your Allah you judge between your slaves concerning wherein they
differ, your Allah guide me and guide us in the disputed matters
to the truth, for you are the only one who guides to the straight
path.
I mean,
my dear brothers and sisters, welcome back to this beautiful
halacha of studying together the words of Allah subhanaw taala. And
as always, I remind myself first and I remind you that we study
this not as academics, not for information, but for internalizing
and for looking at our lives in the framework of the Quran to see
where we are following
where we are performing well and we thank Allah subhanaw taala for
it. And more critically and more importantly, we look at where we
are behind where we are not doing so well. And we ask Allah subhanaw
taala for forgiveness and we asked him to help us to overcome our
shortcomings.
And again, everything that we study in the Quran must be thought
over and over and reflected on not just on Wednesday every other
week but
you know moments of solitude. So today we are going to study as we
have been for the last year or more another makin Surah
which is Surah al Qiyamah which is surah number 75.
And as we have
noticed before that, there are three main themes in the makan
Surahs Number one of course is that hate the absolute Oneness of
Allah subhanaw taala to dispel the ship that existed in the society
and that exists today.
So the hadith is is a stressed and emphasized in the Macan surah
number two, the point that is emphasized is the confirmation of
the messenger ship of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa
sallam
that he is the messenger of Allah, that he is the truthful that he is
not a lawyer that he is not a poet and he is not possessed. He is not
much known all the accusations that the Makins we're, we're
projecting on him. The third important theme of the Macan
surahs, as you all remember is the Day of Judgment, Day of Judgment
means one thing, accountability.
Without accountability, people would do whatever they wanted,
there is accountability and Allah subhanaw taala will talk about
that. So, why is there such a stress and repetition over and
over about the piano and the author in the Meccan surah.
For example, let us look back at what we have already covered. We
studied in surah Allah, Allah subhanaw taala says in Ihlara,
beaker, Raja Raja, to your Lord, you will return in Surah Arya if
you remember your Maya Kuno Natsuko Faraj Alma Thor's, in
Surah, Zilla if you remember, yo my thing, yes, doodle Natsu Ashta
tell you
Oh am Allah on those days that people will be brought in groups
to show their actions. There was one in Korea Allah subhanaw taala
says on the day when mankind would be like moths, you know, just
flitting around in Surah Doha if you remember last one Allah says
while accurate to Pharaoh la Kameena Akula. The ACA will be
better than the present in Surah Lail which we just covered two
weeks ago. Last one last week. Allah subhanaw taala says in a
lead in Lana Allah accurate our Kula with us is the Accra and this
this life, if you remember a few few months ago Surah Fajr.
Allah subhanaw taala says Kerala either to cattle or do conduct
Khawaja Rob Bukovel in Maluku softens of the earth will be
leveled and the angels will be lined up for the day of judgment
in surah. Al Allah Allah Subhan Allah says Allah the Aslan natural
Cobra, so Mala mo to feed her Allah Yeah.
In Surah borouge If you remember Allah subhanaw taala says in a
Latina fraternal movement in our movement, so Mala Mia to follow
him addabbo, Jana, mahalo Hari
in Surah infinita all of it is about karma Surah attack we all of
it is about pm Surah Abba which we covered within the last few weeks
Allah subhanaw taala in the end says, for either Jaya at this
Sokka Yama your full roll more Omen okay omega A B and till the
end again stressing piano and Surah Masjid even if you remember
about Abu Lahab in the end of last month, Allah says, say yes learn
now that Allah you will be roasted in the fire. In surah, Muzammil
when we studied that Allah subhanaw taala says in Allah Dana
Anka, along with your Hamer, Waka Iman the WUSA to a dab and Halima
talking about the * in Surah mudita. Allah subhanaw taala says,
for either nuclear Rafina code for Dalek, a yo mining your moon assay
that day of difficulty when the trumpet is sounded, and of course,
in Surah Fatiha in one iron, Maliki yo may 18.
There is only one king of that. So why is it now we have a whole
suite of piano because first of all, it is a matter of Eman
to believe in its reality. All Muslims accept piano. But one is
the academic acceptance and the other is to have the Haqiqa the
reality in the hearts. And when we have the sign of that is your life
should be led in a way as if you are seeing Yama and you are
preparing for it.
