Bismillah you're off man Iraqi
was salam ala Rasulillah Vida and he was suffering eat Manuela
the psychological pain and everyone for coming and joining the summit event with your families. May Allah subhanho data and so Baraka in your life.
Before we begin, I would like to take care of the logistics. I'm humbled request to all of the honourable brothers and sister or sisters who are present here
that since we have an esteemed and honored guest here with us, so that's quite a benefit from what he's going to talk to us about and be considerate and kindly keep your side conversations and noise level to a minimum. Please try to give our share and undivided attention. Also parents, please, please, please take care of it. Okay, look after look after your truth may allow. So I'm gonna download about all of you. I mean.
Alright, so as you all know, we have our beloved chef, Dr. hatin on Hodge with us, who will be going over lessons learned from threads, I'll cover and the story of our film, about an hour or so after that, we'll have a q&a session until 730, then dinner with four brothers, they will be on the ground floor and for the sisters, they will be in the cafeteria inshallah. And after that, we will have a Shabbat at 850. And there's an official from Sarkar foundation regarding the recent earthquake. So please try to stay back for that a little Burkinshaw Allah.
So even though she had the massage does not get an introduction.
All right. I will put that up. So
alright, so without further ado, we'll just begin to dive in and give the floor to our chef.
To proceed
so today, Inshallah, we will talk about sort of
set Alikum. As our chairman said, we haven't seen gas, air. And all, most of you brothers and sisters have come to listen to him. I'm sitting here and I'm hearing a lot of noise from the sisters section. Maybe there are many children there are so but I'm sure that many sisters have come to listen also, right? Those who have children, please take them out of that area. So we will not disturb them. As well as the sisters who may want to engage in conversation among themselves, please leave the area also go elsewhere, come out of there, go downstairs or going into the cafeteria area. We do not want any disturbance while the speech is going on.
So
I think it's a timely discussion to talk about, or you can talk in particular about the story of saying the loose end product. You could say other oil filters, they're both okay. So
it's a part of the discussion. But we you know, we never knew that it was going to happen after the earthquake.
So, it was not actually planned, or premeditated. It just happened to be trying to make up a little clip of Allah subhanaw taala.
So sorry to cough and I was under the impression that we will talk about Sir Arthur Catherine general, and this is from sort of back and forth trials that were mentioned in sort of Cafe but we should certainly
focus a little bit more on one part of the surah which is the story of St. Mimosa and said Now Father, Allah in the cellar
sort of caffeine is a monkey So Ron, you must know that it is mostly a monkey sort of mostly a monkey. So
it's number 18. And the plan it was revealed after Serato Garcia chronologically, but it comes as the 18th surah in the order out the most half and it is comprised of 100 and centers is comprised of 110 verses
there
are about eight different sections. And when we say eight sections, you can come up with nine, you can come up with them, these classifications, we don't need to disagree over them. It's just like something that makes things a lot easier and simpler for us to remember and to conceptualize the themes of the surah. But at the beginning of the Surah, you have the first section, the first section talks about
the Quran, and talks about the prophets grief over the disbelief of the disbelievers. And it concerns the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, it consoles the prophets of Allah.
And then it proceeds to
remind that the prophets are sovereign and the believers of the first tribe that people get subjected to, which is the tribe to face. So the first thing though, saw this first trial with the surah addresses is the triumph of faith, people who get persecuted because of their faith, and that is the story of US Public Health, or the people of the cave.
And then, at the end of the story,
it goes back, you know, the first thing that we will come back and talk about this in some more detail. But the first thing that the first thing that this what I mentioned is 111 in the hands of our dedicated volunteers, our language came along, essentially the middle. We have us here on millionaire Lavina I want to say hi to another major, Hustler magazine or
whatever. So the first thing that disorder mentions is that from the line that the ends are an article called Praise be to Allah Who sent it down the book, the book, because this is the most central theme of the book. And then the answer
to hunger wherever.
And we mean, they're in power deviance, no crookedness in the book, tiny man most upright, most upright, this is the best the guy. This is the Imam of all Imams, the book of Allah subhanaw taala nopparat It is the best shave. It is the infallible chief, the Quran,
a human, essentially even don't mourn enough severe punishment from him. Well, unless you're no millionaire to give tidings or good tidings to the believers, who do righteousness and hustle and that they will be for them a good reward or an excellent reward. So then after this, this moron, you know, talks to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam about that this belief of the disbelievers falling back on NASA kinda sad in the new middle, do you have anything as
you perhaps will destroy yourself out of grief over them grieving over them grieving over who even go back to this believers is grieving over their disbelief. He is keen on guiding them. He wants to guide though he wants to save them. He wants to scare them off the hellfire. And he and this is giving him the you know the sorrow of the grief that they are defiant and their disobedience
is killing him. So Allah subhanaw taala is trying to consult with them and to comfort them and tell them there is nothing wrong that you're doing that you will not fall in short, you are about to kill yourself out of grief because of them and serene,
serene, because they are not believing in this, you know, Hadith or in this way or in this revelation, I suffer out of sorrow, you will do this to yourself. And then it was an apparent I tells him that this is a test and in that it is a test. I give them free choice. So that is a reminder for the prophets Allah Allah Allah, Allah Allah Allah RBZ Mata Lena, Lena blue, a Johan X and Muhammad Allah, we have made all that you see on the surface of the Earth from planet Earth earth we have made everything that you see Zenith Allah as an adornment for it. Why limit Luvable to test to them. It's all a test. That is the same thing that is repeated over and over and over and
over and keeps on reminding us it is a test. You know, the back of the DVR the amount or aliqua the same or the other development on hatherly A blue what home a Yoko masala what are these four plus this E.
