AI: Summary ©
The use of words and phrases to describe actions and events in Islam is discussed, as it is important for bringing people out of a group and showing their deeds. The weight of small and minor concessions, which lead to negative consequences, is also discussed, along with narrations and deeds being measured on a scale. The importance of knowing at every moment of one's life and doing good deeds is the reason for being happy.

Allahumma I did not help GitHub comm was open it was original Bell
till about it and was punished in.
We praise Allah subhanaw taala
and we thank Allah subhanaw taala and we glorify Allah subhanaw
taala as he deserves,
according to His divine grace, His Majesty
and His perfection, and we send peace and blessings on our beloved
prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the best of Allah's
creation,
the best example the deliverer of good tidings and a warner
sent for all of mankind, all of humanity till the Day of Judgment,
the Seal of Prophethood could even imagine we live in a time
where records are kept
not in gigs, but terabytes, kept on watch
on chips made of what silica
from the earth
same component. So, human beings are keeping records, detailed
records on particles that are part of the earth. Allah subhanaw taala
told us that the earth is recording everything. So, it
should be even clearer for us and more
certainty that yes, everything is being recorded.
When will this be and Rebecca Oh ha
Allah subhanaw taala says be n
Rob back. Now, there is a nuance here.
Everything that we have in this surah is in third person, this
will happen this will happen that will happen this will be said this
will be done.
There is only one part in the Surah where there is a second
person
Allah subhanaw taala didn't say be n Rob Baja Hala, which would be
perfectly fine. That yes, the Sustainer of the earth inspired it
to speak instead of that Allah subhanaw taala says in rub backcap
second person male singular Who is this being said to Rasul Allah,
Allah.
This is another way in which the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam is
shown honored, because everything else is third person distant.
And when you talk in second person that talks means what is called
debris or closeness when you're talking to someone that the last
one Bala is showing you the status of in an indirect way of
Rasulullah sallallahu.
Where he could have said, and her Lord the Lord of the Earth,
inspired her to talk to give the witness but Allah Samantha Allah
honors the prophet by saying All prophets Allah, Allah, Allah, send
them your Lord.
Your Lord inspired her, gave it what he owe, which means
inspiration, which all of ye we take it as Revelation it is not
all revelation, it is inspiration also, because anything that is
communicated secretly such as Allah subhanaw taala uses the word
for the beat that Allah subhanaw taala inspired to be Allah
subhanaw taala uses this as word as an inspiration
to the mother of masala salaam, for example, that we inspired her
to do this to the newborn baby to put the baby in a basket and Allah
subhanaw taala uses this word for the shayateen that they use this
also means they secretly communicate. So Allah subhanaw
taala has communicated with the earth when it is to converse, and
when it is to disclose
And going forward as a witness against all of mankind
then Allah subhanaw taala says, Yo Ma even same thing on that day.
Yes Don't NASA Ashtar 10 Li ro Elohim
yo maya then now again giving details of that day.
Allah subhanaw taala says on that day, the Earth will speak about
everything. Again, he's saying on that day, yes, little NAS.
Sadara means to, to come forth to come forward, that people will
come forward, there is another meaning of the word of Sadara,
which is used for when somebody leaves their home to fetch,
something comes back. That's also one of the meanings. So some of
the scholars have have of the field have said that the one who
went into their graves after having lived here, or coming back
out.
So that's the word of yesterday. But generally, if you just take it
simply, that people will come forward, they will be brought
forth, they will return, return from their graves, where they have
been come back to the earth, except the Earth has now been
changed. It's been leveled.
So from the world, they went to the graves and from the grave back
to the earth, except now it is no longer the earth, that they knew
the earth that they knew the world that they lived in was a world of
choices of actions.
And they live that and they went into the graves. Now can they come
back to the earth? This is not the world of actions of choices. This
is the world of witnessing your actions, what you had done, when
you were here the first time.
So the first time is to act. And the second time is to witness the
acts.
Now you're no longer in control. You can only see witness what you
have done.
