Mustang massaman or pullover zip Crikey.

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

We praise Allah subhanaw taala

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

and we send peace and blessings

00:00:41 --> 00:00:44

on the best of his creation, our beloved prophet muhammad

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

sallallahu alayhi salam and his normal family.

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

And we ask for Allah subhanaw taala as blessings for this

00:00:53 --> 00:00:57

gathering, for our host family, and for all those who have

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

come to

00:01:01 --> 00:01:05

learn together, the words of Allah subhanaw taala

00:01:06 --> 00:01:11

that are in Surah number 39 Surah xoma.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:18

We ask Allah subhanaw taala to open the hearing channels of our

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

hearts to his remembrance

00:01:21 --> 00:01:26

and to increase us in useful knowledge, knowledge that

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

translated into action

00:01:29 --> 00:01:34

and action that is full of sincerity last for Allah subhanaw

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

taala action that is accepted by Allah subhanaw taala

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43

and we ask Allah subhanaw taala to protect us from deviating from the

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

truth once he has shown us the truth.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:56

So Surah Zoomer is a McCunn Surah that was revealed when the Prophet

00:01:56 --> 00:02:01

salallahu Salam was in Makkah before the Hijra to Medina and

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

some narrations

00:02:03 --> 00:02:08

say that the revelation took place around the time of the first

00:02:08 --> 00:02:11

migration to Abyssinia

00:02:13 --> 00:02:20

which means that the persecution of the Muslims of the Muslims had

00:02:20 --> 00:02:24

gotten to a point where it had become hard for them to live in

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27

Makkah and even harder to practice Islam.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:32

So there is an idea that we will see inshallah maybe today

00:02:33 --> 00:02:36

where Allah subhanaw taala gives us permission

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

to move to a land where you can practice your deen.

00:02:43 --> 00:02:47

So that indicates that this took place around that time it was

00:02:47 --> 00:02:51

revealed. So it's a Merkin surah. And as we know, makan Surahs have

00:02:52 --> 00:02:57

been the focus is the faith to believe in Allah subhanaw taala as

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

he has revealed to us about himself

00:03:02 --> 00:03:07

and about the author to make that a reality we've met we've learned

00:03:07 --> 00:03:12

that over and over again, so that the reality of ocra becomes

00:03:12 --> 00:03:16

embedded in our hearts and it's in the forefront of our minds so that

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

we prepare for it.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:24

Allah subhanaw taala talks about the rissalah which is the

00:03:24 --> 00:03:27

revelation so the surah we'll start with that that

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31

what are the words that you are listening to? What are they where

00:03:31 --> 00:03:32

did they come from?

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

So Surah Zoomer takes its name from

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

Zoomer means groups,

00:03:41 --> 00:03:45

takes his name from two groups that Allah mentions in the last

00:03:45 --> 00:03:46

part of this surah

00:03:48 --> 00:03:52

was sequela, Xena, kapha, Rutila, Johanna mizunara

00:03:54 --> 00:03:59

that there will be people who will be taken in groups to Jannah and

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01

similarly, you mentioned the second group.

00:04:02 --> 00:04:07

People of taqwa, Jen that is tomorrow. So, this is groups of

00:04:07 --> 00:04:11

people and we know there will be grouping on the day of judgment to

00:04:11 --> 00:04:14

big groups as we know people have the right people have the left

00:04:14 --> 00:04:19

people have Jana people agenda. Then there are subgroups. You

00:04:19 --> 00:04:23

know, you have the VIPs people who are the emoticon, the solid, who

00:04:23 --> 00:04:29

own the Shuhada special people, you know, the sai moon, you know,

00:04:29 --> 00:04:32

all that special categories that Allah has mentioned among the

00:04:32 --> 00:04:37

believers, who will be like the VIPs, who will be given special

00:04:37 --> 00:04:40

status. So there will be groups and subgroups.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

And that's where the surah takes its name.

