Allah show us truth as the truth clearly with clarity and help us
to follow it and show us falsehood, as falsehood clearly,
then help us to stay away from it.
Hello mulata canola and for Senator Fattah N O Allah don't
leave us even for a moment to our own fools. Don't let us be our own
guides and our own interpreters of your word.
So Inshallah, we are going to start with the last portion of
surah Allah. We had covered the first five Iots before
which was the first revelation and now we're going to go from there
to the end. So I'm going to read the surah
and then we are going to hear the English translation from and then
Urdu translation and then we'll go into
our own Jimenez shaytani R rajim Bismillah huruf manual working the

So the Kolok Nadeem we have a search that at the end of this or
you can do this inshallah at the end.
So, we are going to have you inshallah read the English
translation.
Read, old prophet in the Name of your Lord who has created, He has
created men from a clean cloth read, for your Lord is the Most
Gracious one, who has taught by the pen has taught man what he has
known not
know Indeed, most surely men is unmindful of his covenant with
God. And this he does transgress for he sees himself as self
sufficient, indeed, to your Lord is the ultimate return in the
hereafter? Have you seen one who would forbid a servant of God when
he prays? Have you seen when there's such a one such a one is
upon the path of heavenly guidance or commands people to be Eve ever
God fearing? Have you seen when he bellies believes the truth and
turns away? Does he not know that God indeed sees no indeed, more?
Surely if he does not exist? We shall certainly seize him by the
forelock allying sinful for a lot. Then let him call upon His
counsel. We shall call upon the guards of *. No, indeed. Never
shall he be helped, so do not obey such a one. Rather bow down to the
ground and gods worshipped and drawn here.

whose speech and decode your duty or soft attack?
Roll blandly up Neha new ketone eco Humby Azhar Krishna Googling,
his name is Kuba, NAMA No. Offset staccato for up near as cool as
shallow it just remind ourselves once again, the purpose of our
gathering that Allah subhanaw taala sent the Quran for guidance
and guidance is of little value. If we do not walk the path.
If we do not walk the path we will never get to our destination.
So that's the first thing we must remember and that there is only
one path which Allah subhanaw taala has called Serato Mr. Payne,
which after the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sternums Naboo is the
only path that leads to Allah subhanaw taala Allah smart Allah
says in Edina and Allah in Islam, that the deen in the sight of
Allah or with Allah is only Islam. And as we said the word Surat is a
singular word. There are no multiple ways.
Number two, when we studied the Quran, there is no room for doubt
in the Quran in any aspect of the Quran. Because Allah subhanaw
taala tells us right in the beginning that this is hudl Lin,
who the lil Mata pin you may know in a believable way up Munna
Salado, may Murdock now immune support. When Latina you're gonna
be melons, Ada La Cava mountains 11 will occur at the hem UK noon.
taqwa and certainty are requirements to get benefits and
guidance from the Quran.
If you have doubts about the Quran, Allah will lead you astray
because Allah subhanaw taala says you didn't know but he Kathy you
know what God but he cathedra we misguide many people through this
book behave with this book we misguide people, many cathedra and
we guide many people by this. So, what is the difference? What do
you bring to the table? What kind of a heart Are you coming with?
And just last in Surah Macbeth, unless Mantella mentions those the
the 19 Angels and what in in the end does Allah subhanaw taala says
Gallica you don't know Lahoma Yasha where Yachty Masha This is
how Allah leads some people astray and guide some people. Oh, why did
he put 19 Why did he do this? This sort of debate when Allah says
something in the Quran? What is your attitude?
And we believe in this that he said 19 That's it. No ifs ands
discussion. You know, debates, logic, you know, hikma if he tells
you fine if he doesn't, that's what it is. Amman, believers
condition is he submits the moment Allah's words are recited.
Third thing we said that we studied this Quran not to project
it on Alvalade Dibner mobile era or Abuja, * yes, there are
portions of the Quran that word specifically revealed
about someone or for an event or for an occasion or for a place
there were specific, but they always have a general import. You
know, there is meaning that applies for people till the Day of
Judgment. So you just don't so this is for Abuja, this dua if
anyone who has the characteristics of Abuja that applies anyone who
has the the characteristics of elderly that no malaria, those
ideas apply. So all of those things we have to take not
projecting on anyone else that I wish so and so should hear to
insurance. It is for me, personally, me, i i because that's
the most important thing. Everything when we see that
that we should say, What does Allah want from me?
What does Allah want from me? And am I doing this and fulfilling the
obligation of the Quran? Because the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam
said about the Quran that it will be Hijjah evidence
Lakka, our alake alayka for you in your favor or against you,
depending on how you reacted to it. So may Allah make it a Fajr
for us on the Day of Judgment.
