00:02:07 --> 00:02:14
			a lot. Hello. How y'all can learn
from Ian Tehila Anna's fam.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:23
			Leah, now slanting the bat in
hopefully I'm fairly at your own
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:31
			idea. Center. There's Zeb bernia
getting to play on who was Judah?
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			Well, Paul
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			Miller from the LA salatu salam
ala Rasulillah. While early he was
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:43
			so happy women want to so far
we've covered the first the first
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:48
			eight eight or so of the surah we
covered eight is of Surah Tlaloc.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			So let's go back and imagine that
we are in salah.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			Because what's the point of
learning all these reflections if
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:00
			we can recall them and have them
transform our experience when
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:05
			reciting the Quran and one
connecting with Allah subhanaw
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:09
			taala in the Salah dinner is that
fair? So let's try the inshallah
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			time. So imagine you're in the
Salah. You just finished al
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:17
			Fatiha. And now you are on your
way to reciting the surah you
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:21
			decide to recite Surah Al anak. So
you say
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:28
			a poor Bismil beacon levy Hall
Elko. What should be coming to
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			mind? What should you be
reflecting on? So I'm going back
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:35
			to everything that I've learned.
And I'm coming to realize, Read,
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:42
			Recite, think, share, articulate,
teach in the Name of your Lord,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			who created so imagine again,
going back and thinking about the
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:52
			surah I'm thinking about the idea.
I recite a poor Miss Mira beacon
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:59
			lady Hanako. Read recite. So
knowledge is very important. And
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			seeking knowledge and teaching
knowledge and learning so I learn
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:06
			so that I can empower myself. And
then I go on to teach what I've
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:11
			learned. So I'm imagining that I'm
asking Allah Subhana Allah to give
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			me that knowledge just like he
gave the Prophet Muhammad Salam
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:19
			knowledge that of course more more
vast and beyond anything that I
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:23
			can get. But the one who gave
rasool Allah settlement, commanded
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			him to teach can also give me can
also empower me. So that's what
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:31
			I'm thinking about eco Bismillah
because Allah the follow up, read
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			in the Name of your Lord, read on
behalf of your Lord, read with the
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:39
			help of your Lord, recite, share,
teach, empower, educate on behalf
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:44
			of the Lord, with the help of your
Lord who created Why does Allah
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:48
			say created? Because this is not
any Lord. It's not a you know,
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			medieval Lord. It's not a Lord in
the sense of the way the Arabs
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:55
			used to think of the idea of a
lord. This is the Lord who created
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			the uncaused cause, the beginning
of everything that we know
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			So again, if I'm in the soda, I'm
imagining this is the LORD that
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:07
			created me, and created everything
around me. So he's absolutely in
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:11
			control. He is not limited. He's
the one that limits everything and
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:15
			is not limited by anyone. So I'm
imagining again, a poor Bismil Rob
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:21
			Baker levy Hall and read recite in
the Name of your Lord who created
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			what did He create? Did he just
create me? Or the humans? No, He
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:29
			created everything. And then the
next area Hornell.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:37
			Me Nalco he's the one who created
the human from a iLok. And we said
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:42
			Allah could mean anything that
clings that attaches anything that
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:47
			sticks. And it refers to the
smallest substance, the sperm or
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:51
			the egg, from which we come, the
source from which we as human
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			beings come to be. So imagine
Allah has reminded me when I'm
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:59
			thinking about this in the Salah,
or when I'm reflecting Harlequin
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:06
			Nanako despite my successes,
despite my strength, despite my
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:10
			capacity, despite everything that
Allah Subhana Allah has given me
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:14
			despite everything that I've have,
or that I have, I'm still a small,
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:19
			little, a small little sperm or
egg, am a small little thing that
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22
			allows for that is created. So I
humble myself, I recognize where I
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:26
			come from. I recognize that yes,
Allah has given me column and
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			honor but that's not intrinsic. To
me, that's a gift that Allah
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			Subhana Allah gives me so hard on
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:38
			sand, I mean, Nanako remember, we
talked in quite some length, about
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			how we can, you know, think about
the word Allah and how it's
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			related to blood clots and how
it's, you know, related to modern
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:48
			embryology, we talked in a lot of
detail, do you have to bring that
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			up in the salon, when you're
thinking about the area, it could
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:56
			be helpful to remind you of maybe,
that signs and any philosophy, or
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			any perspective is going to be
limited to a time and a space,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			whereas ALLAH SubhanA, Allah has
words are unlimited. So I can have
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05
			that passing reflection and
passing thought. Then I go on to
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			the third area.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:14
			It bought up well book on, recite,
read, teach, reflect, share, read
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:18
			reality. So imagine Allah is
reminding me to be a reader, not
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:22
			to just be a passive consumer,
right, of ideas and intellect, but
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:26
			to read critically, and then teach
and share those ideas. So I read,
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:30
			I learned, I internalized I
process, and then I share all of
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:35
			those are associated with the word
echo. So if you're well off book,
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:43
			read, learn, teach, know, and know
that Allah your Lord is the Most
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:47
			Generous is the most honorable. So
as I'm learning, I'm getting a lot
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			of information. I'm getting a lot
of power through the information.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:54
			But Allah is more honorable. And
as I'm learning, as I'm teaching,
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			we're learning in the name of
Allah with the help of Allah, I
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			remember that if I have the most
honorable guiding that process,
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:04
			it'll be productive. It'll be
fruitful, it'll be beautiful. Now
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			who is this Lord that is most
honorable in my moments of
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09
			weakness, I have to remember,
Allah is honorable, so Allah can
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			lift me in my moments of strength,
Allah is honorable, Allah is
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:16
			greater than I am, so he can
humiliate me if I take this that
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			Allah has given me for granted. So
I don't take anything for granted.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22
			And I remember that Allah Subhana
Allah, Allah is the one that gives
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:26
			the honor and he's the one that
takes the honor. So in any moment,
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:29
			if I'm humiliated by somebody
else, and the honor is being
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			stripped away from me, remember
that Allah is more honorable than
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:35
			and more capable than the person
who is subjugated me and the
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:39
			person who is you don't allow me
to or subjected me to this
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:47
			oppression or injustice by you. We
move on to IFR and levy I lemma
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:51
			Bill column this Lord taught
through the pen. So imagine Allah
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54
			subhanaw taala is making so many
references here to the importance
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:58
			of knowledge teaching writing, we
said the pen could be the pen of
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01
			the local fools we said it could
be the pen of the scholars, the
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:05
			pen of the judges, the pen of
contracts, we said it could be the
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			cumulative culture, the writing
culture, the ability to transmit
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:12
			information. So here I'm sitting
or thinking about the ayat in my
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:16
			salah, as I'm standing in my
salah, thinking that everything
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			that I come to know is a blessing
from Allah Subhana Allah, because
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
			he's the one who set in motion,
the ability for us to learn. And
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:26
			he's the one who allowed us to
also collect information through
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			writing and teaching and sharing.
So Allah Subhana Allah is
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:34
			ultimately the one that deserves
the credit for my inquiry, of
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37
			knowledge and for my curiosity, so
imagine as I'm standing there, and
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			so I'm thinking, learning is a
very core part of who I am and
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43
			part of my identity, the first
word that Allah picks for me as an
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:46
			ummah, or for me as part of the
OMA Rasulullah Salah is to learn
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			to teach, to inquire, to be
curious, this is a part of my
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:53
			endeavor knowing Allah Subhana
Allah is a reality and world that
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			he's created is a way for me to
know Allah Subhana Allah to
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			connect with Allah Spanish Allah
to love Allah Subhana Allah so
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			knowledge is in
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			integral part of my mission and
mandate as a Muslim, just like it
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:08
			was an important, if not the most
important mandate and part of the
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:13
			Prophet Muhammad. So salams
message and Prophet Montez, ALLAH
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:21
			SubhanA, Allah reminds us, I live
in Santa Man am Yalom He Allah
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24
			taught the human what the human
knows not. So my knowledge is
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:27
			limited, Allah is unlimited. My
knowledge is contingent,
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:32
			everything but Allah Subhana Allah
is contingent, is limited, Allah
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:36
			has knowledge is absolute. So when
I connect with Allah Subhana Allah
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39
			genuinely I see ya Rob, I am
alone, I can't do this on my own,
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:43
			I'm limited in my capacity, but
through you I can. So through that
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:47
			submission, I'm able to learn and
I'm able to learn not just random
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			knowledge that's not going to be
of any benefit. I'm able to learn
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:54
			that which benefits and I'm able
to also acquire the ability to
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:58
			transmit the information and
translate it into action and to
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:01
			knowledge sharing, that is going
to be beneficial as well. And let
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:05
			the unnamable column and level in
Cerner, Merle and Jana, and then
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			now I move on to the sixth and I'm
reciting Cal
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:16
			Cerna Yato. Oh, who still own
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:21
			the human being. transgressors.
The human being goes beyond the
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:25
			limits that Allah has set when he
or she begins to see herself or
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:29
			himself as self sufficient. So I'm
sitting there I'm thinking, Yet
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:32
			Allah, maybe the things that I'm
asking for and making dua for
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:36
			maybe they will actually be my
weakness or my pitfall. Your Allah
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:40
			forgive me for asking for that
which may not be good for me and
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			give me that which is good for me.
And this, by the way, is the
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu.
To stop at the area, and to
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:49
			reflect and to think and to make
dua if it was something good, he
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:52
			would say Allah give it to me and
bless me with it, and give it to
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55
			my ummah and bless my Alma with
it. And if it's something that's
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58
			not so good, like an Arab agenda
or other, y'all will protect me
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			from it, and to Allah, protect my
ummah from it, and protect my
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			family, my beloved from it. So
again, we're going back to the A
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:09
			and reflecting on the area, and
making it relevant to the context
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:13
			that I'm living in. So going back
again, can let in the designer
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:18
			lotto or seven year Allah don't
make me among those who begin to
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:23
			shy away from learning shadow from
growing, who become complacent
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26
			when they see themselves as self
sufficient. And yet Allah make my
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:30
			journey to self sufficiency not be
a reason for me to put down others
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:34
			and be arrogant, but allow it for
me to be an opportunity to serve
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:38
			others genuinely, and to rise
above my own limitations so that I
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:42
			can empower and grow and give back
in your name. This mural began
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46
			this era how making those
connections in my mind and turning
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:50
			it into a conversation with ALLAH
SubhanA TTAN into a dialogue with
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:53
			Allah Spanish Allah because the
Quran is that it's Allah subhanaw
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:57
			taala is direct word,
communicating with me. So now I'm
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00
			taking it, thinking about it and
reflecting on what I was done on
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:04
			it. So I'm thinking also about the
example of Abuja, how he became so
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:07
			powerful and rich and how that led
him to thinking that he's much
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			much better than everybody else. I
don't need anybody. I'm good. I
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13
			don't want the attitude so you
Allah protect me from being Abuja
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:18
			protect me from being Abuja. And
then finally, the eighth area
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:22
			before we begin with the new
section for tonight, in ILA, I'll
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:27
			be Kuroda your Allah to use the
ultimate return. I say when I
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:30
			think about this to you, I finally
go back to you as the ultimate
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:34
			return. So as I'm going back to
Allah make my journey back to you
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:37
			easy, make it sweet, make my exit
out of this dunya and honorable
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:41
			one. Don't give me a sorrowful
exit out of this dunya allow me to
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:45
			have a legacy that is genuine.
Yola everything is going back to
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:48
			anyone, everything that I have
around me goes back to anywhere.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:51
			So whether it's my eyesight, my
eyesight, it's yours, whether it's
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:54
			my intellect, it's yours. So
everything that I have is yours.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:14:00
			So I have no choice but to accept
the fact that I am the ambassador,
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:04
			representative of you in your name
on your behalf. So your Allah
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:08
			allow me to live up to the
expectation up to that, up to that
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:11
			responsibility and up to that
weight as a Khalifa that you've
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:14
			chosen to place on this earth.
Y'all Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:17
			allow my journey in this dunya to
be an honorable one. So I'm going
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:21
			back to you Allah, and now my
journey to be beautiful. Now,
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:24
			before we begin with the new
section, let me share the screen
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:29
			here in sha Allah Allah. And let's
look at and now we're on page 40.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:32
			For those of you are following
with the notes were on page 40.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:36
			Talking about is certain that this
idea of self sufficiency because
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			Allah subhanaw taala gives us
power or gives us money or gives
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			us wealth.
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:45
			What the immune system said listen
to this carefully, he said, If the
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:49
			shoe were Emmylou maiasaura come
from Allah heavy.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:55
			Metal Saqqara, Sherif Ali Khan,
what I currently have sciatica,
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			and tuba suffered duniya Aleikum
camdeboo Silver
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:05
			But Allah McKenna publikum that
NFS who came out and came out and
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:09
			if I sue her, what will liquor
comb came in, like at home, and
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:13
			the abuse of Selim says, By Allah,
I am not worried about poverty.
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			When it comes to your struggles,
I'm not worried about poverty.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:20
			What I'm worried is that the dunya
would open itself up to you, and
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:24
			it would consume you and distract
you and destroy you like it
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:27
			consumed and distracted and
destroyed the people before you.
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:30
			And we talked about this, that
sometimes when Allah subhanaw
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
			taala gives you wealth and gives
you power and gives you some
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:38
			little privilege and fame. It ends
up breeding complacency, it ends
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:42
			up breeding a sense of No need. I
don't need anybody I'm good on my
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			own. So we ask Allah Subhana Allah
to protect us from that. Now
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:48
			there's another Hadith which is
very, very, very scary and it was
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:52
			salam. According to the hadith of
calm had been revealed. He says,
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:56
			Call the Samaritan Nabil salah,
sell me a hole in the liquid mud
		
