Assalamu. Alaikum. Warahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

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

Welcome back to our journey with the Quran. And today inshaAllah,

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

we're going to be talking about the third Jews of the Quran, the

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

end of Surah Al Baqarah and the beginning of Surah Al yam Iran,

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

in Surat Al Baqarah, we have learned so far about, or we have

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

discussed or reminisced so far about, what should the behavior of

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

a believer be to contradict or to stay away from the wrong behavior

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

of previous nations, particularly the one described in Surat Al

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

Baqarah by Allah subhanahu wa, the behavior of Bani Israel,

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

in the part that we're going to be discussing tonight are some of the

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

very beautiful ayat of the Quran. And again, all of the ayat of the

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

Quran are beautiful. Some of them have more significance than

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

others, than others, in the minds of many people, among these ayat

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

is one that's often recited and memorized, which is Ayat al qursi.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:12

And in Ayat al qursi, Allah, subhana wa Taala describes

00:01:12 --> 00:01:19

himself. Subhana wa Taal, Allahu, lehual, hayur, Qayyum, let hoodoo.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:27

Sinatumala at your mafal, many scholars

00:01:28 --> 00:01:35

of the Quran

00:01:40 --> 00:01:46

consider that this is the greatest ayah of the Quran, and they

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

consider it the heart of the Quran

00:01:49 --> 00:01:53

the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, more than once emphasized

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

the value and the importance of this ayah

00:01:57 --> 00:02:01

in on some occasions when the Companions heard From the Prophet

00:02:01 --> 00:02:05

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that Allah subhanahu wa has the most

00:02:05 --> 00:02:10

glorious name, which is the one that if he Subhanallah is asked

00:02:10 --> 00:02:14

with or invoked with his Subhanallah would respond or

00:02:14 --> 00:02:18

accept this application. And when the Companions asked the Prophet

00:02:18 --> 00:02:23

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Allah is millahill Abu the greatest of

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

the names and the attributes of Allah subhanahu wa, the Prophet

00:02:26 --> 00:02:31

salallahu alayhi wa sallam told them, seek it in Surah Al Baqarah

00:02:31 --> 00:02:36

and in surat al yamran. Search for it in these two sura. And the

00:02:36 --> 00:02:40

scholar said, we found that the Common Name of Allah subhanahu wa

00:02:41 --> 00:02:47

that was mentioned in these two sower is Allahu Alam Allah.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:52

Subhana wa Taala describes himself as Al hay the Ever Living Subhana

00:02:52 --> 00:02:56

wa Taala al Qayyum, the one who takes care of everything that he

00:02:56 --> 00:03:02

Subhana wa Taala has under his control and is responsible for

00:03:02 --> 00:03:07

Subhana wa taala. Allah subhana wa Taala describes himself as lethu

00:03:07 --> 00:03:12

sinatumula. I know he does not doze off. He does not feel sleepy,

00:03:12 --> 00:03:17

nor nor does he Subhana wa Taala fall into slumber or deep sleep.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:22

Allah subhana wa Taala gives us these beautiful attributes of his

00:03:22 --> 00:03:28

so that we would recognize and we would feel comfortable. Why are we

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31

worshiping Allah subhanahu wa without any partners or any

00:03:31 --> 00:03:32

associates

00:03:34 --> 00:03:37

in this part of the Surah, also Allah subhanahu wa is telling us

00:03:37 --> 00:03:41

about the journey of Sayyidina, Ibrahim, alayhi wa, salatu wa

00:03:41 --> 00:03:46

salam Khalid, or Rahman, the one who was chosen by Allah subhanahu

00:03:46 --> 00:03:51

wa, this very high level of friendship and close friendship.

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

So Allah subhanahu wa telling us about part of the journey of

00:03:55 --> 00:04:01

Sayyidina, Ibrahim, alaihi wa salatu wa salam, who really had

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

deep faith in his heart. And Sayyidina Ibrahim, alaihi Salawat

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

Salam traveled to the east and to the west. And wherever he went, he

00:04:10 --> 00:04:16

spread faith. He spread the Dawah to Allah subhanahu wa In one

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

incident, which is the one described in the following ayat,

00:04:19 --> 00:04:24

Allah subhanahu wa tells us about his discussion with Anam Rud, this

00:04:24 --> 00:04:29

tyrant king who claimed to have all the powers that he needs. And

00:04:29 --> 00:04:32

this is a trait of all the tyrants. This is basically the

00:04:32 --> 00:04:36

same thing that firaoun claimed during the time of Sayyidina, Musa

00:04:36 --> 00:04:41

Alain, abina, alias sarato Salaam, and all the tyrants of Quraysh

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

claim to have during the time of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa

