early on Bala Salah with him with this name. Welcome back to our

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42

second episode of our Quran journey I ask Allah Subhana Allah

00:00:42 --> 00:00:46

to grant us guidance to grant us clarity to grant us happiness

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

through the Quran. Allah Medina Quran and all Lena there'll be

00:00:49 --> 00:00:54

ample lubaina One Rasul Butina wa Jalla Hassan in our the habit whom

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57

in our movement, along with the kingdom and ournament of Siena,

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00

while in the middle of Quran imagine what is open Atilla

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03

whatever Quran Anna and lady will fall off in her Island. Where do

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08

As we discussed before, we're going to be journeying through the

00:01:08 --> 00:01:11

Quran from the lens of the CLR. So integrating the Quran with the

00:01:11 --> 00:01:16

Sierra together and looking at how the Companions themselves

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19

interacted with the Quran and how the tambourine interacted with the

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

Quran. So this is again a seed that is focused on the

00:01:22 --> 00:01:27

chronological development of the Sierra and the Quran inshallah

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30

Aska las Panatela, to make this a beneficial endeavor for all of us.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34

Now selenia now slanting GAVI betting, and formerly federally, I

00:03:08 --> 00:03:15

don't wanna dia, Santa, Zeb, Enya Kela was do the

00:03:19 --> 00:03:23

Surah Al Alana, before we begin with the solar, let's just share a

00:03:23 --> 00:03:26

quick reflection. I remember one of the earliest things that you

00:03:26 --> 00:03:31

know, my teachers and my father has mentioned to me, the Quran is

00:03:31 --> 00:03:36

like a vast desert, DESERT, not desert. The Quran is like a vast

00:03:36 --> 00:03:40

desert. Some people walk, and they look at this desert and they find

00:03:40 --> 00:03:45

that it's empty, we don't see anything, it's barren. So some

00:03:45 --> 00:03:49

people do that with the Quran itself, or within just ancient

00:03:49 --> 00:03:52

fables and tales that is not going to be in any shape or form

00:03:53 --> 00:03:57

relevant to the modern society in the modern time. So some people

00:03:57 --> 00:04:00

look at it as something that's abandoned and old and barren and

00:04:00 --> 00:04:02

useless and impractical.

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

Others will look at the desert and they will look at the surface they

00:04:06 --> 00:04:10

will scratch the surface and they will find you know, minerals and

00:04:10 --> 00:04:14

they will find other important things. Others will dig deeper and

00:04:14 --> 00:04:18

they will find rubies and sapphires. Others will dig deeper

00:04:18 --> 00:04:23

and they will find gold and they will find other ores. Others will

00:04:23 --> 00:04:27

dig even deeper and they will find oil and other rich resources and

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

others will dig deeper and will find diamonds. So the same thing

00:04:30 --> 00:04:34

with the Quran. It depends on how well you dig and how patient you

00:04:34 --> 00:04:37

are. And the person who comes in if you read the prophesied some

00:04:37 --> 00:04:42

university in some commentators will focus on the linguistic

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

aspect of the Quran because that's where they trained so they will

00:04:45 --> 00:04:48

come in and they will realize the profundity in the language of the

00:04:48 --> 00:04:53

Quran. Others who are trained in politics will come and realize wow

00:04:53 --> 00:04:57

the Quran is full of gems when it comes to our own political

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

ambitions and our own pull

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

Recall thinking and thought, others will come from a

00:05:03 --> 00:05:06

sociological training, will look at the Quran and say wow the Quran

00:05:06 --> 00:05:10

is full of gems and pointers and things that you can really

00:05:10 --> 00:05:13

appreciate from a zoological point of view, same thing from a

00:05:13 --> 00:05:16

psychological point of view from a biological point of view. And you

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

will come to realize that the Quran there are so many different

00:05:18 --> 00:05:22

layers and every one of us will extract from the Quran, that which

00:05:22 --> 00:05:25

Allah subhanaw taala allows us to do so depending on our own

00:05:25 --> 00:05:30

ambitions, our own knowledge, our own training, and of course, most

00:05:30 --> 00:05:35

importantly, how much sincerity we have. And so, we'll always find

00:05:35 --> 00:05:38

out you know, when when you teach the Quran, you see the baraka, you

00:05:38 --> 00:05:42

see the blessing in your own life. You see how it impacts you, it

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45

makes you lighter, it makes you happier, it makes you more

00:05:45 --> 00:05:49

encouraged, it makes you more excited to give back. Because

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52

Allah subhanaw taala, you know, calls this Quran rule Henneman

00:05:52 --> 00:05:56

Emelina. It's a, it's got a life of its own, it's a spirit of its

00:05:56 --> 00:05:59

own. It's alive, it interacts with you,

00:06:00 --> 00:06:04

with, with your mind, with your heart with your soul, it interacts

00:06:04 --> 00:06:08

with you on multiple, multiple layers. And inshallah we'll come

00:06:08 --> 00:06:13

to appreciate that together in the letter. All right, so let's let's

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

look at the screen here and Shala

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

hopefully you can see the screen

00:06:34 --> 00:06:35

just make a bigger

00:06:38 --> 00:06:39

site

00:06:45 --> 00:06:49

then hopefully can everybody see the screen? Does that come online?

00:06:49 --> 00:06:50

Perfect.

00:06:54 --> 00:06:58

So last time, we talked, we introduced the surah reintroduce

00:06:58 --> 00:07:01

the surah. A little bit, and today inshallah we're going to begin

00:07:01 --> 00:07:06

with the second we technically we did the first Surah first if we

00:07:06 --> 00:07:11

said if Bismillah beacon levy Holla Holla, Al Insana minallah,

00:07:12 --> 00:07:17

read in the Name of your Lord, who created, created what created

00:07:17 --> 00:07:21

everything created everything. First, we discussed that the word

00:07:21 --> 00:07:26

clearer and clearer doesn't just mean to read, it means to read, to

00:07:26 --> 00:07:31

recite, to spread, to remember to begin to share to speak on behalf

00:07:31 --> 00:07:35

of Allah subhanaw taala. And the notes are there for all of us to

00:07:35 --> 00:07:38

reflect and to read upon on your own time and Charlotte at dinner.

00:07:39 --> 00:07:42

And we said this Mirrabooka could mean read on behalf of you, Lord,

00:07:43 --> 00:07:46

or read with the assistance of your Lord, or read knowing that

00:07:46 --> 00:07:50

Allah Subhana Allah will show you every step of the way, and guide

00:07:50 --> 00:07:53

you every step of the way. And last time, just to add on to the

00:07:53 --> 00:07:56

reflections that we we shared a little bit last time. You know, if

00:07:56 --> 00:07:58

you look at the story of how the Prophet Muhammad SAW, send and

00:07:58 --> 00:08:02

receive revelation, we see the human aspect of Rasulullah

00:08:02 --> 00:08:05

sallallahu Sallam who see that he runs back to his wife. He's

00:08:05 --> 00:08:08

confused, he's worried he's wondering what's happening to me.

00:08:08 --> 00:08:12

What's going on? He's confused. So imagine when you're when you're

00:08:12 --> 00:08:16

reading the story of a fake prophet or a fake messenger who

00:08:16 --> 00:08:20

claims that they have received prophet hood from Allah, or who

00:08:20 --> 00:08:23

claims to be speaking on behalf of Allah. You see that the story is,

00:08:24 --> 00:08:28

it's very grand. It's very ambitious as well as if everything

00:08:28 --> 00:08:31

fell in place from the very beginning and the guy knew exactly

00:08:31 --> 00:08:34

what was happening. But with Rasul Allah Azza wa sallam, we see the

00:08:34 --> 00:08:37

humanity of Rasulullah sallallahu, we see the human aspect of

00:08:37 --> 00:08:40

Rasulullah, Salah, the he's confused, he goes to his wife, and

00:08:40 --> 00:08:42

he tells her I don't know what's happening to me, and she comforts

00:08:42 --> 00:08:45

him and she gives them that support. And she tells them by

00:08:45 --> 00:08:48

Allah, it doesn't matter, Allah, Allah will never disappoint you.

