00:03:31 --> 00:03:35

Smilla from the law salatu salam ala Rasulillah while he was so

00:03:35 --> 00:03:38

happy woman who Allah I ask Allah Subhana Allah to bless all of you,

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

and to give us all the best in dunya and Ashura. Yeah, I mean, I

00:03:42 --> 00:03:47

mean, I mean, last classes we discussed Seurat, Allah anak which

00:03:47 --> 00:03:51

was the first Surah of the Quran to be revealed. Tonight inshallah

00:03:51 --> 00:03:55

to Allah, we're going to be discussing the second surah of the

00:03:55 --> 00:03:59

Quran to be revealed. And we discussed last time that there was

00:03:59 --> 00:04:03

a period of gap and by the way, the notes are going to have the

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

details inshallah Tada. So I'm going to encourage all of you who

00:04:05 --> 00:04:09

are watching to please consult the notes for the citations and the

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12

sources just to be able to familiarize yourself not just with

00:04:12 --> 00:04:16

the storytelling aspect, then all this translation aspect of it, but

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

also to be familiar with the sources inshallah time. So last

00:04:19 --> 00:04:22

time we spoke, we said that Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam

00:04:23 --> 00:04:28

received the first five Aya of Surah Alana and after that he rent

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

his wife for support. She supported him said beautiful

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34

words, Allah who will never disappoint you. So technically,

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

she believed in him at a moment when he was a little confused

00:04:38 --> 00:04:42

about where things may go. After she supported him. She took him to

00:04:42 --> 00:04:46

Morocco, and Wanaka explained to him what he should expect that

00:04:46 --> 00:04:49

Allah Subhana Allah will choose him and empower him and give him a

00:04:49 --> 00:04:53

message and make him a messenger and a prophet. And he told him to

00:04:53 --> 00:04:56

expect difficult and challenging times that his people would force

00:04:56 --> 00:05:00

him out of his home after that, and abuse Allah salah.

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

I was in confusion for a period for a period. Some people say this

00:05:04 --> 00:05:09

period was a month some people say was 40 days. But we know it was

00:05:09 --> 00:05:12

around 3040 days the Hadith actually says that Rasulillah

00:05:12 --> 00:05:16

Salam, the Hadith attributed to Rasulillah Salam. And again, the

00:05:16 --> 00:05:20

authentication will be mentioned in the notes. The hadith says the

00:05:20 --> 00:05:23

Rasul of Salem was looking for Jabril wonder, where's God? Is he

00:05:23 --> 00:05:26

going to show up again, is he going to come again. And he was

00:05:26 --> 00:05:30

wondering, for a period of 40 days, or 30 days, eventually,

00:05:31 --> 00:05:35

he is walking in the street. And as he's walking in the street, he

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

hears the voice, he hears the same voice of the angel that he

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

encountered when the he encountered in the Hall of *.

00:05:43 --> 00:05:44

But now he's not in the heart of Hello, he's walking in the

00:05:44 --> 00:05:48

streets. And this is again a time when he was beginning to lose

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

hope, maybe Gibreel is never going to come again. Maybe this was just

00:05:51 --> 00:05:54

a one time thing. Maybe I made it up. Maybe I imagined it. Maybe

00:05:54 --> 00:05:56

this maybe that maybe it was from Sherpa, and maybe it was from the

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

devil. And we know that all of these assumptions were taking

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01

place because he consulted his wife and told her I don't know

00:06:01 --> 00:06:04

what's happening to me. And she comforted him for comforted him,

00:06:04 --> 00:06:07

and give him that support in that very difficult moment in his life.

00:06:08 --> 00:06:11

After that, when he looks up, so first, he looks at the right looks

00:06:11 --> 00:06:14

to the left, looks in front of him looks behind him, doesn't see the

00:06:14 --> 00:06:18

angel. And eventually he looks down nothing. So eventually, he's

00:06:18 --> 00:06:22

told to look up, or he looks up, and he sees Gibreel, he sees the

00:06:22 --> 00:06:27

angel Jibreel, sitting on some sort of Throne, with a very, very

00:06:27 --> 00:06:31

magnificent form a very powerful form. And the angel tells him,

00:06:33 --> 00:06:38

Yeah, you heard or the angel tells him, reveals to him reveals to him

00:06:38 --> 00:06:42

some form of aid, or tells him it's time to receive the next

00:06:42 --> 00:06:48

idea, or tells him some form of aid that we are really unsure

00:06:48 --> 00:06:52

about. So some form of revelation takes place. So he rushes back to

00:06:52 --> 00:06:56

his wife. And he's so again stressed out that he tells her

00:06:56 --> 00:07:00

cover me, cover me cover me, that fear only that fear only cover me.

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

So she covers him. And as he's being covered, he receives now the

00:07:06 --> 00:07:09

Revelation, he receives the Revelation, he received surah and

00:07:09 --> 00:07:12

with death, and when we say he received the revelation, he

00:07:12 --> 00:07:15

doesn't receive the full Surah at once, because there are two parts

00:07:15 --> 00:07:20

of the surah there are two parts of the surah that make it seem

00:07:20 --> 00:07:23

that these sections came afterwards, not immediately on at

00:07:23 --> 00:07:29

the very beginning the map, and this one is this one is the eye if

00:07:29 --> 00:07:33

you look at a 31 woman, Janos have a nerd Elimelech the length of the

00:07:33 --> 00:07:36

eye is too long for it to be considered to be a Meccan surah.

00:07:36 --> 00:07:40

So many of the older men actually consider this to be a later Meccan

00:07:40 --> 00:07:44

Surah a much, much later, not an early Meccan Surah are considered

00:07:44 --> 00:07:49

to be Emma Dean and Surah all together demand. Also the idea of

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

the idea towards the end when Allah subhanaw taala tells also

00:07:53 --> 00:07:57

Sillim to convey the message or family, humanity, the karate

00:07:57 --> 00:08:00

Merlin, why is that they are denying or turning away from the

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

message. Technically, there is no denial yet, we're turning away

00:08:04 --> 00:08:07

from the message to an extent that the Quran would comment upon it.

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

So this suggests that the later section of the surah came at a

00:08:11 --> 00:08:15

later time. So it's safe to say that the first section of the

00:08:15 --> 00:08:20

surah until until you're 30. So the first 30 I will reveal to the

00:08:20 --> 00:08:26

Prophet Mohammed Salim there. Others say that actually, it was

00:08:26 --> 00:08:30

the first 10 ayat, and then not only woman halacha to a Heda would

00:08:30 --> 00:08:34

be revealed later. The evidence, however, points to the fact that

00:08:34 --> 00:08:39

up until a 30 came all at once to the Prophet Mohammed Al Salam,

00:08:39 --> 00:08:44

when he's being covered when he's being covered by idea of the

00:08:44 --> 00:08:48

Allahu Ana. So that's one way to read the events. Another way to

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

read the events is actually Rasulullah. Selim received the

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

revelation in the heart of Hara, and he went to his wife saying,

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

cover me, cover me cover me. So finally, when Djibouti rally Salam

00:08:59 --> 00:09:03

came again, after a period of 30, or 40 days, and rosewholesale and

00:09:03 --> 00:09:06

looked up, that's when you read revealed the ayat Surah. Talmud,

00:09:07 --> 00:09:12

the first, the first 10 or 30, ayat of surah, two deaths were

00:09:12 --> 00:09:13

revealed.

00:09:14 --> 00:09:18

What revealed at that time, to Rasulillah Salam, and yet even

00:09:18 --> 00:09:21

with that said, Here is a reference Owen was covered is a

00:09:21 --> 00:09:24

reference to this the fact he was covered by Khadija, when he

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

received Surah Tilak. So technically, there's the first

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

opinion which he received the revelation from Jabri when he saw

00:09:31 --> 00:09:35

Gibreel and looked up, and second, he ran to his wife saw told her to

00:09:35 --> 00:09:39

comfort him again. And finally he received the revelation there.

00:09:39 --> 00:09:42

Either way, technicalities important to think about to

00:09:42 --> 00:09:46

consider, but at the end of the day, what's more important is the

00:09:46 --> 00:09:49

relevance of the ayat and the meaning of the IRA. So let's look

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

at that together. Allah Subhana Allah begins the surah by saying,

00:09:54 --> 00:09:58

Yeah, you hit him with death. Yeah, you her and him with death.

00:09:59 --> 00:10:00

Let me share the notes here.

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

insha Allah so that you're able to hopefully benefit from seeing them

00:10:04 --> 00:10:05

as well

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24

okay vague

00:10:26 --> 00:10:27

All right, let's make that a little

00:10:28 --> 00:10:29

more manageable

00:10:38 --> 00:10:43

so yeah, you have a desert. Literally it's read as a one who's

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

covered, covered and would differ and and with death it is the

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

merged various version of El Moutere. That literally means the

00:10:52 --> 00:10:55

one who's covered but what does it mean for the Prophet Muhammad

00:10:55 --> 00:10:58

Salim to be covered, some of them for serene say that he was

00:10:58 --> 00:11:02

covered, as in he was being prepared for unveiling you know

00:11:02 --> 00:11:07

when you cover a car, and that car is waiting to be unveiled. And

00:11:07 --> 00:11:12

finally it's time now for that car to be unveiled it as if some of

00:11:12 --> 00:11:15

them will soon understand that Allah subhanaw taala has been

00:11:15 --> 00:11:18

preparing the Prophet Mohammed Salman, through his childhood

00:11:18 --> 00:11:21

through his teenage teenage hood through his adult life. And now

00:11:21 --> 00:11:26

it's finally the time for Rasulillah salam to unveil or to

00:11:26 --> 00:11:30

be unveiled to the world. Others say that he was now being called

00:11:30 --> 00:11:34

and would differ as in he's now being closed with prophethood as

00:11:34 --> 00:11:37

though the garment imagine when you're initiating somebody like

00:11:37 --> 00:11:41

your, your, your, your, your knighting somebody, you give them

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

the uniform, and then you initiate them. So somebody might understand

00:11:44 --> 00:11:47

this to be the fact that it's a reference to the fact that is

00:11:47 --> 00:11:52

being initiated into prophethood. Others say he's now being prepared

00:11:52 --> 00:11:56

and groomed. So he's being told, you're now sitting, sitting back

00:11:56 --> 00:12:00

and being covered and resting and you know, covered being covered in

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

the blankets or being covered in the being covered in the blankets

00:12:04 --> 00:12:07

and being covered in the arms of your family in your comfort zone.