Tomato McCall equation and whose hands is the Dominion and he's capable over all things he will created life and death. It
Pray to the old pig fears, or peers, you know, darkness in life, life and death, grief and happiness,
bitterness and sweetness, left and right, up and down. Every all pairs of things were created in pairs.
So kind of a developer and as much as you know, exalted as He who created both things, and there's movement of this
woman and force him or not,
from that which the earth brings force, and from themselves, and from that which God have known, all that knowledge about, everything is created in pairs, and everything is created in pairs, including life and death. Why, to test this, you know, you have a yoga asana umbrella, as to which of you who is best in these best in action.
So, so going back to sort of be careful, I must know now that says that we've created this earth, and we've created everything on top of this earth, as it does for any manager, and
even yourself, you know, after we had learned it, and we made it needed the perfect test place for the perfect test, then we will make it into a barren land, a barren flat land, so we will destroy everything about it. This is not meant to be it. This is not the eternal life, this is not the place for eternal life, this is not meant to be the end of the story. This is not meant to be the end of the journey. This is a chapter in the book. And if you insist on reading that one chapter, and neglecting the rest of the book, and you think that it does not make sense, it is your fault. The chapter may not make sense sense, until you finish reading the book, read the chapters before and
the chapters after, and everything will make sense. Then,
then after this, you know, and then we will have to fast forward because we don't have enough time to talk about the entire story in detail. But after this, Thomas, that story of us habit, if you know the story of us having said that, I must have a cantilever beam coming in at Nevada, where have you found that the people of the cave and the inscription, the inscription the mountain, the valley, you know, it's something that pertains to the people of the cave, or theme. And when I say Thanos have a curfew or a theme coming out in our article where of the most wondrous signs of ours. And the point is, no, they were not the most wondrous signs of ours, we have more wondrous signs, but they
were wonder wondrous. You know, in any case that they were like, it's a wonderful story.
Because it does have a cap your income and you know, I want to cover up and I didn't come from
Russia,
when the when the when the you know, when the young men and the point of young men here is is actually to ponder and to reflect on
because usually
comes faster to women, young men are, you know, nothing trenched in their beliefs, they are not like older people that are entrenched in their beliefs, so Hidayat comes faster to them, also, this guidance can come faster, you know, they are not as sort of fixated in their belief systems as, as older people so they can come to them faster, and they can change their mind faster. And they can give up, you know, tradition and, and sort of customs and everything faster. So they were young men, and there is a point to ponder here. fit here and on him, was it and
what about Nevada flew behemoth camo for probably would have been on a personality or another one doing 11.8 on saltwater, how would I accommodate that? So the the belief in the north, and we increase the lemon guidance, amateur opinion was phenomenal. And then the point in the story is that they were persecuted. They ran away. They went and hid them in the cave. And he spent 309 years in the cave. And then Allah subhanaw taala Brompton back
we're going to go from that will end up moving normally how are you saw that are either here in the FMS or motivated on Bravo. So
you
And although because we made them to be found with make them to be found found by the people of that city, that people have become believers, you know, this is 309 years later, no one of their of the people that used to be their contemporaries Is there anymore, but they have heard of them. And these steps, learn the learned about them. There were stories being circulated about them. And Allah made them found for everyone to know that the purpose of Allah Naugle, but you have to understand the fear
in the
masjid, so, so we made them to be found so that everybody knows that, Sarah, that our wind come, and there is no doubt about this. Because Allah subhanaw taala, you know, the one who started the creation can bring it back, starting would be more difficult to then return it to the way it was when he started that. So then after the story of Sabbath calf finishes,
Allah subhanaw taala says, you know, the after the last verse of the story about how to care for Allah subhanaw taala says, Welcome over here, they can look at that, or you can read it or visit don't even have to have so and recite that which has been revealed. So we're going back, we're now. So it started with 111, the answer or the Kitab. It's it. And then after the story of Osama calf, which has some, you know,
it has basically some lessons for the believers, and it is meant also to comfort them and to give them strength to tell them that you are not the first people to be persecuted because of your faith, and hold on to your face. Because October in the outcome for the believers is the best out there.
Then it was important, I like those back and
authorize telling them hold on to them to my book, hold on to my book, that that is, you know, the first lesson hold on to my book, what I can tell you article
20, you can recite that which has been revealed to you of the book at your door that there no one will alter his word. No one can alter his words.
But I'm putting them in North Dakota, North Dakota, and you will find no refuge other in him other than em or accepting Him, for accept with him. And with him with Allah subhanaw taala is the refuge.
