We praise Allah subhanaw taala and we send peace and blessings on his
Noble Messenger. Our beloved Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, we ask Allah subhanaw taala once again humbly to open
our hearts to his remembrance,
to
make sure that our hearts are prepared to receive the words of
Allah subhanaw taala. And may He imprint them on our hearts
permanently with the reality of his Kalam
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us among those who listen to
the words of admonition and follow the best of them.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to open the hearing channels of our
hearts, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to show us truth as the
truth and to help us to follow it and to show us falsehood as
falsehood and help us to stay away from it. I mean,
so we are going to continue in the early makin Surahs we have been
following them
somewhat in the order in which they were revealed. So we are
still in the early mcan period, the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam
has started his Dawa effort his invitation to Islam. There is a
lot of opposition. There's a handful of followers, people are
trying to snuff out this message with accusations against
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam.
And the early Muslims are having a difficult time because of family
ties. People are persecuting them, ridiculing them, and yet, they are
finding strength in
the real time revelation that Allah subhanaw taala is sending
through the Quran. That is what is giving them strength to deal with
this difficult situation that they are facing.
So we're going to cover that early Surah, which is called a tech
week, which is surah number 81 essentially means the folding up
of the sun.
I think I mentioned last time
that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. As you know he was the
most handsome of men and he had very dark thick hair down to his
shoulders.
So towards the end of his life, one day, Abu Bakr Siddiq or the
Allah Han and Omar Abdel Katara Dylon were sitting with him. And
suddenly Abu Bakr Siddiq noticed and he said, Yeah, rasool Allah,
you have white hair.
He couldn't believe it. At this time, our backer who is younger,
already had plenty of hair, and had lost most of them.
So Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam said, that Surah Hood, and
it sisters have made my hair gray.
In other words, the sisters of Surah Hood or Surah, Al Wacka,
that you know, Sula Surah, Musa let another en Taquile, the surah
that we are covering, because they deal with very serious situations
of piano.
And there are many things in there that if a person actually takes it
to heart that probably die, because it's such a scary
situation.
And the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam also taught us that whoever
wishes to see the day of judgment as if they were looking at it with
their own eyes should read a query which we are covering in theta and
in Chicago, these are next to each other 8182 and 84 because they
describe in detail what's going to happen.
So early on in Revelation before any commandments, Allah subhanaw
taala is building the Eman of the people putting out a message for
all of humanity
as to what is going to happen in the future.
so that they may live their lives in a way that is
conducive to the purpose for which they were created, which is the
abou dia or worship of Allah subhanaw taala. So there are two
main themes. The first 14 is deal with resurrection, with the piano
and resurrection, the Day of Judgment.
And the last part of it has to do with the revelation. So what is
going to be mentioned in the first, Allah subhanaw taala is
going to describe some super catastrophic events,
which will bring to an end, the perfect harmony and equilibrium
that we see in this universe which Allah created
and which runs by the laws of Allah, then we frequently say, the
laws of nature, but we should be careful what we mean by that. It
is not the laws of nature, in nature of nature, it is the laws
of Allah in nature, nature is nothing but the execution of the
laws of Allah.
Okay, so when we loosely say, oh, nature did this, nature is
nothing. So we must remember that, that we attribute all the laws to
Allah subhanaw taala and not to nature itself. So life as we know
it in this four dimensional universe that we live in, has laws
that Allah subhanaw taala created, that's why everything is running
in perfect harmony. And we have no clue about what is going on and
how this thing runs. It's it's just, the scientists cannot come
up with the equations of how all of this gravity's and balance and
all of this goes on in the universe, and nothing happens
perfect. Yet Allah subhanaw taala will erase all of these laws that
have been running for billions of years, with new laws, which will
supersede and override these so that all of this will be brought
to an end. And that is going to herald the Day of Judgment, the
end of the universe as we know it.
So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us early on not to be deluded by
the permanency of what we see. The Earth looks permanent, the sun has
been around 4.6 billion years, looks permanent. We can project
moons 50 years from now we can predict sunrise and sunset, all of
this looks like perfect. So why would it not continue? And
scientists tell us today that it cannot continue because they talk
about the energies that are being consumed to make all of this
happen. So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us that the one who
decreed all of this to exist as it does
also has decreed that all of it will come to an end. Kulu Manali
have fun Allah subhanaw taala says, everything
will be brought to nothing.
Which means there is no escape.
There is no shelter, there is no safety, except
with Allah.
So early on Allah subhanaw taala is stressing to us that we have a
responsibility. We have to live here responsibly. We have
responsibility to ourselves, because one day we will be brought
in front of Allah subhanaw taala one by one, and asked how
responsibly we lived. What kind of law abiding citizens we were on
the earth of Allah. So Allah subhanaw taala tells us in the
first part, to prepare for that responsibility. And the second
part of this has to do with Revelation. In other words, Allah
smart Allah is telling us you want to live responsibility, then look
at the revelation the Quran, and the result of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam. So in the second part, Allah subhanaw taala,
certifies and authenticates the message of the Quran, so that
there is no doubt about it. And he gives the stamp of authenticity to
his two messengers, the truthful and Amin in the heavens, which is
Gibreel, Ali Salam, the Arch Angel, not any other angel and to
the best of human beings of creation on the earth, which is
Allah Amin Rasulullah Salallahu. Salam, that this is what it is all
about, have no doubt about it.