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

Get up. Yeah, you will definitely oh one who's covered, get up and

00:12:12 --> 00:12:18

do what home for and get up and show the message teach the

00:12:18 --> 00:12:23

message. In the there are two linguistics schools. One says the

00:12:23 --> 00:12:27

NR is to generally give an announcement to make an

00:12:27 --> 00:12:30

announcement. And others say in that is to actually warm in

00:12:30 --> 00:12:34

Lourdes to actually want. So this could be read as Owen was covered,

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

out of fear out of sorrow and grief, out of sadness out of being

00:12:39 --> 00:12:43

overwhelmed, out of being cold. These are all possibilities. And

00:12:43 --> 00:12:46

the information is there for you, for you to read. So for example,

00:12:46 --> 00:12:49

out of fear, why is he covering out of fear, because he's

00:12:49 --> 00:12:51

overwhelmed with the encounter of God? Why is he covered out of

00:12:51 --> 00:12:54

sorrow, because his own people that loved him and admired him and

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

respected him are potentially going to dismiss him based on the

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

advice and the words of what occurred out of sadness out of

00:13:00 --> 00:13:04

sadness, because the revelation did not come for a period of 40

00:13:04 --> 00:13:06

days, out of also being overwhelmed the fact that it's a

00:13:06 --> 00:13:10

very heavy responsibility, that he's expecting the confusion, the

00:13:10 --> 00:13:14

worry, or simply out of being cold. If we say that the first

00:13:15 --> 00:13:18

revelation took place in Ramadan, and then now there's a period of

00:13:18 --> 00:13:22

30 or 40 days, if you do the calculations, you will see that at

00:13:22 --> 00:13:26

that time, the temperature would have been very low at a 10 degrees

00:13:26 --> 00:13:30

or so some orlimar have made that assumption, and did some

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

calculations and said that you could have been covered, I would

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

have been cold. At the end of the day. All of those are

00:13:35 --> 00:13:38

possibilities. And also it's possible, as we mentioned earlier,

00:13:38 --> 00:13:41

they could have been covered in preparation for unveiling, clothed

00:13:41 --> 00:13:44

with prophethood and dress for prophethood. Or now he's being

00:13:44 --> 00:13:48

told that you're going to take on a new persona you're going to take

00:13:48 --> 00:13:51

on for a refined persona, and that's why you're going to be

00:13:51 --> 00:13:55

groomed and purified and prepared by discovering that Allah Subhana

00:13:55 --> 00:13:58

Allah is going to shower you and cover you with something which is

00:13:58 --> 00:14:02

very beautiful. Now all of these are possibilities but the most,

00:14:03 --> 00:14:06

the most feasible and the strongest is the he was covered

00:14:06 --> 00:14:11

out of fear out of grief, out of sorrow, out of sadness, out of

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

being overwhelmed. And now he's being told to get up out of that

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

cozy, comfortable zone and get up and teach and inspire and educate

00:14:19 --> 00:14:22

because Allah subhanaw taala has chosen has chosen you. Now what's

00:14:22 --> 00:14:28

interesting is an Elmo death it can also be understood as the one

00:14:28 --> 00:14:31

who is covered in privilege, the one who's covered in privileged,

00:14:31 --> 00:14:34

or the one who's covered in comfort. For example, Rasulullah

00:14:34 --> 00:14:41

salami says that the unsolved the unsolved are my shower and you are

00:14:41 --> 00:14:44

my de thought so that she is the clothing that touches your

00:14:44 --> 00:14:48

immediate skin. And that the thought that the thought is the

00:14:48 --> 00:14:52

thing that you wear on the outside. So when do you start to

00:14:52 --> 00:14:56

wear layers and layers and layers outside? You know, you have your

00:14:56 --> 00:14:59

layers that you need that you need to kind of stay warm, but then

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

when you start

00:15:00 --> 00:15:04

wearing you know, jackets and ties and extra layers. When you are

00:15:04 --> 00:15:07

wealthy when you are privileged when you're very comfortable when

00:15:07 --> 00:15:11

you are living in luxury, when you have affluence, so Rasulo Selim,

00:15:11 --> 00:15:16

some of them are students say that he's being told, don't get too

00:15:16 --> 00:15:20

comfortable in the privilege and in the life and in all of this,

00:15:20 --> 00:15:24

that you begin to be consumed by that get up from that comfort and

00:15:24 --> 00:15:28

from that luxury, and stand up for Allah Subhana. Allah, home for and

00:15:28 --> 00:15:31

there for. And now for ended. Remember, we said there are two

00:15:31 --> 00:15:35

ways to understand the word general It could mean to share, to

00:15:35 --> 00:15:39

educate, or specifically could mean to warm. So both meanings are

00:15:40 --> 00:15:42

valid, if you take the opinion that it means to share and one

00:15:42 --> 00:15:45

very simple, he's been told to get up and teach what he's receiving.

00:15:46 --> 00:15:50

But if you take the opinion that it means to warn, then this could

00:15:50 --> 00:15:53

also be understood as a list of priorities that Allah Subhana

00:15:53 --> 00:15:57

Allah is giving him a list of priorities. Before you give good

00:15:57 --> 00:16:01

news, you have to warn, because the society has gotten so corrupt,

00:16:01 --> 00:16:06

and so immersed in oppression and injustice, that you can't just

00:16:06 --> 00:16:10

share good news and go out and, and kind of you know, be nice, you

00:16:10 --> 00:16:14

have to be very firm, and you have to really, really make the point

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

clear or else people are not going to listen. So he's being told by

00:16:17 --> 00:16:21

Allah subhanaw taala to get up, to get up and to be very firm, to be

00:16:21 --> 00:16:25

very firm in standing up. And in making it clear that the the,

00:16:26 --> 00:16:30

there's a there's a grave, difficult situation at hand that

00:16:30 --> 00:16:33

needs to be rectified, and needs to be fixed in order for it to be

00:16:33 --> 00:16:36

fixed. The Prophet Mohammed Salah needs to get up, and he needs to

00:16:36 --> 00:16:42

teach wounds and what Becca for Kibber Rebecca for Kibber is very,

00:16:42 --> 00:16:46

very beautiful. What up because I kept that here literally means and

00:16:46 --> 00:16:53

you Lord me great. Your Lord. Honor your Lord exalt exalt Your

00:16:53 --> 00:16:57

Lord. So make Allah Subhana Allah and you're number one, you know,

00:16:57 --> 00:17:01

as you're going to look at this responsibility, you want to think

00:17:01 --> 00:17:04

it's such a big deal. It's such a great responsibility. Imagine if I

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

tell you, your job is to transform the education at your university,

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

or your job is to transform the company, change it completely, you

00:17:13 --> 00:17:16

have to all of these injustices and things that are happening, you

00:17:16 --> 00:17:18

have to change them. You think that's a big deal, especially if

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

it's a large enough company, it also means being sent here to

00:17:21 --> 00:17:24

change not just a company, not just a family or two, but to

00:17:24 --> 00:17:28

change society to warn not just a group of people that is, you know,

00:17:28 --> 00:17:31

that a small but a large group of people, and he's going to come to

00:17:31 --> 00:17:34

find that soon. So when you're, when you're carrying that weight,

00:17:34 --> 00:17:37

it's difficult to carry it by yourself. So Allah subhanaw taala

00:17:37 --> 00:17:42

is reminding him, if the weight gets great and feels heavy, make

00:17:42 --> 00:17:46

Allah greater in your mind, in your heart. Remember that Allah is

00:17:46 --> 00:17:49

greater. Remember that Allah is more capable. Remember that Allah

00:17:49 --> 00:17:53

is more honorable. And if you do so, Allah Subhana Allah will make

00:17:53 --> 00:17:57

it easier for you to withstand and to deliver and to carry that

00:17:57 --> 00:18:01

responsibility out. Well Rebecca for the third, so imagine this is

00:18:01 --> 00:18:05

important for any person who wants to do doubt. Any person wants to

00:18:05 --> 00:18:10

share a message or stand up to teach or to stand up to, to, to,

00:18:10 --> 00:18:13

to basically educate. So first thing you have to do is you have

00:18:13 --> 00:18:16

to get out of your comfort zone. Next one is you got to stand tall

00:18:16 --> 00:18:20

and strong, be confident, get up, move to the occasion, get moving,

00:18:20 --> 00:18:23

you have to have that confidence. You can't just be sitting there

00:18:23 --> 00:18:27

and oh yeah, no, you have to be very firm. And that's one of the

00:18:27 --> 00:18:30

gifts I kept but and then third make Allah Subhana Allah greets

00:18:30 --> 00:18:34

honor Allah subhanaw taala in everything that you do forth with

00:18:34 --> 00:18:38

the Becca photo here. So been out of it literally refers to the

00:18:38 --> 00:18:42

clothing, the clothing that you're wearing, but also more generally

00:18:42 --> 00:18:47

refers to, it refers to it refers to your reputation, anything that

00:18:47 --> 00:18:50

people see of you, ie your reputation. So third is your

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

reputation, make your reputation pure, make what people see from

00:18:54 --> 00:18:59

you, pure market yourself, well, a lot of people who end up giving

00:18:59 --> 00:19:04

dower ended up doing good for a short period of time. But what

00:19:04 --> 00:19:09

ends up happening, the things that they do in private, because they

00:19:09 --> 00:19:12

don't hold themselves up to the same level of scrutiny as they did

00:19:12 --> 00:19:15

at the very beginning. Their moral compass gets corrupted along the

00:19:15 --> 00:19:17

way. Or maybe from the very beginning. They didn't take the

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

time to purify themselves, what ends up happening, the evil that

00:19:22 --> 00:19:25

they've done, or the bad things that they do, or the failures that

00:19:25 --> 00:19:30

they have, end up coming back to really ruin the reputation and to

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

compromise their message. And there's so much poetry. If you

00:19:34 --> 00:19:37

look at the Muslim tradition that talks about the examples of people

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

who are doing great, and then they fell and because they felt they

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

became a fitna at trial and a source a source of tests for

00:19:45 --> 00:19:48

people around them. So for example, with the Arabic If Allah

00:19:48 --> 00:19:52

here means what means were good clothing. Were beautiful clothing

00:19:52 --> 00:19:56

that people can respect wearing attire that people can appreciate.

00:19:56 --> 00:19:59

And also Salamone used to send ambassadors to various localities.

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

He

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

We'll tell them, this community appreciates if you wear their

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

clothing. So where this community doesn't appreciate your clothing,

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

so don't wear, it doesn't appreciate you wearing their

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

clothing. So don't wear their clothing wear yours. So maybe some

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

was conscious to keep in mind what the companions are going to wear.

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

And also keep in mind, what he's going to wear, what message are

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

you sending, by your attire? What statement are you making, in terms

00:20:23 --> 00:20:26

of being on the inside and also being on the outside fitting in,

00:20:27 --> 00:20:30

but not too much. So those are important decisions that you have

00:20:30 --> 00:20:34

to think about. So with the Arabic and Fatah hair, make your clothing

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

your reputation, beautiful, you can't be telling people to not

00:20:37 --> 00:20:41

steal, not lie, not cheat, but you're doing the opposite. You

00:20:41 --> 00:20:44

can't be you know, having illegitimate relationships or

00:20:45 --> 00:20:50

making those sinful decisions and sinful behaviors in private and

00:20:50 --> 00:20:54

then in public. It's a very different Yani a different or

00:20:54 --> 00:20:55

discrepancy between what you're saying and what you're doing.

00:20:56 --> 00:20:59

Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran, limit, Apolo and ml that if

00:20:59 --> 00:21:02

I don't, why do you say that what you don't do? And Allah Subhana

00:21:02 --> 00:21:06

Allah Allah also mentioned at that moon and NASA availability, and so

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

on and full circle, when tinted lumen Kitab FL adapt, they don't?

