Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Bismillah
Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah by Allah Allah He
was Sahbihi women
on how much dama Samia alumina, the creek, Aloha Marina al hochkar
have gone on to talk about our original bow to Allah bouton was
organized cinema.
We praise and glorify Allah subhanaw taala and you send peace
and blessings on his most noble of creation, the Noble Messenger, our
beloved prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa salam,
and we seek ALLAH subhanaw taala as help in our journey to him, we
ask Allah subhanaw taala as guidance, we ask Allah subhanaw
taala to open our hearts to his remembrance, to open our hearts to
his guidance, to make our hearts receptive of the words that Allah
subhanaw taala revealed from above the seven heavens, to have an
impact on our hearts, words that came as a blessing and a mercy of
Allah subhanaw taala came to us through one of the greatest, if
not the greatest Mercy of Allah subhanaw taala which is in the
form of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa salam
Ramadan, Lil Alameen is a must one of Allah tells us, we ask Allah
subhanaw taala to give us his companionship and the
companionship of his Sahaba
because we are far removed chronologically by centuries from
him, yet we love Him, we believe in him without having seen him. As
he said, I would love to see my brothers.
If Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave us the title of
brothers, he said, Those who believe in me without seeing me.
So just for that, we seek ALLAH subhanaw taala as mercy that just
use that because we have no deeds on which to stand on.
And we see these tragedies every day as had been mentioned, of our
dear friends and companions who are passing away from one reason
or another COVID being one of those excuses, and inshallah after
the session we will do dua for all of them.
Again, a reminder for myself and for all of you, my dear brothers
and sisters, that our sessions of Quran are a reminder for each
other. I am no scholar, this is first reminder for me, that what
we learn we take from the sources, the original sources, the accepted
or lemma the accepted interpretations, that we
internalize them and we put them into action Allah subhanaw taala
calls us to act on what He commands he asks us to act on what
He prohibits. So without action, these are empty words. In fact,
they become evidence against us on the Day of Judgment and there is
some reference to that in today's halacha So, again, the reminder
that we take the words of Allah subhanaw taala very seriously, we
analyze our lives with that standard, Where do I stand because
one day just like our friends are leaving We will be leaving and we
will see everything what we sent forward and what we left behind.
Today we embark on another makin Surah early makansutra which is
surah in football
see a year for a team Masha a rocket back
he put you together and what CABAC means something that you connect
and put together you know like we have one of these Lego blocks.
Right Kibaki put them together last month Allah said he puts you
together. Where to put the eyes where to put the ears where to put
the knows where to put the heart where to put the liver, he puts
you together, bring your parts and put them together perfectly fee as
sort of the way he wanted Masha Allah Kovak the way he did, the
way he wanted. He made your sewer, your form.
Not just your face, your facial features, the proportions, how
everything is put together. Allah smart Allah is reminding us that
these are all of his blessings that we all gratitude for
Every part of our body for every cell of our body
every emotion that Allah created, see what happens when emotions
become imbalanced.
You know, whether it's depression, whether it's anxiety, whether it's
OCD, whether it's all of these things, see what happens even
worse, when the spiritual aspect gets imbalanced when people start
doubting and denying a masala when they start putting partners in
love with Allah subhanaw taala. So Allah subhanaw taala has given us
a balance, and he's reminding us of that, that everything you have
in the realm of as a being as a creation of Allah is from him.
killable to cut the bone a bit. Allah subhanaw taala says no,
but you to cut the bone, you deny, you belie you
falsely
negate.
Now what are the things that people negate, starting number one
negation of Allah subhanaw taala is exist existence, negation of
his head by ship, negation of his kalam of his revelation by saying
this is the words of, of Satan or Mazoon negation of His Rasul Allah
Allah Allah Salam by saying that he is a guy in his imagination. He
is a Shire. All of these denials have been mentioned elsewhere in
the Quran.
But here Allah subhanaw taala is saying that you deny a deen
to cut the guna Dean. Generally when we use the word Dean, we call
it a way of life. But the word Dean originally comes from Dan.