And then Allah subhanaw taala tells the prophets of Allah is Allah and the messenger has been for everybody else, you know, after I told you about us covered calf, they were persecuted, they ran away and so on. But they were victorious at then. So what's been NAFSA Karnala Nina, the one that you're actually you're even watching what I thought like that was enough ahead duniya well, I'll put them and have fun.
Okay, I'm gonna follow them. So, hold on, like, keep with, you know, the company of those who are the ones who are still not within a one or
keep the company of those who invoke their law to
make, work their door that remember the door and sing the praises of their Lord and recite the words of their Lord, hold on to those. So, in addition to the book, you know, that is your main sheath, that is your main Imam, your main guide.
Hold on to the with the you know, to the company of those who will remember they're going to recite the word that their board sang the praises of their board. You know, he morning, late night, you read through and
that's what I thought why not? Do not let your eyes go beyond them or pass them
or go beyond
three to zero haven't done yet are seeking the adornment of the life of this world. And keep in mind
taking home the Dean together taken all the revelation together because that is what we need to do. There is no condemnation here for Xena Katatonia performance enough or whatever to read. The same book says quote Muhammad was enough Allah the opposite at the bottom of it no risk. say boo.
Who is he, for me, the Xena are the races or the bounties or the adornments of Allah that he brought forth for his service. So there is no condemnation of the pleasures and the beauties of this world, per se and Islam, the condemnation of them is when they distract you from your main goal, and they often distract us. So don't think it is easy, don't think that it's easy to say, you know, I have it in my hand, I don't have it in my heart treated me to work hard to not have it in your heart. Because most of the people who have it in their hand, they also have it in their hearts. So don't think it is that easy, it is difficult. So you need to make sure that you don't have it in your
heart. But But at any rate, Allah subhanaw taala and studying them, you know, hold on to the book, and hold on to the company of the righteous entrepreneurs to come out
to Las Vegas. And then,
liat, continue and talk about you know, the two different parties that the people you know, as having a minute let's have two different qualities that we talk about them and then the hair then the second trial first try was trying to face and the second trial is the five of us and the second trial is the triumph of wealth.
Methodology regulators aren't gonna have you mentioned that even
Jonathan yesterday talking about himself
and I certainly can analyze whenever whatever doesn't matter, we'll find him on MC you're probably not going to be the heavy with a President Obama from Saudi
Arabia is gonna hire a minimum of caliber, and alongside people who are different provinces. So I cannot do that. Like, you're also gonna be what I would consider unethical. Allah La Quwata illa, Allah interlinear and I'm in Canada are one of the first
genetic spammers and I've had to spend time on South Africa, we just
thought of that, well, Hiccup is a very and I feel bad. So it is the story of the Mother, the two men
for work for for whom I was kind of bizarre that gave two gardens, the two parties Allah subhanaw taala is telling us about coverage that matters, and how we bless it, he is in terms of the word with the pleasures in terms of the word that the bounties, how much Allah has given them, not only money, but also progeny. So money and project and strengths and so everything you need in this in this life
Coronavirus, keeps on telling us this is a really you know, so the Quran writes the you know, or draws the sort of beautiful portraits by words. So Allah is telling us about the two gardens that he had in our gardens of
vine grapes, grape vines, and
found that they are surrounded by palm trees. And they have between the two gardens feeds of crops.
And through the gardens, there is a river that is gushing forth. So there is, you know, you could imagine and you can imagine also, that's the addiction or the people in Makkah, you know, there is nothing like this in Raqqa whatsoever. But But anyway, Allah subhanaw taala is telling them that we have given other people much more than we have given you, and that it wasn't of no benefit for them, when they were ungrateful and defined. But then, you know, so So the IR talk about the story of the two men and one man that became arrogant because of his wealth, and because of his paradox of income, and my husband, I thought I have I have more money that you had greater in numbers, meaning,
you know, in project, you know,
maybe you are the as the you're drawn to a greater tribe, or whatever it is, but the numbers, you know, supporters, greater supporters, so not only money, but also numbers.
And then, eventually, he was encircled by the ruins of his rules or eighth of the family. He was encircled by Israel and froze and nothing benefited him
Nantucket well, I'll call him on top and I'm a failure on the OCT one problem as an engineer, so this is the third segment and the fourth segment is basically
going back
You know, between so the first one, the second was the triumph of faith. The third was a reminder a reminder about holding on to the book of Allah and also the company of the rangers and the two groups and outcome for belief and disbelief. And then the the trials of wells and after the price of wells, Allah subhanaw taala gives them the parable of this light, whether or not my sort of had to do any maintenance and I'm gonna salon for half an hour because perhaps human to Rubery, African alojado condition but a little a little easier for her to do it on the other side of how to find a lender or bank or higher on another. So, so Allah subhanaw taala, after this, you know, trial of
words, Allah subhanaw taala is reminding them of the likeness of this life, the likeness of this life, what is the likeness of this life? In certain Hadith, it is that this this area is basically more detailed. But here I was not on I said, command as an Asana. It's like what you brought down from the heavens, for phlebotomy in about an hour is that mix with other stations, plasma how she went through, and then it became dry remnants that are scattered about by the winds,
whatever want to question that, and Allah subhanaw taala was escaping over all things so and so he says, What has been your life and what was the ultimate outcome? But because
there has been a rise in algebra so far and about for men, each with their own spoilers.