00:21:09 --> 00:21:12

Why is it that you teach people to do good and you educate people and

00:21:12 --> 00:21:15

inspire people to do good, but then at the end what's happening?

00:21:15 --> 00:21:19

You yourselves? Don't do that. So with yogic Africa here, always

00:21:19 --> 00:21:22

make your reputation clean. And we're not talking about just major

00:21:22 --> 00:21:25

sins we're talking about even the smallest things like that Corona

00:21:25 --> 00:21:28

severe rotten energy Ballymun and hustle and abuse Allah Selim,

00:21:28 --> 00:21:33

whenever someone gave him a gift, yes, he would accept it. But he

00:21:33 --> 00:21:36

would return back the gift and much, much more. He didn't take

00:21:36 --> 00:21:40

any single penny less Hola, como la jolla. He didn't take money

00:21:40 --> 00:21:43

from people he didn't make his message about generating profits

00:21:43 --> 00:21:46

so that nobody would ever be in a situation to think Aha, I know why

00:21:46 --> 00:21:49

Mohammed did it Allahumma salli wa Salam wa barik ala Muhammad, I

00:21:49 --> 00:21:52

know that he did it for money or for this or for that he rejected

00:21:52 --> 00:21:56

all offerings of money, power, prestige, women, any of that,

00:21:57 --> 00:22:01

because for him, the focus, excuse me, was on delivering the message

00:22:01 --> 00:22:05

and being firm and clear. And having Allah subhanaw taala as

00:22:05 --> 00:22:09

he's number one, we're rouge is a federal court, which is a federal

00:22:09 --> 00:22:13

rule just literally means, by the way, this is, you know, this is

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

this is important here, because an abuse of Salem and it will Salem

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

was not an abuse of Salem was not ever in a position where he

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

worship other than Allah subhana TTAN. So what would you say

00:22:25 --> 00:22:30

pharyngeal literally it means and abandon any kind of filth, any

00:22:30 --> 00:22:34

kind of impurity, any kind of wrong, any kind of thing that

00:22:34 --> 00:22:38

could taint your reputation, that could dishonor discredit you,

00:22:39 --> 00:22:44

or be a source of negativity for your message have a negative

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

impact on your message? What would you say what would you

00:22:47 --> 00:22:51

specifically are ridges, is specifically refers to either

00:22:51 --> 00:22:55

worshipping or pagan worshipping, or being involved or associated

00:22:55 --> 00:22:58

with any kind of ritual that is pagan in its form. And they say

00:22:58 --> 00:23:01

that here's a command come into the facility to stay far away from

00:23:01 --> 00:23:04

any of that, and other lmsc No, it doesn't make sense because

00:23:04 --> 00:23:08

interviews are seldom never, never bow to an idol. So he can't be

00:23:08 --> 00:23:12

told here to not or to disengage from pagan worship, because he

00:23:12 --> 00:23:16

never engaged in pagan worship to begin with. So, just be aware of

00:23:16 --> 00:23:20

the you know, the nuances of the discussion, sometimes they the

00:23:20 --> 00:23:24

person will say, what which is essential here refers to your

00:23:24 --> 00:23:27

followers, so not only should you disassociate from the pagan

00:23:27 --> 00:23:31

worship and idols, but or idols, but you should also recommend and

00:23:31 --> 00:23:35

advise and encourage your companions and your followers and

00:23:35 --> 00:23:37

the people that will call themselves Muslim to do the same.

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

And remember when he was selling was not the only Hanif, there were

00:23:40 --> 00:23:42

many foreigners, not a large number, but when in fact, were

00:23:42 --> 00:23:46

people who deviated away from the norm, literally. Hanif means to

00:23:46 --> 00:23:49

break away from the norm which is pagan idol worship, and to commit

00:23:49 --> 00:23:53

to Allah Subhana Allah for example, one of the poems says her

00:23:53 --> 00:23:57

job to learn I will Rosa Gallica founder gel to Cebu federal Russa

00:23:57 --> 00:24:02

dean will have Natalia wll Sona, my Benny Ambu Zulu what I can I

00:24:02 --> 00:24:06

will do Rockman Robbie Leung will follow them we are Rob will have a

00:24:06 --> 00:24:10

photo. This is an example of early poetry that survived the shows

00:24:10 --> 00:24:13

there were people who believed in Allah subhanaw taala. He says here

00:24:13 --> 00:24:17

the poem says where the poet says, abandon the lat and the roses

00:24:17 --> 00:24:22

altogether for this indeed is an act of enduring that is done by

00:24:22 --> 00:24:26

the patient believer, I take no religion in Orissa nor its two

00:24:26 --> 00:24:30

daughters, nor do I visit the idols of Birmingham only worship a

00:24:30 --> 00:24:35

rough man, the Merciful My lord, hoping that my sin is forgiven by

00:24:35 --> 00:24:39

the most forgiven. So this is again an example of the people who

00:24:39 --> 00:24:43

used to be heard and fat before Islam before Islam. So with the

00:24:43 --> 00:24:46

Arabic and Fatah here, we're which is the federal let's go back to

00:24:46 --> 00:24:50

again, the idea of wearing good clothing. I want to just give you

00:24:50 --> 00:24:54

a quote here, that is usually attributed to a layman and even if

00:24:54 --> 00:24:57

you thought it were it said that he said as you this year, but in

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59

the sight of a NASA they know Rich

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

Libya to us or to Colombo whether it's a world war or fear to how to

00:25:05 --> 00:25:09

have a woman so for law we are met with you know what a tune for

00:25:09 --> 00:25:13

ourselves so big lac Lucas wolferton. In the ILA he went to

00:25:13 --> 00:25:17

Aberdeen majorem What the * without will be liable broke about

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

the duction ILA with a tepee ma your room, when you're choosing

00:25:22 --> 00:25:27

clothes choose well for clothing is the grace of the human being

00:25:27 --> 00:25:31

the grace of the men through which they're honored and the race and

00:25:31 --> 00:25:35

drop this notion of reducing humidity to simply wearing low

00:25:35 --> 00:25:38

clothing for Allah knows what you can see and what you keep hidden.

00:25:39 --> 00:25:42

The lowness of your clothing does not draw you closer to your Lord

00:25:42 --> 00:25:46

when your transgressive slave, and the radiance of your clothing does

00:25:46 --> 00:25:51

not hurt you, after you feared the Lord and avoided what has been

00:25:51 --> 00:25:54

forgive forbidden what has been forbidden, which is again, a loose

00:25:54 --> 00:25:57

translation of the poem. It's very powerful. But the idea here is

00:25:57 --> 00:26:00

that it is good for the Muslim to dress and to wear beautiful

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

clothing and and it was salam actually encouraged it. And Earth

00:26:03 --> 00:26:06

men have not found out the rough man. And now we're known for

00:26:06 --> 00:26:09

having very beautiful clothing. And some of them actually wore

00:26:09 --> 00:26:12

clothing that was a little too flashy. And one of the companions

00:26:12 --> 00:26:16

asked, Why are you wearing this? And he said, Well, my my wife

00:26:16 --> 00:26:20

likes it when I wear this. And I expect her to wear good for me. So

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

I know that I have to do the same. And he quoted the Iowa winner Miss

00:26:24 --> 00:26:29

Ludhiana in Lebanon rules. And to them is the same as what is

00:26:29 --> 00:26:33

expected of them to them is the same as what is expected of them.

00:26:33 --> 00:26:35

You know, sometimes you look at a chef and say, Oh, why is he

00:26:35 --> 00:26:38

wearing such beautiful clothing? Or why is this person wearing,

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

it's good to wear beautiful clothing as long as it doesn't get

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

to your head. And as long as it doesn't become the thing that

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

defines you. Right as long as you are using it as an opportunity to

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

market the good that Allah has given you on the inside. So you

00:26:51 --> 00:26:54

fix yourself inside, and then the clothing becomes the marketing the

00:26:54 --> 00:26:59

cherry on top, what I attempt to stack fit, well attempt known the

00:26:59 --> 00:27:03

stack, this is very, very powerful, very powerful. I love

00:27:03 --> 00:27:06

this one item on the stack that could be understood in a few ways.

00:27:06 --> 00:27:10

The first one means do not give so that you can be given in return

00:27:10 --> 00:27:16

like for example, Yamuna, alayka, or Alladhina familia to be ruined,

00:27:16 --> 00:27:20

and Felco men and whatever. So Malawi to grow demand for men will

00:27:20 --> 00:27:23

add as Allah mentioned, the sort of Zacchara that men is to do

00:27:23 --> 00:27:25

something good for somebody, but to come back and to remind the

00:27:25 --> 00:27:28

mother, remember how I helped you with this. And remember how it

00:27:28 --> 00:27:31

helped you with that? Well, it's time to pay back. So Allah Subhana

00:27:31 --> 00:27:35

Allah is reminding Rasulullah Selim here, don't ever do anything

00:27:36 --> 00:27:41

for anybody expecting anything in return. You do for the sake of

00:27:41 --> 00:27:45

Allah. Don't expect anything from anybody. You give, give, give be

00:27:45 --> 00:27:50

expected, take nothing. And if this becomes the, you know, if

00:27:50 --> 00:27:53

this becomes your commitment in doubt, you will never be

00:27:53 --> 00:27:56

disappointed. If you expect nothing from people, you will

00:27:56 --> 00:28:01

never be disappointed. So when I give money, I'm not expecting Oh,

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

I'm gonna give it to this person so that they can give it back.

00:28:04 --> 00:28:08

Remember when Abubaker was freeing the slaves, his father came to him

00:28:08 --> 00:28:11

and he said, if you're going to free the slaves, at least free the

00:28:11 --> 00:28:15

very powerful ones, so that later on, they can come and help you if

00:28:15 --> 00:28:18

you're gonna expect nothing in return, at least invest in the

00:28:18 --> 00:28:21

really powerful ones. So they can have some form of being able to

00:28:21 --> 00:28:25

repay you back. But here unable sort of is being told, Do not

00:28:25 --> 00:28:30

expect anything in return. What a terminal destech Fear and also

00:28:30 --> 00:28:33

what a tournament is directed, could be understood as with Allah

00:28:33 --> 00:28:39

Subhana Allah meaning don't say that you've done a lot with Allah

00:28:39 --> 00:28:43

Sanatana so that slows you down. So for example, I say, oh, you

00:28:43 --> 00:28:47

know, I've I've done so much good today. I've already done enough

00:28:47 --> 00:28:51

Quran and I've taught this and I've done that. So you don't have

00:28:51 --> 00:28:53

to pray my students. I've done a lot on the outside. So don't do

00:28:53 --> 00:28:55

that with Allah Subhana Allah don't ever think that you have

00:28:56 --> 00:28:58

enough credit with Allah's parameter. You know, you said I've

00:28:58 --> 00:29:00

done my good for today. I think I can slack off a little bit I can

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

take a break not so either for otter phone swab, well you know,

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

Rob, be careful of that when you finish with one activity by either

00:29:07 --> 00:29:12

jump into another activity bed. And when you are in a point where

00:29:12 --> 00:29:15

you've done a lot of you can't do more, let's say you've been

00:29:15 --> 00:29:17

reading Quran for 15 hours, instead of saying okay, I've done

00:29:17 --> 00:29:19

a lot with Allah subhanaw taala now it's time to kind of like to

00:29:20 --> 00:29:26

redefine it as now it's time to do another EBA Other than that, so

00:29:26 --> 00:29:28

for example, when I'm taking a nap, that's my bed so I can

00:29:28 --> 00:29:32

rejuvenate so I can come back to Allah subhanaw taala Okay, I'm

00:29:32 --> 00:29:34

going to eat I'm going to take an eating break a food break, that's

00:29:34 --> 00:29:38

fine. I'm giving my body energy so I can continue giving back so

00:29:38 --> 00:29:41

don't frame your don't frame your breaks as breaks away from Allah.

