My dear respected brothers and sisters in Islam as Salam alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
I'm your host, Corinne, Abu Zaid, coming to you live from Denver, Colorado
and
unfortunately brothers and sisters in Islam our YouTube channel was suspended today
some brothers are saying it was hacked we
we reported the matter to
the
YouTube and hopefully they will find a way
to get us back the YouTube channel inshallah. But until this happens, I'm really asking you kindly to
do your best to let the world go around about the ma'am Karima was a Facebook page. Because unfortunately, this is the only platform we have right now to
to go live on. So I'm asking you, in sha Allah to do your best with the night Allah to
let the people know about the Facebook page.
Imam Karima was eight
and hopefully we'll get
our channel back for the brothers in YouTube.
To work with us in sha Allah, Allah
I know some of you like Facebook which is you know, justified.
But this is the only platform I have now. Unfortunately, for the time being, which is okay, inshallah.
Today, brothers and sisters in Islam, I just want to make sure that you you hear me well.
Do you hear me while everybody?
everybody hears me well, inshallah. Okay.
I think what we need to do at this stage is
simply try to let the people know about the Facebook page. And
hopefully this will get us
a lot of
viewers inshallah,
of course, we were going to have to work with YouTube
until we figure out, you know, what they want us to do to be able to get the channel back because of the hacking.
Today, brothers and sisters in Islam, we have a very interesting
subject, which I have been teaching for the last
maybe year.
A series I called it the higher aim
the higher aims of the Quran.
The secret behind this particular
theory is
you look at a chapter of the Quran
and you go through it, and then you try to
produce one aim for the whole chapters.
And you try to assemble the verses the ayat within the chapter in light of that, Heidi.
So let me repeat this again. What do we mean by the higher aim? The higher aims
at lavo.
What do we mean by the higher aim? That's my son, I'm sorry. We mean by the higher aim is the
at each chapter, I mean, let me let me ask you this question.
What if you get a heartbeat? Somebody who gives a football who goes on
and he talks for an hour
without even identifying the subject of his football?
Without telling you the title of his speech, what is he speaking about? He goes right and left him. What will you say about
The speaker, unrevealed.
Likewise, brothers and sisters in Islam, the chapters of the Quran, each chapter had an aim
a purpose behind its revelation, and this is why it was put together.
Otherwise,
Allah subhanho wa Taala would not have divided the Koran into 114 chapters.
If each chapter doesn't have its own message, if its own doesn't have its own aim,
then what is the wisdom behind calling this chapter in Bukhara? And then it has a beginning and it has an end,
calling it lm Ron, it has a beginning it has an end. Obviously, the purpose is not there. And that's the point I'm trying to make there is no
need for that the Quran would have been just one block of fire yet.
Now
the question that should worry you Is it something that is new, I'm talking about something new, no.
This particular trim thing was included in the classical books of the seas.
But it was not given the individual attention. Like if you need to assume the god the property which is the mother of all that FSC are basically
already look at that you'll find them talking about a higher aim of this chapter and a higher a, but contained within their own FRC are the types of deficit analytic FC, subjective f C's, these are types of seed. Now, they included that type within what we're doing in this series is we're only emphasizing that particular trending of the season.
And there is a need for that because people don't have the time to go over verse by verse. And the benefit of of this particular type of theft says that when you read a chapter in light of that higher aim, you will understand the verse in light of that higher aim. Now, this is a little introduction that I wanted to go over, because I really would like you to get attracted to this subject because it has to do with the karate it has to do with understanding the Quran has to do with understanding the Quran.
Before I go into the chapter, which we have tonight, which is chapter number 16. It's called the National solar to knock the honey bee or it has another name, which is similar to neon.
It has actually another name which has Seurat or neon while the solar two neon,
the chapter of the bounties because Allah Subhana Allah mentioned so many bounties in this chapter out of this world, unbelievable. The amount of bounties which Allah Subhana Allah mentioned in this particular chapter, the question that I wanted to answer before I go there, into this chapter and explain it to you in 30 minutes, maybe 45 minutes imagine you will have a chance to understand 128 verses is a long chapter in Nashville is not one of the
short chapters in 35 minutes I'll give you basically I'm trying to give you a MapQuest
a roadmap to go into the solar either left and try to navigate, and every verse will fall in its place, as you will see in sha Allah.