So can I say the rise the lightness of the catatonia is like a rain out of the kuffaar Annabelle to the farmers were pleased by the presentations that came there from from the rain. The farmers were too pleased rain came down, you know, and everything became green, and fruitful. And the farmers are pleased with everything they say so many beautiful Taraba mascara, and then it dries out and then it becomes yellow, or turns yellow. So my opponent Obama, Obama and then crumbles away.
In the hereafter, there is great torment, and there's forgiveness from Allah subhanaw taala and pleasure. So this is exactly the stages of our life. You know, you know, I've said this several times, maybe once here.
If you look at it, if you look at the newborn, I said that newborn is born with about 75% of their body weight and water. And then when you die, you have about 55% of your body weight in water, you literally dry out, you literally dry out from the time you are born and you start to lose water you start to dry out, you're just like the leaves on the tree. You know, green, yellow, crumbles away turns into dust. We are this you know every time you see the leaves on the trees, just remember your story. That is your journey. That's your story. Green, Yellow wrinkles, you know, if you dry out and then you crumble away, and you turn into dust and that's it. So I was gonna is reminding us this is
the trial of wits it is it is a huge trial. And we have inculcated that sort of greed in you so you need to overcome it you need to overcome it. There are two things
two things the prophets Allah La Santa morning as well now depending on your setup the environment they have said that every moment customer Allah Sharkey will never redeeming to hungry wolves sent into a flock of sheep will not cause more destruction than once eagerness for
you know sharpen, which which would be status and money. Then once eagerness for status and money is destructive for their legacy outstayed their spiritual well being for their the, for their, you know, connection with God. So, the two hungry wolves will not cause more damage than your keenness eagerness, greed for money and status.
The prophets are also told us that the son of Adam would die movement. I don't know what
young mother with a woman who has
one man
that the son of Adam
When we can see nine and two things will stay youthful,
will stay youthful and him no matter how old they become, things will stay youthful the EM.
eagerness for longevity, and eagerness for ways. You know, we continue to want money, and we continue to want to live more. Even when we have sicknesses. Whatever it is, we're suffering, we can send you most of us at least, continue to want to live more. That is a pencil in
Pensacola, Panama. That's why the normal time Rahim Allah said two things got us it got us out of paradise. And we can go back and did we get them up? These are the two things that got us out of paradise. You know, Paula, Adam will recall last year sheduled quality or multi layer below it please set adequate, should they not take you off the tree of what eternity
could follow eternity that's one thing that we are most interested in, when working lab lab and possessions you know, or the
wealth that were not balanced or possessions
or dominion
that will not vanish. So these are the two things that got us on the paradise. And these are the two things that we ought to give up to take our heart to be able to go back to paradise.
Then, after this story, we will come to you know and then certainly Allah subhanaw taala.
In this segment between the trial of wills and the following trial, which is the trial acknowledge that we will come to right now, in the significant in the trial of welfare trial of knowledge, Allah subhanaw taala reminds us of different things that have been on duty on LPF solid federal law because our favorite organizations developed on their bodies. And then Allah subhanaw taala tells us about the day of judgment that all of this went away and then you will be returned to us.
And then Allah subhanaw taala you know, just about you know that, that that complete change in the universal laws, the mountains will be sorted the blue bin
and the earth will be permanent. And we will resurrect all of them, we will gather all of them and we will leave no one behind.
And then Allah subhanaw taala tells us reminds us of life. And that's why this surah is is just a complete
roadmap blueprint to protect us from trials because it has a reminder, it has the it has basically the diagnosis and the treatment as the reminder about the causes of our ruin and how to overcome them.
So in you know, here in this segment, Allah subhanaw taala is reminding us about the beginning of our story with familial American sisters with the advent of Lisa kind of an attorney, Professor Powell
everyone I'm with Oriente earlier I'm in Louisville, nakoma huddle, which started running in about an hour. So And remember when we said to the melodica, to the angels Prostrate before them, so the O prostrated except for a bliss, he was from the gym. So he wickedly this obey the command of his board.
Do you then take him as
a protector or guardian or custodian, our friend
and his property do you then take him out of his progeny or his offspring as custodians
other than me, well, Nakamoto and they are your enemies. They are your enemies. Remember, remember the enmity of it please remember, this is promise or the least is threat.
That he will make us all misguided that he will cause us all to be become misguided.
So Allah subhanaw taala remind reminds us of the beginning and then they go back to the Day of Judgment again, and then the I have to go back to what
what some of you haven't even called the method localities and work for say in general, the poor and again, you know what, some of you have a prayer we have diversified in this plan of all similes and parables.
Are the people we have diversity
of all sympathies and parables for the people look out on Instagram, at first aid in general was the most
from the dispute of all things was the more sort of more prone to dispute or disputation argumentation in the normal things, Man does not want to listen and benefit man wants to listen to argue, wants to argue not even listen, just argue and you look at our social media
images. Why true?