Also, that we don't do this as an just as an academic discussion,
debate. And certainly not for showing off knowledge how much
I've studied how much I know and this, because the prophets of
Allah lism tells us that anyone who studies for that purpose among
others, and to debate with people and to look, he will go to
Johanna, this should be only for my rectification for the pleasure
of my Lord. So that's what it should be. And like I said before,
we are not scholars, I am not a scholar, I am a student just like
you. If you want to see a true scholarship, it is not how much a
person knows, or how well beautifully they recite the Quran,
or how well they memorized it, you should see the Quran in action in
their lives. If you see the Quran, in action in their lives and
everything, then you can call that person a scholar.
Anybody can give a lecture Islam is taught in our universities, by
non Muslims, professors sitting on chairs for, you know, years, and
they will quote you everything from every book of Tafseer.
So, be careful with the use of your words of scholars, please
don't call me that I consider it an insult. Shake, shake, shake is
good. Because share has two meanings, personal knowledge and
an old man.
So I'll accept that.
As a sign of respect, I can't call you know your teacher or
something. Because you know more than I do. So So Inshallah, also
let us focus on taking home lessons, personal take home
lessons after each. And I would be happy if you sent me, just two or
three lines, this is what I took home. Because sometimes it could
be something and frequently, because we learn from each other,
it may be something that didn't cross my mind you reflected on it.
And now I benefit from it, because we are here to benefit each other.
Excuse me. So as you know, the surah Allah is an early Meccan
surah. And the first five is where the first revelations
then after that, there was a gap and lot more Quran was revealed.
And you can see clearly from going to iron number six that time has
passed, time has passed. And it could be years, it's not
documented exactly how long had gone by because the message went
from a personal message to a family message to secret data to
public data,
which took time the Prophet salallahu Salam is not doing
public data. And when the message becomes public, there is denial.
There is ridicule. You know, there is after that comes physical
persecution. So this all has started because they are bent on
opposing the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam and his message.
So now, these ideas are revealed, obviously after a time where
physical persecution has started, where they are forcing Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam
out of the Kaaba that you cannot pray.
Abu Jamal went to the extent he had an argument with the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam, he said, I don't want to see you here again.
Then the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam said no this so he said, If
I see you I'll step on your neck.
This sort of thing was going on. Now.
In spite of this, the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam guess what
His attitude was? It's well documented that he was praying for
Abuja has guidance.
Many of you know that the Prophet sallallaahu Salam made a DA er
Allah guide, either or more or amor Amr ibn Al Khattab, one of
the two homers or anger ignition which is Abuja to Islam and
strengthen Islam be one of the two owners. And Allah subhanaw taala
chose on Magna Carta.
So even in that situation because the Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
salam knew the talent of Abuja as a leader as a smart man
So he he figured at if he comes into Islam, it would make a big
impact on the on the Moroccan society.
Now imagine the feelings of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi,
salam, and the early Muslims, that they are facing all kinds of
challenges. They're being ridiculed, they're being thrown
out of the family's physical tortures to the extent of being
killed.
And then the Quran is descending in real time.
Messages are coming from Allah subhanaw taala. And just imagine
what kind of strength it must give them in those moments of
persecution and weakness that Allah is watching and he is
responding, he's sending us messages.
You know, we have someone because here we have no one that Allah is
sending us solutions and guidance. So think of what kind of strength
because you needed a lot of strength. Can you imagine in that
society, being a handful of Muslims, and being persecuted and
tortured and you see people you see your mother and father being
tortured and killed? You know,
the family of who?
Sumaya Yasser, the son was
murdered the family of Allah Yasser young man seeing his father
and mother being tortured and killed the first martyrs of Islam.
Where do you get your strength from? That Allah is communicating
real time with us. Anytime we face difficulty, Allah will send us a
solution.
What should we take home from there whenever we face difficulty,
we have the complete book. Let's look in there to see if we can
find a solution for us and Allah has put a solution for everything
how Allah strengthens it, and those who do that regularly. Walla
Walla de if you are in distress, you read a few if you will find
yourself at ease peace.
The right intention.
So we start with the iron number six Allah smart Allah says killer
in in Santa Lietuva. As we said, color is a strong denial. It also
contains a warning denying everything that this person is
saying and doing. And it's a warning to quit. Don't do this.
Don't say this. Okay? In Mel insana, Lietuva. The VA means to
rebel,
to be obstinate in your rebellion, to be tyrannical to show that in
your physical actions, it's like floodwaters means they exceed all
bounds and they have a destructive force. This is what the rise Allah
subhanaw taala saying, in Al Insana, Lietuva, mankind is
rebellious. Now, where does this idea come after I look at the
connection before that Allah subhanaw taala says, I created you
You are nothing you are clinging on to life. In the wombs of your
mother as nothing you could have, I could have let you go any time I
brought you to this earth, I gave you strength you knew you came in
knowing nothing. You had no physical strength, no economic
strength, no, no knowledge, no spirituality, you had nothing.