I'm going to ask you to open your own Quran as we go over this. So go grab your Quran in any language that you want, because I want you to understand,
as I take on answering this question, how do we trigger the higher aim?
how someone I mean, you can make up stuff. So the higher aim has to be something which is built in the chapter you cannot make up an aim, basically, which is not part of the religion. You can come and say, well, the higher aim of this chapter is democracy. He can do that because we know that democracy has nothing to do with Islam.
You can come up with with an aim of tolerance in the know. So the higher aim has to be triggered by a substantial evidence within the chapter.
A crystal clear how do you trigger that the name of the chapter
is a variable.
The beginning of the chapter, the ending of the chapters, the stone is mentioned in the chapters. The store is mentioned in the chapters the
the
the time for the Revelation
the period and this is why brothers and sisters in Islam the other subject which we teach every I think, was a Sunday or Sunday with each the Sierra I can't remember Sunday, we teach the sealer is a key to understand the Quran.
And remember when we spoke about why the Sierra we said because without the seal, I cannot understand the Quran because, and this is why one of the things which you must ask yourselves, before you recite a chapter of the Quran, or before you read a chapter with the intention. You see people reading chapters, sometimes with different intentions, they just want to read some Quran, so he can get somebody would love. The idea is to understand the idea is to
take the Quran into action. And the only way you can do this if you understand the message out there.
One of the first things that you should ask where this chapter was revealed, was it Mecca, or Medina, because it makes a big difference. We know the Quran is a unique script in the area of its revelation. And
all the previous books were revealed all at once. But the Quran was revealed in 23 years and two months to be accurate here. And these chapters,
a lot of them these verses and chapters, they do have a reason what we know by what is known by the reason for the revelation, something happens, the companions they do something and then gibreel comes down with the message with the answer. Do not do it's good. No, let's fix that. Let's do that. And this becomes a criteria
by which you understand the verse, by which you understand the verb inshallah. So hopefully you got your plan, I got my Quran right here, Mashallah. And the language which I understand which is Arabic, we're going to open chapter number 16, it's called the honeybee which is solid enough insha Allah as we go over the surah which you're gonna enjoy it Miller he got chapter inaka, right here chapter nine. Right here it's a beautiful chapter or the honeybee again,
another name which the this chapter is known by in Nam. If you look here, solar to natural or solar to neon, what is a neon means in Nam is the plural of bounty. Nana is one bounty, Neon is the plural of bounties.
Now, what higher aim that we chose for this chapter.
The lordship of Allah
necessitates his worship.
So that's that, why, why did we do this?
Because Allah subhana wa tada in this chapter is reminding us of what he did for you. He created you, he provided for you.
He gave you all these types of why? Look at verse 81. Just jump into 81 and look at the ending of this verse.
Kevin
Manya Mehta,
come to me moon, Thus does Allah perfect his bounties upon you or him to you. So that you may become Muslims, you may recognize who created you.
You see,
you need to understand this. Allah subhanho wa Taala always
does this. Allah subhana wa tada almost does this. He uses his bounty
as
a foundation to request his worship.
He uses his little chip to demand your wish.
All right. Let's move to the next slide in Sharla and
carry on. Again, like I said, I do want to make this long because I want you to be focused here. Okay, here is our agenda. We normally have an agenda here, I normally do that inshallah. We're going to have an introduction, the period of revelation again, that's a key, one of the actually
highest
potential
to deduce
a higher aim of a chapter is to know when it was revealed.
And if you know exactly when it was revealed to not just Mackie, which stage of McKee, secret stage
bublik stage
or the stage when the Prophet salallahu alaihe salam was trying to find another place for the Dow.
It helps a lot.
The theory of Revelation, of course, the higher aim I already shared that with you that Allah Subhana Allah tala listed so many bounties and after each bounty, he asked me that question, why do you associate someone in OSHA with me?
Why
am I giving you that? I am the one who broke down the water I'm the one who given you the life I'm the one who given you the wolf. Why do you go worship someone else?