Dan, Dan means alone.
I had to Dane alone, what is it? What is the meaning significance
of a loan, that you have taken a certain thing which needs to be
returned Exactly. Precisely.
That there is precision in the blessings of Allah subhanaw taala,
which needs to be repaid.
For example, by obedience, repayment of the eyes,
by obedience of the eyes, repayment of the tongue, by good
words and truth, repayment of the body by obedience, and so on, so
forth.
repayment of the parents, by obedience and honoring of them,
repayment for the children by by bringing them up the tarbiyah in
in the best way and teaching them that the that this is and
therefore that becomes accountability. That's why this
word Dean is sometimes in some translation, that you've denied
the judgment. What is the judgment, it's a day of
reconciling your actions with what was given to you, that's a
judgment.
And if you fix all of those, that is your way of life, every aspect
of your life should be balanced. Your body has a right as the
Hadith says, of Rasulullah sallallahu. Listen, your spouse
has a right you know, Allah has a right and so on so forth and give
your right to everyone.
So Allah subhanaw taala saying you deny that you act in a way as if
there is no judgment.
So you are acting even though you say yes, they have judgment, we
talk about it, and we joke about it and so on, so that it's not a
joke, as we've we've seen before. So Allah subhanaw taala saying you
deny all of those things and one of the biggest thing that makes
you forget, you know what makes us Allah smart Allah asked that
question the rhetorical question, or insaan Are you forgetful men?
What has made you lured away or forgetful or deceived from your
Lord? Here's the answer in another way. One of the biggest reason is,
you don't truly believe that there is a day of judgment therefore,
you are heedless of the one in front of whom you will stand.
And that Allah subhanaw taala reminds us what in NA Alikum la
how filming
and indeed in Aleykum right on top of you closely watching you I lay
can lead for Turkey in Hatfield in Hatfield in. This refers to the
angels, the recording angels. Why are they
called half alien, because sometimes we have the concept of,
of guardian angels, that these angels that Allah is now going to
mention further are guarding your deeds.
Whatever you do, you know
is in their records, they are the guardians, they will keep it and
protected nothing is going to be lost, nothing is going to be
neglected. So they are doing the Hefa the protection, they are the
security guards of your deeds, good and bad.
In the nose, as we said before, is for removal of doubt. Without
doubt, indeed
there are guardians on you, you don't see them. They are on your
right hand and your left as I had these tells us and what are Allah
subhanaw taala talks about these angels by saying ki Rahman Kathy
me, first of all, he gives their character
can you remember that from last Surah Kira men, Bharara also
talking about the angels who carried
the revelation Quran honored honorable,
no mistakes. No abandoning of their duty.
No bribery.
honest, honorable Kurama are the ones who are recording a Kurama
nobody can say that they fell asleep on the job.
They lost some of your deeds. They recorded wrongly they were biased
against you Allah subhanaw taala first gives that characteristic
Kelemen Cantigny the way it is put Caribbean is in Arabic grammar
called Ismar. But for all which means not just they're
continuously recording
the honorable ends and you can translate that as
applause you are
honorable angels who are continuously recording and
protecting your deeds to be presented on the Day of Judgment.
So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us that nothing that you do
is going to go unnoticed
and he could have stopped that but Allah subhanaw taala stresses the
point further and the next time he says yeah Allah Munna, mattify
loon. They know the recording angels man again ma open
everything that alone that you do. And we mentioned before the
difference between Darfur alone in time alone, Hamill generally
involves
intention. And you planning that alone is everything that you do
automatically with intention without dreams. They know
everything that you do.
