Sit down with equal Marsh Matala here Barakatuh Bismillah
Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah Allah Allah He was
savvy woman with
a llama Zinnia Halima
your Allah open the hearing channels of our hearts and
increase us in useful knowledge, knowledge which grants us greater
recognition of you, brings us closer to you and provides a means
of success in this life and in the hereafter. I mean, we send peace
and blessings on our beloved, the most noble of Allah's creation of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa Salam is Beit is Sahaba and his
descendants and companions
in the best way that Allah grants his blessings.
We beseech Allah subhanaw taala to grant him that
and to grant him the best of what He has granted to any messenger on
behalf of his Oma. I mean,
we're going to talk about Rasulullah sallallahu he was salam
today because we have chosen the 88 chapter
surah of the Quran, which is Surah Abba.
And as we said, this was only perceived by Allah subhanaw taala
Abdullah now remember to did not know, the Quraysh didn't who were
there didn't care because for them, he was a lowlife. You know,
a blind man who's got no social status, no great nobility, so they
didn't care.
Yet Allah subhanaw taala addresses this.
He says and Jaya who am I? Because they came to him the blind man
interrupting you.
There are two words used in Arabic for coming Jah and atta
and the scholars have said that generally Jah is used for
something that is that has a huge impact like either Jaya a natural
light when the help of Allah comes in Islam straight, you know,
either zoo Zillertal or those eels Allah talking about piano so big,
big events are addressed with Gia
the coming and atta lesser Yet Allah smart Allah has mentioned
this small incident with either an angel with Judah means this is
something big.
Then Allah subhanaw taala says wema you rica la Allahu yes Zakka
when you Rica, but what could tell you? Or what could make you know,
law Allah Who? Perhaps he means Abdullah ibn Al Maktoum? Yes.
Zakka or yet Zakka? Here it's yes. Zakka the original formula yet
Zabka means he would grow he would purify himself.
He would grow in understanding of the deen. What would in other
words, Allah smart Allah is now after that first thing is making
an excuse for us to Allah salAllahu alayhi salam, and now
addressing him in second person
by saying Rama you recap what would make you know, he's not what
would make him know anymore. What would make you know, that perhaps
he would be purified? In other words, you didn't know that he
would be purified. So this is an excuse that Allah subhanaw taala
say perhaps that's the reason.
And again, yes Zakka we talked about the test here and the last
Surah again, talking about purifying himself from all that
Allah Samantha, this slide starting first with the belief,
which is the is the skier of our email, from all forms of real
hidden, subtle ship to the terrain of Alaska, and then purification
of our character from all the negative character traits and bad
habits that Allah subhanaw taala saying that, perhaps if you had
talked to him,
and given him your attention
Session, he would have learned enough because he came to you. And
it would have helped him to purify himself. But you didn't know.
Oh, yes, that girl
for 10 farhood Decra.
Or he may be reminded, oh, yes, that girl. And that reminder
because he will be reminded by the Quran, that remembrance that
reminder for 10 Farah who it would have been beneficial for him, it
would have benefited him. You did not know that. If you had paid
attention to him. You are taught and instead of those low lives,
the real law lives even though there were the leaders of Makkah,
because their hearts were corrupt.
That in this way, if you had addressed him, he could have
learned it would have been beneficial for him. He could have
purified himself so Allah subhanaw taala say and this would have been
the benefit if you had addressed him, but you did not know what ma
you rica
this word you Rica is only use three places in the Quran.
Many most places it says a Draka if you remember it comes from the
same dark mama adorar karma your Monday you know, the mama that are
coming and at the Raka and you rica you rica Some have said that
you rica not only means what? What would let you know but it implies
that you will never know you would have never know because you don't
know what is inside the hearts of people. The other places where
this word you recurrent to other places that it comes in the Quran,
it has to do with the Sangha, the coming off the day of judgment and
of the Day of Judgment itself, that the Prophet salaallah lism
will never know when the day of judgment is okay nobody knows only
Allah. So this Eureka
also implies that you did not know and you will learn
that Allah subhanaw taala goes on to say about the other people for
so addresses what would have happened if you turn your
attention to the blind man. But your attention was towards the
important leaders. Allah subhanaw taala now sort of takes apart
those leaders and brings them down. He elevates and honors
Abdullah Abner Maktoum. And he brings down those leaders even
though in a worldly sense, they are leaders he says m minus
Taberna.
