The conversation discusses the history and importance of Islam, including the famous Islam queen's name and the use of bullies in the culture. The narratives of the story involve different narratives, including the use of surahs to prove the legitimacy of the Prophet system and the importance of wealth in one's life. The importance of showing love and being a decent person in public is emphasized, as it is linked to one's life and not just a choice. The book "The book of the beast" is a series of disconnected sentences that do not share the same themes.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:46
			Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh today inshallah we are looking at a very important Surah
Surah Allah hub, which is one of the early sutras to be revealed. It also goes by the name surah
mustard. Now, you might wonder why the sutra of the Quran have more than one name. This is because
the names of the sutras were not revealed. The names of the sutra some of them were decided upon by
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Some of the names of students were decided by the Sahaba and
somebody later scholars, that's why we have sutras with more than one name like Surah Fatiha, which
is also called mu Kitab, or Fatiha to get up or Surah Surah, which is also called surah bonito L.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50
			Likewise, surah Allah, which also has the name surah mustard,
		
00:00:51 --> 00:01:18
			and the name of the surah are normally taken from important words found within the surah. Now this
surah is important because it deals with a very early criminal in the history of Islam, one of the
greatest enemies of Islam, the uncle of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Abu lahab. Now, we
want to take a look at who is Abu lahab Why was he specified and chosen for the surah? And what
lessons can be learned from this?
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:57
			Because Firstly, the first thing we need to realize is that the Quran does not usually mention
names. This is something very rare Allah subhanaw taala mentioned someone by name, it's either
because a person is very great or very evil, in this case, the latter. And if you look at all the
enemies of Islam mentioned in the Quran, the majority of them are not mentioned by name. Allah
subhanaw taala did not mention Walid nimbahera by name when he talks about de Mistura. mudassar is
he does not mention Abu Jihad by name. But when it comes to Abu lahab, we have an entire studio
called Sula surah Allah hub. Right? So if we look at the disbelievers who are mentioned by name in
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:44
			the Quran, we have shaytan. We have Pharaoh, we have Abu lahab, and maybe just one or two others. So
this is a very small group of what we can call the worst of the worst. Abu lahab needed less he was
that bad person. So who was Abu lahab? Why was he regarded as one of the biggest enemies of Islam?
Why would the sutra reveal about him? And what can we learn from the surah and apply to our own
lives? let's first go into the history and the biography of Abu lahab. Abu lahab, was one of the
most famous and wealthiest people of Makkah. He was in fact, in charge of the treasure of Makkah,
the treasury of Makkah, he was in charge of it. He was the uncle of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:49
			meaning he was the brother of Abdullah, the Prophet salallahu the slums father.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:03:33
			His name was Abdul Azhar the was the worshipper of aza, and he gained the nickname Abu lahab, the
father of flames, because he was very good looking. And his wife had the nickname Ahmed Jamil, the
mother of beauty, because she also was good looking. And so they had these nicknames, indicating the
good looks. But, you know, one of the first lessons we learned from you is that good looks don't
mean anything, if you have a bad heart, because I will have with one of the best looking Arab men,
but he's from the worst of the worst of humanity. So you know, we live in a time where people are
obsessed with good looks, we are obsessed with looking our best and how other people think we look.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:04:15
			And it has become a trend even in doubt in our jobs, even in our quarters that we choose to where we
want to look our best. And many, very often we forget about the inside, we forget about making sure
that our hearts are beautiful. We forget about making sure that our character is beautiful, that our
hearts are pure, that we are from those who people love us for our personality and for our good
character and for the way that we love and deal with others. You know, we've become so obsessed with
this external beauty, that it has corrupted our understanding of what's right and wrong. But we see
a Buddha have a perfect example, that external beauty and being handsome doesn't mean anything if
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:52
			the inside of the person is rotten. And so we can take a lesson from that and we can apply to our
lives. Let's stop focusing only on the external and let's start working on purifying our hearts and
becoming from those who Allah subhanaw taala loves. So I will have was a very good looking person.
He would also of course have a very strong lineage being from the Hashimi tribe, the core of the
courage. And he was not only the uncle of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam but he is also the
father in law of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam two daughters, two of his sons we married the two of
the daughters of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			Now, when Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam became a prophet David
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:11
			Those who accepted him. They were those who said, We'll wait and see the widows who rejected. And
then there was a Buddha, who took the strongest stance against him.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:32
			Did even Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam climb to the top of Mount Saba. And he shouted, he
shouted out, and called the people for a warning. And he warned him about the punishment of the
Hellfire, and the importance of worshiping God alone, and believing in the prophets.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:41
			At that point in time, everybody was silent, even those who disbelieved, except for one person, I
wish
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:55
			I would have said that, but the other way your hands perish. Have you brought us here for this? He
mocked Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam. One of the nation's he even threw a stone at him, but that
narration has some weakness in it
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:39
			did not stop there. He became from all the relatives of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam the only one
who would not protect him. Now, even according to the pagan laws of Arabs, at that time, protecting
your relatives was something which you have to do, right, even the disbelievers. It was part of the
way of life. It was part of the culture, that you have to protect your relatives no matter what. And
so when Abu lahab said that he's not going to protect Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam instead, he tried
to harm him. This was looked upon, even in the disbelieving culture as something bad. That's why
even the non Muslims of Makkah, many of them look down upon Abu lahab. And they regard him as
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:55
			somebody who was not worthy of, you know, following because he had gone against even their own
religion and their own culture in his hatred for Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam. A Buddha have had
ordered his sons to divorce the daughters of Rasulullah slowly Islam as a means of,
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:27
			you know, of insulting him and causing further harm to him and his family. And I would have, he had
done so many other things to harm Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that, you know, he was
regarded amongst the primary enemies of Islam. But he was not alone in this his wife also was from
those who had attacked Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam and harmed his wife, known as Omar jameelah,
stated Her name was aura.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:31
			She was also from a very wealthy background.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:08:06
			And, of course, she and her husband were very popular in the city, because they were very good
looking and they had very high status. But once they began to attack Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, a
lot of people turned against him. And a lot of people began to look down upon them. What did she do?
What did they do? Abu lahab and his wife would throw foot in front of the house of Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam whenever he would recite Quran, there was one of the things they used to do, they
still leave dirt in front of his house. Number two, they had ordered their sons to divorce his
daughters.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:53
			Number three when Rasulullah lo Samson, cos he had passed away. And this this year is a bit of
weakness in this narration, but when it's in the rage, that when the proper systems costing, sunk
costs impacts the way Abu lahab would came out of the house happy and dancing now to be loved.
Again, there's a bit of a difference of opinion as to whether that's an authentic narration or not,
but the others are authentic. And Abu lahab and his wife used to do whatever they can to make life
miserable for Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam and so Allah subhana wa tada had revealed a
surah This is sutra was revealed in the very early days of Islam, and this is the surah which we are
		