A question always, always. And then Allah tells you
why do you also and another area? Why do you misuse my boundaries? If I give you money? Why do you go and open a liquor store with it?
I'm giving you money to establish my religion on Earth. Why do you go and open the liquor store? Why do you do that?
You shouldn't do that.
Why do you go on and and and publish haraam stuff on the internet? To to invite people to in the senses? Why?
Why do you use your your your your health, your strength to beat up people?
Why do you use your brain, your intelligence to trick people?
the misuse of the bounty and the consequences of this in this world and the hereafter.
Now,
the subject is about gratitude How to Be grateful gratefulness is not about
lip service. No.
And be careful here. This is why Allah subhana wa Taala rules brothers and sisters in Islam that few work colleagues de Lune fue waka de la min a baddie a Shaku only few of my slaves are grateful, truly grateful.
Being grateful is not easy. Being grateful that means you.
You live Islam wholeheartedly.
Being grateful is not to say oh, this is from Allah. Thank you. No, that's not No, we're gonna we're gonna say we're gonna explain to you how to be grateful because that's really the message that you see that the beautiful about the higher aim aim series of the Quran, that with each chapter, there is an action plan, there is a action item, action item that the Quran is not going to stop just at, you know, you're excited, not know, there is an action. I want to be grateful now how can I be grateful? So we're going to show you how to be grateful.
And we spoke about couple of things here which are related to five and six.
obstacles, basically avoid worldly comparison. Don't compare yourself to people who are better than you in this world. Don't don't. If you're driving a Ford don't look at
beema look at the Mercedes. Maybe you look at the Hyundai.
You know, don't look at those who are higher than you don't do that.
And also being grateful to the people around you. is a sign of being grateful to Allah subhana wa Tada. And then the pattern I call it the pattern of the chapter, Allah who would list the bounty then he would ask you why are you are associating someone in worship with me then? Why do you go worship Jesus? Did Jesus create you?
Why do you go and worship the cow the cow create you? A question? always questioning
about this, then what then comes in what?
misuse of the bounty. That's the pattern of the surah misuse that Allah gives you. You see Allah given the Arabs, the animals and then they go on they slaughter these animals, to their idols. Meanwhile, these animals should be slaughtered to Allah subhana wa tada
not
to let not to the rocks, because the rocks did not create the animals. So the misuse and the consequences, which in this world,
depression and difficult life psychologically,
not necessarily financially or materially,
physically and people may be comfortable,
physically, financially, and they have the resources but they are psychologically mentally
affected by the lack of spirituality in the lives the lack of submission. And that's the message here and the consequences of course, in the hereafter which is hell, in this world, that believers they have, they may lack some of the resources because of the limited you know, approach of obtaining these resources because they can just do anything that is haram out there and in the Hereafter, it is genuine.
inshallah Allah brothers and sisters in Islam,
then inshallah the, I'm only going to give you one pattern, one one until I think verse 36. Then I'm going to ask you to
look into the rest of the surah and provide, you know, the other segments, then Subhan Allah will always have a successful feel. Someone who's a role model, the primary Salah, the solar concluded with him in a villa he McKenna mutton.
Ibrahima acana omoton oma O'Brien was oma
Wallonia, Hanif and voila communal machine. Look at this share. Qian Li n. homie
Ibrahim Ali Salam was the best in showing gratitude to a loss of Hannah with odd. That's the successful tale which we want to follow. We want to follow his footsteps.
A lot giving him a son. Imagine this. Take that son and slay him.
Not even a word that take your wife that not even a word submission, you know submission to Allah subhana wa Tada. Then the cautionary tale which has many Islam, ie the children of Israel, the children of Israel were mentioned so much in the Quran to warn us against their baton to cushion us because they have not done well with the
unfortunately the bounties of Allah subhana wa Tada. Then Allah subhanaw taala at the very end of the surah is asking us to follow the footsteps of the successful tail, which is Ibrahim in Dawa, and patients in Sharma so this is the agenda next.
