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

Allah is when you're in sujood. So increase the DUA and then you saw

constantly will not be touched by jahannam. And the hadith is there
for you who want to read it in the notes. And of course every stage
that removes a sin and mistake and elevates you in the rank or bad

one bad deed for every soldier that he makes. And Allah subhanaw

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