Every blink of the eye, every gaze, every movement of the
finger, everything that goes yet they don't know your intention
because Allah subhanaw taala is the only one who knows the
intention. Their job is to record. They're seeing the record, they're
seeing the record. Sometimes as we have Hadith, they see or hear
something they don't know how to record it and they go to Allah
Subhana Allah and Allah subhanaw taala says, My surgeon said that's
recorded for him exactly like that. And I will I will give. So
Allah subhanaw taala is the only one so when these deeds will come
on the Day of Judgment, they will bring everything and there may be
volumes of volumes of good deeds. Yet what can happen if the
intention because they are only recording what were they're seeing
externally, the Salah is being done. They don't know. If you are
doing Salah to show people impress people they are recording Salah
done
so Allah subhanaw taala tells us elsewhere in the Quran that the
deeds of some people will remain huband Mombasa just like scattered
dust. Why? Because the intention wasn't.
So the only one the greater Guardian Allahu khairan Halophila
Allah Samantha says elsewhere in the Quran that he is a greater
better you know Guardian protector
of your deeds because he knows what the angels don't which was
the intention behind so Allah smart Allah anywhere is telling us
that everything that you do
how you look
how you speak, what you're hearing what you're doing, how you're
spending your time, alone, in darkness, daylight and company in
public, private everything is known to that.
So this Allah subhanaw taala is telling us that this is
A record recording system that Allah subhanaw taala has, how it
is sent forward, they have this and it will be presented to you on
the Day of Judgment which is forward for us in time.
Okay, so all of your deeds are being if you will forwarded and we
know that concept very well these days. In our current terminology,
we forward messages, we forward emails we forward things we have
sent once we forward it, there is no getting it back.
So we have to be careful of what we forward of our deeds. Just like
we should be careful of what we forward on our WhatsApp and emails
and all of that.
Now what is going to be the consequence of this? The Day of
Judgment is established. Every person knows what they have done
already in their hearts and in their minds. And then the angels
have all the records. Now Allah subhanaw taala says there are only
two destinations in Aurora Luffy name indeed, the Abrar will be in
joyful bliss nein, nein nein means something that gives you a lot of
joy and pleasure.
Bliss.
In again for tequila, certainly who abre
what Abrar the plural of
beer bear righteousness Abrar people who are the righteous now
in the previous Surah which we had done. One of the characteristics
of the angels what was what key Rahman Bharara remember honorable
angels barraba
righteous. The word Bharara when it's used in Arabic, it's for
Gemma of tech theatre vendors, a lot of them because all the angels
are like that. And Abrar when there are few of them, because of
human beings, not everyone is from the people of Bill of
righteousness. So Allah subhanaw taala uses terms that have other
meanings to tell us that not everybody meets this criteria,
this label of Abrar Okay, there will be few righteous people and
these righteous people, Allah subhanaw taala, saying certainly
deeds or there have already been Allah subhanaw taala has already
certified all of that, you know, there is no people to gather to
certify whether it's correct or wrong. Allah subhanaw taala
already knows, but he has set up the system of witnesses and
judgment, they will be in bliss.
And they will have some inclination of that ahead of time.
Why? Because in their graves already before the Day of
Judgment, they will be seeing their place in Jana, they will be
feeling the breeze of Jana smelling the sweetness of Jana, so
they have a preview of what's coming.
So, when they are both run from that one, the graves overturn,
they already will be feeling good, they will not feel the same panic
and anxiety as the others. And then therefore there will be in,
in in name in the graves there will be name and special honor and
under the shade of Allah on the day of judgment and the the name
of the chakra will start in the in the Jana after that.
That's one destination, and says the only two were in Fujairah,
laffy Jaffe and indeed the Fauja the same word would then be how to
Fujairah the one that exploded beyond their limits, limits sent
set by Allah subhanaw taala those who rebelled beyond that, who not
only just send and hid their sin but send openly and challengingly
said I am this I don't believe there is no not only just inside
but they promoted and proudly presented their disbelief and
proudly presented their sinful behavior that this is right and
you are wrong. Like the people of loot and SLM saying that you are
the sick man, loot and your family and we are going to throw you out
we are the ones who are doing all the wrong things but we say we are
right.
So those are the Fauja for John is like
the extreme.
If you can call them the extremists of sin and rebellion
Lathi not just fi in, left fi in in LA it's Allah subhanaw taala
saying they will be in Jehoiakim in
Jehane is one of the names of the fiercest blazing part of Jana.
