Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
salatu salam while in my booth Ramadan Allah Allah means in the
millennium Muhammad Ali he won early he have to Salah to attend
with this Lima ask Allah Subhana Allah to bless you, and to give
you the best in dunya and Astra and to allow this to be an
opportunity for all of us to be drawn closer to the Quran and to
the word of Allah subhanaw taala ask Allah Subhana Allah to allow
the Quran to be the light of our heart and the joy of our chests,
and to be the thing that removes our sorrows and displaces our
fears and anxieties Europe, Amin, Amin, amin, let us share the
screen and begin in sha Allah to Allah with Surah attack we're
so queer is a again, you're gonna get used to me saying this for
every tool that we study, but it's a very powerful Surah very
powerful sword and Inshallah, hopefully by today we'll see the
extent to which the surah is relevant and situating within the
larger context of the journey that we're on being delighted by just
going to make this a little bit bigger, so we can see in sha Allah
the notes together. All right. So we discussed so far to Surah,
Surah, Tirana and Surah them with different surah Allah initiated
the prophet Mohamed Salah Salem into prophethood and Salton with
death it initiated the Prophet Muhammad SAW Salah into messenger
Hood, made it clear to him that he has a mess
See, and then he has to share that message to get up and to teach and
to empower and to warn and to educate and to give the good news
and also to give news that is not so good for those who are
committing injustice and those who are committing oppression,
oppression, and those who got used to the complacency and got used to
the elitism of being in Mecca. So if you look at the Surah, the
surah itself is going to highlight and much of my Quran is going to
highlight a few things it's going to highlight the Oneness of Allah
subhanaw taala, who Allah is what Allah Subhana Allah is not the
Essence of Allah Subhana Allah and the actions of ALLAH SubhanA Tada
like what Allah does, how do we know Allah subhana tat, just want
to highlight the essence of who Allah Subhana Allah is, and he's
going to focus on talking about makinde Quran and the Sunnah
specifically also is going to be talking about the prophet hood,
who Mohammed Salim is who he is not. And who he gets his message
from. So Jibreel Ali salaam, defending and supporting the
Prophet Mohammed Salman against the accusations that are directed
to him. And then of course, talking about the resurrection. So
if you look at the Meccan put on, you can summarize then I can go on
by saying it'll address those three things. Number one, it'll
address who Allah subhanaw taala is it'll address the Prophet
Muhammad, the Senate and the prophethood what it means to be a
prophet, and what it means not to be a prophet, again, against the
accusations that the Prophet Salim is mad or that He's a magician, et
cetera, the things that were phrased by Gu phrase by
unbelievable Maria and others, as we discussed before, and then it's
good to finally discuss the resurrection. Now what Hadith that
I want to look at before we get into the discussion here and this
hadith is very important, is the hadith of Rasulullah saw Salam as
narrated by it'd be normal and abnormal said that so Salam says
Men Salah who anyanwu Illa, Yama, Yama Tikka and Elie Selia, caught
up in a Shem suku. We were either sama Fedora will either summer
sharp, but it's said that the Prophet Muhammad Salim said
whoever wants to be able to see the Day of Resurrection as though
it's happening right in front of you. Then recite Surah techweek,
the shrimps who will not recite Surah till in fifth or either
summit on Fedora, and recite Surah, and in chief of either
center on Shabbat. So those three sewers give us insight into what's
going to be happening on that day, the day of resurrection when we
stand in front of Allah subhanho wa taala. And what's interesting
is, if you see those three sutras, you will see that they build on
each other, the Surah detec, we introduces the concept of
resurrection skeleton in Fidra, accentuates or adds on to it. And
then of course, sort of the NCR adds on another layer as well.
Just a little bit of an overall structure of the surah. Because
when you look at the Surah, it's important to kind of just look at
the big picture first, then zoom in, you will see that the surah
contains 12 One statements. So now if statements if is like in, if
this happens, and that happens, but here, it's either either means
it's a one, it's not a matter of whether it can or cannot happen,
it will happen, it's just a matter of one. So one implies that it
will come through, it's just a matter of time. So the first six
when statements describe the events that will take place just
before the day of resurrection. And the second six are going to be
discussing events that take place on the Day of Resurrection. Now
it's important here to highlight the map, what I call the literal
cinematography of the Quran, you will see that the Quran will fast
forward, go behind so foreshadow then go back into the past, so
that the Quran will jump from Present Past and future to capture
the audience to get us to think and to get us to imagine that
Allah subhanaw taala is not limited by and it's not bound by
time that Allah subhanaw taala has access to time in the present in
the future in the past. And this is getting us to imagine the Day
of Resurrection jumping into the reality of our, our current day
and age and back and forth. So the Quran is not following a linear
boring style of narrative or narrative or narration. It's going
into the past, going into the present going into the future. And
another important thing here you'll notice as we're as we're
highlighted here, as we've highlighted here, that the Quran
and Sunnah till the Surah Surah of the Quran specifically, will talk
about things that the Arabs take as fixed things that are core to
the items like imagine if you living in the desert, what do you
see a score? What do you wake up to every day you wake up to the
sun every day, you wake up to the stars at night, so the stars at
night, the stars are the most clear and visible things in the
night. And the sun is the most visible thing during the day. So
as it Allah Spinetta is reminding them the things that you take for
granted. The things that you take as fixed the things that you've
taken as fundamental to existence. The things that your lifestyle
revolves upon, are not eternal. They're not innate. They're not
intrinsic intrinsically to themselves. They're not necessary,
or they're not existing by necessity, meaning that they are
finite, limited entities that will come and will go everything that
is created has a beginning and an end. So the default here is that
okay? If everything Chris
He has the beginning. And the understanding is that the
uncreated being Allah does not have a beginning does not have an
end. So it's speaking in a way that is accessible to the average
person is speaking in a way that is accessible to the sea person
who's traveling by sea, it's speaking to a way that is
accessible to the person who's hurting the camels and the
shepherd and the bouncing bedwin in the desert out of individuals
living again in the mountains. And that's why the mountains are also
highlighted here. So those are three things that we need to think
about. And keep in mind when we're framing the Surah, that the Quran
will go from the past or the present, and future. And it will
highlight things that are fundamental to the Arab existence.
