00:00:01 --> 00:00:02
			In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			the Most Merciful.
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			All praise is due to Allah, Lord of
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:06
			the worlds.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
			May the peace and blessings of Allah be
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			upon the best of Allah's creation.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			And upon his family, his companions, and those
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			who are guided by his guidance, and who
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			await his Sunnah until the Day of Judgment.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			O Allah, teach us what will benefit us,
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			and benefit us with what You have taught
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			us, and increase us in knowledge, and show
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			us the truth as it is, and grant
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			us to follow it.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			And show us falsehood as falsehood, and grant
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:31
			us to avoid it.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			And make us of those who listen to
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			speech, and follow it.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			And after this, may the peace and blessings
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			of Allah be upon you.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			We continue on with the parables of the
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:45
			Qur'an.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:53
			And we've reached the 19th parable in the
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			Qur'an.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:00
			And this brings us to Surah Yunus.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			Surah Yunus.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:14
			Here in Surah Yunus, we have Allah Subhanahu
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:19
			Wa Ta'ala gives us the parable of
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			Al Hayat Al Dunya.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			The life of this world, the reality of
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			the life of this world.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			And this is actually one of three parables
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			that Allah gives in the Qur'an.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			And this is the first.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			In the Qur'an, Allah gives us three
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			parables of the reality of the life of
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:42
			this world.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:43
			And this is the first.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			And so Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala first
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			starts by addressing the Mushrikun.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:58
			And telling us how whenever these people go
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:04
			out to sea, they're traveling at sea.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:10
			And if they're hit by a storm, and
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			they fear that they're about to drown, what
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			do they do?
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			Immediately, they turn to Allah.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			Sincerely.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			They turn to Allah for help.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			And in this particular ayah in Surah Yunus,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:32
			Allah says that they ask Allah, Oh Allah,
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:36
			if you save us, we will be grateful
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:36
			to you.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:51
			And then Allah tells us, And
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			then when we rescue them, we save them,
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			what do they do?
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			Do they only worship Allah?
		
00:02:59 --> 00:02:59
			Allah tells us, no.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			They transgress.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:07
			When they reach land, they go back to
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			their idol worship.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			And they forget about Allah.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:20
			Allah says, Oh mankind,
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:26
			your transgression, it is only against your own
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			selves.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			What you're doing is only going to harm
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			your own selves.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			And then Allah tells us about the dunya.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:40
			You know, this brief, this enjoyment in the
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			dunya, it's brief.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			It's temporary.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			Then to us you will return, and we
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			will inform you of everything that you used
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:53
			to do.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:57
			So the message here, the message here is,
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:04
			Allah is telling them that, look, you worshipping
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:09
			others besides Allah, it doesn't harm Allah.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			It's only harming yourselves.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			And that this dunya is short.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20
			And after it's over, you're going to return
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:20
			to Allah.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			So that's the message here.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:28
			Then right after that, right after that, in
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:33
			the next ayah, Allah gives a parable describing
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			how short this dunya is.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			Describing how short this life is.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			So all of this was an introduction.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			All of this was an introduction.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:51
			These two or three ayat to this parable.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			So what is the parable?
		