00:08:48 --> 00:08:51

Why? Because you are a person who's good to everybody around

00:08:51 --> 00:08:55

you. So we see that the story of Rasulullah Selim, from the very

00:08:55 --> 00:08:59

beginning, is a story of a human being, whom Allah Subhana Allah

00:08:59 --> 00:09:02

chooses as a messenger, and chooses to elevate. But from the

00:09:02 --> 00:09:05

very beginning, there's what there's lack of there's there's,

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08

there's there's not really complete, complete awareness of

00:09:08 --> 00:09:11

what's going on, that sometimes you could be really, really

00:09:11 --> 00:09:15

blessed, but you're not aware of that blessing yet. And it comes

00:09:15 --> 00:09:18

with time, that you come to really appreciate the blessing that Allah

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20

Subhan Allah has given you. So there's a lesson that we take from

00:09:20 --> 00:09:24

that. Sometimes we are privileged, we're wrapped and engulfed in

00:09:24 --> 00:09:27

blessings from Allah subhanaw taala. But we may not be aware of

00:09:27 --> 00:09:31

them yet, but things will be clear with time, things will be clear

00:09:31 --> 00:09:38

with time. Excellent. Now, if we begin today, Allah Subhana Allah

00:09:38 --> 00:09:44

says, in second Aya Hala, Al Insana Miniloc. He created the

00:09:44 --> 00:09:49

human being Al Insana, he Allah Hala, Al Insana created the human

00:09:49 --> 00:09:54

being from Allah aka from Allah. Recently there's been a discussion

00:09:54 --> 00:09:59

on what this term Allah means. What this term means. I actually

00:09:59 --> 00:09:59

received the

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

A message or a phone call recently from one of one of our colleagues,

00:10:05 --> 00:10:09

and he was wondering, I love doesn't really mean a blood clot,

00:10:09 --> 00:10:13

is the Quran supporting the idea that the human being is created

00:10:13 --> 00:10:17

from a blood clot because that existed in galenic. Medicine and

00:10:18 --> 00:10:22

other philosophers, Greek classical philosophers wrote about

00:10:22 --> 00:10:25

this. And it was obviously a mistake, you know, the assumed

00:10:25 --> 00:10:28

that the human being was created from a blood clot. So is it really

00:10:28 --> 00:10:31

that the Quran is making the claim or making the argument that the

00:10:31 --> 00:10:35

human being is is created from a blood clot, far from that, far

00:10:35 --> 00:10:39

from that, and here it may be beneficial, it may be beneficial,

00:10:39 --> 00:10:40

and let me just

00:10:41 --> 00:10:42

just through here,

00:10:43 --> 00:10:48

it may be beneficial to mention, listen to this carefully, it may

00:10:48 --> 00:10:52

be beneficial to mention that when ALLAH SubhanA, Allah uses words,

00:10:52 --> 00:10:57

those words have to make sense to the first primary audience of the

00:10:57 --> 00:11:01

Quran. So they have to make sense to the Arabs who are listening to

00:11:01 --> 00:11:05

the Quran. And they have to also make sense to every subsequent

00:11:05 --> 00:11:09

generation that is to come. So it has to be relevant to the 21st

00:11:09 --> 00:11:13

century thinker. And it has to make sense to the bedwin Arab

00:11:13 --> 00:11:16

who's living in the desert, listening to the Quran for the

00:11:16 --> 00:11:18

first time. And that's what makes the Quran very unique. If the

00:11:18 --> 00:11:22

Quran started to give this elaborate description of how the

00:11:22 --> 00:11:26

human comes to be, right, imagine the Quran were to give a full

00:11:26 --> 00:11:31

account from a neuro anatomy and a cellular biology point of view and

00:11:31 --> 00:11:34

evolutionary biology point of view. Well, it would be considered

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

at that time by the audience of the Quran at that time,

00:11:36 --> 00:11:38

irrelevant, like what are you talking about? We don't believe in

00:11:38 --> 00:11:41

any of this stuff. We've never seen it. So the Human Development

00:11:41 --> 00:11:44

has not reached a point where it's ready to fully understand the

00:11:44 --> 00:11:48

details of creation. So the Quran is going to be very specific in

00:11:48 --> 00:11:52

giving enough to encourage that journey and encourage the inquiry

00:11:53 --> 00:11:56

and it will continue to still be relevant. So ALLAH SubhanA, Allah

00:11:56 --> 00:11:58

says, follicle insert, I mean Allah, let's look at this as a

00:11:58 --> 00:12:02

good example of that. So what is the word that Hallak mean? The

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04

word Allah, let's look at the linguistic. So whenever we look at

00:12:04 --> 00:12:08

a word of the Quran, we have to go down to the basics, we begin first

00:12:08 --> 00:12:12

first layer with the linguistics, the word that alaka is often

00:12:12 --> 00:12:15

interpreted as a clot of blood. But that's not necessarily true,

00:12:16 --> 00:12:19

because I look and we'll explain why it came to be associated with

00:12:19 --> 00:12:23

that. The word I look literally means to come and distinct

00:12:23 --> 00:12:26

together. So it's something that is sticky. And that's why we call

00:12:26 --> 00:12:31

a relationship. In Arabic, ALA, AKA a relationship is called the

00:12:31 --> 00:12:35

Rila Appa, because it's one where you're attached. So it's an

00:12:35 --> 00:12:39

attachment, it's a sticky thing, it's something that sticks. And

00:12:39 --> 00:12:42

also, it is something that is suspended. It's something that is

00:12:42 --> 00:12:45

splendid like why Luca when someone is left hanging, or

00:12:45 --> 00:12:50

suspended as Allah Subhana Allah uses in the Quran to a wife whose

00:12:50 --> 00:12:54

relationships are not or whose emotional, and other

00:12:54 --> 00:12:57

responsibilities are not given to her what she's owed is not given

00:12:57 --> 00:13:00

to her by her husband. So she's called a Mohammed aka someone who

00:13:00 --> 00:13:03

is left hanging. And it's also associated with the with the word

00:13:03 --> 00:13:07

leech. It's also associated with the word leech, because a leech

00:13:07 --> 00:13:13

will literally stick onto you and take away or, or start consuming

00:13:13 --> 00:13:17

the resources that you have. So this is the linguistic meaning, it

00:13:17 --> 00:13:20

comes from the thing that means sticky, is to be sticky, to be

00:13:20 --> 00:13:25

suspended, to be attached to hang all of these things. So when the

00:13:25 --> 00:13:30

Arabs heard this, the earliest of us sitting, if you look at the

00:13:30 --> 00:13:33

earliest movers, sitting, and maybe if you're paying attention,

00:13:33 --> 00:13:35

Inshallah, to Allah will do will do a really interesting thing

00:13:35 --> 00:13:39

together. So when actually pull it up in sha Allah, later on,

00:13:39 --> 00:13:42

hopefully, we'll be able to pull it up. And what I want to do is I

00:13:42 --> 00:13:46

want to actually show you show you the, all the different methods

00:13:46 --> 00:13:49

soon, all the different of a pseudo they have written about the

00:13:49 --> 00:13:53

topic, from inshallah to Allah towards the end, hopefully to do

00:13:53 --> 00:13:56

this. But if you look at any Surah, if you look at any Surah,

00:13:56 --> 00:13:59

and you go through the Memphis saloon, you will see that,

00:14:00 --> 00:14:01

over time,

00:14:02 --> 00:14:05

over chronology over a chronological point of time,

00:14:05 --> 00:14:08

different things will become the focus in Tafseer.

00:14:09 --> 00:14:12

Maybe linguistic and then over time becomes biological, and then

00:14:12 --> 00:14:14

the biological becomes less interesting. So people switch to,

00:14:14 --> 00:14:18

you know, sociological, psychological, so everything has

00:14:18 --> 00:14:21

its orientation. But if you look at the earliest FSEOG, like, for

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23

example, McCarthy, and we'll talk about the problems with this

00:14:23 --> 00:14:27

stuff, see, later. But McCarthy, he mentions the word Anika

00:14:28 --> 00:14:33

literally means sperm. So for the envelopes, you can imagine when

00:14:33 --> 00:14:36

they're reading this, Allah created the human from Allah, what

00:14:36 --> 00:14:40

is Allah something sticky, a substance that is trivial, that

00:14:40 --> 00:14:45

seems to be trivial, as something that attaches some something that

00:14:45 --> 00:14:50

you know, attaches and then even cleaves, cleaves or breaks off or

00:14:50 --> 00:14:54

divides, those are all associated with the term. So for them,

00:14:54 --> 00:14:57

because attaching, cleaving, hanging, all of these things are

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

associated with the word so they assume that the word

00:15:00 --> 00:15:03

literally means sperm, something sticky, something that comes

00:15:03 --> 00:15:07

together or sticks. And then later on, they also said, it could refer

00:15:07 --> 00:15:13

to the execution that is released by the female. So the sexual

00:15:13 --> 00:15:17

executions, or the sexual cells that are released by the males and

00:15:17 --> 00:15:21

the females. Now, back then we didn't understand the concept of a

00:15:21 --> 00:15:24

cell. That's a very modern concept. So they were talking

00:15:24 --> 00:15:26

about it in the sense of secretions, that these are the

00:15:26 --> 00:15:30

things that are secreted. So in the minds of the classical

00:15:30 --> 00:15:33

scholars, from the very beginning, we see the scholars, the earliest

00:15:33 --> 00:15:36

commentators on the Quran, whether the writing on the Quran from

00:15:36 --> 00:15:39

historical point of view, from an axial point of view, those

00:15:39 --> 00:15:42

commentators are associating the term with something that is sticky

00:15:42 --> 00:15:47

as substance that hangs the man. Now later on, when the Muslims

00:15:47 --> 00:15:51

were reading, and coming into contact with galenic, medicine and

00:15:51 --> 00:15:55

other forms of medicine that existed at the time, they borrowed

00:15:55 --> 00:16:00

the idea that the human being comes from a blood a blood clot.

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

So they said, Oh, is a blood clot when the blood coagulates? Does it

00:16:03 --> 00:16:06

become sticky? Yes, so could be a blood clot, that's fine. So

00:16:06 --> 00:16:12

they're accepting and borrowing from Western medicine that was

00:16:12 --> 00:16:14

available to them at the time. And they're making sense of what

00:16:14 --> 00:16:17

they're reading based on that. It's kind of like when we read the

00:16:17 --> 00:16:19

Surah, when we read the iron,

00:16:20 --> 00:16:24

I would Amuro, our Marilena, CAFO and SML. What will Canada rot

00:16:24 --> 00:16:28

Confederate upon alguma? Do they not see that the earth and the

00:16:28 --> 00:16:32

heavens, everything that was existent was once one entity and

00:16:32 --> 00:16:37

that entity exploded explosively. And from that everything was

00:16:37 --> 00:16:41

created from water, everything was created. So when we read that

00:16:41 --> 00:16:43

we're like, wait a second as audience now living in the 21st

00:16:43 --> 00:16:48

century? We say that sounds a lot like the Big Bang. Now is the

00:16:48 --> 00:16:52

Quran say anything about the Big Bang? It's not. But is there room

00:16:52 --> 00:16:56

to super impose the Big Bang as a theory upon the AI, there is you

00:16:56 --> 00:16:59

could make a case for it could be strong or could not be. The idea

00:16:59 --> 00:17:04

here is that the Quranic text is suggestive, it is not a book of

00:17:04 --> 00:17:08

science, it's not that official biology. The idea from the very

00:17:08 --> 00:17:13

beginning is to make a point that that still holds true from a

00:17:13 --> 00:17:17

biological point of view. Because the one who created us is the same

00:17:17 --> 00:17:18

one who has revealed in the Quran there's no there's not going to be

00:17:18 --> 00:17:21

discrepancy between what Allah reveals to us in the form of text.

00:17:22 --> 00:17:25

And what Allah subhanaw taala sets in motion in the form of universal

00:17:25 --> 00:17:28

laws and biological constants. Does that make sense? So if you

00:17:28 --> 00:17:32

look back at the Halacha insert, I mean, if we're reading through the

00:17:32 --> 00:17:35

history of them for students, some of our students say that up here

00:17:35 --> 00:17:38

literally means a relationship. Allah Subhana Allah created the

00:17:38 --> 00:17:43

human being from a relationship from an attachment from a thing

00:17:43 --> 00:17:48

that hangs a substance that sticks so from sperm from the egg that

00:17:48 --> 00:17:52

the female releases and all of those meanings hold true. And

00:17:52 --> 00:17:55

actually if you look interestingly, if you look

00:17:55 --> 00:17:57

interestingly at the

00:18:25 --> 00:18:28

Oh, you cannot you cannot hear me when I now you can. Okay, perfect.

00:18:29 --> 00:18:32

Does that go ahead? May Allah bless you. So whenever I turn my

00:18:32 --> 00:18:34

section off, you're not able to hear finish Allah.