The data for traveling by night will rely on the stars to navigate
that guidance. And the sun that is fundamental to their existence, is
also going to disappear. So the things that are core are going to
disappear. That's the highlight at the very beginning. Excellent,
excellent pipe. So let's let's let's look here, let's look here
at the first eye. So we said that the first six when statements are
going to cycle events building up to the Day of Resurrection. So how
do we know that their resurrection is approaching first thing that
will happen according to this, so according to the Surah Surah, with
either Shem su Kuvira. So let's recite it and did that sink in
either Shem zuku will rot when the sun begins to be wrapped up around
itself. So let's let's divide this let's focus on every word in sha
Allah, either, as we mentioned, is either is a when statement, not an
if statement demand. So either means when it's a matter of time
it will happen, then, so either is used to hear something else is
without the LF, as said here, is used to refer to the past, whereas
either is used to refer to the future. And it also indicates
something that will happen over time. Whereas if indicates
something that happens immediately, or something that
happens in a short period of time, so either is something that will
happen over a period of time, meaning the sun is not going to
just engulf itself and disappear and cease to exist. Immediately.
Like that, no, it'll happen over time. It happens over time. Or the
process begins over time. And the final entity of its disappearance
might take again, less time, but allow them about the details. But
this just can be assumed from the language. So ALLAH SubhanA, Allah
is reminding us here, either is used to indicate the future but
cool, we wrote the verb is in the past tense. Now, this is one of
the subtleties of the Quran, and it takes some time to get used to
it. You know, when we read the English translation, we don't
really pick up on these subtleties, but they're really
important. So why does Allah use a, a, like a statement in or
either either term to indicate some that will happen in the
future over time, but then uses a verb, which suggests something
happening in the past tense. So why don't mix between something
happening in the future. And then it's as if it's happened in the
past. And this is a style, a rhetorical style that's used by
the Quran, when talking about something that will happen in the
future, and undoubtedly, will happen in the future. It's as if
it's already happened. You know, when you send somebody Consider it
done, like, there's no I'm gonna let you down in sha Allah Consider
it done. It's done. It's happened, even though it hasn't happened
yet, but it's as if it's happened. So Allah subhanaw taala is getting
the honor of primary audience of the Quran and us by extension to
think about the reality of resurrection. It's so real,
that's, it's as if it's already happened. Now there are those
philosophers who actually look at this and say, yeah, it is as if
it's already happened, but to Allah Subhana Allah because Allah
subhanaw taala is not bound. By time, Allah is not bound by any of
the creations or entities they set in motion. Time is irrelevant to
us, past, present future relevant to us, but Allah is not bound by
the past, present and future that we imagine and that we're limited
by. So it's as if the revelation it's as if the resurrection is
already something so real so, so apparent that it's already
happened to Allah subhanho wa taala. But we don't want to get
into the the fine details of the philosophy. We just want to look
at the Quran and think about the implications. Now, why does Allah
Subhana Allah talk about the sun. So this is the first time that
Allah is going to discuss an entity, an entity that is very
core to Quraysh that is very core to the Arabs and core to humanity
as a whole. The sun is so important that the Babylonians,
the Egyptians and other civilizations worshipped it. And
they depicted it with many symbols, some depicted it with a
circle that has eight rays. And for a long time, it was believed
to be the center of the universe. However, we know that not to be
the case. And the earth is not the center of the universe as well.
It's this the sun is part of our solar system, and it's central to
the solar system, but there's no way of assuming or suggesting that
it's the center of the universe. These are old ideas that go back
To the limited understandings that we once had, but Allah subhanaw
taala does define the night the day and the sun and the moon as a
yet so let's look at this together lots of planets Alice's were mean
to you he Lane one was Shams one come out, And among His Signs are
the night and the day and the sun and the moon letters you do only
Shansi when you come out, do not prostrate to the sun or to the
moon was you do only learn he led the father
and worship prostrate only to the One who created them in
IE
if you really want to worship him and submit to Him and accept Him
as your Lord, you should not be associating anybody else with him.
The idea here is that anything that is created is a metaphor is
Sai a an indication of the power of Allah when I look at the sun, I
imagine Subhanallah how much light and how much life depends on this
thing. And it's a source of light, just like Allah is the source of
greater light. So much life depends on the sun, every life
depends on Allah subhanaw taala the sun disappears or the sun from
our point of view is absent it's no longer visible. That doesn't
mean that Allah is Ever invisible, no Allah that is always visible.
So when I look at the things around me the creation of Allah
the serve as a yet as miracles as signs that guide me to recognizing
ALLAH SubhanA Tada. So Allah Subhana Allah is reminding us that
the shrimps and other areas in the Quran sortable so that he's
reminding us that the shrimps, the stars and everything around us,
they serve as a add for us to reflect upon. And it's so
interesting because we are living in the current day and age we
don't really pay attention to to the universe, you know, and this
is such a sad, sad condition of our ummah. If you look at many of
the names of the stars, they were actually named, and they were
given Arabic names out of the names because some of the early
you know, an analysis of the star and the solar systems and, and
other systems around us and celestial objects were done by
Muslims, they were done the Arabs and definitely a part of that was
motivated by the Quran calling these universal things around us.