00:29:41 --> 00:29:45

Okay, I've done my part. See you later. Yeah, Allah, no, frame your

00:29:45 --> 00:29:48

breaks your rejuvenation your time with your wife, your time with

00:29:48 --> 00:29:51

your husband, your time with your family as a bird because that

00:29:51 --> 00:29:54

gives you the energy to continue going and that gives you the

00:29:54 --> 00:29:57

ability to appreciate what Allah has given you. That you know,

00:29:57 --> 00:29:59

imagine in the business and let me tell us that the intimacy

00:30:00 --> 00:30:03

See all the time that we enjoy with our spouses, the Allah's

00:30:03 --> 00:30:05

Panatela rewards why because if you do it in the Haram you're

00:30:05 --> 00:30:08

getting sin for. So every good that Allah subhanaw taala has

00:30:08 --> 00:30:12

given and every good that Allah has created in you, the tendency

00:30:12 --> 00:30:16

to do and you do it in the halal that is an activity bad, that's an

00:30:16 --> 00:30:19

activity but that doesn't mean you say, Okay, I'm working eight hours

00:30:19 --> 00:30:23

a day that's my brother, I'm done. Okay, I don't need to pray around

00:30:23 --> 00:30:25

it. No, no, no. So we have to look at the things that Allah has made

00:30:25 --> 00:30:28

obligatory, and we do all of them. And in addition to that, the

00:30:28 --> 00:30:33

things that we usually consider to be mundane and things that we do

00:30:33 --> 00:30:35

on a daily day to day basis that we don't use you to look at it as

00:30:35 --> 00:30:39

a reminder, we should also look at them as a bad as well. Five. If

00:30:39 --> 00:30:41

you go back to the first interpretation, the first

00:30:41 --> 00:30:44

understanding of what a tenement the sector does take food, which

00:30:44 --> 00:30:49

means do not expect anything back from anybody. One of my favorite

00:30:49 --> 00:30:53

poems really appreciate this poem is lateral therapy that is

00:30:53 --> 00:30:57

Emanuela chapel in the shredder add us on we have even John Robert

00:30:57 --> 00:31:02

to whom, so even more after after, well, Earl Earl Wilhemina humming,

00:31:03 --> 00:31:07

which means do not put too much hope in people who are byproducts

00:31:07 --> 00:31:10

of the time, many people will come and people will go and people are

00:31:10 --> 00:31:13

quick to fluctuate and to change. People who haven't found

00:31:13 --> 00:31:16

themselves yet. So they just go with the flow literally byproducts

00:31:16 --> 00:31:20

of the of the time, while a tackle and don't say in the shudder at

00:31:20 --> 00:31:23

moments of difficulty, Lea when we're happy with oh, I have this

00:31:23 --> 00:31:26

friend that I can rely on I have this brother, I have this warm

00:31:26 --> 00:31:30

friend, Joe Robert, to whom the poem says or the poet says, I

00:31:30 --> 00:31:34

tried them all, and found the Companions eventually will neglect

00:31:34 --> 00:31:37

and the family is like the Mirage. And the warmest friend that is

00:31:37 --> 00:31:43

supposed to be a source of warmth, is like *, you will always find

00:31:43 --> 00:31:47

ways to be disappointed or people will always find a way to

00:31:47 --> 00:31:50

disappoint you. So don't do things for them do things for the sake of

00:31:50 --> 00:31:56

Allah subhanho wa taala, while I'm known the sector, an example of an

00:31:56 --> 00:32:01

abuse of Selim, in which, you know, he used to speak to us to

00:32:01 --> 00:32:05

speak to the women of the city of Medina, and used to say, with a

00:32:05 --> 00:32:08

foreigner last year that some of you is not generalizing but some

00:32:08 --> 00:32:11

of you what happens is after your husband has been good for you for

00:32:11 --> 00:32:14

a very, very long time, you forget the good that's been done. And you

00:32:14 --> 00:32:17

focus on the mistake that he or she has done. You know,

00:32:17 --> 00:32:20

subhanAllah when people go their separate ways in divorce as an

00:32:20 --> 00:32:24

example, when people go through the separate ways, instead of

00:32:24 --> 00:32:26

remembering the good that Allah spender has, has allowed you to

00:32:26 --> 00:32:30

experience together, you forget all of that good. And you focus on

00:32:30 --> 00:32:33

the things that didn't work out. And then you redefine everything

00:32:33 --> 00:32:35

that's happened in the relationship with that lens of

00:32:35 --> 00:32:39

now. worry and anxiety and stress, and you forget all the good that's

00:32:39 --> 00:32:42

been done. So don't forget the good that's been done, give good

00:32:42 --> 00:32:45

work good is do and give credit where credit is due. And don't be

00:32:45 --> 00:32:46

from those people who

00:32:47 --> 00:32:51

disappoint others by forgetting the good, but at the same time,

00:32:51 --> 00:32:54

and if on the giving end, I give, give expecting nothing in return.

00:32:54 --> 00:32:58

But when I'm receiving when I'm receiving is good to be grateful

00:32:58 --> 00:33:02

and to give back demand. So it goes it goes both ways. But if

00:33:02 --> 00:33:04

you're in a position of power, don't put yourself in a position

00:33:05 --> 00:33:09

where people will come back and question your commitment or

00:33:09 --> 00:33:12

question your intentionality Why did they do this? Why did this

00:33:12 --> 00:33:15

person do that? No do for the sake of Allah Subhana Allah expecting

00:33:15 --> 00:33:18

nothing in return. And as soon as you do it, forget about it, forget

00:33:18 --> 00:33:22

about it. Allah Subhana Allah then says, while you're up bigger,

00:33:22 --> 00:33:27

faster, and to your Lord, be patient, for your Lord, be

00:33:27 --> 00:33:32

patient. Why? For your Lord, be patient? Why for your Lord, be

00:33:32 --> 00:33:37

patient? Because what happens sometimes is yes, we become

00:33:37 --> 00:33:40

patient, yes, we become patient. But we do it for other reasons.

00:33:40 --> 00:33:44

There's a beautiful poem, where one of the Arabs said, I will

00:33:44 --> 00:33:48

never stop being patient in the face of hardship and difficulty,

00:33:48 --> 00:33:52

because I have my image that I will never compromise in front of

00:33:52 --> 00:33:55

others. So meaning I will never compromise my patience will never

00:33:55 --> 00:34:00

compromise my will and I will never lose the determination. Why?

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

Because I don't want ever people to say that this is somebody who

00:34:04 --> 00:34:07

lost tenacity and resilience. So you can be patient but for the

00:34:07 --> 00:34:11

sake of for the sake of for the sake of preserving your image. You

00:34:11 --> 00:34:14

can be patient for a political reason. I'm going to wait wait,

00:34:14 --> 00:34:17

wait, wait, but eventually I'll get them back. That's not the way

00:34:17 --> 00:34:21

that we do things in Islam. We are patient for Allah. And we are

00:34:21 --> 00:34:25

patient through Allah. Was there a novice somebody was salah. Right?

00:34:25 --> 00:34:28

Well, that should have solved it in what morality was solid, he was

00:34:28 --> 00:34:32

stopped earlier. So we have to be patient and acts of worship. Allah

00:34:32 --> 00:34:35

Subhana Allah says, worship, worship and be extra patient in

00:34:35 --> 00:34:39

worship. We have to be patient in knowledge in Nicola Anastasia Maya

00:34:39 --> 00:34:42

sobre No, we shouldn't be patient in seeking knowledge. You know

00:34:42 --> 00:34:46

sometimes like oh, man, it's it's so difficult. I can't take a break

00:34:46 --> 00:34:48

and then come back and push yourself push yourself in the

00:34:48 --> 00:34:52

salon. One more Allah COVID Salatu was Salam ALA, in good company,

00:34:52 --> 00:34:56

you know, sometimes you will have a great, great, great source of

00:34:56 --> 00:34:59

like a great group of people that will make you better, but that

00:34:59 --> 00:34:59

come

00:35:00 --> 00:35:04

but it can also have what can also have its, it can have

00:35:06 --> 00:35:08

a little bit of difficulty associated with it. Like for

00:35:08 --> 00:35:11

example, when you're, when you're going out with a shift, we're

00:35:11 --> 00:35:14

really expects a lot of you. But when you have friends who expect a

00:35:14 --> 00:35:16

lot of you, it's so easy to just say, You know what, I'm going to

00:35:16 --> 00:35:20

dissociate and just move on. But Allah subhanaw taala says, was

00:35:20 --> 00:35:23

good enough second man that in a runner up down below that you will

00:35:23 --> 00:35:26

actually the Be patient with company that will bring the best

00:35:26 --> 00:35:30

out of you, that will remind you of Allah during the day and during

00:35:30 --> 00:35:33

the night. So don't just look for company that will kind of just

00:35:33 --> 00:35:37

Yeah, it's okay, make you feel good. And just chill and have

00:35:38 --> 00:35:41

unproductive conversation. rather look for and be patient in the

00:35:41 --> 00:35:46

company that will make you better, even if at times, it's hurtful,

00:35:46 --> 00:35:49

sometimes you have to brake a little to grow a lot. So it's okay

00:35:49 --> 00:35:54

to be criticized to be, you know, to be to be put down sometimes if

00:35:54 --> 00:35:58

you have teachers who are very, very, very ruthless sometimes. And

00:35:58 --> 00:36:01

it's not good to you to have that level of, you know, blunt and

00:36:01 --> 00:36:04

blatant straight to the point, oh, you're wrong. This is, I don't

00:36:04 --> 00:36:08

know. But accept that, you know, that teacher is trying to make me

00:36:08 --> 00:36:11

better, and I'll be patient. I'll be patient. So whenever I was, and

00:36:11 --> 00:36:14

that gives you an opportunity to learn to grow, be patient with

00:36:14 --> 00:36:18

that opportunity to man be patient with the opportunity. And what

00:36:18 --> 00:36:22

does that mean? While you're up bigger and for your Lord, be

00:36:22 --> 00:36:25

patient while you're up? Be careful. As we mentioned, when

00:36:25 --> 00:36:30

people treat you well, being patient here means do not let your

00:36:30 --> 00:36:33

neffs take advantage of them. Meaning if your friend did the

00:36:33 --> 00:36:37

autopsy, either have you back hill metaswitch Kulu if your friend is

00:36:37 --> 00:36:41

made out of money, don't eat him all at once. So being patient with

00:36:41 --> 00:36:45

good people means don't take advantage of them. Being patient,

00:36:45 --> 00:36:49

right with people who disrespect you. So don't be quick to put them

00:36:49 --> 00:36:51

in their place. You know, try to understand maybe they don't

00:36:51 --> 00:36:54

understand. Maybe they meant something else. So don't be quick

00:36:54 --> 00:36:57

to jump to conclusions. So being patient also with yourself. You

00:36:57 --> 00:37:00

know, you're making mistakes, it's okay. Give yourself room to grow.

