Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa allow people to tap in, or suddenly will suddenly mohalla Anna v Hill Karim la sala to attempt to slim. Rubbish. So the reverse Sidley Emery while Alok that I'm in the sunny of Cabo Kohli, my brothers and sisters in Islam sent Mr. alikum warahmatu Allahi wa barakato
Please excuse me for the delay, I actually forgot something at home and I just sent the family back home to get it
and analyze the last few nights of Ramadan and everyone is scrambling so you have everyone asking you all these questions What do I do if I did this? What do I do if I missed this? Or I missed that or I didn't do you know, I didn't fast or I, you know, I'm taking medication, all these different things. So Pamela, it's amazing how many? How many things come in at one point in time we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to make it easy for all of us. I mean,
as soon as is yours? Do you want to use it or you could take it if you want to, it's up to you. I just don't want you to feel like you can't touch it.
Today we're going to be covering sort of mulk which is the 67th surah of the Quran and we will go all the way until the end of sorta term or Salat surah number 77. So basically we're covering the 29th Jews of the Quran and tomorrow inshallah we will do about half of images and the following night and other half as well. So tonight, tomorrow we'll do a little bit more light as well as you know, the ability to elaborate on a few things in sha Allah. And if there's a few things we don't cover today we'll cover it tomorrow as well.
Sort of turmoil.

Why john?
Manisha.
Sorry, Wendy Nadine nunca phone Bo became neither will Jehan won't be sending mostly. So in verses number one to six Allah subhana wa Taala shows us bless it is he in whose hand is dominion. Now here Allah Subhana which Allah mentions his hand.
Does a lot have a hand?
Right? We never went into this sort of discussion during the entire month of Ramadan. Does he have a hand?
Now here of course Allah subhanho wa Taala means like, you know, it's it's in his responsibility, it's in his control. But we do also affirm and believe the names and attributes of Allah subhana wa attallah that he uses to describe himself in the Quran in various different places. He uses words that describes himself however, we don't know the the description of those things. So for example, if Allah says he has hens, or we will see Allah subhanho wa Taala his face right that on when we enter gender, so we don't know the description and we don't try to explain it. We don't try to describe it at all. We affirm that Allah has this, he affirms it himself. And that's why we affirm
it and we leave it at that. So we believe in it, and we don't try to explain it. Tabatha can let it be Eddie Hill mulk Well, who are highly cliche in Kadir and Allah subhanho wa Taala. Not only is he in control of everything, he has the ability to further control it. He has the ability to further control something Laila to cuddle is right you know, found in one of these nights and tonight is the 25th the night of Ramadan and Allah Subhana lights
Allah during that night we know it's called Layla elkader the night of the Night of Decree the night of power. And that night is one that is the night where Allah subhanho wa Taala Not only is it attributed to the Quran, but now what happens is that Allah subhanho wa Taala gives the command to the angels to carry out certain things for the rest of the year, right to carry out certain things for the rest of the year. We also know that Doha is something that changes Qatar. Doha as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam teaches us is something that can change Qatar. And so there are certain things that are already set to happen and certain things that can change. And Allah subhanho
wa Taala is the one in control of that to better Kennedy via the moral kohala coalition in Kadir a lady hola como tal hyah Talia Beluga comm au San Juan Allah, it is he subhanho wa Taala who created death and life to test you which is us right to test us as to which of us is best indeed. And he is the Exalted in Might and forgiving a lady hola Casa de hacer now what So now Allah subhanho wa Taala starts to talk about his creation we mentioned he discusses his might his power and then going on to his strength and his creation. He created the CMOS the seven skies and the earth
sorry I lost Hannah Montana here says Hanukkah savasana let me back off so the the seven heavens or the sky there's the skies in layers, right the back in layers matter of your healthcare law monument if you do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency there's nothing that you could say, well, you know, Allah is deficient in this or no, this isn't. It's not right, something is missing. Right? It's not consistent. There's something that isn't right. It's not there, there's something that's missing know, Allah subhanho wa Taala created everything in the best way that it should be created in and if it was created in a way that we as human beings think it should have
been done a different way. That's because we don't understand the reasoning behind it. We don't understand the reasoning behind how or why Allah subhanaw taala created something in some way. For example, why is it that we have two eyes and not for two in the front and two in the back? Wouldn't it be amazing to be able to see 360 degrees, but Allah Subhana Allah created us this way for a certain reason. Right? Maybe we go crazy if we can see in the front end in the back at the same time, our brains, you know, so how do I would be working too much. And so Allah Subhana Allah created us in the best way.