The name of the chapter in national is taken from verse 68. So you can jump to 68 now and see what the name says. What
buka Elan Napoli he been in algae. Li boo. Amina szegedi
Allah subhana wa Taala revealed or inspired that'd be
that'd be take for yourself. Take houses for yourself homes for yourself from the mountains, houses and among the trees. Now again, the swan doesn't talk about the honeybee, no, adjust.
Again, the name of the chapter nothing falls under the higher aim how
you know we sometimes belittle that
insignificant, tiny creature.
Yet Allah subhanho wa Taala subjected that kingdom, the kingdom of the honeybee to produce
a cue for mankind.
And so Pamela why lately I've been studying the how the honey is being produced and how the the bees get to eat and and their system and out of this world out of this
world and the impact that honey has, you know, and for various diseases. A couple of nights ago on on the question and answer session we were talking about the black seed with honey, you know, to hopefully protect oneself from the COVID 19 and your family
for the soul doesn't take necessarily talk necessarily about the honey as a subject, but it falls under that higher aim like look at this tiny, insignificant creature, which sometimes will be a little and, you know, here is Allah subhana wa tada is making it,
subjecting that kingdom the whole kingdom of the honey of the bees, to serve mankind to provide for mankind. So why do you go and worship someone else when Allah is the one who did this? That's the message that you're getting.
I can mention that it's it's the chapter speaks about Allah His Lordship,
which leads natural look at the second bullet, which leads naturally to his worship.
Chapter nahal is one of the late Maquis chapters that revealed some times before the Hydra
this and the previous six chapters were revealed around the same time
and here is the evidence for the 30 years of Revelation
and I'm taking this a min Bala Catalan that you always attribute from Allah modo de Rahim Allah.
There are more than one evidence inside the chapter to establish that
the chapter was revealed towards the last period in Mecca
because of verse 31, to my inner Rebecca
from back one levena Hi Joe
Lana
Hashanah
at about Luca ooyala Moon. This is in reference to those who migrated to Abba Sr.
and also the solar as if indicating that there will be a Hydra. And as for those who immigrated for the cause of Allah, after suffering oppression, we will certainly give them goodly residents in this world. But indeed the reward of the Hereafter is far greater if they knew.
This verse also clearly shows the persecution the Muslims
had and then having to actually bro nouns.
pronouns cough, look at verse number 106 in the chapter 106106 What does it say? 106. Pac Man Guevara.
Da de man he, man Oh,
man. Oh Carrie boo Toma.
Wild. Man shahabi
babuino law.
In Islam, we have a license to save your life that you can pronounce cough provided that you're forced, provided that
you're trying to save your life. Provided that you have Eman faith in your heart. Your heart is resting on that. And provided also the scholars added another restriction that you're not a famous Imam like Adam no humble, like Abu hanifa likely magmatic meaning that people will follow you if you go astray if your pronouns go for that he will say well, ma'am, so did it. So and that is why the form of a famous
public figure is a big fall for a lot of people because a lot of people unfortunately, they follow the people not the religion itself.
There is also an evidence for the prosecution. Only there is an evidence for the prosecution.
Jani Charlize
We need that.
Also there is an indication of the people of Mecca suffering because of because we know that that evil of Mecca they experienced seven years of drought.
Just look at those number
112 and 114
wha wha wha hoo masala calm eaten

tea
in Colima
Sokka Oh in reference to the people of Mecca, and Allah put forward the example of a town Mecca, because they they they face the message. And we know Allah subhanho wa Taala tested the people have maca with years of drought. And Allah is telling them look, they are suffering because you're opposing the message of Islam. So obviously now we know that this surah was revealed towards the end of the mechi period.
The higher aim, like we said, aligns lordship necessitates his worship. Let's explain that. To understand the higher aim of this chapter, which is Alliance lordship necessitates his worship, we must realize that the basis on which Allah subhana wa Taala demands us to single him out in our worship and submission is His Lordship. Now what do we mean by the Lordship and that's also another subject which we teach on Friday 808 you see that the religion is is one nit shabaka 1111 spider whip, all subjects serve into an SOP, hi, Mama, you will find all subjects of serving you to help you with other set the Quran.
All the subjects that you're studying are supposed to help you understand the message. What does allies little chip means that Allah created remember the four things four major things he created, he owns, he provides us
those four, He created you.