These celestial objects are signs that we have to really look at and
studying and understanding that will lead us to a better
understanding will lead us to having a better understanding of
our own reality and the human reality and the nature around us
is very powerful, very important. So we should revive one of the
things that I take from this is early McCunn Quran is teaching us
you want to know Allah Look around you. You will see Allah has power
and manifestation and everything that's around you look at the sun,
look at the stars look at the moon. So we should take these
things seriously. The man and the word tech we hear the word
techweek so now we talked about the son of shrimps and why it's
important. Now let's look at the word tech we're what is tech we
mean? Like literally the word cool means ball. It's a ball because
you wrap up again you know when when we used to play and eat in
soccer in Egypt, we back and we didn't have soccer balls, we take
a bunch of cloth or a bunch of plastic, wrap it up together and
make a ball out of it. So the idea of wrapping up that's what liquid
is, even though remember that remember when you wrap it up
around your head that's called Liquid the turbine so it refers to
the act of wrapping something up that's one of the definitions
demand. So initially, he says while kolu was solving a problem
then a fidelity and network with general shake bow be ill about
when we do tech we remember who we left for her Allah ROTC work ethic
we did cow I'll carry well who are generally general CRB Ba Gua in
about semana COVID He who will Jim roll down the hill Baldon Sumeru
fit Rama the way they found that he can do them. And so he's
telling us here a diversity act of wrapping something up like that
the sun itself, the rays they usually extend will eventually
wrap up around other say actually, no, it's the light itself will
disappear because of the activity wrapping. Others say no, it begins
to wrap up and begins to spin out of its course this is a modern
understanding based on, you know, an understanding of Astronomy and
Space understanding of the universe, our current
understanding things might change in the future. But it refers to
the act of the sudden event she's spinning, spinning, spinning,
spinning, and spins out of its out of its it spirals out of control.
And then its light consumes everything else and eventually it
dies. So whether it's okay, the light itself will spin or the
light that usually comes out will be wrapped up so it becomes dark.
So metaphorically, it means that will become dark or whether it
will spin so fast out of control. Either way, the reference here is
that the Sun which you take for granted is something that that
exists something that you wake up to every day will eventually
disappear. Tomorrow so cool. We're not meaning it will eventually
disappear.
fear if not best said the habit. It burns out or loses its
brightness of the hack says dies out wears out. It's destroyed and
dies. Is it in the job? He says cool. We got a we are over what
are what are the chips? I love it. So it goes into hiding it
disappears. It's no longer relevant. Yeah. And you're maybe
Aurobindo theme says, you know, maybe it's thrown out if it's
flung out. So you see all of these I've mentioned a few opinions,
yes, we can go back to the classical understanding. They
understood it to me that the sun eventually will die out.
Eventually it will die out. And others actually, Abu Salah says it
will eventually fall out of its orbit and engulf the Earth. Isn't
that interesting. So we have early companions in February who believe
that eventually, the sun will spiral out of its orbit, and
engulf the earth. Now, if you have some time, I left you a link here
for a video, I really recommend that you watch it. And it talks
about the death of the death of the son the death of the Son. If
you have some time, please do watch it. And imagine how relevant
this is to the time that we're living in today. The man safe says
when a big star dies, a black hole, a black hole forms, pools
and wraps things in. Yes. So whether and again, say if you can
actually watch the video as well, some say that yes, it absorbs
everything else. And some say that it actually extends and consumes
everything else that it's energy because it's a gas at the end of
the Sun. The Sun is a solar entity, it's made up of gas, the
gas would spiral so much, they eventually would flung out its own
gravity will not be able to sustain the movement, you know,
and eventually it will just it will just die out and consume
everything else. So what however you imagine it, they understood it
to be that eventually it will die. To the things that you the thing
that you take as granted during the day eventually will die.
What's the second isa what you then do do?
CAD dot laju literally refers to planets or stars, and refers to
something that stands out something that shines. That's why
even in English we say a star is somebody who shines someone who
stands out, and in Kedar literally means to lose its color to become
dolt. The man and also it means instantly that which means to fall
off the man. So what we're understanding here is that the
colorful stars will eventually become dull. Let's click to see.
And we can imagine this could mean that the star the the light of the
star eventually will be so dim that it doesn't reach us where the
stars themselves would fall out of their place. Whether the stars
themselves will disappear. However you want to understand what's
understood here is that this is a reference to the things that you
take for granted during the day and things that you take for
granted during the night will eventually cease to exist. cease
to exist. So I'm supposed to think here, okay, if everything around
me will cease to exist, then what we'll stay behind. The one that
will stay behind is Allah because he has no beginning and an end. So
that's the assumption here that's what we're trying to think about.
That's what we're that's the the one of the purposes of thinking
and reflecting upon these eight theme. Some have said the stars
and the planet would all be thrust into Jahannam and they will be
brought to an end along with all that was worship besides Allah
subhanaw taala the man so I will ARIA narrated from obeyed Nica and
I will add you by the way very interesting figure. He was a
Persian slave who earned his freedom traveled to Mecca, Medina
and recited the Quran three times to me hotbar if you have some time
look up, Abdullah Alia, look up his life. You know, when we look
at the people who narrate these Hadith we gain a better
understanding and we gain a better appreciation for the Hadith that
they have shared for you. So Robin and as he says that the audience
heard the lady in the cab said sit to Ayrton kabilio, milk the Amity.
He says there are six signs that will come before the time of
resurrection, what would happen that people will be going about
their business when the sun's light will be extinguished, then
suddenly the planets would scatter and fall out of the orbits then
the mountains would crumble on the surface of the earth. And then the
earth will begin to shake and move and be mixed together. And the
jinn would run to the humans to figure out what's wrong and the
humans would run to the gym to figure out what's wrong and the
animals will be gathered all together and the birds and the
wild animals will come all out together shocked and in fear. So
he's commenting on baby cam here according to what it is actually
commenting on the events that will take place according to this sore
necks Allah says will either do better so yacht so for the Arabs,
the mountains you know when you're when you're Mecca and Medina look
at the mountains the mountains are so profound. They're so strong
they indicate might and strength and power. Allah Subhana Allah is
reminding us that even the mountains which are symbolically
Representing the power and the might of the desert
you know the olive used to say be strong like a mountain, be rough
be tough like a mountain. So, Allah subhanaw taala is showing
them that even the mountains which you depend on for security for
protection, even those will be dislocated, dislocated. But say
it. So here what he means what it means something moving slowly and
subtly and something moving casually and comfortably. For
example, let's say era, in the modern sense they are I mean, a
car it travels comfortably, right, but car in the old Arabic referred
to caravan, a camel as a travel. So sweet, you're out here, meaning
that the mountains will be made to move gradually, tonight, and other
ads actually see that it will be made to move.
