AI: Summary ©

The Bible's teachings were not meant to be about individual behavior, but rather about the intersection of experiences and learning from them. The importance of learning from experiences and not just feeling it is enough to gain knowledge is emphasized. The importance of trusting in a law and taking provisions for the journey is also discussed, as well as the use of words like "will" and "will" to describe the presence of water in the sea. The importance of humility and standing for the Prophet Muhammad is emphasized, as well as the historical significance of blackmail and backbiting in Islam. The segment also touches on the idea of "backbiting," where someone tries to grab information from someone and tries to convince them to do something, but it is unclear what that means.

			hamdulillah hearable alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah Karim. Allah Allah was Hobie woman
is standing in Nigeria on the deen. All praise is due to Allah and Milan's Peace and blessings
beyond his last prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and all those who follow the path of
righteousness until the last day.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:31
			In our previous session, we concluded the
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			second
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:43
			major set of topics from Surah Al calf. The first was that of
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:55
			the people of the cave themselves, the youths who ended up fleeing to the cave to protect their
religion and the miracles that happened with that. The second set
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:01
			focuses on the parable of the rich and the poor,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			and their relationship with the loss of hunter with Allah.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:30
			And also, contained in that second section is the refusal of a police to bow to a law reality of a
police his relationship with humans, past, present, and future, situation in Paradise and *, etc,
discussed.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:50
			Now, the third section is that of the story of Prophet Musa and credit, who may also be called
prophet together. As some scholars, a number of scholars do hold him to be have been a profit.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:02:01
			And the fourth section deals basically with little coordination that is the focus of the fourth
section.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			So beginning with the story of Moosa and Heather,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:23
			and the proper pronunciation of Heather's name, though we all know him as could. And in some
countries, it's mispronounced as his phizzer. and a variety of other things. It is actually harder.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:35
			Harder, not harder, but harder. It is the correct pronunciation of the name of the teacher of
Prophet Musa.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:48
			that begins with the 16th verse was Allah Moosa Lee Fatah who la Abra hot lava magma, Alba harini
dia hakoda.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:03:04
			Remember when Moses said to his boy servant, I will not give up traveling until I reach the junction
of the two seas, or until I have spent a long time traveling.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:16
			So this begins a series of 23 verses, in which the story of Musa and his teacher are elucidated.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			Boys Karla Musa and the photo
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:43
			the conversation between Prophet Moses and his servant mentioned in this verse, remember when Moses
said to his boy servant, was preceded by an incident in the time of Prophet Moses, which was left up
to Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam to explain to his followers
		
00:03:44 --> 00:04:03
			and this is in keeping with the general principle regarding the Quran, which is expressed in Surah,
number 16, chapter, verse 44, one zelner a lake and zakra need to be in La nassima new de la la him,
Well, Allah whom
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:33
			I have revealed to you, Mohamed, the reminder, in order that you may explain clearly to people, what
is sent down to them, and that they may reflect the Koran was sent down for humankind, but it was
sent down to Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam. to elucidate its meanings to expand and to
clarify for people
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:42
			the implications of it versus and the practical application of its instructions.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			Because an instruction manual
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			if you're dealing with a very complex
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			set of instruments or whatever, without somebody going over it with you, you know, you can
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:08
			Mangle and Bumble And Allah knows what you end up with. So, this is in keeping with the general
principle that
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			the Quran
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			to be properly understood,
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:47
			has to involve the explanation given by prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Allah subhanho
wa Taala left it up to him to give us the background and to clarify the certain details of the
story, which are left as precise points, the most important points left in the Quran, but the some
of the details and useful detail has been left to prognosis lm to clarify.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			And even that clarification,
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			which was given by Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam,
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:09
			when we look in the books of Hadith about it, and it's found in Bukhari and Muslim a number of
narrations there, in a number of the volumes is also found in autonomy, the
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			other books of Hadith,
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:23
			we find that there was a particular occasion when this story was narrated.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:32
			And it was when a Tabby a meaning a student of the Sahaba by the name of Saeed bin jubair.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			He went to even above us
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:52
			and informed him that an individual a scholar in Damascus was a judge and had a good bit of
knowledge. His name was no fibbin be Kelly.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:07:03
			He claimed that the Moses which is who is mentioned in the Quran, as the companion of Hodder
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:12
			was not the Moses from the Israelites was not the Israelite Moses but somebody else.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:13
			Right.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:21
			Now, if you take the text of the Quran, as it is, somebody could make that claim.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:35
			And in fact, this individual did, and he was a scholar. However, when this was told to Eben Abbas,
and we know all know who had been Abbas's, who was it not bad.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			Now relative to the Koran,
		
00:07:45 --> 00:08:06
			he was considered to be the most authoritative interpreter of the Quran, among the companions of the
Prophet sallallahu wasallam, right. He was young, quite young. But Allah blessed him with a deep
understanding Prophet Mohammed Salah made a special application for him.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:25
			Anyway, society, bin jubair he took this statement of nofx Lb Kelly, to have been abuzz. And the
first thing if not bias did was to confirm whether side actually heard this statement from nofx.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:43
			Because he came and said Nuff said. But you know, we all say these things don't so and so said, but
did you actually hear it from so and so that he said that, before he was going to deal with the
issue, he wanted to be certain that no faction he said it.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:50
			So when Sidon jubair, affirm that yes, in fact, it was a statement of now.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54
			Even a bias,
		