And as for the one or for him, is governor who thinks himself self
sufficient the word of learner winner.
Honey, Allah is a lot of money, self sufficient, independent, not
in need of anyone. These people, this man or these people consider
themselves external. They have a feeling that they're self
sufficient. They're independent, they don't need anything. They
don't need Allah, they don't need you. Or your reminder ya rasool
Allah serializer
they don't need the Quran because they think they are independent
because of their arrogance. And this example is in the previous
Surah, also of a nurse Ziad where Musa Salam is sent to her own same
concept going to the leader, will you accept the message? And again,
oh, sorry, denied, negated, because of his arrogant, how
arrogant is it? Hon. Kamala, now I am.
Allah, same concept that they don't need. So Allah subhanaw
taala says, Now this is who they are. They think they are
independent. They think they're self sufficient for Anta Lu to sit
down for him, you
the sub that means you give him you keep turning to him, you keep
giving him your undivided attention.
You give him your full, undivided attention and you
turn away and you frown on the blind.
Well, ma alayka Allah Yes, Zeca
because your concern is that this these important people may not
purify themselves Allah subhanaw taala saying, well, ma alayka it
is not your responsibility. You are not held accountable for that
if they do not purify themselves, yes, Zabka he does not purify
himself. The other one wants you to purify himself.
wha alayka that your job is to just convey the message. You don't
have to, to give them that status and you're asking and asking and
presenting and convincing you convey the message if they accept
it, fine, if not, you're not held accountable for it, you're not to
blame. Because you are only the messenger, your duty is to convey
the message. And also hidden within this is the structure wama
alayka, Lis Zakka and that Allah also implies that he will never
purify himself.
These people who are going to they're going to die in the state
of coffee.
Of course, these are things that only Allah knows the Prophet
sallallahu listen does not But here Allah subhanaw taala is
addressing the prophets of Allah listen directly in second person
that you do not know these things.
What a man men Jaya, okay, yes. And again Allah subhanaw taala
goes back to the blind men, or the Allah Han says, and as for the
mother of one mangia cat who came to you? Yes, sir.
Enthusiastically
rushing. You've heard of the word sa Where do you hear it?
You do,
say, between Safa and Marwa it's not a stroll.
It's close to a run. It's a quick walk.
Rush. Because that's what our mother hazard was doing rushing
between mon mon he can to you. As for the one who came to you
running, rushing, eagerly striving to learn?
While Hua Yaksha No. And he came what was the inner state of his
heart? He was in Hashem of Allah. What does that mean? He was in all
Allah is comparing the other man who is independent, he doesn't
need Allah or anyone else he thinks he is independent, self
sufficient. Whereas this man is in all his fearful I want to do what
Allah wants.
He is an awful last month for Undine Huhtala
and you are distracted and neglectful of him. And you did not
pay him attention. The last part comes from low, lower lower means
entertainment, distraction, you know, Song dance is called love.
lovable to distract you from other things. So Allah subhanaw taala
sing to Allah, you are distracted away
from the one who came eager.
And who had the Hashi of Allah and His heart.
Again, the lesson for us from all of this is
we should just convey the message to everyone don't look at their
status. Number two, we don't know who is going to get guidance
because that is Allah subhanaw taala has Heckman and his favor.
Our job is to convey the message in the best way that we can. Our
job is not to convince people to keep you know trying to to twist
or to demean the message or to compromise the message just to
bring somebody on board in Islam.
The message is noble Allah subhanaw taala is going to talk
about that further later on in the Surah.
And then
Allah Subhana Allah tells us after this he says color in hair
color is a denial no you can take it as no that was not the right
action.