00:15:56 --> 00:16:02
			in fitna. We're fixing to Matty
and man. For every nation, there's
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:06
			a tribulation and a test, and the
test for my ummah is well, the
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:09
			test for my ummah is wealth. So we
ask Allah subhanaw taala to
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:13
			protect us from that, imagine what
can be the pitfall of many of us,
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:15
			you know, before Allah Subhana
Allah blesses somebody with
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:19
			wealth. They are, you know,
miskeen, they are very easygoing,
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:22
			and they relax with everybody
else, and they don't expect too
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			much. They don't have a sense of
entitlement. And as soon as Allah
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			Subhana Allah gives you some
wealth, what do you start doing?
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			You start dealing with people in a
very arrogant and entitled way. So
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:35
			in the views of Salem warned us
from this from this internet, as
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:40
			as, as what as an individual and
as communities. So we have to be
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:43
			as communities as Muslims,
conscious and aware of what Allah
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:47
			Pantelis privileges, but not let
the privilege be a reason for us
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:51
			to be arrogant, is a good to be
self sufficient. Yes, it's good to
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:54
			be self sufficient. As a country,
as a nation, as a community as
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:57
			individuals, I want to be self
sufficient. I want to have enough
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:00
			to secure my family's needs.
Right? And man is not a bad thing.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:04
			And wealth is not a bad thing.
Privilege is not a bad thing. But
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:09
			as long as you have in your hand,
not in your heart. Dunya is a
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:13
			great slave. If you're in control,
through ALLAH SubhanA. Allah is
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:18
			blessing, but it's the worst kind
of master so dunya and wealth and
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:22
			money, great slave, if you remain
in control, but the minute it
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			controls you, then you feel then
you've lost everything. So the
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:29
			example of Abuja Here is somebody
who lost track of the big picture.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			Now, what's interesting about
Abuja, Hill, is his name is
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			actually I would have the honor
just to call him the father of
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:39
			wisdom, because he used to be
very, very respected, in his
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:44
			opinion, used to consultant in
many things. He wasn't the wisest
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:47
			among them, but he was wise enough
to be able to be given that Kunia
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			the father of wisdom, and imagine
what does he get coined in Islam?
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:55
			He gets coined as a Bucha as a
Bucha head. Why so when Allah
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:59
			Subhan, Allah says, Have you seen
the one who forbids as servant
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:03
			either than either salah or either
salah? Have you seen the one who
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:08
			forbids a slave of Allah when he
prays? So who's the one forbidding
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			and who's the one trying to pray,
but he's been forbidden from
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:13
			praying. So the one that has been
that is forbidding is Abu jet. And
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:18
			the one that is trying to pray is
Mohammed Salah Salem. So what's
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:21
			the story? What's the story? This
is the second part of Surah
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:25
			Delilah, and the abuse of selling
we used to love to pray in the
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:30
			mecca of Ibrahim, he used to pray
behind the Carnegie Brahim. And he
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:33
			also used to love to pray behind
between the palm of Ibrahim and
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:37
			the Blackstone and the Blackstone,
so our project comes and sees him
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			and he says, What are you doing?
Why are you putting your forehead
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:43
			to the ground? Like an animal like
an animal and if I see you doing
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:47
			it again, I will bust your head
with Iraq. Now of course in the
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:51
			abuse of Salam, you know, didn't
pay much attention to him left him
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			and then of course he went back
and continue praying next time
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:57
			that he was seen and the use of
selling was seen by Abuja, Abuja
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:01
			to make stairs like I want him and
now people saw and I can I can
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:04
			just let it be I have I have a
public image now to maintain. So
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07
			it goes back to an abuse of seven
ministers How dare you I want
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:10
			you're ready. What don't you
listen to me? Don't you know that
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:14
			I am one of the most notables you
know, Nadia, Allah says, Philea do
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:18
			an idea. Now do you mean the
people that will come to his call,
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:21
			like he calls in the come? Because
Don't you know that at the call at
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:24
			the, you know, the flick of or at
the snap of a finger, I can bring
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:27
			the whole city against you? How
dare you go against my will? So
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:32
			now becomes a question of ego, a
question of ego. So he's, he's,
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:35
			he's preventing somebody from
worshipping around the house of
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:39
			Allah subhanaw taala. Now, just to
pause here for a second and to
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:42
			take a step back, take a step back
to contextualize the surah because
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:46
			that's what we want to do.
Inshallah, before we finish, there
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:50
			are three main figures that you
need to really know when it comes
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:54
			to the Quran, and we'll come to
the ones who criticize Muslims and
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57
			criticize Rasulullah Salam to the
point where the Quran addresses
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			them specifically with direct
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			indirect mentions those three
individually, you need to remember
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:07
			Abu Lahab. And when he didn't in
lira, and Abu jihad, or as he was
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:10
			known, I would have been, I will
have was the uncle of Rasulullah
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:14
			sallallahu, Salah, Abu Lahab was
this very good looking guy,
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:17
			powerful, wealthy, but he was a
very cowardly person he was he was
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:21
			a coward. For example, embedded he
did not fight himself. What he did
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:25
			instead is he paid for others to
fight on his behalf. And he said,
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:28
			or you can imagine, he said, Why
risk my life if I can buy a few
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			others to go and fight on my
behalf. So he was wealthy, and he
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:34
			used his money to buy privilege
within the community. And what he
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:38
			didn't realize was a strategist
and we will come across and Walid
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:42
			will interact with it quite a bit
in terms of his personality, when
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:45
			we're talking about sorting with
depth, which is the next Surah to
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:48
			be revealed. So it will lead was a
strategy a strategist, and he
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51
			liked the idea of compromise, he
was be the person that would be
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:54
			brought in, to compromise the
situation to defuse to defuse the
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:57
			tension. And when that was the
kind of person who would be
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			brought in, you know, as the name
implies, and we'll talk about this
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			when we talk about certain
medicine, which is one of the
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:04
			earliest like right after certain
with death, it would have on the
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:07
			other side, he was like the father
of flame, some people see was the
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:11
			father of flame, because he had to
keep his cheeks got very red and
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			they looked like flames on his
face. And obviously, because he
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:17
			was quick to anger, and he was
quick to do not defuse the
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:20
			situation, but inflame a
situation. So he's the kind of guy
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:22
			who would come in to you were
fighting and he would actually
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:25
			make them fight even more. So he
was not the type of person to
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:28
			defuse the tension. He was the
type of person who leads to
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:32
			further tension now Abuja *,
the one we're talking about today,
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:37
			he was a warrior. So the Buddha
was a warrior hotheaded when he
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:40
			was killed in better, he was among
the earliest to be killed in
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			better. And when we're going
through the Quran, we'll talk
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:46
			about when that happens. He said,
listen to this carefully. He said,
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:51
			cut down my neck. Imagine don't
cut it here, cut it down here. So
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:55
			the whole head stays in place. So
if you know that I am the tribal
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			leader. So imagine if you're going
to try to kill me, no, no kill me,
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:02
			respect me even in my death. So
imagine that's the kind of that's
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:06
			the kind of personality that Abu
Jen had. So now he's confronting
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			Rasul Allah, this element is
saying, No, we don't want you to
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:11
			pray around the Kaaba. I don't
want to see you doing this. I
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			don't want to see you doing the
prostration. I don't want to see I
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:16
			don't want to see you doing any of
this. So pause for a second here.
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:20
			If you're critically listening to
the if you want to ask yourself,
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:24
			Okay, salted, Allah is the first
order to be revealed. Now, also
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:28
			Salam is praying, but we just we
thought that he just became a
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			prophet. He doesn't know that he's
a messenger yet. So when did he
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:33
			learn to pray? What's his prayer
look like? How is it different
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:38
			from Quraysh? Why, if Quraysh
agrees that this makin sanctuary
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:41
			the scab is a place where
everybody pray, why are they
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:44
			forbidding the hammer to set them
specifically from prayer? And what
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:47
			did the Prophet Muhammad Salem's
prayer look like? These are very
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:50
			important questions. These are
very important questions. Right.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:54
			So let's let's pause for a second
here and then come back to the
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:58
			story. Final Hatfield. hedger in
the Hunter says In fact, Halle
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:05
			Berry, they have a Gemma in a no
lemmya Kabul is Roy Salah Mfu LA.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:10
			Elana Khanna will call Amaroo be
mean Salah delayed mean right?
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:14
			It's a hadith whatever Herbie
Ileana Salah carrot na FUBA or
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:18
			curtaining Milada wa Rakata in the
Bellagio. So now when it comes to
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:23
			the solid itself, and half of says
a group of people say that Salah
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:27
			was not an obligation upon the
Prophet Mohammed Salah until the
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:31
			trip of ascension until the Salah
and Merillat, which happens much
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:35
			later, however, except there's one
exception. The exception was the
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:39
			salah of night, they used to have
some form of nightly prayer, that
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:44
			became an obligation, but there's
no real way of there was no limit
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:47
			to it, there was no specific
number you could do as many as you
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:50
			want it. So, so imagine there's
one group that says there was no
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:54
			Salah before the restaurant
Mirage, except the Salah, which
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:57
			they will do at night, and there
was no limit to the number.
		
00:23:57 --> 00:24:01
			However al-harbi says of Salah
Kerygma for Allah says no Salah
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:05
			was an obligation, and it was
mahfouda Rakata into rock as in
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:10
			the * or in the early morning,
work it Allah, Allah she, so two
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:14
			in the early morning and two in
the evening, whether Kirusha
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:18
			theory and Imam Shafi says and bow
the element from some of the
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:22
			scholars and masala to lay the
charisma for Allah, that at the
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:25
			very beginning, there was the
evening prayer that people are the
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			night prayer that people used to
do so at night they would do some
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:32
			prayer. And then that prayer
became an Suha. So Maroussi hot,
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:36
			we call it alpha Corrado Maratea
Salamina. So there was a specific
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39
			form early on of the prayer in
terms of numbers and units. And
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:44
			then after that, that became no
longer an obligation. And what
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:47
			Allah Subhana Allah mentions is
for kala omerta salamin, who in
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:51
			Surah three Museum and recite
whatever you can from the Quran,
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:56
			recite whatever you can in Salah
fissara from the bow the late what
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			was obligation then was just to
pray a part of the night
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			To Malusi hada Anika with Salawat
incomes and then after that, that
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:07
			became monsoon that became
abrogated. And what stayed was the
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:10
			five daily prayers. To summarize
to summarize the discussion, I'm
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:12
			sharing this for those of you who
want to go back to the sources,
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:16
			but to summarize the discussion,
there was some form of night
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:20
			prayer. They used to happen. There
was a specific number perhaps, or
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			maybe there was no specific
number, or maybe there was a
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:25
			specific number at the beginning.
And then after that, there was
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:30
			there was a move to make it easy
for people. So don't do 20 Don't
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:33
			do, you can't do that philosophy
that is keeping it open. So I
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:36
			thought, oh man to subdue as many
as you can at night. So imagine
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			there was a number that it became
open, you could do however many
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:42
			you want. And then those two or
whatever number you could do a
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:46
			night became then a precursor to
the next form of prayer, which is
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:49
			to pray something in the morning
and to pray something in the
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			evening. And then finally, the
five daily prayers became
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:55
			obligated upon the Prophet
Muhammad Salah salah, which takes
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:58
			us down to a question of what was
the form like what was the form
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:01
			like? We talked about mortality
and mortality and stuff. See it
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			earlier we said an art it is one
of those figures that is highly
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:08
			disputed. He is respected by some
like a chef who who accept some of
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			the things that he said about the
Quran, because he was one of the
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:16
			earliest to write about the Quran
125 150 Hijiri is very early on
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:20
			much much earlier than many other
sources. So Imam Shafi accepted
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:23
			what MacArthur has to say about
the Tafseer and the Quran, and
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:26
			about some history, especially
when he references individuals,
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:30
			however, many Maha Divina don't
accept mortality as the source
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:33
			because he has a tendency to bring
up things that no one else has
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:37
			heard about. So he's unique
narrations are a positive because
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:41
			they give you a lot of insight
could be true Allahu Annam. About
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:46
			life in Maccha life in in pre
Islamic Arabia and life during the
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:49
			Prophet Muhammad Salam is time,
but we also can't trust him fully
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			because he says all kinds of
things that nobody else reported
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:55
			in there it raises suspicion. So
what is McCarthy say? No party
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:59
			says when you look at the ending
of the surah Kela total and who
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:02
			was Judwaa Qatari don't listen to
Abuja and actually continue to
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:06
			pray and continue to be drawn
closer. What's mentioned is do
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:10
			Sajida so he says, Let unknown Can
we have the universe to God so
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:14
			Miranda sujood Allah rookery from
Nevada RUCO Bill pm if Academy of
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:18
			Pomona work lagoonal Miss LM in
early head to him, so Mr. Allah
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:22
			Who Tirana, me as you do? Well,
Kateri moussaka. Rasulillah Salam
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:26
			yes Judith from Mayor Catherine
Mayor poem federal law into Anna
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:29
			way where men do the harder for
the high level for her life,
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:32
			Allah, Allah, Allah Masha, Kenan
by the dedica. So I'm not on an
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:35
			abuse of Salam. And yet that will
clear me from my brokerage from me
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:40
			soon. Which means what which
means, according to cotton, Allah
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:43
			knows how accurate this is. But
it's interesting to mention, he
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:46
			says that the Arabs used to
actually pray by beginning with
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:49
			the sujood. So they would begin
with the sujood, then they would
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:52
			come back to the record, and then
they would come back to the record
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:55
			again, and then they would come
back. So sujood record and then
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:59
			get up. So the other way to man
and abuse Allah Selim was praying
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:03
			using some similar form. So
imagine the movie The King used to
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:05
			pray in this form. Why because
this is, again, the remnants of
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:08
			Ibrahim, they're still living
Abraham's legacy. So they still
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:11
			have some remnants left over of
some, some good things that
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:15
			they've actually inherited from
Ibrahim, that were not tainted. So
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:18
			the prayer form was still there.
But what they were doing is they
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:21
			were praying to the idols instead
of praying to Allah subhanaw
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:24
			taala. So in their business plan
is to pray in some similar form,
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:27
			you would begin with sudo and then
go back to Roku and then go back
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:30
			to standing in prayer. But Allah
Subhana Allah eventually when the
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:34
			five daily prayers were obligated,
first they were 50. Then they
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:37
			came, and they were reduced to
five with GB analysis and I'm
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:38
			being
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:42
			a witness on the journey of
ascension and an abuse of Salam
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:46
			comes back and now he has the
Salah, obligated Gibreel is the
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:49
			one who teaches him okay, this is
when you pray this Salah this when
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:52
			you pray that salah, and this is
the specific form that Allah
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:54
			subhanaw taala instructed you
instead of starting from seafood
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:58
			and going backwards, we're going
to begin with the standing then
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00
			little cooler than the seafood.
What is this? According it's
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:05
			according to Makati? Is it true?
Allah Subhana Allah knows best.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:08
			But did the Arabs pray but
prostrating to the ground? Some of
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:11
			them did. Some of them did not.
But the majority of evidence
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:15
			suggests that there was some form
of prayer, Allahu Allah, how that
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:18
			form look like but I'm just giving
you some information. So at least
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:20
			you have insight. You have some
images in your mind of what's
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:24
			going on in the back. But you
excellent. Now this takes us to
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:27
			another important discussion. And
that is a discussion of
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:33
			what's happens with Abuja, so
Abuja *. He is confronting
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:36
			Rasulullah Salallahu Salam, let's
go back to the notes. He's
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:40
			confronting Rasulillah Salam, and
he come he basically tells him if
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:44
			I see you doing this again, I
will, I will. I will. I will
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:48
			basically put you in trouble. I
will put some stress on you I will
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50
			hurt you. He warns him according
some narrations that I will
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:54
			basically choke you and another
situation I'll stab you from
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			behind Allahu Allah. But we get a
sense that there was some
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			confrontation Abuja refused to let
the Prophet Muhammad
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			Salim pray publicly, which takes
us to another important question.
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:04
			And that is,
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:08
			what was the Prophet Muhammad said
and preaching publicly? And when
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:11
			was he preaching privately? So we
just want to get a better sense of
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:15
			the chronal chronology. So first
Surah that is revealed as a Quran,
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:18
			the first five ayat of surah of
the Quran are revealed, then
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:22
			there's a 40 day period of no
revelation, some say the word 40
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:26
			is actually significant, or
signifies a large number, the
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:29
			Arabs used to use the word 40 to
refer to a large number. So some
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:32
			say that it was 40 days, then the
Prophet Muhammad Selim during
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:35
			those 40 days was looking, whereas
you breed that I make this stuff
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:39
			up, he was worried, eventually,
finally, after 40 days pass,
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:42
			whether literally or
metaphorically a large number of
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:45
			these paths, he goes, and he's
looking for jewelry, and he's
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:48
			looking for jewelry, and he hears
the voice of Gibreel, he hears the
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			word of the voice of this angel,
it looks to the right can find it
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:53
			looks to the left can find and
looks front of him behind them
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:56
			can't find it looks underneath can
find and find that he thinks to
		