First time we have the power to act
yes Douro NAS. Now Allah Swanton is using not in sun NASS means all
of mankind. As we said before, every human being that was ever
created, I should tell, I started means shut down means to have
groups.
Seen in this world, we all live together as one humanity and
that's promoted. And we have believers listening next to the
disbeliever and a sinner with the with the righteous and all people
are mixed together. But we have some experience of grouping,
because we choose our company. So we like groups, for example, we
have a Quran group, because we'd like to study in the Quran
together.
We have groups of people who get together because they come from
one country, they identify, they have the same culture. There are
people who grew up together because of the language there are
people who grew up together because of the interests that so
we are used to grouping people, birds of a feather flock together.
So Allah subhanaw taala is again referencing us with something that
we already experienced groups, that on that day, also you will be
when you're brought out, you will be grouped that people will be
brought together or started in different groups. Now, what are
these different groups, obviously the most obvious the people of
Lila heilala And those who did not believe who either were caffeine
or mushroom, that's one division.
Now within those divisions, even among the believers, you will want
to have the sinners and the righteous
among the righteous, you're going to have those who were far ahead a
sabe, hakuna Sadako
you have the obedient and the disobedient.
So all of that and ultimately if you break these groups down and
the Quran also refers about it, the groups become smaller and
smaller and smaller.
Till you become an individual and Allah subhanaw taala has mentioned
that for example in Sumerian, that you will be brought as individual
further in front of Allah subhanaw taala.
So, there is a large group of believers, group of disbelievers
people have the right hand people have the left hand otherwise
I looked on the right and he smiled, he looked on the left
during the Mirage and cried. And then subgroup subgroups tell
finally,
you are actually alone in front of Allah subhanaw taala. Now imagine,
in a place where there is only standing room, there is no room to
move because of the the numbers of people in that group,
you're going to feel alone an individual and we've talked about
that nobody will know their mother or the father of their brother or
their spouse or their children. Now I've seen I've seen so Allah
subhanaw taala is telling us that there will be groups and we
believe in that. And then there are subgroups and so on so forth.
And as we know, some faces as of last month, Allah says will be
brightened people of the righteous people, people who are believers
who are destined for the Jannah and some people will be darkened
okay,
because of their sins, the disbelief and so on, so forth.
Now, what is the purpose of bringing all of these people out
and gather Allah subhanaw taala says, Lee, you Rao and Lee, the
purpose for the purpose of what you allow for them to be shown so
that they see
to be shown, and I know whom their deeds
they are gathered so that they may be shown the deeds, the deeds that
were done.
As you said before, Amahl are those deeds, those actions that
are done consciously, that includes things that are done
consciously and unconsciously, such as breathing such as, such as
blinking, such as seeing and hearing, there is a difference,
okay?
We hear things we don't want to hear we're hearing. We're not
accountable for that we are accountable for listening what we
listen to. Similarly, we see everything around. You're not
accountable for that we are accountable for what we look at,
okay, what is done consciously.
Okay. So everything will be there that we did.
And we will not fail to see anything.
This includes good deeds and bad deeds.
Now, you might say, Well,
why should my bad deeds be there? When I did Toba and Toba erases
them, and Allah forgive me promise me forgiveness.
You will be shown everything so that you are refreshed, because we
forget many things we forget. I mean, did you go to such and such
place and I try hard and hard I said, I absolutely didn't go
there.
And that is proof that I did go there. And I still can't recall.
On that day, Allah subhanaw taala will show every deed. So it will
be recorded. Now imagine how horrific how scary it would be to
see all of those sinful deeds, all of those things that we are not so
proud of, that are still there.
Well, some have said that that so that we can then appreciate
Allah, someone tell us forgiveness and mercy, that all of these in
spite of all of these, he erased them, and He forgive them. And he
still rewards me. And we see the good deeds, and they don't look so
good. And yet, we appreciate his Rama. And we say for that deed,
I'm not wanting to give me so much so that we may appreciate
and show appreciation to Allah subhanaw taala more for his
rewards and for the abatement of the punishments
everything will be shown. Now the question is will it be shown to
everybody
and Allah subhanaw taala according to some of the Hadith will show,
bring a person next to him and show him the scroll of everything,
show him the recording of everything, till that person will
see.