00:04:44 --> 00:04:48

sallam. So in this case, Sayyidina, Ibrahim, alayhi wa,

00:04:48 --> 00:04:51

salatu wa, Salam comes with logical

00:04:52 --> 00:04:56

explanations why Allah subhanahu wa is the one to be worshiped and

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

only Allah subhanahu wa.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03

Allah to support the cause of Allah subhanahu wa and in

00:10:03 --> 00:10:07

beneficial for beneficial reasons. So Allah subhanahu wa is inviting

00:10:07 --> 00:10:12

us to use that money, which is actually a trust that Allah

00:10:12 --> 00:10:15

subhanahu wa gave us. The Money does not belong to us, the money

00:10:16 --> 00:10:20

we got it somehow, and we're going to spend it somehow. So it's a it

00:10:20 --> 00:10:24

transitions through our hands. It is not our property. It's only

00:10:24 --> 00:10:27

through the will of Allah subhanahu wa and the mercy of

00:10:27 --> 00:10:30

Allah subhanahu wa that we have acquired this money. Therefore,

00:10:30 --> 00:10:35

when Allah subhanahu Wan us and invites us to spend it in a way

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

that he Subhanallah approves of, we should rush to doing that. So

00:10:39 --> 00:10:44

Allah subhanahu wa describes those believers who spend their money

00:10:44 --> 00:10:48

for the causes of Allah subhanahu wa taala, day and night, like a

00:10:48 --> 00:10:54

garden that was irrigated through rain, and it started flourishing,

00:10:54 --> 00:11:00

and its plants started growing. And were it not for that rain,

00:11:00 --> 00:11:03

which is this charity that people are spending in the causes of

00:11:03 --> 00:11:08

Allah subhanahu wa, it would have been, it would have been a very

00:11:08 --> 00:11:14

limited growth of that of that garden. Allah subhanahu wa also

00:11:14 --> 00:11:19

gives a very beautiful example in the ayat by the end of Surat Al

00:11:19 --> 00:11:24

Baqarah. And the example starts in a very strange way. Ay Abu Asmaa,

00:11:25 --> 00:11:33

Would one of you love to have gardens of grapes and dates and

00:11:33 --> 00:11:37

all the kinds of fruits and water

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

running through it, through rivers running through it. So when

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

someone listens to that, they would say, of course, I would love

00:11:44 --> 00:11:49

to have that. Yes, who wouldn't? And then Allah subhanahu wa takes

00:11:49 --> 00:11:56

us wa al bahul ki bar. And then this person grew old, wala houd,

00:11:57 --> 00:12:01

and the that person has a weak offspring that cannot take care of

00:12:01 --> 00:12:05

that garden. So when the garden was in its peak with all of these

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

fruits and vegetables and beauty and water, and the person grew

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

old, he cannot take care of it anymore, and his children are too

00:12:13 --> 00:12:20

young and too weak to make to take care of it. The hinarum, a storm

00:12:20 --> 00:12:26

came with fire, and it burned that garden. So now, what was the value

00:12:26 --> 00:12:30

of that garden? The value collapsed and disappeared

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

overnight. And this is an example, a very beautiful example,

00:12:34 --> 00:12:37

metaphorical example that Allah subhanahu wa is giving us about

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39

those who do

00:12:40 --> 00:12:45

what appears to be good deeds, whereas their intention is not for

00:12:45 --> 00:12:49

the sake of Allah subhanahu wa, so in the eyes of people, it would be

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52

a very good deed, and you start growing, and their esteem and

00:12:52 --> 00:12:56

respect starts growing in the eyes of people. And then when this

00:12:56 --> 00:13:01

person comes to Allah subhanahu wa on the Day of Judgment, expecting

00:13:01 --> 00:13:05

to receive reward for again, what appeared to people to be good

00:13:05 --> 00:13:08

deeds, but they were not sincere. For the sake of Allah subhanho wa

00:13:08 --> 00:13:12

taala, he finds that the fire has eaten all of that and he doesn't

00:13:12 --> 00:13:17

have anything left. Allah subhanho wa Taala reminds the believers

00:13:18 --> 00:13:21

about again the value of that money, because many people fail in

00:13:21 --> 00:13:32

that test through, usually a Riba, Allah subhanahu wa Subhana wa

00:13:34 --> 00:13:41

taala, and abandon any sign or any trace of Riba. And if you don't

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

but Ilam, tafa Alf, then will be Harbin Allah. You are Rasulullah.

00:13:46 --> 00:13:51

If you do not abstain from using this usury, this unjustified

00:13:51 --> 00:13:54

increase in money without any effort of yours, without any risk

00:13:54 --> 00:14:00

to you, then beware of a war of war with Allah, Subhanahu wa and

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

His Messenger, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

and the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:14:06 --> 00:14:09

inhabited wadaya When he was addressing the largest

00:14:09 --> 00:14:13

congregation of companions in his time he, sallAllahu alayhi wa

00:14:13 --> 00:14:21

sallam put down or canceled any kind of usury, Any kind of lending

00:14:21 --> 00:14:25

with an increase, what people call today interest, and this is a

00:14:25 --> 00:14:29

misnomer for that act of usually, they call it interest, which is

00:14:29 --> 00:14:32

something that's appealing. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

00:14:32 --> 00:14:37

sallam put that all down. And he started by saying, what in a wala

00:14:37 --> 00:14:44

Dayan in adahu Dayana labas, that the first practice of such a bad

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

behavior that I'm putting down and I'm canceling is the one that was

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

done by my Uncle Al Abbas, who used to lend people for an

00:14:52 --> 00:14:55

increase in money. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:14:55 --> 00:14:57

canceled all of this practice,

00:14:58 --> 00:14:59

supposedly for.