00:08:55 --> 00:09:02
			reaction reacted angrily and he said, allies enemy has told a lie.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			Allies enemy has told a lie.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:14
			Now, scholars looking at this statement. I've explained that one.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:29
			Though he used the term allies enemy it was out of a strong reaction not literally meaning that he
was an enemy of a law because the man was known to be a righteous scholar, etc, etc. But it was a
serious statement.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:39
			Very serious statement, because it was in contradiction to narrations from Prophet Muhammad
Sallallahu wasallam himself.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:45
			So he said a lot his enemy has told a lie.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:49
			They did not bias
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:59
			went on to relate to Syed what he heard from obey Ben Cobb, obey even Cobb is one of the older
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			Scholars among the companions of the Prophet sallallahu sallam.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:13
			And he quoted the Prophet Mohammed Salim as explaining the incidence behind this verse.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			So the prophet SAW his alum said,
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:24
			once Allah is messenger, Moses starts off like this once allows messenger, Moses
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:43
			preached to the Israelites, until their eyes were filled with tears, and their hearts became tender.
So that statement ended the doubt which was raised by now that this wasn't Moses of the Israelites,
but some other Moses, end of story,
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:53
			that he brought the proof, because when he was going to make this statement is going to bring proof
that this was in fact, incorrect. not correct at all.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:11:03
			When he finished the sermon, someone came up to him and asked him, is there anyone on earth? Who is
more learned than you?
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:14
			Is there anyone on earth who is more learned than you? They were just amazed? You know, with what
Prophet Musa just given them this
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:22
			really heavy sermon, very deep touch them so much. So they, somebody asked him that.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			So he said, No.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:41
			So Allah admonished him for ascribing all knowledge to himself as explaining this, so Allah
admonished him for not ascribing all knowledge
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			to himself meaning to Allah.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:50
			Instead of saying, as he should have said, Allah knows best.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:12:06
			He was a prophet of Allah, Allah has blessed him with knowledge spoken to him directly, so many
other factors, you know, and he didn't know of anybody who is more knowledgeable than himself. And
he said, based on his own knowledge, but
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:23
			proper etiquette in this manner, in this regard would be is to say, Allah knows best and he was a
human being. So he made a minor error here. So Allah decided now to teach him a lesson, there was
lessons to learn here.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:26
			So he said to him,
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:36
			he revealed to him spoke to him. at the junction of the two seas, there is a servant of mine,
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			who is more learned than you.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:49
			Moses asked, oh, my Lord, where is he? And the law said, at the junction of the two seas,
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:58
			Moses asked, oh, my Lord, telling me a sign by which I will be able to recognize the place.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:04
			A law said, put a dead fish in a large basket.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			And the place
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:13
			where he will be is where it comes alive, and you lose it.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			Put a dead fish in a large basket.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			And the place
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:29
			where it comes alive, and you lose it, this is where he will be.
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:48
			So Moses put a dead fish in the basket and gave it to his boy servant and told him, I don't want to
trouble you. Except to inform me as soon as you lose this fish.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:14:08
			Okay, if I told him what you're gonna lose, it means it's gonna happen. Right? So he told him, and
of course the servant is taking this and, you know, he feels he's gonna try to look after this is
not really a big deal, just a fish in a basket, you know? So he replied, You have not demanded too
much. Simple. I mean, I'll take care of this fish here.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:21
			So Moses sets out to this boy servant. And his name is mentioned in narration founded Sohail
Bukhari, as you shall have been known.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			In English,
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:32
			translation of Hebrew names, it's Joshua is known as Joshua.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:57
			And this is the point at which Prophet Moses tells his servant labra, who had Tableau Varma Jamal
Bahraini Oh am Dr. hakuba I will not give up traveling until I reach the junction of the two seas or
until I have spent a long time traveling.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			And that's where the verse begins.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			That was the background.
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05
			awkward to be
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:12
			the Spanish scholar, commentator on the Koran, legal scholar.
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			He says,
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:25
			I identified some points to be extracted of benefit from this first verse.
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:38
			First he mentioned that this incident exemplifies the wisdom of scholarly travels in order to
increase one's knowledge.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:41
			A person is knowledgeable.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:16:01
			But at the same time, he or she is encouraged, under the right circumstances, to seek further
knowledge, not to just feel that what I have is enough and you know, that's it, but one should make
an effort to gain further knowledge.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:12
			Also, it includes the idea of not going on your own. take somebody with you, a servant, a companion,
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:17
			because a person traveling on his own is fraught with dangers.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:31
			So the prophet SAW Solomon one narration it said, One who travels by himself is the devil, he
susceptible to the devil.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:47
			The verse also points to the importance of taking advantage of opportunities to meet noble souls,
and eminent scholars, even if their places of abode are very far away.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:17:15
			And this became a common practice among the early generations of righteous scholars. Imam Al
Bukhari. He mentioned that the companion Jabir ibn Abdullah traveled a month journey to obtain a
single Hadith single statement of Prophet Mohammed wa salam from Abdullah bin onis, another
Companion of the Prophet Salah who had settled a month journey away.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19
			Another point
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:40
			to be noted from this verse, is the laws reference to Moses, his servant as his youth. And although
I've translated it saying, remember when Moses said to his boy servant, Fatah actually means youth,
or young man
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:48
			that this terminology this use
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:55
			contains a good example for the proper etiquette in treatment of servants,
		
00:17:56 --> 00:18:05
			which the Sharia further affirmed, and the prophet SAW salams statement narrated by Abu huraira none
of you should say,
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			serve your Lord.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:18
			Rob back, though the term Rob can refer to an individual, it's not the preferable term, leave that
for a lot.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			Help your Lord make will do
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:29
			or give water to your Lord. Instead, say, My master, or my guardian.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			nor should you say,
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			my slave boy, or my slave girl.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:48
			instead say, my young man, my young woman, or my youth,
		
