end of time.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			It's only minutes away. What are you going to do?
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:58
			You're going to prepare, what are you going to do when you prepare? What's the first thing you're
going to do?
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:04
			You're going to make Toba isn't it? You're gonna make Toba.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:12
			Ah, so that's the alternative sound comes not muster. That comes any slowly.
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:22
			Oh, I think I need to slow myself out now is right there. Let me make Toba. Okay, so now revisit the
question.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:27
			What extra meaning comes about when Allah say is going to come all of a sudden?
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			No, are made the
		
00:26:41 --> 00:27:20
			sense that you will not have a chance to make Toba? Do you get this? If the sound is going to be
established, all of a sudden souls taken End of story your life just came to an end. And it you
don't even know where he? It means that you did not have the final chance to make Toba. Do this.
Yeah. So this is even worse of a threat. If the other doesn't come to you in this dunya. And you
managed to live until the end of time. The fact is that when the end of time comes, you know, you're
going to have a chance to make tober. Okay, which is worse. So the main message of the ayah is, as I
said, don't be complacent.
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:24
			And the other interesting thing is, you know,
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:47
			telling people about Hellfire, about punishment about God's anger, these kind of things are
politically incorrect, isn't it to talk about these things? I mean, people say, Oh, you're talking
about God, God's punishment, God's wrath Hellfire, his movie took, you know, you know, he's supposed
to be talking about things talk about peace.
		
00:27:49 --> 00:28:26
			took a piece of my love, talk about compassion. And he these are the things that we should be
talking about. Just a second, let's see what the Quran has to say. In fact, there's a mixture,
mixture of talking about topsheet congratulations about Jenna about peace, about loving Allah, by
loving the believers. But there's also talk about Hellfire as also talk about punishment. We can't
ignore that. And one of the things of how long our brothers and sisters, that if you speak to a non
Muslim, you speak to them out of love Anyway, you want them to embrace Islam out of love. And you
don't want them to go to the Hellfire out of love to. Yeah, but the main thing is that, when you
		
00:28:26 --> 00:29:06
			actually get to that point, where you explain Islam to them, you have tried your best to help them
to understand you've shown them good character, everything. There is the point where you need to
say, there is consequences if you don't accept, and they're not going to be good. How are you going
to be facing good after this? etc, etc, those type of statements. Now, what the IDM thinks
apparently is the reaction on those people's faces. So many times I witness it myself. When you're
giving our I remember one lady, this is going back few years old lady she had we did these
exhibitions, and she came twice second time. So I know that she's interested. Oh, lady, well to do
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:32
			academic I think it she said, Look, I've got one quick jump to the jump the gun race. I said, you
come in twice now and it's fantastic. What's your reservations about accepting Islam who've fallen,
isn't it? But she come twice. I just said that. She said, Well, the thing is, you know, I think
Islam is very male orientated. For example, women, they can't pray when they on the menses.
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:34
			I said, Okay,
		
00:29:35 --> 00:30:00
			that's true. They can't. But you do realize that you know, worship is our way of submitting to God
submitting to His will. He wants us to pray. So we pray. So for a woman, being on a menses and being
unable to pray, is also a form of submission because God said pray now and don't pray now. So in
that is the spirit of submission. So you know, to say it's male orientated just because of this is
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:20
			Maybe you haven't really captured the meaning of worship here. So we talked to she agreed they, but
Hello has any kind of conversation. Nice to meet you. I said by the way, and if Think about it, you
know, because we don't even know how long we're going to live there. We're gonna go meet God. We're
gonna say to God,
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:42
			there's only two places people go, either they go to * or they go to Paradise. Let's think about
it properly. Like your face change, her face changed. And it wasn't I wasn't saying out of the
bitterness, frustration, or you don't accept it, you're gonna go to *. It wasn't like there was
genuine, genuine concern. So she her face changed on my face See that? She was like,
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:44
			I think I did.
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:51
			I think I already did you think about this, the same thing. There's three, three.
		
00:30:52 --> 00:31:07
			from three people from Ghana. Young, two young students took to Islam told about Islam 30 minutes.
And then by the end of it, then by the way, if you don't accept this, some big punishment awaiting
people, big punishment.
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:10
			And this is I have to tell you, because
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:15
			believe it or not on the other side, you'll say I never told you. That's what's going to happen.
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:27
			And so one of them accepted Islam. After that one of them accepted Islam. And I think they're a
family. So maybe they all accepted Islam archers, but we know that it's politically incorrect.
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:51
			What is politically incorrect doesn't dictate what we say what we don't and put on dictates what we
say what we don't. And so, part of the positives are amazing, the positives are amazing, because
Allah knows human beings, human beings are not computers, they have emotions, we have feelings. So,
all of these things combined is what produces the best data and the best that was that was put on.
So here warning being given threats being given.
		
00:31:52 --> 00:32:45
			Next first call her the sabini either either law say meeting the professor has been instructed by
law now say this I've told you the story, some threats have come and I want you to say these words
What are these words have he severely This is my Sabine, Sabine meaning my path, my path, my Sunnah,
my methodology, all of these things could be mentioned them you can say you know, this is mean
hirjis is tunity to study up all of these words to kind of reflect the same meaning which is that
Islam is my way. This is the way I this is my way my path. Is this this Islam, everything I've just
told you, okay, there are a lot. This is I call to this, what do I call to Allah? A call to a Lost
		
00:32:45 --> 00:33:25
			Planet Allah. How do I call to Allah, Allah bossy, Ratan, upon basura. To meetings to proceed on
here. One meaning about dimension means Allah zero means Allah Leah pin with great certainty,
conviction, passion, you know, what I call to Allah? It's not one of those dry things, you know,
puts people to sleep. No, when I go to a lab, and I have full conviction. I want no by Islam. When I
talk about Islam, I'm just not just giving information. I'm put my heart and soul into the other
thing. That's one meaning and he said the most.
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:41
			The most troublesome person is a person like personal certainty. He came up in second view, measure
webinar shoot and others is out of the sea. Latin means Allah, how upon evidence means
		