00:30:56 --> 00:31:01
			look above and he sees Gibreel in
his magnificent form, with you
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:04
			know, sitting on some form of
throne and he's really taken
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:07
			aback. He's really shook. And he
is now really, really shocked. So
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:12
			he's really stressed, runs to his
house, says to Felicia cover me
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:15
			cover me again. He's really
really, you know, feeling that
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:19
			anxiety. And then finally Jabril
comes in some form. And he begins
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:22
			now to initiate him into messenger
Hood by revealing salt and
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:26
			Mudassar Yeah, even more depth. On
the end of the cab there was the
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:33
			Avoca photo here what Raja sajer
okay. Now, why was there this gap,
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:38
			this period, in Allah long story
made simple, this was preparation
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:41
			for revelation, there was a lot of
tension associated with receiving
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:43
			revelation. So ALLAH SubhanA,
Allah gives him some time to
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:46
			recover gives him some time to
reflect, give him some time to
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:51
			think about it. So now the stress
of Revelation is minimize when
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:57
			compared to the longing to finally
get closure and to finally meet
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:00
			Gibreel again. So the longing of
revelation now that there's a
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:03
			period of absence is greater than
the stress of Revelation. So it
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:07
			gives the Prophet Mohammed Salam
time to prepare. Alicia of course
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:10
			takes him to one time one aka
explains to him that you are
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:13
			indeed a messenger, a prophet,
were you indeed a prophet, and
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:17
			ALLAH SubhanA, Allah will continue
to give you instruction, it might
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:20
			be very difficult, but hold on,
and I would support you if I'm
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:27
			alive, when the people around you
betray them. Now, some will say in
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:31
			the straw, the main narrative, the
main narrative, is that there was
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:36
			a period of three years and in
this period, the dollar was
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:40
			private. The Prophet Muhammad
Selim did not publicize the
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:43
			dollar. So he would go from
individual to individual and he
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:46
			would call them to snap. So the
Prophet Muhammad Salam, one two,
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:50
			for example, Abu Bakr, and he
explained this lamp to him. He
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:53
			went of course his wife had Isha
became a Muslim. His own family
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:56
			became Muslims like his daughter
Xena, bro fire on mobile phone
		
00:32:56 --> 00:33:01
			ultimately became Muslims, his own
the slave that he was that was
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:04
			living with him in the house that
the Prophet Muhammad Salam adopted
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:08
			before adoption, became
impermissible by name like you
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:11
			cannot take the name or the
adoptee cannot take your name, but
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:13
			you can still have that
comfortable support they would
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:18
			give the Zaid who was the adopted
son of the Prophet Muhammad said
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:21
			I'm also became Muslim and then
Abu Bakr. When he became Muslim he
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:25
			invited both men and Zubaydah on
palha and sad ibn Abi Waqqas and
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:28
			number obey the announcement of
the mother wound Andromeda and now
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:33
			and Abu Salim and the outcome YBNL
Athan. So all in all, all in all,
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:39
			there were 40 men and one woman
who were Muslims after three
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:42
			years. So imagine the first three
years of Revelation, the first
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:47
			three years of Islam, public
discourse was not there. It was
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:53
			mainly private, mainly private, so
mainly private, and an abuse. I
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:57
			still am focused on calling people
individually privately one at a
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:00
			time, and we gave the names of
those who became Muslim. Among the
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:03
			earliest of children was olive
Nabi Saleh, who is living with the
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:06
			Prophet Muhammad Salam, the first
of women was hydia, the first of
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:10
			men aboubaker, some say Wanaka, as
we discussed earlier, and the
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:14
			first of slaves was were the first
of those who were slaves at the
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:18
			beginning, was a Zaid, who was the
adopted son of the Prophet
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:23
			Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wasallam. What happens next? One
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:27
			day, Sadie and Abby, what costs
was leading a group of Muslims in
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:30
			one of the street corners and one
of the private areas, private
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:34
			residences, then perhaps heard
them reciting leading some form of
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:37
			prayer publicly. So imagine some
form of Quran was being revealed
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:40
			during this period, and the
reading and the reciting. And
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:43
			they're being taught privately,
individually, individually,
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:46
			privately and individually. So the
courage came in and they were
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:48
			angry at sad What is this that
you're saying? What is going on
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:51
			here? They were a little worried
about what this would look like
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:55
			for that social political climate.
Now of course, sad got upset so
		
00:34:55 --> 00:35:00
			he, you know, defended himself and
in defending himself. He ended up
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:05
			A striking one of the kurush and
blood was shed No, no, no murder,
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:08
			no killing, but there was some
injury some blood poured out. So
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:11
			now courage took a stance that
there was no we're not going to
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:14
			tolerate any of this nonsense
publicly. You're now going to be
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:18
			forced to bring this to an end. So
the Prophet Muhammad Salim then
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:22
			had to meet privately and now
there are 40 or so people, where
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:26
			are they going to meet? So they
decided to find a meeting point
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:30
			and they met at Benu Alarcon
Benwell outcome, there was a house
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:33
			and the outcome was from below Mr.
Zuma wants to listen to this
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:37
			carefully because this is
important. Ben will outcome are
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:40
			from venomous zoom. They are the
ones that are responsible for
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:43
			military warfare. And they're at
odds with Ben who Hashem where the
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:46
			prophet Muhammad Salam comes from.
So no one would expect that the
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:50
			Prophet Mohammed Salim would pick
a meeting point at one of the
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:54
			tribes that was not having an
affinity towards him. So this is a
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:57
			tribe that usually is in
opposition with the Prophet
		
00:35:57 --> 00:36:00
			Muhammad said I'm strike. So the
Prophet Muhammad Salam is meeting
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:04
			at one of the homes of one of them
an outcome, and the outcome was
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:08
			very young. He was actually 16
years old during the FET, half
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:12
			Mecca. So years later, some he
said he was very, he's 16 years
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:17
			old. So I'll come his house.
Imagine now he's a, he's a young,
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:22
			he's a young young child. He has
he has his own space. And they
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:25
			were meeting there, they were
meeting there with an outcome, the
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:29
			outcome, just to give you a sense
of where they met, and they're the
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:31
			Prophet Muhammad Salim was teach
them the Quran would teach them
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:34
			about the basics of Islam, and
would meet to discuss some of the
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:38
			strategies. Now this period is, is
completely private, I would not
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:41
			say secret people knew. But it was
private. He's not making a public
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:45
			claim to be a prophet. He's not
making a claim to be a messenger.
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:47
			However, during this time, some
say that there was no
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:51
			confrontation. But clearly, we see
some confrontation that the
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:54
			Prophet Muhammad was being told,
don't pray. The Prophet Muhammad
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:56
			celebs campaign is exciting. And
your pastor is being intimidated.
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:58
			If I see you praying, I'm going to
do this and this and that to you.
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:03
			So we get a sense that there's
some form of private confrontation
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:06
			from courage towards those
individuals who are manifesting
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:09
			affinity towards Rasulullah sullen
Faraj knows what's going on. But
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:12
			they feel like okay, he's not
making a public point, kind of
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:14
			leave it, keep it under the rug,
they're just a bunch of 40 people
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:18
			don't bring unnecessary attention
to it. So that's the mainstream
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:22
			understanding is for those three
years, the Quran that is being
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:26
			revealed is, is kind of private is
being taught in these circles, but
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:28
			no one hears publicly. And that's
why it's very difficult to
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:31
			reconstruct the layout and the
order of the art or the order of
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:34
			the sword during those moments
during that early private period.
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:38
			Others say actually, it was a
private period. But there was
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:40
			maybe during that time, that's
when sort of more depth was
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:44
			revealed. And that's one sort of
method was revealed, or maybe
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:47
			smaller parts of the Quran were
revealed, like, for example,
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:50
			specific ad that would eventually
become part of the larger soul,
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:53
			because the Quran specific ad
would come and then finally, he
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:55
			agreed would say, put this one
behind this one and put that one
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:59
			in front of this one. And the
Quran will be rearranged while
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:02
			still maintaining that
intertextual harmony and beautiful
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:03
			poetic
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:08
			rhymes are endings and that's
really, really interesting about
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:12
			the Quranic structure. So,
nonetheless, the Prophet Muhammad
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:15
			Salam is receiving some form of
aid during this time. Why for
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:15
			example,
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:20
			comprender from Southern with that
said, Get up and worn, worn who
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:24
			teach you, when the rush erotica,
carabin teacher most immediate
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:27
			family teach begin with your most
immediate family, those who are
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:31
			closest to you, and then after
that move further, literally their
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:34
			own methodology and how that
that's much beyond the three year
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:37
			period that would initiate him
publicly disclosing the message.
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:40
			So now he's saying Allah is
telling him between the Rommel
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:44
			Quran and Hola. So you can teach
and warn and educate all of Mecca
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:48
			Omen Quran, the mother of cities,
and all the tribes and cities
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:51
			around. And then finally Leah
Kunal al Amin and Avira the
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:55
			message becomes universal. So
there are gradual steps through
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:58
			which the message starts off
private for just the family and
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:01
			the nearest of people. And then
after that, it becomes for Mecca
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:04
			and the city of Mecca and every
city around it. And then after
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:09
			that, it becomes universal, it
becomes universal. Now, let's,
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:13
			let's take another step back
because this contextualization is
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:18
			very important here. Very, very
important. When Jeep when Abuja
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:22
			Han told those will sell him if I
see you again, praying, I will do
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:25
			this in that to you. When did that
take place? Did that take place
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:29
			before the three years? So meaning
the promise elements to go and
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:32
			pray some form of prayer, the
early form of prayer, and he's
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:34
			caught or he's seen by Bucha Bucha
says, I don't want to see you
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:38
			doing that publicly. Or did that
take place after the three years?
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:41
			There's no reason to assume that
that took place after the three
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:44
			years because the Prophet Mohammed
Salim could still be doing private
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:48
			Dawa and praying in the Kaaba or
around the Kaaba in the form that
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:51
			Allah Subhana Allah instructs him
away from the idols and praying to
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:54
			Allah Subhana Allah alone, and his
prayer stands out in the it's
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:58
			unique. It's different from what
they usually expecting. So they
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:00
			see him as is standing in
opposition.
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:04
			Shouldn't with the ritual with the
norm with the tradition, the man
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:08
			so that's why there's some
confrontation. Okay, so what I'm
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:10
			suggesting and Allah Subhana Allah
knows best is very difficult to
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:14
			reconstruct at this time, but
we're just bigger picture the
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:18
			overall picture. So we get a sense
of the Quranic makin Quran, and
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:22
			the Medina and Quran, and the
overall development so that at
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:26
			least you have some main flags and
main chapters in your mind to be
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:29
			able to make sense of the bigger
picture by the Prophet Muhammad
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:33
			Salim is meeting at Dar Al Arcam,
his meeting with all these
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:38
			companions 40 or so of them. Three
years after the Prophet Muhammad
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:40
			said and received the revelation
there are only 40. So we can
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:43
			imagine in the first three years,
they started to three, four or
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:48
			510, some form of number between
three and 40. Slowly. Now what
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:52
			happens is they put pressure on
him, they put pressure on him. So
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:55
			they go to Abu Talib. And I will
tell you, it was the tribal
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:57
			leader. He was the tribal leader
of the Prophet Muhammad sustenance
		
00:40:57 --> 00:41:02
			tribe. And it's interesting to
note that they had something
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:05
			called a network and that was like
the Parliament of today. It's the
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:08
			Parliament of today, where
representatives from each tribe
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:12
			come each tribe has achieved but
not a single achieve for kurush.
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:14
			And they will all come together
and they will basically make
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:18
			decisions, they will make
decisions. So I will tell it, the
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:21
			rest of the tribal leaders came to
me and said, Listen, we want you
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:24
			to put some words gives give
Mohamed Salah Salem, of course,
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:27
			they're not going to say Salah
sellin, but tell Muhammad to slow
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:31
			down a bit. Tell them to tone it
down a bit, just too much. We
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:34
			don't want us to run into issues.
So you know, he's one of your own.
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:41
			Keep him keep him calm. Of course,
of course, I will. I will tell
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:45
			him, went and told Rasulillah
Salam. And then also Allah Salam
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:51
			said, My my, he told I will tell
him, there's no way I would be
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:54
			able to stop this. This is what
Allah Subhanallah is telling me, I
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:57
			cannot stop, it's not in my
control. Even if they were to put
		
