00:00:12 --> 00:00:14 
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for him to
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16 
			take an oath by something.
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20 
			This shows the importance of it. Allah subhanahu
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21 
			wa ta'ala telling you something.
00:00:22 --> 00:00:22 
			It
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25 
			is how Allah said it. Allah subhanahu wa
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27 
			ta'ala doesn't need to prove anything to you.
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30 
			Does Allah need to prove when somebody swears
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32 
			normally when they're speaking, it is because they
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34 
			need to prove their position and their point.
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36 
			If the people are going to believe what
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38 
			I say, I shouldn't need to take an
00:00:38 --> 00:00:38 
			oath by anything.
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40 
			But if I'm going to swear and take
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42 
			an oath and make myself
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45 
			clear, it is because perhaps the people won't
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47 
			accept what I have to say. So Allah
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49 
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is not saying this because
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51 
			we won't believe him. But Allah Jallahu Wa
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53 
			Ta'ala is saying this to give importance to
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54 
			this.
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55 
			And Allah
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58 
			He swears in the Quran by the things
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01 
			that not only have importance but mankind are
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02 
			negligent towards.
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05 
			Allah in the Quran, a surah that you
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07 
			have all memorized, He swears by time.
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11 
			And the mufasilians say, It was zamani
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14 
			by time. It's not salatul asr. Like wal
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16 
			fajr here, it's not salatul fajr as well.
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17 
			It is a time period.
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22 
			Allah is swearing by time. Why? Not only
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24 
			is it important but we are negligent of
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25 
			it.
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28 
			We waste our time, a lot of us.
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30 
			We're killing time. What motive should we do
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33 
			today? Where should we go? Let's go here.
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35 
			Let's go there. What have you done? You
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36 
			haven't done anything.
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38 
			So because you are wasting your time, and
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41 
			you are the ummah that has the shortest
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43 
			lifespan. You know that, right?
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44 
			The they
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46 
			had very long lifespans.
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49 
			We have the shortest lifespan.
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50 
			So you have a shorter lifespan as it
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52 
			is, and you are wasting it. So Allah
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54 
			he swears by it. I like that he
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56 
			swears by other things in the Quran as
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57 
			well.