Color also means no indeed
that those people will never accept it
in their hair
indeed these verses because it's in the feminine
these verses that really relate to this incident though the Kira that
Kira is a reminder it's an admonition
in NA though Kira.
Know you might say a reminder
reminder of what reminder of the telehealth of Allah subhanaw taala
How is that you could say
When we say remind that means we already know something that you
are being reminded. But this early Macan period, people don't know.
Quran is just being revealed. So how can we say it's a reminder,
majority of the Quran has not been revealed
what is meant is
that our souls our room,
already knew the hadith of Allah subhanaw taala.
It was put into our fitrah it was encoded in our fitrah.
And Allah smart Allah tells us elsewhere in the Quran, that he
took the Erwan the souls of all Bunya them from his back from the
war. And he collected them
in the realm of the souls and said, Unless to bear up bacon, Am
I not your Lord?
And we set our soul said
are you Bella Shaheed, we bear witness. So we already know that
hate and Allah has put that aid in our fitrah in our natural
inclination in our genetic code.
So now it's a reminder of those things. So it's not something that
we are, we didn't know yes, we knew. But we knew before this
existence. Now Allah through this is reminding us of that reality of
they're reminding us of that oath we took with Allah subhanaw taala.
Thurman share that
among share, so whoever wills share once wills Vacca let him be
reminded let him pay attention to it.
Fee superthin more Kalorama
that this reminder this man is in so Huff in scrolls in Pages Mikado
Rama that are honored
anything on which the words of Allah are written is honored.
Okay, Allah is saying this is not an ordinary reminder, this is the
Quran
we have him Makara
what sort of we are talking about because we have so available on
him so the Musa so on so forth? The so we have the Quran the most
have
majority of scholars are of the opinion that this is talking about
the love of my food, the garden tablet, where all of the
scriptures
that these words are too noble and too honorable to be just thrown at
someone who has no in no inclination, who thinks I don't
need anything.
He is the one who should be coming crawling on his
hands and knees looking for this. This is not something you taught
these people who don't want to accept
might have forgotten what Baja or less one Tala describing the Quran
of what these words are that it should think in our hearts. When
we have the Quran what we are talking about. Mer flew out, Rafah
means elevated, ennobled, exalted in dignity, in glory, Moto Hara
purified
there is nothing that is impure about
the ad, suffer
in the hands of suffer
and the majority opinion on the sufferer is these are the scribing
angels who write and who carry the message of philosophy.
The word Sephora comes from Sephora which has multiple
meanings in the in Arabic one meaning of Sephora is to open to
expose because you are exposing the message.
Sir Sufi is an ambassador also from the same route ambassador,
like the angels are ambassadors of the message that the Gambia are
ambassadors of the message taken
and suffer or travel Yes, the angels travel with these message
and bring them down so there can be multiple meanings. But when it
says Sephora, the scholar said this is talking about this is in
the hand
Have noble Angels who have written it who have carried it.
Then Allah subhanaw taala again mentioned Kira min Bharara here
Amin,
honorable, who are virtuous who are
gentle generous. Berra comes from the word. This is the only place
in the Quran the word bara comes
describing these angels, this comes from the word BB, and BB
means to be
good. That's where the word better comes to be.
Very good to to be obedient to Allah.
Okay. Now, generally,
the plural of this bar
is Abrar in Aurora Luffy nyeem, Allah subhanaw taala is talking
about that the Abrar the people, the people of bear,
in the hereafter will be in delight.
Bara is also a plural of bear of bar. So what's the difference
between the two and this is the only place where binarize used
everywhere else abroad is used. So some of the scholars have said the
word Bharara is Gemma tech field jam Jana have a lot of numbers
whereas Abrar is a Gemma of killer of few people, because the people
entering Paradise will be few
Barbara, righteous people in the world that how many, few but here
he is talking about the angels of Bharara
another interesting thing is the word burn in Arabic also means
what? Burn and Baja what is that?