00:33:42 --> 00:34:30
			when I talk about Islam, I don't talk about Islam. Like I think Islam is a religion of peace. And I
think Islam is good for you. And I think the way you prays five times a day, I'm just guessing here.
No, no, Allah vasila means upon evidence, sound knowledge, evidence based approach to talking about
Islam. Yeah, what I say? I'm not saying based on my whim, I'm saying based on knowledge, Allah
basura T, because they said that the you know, from basilar comes from, you know, Basra we mean
culture like site. Yeah. So what does site have to do with evidence? Well, they said the person who
has evidence about something is like he can see the reality of that thing better than everybody
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:35
			else, because he's got evidence. I know what happened because I've got the evidence with me, so I
can see
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:47
			what happened actually happened. The other thing is that you know, when last talks about the man in
the Quran, what word is allow us to talk about human and to hate. It doesn't use the word though. He
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:53
			uses another word, like a similar tude
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:57
			though I hate to Allah is like, what
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:08
			Now no one seems is like a reoccurring word in the Quran used to refer to the hate as well as a
recurring word in the Quran referring to goofer
		
00:35:09 --> 00:36:04
			No, no, no light there, though hate to Allah is light. And here are the evidence with which you're
supposed to call to is Allah vasila something that you can see or gives you sight? They all links
in, like, Islam is a light, color people with that light and that light is evidence as opposed to
Kufa which is darkness here darknesses In fact, so Allah vasila teen means I call people to Allah
based on knowledge and evidence, okay, not based on whim and fancy my understanding, though, is
based on evidence, Anna, me the process Allah, I do that what many and those who follow me.
multinational law said the people that follow the process that I'm the best in this meeting,
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:16
			according to a law with evidence were who the whole affair or Rashid in the rightly guided whole
affair in Abu Bakr Siddique, an armored and earth man and Ollie are the louder
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:54
			they were the best in doing this. And the best of the best out of them was a worker. So they called
the louder and he was the best in this. And he said that this teaches us that every single person,
if he wants to be a true follow up the processor them, they need to do this one thing, which is this
one thing called people to Islam, based on knowledge, base of knowledge, anyone as far as to say
that people that don't call others to Allah based on knowledge, they don't have any right to say
that they are true photos of him. Even he said, if they're from his own blood lineage
		
00:36:55 --> 00:37:18
			is really, really hard. I'm making a point here that Allah wants us to call people to Islam based on
knowledge. Okay? Now this, the question arises about Dawa, like what's the outcome of that? What is
the ruling on doing that? What do we all have to be people that own those tools on the street? So
like, what is this like, I want to be a tree full of the cylinder or not, and have the ability to
surmount
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:57
			The problem is our understanding of that. What does it mean? That power is done with the tongue as
well as the lips? What do you mean tongue? Well, you can talk to someone about Islam. It shows
someone Islam, show somebody Islam with your limbs. So is explicit and implicit, explicit, as
obvious token someone Islam they ask you a question or you explain to them about Islam. Explicit is
understood. Implicit is what we kind of miss sometimes, you know, like useful Islam. He was called
by the two prisoners that they saw him to be of the who
		
00:37:58 --> 00:38:15
			Miocene we see to be of those excellent people meaning excellent and conduct according to one
interpretation. And the same thing about the brothers when they said, honor, don't take Binyamin
take one of us instead of Binyamin Indeed, we see to be one of the
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:37
			martini and again, Marcin again. So his character was exemplifying Islam, meaning through his good
character and conduct he was doing now. Okay, so which means we can do our everyday work at home,
via the internet, on the streets, wherever.
		
00:38:38 --> 00:39:23
			So the ruling, what is the ruling, though? Is it something I can do like on a Saturday and Sunday
and Monday to Friday? And that's my time, Saturday, Sunday. And last time? What does it mean
exactly? I'm not actually explains. He said that. Regarding the ruling of Dawa, what is the ruling
there what we know is that in the early days of Islam, when the president of first start to make his
call, then doing that was an obligation upon every single individual upon every single individual in
federal allowing every single individual had to do the hour. And that's why the person who said
ballyhoo Andy wallow, and communicate or propagate from me, even if it's just one I, even if it's
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:59
			just one, every single Muslim had to do that. They had to go out there and tell people or Islam
either just through the character or explicitly whatever it was, according to the person's ability,
some can able to do more, some are able to list whatever your ability you have to do. You have a
choice. And then he said later on when Islam grew and became dominant, and people could see what
Islam was and the message of Islam was clear, like when the Muslims in Medina and now it's clear who
the Muslims are what they believe, and I can access it. Then it became fabric effect.
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:16
			became an obligation a communal obligation. Some people still had to go out the activity of
propagate Islam, as well as Pousada citizen, Ron Walter cominco. De Ilha de Marana, Bill Murphy, and
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:36
			Alison, Ron. And let the arise Ming come from amongst you, oma people who will call to good, who
will enjoy and you know, what call to what is hired in join, which is marrow, which is good, and
prohibit people from doing wrong things.
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:57
			So Ming come from mongst you here now that Islam has become dominant? Now, some of you are still
obliged. So it different from time to time, basically, that's the point he's trying to make. And I
think that's very interesting, because in our times, if someone was to say is Farooqi, fire, some
people are blind to the others. If they're doing it, you don't have to do it.
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:04
			Then it may not make sense because even if those people are doing it, are people
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:11
			do people still understand Islam? People understand what true Islam is right now? Or are they
misinformed about Islam?
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:16
			Mostly misinformed? Isn't it mostly is the Fox News stuff of Islam that people understand.
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:20
			So if those people who are doing that
		