00:08:53 --> 00:09:12
			going to tackle today. The surah is called Surah mahshid or surah. In the Quran, it is the 111
surah. And it the translation of the surah goes as follows Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem In the name of
Allah, most Gracious, Most Merciful. The ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:44
			Perish the hands of a Buddha hub and indeed he will perish. Ma Hua Hua maka SAP his wealth will not
benefit him, nor did anything that he is not nor will anything that he earned benefit him. So yes,
la de la hub, he will be thrown, he'll be thrown into a fire of Blazing flames. One or two
homological hardtop and his wife, the one who used to carry the wood atones
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:52
			Fiji there have Lumi mosaid will have around the neck, a rope of twisted fiber mustard.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:10:00
			So this is a very strong surah a very strong surah about the punishment
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			In the year after for Abu lahab, and his wife or major Mila,
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:46
			and why was such a strong sutra revealed about them? It was not only because they had attacked
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam and harmed him. But even more so they were his uncle and art, you know,
out of all the people they were the ones who you expected to be a bit more softer to him a bit more
merciful to him, like his other uncle Abu Talib, who was soft and kinda merciful to him despite not
accepting the message of Islam. But Abu lahab he had gone to great extremes to cause harm to Rasul
Allah. So, Allah subhanaw taala revealed the Surah Now there's quite a few interesting things about
this surah The first thing I want to tackle is that this surah confirms the prophethood of
		
