I

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

set out on econ What about a cartoon Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa

00:00:40 --> 00:00:44

Allah may Allah Allah He could tell you being a prophet in

Grasshopper he a world Miami, Roman tarbiyah home the son and

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

Eli young have been Lahoma to dinner minimum.

00:00:57 --> 00:01:02

So inshallah we are going to talk today about

00:01:03 --> 00:01:08

Surah Al Atlas, which as you know, is the 112

00:01:09 --> 00:01:15

sought after for and is the one that everyone is familiar with. In

00:01:15 --> 00:01:22

fact, it is the one most memorized Surah of the Quran, and the one

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25

that we all memorize after Surah Al Fattah.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:32

So this is also considered an early makan surah

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

and this is one of the

00:01:37 --> 00:01:43

one of the two only Surah of the Quran which is named by a name

00:01:44 --> 00:01:48

that is not something within the Quran as a word

00:01:49 --> 00:01:54

such as for example, Al Baqarah, because there is mention of

00:01:54 --> 00:02:02

Bukhara Allah Imran is the mention of Imran Ashraf mentioned of Bara

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

and fall. So they're all named after a word within the surah. But

00:02:06 --> 00:02:12

there are two sutras in the Quran which are not named after what is

00:02:12 --> 00:02:18

within in terms of a word from that surah and as you know Surah

00:02:18 --> 00:02:22

Fatiha and Surah Atlas.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:30

So, one might ask, why is the surah named a Class

00:02:31 --> 00:02:37

A class essentially means purity, because this is a

00:02:38 --> 00:02:46

Surah which talks in its most pure form, the purity of dough hate the

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

unique Oneness of Allah.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:54

So, it is named a Laplace according to the content of the

00:02:54 --> 00:02:54

song.

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

And

00:02:57 --> 00:03:03

there are many derivatives of this call this means pure, what you see

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

outside is what you see inside. No matter how you cut it, it is

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

exactly the same it's pure.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:18

Also mandalas means sincere, because this surah

00:03:20 --> 00:03:23

denotes the sincerity of the believer who believes in this

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

surah the way it is described,

00:03:27 --> 00:03:30

which is devoted to only one.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:36

There is also the word Hala saw which means to be saved, which is

00:03:36 --> 00:03:42

also from the same route, that one who truly believes in this surah

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

and its content is saved.

00:03:47 --> 00:03:51

And if we look at the content which we are going to come to only

00:03:51 --> 00:03:57

Allah subhanaw taala is mentioned purely in the Surah and nothing

00:03:57 --> 00:03:58

else is mentioned.

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

There is no mention of the Quran, there is no mention of Africa,

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

there is no mention of hisab there is no mention of the Gambia

00:04:09 --> 00:04:13

only Allah subhanaw taala is mentioned pure lunacy

00:04:16 --> 00:04:20

and this is again as we when we talked about Surah Fatiha that

00:04:20 --> 00:04:24

it's known by many many names. Similarly, this surah also has

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

many appetites for

00:04:27 --> 00:04:33

pet names if you want to call them one of which is Al Bara Brahmins

00:04:33 --> 00:04:37

one that absorbs that

00:04:39 --> 00:04:44

for you're absorbed from something you are set free, so it sets you

00:04:44 --> 00:04:47

free from ship idolatry

00:04:49 --> 00:04:53

because in its pure form of Tawheed it absolves you from

00:04:53 --> 00:04:53

shape.

00:04:54 --> 00:05:00

It is also called a Mona Farah. Mona Farah. Me

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

in something that is cast that casts something away because it

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06

throws a cast away shape on

00:05:07 --> 00:05:14

it is called url Naja. Naja means deliverance. It delivers

00:05:15 --> 00:05:22

from dash B dash b means likeness similarity that you might say

00:05:22 --> 00:05:27

Allah is like this, this surah tells you that Allah is not like

00:05:27 --> 00:05:30

anything, so it delivers you from Tashi sugar.

00:05:33 --> 00:05:39

It's also called Alma verify, because it is a recognition of the

00:05:39 --> 00:05:41

true knowledge of Allah subhanaw taala.

00:05:42 --> 00:05:48

It is called Modak Kira Muda. Kira, because it is the ultimate

00:05:48 --> 00:05:52

reminder of the tohave in its pure and simple form.

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

And some have called it a neuron.

00:05:57 --> 00:06:00

Because this is based on a Hadith of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe

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

Salam, in which he said that everything has a light and the

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

light of the Quran is a class, so neuron.

00:06:13 --> 00:06:19

Now, the next point that I want to cover is what we call the occasion

00:06:19 --> 00:06:23

of Revelation. Do we have something from our Syrah from what

00:06:23 --> 00:06:28

was going on in that early Macan period, as a result of which Allah

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

subhanaw taala revealed this?

00:06:31 --> 00:06:36

So there is a Hadith that is narrated by say you're gonna go by

00:06:36 --> 00:06:37

evening cup.

00:06:38 --> 00:06:43

Who said that the Quraysh came to Rasul Allah salAllahu Salam. And

00:06:43 --> 00:06:48

as you know, the Qureshi took a lot of pride in their lesson in

00:06:48 --> 00:06:53

the lineage of who they came from the Quraysh they came from

00:06:53 --> 00:06:58

coloration, so on So going back, they were very proud of the

00:06:58 --> 00:07:05

lineage and the family lines. So they came to a sort of la salida

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06

syndrome and said Yama

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

syndrome, tell us the lineage of your Lord.

00:07:12 --> 00:07:15

Tell us the Messiah, of your Lord.