Not gradually, but with ease. Like imagine, you know, sometimes you
struggle imagine metaphorically lifting a mountain, like you're
struggling but know Allah subhanaw taala with ease, allows it to be
crumbled. So it's not gentle, but it's so easy for Las Panatela.
It's as if it becomes a river that flows to the mountains which are
fixed and powerful and standing tall and strong. With literally
melts and all of its components would be you know, rendered No.
Basically, it ceases to it becomes again flat, the mountains will
become flat as understood tonight. So let's try that is giving us
again, the image of the Sun disappearing, the stars falling
out of the orbits and disappearing as well. The mountains the
mountains crumbling and are removed and I removed them and
Allah Subhana Allah reminds us in the Quran, Muhammad were
humiliated ology bed with a look at that gets Anwar Haider in
Surah, Al Hapa. And the earth in the mountains are lifted, and
they're leveled with one blow. Hmm. Now let's go to the fourth a
Allah says, We're either Lucia pilot.
This is a great example of the multiple layers of the ayat and
the multiple layers of the PA. What do we mean? What do we mean
by that? We mean by that is that sometimes the word that is used,
could mean multiple could have multiple meanings could have
multiple meanings. So sometimes the word reshot here is a great
example of that the word Ishar is referring to or could refer to the
camels, the camels that are 10 months pregnant. So the 10 months
pregnant, and when the Arabs would would have the camels reach 10
months, they would be really excited because it means that you
know, and you camel is expected it's on its way to they would get
really, really excited. And that was considered to be a great
commodity. You know, when they looked at the camel, as as the
ship of the of the desert, it's something that you travel with,
it's something that you use, it's it's, it's its skin is important,
even the slight fever is important. The the bones are
important, you make so much out of it, you use it for war, use it to
travel for a long distance. So for the autumn, the camel represented
great commodity represented, life represented traveler represents an
opportunity to engage in war opportunity to travel to to be a
Bedouin to follow the herd. So it represented life. So let's have a
saying on that day. Type, the Day of Resurrection there ensure the
camels that are pregnant, meaning one of the most valuable
commodities would be what alternate, alternate means
abandoned, rendered, useless, neglected, neglected. So this is
all associated with the word alternate. So imagine a short
could also be in clouds, so meaning the clouds are altered,
they will stop moving. And insured can also come from the word
insurer, which means compassionate relationship, pleasant
relationships. So it's as if all of the affinities and the
relationships that we have will be cut off will be neglected will be
stopped will be rendered useless. And every individual will be
worried about themselves. So here's an example of how one word
HR could refer to the clouds as the move. And now the stock moving
or alternate the stock moving could refer to the relationships
that we have from Russia, and now they're no longer relevant to us.
You're not looking at like, Hey, that's my brother. That's my
cousin. That's my wife. Nobody's thinking about anybody else.
Everybody's thinking about themselves because of the gravity
of the situation. And in short, it could also mean the camels that
are pregnant 10 months of pregnancy out of 12 and now the
baby is expected so everybody's excited. The owner of the camel is
excited. And you can imagine you know, the Donald's would breed
camels. So when you have one pregnant camel in the 10 month, it
means you have many, many other camels that also pregnant in that
time. So expecting a lot
Have other cameras. So it's the growth of your assets. But that is
neglected on that day. So it's again, indicating the gravity of
the situation. And now here's one of the limitations of reading an
English translation, an English translation will only be able to
encompass one of those meanings. So the amorphous, the translator
will not be able to tell you that a shot is that could refer to the
clouds. And it could refer to the baby camel or the camel that's
pregnant with a baby expected to reverse their relationships,
because that will be too complicated. So they will usually
choose one of the meanings that is most relevant, most understood.
And that becomes part of the translation. But that's no longer
translation. That's what that's what I've seen. That's a
commentary. That's an exegesis. So that's why it's important to go
back. And sometimes you'll say, well, what's the point of tipsy?
You know what, yeah, you can definitely just look at one of the
meanings and it will still be sufficient. But when you look at
the multiple meanings, it gives you a sense of the depth of the
Quran. And it gives you an example of how the multiple words and the
multiple meanings of the Quran can definitely contribute to a better
image. Now, if you want to look at the word alternate, like the word,
Doctor, let's hear this word here. I hope you can see it, yes. Okay,
that this word here, okay, that is very interesting, because it means
something that stops working, something that is not functioning
anymore, or something that is useless or something that is
dismissed, or something that is not really taking care of itself.