00:18:35 --> 00:18:37

So if you look, if you look again at the way that biology books

00:18:38 --> 00:18:41

describe the relationship with a fertilization is the fertilization

00:18:41 --> 00:18:46

happens in two main phases. In the first a sperm recognizes an egg

00:18:46 --> 00:18:50

sticks to its jelly like coating and strips to reveal parts of its

00:18:50 --> 00:18:54

cellular membrane. In the second phase, the cell membranes of the

00:18:54 --> 00:18:58

egg and the sperm cling together in an intimate embrace, before

00:18:58 --> 00:19:03

fusing to allow DNA to meet. Now from my perspective, when I'm

00:19:03 --> 00:19:06

reading this, and when I was studying, you know, neuroanatomy

00:19:06 --> 00:19:14

and, and, and biology and the way, the way the baby is formed,

00:19:14 --> 00:19:17

subhanAllah one word that comes to mind as well. One One thing that

00:19:17 --> 00:19:22

keeps popping up is what? Clinging, coming together sticking

00:19:22 --> 00:19:27

together, intimate embrace fusing, and all of those terms are

00:19:27 --> 00:19:29

associated with the word dialogue.

00:19:30 --> 00:19:34

So the Quranic description still holds true. Allah Subhana Allah

00:19:35 --> 00:19:37

gives us a word that still holds true and carries so much

00:19:37 --> 00:19:41

profundity in profundity in meaning to Nam, and that's really

00:19:41 --> 00:19:45

important to go back to the basics. So this is again, a very

00:19:45 --> 00:19:50

beautiful and amazing, incredible reference. But we're not going to

00:19:50 --> 00:19:54

make a big a big claim by saying, oh, you know, this is this is what

00:19:54 --> 00:19:57

the Quran is speaking about, from the very beginning of this how the

00:19:57 --> 00:19:59

Muslims earliest Muslims understood it.

00:20:00 --> 00:20:03

That's not important. That's not important. If we go back and we're

00:20:03 --> 00:20:06

honest and asking, how did the earliest Muslims understand, the

00:20:06 --> 00:20:09

earliest Muslims understood it as Allah subhana data is making a

00:20:09 --> 00:20:13

very simple reference that we are created from a very simple entity,

00:20:13 --> 00:20:18

a sticky entity that is small, that is trivial, and that most of

00:20:18 --> 00:20:22

us neglect to think about. And that small thing carries enough

00:20:22 --> 00:20:26

information, like a small little seed carries enough information to

00:20:26 --> 00:20:31

give rise to this big incredible being. That is the human being. So

00:20:31 --> 00:20:34

that's the point. When Allah subhana, Allah says pineapple

00:20:34 --> 00:20:37

inside I mean, I know, the biologists can say, Wow, that's

00:20:37 --> 00:20:39

really interesting. The philosopher can say, Wow, that's

00:20:39 --> 00:20:42

really interesting. They story and can go back and be like, I want to

00:20:42 --> 00:20:45

see how the word that Allah evolved in the mind of the reader

00:20:45 --> 00:20:48

of the Quran, throughout time and space, really interesting. But at

00:20:48 --> 00:20:52

the end of the day, the original audience of the Quran thought, the

00:20:52 --> 00:20:56

point here is to remind me that I'm so limited, that I am so

00:20:56 --> 00:21:01

small, that I was once a small little entity and a little sperm,

00:21:01 --> 00:21:06

a little egg. That's who I am. So how can I have this arrogance,

00:21:06 --> 00:21:09

because the the main focus of the surah, in the end is arrogance

00:21:09 --> 00:21:14

attacking this egoistic entitled attitude, demand. So the idea here

00:21:14 --> 00:21:19

is that we are reminded of our smallness and the smallness of our

00:21:19 --> 00:21:23

origin, the smallness of our origin. So those who say it's a

00:21:23 --> 00:21:27

demo demo live in German, it's a blood clot that is thick and

00:21:27 --> 00:21:31

sticky. They're referring to what they understood based on the

00:21:31 --> 00:21:34

knowledge that they had at the time. But the earliest earliest

00:21:34 --> 00:21:38

scholars, before the classical works and philosophies were

00:21:38 --> 00:21:42

brought into the Muslim world looked at this as a reference to

00:21:42 --> 00:21:48

the sperm or to the act of clinging or attaching of some

00:21:48 --> 00:21:50

time. Excellent. Does that make sense? I hope that's a good

00:21:50 --> 00:21:54

exercise in how we should be critical about the way that we see

00:21:55 --> 00:21:58

and read the ayat of the Quran, and also critical of what we hear

00:21:58 --> 00:22:01

but the act of the Quran because people will say, Oh, look, you're

00:22:01 --> 00:22:04

listening for students say it's a blood clot. See, you're just

00:22:04 --> 00:22:07

reading what's coming from classical, Greek and Roman

00:22:07 --> 00:22:11

philosophy. Calm down, relax. Let's look at the bigger picture

00:22:11 --> 00:22:11

for you.

00:22:13 --> 00:22:17

Allah subhanaw taala says it por la Bukal Aecon.

00:22:19 --> 00:22:23

This is the third eye if para la Bouken economic Koran in the

00:22:23 --> 00:22:28

Arabic word is associated with nobility and generosity, and

00:22:28 --> 00:22:31

honor. So Allah Subhana Allah is reminding Mohamed salah, and

00:22:31 --> 00:22:35

reminding the audiences of the Quran Read, read, read, continue

00:22:35 --> 00:22:35

reading

00:22:36 --> 00:22:41

and know that your Lord is the Most Generous. So even Mohammed,

00:22:41 --> 00:22:44

if you were to go moments of humiliation, know that Allah

00:22:44 --> 00:22:47

Subhana Allah is the most generous and the end he is going to honor

00:22:47 --> 00:22:50

you. And if you go through the highest moments of honor, know

00:22:50 --> 00:22:54

that at the end, Allah is the most honorable. So if you're the

00:22:54 --> 00:22:58

weakest moment in your life, your fallen, remember that Allah is the

00:22:58 --> 00:23:02

most honorable. So by connecting back to Allah, you can regain your

00:23:02 --> 00:23:05

honor. And if you're in a position where you're really honored, and

00:23:05 --> 00:23:07

people respect you, and people look at you with all this honor,

00:23:07 --> 00:23:11

don't let that deceive you because Allah Subhana Allah is the most

00:23:11 --> 00:23:14

honorable. So if you let the honor that people attribute to you,

00:23:14 --> 00:23:18

distract you from connecting to the most honorable, you have lost

00:23:18 --> 00:23:21

track of what is really, really important. So read on Mohamed

00:23:21 --> 00:23:25

salah, Marcellin and know that Allah Subhana Allah is the most

00:23:25 --> 00:23:29

honorable. So what is what is the connection? Or what Abu can

00:23:29 --> 00:23:33

economic Quran read recites, but know that you're not going to

00:23:33 --> 00:23:37

really see the world just based on your own intent to read. Honor is

00:23:37 --> 00:23:40

still from Allah. So if you want Allah to honor the way that you

00:23:40 --> 00:23:44

read reality, connect with him, saying, read, read, read, and know

00:23:44 --> 00:23:48

that at the end, it is Allah who is the most generous, most

00:23:48 --> 00:23:49

generous in the way that he's going to teach you in the way that

00:23:49 --> 00:23:51

he's going to allow you to see in the way that he's going to empower

00:23:51 --> 00:23:54

you to continue to read but know that Allah is the one who's going

00:23:54 --> 00:23:58

to bless your knowledge and bless your quest for knowledge. And

00:23:58 --> 00:24:00

Allah Subhana Allah if you look at the word Karim, when I put the

00:24:00 --> 00:24:03

Koran there when he earned him, and certainly we have honored the

00:24:03 --> 00:24:07

Children of Adam, Allah Subhana Allah says in the Quran in surah

00:24:07 --> 00:24:11

Al Baqarah with tabula where you are handed in Macomb Allah and

00:24:11 --> 00:24:14

have Taqwa of Allah and Allah Subhana Allah will teach you. So

00:24:14 --> 00:24:16

the idea here is to have humility in the way that you seek

00:24:16 --> 00:24:19

knowledge. And one of the most beautiful hadith of interview

00:24:19 --> 00:24:24

Salah sellin is the Hadith that is narrated by Ramana Mahato he says,

00:24:24 --> 00:24:28

I heard rasool Allah Azza wa Salam wa Hua where I heard Rama who

00:24:28 --> 00:24:32

Allah limber your pool Yeah Are you a nurse that while doctor in

00:24:32 --> 00:24:35

nice Amir to rasool Allah is Allah Allah Allah Allah sell me a pool

00:24:35 --> 00:24:40

mentor Waldo Allah hereafter Allah. I'm going to say oh people

00:24:40 --> 00:24:43

have humility because I heard rasool Allah wa salam saying,

00:24:43 --> 00:24:48

Whoever has humility with Allah, Allah who honor and reach them for

00:24:48 --> 00:24:53

Hua Fein FC sorry, we are uni nurse. Yeah, Alvin. So the way

00:24:53 --> 00:24:56

that he looks at himself the way that she looks at herself, I think

00:24:56 --> 00:24:59

of myself as small very small. I haven't done anything

00:25:00 --> 00:25:04

myself impression my impression of myself is that I am a small being.