Everything and he will say I am surely doomed.
And Allah subhanaw taala will say
that I had put in my Sutter,
my sister my cover, nobody knew about this, what you have done,
and today also, I will cover this nobody will know. So the deeds
would be shown to you.
It will not be on public display Allah subhanaw taala will not
dishonor
His believers by showing their sinful deeds to the others. So the
sinners and the disbelievers all you claim to be this you are doing
this Allah subhanaw taala is subpar.
His deal he will cover he covered in the dunya and according to the
Hadith he will cover but we will be shown them so that we can see
what we did. And then we know how truly merciful Allah subhanaw
taala is how truly Gaafu Allah subhanaw taala is and
then Allah subhanaw taala says
for me, Miss Cole Avila thin Hi, Rania,
then after your you know,
my Yamaha whoever did myth call the weight with call is something
that weighs the call as you say word for called something that has
a weight to it the counterweight with call the instrument the Allah
for measuring the thing. Vera Vera means the smallest known particle.
So for the Arabs of that time, the according to the Mufasa rule, the
smallest things they knew were the ends the tiny hands and the eggs
of the hands. So, they would consider it like that sometimes,
it was also used because when you see in a dark room, the sun's rays
going through the sun beam, and you see dust particles floating in
it, that was so now some of the translations will say atoms worth
of good, because we know something smaller and then a subatomic
particles, the idea is not what we know of neutrinos and quarks and
so on so forth. The idea is no matter how insignificant how small
a deed is, it will be recorded and shown.
Hydrangea of goodness Allah subhanaw taala says whoever is
done, the weight of even the smallest good now what is good,
what is naturally known of higher to every human human being you
don't have to explain what is good meaning. Generosity is good.
Everybody knows that telling the truth is good. Everybody knows
that.
You know, all of the good that a person can do,
even if it's small, will be shown things. That's why the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi salam said don't consider anything insignificant,
even a smile as a charity. Elsewhere, he said, you know, save
yourself from the hellfire, even if it is from a part of a date,
even if you don't have a full date to give,
give that
if no little removing a stone from the path, so nobody can trip or
hurt on it, every little thing is recorded the earth records it and
it will carry value, if it is done with the right intention of
helping humanity for the pleasure of Allah so
and of course the ultimate of of good deeds is belief in law a law
that is the ultimate of higher
so Allah subhanaw taala is telling us all your good deeds will be
displayed no matter how small how big again, they will be weighed
you will behold you will see it and they will be weighed and we're
going to come to the weighing aspect of it after this inshallah
if I if I remember to do it. And then again, Allah subhanaw taala
says, Will me repeat the same thing with me? Yeah, I'm a myth
caller the rotten Sharanya are the thing changes the sharp sharp
means everything that sets you a blaze of what is universally known
to be wrong, murder is wrong. lying is wrong is sharp, cheating
is wrong. All of these everything that is universally known is
sharp.
Allah subhanaw taala is saying
that anyone who has done a major sin, less than less so
insignificant that they thought it was nothing will also be shown and
it will be weighed.
There is a narration that our mother I showed up here Levana
said to Rasulullah sallallahu usen. She said, Ya rasool Allah I
know the most weightiest are the more
First
of all, what would you say? The the toughest? The most severe
verse of the Quran is Narrated by Abu Dowd.
The Prophet sallallahu sallam said the Aisha what is it? So she said,
Well, my Yamen with Karla rotten shariah, that even the smallest
sin,
even the smallest sin will be shown.
Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam said,
This is what happens to the believer that those small sins
that they commit,
when any problems of the dunya the same mother whom of what she told
us to say the country, he said to her, the hola Juana Marva. That
the problems that a person faces faces in his life, the
difficulties
as a consequence of that last month, Allah will remove will
erase the small sins that we do in our lives, this is a way of
cleansing. So the person actually sees that in his in this life
also. Because if you've done some some of those small sins, you go
through some difficulties knowing that this is a response, I am
seeing the consequences of my actions. That's why we say every
many times we have mentioned this, that every action has consequences
in dunya. And
so even the small would be considered small or minor sins, of
neglect, and so on so forth, have consequences. But except we don't
have the acumen to to relate it. We saw this happen in this
happened because of some things that I would have done. Last
month, Allah sent this difficulty, as a result of which he wanted to
remove that blemish from my record.