00:07:17 --> 00:07:22

In response to which Allah subhanaw taala revealed this, that

00:07:22 --> 00:07:24

Allah has no lineage.

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

There is another narration that the Jews had also mentioned that

00:07:32 --> 00:07:32

Hosea

00:07:34 --> 00:07:38

and a Salah was the son of Allah and the Christians have mentioned

00:07:39 --> 00:07:43

that the Messiah mercy, Isa,

00:07:44 --> 00:07:50

La Silla is the Son of God, and they crush us to say that Allah

00:07:50 --> 00:07:55

has daughters that the angels are daughters. So Allah subhanaw taala

00:07:55 --> 00:07:59

revealed this in response to clarify all of these

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

beliefs that existed at the time.

00:08:03 --> 00:08:07

But that hadith of asking about the lineage is the most authentic.

00:08:09 --> 00:08:15

So what are some of the virtues of this the paradigm of surah Allah

00:08:15 --> 00:08:18

class, then it has so much importance.

00:08:22 --> 00:08:27

One day, a man came to rasool Allah salAllahu Salam, and he

00:08:27 --> 00:08:33

complained that I was with Falon, but some person, and all you

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

decides is Surah AirFloss, he keeps repeating it over and over

00:08:38 --> 00:08:39

and over and over again.

00:08:40 --> 00:08:45

And he also implied in a way that he was belittling it, that means

00:08:45 --> 00:08:49

that's not sufficient, you know, just one surah

00:08:50 --> 00:08:55

to which Rasulullah Salallahu Salam responded by saying, well

00:08:55 --> 00:09:00

let enough CBD in, let that at the loo, to loosen.

00:09:02 --> 00:09:07

I swear by the one in whose hand is my life, and Rasulullah

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

sallallahu. So it doesn't have to do that, because he's a mean the

00:09:11 --> 00:09:16

most truthful, but to stress the point he said by the one in whose

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18

hand I swear by Allah

00:09:19 --> 00:09:21

in this surah

00:09:23 --> 00:09:27

is equivalent to to Lucifer and 1/3 of the

00:09:30 --> 00:09:36

that's the importance of this, because the scholars have analyzed

00:09:36 --> 00:09:41

how to understand this 1/3 of the Quran. And some of them have said

00:09:41 --> 00:09:45

that 1/3 of the Quran is the hate of Allah.

00:09:46 --> 00:09:51

And this is a Surah of Turkey. So this is one interpretation of it.

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

And there are other Hadith that indicated that value, because one

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

day Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam found

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

In some of his companions sitting and he said, is one of you not

00:10:04 --> 00:10:09

able to recite 1/3 of the Quran in a single night? He asked this

00:10:09 --> 00:10:13

question. You see, the way of asking is such that nobody would

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

ever forget it. They said, is any one of you not able to recite 1/3

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

of the Quran in this era? So that's a lot. Who among us can

00:10:22 --> 00:10:26

recite 1/3 of the Quran in a night? For sunnah allah sallallahu

00:10:26 --> 00:10:30

alayhi salam said, Paul, who Allahu Allah has some of naamyaa

00:10:30 --> 00:10:35

Ledwell and Lulu Bellamy Aquila who prefer one ahead is equivalent

00:10:35 --> 00:10:40

to 1/3. In other words, they said, this is also implying that you

00:10:40 --> 00:10:43

should recite it in the night and you should recite it frequently.

00:10:44 --> 00:10:47

One day Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam submit some of his

00:10:47 --> 00:10:52

companions. This is Narrated by Abu Huraira, the Alon that they

00:10:52 --> 00:10:57

were passing by. And there was one person sitting and reciting surah

00:10:57 --> 00:11:02

and class and the Prophet salallahu Alaihe. Salam heard him

00:11:02 --> 00:11:07

and he responded by saying, why Java? Why Java means it is wajib

00:11:07 --> 00:11:08

it is obligatory.

00:11:10 --> 00:11:13

So Abu Huraira, who was with him, probably Alonso era,

00:11:14 --> 00:11:19

what is obligatory what is YG the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam

00:11:19 --> 00:11:21

said, for him an agenda

00:11:24 --> 00:11:29

because of the way he was reciting it, with full devotion, and belief

00:11:29 --> 00:11:34

in it Croswell masala said that Jana is YG just imagine somebody

00:11:34 --> 00:11:37

sitting and reciting. And we decided this all the time.

00:11:38 --> 00:11:43

Now, the Prophet salallahu Salam also taught his companions, he

00:11:43 --> 00:11:49

said, recite Surah Flass with the word attain which is surah and

00:11:49 --> 00:11:54

Phillip, a nurse, he said if you recite these three,

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

three times each morning and three times each evening, they will be

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

sufficient. He says tactica kula, Yeoman Murata that for you two

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

times every day, which will suffice you against every

00:12:13 --> 00:12:17

and another narration is a coalition for against everything.

00:12:17 --> 00:12:22

This is sufficient, it is sufficient. So it is an

00:12:22 --> 00:12:26

encouragement for us to recite Hello, Hola. Palau, the bramble

00:12:26 --> 00:12:31

Philip pull out abruptness three times each, in the morning, and

00:12:31 --> 00:12:34

three times each in the evening. And he said that should be

00:12:34 --> 00:12:38

sufficient for and he left it open didn't say sufficient for what

00:12:38 --> 00:12:42

purpose sufficient for everything. So

00:12:43 --> 00:12:49

how can we, as we say, we do these sessions because we want not just

00:12:49 --> 00:12:54

knowledge that this is sufficient or it is 1/3 of the Quran? How are

00:12:54 --> 00:12:58

we going to implement this in our lives in the simplest is after

00:12:58 --> 00:13:03

fajr. When we sit in record, we recite three times these three

00:13:03 --> 00:13:07

solos. And after maghrib, we recite three times this is if we

00:13:07 --> 00:13:12

get into that habit, then we have fulfilled the rights of this

00:13:12 --> 00:13:14

hadith and of what we're supposed to do.