And I brought you up. And I gave you all of this. And I taught you
L and L as you said by the pen is everything today the super
computers, that's L muffin. That's the same thing as the pen. So what
was the response because of what everything I taught you you
progressed economically, you progressed militarily, you
progressed in sciences, in medicine and all that you learn.
And when you learned all of this, instead of attributing it to Allah
subhanaw taala that he unveiled this knowledge, you took credit
for it.
And therefore you thought you were still gonna, you are running, you
were self sufficient, you did not need God anymore. Because I have
everything.
Allah subhanaw taala is telling you
that after benefiting from everything, instead of being
grateful for what he has achieved, he does not see the divine
dimension behind it. He just sees the movements of things. He
doesn't see who's the mover behind it. He sees things happening, man
and forgets that it's Allah subhanaw taala who was granting
this to him.
Therefore, he responds with aggression and transgression. And
what happens as a result of all of this, it has emerged again with
all this progress, what has come out again today,
denial of atheism has become a big thing again,
After all of this progress we have gone back to earlier. That's the
progress why because we see all of this we forget Allah.
Whereas Allah is the One who gave us all of this. And therefore, we
we immerse ourselves in more materialism. You know more
self-indulgence More hedonism, Let me fulfill all my pleasures,
because we do not need God.
So this is the history of humanity that Allah Subhana Allah has
summarized in two or three is that you want nothing, I gave you
everything, and this is your response. And when he says this is
a real response, he means the majority of mankind of course, the
people who are believers, people who are shocker, or are excluded
and who believe in it, but the majority of mankind is that. So
this is the first if and what is the expression of this tyranny of
this toggle? Because he feels now I don't need Allah. Now, we should
reflect on this many times. We don't say we don't need Allah
smart Allah. But everything's going perfectly in your life.
You forget about
you get busy with things. That's another expression of saying, I
don't need Allah. When do we turn to Allah subhanaw taala.
When a diagnosis of sickness or cancer or big loss or something
now we turn to Allah suddenly remember there is Allah, but when
everything is going perfect, many of us Illa Masha, Allah,
forget whiteleys Don't give Allah subhanaw taala thanks to the
degree that we should. We don't remember him as much as we should,
which is another expression, a milder form of, of denying and
taking credit for it himself.
So
the moment the person considers himself
himself, self sufficient, this is his response.
So then what does he do Allah subhanaw taala says
in Illa, Rob Baker Raj, verily, to your Lord, you will return
means don't forget that you have returned no matter what you have,
how successful how powerful, whatever you are, you will die.
Everything that's created is funny. It does not last it will
come to an end, including you. Good times come to an end, bad
times come to an end, nothing says everything is transitional. So if
good times are there, don't be so arrogant and so full of it that
I'm enjoying because it will come to an end. If bad times out there.
Don't be so despondent, because that too will come to an end. This
is how Allah Subhan Allah has created things.
And just remember very important that to your Lord, you will return
and when you return, there is accountability. What have you
brought? That's a key message for us. So Allah subhanaw taala shows
us what is the manifestation of this tyranny of this torah? He
said alright, the lady yen Ha, the word in Arabic is called stiff ham
is a question. Okay. Inquiry, have you seen right have you seen
literally means Have you seen or did you see? Did you see with your
eyes, but also means Did you see with your mind Did you reflect Did
you ponder, did you see a man who forbids Abidjan is us this ad?
Allah smart Allah has not said Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam,
but it is known that this was for rasool Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah,
Allah subhanaw taala calls him his ABD. And that's an honorific title
for Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, because he also uses that in Surah
Israa he calls it is Robbie Abdi, you know, unless wanted to add
that here is an act of Allah subhanaw taala who's doing Salah
and someone wants to deny him that no you can pray you
can pray.
Whereas the whole earth belongs to Allah and every place is a masjid,
a place of such that this is what it is Omar, you can pray here. And
then Allah subhanaw taala says, right in Canada, Canada. Do you
see that this person is on the right guidance, which is
Rasulullah Salallahu Salam. O Amara, taqwa and he orders
goodness he orders people to do good thing and to be conscious of
Allah. Whereas the other one who's forbidding alright in Kedah, Baba
his characteristic is he denies the truth and he turns away from
it this is Abuja, okay. And all those Abuja *'s of every
generation who deny the truth and turn away from it, and today
We have the same thing people trying to defame Islam and making
up stories.