Hola Hola. I don't know I never asked him that question. But when we leave this up to Allah subhanho its Allah no doubt the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the things that he did in his life was through why right Allah subhanho wa Taala. We, as we described, he gave him things or put him in situations where he had to either speak or don't speak or deal with things in a certain way. That was all through the command of Allah subhanho wa Taala 1,000,003 granule However, in Hua Illa, Why do you have so we leave that up to Allah subhanho wa Taala if the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam knew things that was happening behind him, this was because Allah is informing him, we know
that he didn't have the knowledge of the unseen except for what Allah allowed him to be aware of right?
Then Allah subhanho wa Taala says,
So model jalebis are a couple of Dany and colleague la Cal Bussereau horsey Allah who has seen then you Sorry, in verse number three, so return your vision to the sky. What do you see? Do you see any break? So Allah subhanho wa Taala describes the sky. Then he says, Look at the sky. Do you see anything? He mentioned that he created it in consistency with seven different layers, seven different thoughts. Do you see any inconsistency? No, it's beautiful. It's amazing. It's created that way. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala says, Then look again, the model Jerry buss will look again What do you see? The second time that you look, your vision will return to you humbled while it is
fatigued, humbled as in Subhana Allah amazing is the creation of Allah subhana wa tada fatigued because you're trying to look beyond what you can't see. And even further, right, sometimes you look at the stars, are you looking at the stars in the middle of the night and you take a telescope or you take binoculars and you look at it and you know what you're not you're not satisfied, then you want to take a telescope that's even more powerful. So you use that and you look and you're still not satisfied. We want to go and see it. So we become fatigued looking at it but some handler we are humbled, because the creation of Allah subhanho wa Taala is so big, but we see it so small, right?
And we feel that thing is massive, huge, powerful. The sun for example.
But when you look at it, you can put your thumb in front of your eye.
And it's gone, right? You just put your finger in front of your thumb, and it blocks the sun so panela but if it was to come closer, it's even bigger than the Earth. We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to, you know, protect us from from the hardships on the Day of Judgment
versus number six to 11. He describes some how Anahata he describes john or describes things that lead up to jahannam. And I don't want to get into too much of the details in sha Allah. But you can read over that in verses six to 11 verse number 19. However, Allah subhana wa attallah says, lm Nero, no.
tiene la cobia one, ma
Naboo bikuni Konishi in Bosley? Do they not see the birds above them with wings spread out? Now when you look at a bird so Pamela, Allah is just identifying one of the small creations of his just yesterday there was a bird walking above that window. So I saw it during the halaqa. Allah knows if it will come back today. But I saw a bird over there really small bird and it just caught, you know, my eye because the sun is shining through and I could see something moving. But somehow when you look at the bird, as small as it could be, it spreads it wings, its wings, and it flies.
Now it's small. What about a bigger bird? It spreads its wings, and it flies and sometimes it you know, the wings go out and it brings its wings down. Right as it's flapping it brings its wings down. We know that aerodynamics are there because it's moving. So imagine if the bird simply stands there with wings straight out. Will it fly?
No, it needs something. First, it needs a gust of air. It needs a tilt in the wing. And now I'm starting to draw our attention to what an airplane. If you think of an airplane sitting on, you know, the tarmac at Pearson right now, is it flying? If it's just sitting there, if huge gusts of wind come with it lifted into the air? No. What does it need a stronger gust of wind. Why? Because it's much heavier than a little bird. So it has engines that create that stronger amount of wind that goes under the wings. And then also what happens the wings.
it tilts it doesn't really tilt but you know, it expands. There's little partitions. I don't know what they call them. winglets or flaps flaps that come out and they catch the wind and then it allows it to start moving and pushes it was I don't know the bird itself is exactly the same way. And look at how Allah Subhana Allah teaches us from the bird to now have the airplane, hundreds of tons of weight, flying in the air with cargo inside of it with people inside of it, but it's still flying in the air. So how the law How is the creation of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And what is what is being used to lift it into the sky? wind, wind, air, that's all it is, is wind and air and
somehow like travels faster than the cars that we drive? Right moving up to 1000 kilometers an hour at 36,000 feet in the air. So you have a lot and it's flying through the sky. Why doesn't it fall? It just has the two little things that you know, if you look at it from a distance you think, you know if you drive down what's at St. Mavis, or here Ontario, going towards a 401 around that area for one in here, Ontario. And you see the planes coming down to lend by, you know, as they're coming into Pearson airport, you sometimes look at it from an angle and you wonder to yourself, how is that thing flying in the air? How is it there somehow the law and we know the dynamics of it, we
understand how it works we understand how you know the air and the wind and the engines etc. So it's amazing still to comprehend that something so heavy can float in the sky. And this is what Allah subhanho wa Taala is showing us here.