So this is why the Sahaba were afraid of small sins, and the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam warned us he said, Beware of accumulation
of small sins, because when small sins accumulate,
we become desensitized to it.
And the more we become desensitized, the more we do it.
And this is similar to what we talked about many times the
scientific experiment of the frog that is thrown in a pot of boiling
water, because the water is so boiling, it immediately jumps out
of its of the hot water and saves itself, the same frog is put in a
pot of room temperature.
And it's swimming in there and gradually the temperature is
increased by a small fire, and the temperature keeps going up and up
and up, the frog gets so used to it till the water has reached a
point where it boils to death, but doesn't jump out. Because it's
gotten used to that. So this is the same effect of small sins on
us. So small sins are not to be taken lightly. And that's why the
Sahaba were always afraid of that.
Now, when we use this word,
that we will see these, when we see these, literally you will be
seeing the actions and you will be understanding the significance and
the consequences, you will also understand the actions that we
have done.
Because ultimately we see things to recognize them to know what
impact they have in our lives. And at that point it will be what
impact is it going to have on my offer?
There is
some commentators have said that the the, among the US Baba
Missoula, the occasion of revelation of of these verses had
to do with some of the early Muslims
thought that the major acts of charity were the only ones that
would be rewarded, you have to do big charity. So they if they just
had you know piece of bread or a day or a half a day they stopped
giving it to the poor people that this is nothing
so Allah subhanaw taala said and as the Hadith says even if you
have a small act, it is the intent behind it and what what you are
doing and similarly, they thought that only major sins were
impactful is going to end person in Jannah and Allah subhanaw taala
correct that and
Understanding also by saying, No, even the small sins are being
recorded, and they will be shown to you.
So some have said that this is the S baboon azul for these Iots.
So
there was something I was going to talk about
what was it?
Yeah, the way this collar. So
what is going to be weighed? And as we've mentioned before, here we
are being shown deeds
are the, it's not the numbers, it's the weight that they carry.
So yes, deeds will be weighed. That is a definite opinion. And
there is plenty of evidence from the Quran. So
imagine a deed.
Suppose one Salam but one of my daughter is being put on the scale
for weighing.
And I look at it and it doesn't budge the scale at all means it
had no weight.
Even though it was a good deed, no weight, because it lacked
concentration, it lacked presence of my, what was the intention
behind it to some of the deeds which may seem good to people may
carry no weight on that day. They have to have a class for Allah
subhanaw taala that is known only to Allah Subhana Allah, they have
to be done as perfectly in congruence with the Sunnah of
Rasulullah. Did we follow it in meticulous details? Did we do it
properly? Did we do it with hope and Allah subhanaw taala with fear
of a must well off Allah subhanaw taala feeling his presence? So the
numbers don't matter? It's when they are put on the scale? Do they
carry some weight? So the deeds will be weighed? There's no
question about
there is also narration that the scrolls, the records will be
weighed.
And we have
the, the narration in which a person's all of the sins in the
scrolls, pages and pages of a person sins have been recorded,
and it will be put on a scale on one side, and the scale will go
way down.
And the person feels he is doomed. And Allah subhanaw taala will say
did you have any good deeds? And they said, No, we have found just
one. He said what is that put it on the other side of the scale and
that is that is La Ilaha illa Allah when that is put in there,
it will cast off all the scrolls. In other words, that the belief in
Allah subhanaw taala can eliminate all of those misdeeds of sins and
but this is an indication Yes, the scrolls the records will also be
Wait, but what are the records containing that containing our
deeds, good deeds and bad deeds?
