00:00:11 --> 00:00:11
			marine.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			One early also heavy woman he
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:23
			was telling me so Natalie Dean, alumni alumni in Santa Ana de mer alum Tena
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:34
			koe Li Salam alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			We move on to
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:51
			the next two parables, from the Sunnah, from the statements of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:57
			and today we have two parables related to the Quran
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:07
			and the one who recites the urn, and the one who memorizes and revises the Quran.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			And perhaps some of us have come across
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			these two parables.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:22
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam compares the one who receives the Quran
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			to something and he compares the one who does not recite it. Who knows this parable?
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			Yeah, like a date.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			Yeah, so basically,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentions
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			four categories of people with respect to
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:52
			the Quran and recite in Accra. So this heavy we have
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			mentioned in Bukhari and Muslim it's agreed upon.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			It's from
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			the musella ashari rhodiola Guang,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:08
			kala karasawa, who Salalah alayhi wa sallam metal will mean eleri.

			Metal in
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			Erie who held
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:21
			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that their example of the believer
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:26
			who recites the Quran is the URL
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			a Trojan which is basically a kind of plant.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			In English it is known as the Citroen
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:42
			which smells good and also tastes good. It smells good and also tastes great.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			Well, let's have a look to Lady layer for an
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:51
			Kemet le Tamra Larry Hala watamu
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			and the example of the believer
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			who does not recite the Quran
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			is like that of a date.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			Who whose
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			is it whose taste is sweet
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			but it does not have any smell.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			It tastes sweet but it doesn't have any smell.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:23
			Well, there's a little moon African lady and metta rude Rihanna
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:30
			and the example of the hypocrite who recites the Quran in another
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			version of this Hadith, it doesn't say hypocrite. It says
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			the wicked person
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:44
			who recites the Quran, his example is that of a right hander, which is basically
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			the sweet basil.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			The sweet basil, it's a kind of plant.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			He says which
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			he says which smells good, but
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:07
			it tastes better. It smells good. But when you taste it, it tastes better.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			When let alone African la de la
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:14
			sala
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			de sala de matar Mohamad
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			and the example of a hypocrite or
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:27
			the fragile the wicked person who does not recite the Quran
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:36
			is like that of an hombre which is basically a kind of plant it is known as the colo symptom.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			It is known as the colo sin
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			and it does not have any smell
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			and it is bitter.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:53
			It does not have any bed, it does not have any smell. And when you taste it, it tastes better.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			It's all the Quran is a book
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			Which was not only sent for our guidance,
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			but also for us to recite it
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:15
			to get closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala through the A bagger of recitation.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			Yes, the Firaon was sent as a message for us.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			And we have to understand that message and we have to believe in it obviously.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:30
			But an important aspect to the Quran is that it is also a form of Vedanta.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:37
			In there are many Hadith, which mentioned the virtue of reciting
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says montipora a
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			mirror an inky tabula rasa
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:52
			will have to be actually I'm sorry, the whoever recites one letter of the Quran
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:59
			he gains 101 has an A is equal to 10
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:06
			law of Hulu Alif Lam in health when I can any phone health
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:20
			while I'm on health for me make sure he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, I don't say that Alif Lam.
Meem is one letter, but rather each one is a letter. Meaning when you recite
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:26
			Alif Lam mean how many has enough did you gain just by saying law 30
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:42
			Anna, for in the who yet to multi Amati sheffey on the Hobbesian recite dhokra for will come the
Koran will come on the day of judgment
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:52
			to intercede on our behalf to recite it and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says you call me
sokoban for an
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:59
			Iraq war turkey work till Khurana work till Cana Quinta
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:07
			Phil dunia for England and zillah Taka for indemand Zilla Tucker, he I think
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:17
			he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says it will be said to the recital of the Quran on the Day of
Judgment recite
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			and Ryan's
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:27
			recite and elevate rise, meaning your ranking gender
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:46
			every tire that you read, you will keep on rising in gender. And then he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said he said it will be said to the to the Sahaba Quran recited the Quran, recite like you used to
recite in the dunya
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			and rise and elevate
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			for the last level agenda will be
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:07
			at the last hour that you recite. So all these all these Hadees shows the virtues of reciting the
Quran memorizing the Quran.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:13
			And so in this parable that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gives us
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:18
			he categorizes the people into four camps
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			with regards to recitation of
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			we have four groups here.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			The first are the believers
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:37
			who used to recite concepts they will always receive in before
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			the second or the believers
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:49
			who never used to recite or rarely, they would rarely pick up the Quran and recite
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:56
			the third group or those are the hypocrites or the evil people
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			who recite the Quran
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			and the fourth group or the hypocrites or the evil people, wicked people
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			who do not recite the Quran at all
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			or rarely.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:19
			So let us look at each one of these groups the first the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:25
			He compares the believer who constantly is reciting the Quran. He compares him to
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:34
			tujuh which is the Citrine it is basically a large, fragrant, citrus fruit
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			like the lemon the orange
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			but it is different
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:43
			and it is huge.