00:13:16 --> 00:13:21

Also, one time, a man was making the half

00:13:22 --> 00:13:26

and he used this surah

00:13:27 --> 00:13:34

as a means by of falling Allah subhanaw taala. By these names, he

00:13:34 --> 00:13:41

said, Your Allah the Fallen is a shadow Allah Ilaha illa Allah. And

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

then he said, I'll go ahead and a hug

00:13:47 --> 00:13:47

and

00:13:49 --> 00:13:50

a summit

00:13:52 --> 00:13:54

lumea lit when I knew that when I'm making.

00:13:56 --> 00:14:00

So he used these names of Allah subhanaw taala and the Prophet

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

salallahu Alaihe Salam said again,

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

by the one in whose hands is my soul, he has asked Allah by His

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

greatest name, this will allow them

00:14:15 --> 00:14:21

the name by which if he is asked, he gives, and by which if he is

00:14:21 --> 00:14:29

called upon he answers. So in this Allah Summit, and I had the

00:14:29 --> 00:14:33

Prophet sallallahu indicated is that Greatest Name of Allah.

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

And it is the practice it was the practice of Rasulullah Salallahu

00:14:41 --> 00:14:44

Salam as narrated by our mother Aisha Radi Allahu anha.

00:14:46 --> 00:14:50

That every night every night Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam

00:14:50 --> 00:14:55

used to make this action. He used to recite the three sutras follow

00:14:55 --> 00:14:58

Allah who had Palau, the bramble falak Palau, the brahmanas, do

00:14:58 --> 00:14:59

those things

00:15:00 --> 00:15:04

And then starting with his head and his face, he would rub all of

00:15:04 --> 00:15:09

your muscle all over his body. He would do that three times every

00:15:09 --> 00:15:14

night. So this is another thing that we should make as part of our

00:15:14 --> 00:15:20

vicar before going to sleep. Because through this, the Prophet

00:15:20 --> 00:15:24

salallahu alayhi salam sought protection for himself and we are

00:15:24 --> 00:15:27

more in need of protection than he ever was.

00:15:31 --> 00:15:31

One time

00:15:33 --> 00:15:38

again, this is narrated by Omona Aisha Radi Allahu anha are bomba

00:15:39 --> 00:15:43

that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam sent out a Surya and if you

00:15:43 --> 00:15:47

remember the Surya is an expedition that was sent out in

00:15:47 --> 00:15:51

which the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam himself did not go so he

00:15:51 --> 00:15:56

appointed a Commander to take a small group of Sahaba

00:15:57 --> 00:15:59

in Jihad peace.

00:16:01 --> 00:16:06

Now, this commander, as you know, the commanders the Amir's used to

00:16:06 --> 00:16:10

also LEAD Center. They were not just for for the battlefield.

00:16:11 --> 00:16:17

So, in every Salah that he led, after he recited the Quran, he

00:16:17 --> 00:16:20

would complete it with sort of a class

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

in every

00:16:25 --> 00:16:32

so when this Surya this expedition came back, the Companions who were

00:16:32 --> 00:16:35

there who noticed this was unusual, came through Rasulullah

00:16:35 --> 00:16:39

sallallahu Sallam he said he also Allah, he would recite it in every

00:16:39 --> 00:16:40

single recap.

00:16:42 --> 00:16:47

So the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam said, Ask him, why he does.

00:16:48 --> 00:16:55

So they went and asked him and he or the Allahu said that

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

it is a description of a rough man, and I love to recite it.

00:17:01 --> 00:17:01

That's why I

00:17:03 --> 00:17:07

said, Surah lfls is the description of a rough man

00:17:08 --> 00:17:09

and I love to receive.

00:17:11 --> 00:17:14

When the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam heard this, he replied, He

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

said, after the rule, and Allah

00:17:19 --> 00:17:22

to Allah, you Hibou

00:17:24 --> 00:17:32

after the room, inform him, Allah, Allah, certainly Allah Allah loves

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

him. Why? Because he loves to

00:17:37 --> 00:17:42

imagine this is a certificate given to a companion whose name is

00:17:42 --> 00:17:43

not mentioned.

00:17:44 --> 00:17:48

By Rasul Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam, that Allah ludzi

00:17:50 --> 00:17:54

now that's a commendation, that's a certificate that you will be

00:17:54 --> 00:17:59

proud. There is a similar narration of another Shahabi This

00:17:59 --> 00:18:04

is narrated by an Astra the Alon that in muster the cobra, there

00:18:04 --> 00:18:09

was an I'm sorry, who was a good recital, so they would have him

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

recite the Quran. And he would after Surah Fatiha and every Raka,

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

he would start with Surah, a lifeless, and then he would recite

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

another

00:18:21 --> 00:18:24

then sometimes if you pray in our budget, you'll see our chef does

00:18:24 --> 00:18:25

that frequently.

00:18:27 --> 00:18:30

So his companions said to him,

00:18:31 --> 00:18:37

why do you do this? is surah Allah philos not sufficient that you

00:18:37 --> 00:18:40

have to add another Surah? Or is the other Surah not sufficient

00:18:40 --> 00:18:43

that you have to add Surah class? Why do you put both?