Well, if you have an
equity method and cooling method or similes and parables, and
this is the beauty of a pearl by the way, you know, the perang can relate to us the most sort of
sophisticated philosophical lessons or answers in in a very simple language that will be accessible to all people, this is the egalitarian epistemology, you know, it is so egalitarian in in its avarice that it is made, that is the greatness that is, you know, you think that if the plan speaks in technical terminology, or philosophical terms, you know, people go to philosophy one, one a one or one or two, and they come out, you know, amazed
and sort of impressed,
you know, by the technicality that this difficulty of terms of technicality of the discussions, and all of that is not actually, that that's not the best thing. I'm not saying that it's wrong to learn this for certain people, you know, that are sort of what grounded in their the and and they have the proper understanding of propriety, and certainly, and all of that stuff. But
oftentimes, these are contradictory concepts, the fact that, that all of these concepts are contradictory concepts, and people have the linguistic or the vernacular, or the linguistic,
sort of complexity or cleverness, to defend contradictory con, assets, you know, the Sophists in the history, they were able to prove everything and opposite, because of their, you know, their resourcefulness,
the complexity of the language and so on, this is not the best thing, this is not, you know, guidance. In order for him to have the proper use language like this, this would have not been a book from God for humanity, the program used language that is, you know, that basically relates the sort of the most profound meanings, and the ultimate truth in a language that is accessible to all people through summaries and parables or things of that nature. So when we come now, you know, when we talk about this, the third trial now, which is Musa Kubla, we're basically given an answer to the problem of evil through semones and parables, and that's what we will do right now. So
moving to the third trial, Allah subhanaw taala said we've got a Muslim
man up behind me on the top of it, Musa cetera his boy servant, I will not give up until I reach the junction between the two cities, or carry on, you know, travel, you know, four years on them.
Why is it what's he doing? Why is he traveling? What is he looking forward?
He was looking forward and further. So, apparently, Musa alayhis salam was asked by his people who's the most knowledgeable of all people on earth. And he said, without getting sort of a clarification from God, he presumed you know,
you are tougher, this sort of execution is one of the greatest messengers is one of the five greatest but sin. You know, God wants you to
basically consulted God when he did not have certain knowledge.
Or it may, it was sad that he did not attribute the knowledge to God. So God wanted to tell him that I have given knowledge to other servants of mine that you are not aware of or that they have
have not given you as a source of the lesson and humbleness. At any rate, this is proven. Musa alayhis salam said this as recorded in the authentic traditions or you know from the Prophet sallallahu sallam was to answer his people, he saw that he was the most knowledgeable and Musa is greater than a covered by the weather. Musa is one of the five graders that we should all be comfortable with. Right? Who are the five grades?
The province has been number one and let me disagreed over and over to our, in our tradition, there is a disagreement over number two, and many scholars said Musa is number two, not Ibrahim. And certainly you know many of our scholars said he was number two. But at any rate, one of the five graders, many of our scholars said that he was the second you know
so almost half Alayhis Salam is greater than the other was an A B has a you know, many of our scholars it's it's an uncontroversial but from a for them to you know the stronger position
was gonna be a prophet because he was receiving knowledge directly from Allah subhanaw taala. So he was a prophet according to destroy the position.
But he was not a messenger. And he was not at the status of Musa Musa is the grater is the second best for let's not say it's second or third, one of the five best.
So Allah subhanaw taala wanted to show him that they wanted to teach him a lesson in humility and humbleness and wanted him to show humility to another servant of him. Because oftentimes, the hardest thing for us is to show your ability to your peers, you know, you find the find it's so easy to basically
kiss the hand of of an older man who's like, who has a great beer person. It's like, it's easy. But to show your military to your equal your peer, someone who's your age is much, much harder. And Allah subhanaw taala wanted him to show humility to someone who's even lower than his status.
That was the lesson. So, Allah subhanaw taala tells us
then
bumpy startup, so, when they reached so, he embarked on the trip on the journey, wanting to find out further he was told a little further you will find them further and at the junction of the two seas. So he continued he said I will travel until I get to the junction of the two seas or I'll travel for years until I get to a public. So then they
when they reach the junction of the two seas nasiha hotel now they forgot their fish. He had, you know, food for what like fish as food for for the journey and they forgot their fish certificates available from Bari Salah saga. So he slipped away and to cut scores into the sea, the fish, you know, came back to life and slipped away and took the scores into the sea.
Phillip Medina was up then, you know when they basically went beyond that that particular attraction
and Sabrina Hadassah, he said to his boy, bring this are late morning me.
Anyway, once we say like, but it was meant to be late morning, or bring us or late morning. We have certainly suffered much fatigue from this journey. And then he said
Sakura
Wait a second. Do you remember when we retired to the rock? finalists, eternal domains and you understood
what the other Sabina oval battery
I forgot the fish there. And it will it's only safe and that made me forget to forget to mention it.
And it took its course into the sea. Wonder one amazingly.
So Musa said to him, okay, good.
vatikam Hakuna
Matata, Musa said to him
because apparently Musa was told that when you lose the fish
That's where you will find the problem. So protect the other SAE my processor the follow their footprints back to the place where the left the fish
pointed out the minute regretting it and
let them know Mmm. So they found a servant of Our servants, we to whom we have given mercy from Us.
And we have taught him from our knowledge, knowledge from us, you know, we have taught him knowledge from us directly.