00:37:00 --> 00:37:03

Forgive yourself and being patient when inviting to Allah Subhana

00:37:03 --> 00:37:06

Allah and being patient with the color of Allah. I've made so much

00:37:06 --> 00:37:09

too. I've made so much I've made so much progress. Where is it?

00:37:09 --> 00:37:12

Where's the answer? Be patient. So therapeutic impossible. All of

00:37:12 --> 00:37:16

those are associated with the meaning when you're a baker for

00:37:16 --> 00:37:19

severe. So this is the first section of the surah the second

00:37:19 --> 00:37:23

section and again well it'll become possible was when looked me

00:37:23 --> 00:37:26

up because it can be argued in one of my favorites. And be patient

00:37:26 --> 00:37:30

patient with the judge judgment and the Divine Will of your Lord.

00:37:30 --> 00:37:34

For you're always under our eyes. You're always under our watch.

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

Sometimes it's easy to say okay, where's Allah, Masha? Allah so

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

Allah and Allah Subhana Allah reminds us, Allah in the nostril.

00:37:40 --> 00:37:43

Locati Allah is closer to you, when you are caught up with a

00:37:43 --> 00:37:46

human heavy delivery. Allah's father is closer to you and

00:37:46 --> 00:37:49

knowledge and awareness and an understanding exactly what he went

00:37:49 --> 00:37:52

through sometimes better than yourself closer than your own

00:37:52 --> 00:37:58

jugular vein in Allah subhanaw taala you Wallah Yeah, whether you

00:37:59 --> 00:38:01

whether you whether you chameleon for now, but Allah Subhana Allah

00:38:02 --> 00:38:06

gives you time delays, but he never neglects Allah, Allah may

00:38:06 --> 00:38:09

give you some time, but he never neglect neglect, he never forgets

00:38:09 --> 00:38:12

by let's continue to the next.

00:38:13 --> 00:38:18

The next, the next section, which is either nuclear Finn or Allah

00:38:18 --> 00:38:21

subhanaw taala transitions now and we're talking about the Day of

00:38:21 --> 00:38:25

Judgment. So the first is to come and give the Prophet Mohammed

00:38:25 --> 00:38:30

Salam, some clear advice. Owen was covered get up, get up out of that

00:38:30 --> 00:38:32

comfort get up out of that comfort zone, have that privilege and

00:38:32 --> 00:38:37

luxury, luxury, and warn and teach with resilience, calm boom for and

00:38:37 --> 00:38:40

get up with determination with purpose with confidence. What

00:38:40 --> 00:38:43

about the Catholic kid, and your Lord make you Lord number one, so

00:38:43 --> 00:38:47

your last panel should come before anything else, before your family

00:38:47 --> 00:38:49

before you commitments before your meetings before your goals and

00:38:49 --> 00:38:52

ambitions. Everything has to go through and in the name of Allah

00:38:52 --> 00:38:56

subhanaw taala with the Arabic of now that you've perfected your

00:38:56 --> 00:38:59

core by making Allah your number one and Corolla, the color, the

00:38:59 --> 00:39:02

smell of bacon and the holla you've learned market yourself

00:39:02 --> 00:39:06

well neglect anything that could be dirt, get rid of any dirt, no

00:39:06 --> 00:39:11

dirt on you don't leave no room for anyone to, to question your

00:39:11 --> 00:39:13

message or to compromise the integrity of your message while

00:39:13 --> 00:39:16

attempting to second give, give, give give, don't ever think oh,

00:39:16 --> 00:39:18

I've done enough. I've done enough for people oh, I've donated enough

00:39:18 --> 00:39:21

known and keep giving, giving, giving and at the same time,

00:39:21 --> 00:39:24

expect nothing back and in the middle of all of that. Be patient

00:39:25 --> 00:39:29

for your Lord, not for you not for a long term success. Be patient

00:39:29 --> 00:39:33

for Allah Subhanallah invest your emotions and your patience in

00:39:33 --> 00:39:35

Allah in the name of Allah subhanaw taala say there are

00:39:35 --> 00:39:41

nuclear often now or the day that what is not there often or mean

00:39:41 --> 00:39:44

here. They they're not that often who literally means when the

00:39:44 --> 00:39:48

trumpet is blown the alarm after to say the NAPCO is the trumpet.

00:39:48 --> 00:39:51

So lots of hands that is now talking about the day of judgment.

00:39:51 --> 00:39:57

And we know that there are a few different blows trumpets that will

00:39:57 --> 00:40:00

be known. There's the left foot in first left

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

How to Stop enough initial and if you want to read about the details

00:40:03 --> 00:40:07

of those three different Trump loans, look at the notes

00:40:07 --> 00:40:11

Inshallah, Tad fedeli, Kaoma. Even yo when I see, so Allah Subhana

00:40:11 --> 00:40:15

Allah jump straight or the Quran jump straight into talking about

00:40:15 --> 00:40:18

the day of judgment, because if somebody doesn't believe that

00:40:18 --> 00:40:20

there's going to be a final day, they have to stay in front of

00:40:20 --> 00:40:23

Allah subhanaw taala? And answer, what are they? What are they most

00:40:23 --> 00:40:27

likely to do? They're most likely to neglect to forget, you know, if

00:40:27 --> 00:40:31

Imagine, imagine if I'm constantly thinking that there's that there's

00:40:31 --> 00:40:35

no ultimate justice in this world. If someone commits a bad, really,

00:40:35 --> 00:40:37

really bad thing, what's the worst thing that we can do to them?

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

Capital punishment? How many times can somebody die in this world?

00:40:41 --> 00:40:44

Once you can't kill somebody twice? If they have done some

00:40:44 --> 00:40:47

terrible, terrible bad things, imagine someone like Hitler,

00:40:47 --> 00:40:49

what's the worst thing that we could do? jail than imprison them,

00:40:49 --> 00:40:53

torture them? But even then there's a very limited timeframe.

00:40:53 --> 00:40:56

And even then it with capital punishment? Like how many times

00:40:56 --> 00:41:00

right, so justice is limited. How many people get away with crime

00:41:00 --> 00:41:04

get away with murder, how many of those children who died in Syria

00:41:04 --> 00:41:08

and Palestine and those different regions experiencing injustice,

00:41:08 --> 00:41:10

how many of those children are going to get justice in this

00:41:10 --> 00:41:13

world, because they have nobody to advocate for them. Because there's

00:41:13 --> 00:41:16

nobody to remember them, and people move on. So there's no

00:41:16 --> 00:41:20

absolute justice in this world. And if you are just if you just

00:41:20 --> 00:41:22

sit there and think about that, if you want to believe in this world,

00:41:22 --> 00:41:27

as far as I live, I work I eat, I do and I died, I become Deus. And

00:41:27 --> 00:41:30

all this injustice, all of these facades are not going to be

00:41:30 --> 00:41:33

addressed. There's not going to be any meaning coming out of it out

00:41:33 --> 00:41:37

of this. That's a very, very limited and very, very destructive

00:41:37 --> 00:41:40

way of looking at the world. When you believe that there's eventual

00:41:40 --> 00:41:43

justice, Allah subhanaw taala is going to bring everybody to

00:41:43 --> 00:41:47

account. Right now you heard also here rotten well, that can be

00:41:47 --> 00:41:47

rotten.

00:41:48 --> 00:41:51

And there's an account that will leave nothing out the smallest and

00:41:51 --> 00:41:55

the most major everything will be addressed, everything will be

00:41:55 --> 00:41:58

addressed. So Allah Subhana Allah is getting us to shift and focus

00:41:58 --> 00:42:01

our attention on the Day of Resurrection, Allah Subhana Allah

00:42:01 --> 00:42:06

says not only woman Holika to a Haider, also before that, either

00:42:06 --> 00:42:10

nuclear off in Abu fedeli Kaoma is in yellow, when I see you, that

00:42:10 --> 00:42:14

day will be very difficult, it will be very difficult, either

00:42:14 --> 00:42:18

caffeine or urea see. So imagine it will be very difficult. Allah

00:42:18 --> 00:42:21

could have you simply said that. But what does he say I have

00:42:21 --> 00:42:25

caffeine in every receipt for the disbelievers not easy at all.

00:42:25 --> 00:42:27

Because it might be challenging, it might be challenging for

00:42:27 --> 00:42:30

everybody, even for the believer, you might come in worried. But

00:42:30 --> 00:42:34

Allah Subhana Allah says, For the unbeliever for the ungrateful

00:42:34 --> 00:42:37

individual, there will be no work, there will be no ease whatsoever.

00:42:37 --> 00:42:41

No ease at all, like it might be challenging. Might be challenging,

00:42:42 --> 00:42:44

but you can have moments of ease here and there. But let's print

00:42:44 --> 00:42:46

that a saying for that. Okay, oh, maybe I'm going to assume that

00:42:46 --> 00:42:48

this is going to be difficult for everybody. It's going to be a

00:42:48 --> 00:42:52

challenge for everybody. But I did care for you and I want you to

00:42:52 --> 00:42:55

see, for the unbeliever there will not even be a moment of ease,

00:42:55 --> 00:42:59

there will not be a moment of relief. Allah subhanaw taala so

00:42:59 --> 00:43:03

this technically is the second the second part of the surah the

00:43:03 --> 00:43:06

second part of the surah the third part of the surah Allah subhanaw

00:43:06 --> 00:43:11

taala shifts our attention to somebody the other half to say

00:43:11 --> 00:43:15

perhaps this refers to and will lead even al Marilla and then

00:43:15 --> 00:43:19

we'll even movie was a leader amongst kurush he was from bigger

00:43:19 --> 00:43:23

muscles zoom. He was known for you know, having a unique opinion a

00:43:23 --> 00:43:27

unique personality. And here the automatic si se perhaps this is

00:43:27 --> 00:43:32

referred to him. So let's do some contextualization, let's do some

00:43:32 --> 00:43:37

contextualization and abuse of Salem receives Surah olarak in the

00:43:37 --> 00:43:41

heart of Hara runs to his wife for support, 40 days, no revelation,

00:43:41 --> 00:43:44

and finally salted ALLAH is revealed.