So for example, Quraysh use the terminal credit, or ultra to or
mattala, to refer to a woman who did not beautify herself by
wearing makeup and fancy jewelry. So if a woman was not wearing
enough makeup was not wearing enough jewelry, they would call
her more off color, which means what, which means she's become,
you know, useless or discarded. And that goes to show you the
attitude of correct courage towards women, that they define
the value of a woman based on her her beauty based on how much
beauty she had, and how much she invested in her physical
appearance. Now, there are societies that will place the same
value in women, and it's actually something that's not too foreign
to us in the modern day and age. But the question that we should
ask ourselves here may be relevant and maybe irrelevant, but it's an
important question is how do we define worth for men? And for
women? It's an important question. Are we are you as a sister
defining your worth based on your beauty? are you reducing your
value to just your beauty? Or is there something greater in the
significance of the hijab in the significance of the femur and the
significance in the symbolic representation of the femur on the
hijab, and we'll come to that when we discuss Medina and Quran. But
it's interesting here that Allah subhanaw taala uses the word that
the Shah, the relationships, the camels, all of these things will
be neglected, will be neglected. And we know for example, other
schools in Kampala were given the same imagery. Yeah, well, may I
feel rooted in love? I mean, Fe, what? Me what Abby was off the
bat, do you have any liquid limiting in magnesium Shut up only
on that day, the man will flee from his brother, flee from his
mother and father, flee from his wife and his children, you know,
the people that you work so hard to please and to be around and to
be present with, you know, you've built an entire life to protect
and to provide, now those people become in the, in the gravity of
the death, resurrection? Irrelevant. So imagine the
gravity. And this reminds me of the time when I shot Ilana
AstroSolar sellin, Yara Salalah are we going to be gathered?
unclosed? And aren't people going to be curious looking at each
other says yeah, Aisha people are going to be so in, you know, so
just overwhelmed by the reality of the resurrection, that they won't
be bothered by anybody else, they won't even be thinking about
anybody else. There'll be so self absorbed, by the worry so self
consumed by the worry that they wouldn't be thinking about
anything else Subhanallah by the next area, what either motion
pushing or not. And when the wild beasts are gathered, that's the
basic translation, but will push has here a few things, a few
meanings, will Whosh can mean something that is untamed and
wild, could be an untamed animal vibe. And it could also be an
untamed human being, like a human being that, that, that, that that
is aggressive and wild and uncivilized if we use that term,
and here, it's interesting because it will be it's building on the
previous I, it's a default. So two ways that we can understand this.
The first is that the beasts themselves will actually be
gathered. So prey and Predator will be gathered. It's not just
the humans who are going to be having their basic in intuitive
intrinsic biological predispositions gone like your
basic tastes. No longer are you tasting no longer desire at all.
have suspended on the resurrection. The worry is so much
to all of the is suspended. And same thing with the animals. The
animals themselves are gathered. Everything is gathered.
Everything is gathered even the animals. So imagine everything
that's dead is resurrected and walks makes his journey back to
all of the Nasha the ground that will gather everybody to them. And
some people say that's Jerusalem, others say elsewhere, but Tip of
the day, everything that's dead is resurrected, and everything that's
dead will be gathered. Now what's interesting here is Allah is
saying that the humans will be gathering the beasts will be
gathered, the predator will be got to pray will be gathered. So how
can you have like a wolf gathered with the animal that's supposed to
hunt, it's reminding us that even the biological propensities and
tendencies will be passed that there will be no desire on that
day gone. You're so focused, you're so you're so worried and
anxious that none of that is relevant anymore. Very different
makeup very different chemistry, very different biology. Allah says
you're meant to but they will all go viral or do a similar work that
they the earth will be changed with something else and the sky is
the heavens everything above us will be changed it's not what we
know it's not the physical earth and the physical stars in the sky
in the universe's we know what things will change. Our makeup
will change. And even if my boss is attributed to me saying, Phil
Jana Oh Phil after Labor call me a shirt Illa smell. So the only
thing that will be left are the names everything else changes. So
the apple will be called an apple but it won't be an Apple as we
know it, the chemistry will change the biology will change. So keep
that in mind. So Allah spiders will either whoo hoo hoo, sure.
So even the Hadith here over Ira it's attributed to him that he
said that was salam said let to add let me add let to add lead to
aduna and Heroku. Either Yeoman PRT. HECTOR You God, Lee Shetty.
Al Jill Hi, Mina Shetty Elkanah
the claimants would get their claim on the death resurrection so
much that the hornless sheep would get its claim for the horned
sheep. So imagine there was a horned sheep that hurt another
hornless sheep. Even those little injustice in between animals would
be addressed on that day. No injustice would be gone on address
that's what there was a certain Tara's knowing justice will be
addressed not even between animals, not even between
environment like a madman some of them actually see the damage that
we caused to the environment. Eventually the Earth itself will
speak and complain about us in front of a loss of habitat.
Right.
What's what's, what's the example in the Quran there are many
examples in the Quran. But
I believe there's the area in salt it has on Zillow and Zillow, we're
not yet in Herbalife color, we're calling Salmela yo meeting to help
with Ebola. So imagine under that day, the sort of diseases that
Allah says when the shaking happens and the earth unveils it's
a thought to her it's as if the Earth has been having all of these
Yanni all of these worries and anxieties and that have been
consuming it and making it feel heavy. So the earth will
eventually take a breather, like a breath of fresh air and say
finally to have developed Bara it will speak I will all of the
wrongs that has been done to it. And upon it such a beautiful image
may Allah protect us. Yeah, Allah what an image. What a powerful
image and the Quran is so powerful, Allah it's full of
power, and it's full of beautiful imagery. May Allah protect us
Europe. I mean, feel free to send your comments I'm looking at the
chat feel free to send your comments your questions which
Allah will have some time to address them. Allah Subhana Allah
says, will either be held also G or not.
So this sick I hear the sick when condition or when statement
happens, Allah says we'll even be held to joy. When the sees now
behalf the single the single, the singular of behalf is better. And
the plural there are two types. There's uphole, which is the
irregular plural. And then there's Bihar, which is the super plural.