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			And it smells really nice.
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			And it also has a very thick peel
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			and it's yellow in color.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			And so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam says that this fruit is
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			Smells nice.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:03
			And it tastes good.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08
			So it has a very nice fragrance. And
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:13
			when you eat it, it tastes sweet and very delicious.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			And it also has many nutritional benefits to it.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:25
			It's used in many traditional medicines, this particular fruit.
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			So likewise, the believer
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:32
			who constantly receives
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:42
			the sweet taste is, is it resembles his evac, as a prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tells us
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:47
			that it has a sweet taste to it. Not everyone takes it.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:53
			Only the true believers taste the sweetness of a man.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:57
			It's something when you taste you never want to give it up meaning either.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:08
			And so the believer The taste is being compared to his man. And the good smell
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			resembles him reciting
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			how, basically, when he recites
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:19
			the people around him enjoy him.
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			They benefit from
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			the angels as well. They come
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:29
			and they gather and they listen to the ones who recite the Quran.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			And so such a person is full of benefit,
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:40
			both inwardly and outwardly. inwardly, he is a man and outwardly, his recitation of the Quran.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			And as we said, it is understood from this Hadith,
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:53
			that what it means is not just merely reciting, but also acting upon it.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:58
			And so we shouldn't think that what is meant here is merely reciting.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:02
			Because that will
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04
			that will be another category.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:21
			The one who recites he's evil, meaning he doesn't act according to the Quran. So this first category
is the believer who recites and also acts, according to the Torah. The second group,
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26
			the believer who does not recycled, or rarely results,
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			he is like a date.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			These dates that we eat,
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			that tastes sweet and good.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			And it's also naturally
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			beneficial.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:47
			It's nutritionally beneficial, it has a lot of nutritional benefits.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			But it doesn't have a smell.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			And so
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:05
			this believer has, has a man and that resembles the sweetness, as we already mentioned.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			So the date is, it tastes sweet.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:14
			And this is the believer, he has a man in his arm.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			But
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:22
			But outwardly, he's not doing anything.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:31
			So outwardly, he's not reciting the Quran. So no one's benefiting. Others are not those around him
are not benefiting from him.
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			Because he's not reciting the Quran.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			And so
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			he's not benefiting people around him like,
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			like the first group.
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:49
			Those who recite and so others around them are benefiting.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:14:02
			And this does not mean that he doesn't act according to the Quran. No, he's a believer. And he acts
according to the Quran according to what he can
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:08
			in that, how do we understand that the sweetness of a man in his heart
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:13
			because he man is not just something in the heart but
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:16
			it has to show outward.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			Eman does not translate to faith
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			because faith is just something inside your heart.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:41
			And so according to Andrew sunova. Generic Eman consists of three components. If one of them is
missing, a person doesn't have a man. The first is belief with the heart. The second is to verbally
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:48
			to verbally pronounce that belief in the Shahada. And thirdly, to act.
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:55
			A person who does not do anything that's required of him, he doesn't pray. He doesn't fast he
doesn't do anything.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			And he's not a believer. So here
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:09
			This second group are the believers who do act, but they don't recycle. So there is benefit from
them.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:16
			When you eat the date you benefit from it. It tastes sweet. It has nutritional benefits to it.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:25
			But it doesn't have fragrance. So those around are not benefiting because he's not reciting the
Quran,
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			the third group
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			or the mafia goon, and
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:37
			as we mentioned in another narration aliphatic, the wicked person
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			who does recite the Quran,
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:42
			who does recite the Quran?
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			And so the hypocrites
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:57
			who are they? They are those who conceal Kufa in their hearts, their kuffaar inwardly. But
outwardly, they showed the Muslims that they are one of them.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:05
			And the fougere the wicked and evil person.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:11
			He could recite the Quran, why not? And he could recite it constantly.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:16
			And this refers to
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:20
			people who are evil internally, but outwardly.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			They want to show off their reputation.