None holds them aloft. Nothing is holding it in the air in the sky. except Allah subhanho wa Taala with the command of Allah it stays in the air right with the command of Allah subhana wa Tada. And we know how a lot if the wind is what those of us that say, Oh, you know, it's the wind, the wind is what's keeping it in the in the sky, the air etc. But sometimes the air counter acts and the plane just falls. Right? Sometimes you have what they call I think a slipstream it's very famous in in, in Dubai at the airport in Dubai because there's so many planes landing one after the other. They space them out with the minimum amount of required space as one plane lands. Another one is coming into
land. And so there's there's a stream of air that some kind of law travels behind it, that stream of air can actually knock the whole plane out of control, and the pilot can no longer land it while at the same time it could just drop the plane right to the ground to Panama and so I lost him handle it.
Hannah's in control even though he provides the wind for the plane to lift in the air, he's in control of that plane. In the end, ultimately, he is the one that's in control we move on to sorta to the column, which is the 68th surah of the Quran surah two column is known as the surah of the pen, which pen, this pen.
Which pen
and which pen.
Ah, the pen that Allah Subhana Allah commanded to write upon a low hammer.
Which pen is that that's the pen that was commanded to write the Koran commanded to write what would happen in life and in history, and in the future. That pen is what Allah Subhana Horta Hannah's referring to, but we also know that it's the pen that we use, and we use a pen and Allah Subhana which Allah taught us how to use the pen. And you know, even though we have all these tablets and stuff like that, computers and tablets and phones and touchscreen, what is the best thing to use at the end of the day? A pen Subhan Allah, we all agree that it's a pen and those that disagree, they will somehow agree to disagree that it is the pen and so Allah subhanho wa Taala provided for us the
pin no one call me Mama is
meant to be can be imagined
the facade to
be a mess.
So Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us noon the pen which was used to write the Quran and the clutter of Allah subhanho wa Taala in local my food alone in my food, the protected tablet, Who wrote it? Who inscribes as a lot sorry, let me rephrase that. Who in scribes as Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions in the first verse noon, by the pen, and what they inscribe? Who is day?
Who is they?
The angels Exactly. What are the angels writing?
nail Nila to Qatar? What did I just finished saying? they're receiving the command of Allah, what is it that you what is it that they need to do for the next year? Okay, that's one thing. Secondly, what else do the angels write
our good deeds and our bad deeds, what we do what we say that's good, what we do what we say that's bad, where we go, etc, right, that's written then they write, they continue to write. And so they you know, the writing down and the documentation of things is important in our Deen. It's something that somehow analog we've taken to the next level. And this is why we have the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that is written, documented and protected. We have the Quran that even though it could be destroyed, people might take copies of the Quran and destroy them. But it's still protected within us. And even though it's protected within us, we are encouraged to what to write it
down, document it. And so writing is important in our Deen it's important for us to be people that continuously write. I remember a classmate of mine a few years ago while I was in my master's program, I think it was in my first semester so Pinilla this student, he came from a country where it's normal that we use tablets and MacBooks or, you know, laptops and so on.
And so he was not used to writing with a pen. And the teacher said, you know, today's we're gonna have an exam in class. We weren't ready, none of us were ready. So we're gonna have an exam. Okay, has everyone take out a piece of paper? He wrote down three questions. He says, answer those questions. The questions required a lot of description you had to Right, right, right, right, right. It was three questions. But we had two hours and none of us. None of us actually were capable of finishing satisfactorily within those those two hours. And this one students of handler he got so upset, he threw his pen on the ground, he took his paper, crumpled it up and threw it on the ground.
He says, Who makes us write these days, we were taught to type we're not taught to write, and he got upset and he left he literally just walked out of the exam, simply because he could no longer write his hand was hurting from writing. Some had a lot. And so Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us the pen. It's important for us to always be people that can write and write of different sorts as well not only with the pen, but also be able to type now we live in a day and age where we can learn to type faster and faster and it's a tool. So we should be people that are very dynamic. Okay. That's what our Deen teaches us to be very dynamic. In verse number two Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us that
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he is not a madman, as they said Ma and to be near maturity can be Majnoon. You are not
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, by the favor of your Lord, a madman, you are not a madman. And this is important for us to understand because Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us that during the time of the revelation, when it was coming to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam people were saying he's a madman.