00:41:23 --> 00:42:01
			are not able to make sure that Islam is being understood properly, then what it means is that those
people are not doing enough, or they can't do enough. If that's the case, then it means that us
people are then part of those people mean, we have to enjoy, you have to work with them. Yeah, up
until the understanding of Islam, which is prevalent in society becomes sound and correct. Yeah. So
it might not be productive to say, what is the hook of Tao? Is it for dying? Every single one of you
has to do that? Or is it just a communal obligation? Well, to be honest, it depends on the
situation. Yeah, this way, I'm naturally saying it depends on situation. If you're living in a
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:38
			Muslim country, and people know about Islam, and they can access Islam and study Islam or the rest
of it, maybe there you can say well, is Faruqi fire can be an obligation, but living in these times
in the West, you know, Islam is being attacked all the time and Muslims are being defamed and Islam
and the message of Islam is being twisted and corrupted, then it's probably closer to being found on
every single person than it is to being felt on certain people, isn't it? Yeah, this is how we
understand this Okay. Then Allah subhanaw taala after saying that, as for the Prophet, tell people
that you call to Allah upon your knowledge, or upon or with conviction, you as well as those that
		
00:42:38 --> 00:43:26
			follow you silverhand Allah, then say Subhana Allah, this seems to be like not really connected, but
it is because Allah is saying, tell people about me. Okay, call people to me, mean to embrace Islam
and to submit to me and say Subhana, Allah Subhana Allah means and tell people that I am perfect. No
imperfections whatsoever, I am free from all those rubbish things that people say about me. Okay,
so, a lot. So go out there and tell people what is okay. These things that you say about Allah is a
son, he has daughters or that there is no God because if there was a god, why is the injustice in
the world all of this rubbish that people say, you to go out there? Subhan Allah, meaning these
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:38
			things are wrong. You shouldn't be saying that about God. Let me tell you why. Okay, so that's the
part and parcel of that our what ma Amina was she came and then tell people that I am not of the
machinery
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:50
			and the processor does he really just say that? I'm not emotionally cool. Today? No, he's not
emotionally cool. Of course. So like, Why? Because the person I'm being told and tell them also,
you're not emotionally cool.
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:55
			I'm not have you guys I'm not mushnik like you guys.
		
00:43:56 --> 00:44:01
			They know the uniform Michigan. Why was the fight and this is?
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:06
			Okay, so you dissociate yourself from them?
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:09
			Uh huh.
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:21
			Yeah, so you say I've got nothing to do with you whatsoever. Okay, so they already know that you do.
You don't have anything to do them. Why should I go ahead and say that, why should be explicit about
the
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:23
			ideas?
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:34
			level? Okay. Emphasizing high level? Yeah.
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:36
			Seeing
		
00:44:39 --> 00:44:40
			this association.
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:42
			Yeah.
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:55
			Okay, so he's saying you have to make it public.
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:14
			What it means to be a true worship of Allah? Okay, so you're saying you need to totally distinguish
you guys day and way over here? Why not nothing like you? We have our own values, our own beliefs,
all the rest of it.
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:25
			Yes, this is close to the answer, which is to basically publicly say, we are, unfortunately.
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:55
			very different to you. Okay? You think unfortunately for us, fortunately. But that's the case. We're
not similar in any way, we might have some similarities on a human level, but the reality is that
when it comes to beliefs, and values, we're very different. You know, and that's a tough message to
give, isn't it? Like it's not it's a message that's gonna get you in a little bit of trouble saying
those kinds of things. But it's necessary. And Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam said exactly the same thing
mama and we know we should again
		
00:45:56 --> 00:46:20
			no way like you wish to be gone No way. Nothing to do with you whatsoever. Is it really necessary to
go to that extent? Or law saying yes, there is necessary when the time is right. You have to work
towards this. Will you make the explanation of Islam clear cut with compassion and love? and say I'm
sorry, I can't be part of this combo of this whatsoever.
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:24
			In the show, we stopped here for Salah
		
00:46:28 --> 00:46:30
			we got how many minutes?
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:49
			Okay, I'll count five minutes to Sharla and then after sort of we shall we'll have some
refreshments. We'll finish that there's the two lessons we learn here. Notice here Allah subhanaw
taala says Paul had the CBD. This is my Sabine my path anyone know the plural of Sabine?
		
00:46:51 --> 00:47:08
			Subaru. Subaru Subaru means paths. So Allah subhanaw taala says to the person who say that this is
my path, one path, and not many, many different paths. You've heard this type of rhetoric before,
like, you know, whole path leads to God, you know, called
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:15
			God down with Islam and all paths leads to God, you know, my path, you have your path, you know,
while Salah.
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:17
			Actually, no.
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:38
			It's not quite like that. Or the other narrative, which is like the postmodern narrative, which is
that, you know, truth is relative. Truth relative, right? Is or this is all, it's all relative. Do
you know what that means? The sound some people it sounds catchy and as truth is relative. Yes,
true. Actually, your perspective, my perspective? Yeah.
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:45
			Well, that actually means like, I can believe that there's a God but it's up to you. I mean, this is
your perspective on things.
		
00:47:47 --> 00:48:30
			This is very, very problematic to say it's all relative, because that means that there is no such
thing as abstract truth is no thing which is the truth, regardless of what people say what they
think, you understand that. This is what the postmodern narrative is, there is no such thing as
abstract truth. So when you process them is being totally foolhardy severely, we're being told that
there is only one path out there that leads to got only one path. All the other paths might have
pseudo truth might have a bit of truth might have some goodness in it, but the reality is that which
partly can lead to God's pleasure. Many parts know Seville, only one part Serato monster team Sirat
		
00:48:30 --> 00:48:54
			one path that is straight going to Allah subhanaw taala not many paths, which teaches us that truth
is not relative. Yeah, there is such thing as an abstract truth. Okay, belief in God, who is a
messenger? Well, these things abstract truth. Some things may be relative, but there is abstract
truth, which is the truth, regardless of what people say. So that's the first thing.
		
00:48:56 --> 00:49:19
			And the second thing is, okay, so you said, you know, we should do our upon evidence, according to
our capabilities. Fine. So what happened is, someone asked me a question, and I really don't know
what to say, What do I do then? To try and wing it? Or try and kind of make up an answer on the
spot? or What should I do exactly?
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:59
			know, if you don't know, slavery? I don't know. And this is parlour some people unfortunately, find
it very difficult to say this. I don't know. It's a good question. I'll find out. I don't actually
know right now. No problem whatsoever. This is the implicit understanding Allah saying cool to my
way or call to Allah with evidence means if you can't call to Allah with evidence, then say, I don't
have evidence right now. You know, I don't know. I'll go on. I'll go and find out. The problem is,
it sounds so simple, isn't it? You don't know what to say you don't know. The problem is the ego.
Ego comes in with arrogance comes in. You think in a loose face.
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:18
			But this is the Islamic way. The Islamic culture, humility, humility. You're upon the truth just
because you can't answer this one question doesn't mean Islam malaria, the villa is not valid, is
your understanding isn't up to scratch your knowledge? And I'm scared to say I don't know. Yeah.
		
