We praise Allah subhanaw taala
as he deserves to be praised and glorified, and we send peace and
blessings on the best of his creation. So you have Nam Hamid
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and his noble family.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to help us in our study of His words,
His Kalam
to open our hearts, because this is not a study of academia, to
pass exams. It is something that we want embedded something that
words of ALLAH to penetrate our hearts so that our hearts perceive
it, as Allah subhanaw taala willed it for us. So that we understand
the big picture, that we understand who we are, and why we
are here, and what we need to do to be successful with Allah
subhanaw taala. So we ask Allah subhanaw taala to open the hearing
channels of our hearts
and the understanding channels of our hearts and to show us truth as
the truth and to help us to follow it and to show us falsehood about
it as wrong. And to help us to identify it and stay away from it.
So the surah that we have planned today, and I'm sorry for the delay
beyond our control today. But anyway,
we start with surah number 100 of the Quran, which is an idiot
Surah idea is a makin Surah which means it was revealed before the
Hijra of the Prophet salallahu Salam in an environment where
Islam was being presented and being rejected by the people in
power, which was the Quraysh the noble
nobility of the parish, and the majority of people and the handful
of believers were being tortured and rejected and ridiculed and the
Prophet salallahu alayhi salam, likewise, was feeling this
difficulty.
So Allah subhanaw taala revealed this surah in that background, so
what I will do first is read the surah and then I'll read one
translation of the surah so we have a background and then we'll
start to see
how the Himalayas che upon your Raji Bismillah Rockman your Rocky
the well idea to your barber have fell Moria the powder fall movie
around here so the Thornaby Napa fair was shot on OBE Jana in
Berlin sanel Europe be like, can you were in Hawaii? Nicola che he
was in Hulu, Bill Hoya de Lucia the FMLA
serum Belfield Cobo a wholesaler man I feel so Oh, in our OB boom
they him Yo my will love Bobby.
So the amount or the read a translation? Allah subhanaw taala
says he swears takes an oath by the Chargers panting This is
horses at a gala going into war, snorting and panting because of
straining, galloping and Striking sparks, and by the Raiders reading
at the break of dawn, staring up there with a cloud of dust,
then piercing into the midst of a gathered army.
Indeed, man, to his Lord is most surely ungrateful.
And indeed, to this he himself is most surely a witness
and
Indeed, in his love of worldly goods, wealth, he is most surely
fierce and intense.
Does he not know then that when all that is in the graves is
unearthed
and all that is harbored within the hearts, the breast of people
is collected and taken out. Indeed, their Lord on that day
will most surely be all aware of that.
So, let's take the background first of all, as many of the
sewers that we have studied in the makan Quran, they start with a
custom an oath.
And just for our youngsters, Allah subhanaw taala is the most He's
allowed the truthful. So he does not need to take an oath. He
doesn't need to say I swear, but he does. And why does he swear?
Let's see, who remembers Why does he take an oath anyone?
Important for intensity? Well, to show the importance of something,
number two to gather the attention of people who are inattentive, and
I swear, that means something important is coming after this.
So that's the main thing is to take people out of the
heedlessness, they're going that somebody says something which
catches their attention, okay.
That's what he is going to say I swear by Allah that means
something important is coming because we can only swear by Allah
but Allah swears by his creation.
So Allah subhanaw taala uses his creation, to take an oath to bring
our attention to something important. So this is called the
person with taking an oath. And there is a job of person is wider
to what is being taken. So it is called Maxim be the object of the
oath what is swearing by, and Maxim Allah, He the subject, what
is the main point? So here, Allah subhanaw taala is addressing the
Arabs of the time, who were very, very
sort of fierce in the love of horses. Okay, they loved horses,
like you love Ferraris and Bugatti is today, there was the horse, the
ultimate, okay. And especially the war horses, which were fast and
fierce, and they were not afraid of anything. And they will love,
love to fight and battles. In fact, they were so fond of
fighting that if somebody said somebody one camel beaten out in
the race, for generations, they would fight each other, the tribes
would fight each other. So they love to fight, they loved
wars and rates and they loved horses. So they had a lot of
poetry, about warfare about horses and all of that. That was their
entertainment, because that so Allah subhanaw taala is addressing
this crowd, who's not listening to the Quran, who's not listening to
the call of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam of the Tauheed of the
Accra Jana and so on. So, so how does Allah subhanaw taala catch
their attention? He starts this revelation without saying
anything. So not talking about believing Allah is not saying you
know, there is ACARA coming believing the message This is the
Quran nothing is thought Why Allah subhanaw taala paints a scene
which would be like the trailer of a movie, it catches your
attention. So Allah subhanaw taala says, When our deity
hears here's the scene, you've got a bunch of war horses
with the Warriors on top ready to raid somebody
and add yet are those who are at full gallop they are charging.