00:04:55 --> 00:05:01
			Allah says, إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَا إِنْ
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:06
			أَنزَلْنَاهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهِ نَبَاتُ الْأَرْضِ مِمَّا
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:12
			يَأْكُلُ النَّاسُ وَالْأَنْعَامُ The life of this world
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:18
			is just like rain that we send down
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:23
			from the sky, producing a mixture of plants
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:27
			which both humans and animals eat from.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:36
			حَتَّى إِذَا أَخَذَتِ الْأَرْضُ زُخْرُفَهَا وَزَيَّنَتْ وَظَنَّ أَهْلُهَا
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:42
			أَنَّهُمْ قَادِرُونَ عَلَيْهَا أَتَاهَا أَمْرُنَا لَيْلًا أَوْ نَهَارًا
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:50
			فَجَعَلْنَاهَا حَصِيدًا كَأَنْ لَمْ تَغْنَ بِالْأَمْسِ Then, just
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:56
			when the earth looks its best, perfectly beautified,
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			and its people think that they have full
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:04
			control over it, at that particular moment, the
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			command of Allah comes by night or by
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:10
			day, and then we mow it down as
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			if it never flourished the day before.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:16
			We destroy it as if it never existed
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:16
			the day before.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:22
			كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ This is how
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			we make the signs clear for a people
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:25
			to reflect.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:33
			So here, Allah compares the life of the
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			dunya to what?
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			What does He compare it to?
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:48
			To the earth when it's full of lush
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			and it's full of greenery, right?
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:59
			And so, imagine the earth outside, you don't
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			see any greenery today, right?
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:06
			But wait till the winter season finishes, and
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			then the rain starts coming in the spring,
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:09
			right?
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			What do we notice?
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:15
			We notice that this same earth, the trees
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:19
			that have no leaves, the plants that are
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
			dead, all of a sudden they start to
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			come to life, right?
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:30
			Now imagine a farmer, he has a farm,
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:35
			he waits for the spring to plant, and
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:40
			then it starts growing, the vegetation starts coming
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:40
			out.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:47
			Until it all becomes green, full of life,
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:50
			right?
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			Producing all kinds of vegetation.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			To the point where the farmer thinks he's
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			done it, he has it all.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:06
			Very soon, I'm gonna be collecting all the
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09
			harvest, right?
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			When he thinks he has full control, at
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			that point, Allah's command comes.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			It was a decree of Allah that Allah
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			will destroy this farm, for example.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:26
			And so, as Allah says in this ayah,
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			by day or by night.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:36
			And so suddenly, in a matter of a
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:41
			few moments, this man, this farmer, he has
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			nothing in his hands.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			Likewise is the dunya.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			Likewise is this life of ours.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			Which we are deceived by its glitter and
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:59
			its glamour and its beauty, thinking that, you
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			know what, this is the ultimate enjoyment.
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:08
			As they say, what do the kuffar say,
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:12
			you have one life to live, so live
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:12
			it.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			Enjoy it.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:14
			Right?
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:22
			But little do we realize, little do we
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:26
			realize that, number one, it's a short life.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:30
			And number two, it could be even shorter
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			if Allah wills.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			Right?
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:39
			None of us knows when Allah will take
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			away our souls.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:42
			Right?
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			If Allah decrees, He can take us when
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			we're young.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:48
			Right?
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:53
			The point is that life is short, and
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			death can come at any time.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:01
			And this is similar to this particular parable
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:05
			of, you know, vegetation and a garden and
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			a farmer thinking he has full control.
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10
			This is similar to an actual story that
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:10
			Allah tells us.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			Surah Al-Kahf?
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:17
			Yes, there is that, but I was thinking
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:18
			of another story.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			Yes, Surah Al-Qalam.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:22
			Ashab Al-Jannah.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			Ashab Al-Jannah.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			You know, Allah tells us that there were
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			three brothers who had a farm.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:40
			And, you know, they were greedy.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			It was the night before the harvest.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			They said, in the morning, we're going to
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			go and we're going to collect our harvest
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			and we're going to sell it, we're going
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:51
			to be rich.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:58
			And they said, let's go out slowly, secretly,
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			so that the poor don't come.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			We don't want to give them anything.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			Right?
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:16
			And so Allah tells us, That
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:22
			same night, Allah sent, you know, a storm
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			that wiped out everything.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:27
			It was reduced to ashes.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:29
			Right?
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			And so here Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:37
			is basically waking us up to reality and
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:41
			telling us that this worldly life of ours
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			is temporary.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46
			And one day, it's not just going to
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
			come to an end, but it's going to
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			come to a sudden end.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:53
			It's going to come to a sudden end.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:12:02
			You know, how many people die while expecting
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			to die?
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			Not that many.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			Right?
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			Not that many.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:14
			Most people, they die while least expecting it.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			While not being prepared for it.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			And so what we thought we had full
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:25
			control over, our lives, what we thought we
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:29
			had full control over, it can vanish in
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			a split second when the command of Allah
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			comes.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			And then there's no return.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:37
			Right?
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			The angel of death, he doesn't come with
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			an appointment.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			Right?
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46
			The angel of death comes without an appointment.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:55
			And we can even, you know, compare this
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:59
			to our civilization as it is today.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01
			Right?
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:07
			Where many people think that we've reached a
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			point in human civilization where we have full
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13
			control over our lives.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			We have full control over everything.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:17
			Right?
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			You know, look at our lives and how
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:26
			our lives are controlled with this technology that
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			we have invented.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:29
			And so we think we have full control
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			over everything.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			But then, look at how Allah teaches us
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			a lesson every now and then.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			Right?
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:41
			To show us that we are not in
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			control of our lives, but rather Allah is.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			Just look at, you know, a couple of
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			years ago, COVID.
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			You know, it was a lesson.
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			Allah was teaching us a lesson.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			That you think you have full control over
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:55
			everything.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			You have full control over your lives.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:03
			And this small, small, you know, virus.
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:08
			You know, you had no way of controlling
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:09
			it.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
			Right?
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:13
			You had no way of controlling it.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:19
			And, you know, all kinds of calamities that
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:22
			Allah sends to teach us a lesson.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:23
			Right?
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			That no matter how much we prepare, no
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:32
			matter how much precautions we take to protect
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			ourselves and society in general.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:35
			Right?
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:39
			In just a few moments, everything can come
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:39
			crashing down.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:42
			You know, look at the stock market.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			Look at the financial world.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			They think they have full control over everything.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:50
			You know, in just one day, there could
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			be a crash in the economy, and that's
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:52
			it.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:53
			It's over.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			Even with all the precautions that they take.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			Look at these wildfires.
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:01
			Right?
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			I mean, look at how it wiped out
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			an entire neighborhood.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:14
			While they thought that they have full control,
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			and they could easily put it out.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			But they have no control.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			You know, Allah is teaching us a lesson.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:22
			That He is in control.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			Right?
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			So just like Allah tells us in this
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			ayah.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:28
			Right?
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
			When they think they have full control.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:34
			Right?
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			At that point, Allah sends His command.
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			When you think you have full control.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			And you forget about Allah, and you forget
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:43
			about the Akhirah.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:46
			And you live your life thinking that you
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47
			have full control of your life.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			And you're going to live forever.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:54
			You've taken care of everything.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:55
			You've taken care of your finances.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:57
			You've taken care of your car.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:15:59
			You've taken care of your health.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:01
			Everything is in order.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:04
			Right?
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:09
			At that moment, you know, Allah sends His
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			decree.
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:15
			And so, this is the first parable.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			Mentioning the life of this world.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			We're going to come across two more insha
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			'Allah later on in the Qur'an.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:27
			Among the lessons that we learn from this
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			parable is number one.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:35
			That the nature of the dunya is that
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			it disappears quickly.
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:41
			And that its pleasures are temporary.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:46
			Its pleasures are temporary.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			And so, this should serve as a reminder
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:56
			for any sane person to never become deluded
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			by the dunya.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:05
			But unfortunately, the vast majority of people are
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			deluded by the dunya.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:08
			As Allah says in the Qur'an.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:15
			وَغَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَةُ The life of the world
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:15
			has deluded them.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			Has deceived them.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:24
			The life of the dunya, with its beauty,
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:27
			its adornment, has deceived them.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			In the sense that they think that this
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			is the ultimate enjoyment.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:36
			And that's why they live the way they
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:36
			do.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			That's why they live the way they do.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			Because they don't think there's going to be
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			another enjoyment after this.
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:47
			They think this is the ultimate enjoyment.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:54
			And that's the difference between the mu'min and
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:54
			the kafir.
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:56
			Right?
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:01
			The true believer, he knows that this is
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			not the ultimate enjoyment.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			He knows that there's going to be a
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:07
			better enjoyment after this life.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			Right?
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:13
			And he knows that that enjoyment is far
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:17
			superior, far better, and far everlasting.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:28
			But now this believer, his iman, the iman
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:31
			of the believers, it differs.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
			So although he believes, his iman may be
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			weak, or his iman may be strong.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:44
			Depending on where your iman is, depending on
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:49
			that, you are going to forget about this
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			reality.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53
			And you're going to indulge in the dunya.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:01
			And so the stronger your iman is, the
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:04
			less deluded you're going to become, or the
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			less the dunya is going to deceive you
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:06
			and delude you.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:12
			But the stronger your iman is, the easier
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:14
			it's going to be for you to not
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			become deceived by the dunya.
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:26
			As the Prophet ﷺ, we see from his
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:34
			life, how he could have had everything, but
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:37
			he chose not to.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			We're not talking about in the beginning, when
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			he was persecuted, when the Muslims were persecuted,
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:43
			but we're talking about later on.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:48
			After having been victorious over his enemies, and
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:55
			having all of Arabia in his hands, he
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56
			could have lived like a king if he
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:57
			wanted to.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			But he didn't.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:05
			He chose not to, because he knows the
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:05
			value of the dunya.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			He knew the value of the dunya.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:15
			And how it's short, it's temporary, this enjoyment,
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			whatever I enjoy of it, it's worthless.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			It is worthless.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:26
			Number two, the dunya is something that will
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:29
			either leave you, or you will leave it.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:35
			The dunya is something that will either leave
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:38
			you, or you will leave it.
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:40
			What does that mean?
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			What's the difference between the two?
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			Yes.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:06
			This relationship between us and the dunya, it's
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:09
			a relationship that's going to end, eventually, with
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:10
			divorce.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:11
			Okay?
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:17
			So, don't become attached to it with your
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:17
			heart.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:19
			Right?
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:22
			If you knew that there was a woman
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:25
			that you're married to, but eventually you're going
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:29
			to part ways from her, you wouldn't love
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:29
			her that much, would you?
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:31
			Right?
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			So likewise with the dunya.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:35
			Right?
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:39
			This relationship, it's going to end.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			Either she's going to end it, or you're
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:46
			going to end it.
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:47
			Right?
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:55
			So, the dunya, either it's in your hands
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			today, and tomorrow it's all gone.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:01
			Right?
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			How many people have we seen in this
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
			world?
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			They had the dunya in their hands, but
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			it was all gone from their hands.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:13
			Like Allah tells us of Qarun.
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:14
			Right?
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17
			The richest man in that time.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:23
			And every generation has a Qarun.
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:24
			Right?
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:27
			How many rich people have we seen?
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			They had everything of the dunya, and today
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			they're on the streets, they have nothing.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			The dunya left their hands.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:39
			So either it leaves your hands, or you
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:40
			are going to leave the dunya.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:42
			Right?
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43
			You are going to leave the dunya.
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:49
			And either of these can happen at any
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:49
			time.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:54
			Either of these can happen at any time.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:59
			So the intelligent one never attaches himself to
		