Was he a madman? No, they were saying this is poetry. Was he a poet? No, he wasn't. We took that versus well, Allah says he's not a poet. What was he? He was someone that was illiterate. Could he read? No, could he write? No, he was not someone that could read and he was not someone that could write. Therefore, he was not a poet that would write and read poetry and try to compose and he didn't know how to do that. He didn't know how to make sentences like sentence structures of poetry form or format. However, when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam spoke, he was giving gifts by Allah subhanho wa Taala. It was normal for them to speak with, you know, a very poetic way of
speaking. And I think we touched upon that as well. When we spoke about the Arabs and how they're famously known for that for poetry. The Persians as well. We see it coming out of different countries like India, Pakistan, you know, Bangladesh, very rich and poetry that region of the world of handler. Poetry is is something that they cherish, but the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, there's a reason why Allah subhanho wa Taala says he wasn't a madman, because the things that he was saying of the verses of the Quran was not coming from his own whims and desires. It was coming from Allah, and he wasn't just reading it in another book and coming in saying it to other people. He was
someone that couldn't read. He was someone that couldn't write so he wasn't sitting there writing in the middle of the night. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was this was receiving revelation from Allah. And therefore he was teaching the Sahaba and teaching the machete Khun kurush what he was receiving from Allah subhanho wa Taala as revelation from the Quran. Let's skip to verses number 48 to 52.
In verse number 48, to 52, which is the last five verses of the surah Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us here the importance of being patient and not being in a rush like Eunice Allah has sent me was with his people full speed and he hooked me up be kalenna token counsel, he been who is nada.
Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us Don't be impatient like the person have or the the the companion of, of what Kiswahili
right, the Companion of the whale, the person who is in the belly of the whale, who is that unit Salah is Salaam I mentioned it. Why does Allah subhanho wa Taala show us here indicate to us that he was impatient?
When was he impatient?
Exactly. He left his people before the command of Allah subhanho wa Taala remember when I described the story of UNICEF today has sent him
he was calling his people to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala and stop the sins that they were doing right. And he warned them of a punishment that would come to them if they don't believe or sorry if they don't stop those sins and and purify themselves.
But then Eunice Anna has sent him left before the command of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And when he left the sky started to change colors. Was that the punishment? No, that was a storm. But the people thought Yunus left the sky is changing colors. The punishment must be coming. Let's turn to Allah subhanho wa Taala over 100,000 people turned and asked Allah subhanho wa Taala for forgiveness. All of them wept, all of them started to you know, seek forgiveness but Yunus left and that was what Allah subhana wa tada is referring to here. When Yunus Allah has sent him the left. He was not patient with his people, to the moment that Allah subhanho wa Taala had ordered him or would have
ordered him to leave. And so he left but Allah subhanho wa Taala knows best. This is a lesson for us. We don't say that this is something wrong. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says about prophet Yunus Allah has sent him He says, Don't say that I am better than Eunice have been metta. Do not say that I am better than or that you are better in different narrations. It says he has in him the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and in other you know, explanations, it's you know indicating that we as as human beings as this habit of the Allahu anhu of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam his companions, as well as us don't say you're better than Yunus because
your patient, even metta and in his setup, don't say that. Why? Because he was a prophet of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And that was also the command of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Whatever happened took place, because Allah wanted it to happen for us to learn from. And so we learned from the examples of the prophets and messengers of the past, we move on to the 69th surah of the Quran.
So what we'll have
in Surah, two Hakka Allah subhana wa tada shows us here the sutra known as the reality. The first few verses we're going to skip and we'll go right to verses number 19 to 24. Because these are powerful verses for us to try and understand. Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us here for M and o da kita b m e n e.
Mo Paula kita BIA. So for the one as for the one who receives his book in his right hand, What will he say? Oh, well, Makoto ki tabea. This person you know, he will say here read my record. Right. This is my book read it in Nirvana to me Mona Lisa, BIA.
Indeed, I thought that I was going to be someone you know, that would and hear what it's indicating, you know, I would be meeting my my account or I would definitely now see that my my bad deeds outweigh my good deeds. So this person would think and this could be any one of us. This person would think that you you know are about to stand before Allah subhanho wa Taala received your book of deeds and it's going to indicate to you that you did more evil than goodness, but this person receives their book and they get it in the right hand and they receive it from Allah Subhana Allah and they call out to people they call out happily, joyously, not showing off not boasting, I thought
that I was going to receive now you know, a clear account showing the opposite, but they're happy because they received goodness. firmware theory Isha Tim maglia. So he will be in a pleasant life.

Amen. Oh takita bamboo Mishima de Falco, New York boulia ne ne ne m Mu takita. b 1am. Rima haisa B. Yeah.

How I had not received this I wish I had never received this in their left hand. While I'm a dreamer, he Serbia and had not known what is in my account. I wish that I had not been given this book and not known what it contains of all the evil that I had done in Subhana Allah, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to protect us. Yeah, later hurricane Attila. cobia I wish my death had been the decisive one.
You know, that's it. No more death after this. Why did I have to be resurrected? Why did I have to be given this book in my left hand? Why did I have to see all the things that I did wrong?
