00:00:15 --> 00:00:21
			We move on after that to the next parable, which is in the next verse right after that.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			As we said, we have two parables here.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			The first is
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			the parable of the believer
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:43
			and the foundation of the believer and that is what we have just discussed. Now we move on to the
parable that a lot presents concerning the cafe and the foundation
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			of the cafe.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:51
			Allah subhana wa tada says, in the next two verses
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:57
			in Surah, Ibrahim, verses 26 and 27.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:07
			One after Luke Kelly met in hobby 13 kashia Joe rotten hobby that he needed to set me
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			Rubina
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			or you said Beto,
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			colita BTV. dunia What
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:28
			are you doing low Vol. II mean
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			a loss of Hannah who were to Hannah says
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			and the parable of the bad word.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:48
			The example of the bad word is like a bad tree
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:54
			uprooted from the surface of the earth, not having any stability.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:10
			A law keeps firm those who believe with the firm word in this worldly life and in the era. And a law
sends astray the wrongdoers and the law does what He wills
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			here Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:21
			compares the bad word to a bad tree.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:42
			And a lot compares the kafir to a bad tree. So what is the bad word? What is meant by the bad word
here? A loss of Hannah hutan it says elsewhere. What gyla Kelly martela Deena car photos truth law.
What Kelly metu law he olalia
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:48
			and allow me the word of the cathar to be the lowest.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:52
			While the word of Allah Allah made it to be the highest.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			Even ambassador of the Allahu Allahu Allah, He says,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:58
			concerning
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:03
			the explanation of the bad word.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			Or as Allah says here, Kelly metalla Dena cafaro
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:18
			how Allah made it, the lowest, which Allah Kelly mentality and a couple of Sophia, Abraham that
says, the word
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			of those who disbelieve of the kuffaar refers to shift.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:35
			While the word of Allah, will Kelly matola here earlier, and the word of Allah is the highest, while
the word of Allah refers to the calendar of atonement.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:43
			And so, just like a tree that has been uprooted from the ground,
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			and cannot produce any fruits,
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			likewise, is the state of the kuffar
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			whose foundation doesn't stand
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:08
			or whose foundation is not anything solid, the caffeine does not stand on a solid foundation.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:14
			So you cannot expect him to produce anything good.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:22
			Meaning you cannot print you cannot expect the calf to produce any good deeds, because he doesn't
have a foundation
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			where good deeds will originate from.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:32
			And even if a calf was to do good deeds,
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:40
			it would not be accepted from him. Why? Because in the sight of Allah, it is not considered a good
deed
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:45
			in our sight, it seems to be a good deed outwardly,
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:59
			but in the sight of Allah, it is not a good deed. And that is because Allah subhana wa tada is of
piab La Ilaha Illa puja what is good and he does not accept it.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			anything except that which is good.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			So, what is a good deed? A good deed.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:14
			The only good deed that is accepted by a lot is that which is based upon a loss and a man.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:22
			A person must have done it sincerely for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:29
			It must have been done sincerely for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:40
			and it must have been done, according to how Allah has legislated it a lot more His Messenger, how
they have legislated for this good deed to be done.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			And so since the kuffaar
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:53
			whatever good deeds they may do, since it was not sincerely for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:05:55 --> 00:06:00
			it is not going to be accepted from them, even at best, what are the alumni he says?