The second is to keep that Pm not only to believe in forefront in
our thoughts in our efforts in our goals. And third, of course, is to
prepare for it many times is the Bedouins used to come to
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said, Yeah, Mohamed Salah Salem when is
clear.
And what was the response of Rasulullah salAllahu alayhi salam,
what have you prepared for it? That is what is critical.
So it is why is it difficult because this is what the McCanns
was struggling with the most. They believed in Allah, they had other
gods as intermediaries to Allah subhanaw taala. But they could not
accept that dead bones will be brought back to life. But if we
look at all previous religions, whether you look at Hinduism,
whether you look at Christianity, Judaism, Islam, every faith talks
about something of the hereafter. Right or wrong. They may say there
is going to be you know, there is something we don't know that's one
fit. Another one talks about paradise and * and salvation.
Another one talks about reincarnation so everyone
understands in their faith that this cannot be it, except the ones
who do not have revealed faith don't know what is coming ahead.
So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us that this yes, this is a matter
of a vibe of the unseen. This is not something that science can
prove. And that's why it's a matter of faith. It becomes a
matter of Eman versus disbelief. So today we are so scientifically
oriented with our we need proofs when you're not going to get a
proof you have to believe in it. The second thing that distracts us
from ocra and concerns for it is the love of the dunya because we
are too busy with it
We are always occupied with it. It's always in front of us.
Therefore, we relegate as the Accra to the last priority.
Because our dunya we attachments and preoccupations, pull our
hearts in so many other directions that that is left and on the
backburner. Now, there is a general understanding that our
hearts are where our efforts have been made. Wherever we make an
effort, our heart is attached to that. And the vice versa is also
true. Our efforts would be made where our hearts are attached. So
if our hearts are attached to the Accra, our efforts would be
directed to that. And that would be the proof of that.
Also,
we don't hold ourselves accountable self accountability on
a daily consistent basis, and therefore the Agora is not real.
Similarly, of course, we have our enemy arch enemy Iblees, who's
trying to distract us and says, you know, even if you believe that
there is plenty of time to prepare for what's the rush.
And lastly, because even though we face this reality, every day, that
we bury people every day, we keep forgetting death. Whereas
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam told us taught us extra Roman, the
Korea has zamanlar that other man loves that be frequent in your
remembrance of the destroyer of pleasures, which is death. He
encouraged us to visit the cemeteries, because there is
Abraham, there are lessons to be learned.
And he sallallahu alayhi salam warned us He said, If you spend
too much time and laughter, which comes from entertainment, it will
be a disaster in the Hereafter.
And if you cry here,
you will have the shade of Allah's ash, on the day of judgment and
laughter.
Because one of the categories of the seven categories that are
taught by Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam, who will be given
shade on a day where there is no shade is a person who cries over
his sins in solitude, shed tears here so you can left that.
So in this surah, Allah subhanaw taala covers some of these
reasons, and gives us a very vivid and stark visual reminder of this
unseen event. He takes us through the journey, the reality of depth,
talks about the reasons of our forgetfulness once again, at to
bring this in focus on our radar screens that guest there is a day
of judgment and to keep it right in front of us in our thoughts in
our concerns.
The word pm
means we translated as resurrection or rising like we
sent a poem, it's from the same root which means to stand to rise
up. So piano means rising from the graves or standing. Okay, as Allah
subhanaw taala mentions that when people will come out of of their
grave they will say, who has taken us out from our market where we
were sleeping.
Now, when something is important, in the Arabic culture in the
Arabic language, it has multiple names.
Allah subhanaw taala has more than 99 names. 99 names are in the
Hadith in one Hadith, but he has many more names because anything
that's important has many names.
At least 36 names of Tiama are mentioned in the Quran.
Let's see if we can go through some of the Allah subhanaw taala
calls it a hot cup. That inevitable reality he calls it a
PSA the hour. He calls it a PSA.
The Deafening Blast. He calls it time to cobra. The greatest
overwhelming calamity. He calls it a Harsha. The overwhelming event.