00:41:57 --> 00:41:59
			the sun in my right hand and this
in my left hand, and you were to
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:01
			give me this and do it to give me
that there is no way that I would
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:05
			do it, then. So then the increased
pressure on other toilet, and they
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:09
			threatened him and the bride or
they tried to bribe him. And they
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:13
			told him Look, your your your your
guy Mohammed is cursing the idols,
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:16
			he's hurting the idols, he's
cursing our traditions. So the
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:19
			Ebeltoft then once again, to also
sell them to negotiate with them,
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:22
			is there anything that we can do
also sell them made it very clear
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:25
			that I'm not willing to
compromise, there's no way that I
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:28
			can compromise it's not me. This
is a message that I have from
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:32
			Allah Subhana Allah and I have to
deliver it as is. Now of course at
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:34
			this time he's offered money
offered wealth offered women
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:36
			offered this if you want to be a
leader will make you a leader. And
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:40
			that also la Selim refuses any of
that if he uses any of that. So
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:45
			this happens, some say, even like
this happens, some some forms of
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:49
			coming to the Prophet Muhammad
Solomon trying to mute his message
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:52
			comes even during the private
phase, even during the private
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:55
			phase. So for now, we can imagine
double toilet is being approached
		
00:42:55 --> 00:42:59
			by the Arabs, the the tribal
leaders, and he's approaching
		
00:42:59 --> 00:43:02
			Mohammed Salim telling him Listen,
is there anything that we can do
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:05
			and he refuses to compromise
whatsoever. Eventually, plus,
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:08
			we'll have Selim tells, I will
tell him, there's no there's no
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:11
			need, I'm not going to compromise
whatsoever. And I will tell him
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:14
			gives him his word, he's not going
to pressure him again, he's gonna
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:16
			accept him. And he's going to
support him, because he sees that
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:19
			he's really determined and he
says, You know what, keep going, I
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:21
			will support you in the best
capacity that I can in the best
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:23
			capacity that I can.
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:27
			So this is what's happening
roughly at this time. The next
		
00:43:27 --> 00:43:30
			Surah that is going to be revealed
is saltan Mudassar, which is going
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:34
			to be initiating the Prophet
Muhammad Salam into into
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:37
			messenger. So now he's a prophet,
and is going to be initiated into
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:41
			messenger. Now the ending of surah
Allah Allah, the last few air that
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:44
			we're finishing off today,
technically came much later, they
		
00:43:44 --> 00:43:46
			didn't come at the same time
because just the five eight, so
		
00:43:46 --> 00:43:49
			perhaps Sudan will desert and so
little message will revealed
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:53
			immediately after these five,
eight, or parts of Sultan would
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:56
			desert, and then the rest of the
surah was revealed somewhere in
		
00:43:56 --> 00:43:59
			the first three year in the first
in those in that first three year
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:03
			period, where even afterwards,
we're even afterwards, but we're
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:05
			finishing the surah as a whole so
we can at least have it as a
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:08
			cohesive structure, but
remembering these little details
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:12
			that are going to be important to
guide us along that journey
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:16
			Inshallah, tab, Ma'am, let me
check the chat to see if anybody
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:20
			has any questions. Anybody has any
questions?
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:25
			Okay, excellent. I just wanted to
reiterate again, that inshallah
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:27
			Salah we are finishing the surah
tonight and we're hoping to finish
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:31
			at nine and a nine o'clock we're
going to be opening the floor for
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:34
			discussions What did you learn
from the surah? What do you take?
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:36
			Are there any personal
reflections, anything that you
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:40
			want to add? May Allah bless you,
and inshallah if you're able to go
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:43
			to the WhatsApp group, and add the
WhatsApp group you'll be able to
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:46
			inshallah to Allah. See the link
through which you can actually
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:51
			join this video, this specific
stream and share your thoughts and
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:55
			have that question, q&a with us in
discussion. So we we have already
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:58
			set up and Brother Mohammed, here
any of you who want to join you
		
00:44:58 --> 00:44:59
			have the link, please do join
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:04
			insha Allah to Allah and around
around nine o'clock we'll have
		
00:45:04 --> 00:45:07
			that discussion inshallah together
even in Lehi to have beaten the
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:11
			night Ah, excellent, excellent.
Let's go back. Let's go back
		
00:45:14 --> 00:45:18
			now Abuja Hill is trying to
prevent Rasulullah Salim from
		
00:45:18 --> 00:45:21
			praying for when Allah Subhana
Allah is Allah ater Levy and how
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:25
			do you see the arrogance of the
one who prevents Abbot and it also
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:30
			Allah, a slave that is trying to
connect with ALLAH SubhanA wa and
		
00:45:30 --> 00:45:34
			this is a big grave sin to this to
stop somebody from connecting with
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:37
			Allah is a big sin. And Allah
subhanaw taala as a woman
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:41
			Otherland women manana Sergio de
la he and use the coffee Hello
		
00:45:41 --> 00:45:45
			Safi habia hula you can make an
alarm any of the hula ilaha illa.
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:51
			Allah says who is who is more
unjust and more oppressive than
		
00:45:51 --> 00:45:55
			the one who prevents people from
going and remembering Allah's name
		
00:45:55 --> 00:45:58
			in the places that are dedicated
to worship. So we as Muslims
		
00:45:58 --> 00:46:02
			should not be getting in the way
of of people having access to
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:05
			places of worship. This is one of
the earliest criticism that Allah
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:09
			Panatela gives to Abu Jihad and
gives to the pagan Arabs why
		
00:46:09 --> 00:46:12
			you're preventing this man from
praying right? Why are you getting
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:17
			Why Why are you preventing this
man from from praying, which which
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:19
			again should take us to an
important discussion on salah,
		
00:46:20 --> 00:46:23
			Salah is so important so Allah is
so important, and I want us to
		
00:46:23 --> 00:46:26
			just reflect here I'm gonna share
the notes Inshallah, on the
		
00:46:26 --> 00:46:29
			importance of Salah just to take a
small tangent. So Allah
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:33
			linguistically means a dua for
example, Allah says, which means
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:38
			to ask for good. So Salah is to
invoke good to ask Allah for
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:40
			blessing that's literally
linguistically what it means
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:43
			according to some. For example, in
the Quran, Allah says will
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:47
			suddenly Allah him in the Salah
ticket second only hope and pray
		
00:46:47 --> 00:46:51
			for them, ask Allah for good for
them, because your prayer will be
		
00:46:51 --> 00:46:54
			a source of stability and calm for
them. So the Quran actually uses
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:58
			the word Salah to literally refer
to asking for good so when I'm
		
00:46:58 --> 00:47:01
			saying I'm going to praise Allah,
I'm saying I'm going to ask Allah
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:05
			for good. What can I Allah who be
solid? He was the karate what can
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:09
			I interrupt the marble? Yeah, so
for Salah it's a way to earn a
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:13
			heart or to cultivate a heart that
is pleased with Allah subhanaw
		
00:47:13 --> 00:47:16
			taala so he was through the Salah,
and given the care or
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:20
			purification, he was able to
cultivate serenity and sincerity
		
00:47:20 --> 00:47:24
			that allowed him to be pleased
with Allah Stranahan salah is a
		
00:47:24 --> 00:47:28
			way of actually increasing risk as
Allah subhanaw taala reminds us in
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:33
			surah. In surah Taha what more
Allah can be solid he wants to
		
00:47:33 --> 00:47:38
			know the early learners allegories
or National Novel zoo book, one
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:39
			last table to
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:45
			ask your family to pray and be
patient and continuing to remind
		
00:47:45 --> 00:47:47
			them to pray. We don't ask
anything from you. We don't want
		
00:47:47 --> 00:47:50
			provision from you, we will
provide for you. And the best
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:54
			outcome or the best ending is for
those who have Taqwa for those who
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:57
			have Taqwa. And of course, Salah
is a great way to develop
		
00:47:57 --> 00:48:00
			inhibitory control and self
regulation. As a matter of fact,
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:03
			the last panel analysis for
highlights I mean, Valium
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:06
			holophone, or more or solid or
double show that a group of people
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:11
			came after them who neglected the
Salah, and then became prone to
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:14
			their own desires became victims
of their own desires. And so they
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:18
			met the fate of evil because of
that, and of course, and maybe
		
00:48:18 --> 00:48:21
			someone would ask me that, yeah,
that additional behavior allows us
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:24
			to find comfort through the solar
so the solar is so important, and
		
00:48:24 --> 00:48:28
			the Hadith are very important
about the Salah for example, and
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:31
			maybe salami told us that I will
do my my Hasselblad and I'm also
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:35
			not that the first among the first
things that Allah will ask you
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:38
			about is the salah is the Salah,
and if it's good, the rest of you
		
00:48:38 --> 00:48:41
			need to be good and if it's not,
the rest of your deeds may not be
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:46
			so good. The man now
linguistically also Salah just to
		
00:48:46 --> 00:48:49
			delve a little bit more on the
idea of Salah Salah is
		
00:48:50 --> 00:48:53
			linguistically associated with the
term relationship, it's associated
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:55
			with the term connection, it's
associated with the term
		
00:48:55 --> 00:48:58
			purification it's associated with
the term burning to burn to
		
00:48:58 --> 00:49:02
			subject to intense heat is also
like solid solid to subject
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:05
			something to intense heat. And the
solar is all of those things. It's
		
00:49:05 --> 00:49:09
			intense heat a warm connection
with Allah gets rid of your sins.
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:12
			It's a purification it's a
relationship, a connection with
		
00:49:12 --> 00:49:14
			Allah subhanaw taala and it's not
a transactional connection. It's
		
00:49:14 --> 00:49:17
			like I'm saying Oh Allah, I'm
praying to you, she can give me
		
00:49:17 --> 00:49:20
			this. It's you're asking for good
in general Yeah, Allah only you
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:23
			know, the good for me. So I'm
connecting with you, not for what
		
00:49:23 --> 00:49:26
			you do, but for who you are,
knowing that you're, you're better
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:30
			at determining what is good for me
than I am at determining it for
		
00:49:30 --> 00:49:34
			myself. Does that make sense? So
it's the salah is a very powerful
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:37
			connection with Allah Subhana
Allah and so we should not drop
		
00:49:37 --> 00:49:40
			the Salah and remember that again,
the first thing that we're going
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:42
			to be possible when we meet a lot
of parents and as a Salah and if
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:45
			it's good, Allah will give us the
best inshallah in the afternoon.
		
00:49:45 --> 00:49:47
			And if it's not, then Allah
Subhana Allah will look at the
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:51
			student that we did, and those
will make up for any shortcomings
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:54
			that we have in the obligatory so
laws. So don't miss your Sunon and
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:57
			that's a reminder for myself,
first and foremost malice pattern
		
00:49:57 --> 00:50:00
			and make us better Europe. I mean
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:03
			I mean, I mean, the man, Allah
subhana Tada, I left you some
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:08
			notes as well. One of my favorites
is in the inside of Julio Honolua
		
00:50:08 --> 00:50:11
			the human being was created in us
in a state of anxiety. You know,
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:16
			the human being is always anxious.
Either muscle a showroom, Jesu ah,
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:19
			when evil touches him he's
impatient when he will touches
		
00:50:19 --> 00:50:22
			her. She's impatient. Oh, man,
what is evil gonna go? I'm sick
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:26
			and tired of this way the muscle
Hi, Romania. And when good touches
		
00:50:26 --> 00:50:30
			him or her, she withholds Oh, no,
I don't know how long does
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:34
			goodwill will stay. Let me let me
keep saving up saving up saving up
		
00:50:34 --> 00:50:37
			for the bad time. So imagine in
good times, I'm worried that bad
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:40
			times are coming. So I end up
saving up and becoming so selfish
		
00:50:40 --> 00:50:43
			that I don't care for the other.
And in difficult times, I'm so
		
00:50:43 --> 00:50:46
			impatient that I let that
impatience, derail and distract me
		
00:50:46 --> 00:50:49
			from actually caring for the
other. So this is a quality of the
		
00:50:49 --> 00:50:52
			human being that Allah criticizes.
And this quality is many, many
		
00:50:52 --> 00:50:57
			people in many, many people accept
illness only, except those who
		
00:50:57 --> 00:51:01
			pray, those who observe prayer, so
those who pray and a constant
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:04
			Alladhina, La Salette, in the
immune, they're constantly upon,
		
00:51:04 --> 00:51:08
			they're always monitoring the
surah those are the ones that
		
00:51:08 --> 00:51:11
			ALLAH SubhanA will give guidance
and clarity and stability and
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:16
			allow them to overcome that
anxiety, overcome the anxiety. So
		
00:51:16 --> 00:51:19
			Allah Canada, let's continue Allah
Subhana Allah and says, Allah,
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:24
			ater in Ghana and Buddha, do you
think or Mohammed or do you see
		
00:51:24 --> 00:51:28
			what would happen to Abuja and I'm
gonna Nisha him is his name. What
		
00:51:28 --> 00:51:32
			would happen to him if he were to
actually hold on to guidance? Mr.
		
00:51:32 --> 00:51:36
			Ravi Toccoa, or if he were to
command and enjoy righteousness?
		