00:22:59 --> 00:22:59
			the dunya.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:04
			The intelligent one does not attach himself to
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:04
			the dunya.
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			He doesn't rely on it.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:07
			Right?
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			He attaches his heart to Allah.
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:13
			He puts his reliance in Allah.
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:15
			Not in the dunya that he has.
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:18
			Right?
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:19
			Attach your heart with Allah.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:23
			Not with this material dunya that is in
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:24
			your hands.
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:26
			Number three.
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:33
			Prepare for your Akhirah from today.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:38
			Because death can come at any time, as
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			we have seen from this parable.
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			None of us knows when we're going to
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:44
			die.
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:49
			So don't delay for a day that may
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:50
			never come.
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:54
			Do not delay for a day that may
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:54
			never come.
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:59
			A lot of us, we delay, we procrastinate.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03
			We say, I'll do it tomorrow, I'll do
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:03
			it next week.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:07
			Tomorrow comes, you don't do it.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			Next week comes, you don't do it.
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:12
			Next year, you keep on delaying.
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:14
			You say, oh when I get old, I'll
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15
			repent to Allah.
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:17
			I'll change my life around.
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:20
			But will that day come?
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			What guarantee do you have that you'll live
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:23
			to see that day?
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:26
			And that's why Allah says in the very
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:29
			next ayah, after this parable, what does Allah
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:29
			say?
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			After Allah gives us the parable of the
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:49
			dunya, He says, and Allah invites all of
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:54
			you to Dar al-Salam, the home of
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			peace, which is Jannah.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			And He guides whomever He wills to the
		