Don't even discuss that. Don't listen to Darwin, don't listen to evolution, He created you.
And that is why there is so much emphasis in the Quran regarding the subject of creation. And remember, this is the area where they mess up, brainstorm our children in public school. That's the one area they work on. That they somehow produce generations were the subject of creation is not
Affirmative.
It's,
you know, vague, vague.
And that is what you see, you need to understand this, the moment that you feel.
Or you you're under the impression that there are different powers in this world. your sincerity, your convection,
convection, your deduction, dedication, will have an effect.
Why? It's a big no in Islam to believe that somebody knows the unseen. Why it's a big no in Islam to believe that somebody can help you using gin. Because we're going to serve that person.
Why it's a big no that somebody should present themselves having kurama in a way kurama we believe in karma, but we shouldn't promote it. Because you may invite people actually to believe that you see the message here that you you have to conclude that everything is in the hands of a law.
Everything and that's the Lordship. Therefore, you will see the pattern of this chapter is as follows. Allah mentions to us in an array, his bounties, little small, mini or big. Then he says,
if you count these Mounties
one bounty, verse number 18, you're not going to be able to keep track of it. Then he says, the wisdom behind subjecting the universe to serve you can daddy Can you Timonium meta y la comme la la come to see moon
Thus, a lot Look at verse 81. The one that I actually placed at the very beginning of my presentation today.
Last does Allah perfect his bounties on to you, so that you may submit to Allah, but look at the other hand, Yari funa Nia, I met a lot
My own que una Look at verse ad to read ad to your ad funan Yamato la
que una so they know Allah is boundaries they know this is from Allah then they denied by worshipping others beside him
worship worshiping others beside him
if you really want to get that that that that that concept in depth
there is a chapter called the Shara with Abraham Ali Salaam went and destroyed the idols
that scene which was repeated in many other chapters but one of these chapters is a shot up Ibrahim Ali Salaam when they asked him Who's your note?
Look what he said call a coup
akumal up on the moon in Houma
Bella I mean my note is what
first he did the bar he said you know these idols which you worship, I disown them I disassociate myself with the other para la la la la la la ilaha illa illa belagavi as if they asked him who's you know, they brought him Look at this.
The Hala kaniva who is the the one who created you created me then He will guide me will give you the best bounty which is guidance. One, the
money wise
and the one who gives me food and gives me as Roger
will lead the way
and if I happen to get sick, he accused me won the Tony
anon welcome cause me to die but he will raise me up again in the Day of Judgment. What is the outcome? Oh, I feel really happy to my Dean. And I'm hoping when he raises me up in the Day of Judgment, he will forgive my shortcomings. You see, that is the load up be a lot be happily hookman while Hackney the saw him he needed one. I think we got the message here brothers and sisters in Islam. That is the Lordship
appreciating allies boundaries, Allah says and if you attempt to count allies boundaries, you will never be able to do that. That is in Surat Ibrahim, the those two verses were mentioned in Swati Brahim and in Swati na. Both of them were endowed dounia mata la de la de la suhar in a lot of a fool Rahim when in doubt do not have to have
in the internal of our lamancha for thankfulness, appreciation and sincerity in gratitude is far beyond words.
It must be actually manifested in four major areas and this is level number one the heart What do we mean by the heart
that you believe in the depth of your heart without any doubt that the one who giving you what you have is Omar?
Yeah, smile may have handed it over to me but Allah God is made to give it to me.
And you know what? I'm gonna I'm gonna save this magic Allah.
Because Allah told me if you want to be grateful to me, you have to say thank you to smile. You're getting that. But in the depths of my heart, Allah is the one who got a smile to do this for me. Who got me to lose first Mike.
So you need to be thankful to Allah you need to know. And this version was mentioned when you come in
fermina law, but just read for 5353 over what any minimum minimum bar any any small, tiny little bounties from Allah
that don't say
Harvard and because my intelligence and so forth, so that's number one, the heart does deep.
does work in a large lordship.