00:51:36 --> 00:51:39
			So imagine Allah Subhana Allah
here is giving us an insight into
		
00:51:39 --> 00:51:41
			the mind of Russell Sullivan. Let
us well, Salam is actually
		
00:51:41 --> 00:51:47
			thinking and he made dua, we said,
oh, Allah guide to Islam, whoever
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:51
			you see fit, at least one of the
two aromas are Amargosa pub and
		
00:51:51 --> 00:51:56
			nomination, because both of them
had the capacity to make some
		
00:51:56 --> 00:52:00
			great impact on the lives of
others. So the Prophet said, I'm
		
00:52:00 --> 00:52:03
			sorry, I'm gonna have Bob, and I'm
going to be sharp as very
		
00:52:03 --> 00:52:06
			influential, influential, and he's
making dua to Allah, I hope that
		
00:52:06 --> 00:52:11
			one of them who's really capable,
would come to Islam so that he
		
00:52:11 --> 00:52:15
			would trigger or encourage or prod
other people to accept Islam as
		
00:52:15 --> 00:52:19
			well. So now, the DUA also said,
that he made for Hamadani Shah,
		
00:52:19 --> 00:52:23
			Mohammad Mustafa, is somewhat
according some of them have a
		
00:52:23 --> 00:52:27
			certain facility mentioned here,
that oh Mohamed, you're thinking
		
00:52:27 --> 00:52:30
			you're constantly thinking about
what would happen if he becomes a
		
00:52:30 --> 00:52:35
			if he becomes what if he becomes a
pawn guidance, and if he enjoins
		
00:52:35 --> 00:52:39
			righteousness if he commands
Dakota for self protection through
		
00:52:39 --> 00:52:42
			protecting the boundaries, that
Allah's Panatela set, self
		
00:52:42 --> 00:52:44
			preservation consciousness,
mindfulness of Allah subhanaw
		
00:52:44 --> 00:52:47
			taala. So imagine what would
happen the good that he would
		
00:52:47 --> 00:52:52
			have, if he were to hold on to
Taqwa. And here's a here's a, an
		
00:52:52 --> 00:52:56
			example of the power of the power,
the power of guidance, the
		
00:52:56 --> 00:52:58
			guidance can literally transform
you in a second, I'm going to go
		
00:52:58 --> 00:53:02
			back to the example of Abu Bakr
and the example of Oman. Oh, eight
		
00:53:02 --> 00:53:03
			and get the Ebola.
		
00:53:04 --> 00:53:06
			And have you seen what would
happen if he denies and turns
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:11
			away? Can to deny the message to
deny what he sees whatever and
		
00:53:11 --> 00:53:17
			turns away? And I'm Yalom be an
ally, or does he not know that
		
00:53:17 --> 00:53:21
			Allah Subhana Allah sees, so the
next time that Abuja goes and
		
00:53:21 --> 00:53:24
			tries to insult the Prophet
Muhammad Salim by placing filth
		
00:53:24 --> 00:53:27
			upon his back or trying to
threaten him or trying to kick him
		
00:53:27 --> 00:53:31
			all his Institute, he ends up
seeing a really, really bizarre
		
00:53:31 --> 00:53:34
			sight. And he ends up being really
scared and he comes back and he's
		
00:53:34 --> 00:53:37
			really shocked. And they asked him
what happens if Didn't you guys
		
00:53:37 --> 00:53:40
			see that? Like, what what did you
see? He's like, Ah, I saw these
		
00:53:40 --> 00:53:43
			big creatures and it's so
intimidating, like we didn't see
		
00:53:43 --> 00:53:45
			anything. And it's actually
mentioned in the end of the Surah,
		
00:53:45 --> 00:53:49
			called Zephaniah, that these were
the angels that are sent to
		
00:53:49 --> 00:53:55
			protect and send as guardians of
Allah Allah has some say, and
		
00:53:55 --> 00:53:58
			these were sent to protect the
football stadium and Abuja saw
		
00:53:58 --> 00:54:02
			some form of some form of them in
some form, and he became very
		
00:54:02 --> 00:54:06
			intimidated. intimidated. So here
Here he is being warned of the
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:09
			incident, don't try to attack us
or Salem, because know that Allah
		
00:54:09 --> 00:54:12
			sees us even if Muhammad Salim has
his back to you and he cannot see
		
00:54:12 --> 00:54:15
			you. Allah Subhana Allah sees you
and Allah sees you when you're
		
00:54:15 --> 00:54:18
			outside in your own home. When
you're in public when you're in
		
00:54:18 --> 00:54:20
			private thinking about Muhammad
Salim Allah knows when you
		
00:54:20 --> 00:54:22
			thinking about Islam, and you
considering it to be a
		
00:54:22 --> 00:54:25
			possibility, but Allah Subhana
Allah also knows when you want to
		
00:54:25 --> 00:54:29
			put on a show publicly, to
intimidate people and to deter
		
00:54:29 --> 00:54:31
			people from becoming Muslims.
		
00:54:33 --> 00:54:36
			Deterring people from becoming
Muslims. So Allah Subhana Allah
		
00:54:36 --> 00:54:39
			will finish we'll finish this and
then come back to a few things.
		
00:54:40 --> 00:54:46
			Can the elimination day let us be
now so yeah, indeed. No, no, no,
		
00:54:46 --> 00:54:48
			no, he will not imagine the camera
is like no, he's not going to get
		
00:54:48 --> 00:54:52
			away with this. If he does not
desist. In the meantime, let us
		
00:54:52 --> 00:54:56
			find the nurses. We're going to
drag him by his forelock or his
		
00:54:56 --> 00:55:00
			prefrontal cortex. What is this
lock? What is this for?
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:03
			We're like, what is his prefrontal
cortex described as now see it in
		
00:55:03 --> 00:55:08
			it's a forelock, can the button
that is lying haltia that is
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:11
			sitting intentionally setting
intention. And here's an important
		
00:55:11 --> 00:55:15
			thing to think about when Allah
subhanaw taala cites this, this
		
00:55:15 --> 00:55:17
			year, this is the LCRA. Here, I
hope you can see my mouse. This
		
00:55:17 --> 00:55:22
			here, this, this here is the
nasiha the prefrontal cortex, and
		
00:55:22 --> 00:55:26
			this is responsible part of our
brain, part of the frontal lobe
		
00:55:26 --> 00:55:29
			that is responsible for reasoning
and judgment. So this is an early
		
00:55:29 --> 00:55:33
			reference from the Quran that
suggests that this here in Abuja,
		
00:55:33 --> 00:55:38
			his mind is what Canada is denying
what it sees as reality and
		
00:55:38 --> 00:55:42
			healthier, and it's choosing the
wrong thing intention.
		
00:55:43 --> 00:55:46
			It didn't say mostly, which means
to make a wrong choice ignorantly
		
00:55:46 --> 00:55:50
			or unintentionally, it's described
as healthy or making a wrong
		
00:55:50 --> 00:55:51
			choice intentionally.
		
00:55:53 --> 00:55:57
			So here is a reference in the
Quran early on first Surah
		
00:55:57 --> 00:56:01
			revealed or first like the first
Surah, which has a part of it
		
00:56:01 --> 00:56:06
			revealed at the early part of
Islam. And it's making a reference
		
00:56:06 --> 00:56:09
			at the end to the idea of a
prefrontal cortex. So this part of
		
00:56:09 --> 00:56:12
			our brain, the forehead, the
forelock, responsible for decision
		
00:56:12 --> 00:56:15
			making, and responsible for
choices and you can know something
		
00:56:15 --> 00:56:18
			is good or something is right but
you choose to deny it and choose
		
00:56:18 --> 00:56:20
			to intentionally
		
00:56:22 --> 00:56:25
			intentionally ignore intention
ignore. So the idea here is that
		
00:56:25 --> 00:56:29
			Roswell Salem, is being told that
will jail actually knows what the
		
00:56:29 --> 00:56:33
			truth is. And he recognizes the
power of Islam and recognizes that
		
00:56:33 --> 00:56:36
			this, there's something to think
about and to explore here. But
		
00:56:36 --> 00:56:40
			he's choosing not to it choosing
intentionally not to explore it
		
00:56:40 --> 00:56:43
			not to consider what's the proof,
What's the proof, there are many
		
00:56:43 --> 00:56:46
			there are many things that like
for example, Nkrumah himself,
		
00:56:46 --> 00:56:50
			which is the son of Abu Jihad
would eventually say and narrate
		
00:56:50 --> 00:56:56
			but an example An example of this
is what what Zulu mentions an era
		
00:56:56 --> 00:57:01
			Sofia nwaba Jadwal a furnace they
used to meet or not meet used to
		
00:57:01 --> 00:57:06
			sneak outside the istemi rule,
Mina Rasulullah, sallAllahu
		
00:57:06 --> 00:57:09
			suddenly mean a lady who Beatty
used to sneak around to try to
		
00:57:09 --> 00:57:11
			listen to the Prophet Mohammed bin
Salman, when he would be reciting
		
00:57:11 --> 00:57:15
			Quran in his house. So every one
of them would sit somewhere
		
00:57:15 --> 00:57:17
			without knowing that the others
there so everyone is sneaking
		
00:57:17 --> 00:57:20
			every one of them those are the
leaders of Quran, I will Sophia
		
00:57:20 --> 00:57:24
			and I will Jehanne and Agnes among
the notables and courage, and they
		
00:57:24 --> 00:57:27
			will go and they would listen to
Prophet Muhammad and recite Quran.
		
00:57:28 --> 00:57:30
			And then they caught each other on
the way back. So they said, Okay,
		
00:57:30 --> 00:57:33
			we can't be seen guys, if we're
seeing listening to this, we're
		
00:57:33 --> 00:57:38
			going to really, really be putting
our followers in a difficult time
		
00:57:38 --> 00:57:41
			we're telling them you know,
Mohammed Salam is weird or
		
00:57:41 --> 00:57:44
			strange, or we're trying to don't
consider it. Or maybe we're not
		
00:57:44 --> 00:57:47
			saying anything we're keeping on
the download. But if people see us
		
00:57:47 --> 00:57:49
			listening, and why are they
listening, what's what's going on.
		
00:57:49 --> 00:57:51
			So we don't want to bring
attention to it. So we all
		
00:57:51 --> 00:57:55
			promised not to come back. But a
few nights later, they catch each
		
00:57:55 --> 00:57:58
			other again, a few minutes later,
they catch each other again, so
		
00:57:58 --> 00:58:00
			they had to finally make a final
decision. We can never be seen
		
00:58:00 --> 00:58:03
			listening to the Quran or
listening to Muhammad Salah
		
00:58:03 --> 00:58:06
			regardless of how curious it is,
rather than how, you know,
		
00:58:06 --> 00:58:09
			interesting it is relative how
unique it is how poetic it is, we
		
00:58:09 --> 00:58:12
			can't be seen. So there's some
evidence suggests that they were
		
00:58:12 --> 00:58:15
			considering the message or at
least captivated by to want to go
		
00:58:15 --> 00:58:18
			back to want to listen to it
further. But they had to put on a
		
00:58:18 --> 00:58:22
			public image which is continuously
denying, oh, that's not true. It's
		
00:58:22 --> 00:58:26
			not true. That's not true to
preserve their own socio economic
		
00:58:26 --> 00:58:30
			ambitions and political interests.
Now, of course, an abuse of
		
00:58:30 --> 00:58:35
			asylum, he's told by Abu Bucha
*, if you don't stop, I will do
		
00:58:35 --> 00:58:39
			this and this to you. And then if
I see you, again, in Nicoletta
		
00:58:39 --> 00:58:44
			Alamo, mabie, her NAD in EC
therell Mini, you know that
		
00:58:44 --> 00:58:48
			there's no one in Mecca which has
the capacity or the power to bring
		
00:58:48 --> 00:58:51
			more people out than me. I can
really put you in your place or
		
00:58:51 --> 00:58:55
			Mohamed. So stop it, stop it. So
the Quran then responds with these
		
00:58:55 --> 00:58:59
			two, failure dominaria Let him
call his associates let him call
		
00:58:59 --> 00:59:03
			anybody let Abuja * failure
through Abuja, *, let him call
		
00:59:03 --> 00:59:08
			anybody, Santa Rosa Vania, we will
call out the angels as a barrier,
		
00:59:08 --> 00:59:12
			the angels of Hells Angels, that
are warrior angels, the very
		
00:59:12 --> 00:59:15
			powerful and very strong and then
finally the command is given to us
		
00:59:15 --> 00:59:21
			or Salam can lead to to Mohamed DO
NOT OBEY Him, what's good, what
		
00:59:21 --> 00:59:24
			pathetic, bring yourself closer to
Allah subhanaw taala through
		
00:59:24 --> 00:59:27
			prostration because through the
prostration you will be brought
		
00:59:27 --> 00:59:32
			nearer and nearer to Allah
subhanho wa taala. To map some
		
00:59:32 --> 00:59:36
			other map make a reference, the
through the sujood we are putting
		
00:59:36 --> 00:59:40
			seven of our body parts, you know,
our forehead, our nose is touching
		
00:59:40 --> 00:59:45
			the ground, the hands, the knees,
the toes are touching the ground.
		
00:59:45 --> 00:59:51
			So that's 12345 and the 267. So
the seven parts of our body
		
00:59:51 --> 00:59:54
			touching the ground, humbling
ourselves to ALLAH SubhanA data
		
00:59:54 --> 00:59:59
			and that is opening or closing
closing each gate with each one
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:02
			Part of our body touching the
ground. We're closing one of the
		
01:00:02 --> 01:00:05

01:00:22 --> 01:00:26
			for you who want to read it in the
notes. And of course every stage
		
01:00:26 --> 01:00:30

01:01:55 --> 01:01:58
			Allah subhana, Allah commanded
them to do so to them, they do it.
		
01:01:58 --> 01:02:02
			And I was commanded by Allah to
distribute and I didn't. So Iblees

			his mind and his followers, they
would reflect on that moment where
		
01:02:06 --> 01:02:09
			Allah commanded them to do the
prostration. And they didn't. So
		
01:02:09 --> 01:02:12
			the prostration and the soldier is
very, very important. And they
		
01:02:12 --> 01:02:15
			will serve themselves in the
Hadith. I know we're very tight on
		
01:02:15 --> 01:02:17
			time. So forgive me, I'm trying to
condense a lot of this
		
01:02:17 --> 01:02:21
			information. And I really want to
take it easy and kind of, you
		
01:02:21 --> 01:02:23
			know, give everything it's
justice. But inshallah I hope that
		
01:02:23 --> 01:02:25
			some of you now that you have the
Hadith, you can go back to it
		
01:02:25 --> 01:02:28
			later, in clarity, and our
attention spans are very limited.
		