And Janine also has a meaning of something that's glaring at you
like, like a beast looking at you, you know as your prey. And we have
descriptions from the Hadith that the fire will be looking at the
people who are disobedient and will be wanting to grab them just
like, like
an animal looking at its prey
Yes, slow. No, hi, Elmo. Yes, loner ha means they will be trust.
They will be trust on the Day of Judgment into the Jehane.
It's not a choice. As we say, they will be carried on their faces
dragged on the face flung into the jungle.
Nobody's going to go willingly. Okay? Don't Don't take me on, you
know, I'll walk myself. No, they will be dragged on willingly into
Johanna Yama, D. Because this is the day of judgment, the day of
retribution the day where everything it has to be accounted
every namah has to be balanced has to be repaid. What did you do with
this? What did you do with your life? What did you do with your
youth? What did you do with the knowledge that was given to you?
What did you do with the Quranic Iots that you learned in the
phonic halacha? What did you do with the wealth? What did you do
with the children I blessed you with? How did you treat the
parents that I gave all day? So you could serve them earn Jana,
every single thing?
And after that, either Agrar or yes Lona.
Fee, Johanna
on the day of judgment.
And then another sketti, I will now home and have a war a B. And
well ma'am, Allah subhanaw taala has, there is an implication here
that they will never
be out of there, of this Jakeem.
Wide means absent from its presence, absent from its scary
gaze, absent from its punishment. And that starts
before the judgment. As we know, it starts in the cupboard with the
construction of the grave, as if the ribs are being compressed into
each other, and the heat of Janome is felt by the soul right here.
And it will continue and the punishment of the grave till the
punishment of the day of judgment in the jackin is entered that this
is just a preview. So they are never riot. They are never absent
from the presence of that flame here on the day of judgment,
because that will be when they really see it. And the Jahannam
that they will be entered in May Allah Subhana Allah protect us all
from this.
Allah subhanaw taala says, describing all of these, he says,
Well Matt adrak and Maya
and what would make you believe or understand or conceive the Day of
Judgment, the magnitude, the severity,
the length, the anxiety,
the horrific situation of the what would make you understand one way
or another I can we talked about you Derek and Draka last time, so
last month and what In other words, why can't you get it into
your text color that it is coming? Well man, what will it take to
make this a reality that you may lead your lives connected with
Allah subhanaw taala in his obedience as his ad
then it doesn't end there. From again madaraka Maria Medina Allah
subhanaw taala repeats it again. It's like a hammer on our heads
over and over again. Get it into your head, get it into your head,
get it into your head, why can't you get it through?
And get it to doesn't mean yes, there is a day of judgment.
Getting it through means my life reflects that there is a day of
judgment and I'm standing in front of Allah so
why Yo Ma alert term liquid enough suddenly enough sin che while
Umrah Yo Ma yvel Lila
same as the end of Surah Abba, people running from each other,
nobody's going to help each other Allah Samantha Listen, Yo Ma, that
is the day they have judgment.
Latin liquid enough soon enough since che no one
can help nobody has any any control to help or harm you on
that day okay. You cannot avail each other you cannot bail out you
know here we look when something happens you deny and have this
connection I have that Allah subhanaw taala saying there is
going to be no intercession except what Allah has authorized, you can
run to the richest you can run to the strongest you can do all you
want nothing is going to happen. Nobody can avail no sun will avail
as Allah subhanaw taala says the father and no father will avail
the sun and that means mother and daughter also is also a local man.
Okay, nobody will give one deed
to someone else to your loved one. So we claim on the left
to in what degree can the notch help?
Shay, not even the littlest thing?
Well, um
and the judgment and the command in the order, Yo Ma even on that
day, Leila belongs only to Allah
will look here at sovereignty belongs only to Allah. Even here
it belongs only to Allah, but people can contest it, they can
deny it, but on that day, nobody will deny because you can say it
doesn't belong Allah Malik Malik will balk. Yes. But he has also
allowed people to say no, he is not.