00:50:19 --> 00:50:30
			And you know the story, my mom and grandma and man came to him from far distance and he said, I have
the he said 37 questions or 40 questions. And to a great many of those questions, Mr. Malik said,
		
00:50:32 --> 00:50:41
			I don't know. He said, okay, from so far away to ask you these questions. I gathered this question
for all my people in my village. And you said
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:45
			well, should I go and tell them he said tell them about Malik said
		
00:50:46 --> 00:50:47
			I don't know
		
00:50:48 --> 00:50:49
			that's it.
		
00:50:50 --> 00:51:01
			I mean, there's no Shana so me in saying that I don't know if I don't know. Yeah. Anyway, these to
listen to Dan Sharma will continue after the dose. So practical hamburger should allow us the
Furukawa to break.
		
00:51:06 --> 00:51:46
			Off the loss of Hannah dalla tells the process I'm just saying this, that this is my message. This
is why I call to Allah upon evidence me. And those Follow me, male lawmakers from those people. So
hon Allah, Allah and then he says how the law meeting I call to Allah, I invite you to embrace the
man in Allah subhana wa Tada. And also, I say so hard Allah, I declare that Allah is perfect and has
no imperfections as well. These things that people say that they do, they have no right to do that
right to say that. Well, man, I'm in a machine, I'm gonna make it very clear. I'm not of those
people that are mostly corn, me. And you were very different, very different in many ways. And
		
00:51:46 --> 00:52:05
			that's something I need to make clear to you all. So this is like coming in the middle of the
passage was that's known as juvenile monetary law. It's like in brackets in brackets are lots of
palletizing there. So before this, if you rewind, the message is essentially a profit.
		
00:52:06 --> 00:52:12
			Now that the story has been revealed, unfortunately, what you'll find is most people still won't
believe
		
00:52:13 --> 00:53:05
			open bracket in this, however, continue on the message. unrelentingly don't let that faze you don't
put don't make don't let that put you off, continue on saying how he severely of 100 close bracket.
And as they reject you now, others came off before you as well. prophets messages just like you and
they also rejected they were also rejected as well. So this is like in brackets, this is coming in
the middle. Okay, saying that even though I'm telling you most people are gonna reject it. continue
on. However, most people before also same situation. Okay. Same situation. So the next verse 109
woman, salami publica, La Jolla new la bien, para la, this verse, or this part of the verse, Allah
		
00:53:05 --> 00:53:32
			subhanaw taala tells us essentially three qualities that every messenger had three qualities. Okay.
And in saying these three qualities, Allah is giving a message to the process of them that look, you
are one of those messages, you also have these three qualities, okay, so you're no different to
them. And one of the reasons I stated this is because one of the things that police would say is
that you're not a prophet.
		
00:53:34 --> 00:54:13
			If you're a prophet, prophets are different. And if you're a bidder, you want innovation. That's
what the word that they would use. You're different. You're not from the line of profits. You're
just making things up. So here lots of palaces affirms what all profits were like three traits. And
those three traits can be seen in the messengers or laws, as well, which clearly shows that he's one
of the prophets and he's not making things up. What are they? Well, now I will send and we have not
sent me carbonica before you, meaning our messenger before you illegible. And number one, except men
knew he lay him that we
		
00:54:14 --> 00:54:19
			did washy to them that we gave revelation to them. Mim Cora,
		
00:54:20 --> 00:54:59
			from Cora from the people of Cora is the proof of area, area means city basically, city as opposed
to the desert as opposed to the Bedouin life. So those are three traits each and every messenger has
always had, number one, they have been men as opposed to women. Okay, and this is the position of
Maha saloon. jumada. Allah never sent any prophet tests. There are no female prophets ever before.
There is true that some like the husband, I believe, has said that Mario is was a prophet of Allah
or prophet s rather
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:20
			But that is something strange, not something I've said before. Rather The case is that Allah is only
given prophecy to men and not to women. And as even as you said this for a very good set of wisdoms,
there's a lot of wisdom behind that. But regardless about the wisdom, we don't want to even get into
that. The fact is unnecessary. Men that they will all men.
		
00:55:22 --> 00:56:05
			One of the reason why the confusion occurs is because Allah inspires the mother of muscle. Islam
inspires me to do certain things there is verses that show Allah as communicating to these women. So
then the question arises, well, if Allah communicated to them, doesn't that make them prophets? No,
there is a difference between washi and in ham, what he is revelation. And alarm is may inspiration,
inspiration, the two different things revelation and received revelation makes you a prophet. As for
inspiration in harm, it doesn't make you into profit. So number one, they were all men, as opposed
to women. Number two, receive revelation. Okay, they receive Revelation, Revelation, additional
		
00:56:05 --> 00:56:32
			forms, dreams, okay? And the different varieties of direct revelation that they received as well.
Like our promises, and we said that the most difficult was when it came to me like the ringing of a
bell. mean, it was reverberating assigned to me and causing me a lot of a lot frustration, a lot of
agitation, very difficult for ministry sweating his bodies to become heavy physically. So that's
number two, that they were received revelation men who received Revelation, Revelation men,
		
00:56:33 --> 00:57:11
			from towns from the people of the town, as opposed to you from the Bedouins. Now, that's
interesting, because you're comparing basic people that live in villages to people that live in
cities. It is good and bad on both sides, right? But Bedouins who are Bedouins Well, what we know
from the life of the Priscilla Bedouins, the people that are simple minded, they're not, they don't
have the best Code of Conduct character, like the Hadeeth, in which the bedridden comes into the
mystery of the present sort of lifts up his garments and urinate in the corner of the masjid. And
then everyone wants to, you know, turn him off. And the President says, No, just get a bucket of
		
00:57:11 --> 00:57:18
			water and pour it over, and then explains to him about Islam and the fact that you can't do this in
the masjid. So people, they simple minded.
		