Nema Nia, my wealth didn't do any good for me. I was not a NEMA earlier. Man, my wealth. It didn't do anything good for me. I lived a life thinking I have all this wealth, I'm a good person and you know, I help others, etc. But maybe you didn't earn it the right maybe you didn't spend it the right way. Maybe it just wasn't used in the proper way. Maybe the wealth itself was used perfectly fine. But your behavior was not the right behavior. Maybe you were arrogant. You used it right? You gave it in charity, but you weren't sincere in the way that you gave it. And so Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us this person here will say, not only Malia my wealth, it doesn't even do anything for me
now, even if I lived completely, you know, proper in the way that I earned and spent and behaved, but that wealth itself, I can't buy freedom now. I can't buy freedom. I'm standing before a law.

That person might have also been, let's say the CEO, they may have been the president, they may have been the Imam they may have been the chef they may
have been the half of right.
A person of authority and Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us that even that person of authority has no authority and no status standing before Allah subhana wa Tada. It's done. actions are judged by their intentions. Right? actions are judged by their intentions. Why did you do that? What was your intention behind that action? As someone who may have even been the God who's reciting the Quran, who everyone praises who people love, who people want to listen to over and over? Maybe that person was reciting not because of the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Maybe they were reciting to be known as the body. The person who can recite the famous person and seeking fame and we know the
Hadith mentioned in Sai Bahati, that will be the first person that's dragged on their face and placed into Jannah first person, we ask Allah subhana wa tada to save us.
Whoa,

surah number 17 is sought at a marriage sorta to marriage.
In sought after marriage, Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us in verses number eight to 18, the criminal or the wrongdoer? In fact, let's you know look at it from the beginning. So elesa BIA has been working a supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen.

I didn't want to mention it but who is the spirit gibreel alayhis salam, as opposed to Christianity when they hear the Spirit who are they referring to?
they're referring to a component of God. I would not say God because they say there is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. And they say that all three
These is one and so the spirit is a component of the,
the Trinity. And we ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah to grant us and them a deeper understanding of the verses mentioned in the Bible as well as in the Quran. And we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to protect us from any sort of misunderstanding of the verses of the Quran. So here Allah subhanho wa Taala when he says to Harold jewel mala iica were roofie ha the rule. Similarly in Surah Takata, Allah subhanho wa Taala says laylatul coterie, heitman ultrasharp xs general mela iica what roofie ha the angels and there is one angel that is, you know, always singled out above all the other angels and that is gibreel alayhis salam, he brought down the way to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

who can move newtelco najiba who can marry him, while he is an HMI HMI your boss sorona home YAHWAH moogerah moolah, we have Teddy mean either Bo may
be Bernie, they will be shown each other the criminal will wish that he could be ransomed from the punishment of the day by his children. Subhan Allah, you that person will wish to be ransom to be saved to be protected by their children. While saw Hey, buddy, he won't, he won't fall asleep at Letty, we woman feeding the Jimmy
g not only by their children, but by their spouse Well, sorry, but he was he. So here his wife and his brother was asleep. Let he let he and his nearest Kindred who sheltered him, those that looked after them. It could be the parents it could be you know, an uncle, an aunt, it could be someone a relative who looked after them.
A woman fill out of the Jimmy and Thelma Yoongi and whoever is on earth entirely. So then it could that person would save them. So we know that in this case, Allah Subhana Allah is referring to the person who is going to be running after trying to find salvation or protection or some sort of help on the day of judgment from someone, either intercession or good deeds are helped me just protect me do something good for me. And everyone will be saying, enough's enough see me myself, and I, myself, myself, I don't know if I'm going to be someone who's successful. I can't spare a single good deed because that good deed that I might give to you could be the good deed that tips my scale, I'm
sorry, I have no guarantee for myself. There's no way that I'm going to spare any of my deeds and gift to you. And so Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us here, when he mentioned the criminal who is the criminal.
The criminal is the person who is who is who first of all, this believes in Allah subhana wa Tada. This believes in God.
Also the person who sins regularly and we know that disbelief is the greatest sin with Allah subhanho wa Taala. He refers to those who disbelieve as criminals. Let's move on to Surah Noor. A powerful message that we get from Surah Noor
titled after prophet knew or Noah, those that know him as Noah, Prophet nor Hannah has sent them is told in verses number five to 13 how and we see here how he complains to Allah subhanho wa Taala he says, Allah be in need to pumila
he says I'll be in need TAO to call me Leyland when I called upon my people night and day, I invited them night and date going to them inviting them towards what towards the oneness of Allah subhanho wa Taala Leyland, one hour in the night as well as in the day regularly constantly for how many years?