00:10:46 --> 00:11:01
			Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam how this surah is telling us that Abu lahab and his wife will
enter the helpfile meaning that they will die as disbelievers. This sutra was revealed a full 10
years before a Buddha have died.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:44
			So all Abdullah have had to do to prove that the Quran is not from God, to prove that the Prophet
system was not a true prophet. If he wanted to prove this, all you had to do was become a Muslim.
And he would have proven to Sula to be false. But he didn't become a Muslim I would not have did not
become a Muslim. for 10 years he had an opportunity to try and prove the Quran to be false. But he
did not why because Allah subhanaw taala knew that Abu lahab will not accept Islam at all, not even
pretending to accept Islam, not even accepting Islam for ulterior motives know Allah subhanho wa
Taala, the creator of the universe and the one who revealed the Quran knew the Abu lahab will remain
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:53
			an arrogant and stubborn disbeliever for the rest of his life. So Allah subhanaw taala revealed the
Surah prophesizing, the Abu lahab will die upon Cooper.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:12:32
			And I will have only died 10 years later, fulfilling the prophecy of the surah. So the surah stands
as evidence for the truthfulness of the message of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam and it is a one of
the prophecies of the Quran which have come true. There are many other prophecies in the Quran which
have come true. This is one of them which were most glaring at that time. It was very glaring to the
Arabs because Abu lahab had 10 years to try and turn this around and prove this prophecy to be
false, but he didn't do so. So this is the first major point from the surah. That these proof of the
prophethood and it's a very good point to bring up in the dour.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:49
			The second thing to look at over here is that when I would have told Rasulullah sallallahu slumped
up but he made your hands perish. Allah subhanaw taala responded with the same words who are be the
hub whatever that may be the hubs hands perish and he will perish.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:13:06
			So Allah subhanaw taala is playing on the words of Abu lahab and hitting him back with the same
curse that he tried to put a rock less knowledge on them. And in this there is another lesson for us
that when you curse someone who is not deserving of that curse, it bounces back at you.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:44
			When you curse someone who is not deserving of that curse when you make do against somebody who is
not deserving of it. It bounces back against you. We should be careful as believers as Muslim we
should always be making dua for people. We should always be thinking, good people, we should always
be trying to ask Allah to guide those who are afraid to forgive those who are sinful, we should make
dua for people not against them. Unfortunately, many of us have this habit of cursing others. Do we
see this specifically today on the internet on Facebook and Twitter and on the forums. When people
get into differences of opinion to debates, the first thing they start doing is cursing each other.
		