00:57:20 --> 00:57:53
			They don't have the best character, etc, etc. And that's understandable, because what is a bedwin? A
bedwin is someone who lives in the middle of nowhere by themselves, they don't have interaction with
society, and our interaction with other people. So when you don't have that interaction with every,
you know, people on a daily basis, you don't really not act with other people, you know, you're a
rough person. So is that a good thing? Well, not for profit, a profit needs to be of the best of
people, most civilized, educated, cultured type of person. So as the processor Was he a better way
nor was he from the city.
		
00:57:55 --> 00:58:04
			So city if the city of Makkah, here for the town of Makkah, so in all three grounds, he's exactly
the same as everybody else. Why then are you rejecting him?
		
00:58:05 --> 00:58:08
			Brothers in the back is happening, doughnuts got the better of you.
		
00:58:10 --> 00:58:56
			Well have mercy on you. So all three grounds, he is the same. He is a man received revelation and
from the town Flm your serum. Now Allah addressing those who should go on and all those lights of
Flm Yes, you do they not Yes, you fill out go around, travel around for young guru and see k for
care now. Tibetan levena mean covering see what the fate was of those people from the past, meaning
disbelievers what happened to them in the end? Like the nation of Sol, La ceram happened? What
happened to him? He was an Arab prophet. Okay, you know about him. You know about the mood and you
know about the ruins of the mood. You can see that on your travels.
		
00:58:58 --> 00:59:01
			Do you reflect over that I was wrong and you Flm
		
00:59:03 --> 00:59:44
			now Flm is a question of in car. It's a type of questioning where lies showing his contempt and
anger. Why don't you do this one thing go around and see the fate of those people in our time, the
same thing. Example The pyramids in Egypt, I mean, that's a civilization that was last destroyed,
wiped out what happened? Why can Pompei and also in in Italy as well. Okay, there's different places
that you can go to that you see the ruins of old civilizations, like doesn't anything click in your
mind what happened to those people, all of a sudden they were destroyed, like, you know, in, in
Rome, and in Pompeii, those are places where you can see nations were destroyed because of a
		
00:59:44 --> 00:59:59
			natural, natural disaster. So all of those people wiped out. I mean, do you reflect over that? And
if you did reflect over that, you'd come to the conclusion. Those people rejected their messages.
And so they were destroyed by me.
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:42
			You're going to do the same thing. What's going to happen to you? Yeah, this is the message that's
being given reflect what Adele Hirata hyrulean, Latina taco and as for the Tao of the Akira, the
home for the abode of the life to come, it is far better. For those that have Taqwa have God
consciousness, may Allah make us from those people. So it's like Allah, first of all talking about
the qualities so silly. Don't look at the fate of other people and set themselves up. As for you
believers, is a tough time, people rejecting you, life as a as a Muslim has become very difficult.
Focus on the life to come. Here focus on the lifetime is going to be much better than this life. So
		
01:00:42 --> 01:01:19
			much joy to have, okay, focus your mind on the hereafter. That is the time when you will enjoy
yourself. This is a time of testing tribulation. On the flip side, while other the hyrulean Latina
taco is sending an implicit message to the disbelievers that in this life. You might be injuring
yourself, but just like it's going to be much better for the believers is going to be much worse for
you for worse than you could ever imagine. So there's like a double message being given flr
giacalone do you not then understand? Will you not use your intellect to understand this?
		
01:01:21 --> 01:01:26
			Okay, now this is the second last verse, this this verse okay.
		
01:01:27 --> 01:02:17
			can be a bit problematic to understand properly. What is this verse had the either stay as a rustle
up until the messengers gave up hope up until the messengers gave up hope. What does that mean?
Well, Allah, Allah is saying, look, messengers came to all these people. And those people rejected
them. And they continue to reject and belie them up until this happened. What happened? Well, the
messengers lost hope. So they begin with our familiars nucleus Now 950 has given them one after the
other 50 years How can you reach a certain point in your life where this happens? Where you begin to
lose hope lose hope in who though this is where the controversy is in Allah like Allah, I'm losing
		
01:02:17 --> 01:02:24
			hope in Allah the victory is not going to come that you know Islam is not going to be dominant or
losing hoping that people accepting Islam
		
01:02:26 --> 01:03:08
			both opinions are they're both gypsies are there let's go through it though. According to the first
opinion, had the the status of Jerusalem up until this point was reached were the messengers began
to lose hope in their people. Okay, what one knew and the messengers came to realization one here
means to no unknown that they people could could the Boo could do that they people have totally
rejected them. Yeah. And that point where they reached that point, internally, they kind of lost
hope they gave up this evening, I'm gonna listen anymore. We come to the end of the line. Yeah,
they're never going to change. It's come to that level. When it got to that stage that Allah says,
		
01:03:09 --> 01:04:01
			whom natrona then our Nussle came down here or came rather our numbers are eight in particular
meaning, the destruction of those people and their, you know, punishment. It came at that stage not
before know, Allah made the messengers the best of people reach that point of despair, before he
then sent down his eight, okay, at that point john asuna, aka GM inertia and then new GM is to save
Manisha whoever we wish. Look at the verse. Very interesting point here we should make he said,
Look, Allah said, Look, Jia, we saved in the past, men Nasha whoever not we willed, but who we will,
		
01:04:02 --> 01:04:13
			in the present tense. So he said, and then we saved whoever we will, together as a combination of
past present, past tense, and present tense.
		
01:04:14 --> 01:04:37
			A lot could have said for no Jia men sharp, and we save whoever we willed. It makes more sense. Now
we're talking about the past year, profits came. They gave our long time people rejected them. They
lost open them, a lot of help came down, they were destroyed. And Allah and Allah saved whoever He
willed from the no law said and he saved whoever he wills
		
01:04:39 --> 01:04:46
			that broadens the meaning to encompass the future as well as the past to say that this would happen
all over again.
		