They're racing as fast as they can, with the riders on top of
them. So much so they're breathing heavy and the nostrils are going
like this. The snorting if you've seen horses in the race horse how
they're going, so they are snorting.
And they're racing. While adhyatma dabka fall Moriarty cada and Maria
Maria means to to kindle to let off a fire so they are galloping
so hard, but how means pounding the ground. So they're running in
the sand imagine of the desert and their rocky areas and their
mountains, their rocks, so they're the shoehorns hit the the stones
and rocks and sparks come out just like you see that. So you see
these just telling you the intensity that they're running and
sparks are coming out.
Okay, so this catches the attention of the era
fun movie rowdy, so
they are heading to a raid in the early hours of the dawn when it's
just turning light. And this is the time when sleep is the most
intense for most people. So this is a good time to read people
because they're not prepared. So in that early hour, and it's not
very bright, so you will specially see the sparks flying in the night
because it's not fully dark.
But movie route is super for a foreigner behind NACA. That means
in the as they're galloping from the intense gallop, the dust
clouds are being raised. So you see a trail of dust being raised.
Okay, because of the intense group that and then ultimately, for
bossa nova he GEMA and they penetrate in where they're not
running here and they're directly into the middle of the enemy they
are reading, okay, what's that? What's the term means in the
middle, they are not in other words, they are fearless was
sadhana hijama. So he Allah subhanaw taala has created this
war scene, that here's a group of people who are going to read
another enemy, and the horses are full gallop, breathing heavily
sparks flying dust flying, going into the middle of it, fearless
because they're going right into the middle. When you go into the
middle, you'll be surrounded by the enemy, but they have no fear.
So this is the scene.
So then the Arab is looking sitting up the Bedouin and the
kurush
is obviously what happens next.
Like
Alaska one stops right there. Now he's got the attention he says in
in santa clara de la. This is the Java de casa. So all of this was
an oath by the adhia to those charging horses and their
descriptions. That's one note that Allah subhanaw taala says, In in
santa clara de la condiment. Indeed man towards his Lord is the
Most ungrateful. Now sugar
can note
that is the job of the customer. Okay, this is the point that Allah
wanted to make.
Now we'll come to what is the connection between the horses
other than getting attention and being
ungrateful now the word Knut is like a fool. Elsewhere Allah azza
wa jal in Santa Monica for many places go for coffee or Carrefour
here is the only place can ODE so there is little difference.
Extreme ungratefulness means to show no signs of gratitude of
thankfulness.
And some of the scholars like Hassan Al bursary, Rahmatullah Lee
said that canoed also means a person who's always complaining he
doesn't see good in anything. He doesn't acknowledge any blessings.
No matter what it is.
him he might have 100 Good things, if there's one, he does talk about
that that's a connote. Okay, Allah subhanaw taala saying that incense
in general, and especially addressing the co founder of maca,
that you are the most ungrateful
and we'll come back to what is the connection, but this was the point
that Allah was making, that he is most ungrateful.
In that in santa clara de la Canute we're in the hole Allah
Dalek, Allah Shaheed and to this, this ungratefulness he himself is
a witness.
Okay.
So as we know elsewhere in the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala on the
Day of Judgment will produce witnesses because people want
evidence, it's a court.