So when I say when I say Adho up forming C's, like 234 C's, when I
say we have it means the all of the bodies of water. So, all the
masses of water what will happen to all the masses of water on
Earth. So literally this means when the bodies of water will
become filled with flame
will become filled with with flame and if not best here says to set
general Hector to see right now that it will eventually become
like fire the earth the water bodies will eventually become fire
will burn out whoopee that they will literally imagine the water
will be
Come like fuel, and, and the seas will be on fire the man. So Jairus
can see Jarrett can also mean, the kindling of fire could also mean
the boiling. So that's the sea would rise in the water would
rise, it would boil to a point where it would evaporate and be
all consumed. And others say that the water bodies will rise and
eventually become all one. So imagine early on in our, in our
own tradition, Muslims were thinking about sea levels rising,
consuming the earth destroying the earth. And eventually, the sea
itself would have all of its water evaporated. All of this was
associated with Sujata. And this has mentioned sort of the tour as
well, what it really means Zoo, and by the sea, which eventually
will be kindled with fire. So which image is that Yeshua isn't
see would rise and all of his water would evaporate? Or is that
eventually will become like fire and consume itself? All of these
are possibilities as the language encodes the answer. They're all
possibilities. And in turn, in order to understand which one it
is that would require, that's where science comes in. And that's
where experience comes in. Right. So everybody can take from it
based on their own understanding, but the language itself, it it, it
entails all of these, these are all possibilities based on the
language type. The next day, the seven well even
for those who
are either new Fuzhou Zoo, and Mujahid Paula yaku user which will
M Thurlow ashba hoomin and Nasir Jinnah, but you know, he might
have a no so he says that on the Day of Resurrection, the souls are
parent the souls are paired paired with what what's happening what's
being paired so Mujahid says that they will be paired with the like
and people will come in categories by now here's a question that
comes up
here's the brother immediate mentioning mountains and lands
atomic level will follow have no gravity atomic level of follow
have no gravity or friction every dust particle as cotton and dust
does that compare for sharing I'm not I'm not sure what you're
trying to say forgive me but maybe you can paraphrase or rephrase
mountains of lands atomic level will follow. Have no gravity or
friction. pretty shallow. So what's said Here we even who do we
get a question that pops up? That which means pair or partner? But
Allah says in the Quran? Why now for Digi to Munna for all the
follow up on?
More? And certainly you've come to us alone as we've created you the
first time alone. So the question is, are we going to come to Allah
alone? Or are we going to come in pairs and in groups? There seems
to be a contradiction here. And some people actually read this and
look at your Quran is the Quran is what your Quran is contradicting
itself. Sometimes it says you will come alone. And sometimes it says
you will come in groups, and we say no, there are different phases
in resurrection. Pay attention here. So we say no, there are
different phases in the resurrection. So the beginning,
every one of us will be resurrected alone. So we all are
resurrected alone, we wake up alone, we're not going to wake up,
you know, you know, like the ancient Egyptians who used to bury
the Father with the mother and the whole family together so that they
would wake up together and celebrate together. No, no, the
image of the Quran evokes here is that no, you're not waking up
together together, you're not looking at others, you're waking
up alone. You're coming to Allah's Panatela alone. But then what
happens according to the AI itself, Allah says in surah 12, I
believe we're going to as well
then you will become three kinds of groups for us have will my
Imana man us Hello, my name Anna. What else have we mesh Emma ma OS
hub will mesh ama was born as a whole. So you will become three
groups that companions of the right that companions of the left,
and the four runners or the four runners. So what are those, so
this is an example of how there will be groupings in eventually
building up to the entrance in Jahannam agenda. So some say
listen to this carefully. Some say like even our bass, it's
attributed to him, according to federal raazi, that this refers to
the coupling of the body and the soul. That the first kind of
coupling the first kind of his reach is when the body is coupled
again with the soul. So your soul was somewhere, reminiscing
somewhere in a good place if you're a good person in a bad
place if you're not a real person, and now your soul comes back to
your body. That's the first coupling by and we know you can
read this on your own in terms of when this will happen. What the a
thought in terms of in terms of our understanding on tradition,
how that looks like we're not going to go into the details but
at least
You get a sense of what it means here the coupling, the next
coupling is the each individual be coupled with their deeds, their
book of deeds, yeah woman or their own co owner co ve Ma'am you can.
So the soul is placed into the body that's the first kind of
coupling, then every person will be will be given their books will
be coupled with their book, some will get it from the right and
we'll get it from the left from behind them as we know in the
Quran. And the third kind of grouping is people will be coupled
with those of the associated with dunya. And at the head of each
each group will be a leader, whether it's family institutions
or corporations, societies, communities, for example, Omarosa
in a hug, but he commented on this idea and he says you are on a Raju
solid now Raju salah, now Raju is the man and according to armour,
again, when he heard this idea, he says he recited the shoe let you
know volume wise word.
gather those who made committed and justice gather them with their
couples with the people that were like them. And we know for
example, in Surah, till in Surah, two, I believe it's sort of a
straw man I don't wanna see soon be emailed me he we call every
group with their Imams every society will be brought with Imam
with its leaders, you can imagine what I imagine on the difference
direction is that you will come as an individual and then within the
people that you have to take care of. So your family and the people
that were taking care of you. So you have the family than the
larger community. So the nuclear family, the extended family, the
larger community, the larger society, the larger nation state
the larger, so we'll be gathered, you know, all together in these
groups. Imagine Subhanallah going to Alaska, Canada, so it's talking
to us about okay, let's put everything into context. Let's put
everything into context. The last couple of years, either shrimp
sicuro the sun disappears, the stars for Jabba mountains cease to
exist the things that are worthy unimportant no longer relevant I
shall look to that will host the beasts that are supposed to be you
know, wild will all come together. Way there'll be how to join the
seas will be explosive, Lulu widget there will be a lot of
coupling. And now what E then in the middle Oh, that was so easy.
Let the ADA being particular. There Allah, very powerful. And
then on that day, so now what's happening? What's happening? These
are things happening on the Day of Resurrection. The woman or the
girl, the baby girl that was buried alive, my OODA will be
asked
Why did you get killed? What sin? What reason for what reason were
you killed? Now let's look at the word melt with murder literally
means something that comes heavy, suddenly becomes heavy. So imagine
why because
linguistically, it could mean that society looked at this girl as a
heavy responsibility. Like I don't want to take care of her because
I'm fearing poverty fearing social stigma.