00:18:44 --> 00:18:45

So he said,

00:18:48 --> 00:18:53

I swear, I will never live doing this. If you don't like this, then

00:18:53 --> 00:18:54

I will not read this.

00:18:56 --> 00:18:59

So they get what actually then the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam

00:18:59 --> 00:19:03

went one time to provide you know, he used to go there frequently.

00:19:03 --> 00:19:06

And they came to him and they said they informed him

00:19:07 --> 00:19:13

that so and so for Allah does this. So also Allah asked him, he

00:19:13 --> 00:19:17

said, What prevents you from doing as your companions command you?

00:19:18 --> 00:19:22

And what makes you adhere stick to this recitation and every raka

00:19:23 --> 00:19:27

his response was in need, okay, Buddha.

00:19:28 --> 00:19:31

Certainly, surely I love it.

00:19:32 --> 00:19:36

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam said, hook mocha Iya. At the

00:19:36 --> 00:19:42

follicle, gentlemen, your love for the surah has entered you into

00:19:42 --> 00:19:43

gentlemen.

00:19:44 --> 00:19:48

This is the for dialogue this, this surah

00:19:49 --> 00:19:52

also the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam taught us

00:19:53 --> 00:19:59

that reciting Surah Alif last 10 times, said Allah will build

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

palace for you in general.

00:20:03 --> 00:20:07

And in another narration that's narrated by a diary me Mama dad

00:20:07 --> 00:20:12

me, he said, and if you recite it 20 times, then two palaces in

00:20:12 --> 00:20:16

general. So over Abner top, so the Messiah, the NAMA probably Allah

00:20:16 --> 00:20:21

Han said we will do more than the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam

00:20:21 --> 00:20:23

said, and Allah is more generous.

00:20:24 --> 00:20:30

So my dear brothers and sisters, you can build a palace in Jannah

00:20:30 --> 00:20:36

for yourself. Morning in it. And again, knowing about it is one

00:20:36 --> 00:20:40

thing doing it is another thing. So I strongly recommend that in

00:20:40 --> 00:20:43

your morning at God, like we said, we put three of those after

00:20:43 --> 00:20:48

Salatin fudgy, just recite polu, Allah had 10 times after maghrib

00:20:48 --> 00:20:51

10 times, that's what I do. That's what I was taught to.

00:20:52 --> 00:20:57

So every day you have a minimum of two palaces, built in Jannah. For

00:20:58 --> 00:21:02

now, the question is, what does it mean to palaces built in general,

00:21:02 --> 00:21:07

they are being built for you that means you are making your place in

00:21:07 --> 00:21:11

general, if the palaces are built for you, Allah subhanaw taala will

00:21:11 --> 00:21:12

certainly enter you.

00:21:13 --> 00:21:17

So that's something that we should do and make part of our will.

00:21:18 --> 00:21:24

Regular litany of our 10 times a class in the morning 10 times in

00:21:24 --> 00:21:27

the evening, and the best way to remember it is to link it with the

00:21:27 --> 00:21:28

budget and the Maghrib.

00:21:32 --> 00:21:32

Now,

00:21:33 --> 00:21:38

also, about this surah that the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam,

00:21:38 --> 00:21:42

there is a link between this Surah Surah Al capital as

00:21:44 --> 00:21:47

the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam told us recite Surah capital

00:21:48 --> 00:21:51

Surah Alif last well, if you remember

00:21:57 --> 00:22:03

this is done were in these days where the Hoja at mahkamah

00:22:03 --> 00:22:08

Ibrahim, the to record that is done in maqam. Ibrahim, first Raka

00:22:08 --> 00:22:13

and capital. Second raka Allah Allah, the Prophet salallahu

00:22:13 --> 00:22:17

Alaihe Salam as was mentioned, used to frequently recite this in

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

the Sunnah of Fajr before the Fajr Salah he would recite

00:22:23 --> 00:22:27

Kalia Johann Catalonian follow Allah had enough in the Sunnah.

00:22:27 --> 00:22:31

And after maghrib frequently in the Sunnah, he will recite

00:22:32 --> 00:22:37

and he also recited it frequently in the Doha Salah. So, there these

00:22:37 --> 00:22:41

are some of the times that are mentioned where these two sutras

00:22:41 --> 00:22:43

are frequently linked and bread together.

00:22:45 --> 00:22:53

So, what is the wire the pairing between Al Catherine and LF last

00:22:56 --> 00:23:01

El Cap rule expresses the complete towhees

00:23:03 --> 00:23:08

along with this, how is that because I'll character rule is the

00:23:08 --> 00:23:13

denial of false gods and all false forms of worship.

00:23:14 --> 00:23:17

And Alif last is the affirmation

00:23:18 --> 00:23:19

of the talking government.

00:23:21 --> 00:23:25

That it is Allah and Carter owners, we will not do what you

00:23:27 --> 00:23:29

sow, if you look at it another way.

00:23:31 --> 00:23:36

L capital also expresses the Tauheed of action of worship,

00:23:38 --> 00:23:42

external actions, more to do with external action that I will not I

00:23:42 --> 00:23:47

do not worship what you worship, and you do not worship what I was.

00:23:47 --> 00:23:52

And I will not worship what you worship. And you will not worship

00:23:52 --> 00:23:56

what I worship. Your deen is the almighty it is one. So it's an

00:23:56 --> 00:23:59

expression of dark themes of external action that I do not do

00:23:59 --> 00:24:04

and will not do what you do, which is Shift. And I left last is an

00:24:04 --> 00:24:09

expression of internal Tauheed of belief of Aqeedah which I believe

00:24:09 --> 00:24:14

is not a surah of action. It's a belief that I believe in believe

00:24:14 --> 00:24:16

in Allah as he says in the sewer.