00:24:59 --> 00:24:59
			straight path.
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:05
			So Dar al-Salam, Allah refers to Jannah
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:08
			as the place of peace.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			It is the place where you won't have
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:12
			to worry about anything.
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:17
			Nothing to fear, nothing to grieve, nothing to
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:18
			be concerned about.
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			Complete peace and serenity.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:24
			Right?
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:28
			As if Allah is saying, the dunya is
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:33
			filled with depression and stress and anxiety.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:36
			And Allah is inviting you to a place
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:37
			that has none of that.
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:42
			So don't become attached to this dunya that
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:44
			is short, that is temporary, and that has
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:45
			all of these problems.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:51
			But rather, attach your heart to the akhirah.
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			And start preparing for it from today.
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:59
			Start preparing for it from today with no
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:00
			delay.
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			Alright, we move on to the next parable.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:14
			And this is the second parable that Allah
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:19
			gives us comparing the believers with the disbelievers.
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:29
			The first parable was in Surah Al-An
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:29
			'am, right?
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:37
			Surah Al-An'am, Allah compares the believers
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:43
			to those who have life and light.
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:48
			And the kafir, who has darkness, who is
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:50
			wandering in darkness, never to come out from
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:50
			it.
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:57
			Here, in the next surah, Surah Hud, Allah
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			gives us another comparison.
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:03
			Now, what do you think this comparison is?
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:07
			Based on the picture.
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:19
			So, the believer is?
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:23
			Okay, and the disbeliever?
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28
			He does not listen and he does not?
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:29
			No?
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			Si, right?
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:33
			Alright.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:40
			First of all, let's go through the ayat
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:41
			before the parable.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:48
			Allah mentions the kuffar and how they're going
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:49
			to be punished in the akhirah.
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:52
			And then He mentions one of their descriptions.
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:56
			This is in Surah Hud, verse 20, Allah
		
00:27:56 --> 00:28:01
			says, مَا كَانُوا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ السَّمْعَ وَمَا كَانُوا يُبْسِدُونَ
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:06
			The disbelievers, they fail to hear or to
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08
			see, meaning the truth.
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:12
			They fail to hear it and see it.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:17
			Then, a few verses later, Allah mentions the
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:18
			believers.
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:21
			And He describes them.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:23
			And this is verse 21 now.
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:28
			Allah describes the believers.
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:36
			إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَأَخْبَتُوا إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:39
			Those who believed and did righteous good deeds
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:41
			and they humbled themselves to their Lord.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:48
			Then, after that, Allah mentions the following comparison
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:51
			between the two camps.
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:56
			Comparing the two camps of believers and disbelievers.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:29:06
			Verse 24, Allah says, مَثَالُ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ كَالْأَعْمَى وَالْأَصَمِّ
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:16
			وَالْبَصِيرِ وَالسَّمِيرِ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَالَةً فَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ Allah
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:20
			says, the example of the two parties, of
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:24
			the believers and disbelievers, is like the blind
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:27
			and the deaf and the seeing and the
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:27
			hearing.
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:32
			And then Allah asks a question, Are they
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:33
			equal in comparison?
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			This is a rhetorical question.
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:41
			The answer is, no.
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:44
			So then Allah says, then will you not
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:44
			take heed?
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:49
			أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ If they're not equal, then why
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:50
			don't you take heed?
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:53
			Why don't you understand?
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:58
			And so here, Allah compares, first of all,
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:02
			the first comparison is the kuffar.
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:08
			Allah compares the disbeliever to one who is
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:09
			blind and deaf.
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:16
			So the disbelievers are described like this because
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:20
			their eyes and their hearts are blinded from
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:20
			seeing the truth.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:25
			And their ears are deaf from hearing it.
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:31
			Just like a blind and a deaf person.
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:33
			How does he live his life?
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:40
			Wherever he goes, he's lost and confused.
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:43
			Not knowing where to go.
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:47
			If he's on his own, and he doesn't
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:48
			have anyone to help him.
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:53
			So wherever he goes, he's lost, he's confused.
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:55
			He'll go and walk into a wall, he'll
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:56
			trip over a stone.
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:03
			No matter how much people are talking to
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:04
			him, he doesn't hear anything.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:06
			No matter how much people are trying to
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:11
			guide him, he's not guided.
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:16
			Likewise, the kuffar.
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:21
			They are wandering around, lost in confusion.
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:24
			No matter how much you try to help
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:26
			them, it doesn't work.
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:32
			Here we're talking about the kuffar who have
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:33
			chosen this path.
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:37
			Here we're talking about the kuffar who have
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:40
			chosen this path of rejection of the truth.
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:45
			No matter how much you try to guide
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:47
			them, it's worthless.
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:48
			Why?
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:52
			Because they are just like a deaf and
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:52
			blind person.
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:58
			On the other hand, the believers, Allah compares
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:03
			them to someone who sees and hears perfectly.
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:06
			Why did Allah describe them as such?
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:12
			Because they see with their eyes and their
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:14
			hearts the truth.
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:19
			And their ears, they hear the truth and
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:20
			they accept it.
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:25
			Just like one who sees perfectly with his
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:31
			eyes and hears perfectly with his ears, without
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:36
			any defect in his sight or in his
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:36
			hearing.
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:44
			And so, if you have two people in
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:46
			front of you, one who is deaf and
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:49
			blind, and another one who sees perfectly and
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:52
			hears perfectly, Allah is asking a question.
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:56
			هل يستويان مثل؟
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:57
			Are they equal?
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:59
			Is this comparison?
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:01
			Are they equal?
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:04
			Obviously not.
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:09
			So likewise, a kafir and a mu'min, a
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:10
			Muslim, are not equal.
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:15
			Allah is saying they're not equal.
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:17
			In the sight of Allah, they're not equal.
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:24
			Unlike people today who want to make the
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:25
			two equal.
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:31
			How many people do we hear today calling
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:35
			for religious pluralism?
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:39
			Not all religions are okay.
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:42
			Religions come to divide us.
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:48
			And there's no one religion superior to another.
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:52
			And we should all peacefully co-exist.
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:56
			And no one should think that their way
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:56
			is better.
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:00
			All of these are paths.
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:03
			All of these are, what do they say?
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:07
			All of these are different lanes of the
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:09
			same highway leading to the same destination.
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:11
			Right?
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:14
			And this is not the only place in
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:16
			the Quran where Allah clarifies this.
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:21
			In numerous different places in the Quran, Allah
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:22
			has made this clear distinction.
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:25
			Clear distinction.
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:28
			Saying that two camps are not equal.
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:31
			So don't think they're equal.
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:34
			Not in this dunya nor in the akhirah.
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:36
			Right?
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:45
			أَفَنَجَعَلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَالْمُجْرِيمِينَ Should we make the Muslims
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:46
			like the criminals, meaning the kuffar?
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:48
			Should we make them equal?
		