00:18:51 --> 00:19:02
			and this is part of the principles and concepts which clarify that what was known as slavery
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:09
			in the Muslim world, was quite different from slavery anyplace else.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:16
			Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam also said, Any man who has a slave girl
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:23
			teaches her good manners, frees her and marries her will get double the reward
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			will get double the reward.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:35
			And any slave who observes the laws right? And his masters right, we'll get double the reward.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:41
			In fact, there was a narration from a Buddha in which he said
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:48
			were it not for Jihad and taking care of my mother.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			I would have preferred to have died.
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			As a slave, I would have preferred to die
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			as a slave is Abu huraira the leading narrator
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			Have Hadith from Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:08
			Verse 61
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:19
			for lama bellava majima Abbe Nima nesea, who Tahoma Fatah de Sevilla, who Phil Bahari Saba.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:28
			And when they reach the junction of the two seas, they forgot their fish, and it tunneled its way
through the sea.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:21:04
			The Almighty went on to say, and when they reached the junction of the two seas, and the prophet
SAW, Selim went on to explain, when they reached a large boulder near beside the sea, they looked
around but found no one. Because Allah had said initially, that you would find him at the junction
of the two seas. But it further clarified that the way to know at which area where the junction of
the two seas are, you would take this fish with you and where you lost it, that's exactly where he's
going to be.
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:32
			So they looked around, they couldn't find anyone and as far as the junction of the two C's go, there
are different opinions which people have held concerning where those the junction is, some say it is
where the Red Sea joins together the two arms of the Red Sea, you have aka in the middle and you
have two arms of the Red Sea on either side. I say it's where those two meet.
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:45
			Some say that it is where the branches of denials meet in Hartlepool, the white Nile and the Blue
Nile where they meet two C's
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:53
			because the term C can refer to large bodies of water, whether rivers, large rivers or to oceans.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			And Arabic terminology.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:07
			I will say I mean, he mentioned that some felt that it was where the Mediterranean Sea met the Red
Sea.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			But I shall look at
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:25
			who Martin and scholar who did the commentary in the Quran known as a while by an he pointed out
that there is no evidence from the Quran and the Sunnah to identify the location.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:47
			And as such, any kind of research or efforts made to try to figure it out, it's wasted. Because
whatever you end up with you cannot be certain about because without clear statements, either from a
loss of Allah, or from Prophet Muhammad wa sallam, we really cannot say with certainty, this is the
location.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:57
			So, after Prophet Musa and his servant, Joshua, they looked around, they didn't see anybody.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:03
			Prophet Musa proceeded and left his servant behind at the rock.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:22
			And then the prophet SAW Selim explained that at the base of the rock, there was a spring, a
miraculous spring, called the spring of life. It was given that name because anything dead which
came in contact with its waters, came back to life.
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:35
			Prophet Moses returned and went to sleep on the rock, while his servant stood guard in the shade at
the base of the rock where the ground was wet.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:41
			And when the servant put the basket with the fish on the ground,
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:49
			the wind blew some water from the spring onto the dead fish, and it shivered with life.
		
00:23:50 --> 00:24:28
			For Takada sebelah who Phil Bahari sarada. The fishes Escape is described in the Quran, as it
tunneling its way through the sea. The prophet SAW Selim explained that the fish flipped out of the
basket wiggled its way down the shore and to the water's edge. As soon as it reached the water, it
swam off in a tunnel of water, which allowed cause to separate like an arc around the fish and
performs as lm curve this hands mentioned in narration to indicate, you know, what was act what it
looked like it was formed a tunnel the fish was going through the tunnel, there was obviously
something miraculous.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:36
			And the young man, the servant, watched in amazement and said to himself,
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:40
			I will not awaken him. Prophet Musa is sleeping, resting.
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:54
			But I should inform him when he awakens, told himself reminded himself anyway, he laid down also on
the rock, went to sleep, and forgot to inform Prophet Musa Prophet Moses when they woke.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			Nasir who Tahoma
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:08
			law said that they both forgot the fish, they forgot their fish. That's how it's expressed. Though
it was only the servant who actually forgot.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:16
			And this might be an issue for some people who say, well look, you know, here's a contradiction in
the Quran
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:27
			you know, the servant forgot, and the law says both of them did. So was it both of them or was it
just the servant again,
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:33
			this is a construction a particular type of construction
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:39
			in Arabic, which they call to they refer to a soft bar,
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:54
			where the subject of a verb has another subject which is close to it, which may not be participating
in the action, the verb but it is close in
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:59
			meaning or person physically or whatever.
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:17
			And so both are included in the description though it really is only work with revolving one. And
this is also used. In general it's also described as the construction in which you use
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:30
			you generalize using a group statement, when you mean only an individual and this is well known in
our most basic greeting Salaam Alaikum.
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:35
			Now if I say to you Salaam Alaikum.
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:47
			salaam aleikum means peace beyond you all on all of you. So actually, this addresses the everybody
in the room, but I only mean you alone.
		
00:26:49 --> 00:27:00
			Right? This is a construction which exists in Arabic. For a person not familiar with it. They might
say it's kind of weird. Why don't you say salam alayka which means peace beyond you alone, just you
alone.
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:40
			This possible also, but a preferable statement is Salaam Alaikum. And we can find it elsewhere in
the Quran. For example, in Surah, man verse 22 Well, it says there yahuda German Houma Lu l marjon.
out of them both come pearls and Carl. This is referring to to the both seas, this salty seas and
the fresh seas. And it's well known that pearls and coral only come from salty seas, the salt seas,
it's not from the freshwater seas.
		