Tapioca Allah to Allah, many minima or lender of Musa said to him, may only follow you on the condition that you teach me after knowledge that you have been taught. That was the, you know, the knowledge of sound judgment, because Musa was told that he doesn't eat, you know, something was not given Sharia, that is greater than yours or anything, but go and learn from him about selling judgment, about you know, knowledge that he will have not learned or acquired
completely yet. So Musa goes to them in terms this is, this is the second best or the third best than humanity, saying to someone else,
May I follow you, you know, may I be here the cycles may I be or your student, your grade, anything, May I follow you, on the condition that you teach me you have that knowledge that you have been taught, and this is a lesson for all of us, you know, the ability to show your minutes the ability to learn, and you know, the underneath the talk about
you know, when when the older people report from the younger people, that is hurt the capacity to report the from someone younger than you is in itself and noble sorts of quality, you know that you will be able to sit and learn from someone who's younger than you can report the Hadith from someone who's younger than you.
Or learn the knowledge from someone anything. So Musa showed that humility to uncover and that is why, you know, the gates of this knowledge were open to him. Then he said to him,
Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah subhanaw taala, be a footballer, the father said to him, you with me, you're not going to have patience, you cannot have patience about something that you have no knowledge of, that you that don't have complete knowledge of perfectly encompassing knowledge. And that's completely important when we come to, you know, this discussion of the problem of evil and evil and all of these things. And why is there so much evil and suffering in this world?
Leftover of
you don't have in Congress in knowledge of this, you are the adult on the carpet. And the carpet maker made the beautiful design as the end on the carpet, you're seeing chaos? You know, like, are you able to see the design? Is the end able to see the design on the carpet? No, absolutely not. And that's the beautiful variable or example. You know, you're not, you're seeing chaos around you where you see, lots of things are not making any sense to you, but you aren't yet on the carpet, you are not the carpet maker, you don't see that design from sort of the top the bird's eye view, you don't you have no capacity to do this. You have no capacity chronologically, and you have no capacity, you
have no capacity in any sense, your faculties don't have the capacity to grasp all that knowledge. And you don't have the capacity to see the past. The sort of of the past eternity. The future of everything.
Okay, so London
said Saturday Donita hola sobre la Camera you will find me if Allah so Williams patient find me to be patient, Allah so is what I'm asking the camera and I will not solve any of your orders and then color is at the end. Okay, thank
you. If you follow me, then don't ask me about anything until I tell you about it. That's the condition. So most are great. And then from Paula Harper Iraqi with his affinity for Africa, Africa.
So they set out and until they you know,
found the ship
and they got on the strip. And then he tore
have like a hole into the ship
as almost as looking at this and he's like you know you made a hole into the ship to cause
the people to drown you have done something you know objectionable
and then is upward in economic capacity is opera Have I not said that you will not be able to patient yourself, you are not going to be patient. And most of that
lack of a degree Maliseet will not happen even every possible. You know, don't blame me so much for my forgetting. And don't cause me so much difficulty or going to be difficult to read. So I just forgot. Okay, so that's the first time I forgot.
He's Kampala from Hartford, Eva, Latvia, Lebanon,
Egypt, Poseidon nohcra. So the that they proceeded, they went on until they found a boy, is he and oftentimes I was just talking about this. Answer the question about this.
Oftentimes, the when people talk about, you know, the problem of evil, what comes to mind, and people have every right to sympathize with the anger with children, and to feel empathy for children. Perhaps this is human, this is absolutely fine. But what comes to mind when we when we think of the problem of evil as what
cancer and children, you know, go through like,
like an oncology Ward, in a hospital, pediatric oncology more than a hospital, that would be, you know, the place that would make people
most disturbed. So it is painful, and it causes anguish, of course. So it's interesting that the poor and mentioned the child here in this
photograph on the left, they have 11
reps. And
so they preceded them until they found a boy or the metal boy, he killed them.
So he's so loose, I said to him, you've killed
up your soul, that child that pure soul, without
without, you know, not in exchange for another so we're not in sauce in retribution and equal retribution. You have done something deplorable, lack of legitimacy and Naka, you have done something deplorable, like Musa can take it. I mean, he knows like, Well, this time is not forgiving, but he just couldn't take it.
So you have consolidated deplorable. And then and further now is becoming deliverable spatial to closer, because the first time he said, God, I had a couple in Toronto, spotty, Henri Asakura. This time you say, Hello, Happy laka Did I not say to you, you're not gonna be able to be patient. So I'm not blocking on CR sobre uses it. And then, you know, it's out on chain, but I have alongside me a couple of them in London.
So if I asked you about anything afterwards,
don't you know, don't keep my company, you know, you have gone like, you will be excused, you're excused, because that's my second time.
Basically, not honoring the condition, your condition. Okay. Then,
from Takahata, and other things, Go your way through and refer to the
customer.
So they perceive that they went on
to leave the region, the village, they asked the people of the village for food, and they refused to offer them any hospitality. And that during those times, that used to be huge.