01:02:28 --> 01:02:32
			So I don't want to just, you know,
take take a lot of time and drag
		
01:02:32 --> 01:02:34
			some points. So I'm just giving
you the content, but you're gonna
		
01:02:34 --> 01:02:38
			need some time to sit by yourself,
and to reflect and to regurgitate
		
01:02:38 --> 01:02:42
			this information, and to digest
this information and to teach it
		
01:02:42 --> 01:02:46
			yourself and to regurgitate in
your thoughts, right, keep
		
01:02:46 --> 01:02:48
			teaching yourself so that
inshallah residents because we
		
01:02:48 --> 01:02:51
			don't want to be from those who
know a lot of information, but it
		
01:02:51 --> 01:02:53
			doesn't take change anything. So
at this pace, it's a lot of
		
01:02:53 --> 01:02:56
			information and it requires us to
shoulder to add, to take a step
		
01:02:56 --> 01:02:59
			back to reflect, to pause to at
your own pace, pause hamdullah
		
01:02:59 --> 01:03:02
			with YouTube, you can put on
double speed, if it's too slow,
		
01:03:02 --> 01:03:05
			you can put on you know, half
speed, take your time, reflect
		
01:03:05 --> 01:03:08
			think, make it a journey,
inshallah that is personal to you,
		
01:03:08 --> 01:03:10
			but I'm giving you some of the
information that will at least
		
01:03:10 --> 01:03:13
			help you and some of the sources
that you can read on your own.
		
01:03:14 --> 01:03:16
			Here's a beautiful Hadith in which
the Prophet Muhammad Salam says
		
01:03:17 --> 01:03:22
			that I will know my people on Yama
pm by the signs that they have on
		
01:03:22 --> 01:03:27
			their faces and underarms, from
the will do and also from the
		
01:03:27 --> 01:03:30
			sujood so inshallah we want to be
from those who are radiating and
		
01:03:30 --> 01:03:33
			Yamuna PM, when they were Salam is
able to identify say, this is one
		
01:03:33 --> 01:03:38
			of my alma, one of my one of my
brothers, one of my friends, one
		
01:03:38 --> 01:03:41
			of my friends, and I recognize
them because of the schedule,
		
01:03:41 --> 01:03:44
			because the sign that they have on
their face, for Ask Allah Subhana
		
01:03:44 --> 01:03:49
			Allah to make us among them. Your
mean mean mean mean by
		
01:03:50 --> 01:03:53
			the dua that is made in the
schedule of course is accepted, is
		
01:03:53 --> 01:03:59
			accepted. And this is narrated by
Ibn ambas when he says that and it
		
01:03:59 --> 01:04:03
			was salam Kashia facilitar when
NASA so forth, have me back to a

			Massoud fish day to feed dua
feminine fish day to feed dua 13
		
01:04:24 --> 01:04:28
			noon, and use the jab at a comb is
very beautiful. And we started
		
01:04:28 --> 01:04:30
			this when he was sick and Abu Bakr
was leading the salah towards the
		
01:04:30 --> 01:04:34
			end of his life. And he looks at
the community and he sees them in
		
01:04:34 --> 01:04:36
			you know, he sees some of them
usually usually leading from the
		
01:04:36 --> 01:04:39
			front. But now because he's sick,
he's coming in he's seeing people
		
01:04:39 --> 01:04:42
			prostrate and bow and he hears
them saying a few things. She's
		
01:04:42 --> 01:04:45
			reminding them or people have
asked the ending of Prophet to
		
01:04:45 --> 01:04:47
			this year the ending of messenger
who is here and only thing that
		
01:04:47 --> 01:04:52
			will be left of true prophethood
is the true true dreams that will
		
01:04:52 --> 01:04:55
			happen. So we'll have the true
dreams that will basically be a
		
01:04:55 --> 01:04:59
			small portion as we said 1/64 of
the
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:04
			prophethood and he says as regard
I was told that Allah Subhana
		
01:05:04 --> 01:05:09
			Allah not to recite Quran while in
sujood or record, but instead to
		
01:05:09 --> 01:05:13
			make dua to make dua for the one
that is making dua Institute in
		
01:05:13 --> 01:05:17
			sha Allah will be accepted. And
that's the showerhead here and use
		
01:05:17 --> 01:05:20
			to jab welcome the DUA so Jude is
accepted, that's when he calls us
		
01:05:20 --> 01:05:25
			to Allah Subhana Allah, so don't
miss the opportunity, don't miss
		
01:05:25 --> 01:05:30
			that opportunity. Now, before we
finish, before we finish, we need
		
01:05:30 --> 01:05:35
			to just have a quick conversation
on sage did a tiller. Now this was
		
01:05:35 --> 01:05:37
			the first time we come across the
tillow in the Quran, or
		
01:05:37 --> 01:05:40
			essentially that in the Quran, it
plays a prosecution usually in the
		
01:05:40 --> 01:05:43
			most half. If I don't know if you
can see here, but I'll just show
		
01:05:43 --> 01:05:47
			you quickly. In the most half. If
you look at your most of it will
		
01:05:47 --> 01:05:50
			be indicated by the sign that this
is a place where there's such that
		
01:05:50 --> 01:05:53
			this is a place where this
decision and it'll be indicated
		
01:05:53 --> 01:05:56
			here this is the place where this
says now there are 14 or 15
		
01:05:57 --> 01:06:00
			scholars say that there are 14 or
15 places in the Quran where
		
01:06:00 --> 01:06:04
			you're supposed to do surgery and
long story short it's Mr. Habits
		
01:06:04 --> 01:06:08
			highly recommended to do the
surgery right after you hear.
		
01:06:09 --> 01:06:12
			But however almost hotpot during
his Khilafah he was doing the
		
01:06:12 --> 01:06:16
			hotbar and he recited the surah
that says that so you went down
		
01:06:16 --> 01:06:19
			from the member and decision at
one time and he didn't do it
		
01:06:19 --> 01:06:23
			another time and he told them you
know what the sage that was told
		
01:06:23 --> 01:06:26
			to us personally that it's not an
obligatory but it's highly
		
01:06:26 --> 01:06:29
			recommended so you can do it some
times and you don't have to do it
		
01:06:29 --> 01:06:31
			other times. And the reason why he
did that is because at that time
		
01:06:31 --> 01:06:34
			people were assuming that it's an
obligation under no circumstances
		
01:06:34 --> 01:06:37
			could you miss it so he was making
that clear. Imam Malik for
		
01:06:37 --> 01:06:41
			example, he would recite Quran and
when he came across essentially
		
01:06:41 --> 01:06:44
			that whether in salah or outside
of Salah sometimes you would not
		
01:06:44 --> 01:06:47
			do it right there and then but he
would do it later in private
		
01:06:47 --> 01:06:50
			between him and ALLAH SubhanA wa
well we take from all of this is
		
01:06:50 --> 01:06:54
			that it's better to do on the spot
right get it over with we are
		
01:06:54 --> 01:06:57
			procrastinators you don't want to
you don't want to Oh ALLAH SubhanA
		
01:06:57 --> 01:07:00
			Tada something, especially if you
make the intention for it, get it
		
01:07:00 --> 01:07:04
			there and then but for whatever
reason, you can't do it at that
		
01:07:04 --> 01:07:08
			time. That's okay. You, you do it
at a later time, but do your best
		
01:07:08 --> 01:07:11
			to Inshallah, observe it as much
as possible. And why is that
		
01:07:11 --> 01:07:13
			important? Because sometimes we
are in the middle of a halacha
		
01:07:13 --> 01:07:17
			like right now when we're doing a
virtual session, maybe every time
		
01:07:17 --> 01:07:19
			that a recite that I'm not going
to be going and leaving coming
		
01:07:19 --> 01:07:23
			back and interrupting the the
virtual session. So leaving it to
		
01:07:23 --> 01:07:26
			the end and doing it again is
fine, not an issue, inshallah to
		
01:07:26 --> 01:07:31
			Allah, as long as between you and
Allah Subhana Allah by year. Now
		
01:07:31 --> 01:07:35
			we come to the fun part, we come
to the fun part, may Allah
		
01:07:35 --> 01:07:37
			subhana, Allah bless you and give
you Janet for those. What I want
		
01:07:37 --> 01:07:41
			to do now is I want to go back
again from the beginning of the
		
01:07:41 --> 01:07:45
			surah and recite the surah.
Together, reflect on it together
		
01:07:45 --> 01:07:49
			in sha Allah Allah, and think
about how I would react to the
		
01:07:49 --> 01:07:52
			sort of I'm in the middle of
Salah. So going again, we did the
		
01:07:52 --> 01:07:53
			first
		
01:07:54 --> 01:07:58
			seven, we did the first eight,
eight. So now let's do the second
		
01:07:59 --> 01:08:04
			from eight from nine to 1910 ate
at the end. So Allah subhanaw
		
01:08:04 --> 01:08:05
			taala imagine again, in the Salah,
		
01:08:07 --> 01:08:09
			or at a lady and
		
01:08:10 --> 01:08:15
			do you see the one who forbids are
better than either also
		
01:08:16 --> 01:08:20
			forbids one, what he's trying to
pray what I'm imagining. Imagine
		
01:08:20 --> 01:08:23
			also when he's not confronting he
just wants to pray around the
		
01:08:23 --> 01:08:26
			cabinet. And Abuja is being so
stubborn, preventing him from
		
01:08:26 --> 01:08:29
			praying. So what I'm imagining
they're imagining all those who
		
01:08:29 --> 01:08:31
			are trying to pray but cannot do
it publicly.
		
01:08:32 --> 01:08:36
			Imagine the euro, the Euro is in
China. Imagine some of the
		
01:08:36 --> 01:08:42
			Kashmiris who are stripped,
killed, murdered, raped, all kinds
		
01:08:42 --> 01:08:46
			of all kinds of terrible things
are placed upon them. And imagine
		
01:08:46 --> 01:08:50
			the Muslims in France masajid are
being shot because they don't
		
01:08:50 --> 01:08:53
			conform to the national project.
And of course, the situation in
		
01:08:53 --> 01:08:56
			China is much much graver. So when
I'm listening to this, I'm
		
01:08:56 --> 01:09:00
			imagining that you know, Abu Jihad
may have died a long time ago. But
		
01:09:00 --> 01:09:03
			the attitude of preventing people
from practicing their faith still
		
01:09:03 --> 01:09:04
			continues today.
		
01:09:05 --> 01:09:09
			And I'm also taking to reflecting
and making dua for them to Allah
		
01:09:09 --> 01:09:11
			guide them your Allah make it easy
for them. Yeah, Allah, you've
		
01:09:11 --> 01:09:15
			given me the opportunity to be
able to pray, and to be in a place
		
01:09:15 --> 01:09:18
			where I can pray even publicly and
privately and not be persecuted
		
01:09:18 --> 01:09:21
			because of that. I should never
take that for granted. So that's
		
01:09:21 --> 01:09:24
			an example of reflection that I
can have. And then I can make a
		
01:09:24 --> 01:09:27
			dua after reciting the I relating
it to Abuja and relating it to the
		
01:09:27 --> 01:09:33
			reality that I'm living in today.
Are you to in Ghana? Muda. Mr.
		
01:09:33 --> 01:09:34
			Robbie Delco.
		
01:09:36 --> 01:09:37
			I eat you
		
01:09:38 --> 01:09:40
			can Labelle matawa
		
01:09:44 --> 01:09:48
			so Allah is asking Mohammed Salim,
you're thinking about him and
		
01:09:48 --> 01:09:50
			wondering what would happen if he
became Muslim? What would happen
		
01:09:50 --> 01:09:53
			if he became guided? Imagine the
good that he could do? And also
		
01:09:53 --> 01:09:56
			what would happen oh, man, what
would happen if you were to turn
		
01:09:56 --> 01:10:00
			away from Allah and to deny and to
retreat? Does he
		
01:10:00 --> 01:10:05
			not know me, Arlen the law hey are
all those you not know that Allah
		
01:10:05 --> 01:10:09
			can see. So what what comes to
mind when I reflect on this area
		
01:10:09 --> 01:10:12
			just again showing you the
reflection. And again none of us
		
01:10:12 --> 01:10:15
			are in a position where we should
like to do Tafseer we're not you
		
01:10:15 --> 01:10:17
			know last time I mentioned the
word of see it because we're
		
01:10:17 --> 01:10:20
			looking at a lot of sources, but
what we're doing is not engaging
		
01:10:20 --> 01:10:24
			in taxes directly because who am I
to succeed? I want to clarify the
		
01:10:24 --> 01:10:27
			word of Allah the intended meaning
of Allah. No one can do that.
		
01:10:27 --> 01:10:30
			Allah Subhana Allah knows best
what Allah has Panatela intended.
		
01:10:31 --> 01:10:33
			But what we're doing is sharing
some reflections, some
		
01:10:33 --> 01:10:36
			contextualization, some history,
so at least we can get a better
		
01:10:36 --> 01:10:39
			taste of the Quran. A better
experience of the Quran,
		
01:10:39 --> 01:10:42
			recognizing that at the end of the
day, all that we're doing is very
		
01:10:42 --> 01:10:45
			limited, and the tools that we
have very limited, but we do the
		
01:10:45 --> 01:10:50
			best with what we have to
construct an image in our mind and
		
01:10:50 --> 01:10:53
			understanding our mind the guides
or anybody that makes it better
		
01:10:53 --> 01:10:57
			and makes the Quran sweeter and
makes us connect to it better. So
		
01:10:57 --> 01:11:00
			when I'm thinking about this
writer in Canada, boil it and
		
01:11:00 --> 01:11:04
			caramel Gouda, imagine if Abuja
had actually held on to guidance,
		
01:11:04 --> 01:11:06
			the good that he could have done.
Or imagine when he sinks to the
		
01:11:06 --> 01:11:10
			lowest of the low, the terrible
things that he would do. What I'm
		
01:11:10 --> 01:11:13
			imagining goes is Islam.
		
01:11:14 --> 01:11:19
			Allah subhanaw taala as guidance
is so powerful that it can
		
01:11:19 --> 01:11:21
			transform individuals.
		
01:11:23 --> 01:11:27
			Let me give you an example. Some
of us are born naturally inclining
		
01:11:27 --> 01:11:29
			towards a specific feeling.
		