00:27:42 --> 00:28:26
			But because these bodies are close ally uses the term CS referring to both of them, but he is really
only speaking of one of the two. Similarly, you can find in Surah Al and arm verse 130. Where law
says there Yeah, my shadow Genie will allow me to comb rasuluh mink comb, or assembly of jinn and
humankind did not come to you messages, messengers from among yourselves, though we know that all of
the messengers were sent were human beings, no messengers, meaning prophets to whom revelation came.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:32
			were sent from among the jinn. They're all humans.
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:36
			Verse 62,
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:48
			falam majha was jar was a colony Fatah who attina Hoda, Anna La Casa Latina amin suffering ah ha de
Nevada.
		
00:28:50 --> 00:29:03
			So when they had gone beyond that place, Moses said to his boy, servant, bring us our lunch. Indeed,
we have suffered much fatigue in this journey of ours.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:08
			The prophet SAW a solemn, went on to explain.
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:22
			They traveled the rest of the night. And the next day, Moses said to his servant, bring our food.
For indeed, this journey of ours has been very tiring for us.
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:32
			However, Moses did not feel fatigued until after he had passed the place, which Allaah had ordered
him to seek.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:43
			The journey which Prophet Moses mentioned was after they had stopped at the rock,
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:52
			that a short distance beyond that he started to feel fatigue. And obviously this was from Allah
Subhana Allah
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:55
			in order that he would not get
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			so far away that getting back again to where you needed to go was
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:09
			difficult, so a short distance beyond it, he started to feel fatigue, tired. And so he stopped.
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:22
			For la magia was a Cali Fatah who attina for the ANA. So when they had gone beyond that place, Moses
said to his boy, servant, bring us our lunch.
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:25
			What was the lunch?
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:32
			Yeah, this is what most people think that it was the fish.
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:44
			It wasn't the fish. Because the fish was to be put in the basket. As the prophet SAW, Selim said,
Allah had told him take a fish
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:50
			and put it in a large basket, and you will find him at the place where you lose the fish.
		
00:30:52 --> 00:31:01
			Right. So obviously, the fish was not for eating, it was going to be lost. And that would be the
signal to tell you where
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:10
			how there was. So that wasn't the lunch. The lunch was some other provision.
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:36
			knockout Latina is suffering ohada masaba. The Almighty statement Indeed, we have suffered much
fatigue in this journey of ours. Quoting Prophet Moses. This statement contains evidence that
informing others about one suffering and illness is permissible.
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:47
			And that it is that it does not contradict the principle of RDA that is being pleased with one's
destiny.
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:50
			Accepting
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:54
			one's destiny, Allah has destined this for you.
		
00:31:56 --> 00:32:03
			Is that contradicted? If you complain, you say, you say something about what you're suffering, etc.
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:17
			As long as it is not that complaint is not one based on anger, you know, you're upset whatever
distressed, then you're saying it then this does contradict the principle of
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:24
			acceptance and pleasure with the destiny of a lot
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:38
			of code to be identified an issue that may also be deduced from this verse. He said, carrying
provisions went on a journey.
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:46
			This principle is confirmed in this verse carrying provisions when one goes on a journey.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:33:13
			And he mentioned that this description or this principle in the verse refutes the ignorant mystics
Sophie's who embark on major journeys without permission provisions, claiming that true trusting in
a law is to do that you just set out on your journey, forget it, don't bring any thing with you, you
know, Allah is going to take care of just
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:28
			going out there. However, here is Moses prophet of Allah, to whom Allah spoke directly among the
people of the earth, taking provisions with him in spite of his knowledge of a law and his trust in
Him. This
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:32
			contradicts that claim.
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:44
			Also, some people from Yemen used to make Hajj without taking provisions with them saying, We are
those who only trust in God.
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:49
			And when they would arrive to Mecca, they would beg the people
		
00:33:51 --> 00:34:34
			right? So Allah revealed the verse and had you assured romelu Martin, from unfollow the fi hidden
Alhaji Falah Rafa Salah for Sukkot, Alhaji de la fille Hodge Amata illumine Hayden yalom, who law
What does Allah do? Hajj is the well is in the well known months. So whoever intends to perform Hajj
there in then he should not have sexual relations while in the state of Iran, nor commit sins nor
dispute unjustly during Hajj. And whatever good you do, Allah knows it, and take provisions for the
journey.
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:45
			So now reveal that verse and take provisions for the majority to cancel this mistaken understanding
of trust in a law.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:52
			There is another side of trust in a law
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:55
			about which the prophet SAW Selim said
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:59
			that whoever will not ask
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:01
			Anyone for anything
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:06
			I will guarantee him paradise.
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:26
			Whoever will not ask anyone for anything, I will guarantee him paradise him or her paradise. And he
gave the example even if you're on your horse and your crop falls, that you get off the horse, pick
it up yourself, get back on and do what you have to do.
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:30
			Don't ask anyone for anything.
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:43
			And that is a level of tawakkol or trusting in a lie in that sense, which very few are able to
attain.
		