00:34:52 --> 00:35:01
			لَا يَسْتَوِي أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ وَأَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ Right?
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:09
			أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ Allah says the people
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:11
			of Jannah and the people of the Hellfire
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:12
			are not equal.
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:13
			They're not the same.
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:18
			And then Allah mentions what's the difference between
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:19
			the two?
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:21
			The people of Jannah are victorious.
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:22
			They have won.
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:25
			So that means the people of the Hellfire
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:26
			have lost.
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:28
			Right?
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:31
			In the end there are winners and losers.
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:34
			You can't say that the winners and the
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:35
			losers are equal.
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:42
			In no competition in this dunya, in no
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:48
			competition where there's a competition, no such competition
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:51
			exists where everyone's a winner.
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:54
			Right?
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:55
			Does that exist?
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:56
			It doesn't exist.
		
00:35:58 --> 00:35:58
			Right?
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:04
			Wherever there's competition, there are those who worked
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:08
			for it and strove hard and won.
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:10
			So there are winners and losers.
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:13
			And when you have winners and losers, you
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:15
			cannot say that they're equal.
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:17
			Right?
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:19
			It just doesn't work that way.
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:26
			So likewise, the kuffar and the Muslims are
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:27
			not equal.
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:30
			And this is something we need to ingrain
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:33
			in our minds and we need to teach
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:34
			our children.
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:37
			That no matter what they tell you about
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:45
			religious pluralism, about everyone has the freedom to
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:48
			choose, and no one has any right to
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:52
			object saying that your religion is wrong and
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:53
			that you're going to the Hellfire.
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:57
			No, we should be accepting of the other.
		
00:36:58 --> 00:36:59
			No, it doesn't work that way.
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:01
			Because if you say that, then you're saying
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:02
			that they're equal.
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:05
			And Allah is saying that they're not equal.
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:07
			As simple as that.
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:08
			Alright.
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:11
			So this is the comparison that Allah makes.
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:13
			Right?
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:16
			And this is not the only place in
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:16
			the Qur'an.
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:20
			We're going to come later on, I believe
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:21
			in Surah Fatir.
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:25
			Some more comparisons that Allah gives between the
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:27
			two, saying that they're not equal.
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:27
			Right?
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:31
			And how Allah compares them to two opposites.
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:34
			Two opposites, are they equal?
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:35
			No, they're opposites.
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:37
			And opposites cannot be equal.
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:39
			Right?
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:42
			Like the living and the dead.
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:44
			Two opposites.
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:53
			And the blind and the seeing.
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:58
			And, you know, heat and shade.
		
00:37:59 --> 00:37:59
			Right?
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:01
			This is going to come later on inshallah.
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:02
			Alright.
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:06
			The first lesson that we learn from this
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:16
			parable, Allah refers to the believers
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:22
			as those who can see and hear, even
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:24
			if they are actually blind and deaf.
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:31
			Allah says that the believer is one who
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:32
			sees and hears.
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:38
			So, even if a Muslim happens to be
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:43
			blind and deaf, it's as if he can
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:44
			see and hear perfectly.
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:46
			Why?
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:50
			Because he followed the truth regardless of how
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:51
			he received it.
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:58
			Yes, our eyes, our ears, our mind, these
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:03
			are faculties that help us to perceive the
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:03
			truth.
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:05
			Right?
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:09
			But if someone doesn't have these, and Allah
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:11
			guides his heart, he accepts it.
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:12
			Right?
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:17
			On the other hand, the kafir, Allah refers
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:21
			to the kafir as blind and deaf, even
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:26
			if he has perfect sight and hearing.
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:28
			Why?
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:35
			Because he didn't benefit from these faculties when
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:37
			the truth came to him.
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:41
			And it is through these faculties that the
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:44
			truth is easily recognized.
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:50
			And this is also why Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:53
			ta'ala refers to the kuffar as having
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:54
			no intellect.
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:56
			Right?
		
00:39:57 --> 00:40:01
			قَوْمٌ لَّا يَعْقِلُونَ They are a people who
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:03
			don't have any aql.
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:06
			Any understanding.
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:08
			Any intelligence.
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:12
			Even if they are the smartest of people,
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:16
			and the Muslims happen to be the dullest
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:18
			or the least intelligent of people.
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:20
			Right?
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:23
			What will they say in the akhirah?
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:33
			لَوْ كُنَّ نَسْمَعُ أَوْ نَعْقِلُ نَكُنَّ فِي أَصْحَابِ
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:35
			السَّعِيرِ When they're in the hellfire, they will
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:40
			say, if we had actually listened with our
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:46
			ears, and understood with our minds, then we
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:48
			wouldn't be here today in the hellfire.
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:54
			Meaning that they now admit that they didn't
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:55
			have any intellect.
		