00:25:04 --> 00:25:08

But in the eyes of people Allah will make you great in the eyes of

00:25:08 --> 00:25:13

people. Women take up Baroque wobble I will love was diligent,

00:25:13 --> 00:25:18

and whoever puts himself in a position where he's more grand

00:25:18 --> 00:25:21

than what he's entitled to, like, you're a small little student, but

00:25:21 --> 00:25:24

you pretend to be a big chef, or a big scholar, or you're a small

00:25:24 --> 00:25:28

little business person, but you buy a bigger house and a bigger

00:25:28 --> 00:25:31

car than what you can afford basically to give people the

00:25:31 --> 00:25:34

impression that you're greater than you really are. Right to get

00:25:34 --> 00:25:36

people that's what Cambodia is to give people the impression that

00:25:36 --> 00:25:38

you're greater than you really are. And with Allah subhanaw

00:25:38 --> 00:25:41

taala, to speak with Allah Subhana Allah in a way that like you don't

00:25:41 --> 00:25:45

really understand your position and you you your your self image

00:25:45 --> 00:25:49

of who you are in your own eyes is way too greater than what it

00:25:49 --> 00:25:51

should be. Right. So that's what the Kabbalah is. So Allah says,

00:25:51 --> 00:25:55

Whoever has that, well, but I will Allah who is eligible for her vi

00:25:55 --> 00:25:59

unit nurses have a goofy NFC career. So in the eyes of people,

00:25:59 --> 00:26:02

people see him or her as something very small and trivial, and

00:26:02 --> 00:26:05

someone that's very disgusting and very useless, but in his own eyes

00:26:05 --> 00:26:08

and her own eyes. While I'm so important, I'm so big, do you know

00:26:08 --> 00:26:11

what I did? So they always attribute that to themselves. And

00:26:11 --> 00:26:14

Allah Subhana Allah Allah actually mentioned in the Quran, that among

00:26:14 --> 00:26:18

the people that are most disliked by Allah subhanaw taala when you

00:26:18 --> 00:26:21

hear Munna and you will be mad, let me follow, they like to take

00:26:21 --> 00:26:24

credit for things that they have not done. So that's not a sign of

00:26:24 --> 00:26:27

someone that Allah Subhana Allah will honor and bless. You're

00:26:27 --> 00:26:30

working in a project and everybody's contributing and

00:26:30 --> 00:26:33

committing together but you want to take credit, oh, you know, the

00:26:33 --> 00:26:38

success is because of me know, a good, humble individual will

00:26:38 --> 00:26:41

always attribute the hair to Allah Subhana Allah and to the people

00:26:41 --> 00:26:43

around and that's someone that people will really appreciate,

00:26:43 --> 00:26:48

works behind the scenes supports. prods encourages the whole feeling

00:26:48 --> 00:26:51

of security, it can be used for what Fiat and unnecessary with NFC

00:26:51 --> 00:26:53

can be. It is not what we're looking for. We don't want to look

00:26:53 --> 00:26:56

at ourselves as grant but in the eyes of people, Allah subhanaw

00:26:56 --> 00:26:59

taala will humiliate us, right so Allah started as reminding us

00:27:00 --> 00:27:05

read, look, search, grow, empower. What a book is a Quran, because

00:27:05 --> 00:27:08

Allah is the one who's going to be most generous. Don't underestimate

00:27:08 --> 00:27:11

how much Allah can give you. Don't underestimate how much a las

00:27:11 --> 00:27:14

Panatela can empower you don't ever give up. Life is life is a

00:27:14 --> 00:27:17

struggle. Yes, there will be moments of difficulty Yes. But

00:27:17 --> 00:27:19

don't forget the honor of Allah Subhana Allah that Allah is the

00:27:19 --> 00:27:21

most honorable in the moments of difficulty. And in the moments of

00:27:21 --> 00:27:24

blessing and honor, he's the most honorable at the end of the day.

00:27:24 --> 00:27:29

But you and Lydia Allah lemma Buchanan read in the name of the

00:27:29 --> 00:27:34

one who taught by the pen. Here's another reference that is vague,

00:27:34 --> 00:27:38

it is vague. So there are ways that this could be read and the

00:27:38 --> 00:27:40

scholars will look at this in multiple ways. The first is that

00:27:40 --> 00:27:43

this is a reference to the column which is the written script,

00:27:44 --> 00:27:49

the written script, imagine if we did not have a way to communicate

00:27:49 --> 00:27:53

our thoughts through writing or descriptions. How else would we be

00:27:53 --> 00:27:55

able to transmit knowledge knowledge would end at the end of

00:27:55 --> 00:27:58

that generation. So imagine the ancient Egyptians whatever they

00:27:58 --> 00:28:01

learn, imagine they couldn't connect or transmit that knowledge

00:28:01 --> 00:28:04

to us. Our ability to progress and develop would have been very

00:28:04 --> 00:28:07

limited. So some of the commentators refer to this as L

00:28:07 --> 00:28:13

column meaning the written script the man for example, for example,

00:28:13 --> 00:28:17

Qatada says, Al pandemonium meeting mean Allah has no agenda,

00:28:17 --> 00:28:22

our women, Lola radical, Aamir Khan, Dean lamea, calm Dean, while

00:28:22 --> 00:28:27

I'm, while I'm your slew Aisha, the written script or the pen the

00:28:27 --> 00:28:32

ability and scribe is a big blessing from Allah. Without it,

00:28:32 --> 00:28:36

no religion, no religion would have been preserved or would have

00:28:36 --> 00:28:40

been established. And without it, no living structure, or living

00:28:40 --> 00:28:44

beings or form of life could have existed could have been

00:28:44 --> 00:28:48

functional. Like there's no function, there's really no social

00:28:48 --> 00:28:52

structure or or living structures, constructions would not be

00:28:52 --> 00:28:57

possible without the gift of the gift of writing, writing the man

00:28:57 --> 00:29:01

also so it's writing. Others say it's the preservation of

00:29:01 --> 00:29:04

knowledge. And then the middle column is a reference to the

00:29:04 --> 00:29:07

preservation of knowledge. And then Imam Shafi has his famous

00:29:07 --> 00:29:10

quote, in which he says, an early Musashi dunwell kita. But to call

00:29:10 --> 00:29:13

you do who by you, so you would like a big, burly, wealthy,

00:29:14 --> 00:29:18

feminine hammock at the end to see there was a little weather took

00:29:19 --> 00:29:24

banal, holler up bah, bah, which means knowledge is like hunting a

00:29:24 --> 00:29:30

hunted game. And writing is what keeps it firmly bound tie by ETSU

00:29:30 --> 00:29:35

that goes by your what you hunt, to the secure mountains, because

00:29:35 --> 00:29:40

it is foolish to catch a deer. And until leave it alone in the wild.

00:29:40 --> 00:29:43

You caught the deer that you're going to let it be no you know, so

00:29:43 --> 00:29:47

whatever, you know, whatever you learn, write it down, write it

00:29:47 --> 00:29:51

down. And this is again referring to an learnable column it is Allah

00:29:51 --> 00:29:55

who taught through our ability to read and spread and teach and

00:29:55 --> 00:29:58

record. So all of that is associated with the column meaning

00:29:58 --> 00:29:59

the human pen

00:30:00 --> 00:30:03

A reference a metaphor for the ability to read and write and

00:30:03 --> 00:30:07

transmit knowledge. The column also some have said, it is the pen

00:30:07 --> 00:30:12

of the scholars, the judges and the kings. And Allah's Panatela

00:30:12 --> 00:30:16

takes an oath by this noon, while column one is thrown by the pen

00:30:16 --> 00:30:20

and that which they ascribe in lines through it, the man. So

00:30:20 --> 00:30:25

column also actually comes from the original word clean, which is

00:30:25 --> 00:30:28

the process of sharpening wood to make it pointed to be able to read

00:30:28 --> 00:30:31

and write. So this could be the written contract through which

00:30:31 --> 00:30:35

judges have the power to give and to issue verdicts through which

00:30:35 --> 00:30:39

scholars have the power to issue verdicts. Right, it's the process

00:30:39 --> 00:30:44

of writing. And that writing now is given weight and is given some

00:30:44 --> 00:30:49

form of power. But the fourth opinion is that econom actually

00:30:49 --> 00:30:52

means the divine pen, because Allah Subhana Allah we know

00:30:52 --> 00:30:56

according to the Hadith, ALLAH SubhanA, Allah says, Musa Selim

00:30:56 --> 00:30:59

says, well, actually, it's a reference it's given to even our

00:30:59 --> 00:31:03

best if numbers are the lionesses, in a world Mr. Hala cologne column

00:31:03 --> 00:31:07

for all Allahu octobe, the first thing that Allah created is the

00:31:07 --> 00:31:11

divine pen. And Allah subhana, Allah commanded it to write. So

00:31:11 --> 00:31:16

before everything that we know came to be Allah subhanaw taala

00:31:16 --> 00:31:22

had already a written a written account of what would happen. Now

00:31:22 --> 00:31:26

this is, this is a it's a tough one. And the concept of Kedah, the

00:31:26 --> 00:31:30

concept of God is very difficult to kind of understand, and maybe

00:31:30 --> 00:31:33

now is not the time to delve in too deeply. But one of the ways

00:31:33 --> 00:31:38

that young young students, you know, some of my young students

00:31:38 --> 00:31:41

when, when they asked me, how is it that ALLAH SubhanA, Allah knows

00:31:41 --> 00:31:43

what we're going to do before we do it? And how does he have a

00:31:43 --> 00:31:47

written account of that before it actually took place? And if he has

00:31:47 --> 00:31:50

a written account, then isn't he aware of what we're going to do?

00:31:50 --> 00:31:53

So how can you punish us for something that is the you know,

00:31:53 --> 00:31:56

it's it's a difficult topic to grasp, but the way to understand

00:31:56 --> 00:32:00

it, imagine, imagine, Allah Subhana Allah, or you can imagine

00:32:00 --> 00:32:03

a las Panatela, of course, but imagine Allah subhanaw taala,

00:32:03 --> 00:32:07

being in a position where he is not limited or bound by anything

00:32:07 --> 00:32:10

that you created, Allah said that by necessity, he's the creator. So

00:32:10 --> 00:32:13

he's not bound by any of his creation, whether physical or

00:32:13 --> 00:32:18

abstract. So time, for example, is a construct in our mind. Time is a

00:32:18 --> 00:32:23

construct in our mind, that is limited by or limiting us as human

00:32:23 --> 00:32:26

beings, we're limited by time, I can exist. Now, I may not exist in

00:32:26 --> 00:32:29

the future, but Allah is not limited by time, he is able to

00:32:29 --> 00:32:33

access any moment in time, he is able to, he's not limited in his

00:32:33 --> 00:32:36

knowledge and in his scope, we are limited by time and space, Allah

00:32:36 --> 00:32:39

Subhana Allah may occupy a space in a way that fits his Majesty,

00:32:39 --> 00:32:43

how we know Allahu Allah them how to them, we know he might occupy a

00:32:43 --> 00:32:46

position where he's not limited by the occupation and limited by that

00:32:46 --> 00:32:49

position. So Allah subhanaw taala, because it's not limited by time

00:32:49 --> 00:32:55

or space, everything that happened or happens or is happening, it's

00:32:55 --> 00:32:57

already happened. But Allah Subhana Allah said, you know, it's

00:32:57 --> 00:33:02

like when I'm, when I'm editing a video, I am watching, I'm putting

00:33:02 --> 00:33:06

these clips together. And I have a timeline of, you know, my video,

00:33:06 --> 00:33:09

I'm able to go back and I'm able to move forward, and I'm able to

00:33:09 --> 00:33:12

move and shuffle. Why, because I'm not limited by the timeline. I'm

00:33:12 --> 00:33:16

watching the timeline. So I'm outside of the timeline. Does that

00:33:16 --> 00:33:19

make sense? So I'm not limited by the timeline, I can go to the

00:33:19 --> 00:33:22

past, and I can go to the present. But if I'm a small little clip

00:33:22 --> 00:33:24

that is stuck in that time, I'm limited by that I don't have an

00:33:24 --> 00:33:27

autonomy of my own, I don't have a will of my own to them. So

00:33:27 --> 00:33:30

similarly, with Allah span, it's added. So another example is when

00:33:30 --> 00:33:34

I'm watching a movie, when I'm watching a soccer game, after the

00:33:34 --> 00:33:37

game took place, I have a record of the game, I can have a record

00:33:37 --> 00:33:39

of the game without influencing the game, I have a record of it a

00:33:39 --> 00:33:43

video form that is given to me after the game is over, because it

00:33:43 --> 00:33:46

was recorded. Now imagine if I'm if I'm not limited by time, I

00:33:46 --> 00:33:49

might be able to have access to that record, even before the game

00:33:49 --> 00:33:52

took place. But it's exactly what happened in the game. So it's not

00:33:52 --> 00:33:55

what I'm forcing the game to be. It's what happened in the game but

00:33:55 --> 00:33:58

have access to it before because I am not limited by time or space.