950 years as Allah subhanaw taala tells us he was calling to his people 950 years Leyland one ahora regularly constantly. Now this indicates to us that no Allah has sent him didn't even rest as in his resting point. Now I don't mean he didn't sleep Don't misunderstand. Of course we have to sleep. But his mission regularly as frustrated as they could be the prophets and messengers as tiring as it is. The message needed to be conveyed and they took that seriously weekend. There is no such thing as a weekend in our Deen right the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
Didn't say I will pray five times a day on Monday to Friday and and not on, you know, the weekend or I will call and invite people regularly but on the weekend I need a break. No, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would take breaks on a regular basis every single day at the specific times that we mentioned which times
during the night, so we mentioned after a shot, also he would wake up for 200 and he would go back to sleep, he would wake up for 200 and he would go back to sleep for a portion of the night. And then he would also set a long ladder he was sanlam after in the afternoon, he would take a Lula so there were three times in the day where he would rest weekend. No, there was no such thing as okay kick back and just relax for two full days. 48 hours No, it was constant and so no Allah has sent him he says to Allah subhanho wa Taala I called them regularly all the time, night and day fell me as he do whom do
he fears
but my invitation increased them not except in flight as I continued to call them continue, continue continue. But the more that I called them I realized and knew Allah has sent them as time went on those that believed it came to a point in time where there was a maximum amount that believed and the numbers started to dwindle, the number started to slowly decrease. So then we see in verse number eight, in Nicola Dara tomb Neato Fiona boom general o saw the
fee ni him
Get it? When he was calling his people he said in NyQuil Nevada how to home little fear Allah home every single time constantly when I would call them and invite them to you. And because you're the one who forgives them Jabu saw their home, they put their fingers fee, then he him
doing that on purpose. They would block their ears so they wouldn't hear the message coming from New hallae has.
What do we see happening today? I gave this example last year, right? What do we see happening today? I didn't bring them with me. Anyone have earphones? Put your earphones in your ears. What are people doing?
Putting earphones in their ears and
listening to things that distract them from the remembrance of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Right.
Listening to things that distract them from the remembrance of Allah subhanho wa Taala youth in particular, they don't want to hear they don't want to hear the alarm clock in the house. They don't want to hear their parents calling them to you know, clean up the rooms and do good things. Not just pray, do goodness. They don't want to hear it. So they block their ears. They plug their ears and they'll somehow even have those noise cancelling earphones where you can't even hear someone that's yelling at you. And some have a lot it's completely silent. And they used to do this as well. Jerry Lou I saw their home fee attorney him was still show Thea Bahama, Southern was stuck about a stigma.
And they would draw their cloaks like we have goodies today hoodies sweaters, they would draw over their heads. Just like you see the youth doing today, earphones in their ears, hoodies over their heads. I don't want to see you I don't want to hear you just leave me alone. Let me find my own business. You mind your own business, I'll live my life you live your life. That's exactly what they were doing during the time of no holiday his setup.
Exactly the same thing. So how to live.
And then he goes on to tell Allah subhanho wa Taala that they persisted in this and were arrogant. They were arrogant as well. He then goes on to say them in neither how to whom G.
Then I invited them publicly. Some in me
to know whom was Serato 11 is wrong. Then I announced it to them and also confided to them secretly. So he went publicly speaking to people and he went silently secretly speaking to people, and then what does he tell us? To still feel?
He
can have
he says to Allah subhanho wa Taala remember, no one is telling a law what he was doing. He says I told them football to I said is stove a theater or a back home? Ask your Lord to forgive you in who can have fouta he is verily The one who forgives. All Merciful, all forgiving. We know that Allahumma in NACA airfoil. When to head Bulava sorrowful. This is the time of the month when the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam would increase constantly. We're driving to our Masjid coming here. We're going home. We're walking to go for his thought whatever. We should be reciting this to her over and over and over. This was a time of the year when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
would say it regularly Allahumma inika are for one to head Bulava fire for honey or Firefly no
All of us. So new Allah has sent me says I told them to ask their Lord for forgiveness. Why? Why he explains to Allah now why he asked them for to ask Allah for forgiveness. And this goes to show us for those of us that want five things, three in this life to in the hereafter do is still far regularly. He shows us what you get by making so far. He says, You are seen is
a major all of us have had what Allah provides for you when you do regular is still fun. He provides for us beneficial rain, now their time and at many other you know, times during the past. And even our time, we see that some places on earth suffer of drought, they don't have any water, there's no water and the water that's already in the rivers and the lakes etc. And the seas, they told you know what, don't use so much of it, just ration it off, because it's going to be a long hot season. So use less. He says to them that Allah subhanaw taala will send for you a beneficial rain. Imagine Alhamdulillah we live in Canada and we get beneficial rain all the time, all the time. But this past
month, for like three weeks, we didn't see rain. And just a couple of days ago it rained and now on handle again it you know rained as well, or three or four days ago. And now a couple of days ago it rained beautiful, we get the rain out of hamdulillah. But imagine if the rain came down so thick and heavy, that the soil of the ground doesn't absorb it. Some of us know we've been in countries and we've seen it. In fact, this morning I was watering the plants outside and because it was very dry. I put an entire jug of water and I was putting it putting it in putting in putting it in and the whole jug it flooded up to the top and then it's sunk to the bottom.