00:35:46 --> 00:36:01
			Verse 63, Allah Allah it is a way in a in a Sahaba for in Nina cetol fruta mama and Sammy who
illustrate shaytaan and as Cora Taka Sabina who filmed Buhari algebra,
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:07
			he replied, do you remember when we took shelter at the rock?
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:11
			Most certainly I forgot the fish there.
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:19
			It was only Satan who caused me to forget to mention it. And it took an amazing path in the sea.
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:23
			So the prophets of Salaam went on to explain
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:31
			that his servants had said to him that when when they were at the rock when he was sleeping,
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:44
			what occurred would have taken place that he had made the intention to inform Prophet Musa. But
Satan had caused him to forget.
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:49
			And it tunneled its way into the sea.
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:58
			Now, he didn't remember until Prophet Musa asked him about food,
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:03
			as we said, which was other than the fish. So that was the key
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:14
			to remind him. Now, in this verse, we find him attributing forgetfulness to Satan,
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:24
			attributing forgetfulness to Satan. And you will find this mentioned in a number of places in the
Quran
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:28
			whether it is concerning
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:45
			drugs, gambling, idolatry, or Allah says that it is from the work of Satan. He describes drugs,
narcotics, alcohol, these things from the work of Satan,
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:49
			that it causes one to forget.
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:50
			Allah
		
00:37:53 --> 00:38:03
			creates emnity among them is forgetting a lot. This is where the danger of drugs lies, that a person
forgets
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:11
			God forget forgets the higher principles which they should live by.
		
00:38:13 --> 00:38:23
			And their moral sense is destroyed. And so they will do things they would never think to do when
they're sober.
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:31
			This is the greatest evil of the intoxicants. That's why they promised us and and said, it is omole
Hubba.
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:44
			intoxicants right Alhambra, Omaha bife. intoxicants are the mother of all corruption, and filth.
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:49
			It's the birthplace of corruption and filth.
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:53
			Also,
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:55
			we find
		
00:38:57 --> 00:39:00
			mention of forgetting forgetfulness,
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:07
			in the Quran, which is attributed to Satan because the fact that
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:16
			this is one of the means by which Satan is able to gain control over us
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:40
			by causing us to forget not necessarily literally entering into our brains and blocking the neurons
which are conveying the information but by distracting us with other things. And this is why Satan
is described as beautifying
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:47
			beautifying evil, and corruption. So people are attracted to it.
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:59
			So in that attraction, one loses and awareness and a consciousness of what is actually right or
wrong is become beautified.
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:01
			From the time of the garden
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:06
			where the beautiful garden of trees
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:18
			only had one forbidden tree, but Satan came and beautified that tree, to the point where Adam and
Eve felt they had to eat from this tree.
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:38
			And that is the same methodology, which he uses he and his cohorts, those who work with him on all
levels of society, whether amongst human beings or amongst the jinn is one of the basic tools of
Satan in misguiding people
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:42
			beautifying corruption
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:48
			profit, verse 64,
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:53
			called alikum akuna nibbly.
		
00:40:55 --> 00:41:02
			For a third da Allah rehema pasa, for Moses exclaimed, that's what we have been seeking.
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:07
			So they returned by retracing their footsteps.
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:12
			Moses said,
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:16
			told the servant
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:29
			that is what he was looking out for, you know, this is what he had asked him to remind him where he
lost the fish. So they retrace their footsteps and went back to the place
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:37
			were the funnel or the tunnel, in the water made by the fish was
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:43
			and that is where they met a hoarder.
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:53
			when Moosa and Moses metal How did he greeted him? Salam aleikum.
		
00:41:55 --> 00:41:55
			Aloha they're
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:01
			responded with the same greeting.
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:09
			And aloha they're asked Moosa about the land from which he came.
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:14
			And Moosa introduced himself to alhadeff.
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:24
			Moses then asks alhadeff, if he can follow him in order to learn what he has been taught.
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:27
			And this
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:33
			is a sign shows a sign of humility, on the part of Musa
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:38
			because the fact that he was himself a prophet,
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:41
			but here was somebody
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:46
			who was more knowledgeable than him. So he had no
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:48
			doubt or no,
		
00:42:50 --> 00:42:56
			on willingness to submit himself, and to learn from him.
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:00
			And this is very important,
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:06
			as a general principle, for those seeking knowledge, that one has to be humble
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:19
			with the one from whom one is seeking knowledge, if one goes, to seek knowledge from somebody who he
feels is better than he knows more than they can learn.
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:31
			And, of course, when we sit with others, we may know more than others in certain areas, but at least
in the area that we came to sit with them,
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:35
			we have to accept, if they are
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:53
			knowledgeable in that area moreso than ourselves, we have to recognize that, and that is not doesn't
put down, put us down in any way doesn't lower our status in any way. No, it is a part of humility,
which Islam holds at the premium.
		
00:43:54 --> 00:44:01
			As I send them said, Whoever lowers himself for the sake of Allah, Allah will raise him.
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:09
			whoever humbles himself for the sake of Allah, Allah will elevate him.
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:14
			And this is something which, you know, many of us lack.
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:43
			We feel that to humble ourselves, you know, as to put ourselves in a position of weakness, people
feel better than us and so on. So we're loaded over us. And so nobody wants anybody to load anything
over them. So they prefer to, you know, stand firm and, you know, speak with authority, and not
accept, you know, anybody as being on a higher level than themselves. But in fact, really, that only
harms us spiritually.
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:58
			Because when we look at the Prophet Muhammad SAW Selim in his own lifestyle, how he dealt with
people around him, how he dressed, how he lived. He was the epitome of humility.
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:03
			He was the epitome of humility.
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:24
			He lived such a simple life, that when emissaries came from different parts of Arabia, to see him
after Islam established itself in Medina overtook Mecca, and the region surrounding it Islam was,
you know, spreading rapidly. emissaries came to Medina to see him.
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:31
			And they would come into the masjid and see people sitting in the masjid. And then they would ask,
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:36
			Where is the Prophet? Whereas Prophet Mohammed,
		
00:45:37 --> 00:46:11
			so sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, because he was indistinguishable from his companions in terms of his
dress. I mean, they were expecting, here's a man who is now King ruler, like a king, he never took
the title of King. But he was, that's how they looked at me was the king, he was the ruler of
Arabia. So they're expecting to come in see him sitting on a big throne, you know, golden robes in
the crown. And that's what they're used to everywhere else they went, that's, you know, that's how
the rulers stood, they came in looking around,
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:21
			where is the throne, where's the gold, can't see it. And they would say, Oh, it's that one over
there, these light complexions sitting over there.
		