00:43:45 --> 00:43:47

And during this time, as we mentioned, he's doing private

00:43:47 --> 00:43:50

Dawa. She's going to different people Abu Bakr is going to his

00:43:50 --> 00:43:53

wife going to the family, going to different people and just telling

00:43:53 --> 00:43:55

them about what's happening and Allah Subhana Allah has initiated

00:43:55 --> 00:44:00

him now into messenger Hood. Now as the news is erupting, the

00:44:00 --> 00:44:03

Prophet Mohammed Mohammed our orphan, imagine from his point of

00:44:03 --> 00:44:06

view from the elites point of view, Muhammad, our orphans,

00:44:06 --> 00:44:08

claiming prophethood, what are we going to do about it? What are we

00:44:08 --> 00:44:12

going to do about him, and now from Amman is over, there's a

00:44:12 --> 00:44:16

period of 40 days now the Hajj season is coming, the pilgrimage

00:44:16 --> 00:44:20

season is coming. And with the pilgrimage season coming, people

00:44:20 --> 00:44:22

and various tribes are going to come in, and we're going to be

00:44:22 --> 00:44:26

coming to Mecca. So when everybody comes to Mecca and the year that

00:44:26 --> 00:44:29

Oh, Muhammad, this man who was an orphan, is claiming to be a

00:44:29 --> 00:44:32

prophet or something is going on, or he's receiving revelation,

00:44:32 --> 00:44:37

what's going on? And if everybody from Quraish is saying something

00:44:37 --> 00:44:40

different or is not making or giving a voice, what's going to

00:44:40 --> 00:44:43

happen? Eventually people are going to be curious enough that

00:44:43 --> 00:44:46

they go and actually sit and listen to ask Muhammad himself.

00:44:47 --> 00:44:50

Does that make sense? So Arash wants to control the narrative of

00:44:50 --> 00:44:54

what people say and how people view Mohamed Salah Ali he was

00:44:54 --> 00:44:58

sitting so the gather the gathered in the network in the Parliament

00:44:58 --> 00:44:59

of Polish didn't

00:45:00 --> 00:45:02

Have a parliament system of course button and well, where they make

00:45:02 --> 00:45:05

the decisions like a parliament. So they're sitting in the network.

00:45:05 --> 00:45:08

And they say, I wish you had says, if every one of us is saying

00:45:08 --> 00:45:10

something different about Muhammad, someone is saying is

00:45:10 --> 00:45:12

honest and trustworthy. And some of us don't just ignore him. We

00:45:12 --> 00:45:15

don't know what's going on. If everybody if every one of us is

00:45:15 --> 00:45:18

saying something different about Muhammad, eventually people are

00:45:18 --> 00:45:21

going to look for themselves. So we need to come up with something

00:45:21 --> 00:45:21

to say.

00:45:23 --> 00:45:26

So let's say he's, he's, let's say he's a liar. And what he didn't

00:45:26 --> 00:45:27

realize is you can't say he's a liar.

00:45:28 --> 00:45:31

You can't call him the most honest and the most trustworthy, and then

00:45:31 --> 00:45:34

overnight, say that he's a liar. It's not gonna be believable.

00:45:34 --> 00:45:39

Okay, let's say he's, let's say he's a wizard, of some kind, where

00:45:39 --> 00:45:42

he does black magic. No, he doesn't do black magic, because

00:45:43 --> 00:45:46

clearly his personality, his attitude, is not like that of

00:45:46 --> 00:45:49

somebody who, who's who's in that kind of work. Let's say he's a

00:45:49 --> 00:45:52

poet, as well, I don't I don't think he's a poet because the

00:45:52 --> 00:45:56

words that you know that the poet or the poem are the words of the

00:45:56 --> 00:45:59

other poets are very different from the words that Muhammad is

00:45:59 --> 00:46:03

using. So and what he does being very critical. So he says, Let me

00:46:03 --> 00:46:07

go and listen to Mohammed myself. And then I'll let you know and let

00:46:07 --> 00:46:11

you know what, what to say. And he comes back to them after hearing

00:46:12 --> 00:46:15

the Prophet Muhammad Salim recite. And it is said that he recite

00:46:15 --> 00:46:16

Surah facilite to him.

00:46:18 --> 00:46:22

And he came to the area in our blue jacket under to come Slifer

00:46:23 --> 00:46:26

with cipher to harden with them. So if they turn away, warn them of

00:46:26 --> 00:46:31

a big blow that will be like the blow that basically destroyed ad

00:46:31 --> 00:46:36

and some wood. And at this moment, it really didn't Lyra, imagine you

00:46:36 --> 00:46:39

heard a bunch of the surah. So this shows us that maybe other

00:46:39 --> 00:46:42

suitors would revealed at this time, and maybe the section was

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

also absorbed to death, it was revealed a little bit later. So

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

keep that in mind. But either way, either way, and when he keeps

00:46:50 --> 00:46:52

hearing the Quran, and he has some beautiful things to say about the

00:46:52 --> 00:46:56

Quran, you know, in the level of hello or not enough on our it has

00:46:56 --> 00:47:00

a sweetness to it. It supersedes everything, and it's not

00:47:00 --> 00:47:02

overpowered, but anything. So he has all these beautiful things to

00:47:02 --> 00:47:06

say about the Quran and ends up going closer and listening to

00:47:06 --> 00:47:09

Muhammad more Salah Salem. So Abuja came back to the network to

00:47:09 --> 00:47:12

the guys who go to the network, the decision makers, the leaders

00:47:12 --> 00:47:15

of courage, and his I'm worried that Mohammed maybe or I'm worried

00:47:15 --> 00:47:20

that I really didn't hear or maybe coming a little too close to

00:47:20 --> 00:47:23

Mohammed. So what do we do? We need to, you know, reel him back

00:47:23 --> 00:47:26

in, because if we lose him, it's going to be a big problem.

00:47:27 --> 00:47:30

So if you decide, you know, what, Abuja and what do you suggest? He

00:47:30 --> 00:47:35

says, I'm going to strike where hurts him most? So he comes to him

00:47:35 --> 00:47:38

according to the rewire. And there's a lot of question about

00:47:38 --> 00:47:41

this rewire but it's history. So it could be true, could be not

00:47:41 --> 00:47:44

Allah and where we are very, very critical is when it comes to

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

things that have to do with our deen. Like, for example, if it's a

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

matter of our feeder or a matter of an activity bad then we have to

00:47:51 --> 00:47:55

be very, very, we have to have a strong level of scrutiny in

00:47:55 --> 00:47:59

assessing that what is being said is 100% true, because everybody

00:47:59 --> 00:48:03

depends on it. But history we say yeah, this has been said is a true

00:48:03 --> 00:48:07

hola Ana, do we mention it and preface it by saying Allah Allah?

00:48:07 --> 00:48:10

Um, yes. So it's interesting to think about and maybe gives us a

00:48:10 --> 00:48:13

better context. And some of the details maybe added Allah annum,

00:48:13 --> 00:48:18

but at least we get a sense of how the earliest commentators saw and

00:48:18 --> 00:48:21

understood and imagine these four, these ayat of the Quran to be

00:48:21 --> 00:48:24

referring to individuals and the dynamic between those individuals

00:48:24 --> 00:48:29

on a salsa lesson, very important. So actually, the mafia is

00:48:29 --> 00:48:33

approached by Abuja, and Abuja tells him listen unworried, I hear

00:48:33 --> 00:48:35

that you've been spending time with Abu Bakr and you've been

00:48:35 --> 00:48:38

visiting Muhammad often and you've been listening to the Quran.

00:48:40 --> 00:48:42

He doesn't say listen to the Quran, he just heard that you're

00:48:42 --> 00:48:45

spending time with with Abu Bakr specifically. And I know what it

00:48:45 --> 00:48:49

is very rich. And obviously you're not going to listen to the Quran

00:48:49 --> 00:48:53

because you know, there's no way you have any interest in that

00:48:53 --> 00:48:57

nonsense. The Muhammad has said, it must be the fact that you are

00:48:57 --> 00:49:00

in a bit of a financial pickle and that's why you're worried. And

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

that's why you're visiting a bucket. You don't want any of us

00:49:03 --> 00:49:06

to know and you want to kind of keep it on the Download but I'm

00:49:06 --> 00:49:09

assuming that you're having a little bit of a financial trouble

00:49:09 --> 00:49:11

and that's why you're gonna have a bucket and sitting and listening

00:49:11 --> 00:49:14

to look at because I'm a sucker was rich. So imagine here he's

00:49:14 --> 00:49:17

using his own ego against this Yeah, friends, isn't gonna come to

00:49:17 --> 00:49:19

me like, oh, there's no way you listen to the Quran. That's it.