That's a key
to the state of Allah is the one who creates is the one who owns the one who provides the one who rules the one who gives life, the death. The one who can benefit, the one who can cause harm because what you earn the one who gives you
Live that you have the honor to raise you up in the Day of Judgment you believe all of that the one who knows the unseen
the one who's in control of the jinn the one who's controlling the evil I know I was in control of everything
you see that's why you end up serving up and that's freedom
otherwise you're going to end up serving the gin serving this serving that you're going to be very
distracted by many
deities which you have to pay service to. To obtain the peace of mind know you you have one one massive job Allahumma
Fie Soraka Amata Shakira una hora
de esta we know
that you speak of it, but be careful here. Don't speak of it in a boastful way.
speak of it to direct people to the source.
Well, I may be near Matthew up because at the end,
when you speak of allies bounty, your intention is to direct people from the source. Basically you can be like me,
you can be like me, you just have to go back to the source was the source Allah, Allah giving me that?
He just I mentioned here the example of use of Suleiman and come
you know in chapter use of which we already covered when the two inmates came to him, asking him to interpret the dreams for them. For him for them. They each one of them saw a dream and they wanted profit use of to interpret that dream for them and, and prophet Yusuf Ali salam, and they approach me in nanorod kameena mazzini we really think that you are a very special person. You're a very special person.
Look, look what he said to them. The early Kuma
lemony or B, this is what about me? I'm special because of Allah.
Look at all of them.
When Suleiman Ali Salam asked the Djinn who can bring me the throne of the queen of sheep.
So some of one of them said, a couple of hours by the time you finish your meeting, it will be here. The other one said no.
Before you blink, he did like this. And then the throne is here.
You know, what is it daddy? corner the hair diamond formula. Robbie, this is from Allah.
Leah blue and ash kurama
lukaku the richest man ever known in history.
When the people you know, were admiring him, he came up with Paula in
82. In the I got this because I'm smart. I'm intelligent. I went to Harvard. Yeah, I went to Yale. Listen, that's all means. But Oh Allah Subhana look at look at muscle pain without handler he guided me on and I got this distal hamdulillah and Allah Subhana Allah Subhana Allah and then I went to the,
to the,
the university and sapan Allah subhanho wa Taala got me to read that Professor Chapin law who really got me a lot of kind of ended up being so interested in that subject of medicine. Chapin Allah, and love it. Oh, Allah, that's what is meant by you speak with it. Not not to be boastful. Oh, I got this car
is I got this money, la, la land.
your intention is to direct people, you know,
when we go back to when I go back to Egypt, and and you know how the people in the Middle East Unfortunately, they look at America like, you know, it's it's God basically.
So, you know, the Oh, you know, I didn't I never had cars when I was before I left. And so I have a car and I have, I'm well off, you know, compared with my upbringing. And Allah Subhana Allah, He will tell you, how did you get the oh it's America.
Notice Allah mentioned Allah Subhana action that he used the bounty. That's number three. Remember, that's the action plan of this chapter. You see, that's what you need to do.
This is the I quote. This is why you're learning so thin that
this it's part of the story even though I'm not editing
The service is part of the euro allies in reminding you of these bounties so that you do this. Now, your us allies bounty in pleases Allah, I use the example of a liquor store. Imagine how many Muslims own liquor stores in America. So Allah gives you money, you go and fight alized religion in earth, you sell marijuana.
Come on.
You pay that use when it if it is occur and so forth, and we'll be delighted. And if you look at these aspects for aspects, it's the religion it's the religion if you do this, that's the whole religion inshallah. Moving forward. One of the things which comes in your way of being grateful that you always compare yourself with the people who are better than you. That's why the Prophet told you don't do that. Abu hurayrah that narrates this Hadith, that look at those look at the second bullet. Look at those who are beneath you do not look at those who are above you, for it is more suitable that you should not consider as less the blessing of Allah subhana wa. If you want to look at
someone who is better than you look at their religion. There is nothing wrong with that. Oh, he memorizes the Quran Why not me? Oh, he knows the sooner why not me. You can do that. You can do that.
Of course be thankful to the people malesko NASA Hari Krishna tirmidhi Mela is Quran look at the second bullet. A sign of appreciation
for
to Allah is that you appreciate the people who appreciate your wife, you appreciate your husband, you appreciate your family, your bedsheets, your your your father, you appreciate your mother. you're thankful to them.
you're thankful to them in our lobby tonight.