00:04:45 --> 00:04:49

The theme of the surah as you will see, whatever we cover in the

00:04:49 --> 00:04:55

beginning, is now Allah subhanaw taala is calling us to action. All

00:04:55 --> 00:04:58

this time that we've been learning about Allah subhanaw taala it is

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

to believe believe

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

Allah believe in Allah believe in Allah. Now believe means,

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

you say with your tongue that you believe.

00:05:08 --> 00:05:12

And the belief is in your heart which nobody can see. Only Allah

00:05:12 --> 00:05:16

knows. Even the Manasa cone the hypocrites said that we believe

00:05:17 --> 00:05:22

the recited the shadow, but there was no belief in the heart.

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

So Allah subhanaw taala saying if you believe

00:05:27 --> 00:05:31

show by your actions that you believe now we are called to

00:05:31 --> 00:05:32

action,

00:05:33 --> 00:05:38

that if you say you're a believer, if you say you believe in Jana,

00:05:38 --> 00:05:42

and you believe in the Day of Judgment, show by your actions,

00:05:43 --> 00:05:44

now it is time for armor.

00:05:45 --> 00:05:49

So for almost four years or more, we have been talking about this

00:05:49 --> 00:05:53

Imam Imam Imam makan Surahs believe in Allah believe in Allah

00:05:53 --> 00:05:57

believe in Allah Now it is time for us as a group to take

00:05:57 --> 00:05:58

inventory.

00:05:59 --> 00:06:03

Yes, I believe in Allah. What am I doing to show that I believe in

00:06:03 --> 00:06:09

Allah subhanaw taala with four years of Quranic Allah cause what

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

has changed in my life?

00:06:12 --> 00:06:15

So Allah subhanaw taala is now calling us

00:06:16 --> 00:06:20

to look at our what we call lifestyle.

00:06:22 --> 00:06:27

Because Allah says the deen and then is not just religion. Deen is

00:06:27 --> 00:06:31

a way of life. In today's terminology, this is the way of

00:06:31 --> 00:06:37

life you know. So this is my way of life and way of life permits,

00:06:37 --> 00:06:41

not just in the act of worship to Allah spa, that I'm not just a

00:06:41 --> 00:06:45

Muslim in my five Salah has, or in the month of Ramadan or the time

00:06:45 --> 00:06:50

of Hajj. But does the Islam does the Islamic injunctions just the

00:06:50 --> 00:06:55

awareness that Allah is watching me permeate into my life, at work?

00:06:56 --> 00:07:00

In my business dealings, in the way I talk to people in the way I

00:07:00 --> 00:07:04

treat my neighbors in the way I treat my spouse, in the way I

00:07:04 --> 00:07:08

treat my children in every aspect of my life,

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

am I showing that I am a true believer.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

If nothing has changed,

00:07:16 --> 00:07:20

I'm still doing the same acts of disobedience that I did before,

00:07:20 --> 00:07:25

then this is for yours, or extra evidence against us, that you are

00:07:25 --> 00:07:31

reminded for four years, and you did not leave Reba, you are

00:07:31 --> 00:07:34

reminded for four years, and you did not stop lying.

00:07:35 --> 00:07:39

You reminded for four years, you didn't give this up.

