mario brothers and sisters the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:01:34--> 00:01:38

used to remind the people in the various gatherings that he would have with them

00:01:39--> 00:01:40

through nothing but the Quran.

00:01:42--> 00:01:43

This Quran

00:01:44--> 00:01:45

there is a Shiva,

00:01:47--> 00:01:52

a cure for everything, as a loss of hair and what Allah says, Yeah, you

00:01:54--> 00:01:54

could

00:01:56--> 00:01:58

become washy for

00:02:00--> 00:02:01

all mankind.

00:02:02--> 00:02:17

And admonition a reminder has come to you from your Lord. And also a sheath that a cure for what is within the chests, our hearts. And among that which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam

00:02:18--> 00:02:21

would frequently remind the people with

00:02:23--> 00:02:25

is a surah in the Quran

00:02:26--> 00:02:27

that he would receive for them

00:02:28--> 00:02:30

in his homeless

00:02:31--> 00:02:36

in the hotbed of Juma as well as on occasions

00:02:37--> 00:02:38

in the eighth hotbed

00:02:40--> 00:02:45

and so, this is a surah that tells us about the beginning of our creation

00:02:48--> 00:02:49

that tells us about our end

00:02:51--> 00:02:54

and that tells us about our resurrection.

00:02:56--> 00:02:57

And the final about

00:03:00--> 00:03:03

me Sham didn't hear it or the Allahu Allah says

00:03:05--> 00:03:06

I didn't learn

cough will Khurana Majeed

00:03:11--> 00:03:20

except through the mouth of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in his hood verse when he would address the people.

00:03:21--> 00:03:30

And so if this is a surah, that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would choose out of all of the suitors of the Quran

00:03:31--> 00:03:38

then it is vital upon us to reflect over the surah and it's

00:03:40--> 00:03:43

Allah subhanho wa Taala starts off

00:03:44--> 00:03:46

with the Quran emoji

Bella ijebu and Joe moon zero minimum for kollel curfew una

00:03:56--> 00:04:02

swears by the Quran and then tells us of the Kufa who the Quran was revealed to you

00:04:03--> 00:04:08

that they were astonished when a warner came from among them.

00:04:09--> 00:04:14

They were surprised how can a messenger have come to us as a human being.

00:04:16--> 00:04:19

And so Allah subhanahu wa tada tells us

00:04:20--> 00:04:23

either mitzner Hakuna to Robin

00:04:27--> 00:04:31

What did these gophers say? Right away Allah brings our attention

00:04:33--> 00:04:48

to the resurrection. That they denied that it is believed in. They said how can we be brought back to life after we were destined booms? This is something impossible. And then Allah subhanho wa Taala refutes them

00:04:49--> 00:04:50

refutes them

00:04:52--> 00:04:59

by reminding them of his knowledge. So awesome. Head over to Allah says I live in an atom

console or domain one wonder Nikita

00:05:04--> 00:05:06

we know what on earth each of them

00:05:07--> 00:05:25

do think that Allah subhanahu attell is aware that you have become dust and booms and that he doesn't know how to bring you back to life. And then after that Allah subhanho wa Taala turns their attention to the power of Allah Subhana who was

00:05:26--> 00:05:27

in his creation

00:05:29--> 00:05:49

Flm yanbu Eros center ek for benina was a Yana Rouge, well, my dinner and so Allah subhana wa tada mentions one after the other, one sign in the last creation after the other, look at the heavens above you

00:05:50--> 00:05:57

how they are structured, how they have no rifts look at this earth and how it is spread. Oh,

00:05:58--> 00:06:15

look at the ring and how Allah sends it down, bringing to life, the earth, bringing forth the vegetation. After all of this, Allah subhanahu wa tada says, What are you gonna be he belt at a meter, Canada legal hooroo

00:06:17--> 00:06:35

this rain that we sent down from the sky, with it through it, we bring back the dead life. We bring back the dead Earth, back to life, Canada legal hooroo and that is how we will bring you back to life.

00:06:36--> 00:06:39

And then after that Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions

00:06:40--> 00:06:45

what he did with the previous nations, who also disbelieved in their messenger

00:06:47--> 00:06:48

in the people of North

00:06:49--> 00:06:51

Africa and the mood.

00:06:52--> 00:06:54

And what tells us what he did with them.

00:06:59--> 00:07:13

Every single one of them disbelieved in their messengers, and so the warning of alarm was fulfilled. And that was almost threat of punishment. And then Allah subhanho wa Taala brings their attention back once again

00:07:14--> 00:07:18

to the fact that bringing life

00:07:20--> 00:07:24

back resurrection is nothing difficult for a law.

00:07:26--> 00:07:38

Bill, how can a well, Bill home fee Levison mean, hulking God? Is it impossible for us? Was it impossible for us

00:07:39--> 00:07:46

to bring them to life in the first place? Meaning that to create us from nothing

00:07:48--> 00:07:59

is more difficult than to bring us back to life after we were once created, although for a lot, nothing is impossible.

