Matala baraka to

the swindler when hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah

wala Ali he was the he woman who Allah

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

don't come in. Can you tell what

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
