00:00:15 --> 00:00:15
			We move on
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			to the next parable
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			and this is in Surah two room
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			and it continues on the theme of
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			a ship and the machinery
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			and so Allah subhanahu wa tada says here
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			in verse number 28 of Sora talk room
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			Bora Bella
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:50
			Min fusi come help me ma'am Allah get a man
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			female was gonna come
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			to me, he said
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:07
			the hall funa effetti come full circle
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			he can
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:16
			leave me tomie de Lune
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			Allah subhanahu wa tada says,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			he presents to you a parable from yourself.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:34
			Meaning Allah has presented here a parable that is drawn from our own lives. And this is
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			specifically concerning the lives of
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:47
			those who the Quran was revealed to the Arabs and the Muslim School of kurush
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:55
			who used to have slaves and so Allah subhanahu wa tada says,
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:09
			Do you have among those whom your right hands possess, meaning Do you have among your slaves, any
partners in that which we have provided for you, meaning
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			that Allah has provided you with wealth
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:21
			Do you have partners from your slaves, who share with you in your wealth
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			the entrance fee so so that you are equal
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:32
			you are equal concerning your share of this wealth
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			to Hakuna honka effetti comm and full circle
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:42
			and you would fear them as you fear one another meaning that
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			in a partnership
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			whenever there's a business partnership,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			each
		
00:02:53 --> 00:03:07
			partner he fears that his partner will go away with a greater share of the profit than he deserves.
So our law says here
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			such a partnership where you fear one another.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			And so, are your slaves
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:24
			would who are considered by you as being inferior to you.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:35
			Do they share with you in your wealth like to business partners share their wealth while having this
fear of one another?
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:42
			Is that how? Or is this is this something that exists among you?
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:52
			Because then you can fall straight on it will call me a Loon. This is how we make the signs clear
for people who understand.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:04:02
			And so here in this parable, Allah subhanahu wa tada compares the Missouri Kuhn, those who set up
partners with a law.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:08
			A law compares them to a master who makes his slave his partner,
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:20
			a rich, wealthy Master, who has a lot of wealth. And he says to his slave, you are my partner in
this wealth, you are equal to me.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:29
			And so here Allah subhanho wa Taala addresses those who associate partners with him in worship
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:46
			by bringing their attention to something that they would never accept, and they would never allow
with regards to themselves. And that is the slaves that they possess. They would never allow these
slaves to share in their wealth
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:57
			in their property in their inheritance. Just like two business partners share with one another while
being cautious and fearful.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			Less
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			His partner takes more than he deserves.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:12
			And so just as you would never accept for your own selves, such a partnership with your slaves
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:36
			Why do you accept ascribing helpless partners to a lot when everything in this universe, everything
in existence belongs to him subhanahu wa taala. And everything in this universe are slaves of Allah
subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40
			So the analogy here is clear cut.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			It's so vivid.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:49
			And as we said earlier, when we spoke about parables
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			that parables are always taken
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:58
			from things that we can relate to.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:07
			And so Allah is addressing these people who, you know, slave trade and having slaves was common
among them.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:18
			And it was impossible to find a master who owns a slave, to tell the slave that you know what you
are my partner in this world.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			And so a lot gives them this analogy,
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:29
			to bring their attention to the fact that Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			is alone
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:34
			in,
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			in owning everything in this universe.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			And so therefore,
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			he is alone in his deserving of worship.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			You cannot direct your worship to others, and
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:57
			say that they are partners of Allah subhanahu wa Tada.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:11
			Rather, if you were to think about it, it makes more sense for you, to make your slaves to share
with you in your wealth, then to
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			attribute a partner to Allah.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			In this analogy, Allah subhanahu wa tada
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:29
			is saying that, just like a master would never do this with his slave. Likewise, it is not, it does
not make sense
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:39
			to, to do this with a law when he is the master, and everyone else are the slaves of our law. But we
can add to this, that
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			it actually makes more sense
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:53
			to make your slaves to be your partner, then, to attribute a partner to how
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:01
			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:06
			that your slaves are your brothers.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			Allah has placed them under your authority, that's all that it is.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			Slavery
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:24
			is simply Allah subhanho wa Taala, causing certain people to become humiliated
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:33
			and causing them to be under the authority of other human beings.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:42
			And so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam reminded us in the end of the day, these are human
beings like,
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			like you,
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:55
			you are the master, he is asleep. But in the end of the day, you are both human beings. And if you
are a Muslim, and your slave is a Muslim, then you are brothers.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01
			And so treat them fairly.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:09
			Treat them fairly. And that's why we have various Hadith, such as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam advising
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:23
			a master to do basically treat his leave fairly to the point where he should share with him his
clothing, and his food and so on and so forth.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:37
			And so it makes more sense for us to share with our slaves, if we happen to have slaves, it makes
more sense for us to share something of our wealth with them
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:44
			and to make them some kind of partner with what we own.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:59
			Whereas with regards to a loss of Hannah, who had to hide, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
Because a lot is on hayuk. He is the Creator and everything else besides a lot, isn't it
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			Look, the creation.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:10
			And so, that being the case, everything belongs to Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:20
			including us, human beings, which is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:27
			when he was asked about the most serious sin, the most dangerous
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:37
			and grievous sin that a person can ever fall into. He said, integer Allah, Allah He needs done
wahaca
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:42
			to set up a rival to Allah, meaning
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			to claim that there is a God besides a lot
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			rivaling with Allah,
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			when,
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			when it is a wall who created you,
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:02
			when it is Allah who created everything? How on earth can you
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:18
			ascribe? Or how on earth can you set a rival, set up a rival with Allah, something that is a
creation of a love, whether it be an idol, a tree, another human being,
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:23
			in the end of the day, they are all a part of a loss creation.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:28
			Among the lessons that we learned from this parable is first and foremost.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			Not only is schicke
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:50
			something that Allah has prohibited, and warned us of it's severe punishment. But it is also
something that does not make any sense. And it goes contrary to basic human logic and common sense.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:58
			And that's why a lot ends the verse here by saying, Daddy can fasudil it Leave me
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:10
			alone? Does do we detail the verses that are yet for a people who will understand for a people who
will reason who will use their common sense.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:21
			And throughout the Quran, we find this that Allah subhanho wa Taala gives us argument after argument
refuting schicke
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:30
			that is based on common sense. That is based on simple logic.
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:42
			Throughout the Quran, you'll find various examples of this, of how Allah subhanho wa Taala gives us
arguments, evidences, parables
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:50
			that show us how illogical the nature of ship is, or the concept of ship.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54
			The second lesson that we learn from this parable is
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			that those who will benefit
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			from their human intellects
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:06
			with parables like these are those
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:13
			who are free of qualities like arrogance,
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:19
			not showing any interest to find the truth.
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:25
			And so there are many people out there in the world
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:31
			who are arrogant, who feel themselves as being
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:33
			above
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			having to submit to something.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:50
			They don't want to be told how to live their life. They don't want to be told that you know what,
there is a creator who created you, and he expects something from you.
		