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			but inwardly they're evil.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:35
			resembles these people to the plant.
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			The plant which is called What did we say?
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			Or Rihanna?
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:46
			Or Rihanna.
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:56
			It's basically the basil. The sweet basil, they call it in English, the sweet basil. And it's
basically a tender plant
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			that is used in many cuisines
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			in many dishes International.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:13
			And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, it tastes bitter.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			But it smells nice.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			If you eat it, it's bitter.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:33
			But when you smell it, it has a nice, it has a nice smell. So the hypocrite internally he has no
Eman. He doesn't have the sweetness of inner.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			So he is bitter.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			But outwardly.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:44
			He shows off his good outwardly, it seems as if
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:50
			he is doing good. And so in the context of this Hadith,
		
00:17:52 --> 00:18:01
			what is that good smell. It's him reciting the Quran. So others around him do benefit from it from
his recitation.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04
			It doesn't matter who recites
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:11
			you could be moved, even if a hypocrite or an evil person was to recycle.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:14
			It could move you
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:21
			Or perhaps you will contemplate over what's being recited
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:23
			to the board.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:29
			And so you are benefiting from his recitation. So that is the good smell.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:35
			The fourth and last category, the hypocrite or the wicked person
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:38
			who does not recite,
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:45
			or rarely, rarely recite. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam likened him to
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:48
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			Alhamdulillah is a plant.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:59
			In English, they call it the colo symptom. Column since it is basically
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			a desert plant, it grows in the desert.
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:11
			And it resembles watermelons, but smaller.
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			And it's very hard.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:18
			And
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:23
			the pope inside it's better not like the watermelon.
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:41
			And so the hypocrite is likewise internally, no emotion, no sweetness of emotion. And as long as he
is not doing any good deeds, he's not reciting the Quran, then
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:47
			no one's benefiting. No, no good fragrance is coming from him.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:58
			And so, these are the four. These are the four categories that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam mentions the point that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was meeting here
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			was to emphasize
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:12
			that the Quran it has an impact has an effect on a person both inwardly and outwardly.
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:19
			And how some people, they get the highest degree of that benefit.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:28
			And others, they don't get any benefit from it. They're not they don't, they're not gaining anything
at all from it.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			And others in between.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:33
			Others in between.
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:41
			So among the lessons that we learned from this very beautiful parable is
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:49
			firstly, the virtue the virtue of being a constant recite or of the Quran.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:57
			For those who constantly recite the Quran,
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:06
			whether from the must have or from memory, it's always on their tongue. They are a lot of special
people on earth.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:36
			They are a lot of special people on earth, for the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, in
lillahi, in Melilla, Halina meanness, Allah has special people, who, you know, they are his people
from among mankind. So the companions asked metacam yasutaka, who are they? So the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, whom
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:37
			any
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:40
			hospital
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			they are the people of the Quran.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:49
			They are the people of the Quran, the people of a lot and those closest to him.
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:53
			And so if we want to be from among those people,
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			then we need to take the Koran seriously.
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:05
			Not just picking it up in the month of Ramadan. Unfortunately, that's the reality of most Muslims
today.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			The only time they know the Quran,
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:12
			and they give it any attention in their lives, is in Ramadan.
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:19
			And then once Ramadan is over, they put it back on the shelf. And they don't go back to it until
next Ramadan.
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:32
			Among the lessons that we learn from this heartbeat is that what is meant by the reciter of the
Quran is not merely reciting it.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:37
			But combining between recitation
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:40
			understanding,
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			to double reflecting and pondering over the verses
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:51
			and most importantly, acting upon what we are reciting.
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:56
			Because there's no benefit if you're going to recite, but
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:01
			your actions are completely contrary to what Allah has revealed in the Quran.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			The third lesson that we learned is that
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:14
			recitation of the Quran, it leaves a print, it leaves its mark on the person who recites
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			and so it increases your email.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:21
			It gives you serenity.
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			It gives you a peace of mind.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:31
			And that's why Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			He describes those who
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37
			turn away from the Quran
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:45
			or he tells us what he does to those who turn away from the Quran. Woman out of line victory for in
Allahumma Tonka
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:58
			that whoever turns away from my remembrance, and what that means is you're an whoever turns away
from the Quran. That for him is a wretched life.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:01
			He's gonna live a miserable life.