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

Forever for us, it's up to us to follow that guidance of the

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

Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam. And then we come to the

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

longest ayah in the Quran, and again, Allah subhanahu wa, again,

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

as if Allah subhanahu wa is reminding us about the tests that

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

we might fail when it comes to money, Allah subhanahu wa is

00:15:19 --> 00:15:23

telling us about the longest ayah in the Quran, which is the ayah of

00:15:23 --> 00:15:27

that prior to that ayah. By the way, the ayah immediately before

00:15:27 --> 00:15:31

this ayah is one of the most

00:15:32 --> 00:15:37

alarming ayat in the Quran, which is an ayah. If we do understand,

00:15:37 --> 00:15:41

we should always keep it on our minds. Remember what we mentioned

00:15:41 --> 00:15:45

before, when Allah subhanahu wa warned Bani Israel several times,

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

what Taku yawman wa? Taku yawman Beware of a day which is the Day

00:15:50 --> 00:15:54

of Judgment. Here, Allah subhanahu wa is addressing the believers,

00:15:54 --> 00:16:00

saying what Taku yaw meant, or ja una fey illallah, now prepare for,

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

beware of be on guard, of be mindful of a day when you will

00:16:05 --> 00:16:10

return back to Allah subhana wa Taala tomb met with kullu nafzim,

00:16:10 --> 00:16:13

kasabet om lamun.

00:16:14 --> 00:16:18

Many scholars of the Quran say that this is the last ayah, the

00:16:18 --> 00:16:22

last complete ayah to be revealed to the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa

00:16:22 --> 00:16:22

sallam.

00:16:23 --> 00:16:27

So this the order of this ayah, the order of the revelation of

00:16:27 --> 00:16:31

this ayah was very close to the end of the life of the messenger

00:16:31 --> 00:16:35

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, as if the final reminder from Allah

00:16:35 --> 00:16:40

subhanahu wa taala to His servants is remember that day, because this

00:16:40 --> 00:16:44

day will be coming. The following ayah is again the longest ayah in

00:16:44 --> 00:16:47

the Quran, which is talking about death, and the details of the

00:16:47 --> 00:16:51

death, how it should be written, how it should be witnessed, what

00:16:51 --> 00:16:54

are the conditions of these witnesses, and how the witnesses

00:16:54 --> 00:16:58

should not be intimidated, and so on and so forth. And Allah

00:16:58 --> 00:17:03

subhanahu wa concludes the ayah by what Taku laha wayu Ali mukumula,

00:17:03 --> 00:17:07

again, the as the aspect of taqwa, we find it at the very beginning

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

of the Surah, Surat Al Baqarah, we find it very close to the end of

00:17:12 --> 00:17:15

the Surah, and we find it intermittently in different

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

locations in the Surah. So this is one of the main themes of Surat Al

00:17:19 --> 00:17:23

Baqarah, the Taqwa of Allah, subhana wa Taal, by the end of the

00:17:23 --> 00:17:27

surah. Of course, we know the ayah that was revealed to the Prophet

00:17:27 --> 00:17:30

sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam, again to distinguish his

00:17:30 --> 00:17:33

companions and to show that they're gonna contradict the

00:17:33 --> 00:17:36

behavior of Bani Israel, which was the main subject of the whole

00:17:36 --> 00:17:42

surah. Lehi, mafi, Samah, philbdum, fusi Kum autum has Abu

00:17:42 --> 00:17:48

Subhana wa Taala

00:17:51 --> 00:17:55

says, in this area, to Allah subhana wa taala, what Ali belong

00:17:55 --> 00:18:00

everything in the heavens and the earth, and whatever you hide in

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

your chests, or you declare Allah subhanahu wa hold you accountable

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

for

00:18:07 --> 00:18:10

and when the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

00:18:10 --> 00:18:14

sallam heard this ayah, they were horrified, and many of them came

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

to the Prophet, saw them saying that some of us would some of us

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

would think about improper things, but We would not follow that with

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

an action. Are we still going to be held accountable? This is going

00:18:25 --> 00:18:29

to be so horrifying. And the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi wa

00:18:29 --> 00:18:31

sallam told them, what are you going to say

00:18:33 --> 00:18:36

now? Benny Israel, when they were given commandments from Allah

00:18:36 --> 00:18:41

subhanahu wa what was their response? Samyana, wahsaina, we

00:18:41 --> 00:18:45

have heard and we have disobeyed. So what are you gonna say? And the

00:18:45 --> 00:18:50

companion said, Samia, now Alta, we have heard and we have obeyed.