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04
			the deeds of the cafe are never accepted.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:15
			nor are they raised up to Allah subhana wa Tada. So he has no firm base on Earth, nor any branch in
the sky.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:28
			He has no firm base on the earth, nor any branch in the sky. And that explains this parable that
explains this parable. What did a lot mentioned here in this parable,
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			Allah gives three, Allah gave us three descriptions.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:42
			Or Allah gave us here two descriptions of
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:50
			of this battery because Allah said the bad word is like the battery.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:56
			And Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned two descriptions here. The first is
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:02
			kashia Ratan javita. Eg to set Min felco audibly.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:13
			It is uprooted from the ground. Have you ever seen a tree that let's say a storm came and it caused
it to fall over.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:18
			So you see the tree lying on the ground, uproot it from the ground.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:25
			And the second description Allah says not karate,
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			it has no
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			foundation,
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			it is not firmly fixed in the ground.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:41
			So now here we have a tree, that is the opposite
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:46
			of the tree that we mentioned in the previous parable.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			In the previous parable, we have three descriptions of the tree
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			it is firmly fixed in the ground.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			It has branches in the sky
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:04
			and it is always producing fruit. So now let us look at this evil tree.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			It is not firmly fixed in the ground.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:18
			So this means the cafe. He does not have a man in his heart. There is no emotion in his art.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:39
			He has no branches in the sky, this tree has no branches, stretching into the sky, because it is
uprooted from the ground. It is lying on the ground. It has no branches in the sky. The cafard has
no good deeds going up to the heavens, as opposed to the believer.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:46
			Meaning even if he does good deeds, they are unaccepted they are not going up to Allah subhanho wa
Taala
		
00:08:48 --> 00:09:02
			and the third, this tree is not producing any fruits, because it is uprooted from the ground it is
dead. So how do you expect it to produce any any fruit? Likewise, the cafe
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:15
			he is not producing any fruits meaning he is not producing any good deeds. Even if he does good
deeds, they are no and void. They are worthless, they are not being accepted.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:24
			And so this is the parable that Allah gives us concerning the calf. the complete opposite of the
Mothman
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:46
			and then Allah subhanho wa Taala concluded by mentioning the end result of these two parables in the
final area. Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned the end result of these two parables you step be to
wha hoo Latina and then build a beautiful Hyatt in dunya. one euro
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:55
			regarding the believers Allah says that he keeps those who believe he keeps them firm
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			upon the firm word meaning
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			Have a Toshi
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:17
			in this dunya and in the Acura. As for the kuffaar, where you will no longer have volume you know,
as long as you're sharp and the law sends the volley moon, the wrongdoers Allah sends them astray.
He allows him to go straight.
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:22
			And so Allah subhanho wa Taala grants the believers
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:27
			who strive hard, He grants them firmness
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:42
			in this dunya keeping them firm upon tauheed keeping their man firm in their hearts, keeping them
firm upon the straight path in this dunya and also in the Acura.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:51
			And as where the kuffaar Allah leads them astray allows them to go astray. Why because they
themselves turned away.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			And so from this parable,
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:00
			we have several lessons that we learned the first is
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:06
			that this description Allah subhanahu attallah gives us concerning the kuffaar
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			that Allah compares them
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			to something evil
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:22
			and the law refers to them as being evil and filthy. This is
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
			a description that is right on point.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:34
			And so and humped in the Arabic language refers to something filthy,
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			something evil something filthy.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			And here Allah says,
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			says that the filthy word
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			can Kelly met in javita?
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:57
			The evil word the filthy word is just like the filthy or the evil treat.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:04
			And this is not the only place in the Quran where Allah subhanho wa Taala refers to the kuffaar
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:10
			with such a description, and so Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:17
			in Surah, two nor alphabeta to the hability in our hobby Sunil hubitat.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:19
			That
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			the evil the wicked, the filthy,
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			meaning those who commit Zina
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:37
			sabetha truly Hobbesian. The female among them are for the males among them,
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:46
			while hobby tuna little habitat and the males of those who commit Zina are for the females of those
who commit Zina.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:56
			And so a lot of refers to Xena as being something filthy, and those who are involved in such a sin
as being filthy people.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			Contrary,
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:04
			as opposed to the believers, and as opposed to you know, the believers who do not
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:15
			involve themselves in such sins. Allah subhanho wa Taala says, What are you back to let it be? What
a boon Allah tageblat
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:23
			as for those who are pure, meaning they have purified themselves from such filthy sins,
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:33
			then Allah says the female of the pure or are for the, the, the meals of the pure.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:48
			And after you Bonelli about the males of the pure are for the females of the pure, meaning that they
are pure because they don't involve themselves in the filth of Xena.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55
			And we shouldn't think here that
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:57
			the kuffaar
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:01
			if we look at many of them today,
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			they keep themselves clean. So how can
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:12
			how can we refer to them as being dirty or filthy?
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			And it's true outwardly
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:20
			many kuffaar
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:25
			are more clean, they keep themselves more clean than many Muslims.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31
			We say to answer this question that
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:38
			although they may be clean their cleanliness is only outward.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:42
			It is only outward
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			and not inward.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:55
			And so cleanliness, clean cleanliness and being pure and clean. It is of two kinds
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			an inner cleanliness and also an outward
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			eldor cleanliness
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			and the believer is required
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:10
			to keep himself pure and clean both inwardly and outwardly.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			And that's why
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			Allah subhanho wa Taala refers to
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			the machinery Khoon
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:26
			as being filthy nudges Allah subhanho wa Taala says, Yeah, you already know and in the middle shikun
is
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:36
			all you who believe the dimucci Kuhn, or nudges. When we read the Tafseer of this ayah, the scholar
say it refers to
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:38
			inward and
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			inward filth, meaning their hearts.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:57
			Their hearts are not pure, because their hearts are attached to false gods, and they worship false
gods. So their hearts are not pure, but rather filthy.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:00
			And
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:08
			coming back to the point of how Allah describes
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:16
			Zina as being something filthy, if we look at the story of loot alayhis salaam, what do we find
there?