00:13:51 --> 00:14:10
			He expects you to submit to Him. They don't want to have any of that. And so this is a kind of
arrogance. There are other people in the world who don't really care. They don't really show any
interest for wanting to find the truth
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:15
			about who created us, why are we here?
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			What does the creator want from us.
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:22
			And so
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:26
			such people
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:31
			will never benefit from their human intellects
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:35
			no matter how smart they may seem to be.
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:40
			But rather, those who will benefit
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:48
			from parables like these and other ayat in the Quran.
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:57
			They are those who show a genuine interest for finding the truth
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			which is why they are called in
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:00
			intelligent.
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			That's why you find this throughout the Quran.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:10
			Allah subhanho wa Taala refers to such people
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			as being intelligent people,
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:17
			as being a people who use their mind.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:25
			In a few hungry somehow work, you will walk the laughing lately when de la,
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			la la la la
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:37
			in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the day and the night, there are
yet there are signs for who not for anyone,
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			not for all human beings,
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:50
			but rather, for people who will reason or people who will use their minds of people who will
understand.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:56
			The third lesson that we learned from this parable is
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:07
			that the only reason why these people, these machinery Kuhn and others, why they persist
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			upon their shed or their Cofer.
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:16
			The only reason is because they follow they have decided
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:21
			to follow their whims and their desires, their how
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:28
			not because they genuinely believe that what they are upon is the truth.
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:39
			And here we're talking about those people who they've been shown clearly.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:44
			All the evidence is that prove
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:51
			that Allah is one, and that he alone deserves worship, and that Islam is the truth and so on and so
forth.
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:59
			If they still turn a blind eye, if they still turn away, and they persist upon their ship,
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
			like the people,
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:09
			the people who Ibrahim alayhis salam was giving Dawa to his people.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:24
			After he showed them, all the evidences for the fact that Allah is one, and that he alone deserves
to be worshipped without any partners. Still, they persisted upon their shit, to the point where
they tried to kill him.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:30
			The reality of such people is
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:42
			that they are people who worship their whims, their desires, and they are not a people who genuinely
believe that what they are upon is the truth.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:48
			Which is why Allah subhanho wa Taala follows this verse.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:58
			Here in sort of Toad room, Allah follows it. The next verse, what does Allah say? belly tap Allah de
novo Allah, wa, whom Bihari.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:01
			In fact,
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:08
			the wrongdoers they merely follow their whims, their desires, with no knowledge,
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			they follow their whims.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:19
			They follow their whims and and their desires, not based on knowledge.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:25
			So mania demon, urban Allah, so then who can guide those
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			Allah has left to go astray
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:34
			when our luminosity and they will have no partners.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:37
			And so,
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:42
			the reality of such people is
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			that they have chosen this path
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			to ignore the truth
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:52
			after it became clear to them
		
00:18:54 --> 00:19:00
			why because they want you to follow their whims and their desires, nothing else.
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:18
			And so based upon this, we can clearly understand why such people will be punished by a lot in the
accurate many people they have this dope nowadays. That How can Allah punish people so severely?
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:27
			Simply because they decided not to follow the truth set by Allah. Isn't that cruel? Isn't that too
harsh?
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:30
			The answer is no.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:35
			These people were stubborn. They were arrogant.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:52
			After knowing the truth, after the truth became clear to them, and they still persisted upon their
falsehood. And so the punishment that they will get is
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54
			completely suitable
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			and deserving for their crime.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:09
			And that's because Allah subhanho wa Taala is the oil just and he will never punish anyone
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:17
			without that person deserving to be punished in the way that Allah will punish them.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:43
			And so we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to show us the truth as being the truth and to show us
falsehood as being falsehood, in who will use alika will call you ally. With that we come to the end
of this session. So pina colada Mel B hamitic, a Chateau La Ilaha Illa and still fetal color to blue