And the top became dry again, because the soil was so dry it just folded over so the dry dirt came on to the top. And I'm like subpanel I put my finger in it to see is the dirt even wet. Because the top is dry it you look at it, it's dry, you touch it, it's dry. Where did the water go? So there's different types of Earth. Allah subhanho wa Taala describes that to us. The Prophet sallallahu wasallam describes that to us that there's different types of Earth, and there's earth that absorbs the water and their soil that does not absorb the water. And sometimes Allah sends heavy rains to Earth that naturally absorb the water, but because it's too much water, it just creates a flood. It
doesn't absorb into the ground. And we see it happening all the time you open the news, you ask yourself, how is it rain? How does rain cause flooding? It absorbs into the ground? sometimes it doesn't. Why? Because someone is commanding the earth to either absorb or don't absorb.
Take the water or leave the water except the water or reject the water who controls that? A lot. Not Mother Nature. A lot controls it a lot sends the rain and he controls the earth to either accept the rain or reject the rain. And here new Allah has sent him tells his people you want beneficial rain that's going to help you and grow your plants etc. Do a lot of Estefan then he says
your scene is sort of useless man it can be drama. William D do come me Mr.

Do a lot of football to still Fiera come in who can have a thought are your silly Santa Ana la comida. Aurora while you need to Columbia Meanwhile, in Weber Nene and he will not only give you just wealth, Allah subhanho wa Taala will give you children, good children, those that are amongst us that can't have children or have never had children. And you wish to have children. Maybe you're
going through and I know somehow there's people in this Masjid at least two or 345 people now I can think off the top of my head that came to me and told me that you know, we've spent money and gone through tests and tried to have children and we can't. I know there's a brother Subhanallah brother and sister living you know, in Brampton, the brother was telling me once we spent over $120,000 trying to have children and they never had children.
And he's like we just now we stopped and we just do is still thought and they don't have children now. And we know cases of people who we tell the same thing, do a lot of his stuff out and years later they are granted children. It's from Allah subhanho wa Taala don't think that it can't happen. It can happen if you want it to happen, it could happen and also those that don't have children. Remember it's a blessing from Allah subhanho wa Taala as the parents that are here.
Right, as the parents that are here.
Yes, their children are a blessing. But at the same time sometimes they say you know what, I wish someone just babysit the children so we could have a break. Or we could do the things we always wanted to do. There are some mothers that may be extremely educated and they
say, you know what, I've never been given the chance to go and work a single day in that profession. They wanted to be, you know, doctors or they wanted to be teachers or they want to be lawyers, whatever it is, but they never got the opportunity because they got married and got pregnant right after they finished their degree. They never got to work. Then one child came and another child came, and then all the child is so cute, we need to have another child. And then those three children grow older. It's like, Oh, we need another child. And then you're given four daughters, you want a son so you keep trying and trying and trying and you're only given daughter so you keep
getting more children, and they never get to work. And Allah subhanaw taala shows us those that have the children. They say, you know what, I could be more productive with the rest of the world had I not been given children don't complain, because there are people that don't have children and they wish to be in your shoes. And those that don't have children. There are people that wish to be in your shoes as well. And so always be happy with what Allah subhanho wa Taala gave you. You did can be unwell in what they need, you get children and you'll get wealth if you constantly do so far. Way ajala comm Gen. Y Gen comm
that we mentioned three things that you get in this life, there's two things you will get in Gen next gen Nat gardens and we spoke about the gardens the other day and unharmed rivers, rivers flowing you can do whatever you want with whatever you want agenda Subhana Allah and you will do whatever it is that is obedient to Allah, it's not that you will now start to do things that are you know, disliked by Allah. No, because you live the life of righteousness here on Earth, you will want to be even more righteous and thankful when you see what you're given an agenda. And so we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to give us those gardens, and to give us those rivers that will flow of honey, of
milk, of water, of wine of whatever you want, that is pure that does not intoxicate that is only good and filled with goodness. And so Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us how new Allah has sent him, you know, indicates to us
that he was constantly telling his people to come to Allah subhanho wa Taala and good things will come to them. But in verse number 13, he asks them a question, Maluku lerton turn on June and in
what is the matter with you that you do not want to attribute to a law is do grander his status? What's wrong with you? Don't you know that the person who gives you the rain is a law? Don't you know that the wealth that you earn is a lot Don't you know that the one who gives you those children is Allah? Don't you know the one who gives you the gardens in general as well as the rivers is Allah? Don't you understand? This is what he's saying to his people? Don't you understand? Don't you reflect? Don't you ponder over the greatness of Allah subhanho wa Taala Why won't you believe you just go and do your own thing? No. We're too busy enjoying our lives. And this is the message we
learned from New Hannah his center. Let's move on in sha Allah tala to Surah number 72. Which is similar to Elgin.
