00:00:08 --> 00:00:08
			Allah Subha Tahalamu. Allah Subha Tahalamu. Allah Subha
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			Tahalamu. Allah Subha'a, again, as we said, all
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			of the Quran is Kul. Say. But when
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			Allah puts Kul, there is special stress
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			to the to his people.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			Do actions, actions, actions.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			Do according to what you are able to
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			do. In your way, you want to do,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			and I am going to do
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			I am going to
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			do my actions.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			And very soon, you will come to know.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:41
			Come to know
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			what? What the
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			the rewards and consequences of your actions were,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			what you were doing, your amal, and what
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			the rewards and consequences of my amal. And
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			his amal is our amal.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			Okay?
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			Again, we keep stressing amal. Allah is saying
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			amal.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			So if it's not just about the elm
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			that I know,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			I know there are 5 salas of the
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			day. If I don't do 5 salas a
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			day,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			then I am
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			subject to the same thing.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			So stress on amal, but amal, which is
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			proper for Allah
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			as he has commanded, as Rasulullah
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			Sallallahu
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			Alaihi Wasallam has shown
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			the one on whom the Adab of Allah
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala comes.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			Is meant, but it comes,
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			makes Khizya means to disgrace him, it primarily
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:56
			means
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			in this dunya.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			The one on whom Allah comes in this
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			dunya to disgrace him,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			and for him becomes obligatory or for whom
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:10
			becomes,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:15
			the proper
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:16
			justice
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:21
			of Adabu Mukim. Mukim means adab that continues.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			This is talking about
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:23
			the akhir,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			that
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			there are people who will be disgraced in
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			this dunya, and for they also deserve the
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			eternal punishment
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:33
			in
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:34
			the arkha.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:36
			Now
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			after going over these,
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			two scenarios, 2 groups, the same 2 groups
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			that
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			we are going to come to in the
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			end, Allah says,
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			Indeed, we have,
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			we have indeed
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			sent down, revealed unto you, Rasulullah SAW, the
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			kitab which is the Quran,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:17
			for
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			all of mankind.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			This is a messenger
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			and a message for all of mankind.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			It's not just for common Nur, it's not
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			just for Bani Israel, it's for all of
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			mankind.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			Rasulullah
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			is distinguished as being a universal.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			Allah has sent this book for all of
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			mankind in truth
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			and the one who is guided by it
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			is not doing a favor to Allah. It
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			is for himself.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			And the one who goes astray who rejects
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			it,
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			And he is the one who is
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			responsible for his own loss. He's gone astray
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			by his own choice.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			You are
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			not a guardian. You are not a wakil
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			for them. In other words, this is the
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			freedom of choice that Allah has given. He
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			has sent the messenger. He has sent the
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			message. This you accept. It's up to you.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			It's for your benefit. You reject
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			your consequences. You are the one who is
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			to blame for it.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			Then Allah
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			now talks about what we we talked about
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			earlier
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			about sleep.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:04
			Allah
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			is the one who
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			takes back
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			anfus
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			from nafs,
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			jamaah of nafs. There are 2 kinds of
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			jamaah, plural of nafs. 1 is nafus and
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			anfus. Nafus
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			is many, anfus is jamaah pilah
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			of some
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			that Allah says
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			Allah keeps some of
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			the nafs
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42
			upon their death. He keeps those. People who
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			die, not everybody is dying, only a few
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			people are dying compared to the population.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:50
			Less than 0.1% of people die. So some
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			he takes, he keeps.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			And the ones who
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:02
			he decides are not to die in their
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:02
			sleep,
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			So he keeps the one he's going to
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			he decides they'll die in their death, and
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			many people do. And the ukhra, the others,
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			and
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			he sends back
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22
			till a certain time. So our waking up
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:22
			is
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			the ruh coming back. So in our sleep,
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			our ruh actually leaves our body,
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			and they travel. That's why we dream.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			We meet people in the future, we meet
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			people in the past, we have all of
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:35
			these.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			Yet there is some connection and we don't
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			know the rope that is left with the
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			body, so body is not dead.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			And Sayyidina Ali described it
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			like a hair that is still attached.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			And when
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			the roo is released by Allah, the angels
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			say, You Allah, you want to keep them
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			or you want to let it go?
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			Back here wake up.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			That's what we say.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			That Allah has given us life again.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			Right?
