Allahumma xinerama went out to say about the data no habla anomala

my Samiha Illumina Lizzie Couric?
Hello Maria and Anelka hub comm what's in it for RnL Bao kala
balconette Elon was finished at NAB
Welcome back after a hiatus of almost six weeks,
that people have been traveling, and I hope you had wonderful
travels to wherever you want and we thank Allah subhanaw taala for
your safe return.
And we welcome our Hajaj brothers and sisters who Allah subhanaw
taala blessed with an invitation and completion of their Hajj. May
Allah subhanaw taala accept your Hajj
and accept it as a hedge mob rule done with the right intention with
full observance of all
the rules and regulations of hedge.
And with
Allah's acceptance, a hajima Brewer has no other award except
Jana.
So among us, we have at least one of our brothers who went and the
others who cannot be here there is there are some others online.
So we thank Allah subhanaw taala for giving
us the opportunity of being with you. And it was pointed out to me
by
the Mateen family that when they which went for Hajj. The first
Halaqa after the return was also an rather magic house, I guess
he's always been
in the forefront of hospitality. And Allah, Allah bless him, and
our sister who was not here today, and it's family, with the hair of
this dunya and the Accra and all of those who are here and all of
those who could not be
and we also welcome
our dear mother, the mother of system laka, who is here today
with us for the first time and it is a privilege to be in her
company. We always enjoy the company of our elders, because
Allah looks at them with Rama.
And sometimes Allah has Rama
descends on our elders specially and being in the company. We
benefit from it.
We praise Allah subhanaw taala for his infinite grace, bounty, and
the favors that he has bestowed on us
the greatest of which is the hidayah the guidance that he has
guided us to Islam and made us Muslims, and not just Muslims,
Muslims from the Ummah Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, the best of all
among the best of all nations
and for blessing us with his Kitab Al Quran
to take as our companions as something that we embrace that we
learn from that we live by, that we succeed with a fine fella
success in the dunya and Afra. And on the Day of Judgment
this Quran has been called Al Kitab al Hakim,
the Wise
Book that is wise and we are going to talk about wisdom today.
Because the surah we are covering today is surah number 31. Look man
when Lachman is known as Lokmanya al Hakim, the wise.
So this surah is not very long. It's essentially four pages 34
Iots. And again, it's a maken Surah which was revealed before
the migration of the Prophet sallallaahu salam to Medina. And
as we have mentioned before the makan Quran has to do more with
Eman yet more with the help of Allah subhanaw taala with the Afra
the previous human and building Eman
and most of the camp have come in the medina
And
so,
Allah subhanaw taala has starts the surah by calling it
mentioning the name of Lokmanya listener, the surah itself is
named after Lokmanya listener, and you will hear the word wisdom in
the Surah over and over derivatives on the word wisdom or
heck, Mauer Hakim over and over in this surah.
A few words of introduction about who was lucky man and a sinner
is generally agreed upon by our Alma that of Monterey salaam was
not a messenger or a Navy. He was not a prophet or a messenger.
He was a very special man. Obviously, a Willie of Allah among
his Olia who Allah subhanaw taala had blessed with special wisdom.
In Allah smart Allah mentioned that.
Now historically, there are some
accounts that we have
about who he was in when he was and there are some disputes about
it. Obviously, he was there before us, all of us are the largest.
There are some narrations that take him back to the time of the
Buddha lesson. Thankfully Manolis salaam that he was came to was the
among the bunnies, right. And some narration say that he used to give
photonic fatwa
verdicts to the Bani Israel before the Odin esalaam was given the
Naboo and when thou della salaam was given that then he stopped
giving those for October, he was known for his wisdom.
So there is some narrations that support that there are other
narrations that said that he came after recited esalaam. So we don't
know that for sure.
Now, it's agreed upon that he was of African descent,
because there are descriptions of him as being dark with African
features. And he came he is known to be Nubian, in the area of New
BIA is the southern part of Egypt, where what today's Sudan area is,
which is right next to Ethiopia, so in that part of northeastern
Africa, so whether it was southern Egypt, whether it is today Sudan,
whether it was a European because some have described him as an
Abyssinian Some have said there is Nubian but general areas there and
as features are described in a hadith
It is also said that he was a slave
of one master.