00:08:00--> 00:08:03

After that was a partner who attended turns our attention.

00:08:05--> 00:08:25

He turns our attention to when he first created us and the fact that he knows us better than anyone else. Even better than ourselves. what occurred Hanukkah in Santa Ana Ala Moana to a Swiss will be enough so

00:08:26--> 00:08:29

when I flew to LA he may have been worrying.

00:08:30--> 00:08:31

So we created man.

00:08:33--> 00:08:36

Allah tells us that He created us. And we know

00:08:38--> 00:08:40

what man whispers to himself

00:08:41--> 00:09:17

your inner thoughts that no other person has knowledge of. Allah knows when he lay him in hablan worried and we are closer to him than his own jugular vein, this vein, that if it was to be cut, that's the end. It is the one vein that if you were to cut it, it is the end of the person. This cause of tfcc it has two meanings one that Allah is closer to us than this or that the angels of death are closer to us.

00:09:19--> 00:09:21

Then our own jugular vein

00:09:22--> 00:09:24

and then Allah subhana wa tada tells us

00:09:26--> 00:09:28

bringing our attention

00:09:29--> 00:09:33

to the fact that each and every single one of us in this life

00:09:34--> 00:09:36

has two angels with them.

00:09:37--> 00:09:43

00:09:44--> 00:09:48

nail fiumi Colin Illallah de rocky buena hottie

00:09:50--> 00:09:59

this human being, even though without his knowledge of what he does have what he says, of his own inner thoughts.

00:10:00--> 00:10:05

Even then Allah has appointed two angels, one to the right one to the left.

00:10:06--> 00:10:33

Each one of these angels is observing and ready to do what to record to record our actions and to record each and every single one of our statements. Then Allah subhana wa tada reminds us, he reminds us of our end and what we will go through at those final moments, what Socrates will know till

00:10:34--> 00:10:34

the

00:10:37--> 00:10:40

end the pangs, the anguish,

00:10:42--> 00:10:48

the pains of death will come in truth. That is what you

00:10:50--> 00:10:58

was trying to escape from. That is what you are trying to avoid your entire life. But now the time has come.

00:10:59--> 00:11:04

Then Allah subhanho wa Taala turns our attention to our state

00:11:05--> 00:11:13

when we are resurrected, and so Allah subhanho wa Taala says, When only half so there alica Yeoman ye

00:11:14--> 00:11:16

and the trumpet will be blue,

00:11:18--> 00:11:25

meaning the trumpet when it is blue, each and every single one of us will rise from our Grier's

00:11:27--> 00:11:27

will jack

00:11:29--> 00:11:31

ma Hi sir.

00:11:32--> 00:11:36

Masha here. And so when we're all resurrected on that day,

00:11:37--> 00:11:41

naked, barefoot, in a state of shock,

00:11:43--> 00:11:45

all of a sudden we have two angels.

00:11:46--> 00:11:49

One who is pushing us,

00:11:51--> 00:12:00

pushing us to the land, the place in which we will all be brought to account the land of

00:12:01--> 00:12:12

the second angel to stand there on that day to be a witness. Sir, he couldn't Russia he. And then Allah subhana wa tada tells us

00:12:14--> 00:12:25

of how we were in this dunya concerning this reality that is fast approaching local, you couldn't have you left let him in hada cerca chef now

00:12:27--> 00:12:29

for bozo Kelly Oh howdy

00:12:32--> 00:12:39

you are heatless office this reality of death and what comes after death in the dunya

00:12:40--> 00:12:45

you were negligent you are heedless, attached to your dunia

00:12:46--> 00:12:49

allowing your knifes and the dunya

00:12:50--> 00:12:58

to deceive you, to distract you from this reality. And you had a veil over your eyes,

00:13:00--> 00:13:02

obstructing you to see properly

00:13:04--> 00:13:04

see what

00:13:05--> 00:13:09

see the reality of death and what comes after death.

00:13:10--> 00:13:23

And so on this de facto shift now, because we thought on this day, we have lifted this veal from your eye and so on this day, your sight is sharp.

00:13:26--> 00:13:30

Nothing is preventing you from from seeing and witnessing this reality.

00:13:32--> 00:13:36

That in the dunya you are obscure to

00:13:37--> 00:13:41

me. So after that Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us

00:13:42--> 00:13:43

of the witness.

00:13:45--> 00:13:52

Our angel that was with us in this dunya will call a Kareena who had melodiya it

00:13:53--> 00:14:10

and so his companion will come on that day. Who is his companion here? It is his witness that was recording his deeds. Every single one of them. He will say here I have it ready Oh Allah.

00:14:11--> 00:14:17

Here it is his book of deeds. It is ready in my hands.

00:14:18--> 00:14:20

And then it will be sent

00:14:26--> 00:14:30

through into the Hellfire every stubborn coffee.

00:14:31--> 00:14:35

And then after that, another companion will come.