00:18:51 --> 00:18:54

And immediately, once they showed that positive behavior, Allah

00:18:54 --> 00:19:01

subhanahu wa sent the relief in the following ayat emmanu raunzela

00:19:01 --> 00:19:06

Elahi. Me rabbi, he will Minun a Allah

00:19:10 --> 00:19:19

subhanahu wa is praising those believers who, again, although

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

they were scared, that did not prevent them from submitting to

00:19:24 --> 00:19:28

the words of Allah subhanahu wa, saying samyana wa al Tana And

00:19:28 --> 00:19:33

Allah subhanahu wa sent the relief. Leahullahu, nefsa, illaw,

00:19:33 --> 00:19:37

Saha le ha MEK as Abat wala, hamaq as Abad. Allah subhana wa Taala

00:19:37 --> 00:19:42

will not hold any soul accountable for anything, anything beyond its

00:19:42 --> 00:19:48

capacity, its maximum capacity. And people are not going to be

00:19:48 --> 00:19:53

held accountable for what they think and they do not act upon. So

00:19:54 --> 00:19:58

the accountability is going to be pending the action. If you do not

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

act, you will not be held.

00:20:00 --> 00:20:04

Accountable for that, and this is the Mercy of Allah subhanahu wa.

00:20:04 --> 00:20:08

Scholars of tafsir also mentioned that these last few ayat of Surat

00:20:08 --> 00:20:12

Al Baqarah are a treasure of the treasures of the Quran. So

00:20:12 --> 00:20:17

everyone should memorize them, and everyone should recite them every

00:20:17 --> 00:20:21

now and then, or quite often, to remember the Mercy of Allah

00:20:21 --> 00:20:24

subhanahu wa upon His creation,

00:20:25 --> 00:20:31

Surat Al Imran, again, is another of of the long Sura of the Quran,

00:20:32 --> 00:20:36

who is Ali Imran, or who are Ali Amron. The Al means the family of

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

the family of emron, who is the family of emron, and what is the

00:20:41 --> 00:20:47

significance of that name? The significant significance comes in

00:20:47 --> 00:20:54

some of the ayat of the surah in Allah, hasta famual, Ibrahim, ala

00:20:54 --> 00:21:01

Imran. So el Imran. Imran was the father of Sayyida, Mariam Ali has

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

Salam, the mother of Sayyidina. Ibn Ali salatu wa salam. This was

00:21:06 --> 00:21:10

a family of faith. The whole family was a family of faithful

00:21:10 --> 00:21:14

and obedient servants to Allah subhanahu wa the close knit family

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

and the extended family as well. So we find Sayyida Mariam, alaihi

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

salam, her son, of course, Sayyidina, Isa, alabina, ali,

00:21:23 --> 00:21:28

salatu, Salam. Her father is Imran. Her mother, who was who

00:21:28 --> 00:21:34

pledged to donate, or to pledge, her child, unborn child, at that

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

time, who she didn't know the gender of that child, she pledged

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

that that child is going to be a servant of the temple, who was the

00:21:42 --> 00:21:47

caretaker of the temple, the brother in law of the mother of

00:21:47 --> 00:21:51

Sayyida Mariam, Alabama, Ali has Salam, who was Sayyidina

00:21:51 --> 00:21:56

Zechariah, Saleh to Salim. Sayyidina Zechariah is the father

00:21:56 --> 00:22:00

of Sayyid na Yahya alabina, ali salatu wa salam. So all of this

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

blessed family is the Family of Imran. What do they have in

00:22:04 --> 00:22:09

common? This is again, a family of faith, a family of obedience to

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

Allah subhanho wa taala, a family of supplication to Allah subhanahu

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

wa and some of the most beautiful supplications, a family of

00:22:17 --> 00:22:21

devotion to the cause of Allah subhanahu wa and to the service of

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

the temple. When Sayyidina Zachariah and abina Arias Salam,

00:22:25 --> 00:22:29

as we mentioned before, when he grew old and he did not have a

00:22:29 --> 00:22:33

child, he was afraid, who is going to take care of the temple? Who is

00:22:33 --> 00:22:37

going to take care of maintaining the worship of Allah subhanahu wa?

00:22:38 --> 00:22:43

And he asked Allah subhanahu wa, dunka duriyaba, Tampa in

00:22:43 --> 00:22:48

nakasamia. Dua, Oh Allah, grant me a good offspring. You are the one

00:22:48 --> 00:22:52

who listens to the supplication. So we find in Surat Al Imran,

00:22:52 --> 00:22:58

again, a lot of ayat that are talking about secret and very

00:22:58 --> 00:23:03

emotional supplication between a servant and Allah subhanahu wa not

00:23:03 --> 00:23:06

only in the case of Sayyidina, Zakariya, Nabi na Ali salatu wa

00:23:06 --> 00:23:10

salam, not only in the case of the mother of Sayyida Mariam, alayhis

00:23:10 --> 00:23:13

salaam, not only in the case of a Sayyida Mariam herself, alayhi

00:23:13 --> 00:23:17

salam, but also in the case of many of the believers, the

00:23:17 --> 00:23:20

companions of The Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam. Later

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

on, when the surah talks about detailed events, especially of the

00:23:27 --> 00:23:33

Battle of and what ran through the hearts and the minds of the

00:23:33 --> 00:23:35

companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,

00:23:35 --> 00:23:39

during the different parts of the day, during the first part of the

00:23:39 --> 00:23:42

day, when they were victorious, during the latter part of the day

00:23:42 --> 00:23:47

when they faced a partial defeat and many of the companions of the

00:23:47 --> 00:23:50

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Up to 70 of the great

00:23:50 --> 00:23:53

companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam were

00:23:53 --> 00:24:00

martyred on that day, led by the great and beloved uncle of the

00:24:00 --> 00:24:04

Prophet, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, Sayyidina Hamza, Rabbi