Because people travel through the desert all the time. And if people you know, refuse to offer you as valatie
They're basically subjecting you to the mind. That's so they refuse to offer them anything. They were not hospitable with them farther than if you had an hour on your
order. They found a wall that was about to crumble or fall apart. And he restored that the father restored. So he said to him, how do you
aren't dead
you could have taken a payment for this they these people are stinking, miserly, they didn't want to give us food, you could have taken payments, because now we're, we're in trouble.
So the front and center him have an opera by neobanks I'm gonna be okay with that we developed a start up base over this is time for parting between near you, I will now tell you of the explanation of that. He had the patience.
And then he said to him, I'm gonna subpoena to forget nothing as
far as
medical be anything.
As for the ship, you know.
It used to be one to four people who used to work at sea, I wanted to cause a defect in the ship. And because behind them, there was a pirate king, a king, a pirate king, who was seasoned every good ship. It sounds tough enough, but the Trump has taught me every good ship by force. So he's taking every chip, I wanted to cause some damage in this ship. So that that pirate thing will not be interested in it. Then we'll have one more question and
13 was
asked for the boy, the boy you have wicked qualities, he was going to be a disbelieving wicked person, so he can use
his his parents were believers, and he was going to be a wicked disbeliever. So we want the Apostle Paul God to substitute for Islam, another child that is purer and more merciful and would be more merciful to them.
Keep in mind that if a child dies in their childhoods, the stronger position is that they will be in done
they will be intelligent. So at the end of the day, they were not used as a tool, because someone may say how just is it for the child to be used as a truth test to test their parents? Well, if he were used as a tool, he would be very thankful to have it and use it. Like any adult, any one of us, you know, knowing that they are guaranteed eternity and bliss, we would all wish to have died as children
because who has who has a guarantee of eternity and verse.
So, so he was
basically it's a win win for for the child and the parents in this case, and then he continued as well I'm gonna have to go for Canada, you will have many, many for Medina, as for the wall, which is the belongs to orphan boys in the city, and beneath that,
beneath that there was a treasure that is theirs
alcohol I believe that to get past the holidays, so that they so your North wanted them to reach their age of maturity. If the if the war crumbles, and the attempts to rebuild that the people of the village come and attempt to rebuild the demon Find the treasure. And these two orphans are still young. So they will take their wealth and you know, so you're going wanted them wanted them to reach the age of maturity before that treasure discovered.
Because their father used to be righteous. And you know, you know when I was
like a child when maybe I was like 11 years old, they heard the football guy shake up the committee he is a famous, popular chef in Egypt. How do you serve if you want life insurance, the best life insurance is this. You know, this is teaches you about best life insurance be of righteous, Allah will look after your kids after you. Allah sent Luciana father, a messenger and a prophet to basically
protect
the wealth of those children because their father was righteous.
So, then he said to him, I have not done any of this on my own accord.
That means that we will not have to stress over this the interpretation of the law which he had no patience.
Then we move on to the fourth trial now and I will come back to the third. You know, God may
The
Maybe Allah will talk about, you know, in talking about the property even maybe I'll leave this further questions and answers, but we can, we can now move on to the fourth supplier, which is the trial of power, the trial power and the charitable sovereignty. And that's the, you know the story of the company.
And then after the story of don't come in, because I should probably go back and talk about the problem even a little bit more, after the story of North Carolina was gonna, you know, wraps up that if it goes back to, you know,
the first, you know, instructions in this, in this chapter to remind us of the first two instructions. In this chapter, it wraps up the chapter by talking about the two groups, the disbelievers and the believers. And the last verses in the sewer, I will be in the medina article, they'll see news Euro, or the DfE. Hello, I want to have a wider pool of
power plants and for the chromatogram bureau de la vie Miss Lee, mother, the
canals are a part of the video,
what I wish would have been about the therapy I had. So
having confirmed and for those who knows Allah, those who believe that righteousness or the righteous leads, for them, they will be guardians of paradise as their abode and the resting place and their final place
called an ENFP. Lab want to hang out here whether to either end for eternity seeking nor transfer, lab one, because there will be no boredom. Keep in mind, we did more than a year in this life all the time. I mean, you know, when you get bored with everything, even luxury, you get bored of luxury.
Which is not good quality. By the way I went into the hospital.
More than is a it's about quality. I don't get more than my wife, as long as she is kind to me, I don't get bored on my deathbed, or my mount until
you know, it serves me I don't get bored of my clothes and sled as long as they are good for them is a bad quality. It's not a good quality, but we get bored of everything in this life. But the gentleman you know, eternity without any boredom. There will be you know less and pleasure for a forever without any more the last one on Howard Hey, why don't they see the signal transfer, because there is there is already a lot of you know, goodness that is changing for them that the signal transfer
column cannot
be we go back to the why that came out of Allah subhanaw taala the port, colloquium cannabichromene Not only can immature be a loving couple anthem for the
three mother saying that see, where to serve as in for writing the words of my Lord, the sea will be exhausted before the words from my garden will be exhausted, even if we bring
another seed as a supplement to it.