00:33:58 --> 00:34:01

That's just one of the ways and of course there are many logical

00:34:02 --> 00:34:05

rebuttals and conversations back and forth. But it's just a helpful

00:34:05 --> 00:34:09

little step to get us to think about how Allah Subhana Allah may

00:34:09 --> 00:34:14

be able to access time and access knowledge with without it

00:34:14 --> 00:34:17

necessarily happening yet from our point of view, but it's already

00:34:17 --> 00:34:21

happened for him because for him when failure Koon so Olivia

00:34:21 --> 00:34:24

unnamable column, it is He Allah who allows for teaching to

00:34:24 --> 00:34:28

happens, or for knowledge to happen or to be spread by the pen

00:34:28 --> 00:34:32

meaning the divine pen, meaning the will that has already been set

00:34:32 --> 00:34:36

in stone from way past, because it is an account of everything that

00:34:36 --> 00:34:38

Allah Subhana Allah willed to happen and everything that did

00:34:38 --> 00:34:41

happen, that did happen now that there is a big discussion, you

00:34:41 --> 00:34:45

might want to, you know, read a read upon it on your own, and

00:34:45 --> 00:34:47

inshallah we'll come back to it when we look in the eye and speak

00:34:47 --> 00:34:50

about the other and speak about the local muscle in general.

00:34:50 --> 00:34:55

Excellent. So let the unnamable FOLLOW ME ON level insert. Man.

00:34:55 --> 00:34:58

I'm Jana. This is the fifth year and it's here that the Prophet

00:34:58 --> 00:34:59

Muhammad Al Salam

00:35:00 --> 00:35:04

I received the very first five is that the very first five out of

00:35:04 --> 00:35:07

sorts that Allah were the first to review. Everything else came after

00:35:07 --> 00:35:11

the ending of the surah came after so Allah Subhana Allah says I'm an

00:35:11 --> 00:35:15

insane amount of Yharnam it is you created the human being, and it's

00:35:15 --> 00:35:18

you taught through the pen and that is you taught the human being

00:35:18 --> 00:35:22

what the human being knew not there's a lot of things that we

00:35:22 --> 00:35:25

don't know Allah Subhana Allah reminds us Allah Adam at a smell

00:35:25 --> 00:35:29

cooler is Allah Petro taught Adam the names of things how to name

00:35:29 --> 00:35:32

things language right woman will teach women that me luckily Allah

00:35:32 --> 00:35:35

and you've given you've received from knowledge very very little

00:35:36 --> 00:35:38

while lemma can and I'm talking tournament Allah speak so Salah

00:35:38 --> 00:35:41

salami says Why limit the amount of the content and what kind of

00:35:41 --> 00:35:44

formula they can only make it is He Allah Who taught you what you

00:35:44 --> 00:35:47

didn't know Muhammad and the knowledge that Allah is giving you

00:35:47 --> 00:35:50

was a big favor from Allah and the favors of Allah upon you, O

00:35:50 --> 00:35:54

Muhammad are many Allahumma salli wa sallim wa barik ala Muhammad

00:35:54 --> 00:35:57

and Allah candidate also says we're filled up pulizia Illuminati

00:35:58 --> 00:36:02

and above every person who knows is someone who truly knows but

00:36:02 --> 00:36:06

felt Coulier element and in and Allah subhanaw taala also tells us

00:36:06 --> 00:36:10

in another suit on the Quran, Allah Raja comb Minwoo Tonio

00:36:10 --> 00:36:14

multicom latch, alimony che Wa Alaikum wa sallam Sam our episode

00:36:14 --> 00:36:18

are with editor Malcolm dish Quran and Allah brought you out of the

00:36:18 --> 00:36:21

wombs of your mothers, you knew nothing at that time, but he gave

00:36:21 --> 00:36:25

you the hearing the sight and the heart so that you're able to learn

00:36:25 --> 00:36:27

and through that knowledge, you're able to give thanks to Allah

00:36:27 --> 00:36:31

subhanho wa taala. So there's an idea that the more we learn, the

00:36:31 --> 00:36:34

more we understand, the more we interact with reality, the more

00:36:34 --> 00:36:38

that we allow our curiosity to guide us to look for truth and to

00:36:38 --> 00:36:41

look for meaning and symbols and to construct and to interact with

00:36:41 --> 00:36:45

our reality, we will come to be more grateful of Allah Subhana

00:36:45 --> 00:36:48

Allah. So in Islam, it's not like the more that I know that more

00:36:48 --> 00:36:51

than a distant from Allah, Spanish Allah, the more that I know the

00:36:51 --> 00:36:54

more that are growing closer and connection with Allah Subhana

00:36:54 --> 00:36:56

Allah and closeness to on this planet on the map. Now, of course,

00:36:56 --> 00:37:00

that's going to depend on what I choose as the rules of my

00:37:00 --> 00:37:03

engagement with the world, if I choose to have a limited

00:37:03 --> 00:37:06

perspective from which I look at the world, and to limit my

00:37:06 --> 00:37:10

knowledge, quest to things that I can only see or things that I can

00:37:10 --> 00:37:15

only recognize empirically, that's by definition, a limitation that

00:37:15 --> 00:37:19

I've placed upon myself, then. So to be able to deconstruct any of

00:37:19 --> 00:37:22

those limitations and interact the world genuinely with the world

00:37:22 --> 00:37:26

genuinely, without any bias is going to be a difficult process.

00:37:26 --> 00:37:30

But it's one that liberates us. It's one that liberates us to

00:37:30 --> 00:37:34

ma'am, type. Quickly. Before we go. I'm just gonna look at some of

00:37:34 --> 00:37:35

the comments here.

00:37:36 --> 00:37:42

Ken, what's written be changed by dua? Yes, it so here's the thing,

00:37:42 --> 00:37:44

Sister, what are the asks a good question.

00:37:45 --> 00:37:49

A good question and that is can the Khadir be changed by what we

00:37:49 --> 00:37:53

know the Hadith larrondo como la da. So the Cabal the Kabbalah is

00:37:53 --> 00:37:58

the predestined thing that Allah has written. But the low hill

00:37:58 --> 00:38:01

mahoe the ultimate other is the record of everything that has

00:38:01 --> 00:38:05

happened. So there's a yearly Kedah, there's weekly Fedora,

00:38:05 --> 00:38:08

there's monthly padar. Allah Panatela, for example, reminds us

00:38:08 --> 00:38:14

in surah, in one of the Surah, one of the how I mean, he says, fee

00:38:14 --> 00:38:17

how you for Roku, on this night, you for Roku, Amazon hacking,

00:38:17 --> 00:38:21

there's a night some says letter to other on this day, whatever is

00:38:21 --> 00:38:25

meant to happen for you for the next year will be written and some

00:38:25 --> 00:38:27

of that will be able will be reversed through. That's why we

00:38:27 --> 00:38:30

make dua now a little further Oh Allah protect me from this and

00:38:30 --> 00:38:33

protect me from that. So the cada, what Allah has written for you

00:38:33 --> 00:38:36

specifically might be changed through dua, but the ultimate

00:38:36 --> 00:38:40

color which we discussed earlier in the low hanging fruit is a

00:38:40 --> 00:38:44

record of what ultimately happened and happens to you. So it takes

00:38:44 --> 00:38:48

into account the fact that you made dua for the scholar to be

00:38:48 --> 00:38:51

lessened or for this other to be removed. And then that is now a

00:38:51 --> 00:38:54

part of the new product that is given to you. But the ultimate

00:38:54 --> 00:38:57

account of what happens, the ultimate account of what happens

00:38:58 --> 00:39:00

is mentioned in the low hanging fruit because then I've had my

00:39:00 --> 00:39:04

full account includes all those changes that have taken place

00:39:04 --> 00:39:07

through the app, because as I mentioned, it is a record of

00:39:07 --> 00:39:09

everything that you did and everything that has happened to

00:39:09 --> 00:39:12

you eventually ultimately, taking into account all those little

00:39:12 --> 00:39:15

changes and that's why I said the discussion of the discussion of

00:39:15 --> 00:39:19

powder is a big one, but at least this gives you inshallah some tips

00:39:19 --> 00:39:22

and for anyone who wants to read more, explore more, but hopefully

00:39:22 --> 00:39:24

this at least give you the titles through which you're able to

00:39:24 --> 00:39:27

engage the discussion. Also Writing helps us organize thoughts

00:39:27 --> 00:39:30

Absolutely. Hasid May Allah bless you and give you the best and

00:39:30 --> 00:39:33

Julian Asha Farukh Ernie, may Allah bless you and give you

00:39:33 --> 00:39:38

generous for those who mean 20 minutes on word Subhanallah how

00:39:38 --> 00:39:41

amazing is the Quran? That is true? Yes, that is true. And we're

00:39:41 --> 00:39:44

going to be inshallah enjoying just that formula for the big size

00:39:44 --> 00:39:47

of the ASL and hamdulillah I'm happy to hear that you're

00:39:47 --> 00:39:50

enjoying. Even after birth the child is

00:39:51 --> 00:39:54

more tailored to the mother hooked around her arms. That is true.