00:07:41 --> 00:07:48

So now, each one and again, the idea will come that nobody will

00:07:48 --> 00:07:53

carry the burden of anyone else. In other words, everyone has to

00:07:53 --> 00:08:00

think about themselves. Frequently we are in the habit of looking at

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

others. He's not doing this, he's not doing this, my husband is not

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

doing this, my wife is not doing this. No, what am I doing? Because

00:08:08 --> 00:08:10

Allah subhanaw taala has will say

00:08:11 --> 00:08:12

in the future that

00:08:13 --> 00:08:18

nobody will carry the burden of anyone else. And we learn this

00:08:18 --> 00:08:24

also in last session in surah. Lachman in the end of that, what

00:08:24 --> 00:08:29

did it say that on that day, no son will benefit the father and no

00:08:29 --> 00:08:33

father will benefit the son. In other words, everyone will come

00:08:33 --> 00:08:38

with their own needs. So this is a time for us to look and see

00:08:39 --> 00:08:44

where I was four years ago, or whenever I started attending these

00:08:44 --> 00:08:49

Halaqaat so whatever Allah gave me Tofik where am I? Now? Is there a

00:08:49 --> 00:08:54

difference? Is there a difference that is proportionate to what I

00:08:54 --> 00:08:59

have heard? If it is, then we say Alhamdulillah. And we ask Allah

00:08:59 --> 00:09:04

subhanaw taala to keep us on that. And if we find that, only very

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

little change, or now the law, no change has occurred, then this is

00:09:09 --> 00:09:12

a very serious problem.

00:09:14 --> 00:09:18

Whatever acts of, of disobedience I was doing I'm still doing it.

00:09:19 --> 00:09:22

And I'm justifying it by saying, when Allah gives me tofu,

00:09:24 --> 00:09:28

or everybody else is doing it that so and so is a good person, but he

00:09:28 --> 00:09:32

also does this. This is no excuse because Allah subhanaw taala Allah

00:09:32 --> 00:09:36

doesn't play around. He's giving you clear commandments. Allah's

00:09:36 --> 00:09:40

Mercy is Rasta, he can forgive anything. But Allah has also shut

00:09:40 --> 00:09:41

the door the COP

00:09:43 --> 00:09:47

is severe in his punishment and he has warned us about over and over

00:09:47 --> 00:09:52

we will hear is about half health in this and Taqwa. Protect

00:09:52 --> 00:09:57

yourself out of that fear from that day. So keep this in mind.

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00

That this is some of the

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

themes that will come and there are some very, very special Iots

00:10:04 --> 00:10:08

in the Surah, one of which has been considered by many scholars

00:10:08 --> 00:10:12

as the idea of the greatest hope in the whole quarter,

00:10:13 --> 00:10:17

which will come later on. We won't cover it today, the IRA which

00:10:17 --> 00:10:22

gives qualia by the Alina asafo, Allah unphysical or you have

00:10:22 --> 00:10:27

transgressed all bounds and wrong yourself Latok Natoma, don't

00:10:27 --> 00:10:32

despair of the mercy of Allah even for those Allah has given chance.

00:10:32 --> 00:10:35

So that's gives hope to anyone nobody has the excuse that I'm

00:10:35 --> 00:10:38

such a great sinner that there is no hope for me there is always

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

hope till the soul is extracted.

00:10:42 --> 00:10:46

Okay. So some special Iots will come in the sewer.

00:10:47 --> 00:10:55

So out of the Himalayas, che Ponyo Raji Bismillah Al Rahman Ratan

00:10:55 --> 00:11:02

Tata down the road Nikita we mean a wall Hill Aziz in hockey in

00:11:04 --> 00:11:09

in a key tab in hockey probably learn a mock lesson left with

00:11:09 --> 00:11:15

Dean. First these two is last month Allah says, then the LWL

00:11:15 --> 00:11:21

Kitab Tenzin, the revelation, the coming down of Al Kitab is another

00:11:21 --> 00:11:27

name for the Quran, that this book has come down may not Allah, from

00:11:27 --> 00:11:32

Allah, this is not from Rasulullah sallallahu This is not from Jabril

00:11:32 --> 00:11:37

esalaam. They are just the conveyors of the message MIMO Ma,

00:11:37 --> 00:11:44

who is Allah He qualifies himself by two names here al Aziz and Al

00:11:44 --> 00:11:44

Hackie.

00:11:47 --> 00:11:52

Aziz means the one that is full of Asa and full of might.

00:11:55 --> 00:12:01

The most powerful so Allah smart Allah is telling us that He is the

00:12:01 --> 00:12:06

most powerful, no matter who you think might defend you against

00:12:06 --> 00:12:11

Allah, there is no protection from Allah except with Allah.

00:12:12 --> 00:12:16

So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us seriously this Kitab don't

00:12:16 --> 00:12:18

treat it lightly. This is from Allah disease.