01:04:48 --> 01:04:59
			you reject disbelief punishment will come when it comes like it came to the people before they'll
get destroyed and I'll save a few people mean the believers. I did it then Manisha or do whatever
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:00
			I will
		
01:05:01 --> 01:05:16
			do whatever I was combination between past and present tense. So, the other view now, the other view
is have that either state as a result when the messengers began to give up hope. Well, one knew and
they
		
01:05:17 --> 01:05:43
			assumed, and whom coviu that they have been denied? They have been denied. What does that mean they
have been denied me is that they gave up hope and thought that Allah had denied them. His help.
Allah denied them his help seem problematic to say that it doesn't. What do we learn from Jacobo
Islam?
		
01:05:44 --> 01:05:56
			What type of person gives up hope in the role of Allah? He locomole caffeine, the only people are
given hope in Allah, the people that disbelieve in him. So now you're saying that the Prophet gave
up hope in a lot?
		
01:05:58 --> 01:06:04
			Well, number of things. First of all, the word is a status and not yet
		
01:06:06 --> 01:06:08
			any one of the differences between the status and your Isa.
		
01:06:15 --> 01:06:23
			Okay, very good. One is to lose complete hope. And the other one is to almost lose complete hope.
Which one is which?
		
01:06:26 --> 01:06:27
			He says,
		
01:06:28 --> 01:06:46
			Yes, yeah, he sent me to lose complete or did Allah say that the prophets ye Isa, what did Allah say
is the answer, that is the answer. And this is a shout out. to him. Allah mentioned, he said, the
different real estate as an ISA is de si is to basically push yourself to the verge of losing
complete hope.
		
01:06:48 --> 01:07:23
			You almost lose hope. So the messengers almost lost hope that Allah would not send down his aid and
support. And you have to kind of really appreciate that. Allah is saying that messengers were driven
to that point that they started to think, maybe allow will not send is paid to us, that reflects on
the difficulty that they went through, or reflects on the hardship that they went through that it
was that difficult that the best of the best started to have these thoughts come into their mind.
		
01:07:24 --> 01:07:40
			And that brings us on to the question like, why would Allah subhanho wa Taala bring messages to this
point and not a messenger Rasul all messages. And this is the way I did everything with all of the
same thing. So slowly comes to his people, he does our
		
01:07:41 --> 01:08:12
			few people listen to him, except this now most of them reject he keeps on trying and trying and
trying and trying and they just get worse and worse and worse. I think is what happens over time is
the following messenger comes. Worship Allah, leave all of this rubbish to one side alone will
forgive you allow will grant you agenda. They don't listen, listen, if you reject this, there's
going to be punishment. Punishment might come now might come later on, bad things gonna happen to
you. Time goes past, nothing happens. What happens to the people, they start saying?
		
01:08:13 --> 01:08:51
			Where is it? Where's the punishment that you said it's gonna come? Isn't it? Where is it? He said,
the Alaska destroys, go on then show us then they start to think or maybe the message was wrong all
along, isn't it that's what happens all the time. So the frustration and the test becomes worse over
time becomes more difficult to handle. And to Allah says they reach the point where they almost lose
hope. And then Allah sends his his support. So the question arises, why would a large law awaited up
until the point that the missus is about to reach breaking point to send his aid at that point?
		
01:08:52 --> 01:08:53
			fair question.
		
01:08:54 --> 01:08:56
			Yeah, could have said it before right? Yep.
		
01:09:06 --> 01:09:32
			Okay, yeah, that's one reason that allowance to raise them in terms of ranks and they reward by
putting them through more and more and more. Very good. Any other reason specifically because the
prophet SAW test and tribulations affect all of us and one of the wisdom behind them is, Allah wants
the best for us in terms of our rewards, more tests, more tribulation, more chance to prove yourself
more Richard rewards very good. Anything else?
		
01:09:35 --> 01:09:40
			No one's tested harder than profits. True But why? Because we're asking the question why? Yep.
		
01:09:42 --> 01:09:46
			Masha Allah, Allah say Mashallah.
		
01:09:48 --> 01:09:59
			They are our role models. If they are role models, we need to be able to say they went through worse
than us and look at the way they behaved, isn't it? That's a true role models.
		
01:10:00 --> 01:10:23
			To someone who is not going through what you're going through is like it kind of easier. not as
difficult as me my situation far worse. And so when I look at ya COVID Islam, he's eyes when white
from grief. Like, that's another level of sadness and sorrow. No one can ever say, you know, I'm
going through that as well. No, because you can say a portion of that you can't say look my is not
		
01:10:25 --> 01:10:45
			highlighted that one thing that no one can say this happened to me. That's why jacobellis is such a
phenomenal role model for people going through depression and anxiety, isn't it? Look what he went
through. He lost son kidnapped for 40 years, I don't know where he is. And then a second son, but
still Southern Jamil. He's a role model.
		
01:10:46 --> 01:11:05
			So this is a sad This is a shout out Ramallah mentioned this, that because they examples, Allah
brings them to the brink, here to the extreme. So they become proper examples. So everyone, look why
they went through the worst case scenario, and they exhibited the best behavior. True robot is very
good.
		
01:11:07 --> 01:11:21
			Now there's one Hadith, which you should know about, which is about the controversy of prophets
losing hope in Allah that He would send the send his aid, how can that be prophets of Allah? One
thing is obviously his status. That doesn't mean to lose hope means to almost lose hope.
		
01:11:22 --> 01:11:22
			But
		
01:11:24 --> 01:11:29
			I shall do louder on her and say, Hey, Buhari, didn't say Buhari, she actually.
		