00:39:54 --> 00:39:57

That is true. Excellent, excellent. May Allah bless you and

00:39:57 --> 00:39:59

give you Jennifer those perfect

00:40:01 --> 00:40:07

The zygote looks like a leech cloth but clearly not only not

00:40:07 --> 00:40:10

clearly only books like one not literally sorry the zygote looks

00:40:10 --> 00:40:15

like a leech like cloth but cleaning only in only books like

00:40:15 --> 00:40:19

one not sorry the same I'm not able to understand but I'm sure

00:40:19 --> 00:40:23

it's a it's a great it's a great message because I can go here and

00:40:23 --> 00:40:26

my law bless you all and give you Janet for those Baraka Luffy call

00:40:26 --> 00:40:28

may Allah bless you sister the center hope inshallah that it's

00:40:28 --> 00:40:33

beneficial, but the record may change and the recording of these

00:40:33 --> 00:40:37

changes of the record is also recorded. Read that a few times

00:40:37 --> 00:40:40

however the knowledge of Allah's Panatela is unchanged, safe to

00:40:40 --> 00:40:43

Zakka love it, hopefully be able to go back and inshallah read. I

00:40:43 --> 00:40:45

don't want to go into the details too much we'll have the whole

00:40:45 --> 00:40:49

journey together Inshallah, which were able to discuss the surah

00:40:49 --> 00:40:52

together, right, so this was the first section, this is the first

00:40:52 --> 00:40:55

section hopefully in the last 20 minutes, I'm able to give justice

00:40:55 --> 00:40:58

to the end of the surah and inshallah whatever we don't finish

00:40:58 --> 00:41:02

off. I will do a separate video, a third video in sha Allah,

00:41:02 --> 00:41:05

recapping, and then hopefully Inshallah, that will be before

00:41:05 --> 00:41:07

next Saturday, so at least we'll have the surah as a whole so

00:41:07 --> 00:41:10

whatever I don't finish today, Inshallah, or tonight, I'll do a

00:41:10 --> 00:41:13

separate video that's continuing as a part of the series in

00:41:13 --> 00:41:14

Charlottetown. Fine.

00:41:15 --> 00:41:20

So the first few 858 will receive by the Prophet Muhammad Salam in

00:41:20 --> 00:41:25

the Horn of Hara when were these ads review in Ramadan when in

00:41:25 --> 00:41:28

Ramadan in Laylat of product how do we know because the solar right

00:41:28 --> 00:41:33

after says in Zilla who feel a little colder Qadr one adelakun A

00:41:33 --> 00:41:35

little further Laila to the requirement official so in all

00:41:35 --> 00:41:39

levels of Qatar is the time through which the Quran or during

00:41:39 --> 00:41:42

which the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad wa salam Some

00:41:42 --> 00:41:46

say it's revealed from the roadmap or to the to the first heaven and

00:41:46 --> 00:41:49

then from there to also Lhasa Salam OTG Bri and then from from

00:41:50 --> 00:41:56

from from Rasulullah Selim to us so we find out about it also insha

00:41:56 --> 00:41:58

Allah and in Ramadan, we connect with the Quran as well.

00:41:59 --> 00:42:02

So this is these are the first five eight first five, eight.

00:42:02 --> 00:42:06

Excellent. Now Kela insana, layer four

00:42:07 --> 00:42:08

is sterner.

00:42:09 --> 00:42:13

So let's look at the second part of the surah. The second part of

00:42:13 --> 00:42:18

the surah highlights an example of somebody who, by thinking of

00:42:18 --> 00:42:22

themselves as self sufficient deviated away from the Quran

00:42:22 --> 00:42:26

deviated away from the message. Right? Before I get into that,

00:42:26 --> 00:42:30

sometimes it is a big move now among young people to be

00:42:30 --> 00:42:32

financially independent, oh, I want to be financially

00:42:32 --> 00:42:34

independent, I want to be in control of my hours, I want to be

00:42:34 --> 00:42:36

controlling my time I want to be controlling my energy, I don't

00:42:36 --> 00:42:40

want to have a boss, I don't want to do all these things. And yes,

00:42:40 --> 00:42:43

sometimes those who think that way, are genuine, and they really

00:42:43 --> 00:42:46

want the control over their own time to be able to give back and

00:42:46 --> 00:42:49

to be able to help and to be able to not be stuck in a nine to five

00:42:49 --> 00:42:53

and be limited by a trivial or a nominal kind of work that they're

00:42:53 --> 00:42:56

doing. Which you know, some people have hamdullah they have the

00:42:56 --> 00:42:58

capacity and the limited financially so they want to be

00:42:58 --> 00:43:02

able to give back. But many people they have this self aggrandizing

00:43:02 --> 00:43:05

image I don't want to be doing this little work I want to do

00:43:05 --> 00:43:08

something great. So sometimes it's out of arrogance and sometimes

00:43:08 --> 00:43:10

people want that because they just don't want anyone to tell them

00:43:10 --> 00:43:15

what to do. They don't want anyone to tell them what to do them. So

00:43:16 --> 00:43:21

here's an example of that killer in the internal airport. Governor

00:43:21 --> 00:43:26

the human being indeed has the nature to transgress when he or

00:43:26 --> 00:43:32

see when he or she sees himself or herself as self sufficient. So the

00:43:32 --> 00:43:35

man please join the WhatsApp group I will let you know inshallah to

00:43:35 --> 00:43:37

Allah when the video will be released to show Monday or when

00:43:37 --> 00:43:41

the video will happen. So let's look for example at what McCarthy

00:43:41 --> 00:43:45

says McArdle has one of the early one of the earliest commentaries

00:43:45 --> 00:43:48

on the Quran that we still have. Many people have issues with

00:43:48 --> 00:43:50

morality, and one of the reasons why they people have issues with

00:43:50 --> 00:43:55

RTL is McCarthy tends to be very biased in his opinions towards

00:43:56 --> 00:44:00

towards a specific orientation. We can get to that later. But more

00:44:00 --> 00:44:04

importantly, he tends to report narrations that are very bizarre,

00:44:04 --> 00:44:06

all the other nourishes that people have through books of

00:44:06 --> 00:44:09

Hadith. They're you know, they don't have that much detail more

00:44:09 --> 00:44:13

often stands alone in having a lot of details in the narrations which

00:44:13 --> 00:44:16

she reports and that's what some people like really what he's

00:44:16 --> 00:44:20

writing 120 years or 25 years after the Prophet Muhammad Salam

00:44:20 --> 00:44:23

migrated from Mecca to Medina. So what is he getting all these

00:44:23 --> 00:44:27

information? Maybe what he was doing is he was collecting

00:44:27 --> 00:44:30

information seeing other other had the field and people are focusing

00:44:30 --> 00:44:33

on you know, general pictures that I'm going to focus on the details.

00:44:33 --> 00:44:36

Or maybe he's adding in imagining some of these details later

00:44:36 --> 00:44:40

imagining some of these details later on, on and adding them into

00:44:40 --> 00:44:44

the island them onto the to the works, or maybe he is combining

00:44:44 --> 00:44:47

between finding sources that no one else has access to. And then

00:44:47 --> 00:44:52

combining but nonetheless, in sharing these detailed narrations

00:44:52 --> 00:44:57

we can at least get a sense of how Muslims early on 125 were

00:44:57 --> 00:44:59

imagining this is too

00:45:00 --> 00:45:00

have taken place.

00:45:02 --> 00:45:06

So in citing McCarthy, there could be sites in order to be I could be

00:45:06 --> 00:45:10

citing McCarthy I could be citing much more classical recognized,

00:45:10 --> 00:45:15

respected of a city. But in citing McCarthy, I'm doing this, you know

00:45:15 --> 00:45:18

specifically why because Makati is a standalone and giving us a lot

00:45:18 --> 00:45:21

of details whether they're imagined or true. At least we get

00:45:21 --> 00:45:24

a sense of how muscles are imagining this took place. So how

00:45:24 --> 00:45:27

is Abuja interacting with Rasulullah sallallahu. Now there's

00:45:27 --> 00:45:30

a big gap between the first five eight or so Salam goes to his wife

00:45:30 --> 00:45:34

cover me. After that Rasulullah Selim is given some time in which

00:45:34 --> 00:45:36

he's reflecting goes to water power and tells him you're a

00:45:36 --> 00:45:39

prophet. He doesn't know what to do with the information is, you

00:45:39 --> 00:45:42

know, really, really stressed out looking for a job you cannot find

00:45:42 --> 00:45:45

Jabril and then after a while, 40 days or so there's no revelation

00:45:45 --> 00:45:49

coming now he's wondering what's going on a while passes by and

00:45:49 --> 00:45:52

then the ending of the surah comes, some people say two years

00:45:52 --> 00:45:55

passed by some people say six months passed by. So technically,

00:45:55 --> 00:45:57

if we're going to go chronologically, we would wait a

00:45:57 --> 00:45:59

little bit and come back to the end of the surah but nonetheless,

00:45:59 --> 00:46:02

we're going to just finish the surah so at least we have the

00:46:02 --> 00:46:05

package surah and think and reflect upon that, and then

00:46:05 --> 00:46:07

inshallah hopefully we can get a better sense of exactly where this

00:46:08 --> 00:46:11

end of the surah falls but somebody will say between six

00:46:11 --> 00:46:14

months to a year to two years after the Prophet Muhammad said

00:46:14 --> 00:46:17

and received the revelation this part comes other suggestions could

00:46:17 --> 00:46:20

be early it could be a few months or so after Roswell Salim received

00:46:20 --> 00:46:24

the first five eight, but nonetheless, Allah Subhana Allah

00:46:24 --> 00:46:27

is reminding us killer in the Lisanna layer for what was stolen

00:46:27 --> 00:46:32

the human being transgressors when he or she sees himself as as what,

00:46:32 --> 00:46:36

as self sufficient. So let's look at the narration. McCarthy says

00:46:37 --> 00:46:40

McCarthy says here, Abu Jehanne Indonesia is what's being

00:46:40 --> 00:46:46

referenced. What can they saw the man in a shadow Yanni bottle of

00:46:46 --> 00:46:50

ecrb Well, he Moeraki be what you told me we shall all be fed Erica

00:46:50 --> 00:46:55

Fabiani, either an officer who is stubborn at work earn more 7

00:46:55 --> 00:46:59

billion right. So what does this mean? The eye refers to Abuja

00:46:59 --> 00:47:02

*, when he made a fortune, he would be extravagant in his

00:47:02 --> 00:47:06

clothing and in his rise and his food and drinks, and he would

00:47:06 --> 00:47:09

transgress he would think of himself as self sufficient

00:47:09 --> 00:47:14

sufficient, because of his affluence, needing no one else. So

00:47:14 --> 00:47:16

here's the reference from the Prophet saying that this is

00:47:16 --> 00:47:20

referring to Abu Jamal who would be very very arrogant when he

00:47:20 --> 00:47:24

would make money when he would have some money. Now he gives us

00:47:24 --> 00:47:27

an example of one the Prophet Mohammed Salim entered the cabin,

00:47:28 --> 00:47:31

and he found Abu Jamal placing a gold amulet on the God that he

00:47:31 --> 00:47:36

worships. Adding musk and saying, oh Hubel thank you for everything.