00:24:17 --> 00:24:22

So if you put the two together the internal Tawhid of a class and the

00:24:22 --> 00:24:27

external Tauheed of capital, it makes a complete expression of

00:24:27 --> 00:24:34

doubt. That's why the two together are also known as fresh fish Aton.

00:24:34 --> 00:24:35

The two cures

00:24:37 --> 00:24:40

cures you from all forms of ship

00:24:46 --> 00:24:47

Imam Arrazi

00:24:49 --> 00:24:53

has written he has given an example of the surah again he has

00:24:53 --> 00:24:57

said he said the entire Quran is like an oyster oyster shell

00:24:58 --> 00:25:00

and the poor in

00:25:00 --> 00:25:02

side is Kulu Allahu Allah

00:25:03 --> 00:25:07

because ultimately everything comes to the top.

00:25:10 --> 00:25:16

So that's our introduction to surah. A class, it's how it was

00:25:16 --> 00:25:22

revealed why it was revealed. It's further fertile. Now we will start

00:25:22 --> 00:25:28

with the surah itself. Allah Subhana Allah says bull. Hua Allah

00:25:28 --> 00:25:31

ahead. Kulu Allahu Ahad.

00:25:32 --> 00:25:38

So the call is a command to Rasul Allah salAllahu Salam, which means

00:25:38 --> 00:25:39

say,

00:25:41 --> 00:25:45

say to who? To the people who are asking,

00:25:46 --> 00:25:50

what is the lineage, what is the nisab of your Lord?

00:25:51 --> 00:25:56

Tell them who He, Allah.

00:25:57 --> 00:25:58

I had

00:26:00 --> 00:26:02

three names of Allah, Hua

00:26:04 --> 00:26:05

Allah ahead.

00:26:07 --> 00:26:11

Say, Allah is one

00:26:13 --> 00:26:14

that will go into the details of

00:26:18 --> 00:26:19

the HUD

00:26:20 --> 00:26:25

means one, and why it is another name of Allah, which also means

00:26:25 --> 00:26:25

one.

00:26:27 --> 00:26:29

But they cannot be even though some people have said they're

00:26:29 --> 00:26:34

synonyms, you know, in a general meaning Yes, because they both

00:26:34 --> 00:26:38

talk about oneness. But Allah subhanaw taala doesn't repeat

00:26:38 --> 00:26:44

unless there is some differences. So the word the name or had, the

00:26:44 --> 00:26:52

one is considered as the absolute, undivided divisible oneness that

00:26:52 --> 00:26:56

is unique, and nothing can be added to it, it cannot be divided,

00:26:57 --> 00:26:59

and nothing can be added to it.

00:27:00 --> 00:27:08

That it is the one of Allah is alone, perfect in his names and

00:27:08 --> 00:27:13

attributes and actions. And this word, this name 100 is used only

00:27:13 --> 00:27:14

for Allah.

00:27:15 --> 00:27:20

And it indicates the internal oneness that Allah is one by

00:27:20 --> 00:27:21

himself.

00:27:22 --> 00:27:26

Versus Whitehead with some scholars say is the external

00:27:26 --> 00:27:30

oneness means Allah is one in relationship to everything else,

00:27:30 --> 00:27:32

he is one and everything else is a multitude.

00:27:34 --> 00:27:35

That's how Whitehead is understood.

00:27:37 --> 00:27:41

And, you know, these are certain things. So, linguistically, they

00:27:41 --> 00:27:48

said, another way is, I heard is a negation isn't nothing, because

00:27:48 --> 00:27:53

the way HUD is used use, you use something like, like ma ra Ito,

00:27:53 --> 00:27:59

who I had, I did not see anyone. So it's a negation.

00:28:00 --> 00:28:04

So they say had is a negation of everything that has been

00:28:04 --> 00:28:10

attributed to Allah that is not him. Whereas Whitehead is an

00:28:10 --> 00:28:13

affirmation that Allah is One

00:28:15 --> 00:28:21

Whitehead is used as right to Rajan, why Whitehead, I saw one

00:28:21 --> 00:28:27

man. So I had this one, I had this the exclusion of everything and

00:28:27 --> 00:28:32

therefore leaning only one. So there is a subtle difference. Some

00:28:32 --> 00:28:38

see that has a higher degree of Divine oneness or toughy of Allah

00:28:38 --> 00:28:43

subhanaw taala without any consideration of His creation, in

00:28:43 --> 00:28:46

other words, Allah is ahead whether there is creation or not.

00:28:47 --> 00:28:47

Okay.

00:28:49 --> 00:28:56

And it supersedes or it excludes the meaning of conveying all of

00:28:56 --> 00:29:01

his attributes 99 And more of his names and attributes, he is a hard

00:29:02 --> 00:29:06

whereas warhead includes all of those, that he is one in terms of

00:29:06 --> 00:29:10

his attributes, he is one as compared to the multitude of His

00:29:10 --> 00:29:14

creation. So some have said and again, these are subtle things

00:29:14 --> 00:29:17

difficult to understand, they are both names of Allah subhanaw

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

taala. So some have said that the head conveys all the total

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

negative things of the divine attributes. What do you mean by

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

negative things or divine attributes that Allah is not body?