Not the one master, we are all slaved off but a worldly master
there are some narrations that he was a carpenter.
So we don't know that.
But we know that he is known for his wisdom he was a wise sage or
wise wali are close to Allah subhanaw taala. Because Allah
subhanaw taala has mentioned him that Allah smart Allah gave him
wisdom. Now how significant is this man who is of African
descent, and Africans different even at that time? They were
considered
slaves.
Okay, and if he was actually a slave of African descent, Yet
Allah subhanaw taala honors him
by making his words his Hickam his words of wisdom as
a permanent record in the Quran.
Look at the honor and Allah Swan Tala names one of the the, the
surah of the Quran, Lachman.
And that's something very, very special to have a whole
Surah named after you.
And you weren't even a prophet or a messenger. So this is something
very, very special. So there was something very special about this
man that we will come to.
So
Allah subhanaw taala tells us that He bestowed on Lachman wisdom
hikma and we will talk about that, what, what hikmah is, and where
did the Hikmah of of
Lookman Allah Salam come from? Obviously it came from the Divine
scripture that was available to him. And what Allah subhanaw taala
inspired in and we'll talk about how we define hikma once we come
to that
there
are a lot of stories about him.
And a lot of heckum, the almost 10,000 of his heckum his words of
wisdom that have been recorded.
And
there is a book which has taken 500 of those gems and has put them
in a book. I'll give you the references to those that book for
anybody who's interested in brief words of attributed love mannerism
that anybody is interested in, and it's available even in PDF, so you
can access it. Just to give you an idea that there is one narration
that one day his master said to him, go and sacrifice an animal,
sheep or whatever it was, and bring me the two best parts of it.
So he went and he sacrificed the animal. And he brought him the
heart and the tongue.
So that was what he considered the best. Some time went by. And then
his master said to him,
Go sacrifice an animal and bring me the two worst parts. So he went
and he sacrificed in animals. And he brought two parts what were
there,
the heart and
so his master said, as anybody would, when I asked you for the
two best parts, you brought me the heart and the tongue and when I
asked you for the two worst parts, you brought me the heart and the
tongue. So he said something to the effect, that if the heart and
the tongue are on the right path, and they're uncorrupted, there is
nothing better than they are the best. But if they are corrupted,
there is nothing worse than the heart and the tongue.
If you reflect just on this, there is a depth of meaning to this. And
we know that that is the truth.
So this is just to give you
an idea of of
Lachman Alyssa Rahman, while mentioned a few of his other HECM.
So Allah subhanaw taala, has immortalize his advice to his son
as part of the Quran, eternally.
The name of Lokmanya li Salaam is written on Latin macros, and his
advice is written recorded on lapel microphones.
And this is not something that we can our minds cannot encompass the
significance of something like this. So with that introduction,
let us start this surah
so the first part of this surah we are going to cover is 129
which talks about the revelation of the Quran, which is frequently
as we know that the makin Quran talks about Revelation And the
response of people to the revelation when this divine
message is being conveyed to them, how do they respond? And in the
marking period, as you know, the majority response was to reject
and ridicule the message. And this surah like many others that we
talked last time starts with those disconnected letters, which we
call rueful. micarta at the disconnected letters, all the
Minhagim in a che apart shaytani R rajim.