So I don't want to I don't want to take take that responsibility
makes me feel heavy. Others said it's because they used to bury
her. So they used to put it under the ground, very bad image meant
like protectors. And they would add soil on top of her suffocating
her to death on the ground. So because she had to carry imagine
an infantile, it's very satellites, tear inducing a baby
girl being buried and carrying all of that weight on top of her.
Yeah, Allah the Muda. So she will be asked, for what reason were you
killed? And here's the question, why she asked, shouldn't the
person that killed her be asked, shouldn't mySociety that watch
this happen? be asked? Why are we asking this the girl who was
buried alive?
This is one of the most powerful images in the Quran. Allah says
what I use and Wang glooby Human Machine, that those who committed
such atrocities will not be asked about their in justices. But some
people will not even be acknowledged with ALLAH SubhanA
tab. And imagine someone has committed such atrocious crimes,
that they will not be given the opportunity to exchange or have a
conversation with Allah but what happened? Allah is not going to
give them any attention. Allah asked instead of asking them, why
did you do that? And Allah is not asking them because it doesn't
know Allah knows is just part of the scene part of the part of the
Day of Resurrection part of the the Justice finally being served
there. Now she gets a voice. The person who committed all this
injustice is now voiceless. And she who couldn't speak is given
voice and she's told why were you buried alive? The either male
postulate
luck. So it's interesting here because Allah doesn't speak
directly to her and say, why were you killed? Is that even been put
here let looking at her and say, For what sin was she killed? So
imagine what she killed. So speaking, yeah, Allahu Akbar.
Brother Nora is saying she deserves to be listened to, and is
given the right to express herself. And is that amazing? Now
what why is it so important? Why is it so important for the, for
the makeup or on the Meccan Quran is talking about social justice,
advocating on behalf of the person that was buried alive, that the
voices will be given voice, that accountability will eventually
leave nothing, everything will be held accountable. This is a
serious audit. Beautiful image beautiful, really beautiful image
in early Metcalfe's law, and we're talking about the third or the
fourth. Or if we don't take that one of the earliest Meccan Surah,
Sybil revealed talking about justice, giving voice to the girl
who was buried alive. And the question should be asked here, how
did the Arabs justify burying their own daughters alive?
And if you look at the notes, the Arabs, it could be any of these
things. They thought if we go to war, the women will be caught as
we're captives. And sometimes we develop feelings for the captors,
and they will bring shame to the family, or sometimes they will be
kept unwillingly in the tribe, and that will bring shame to the
family, they will be raped, and that will bring shame to the
family. Yeah, Allah. So imagine, we're young, imagine the twisted
thinking she could become a liability in war, therefore, I
don't want to suffer that pain. So I'm just going to terminate and
kill her from the very beginning. Yeah, Allah what a shameful thing
to do. As I say it was she was considered leverage during the
time of war. It's a vulnerability and I don't want to be vulnerable.
So no, other said when she when married, the females would give
birth to children who'd carry the name of their father, not their
name. So they would if this girl married outside the family, she's
no longer continuing the family name. She's taking somebody else's
family name on. So for that reason we get rid of her. Other said, No,
it's because the female itself as an offspring was considered to be
a compromise of the Father's masculinity. Like you're not male,
enough, you're not man enough that you weren't able to produce a
male.
Like, imagine the way the way they like to say, Oh, you you're a
male, you're Spartan as a female, and you give birth to a female,
that means her hormones are her biology, of course, they were
using those terms, but something like that, you know, her her
nature is greater than yours, your woman is stronger than yours, that
you give birth to a female and not a male.
It's kind of like any, however, they justified it, it goes to show
you here, in the absence of clear moral instruction from Allah
subhanho wa taala, we can justify the most horrific, the most
horrendous, the most unnatural things and accept them and allow
them to become a social norm.
Now, here's here's, here's the, here's the question. Question from
like, a historian would ask, How accurate is this? How often did
this really happen? Did it really happen as often as you guys claim?
And the reality is, it did happen, we know that it did happen because
the Quran tells us that it happened. And the Quran addresses
as one of the earliest things because it's one of those things
that it's one of those things that Jani it doesn't sit well with
people.
So Allah is giving Quraish an example of something that they've
kind of like neglected, I don't want to say accepted fully, but
they've neglected that we're kind of like, okay, if somebody decides
to do that, it's up to them up to them.
And I've accepted that it's their choice. Maybe it wasn't done on
mass scale as some claim, but it was done it was done exactly as
Amelia saying, you know, nowadays we have very similar practices,
infant female infanticide is not something that disappeared it
happens in many parts of the world for some reasons. And Allah gives
us another example in the Quran. Well, either Boucher Aha, who will
own one lodge rooms what didn't work out we get a lot of Coleman
and sue in Abu Shalabi. I will seek who Allah Boon me to Sofia to
Rob Ellis, Amaya comun. And when one of them is given the good news
of a baby girl, his face grows gloomy as he suppresses his rage.
He hides himself from the people because of the bad news that he
received. Should he keep her in disgrace or bury her alive in the
ground? evil indeed, is their judgment Elesa may echo the man.
Now, to give you an example of the fact that it did happen. This man
had done Abdullah that a man came his name is place even also, he
came to the Song of Solomon he said Dr. Rasool Allah in the way
to is Natori Asha Raja Eber Natalie leaf injure Ilya Oh Salah
Sasha Salah fascia, wow. He says he also Allah I killed or I buried
alive
12 or 13 Girls, I can't even remember. And I feel really bad
now what do I do? And abuso Salim said, Do you have
he told him tree or give the same number of camels away in charity.
So you took lives ignorantly it was the norm now you're repenting.