01:11:31 --> 01:11:32
			She,
		
01:11:34 --> 01:12:16
			she actually rejected the recitation could the Boo. You know, what you can see here cuz he said,
This isn't the way that it should be read. Rather, it should be read the book with a shutdown it
could do. Why? Well, because she said, because the blue means that the prophets realized that the
people okay, the people have could we boo, have rejected them? And they've lost hope in them now.
Yeah. Could we boo reflects that meaning? As for cool, the blue what we have here? A reflects of the
meeting? And she says, the law. Interesting. I said, My other luxuries? Isn't law, the law
		
01:12:17 --> 01:12:55
			doesn't mean that. And she said, How can they think like that about the rub? Yeah. And this is the
opinion of eyeshadow Donna, that the researcher should be? Okay, well, one could the Boo Jo, no
sooner. However, other competitors read him nabasa de la Noma. disagree. No, the other recitation is
there. So the way we understand the other recitation, which is that they believe that they had been
denied the help of Allah is in one of two ways. Either, it doesn't mean they lost complete Hope it
means they were almost about to lose. So secondly, and more importantly,
		
01:12:56 --> 01:13:39
			feeling that you have been denied the help of Allah is not the same as saying the help of a lower
income isn't the difference? The difference is, it may come it will come. Maybe not for me, maybe
for someone after me, isn't it? So there's a difference here, there's a different thing that our
law, maybe the Help is not going to come? Why in my life, maybe it'll come after my life. So this is
the point that I've reached now. But I think that it's not gonna happen in my life. So this is
another way to understand it. While you're at do better sooner, COVID moody mean, and then Allah
says, and our violent force, but as is like the wounds that you get afflicted with in war, bruises,
		
01:13:40 --> 01:14:27
			wounds, cuts, you know, that is bats, Salah says that those wounds are going to touch the
disbelievers later on, they will not be able to avert themselves from it. Who are those who come in
which remain people that are Muslim criminals guilty, guilty for doing many, many wrong things in
their life. Okay. That brings us to the last verse in this surah after declaring that most people
reject the message that we should continue to give the message despite that, and the fate of the
people that do reject the message a lot and concludes this epic story by saying locker there can be
puzzles that he may able to legally involve and indeed, for sure, in they are stories in their
		
01:14:27 --> 01:14:36
			stories. Allah didn't say in his story. Allah said in their stories, there is an algebra algebra
means less than
		
01:14:37 --> 01:14:50
			m is less than or a moral is more than ever a constant, which means to cross from one from one place
to another. So now I should say is that what am I saying is that if you read the story, there's so
many like,
		
01:14:51 --> 01:14:59
			you know, there's so many details that if you reflect over them, you go from one place and then you
can reach another place where you find a gym like this.
		
01:15:00 --> 01:15:25
			Use of the temptation of emeralds, Aziz. So she tried to tempt him and look at the situation. He was
a slave to her and her palette. She locked all the doors. And this means that it's very difficult
for him to get out of that. But look how he reacted. He believed that he was, you know, unable to do
it himself. He needed Allah's help, which shows us that we should never think is never going to
happen to me, it happened to him.
		
01:15:27 --> 01:15:43
			So you're going from the story, and you're going to another place which is the lesson here this is
the root meaning our board and Hilbre another meaning of ebara is the root of l bar which means to
tear shed tears. So law saying indeed these stories they are things which will move you to tears.
		
01:15:44 --> 01:16:04
			Every little Alba but not for every person, person that has an Bub people have album people have
loved a low been someone who has a sound innocent intellect, meaning he's reading the story
sincerely. He's not reading the story. preconceived ideas trying to find false No, he's got a blank
canvas he's really wants to know what a lie is saying.
		
01:16:05 --> 01:16:51
			This part of the verse actually ties with verse number three, where Allah says National Novel SWALEC
passes as they are last in the beginning of the story, we're gonna relate the story, what story is
and of course the best stories. Remember, we had that discussion with Evan Taylor says meaning here
isn't that the best story is the story of use for Islam. Rather, it means the best stories in the
Quran and the same way Allah ends by saying and in those stories that I've just related one of them
to you there is an algebra a moving lesson many lessons leoline Alba for those people who have a
sound intellect, maca and Heidi thank you for all and this Hadees this narration is not used or it's
		
01:16:51 --> 01:16:57
			not made up you know made up fairy tale is not it's a real life story you like sometimes you
		
01:16:58 --> 01:17:12
			you don't watch films, but some of you may have watched a film once upon a time, but they say this
is based on a real life story. Remember that? The expose exposing a lady there is long time ago they
may towba
		
01:17:15 --> 01:17:18
			Oh, yes, yes, that's right. Yes. documentaries.
		
01:17:20 --> 01:17:21
			documentaries,
		
01:17:22 --> 01:17:30
			documentaries. They say at the end this was based on a real life story. Why did they say that? That
when you read this is based on real life story would you starting in
		
01:17:33 --> 01:17:53
			very good makes you feel like you know all this really happened? Seriously. It's not made up none I
actually happened. And I think holla about a real life story is that a person can tell that this is
real is not made up. Have you ever got that feeling like someone telling you a story?
		
01:17:54 --> 01:18:00
			economy This is like oh my God, this actually happened I can tell this was made up.
		
01:18:01 --> 01:18:13
			He wants to learn is the one shaved off the story. amazing story. So there was a man traveling from
Riyadh Okay, Sam Riyadh all the way to McAllister about nine hours journey right?
		
01:18:14 --> 01:18:52
			with his family in his car, going back many, many years, many years before mobile phones in fact,
okay. He's traveling to Riyadh from Riyadh to I think your gender omaka many male journey car breaks
down with his family. Now he's outside of the car. He's trying to fix the car up in the motorways
not happening. Another man drives past just himself. He sees what's going on. He gets out the car.
And he says Let me help you. The man says this is the problem with the car is not working. They're
trying to fix it doesn't fix he goes look, take my car and go. I'm going there as well. You take
your family or have my family with me of the Olympics. You cannot come there. Because none of this
		
01:18:52 --> 01:19:01
			is too much. I can't accept this. Because no, no go. I'm coming the result you with your family. You
go. Okay, Tim, aka giving the keys he goes.
		