01:11:31 --> 01:11:34
			For example, some of us are
naturally happy people very, very
		
01:11:34 --> 01:11:38
			happy, very excited, naturally
happy. Right and some people are
		
01:11:38 --> 01:11:42
			naturally kind of critical very,
they think a lot and you know,
		
01:11:42 --> 01:11:45
			they they're not they're not
rested, they don't they don't like
		
01:11:45 --> 01:11:47
			or they don't incline towards
happiness as much and perhaps this
		
01:11:47 --> 01:11:51
			is related to the hadith of also
salam that when the human being is
		
01:11:51 --> 01:11:54
			fashioned in the womb, Allah
subhanaw taala decrees whether
		
01:11:54 --> 01:11:58
			this individual to lead a Shakti
life like a life that's full of
		
01:11:58 --> 01:12:03
			struggle and hardship and kind of
like internal internal stress or a
		
01:12:03 --> 01:12:05
			person's going to be like, okay,
yeah, things are happening, life,
		
01:12:05 --> 01:12:08
			life goes on, kind of like bubbly
and happy and those are
		
01:12:08 --> 01:12:13
			personalities. So some people have
those personalities. And sometimes
		
01:12:13 --> 01:12:15
			those who have bubbly
personalities are always looked at
		
01:12:15 --> 01:12:18
			by those who don't have bubbly
personality, not as outgoing.
		
01:12:18 --> 01:12:21
			They're not extroverts, they're
more introverts. They look at
		
01:12:21 --> 01:12:24
			those who are happy, like, Oh, are
you faking it? Is this really
		
01:12:24 --> 01:12:27
			real? Is this really genuine?
Could someone be that happy? So
		
01:12:27 --> 01:12:31
			there are those personality
differences. And if you look at
		
01:12:31 --> 01:12:35
			for example, you know, stepping
outside zooming out for a bit, if
		
01:12:35 --> 01:12:39
			you look at Abu Bakr, Abu Bakr was
naturally a gentle person you sent
		
01:12:39 --> 01:12:44
			him says the most kind among my
OMA is Abu Bakr, he was naturally
		
01:12:44 --> 01:12:45
			kind, easygoing,
		
01:12:46 --> 01:12:51
			almost on the other hand, was
naturally rigid, just driven just
		
01:12:51 --> 01:12:55
			as driven, very firm, very firm,
rigid upon the truth, like I'm not
		
01:12:55 --> 01:12:59
			going to compromise
uncompromising. So more naturally,
		
01:12:59 --> 01:13:02
			now, why? Because if you look at
Omar, perhaps some of his
		
01:13:02 --> 01:13:06
			biological genetic and some of it
is, you know, socialization
		
01:13:06 --> 01:13:10
			nurturing, because Omar had a very
tough upbringing. He experienced a
		
01:13:10 --> 01:13:14
			lot of terrible things as a child,
and that made him very tough yet
		
01:13:14 --> 01:13:17
			you have to build resilience, you
have to be very strong to be able
		
01:13:17 --> 01:13:21
			to withstand. So Omar was
naturally inclined towards
		
01:13:21 --> 01:13:25
			justice, Abu Bakr was naturally
inclined towards gentleness. But
		
01:13:25 --> 01:13:29
			if you look at Omar, if you look
at Omar, Omar would cry when he
		
01:13:29 --> 01:13:30
			would hear the Quran
		
01:13:33 --> 01:13:38
			and Omar his heart would open up
to Roscoe Salam and love, love and
		
01:13:38 --> 01:13:41
			attach of Solomon such an
incredible way with all this going
		
01:13:41 --> 01:13:45
			on in France. I was thinking about
this recently, when Rosalind came
		
01:13:45 --> 01:13:47
			to Ramona says Oh Rama and he was
speaking to the community or
		
01:13:47 --> 01:13:51
			community none of you truly
believes until you love me also
		
01:13:51 --> 01:13:55
			Salah more than you love yourself
until I become more beloved to you
		
01:13:55 --> 01:14:00
			then to your then your own neffs
your own self. Alma was honest
		
01:14:00 --> 01:14:02
			with us Oh, sensei Russell, I love
you but I don't think I love him
		
01:14:02 --> 01:14:03
			more than love myself.
		
01:14:04 --> 01:14:07
			So Selim told him give yourself
some time. Um, I went and given
		
01:14:07 --> 01:14:10
			some some time came back there so
I finally get it. Now, I genuinely
		
01:14:10 --> 01:14:12
			love you more than I love myself.
		
01:14:13 --> 01:14:16
			I genuinely love you more than I
love myself.
		
01:14:18 --> 01:14:22
			Because guidance takes me to join
and you are the key through which
		
01:14:22 --> 01:14:25
			I'm able to get that guidance from
Allah Subhana Allah, so I can
		
01:14:25 --> 01:14:28
			never show your gratitude. I can
never be appreciative. Even if I
		
01:14:28 --> 01:14:31
			live this life as a king, and I
don't get Jannah in the hereafter.
		
01:14:32 --> 01:14:35
			It's not worth it. So you're more
important you're more dear to me
		
01:14:35 --> 01:14:36
			than anything else.
		
01:14:37 --> 01:14:40
			See, appreciate imagine, like Alma
who was really tough. Everything's
		
01:14:40 --> 01:14:46
			happened to him through Islam. It
transforms his personality. It
		
01:14:46 --> 01:14:50
			transforms his lived experience,
it transforms is the whole lived
		
01:14:50 --> 01:14:53
			experience. His connection with
Solomon said I love you more than
		
01:14:53 --> 01:14:56
			I love myself. Imagine someone who
had the potential to be like Abu
		
01:14:56 --> 01:14:59
			Jamal were rough, ruthless and
deny Islam
		
01:15:00 --> 01:15:03
			But Allah Subhana Allah guides him
because of some sincerity Allah
		
01:15:03 --> 01:15:05
			knows best you have local Manisha
we have thought he chooses how He
		
01:15:05 --> 01:15:09
			wills. And he selects how he wills
he sees that which we don't see.
		
01:15:09 --> 01:15:11
			So there was something that I
wanted that allowed him to give
		
01:15:11 --> 01:15:14
			that guidance. And that
transformed him to make him one of
		
01:15:14 --> 01:15:18
			the he's still just unfair, but he
had a very beautiful emotional
		
01:15:18 --> 01:15:18
			side.
		
01:15:21 --> 01:15:24
			You will be vulnerable with also
Sanlam attaching Soto syndrome.
		
01:15:24 --> 01:15:28
			And that in itself a four out of
man was an alpha male who's
		
01:15:28 --> 01:15:31
			toughen just in fear and strong
and we get the descriptions of how
		
01:15:31 --> 01:15:34
			powerful he is to come to a center
and love you more than I love
		
01:15:34 --> 01:15:38
			myself and to cry and to shed
tears and to and to say to the
		
01:15:38 --> 01:15:41
			woman who confronts him in the
masjid son of Fatima who occurred
		
01:15:41 --> 01:15:45
			after the woman has spoken the
truth and has said what is good
		
01:15:45 --> 01:15:49
			and woman has made a mistake to
humble himself like that. That's
		
01:15:49 --> 01:15:50
			the power of Islam.
		
01:15:51 --> 01:15:53
			That's the transformative ability
of Islam.
		
01:15:54 --> 01:15:58
			And Abu Bakr on the other side who
was gentle and naturally inclining
		
01:15:58 --> 01:16:02
			towards gentleness, he would lead
the one of the most ruthless
		
01:16:02 --> 01:16:06
			attacks, confrontations of those
who left Islam apostate from
		
01:16:06 --> 01:16:09
			Islam. And I'm gonna tell him why
I take it easy. It's not that big
		
01:16:09 --> 01:16:13
			of a deal, is it? No if they
refuse to basica that is untying
		
01:16:13 --> 01:16:14
			the bond of Islam.
		
01:16:15 --> 01:16:19
			So imagine Rama would be gentle
through the guidance of Islam and
		
01:16:19 --> 01:16:22
			Abu Bakr would know even though
his natural inclination was
		
01:16:22 --> 01:16:25
			towards gentleness, he knew when
to put the gentleness to limits,
		
01:16:26 --> 01:16:28
			and he knew when to have to be
firm for the sake of Allah Subhana
		
01:16:28 --> 01:16:31
			Allah, what guided that Islam do.
		
01:16:32 --> 01:16:35
			So Islam as a link, when you look
at Islam as a lived experience, it
		
01:16:35 --> 01:16:38
			transformed the lives of the
companions. In the midst of some
		
01:16:38 --> 01:16:42
			of this journey of Pharaoh confit
Islam the best of you and JD a pre
		
01:16:42 --> 01:16:45
			Islam are the best of you in
Islam. So Islam comes in to bring
		
01:16:45 --> 01:16:49
			the good out of you and to
minimize and to mute. The
		
01:16:49 --> 01:16:52
			negatives within you that you may
be naturally genetically or
		
01:16:52 --> 01:16:55
			socially precondition to, or
nurtured to become more inclined
		
01:16:55 --> 01:17:01
			to. Islam comes to reduce all of
that. And Islam comes to reduce
		
01:17:01 --> 01:17:06
			the negative impact of one part of
your personality becoming too
		
01:17:06 --> 01:17:10
			overpowering, that you become too
gentle, they become a pushover
		
01:17:11 --> 01:17:14
			or you become too Justin to focus
on fairness that you end up having
		
01:17:14 --> 01:17:15
			no compassion.
		
01:17:17 --> 01:17:20
			So when we look at Solomon's
question, when I look at Salah
		
01:17:20 --> 01:17:24
			man's question, which is better,
it's good to have both. And it's
		
01:17:24 --> 01:17:28
			good to know when to do what we
have natural pre predispositions.
		
01:17:28 --> 01:17:30
			But if you look at also Selim,
he's already from the very
		
01:17:30 --> 01:17:35
			beginning, trying to think about
what would be a good complement
		
01:17:35 --> 01:17:37
			his own personality. So that's why
he's saying yeah, Allah, I would
		
01:17:37 --> 01:17:40
			love for Omar in the football,
Rama, the sham to become Muslims.
		
01:17:41 --> 01:17:45
			Yola, at least one of them. Why?
Because he knows that one of them
		
01:17:45 --> 01:17:47
			would be able to
		
01:17:48 --> 01:17:52
			position himself in a way that he
can take some pressure off of
		
01:17:52 --> 01:17:55
			Russell Wilson. So someone doesn't
have to do everything doesn't have
		
01:17:55 --> 01:17:59
			to be the gentle guy and the just
guy and if it's tough, but when
		
01:17:59 --> 01:18:03
			someone like, like Omar comes in,
it's going to take a huge relief.
		
01:18:03 --> 01:18:07
			He becomes the gate through which
many other people become Muslims,
		
01:18:07 --> 01:18:09
			right? Because sometimes we're
intimidated. But when we have
		
01:18:09 --> 01:18:12
			someone that got her back, Alma
was that was that guy that he
		
01:18:12 --> 01:18:15
			opened the door for many people to
become Muslims. So going back, why
		
01:18:15 --> 01:18:18
			am I saying all this? Going back
to the area?
		
01:18:19 --> 01:18:23
			Oh, eight? Can muda M OB?
		
01:18:25 --> 01:18:28
			lol ater in Canada, what
		
01:18:30 --> 01:18:33
			is getting us to think about the
potential in each individual. And
		
01:18:33 --> 01:18:35
			how that potential could be
really, really blessed by somebody
		
01:18:35 --> 01:18:39
			becoming Muslim, where their
potential could be lost by someone
		
01:18:39 --> 01:18:42
			not becoming Muslim and living up
to their expectations. Why is this
		
01:18:42 --> 01:18:47
			important? I look at myself and I
think about myself. What potential
		
01:18:47 --> 01:18:52
			did Allah put in me that I'm
missing out on by not being the
		
01:18:52 --> 01:18:56
			best possible Muslim that I can
lead by not connecting with him
		
01:18:56 --> 01:19:00
			genuinely. There's a lot of good
in me that is being muted through
		
01:19:00 --> 01:19:03
			that distance that I have between
between me and Allah subhanaw
		
01:19:03 --> 01:19:06
			taala so I'm thinking about okay,
I have to really connect to Allah
		
01:19:06 --> 01:19:11
			Subhana Allah. So the good that I
have within me can be brought out.
		
01:19:11 --> 01:19:15
			So the good that I can have within
me can be brought up a lot of
		
01:19:15 --> 01:19:20
			people Masha Allah here Salman and
Shafi Shafi are saying amazing
		
01:19:20 --> 01:19:23
			interpretation. May Allah bless
you and division for those
		
01:19:23 --> 01:19:28
			Toronto, Canada ylim entertainers
family nasiha now see it in the
		
01:19:28 --> 01:19:32
			button healthier. Indeed if he
does not stop with desist from
		
01:19:32 --> 01:19:34
			warning also sell them and
Intimidators will Salam, Allah
		
01:19:34 --> 01:19:38
			subhanaw taala will drag him by
his lying deceitful prefrontal
		
01:19:38 --> 01:19:39
			cortex forelock
		
01:19:40 --> 01:19:44
			and let him call on to whoever let
him call onto his Nadia, because
		
01:19:44 --> 01:19:49
			we will summon the angels. Indeed
Oh Mohamed, don't pay attention to
		
01:19:49 --> 01:19:53
			him. And continue prostrating and
continue growing and continue
		
01:19:53 --> 01:19:54
			going.
		
01:19:55 --> 01:19:58
			And you see this this is perhaps
one of the most powerful proofs
		
01:19:59 --> 01:19:59
			obviously
		
01:20:00 --> 01:20:04
			I'm being from Allah's habitat.
Because of Rasulullah, Selim was
		
01:20:04 --> 01:20:06
			looking for social power, if he's
looking for privilege or socio
		
01:20:06 --> 01:20:10
			economic advantage, or leadership,
if he was looking for any of that,
		
01:20:10 --> 01:20:13
			he was looking for any of that.
What would he have done would have
		
01:20:13 --> 01:20:16
			compromised, he would have
compromised when Koresh is
		
01:20:16 --> 01:20:20
			offering in power and fame and all
that. But he didn't. And from the
		
01:20:20 --> 01:20:23
			very beginning, when he's in a
position of weakness, at least, it
		
01:20:23 --> 01:20:27
			seems in terms of numbers and
power, he's still uncompromising.
		