00:24:04 --> 00:24:09

Allah. So this surah in general, is talking about a lot of

00:24:09 --> 00:24:14

emotions, a lot of internal feelings, whether they were

00:24:14 --> 00:24:19

manifested or declared, or whether they were kept inside. Sayyidina,

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

Zechariah Allah Ali salatu assalam. And his story comes again

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

in Surat Maryam later on in another part of the detail. But

00:24:29 --> 00:24:33

Sayyidina, Zakariya, alabina Ali, his Salatu was Salam. He's asking

00:24:33 --> 00:24:36

Allah subhanahu wa is not, first of all, he's not objecting to the

00:24:36 --> 00:24:41

will of Allah subhanahu wa that he has grown old and his wife also

00:24:41 --> 00:24:46

has grown old and barren. She's never been able to bear a child in

00:24:46 --> 00:24:52

her life, and he sort of lost any hope. Yet with Allah subhanahu wa

00:24:52 --> 00:24:57

there is always hope. So it shows one of the beautiful characters of

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

Sayyidina Zakariya and abina Ali salatu Asmaa.

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

Which is this continuous hope in Allah subhanahu wa, in the Mercy

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

of Allah subhanahu wa, sometimes. And this is something very

00:25:09 --> 00:25:12

interesting. When the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tells

00:25:12 --> 00:25:16

us how to make dua. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

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

instructs us UD Allah wa and to mukhinu Nabil ijeb Ask Allah

00:25:21 --> 00:25:26

subhanahu wa with full certainty that Allah subhanahu wa grant you

00:25:26 --> 00:25:32

what you're asking for, because if you think that it's not going to

00:25:32 --> 00:25:37

happen, the DUA is not going to be as strong and not as sincere, but

00:25:37 --> 00:25:40

having the full confidence that Allah subhanahu wa is the one who

00:25:40 --> 00:25:44

can cause anything to happen, and ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala can grant

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

this supplication. Then this is one of the reasons for the

00:25:49 --> 00:25:53

response to the supplication. Sayyidina, Zakaria, alabina Ali

00:25:53 --> 00:25:57

salatu salam, when he kept asking Allah subhanahu wa for many years,

00:25:57 --> 00:26:01

Rabbi habli to miladunka, duriya tantahiba in nagasame, Oh Allah,

00:26:01 --> 00:26:06

grant me this good offspring. When the angels came to Sayyidina

00:26:06 --> 00:26:07

Zakaria alabi

00:26:08 --> 00:26:13

to give him the good news, he couldn't believe himself. Now that

00:26:13 --> 00:26:19

I'm so old and my wife is so old, how is it gonna happen? And he

00:26:19 --> 00:26:23

asked Allah subhanahu wa for a sign, he just his heart was full

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

of gratitude and happiness. He didn't want to believe himself, so

00:26:29 --> 00:26:32

he asked Allah subhanho wa Taala for a proof, and Allah subhanahu

00:26:32 --> 00:26:37

wa told him the proof is for the next three days, you will not be

00:26:37 --> 00:26:41

able to say anything except the praise of Allah subhanahu wa, when

00:26:41 --> 00:26:44

you try to talk to people, you will not be able to talk to them.