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:03
			And so we're saying the Quran,
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:06
			it takes away that misery from you.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:16
			And I'm sure all of us have experiences that when you know, times are not the best for us. And we
turn to the book of Allah.
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:20
			Sitting down reciting, reciting it
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			for hours on end,
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:30
			it gives us a peace of mind. It makes those worries and that misery to go away.
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:37
			Also, it gives a person Baraka in his life.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:40
			Those who recite
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:45
			a portion of the Quran every morning, the rest of the day is filled with Baraka
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:53
			and it also elevates your status, both in this life and the next in this life.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:55
			You become
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00
			from among a lot of special people as we
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01
			mentioned and afterwards,
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:12
			as we mentioned in the Hurry, every area that you recite you elevate yourself. And so you elevate.
Your status is elevated
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:15
			both in this life and in the next.
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:23
			The next lesson that we learned is that in this parable is a warning
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			for those who abandon the craft
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:33
			for those who abandon and that includes abandoning its reputation
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:41
			and so abandoning the Quran does not only mean turning away not believing in the Quran
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:55
			or not acting according to the Quran, but also it includes not reciting it, not trying to understand
it, not reflecting over it. All of these are included in abandoning the
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:01
			loss of Hannah who attalla says regarding the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:03
			baccardo rasuluh.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:06
			Jacobi in
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:10
			Wakanda rasuluh era be in a coma,
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:18
			or Anima Dora, the prophet said along it was sort of a complaint to Allah, that my Lord, my people
have taken this course
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:21
			as something that they have abandoned.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:24
			That was obviously referring to
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:27
			the mushy Kunal, correct.
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:31
			But as a scholar, say,
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			this verse is,
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:55
			is more general than just not believing in the craft, but rather it needs to abandon its
presentation to abandon its teachings to abandon, you know, trying to understand it and so on and so
forth. And this parable emphasizes that, because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:58
			mentioned the one who really respects
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			if he is a believer, than he is like the date
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:06
			that tastes wheat, but
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:10
			does not give any nice smell. And if he is a monastic,
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:12
			then
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:16
			and he doesn't recite the Quran, then he is late, as we mentioned, that plant
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:21
			Finally, among the lessons that we learned from this Hadith,
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:24
			and this is
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:33
			this is something very, very deep if we were to ponder over this parable that the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam gave us
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			I want us to ponder here.
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:43
			Why did the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam choose specifically
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:45
			these plants?
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:47
			or
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			Why did he choose
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:59
			these two plants for the believers and these other two plants for the moon?
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:04
			Think about it.
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08
			The believer is compared to
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:11
			we said the
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			troja which is the Citron
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:22
			which is a citrus kind of fruit like the lemon, the orange and it grows on trees.
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:27
			And the date also grows on trees.
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:31
			The moon effect was compared to
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:34
			we said
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:38
			the basil and
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:44
			and Alhamdulillah and
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:49
			of Rihanna me and Kamala,
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:53
			or Rihanna is the basil. And,
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:58
			and humbler is the column
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:02
			which we said is similar to
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:06
			a watermelon. And it grows like vines
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:11
			like watermelons, they grow on vines, like the pumpkin.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:14
			They spread out on the ground
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:18
			on
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:26
			exactly
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:35
			the two fruits that resemble the believer, they grow on trees.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			They grow on trees and they're sweet.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:41
			And
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:43
			this shows us that the believer
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			is elevated high.
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:51
			Whereas a lunatic he's compared to these two plants that grow on the ground.
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:57
			And so this shows us the high status of the believer
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			and also it shows us
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:04
			It shows us his deeds
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:08
			because our deeds
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:17
			are basically the fruit of our email, the fruit of our email are our deeds and our deeds get taken
up to
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:23
			La Jolla saddle kalama well Anna salehoo your
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:38
			to Allah ascend good words, whatever good words they go up to a lot and Amala solid, the good deed
raises it causes it to go up and and the fruits on the trees they are
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:41
			whereas
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:50
			what resembles the moon effect is what is lying on the ground as if his deeds are worthless.
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:58
			And they're not going to be accepted by Allah subhana wa tada and they will remain on the ground
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:01
			and will go up to almost parallel with
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:04
			it. So this is the parable
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:07
			of those who were saved.