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:30
			When loot Ali Salam would call his people to worship a lot, and not to involve themselves in this
hideous crime of homosexuality.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:33
			What did
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:50
			what was the answer of his people? A lot tells us Womack had a joab one that can add joab comi illa
and corlew. Whom in karate come in whom una soon. Yeah, Tata Harun.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:56
			Allah subhanho wa Taala says, and the only answer they could give to loot is lamb, meaning
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:04
			they didn't have any answer to give to him. Because they knew that they were wrong in what they were
doing. So they said,
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:09
			well, man, I can enjoy the home he called me Korea tickle.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:21
			They didn't have any answer except to say, expel these people from your, from your town. These were
the people of Saddam, the town of Saddam.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:29
			Who looted Islam was set to and they were involved in homosexuality.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			They said
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:50
			get rid of these people, loot Ali Salaam and his followers, get rid of them, kick them out of this
town. Why? in Nassau yetta Harun they are a people who like to keep themselves pure. So this shows
us
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:53
			that even they admitted
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
			that
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
			these
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			illicit
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			acts were dirty
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08
			that
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:24
			these homosexual practices that they were involved in, that it was something filthy and dirty, they
admitted it by referring to loot Allah, Islam and his followers as being pure people who like to
keep themselves pure.
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:25
			And so
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:33
			this is the first lesson that we learned. The second lesson that we learned from this parable is
that
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			shirk and kufr
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			can never remain stable
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:47
			and can never rise and overpower a man until heat.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			Shift and Kufa
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:56
			is not something that remains stable. And that's why a lot refers to
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			the cafe in this parable
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:04
			to this tree that is uprooted from the ground.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:10
			It has no stability. Likewise, Kufa
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			is something that
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:17
			never remains stable, and it will never remain forever.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:22
			And it can never rise and overpower, amen.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:29
			But then suddenly be asking, how about in today's day and age?
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:40
			Don't the kuffar and the enemies of Islam? Don't they have the upper hand over the people of a man?
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:43
			To answer that question we say
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46
			yes,
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:51
			outwardly, today. That is the case but
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			we say that the game is not over yet.
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			The game is not over.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			The game will be over
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			on the last day.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			And so we have from now until Yokoyama
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:14
			and the tables, they will eventually turn.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:20
			And there will eventually come a time when the kuffaar
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:23
			will be defeated.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			This is the promise of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:33
			And so just because today they have the upper the upper hand, just because today they are leading.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:39
			It doesn't mean that fear lead is permanent,
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:54
			but rather that eventual end will be their defeat and victory for the believers. Will tilaka Yamuna
widow have been a nurse, Allah subhanahu wa tada says that
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:56
			these are the days
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:14
			these are the days, some days, certain people are victorious, but other days, they are not
victorious. Allah subhana wa tada we don't have enough, Allah rotates it. Sometimes he gives victory
to certain people.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:24
			But other times he gives it to other people. There is no nation on the face of this earth that has
lasted until yom Okayama
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			therefore eventually comes.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:56
			Finally, the last lesson that we learn here is that the kafir has no steadfast base. But rather he
always changes as the people and the situation around him changes. And so he doesn't have any set
principles that he abides by. But he is only led by his whims and his desires. This is the reality
of the Kovach,
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:08
			they don't have any set base, the majority of them, they don't have any set of principles that they
abide by. Today they are upon one thing, tomorrow they are upon something else.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:36
			And that is because of the confusion that they are living in those darknesses that Allah describes
the cafe that he lives in, he is confused in this dunya in darkness, not knowing where to go, not
knowing where the truth lies, and likewise, any Muslim who follows in their footsteps.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:42
			And so today we have many Muslims, unfortunately, who
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:48
			are no different, where they don't have set principles that they abide by.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:54
			And so they change as the people and the situation around them changes.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:28
			But if a man was strong in their hearts, then they would remain firm and not change if the people
changed or if the situation around them changed. Without we come to the end of this session. We ask
Allah Subhana Allah Allah to grant us a man and steadfastness upon his Deen, what sort of a walk was