00:26:45 --> 00:26:51

But when you try to to make a prayer to Allah subhanaw taala, or

00:26:51 --> 00:26:55

to bless, to to praise Allah subhanho wa taala, through your

00:26:55 --> 00:26:59

prayers, you will be able to speak. And again, he saw that for

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

the next three days he could not speak to people the regular speech

00:27:03 --> 00:27:08

only the praise of Allah subhanahu wa came out of his mouth, and he

00:27:08 --> 00:27:12

asked Allah subhanahu wa, how can I have a son after all of these

00:27:12 --> 00:27:18

years? And Allah subhanahu wa told him the response in Allah yafalu,

00:27:18 --> 00:27:24

mahesha, Allah subhanahu wa can do whatever he Subhanallah wills. So

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

you know this power of Allah, Subhanahu wa feel the gratitude,

00:27:29 --> 00:27:33

live the gratitude. Sayyidina Zakariya and ibna Ali salatu salam

00:27:33 --> 00:27:38

had this hope for that son to maintain worship in the temple

00:27:39 --> 00:27:44

after he saw the signs of piety of Sayyida Mariam, Alaya Salam, when

00:27:44 --> 00:27:48

he used to come to her in the temple, in seclusion in the

00:27:48 --> 00:27:52

temple, and he would find fruits out of season and food out of

00:27:52 --> 00:28:00

season in front of her, and he asked her, How, where from, Who he

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

used the word, and Lekki had a Mariam. And the word and is a very

00:28:04 --> 00:28:09

comprehensive word. It means, where, from, how, when, who, and

00:28:09 --> 00:28:13

so on. Who brought this to you? When did they bring it to you? How

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

did they get it? And so on. And Lekki had a Mariam, and the

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

response was, Who am I in the LA? It is from Allah subhanahu wa. It

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

is at that time that hope was revived in his heart that maybe

00:28:27 --> 00:28:36

it's not late after all, to keep asking Allah subhanahu wa accepted

00:28:36 --> 00:28:37

his supplication,

00:28:38 --> 00:28:41

another ethic of the DUA that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

00:28:41 --> 00:28:46

sallam is teaching us about which is in Allah, yes, the jibuli

00:28:46 --> 00:28:49

ahadikum, the meaning of the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu

00:28:49 --> 00:28:53

alayhi wa sallam in Allah, hadikum, male qatya,

00:28:54 --> 00:29:00

ATI, Rahim wa Malam Yas tajil kalau Amaya Malaya, rasulallah ya

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

salam kala ani Akua da Ali

00:29:05 --> 00:29:09

Asmaa Salah Salem, the Prophet saw them saying that Allah subhana wa

00:29:09 --> 00:29:14

Taala would accept and respond to one of you when he or she would

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

supplicate as long as they are not asking for something that's

00:29:18 --> 00:29:22

unlawful or Something that can result in cutting the tithes of

00:29:22 --> 00:29:27

kinship, and as long as they do not rush, Allah subhanahu wa and

00:29:27 --> 00:29:31

the Companions asked, what is rushing? Ya Rasulullah, he said he

00:29:31 --> 00:29:34

would say, I have asked and asked and asked, and I have not seen a

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

result. So they would abandon their supplication. This is

00:29:38 --> 00:29:43

rushing now ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala responds to the supplication at

00:29:43 --> 00:29:48

the time that he Subhana wa Taala decides is best for that servant.

00:29:49 --> 00:29:57

And as the scholars of Yani Quran say, that dua is a Qadr. It's a

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

destiny from ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala and.

00:30:00 --> 00:30:06

Whatever happens to an individual is a Qadr from Allah subhanahu wa.

00:30:06 --> 00:30:11

Anything that a person might perceive negatively affects them

00:30:12 --> 00:30:17

is a Qadr from Allah subhanahu wa, and on the DUA can stop that Qadr.

00:30:17 --> 00:30:23

So we confront the Qadar of Allah subhanahu wa. With the Qadar of

00:30:23 --> 00:30:27

Allah subhanahu wa, it is Allah subhana wa Taala who authorizes us

00:30:27 --> 00:30:33

and enables us to make this dua to stop any hardship or any calamity

00:30:33 --> 00:30:37

from happening. So that's why dua is a very strong weapon that Allah

00:30:37 --> 00:30:42

subhanahu wa has given to every one of his servants, and not only,

00:30:42 --> 00:30:46

by the way, not only the believers, but even for the non

00:30:46 --> 00:30:50

believers, if they are oppressed. That's why the Prophet sallallahu

00:30:50 --> 00:30:54

alayhi wa sallam says, in the meaning of the Hadith, it taki

00:30:54 --> 00:30:59

dawat al Vadim, be beware of the supplication. Taki dawat al

00:30:59 --> 00:31:03

matlum, I'm sorry. Taki dawat al matlum, beware of the supplication

00:31:03 --> 00:31:08

of the oppressed. For in nahula, Sabha, illu, hijab, there is no

00:31:08 --> 00:31:13

barrier between the supplication of the oppressed and ALLAH SubhanA

00:31:13 --> 00:31:16

wa taala. It reaches Allah subhanahu wa taala without any

00:31:16 --> 00:31:19

impediments, without any obstacles, and Allah subhanahu wa

00:31:19 --> 00:31:26

responds, I will give you support even after some time. So the the

00:31:26 --> 00:31:30

speed of the response of to the supplication, this is only in the

00:31:30 --> 00:31:34

hands of Allah subhanahu wa. We should be patient. We should be

00:31:34 --> 00:31:38

grateful, and we should never cease to have hope in Allah

00:31:38 --> 00:31:44

subhanahu Wang, the beautiful ayat that come in this, in this just

00:31:45 --> 00:31:46

kuliahu Mulk

00:31:48 --> 00:31:52

to team will come into share what ends your mulcami mentorship? What

00:31:52 --> 00:31:57

is zoom and a share what to the illumination vehicle here in

00:31:57 --> 00:32:02

nakali, shahidir, this is a very beautiful ayah, say, declare Allah

00:32:02 --> 00:32:05

subhanahu wa is telling the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa

00:32:05 --> 00:32:12

sallam, and telling us also proclaim allahummall proclaim that

00:32:12 --> 00:32:16

ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala is the king of all the Dominion Subhanallah,

00:32:17 --> 00:32:23

total. Mulk a man Tasha watensia ul Mulk a mementah, you give power

00:32:24 --> 00:32:30

to whomever you want, and you take away power from whomever you want,

00:32:30 --> 00:32:34

whatever is zumante Sheik Watu delumente Sheik, you elevate

00:32:35 --> 00:32:39

whomever you want and you put down and humiliate whomever you want.

