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.