And then
finally, I will
say I am only a human being like you and that's, you know, this emphasis in the Quran all the time on the humanity of the Prophet. After humanity deviated with a previous messenger, a Salim salam ala Nabina have to defeat the humanity has deviated the legacy of the promises of someone was crystal clear. I'm only a human being and only a human being alone. Can
you highlight say I'm only human being like you, you highlight the difference? I received revelation. It's been it's revealed to me and then I have which is a huge difference. It makes sense, you know, on a different level, but it's going to be a huge difference. So you highlight it's revealed to me that you're more than one from I'm gonna have to recover or be so he who works for the return 20 His Lord or meeting with his Lord,
for the armor inside the home. Well I wish like the ability for a be had let him do righteousness and as pride no partners to his Lord, or you know to good to Allah subhanaw taala
and these are the two basically legs that Islam works on. righteousness, faith, faith
is the righteousness of a study that you know two verses before this in the Medina? Well, I'm gonna study hard. It's almost like this in the medina Well, I'm gonna study how it's always like this. It's email, Muhammad Asad Ali the man is
symbol x Malik faith is basically when we talk about you know, God, when when the prophecy was was asked to describe his lords, what was revealed,
he's told them who is your Lord made of gold said what titles color Allah will have the love salah, say Allah is One, Allah self sufficient, that's some of the
in itself is the description of our Lord. It is basically Euro so our Lord, that's the argument of contingency if you if you're familiar with this argument, everything in this light is caused is not self sufficient needs a cause, right to obvious everything in our oldest needs a cause. So, the cause needs a cause needs because there has to be
an uncaused cause are all causes, otherwise, it will be infinite regression and if there is infinite regression, there will be never anything existent at any time, if we go for like infinitely basic. So, there has to be a first that is self sufficient, that is uncrossed you know,
use like crystal clear terms, but of course not to use the huddle mover. So, there has to be uncaused cause it has to be a first cause and that is the self sufficient, who does not need a cause? And who does not need anyone? The necessary be
not the intelligent beings. So that is faith in Islam in God is very simple and Islamic faith is based on three pillars.
three or six
what are the 65655?
Minute equity? No, no, no. We're talking about faith here. We're not talking about we're not talking about Islam.
We're talking about faith
Okay, cover is number six. Okay, so Allah has angels in His books, His messengers, the final day.
Predestination, predestination, okay.
So why did I say three?
The Pope because Potter is a function of or derivation of quadra, Allah's power, Allah's omnipotence and omniscience. So brother comes with Allah.
Okay, so we have now five.
So why do you say three?
Because, you know, the three in the middle
can be combined.
Because there is a message, an angelic Messenger, and a human messenger. So it's profitable. It's messengers, which includes the message, and the two messengers that brought it to us. I mean, this is one way to think about it. It's God. It's the concept of prophethood. And it's resurrection. And even below the almond Africa, many times in the Quran, Allah talks only about the authority of
Allah, any of it if God and resurrection to believe, you know, in, in your origin, from God, and your return is to God. And so the call quality Magda on the safe one mercy, so the beginning the origin, that destiny and mercy which is the path that is the messenger said, that's the prophets. Allah sent down a message through an angelic and a human, for messenger to tell us about how to return to
so three, and then the hammer the solid
is built on two corners and has two conditions. The two corners are
righteous. These are the interior and exterior interior. That's the actions of the heart and exterior, the actions of the body and the target.
And then the two conditions are met.
sincerity and correctness adherence to the Sunnah of the Prophet sallahu wa salam sincerity, devotion to God and adherence to the prophets also has basically our deen in a nutshell. You know, Imam, Muhammad Saudi he met is three parts on a silo has two parts and to condition two corners, and two conditions, or fire stones and two conditions. And that's what you know how that the disorder brings us back to
the roadmap, the roadmap, that is why this surah was that's why the Prophet sallallahu sallam said about this surah that whoever leaves the store on Friday, how light would sign for them? Until next Friday, the light will shine for them until next Friday, because it it it tells us about you know, all of the dangers, tell us about the beginning. Tell us about the end it tells about the dangers. And the way it solves many problems for us, it addresses all the worst trials for us. And why is it? Why is there protection from
is it was also important from the prophets or someone who ever commits the first 10 verses of Surah to come to memory will be protected from a Patel the God is the greatest threat. So it's a mixture of tribes and this was all about trials and how to navigate the trials. And what is it that we want to hold on to
in navigating the trials? And most importantly, is
the words of Allah.
You know, the words of Allah.
Hands on Deck tab, well,
let's go well, here, they can Tabby from
Mindvalley muscle, you know,
and to look at a
problem and kind of get him out up being what I would lift the medulla
pulling the rug out from the Slocum you have like
so. So that's that's the beauty of this sore. And certainly there's much more to say. But I want you in your questions, because we didn't think I have enough time. Because I wanted to give you like a sort of the converse view,
sort of
picture of a portrait of Sora.
So we didn't talk in detail about the problem of evil. But we alluded to it when we talked about the story of saying the Mossad said the Father.
The one thing that we mentioned that we can learn from this story is that
you don't have a compass in knowledge, even in this world is never pure evil.
It there is a higher wisdom, you may or may not be able to
see it. But rest assured, have good thoughts of your Lord and rest assured that he has a higher wisdom in every evil that takes place. So let's focus on the problem of evil in our questions and answers. We'll call the other secular values.
Far such a beautiful and beneficial session
to talk about finally share for sharing the words of this stuff