And there is also narration that a person will be weighed. And that
comes from she remember one time so yeah, even in mass Oh, there
are the Alana was on a tree doing something. And the wind was
blowing his bizarre and companion saw his little tiny, skinny little
legs and they started laughing at him, that what kind of skinny legs
he has, you know, and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and you heard
this, he said, Do you know what kind of weight those skinny legs
will have on the Day of Judgment. All of these are, you know, gather
that the weight of a person is that the worth of a person is the
deeds of the person, the record of the person or the deeds of the
person. So it's all essentially different ways of saying the same
thing.
So Allah subhanaw taala starts with convulsing the biggest piece
of land that we know the earth
levels it convulses it brings its treasures out
and then says the smallest, which is the smallest record of
everything, of every deed will be shown.
This surah
should convulse our hearts should shake it should have an earthquake
in our heart when we hear this, that everything is being recorded.
Everything is going to be out there. What do I want to face on
that day? What do I want to see on that day in front of us? Forget
about people because oh, what will people say? You know, doesn't
matter about people? What will How will I face Allah subhanaw taala
with these deeds,
and that's why
we have to be aware of every moment of our
Our lives. That's why it is said that we must give the right the
Huq of the world of that moment, every moment in our life. Every
nanosecond has a command of Allah,
some action to be done or something to be refrained from.
That happ should be fulfilled, because that moment never comes
back.
For example, in the Avada of Allah subhanaw taala.
If you miss an act of Riba, such as vasana, and may Allah subhanaw
taala, help us never to do that, you still have an ability to make
it up to some degree, which is called a cada.
But for every moment that is passing, you can't make it up.
When are you going to make it up, you can only make it up at another
moment of time, which has its own up
something else to be done at each moment of our lives. So we should
be aware that every moment of our life is at least with the
awareness of Allah subhanaw taala. And I don't want to say at least
this is a great thing to be aware of almost 100 times, doing
something good. Knowing what this moment demands from knowing at
this moment, Allah wants me to lower my gaze, knowing at this
moment, Allah wants me to close my mouth and not say a word. Knowing
at this moment, Allah subhanaw taala wants me to control my
anger, knowing that this moment of challenge wants me to do
something, knowing at this moment of joy, Allah wants me to
recognize Him and DO sugar,
and so on so forth. Knowing at this moment that there's a needy
that I shouldn't help, knowing at this moment that somebody needs
advice, or consultation and that I take care of it.
Every moment has a hook, and it shouldn't be
given.
And if we lead our lives with that frame of mind,
then when we see we would be happy to see every veteran of fire every
atom, or particle of hair, and we would have protected ourselves
from the sinfulness that the scariness of that last iron.
And all of that can be raised with sincere Toba and sincere Toba
requires us to stop what we are doing. To turn back do is the far
to compensate for it. And feel a hatred for it feel another regret
for having done it.
And to dislike what Allah dislikes,
to hate what Allah hates, to love what Allah Subhana Allah loves to
love, what Rasulullah sallallaahu Sam loves and so on and so forth.
So we need to lead
all of our lives just based on the surah that's why it's like reading
half of the Quran. If you just had this surah you could live your
greed, you know, lead your whole life in the, for the pleasure of
Allah Subhana Allah. So we take the surah and we apply it in our
lives, that this is what is going to be happening. We have a
meeting, we have an appointment with Allah subhanaw taala. My
preparation for that appointment is that I want to pack my bags for
that of good deeds. I want to eliminate what I don't want to
show up in the President's palace with with my Toba in sincere
sincerity, and by doing good deeds that erase that.
So may Allah subhanaw taala Baker's wall, people of the moment
to fulfill its right people of the consciousness of Allah subhanaw
taala at all moments, people who look for knowledge of what would
please Allah subhanaw taala at this moment, people who know that
the people who know Allah subhanaw taala and love Allah subhanaw
taala people who know Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam in love
Rasul Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam and love to follow his sunnah,
knowing at every moment this is what he would have done, and doing
them, doing him lovingly doing them willingly not as a burden,
not as
fatigued by it, but rejuvenated by It energized by obeying Allah
subhanaw taala and following the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu
Sallam