00:40:56 --> 00:40:57
			Right?
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:06
			Because true intellect, true intelligence, it leads to
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:08
			recognizing the truth and accepting it.
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:12
			You could be the smartest person in the
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:15
			dunya, but if the truth comes to you
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:18
			and you reject it, then you are the
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:19
			least intelligent of people.
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:24
			That's why they say, you know, who's the
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:26
			smartest person today?
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:32
			Or they say he passed away a couple
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:32
			of years ago.
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:34
			Stephen Hawking.
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:36
			Right?
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:39
			The one who has all these theories regarding
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:43
			the universe.
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:47
			But he died as an atheist.
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:51
			He had a very sharp mind, but that
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:53
			mind didn't really benefit him.
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:54
			Right?
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:59
			I mean, everything proves the existence of Allah.
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:01
			The greatness of this universe that you have
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:04
			discovered its greatness, should have led you to
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:07
			recognize that there's a creator behind it.
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:08
			Right?
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:09
			But it didn't lead you to that.
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:13
			So what does it say about your intellect?
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:20
			And then you have the simplest people on
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:21
			the face of the earth 1400 years ago.
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:22
			The Arabs.
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:26
			Who had nothing.
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:28
			Who did not know how to read and
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:29
			write.
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:32
			Who were uneducated compared to the Romans and
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:34
			the Persians and these other civilizations.
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:39
			When the truth came to them, they accepted
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:40
			it.
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:45
			And, you know, it led them to where
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:46
			it led them.
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:47
			Right?
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:53
			And so, true intelligence, a sign of it,
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:55
			is that when the truth comes to you,
		
00:42:55 --> 00:42:57
			you recognize it and you accept it.
		
00:42:58 --> 00:42:58
			Right?
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:02
			Number two.
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:10
			When Allah gives such examples of the believers
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:15
			versus the disbelievers, it should make the intelligent
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:18
			one to want to be in the right
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:18
			camp.
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:22
			And that is the camp of the believers.
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:25
			And not the camp of the kuffar.
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:28
			You know, when you come across ayats like
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:35
			this, it should serve as, you know, a
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:35
			wake-up call.
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:38
			Where do I stand?
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:42
			When the truth comes to me, when I
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:44
			hear something of the Qur'an from the
		
00:43:44 --> 00:43:46
			Prophet ﷺ, how do I react?
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:49
			Am I going to react like the kafir?
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:54
			You know, where it goes in through one
		
00:43:54 --> 00:43:56
			ear and comes out through the other?
		
00:43:58 --> 00:44:01
			Or, am I going to hear and accept
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:02
			and obey?
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:04
			Right?
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:04
			Right?
		
00:44:06 --> 00:44:11
			Allah ﷻ says, يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا استَجِيبُوا
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:18
			لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ O you
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:21
			who believe, respond to Allah and His Messenger
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:24
			when He calls you to that which gives
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:24
			you life.
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:26
			Respond.
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:30
			Don't be like someone who is being called
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:32
			and you ignore the call.
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:33
			Right?
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:35
			Allah is saying, respond.
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:38
			Answer the call of the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:46
			Be like those who Allah mentions, you know,
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:49
			a characteristic of the believers.
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:57
			رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي لِلْإِيمَانِ أَنْ آمِنُوا
		
00:44:57 --> 00:45:03
			بِرَبِّكُمْ فَآمَنَا O Allah, we heard a caller
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:08
			calling to Iman, we heard it, and we
		
00:45:08 --> 00:45:10
			responded by believing.
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:16
			And this is what made the Sahaba and
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:19
			the Salaf in general, this is what made
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:21
			them to be different, how quickly they would
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:24
			respond in submission.
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:34
			Finally, one last point that we'll mention here,
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:43
			as we mentioned earlier, the call for religious
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:48
			pluralism and peaceful coexistence, this call that even
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:54
			some Muslims are making today, where they're saying,
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:59
			you know, forget about our differences, and we
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:04
			should accept diversity, all of this runs contrary
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:06
			to what Allah has revealed.
		
00:46:09 --> 00:46:10
			And so in more than one place in
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:13
			the Qur'an, Allah has mentioned in the
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:17
			most explicit words that the two camps are
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:20
			not equal, as we have mentioned.
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:26
			And that considering them to be equal is
		
00:46:26 --> 00:46:33
			unjust, it's wrong, because two opposites cannot be
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:33
			made equal.
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:40
			And so whoever is making such a call
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:43
			among the Muslims today, you know, his call
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:48
			is futile, it's worthless, because the clash between
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:54
			Iman and Kufr, it started with Allah revealing
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:57
			the Qur'an 1400 years ago, and it
		
00:46:57 --> 00:46:58
			will continue until the last day.
		
00:47:00 --> 00:47:02
			You shouldn't think that, oh, we're living in
		
00:47:02 --> 00:47:07
			a different time today, where, you know, the
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:11
			world has moved on, right?
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:16
			No, the reality is, the world has moved
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:19
			on to Kufr, and they want us to
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:21
			follow suit, right?
		
00:47:22 --> 00:47:27
			They have the upper hand, they have, you
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:29
			know, everything in their control, and they want
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:30
			everyone to come under the umbrella.
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:37
			But it doesn't work that way, right?
		
00:47:37 --> 00:47:39
			There's never going to be a time when
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:43
			this clash between Iman and Kufr is somehow
		
00:47:43 --> 00:47:47
			going to just melt away, and let's all
		
00:47:47 --> 00:47:49
			hold hands, right?
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:53
			That's never going to happen, until the last
		
00:47:53 --> 00:47:53
			day.
		
00:47:53 --> 00:47:56
			As the Prophet ﷺ told us, that there
		
00:47:56 --> 00:47:59
			will always be a group from this Ummah,
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:04
			وَظَاهِرِينَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ Right?
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:10
			They're going to continuously struggle and fight, and
		
00:48:10 --> 00:48:15
			remain upon the truth, in every generation, until
		
00:48:15 --> 00:48:15
			the Day of Judgment.
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:18
			The Prophet ﷺ says, until the Day of
		
00:48:18 --> 00:48:20
			Judgment, right?
		
00:48:24 --> 00:48:26
			Someone may ask, then what about the ayah
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:33
			where Allah says, لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَرِيَدِينُ For you
		
00:48:33 --> 00:48:35
			is your religion, and for me is mine.
		