00:32:39 --> 00:32:46

So here we find the word, and it's contrary. It's opposite to til

00:32:46 --> 00:32:49

mulk, tension. Mulk to is to dil.

00:32:51 --> 00:32:55

And then Allah subhanahu wa concludes the ayah with biedi kal

00:32:55 --> 00:32:55

khair.

00:32:56 --> 00:33:00

Someone might say, okay, ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala is saying, in

00:33:00 --> 00:33:04

your hands, is the good? What about the evil?

00:33:06 --> 00:33:10

Anything that comes from Allah subhanahu wa is good. Everything

00:33:10 --> 00:33:15

that comes from Allah subhanahu wa is good, even someone might say,

00:33:15 --> 00:33:20

even sickness and illness and pandemics and disasters and

00:33:20 --> 00:33:24

hurricanes and earthquakes and fires and this and that, yes,

00:33:24 --> 00:33:30

everything that comes from Allah subhanahu wa is good. And look at

00:33:30 --> 00:33:32

the Hadith of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam, that

00:33:32 --> 00:33:36

confirms that same meaning. But this applies only to a believer

00:33:36 --> 00:33:41

who would see that wisdom of Allah subhanahu wa and would see the

00:33:41 --> 00:33:44

mercy of Allah subhanahu wa in everything and the power of Allah

00:33:44 --> 00:33:48

subhanahu wa in everything that happens to them. The Messenger,

00:33:48 --> 00:33:50

sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, says, in the meaning of the

00:33:50 --> 00:33:54

Hadith, Ajay Bendi, Amrit mukmin, I'm amazed by the affairs of a

00:33:54 --> 00:33:59

believer in the amrahukullah, everything that happens to a

00:33:59 --> 00:34:02

believer is good in all Saab battle, Sara Shakur,

00:34:04 --> 00:34:09

in Asaba two. Sara Shakur, if they are affected by something good,

00:34:09 --> 00:34:13

they would show gratitude, and they would thank Allah subhanahu

00:34:13 --> 00:34:16

wa and that's good for them. They are gonna be rewarded for them

00:34:16 --> 00:34:19

when ASA Abu ba sabar.

00:34:20 --> 00:34:24

And if they're inflicted by a hardship or a calamity, they would

00:34:24 --> 00:34:25

endure patience

00:34:27 --> 00:34:30

that's also good for them, and they're going to be rewarded for

00:34:30 --> 00:34:35

that as well. So in good or in bad, they're going to be grateful

00:34:35 --> 00:34:39

or patient, and in both cases, they're going to be rewarded for

00:34:39 --> 00:34:44

that. So if someone has a fever, they would feel that, oh, this

00:34:44 --> 00:34:47

fever is bad. No, it's a test from Allah subhanho wa taala. If you

00:34:47 --> 00:34:51

thank Allah subhana wa taala, and if you endure patience, you'll be

00:34:51 --> 00:34:56

rewarded for that, the loss of family, the loss of children, the

00:34:56 --> 00:34:59

loss of wealth, the loss of health. And we have seen.

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

In or we're going to talk later on sha Allah about the story of

00:35:03 --> 00:35:07

Sayyidina, Ayub alayhi wa salatu wa salam. That exemplifies all of

00:35:07 --> 00:35:10

these different meanings when we look at the life of the Prophet

00:35:10 --> 00:35:14

salallahu alayhi wa sallam, the best of all of the creation, the

00:35:14 --> 00:35:19

best creature that Allah subhanahu wa has created. It was not an easy

00:35:19 --> 00:35:24

life the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, within a few days, lost

00:35:25 --> 00:35:28

his uncle that was supporting him and defending him, Abu Talib, and

00:35:28 --> 00:35:32

lost his his wife, his beloved wife, Sayyida, Khadija, RadiAllahu

00:35:32 --> 00:35:37

Anna. Within a few years later, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

00:35:37 --> 00:35:40

sallam lost his uncle, Sayyidina, Hamza, radiallahu anhu, in the

00:35:40 --> 00:35:43

battle of ahud that we're going to talk about tomorrow. Inshallah,

00:35:44 --> 00:35:48

the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam lost all of his children