Remember the pattern now? Remember the pattern Allah who would list the bounty then the question
then the misuse, then the consequences. We're gonna only study until 36 because one until 36 it has that pattern and your assignment is to get

first allies telling you that there was a day of gentlemen
and from Panama if you read the verse number one ally use the past tense, not the future tense. You know, we don't have a future tense and an RV.
We have past and present.
But in English we don't will. That is like you say that they've just been will come in that verse sentence. Be careful because Allah says the Day of Judgment already came. Like believe it. It's gonna come like
consider already here
is not a joke, you know is not a joke.
Like the bits day is not a joke. You know? It's serious business. Then the first bounty Allah Subhana Allah mentions is the Quran the revelation
because this is the best bounty being a Muslim.
Likewise in Surah Surah man
sotera man has the same pattern like nothing by the way
a lot mentioned so many bounties in Surah Allah man
and then he comes up with the question, you know, it's exactly it's very similar better febi ie
be Kuma to can be banned
are very similar in the pattern
that of presentation
But
look at this now and sort of the rough man also. The first bounty which Allah mentioned is also the Quran
what what
holla call in the same look at look at the two and bullets three,
bullet one bullet three
bullet two very similar.
Unit zero mela

Allah, Allah to allow you to create the heavens and the earth with the truth
Chanukah
I mean not fighting for either
movie then He created man. Well Anna Hanukkah and the cattle
again better
they look at verse number
10 read number 10 water coming down. One lady.
Nina sama, mucho la bu Zhong z to see moon safarnama
look cooler today
look at 11
Look at verse 11. Guys you have to connect with the Quran guys love love the Quran. With that understanding imagine reading this analyze in your mind you of every little thing. Okay. The sun the moon things which we take for granted.
The night and the day.
Look at the see the fish, seafood, seafood. We miss seafood right? When I eat seafood, right? Huh? Right. Look at this.
Mountains to keep the earth balanced. Why we have earthquakes in Colorado? Why? Because these batteries. Why there is a lot of earthquakes in Japan because there is no mountains.
Then comes into question. So Pamela,
look at verse number 70.
You're getting it? What is the question here? What is the question?
FME
Allahu Akbar. Look at the code. Look at the Quran.
Allah made all of this now, are you going to make the one who does not create equal to the one who created What's wrong with you? That's a logical analogy. That's a intellectual question. That's reasoning. If you talk about reasoning,
are you gonna make equal the one who creates or created all of this to someone who didn't even do any of that? What's wrong with you?
Medina de la, look at verse number 20, look at 20 and those they called besides Allah,
una shalya they create nothing, nothing.
Rather they are being created.
And who creates them who creates the either you go and achieve an idol and, you know,
you're getting it. So the question right here, and then the misuse of the boundaries, and the consequences, just read until verse 36. What Allah mentions about death, the believers how their souls will be taken out and the disbelievers how their souls will be taken out and, and the misuse, I think you're getting that and the consequences. I think you're getting the baton here in Sharla. Now your homework in sha Allah via delay to Allah is to go through the surah until the end and produce that pattern, less the bounties
and then the question a lot with ask a question. Why are you misusing this, and then the consequences, that's your assignment inshallah, which I'm going to give to you. Now at the end of the surah. Allah subhanaw taala giving us two examples.
Just look at verse number 120. We're almost done here. In a
ponytail.
Found one Amir gumina machinery key. Indeed, Ibrahim was a nation a leader giving you know a primary salary for was was was out of this world, a nation.
righteous in qualities obedient to Allah. Worship none but Allah subhana wa Tada. Look at number 21 121 What did he do? Oh, that's it. Shakira Li n omy he was grateful. He was grateful. And how did he manifest that great gratitude, inaction. He believe it's from Allah.
He believes that no one can harm him but
no one can cause harm upon him But who do you believe came to him and said no, has to be Allah? Milwaukee has to be among us mamajuana Milwaukee now you
have to be a loved one Mr. Wilkie
right.