He calls it an aria. That striking noise the calamity that we've
covered a lap. The occurrence you're more active the last day he
calls it your normal day for the day that is drawing near or
approaching. He calls it your milk bath. The Day of Resurrection he
calls it your mood to Robin the day of deprivation he calls it
your mood pull out the day of meeting your mood tonight the day
you will be called The Day of calling your mood Gemma the day of
assembly, Yeoman hisab that you all know they have accountability.

frustrations of the day your mole Hawk, only truth will prevail that

day.
36 different descriptions of each one adding something to it.
That's the importance of this day. With this introduction. Now let us
begin the surah and I hope you all have your neurons at least some of
you so you can follow along
the surah as all other Surah starts with and I'm going to just
read the first part that we want to first cover
and all the B let him initiate on your regime Bismillah he'll rush

or yo minding be man damn our
Ballal in San or Isla enough CE Belfry era while
the era so we are going to cover these 15 is
of course the surah starts with Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim.
And the surah itself the warning that's coming. The reminder is
the manifestation of the Mercy of Allah Subhana Allah.
Because if you were not warned about this, it would be a
disaster. So it is out of the Rama of Rahman Rahim that the surah is
coming. So that you can protect yourself and to prevent you from
getting hurt and harming yourself. Then the surah starts with two
persons to oats, Allah subhanaw taala says and the oaths taken
here are a little different than what we are used to like we would
say well forgery, while the overlay here it starts with Allah.
Allah subhanaw taala says La, opera c mu B yo mille PM. Now as
you know, the word la means no. So does this mean No, I don't swear.
No, that's not what it means. Law in a custom is frequently used for
emphasis to emphasize the custom that is coming. And if you
remember the people who are being addressed, we're denying the
piano.
And people today the same way. They said well, there isn't
something there's some other say well, we will come back as animals
and dogs
and others, some others say no, we don't know what's going on, and so
on and so forth. And some others say, Well, if we are good, you
know, we are so good here we'll be good in the hereafter. So all of
those conjectures, Allah subhanaw taala says La, nee, you are all
wrong. I sweat
by the day by the day of PM. So, this law, although it's a particle
of negation, is used for confirmation, and to negate that
everything that you think
is wrong. So you could translate that saying, No, indeed, it is
going to happen no matter what.
And I deny all your ideas and conjectures. So this net is a
stressor and you can also translate it Allah subhanaw taala
saying, I do not need to swear by the day of resurrection because
it's so obvious.
Then comes the next oath Allah subhanaw taala says, Why Allah
again same style, wala okezie Mubin nuff Silla wham and may I
swear
by your enough's that is Le Wham lawanna comes from the word loan
which means to blame. So Allah subhanaw taala is saying that I
swear by the knifes the soul that is constantly self blaming or self
reproaching
because Allah subhanaw taala mentioned some of the other new
foods like Nashville, Amara de su, they always evil the knifes that
is always has a propensity for evil and wickedness. Last month
Allah mentions as we covered in Surah Fajr
Nuff said motorman in we had a long talk about that. That's in a
state of tranquility and peace and all of that. So Allah subhanaw
taala chose to swear by this snuffs and what may be the wisdom
of this, because this is the knifes that has the highest
probability of benefiting from this reminder. Because the one
that is a matter of ensue, that's always evil, no matter what you
say present, it makes no difference. And nothing more to
mine has already reached a state that doesn't need that reminder.
It always has that in front of you. So this knifes to nerf sulla
worm, the self reproaching is, which is the majority of all all
of Muslims and others are being sworn by taking an oath. They have
the highest probability of benefiting from this reminder and
succeeding. So if you are pleased with your good deeds, and you
regret your bad deeds, that is generally a person who has enough
soon love worm.
Now, where does this all come? Allah subhanaw taala has pre
programmed in every human being within the genetic code, the
ability to distinguish between right and wrong between good and
evil.
That is called the natural fitrah, which Allah subhanaw taala sends
us all with, we have without being taught anything.
We know the difference between right and wrong instinctively.