Now ask Allah Subhana Allah to forgive you. What you do is free
lives. So give the same number of camels a free the same number of,
of human beings so find somebody who's in a position of difficulty
and freedom emancipate them or an animal and emancipate and give the
animal in the name of Allah subhanaw taala and feed people to
know. Here's another one in our best said the children of the
Masoretic eat are in paradise and whomever claims otherwise, is
claiming that they're claiming that their Hellfire would
contradict this area. So meaning that those who die the children
who die are in Janna asking and being asked or on a different
direction. They're being asked why, why did this happen to so
this is again, one of the head that is used from a theological
point of view to answer the question of the children of the
non Muslims, where do they go, we believe as Muslims that they go
the agenda, anybody who dies before the age of maturity, or
anybody who's who dies unjustly before reaching Asian maturity
goes to Japan. And there's another Hadith to think about.
And again, there's another Hadith and this one is narrated by
selama, Ebony Z. And she says, Our mother died before embracing a
snap. She was so dutiful, and she was so kind to her kin, and she
was very generous and hospitable with her guests, but all the good
that she did, she buried one of our sisters, Jada's will Allah
will Allah accept her? Will Allah accept her, and also salam
responded by that that is such an atrocious crime, that if she died
upon it, without repenting to Allah Subhana Allah, that Allah
Subhan, Allah would not accept her. So again, the animal was
penetrated, protect us from that everybody will be taken into
account and their various, you know, everybody's various
struggles will be taken into account. May Allah Subhana Allah
protect us. But what I take from this is that we should be critical
of the things that we accept as a society that we can justify and
rationalize many things that are unnatural, that are disgusting,
that are really horrible, horrendous, because everybody says
that they're okay. Because they become the norm, or because we
justify them in the name of something else based on
assumptions that we have. So for society, for that Mexican society,
the assumption was power is important. Money is important.
family honor is important because family honor was so important. It
was okay to kill a baby girl, because otherwise it will
compromise the family honor. Now, it's sort of an anomaly, we come
to sort of an anomaly sorted out off, we address the same concept
again, and we will look at how the actually justified it as an act
that was not just acceptable as an act that was religious. And they
would say things like, look, Ebrahimian used to sacrifice or he
was going to sacrifice is married, and according to very minor
scholars is half and that was his offering to Allah Subhana Allah
and Allah commanded him to do it. He didn't do it, Allah gave him an
offer an alternative, but we have to do that to attain the pleasure
of Allah. So imagine the justified the Act, which is disgusting by
saying, I'm not just burying her. No, no, I'm giving her back to
Allah as an offering. Yeah, Allah SubhanAllah. So clothing, the sin
in religious jargon to make it acceptable? How often do we do
that? How often do we do that? Just be very honest. You know, we
justify haram by saying it's yeah, let's religious. It's really it's,
it's in the spirit of the text in its inherently it's good. We
justify all kinds of nonsense and nowhere. And there's no need to
give examples. But I can imagine, you know, that you would have up
you'd have many, many examples you can come up with yourself. By now
what's interesting, I want to just look at, look at Danny, when you
look at the seal,
you look at the seal. There are there are parts of the two that
are interesting, like those who focus on FIP will ask the question
of what are other examples of this that happen in the day that we're
living in.
So for example, let's look at this one. There's something called Al
did huffy the hidden burial, where you're burying a life, like
abortion for someone that they consider abortion after the period
has the period in which life is now considered, the baby is
considered to be being a soul. And then you kill that baby. That's,
that's considered to be like a burial of some kind. It's a form
of what and just like this, or using using some lenders, let's
let's be critical and be critical here. Don't just misquote to take
things out of context by some who say that using protection, like
using protection during intimacy
is a form of getting rid of the seeds that Allah Panatela or the
children that are lost by terror would have allowed to exist, and
you would use the Hadith like that.
I can what do huffy thermos aloo. I sent me a Salah manual as Lisa
Allah very can what the coffee. However, however, this is not
true, because there's another Hadith in which the Prophet
Muhammad Salam, you know the Jews were the people living in Medina
kingdom and he said oh look, using protection as a form of what and
the good Salam said No, Allah Subhana Allah Allah if Allah
willed for a baby to be born, no form of protection will prevent
the baby from being born. And if Allah did not will, for a baby to
be born, doesn't how it doesn't matter how hard you try, the baby
will not be born. So we shouldn't we shouldn't be impractical and
take things out of context and look at only oneness. Because this
hadith is actually there's a lot of question about this mostly
point of view of whether you can use protection or not in intimacy,
and the gist of everything when you look at the totality of the
Hadith literature, yes, you can. And that's not considered to be a
form of
form of light burial or you know, a form of hidden burial and what
the huffy actually not acceptable as long as you know, as long as
you remember the purpose of marriage is to procreate is to
have children. But sometimes you may pause the first year or so, to
get to know each other. Sometimes you may give yourself a little bit
of time to get ready financially, even though there should not be an
excuse according to the Quran, because every big bill will come
with its risk. But of course, to use that it's not considered haram
actually, there are Hadith that suggests an abusive Salam, you
know, allowed the companions to use it and actually other hand
suggests that it will select encourage the companions to use
it, but that's an example of a left it like after meaning. A
small, you know, tangent that the professor will go on, to speak
about reality and things that were practical. So there's there are
many ways there are many ways to look at the Quran, some will look
at historically linguistically in terms of its grammar in terms of
its now having to serve and others will look at the Quran in terms of
the fifth like okay, what can we take from this and how is it
relevant in the current day and age and relevant to the situation
that we're living in today, but here's what we're going to do in
sha Allah Tada. We're going to take a quick break, and then we'll
come back and finish the surah inshallah Tada. So we'll take a
quick break now and sha Allah Tala, let's say until 630 We'll
pick up again at 630 and inshallah Tada finish by 730 just like a
normal human Subhanak along the family, masha Allah in England,
let's steal food according to Wallach See you soon was Salam
Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