00:13:44 --> 00:14:29
			And this is not from Islam. This is not from Islam rather This is the behavior of Abu lahab. So when
we are cursing someone, we need to ask ourselves are we following the Sunnah of Rasulullah slowly
some edition of a Buddha hub. So be careful of curses, curses come back to harm those who cursed the
innocent people. And Allah subhanaw taala emphasized it and he does not just say that Abu lahab will
paraphrase it a Buddha will perish. And indeed, he will he emphasizes, he repeats it. The second
verse gives us a very important lesson. The second verse tells us that my ohana on whom Allah who
his wealth will not benefit him. His wealth will not benefit him. And in this there is a lesson for
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:59
			us. But we need to take one break inshallah. And when we return we will continue with the Tafseer of
surah Allah Allahu Allah rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. We are moving on into verse number two. This is
the surah revealed about Abu lahab the uncle of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was amongst
the greatest enemies of Islam, Allah subhanaw taala revealed a very strong surah condemning him and
his wife to the hellfire. And in this surah Allah Subhana Allah tells us well, ma
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:12
			Humala who Mr. casaba his wealth and his earnings will not benefit him at all. This is not just for
our Buddha, but this is something we all can take benefit from.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:51
			And Firstly, before I go into that the word Kassab know, we mentioned his wealth and earnings. Some
of you might be wondering, what's the difference or the not to the same thing? Well, some of the
scholars have pointed out that gosub over your earnings in this verse refers to his children. So
another, another translation would be that his wealth and his children do not benefit him. So yeah,
again, let's look at the lesson we can take from this. That, you know, again, as I spoke earlier,
one of the things we focus on these days is external beauty. Another thing which we are focused upon
a lot these days is wealth. We live in the rat race, we live in a time where everyone is chasing
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:55
			after the world. And we spoke about this before with subrata Castle.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:16:02
			Hakuna Matata castle, to competition to pile up the things of this world has distracted us
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:44
			to macabre until you visit the graves meaning until you die. And we spoke about it again in silico
as well as in in zanella, Picasa, that by the token of time all of mankind is headed for loss and
destruction, except those who believe and do righteous deeds and help each other upon the truth and
patience. And now we come to the same topic of healing once again in Surah. Allah, Allah subhanaw
taala is telling us that if you are not earning your wealth in a righteous way, and spending your
way in earning your wealth in a hallway and spending it in a hallway and living a life which is
pleasing to Allah, then you can be a millionaire, you can be a multi millionaire, you can be a
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:48
			billionaire, when you die, it's not gonna benefit you in the least.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:17:28
			So why this obey Allah to unweld? Why harm Allah subhana wa tada his religion? Why harm yourself and
the people around you for the sake of wealth? How many times today? Do we do this? How many times
today when we are put to a test, we choose to follow the prophets the PR o fit is instead of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam? How many times today? We have a test where do I take interest?
Or do I stay away from it? We choose the one which seems easier even though we know it is this. It
is this pleasing to Allah subhanho wa Taala simply because we feel it will make us more wealth.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:18:12
			Again, when we do this, then we have forgotten about the fact that Allah subhanho wa Taala is our
reserve. Allah subhanho wa Taala is our reserve. He is the one who provides for everyone, unless you
have a handle that has informed us that whatever, whatever Well, you're meant to have. For the rest
of your life has already been predestined for us. That's something many of us don't really
understand or grasp. Whatever wealth you are meant to have for the rest of your life has already
been predestined for you. All we have to decide is do I get it in a hostile way, going the wrong
way.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:51
			This is the this is the choice we have to make. Am I earning my wealth in either way, you're going
to make the same amount maybe not immediately. Maybe if you choose the Haram route, you get the
bigger amount now and the lesser amount later. But if you choose the halaal route, you get the
smaller amount now to test you to see your sincerity to see your toughness and you're stubborn, and
they don't you get the larger amount. You see, we don't think in these terms, all we see is profits
and money. Also understanding the trauma and Humala hamacas of the money is not going to benefit you
in the afterlife, if it was accompanied with the disobedience of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:19:11
			And neither will children, children, who we look upon after Well, the one thing that people pride
themselves on is their children. And Allah mentioned this multiple times in the Quran, that the word
life of this world has become a competition in wealth and children. People take pride in the
children.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:52
			But Allah hunter warns us in the Quran that on that day, the father will run away from the sun, the
sun will run away from his father, everyone will be worried about themselves. If you did not raise
righteous children, then those children will be a burden against you on the day of judgment because
remember, parenting is a responsibility in Islam. If you raised your children to be unrighteous, if
you do not teach them Islam, if you taught them to disobey Allah, if you taught your children to
mock the hijab, or to mock those who have beards, have you taught your children to mock the people
who go to the masjid five times a day and to call them extremists? If you taught your children all
		