00:46:23 --> 00:46:24
			And they would come to him.
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:30
			And when he came amongst his companions,
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:43
			and they started to stand for him, some of them had traveled into other lands, to Persia, etc,
whether that was understood, when the ruler came amongst you, everybody stood up.
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:54
			So, when they tried to do that, for the Prophet, may God's peace and blessings be upon him. He said,
don't, don't stand for me.
		
00:46:55 --> 00:47:03
			whoever desires the people standing for them in this life will find themselves standing in the
Hellfire and the next.
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:08
			Standing is for our law.
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:14
			That's the first position of our prayer. We stand up for our law.
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:29
			So although it has become standard practice, from British colonialism, and others, around the Muslim
world today, when the teacher comes in the classroom, everybody stands up with the teacher, you
know.
		
00:47:31 --> 00:47:36
			So we're being taught this is, you know, we've been indoctrinated with this, actually, this is
incorrect.
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:53
			The prophet SAW Selim forbade it. And that is from his humility, of course, he would stand and greet
those who came, somebody comes from a journey to get up to greet them, hug them and so on. So this
is perfectly okay.
		
00:47:55 --> 00:47:58
			But it's that standing at attention, you know, people stand up, you know,
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:07
			you know what they're standing for, there's not up to greet you and standing in honor of so and so
and so on. So,
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:12
			so, the principle of humility
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:18
			is enshrined here and the story of Moosa and further
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:28
			of the time you heard that there was somebody more knowledgeable than him, he was ready to go
anywhere. To gain that knowledge.
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:36
			He accepted a laws rebuke his mistake, and sought to gain knowledge.
		
00:48:40 --> 00:48:41
			We'll stop here
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:47
			and continue with the story of Musa and Kadir and the next
		
00:48:49 --> 00:48:50
			session next week.
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:54
			And I should mention here that this story,
		
00:48:55 --> 00:49:04
			though, the vast majority of stories in the Quran can be found in Christian literature, Christian
and Jewish literature.
		
00:49:05 --> 00:49:08
			This story isn't found.
		
00:49:10 --> 00:49:12
			It's not mentioned in the Bible.
		
00:49:16 --> 00:49:19
			So in other words, it is unique to the Quran itself.
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:24
			Okay, we'll stop here for any questions you'd like to raise?
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:35
			Yes.
		
00:49:37 --> 00:49:40
			Yeah, Joshua mentioned
		
00:49:41 --> 00:49:49
			in the Old Testament, you know, fighting the battle of Jericho is that's what he was known for.
		
00:49:50 --> 00:49:52
			He was one of the prophets of Allah.
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:54
			Yes.
		
00:49:56 --> 00:49:59
			Also, you will find in in a number of the classical tough series
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:03
			When I heard his name is mentioned, they will also say la sala.
		
00:50:05 --> 00:50:06
			Peace beyond him,
		
00:50:07 --> 00:50:11
			which is normally what they said after the names of different prophets when they mentioned.
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:23
			Because I said many of the scholars held that he was in fact the Prophet was alive communicated to
him and he's teaching the prophets of Allah.
		
00:50:25 --> 00:50:30
			And the Prophet Prophet Mohammed Salim attributed to him a miracle
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:32
			where his name came from.
		
00:50:34 --> 00:50:41
			That on one occasion, he sat in a barren white land.
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:53
			And after sitting there some time, a law cause the land to turn green, with vegetation, lush
vegetation over the whole land.
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:55
			And
		
00:50:57 --> 00:50:58
			the word How did it comes from?
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:02
			Da da.
		
00:51:03 --> 00:51:21
			Da is one of the colors Arabic names for the colors, aka that is the color for green. That's why
it's typically, you know, in folklore, represented as the green one, you know, wearing a green
turban and green clothes and green shoes. But this is folklore.
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:31
			But that miracle, which happened at his hand, was the basis on which he was given the name al harder
		
00:51:34 --> 00:51:35
			for the question.
		
00:51:40 --> 00:51:42
			Well, again,
		
00:51:44 --> 00:51:47
			in relationship to alpha, and we'll go into it in more detail in next class.
		
00:51:49 --> 00:51:51
			Muslims, some Muslims
		
00:51:52 --> 00:52:06
			have given him the quality, or they have claimed that he is the equivalent of the biblical
melchisedec.
		
00:52:07 --> 00:52:09
			There is a figure known as the
		
00:52:11 --> 00:52:15
			prince of Salem, or the king of Salem,
		
00:52:17 --> 00:52:19
			referred to as melchisedec,
		
00:52:20 --> 00:52:25
			described as having no beginning of days or ending of days.
		
00:52:27 --> 00:52:32
			An eternal being, of course, Islamic liberal reject this.
		