00:29:34 --> 00:29:39

Allah is not substance, Allah is not gender, Allah has not given a

00:29:39 --> 00:29:47

sun, Allah is not unjust value. So all those negations are part of a

00:29:47 --> 00:29:47

head

00:29:53 --> 00:29:58

and they say that Whitehead is a totality of all the positive

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

attributes that Allah

00:30:00 --> 00:30:05

is the Creator, Allah is the sustainer he is the provider, He

00:30:05 --> 00:30:11

is the giver. All of those would go under. Why? So this is your

00:30:11 --> 00:30:12

opinion of somebody.

00:30:14 --> 00:30:20

So that's some differences are subtle, and Allah knows best. So

00:30:20 --> 00:30:25

we say, Allah subhanaw taala command school, who are this who

00:30:26 --> 00:30:27

is he?

00:30:29 --> 00:30:32

But this is a very special Hua because was used for everybody

00:30:32 --> 00:30:38

else who are, you know, for any men, but this is a special one

00:30:38 --> 00:30:40

because it is for Allah.

00:30:41 --> 00:30:44

And some of the scholars especially the spiritually

00:30:46 --> 00:30:51

astute scholars have said that this is ultimately this Hua is the

00:30:51 --> 00:30:57

is Milan because it's undifferentiated, it is refers

00:30:57 --> 00:31:00

only to the essence the data from loss

00:31:01 --> 00:31:06

and some have considered it like that. And it is again they said

00:31:06 --> 00:31:10

beyond the consideration of attributes whereas when you say

00:31:10 --> 00:31:16

Allah, again implying this is him, but with all of his attributes

00:31:16 --> 00:31:19

included, that Allah is

00:31:22 --> 00:31:23

a summit.

00:31:24 --> 00:31:26

So Allah is the name

00:31:27 --> 00:31:33

with all the attributes including

00:31:34 --> 00:31:36

the creator the sustainer, but nor the powerful.

00:31:39 --> 00:31:46

So this the name Allah has also called this will Jana, the name

00:31:46 --> 00:31:47

that gathers everything.

00:31:49 --> 00:31:56

So some of the people have used this as part of their GPA that

00:31:56 --> 00:31:59

they use the school in law

00:32:00 --> 00:32:07

starting with something like yahoo, yahoo, Min Liang Hua Allahu

00:32:09 --> 00:32:10

Yahuwah.

00:32:11 --> 00:32:13

Oh he talked about Allah.

00:32:14 --> 00:32:18

Yeah, or mon language

00:32:20 --> 00:32:27

or the one other than Gu La Ilaha there is no one. But

00:32:28 --> 00:32:31

so these are some of the ways in which people have used because

00:32:31 --> 00:32:35

they want to use the name of Allah subhanaw taala. Then Allah

00:32:35 --> 00:32:40

subhanaw taala says Kullu Allahu Ahad Allah Who Samad now if you

00:32:40 --> 00:32:41

notice,

00:32:43 --> 00:32:47

take out the pool, we have Hua for Allah, Allah.

00:32:50 --> 00:32:54

Allah Summit, we are hearing nothing in this about anything

00:32:54 --> 00:33:00

except the names of Allah. This is the last Allah a summit. So what

00:33:00 --> 00:33:07

is a summer again, a salad is the name that only appears in the one

00:33:07 --> 00:33:14

time and that's here, nowhere else. And again like Allah, like a

00:33:14 --> 00:33:18

hat, it is a name that cannot be used by anyone else. You cannot

00:33:18 --> 00:33:19

call somebody someone.

00:33:21 --> 00:33:24

He would be up this summit, like high level

00:33:25 --> 00:33:30

like rock man, everyone else would be under high level of document of

00:33:30 --> 00:33:35

the summit. So what does a summit mean? Some of the some of the

00:33:35 --> 00:33:42

means to be totally independent, not in need of anyone. So and not

00:33:42 --> 00:33:48

just in need, but eternally forever. So, one way of saying

00:33:48 --> 00:33:49

Samad would be

00:33:51 --> 00:33:57

absolutely, that means that every aspect eternally, forever

00:33:57 --> 00:34:02

independently without dependency sufficient unto himself.

00:34:04 --> 00:34:10

Allah is absolutely eternally independently sufficient by and

00:34:10 --> 00:34:17

unto Himself, not in need of any of his creation. Why? Because he

00:34:17 --> 00:34:23

is the primary cause of everything he has always been before

00:34:23 --> 00:34:30

creation, and He will always be after creation ceases to exist.

00:34:30 --> 00:34:32

This is somebody from

00:34:34 --> 00:34:39

another meaning that it is implied in it is the one that all of

00:34:39 --> 00:34:45

creation universally seeks and depends upon for their own

00:34:45 --> 00:34:49

existence, their needs, their requests, because they are totally

00:34:49 --> 00:34:56

dependent upon him, whereas he is totally independent of them. So

00:34:56 --> 00:34:59

one on whom the entire creation, the sun

00:35:00 --> 00:35:06

alone the angels, human beings, everything depends on him for

00:35:06 --> 00:35:12

their existence, and he depends on know. That is some of the

00:35:13 --> 00:35:20

the master who is sought who people look for. That's why a sign

00:35:20 --> 00:35:25

here and it must move the master who is must move summit whose

00:35:25 --> 00:35:27

summit they are people seek

00:35:28 --> 00:35:32

because he is the source of everything whose control is

00:35:32 --> 00:35:33

complete,

00:35:34 --> 00:35:36

who is perfect in his sovereignty

00:35:38 --> 00:35:39

as a man who is

00:35:41 --> 00:35:47

perfect in his nobility, produce in his magnificence in his

00:35:47 --> 00:35:52

forbearance as Helene in his knowledge as Elaine in his wisdom

00:35:52 --> 00:35:54

as hacking in his authority.