00:35:48 --> 00:35:51

during his life, with the exception of a Sayyida Fatima or

00:35:51 --> 00:35:56

the Allahu anhu, all of his children, females and males, they

00:35:56 --> 00:36:01

passed away. The males died in their infancy, the females died in

00:36:01 --> 00:36:05

their adulthood, and only a Sayyida Fatima radiAllahu anha

00:36:05 --> 00:36:10

survived the Prophet Sallallahu alasallam, and even she passed

00:36:10 --> 00:36:14

away within less than six months after the Prophet sallallahu

00:36:14 --> 00:36:18

alayhi wa sallam passed away as Sayyida Aisha radiAllahu anha

00:36:18 --> 00:36:22

narrates that, can I am raleel So Mel Hillel to

00:36:26 --> 00:36:31

the new moon would come, and then another new moon, and another new

00:36:31 --> 00:36:35

moon, a third new moon. So three new moons in two months, and there

00:36:35 --> 00:36:40

would know, there would be no fire lit in any of the houses of the

00:36:40 --> 00:36:43

Prophet sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam, which means they wouldn't

00:36:43 --> 00:36:47

cook anything using fire. So someone asked, then, what was your

00:36:47 --> 00:36:51

sustenance? What did you eat for these two months? She said, al

00:36:51 --> 00:36:57

aswaden attam Alma the two black ones, water, and even water at

00:36:57 --> 00:37:01

that time was not clear water and clean water, as we are drinking it

00:37:01 --> 00:37:06

right now. But it was water that is mixed with mud and dust and

00:37:06 --> 00:37:10

other things. So it was not clear

00:37:11 --> 00:37:15

what, what tam this was the other sustenance dates, and that's the

00:37:15 --> 00:37:20

household, or these are the households of the best of the

00:37:20 --> 00:37:23

Creation sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So Allah subhanahu wa is

00:37:23 --> 00:37:30

teaching us that this gratitude and this patience, these two wings

00:37:30 --> 00:37:34

through which a person should always be maintaining their

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

relationship with Allah subhanahu wa

00:37:38 --> 00:37:43

sab between gratitude and patience. We ask Allah subhanahu

00:37:43 --> 00:37:48

wa to grant us the ability to show our gratitude to Allah subhanahu

00:37:48 --> 00:37:53

wa under any condition, and to endure patience when we are tested

00:37:53 --> 00:37:58

with the hardship under any conditions Allah subhanahu wa, and

00:37:58 --> 00:38:01

we're going to conclude with this ayah inshaAllah, Allah subhanahu

00:38:01 --> 00:38:05

wa is taking us to a scene from the Day of Judgment. Kiowa,

00:38:05 --> 00:38:09

method, you do cool. Lunafsimah, I mean that may I mean that

00:38:10 --> 00:38:14

when every soul, when would would come to the Day of Judgment.

00:38:15 --> 00:38:19

WA yaw, Mataji, dukul, lunafsim ma Amira, Min khairin, muhbara, the

00:38:19 --> 00:38:24

good that this soul has done during its life. It's gonna find

00:38:24 --> 00:38:28

it in front of it, wama AMI, that means who tawa Dula and nabaina,

00:38:28 --> 00:38:34

wabay, Nahu, ahmadine and whatever bad it had committed, which is

00:38:34 --> 00:38:39

also gonna see on the Day of Judgment. It would wish any soul,

00:38:39 --> 00:38:44

any individual, would wish that there was a large gap between

00:38:44 --> 00:38:48

myself and the bad deeds that I have committed. So again, Allah

00:38:48 --> 00:38:52

subhanahu wa taala is warning us and saying why you had Dirham

00:38:52 --> 00:38:57

Allahu nefsa, so be on guard. Allah subhana wa Taala is telling

00:38:57 --> 00:39:05

you, prepare for that day. Allah subhanahu wa says Wa Illallah in

00:39:05 --> 00:39:10

masir, these two conclusions of the ayat, where Allah subhana wa

00:39:10 --> 00:39:14

Taala says, why you had Dirham Allahu nefsa, Allah subhana wa

00:39:14 --> 00:39:17

Taala is warning you because you will be returning to Allah

00:39:17 --> 00:39:21

subhanahu wa and at the same time, ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala is giving

00:39:21 --> 00:39:26

us hope in His mercy, subhanAllah Allahu afun belaid, Allah,

00:39:26 --> 00:39:31

Subhanahu wa is compassionate and merciful with his servants. Who

00:39:31 --> 00:39:36

are these servants, the ones again, who would show gratitude in

00:39:36 --> 00:39:41

case of prosperity and would show patience in case of adversity or

00:39:41 --> 00:39:45

calamity, we ask Allah subhanahu wa to make us among those and

00:39:45 --> 00:39:49

inshaAllah tomorrow, if Allah subhanahu wa allows us, we are

00:39:49 --> 00:39:53

going to continue our journey with the Quran. We're going to talk

00:39:53 --> 00:39:58

about the ayat that were revealed primarily in the description of

00:39:58 --> 00:39:59

the events of the Battle of.

00:40:00 --> 00:40:04

And the commandment of Allah subhanahu wa to his servants, to

00:40:04 --> 00:40:09

hold tight, under any conditions, to the robe of Allah subhanahu wa,

00:40:09 --> 00:40:15

and not to go into factions, but to unite and not to divide. So

00:40:15 --> 00:40:19

until tomorrow, Inshallah, Asmaa tolla Yo Barakat a.
