00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			Many women were mentioned in the Quran
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			by name or by reference.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			For example, the wife of Sayida Ibrahim,
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			the wife of Al Aziz in chapter Yusuf.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			We have Hawa,
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			although her name was not mentioned, Saydah Hawa.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:26
			We also have the mother of Saydna Musa.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			We have the daughters of Saydna Shwaib. So
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			there's many women mentioned in the Quran, and
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			we're gonna take you through this journey
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			and look at the woman in the Quran
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			as Allah
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			revealed
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			to us.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			So the first one, which is mothers in
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			the Quran.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			So for the mother, we have the mother
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			who begged Allah
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			to give her a righteous child, and this
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			was the mother of Sayida
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			Maria. Turned to Allah and says,
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			I have given what I am carrying, meaning
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			the fetus, by for your service.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			Except for me.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			You're all knowing you're all hearing.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			Where he said the When she delivered, she
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			said, you Allah, I delivered the girl.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			And Allah knows what she delivered. And she
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			said that
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			the girl
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			is not like
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			the boy or the the woman is not
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			like the man. That's a translation.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			That the meaning of it is not they
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			are not the same, but in the service
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			of the of the church in that time,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			it was only allowed for the male, was
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			not allowed for the woman. She wanted a
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			baby who will serve Allah
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			What happened?
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			Allah accepted her with a beautiful
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			Zakaria took care of her.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			Every time Zakaria, Sayyidina Zakaria enter
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			on
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			say, he finds sustenance.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			Mary, where did this come from?
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			It's from Allah.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:27
			Allah
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			to whom he wills without accounting,
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			without counting it.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			The mother here, what's the message to you
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			and me? What's the message to all the
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			women out there and to the mothers there?
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			Make dua to Allah
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			even before you get married. Let alone after
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			you get married, let alone when you when
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			you are pregnant, that Allah
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			gives you a righteous child that serves Allah
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			May Allah emphasized
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			on this and we ended up with a
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:56
			saydah,
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			Mariam. And Allah
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02
			answers. He listened. He hears, and he gives
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			the way that pleases insha Allah everybody, but
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			the most important, the way that he sees
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			it the best for us. So that's the
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			first one.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			Now the second mother in the Quran is
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			the mother who put her trust in Allah
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			completely, the mother of Sayyidina Musa.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			Well, at
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			the half, don't be afraid.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			And don't worry. We're gonna bring him back
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			to you, and we're gonna make him a
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			prophet.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			How many mothers can do that?
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			Newborn baby breastfeeding,
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			throw him.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			We will bring him back. She not only
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			believed in Allah, but she had certainty Allah
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			will bring him back to her. Then who
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			picked him up? Of course, subhanAllah, again, how
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			Allah plans things for
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			each one of us. The main enemy who
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			didn't want any boy
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			and he was killing all the boys because
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			he doesn't want anyone to take his
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			power and throne.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			Then they picked him up, and his wife,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			the wife of Shiron, said, don't kill him.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			Don't kill him.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			He maybe he will be a benefit of
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			us. Now what happened to the mother of
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			Musa?
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			The heart of the mother of Musa became
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			empty empty because it was full of the
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			love of her son, newborn.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			She was about to tell people I throw
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			him the boy in the house of pharaoh
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			is mine.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			Gave her the strength. That's one of the
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			things we learn.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			Put our trust in Allah
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			When we get weak, turn to him, and
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			Allah will keep us
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			strong.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			And then Allah plans it.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			And what
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			she
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			she said to his sister, follow him.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			She followed him, as she was seeing what
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			is happening in the house that they picked
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			him,
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			and Allah planned it. Have faith in the
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			plan of Allah.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			Allah plans in ways
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			way, way different than what we think.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			Allah made him refuse
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			every woman breastfeeding.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			He refused.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			So now they have to find a woman
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35
			who can breastfeed him. Their sister said,
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			I will show you on somebody who is
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			gonna be able to breastfeed him, and he
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			will accept it.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			We brought the mother back to him.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			So she feels happy
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			and she does not feel sad.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			The promise of Allah is truth.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			Majority of people
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:07
			don't know. Mothers have faith in Allah or
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			rely on Allah. Whatever Allah plans is good
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:10
			for us.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			Then Allah gave examples of wives in the
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			Quran.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			Example of 2 wives
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			and a 1 wife. The 2 wives that
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala did not praise them.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			The wife of Noah and the wife of
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:30
			Lord.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			They were the wise. They
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			were living with 2 of our righteous
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			servants, Sayid Nanno Hussein Nanno.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			They betrayed them.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			How did they betrayed them? Sayyidina Nur's wife,
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			Noah's wife, her name was Wahila,
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			and she used to say to his people,
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:51
			he's crazy.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			And the wife of Sayid Naulwab, her name
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			is Wa'ila.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			And she used to tell people
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:58
			when
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			the angels or when the man comes in,
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05
			she used to to visit them. She used
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08
			to tell people that there is man in
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:08
			his house.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			They betrayed them,
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			both Nur
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:17
			and
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:19
			Lord.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			You will end up in Jahannam with those
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			who are entering it. It doesn't matter who's
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			your family. It's your work.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			It's your deeds. We'll get to us, inshallah.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			We'll get you and get all of us
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			to Jannah.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			Both of them ended up in the hellfire,
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			although they were in the most righteous homes
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			because they disobeyed Allah and they did things
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			they shouldn't do.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			Now the other wife,
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			Now the wife of pharaoh Asiya,
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			well, she was living with Firaoun,
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			and what did she say?
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:06
			You Allah
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:10
			built for me. Build for me a house
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			with you in Jannah.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			Save me from pharaoh. What he's doing,
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:21
			save me. Remove me from those
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			people who does wrongdoing.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			And they said he was so upset with
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:29
			her when she believed in Allah that he
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:30
			laid her in the sun,
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			and he used to torture her
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:37
			torture her, but then when they leave Allah
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			usually sends a cloud to shade her.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			And even angels came to see her. When
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			she saw that, that's when she made the
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			dua. That's when she died actually. She was
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			very happy and smiling because she would be
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			elevated to be with Allah
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			So for the wives that they are living
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			in difficult marriages
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			or they are struggling to obey Allah subhanahu
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			wa ta'ala, do inside their marriage,
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			read about the the wife of pharaoh and
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			learn from her
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			and then how she was connected with Allah
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			in spite she is living
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			in the most the most or the number
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			one enemy to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			For women, as you have seen, we covered
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			different kinds of women in the Quran,
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			But there is one which was covered in
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			way more detail,
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			and this is a woman in power.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			And that's what we're gonna be covering tomorrow.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			So ask yourself this question, and the answer
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			is in the Quran.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			Was there a mention of a woman
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:42
			that's had
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:43
			power?
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			And how was she mentioned? And what was
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			the story about? And where was it in
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:49
			the Quran?
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			We'll find out tomorrow.