00:49:19 --> 00:49:22

He's saying, Oh, it must be because you're poor or you've lost

00:49:22 --> 00:49:25

money or you're looking to make an investment and need some financial

00:49:25 --> 00:49:27

help. That's why you're going to work and that's why it just

00:49:27 --> 00:49:29

happens that you listen to the Quran, there's no way that you

00:49:29 --> 00:49:32

could be listened for on just for the sake of the Quran. And imagine

00:49:32 --> 00:49:35

how many people are would actually be thinking about number be

00:49:35 --> 00:49:39

deterred by decisions by decision makers like Abuja. So imagine

00:49:39 --> 00:49:45

Subhanallah the terrible impact of Sahiba had a friend can have a

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

gravitational pull of Sahiba head so be careful who you choose as

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

your friends eventually that what he didn't realize is it gets

00:49:52 --> 00:49:54

something like how dare you I'm the richest amongst you, I can by

00:49:54 --> 00:49:58

you and by your feminine but and he goes back to the network, the

00:49:58 --> 00:50:00

next meeting and

00:50:00 --> 00:50:03

And you tell them what are worried you told us you want some time and

00:50:03 --> 00:50:06

related material? What do you decide? What have you decided? So

00:50:06 --> 00:50:12

Allah subhanaw taala reveals this is to speak about the decision of

00:50:12 --> 00:50:16

Allah will lead and the things that he said at the network, the

00:50:16 --> 00:50:18

things that he said at the network. So let's begin the eye

00:50:18 --> 00:50:21

now that we've contextualize, Allah says the elderly woman

00:50:21 --> 00:50:27

Hanako, to where he leaves him, to me, the one that I created, unique

00:50:28 --> 00:50:32

or alone, where hate could be unique or alone. Meaning I Allah

00:50:32 --> 00:50:36

is saying here, I created him as a unique person, but he forgets all

00:50:36 --> 00:50:39

that uniqueness. And he shows ingratitude, or I created him

00:50:40 --> 00:50:42

alone, some say because he had no brothers, but historically, that's

00:50:42 --> 00:50:44

not true. He had brothers so he wasn't alone, as in he had no

00:50:44 --> 00:50:49

brothers or no siblings. He had a few brothers, Abuja was actually

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

what Abuja had was the son of his brother. So that's how they're

00:50:53 --> 00:50:57

related. So you didn't have brothers, but Wahida means other

00:50:57 --> 00:51:00

elements of democracy to say, I've created him alone, meaning I Allah

00:51:00 --> 00:51:03

created him alone, and he will come back to me alone, so leave

00:51:03 --> 00:51:06

him to me, don't give him much attention to Muhammad, don't give

00:51:06 --> 00:51:09

him much attention or Rasulullah. I'll take care of him. Let's

00:51:09 --> 00:51:12

imagine what the Quran is saying. Allah is saying to Muhammad, leave

00:51:12 --> 00:51:17

him to me. What JRD Tata who man and do that. So imagine this very

00:51:17 --> 00:51:20

powerful halacha to hate, I created him alone, what you have

00:51:20 --> 00:51:23

today, women and men do that. And I give him money and wealth that

00:51:23 --> 00:51:26

continuously grows and continuously structures. You know,

00:51:26 --> 00:51:30

this is not solid wealth that stops this is what the grows. So

00:51:30 --> 00:51:33

crops that keep growing animals that keep growing investments that

00:51:33 --> 00:51:36

keep growing, I continue to give him whatever they need to show who

00:51:36 --> 00:51:40

they are. And I give him children that are always present. They're

00:51:40 --> 00:51:43

always witnessing. You can have kids, but one is here and one is

00:51:43 --> 00:51:47

there. But for them all to be present. They don't have to hustle

00:51:47 --> 00:51:50

anywhere you have so much money that you can actually do what they

00:51:50 --> 00:51:53

can actually take care of all of them and they don't have to travel

00:51:53 --> 00:51:55

or be anywhere and they stick together. Somebody had 10

00:51:55 --> 00:51:59

Children, somebody had 13 children. We had lots of children

00:51:59 --> 00:52:01

and they were always together and when they walk we have you know

00:52:01 --> 00:52:05

imagine 13 like a family of 13 walking together a family of 10

00:52:05 --> 00:52:09

walking together it's intimidating or at least it's it's eyebrow

00:52:09 --> 00:52:13

raising you think wow, Mashallah. Or maybe somebody will say Masha

00:52:13 --> 00:52:18

Allah wa jal, Tula women and men do the weather Nina shahada when I

00:52:18 --> 00:52:22

had to know who Tim he the, and I made things easy for him. So

00:52:22 --> 00:52:27

things are coming his way. So mailto mountain as either killer,

00:52:27 --> 00:52:32

and he still thinks, oh, yeah, I've grown so much accustomed to

00:52:32 --> 00:52:35

this luxury that I think it's going to continue happening. And

00:52:35 --> 00:52:38

there's not going to be any end to this. So imagine his attitude is I

00:52:38 --> 00:52:42

have so much that I don't see an end to it. I don't think it'll

00:52:42 --> 00:52:47

ever and right. What Enron did to rob Beal, he didn't hire a

00:52:47 --> 00:52:51

meathead caliber. So imagine he says that even in sort of the GIF,

00:52:51 --> 00:52:54

and even if I were to go back to my Lord, I will have much, much

00:52:54 --> 00:52:57

more much, much more than that. So many people get used to the good

00:52:57 --> 00:53:01

that they think somehow it's not because Allah has given me it's

00:53:01 --> 00:53:04

because I have the quality. I made those good decisions. And even if

00:53:04 --> 00:53:07

I lose all my money, guess what, I'll have more and more and more.

00:53:07 --> 00:53:09

And because God has been good to me in this world, he'll be good to

00:53:09 --> 00:53:11

me in the hereafter if there's a hereafter.

00:53:12 --> 00:53:15

I'm good, I'm good with him. Because he's showing me goodness

00:53:15 --> 00:53:18

in this world. I'm sure he's gonna show me goodness in the next. And

00:53:18 --> 00:53:20

it's kind of like the prosperity complex where you assume that

00:53:20 --> 00:53:23

Allah is giving you because he's pleased with you. But sometimes

00:53:23 --> 00:53:26

Allah could be giving you in this dunya to test you, you have a lot,

00:53:27 --> 00:53:30

what are you going to do with it? Or Allah could actually be giving

00:53:30 --> 00:53:33

you so it becomes a weighed against you like I gave you so

00:53:33 --> 00:53:36

much so much, so much so much. And it gave you so many excuses. Like

00:53:36 --> 00:53:39

I said, Roger, which we'll talk about later and in later Meccan

00:53:39 --> 00:53:42

Quran and what are you doing? I can, again, give you so many

00:53:42 --> 00:53:46

chances. And what are you doing with it? So mailto now and as

00:53:46 --> 00:53:51

either Kela no candidate Aya Tina and either he was very stubborn

00:53:51 --> 00:53:54

when the IRS came so the ads were coming and he was missing and he

00:53:54 --> 00:53:57

was so close, but then he let his ego get in the way and he became

00:53:57 --> 00:54:02

stubborn in resisting. So otter hippo who saw Oh, the old hippo

00:54:02 --> 00:54:05

who saw oh that you know how things don't have to look to me

00:54:05 --> 00:54:08

that things were going easy. Allah says no, he will now experience

00:54:08 --> 00:54:10

difficulty some people say Jahannam and some people say in

00:54:10 --> 00:54:13

this dunya things are not going to come easy for him anymore. That

00:54:13 --> 00:54:15

Allah Subhan Allah is going to test him by withholding and by

00:54:15 --> 00:54:22

taking back in fact, our cut down the patella kafer cut the two

00:54:22 --> 00:54:28

Mattila K for the for men over for MABAS our vessel some added by our

00:54:28 --> 00:54:35

stack Baraka fall in Heather il Saharan. You thought in her whole

00:54:35 --> 00:54:39

Russia, the US Lee Sokar very powerful. So why what happened? He

00:54:39 --> 00:54:42

was listening to the Quran, he was enjoying the Quran. He was saying

00:54:42 --> 00:54:45

there may be something here definitely worth listening to.

00:54:45 --> 00:54:50

What changed? What changed. Allah says in the hearts of hundreds

00:54:50 --> 00:54:53

Allah Allah says, in no fact garage door. So he started

00:54:53 --> 00:54:58

thinking and weighing out instead of thinking and deliberating the

00:54:58 --> 00:54:59

Atilla case or other

00:55:00 --> 00:55:05

But what a shame what a destroyed result or what a terrible result

00:55:05 --> 00:55:06

he came to,

00:55:08 --> 00:55:13

because he chose wrong or he deliberated incorrectly, or he, or

00:55:13 --> 00:55:16

he weighed out the options and he went for the option. That was

00:55:16 --> 00:55:20

incorrect. Some particular case under what a shame how he

00:55:20 --> 00:55:23

deliberated. So what does this mean? Now, rather than say that

00:55:23 --> 00:55:26

first he was actually thinking, and at first he was thinking

00:55:26 --> 00:55:29

factor or conda? He was thinking is like, you know, is this really

00:55:29 --> 00:55:33

poetry? No, it's not poetry. Is this really magic? Not really, is

00:55:33 --> 00:55:33

this really?

00:55:34 --> 00:55:37

Like the word of a liar? No, not really. She was being fair at the

00:55:37 --> 00:55:40

beginning. He was being fair. So Allah does not affect cuddle

00:55:40 --> 00:55:43

cuddle. He was thinking and weighing out the booty, like a

00:55:43 --> 00:55:46

fair conduct. But then his thoughts shifted, when they

00:55:46 --> 00:55:48

started putting pressure on him and saying, Oh, are you going to

00:55:48 --> 00:55:52

now listen to aboubaker? Because you're poor. So that got in the

00:55:52 --> 00:55:56

way of him thinking critically and honestly. And then Allah says,

00:55:56 --> 00:55:59

What a terrible choice he became curse because of that

00:55:59 --> 00:56:02

deliberation, or because of that weighing out what is the second

00:56:02 --> 00:56:06

way out here? The second way out is, perhaps is weighing out what

00:56:06 --> 00:56:10

am I going to win and gain by following Muhammad, you may be

00:56:10 --> 00:56:13

paradise if it exists. But in the meantime, I'm gonna lose a lot of

00:56:13 --> 00:56:15

my power, and I'm gonna lose a lot of my privilege. And people are

00:56:15 --> 00:56:19

gonna look at me as like a sub people can look at me as what I

00:56:19 --> 00:56:21

follow Muhammad, I found one of the little kids in the, in the

00:56:21 --> 00:56:25

city and town. So he sort of weighing out the gains and the

00:56:25 --> 00:56:29

losses. Now what's true and false. What have I got to gain? And what

00:56:29 --> 00:56:32

have I got to lose? So it didn't make it a decision about what is

00:56:32 --> 00:56:35

right and wrong. He made the decision about what do I have to

00:56:35 --> 00:56:40

gain? And what do I have to lose? So Mattila case Condor, and

00:56:40 --> 00:56:45

because of that, he was destroyed, he led his own. He led his own

00:56:45 --> 00:56:49

self, to destruction because of the poor decision making. And this

00:56:49 --> 00:56:53

shows that sometimes we rationalize the decisions. We say

00:56:53 --> 00:56:57

that we do certain things for a certain way. But in reality, we do

00:56:57 --> 00:57:00

them for other reasons. We it's not necessarily what true and

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

false. It's about what is convenient, or what is convenient.

00:57:03 --> 00:57:08

And then we sell this narrative, I'm like, yeah, yeah. Which is not

00:57:08 --> 00:57:10

necessarily true. We sell this narrative to others we rationalize

00:57:10 --> 00:57:14

or justify to others. But in reality, we have already made up

00:57:14 --> 00:57:18

our mind, and that's what and when he did, he made up his mind. But

00:57:18 --> 00:57:22

what he did, according to some of the amorphous saloon is he went

00:57:22 --> 00:57:27

into he went into he went into the, the medulla. And what he did

00:57:29 --> 00:57:32

he Allah, Allah describes here, so whenever there are some Okay, when

00:57:32 --> 00:57:36

it What have you decided? So it looks out in the distance number?

00:57:36 --> 00:57:40

Oh, I let me think about it, to map so that's all. And then he

00:57:40 --> 00:57:44

found and turned away from Adubato was stuck about in frowned and he

00:57:44 --> 00:57:47

turned away he's like, you know, give me some time. Give me I need

00:57:47 --> 00:57:51

to think about it. So he put on the show that made it seem like

00:57:51 --> 00:57:55

he's actually what thinking so that whenever he comes to the

00:57:55 --> 00:57:58

conclusion, people will say, Oh, you know what, he was really,

00:57:58 --> 00:58:01

really taking his time and he was deliberating and he was being

00:58:01 --> 00:58:04

fair. So he put on this show, at the very beginning was doing it

00:58:04 --> 00:58:07

genuinely. But because he knows what it was, like genuinely now he

00:58:07 --> 00:58:09

could fake genuine *.

00:58:10 --> 00:58:13

He knew what it was like to genuinely deliberate. So now he's

00:58:13 --> 00:58:18

gonna fake it in front of the network to attain their respect,

00:58:18 --> 00:58:20

like, Okay, I'm thinking about it. I'm not doing it because you want

00:58:20 --> 00:58:23

me to No, no, no, no, I'm doing because this is what I genuinely

00:58:23 --> 00:58:25

believe. But is it? No, it's not because Allah tells us in the

00:58:25 --> 00:58:29

Quran, it's not what he believe. It's very powerful magic early on

00:58:29 --> 00:58:34

Meccan surah is giving you a look into the psychology of one of the

00:58:34 --> 00:58:35

elite of Quraysh.