In verse number one Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us was never him or her yet in a year and was done rnfl meenal Gene nifa Cano in Semyon por un and Java SE, O Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Allah is telling Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, Indeed, we have heard an amazing or an urn and I Jabba yeah De La Roche de furama nabee it guides to the right course and we have believed in it, and we will never associate with our Lord anyone. So there are from amongst the jinn. This is what we learn here. We learned that there are from amongst the jinn, those that believe and those that are amazed by the
Quran
and in verses number 11 to 17. The jinn admit that there are believers from amongst them as well so you can read through the verses as well. Verses 11 to 17. Allah subhana wa tada discusses the jinn are the jinn the creation of Allah subhanho wa Taala Yes, are the jinn in control of that which no one else has control of? No, because Allah subhanho wa Taala has control over everything. So we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to protect us and safeguard us from the evils that are out there. We ask Allah subhana wa tada to make it easy for us to come closer to Him and to accept what is the truth from Allah subhanho wa Taala and from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we don't get scared
of the of the jinn, we should always stand strong and know that we are people of the truth. We have the truth, we believe in the truth and from amongst the jinn. There are those who also believe in the truth. And we've seen it we've witnessed it and we believe it and we ask Allah subhana wa attallah to protect all those that are affected by you know, being overcome by the jinn. We asked a lot to overcome the
Evil jinn, which he has power to, and to remove them from those that are troubling us as human beings and believers in Allah. I mean
I think we will stop there in sha Allah tanto continuous sort of term resemble tomorrow. Remember I said tomorrow we're going to do half of ages and the following their half urges as well. So we'll stop there for today. Before we go on, please remember, rather sad. You all know the other side Hasnain who's always serving us food.
His his wife is in the hospital currently right now.
She's only I think 37 weeks or 35 weeks pregnant. And think there's some complications. And I don't know the brother who conveyed the message to me is not sure if the child is delivered or miscarried. So I don't know the details. So please keep him in your door on his his wife in your heart. I do know that yesterday, she was feeling some pains and you know, is having a little bit of a difficult time because my wife told me yesterday as well. So we asked Allah subhanho wa Taala to make it easy for her and her hardships and difficulties. They're always here serving us. Honestly, Subhana Allah, there are people working behind the scenes. And sometimes we take our food and we get upset, because
they're rushing, right, they're rushing. And we need to remember that they're serving us. And they're only rushing because they're not only concerned about us with our plates in front of their face, they're concerned about the person who's behind us and the people behind them. And they want to make sure that everyone gets to eat before a shot as well and gets to have some time to rest as well. And so remember when they're rushing, and sometimes we get upset, I've seen people get upset, don't be upset, don't be upset, we have to understand it's not easy being in their shoes, or being in their position. So let's be thankful to them. Try and help them try to give the plates back to
others when they give you a food ticket and go take it and go and just move just move in Sharla and make a good deal for them say Jazakallah Hayden May Allah subhanho wa Taala bless you for serving us this food. May Allah give you the reward of all of our fast make a good day out for them when you make a day out for them I was pleased with you and shares the reward with you as well. So we ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah to help all those that are going through hardships and difficulties. They ask a lot to help our brother sad and his wife and family members. We ask Allah Subhana Allah to protect his mom and his brother who are gone for Ramadan at this point in time. We ask Allah
subhana wa tada to help all those that are suffering and struggling in different parts of the world, in our head and Philistine in Pakistan and Bangladesh and Burma, in Indonesia, in Philistine in Syria, etc. We ask Allah subhana wa tada in Afghanistan to help all those that are suffering and struggling and to bring them ease and comfort. And we ask Allah subhana wa tada to accept our deeds and grant us forgiveness throughout this month of Ramadan. Tonight is the 25th night of Ramadan, please take advantage of this night. Even if it's something small. ask Allah subhanho wa Taala for one simple moment, 30 seconds for forgiveness and you will not regret it. It is in illa Allah wa