Almost spoke about allies boundaries.
I think the message is clear.
The cautionary tale dimension of a Sabbath in
service that's just one example sort of
detail
what Benny is raised in slough Erica, what color not color
that's a cautionary tale
that we should not adopt.
You know, they they want it today where they worship Allah they go on Daybreak that that that that promise that's not being grateful to Allah you supposed to serve especially when you want to trick a lot like a lot of Muslims do now. You know, they want to trick a lot they go and do usery with trickery and unlike like the children of Israel done with their with fishing on a day that they are not supposed to fish for the cautionary tale. They look brothers and sisters in Islam at the very end of the verse Now, which is the action plan now 125 and 3124 vs. Although Isla de la de cabel Hekmati. abati Casa

This is the veteran brothers and sisters in Islam of the soul. Imagine we explained the surah in that's when you're assigned that chapter with that understanding in mind, you're going to enjoy it, you're going to enjoy it.

Wa.
So, we have a question here. Some people think they have a license to backbite those who are
who are open sinners, is that true?
The
the license, you know, to back by someone who openly sins
is really tied to your intention, you know, we need to take these
licenses or
like having to back by somebody
with a very,
you know, careful in a very careful way. That's what I mean, you have to be extremely careful Why? Because your intention must be good. So, if you're backbiting somebody who's sitting, you're running against, that's your tribe, people not to take him as a role model. But you're not trying to take down the person. That's not the intention here.
In a way you're trying to get people to don't listen to this to him because he does that, you know, if this is your intention, that's fine.
But again, what if you try to help that person become a better person and when you you're backed by them and openly this may not help your cause? insha Allah? Hopefully we answered this question for you. I don't want to keep you up and running in sha Allah I think we'll
inshallah
maybe we can stop here. Okay, we have couple of questions here from email. Okay, let me try to because we we should honor all these outlets I have been making notes on the concept of CFCs but I cannot see any of the videos are man those are very valuable videos can you please let me know what happened to these this is the series you know all the series you know that that 15 chapters are gone you know they and that's really the reason why we want
to hopefully get
you know this channel back so that we can the brother is very sad because he has been making notes on that he's been learning them across it inshallah. I'm still alive inshallah. We'll redo it.
Okay, can we pray in front of a mirror? No, because you're going to be looking at your your yourself. And this is very distracting and as if you're praying to yourself.
So you should always cover any glass which may reflect your image when you pray because this will be
a means for shaitan to distract you when you pray. He will get you to look at yourself. No question about it.
by Hugh Jackman Oh, hi and I will see you tomorrow. inshallah. Okay, we please make Jazakallah caliente sister please make sincere that our YouTube account gets restored. Not just for the broadcasting is just the, the
for the sake of these. I had like almost 25 to 3000 I think 3000 videos in there.
All made our you know, Subhan Allah Subhana Allah 100 Allah 100 la monocle. Hum, humbling.
So inshallah we're gonna try but we need your
and spread the word that please about Facebook because that's the only platform we have in Sharma okay one last question. Is it permissible to pray in our room or out of pictures the Salah is valid. The Salah is valid if you bring it home there is a picture, the Salah is valid, but what is those are two different issues. What is the ruling on praying? What is it the only one having pictures it's Haram. It's haram because angels do not enter there. So as a Muslim you should not have pictures hanging on the wall. But if you happen to pray in the womb or other pictures, hopefully you're not distracted by them. Your Salah is valid jazza como la Hara we'll see you tomorrow
inshallah. Tomorrow we have the rightly guided inshallah we'll talk about the Sahaba
unfortunately, we may have to go into the fitna but we're gonna explain it in Sharma in a very balanced way if needed. If you want to follow us look at the schedule. We have a schedule. We actually every day we have a subject I think we have the Sahaba tomorrow, inshallah. Thursday. We have the arcade on Friday. I'm not mistaken arcade on Friday. We have family night on on Saturday, family night on Saturday, and we have CLR on Sunday. Imagine this and some nights for question and answer. A variety please invite people to the Facebook page. Imam Karima was eight so that we have more people watching and benefiting share the page inshallah we have 30 people sharing it to maybe