Even though in Africa he is but on that day, there will be no ability
or authorization to deny that
only the Command of Allah will prevail. Only the judgment of
Allah will prevail.
Of course Allah subhanaw taala has informed us through raw metal al
Amin, some Allahu alayhi wa sallam that Allah will
wanting to forgive us. Use honor Rasul Allah salAllahu Salam and
some of the Gambia and some other you know, earlier
Allah subhanaw taala
to intervene and say, Yeah, Allah please forgive him or give him a
higher rank in Jannah. Allah already planned that, but to honor
them say okay, you are saying I granted. So we ask Allah Subhana
Allah to make us of those who will be able to avail of the
the shefa of the intercession of Rasulullah sallallahu
Kolas Mandela does not need anybody's intervention. This is
one way of honoring them. That yes,
because you say I will enter but it is by the Wrath of Allah.
So Allah subhanaw taala and this powerful Surah
reminds us again and again of the reality, the reality that life is
coming to an end, there is a life of the grave, there is a
resurrection, there is a questioning of everything,
everything has been recorded, which is easy for us to grasp
because today everything is recorded anyway. Even by human
beings, you know. So there are recordings and recordings and
witnesses the bodies were parts will witness people will witness
the earth will witness the heavens will witness the angels will
witness. So there is no hiding. Nothing is hidden.
So Allah subhanaw taala reminds us as His
by telling us, yes, it's going to happen by his Rama
that you want the reward, then the name, race for it race for Jana.
If that doesn't do it for you, be scared of Jana which I have
described for you, and know that nobody can help you.
Nobody can do anything for you. You will come to me alone. So
prepare for that meeting now. And these what we are seeing of people
living everyday everyday in just in this last two weeks or last
four or five people and people lining up as we know that we will
do the half or
at the end of the session, lining up to go to Alaska.
I was just reflecting the other day that I went on Hajj with some
people and five of my hedge companions have already passed or
loss of Allah and the sixth one is on his way.
That's all
lot
then I said who else is left?
Wells is left only two.
So, we have to prepare. Now if we prepare, then we look forward to
that departure.
And if we we prepare our families in the right way with the
they are happy when we leave knowing what is ahead for us. And
then they continue their lives in a way that in our code, we are
happy with what they are doing, that they are coming and Allah
will unite us and
there is certainty that we will be separated here as Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam taught us that Jibreel Allah Salam said to
him, said yah, Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam love whoever you want, one
day you will be separated.
Do whatever you want on the you see your deeds lead, whichever way
your life, you know, you will be, you have to answer for so we will
be separated. Yeah. That's how long winded but it's a temporary
separation, because we will be joined in the afternoon if we are
righteous.
Just like when our children go away, for a month or two, I just
said goodbye to my daughter and granddaughters and, and son in law
sending them off to Qatar, a separation.
And we are hopeful that we will meet them again that they will
return.
So we look forward to that right. Now. Can you imagine looking
forward to
a place after which there is no separation?
After which there is no death? There is no part.
So why don't we prepare for that seriously? Why don't we make our
lives such that Allah subhanaw taala is pleased with us? Why
don't we keep the Day of Judgment in front of us as we see it as
also allah sallallahu alayhi salam said, whoever wants to see the day
of judgment should read this verse at duckweed, and infertile in
Chicago, read them over and over again. So it becomes a reality,
the Sahaba or the Alon who used to say Yara, so Allah when we are
with you, it is as if we can see the Gen nine we can see the NA
now we are not with us.
So we have to look at this we have to read about him so that we feel
we are with him and then our Emanuel's.
So in sha Allah with that, we will end this surah and we ask Allah
subhanaw taala to accept it from us and
embed its real meaning into our hearts so that we make the
necessary changes to rectify what needs to be done, so that we
actually look forward to the day of judgment, rather than and our
deaths and our meeting with Allah subhanaw taala we asked the last
one Allah to make the best of our
age in
our lives, the last part of our lives, the best of our actions,
the last action and the best day, the day in which we meet.