Bihar is ocean berries land,
what is more stable land or the water? The land that these Abrar
are people who are still
steady with that.
Anyway, this is just an aside, Allah subhanaw taala saying that
these words that you are conveying this message that you are
conveying Ya Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam is nothing ordinary.
And this is for me and you that what we are reading what we are
studying is nothing ordinary This is are the words of Allah subhanaw
taala This is the heaviest if it came down on the mountains as
Allah subhanaw taala says, lovin Xena hurdle Quran Allah javelin,
the writer who Hashem what the Sudan beneficiating
You will see the cashier, who show of the mountains crumbling in the
words will come down yet it doesn't have an impact on some of
our hearts, which means we are harder than mountains. So Allah
subhanaw taala is enabling the message, the messenger and his
words and he is taking down is tripping off the clocks of the
leaders of Makkah of the Quraysh.
Then Allah subhanaw taala
shifts to the third part, talking about insaan in general, which is
his ingratitude. Allah subhanaw taala says what he learned in San
Lumet AXA.
The word Cotulla essentially means be destroyed. And it's in the past
tense means they have been destroyed. For for the tacky for
certainty that this will happen or has it is indeed what may in
Surgeon General mankind be condemned an accursed. Why,
man
and this macabre is one of the odd job of surprise. How ungrateful
like you say, in a way of amazement. How ungrateful can he
be? He's been given everything.
He was nothing. He's been given everything and he's still
ungrateful.
Ungrateful. That's one meaning of Guevara. The other meaning of
Guevara is to disbelief both
cover up the truth.
So, how ungrateful is he? Allah subhanaw taala saying in men in
general
and then Allah subhanaw taala reminds men look at yourself. mean
a che in
Caulerpa
from what thing from what substance halacha? Did Allah
create him?
Look at your origin you are nothing.
What did you create you from?
How noble was the thing that he created you for?
And Allah subhanaw taala asking the question he answers himself,
men notified thing Holika who,
from a notified from an impure sperm drop, He created him Allah
subhanaw taala saying, this is your beginning, this is your
origin, you arrogant one.
Use one who consider yourself self sufficient, one who shows in
gratitude to Allah subhanaw taala, who denies him denies his famous
from that He created you holla pow who He created him
for God Daraa
and ordained and enabled him and everything.
The stock a day, which includes how he was going to look like what
his risk would be, whether his eyes would see whether his ears
would hear what he would look like how he would speak, what his risk
would be, what his family would be, what honor he would have, what
he would do what you everything Allah enabled him.
Destined everything ordained everything for him, not just
created him all the way to his death.
And yet you deny him
from Maasai, and this was done before from Mr. Vela Yes, sir.
Then Allah made his path his Sabine, yes sir easy.
Put all that in his genetic code, what was going to happen?
And then the majority of scholars said that this Allah subhanaw
taala, say, and he did not even have the ability to come out.
Allah made his passage,
through from the womb of his mother out into the world easy.
He didn't remember what pains she went to through, he just came out
or she just came out.
Allah made his path exit. If you think of it, you know, the cervix
is tight like this. And this big creature is coming out of this.
How, who made it happen? Who made this dilatation who made this
thing happen? Who made it contract and push through.
And then after is here, who makes things easy for him, who provides
him with milk? Who provides him with all his necessities? Who
provides him with with made his pets in the dunya? Easy, who
provided him with the most important path to be Serato Mr.
Payne, the guidance Allah
some sama Sevilla Yes, Allah is reminding.
Sama Amato, Amara and then he caused him to die.
Allah saying you don't even have control on your life and death,
Allah Azza for Akihabara, who and had embedded
and barriers wherever you ending is whether it's in the water,
whether it's in the ground, whether you burn them, that's the
end, ultimately whatever is left goes back into the ground, whether
even your short food
in the end, all of that goes back into the soil. Even those fish die
those atoms will go back into the earth
and after that, thumb into SHA, SHA,
and then whenever he wants
either SHA one SHA
He will resurrect Masha
Allah smart Allah saying whenever he wants, some either means it's
going to happen it's not going to be step wise that oh, now this has
to happen and that like we grow initially, on the Day of Judgment,
it will be instant you will come out full grown.