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			So Allah is telling us about that, that
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			you, this is again a reminder that you
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			die every day, you wake up every day,
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			till a time that is appointed.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			So when somebody dies,
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			we should also change our
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			vocabulary by saying,
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			oh, he died because he had an accident
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			or he died from cancer.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			As believers, no, he died because of the
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			ajal of Allah came. That was
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			written. Those are just the means, the agencies
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			that Allah uses.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			Whether you had cancer
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			or not, you are going to die. Whether
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			you had an accident or not, you are
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			going to die. He died because the 'ajal,
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			the time expiration,
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:51
			occurred.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			Means don't matter.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			Okay?
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			In this there are indeed ayats
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02
			for people who reflect,
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			who think. Again, like we said, one way
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			of thinking is
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			every day we are dying and resurrecting. Every
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			day we are dying. One day we will
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:12
			die
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			and one day we will resurrect. No. Not
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			never in this dunya, but one day we
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			will resurrect, Insha'Allah.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:19
			In a good state, In
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			Have they taken
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			people as interest
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			for Shafa' other than Allah?
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50
			Does anyone have the power of shafa'a other
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			than who Allah authorizes, even Rasulullah salallahu alayhi
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			wa sallam, and the ambiya and the huffas
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			and all the shuhat that Allah had? It
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00
			is by Allah's authority that they are allowed
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			to intercede and only for the ones that
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			Allah wants them to intercede, not everybody else.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			So Allah is saying,
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			have they taken other than Allah someone who
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			will intercede for them on the day of
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			judgment?
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24
			These idols, these things that you have, they
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:25
			have no
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			They have no authority, no kingdom.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			They don't even have this because they're
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			inanimate objects. They have no intelligence, they have
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:36
			no reasoning, nothing, no understanding.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			Then correct that belief
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			or wrong belief by saying to them,
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:47
			only to Allah belongs
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			every kind of shafa'ah.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:51
			All intercession
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			belongs to Allah. All ability to forgive and
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:57
			punish is with Allah. He may authorize someone
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			to say, okay, he wants to forgive
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:02
			Ali al Hajjib, but he's directly he can
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			say, you Rasulullah, if you do shafa'ah, just
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			to honor Rasulullah
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			and to make me feel. He said, you
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			Allah, let him go. He was a sinner,
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12
			but let him go. Shafa'ah is only authorized
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			by Allah.
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			Who is the one authorizing? The other one
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			Allah says,
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			They have no authority.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			To him belongs the dominion, the sovereignty
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			of the heavens and the earth.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			And then you will be brought to him.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			You will be brought to the ultimate authority,
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			the ultimate king, the owner
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			of all the dominions of the
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43
			heavens and the earth.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			Prayer number 45,
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			Now look at this scene. Imagine
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07
			a social gathering of people.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13
			And somebody starts talking about Allah alone, Allah's
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			greatness, Allah. This,
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			Those who do not have belief in the
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:25
			akhir, their hearts start to become tight. What
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			are we talking about?
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			Let's talk about something fun.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			Let's talk about something
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32
			that we can enjoy.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			So when Allah and the akhirah is being
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			talked about instead of their hearts expanding
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			and with mention of Allah their hearts become
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43
			constricted, uncomfortable. I don't feel good here.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			What kind of person did you what mullah
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			did you bring into this gathering that's spoiling
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			our fun, our enjoyment? Right?
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:52
			Now and the opposite.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:57
			And when everything other than Allah has mentioned,
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			all the partying, all the money making, all
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:03
			the movies, all the
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04
			Hollywood, Bollywood,
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			anything else that they enjoy.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			Now you see their faces. They are so
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:11
			happy.
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			Now you're talking.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			So Allah is telling us, now yes, we
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			can laugh about it, but
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			where do I fit in this? I have
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:21
			to also look.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			Because if that's what happens to me, now
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			we are in the middle of a gathering
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			and people you know suddenly the adhan is
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			going to have to go home. We have
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
			to pray adhan now.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			I have
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			to do wudu again, wash my makeup that's
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:36
			I feel uncomfortable.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			Right?
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			Or, you know, can we talk about something
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42
			can we relax and talk about something light?