00:48:36 --> 00:48:37
			Right?
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:39
			These people, they often quote such ayah.
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:45
			They say, Allah says, for you is your
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:46
			deen, for me is mine.
		
00:48:47 --> 00:48:50
			So, you know, you worship whatever you want,
		
00:48:50 --> 00:48:53
			I'll worship whatever I want, and let's peacefully
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:53
			coexist.
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:59
			And they say this means, you know, religious
		
00:48:59 --> 00:48:59
			pluralism.
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:04
			How do you respond to this?
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:34
			Okay.
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:36
			Anyone else?
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:44
			There's other ayahs you mean?
		
00:49:46 --> 00:49:51
			So you can't just cherry pick whatever ayahs
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:52
			you want.
		
00:49:55 --> 00:50:28
			It goes
		
00:50:28 --> 00:50:29
			both ways.
		
00:50:29 --> 00:50:29
			Yeah.
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:30
			Okay.
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:31
			Anyone else?
		
00:50:32 --> 00:50:37
			The same ayah?
		
00:50:38 --> 00:50:39
			Okay.
		
00:50:40 --> 00:50:41
			Anyone else?
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:49
			First of all, number one, whenever we use
		
00:50:49 --> 00:50:51
			an ayah from the Qur'an, we should
		
00:50:51 --> 00:50:52
			always look at the context.
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:54
			Right?
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:57
			When you take an ayah out of context,
		
00:50:58 --> 00:51:00
			then you can interpret it however you want.
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:06
			And that is how, you know, the various
		
00:51:06 --> 00:51:09
			sects that deviated from Ahlul Sunnah wal Jama
		
00:51:09 --> 00:51:13
			'ah, always, always, they will quote the Qur
		
00:51:13 --> 00:51:13
			'an.
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:14
			Right?
		
00:51:15 --> 00:51:17
			But they will quote it out of context.
		
00:51:20 --> 00:51:23
			How does a surah begin?
		
00:51:25 --> 00:51:30
			قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ O Kafiroon, O disbelievers,
		
00:51:30 --> 00:51:32
			calling them by who they are.
		
00:51:33 --> 00:51:33
			Right?
		
00:51:34 --> 00:51:36
			Allah didn't say, you guys are not kuffar,
		
00:51:36 --> 00:51:40
			let's refer to you as human beings.
		
00:51:41 --> 00:51:41
			Right?
		
00:51:41 --> 00:51:43
			Because that's what these people call to.
		
00:51:43 --> 00:51:45
			They say, we should be brothers in humanity.
		
00:51:46 --> 00:51:46
			Right?
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:49
			Allah didn't refer to them as our brothers
		
00:51:49 --> 00:51:49
			in humanity.
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:51
			He referred to them as kuffar.
		
00:51:53 --> 00:51:53
			Right?
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:55
			And then what did Allah say?
		
00:51:56 --> 00:51:58
			I'm not going to worship what you worship,
		
00:51:58 --> 00:51:59
			and you're not going to worship what I
		
00:51:59 --> 00:52:01
			worship, and it's repeated.
		
00:52:02 --> 00:52:03
			Right?
		
00:52:03 --> 00:52:05
			And then in the end Allah says, for
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:06
			you is your religion, and for me is
		
00:52:06 --> 00:52:07
			mine.
		
00:52:08 --> 00:52:13
			Also let's look at سَبَبَ النُّزُور The reason
		
00:52:13 --> 00:52:14
			why these ayat were revealed.
		
00:52:15 --> 00:52:19
			They came to the Prophet ﷺ, the kuffar
		
00:52:19 --> 00:52:22
			of Quraysh, they came to him to ask
		
00:52:22 --> 00:52:23
			him to compromise.
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:28
			They had enough of him preaching and giving
		
00:52:28 --> 00:52:30
			da'wah, they tried all sorts of things,
		
00:52:31 --> 00:52:33
			instead Islam was increasing.
		
00:52:34 --> 00:52:34
			Right?
		
00:52:34 --> 00:52:38
			So they came and said, Oh Muhammad, let's
		
00:52:38 --> 00:52:39
			make a deal.
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:44
			Why don't you worship our gods for a
		
00:52:44 --> 00:52:47
			year, and we will worship your god for
		
00:52:47 --> 00:52:47
			a year.
		
00:52:48 --> 00:52:49
			The Prophet ﷺ said, no.
		
00:52:51 --> 00:52:53
			They said, okay, then how about for one
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:53
			month?
		
00:52:54 --> 00:52:54
			He said, no.
		
00:52:55 --> 00:52:57
			He said, okay, for a week?
		
00:52:58 --> 00:52:58
			He said, no.
		
00:52:59 --> 00:53:00
			He said, for one day.
		
00:53:01 --> 00:53:03
			And then Allah revealed this surah.
		
00:53:03 --> 00:53:04
			Surah Al-Kafi'ah.
		
00:53:05 --> 00:53:06
			This is number one.
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:06
			Number two.
		
00:53:09 --> 00:53:13
			This ayah was revealed, in, as the brother
		
00:53:13 --> 00:53:16
			mentioned, as disassociation from shirk.
		
00:53:17 --> 00:53:18
			Al-Bara'ah.
		
00:53:19 --> 00:53:19
			Right?
		
00:53:20 --> 00:53:24
			For a Muslim to understand that he needs
		
00:53:24 --> 00:53:28
			to disassociate himself from shirk, and kuffar, and
		
00:53:28 --> 00:53:29
			the kuffar and their ways.
		
00:53:30 --> 00:53:34
			Not for the sake of religious pluralism, or
		
00:53:34 --> 00:53:37
			the unity of religions, and bringing them close
		
00:53:37 --> 00:53:37
			together.
		