In the court, you have witnesses now you can bring angels as
witnesses you can bring other people as witnesses and you can
say Allah we didn't see them, how do we know this or that and so on,
so forth. So Allah subhanaw taala on that day will bring who as the
witness, you yourself as a witness against you now you can deny that
as Allah subhanaw taala says that your skin's will bear witness your
eyes will bear witness your legs will bear witness your hands will
bear witness. They will be Shaheed bear witness who against you as to
what you did, to confirm what you did or what you didn't do, what
you did, what you shouldn't have done, and what you didn't do what
you were ordered to do. So Allah subhanaw taala sang about this
ingratitude inside himself will be a witness on the Sunday. We're in
our daily coalition. Then Allah subhanaw taala tells us what is
behind this lack of gratitude. In the next eyeless one Anthony says
Whenever the local shade were in the hula hoop Bill Haley Lucia
deed, and indeed he is in the help
of higher now fair means good generally. Right? So help of her
should be good. But everyone says the word heard here means his
perception, man's perception of what is good, which is wealth.
That in son in his love in his help, for, for wealth, for, for
for money is intense. It's like a disease, it's endless. And that is
why he is ungrateful because no matter what Allah gives him,
he wants more. He doesn't think it's enough.
And the Prophet sallallahu Sallam told us explained to this in a
hadith about, he said about Insan, he said that man,
if he is given a value of gold, do you know what the value of gold
is? How do we measure gold is this
in return? What normally what this gives you a written,
ounce, or gram? or taller? How much are they this much.
And if you have big, then you got a brick of gold that's this big.
And if you have a trail of gold, that's this big, if you have a
vault full of gold, it is like this. If you have Fort Knox, it's
a building full of gold bricks, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
saying take the space between the two mountains, the valley, and you
fill it with gold, and you give it to a man
he would want the second one.
And if you give him the second one,
he would want a third one. And he said, nothing will satisfy will
fill his stomach except the throb the dust of his grave. In other
words,
till he is buried, He will never be satisfied.
That is the integrated tune of insan that they are never
satisfied. All days, it was if you become a millionaire, millionaires
are not considered rich anymore.
Then it became you had to have at least 100 million. Now 100 million
is considered poor because you have billionaire. And if you have
just one or two billions like Donald Trump, that's still not
rich, because now you have mega billionaires and soon we will have
a trillionaires because it never ends.
So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us that the core of this is this
intense love for the world.
Love for the world, hope means that you you you look at something
and feel that it is beneficial for you, it is higher for you, it's
good for you. And then you you you exert yourself to a maximum to
achieve it.
I mean, for example, youngsters when they're ready to get married,
they meet meet somebody from the opposite gender inshallah and they
look at them and they talk to them. So, this is going to be fair
for me, then they go all out
to to woo them and get them to marry them, okay, this is the help
of trying to achieve. So, this is what allows one that hope that
desire, the urge the effort is endless Chedid.
So, this is the cause this is the second part of the the Surah The
first is the OT this is the, the job of the cousin. And then the
reasons for that which is this intense love for for wealth. And
when you have that intense love you also disobey Allah by not
wanting to give any so holding withholding, not even given what
is prescribed such as zakat, you know, we're finding I'm paying
taxes Why should I pay Zakat
and saw the count up if you want more than that.
Okay, I already paid 35% Uncle Sam five to the state why do you want
another two and a half percent? Alright. So this is that intense
because you don't want to part with it.
Allah subhanaw taala then comes to the third part, reminding us he
says if Allah Allah movida books are a mafia Does he not know that
he's going to end up in the grave and then he will be taken out of
the grave like everything else. Like today is digging the ground
to get out gold and diamonds and oil and all the resources one day
he himself and everyone who was ever buried will be taken out,
taken out for a day of judgment.
Sarah is like you take some
thing out and you empty it you have a box with everything you
empty everything out the graves will be like all the grids will be
emptied
believers will be taken out this believers will be taken out the
people who murdered will be taken out the people who were murdered
will be taken out.
So anybody thinks that they got away with anything, it will all be
open.
Raha Silla FISU and Allah subhanaw taala will reveal what was in the
hearts not just the actions that were done, but what was inside the
hearts Okay, which is the intentions which is the love which
is the desire for this and that
Subhanak Allahumma will become the condition to Allah in
order to be like Sharla we can open it up for questions and
answers and comments.