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			This is too heavy for me. That tells
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			us
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			that
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			we are from the people who don't have
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			true
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54
			belief in the
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			Allah is the originator of the heavens and
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			the earth.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			Not just created and left it.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			He knows everything in the unseen and unseen
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			as it goes on, before it
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			goes
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:40
			on.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			You are the one, you Allah,
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:43
			who will
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:47
			decide, who will judge between your
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			Ibad. In all matters, they used to dispute
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:55
			and argue with each other.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			Okay?
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01
			One god, 3 gods, multiple gods. Is this
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			this? Is Allah like this? Is Allah?
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			You know, all the arguments, all the clever
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:08
			arguments will come to an end
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:09
			as soon
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
			as the end comes.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:35
			Now Allah
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			is going
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:40
			forward into the day of judgment. Allah says,
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:43
			those who did
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			and the ultimate
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			is
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:48
			ship with Allah.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			The one who makes up lies of Allah.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			Those who did.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:15:00
			If they had everything that was on this
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			Earth, can anybody have everything on this earth?
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:05
			No, you cannot, no matter how powerful you
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			are. If they had all of them, 1
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:10
			istlahu and double that and one equal to
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:10
			that.
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:16
			And
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:20
			say, You Allah, take all of this, all
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			of the duniya and double the thing and
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			just protect me from this adaab
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:26
			on the yawmul qiyama.
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			Ransom. As a ransom, they want to give
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:30
			everything,
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
			everything that you can't. I mean, we have
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:35
			some, we want Allah
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			said that everything is not just malice.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			On that day, what will they say?
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:41
			You Allah,
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			take my parents, take my children, take my
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:48
			spouse, take this, take everything to save me.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:49
			This is my
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			everything if they had and like it, they
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:54
			would say, You Allah,
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:57
			save us from take this as ransom and
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58
			save me from Surah Al Adham
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:14
			They never thought
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			that this was going to happen.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			They never counted
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:23
			that this was going to happen.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			They never expected that this would happen. They
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:28
			never prepared for it.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:32
			What is the consequence?
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			Of their
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:38
			sins that they committed.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			They will be surrounded by this is justice
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			of Allah. They will be surrounded, everything around
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:47
			them.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:50
			What they did,
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:53
			everything of their evil will be around them
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			because this is the justice of
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:56
			Allah
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			and yes,
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			means who used to make fun, who used
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			to mock about it.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			You mean this? You mean everything of mine
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:11
			is being recorded? Come on. Don't buy there.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16
			Everything will be presented around them and everything
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:18
			that they used to laugh and ridicule that
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19
			they didn't believe in,
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:23
			all the evil consequences of their actions,
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26
			what they did,
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:30
			will surround them. And if you are surrounded
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			by evil deeds, what is implied?
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			That's right.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:42
			Interesting. Allah then says again, we've gone through
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:43
			similar ayats
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			in several play once in this Surah and
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			previous Surah.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			That when some difficulty,
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:06
			some hardship
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			touches or adversity touches,
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			Allah is not saying he's just plunging a
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:13
			spear into somebody.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:17
			Even it touches him, now insan gets,
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			I don't like this. What does he do?
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:24
			You Allah, You Allah, save me from this.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			The wind is picking up.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			The hurricane is coming. The ship is going
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			to sink. Whatever it is, the stock market
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:31
			is going
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:32
			to end up in 0.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			Then what happens?
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:41
			Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:46
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala replaces that and showers
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:47
			him with his blessing.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:52
			What is his response? Instead of being grateful,
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:52
			he says,
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			This is because I was so smart.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			I sold the stocks at the right time.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			Right? Why I did such and such thing?
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			So he takes the credit. Instead of being
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:07
			thankful to Allah he takes the credit himself.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			Allah
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:10
			says,
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			This is a test for you.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			That the fact that Allah removed that punishment
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:21
			from you is the punishment itself, the hardship
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:24
			was a fitna and its removing is also
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:24
			a fitna.
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:27
			The first fitna of hardship
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:30
			was to test you if you have sabr,
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			how you deal with it.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			And yes, you should turn to Allah for
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:37
			help. And when it's taken away, what is
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:37
			the fitna?
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:38
			Test.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			Shukran, gratitude You Allah.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			I had no power to do this. It's
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			only by your grace
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			and then to give khayraat and to do
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:51
			good deeds and to fast in recognition of
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			that and give charity and feed the poor,
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			do the things that Allah loves.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:02
			But the majority of them do not know.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			They do not know what happened. They do
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:07
			not recognize it. This was from Allah
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:11
			Allah.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			Indeed, it's not something new for Allah to
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			see this kind of reaction from people, this
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			ingratitude and taking.