And then as Rasulullah salAllahu alayhi salam teaches us that the
parents will make this person to this, that and the other. And he
gave example of Medusa and Yahoo then in Assad and so on so forth,
means that they groom them in a certain way and modified that
natural instinct.
Now along with that fitrah Allah subhanaw taala has also programmed
within us a safety mechanism as the blessing as Aurasma which is
what makes us feel uncomfortable and restless if we do something
wrong.
And we call that guilt or we call it guilt when we're small guilty
conscious.
That guilt within us is the ability to recognize that we have
done something wrong
and it makes us feel uncomfortable.
Now unfortunately in today's modern psychology, guilt is
considered negative emotion. And that teacher do you shouldn't feel
guilty. Don't blame yourself which is just the opposite. So Allah
subhanaw taala has put this mechanism in us because through
this once we are equipped with this natural fitrah and the self
reproaching self blaming knifes
This is what leads gives us the tools of self accountability.
That's how we hold ourselves you know this
is not right. I shouldn't have done this.
And I should do this. So we feel that. Now you might ask what is
the connection between these two words? One is about piano. One is
about knifes hula worm, the rhyme besides the rhyme. Now, if we look
at it this way, if we listen and pay attention to enough Salawa
what would it lead us to do? It would lead us to Toba and
repentance.
And in the end, that would lead to our salvation on the day of TM.
A day when everyone will be remorseful.
So Allah subhanaw taala has put this to connection that here's the
day of karma to succeed you need to to nurture this knifes that you
have from Knoxville lawanna even take it to Nashville much more in
with your this gear of your knifes.
Now as we've also said that, whenever Allah subhanaw taala
takes a custom an oath, it is followed by what Joshua Wilkerson
what is being stressed. Now if you look in the Surah
You will not find a job of customer.
Why? Because it is so obvious. So Allah subhanaw taala is not
explicit, it is implied. And I'm sure you have all figured it out.
The implication is that I swear
that you will be resurrected. There is a day of judgment, that's
the bottom line.
The top Athan,
you will be resurrected. So the Javan Castle
is the rest of the surah which is stressing the certainty of
resurrection.
Now Allah subhanaw taala gives us in the next day. The reason why in
Sun
doesn't accept this. Allah subhanaw taala says, Yes, I will
Insano Allah Nedjma evam Allah subhanaw taala saying,
Does man and this word in son is used five times in the Surah and
in son is not just one, it is for all of human beings. Allah
subhanaw taala said does man think that we will not be able to gather
and re reassemble his his bones for a day of judgment.
Nedjma is Emma Gemma to gather together Obama which are the bones
because this is what the Moroccans really sort of used as their
evidence. And if you remember from the Sierra series that we did,
that one of the Moroccan leaders came to Rasulullah Salallahu Salam
and he was sitting there, he brought some old crumbling bonds.
And he crushed him with his hands. So it became like dust, some of
the children flew over Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam and said
yam common sort Allah this love you tell me that once we become
like this will be raised again. And then Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi salam said yes, you will be raised again and you will be
entered into Jannah. So, Allah subhanaw taala is bringing that
instance. And he is telling us does man doubt
and in this there is a reprimand Allah Samantha's a yes. What does
he think this is actually a reprimand he says, As Rasulullah
sallallahu Hassan teaches us that men will be resurrected from his
tailbone what we call the sacrum as the seed. And then from there,
Allah subhanaw taala will command everything to come together, the
order is just couldn't. That's it, it will all be brought together
Allah subhanaw taala tells us
that the second creation
is easier than the first.
So after taking the statement of this, Allah subhanaw taala
responds by saying Bella Bella means to negate what has been said
before they're saying you cannot create hola Samantha listening say
Bella Nee, to negate that falsehood. And as a confirmation
of the truth he says, Bella powdering Allah and in some way a
banana. Allah Swan No. So we are means to put together in details.
Allah subhanaw taala saying no to your falsehood, and then he says
it is just the opposite. You deny his capability of putting the
bonds together. On the contrary, he is order he has perfect control
over everything.