00:12:20 --> 00:12:23

Don't treat its injunctions lightly at all. You know, don't

00:12:23 --> 00:12:27

play around. Don't try and find ways of going around. This is from

00:12:27 --> 00:12:34

Al Aziz and Al Hakim. And hikma we mentioned all sorts of Surah

00:12:34 --> 00:12:40

Lachman and Hakeem, the wise everything Allah is the all wise

00:12:40 --> 00:12:42

and everything that you revealed in the Quran is wisdom.

00:12:45 --> 00:12:51

Now, what is our wisdom, who is a wise among us? Who uses this data,

00:12:52 --> 00:12:57

to extract as much benefit for themselves as they can, and to

00:12:57 --> 00:13:03

repel as much harm as they can, or hold Sharia has one goal,

00:13:05 --> 00:13:10

to draw benefit for human beings and to repel harm? That's the

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

whole goal of all the Sharia everything that Allah has

00:13:13 --> 00:13:17

legislated, is for our benefit, to benefit us and to protect us from

00:13:17 --> 00:13:17

harm.

00:13:19 --> 00:13:23

Now, if we have been given all of this formula how to do that, and

00:13:23 --> 00:13:27

if we still don't take advantage of that, to protect ourselves from

00:13:27 --> 00:13:33

harm and to draw benefit, can we be called Hacking in any way? Just

00:13:33 --> 00:13:33

the opposite of

00:13:35 --> 00:13:38

that in spite of being given everything you're spoon fed and

00:13:38 --> 00:13:42

you still don't want to benefit from it. So Allah subhanaw taala

00:13:43 --> 00:13:49

tells us introduces this Kitab is from Allah and from no one else.

00:13:51 --> 00:13:55

And even that just if we think of if somebody sits and reflects on

00:13:55 --> 00:14:02

this, that this, these words, Tenzin al Kitab min, Allah, Allah

00:14:02 --> 00:14:03

says, Allah Qin,

00:14:05 --> 00:14:09

these are words that Allah Almighty who we have no idea of

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

his His Majesty, he uttered these words. This is ADIF. This is his

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

words, that he uttered these. That's why Allah subhanaw taala

00:14:18 --> 00:14:22

says the people whose hearts are clean, when they hear these words,

00:14:23 --> 00:14:27

their skin quivers and the hair stand up and their hearts tremble

00:14:27 --> 00:14:32

because this is who the words so when we have hearts prepared like

00:14:32 --> 00:14:36

that, that these are Allah's words, we are attentive to every

00:14:36 --> 00:14:41

word and every commandment of Allah subhanaw taala What does

00:14:41 --> 00:14:45

Allah want from me? And am I doing it? And if I'm not what is

00:14:45 --> 00:14:49

stopping me and I fix that, and I come to compliance with Allah's

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

orders today? And if I'm indulging in something that Allah has

00:14:53 --> 00:14:57

forbidden or does not like, I stopped from that today. What has

00:14:57 --> 00:15:00

led me to that I stopped those temptations today.

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

it so it is to change lives. This whole Quran wasn't revealed on one

00:15:06 --> 00:15:11

day, it came as the ayat scan the Sahaba has lives changed.

00:15:13 --> 00:15:17

They believed and they showed that belief by whatever was necessary.

00:15:17 --> 00:15:22

And Allah subhanaw taala tested them in those early stages. Most

00:15:22 --> 00:15:26

of the Quran headway with severe persecution you say you believe

00:15:27 --> 00:15:30

prove that you believe they are being tortured. They're being

00:15:30 --> 00:15:33

lashed. They're being put in the in the burning sands of Makkah and

00:15:33 --> 00:15:37

stones on them and they're being killed and tortured. Do you

00:15:37 --> 00:15:40

believe yes, I had. I had

00:15:42 --> 00:15:43

big tests.

00:15:44 --> 00:15:45

We are not tested.

00:15:46 --> 00:15:49

We have little tests, little temptation here literally,

00:15:49 --> 00:15:52

somebody calls you tell somebody little things.