00:19:52 --> 00:20:00
			of these wrong things, they will never the committee since you also receive this and so these type
of children who
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:07
			raised to be an Islamic were raised to be distributed to Allah subhanho wa Taala they will be a
burden on the parents on the Day of Judgment.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:45
			On the other hand, if you taught your children to love and love, and if you taught your children to
love Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam and to love the deen and to pray five times a day, and to have
good character, and to treat people with respect and with mercy and with kindness, and to be a
Muslim in every aspect of their lives, if you taught your children this, they will ever since they
commit or they own they are not against you, and whatever good they do, you will get the reward for
it. So we need to ask ourselves a very important question, how am I raising my children? Am I
raising my children to be in a way which is pleasing to Allah or not? Because either way, on the day
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:45
			of judgment,
		
00:20:47 --> 00:21:27
			I will be accountable for my children. If I'm raising them in the way which is pleasing to Allah,
then this will be in the scale of good deeds on the Day of Judgment. If I'm raising them in a way
which is displeasing to Allah, then this will be on the scale of bad deeds on the Day of Judgment.
So be careful. Be careful what you teach your children, racism, lying, stealing, backbiting,
gossiping, slander, these are traits which you find passed on from generation to generation in the
current era. And these are all things which accumulate on your account of bad deeds on the last day
should be very careful with our children.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:45
			If your children were raised unrighteous Lee like the children of Abu lahab, then they will be
dragging you down on the last day, I will have raised his children to be unrighteous, and he forced
him to divorce the daughters of Rasulullah Islam, and they also face terrible endings.
		
00:21:47 --> 00:22:03
			And they will also he will also be accountable for the essence of the Day of Judgment for being such
a terrible father. And someone and again, in Islam, being a bad father does not mean abusing your
child only being a father also means raising your child in a way which raised them to be disobedient
to Allah.
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:06
			It's interesting to note that
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:25
			he boasted about two things. he boasted about his good looks, and he boasted about his wealth. So in
this verse, Allah subhanaw taala is telling him that his route is not going to benefit him. As for
his good looks, Allah subhanho wa Taala to get away from him towards the end of his life.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:32
			I will have towards the end of his life, what happened to him at the time of the Battle of
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:46
			Abu lahab took the cowardly way out. He refused to fight in the battle the battle against the
Muslims, even though he was amongst those who hated the Muslims the most. rather he sent somebody in
his place.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:54
			And while they were gone, he began to develop a disease of the skin
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:03
			until the color of the color of his skin began to change and get extremely rotten. You can say it
was a very
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:42
			repulsive look developed, he's began to get wounds his face began to get septic. He began to ooze
and do a variety of different narrations about what happened to him. But they all agree upon one
thing that Abu lahab began to look very ugly. Notice that what did he prides himself on? What did
this disbeliever this enemy of Islam, pride himself on his good looks? So how do Allah subhanaw
taala punish him in this world by taking away his good looks, and in that there is a lesson for us
in that there is a lesson for us that if we attach our pride and our
		