Allah
said we will resurrect you and we will put you together and every
new subway every detail to what degree new subway a banana, banana
is the fingertips they did not know that we all had unique
fingertips at that time. Allah subhanaw taala saying that eye we
will put you together in every detail including the unique
fingerprints of your fingertips.
This is how Allah subhanaw taala addresses that.
Then Allah subhanaw taala says
that after denying this
by you read the insane layup, Jura, Amanda, this is the next
iron number five, he says
the second reason is because in San Yes, Jura Imama, he follows
his desires to do wickedness and he rebels
Fujairah means to rebel across all bounds, he is intense in his
practice of evil. This is particularly addressing the
careful
that whatever he wants in front of him, he will continue he wants to
do
without any checks and balances whatever wants his desire. Yes,
Juraj amama whatever comes in front of me he wants to do and
continue doing onwards and onwards.
Rebellion.
Now, this is the second thing that he has so much desire for this
dunya and the pleasures of this dunya he wants no restraints.
Allah subhanaw taala says and
he yes alone. Yes. Aloo a Jana yarmulke
and defiantly mockingly he says, oh, so when is this Day of
Judgment? A Jana is for we have two things. One is Mata which is
asking when an A Jana is useful, something that distant future So
he's saying Oh, it's so far away. When is it a Jana and a Jana is
also used when you don't believe in something as as a matter of
arrogance and and mocking means I don't really believe it's going to
happen. So it's a Jana yarmulke.
When will this day be?
And
one of them was so arrogant. He asked the Prophet salallahu Alaihe
Salam o Jomo Kenyatta and Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi.
Salam, of course, told him everything about your mafia. So do
you know what his response was? In the end? He said, Even if I see it
with my own eyes, I will not believe it.
Now, when they ask this question, Allah subhanaw taala does not
address the question of when it's going to be. He just answers it by
giving signs. That's also a rebuke, you know, a scolding.
Allah subhanaw taala says you want to know where when it is. Now, let
me tell you what it is. instead.
Allah subhanaw taala says, for either barnacle bustle,
the day when the eyes every eye will be dazzled.
bark is like the lightning, the destruction,
the lightning the light that will dazzle you from the destruction of
the universe.
It gives a second sign first sign Berrocal bizarre he will, your
eyes will be dazzled you will not be able to see.
Then what else will happen? Bahasa fowl comma Kossuth, which is a
eclipse The moon will be darkened. And the reason the moon will be
darkened is not because the earth comes between the sun and the
moon. But because as as we've learned in previous Surah, the
light of the sun will be finished when there is no light of the sun,
the moon will be darkened. The third sign Allah gives of this
day.
Excuse me, he says, But Jumia shum soil cover when the sun and the
moon will be brought together, will be crushed together will be
joined together. In other words, astronomical events are going to
occur where planets and things that have been in orbits in their
own will start colliding and coming together. It's a systemic
collapse of the entire solar system and the universe as we know
it. There will be no more source of light.
Now after this Allah subhanaw taala says
your pool in Santa Yo my then Angel
My father, what will happen on that day, but again every insan
every man who's there for the destruction, and this is only
going to be the disbelievers because Allah will take the souls
of the believers before that final destruction. What will they do
when this such a calamity occurs? What do you do? You run for
shelter? So what Allah subhanaw taala says, Every man which is a
disbeliever at that time on that day will be running in panic to
escape. So he will say, a null buffer. Where can I run to? Where
is the place for shelter? Where is the place of protection? Where can
I go?
What is the answer? Clueless? Rantala gives the answer Kela Nee,
Laos.
The answer is no. Absolutely no place of refuge. There is no
escape. There is no mountain cave to hide and because the mountains
have evaporated, there is no fortress, there is no bunker.
There is no place for temporary relief. No, there is no shelter.
There is no escape route.
Now last one Tala give us all toffee to prepare for that day.
Because we don't know where the tomorrow my minor camera starts or
today, or a year from now or 10 years, whatever Allah has written,
but I am prepared Wallahi we should be prepared every day. You
Allah. If you take me today, I'm ready. And I'm looking forward to
meeting you. And I hope you're looking forward to meeting
Subhanak along with him digna shadow Hola, hola. Hi, Lana