00:15:54 --> 00:15:55

But this is how they were tested.

00:15:57 --> 00:16:01

And Allah subhanaw taala sort of made them immortal in a way that

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

we talk about the Sahaba

00:16:04 --> 00:16:07

it's somewhere here or the Allah Allah was the first one she gave

00:16:07 --> 00:16:11

her life the first person to die in Islam, only for a belief no

00:16:11 --> 00:16:12

other thing

00:16:15 --> 00:16:16

and so on so forth.

00:16:19 --> 00:16:24

Then Allah smart Allah says in the NA la Calcutta up against dressing

00:16:24 --> 00:16:29

in indeed we are last one on the plural of Majesty have revealed

00:16:30 --> 00:16:36

have sent down Unzen illogical Kitab la ca to you, singular

00:16:36 --> 00:16:40

person, second person Rasul Allah Subhan. Allah is Allah. So this

00:16:40 --> 00:16:43

says we have indeed We have revealed to you all Muhammad

00:16:43 --> 00:16:48

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and after after Rasulullah Surah it is

00:16:48 --> 00:16:51

we should read it as Allah says, I have revealed it to you earlier

00:16:51 --> 00:16:55

Hazaragi or to you that Allah is talking to me.

00:16:56 --> 00:17:02

Bill help in truth. It's not a game. It's there is a purpose to

00:17:02 --> 00:17:06

life and Allah has told us there is a purpose Allah created you not

00:17:06 --> 00:17:10

as a sport, that he needed entertainment, there is a mindset

00:17:10 --> 00:17:14

for our creation, as he tells us that He created us for his own

00:17:14 --> 00:17:18

booty or for his worship. And Allah subhanaw taala says there's

00:17:18 --> 00:17:23

a purpose for revelation of this book. And this book isn't how

00:17:24 --> 00:17:29

is the book is truth. It's all truth because it is from Allah,

00:17:30 --> 00:17:31

the truth.

00:17:32 --> 00:17:35

So Allah subhanaw taala is confirming and he doesn't need to

00:17:35 --> 00:17:39

confirm over and over again that what he is sent down is the truth.

00:17:39 --> 00:17:42

There is no doubt in loughrea Buffy starts right in the

00:17:42 --> 00:17:46

beginning Surah Baqarah larae Buffy in which there is no doubt

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

so Allah subhanaw taala saying in nuns Allah illogical, Kitab and

00:17:51 --> 00:17:58

Huck, what should be your response for fermions? Therefore, so, for

00:17:58 --> 00:17:59

Abu

00:18:00 --> 00:18:05

therefore worship Allah, that should be the response of those to

00:18:05 --> 00:18:12

whom this book is for Abu de la mock lesson. Now this class was

00:18:12 --> 00:18:16

going to come over and over again in the first 1415 is Allah

00:18:16 --> 00:18:22

stressing if last class means purity, purity of intention, that

00:18:22 --> 00:18:25

you worship Allah, only for his pleasure

00:18:27 --> 00:18:32

that there should be no other contamination in your worship,

00:18:32 --> 00:18:36

such as what such as looking good in front of people such as looking

00:18:36 --> 00:18:41

righteous and pious, such as looking generous, such as being

00:18:41 --> 00:18:46

called Al Hajj, such as you know, whatever titles that there should

00:18:46 --> 00:18:51

be no other purpose except Allah that Allah is pleasure

00:18:53 --> 00:18:59

Moakley CENla Deen that this is what your way of life is.

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

Everything you do do with the awareness that Allah is watching

00:19:04 --> 00:19:06

me I am doing for you.

00:19:07 --> 00:19:12

And Allah subhanaw taala does not like any contamination in the near

00:19:13 --> 00:19:14

with anything.

00:19:16 --> 00:19:25

And that lasts is sort of the peak of our iba. If there is no loss,

00:19:25 --> 00:19:30

you can worship Allah for 100 years. Result is zero. In fact,

00:19:30 --> 00:19:32

it's sin because it becomes shipped