00:47:36 --> 00:47:38

For everything. There's a comforter and for you is the

00:47:38 --> 00:47:42

greatest reward I swear to you, I will make you the happiest I will

00:47:42 --> 00:47:46

make you happy. And this he said because the female camels that he

00:47:46 --> 00:47:52

owned, delivered 1000 Baby camels for him, calves for him that year.

00:47:52 --> 00:47:56

Also, a care event came from the Levant, the sham, profiting him

00:47:56 --> 00:48:01

with 10,000 withdrawals if everyone's God is 4.2 4.25 grams

00:48:01 --> 00:48:04

of causes the millions of dollars in modern sense that he made. So

00:48:04 --> 00:48:09

the caravan made him 10,000 Miss McLeod's of goal. So he dedicated

00:48:09 --> 00:48:14

he dedicated his gratitude to Hubel and idel standing 18 meters

00:48:14 --> 00:48:18

or sorry 18 arms length to all situated inside the cabin. So

00:48:18 --> 00:48:22

these are details who's giving us these details? McCarthy? What is

00:48:22 --> 00:48:25

your writing on getting 25 years after the hijab so it's still

00:48:25 --> 00:48:29

important information is a fully true Allah Rana. What is

00:48:29 --> 00:48:32

interesting to think about and to reflect Yes, it's interesting to

00:48:32 --> 00:48:35

think about. So we know here, for example, that huben is the God

00:48:35 --> 00:48:38

that we generally used to worship and Hobart was situated inside the

00:48:38 --> 00:48:42

Kaaba. The Prophet Muhammad Salam said, What a shame. Your Lord

00:48:42 --> 00:48:47

provides for you Abu JAL, but you think other than Him by Allah, He

00:48:47 --> 00:48:50

has not withheld anything from you. How long will you continue

00:48:50 --> 00:48:55

this for what a shame white hacker I'm me, my uncle. I invite you to

00:48:55 --> 00:48:58

Allah alone, for He is your Lord and He is the Lord of your

00:48:58 --> 00:49:02

forefathers. He has created you and he alone sustains you. If you

00:49:02 --> 00:49:05

follow me you shall attain the provisions of this lord and the

00:49:05 --> 00:49:09

next Abuja has responded by a lot and Allah Russa swearing by the

00:49:09 --> 00:49:12

gods that he worships. Right? So if you look at the RMB here and

00:49:12 --> 00:49:15

I've attached it, what letter was it was one of the head he will be

00:49:15 --> 00:49:21

here I will. Bonilla let inland 10 Tianmu or an article heavy for

00:49:21 --> 00:49:27

inward ticker guna one the taboo early Hatena less Veronica and I

00:49:27 --> 00:49:32

don't know sciatica a little for the Jamaica. Allah wa jika Elisa

00:49:32 --> 00:49:38

ole burnetii all your cool when it so imagine here what's happening

00:49:38 --> 00:49:41

and I have attached for you the notes here. Abuja responds by

00:49:41 --> 00:49:44

alert and Allah Russa and by the Lord of the structure meaning the

00:49:44 --> 00:49:48

Kaaba, if you don't stop what you're saying, and you don't and

00:49:48 --> 00:49:51

if I ever come and find you here again worshipping other than these

00:49:51 --> 00:49:55

deities, I will drag you by the forelock, do not see that these

00:49:55 --> 00:49:57

deities Latin roots are the daughters of Allah

00:49:59 --> 00:49:59

and the Prophet and

00:50:00 --> 00:50:04

Muslims response is how could you ever say anything and attribute

00:50:04 --> 00:50:05

anything like that to Allah?

00:50:06 --> 00:50:08

So whether this took place or not what we know is there was

00:50:08 --> 00:50:12

confrontation between Abu Jehan and Rasulullah Salah cell and that

00:50:12 --> 00:50:16

confrontation led to Rasulullah Selim saying my uncle worship

00:50:16 --> 00:50:20

Allah and Allah alone. And I will just said no way you hacker What

00:50:20 --> 00:50:23

are you saying get out of here Get out of my face. And if you don't

00:50:23 --> 00:50:26

stop, I will drag it by the forehead and I will throw it onto

00:50:26 --> 00:50:29

the ground. And we know for example, later on he would throw

00:50:29 --> 00:50:31

disgusting things on the Prophet Muhammad Salam is back when he

00:50:31 --> 00:50:35

would see the Prophet Muhammad Salam worshipping and, and and

00:50:35 --> 00:50:39

reading Quran around the Kaaba. So why is this important because

00:50:39 --> 00:50:43

often we get the idea that there was a private time in which the

00:50:43 --> 00:50:47

Prophet Muhammad Salam did not publicize the Dawa did not

00:50:47 --> 00:50:50

publicize the Dawa. But however, even during this private time he

00:50:50 --> 00:50:53

was to reach out to his uncles reach out to his family, reach out

00:50:53 --> 00:50:57

to everyone individually, and call them to Allah subhanaw taala based

00:50:57 --> 00:51:00

on what he knows, but this will happen one, this will happen after

00:51:00 --> 00:51:04

the revelation of Surah Mudassar, which makes it clear to him that

00:51:04 --> 00:51:08

now you have to inform him get up and warn, get up and teach. So now

00:51:08 --> 00:51:11

we're sorted, I love the first five, if he still doesn't know

00:51:11 --> 00:51:14

that he's a prophet, he's a messenger, right. And a prophet

00:51:14 --> 00:51:17

may be given knowledge about Allah subhanaw taala. But it's not

00:51:17 --> 00:51:19

instructed to get up and teach, whereas the messenger is

00:51:19 --> 00:51:22

instructed to get up and teach. Now of course, there are various

00:51:22 --> 00:51:24

other ways of defining prophets and messengers, some said, the two

00:51:24 --> 00:51:28

terms are interchangeable. But the the the opinion that I do follow

00:51:28 --> 00:51:32

is the prophet is given knowledge, but doesn't have to teach it, just

00:51:32 --> 00:51:35

to revise it or is given a new message like, for example,

00:51:36 --> 00:51:39

Lu pallisa, we don't know that he's given a message. So we say

00:51:39 --> 00:51:43

he's a prophet, for example, Yahoo Balasana, he's a prophet was he

00:51:43 --> 00:51:46

given a message specifically to teach? No, he's reviving a message

00:51:46 --> 00:51:49

that already exists, or he's teaching a bunch of ethics and,

00:51:49 --> 00:51:51

and good things that are lost nonetheless instructed him to

00:51:51 --> 00:51:54

teach but not a specific message, a specific book or a specific text

00:51:54 --> 00:51:57

that comes to mind that entire community. So messenger is given a

00:51:57 --> 00:52:01

message, a specific message with a mandate to teach that message.