00:14:36--> 00:14:40

Call Kareena robina meltaway to

00:14:41--> 00:14:43

wala Kim, can you remember

00:14:44--> 00:14:47

this time? Another companion comments

00:14:49--> 00:14:53

our companion from the jinn who accompany us in this dunya

00:14:54--> 00:14:58

who is telling us to do evil who would push us

00:15:00--> 00:15:04

to disobey Allah subhanho wa Taala our shaitan will come.

00:15:06--> 00:15:10

And he will disassociate himself from us on that day,

00:15:11--> 00:15:13

just like at least did

00:15:14--> 00:15:21

when he disassociated himself and fled from the comfort of kurush on the day of murder.

00:15:22--> 00:15:31

And so that is the nature of shaitan to flee into run away when he sees a punishment of a loss of Hannah, who was Donna,

00:15:32--> 00:15:41

and then a loss of Hannah who attended intervenes, call Allah, Toshi moolah de Vaca, decode them to LA Camilla, he

00:15:42--> 00:15:44

do not dispute before me on this day.

00:15:47--> 00:15:54

Because in the dunya, I already warned you of this day. Now you only Lydia

00:15:56--> 00:15:59

will now be one Matt and Aviva lamb in the lobby.

00:16:01--> 00:16:04

No word will change on this day.

00:16:05--> 00:16:23

Meaning the promise of Allah will be fulfilled on that D, Gemma for the righteous Hellfire for the disobedient, this promise of a law will not change not because of what is unjust, will neither be phenomenal.

00:16:25--> 00:16:37

I am not unjust to my servants. And so Alice justice will be fulfilled on that day. And that is why the righteous will enter agenda

00:16:38--> 00:16:52

and the disobedient will be destined for the hellfire. And then it was a parent who paints a very disturbing picture. A very frightening scenes when he calls Gen num.

00:16:54--> 00:16:55

And addresses if

00:16:56--> 00:17:00

00:17:01--> 00:17:03

Taku helped me Miss eat.

00:17:05--> 00:17:09

On the day in which we will ask Hellfire

00:17:10--> 00:17:11

Have you become full?

00:17:12--> 00:17:23

Are you satisfied? And so the response of Hellfire will be are there more? Do you have any more for me to eat up?

00:17:24--> 00:17:26

And then Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us

00:17:28--> 00:17:35

of the righteous and your final abode? Well, it was leafa telogen. To limit Athena.

00:17:38--> 00:17:39

00:17:47--> 00:17:51

not just for the Muslims, who claim to be Muslims in this dunya

00:17:52--> 00:18:11

not those who said we have a man in our hurt, don't judge me by my actions. But those who are conscious of a law that people have took one who had a man in their hearts, and took what in their hearts, but it manifested in their actions.

00:18:15--> 00:18:32

To aduna only been happy. This is the promise of a law for the ones who turned to him and those who guard the boundaries of a law. Mihashi or Ramana vilavi those who feared a law

00:18:33--> 00:18:35

who feared a law when

00:18:37--> 00:18:52

when they were by themselves in the hype when no one else was around. What do they need? And the one who comes to a lot on that day with a repentant heart. What will I say to them? Oh do Hulu happy Santa

Allah, Allah Allah Allahu Allah.

00:20:08--> 00:20:13

Muhammad in Abu Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi

00:20:15--> 00:20:34

Diem for Taku arriba de la Rosa Tobago. What are your law? What are pseudo in quantum meaning? My dear brothers and sisters towards the end of this magnificent surah Allah subhana wa tada reminds us of the power

00:20:35--> 00:20:36

of this reminder.

00:20:38--> 00:20:45

In Luffy, Daddy kinda decry. Lemon can Allahu Allah, Oh Allah somehow

00:20:46--> 00:20:48

in this reminder,

00:20:49--> 00:21:33

in this meaning in this Torah is a reminder for who for the one who has a heart and for the one who listen and for the one who pays attention, and so there are four conditions required for anyone who wants to benefit from this reminder. The first is that it has to be a beneficial reminder, a decra and there is no better reminder than the Quran. The second condition is a place for this reminder to settle into and that is the heart, the mind can Allah who called and the third condition is

00:21:34--> 00:21:39

that it has to be through listening to the faculty of hearing.

00:21:42--> 00:21:49

And the fourth condition is that it has to be not just listening, not just hearing, but paying attention.

00:21:51--> 00:22:03

Somehow who has Shaheed he is attentively listening. And then Allah subhanho wa Taala in the very last sentence of the surah. He concludes by saying

00:22:04--> 00:22:36

that Kia will Karani mean you're halfway, just like a wasp Jordy the surah with mention of the Quran, Goff will Quran Majeed, our ends by mentioning the Quran for that clear, Bill Quran, me Hathaway. So remind through the Quran, for who who should you remind those who fear the warning of punishment.

00:22:38--> 00:22:42

And so this is sort of off that the Prophet sallallahu how he was sending them

00:22:43--> 00:23:26

What do I say, in its entirety, in his hookworms in the gatherings. So we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to make us from among those who hear such words and they follow that up with action. Alone, never feel a little Muslim ina one Muslim at me, Nina, me not even human.