01:19:02 --> 01:19:41
			They are amazed like this man. He just gave us his car like that. So when they reach the
destination, then the man comes there a couple days afterwards. And he took the phone number. You
know, the landline, he phones and it gives him the keys back to his car and he stops recording and
they say look, we're really indebted to you. And they said they were they were shocked. Like this
man actually did this. He came back. We have to repay. So when they go back home, and that man's
come back as though they found him back. Okay. And the man found him and the wife picks up the other
man. And he goes where is Poland? Poland? He goes, she starts crying. Because Why are you calling
		
01:19:41 --> 01:19:59
			about him for you? Haven't you asked enough questions and you know why you keep asking why? And he
goes, ooh, I just found to invite him to ask you want to save for everything. So he goes, Yeah, he's
in prison now. Because she called he goes in prison. She goes he's in prison. He goes what prison?
She goes isn't
		
01:20:00 --> 01:20:02
			prison, he goes and visits the prison
		
01:20:03 --> 01:20:26
			and the warden of the prison. He has a conversation with him. And he goes, Look, I know this man is
here. I want to see why is he here? He goes, he's here because he's heavily indebted, and he was
able to pay his debts on time. So he's brought into the prison. He goes, if that's the case, take
this 10,000 reals and pay off his debt and free him. And don't tell him who gave the money.
		
01:20:27 --> 01:20:55
			Two weeks, they are that man who gave the money phones again, thinking that the man is going to be
home now. He phones the wife picks up again, he goes away, so and so she goes, why you keep calling
for you know, get your money from somewhere else. And he goes on arm, that man who came and I went
to visit him and she said, he's still in prison. He goes back to prison. And he speaks to the same
board and and the woman goes is Oh, my God, you came back. I'm so happy that you came back. Here's
your 10,000 pounds 10,000 years goes, do you mean?
		
01:20:57 --> 01:21:22
			He goes well, the thing is, I'm not who to be more amazed by amazed by you who gave him 10,000 reels
and didn't want me to tell him or the prisoner. He goes, he goes the prisoner said 10,000 reels will
only take a small chunk out of my debt. Why don't you take this 10 tons of reels and free all of
those prisoners who have smaller debts.
		
01:21:23 --> 01:21:26
			The man was so shocked. He said,
		
01:21:27 --> 01:21:36
			I take an oath by Allah that in the next year, I'm going to collect how much is he said about 60 or
70,000 yards. I'm going to collect it
		
01:21:37 --> 01:21:53
			and do what he said. So he keeps 100,000 freeze all of those prisoners, and the other man is to left
and he takes a mission in his life to raise up all that money, he raised up all of that money, and
then brings it to the warden. And eventually that man is free.
		
01:21:54 --> 01:22:36
			Now, it's unimaginable that someone who has such great character and and there's so many benefits to
that story, but the fact is that that's true economic that's the real. No one could ever think of
something like that, isn't it? It's a true story. And this is what a larger law is telling us a
story of use of Islam. any sensible person who hears it knows it's not a hadith that is used or made
up. Real life story. You can make up stories other you know, national posts, we are the ones that
storyteller these Well, I can tell us the color the bane ad, except that they confirm and affirm
that which was before meaning in the previous scriptures like the Taurat and the nd when it came
		
01:22:36 --> 01:23:16
			down. They had similar stories. And this caught on after they became contaminated and mixed up now
is coming to confirm those things, but in better detail. What does sealer coalition it makes the
seal of everything, everything it means it makes an explanation of everything. Does the Quran
explain everything? Now, he explains every single thing of significance, okay? And the way it does
that either tells us the details of realities of things, or it gives us the principles by which we
can uncover the knowledge of things. Okay, so in that way, the field and the field doesn't just mean
to explain it means to foster means that two things are joined together and then you take them apart
		
01:23:16 --> 01:24:03
			separate, so it's clear what is what. So the Quran has this power to make things clear. One of the
things that makes very clear is a line between a man and Kufa. This is a man this is Cooper. And if
you look at the stories, and the characters useless, long story, you see very clear, good characters
and bad characters. Like every disease and useful Islam. Temptation affected both of them. Okay, but
who reacted good. Well, that's clear, useful Islam. And it isn't just react good directed in the
best possible way. immortalises didn't react badly. she reacted in the worst possible way. Isn't it
the worst way you could be? He's running away. And she's running after.
		
01:24:04 --> 01:24:46
			He's denying it. And she is saying that he did. Okay, so it's like total opposites. Don't steal a
cliche makes crystal clear. Everything, meaning everything of significance, and it is a Huda. It is
a guide. It is a guide in so many ways. It is a guide to spiritually like it teaches us spiritually,
how to be guided and be close to Allah subhanaw taala also physically so like to do the right thing,
physically, like in a story is how we'll get the Seven Sleepers in the cave, young people. And last
part on I said about them not innopolis so Alec will help in 52 and we'll be robbing him was eaten
home.
		
01:24:48 --> 01:24:51
			Huda Allah said about those young men
		
01:24:53 --> 01:24:59
			that they were indeed young men like teenagers, but they believed in their own
		
01:25:01 --> 01:25:22
			What did Allah do? Because of their belief, despite the young age zudena, whom we increased them in
houda guidance, what are the ways of increasing guidance is not just internally, but physically like
he told them and guided them to find the right cave and wish they could sleep for 309 years without
being found out.
		
01:25:23 --> 01:26:03
			There's only like maybe one cave in the hole, all those mountains that would be the right cave.
Allah guided them to that Pacific cave. Okay, so physically as well as spiritually, and the Quran is
not just a holiday it is. It is a mercy, compassion. We learn about compassion through useful Islam.
Right? Well, he was so compassionate to his brothers that the three barley Coolio done so much bad
to me. But you know, it's time to show mercy to you because you reformed people now. So it teaches
us how to have mercy. And this the Quran itself is a mercy to us because through the Quran, we learn
how to find our way into gender. Okay, so saraha in so many ways, for who we call me, you me known
		
01:26:03 --> 01:26:07
			for those nation for the nation that believes that has a man.
		
01:26:08 --> 01:26:48
			So with that, we come to the end of the period of use of us very solemn stories. So to do stuff, we
asked the last panel to accept the efforts and I asked a lot to make us from an on those people that
study the Quran, live by the Quran and teach the Quran mineral but I mean, they also like to thank
the brothers and sisters here in Holloway, Massoud Surat initiative for supporting the discourse to
provide the resources to film to make the whole experience the way that it was, like separate from
us all Armenia Brahmin, Subhana Coloma habitica, Chateau La La Land to music