01:20:29 --> 01:20:31
			Where does he get all this energy?
Where does he get all this
		
01:20:31 --> 01:20:34
			confidence? No, I'm going to stand
up, do whatever you want, I will
		
01:20:34 --> 01:20:38
			stand up for our last panel, I
will not compromise. Where is that
		
01:20:38 --> 01:20:41
			guidance coming from? It's coming
from ALLAH SubhanA. Tan, when
		
01:20:41 --> 01:20:44
			you're weak like that, and you're
one of one amongst many who are
		
01:20:44 --> 01:20:48
			opposing you, you don't have the
confidence to make such claims. So
		
01:20:48 --> 01:20:51
			bring it on, bring it into an
idea, bring your people bring your
		
01:20:51 --> 01:20:52
			Parliament bring your
		
01:20:54 --> 01:20:58
			I will continue worship and
continue prostrating. Now imagine
		
01:20:58 --> 01:21:02
			just another reflection very
quickly. Another reflection, the
		
01:21:02 --> 01:21:06
			beginning of the soul begins with
a color read. The ending of the
		
01:21:06 --> 01:21:11
			surah begins with Sajida. Wachtell
up. So reading, reading,
		
01:21:11 --> 01:21:19
			knowledge, humility, right leads
to should lead to worship safe.
		
01:21:19 --> 01:21:22
			And that will draw us closer to
Allah. So if you're wondering, how
		
01:21:22 --> 01:21:26
			do I get close to Allah, this is
the formula here, learn your
		
01:21:26 --> 01:21:30
			follow up. Genuinely for the sake
of Allah, know your limits that
		
01:21:30 --> 01:21:34
			you come from a substance that
sticks hangs limited, very small,
		
01:21:34 --> 01:21:34
			very
		
01:21:35 --> 01:21:36
			dismissed by many.
		
01:21:37 --> 01:21:41
			And practice a lived experience,
continue to pray because that
		
01:21:41 --> 01:21:44
			prayer will bring close to Allah.
And that closest will be shown to
		
01:21:44 --> 01:21:48
			be shown to you. That is a
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
		
01:21:49 --> 01:21:52
			formula in the Surah and final
reflections. Now let me open let
		
01:21:52 --> 01:21:57
			me open the floor for anybody who
would like to say something. And
		
01:21:57 --> 01:22:00
			remember, we're not here to do an
AMA facility and we're not gonna
		
01:22:00 --> 01:22:03
			say oh, here's what I think Allah
is saying here like, who are we to
		
01:22:03 --> 01:22:07
			do that? We're just reflecting. So
we're going to share our personal
		
01:22:07 --> 01:22:11
			reflections on the eight. What do
they get us to think about? What
		
01:22:11 --> 01:22:14
			did they get us to reflect on?
Not? What does Allah mean here?
		
01:22:14 --> 01:22:18
			Because who are we to say that? So
we're doing to the Buddha and
		
01:22:18 --> 01:22:23
			reflection, not to see and asking,
or making claims about Allah
		
01:22:23 --> 01:22:27
			Subhana Allah? Let me go through
the questions here.
		
01:22:28 --> 01:22:31
			What was the reason the Dow was
not public until a few years
		
01:22:31 --> 01:22:34
			later? Good question. And by the
way, if you want to come on and
		
01:22:34 --> 01:22:39
			you're ready to ask a question, I
will open up the food here. So
		
01:22:40 --> 01:22:43
			beautiful, just joined? Excellent.
There's just
		
01:22:44 --> 01:22:47
			one at a time. So sister,
actually, this looks like a
		
01:22:47 --> 01:22:49
			brother. No, what was the reason
that that was not public until a
		
01:22:49 --> 01:22:52
			few years? Very good question.
Very good.
		
01:22:54 --> 01:22:59
			So the Prophet Mohammed Salim,
he's now alone, he needs to build
		
01:22:59 --> 01:23:01
			some base before he goes out
publicly, because if he goes out
		
01:23:01 --> 01:23:02
			public is gonna get crushed.
		
01:23:04 --> 01:23:09
			Qureshi is not going to leave you
in a position where you can just
		
01:23:09 --> 01:23:12
			do whatever you want. So he has to
get at least some alliances, some
		
01:23:12 --> 01:23:16
			form of support. And that's what
Allah recommends and to do, first
		
01:23:16 --> 01:23:19
			begin with yourself, then share
privately with people. It's not
		
01:23:19 --> 01:23:21
			secret people kind of like knew
what's going on. But he's not
		
01:23:21 --> 01:23:25
			doing any public statements. So
that gives him some time to build
		
01:23:25 --> 01:23:29
			support, to have people that whose
lives are really transformed to
		
01:23:29 --> 01:23:33
			have the committed, loyal group of
people who have genuine trust and
		
01:23:33 --> 01:23:37
			genuine faith in Allah and Allah.
And then they then help him in
		
01:23:38 --> 01:23:41
			bringing that message publicly.
But even then, it was just what
		
01:23:41 --> 01:23:45
			were just 40 people 40 people, and
that becomes also some automat
		
01:23:45 --> 01:23:49
			Brother, no, say that this also
becomes the precedent for how we
		
01:23:49 --> 01:23:52
			should behave because sometimes
we're going to be in a position
		
01:23:52 --> 01:23:57
			where we're persecuted for our
faith. So Rasul Salam was publicly
		
01:23:57 --> 01:24:00
			from the very beginning would have
been incumbent upon all of us
		
01:24:00 --> 01:24:03
			regardless of situations to go
public in our Dawa, to call people
		
01:24:03 --> 01:24:06
			to stand up to stand up, but the
fact that he was able to do this
		
01:24:06 --> 01:24:07
			privately for three
		
01:24:21 --> 01:24:24
			do you want to tell sister Rosa
how much of the Quran you memorize
		
01:27:26 --> 01:27:27
			Okay,
		
01:27:28 --> 01:27:30
			it seems like we're back.
		
01:27:32 --> 01:27:35
			Set I'm on a call. I think we're
back sister Rana. Sorry about
		
01:27:35 --> 01:27:37
			that. I had some,
		
01:27:38 --> 01:27:40
			some disconnection for some
reason. Are we back?
		
01:27:42 --> 01:27:42
			Okay
		
01:27:47 --> 01:27:51
			sorry about that we had some
connection issues, but hamdulillah
		
01:27:51 --> 01:27:54
			we're back. So let's continue my
apologies for that. So what was
		
01:27:54 --> 01:27:57
			the reason that that was not
public until a few years, until a
		
01:27:57 --> 01:27:58
			few years later?
		
01:28:06 --> 01:28:09
			Okay, I think we're good here at
Hamdulillah. We're back. So what
		
01:28:09 --> 01:28:13
			was the reason that the Dow was
not public until a few years, we
		
01:28:13 --> 01:28:16
			mentioned, we mentioned that it
would have become the precedents
		
01:28:16 --> 01:28:19
			that at any moment in any history,
and anytime you have to come up
		
01:28:19 --> 01:28:22
			publicly, and you have to disclose
your belief, but an abuse of
		
01:28:22 --> 01:28:26
			silence gives us that serves as
the example through which we're
		
01:28:26 --> 01:28:31
			able to justify in moments that we
are persecuted, we keep that
		
01:28:31 --> 01:28:34
			belief private, we practice we
keep it private, but we don't have
		
01:28:34 --> 01:28:37
			to disclose and come out into the
community. So it becomes a
		
01:28:37 --> 01:28:41
			personal private connection with
Allah subhanaw taala that is
		
01:28:41 --> 01:28:44
			focused on ritual and focus on
worship. Again, the link
		
01:28:51 --> 01:28:51
			has.
		
01:29:00 --> 01:29:01
			Have that conversation.
		
01:29:03 --> 01:29:07
			All right. Let's look at some
questions here. Yes, he went
		
01:29:07 --> 01:29:09
			public when he ordered when he was
ordered by Allah Subhana. Allah.
		
01:29:10 --> 01:29:13
			Islam helps us identify our
strengths and guide us to guide us
		
01:29:13 --> 01:29:17
			guide. This guides us to further
polish ourselves and help us
		
01:29:17 --> 01:29:20
			identify our areas of
opportunities and provides us with
		
01:29:20 --> 01:29:23
			the methods to work on them.
Excellent, excellent. Excellent.
		
01:29:24 --> 01:29:27
			To our incentive, there has to be
an Arabic the default and it's
		
01:29:27 --> 01:29:32
			better to do so. Yes. cinematical.
How often is this held? And what
		
01:29:32 --> 01:29:36
			times? brother Sam RRB. There's a
group in WhatsApp that has all the
		
01:29:36 --> 01:29:40
			details. Inshallah, if someone can
post it to brother Sam, or someone
		
01:29:40 --> 01:29:43
			can post it to the comments there
that will be really appreciated.
		
01:29:43 --> 01:29:44
			And if you sign up in sha Allah
		
01:29:46 --> 01:29:49
			with the website, you'll be able
to get the information by it and
		
01:29:49 --> 01:29:52
			this is the part we were put to
crown during President excellent,
		
01:29:52 --> 01:29:53
			excellent, excellent.
		
01:29:55 --> 01:29:57
			Allah bless you all and gives you
enough for those perfect so let's
		
01:29:57 --> 01:29:59
			open Inshallah, for those of you
who joins
		
01:30:00 --> 01:30:01
			I see some.
		
01:30:02 --> 01:30:05
			I think what happened is we put a
lot of pressure when we brought
		
01:30:05 --> 01:30:08
			everybody in. So I'm just gonna
bring one person at a time. One
		
01:30:08 --> 01:30:12
			person at a time in sha Allah
Tala, let's bring in let's bring
		
01:30:12 --> 01:30:13
			in first
		
01:30:15 --> 01:30:16
			sister Diana, go ahead
		
01:30:24 --> 01:30:25
			Sorry, can can you hear me?
		
01:30:29 --> 01:30:32
			Great height, pain, incredible
odds
		
01:30:42 --> 01:30:43
			you mentioned
		
01:30:45 --> 01:30:46
			physician focusing.
		
01:30:49 --> 01:30:49
			Okay.
		
01:30:51 --> 01:30:55
			Okay, so So then I go ahead. Okay.
So earlier
		
01:30:56 --> 01:31:00
			with regards to the first part of
sort of Donald, you mentioned
		
01:31:00 --> 01:31:02
			cumulative culture when you talked
about
		
01:31:03 --> 01:31:04
			Liliana number column.
		
01:31:06 --> 01:31:09
			And, you know, coming from a psych
background that really fascinated
		
01:31:09 --> 01:31:13
			me so Pamela, because right after
our last month, it talks about
		
01:31:13 --> 01:31:18
			hyperlocal incentive and Allah and
everything that that means and
		
01:31:18 --> 01:31:22
			refers to in terms of how humble
our beginnings were, Allah Subhana
		
01:31:22 --> 01:31:25
			Allah talks about it a little bit
economic and how generous he can
		
01:31:25 --> 01:31:30
			be through his education of us.
And then a lady I remembered
		
01:31:30 --> 01:31:33
			column. And a lot of
anthropologists and psychologists
		
01:31:33 --> 01:31:36
			and biologists talk about
		
01:31:38 --> 01:31:43
			cumulative culture as something
that distinguishes humanity. And
		
01:31:43 --> 01:31:48
			probably the reason why we have
advanced so far ahead of every
		
01:31:48 --> 01:31:49
			other kind of species
		
01:31:51 --> 01:31:54
			is no definition of human culture,
for those who just aren't familiar
		
01:31:54 --> 01:31:55
			is
		
01:31:56 --> 01:32:00
			often thought of as something that
no human being could do on their
		
01:32:00 --> 01:32:02
			own. So it's,
		
01:32:03 --> 01:32:03
			it's like
		
01:32:05 --> 01:32:06
			innovation.
		
01:32:07 --> 01:32:13
			So a tool becomes more advanced as
generations one, because of how
		
01:32:13 --> 01:32:21
			the forefathers, transmit and
continue to innovate after each
		
01:32:21 --> 01:32:27
			others. So that really impacted me
in terms of the weight of the
		
01:32:27 --> 01:32:30
			animal column from a psychological
and anthropological perspective,
		
01:32:30 --> 01:32:35
			just like a muppet. Just like my
head that's an excellent point
		
01:32:35 --> 01:32:37
			imagine I limit the column he
talked through the pen
		
01:32:39 --> 01:32:43
			is connected here but Siddhanta to
the concept of you know,
		
01:32:43 --> 01:32:46
			cumulative culture and how that
distinguishes us as human beings
		
01:32:46 --> 01:32:50
			from other species excellent
reflection, just like Mallanna
		
01:32:50 --> 01:32:53
			anybody else's stuff is here. Are
you ready? Sort of
		
01:32:56 --> 01:32:57
			Go ahead. The floor is yours.
		
01:32:59 --> 01:32:59
			Yes.
		
01:33:03 --> 01:33:05
			Do you have a question we have
reflection
		
01:33:15 --> 01:33:20
			Okay, does anybody else sisterhood
Allah sisterhood? Allah you're on
		
01:33:20 --> 01:33:22
			sisterhood? Allah you're on? Go
ahead.
		
01:33:23 --> 01:33:24
			Cinema like
		
01:33:26 --> 01:33:30
			are they from Sudan? I came in a
bit late. So I don't really
		
01:33:31 --> 01:33:34
			have like much to say, actually, I
don't have anything.
		
01:33:35 --> 01:33:40
			Okay. So Allah, Allah bless you.
And by anybody else with
		
01:33:40 --> 01:33:43
			questions, or reflections.
		
01:33:44 --> 01:33:47
			Fear May Allah bless you in
division as for those if you have
		
01:33:47 --> 01:33:51
			any questions in sha Allah to
Allah, the the WhatsApp group is
		
01:33:51 --> 01:33:54
			there you can send your questions
there. I just wanted to finish up
		
01:33:54 --> 01:33:57
			the same way Allah bless you
Hamdulillah we have completed some
		
01:33:57 --> 01:34:01
			initial reflections and saw that
and I hope they're beneficial.
		
01:34:01 --> 01:34:04
			We'll be posting the notes
inshallah sooner most of you
		
01:34:04 --> 01:34:07
			should have the notes by now,
there are some additional points
		
01:34:07 --> 01:34:09
			that we didn't mention that were
not in the notes. It's up to you
		
01:34:09 --> 01:34:12
			Inshallah, to make sure that you
feel and update those notes and
		
01:34:12 --> 01:34:15
			we'll be posting the quiz
inshallah for the first lecture so
		
01:34:15 --> 01:34:19
			that you're able to go back to it
inshallah and learn through taking
		
01:34:19 --> 01:34:21
			that quiz. May Allah bless you
give you Janet for those. Thank
		
01:34:21 --> 01:34:24