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:29
			Allah says, indeed the same has already been
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			said by many
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			people before did the same thing.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			It's a same repeat story for all of
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:34
			mankind.
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			But what they did,
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			what they used to earn did not help
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			them in any way.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45
			It did not come to their it did
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:48
			not benefit them or they couldn't avail of
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			it in any way.
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:11
			Their evil deeds, what they earned, the consequences
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			of the,
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:13
			what they did,
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			and
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			the people who were
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:20
			the the.
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:28
			So they are afflicted by evil consequences
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29
			of what they,
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:30
			what they did.
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:35
			And they
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			will not be able to Allah
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:41
			is saying, they cannot make me a ajis.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:44
			They cannot frustrate me by these things because
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:45
			that's above all of
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:47
			this.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			And what does also means that they cannot
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			escape Allah's
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			punishment. In other words, so much is going
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			on. Allah said, I can't deal with all
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			of these things. No. Allah says there's no
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:00
			failure. You'll be dealt with justice, everybody. No
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:01
			matter what how
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
			much evil there is, Allah will deal with
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:04
			it.
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			So I'll read a translation of this ayah.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:12
			So the evil results of that which they
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:15
			earned overtook them, the ken, and those who
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:15
			did wrong
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:17
			of these, the people,
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:19
			of Rasulullah,
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:22
			will also be overtaken by the evil results
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			for that which they earned and they will
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			never be able to escape.
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:45
			And everybody knows
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:47
			this. Do they not know?
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:50
			What?
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:53
			Allah
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:54
			is albasit.
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:56
			He expands the
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			risk. He gives the provision to them.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:01
			And He is also qabid
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:03
			yakudu or yakudir.
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05
			And He constricts
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			and He limits
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:08
			the restrictions.
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			2 people can do the same amount of
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			work, one gets a lot, one gets limited.
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:16
			2 people can have exactly same education, one
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:19
			gets a lot, one gets limited because Allah
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			Who provides. These are just the means.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			And in this there are indeed signs for
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:29
			those who believe. What it also teaches us
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:29
			is that
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:31
			if I am
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:33
			not getting as much as I want, that
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			this is what Allah has written, I shouldn't
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:35
			get frustrated. I shouldn't
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:39
			look for haram means to supplement it.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			Similarly, if I'm getting a lot, it looks
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:44
			like I'm making the best business decisions. I'm
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45
			making tons of money.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:48
			This is what Allah has written. Alhamdulillah, let
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			me use it in the best way and
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			not take credit that I am the one.
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			Now comes one of the most powerful ayahs,
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:58
			and we will
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			it's an hour and 3 minutes. What is
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:04
			the opinion? Should we stop here? We should
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			stop here. We should stop here. Yeah. I
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:07
			don't want
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:10
			to start this ayah with people fatigued, Insha'Allah.
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:12
			We will continue,
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			from this ayah number 4
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			53
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:18
			next time, Insha'Allah.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			We ask Allah
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:32
			to put everything that we have studied together
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			into our hearts and to help us
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:38
			to act on it and to reflect on
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39
			it and to
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			review it. We do put it out as
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:44
			a recording because sometimes we forget, so it's
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			good to revise it.
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:46
			So,
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			we stay on top because man is by
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			nature forgetful. We need reminders.
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			And may Allah accept this gathering. May Allah
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:55
			bless
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:57
			our beloved host,
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00
			brother Majid and his entire family
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			who have hosted us so graciously.
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			May Allah
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:07
			bless all those who are here and those
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			who could not be and our families. And
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:09
			may Allah
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:12
			join us in a better better gathering,
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15
			in the company of Rasulullah
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			and his companions and his family in the
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:19
			Afarah.
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			And as we have mentioned Allah
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:23
			in this gathering,
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:25
			be sure Allah
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27
			has mentioned each one of us by our
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
			names in a better gathering.
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:31
			And this is what Rasulullah
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:33
			taught us.
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			So just rejoice in that fact that all
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			the time that we were sitting here,
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			Allah was proudly mentioning each one of us
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:42
			by our names
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:45
			to those who are around him and imagine
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			those who are around him. Him. And Allah
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49
			is looking at with joy.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:54
			So may Allah accept this effort with Ikhlas.