00:52:34 --> 00:52:38
			Everything besides a law has a beginning and as an end,
		
00:52:39 --> 00:52:42
			God alone is without beginning and without end.
		
00:52:44 --> 00:52:45
			People have
		
00:52:46 --> 00:52:47
			applied the name
		
00:52:49 --> 00:53:00
			to melchisedec, this figure, and so they claim that he's alive amongst us, and He will remain alive
until the end of this world.
		
00:53:01 --> 00:53:27
			And in fact, many of the selfies actually if you look at the Sufi chains, where they they claim
special knowledge because what is as some branches of these mistakes Goofy's where they claim they
have certain unique knowledge handed down from their share, which was given to their shape, shape,
or form the shape, shape, shape, and so on. So, all the way back to Prophet Muhammad wa sallam,
when, when he was in the cave with aboubaker.
		
00:53:29 --> 00:53:38
			Right? When he was going to Medina, and he was in the cave with Abu Bakar, he revealed to abubaker
certain secret knowledge.
		
00:53:39 --> 00:53:43
			That secret knowledge was passed on, somebody is passed on to somebody,
		
00:53:44 --> 00:54:09
			you know, they'll use names which are well known, maybe a companion, you know, well known companion
and Sidney Malick, or whatever you know. And then they want to link that now with their line of
shifts. Of course, their shifts are known, they go back up, but then they can't find anybody to link
between their line of shifts, and the early companions and their students who are known.
		
00:54:10 --> 00:54:45
			Because if they put a name, they have to establish secret you can't fake chains of narration. You
cannot fake chains of narration, because the books of biographies of narrators have been established
1000 years ago almost written up details, who narrated from who narrated from whom people made notes
in their classes they know who are the narrators. So if so, and so claims that this Sufi shared
narrated got information, they check back to the books he was not among his students. It notes known
it's a lie.
		
00:54:47 --> 00:54:49
			So as I was saying,
		
00:54:50 --> 00:54:59
			in order to legitimize those who claim secret knowledge hidden knowledge, esoteric knowledge,
knowledge of the
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:07
			inter meanings of things where the rest of human beings rest of the Muslim Ummah only knows the
external meanings
		
00:55:09 --> 00:55:10
			they put together
		
00:55:11 --> 00:55:12
			in the chain.
		
00:55:14 --> 00:55:17
			So you'll find in their chains, and it's mentioned.
		
00:55:19 --> 00:55:19
			However,
		
00:55:21 --> 00:55:24
			there is a well known statement of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam.
		
00:55:27 --> 00:55:37
			in which he said that after 100 years, no one living on this earth will remain living.
		
00:55:38 --> 00:55:41
			He said 100 years from now,
		
00:55:42 --> 00:55:47
			no one living on the earth, now, will still be living.
		
00:55:53 --> 00:56:10
			They said, the prophet SAW Selim, it said, no one living on the earth now meaning in his time at
that particular point, towards the end of his life, he said, no one living on the earth now would
remain living after 100 years.
		
00:56:11 --> 00:56:18
			So, from that, if Hitler was around at that time, as they claim, then he would have died.
		
00:56:22 --> 00:56:23
			Any further question?
		
00:56:25 --> 00:56:29
			Okay. First question from the women's side, or
		
00:56:30 --> 00:56:33
			concerning slavery in Islam?
		
00:56:34 --> 00:56:45
			Sister questions What is so unique about slavery in Islam, when concubines? Or we may call common
law wives are permissible?
		
00:56:48 --> 00:57:00
			Well, because it is unique, it doesn't mean that every single feature of it is different from
slavery as is known.
		
00:57:02 --> 00:57:02
			Right?
		
00:57:04 --> 00:57:13
			Because it is unique, it doesn't mean that every single feature in slavery, because for example, in
slavery, a person may be sold.
		
00:57:14 --> 00:57:44
			So in slavery, I mean, this is what, why, where the definition of slavery comes from, you know, but
the understanding the fact that a person may be sold in Roman slavery, or European slavery,
enslavement doesn't, because that is shared with selling in Islamic save, it doesn't mean it is, you
know, it's the same, you have to look at what are the principles around it, because even with the
slave girls, as I mentioned before, the slave girl who was taken as a common law wife,
		
00:57:45 --> 00:57:49
			and this was a means of, of also, you know, bringing in
		
00:57:50 --> 00:58:35
			communities that were, during war times where people were taking us prisoners, just integrating
permanent prisoners into the society, it was a means of absorbing them, you know, as opposed to
keeping them in prisoner status and what is involved with that, we have to know that the child of
that common law, wife, slave wife, is automatically born free. So look at slavery in the other
societies go around the world, wherever slavery existed, if the master has relations with his slave
girl, is that child free or not? You'll not find in any other society, whether Greece whether Rome,
whether you have any of these other places that the child is born free, no, the child of a slave is
		
00:58:35 --> 00:58:35
			a slave.
		
00:58:37 --> 00:58:57
			Right? That is how the systems function. So in Islam, it was unique, that the child of a slave born
to a free master is free. And that slave girl who becomes said, like a common law wife can no longer
be sold, if she bears a child, she can no longer be sold.
		
00:58:58 --> 00:59:13
			And if he dies, and he has not freed her, she automatically becomes free. So it is unique, and there
are many, many other factors to really deal with it in its uniqueness. I mean, there it's a whole, a
very large topic in and of itself.
		
00:59:16 --> 00:59:17
			The other question,
		
00:59:18 --> 00:59:24
			one sister mentioned that she read in some kids books that Hitler was an angel. That's nonsense.
		