Just from the elements. It's not going to be drug growing from
zygote to so and so and then a baby and no fully grown. That
either implies that in this case, SHA unshare suddenly national
published out
resurrected
killer LEM Maria de mer Emma
Last one, Allah says killer. No indeed.
lum man.
This man has not done yet for the mathema he has not fulfilled what
Mr. Ma Amara who what he was commanded by Allah. He has not
fulfilled the commandments of Allah. The first one of which
is to believe in Allah Alone with our partners, to worship Him along
with our partners, to acknowledge Him with our partners, to be
grateful to him for his favors.
And then all the rest. Allah smart Allah saying no indeed color and
again this refers to the majority of humanity
llama means they have not achieved yet it leaves the door of hope
open, that maybe they will achieve.
It does not imply that it will never happen, means they have not
achieved even till the coming of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
humanity had not achieved that there will be times where people
would reach that and then again deteriorate except for a handful
of people. And the same thing yet Allah Subhana Allah gives us hope
that you can achieve that what is your Kadima, Amara to fulfill, to
do what Allah has asked us to, to fulfill His commands and
fulfillment of Allah's commands is Islam. submission to the commands
of Allah subhanaw taala without any ifs ands or buts, how, as
shown to us by Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa Lucia.
So this is where we are going to conclude today's session. With
these I think it's 23. So we have covered half of Surah Hadassah,
and we will cover the other half, inshallah be in Manila in two
weeks. But I want you to reflect on this and see how Allah subhanaw
taala even though he rebukes the Prophet sallallaahu Salam honors
him by finding excuses for him. And it was not a mistake, it was
not a mistake. It was just he looked at two situations, he opted
for this as being more impactful. Yet Allah saying, No, this is what
would have been more impactful, but you did not know. Yet. Allah
subhanaw taala uses this, and he honors Rasulullah sallallahu
Sallam by saying that from you, I expect the best.
And then he makes excuses for him. He makes excuses for Abdullah,
even Abdullah ignoring the Maktoum that he didn't know, he came with
his enthusiasm wanting to learn and the lesson for us is looking
at, we should all want to be like the blind man, rushing to learn,
rushing, to purify, rushing to be reminded.
He came, we have the whole scripture. How much do we rush to
learn?
Unfortunately, we learn everything else.
12 years of high school, 11 years of senior Cambridge, four years of
college, four years of this graduate school,
gone to the basics of Islam.
We are in K to kindergarten,
Arabic, we are in pre K
anything so we can cry over it. But what we have to do is
allocate more time
for our dean for studying the words of Allah subhanaw taala the
words of Allah subhanaw taala that honor us by being anyone who
receives these words is honored by it.
Not that oh when I have time that is showing this honor.
We have to lower ourselves because water flows from high to low.
When we lower ourselves and I don't know anything your Allah
teach me.
Like he said, jasola Teach me we can say Allah teach me. I
eliminate Jesus with that which will benefit me with you.
Teach me What is this honored word of yours? That may feel
the weight of it on my own. Let my heart collapse like the mountains
will.
So
we have to study the words of Allah subhanaw taala
reflect on the words, our lessons should not be just that we attend
one hour of this and then we forget what impact the surah have
on me. What am I going to change in my life as we keep reminding
ourselves,
we study to implement, we study to change, we study to become better
human beings, better Muslims better, a bad of Allah subhanaw
taala. So may Allah subhanaw taala help us to understand his words,
to reflect on them to internalize them and make them part of our
character and be for his pleasure not to show and impress people for
His pleasure only with the class and we strive doing that till
Allah subhanaw taala who has already caught Darren, who has
written for us, calls us back to him, and that he calls us back to
him in a state where we are in that state that is used to be this
army. So Chanukah Lama Hambrick. Nasha do Allah Allah Allah, a