Bismillah you're right, man, you're rocking. Elif
me to chi yeah to keytab in hacking, who don't watch my tiny
little journey leading up Munna Salah to netzach. At
home, you can
will
mill rugby him with
a care home move on. So these first five Hyatts initially,
Allah subhanaw taala starts with Alif Lam Meem and as we summarize
before, we take Alif Lam Meem as divine words, whose meaning is
known only to Allah subhanaw taala and they are a part of the miracle
of the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala has put these are alphabets from
which all of the Quran is derived. And Allah subhanaw taala has also
put them there as a challenge, the tears the same alphabets create
one either one surah of the Quran, or the lack thereof. And then
the second part of this miracle is that we recite the Quran with
these words with these Alif Lam mean, we know no meaning we could
start with Hilkiah to Nikita because these are well there is no
meaning to this, but this is part of the preservation of the Quran,
that even though no meaning is known
recite them because we know these are the words that came from a
mosque
and frequently these peripheral Matata followed by something to do
with the revelation about the Quran. So wherever they come and
if lamb in the Likkle Kitab
if lamb in hola hola, hola. Hola. Hola yo creo then ends about.
So everywhere where these alphabets come off while Quran is
so they are frequently followed by the Quran, mention of the Quran.
So here Allah subhanaw taala says Tillich, tool kita bill again,
these are the eyes that I add translated as vs. Miracles
meanings
of what Al Kitab al Hakim, So here Allah Subhana Allah has described
his book Al Kitab is used for the Quran, Hakim as the wise so this
is the first mention of wisdom here.
So, we will come to what that means. Then Allah subhanaw taala
says
Hudong Warahmatullah Lilium of Simeon, it is a Buddha who that
means guidance.
The Wise Book that guides were Rama it is a mercy. Little
moistening for the doers of good for the mercy. Now what is a
Moxon? My sin is the one a person of Exxon and Sun has been defined
in many different ways. We take the sun from the hadith of Gibreel
Allah salaam, where the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam was asked
about Exxon and he said is to worship Allah, like you see him.
And since you don't see him to worship Allah as if he sees you.
In other words, worship in a way that is the best you can because
Allah is in front of you, Allah is Seeing. So excellence is what sign
is. And now that exon extends into everything else, not just the
actual ibadah. But how we deal with each other with the flow of
how we treat each other, how we perform any tasks that we are
supposed to do. So excellence doing everything to the best
possible capacity is at some, okay, mostly known the people who
consistently do that and everything across the board, not
just once that today I did my salah beautifully. That's not my
son, my son is who always does the salah. Today, I worked very well
for my boss, who does that all the time.
Today, I treated the beggar in a very generous and good way who
does that all the time. Today I control my anger. I do that all
the time. So motion is a title given to one who consistently acts
with the eye span across the board.
So Allah subhanaw taala here is telling us that a person who acts
with a son who is the moisten this book Kitab, Hakeem will give him
guidance
Hekima and Rama merciful, and as a result of that, he himself will
become wise.
He Himself will become merciful in his dealings, and he himself will
promote a son with people. So it's a closed loop, that if you have
those characteristics, the Quran will increase you in all of those
and therefore you keep going in circles becoming better and
better. The more Moxon you become, the more hidayah the Quran will
open for you, the better you will become even more merciful to
people in your dealings and so on so forth.
Then Allah subhanaw taala gives us some qualities of who these sinner
Alladhina up Munna Salah first condition is they established up
Munna salah they don't just do salah, but they established so
what uttama to Salah means, obviously, that you pray five
times a day, that you pray on time that you preferably pray, as soon
as the time comes in, that you preferably pray in GEMA that you
pray with focus and concentration without being distracted. You do
that constantly and this is how your whole life is that it your
life circulates around your Salah that is done and that Salah
represents your worship of Allah subhanaw taala and therefore it
translates into other rites of Allah also. But also to understand
your pre Munna, Salah is not just
I pray, but making sure that my life revolves around salah. Not
that Salah is fixed it into my life when it is convenient for him
it takes priority it has been established. Now the word also
comes from the word karma karma means to stand
and inshallah we stand, right we do such land ruku but we stand,
you know when the Imam starts is he said we say what Palma de sola,
you know, standing and what do we do when we stand in Salah?
We recite what
Kitab and Hakeem we recite the Quran so that standing is an
essential part because that's where we recite the Quran. We
don't recite the Quran and Rocco and sujood
or in the chakra, that the relation between Salah and Quran
is while we are standing.
So that is an interesting derivative of the word that the
relationship between the Quran and the standing in Salah