00:58:36 --> 00:58:39

It's very powerful, where if we see the scheme later on, yes,

00:58:39 --> 00:58:42

maybe not the earliest or the second earliest, but it's still

00:58:42 --> 00:58:46

early Meccan period, for sure. The man for Allah Subhana Allah says,

00:58:46 --> 00:58:48

fact got all the faculty together.

00:58:49 --> 00:58:52

But the full manava he looks out to have a service of deliberate

00:58:52 --> 00:58:54

and starts, you know, frowning.

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

Let me think about this. Yes, it's very important. We have to be very

00:58:58 --> 00:59:01

fair, feel mad about our step, but then he turned away from them and

00:59:01 --> 00:59:05

he looked out, you give them his back and borrow a stack bar. And

00:59:05 --> 00:59:08

some said borrow stuff but as it he gave a last panel is back, give

00:59:08 --> 00:59:13

the truth, his back and instead chose what's convenient for Allah.

00:59:13 --> 00:59:16

He says to them and listen to the words he says to them. Well,

00:59:17 --> 00:59:21

what do we call someone who devise between husband and wife, brother

00:59:21 --> 00:59:26

and sister and family? They say we call that person a magician

00:59:27 --> 00:59:28

is well, that's what we're gonna say.

00:59:29 --> 00:59:32

We're gonna say that he's a magician, because when he came

00:59:32 --> 00:59:35

with his message, some people believe him and some people don't

00:59:35 --> 00:59:38

and in the same family of people splitting over whether his message

00:59:38 --> 00:59:42

is true or not. So we're going to be still fair. But we're going to

00:59:42 --> 00:59:44

use that wording. He's a magician.

00:59:45 --> 00:59:48

People can understand whatever they want, but what we mean by

00:59:48 --> 00:59:53

that is he divides between family, like Ah, very smart, they see that

00:59:53 --> 00:59:58

you see the you see the trickier of the strategy. The strategy is

00:59:58 --> 01:00:00

to see that which is true. So there

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

On people can't say well you know, we said He's a magician because

01:00:03 --> 01:00:06

that's what we saw is divided between people. So that seems more

01:00:06 --> 01:00:10

fair. So imagine that wisdom of of already its wisdom you know

01:00:10 --> 01:00:14

misplaced misplaced wisdom imagine the good that you could have done.

01:00:14 --> 01:00:16

Remember they were talking about SOTL Allah

01:00:17 --> 01:00:20

All right. What is what is remember the act well, we said

01:00:21 --> 01:00:24

the idea was Llamosa Lucilla Americana Muhammad

01:00:26 --> 01:00:30

what is the I again Lama salutes in America having a brain freeze

01:00:30 --> 01:00:33

you're almost a little cinematic goddess in the Muhammad Allah and

01:00:33 --> 01:00:34

Muhammad. There is

01:00:35 --> 01:00:38

a writer in Cannes and Gouda Mr. Robert taco.

01:00:39 --> 01:00:42

Do you see what would happen if you actually hold on to truth and

01:00:42 --> 01:00:46

hold on to guidance and commands people to do good it becomes an

01:00:46 --> 01:00:50

ambassador of goodness alright and get the Motorola and you see what

01:00:50 --> 01:00:53

would happen if he turns away and the man MBM Allah Allah does not

01:00:53 --> 01:00:56

know that Allah can see. So Allah shows us here the extent to which

01:00:56 --> 01:00:59

he can see he sees not just the action, but the psychology of

01:00:59 --> 01:01:04

everybody in the Madeira, the processing the decision making and

01:01:04 --> 01:01:06

what's guiding it. relate this to the surah before

01:01:07 --> 01:01:11

right now so you think the button heartier, a forelock that is lying

01:01:11 --> 01:01:15

deceiving intentionally. So this there's so many there's so many

01:01:15 --> 01:01:18

connections that we can make across the soul. For he says to

01:01:18 --> 01:01:20

the people, we're going to say that he's a magician because he

01:01:20 --> 01:01:24

divides between family, he divides between household. Then Allah

01:01:24 --> 01:01:28

Subhana Allah comments on FERPA in her that it'll say hold on, you

01:01:28 --> 01:01:34

thought it 24 He says indeed, this is magic that is borrowed from

01:01:34 --> 01:01:38

elsewhere, that is bars just been there before. injera, Illa owl

01:01:38 --> 01:01:43

Basha, it is magic words of magic, or words that divide between

01:01:43 --> 01:01:48

people and it's human made speech. Even though the beginning he had

01:01:48 --> 01:01:51

lost to say that, or a lot to say that suggests that you didn't

01:01:51 --> 01:01:55

believe firmly that these were the words of a human being. So Slee

01:01:55 --> 01:02:01

Hisako law says, Because of this, I shall allow him to taste Sokar

01:02:01 --> 01:02:04

Allah shall allow him to be immersed in supper. And what is

01:02:04 --> 01:02:08

supper whereby documents superb ly to beauty while at other leaves,

01:02:08 --> 01:02:13

nothing leaves nothing untouched. Like what how to measure it

01:02:13 --> 01:02:20

destroys and ruptures the skin on a T SATA shell on top of it or

01:02:20 --> 01:02:25

guarding it are 19 guarding it, or 19 and this this context, you

01:02:25 --> 01:02:30

suggest that soccer could be one of the floors or levels of

01:02:30 --> 01:02:34

Jahannam of hellfire, or it could be referring to hellfire itself,

01:02:34 --> 01:02:37

and some say it could be referring to the door of hellfire. I take

01:02:37 --> 01:02:40

the opinion that is probably referring it's an earlier word

01:02:40 --> 01:02:45

here to describe hellfire, soccer, soccer, a tournament a serious

01:02:45 --> 01:02:48

torment, why the outcome and support lead to beauty? Well at

01:02:48 --> 01:02:51

Avaya. Charlaine. The next class will talk about well, isn't it the

01:02:51 --> 01:02:55

case that your skin is rejuvenated in Gen Indiana, so that you

01:02:55 --> 01:03:00

continue to experience pain? Yes, but Allah says like to build the

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

while at the gym and leaves nothing on touch. So as your body

01:03:04 --> 01:03:08

is being burned by Jen by Johanna, may Allah protect us. I mean, that

01:03:08 --> 01:03:11

Allah rejuvenates parts of your skin parts of your body so that

01:03:11 --> 01:03:15

you can continue to experience the pain. And that's again a torment

01:03:15 --> 01:03:19

for those who had that level of arrogance and ego and people like

01:03:19 --> 01:03:22

it really didn't matter who knew what the right thing is. We're

01:03:22 --> 01:03:25

given so many opportunities, but Allah subhanaw taala, but chose

01:03:25 --> 01:03:28

not to take them. So you can have a part of your limb being you

01:03:28 --> 01:03:32

know, destroyed and Allah is growing another part. So again,

01:03:32 --> 01:03:36

you take different you take turns, like a part is being consumed and

01:03:36 --> 01:03:38

other is regrouping so that you can continue to experience until

01:03:38 --> 01:03:44

Allah wills but it leaves nothing that every part will be will be

01:03:44 --> 01:03:50

will be, you know, whatever Bill burned and, and hurt or punished

01:03:50 --> 01:03:52

in other ways May Allah forgive us. Now what's really interesting

01:03:52 --> 01:03:55

quickly before the next class inshallah will will take the

01:03:55 --> 01:04:00

details. When Allah says guarding Johanna are 19

01:04:01 --> 01:04:04

Imagine for the believer What do you think when you hear there are

01:04:04 --> 01:04:08

19 guards in front of gentlemen, the believer who has a heart that

01:04:08 --> 01:04:11

is humble will say May Allah protect me Allah may Allah protect

01:04:11 --> 01:04:14

me what a what a vivid placed, yeah, Allah protect me, Allah

01:04:14 --> 01:04:17

protect me, that's your thought you're not protecting. But what

01:04:17 --> 01:04:20

will the unbeliever who's got a little bit of arrogance and you

01:04:20 --> 01:04:23

know, they have a weird conception of what it means to be

01:04:23 --> 01:04:26

intellectual, what the right questions to what the questions

01:04:26 --> 01:04:28

that the feasible questions to ask,

01:04:30 --> 01:04:36

will say, Oh, you're only 1990 law, what do you look like? How

01:04:36 --> 01:04:40

are they like, and that's what the Mushrikeen said, I will join for

01:04:40 --> 01:04:44

example, he says, yeah, all of this jednym that's gonna

01:04:44 --> 01:04:51

supposedly have all of us, all of us bad people. And only 19 guards.

01:04:51 --> 01:04:53

There was one of the coloration we'll look at the narrations to

01:04:53 --> 01:04:56

show the next class who came out and says, Okay, you know what?

01:04:56 --> 01:04:59

I'll take seven. You take my brother. We'll take

01:05:00 --> 01:05:04

to this now, I know one of my guys will take, you know, the the rest

01:05:04 --> 01:05:08

and you guys don't even have to do any work. So imagine, look at the

01:05:08 --> 01:05:11

arrogance. Don't worry, we're all going to intend to go to jahannam

01:05:11 --> 01:05:14

that's the attitude. We're all going to intend to go to Johanna,

01:05:14 --> 01:05:18

but I got you guys you don't even need to confront these angels.

01:05:18 --> 01:05:22

These angels are these beings that Muhammad is talking about these 19

01:05:22 --> 01:05:25

because they don't know what they are now, these 19 I'll take seven

01:05:25 --> 01:05:29

you take this will take that will go through and then everybody will

01:05:29 --> 01:05:33

be freed from Jehovah. So this is the attitude instead of humbling

01:05:33 --> 01:05:37

themselves sort of thinking, Man, you read my psychology read my

01:05:37 --> 01:05:41

decision making I should humble myself. The others became arrogant

01:05:41 --> 01:05:45

and actually tried to attack the shadow next class we'll pick up

01:05:45 --> 01:05:48

maybe just do a little bit of a brief summary, a brief overview

01:05:48 --> 01:05:52

and continue the discussion. Is that common law Hi, Ron, I ask

01:05:52 --> 01:05:55

Allah Subhana Allah to bless you to revision for those mean, and at

01:05:55 --> 01:06:01

this time, let me look at the chat to see if we have any questions.

01:06:04 --> 01:06:08

Perfect as I can on the hair, my lovely Sheikh Mustafa, Eliza Jana

01:06:08 --> 01:06:14

Malala. Mustafa, may Allah bless you, ridges fatter or ridges a

01:06:14 --> 01:06:16

fragile Yes, that's correct.

01:06:17 --> 01:06:21

Okay, may Allah bless you. Even difficulties that Allah gives you

01:06:21 --> 01:06:26

make you grow that is true. Isn't Sarika lightning or does it just

01:06:26 --> 01:06:31

mean something that is shocking in this case? Yes, it means shocking

01:06:31 --> 01:06:34

image shocking. sidecar can also mean lightning and it can mean

01:06:34 --> 01:06:38