So, this surah starts with 12 conditional clauses which starts
with either when such and such thing happens if and as we said
this If is
The issue of certainty just telling us when in time it will
happen. Allah subhanaw taala starts with 12 condition
conditions that when these happen, then something will happen these
are called Truth or conditions shut. So Jamal of shortsea means
sent conditional clauses or sentences which say, We if this
condition happens if this condition is fulfilled, if this
condition, then what will happen? So, at the end of 12, there is
what's called Java or short means, what if all this happens, what is
the end? What is the purpose that we will come to? So, the first six
of these 12 have to do with the day of judgment before it is
established. It's the breakup of the system that we have the last
six up on the Day of Judgment itself. So, Allah subhanaw taala
starts this. And as we mentioned last time, that we should take
everything in the Quran literally, sometimes there is a clear
indication that it is metaphoric majaz.
It's something you know, you can you can ponder but otherwise it's
safest. If Allah says this will happen, just take it literally as
that, okay? How it will happen. That is known only to Allah
Subhana Allah scientists give us some indications from our current
knowledge, we can have some ideas and we'll talk about that. So
Allah subhanaw taala starts the surah Allah bIllahi min ash
shaytani R rajim Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem Rahim is a Shem
suku Willett
either Shem su when the sun is Kuwait at the word Kuwait that
means folded when we tie in a mama it is called Kuwait Okay, Allah
subhanaw taala say the sun is folded.
How it is going to be folded is known to Allah subhanaw taala it
also means that it will darken it will lose its light.
Okay.
Do stars die?
We know they die. Some stars become
what I call little red dwarfs, they lose the energy.
Some stars implode internally.
And this energy is produced cause the the, the the protons and
electrons to fuse and only neutrons are left what we call
neutron stars, very strong pools, no light. And then ultimately
there are some when they explode, they produce such energy that they
produce what we know as black holes, the amount of energy that
not even the photons can escape. So it's all absorbed in that there
is no light coming out. Therefore there are black holes. So we
already have examples of stars disappearing.
Allah is telling us something like that is going to happen to the Sun
one day, the sun will burn itself out by the command of Allah
subhanaw taala.
Imagine what would happen
the sun, as you know, has a mass which is 330,000 times that of the
mass of the Earth. It's got a surface temperature, which is
measured in Kelvin scale of 5778 degrees, which is like 5500
degrees Celsius. This is just the surface temperature, not the core
temperature. Now when this explodes of what falls within what
energy forces are going we know but you can imagine it's like
trillions and trillions and trillions of atomic bombs going
off at one time.
Allah subhanaw taala saying the sun will lose its light it will
fall
when he then new Zhu Moon Carroz najem star new Doom stars in
karate in cataract means will be dispersed. Right now everything is
running in its set orbits has gravitational laws that keep
everything going perfectly. There is going to be a gravitational
disarray. The stars will fly out with nothing. And I imagine you
are dark and there are missiles flying all over. And those are
stars are not little things. These are 1000
1000s and millions of times the size of the Earth that they're
going to be
flying around another meaning of of incredulity is something that
becomes dark and murky that you can see. And it's already going to
be like that.
And
there is one other thing that happens with this, which is
we have examples of something like this. And we are trying to go
about that, where dust and cosmic chaos essentially sort of happens,
which is called novellas and supernovas, that when they
explode, this is the kind of thing that happens, like flying
everywhere, the debris and the debris is not like what we see
here when a mountain is blown up. These are planets. So Allah
subhanaw taala, saying that the stars will lose the light and they
will be dispersed all over flying around.
Then Allah subhanaw taala brings our attention to the Earth.
We're either in G Balou. Spirit in the mountains, because mountains
are mentioned for other places, at least in the Quran, because we see
them as strong and firmly grounded on this earth and they are
massive. And if you travel in everywhere you see these huge
mountains, not just Himalaya and have it everywhere else. And no
matter where you go, I was just in Oman, massive mountains and you go
here, mountains everywhere. Allah subhanaw taala says
was three years till either et al Jabbar, Lu sera, sera, sera means
will be moved around, made to move the mountains will be made to move
they will be set in motion, the firm thing that you see
is it's going to make them vanish.
The Mountains will vanish. Now, interestingly, the Prophet
salallahu alayhi salam told us in a hadith, that one of the signs
towards the end of the day of judgment, and he wasn't talking
about the Day of Judgment, one of the things leading up that
mountains will be moved from the surface of the earth.
How many of you have been to hygiene Minna?
All those planes where the tensor I used to be mountains, and I've
seen I've stood on top of those mountains, they no longer exist.
