00:00:02 --> 00:00:09
			We started this new series on the parables
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:14
			of the Qur'an, and so today, inshallah,
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			we are going to just go over the
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:22
			introduction of the Qur'an, and then next
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			week we are going to actually start looking
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			at the parables of the Qur'an.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:36
			And so Allah used different ways in the
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			Qur'an to get this message across to
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:38
			us.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:45
			Sometimes through the form of straight Qur'an.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			Other times by telling us stories of the
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			prophets of the past.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			And the nations and civilizations of the past.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:05
			Other times through what is known as Tarhid.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			Allah wants us to do some good.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			He doesn't just say do it, but He
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			will encourage us, He will motivate us by
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			mentioning the rewards of it.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			And Tarhid, which is, He has told us
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			to stay away from something.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			He didn't just say stay away from it,
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			but mention the punishments of it.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			If we were not to stay away from
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:31
			it.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			The Qur'an has gems and wisdoms.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			In the worst case, I'm going to bring
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			my son to you.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			As Allah Himself mentions in the Qur'an.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			The praise of Allah is comparable.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02
			Allah says to you, and this tarh is
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			comparable.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			We present it to the people, and no
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			one will understand.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:13
			No one will comprehend them, except for people
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			who have knowledge.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			Except for people who have knowledge.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			That's why it's mentioned that some of the
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:27
			setup, when they would not understand a particular
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:27
			parable.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			Allah has mentioned in the Qur'an.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			They would cry.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			Why?
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			Oh, that's too early.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			There's no point in you joking and trying
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			to understand.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:41
			Okay.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			Why don't you say this?
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			I want to make sure that I also
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			say this.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			Can you take a chance?
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			Why don't you try?
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			Can you tell us how?
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:54
			Please.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			If we are not able to present it
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			to the world, we can do that.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			Perhaps.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			The problem is this set of precedents.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			I thought we were going to go to
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			the end of the Qur'an.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			Because when you start investing in the Qur
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:11
			'an early, you start to create examples.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			In this Qur'an, every kind of parable.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			You want it early, so that I can
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			perhaps say the same thing.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			The last time you guys gave me my
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			money early, I want it early as well.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			These parables, Allah has mentioned them for us.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:24
			No.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			You take a number of precedents.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			If possible, you can write to reflect over
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			that.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			To attempt to understand what is the one
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:38
			trying to get across to us by making
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			sure that it is parable.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:47
			So all of a sudden, what is learning
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			about these parables?
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			Now, what is meant by the word parable?
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			The plural of which is?
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			We translate it into parable.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			But what is the actual meaning?
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			It can mean one of two things.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			So in this case, I have to cancel.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			Which presents a short story.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:30
			Typically, within one of the brothers that wanted
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			to come.
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			He didn't get to meet you last time.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			An example?
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			I want to accommodate him.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			Is it okay if we?
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:44
			We have to think.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			The boy you quite want.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:51
			The boy you quite want.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			No, no, no.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			Make a date.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			It's a short story.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			With a moral lesson.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			What is a moral lesson?
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			That Friday we meet each other.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:08
			And we use that as the example.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:13
			There was a boy who would always lie.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:18
			And then, one day, he said there's a
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			wolf that's attacking the boy.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			He said he always lies.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			So the boy, there's a wolf.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			An example from the Quran of this kind
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			of matter.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, says in surah
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:37
			al-Qiyasih.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:45
			Okay, we can change the date.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:50
			And present to them the lesson of the
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:51
			people of the city.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:59
			So, this is basically.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:04
			Allah mentions a sort of these messengers come
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			to these people.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:12
			And the moral lesson is that this is
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:12
			the fate.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			They were punished.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			This is the fate of those who don't
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:17
			believe in Allah.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
			Also in the Quran, Allah says in surah
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			al-Qiyasih.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			The example of the two men.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			The one man was rich.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			And his neighbor was poor.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			The poor neighbor, he was a looker.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			The rich man, he was poor.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			So Allah requires you to go and send
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:48
			a looker.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:50
			Right?
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:57
			So this is the first meaning of mention.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:05
			The second is, basically, we are.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			I'll call you.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			We're not going to be covering the first
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:12
			time.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:13
			Right?
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			We're not going to be covering the first
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:15
			time.