00:53:38 --> 00:53:38
			Right?
		
00:53:39 --> 00:53:40
			What's the proof of that?
		
00:53:41 --> 00:53:43
			Where was this ayah in Surah Al-Kafi
		
00:53:43 --> 00:53:44
			'ah, where was it revealed?
		
00:53:45 --> 00:53:46
			In Mecca.
		
00:53:47 --> 00:53:49
			Then the Prophet ﷺ migrates to Medina.
		
00:53:51 --> 00:53:53
			Spends a couple of years there.
		
00:53:54 --> 00:53:57
			And then he returns to Mecca, conquering it,
		
00:53:57 --> 00:53:58
			and doing what in the end?
		
00:54:00 --> 00:54:02
			Going into the Ka'bah, and destroying all
		
00:54:02 --> 00:54:03
			the idols in it.
		
00:54:05 --> 00:54:09
			If this ayah meant what they're saying, then
		
00:54:09 --> 00:54:11
			he would have been like, okay, let's all
		
00:54:11 --> 00:54:12
			hold hands.
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:15
			You guys want to worship your idols?
		
00:54:15 --> 00:54:15
			Go ahead.
		
00:54:16 --> 00:54:17
			And we'll worship Allah.
		
00:54:18 --> 00:54:19
			Right?
		
00:54:20 --> 00:54:22
			If that's what this ayah meant.
		
00:54:24 --> 00:54:25
			But what did the Prophet ﷺ do?
		
00:54:25 --> 00:54:27
			He destroyed their idols.
		
00:54:28 --> 00:54:29
			Smashed them.
		
00:54:30 --> 00:54:35
			Proving that Iman is not like kuffar.
		
00:54:36 --> 00:54:37
			Tawheed is not like shirk.
		
00:54:37 --> 00:54:39
			A Muslim is not equal to a Catholic.
		
00:54:42 --> 00:54:42
			Right?
		
00:54:42 --> 00:54:43
			And he continued this.
		
00:54:43 --> 00:54:45
			It didn't end with the conquest of Mecca.
		
00:54:46 --> 00:54:47
			He continued it afterwards.
		
00:54:48 --> 00:54:49
			Right?
		
00:54:49 --> 00:54:52
			Until Islam became predominant over Arabia.
		
00:54:52 --> 00:54:56
			He sent some of the companions to different
		
00:54:56 --> 00:54:58
			parts to destroy the major idol.
		
00:54:59 --> 00:54:59
			Right?
		
00:55:01 --> 00:55:04
			And so the point is that we need
		
00:55:04 --> 00:55:10
			to understand what our deen says about this.
		
00:55:12 --> 00:55:13
			And what the Qur'an says.
		
00:55:13 --> 00:55:18
			The Qur'an is clear and explicit about
		
00:55:18 --> 00:55:21
			the fact that a believer is not equal
		
00:55:21 --> 00:55:23
			to a disbeliever.
		
00:55:24 --> 00:55:26
			But having understood this, this doesn't mean now
		
00:55:26 --> 00:55:31
			that a Muslim treats a kafir unfairly and
		
00:55:31 --> 00:55:31
			unjustly.
		
00:55:32 --> 00:55:33
			Right?
		
00:55:33 --> 00:55:35
			We have to differentiate between the two concepts.
		
00:55:36 --> 00:55:36
			Right?
		
00:55:36 --> 00:55:41
			One is understanding what our aqeedah is regarding
		
00:55:41 --> 00:55:41
			this issue.
		
00:55:42 --> 00:55:45
			And the other is our mu'amalah.
		
00:55:46 --> 00:55:49
			Our dealing with kuffar who are not at
		
00:55:49 --> 00:55:50
			war with us.
		
00:55:51 --> 00:55:51
			Right?
		
00:55:52 --> 00:55:54
			Kuffar who are not hostile towards us.
		
00:55:55 --> 00:55:56
			How do we behave with them?
		
00:55:56 --> 00:55:58
			We have guidelines for that.
		
00:55:58 --> 00:56:01
			That the Qur'an itself has taught us.
		
00:56:03 --> 00:56:04
			And so this is where we'll stop.
		
00:56:05 --> 00:56:05
			Any questions?
		
00:56:19 --> 00:56:22
			The question is what does hasid mean?
		
00:56:24 --> 00:56:28
			فَجَعَلْنَاهَا حَصِيدًا It means it's destroyed.
		
00:56:29 --> 00:56:30
			Allah destroys it.
		
00:56:31 --> 00:56:33
			But in the ayah, it's not mentioned what
		
00:56:33 --> 00:56:34
			destroyed it.
		
00:56:34 --> 00:56:35
			It could be a fire.
		
00:56:36 --> 00:56:38
			It could be a storm.
		
00:56:40 --> 00:56:41
			It could be anything.
		
00:56:43 --> 00:56:45
			Any other questions?
		
00:56:49 --> 00:56:51
			Alright, inshallah we'll continue.
		
00:56:51 --> 00:56:51
			Yeah, go ahead.
		
00:57:08 --> 00:57:10
			You mean even like the names of Allah?
		
00:57:27 --> 00:57:29
			I haven't come across anything.
		
00:57:30 --> 00:57:31
			You can look into it inshallah.
		
00:57:33 --> 00:57:35
			Any other questions?
		
00:57:36 --> 00:57:38
			Alright, we'll stop here then inshallah.
		
00:57:39 --> 00:57:40
			And we'll continue next week.
		
00:57:41 --> 00:57:43
			سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا
		
00:57:43 --> 00:57:46
			أنت أستغفرك وأتوب إليك وصلِّ اللهم وسلِّم على
		
00:57:46 --> 00:57:51
			نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين السلام عليكم
		
00:57:51 --> 00:57:53
			ورحمة الله وبركاته