00:52:01 --> 00:52:03

That's the difference in the Prophet and the messenger for your

00:52:03 --> 00:52:06

own information. Some other might say that Rasulillah Salam was a

00:52:06 --> 00:52:10

prophet for those few days that he received after he received the

00:52:10 --> 00:52:16

five heirs of salted Allah, after 40 days or so when he receives the

00:52:16 --> 00:52:18

remainder of surah. Tila or the beginning of sorrows of death,

00:52:18 --> 00:52:21

that's when it comes to realize that he's a messenger, because

00:52:21 --> 00:52:24

Allah says, Yeah, even when that fear comes under, and we'll talk

00:52:24 --> 00:52:27

about that will get a better sense of what's happened, the man, so

00:52:27 --> 00:52:31

killer in the internal elbow, I don't know who's done. So the

00:52:31 --> 00:52:35

person the human being, does this job again, and the word thaw. If

00:52:35 --> 00:52:39

you look at the Quran, in lemma boil, you know, Allah uses the

00:52:39 --> 00:52:44

word thought to refer to the water that rises above its container. So

00:52:44 --> 00:52:46

imagine there's water in this container or tea in this

00:52:46 --> 00:52:50

container. And if it starts pouring, and boiling and such

00:52:50 --> 00:52:53

pouring out of the container, that's totally an Breann. So it

00:52:53 --> 00:52:57

floods out. So the human being likes to do what likes to floods

00:52:57 --> 00:53:00

out of the boundaries, that he should be in the boundaries, like,

00:53:00 --> 00:53:02

you know, know your place. You know, when you say know your

00:53:02 --> 00:53:06

place, don't don't like don't get out of your place, stay in your

00:53:06 --> 00:53:08

lane, you know, when he says I'm gonna stay in your lane. So when

00:53:08 --> 00:53:10

does a person say he started going out of the lane and start saying

00:53:10 --> 00:53:13

things that they don't know, and start to, you know, kind of just

00:53:13 --> 00:53:17

too much. When do they start doing that? Allah says many times, when

00:53:17 --> 00:53:20

they see themselves as self sufficient, I don't need nobody, I

00:53:20 --> 00:53:24

got money or power. So the other night usually talk about many

00:53:24 --> 00:53:27

forms of Talia, they say to the end of the beauty, when it's

00:53:27 --> 00:53:29

yourself are so beautiful, I don't have to do anything, I can get

00:53:29 --> 00:53:33

away with anything, just by being beautiful, I can do the worst kind

00:53:33 --> 00:53:35

of thing. And then I won't get in trouble for it. Why? Because I'm

00:53:35 --> 00:53:38

so beautiful. That's one form of bullying. Right? We start you

00:53:38 --> 00:53:41

know, you start using your beauty to oppress others using your

00:53:41 --> 00:53:46

beauty as a form of as a form of power. Right? You use your your

00:53:46 --> 00:53:48

beauty as a form of dominating other people. And we live in a

00:53:48 --> 00:53:51

society that is very materialistic, and sometimes

00:53:51 --> 00:53:55

focuses on finding weaknesses and others by demonstrating constant

00:53:55 --> 00:54:00

beautiful displays that captivate and attract attention. And of

00:54:00 --> 00:54:03

course, it's the it's the it's a duty on both sides, for those who

00:54:03 --> 00:54:06

use that to be ethical in the sense of like, is this really

00:54:06 --> 00:54:09

ethical is really more to play on people's weaknesses, and also the

00:54:09 --> 00:54:12

person who's consuming that content to be ethical and to be

00:54:12 --> 00:54:15

honest and saying, Allah, Allah has asked me to lower my gaze and

00:54:15 --> 00:54:18

to be conscious of what I internalize. So it's on both

00:54:18 --> 00:54:21

sides, the person who's displaying has to be honest and saying, is

00:54:21 --> 00:54:24

this really good in terms of display? And the person consuming

00:54:24 --> 00:54:27

has to ask, is this good in consuming, so that's one form of

00:54:27 --> 00:54:30

the when, when a beauty another form of the Lian is the total

00:54:30 --> 00:54:34

amount of knowledge. Those who say, I have a lot of knowledge, I

00:54:34 --> 00:54:37

have a lot of skill and I can use my knowledge to blackmail. I can

00:54:37 --> 00:54:40

use my knowledge as leverage to haggle people or you want to know

00:54:40 --> 00:54:43

or pay me you know, those people who have used others for the sake

00:54:43 --> 00:54:45

of giving them knowledge and sometimes that knowledge may even

00:54:45 --> 00:54:49

be made up who give me $100,000 And I will tell you where the

00:54:50 --> 00:54:53

treasure that your ancestors hid, where it will get you information

00:54:53 --> 00:54:55

about, you know, the person that you're that is

00:54:56 --> 00:55:00

doing black magic on you and all that kind of stuff. Oh,

00:55:00 --> 00:55:02

There is a form of wolf that you see people who are very wealthy,

00:55:02 --> 00:55:03

politically

00:55:04 --> 00:55:08

positioned and privilege, they will begin to have to learn in

00:55:08 --> 00:55:11

enforcing their own doctrines and enforcing their own views upon

00:55:11 --> 00:55:14

others. And also to the end can happen because of people around

00:55:14 --> 00:55:19

you, constantly giving you good positive compliments. And that's

00:55:19 --> 00:55:22

why we have to be very careful with our compliments. And I say

00:55:22 --> 00:55:25

this to everybody, if you see someone that is doing good, and

00:55:25 --> 00:55:28

that is that is doing hair, know that there is a gift that was

00:55:28 --> 00:55:31

given to them, maybe because of a secret between them and a las

00:55:31 --> 00:55:33

Panatela. Maybe because they suffered earlier on in the lives,

00:55:34 --> 00:55:37

maybe because a test you don't know. So don't contribute to that

00:55:37 --> 00:55:40

person's test, by constantly giving them compliments.

00:55:42 --> 00:55:45

unconditionally, just like that, because that will weaken their

00:55:45 --> 00:55:48

connection with Allah subhanaw taala you have to be very careful

00:55:48 --> 00:55:51

with the words that you give, say them in the form of dua, Allah is

00:55:51 --> 00:55:53

using you and ask Allah to continue to protect you and to

00:55:53 --> 00:55:56

continue to use you. Allah has privileged you, Allah has blessed

00:55:56 --> 00:56:00

you it's a responsibility hold on tight. So I'm giving them a

00:56:00 --> 00:56:03

compliment, but in giving them the compliment. I'm also keeping them

00:56:03 --> 00:56:07

grounded. So they don't now Oh, I'm so good. Yeah, and, you know,

00:56:07 --> 00:56:09

sometimes, you will see, for example, some people they're still

00:56:09 --> 00:56:13

not, they still haven't developed a full, a false sense of self

00:56:13 --> 00:56:16

accountability. So for example, after they receive really, really

00:56:16 --> 00:56:19

good feedback from their supervisor at work, what happens,

00:56:19 --> 00:56:22

they start slacking off, oh, I paid my dues down to, you know,

00:56:22 --> 00:56:25

not done that time to not do what is right, but shouldn't be that

00:56:25 --> 00:56:28

way. So it's the person's responsibility, who's receiving

00:56:28 --> 00:56:31

the compliment to appreciate you know, people are trying their best

00:56:31 --> 00:56:34

to appreciate, I appreciate it, but not let it get to you. You're

00:56:34 --> 00:56:38

never going to be as good as your fans claim me to be. And you're

00:56:38 --> 00:56:41

never going to be as bad as your critics like you to be, or paint

00:56:41 --> 00:56:44

you to be. And Allah Subhana Allah knows you better than you know

00:56:44 --> 00:56:48

yourself. So keep going. Do the fair, avoid all the noise, whether

00:56:48 --> 00:56:51

good or negative, use the criticism that comes from people

00:56:51 --> 00:56:54

who really really care for you as an opportunity to grow. Yeah,

00:56:54 --> 00:56:58

exactly. This is good. Almost all of the time. They're not real and

00:56:59 --> 00:57:01

they're exaggerated. Yeah. So that, that is true. I like to

00:57:01 --> 00:57:04

always give people hope, no one when they you know, when they give

00:57:04 --> 00:57:07

compliments, you haven't done it, you have good intentions, but

00:57:07 --> 00:57:10

ignore and dismiss them right, ignore and dismiss them. And keep

00:57:10 --> 00:57:14

keep in mind that Allah Subhana Allah is the One who, who knows

00:57:14 --> 00:57:17

you better than you know yourself. Right? So Kela in an internal

00:57:17 --> 00:57:21

Yato, our rooster owner, who is Governor,

00:57:23 --> 00:57:28

excellent, and I give given you here a few examples of, of, you

00:57:28 --> 00:57:31

know, the forms of history, that Allah Subhana Allah mentions in

00:57:31 --> 00:57:34

the Quran that Allah subhanaw taala mentions in the Quran, and

00:57:34 --> 00:57:38

mentions in the in the Hadith. The Prophet Muhammad Salam used to

00:57:38 --> 00:57:41

make this beautiful dua, Allah humara Metallica Arrojo Falletta

00:57:41 --> 00:57:45

kill nila, let's see a thorough feta Iein was literally shut me

00:57:46 --> 00:57:47

either.

00:57:48 --> 00:57:53

Oh Allah I seek Your mercy. So leave me not on my own even for

00:57:53 --> 00:57:57

the glimpse of an eye and rectify all my affairs for there's no

00:57:57 --> 00:58:01

daddy besides you. This is why that we make to protect ourselves

00:58:01 --> 00:58:03

from our own lives. Because sometimes we like to think of

00:58:03 --> 00:58:06

ourselves as self sufficient. So one of the laws that we make to

00:58:06 --> 00:58:09

protect ourselves from that is this dua May Allah Subhana Allah

00:58:09 --> 00:58:14

bless you and give you Jana to further those Yeah, rob me and

00:58:14 --> 00:58:15

buy.

00:58:16 --> 00:58:23

In Leila, bigger Raja, indeed to your Lord is the final return to

00:58:23 --> 00:58:27

your Lord is the final return. So don't think of yourself as self

00:58:27 --> 00:58:30

sufficient. Because you always depend on a loss Panther. And you

00:58:30 --> 00:58:33

always need a loss panitan And to Allah subhanaw taala, you're

00:58:33 --> 00:58:36

going, you're on the journey back to Allah Subhana Allah. So how can

00:58:36 --> 00:58:39

you think of yourself as self sufficient as independent as

00:58:39 --> 00:58:44

independent? We are social beings by definition. And you know, we

00:58:44 --> 00:58:47

were always going to still need people. Like, for example, even if

00:58:47 --> 00:58:49

you're the greatest person in the world, how will you come to

00:58:49 --> 00:58:52

realize that you're the greatest person in the world without having

00:58:52 --> 00:58:53

people that tell you that?

00:58:55 --> 00:58:58

If you're the most generous person in the world, how will you be

00:58:58 --> 00:59:01

generous if there are no poor people to give money to? If you're

00:59:01 --> 00:59:04

the kindest person alive? How are we going to know what kindness is,

00:59:04 --> 00:59:06

is if ALLAH SubhanA did not create a system in which there is

00:59:06 --> 00:59:10

kindness and there's also evil in the world, as a result of people's

00:59:10 --> 00:59:15

own decisions, so you're always limited, then attached and down by

00:59:15 --> 00:59:18

system, ie the greatest politician needs people to govern. The

00:59:18 --> 00:59:21

greatest scientists needs what it's part of an entire enterprise.

00:59:21 --> 00:59:26

So you're always limited and down. Even physically how can I think

00:59:26 --> 00:59:28

without my brain but where's my brain come from? It's a gift from

00:59:28 --> 00:59:30

Allah Spinetta. How can I articulate without my tongue

00:59:30 --> 00:59:32

Where's where's the tongue from? So at the end of the day, ALLAH

00:59:32 --> 00:59:35

SubhanA, Allah is reminding us everything goes back to Allah in

00:59:35 --> 00:59:37

Arabic Raja to Allah is the ultimate return. If you look at

00:59:37 --> 00:59:41

your phone and you trace all the resources or trace everything,

00:59:41 --> 00:59:43

where does it come from, ultimately comes from Allah, where

00:59:43 --> 00:59:46

is ultimately going to Allah. So everything comes from Allah and

00:59:46 --> 00:59:51

going back to Allah. So what? Take you these, recognize your place,

00:59:52 --> 00:59:55

humble yourself. Sometimes we forget it's such a simple thing. A

00:59:55 --> 00:59:58

child you could have accomplished job Nicaea or you know, everything

00:59:58 --> 01:00:00

comes from Allah. I didn't know I've gone back to

01:00:00 --> 01:00:03

like it's such a simple concept, but sometimes in our day to day

01:00:03 --> 01:00:08

interactions, we forget, but it is six o'clock and we want to show

01:00:08 --> 01:00:11

our respect everybody's time. So what I will do in Charlotte this

01:00:11 --> 01:00:14

time is I will ask you members individually for those for your

01:00:14 --> 01:00:17

permission to bring the Halacha to a close, and then inshallah Tada I

01:00:17 --> 01:00:21

will be releasing a third video soon. The finishes the surah

01:00:21 --> 01:00:24

recaps everything in sha Allah to Allah gives you a little bit more

01:00:24 --> 01:00:26

information about the other move as soon said about the end of the

01:00:26 --> 01:00:30

surah contextualize a little bit and then in sha Allah to Allah

01:00:30 --> 01:00:34

talk about some Philippi perspectives on the Salah, because

01:00:34 --> 01:00:37

this was mentioned at the end of the solar is a form of Salah says

01:00:37 --> 01:00:40

that so what kind of Salah did the Companions pray? How did the salah

01:00:40 --> 01:00:43

change across some of the companions? What does my father

01:00:43 --> 01:00:46

say? What does it say? What does Mujahid say? What are these MOFA

01:00:46 --> 01:00:49

students say? And how do we contextualize all of that within

01:00:49 --> 01:00:52

the bigger picture of the serum does that come Allah Hi Ron, may

01:00:52 --> 01:00:55

Allah bless you ask Allah to bless you your families and giving them

01:00:55 --> 01:00:57

that for those keepers in your DUA. Subhanak along with the human

01:00:57 --> 01:01:01