00:23:43 --> 00:24:07
			success to anything except Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah can take that away from us. If we feel that
I am successful because I am intelligent. A lot can take you intelligence away. If you feel I am
successful, because I am beautiful. Allah can take your beauty away. If you feel I'm successful,
because I am strong, Allah can take your strength away. I would have felt he was successful because
of his good looks. He's handsome this.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:22
			Allah subhanho wa Taala took that away from him. And he became so ugly, the people abandoned him.
And so when he died, people didn't even know he died. Because he was staying alone in his house. His
family had left him
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:49
			and they left his body in the house for two or three nights. Nobody wanted to touch his dead body
because it was so repulsive. He had such a repulsive state. Nobody even wanted to touch his dead
body. Until someone said that this is disgraceful. How can you leave your father rotting? Go and
bury him. And so the sleeves went ahead and removed the body and they just shoved it in a hole and
buried it outside of Makkah.
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:56
			You see the disgraceful end that he reached in this world even at the hands of his fellow
disbelievers.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00
			I would have committed one
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:40
			have the greatest claims. Two of the greatest claims. Number one, he disbelieved Allah and
worshipped idols. That was surely that is the unforgivable sin. On top of that, he insulted and
harmed and cause physical harm to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and we spoke about this
previously in Surah alcocer, that those who harm Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam will face a
severe punishment in the afterlife. Today we have so many enemies of Islam posting articles on the
internet, attacking Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam calling him names attacking his marriages.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:26:01
			If these people do not repent, and if they die with this hatred and this evil are on their chests,
then they too will face such evil ends. And we as Muslims need to be careful. We need to be careful
that our character, our words, our deeds, are all in keeping with respect to Islam.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:21
			Why do I say this? Because many times we claim to love Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, yet we insult
the beard. If Rasulullah slogan was in front of us would we have insulted his beard? We claim to
love Rasulullah Islam but we insult the hijab. If the wilds of Rasulullah sallallahu somebody in
front of us would be insulted to heat up.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:54
			Understand that when we are attacking aspects of Islam. We are attacking Rasulullah slowly from
himself. So you can claim to love him all we want. But if you're attacking his religion, if you're
mocking his religion, that's not love. That's not real love. Allah subhana wa tada cintura Arlene
Runkle in contempt, a boon Allah for Toby oni yapi como la, si tu mo Muhammad, that if you truly
love Allah didn't Follow me Follow the lifestyle it shouldn't have Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam and
then Allah will now you
		
00:26:56 --> 00:27:37
			see, this verse is teaching us a few things. Number one he teaching us it's not enough to claim to
love Allah and His messenger to love Islam, but you need to earn the love as well. We need to earn
the love of Allah subhanho wa Taala and the righteous people. And this is only true being righteous.
And he's teaching us these conditions attached to this love. It doesn't just come from those who say
Oh, I love Rasulullah mo I love Allah. Everyone gets it I love, show it in your actions, live the
lifestyle which he has chosen for us to live, follow in his footsteps be good Muslims. This is how
we show our love than any other form of showing our love become superficial if we are not doing
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:38
			this.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:28:04
			So this is a Buddha, but the story is not over and the Tafseer is not over because we still have a
few verses to go. Verse number three. Allah subhanho wa Taala says that he will throw him into a
fire. But look at how Allah Subhana Allah describes the fire. Allah subhanaw taala says, say yes la
runza de la, he will throw him in a fire of Blazing flames.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			Know that Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:16
			uses the word la hub to describe the Hellfire in the surah This is the only time in the Quran where
Allah uses this word to describe
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:18
			the hellfire. Why?
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:34
			In a way, he is showing a Buddha hub the irony of his name. Abu lahab was known as Abu lahab, the
father of flames, because he was good looking in the afterlife, he will be in the hub in the flames.
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:43
			So this is really alert one to shooting a Buddha hub, the irony of his name that you will be from
the people of the flames.
		
00:28:45 --> 00:29:10
			Now this verse of the Quran is again the prophecy that I was speaking about earlier. Allah subhanaw
taala is prophesizing. In this verse, the Abu lahab will die arrogant disbelief that he will never
convert to Islam. Abdullah have only died 10 years later, you get 10 years to become a Muslim, and
then claim that the Quran was wrong.
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:31
			That the Quran had made a mistake, but he didn't. Why? Because this is all from Allah knowledge.
Allah already knew that he would do that Allah already knew that he was so arrogant that he would
never claim to be a Muslim. And so he died and he will be feanor in that Allah hub in a fire of
placing claims.
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:36
			sutra in the last two verses shifts.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:50
			It shifts away from discussing a Buddha help and he says one more Otto and his wife. He's not only a
Buddha Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, his wife Ahmed Jamil,
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:57
			she also used to harm him. She also used to cause
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			pain to him and his family.
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:15
			So Allah subhanaw taala talks about he says to her mother to his wife who used to carry the
firewood. Like this was something that she used to do she to carry firewood in the early days. He
said as for his wife,
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:41
			VG, the gloomy muscle around her neck will be a rope of twisted fiber in the hellfire. Now in your
day is a very, very important lesson for us. Allah subhanaw taala speaks about the punishment of Abu
lahab separate from the punishment of his wife, because in Islam, the wife is not an extension of
the husband. Rather they are both responsible for their own deeds.
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:55
			In another part of the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala curses, fear own as being amongst the worst
disbelievers of all time, but praises your own wife arsia for being amongst the greatest believers
of all time.
		