00:59:26 --> 00:59:29
			Another question whether
		
00:59:30 --> 00:59:31
			somebody has done you harm.
		
00:59:33 --> 00:59:43
			And you speak about it to others, is that backbiting? Well, it depends. If you're speaking about it
to others who can do nothing about it.
		
00:59:46 --> 00:59:47
			You're just complaining.
		
00:59:49 --> 00:59:53
			Right? Then it may end in the category of backbiting.
		
00:59:55 --> 00:59:59
			However, if you're giving evidence in court
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:11
			Somebody comes to you and says, I want to get into a business deal with this person, do you know
him? And this guy just ripped you off for how many 1000s you're gonna say, Oh, he's a good Muslim,
no.
		
01:00:12 --> 01:00:16
			And Islam, it is your duty to inform that person, what happened to you?
		
01:00:17 --> 01:00:44
			So, where it serves benefit, it is actually benefiting protecting people from greater harm, you
know, giving evidence, etc, etc, you know, then it is not considered to be backbiting where it's
just, you know, squealing just crying squeaking, you know, you're telling anybody, you can tell it's
not gonna do anything, it's not going to change the situation, they're not in a position to make a
change, then it's useless
		
01:00:46 --> 01:00:49
			and can end up in a situation of backbiting.
		
01:00:50 --> 01:00:53
			The last question from the women's side, and we're going to stop after this.
		
01:00:55 --> 01:01:00
			If we claim non Muslim assets, we claim that Allah is most knowledgeable.
		
01:01:02 --> 01:01:07
			So he knew what Adam and Eve were going to do before he put them in the garden
		
01:01:08 --> 01:01:09
			and the tree
		
01:01:11 --> 01:01:14
			and allow Satan to get to them. Why did he do it?
		
01:01:16 --> 01:01:17
			If he's most knowledgeable,
		
01:01:18 --> 01:01:24
			see, again, that type of question is based on what?
		
01:01:26 --> 01:01:34
			saying that if I were God, right, I wouldn't have done it that way. I would do it some other way.
Well,
		
01:01:35 --> 01:01:38
			shoot, Oh, really?
		
01:01:40 --> 01:01:41
			You can't be God.
		
01:01:42 --> 01:01:50
			God is most wise. He chose to do it that way. Then we have to assume that that is the best way.
		
01:01:52 --> 01:01:56
			What we know is that out of it came great good.
		
01:01:58 --> 01:02:00
			out of it came great good.
		
01:02:01 --> 01:02:05
			And we are and we are ready. we point out that if God wished
		
01:02:06 --> 01:02:17
			he could have created human beings put those going to * in *. And those going to paradise in
paradise right from the get go.
		
01:02:18 --> 01:02:26
			Don't bother to live your life out. He just creates you drops you anywhere you go. Now those going
to paradise? Are they gonna complain?
		
01:02:27 --> 01:02:29
			Or loud? Are you putting me in this beautiful place?
		
01:02:31 --> 01:02:32
			They're not gonna complain.
		
01:02:33 --> 01:02:37
			Now those being put in *, they're gonna say, Why
		
01:02:38 --> 01:02:54
			are you putting us here? He says, Well, that's where you're gonna go anyway, Satan was going to get
to you and you're going to do this and that the other end that's where you're gonna end up. They're
gonna say no, no way. If I knew there was a heaven and *, and Satan and all this stuff, there's
no way I would end up here.
		
01:02:55 --> 01:03:08
			So Allah allows us to devote our lives, to make our choices to make our own decisions, so that on
the Day of Judgment, when we come before him,
		
01:03:09 --> 01:03:17
			and our book of deeds are presented before us, nobody is going to question we know, we chose *.
		
01:03:19 --> 01:03:21
			There was a of us, and I asked
		
01:03:23 --> 01:03:25
			that it be none of us.
		
01:03:26 --> 01:03:27
			Those people who choose *,
		
01:03:28 --> 01:03:36
			in a will have nothing, no complaint to make. And that's why in the Quran, whenever law speaks about
this situation, and the people are being led off to *,
		
01:03:38 --> 01:03:50
			none of them he mentions, claiming, this is not right. I shouldn't be here. No. Instead, a lot
quotes them are saying, we now know with certainty.
		
01:03:52 --> 01:04:00
			Give us another chance. If we, so we'll go back to the world and do good and end up where we
supposed to go.
		
01:04:02 --> 01:04:09
			But the law says you're liars. If you're brought back to this world, you will do as you did and end
up where you are.
		
01:04:12 --> 01:04:21
			Because if he brought us back, it would bring us back without knowledge. You know of certainty, we
will come back just as we are now.
		
01:04:22 --> 01:04:23
			Is there a heaven and *?
		
01:04:25 --> 01:04:41
			A prophet said that Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam Did you meet him? You don't know him? Or his
there's a book Quran, which explains it. Is it really the truth? Are all the other religions false?
You know, are we certain?
		
01:04:44 --> 01:04:52
			Same choices that we have to make now are the same choices we would have to make if we came back
without that. Knowledge of certainty.
		
01:04:56 --> 01:04:59
			Chawla would stop here semantic alone, aka shadow and eyeliner.
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:43
			Let's talk Sudoku and a to b, like just reminding you that we have these tapes from the janaza
course, the four tapes on funeral rites in Islam, you know, part of a course which people just
completed. Both are in English. And we have also the CD choosing Islam, which is number of stories
of VCD that is of Westerners, Americans, British and other Muslims from different parts of the West,
who have accepted Islam including use of Islam and others, explaining why they chose Islam a very
good gift to give to non Muslims and to watch ourselves.