They were blasted in move to make this plane. All these hotels that
are built here this new on Jabel Omar Jebel Omar is gone.
Human beings have removed mountains from the surface of the
Earth. This was foretold by Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam Who
could have imagined at that time that mountains, human beings are
moving it and we move it all the time that is controlled explosions
to make roads and this and that tunnels. Complete mountains have
been removed from complete the planes.
One time I went after many years, I couldn't recognize I said they
used to be mount there was a small Masjid where they took bow with
Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam behind this little mountain. It's
in the middle of a plane. I said what happened to the mountains
because I've climbed and sat down and it rained. The mountains are
gone.
Allah subhanaw taala is showing us that mountains can be moved.
And we
in an earlier Surah Surah Muslim and if you remember Allah subhanaw
taala says what what can I tell Jabbar Luca Theva Mahila we will
make them flow like dust removed.
Allah subhanaw taala says we're busuttil jiba lupus and we will
blast them into dust. They will flow like like you know wool,
floating around mountains will be removed from the surface of the
earth.
Allah smart Allah is telling us this.
Then he says
what either Ashara Tillet Shah is a female camel that is pregnant, a
Shar from Asha, which is 1010 months pregnant means ready to
deliver.
So the female camo that was ready to deliver was the most precious
and valued possession
of the Arabs because she was going to give you another camel and she
would produce a lot of milk and all of this. It was like the
ultimate possession of the time.
So Allah subhanaw taala saying and when that 10 month pregnant camel
Tillet Tillet means made useless, it is neglected, nobody cares,
nobody tends to it. The most valuable of possessions will
become meaningless, nobody will, will do anything about it. That
was at that time, you can sort of correlated with our time because
we're not in the camera age, but our most valuable possessions will
hold no value, you're not going to be protecting them or safeguarding
them. Why? Because of the terror of what is going on.
Some of the people have also translated this as thinking that
perhaps this is before it comes that those valuable camels would
become
not that valuable.
Perhaps what do you mean by that?
What is the value of camels today?
Not much, because their job has been taken over by automobiles and
so on, so forth. So perhaps I'm not saying it is but you can
reflect it was an indication of things to come that the value
system will change. But most of the commentators of the Quran have
said this talk specifically about that, that it will
hold an over value, what either who should or should push it. And
when the wild beasts
will be gathered together.
Lions with gazelles,
Tigers with cows.
In other words,
they will forget about their enmity.
The wildest of beasts will be standing scared next to things
that they would normally eat and not allowed to survive.
And the ones who would run from them the gazelle would be standing
next to the lions. Not afraid of the lion, but afraid of everything
that's going on. So now imagine if the wildest of beasts
would be so scared the predators, what would be the condition of
human beings?
We then shut because the laws that Allah has put the moment the lion
sees a gazelle. He goes after the moment the gazelle gets an idea
that the lion is coming is running and jumping over everything. All
of that is brought to an end.
So Allah subhanaw taala gives us that way, it'll be hard to see
Jarrett and by the oceans. Suit Jarrett. Now there are two
meanings of Sojat. One CGR means made to explode, burn.
Water extinguishes fire Allah saying the oceans will be set a
flame in the next Surah that's after this in Fatah where they'll
be harder for JIRA, which made to explode made mate set ablaze.
How is that going to happen? It's not only to Allah subhanaw taala
do we have examples of something like that? Yes, we do. You see the
under ocean volcanoes. When they erupt, the water doesn't
extinguish them, you see the fire coming out.
And then Allah subhanaw taala could do many other things. You
could separate the hydrogen and oxygen and make it all flammable.
He says it will be made to explode.
There is another meaning of Sojat which is something that overflows
you fill this to the degree that it starts overflowing that the
oceans will overflow.
Now we have some suggestion of that today.
What is that?
That's called global warming. That's what they're saying that if
these caps you know the Arctic Antarctic continue to melt and
these glaciers disappear, the water levels of the oceans will
lie will rise that many of the major cities are going to be
underwater. That's just from human effect.
Allah saying
that he is going to make this happen.
And the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam told us in a hadith that
every day
The oceans, ask Allah subhanaw taala to be given permission to
overrun the land because of the disobedience of human beings on
earth, that the oceans feel this and they cannot tolerate that Rob
is being disobeyed, they want to wipe everybody out by flooding the
whole earth. Yet Allah does not give them permission. But one day
will come when he will.
Where he will be Haru sujet.
So today,
we have many examples, we see mountains moving, we see volcanoes
that blow off the tops. We see earthquakes that shake the earth
we have tsunamis that come and take things. These are many
catastrophic events compared to what's going to happen. But Allah
subhanaw taala shows us this to make us aware that yes, it can
happen, that this is a prelude to what will really happen in the
end.
Everything that is recognizable will be changed beyond
recognition, the loss will completely change.
So After saying this, this is all leading up to the first blowing of
the trumpet when that trumpet is blown. And I'm just saying this,
don't take it like that and it's just sore.
All of the system will end
the zakah