00:35:55 --> 00:36:00

So, this is all within that somebody are homeless, beyond all

00:36:00 --> 00:36:01

comprehension.

00:36:03 --> 00:36:08

Then Allah subhanaw taala says lumea lid wollam units

00:36:09 --> 00:36:14

Love is a denial in the past tense. Yeah, let me means to be

00:36:14 --> 00:36:20

get to procreate to give birth, he does not give birth, while love

00:36:20 --> 00:36:25

you let and he is not given birth to his not procreate procreate or

00:36:25 --> 00:36:26

begotten.

00:36:27 --> 00:36:32

So, He begets not and is not begotten, or he does not give

00:36:32 --> 00:36:39

birth and he was not born because he is a Samad. He has no spouse,

00:36:40 --> 00:36:44

no parents, no offsprings, no sons, no daughters, no peers, no

00:36:44 --> 00:36:45

equal.

00:36:46 --> 00:36:53

Why is that, because anything that is begotten of born, what happens,

00:36:53 --> 00:36:54

dies.

00:36:56 --> 00:37:01

And when only somebody has died, then you can speak of lineage.

00:37:02 --> 00:37:05

Because without death, there is no lineage.

00:37:06 --> 00:37:10

Say that was my father and before him them before him before means

00:37:10 --> 00:37:14

they all passed away. This is my lineage. They will ask him about

00:37:14 --> 00:37:17

lineage. Allah subhanaw taala says He begets not how can you have a

00:37:17 --> 00:37:18

lineage

00:37:19 --> 00:37:25

and whoever is born, dies, leaves behind inheritance, Allah does not

00:37:25 --> 00:37:29

die and he does not leave behind any inheritance he owns. He

00:37:29 --> 00:37:30

inherits everything.

00:37:33 --> 00:37:38

So Allah subhanaw taala, in these few words, has answered

00:37:41 --> 00:37:47

all the belief questions about himself in response to does he

00:37:47 --> 00:37:50

have lineage? Was there a beginning does it depend? All of

00:37:50 --> 00:37:55

those are answered in these few words, which only talk about him?

00:37:58 --> 00:38:01

So in this regard, there is a Hadith of pudsey that Rasul allah

00:38:01 --> 00:38:05

sallallahu alayhi, Salam protests, you said, Allah subhanaw taala

00:38:05 --> 00:38:11

says, the son of Adam denies me or tells a lie against me, and he has

00:38:11 --> 00:38:16

no right to to do that. And the son of Adam, he abuses me, he

00:38:16 --> 00:38:20

curses me, and he has no right to do that.

00:38:21 --> 00:38:28

Then he said, and he denies me when he says that I will not

00:38:28 --> 00:38:34

resurrect him, bring him back to life, as I created him the first.

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

So anyone who denies that resurrection, Allah subhanaw taala

00:38:38 --> 00:38:43

says, has denied me and told a lie against him, whereas it is easier

00:38:44 --> 00:38:48

to recreate than the first creation. And he said, when he

00:38:49 --> 00:38:55

abuses me, he curses me who says that I have you gotten a son or a

00:38:55 --> 00:38:55

daughter?

00:38:57 --> 00:39:01

It is considered a curse against Allah subhanaw taala.

00:39:03 --> 00:39:09

He said, whereas I am a somewhat eternally self sufficient master.

00:39:09 --> 00:39:14

I do not give birth nor was I born, and there is nothing

00:39:14 --> 00:39:15

comparable to

00:39:16 --> 00:39:22

lamea cool love whoo hoo for one. That's how the surah hands were

00:39:22 --> 00:39:26

numb to denials. Allah does not beget he was not big Archer is

00:39:26 --> 00:39:31

does not give birth he was not born while lung and yakun low.

00:39:32 --> 00:39:37

There is no one like him. Who for one, who for one means has a

00:39:37 --> 00:39:41

likeness or equal or comparable.

00:39:42 --> 00:39:47

What have a similarity Google one means equal or comparable, Allah

00:39:47 --> 00:39:53

Samantha, listen, there is no not one not ahead. Not a single thing

00:39:54 --> 00:39:59

that can be equal or comparable or like a muscle. He is absolutely

00:39:59 --> 00:39:59

unique.

00:40:00 --> 00:40:07

If no one is compatible, no one is equal to, in his, that, in his

00:40:07 --> 00:40:07

being,

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

in his,

00:40:11 --> 00:40:16

in his attributes, in his smell in his names, in his actions in his

00:40:16 --> 00:40:21

ad, Allah is unique and nothing is like

00:40:23 --> 00:40:29

that's how Allah subhanaw taala ends to give us a pure idea of

00:40:29 --> 00:40:33

debate of Allah subhanaw taala who of who he is. And this is also

00:40:34 --> 00:40:35

mentioned elsewhere in the Quran.

00:40:37 --> 00:40:39

When Allah subhanaw taala says in

00:40:40 --> 00:40:45

elsewhere he says about himself, far go to somewhere where it will

00:40:45 --> 00:40:50

art, the originator and creator of the heavens and the earth.