00:30:56 --> 00:31:03
			Likewise, Allah subhanho wa Taala praises loot Elisa Lam and new Elisa, but mentions their wives in
a negative light.
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:22
			Why? All of this is showing us something all of this is teaching us a lesson that you cannot go to
Paradise just because your husband is pious or your wife is pious or your father is pious or your
mother is pious or your children are pious. No going to paradise and * is determined by our own
deeds.
		
00:31:24 --> 00:32:05
			Our CEO was amongst the most righteous of woman. Her husband was amongst the worst of men a lot to
get me into account separately, and she is from the people of Paradise, and he is from the people of
hellfire. When it comes to Abu lahab he and his wife were both from the worst of people. And so they
both will be in the hellfire. So Allah subhanaw taala discusses the punishment of both of them
separate separately, wanting us that we are all individually accountable for our deeds. Do not think
that just because I am married to someone pious, I am going to paradise No. On the day of judgment,
the husband and wife will run away from each other. Each will be standing before Allah accounting
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:12
			for their own deeds. So this is something which we need to think about. And something that we need
to keep in mind.
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:28
			Another one of the sins or major crimes of Abu lahab and his wife was that according to some of the
narrations they had, they were the ones who made up the derogatory nickname for Rasulullah
sallallahu wasallam.
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:44
			We know that Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam his name was Muhammad. Muhammad means the most praised the
one who is praised a lot. But when he became a prophet, his uncle and art Abu lahab, Ahmed Jamil
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:51
			they began to call him was among the one who is disgraced a lot.
		
00:32:52 --> 00:33:34
			This was what they began to call him. And this was of course, very hurtful. And this was something
very disrespectful to Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam and so this is why the two of them were singled
out by the Quran. So again, yo we get to get another lesson. But first we need to go for one last
break when we return, we will take our final lesson and conclude the Tafseer of surah hub
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh we had one last lesson to take from Surah lahab and that
is the evil of giving people bad nicknames. And this is something which allowed to be handled as
speaks about in another suit of the Quran as well. Surah hoogenraad and inshallah one day in the
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:48
			future, I hope that we can do a detailed Tafseer of Surah hoogenraad because it is amongst the most
important sutras in the Quran for us today because it deals with our luck with our character. And in
verse number
		
00:33:50 --> 00:34:04
			11 of Surah hoogenraad Allah Subhana Allah says, Yeah, you halogen Amanullah yes for comin comin
atcha yagoona roaming home, whether nissa nissa yagoona Hiram in hoonah
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:18
			Oh, you will believe no group of people should look down upon or judge or mock another group of
people because they might be better than you. And no group of women should look down upon or mock
another group of women because they might be better than you.
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:23
			Tell me you and Pooja calm and do not
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:55
			and do not find faults in each other do not look for faults in each other. Whether the boss will be
a cop and do not call each other by offensive nicknames. The SL is small for Mr. Howe evil is a how
evil it is to give someone who has a bad nickname or mala Mia to bola Komodo ever does not repent
from doing so. is indeed and just very powerful verse in Surah hoogenraad verse number 11
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:59
			and we just need to very briefly explain the pick up
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:27
			Have nicknames in Islam. There is nothing wrong in Islam or giving person a person a good nickname,
which they love. So, for example, Rasulullah sallallahu, some so called Ayesha iosh is called an H
and used to call Humira, the one with rosy cheeks. These are good nicknames, which she loved, and so
there was nothing wrong with it. Likewise, Abdullah homogenous soccer was given the nickname Abu
huraira, the father of a kitten, because he had a pet kitten.
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:34
			So there's nothing wrong with these type of nicknames. So we need to understand the difference.
There's nothing wrong with