00:40:51 --> 00:40:54

Jah Allah, Allah to mean unphysical as Raja,

00:40:55 --> 00:41:01

the one he made for you, spouses from amongst yourself,

00:41:02 --> 00:41:08

were menial and as Raj and among the cattle, their mates

00:41:10 --> 00:41:15

Yatra are comfy in this way he multiplies. Then Allah subhanaw

00:41:15 --> 00:41:20

taala says which is relevant to this LASIK? Admittedly, he shaved

00:41:20 --> 00:41:27

while he was semi on bus, laser denial, care, likeness, metal

00:41:28 --> 00:41:32

likeness, shape, there is nothing even like the likeness of Allah

00:41:32 --> 00:41:37

subhanaw taala that's like an absolute denial of fish be that

00:41:37 --> 00:41:39

there is nothing that you can think that you can say Allah is

00:41:39 --> 00:41:45

like this. Even what you think that might be, is denied. So Allah

00:41:45 --> 00:41:50

said first says denial by Lysa then he does attack it by saying

00:41:50 --> 00:41:55

cat means like, then he says Mr. Which is also like, so he's used

00:41:55 --> 00:42:00

every form of that. So literally, it means there is nothing even

00:42:00 --> 00:42:02

like the likeness of him.

00:42:04 --> 00:42:09

Well, who was some you're in yet? He were, Samia must see, that she

00:42:09 --> 00:42:10

hears.

00:42:12 --> 00:42:18

And he sees. Now he mentioned that because we hear and we see. So

00:42:18 --> 00:42:23

what does that mean? You're hearing and you're seeing and my

00:42:23 --> 00:42:29

hearing and my scene is nothing like what Allah hears and sees the

00:42:29 --> 00:42:31

words of the sacred, that's all

00:42:32 --> 00:42:33

because attributes are the same.

00:42:35 --> 00:42:39

You can show Rama, Allah shows Rama, the terminology is the same,

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

but there are nothing equal.

00:42:45 --> 00:42:47

So this is in summary.

00:42:49 --> 00:42:57

So the class, absolute purity of Turkey, Allah Samantha Allah gives

00:42:57 --> 00:43:02

no commandments, asks nothing of you informs you of nothing other

00:43:02 --> 00:43:07

than himself industry. You're already sore after hate.

00:43:09 --> 00:43:10

Who is Allah?

00:43:12 --> 00:43:16

And that says, and everything, there is no commandment, this is

00:43:16 --> 00:43:17

something to be

00:43:19 --> 00:43:22

internalized, and embedded in our hearts.

00:43:24 --> 00:43:28

Now reflect how the surah starts. It's a command to the Prophet

00:43:28 --> 00:43:33

sallallahu some people say this, it's a command to us say this.

00:43:34 --> 00:43:37

Is this though here's something for us to just tell people just

00:43:37 --> 00:43:38

say it.

00:43:41 --> 00:43:46

Who should we say to First I need to say first to Michael.

00:43:47 --> 00:43:53

So that it gets embedded so that it's internalized this towhid of

00:43:53 --> 00:43:57

Allah subhanaw taala as he has described himself, so I say it to

00:43:57 --> 00:44:03

myself, once it's here. Now I can tell people about it's not just

00:44:03 --> 00:44:07

tell them and inside I am harboring all kinds of doubts and

00:44:07 --> 00:44:07

shit.

00:44:09 --> 00:44:12

And I'm attributing to Allah subhanaw taala which he has denied

00:44:18 --> 00:44:20

so the first recipient of this

00:44:21 --> 00:44:22

should be me.

00:44:24 --> 00:44:29

I should recite it, reflect on it over and over hundreds of times.

00:44:30 --> 00:44:33

My chef frequently makes us when we go out

00:44:34 --> 00:44:38

Rahula with him. Every night he will sit he said recite everybody

00:44:38 --> 00:44:40

besides Hello Allah had 100 times

00:44:42 --> 00:44:47

besides internal light and not fast thinking about it, besides

00:44:47 --> 00:44:49

building 10 palaces in jail

00:44:50 --> 00:44:56

and it doesn't take long. Get into the habit of reciting the surah

00:44:56 --> 00:44:59

all the time all the time. Till we love it and we

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

It's not just an expression of saying I love it, those companions

00:45:04 --> 00:45:08

of the prophet or the Allahu Anhu said that we used it. And when

00:45:08 --> 00:45:11

they said, because I love it in New York,

00:45:12 --> 00:45:13

in New York,

00:45:14 --> 00:45:18

they mentioned it was coming from inside. They couldn't do without

00:45:18 --> 00:45:22

it. He loved the description of Alaska.

00:45:23 --> 00:45:25

Now if we have that love, then

00:45:27 --> 00:45:33

agenda, why Java is obligatory? So we asked Allah subhanaw taala.

00:45:34 --> 00:45:41

With his best names, we asked who are by his name, Allah was never

00:45:41 --> 00:45:42

advised Samad

00:45:44 --> 00:45:46

by his name and height and by young

00:45:47 --> 00:45:52

that Allah subhanaw taala gave us the happycar of surah Allah flast

00:45:52 --> 00:45:58

the ultimate key and the heartache in our man in our actions are al

00:45:58 --> 00:45:59

Cathey rule

00:46:01 --> 00:46:04

that every aspect of our life reflects that

00:46:08 --> 00:46:09

every deal

00:46:12 --> 00:46:17

that becomes embedded, our lives will change and we will reflect

00:46:17 --> 00:46:19

the lore of the Quran, which is

00:46:21 --> 00:46:25

just Allah subhanaw taala to make that a reality for us. Withdrawal

00:46:25 --> 00:46:29

has helped us to recite the surah over and over again as much as we

00:46:29 --> 00:46:33

can and frequently enough Salah and to reflect on

00:46:34 --> 00:46:40

me, inshallah. We will open this up for questions and comments.

00:46:42 --> 00:46:45

We have about 15 minutes before Margaret