Then Allah subhanaw taala says an IRA which is for all of us, and
it's a great warning. Lm er alum be Anila Yara
alum Does he not know
that Allah says,
Allah says, Allah sees what you are doing. Now,
the Quran is believed in Allah.
They believed in Allah. Because Allah subhanaw taala says many, if
you ask them who created the heavens and the earth, they will
say, Allah who brings the rain, Allah, but they were doing schicke
so Allah subhanaw taala saying that you believe in Allah and you
won't let somebody pray to Allah. Does that make any sense?
So, Allah subhanaw taala says,
Allah, Mia, Columbian Allah, Allah subhanaw taala could have just
said, an Allah, Allah, indeed, Allah says, But he says, doesn't
he know
that Allah sees why? Because all of these people claim to be
knowledgeable, to have knowledge, they were proud of the knowledge,
okay, you're knowledgeable, Then shouldn't you know that Allah
says, if you claim to be knowledgeable,
then it should be obvious to you. In other words, it's another way
of saying that you really don't know you're a giant.
Okay? That Allah sees everything and this is very, very important
for us. That every action that we do, wherever we are doing it,
whatever we are doing, whatever space it is, in, whatever we say,
whatever we look at every action, Allah sees.
Now, if that becomes a Haqiqa reality in our hearts, could you
ever disobey Allah?
Never. Because you're conscious Allah seeing me. If Allah is
Seeing me, how can I skip Allah tells me that I'm supposed to pray
and I don't pray. Allah says don't pick up this glass of beer. I pick
it up. That means I don't I don't have the reality that Allah is
Seeing this action of mine. If I'm looking at something that I
shouldn't be looking at, on my on my device.
Do I not know Allah see what my eyes are doing? So this is an idea
that we should all focus on. This is not just for Abuja, to see. It
is for Abuja, *, but it is for me.
Then Allah subhanaw taala says,
Can Allah Ilam Yun Tehila NASTRAN be now see
if he does not desist if he does not stop
leanness fan bin now sia
Nesrin comes from the word suffer out which means to grab something
and pull it violently and shake it.
There is another meaning which means to burn something with the
flame to scorch it. Allah subhanaw taala says if he does not and this
is specifically in this ayah of Abu JAL, that if he does not stop
what he's doing
the NUS fam Ben Nasya. I will have him dragged by his nasiha is the
fork for lock or forehead, the hair that and and what grows on
this part that he'll be grabbed from here. And this is his
punishment in the ACA in general. But Allah Swatara can show you
manifestations of that punishment in this dunya holes. Okay, so
Allah subhanaw taala says, I will have him dragged and scorched in
the fire. And you use the word Nasir, which is the front part of
the brain. That's interesting use. Now then he defines what kind of
Nasya this person has. Now certain care the button heartier, a Nasir
forebrain or frontal lobe that is a lion frontal lobe and that makes
an error in judgment. makes mistakes heartier okay?
This is from one of the miracles of the Quran because at that time,
they had no clue of what the frontal lobes do.
Do you know what is the function of the frontal lobes?
reasoning, judgment, decision making
all of those stopping from certain things that are not socially
acceptable.
Okay.
Understanding consequences prefrontal lobe consequences of
action that you're doing now what will happen in the future and also
his speech area so he says he's a liar. Those who
Words are being generated from his motor area of the speech. He's
saying he's saying this is this is magic. So Allah subhanaw taala is
telling us that we will drag him by that part of his brain which is
making these faulty decisions and doing these things.
Now, there was a little thing between the Prophet salallahu
Salam and Abu jehlen Some of the narrations one day Rasulullah
salAllahu alayhi. Salam was praying in the Kaaba again. And
Abuja was sitting with his cronies with his buddies. And they said,
you said that you're going to step on his neck. He said, I'll go. So
he goes, and as he comes close, Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam who's
in such that, he suddenly sort of thrown back like this.
And he goes again, it happens again, and he comes back and the
people say, Oh, you you didn't fulfill. He said, You know, you
didn't see it. It's what denied us. You didn't see the fire there.
You didn't see those creatures. So he was given sight of the rain. He
saw the hellfire, he's the creatures and he got scared. He
pulled back. Even the ambassador, the Alana said that had he stepped
on the neck of Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe. Salam, Allah
subhanaw taala would have sent his urbania to tear him apart right
here and now. But he stepped back. So when the Prophet salallahu
Alaihe Salam had said this to me, he said, Don't you know that all
of Makkah supports me? You know, I am the leader. So how do you
threaten me that you know you're going to do this I'm telling you,
you can pray here.
So Allah subhanaw taala says failure to Oh Nadia, tell him to
call his group his Nadia, his cronies his club, his henchmen.
senador is a banya and we will call as urbania. Which is another
name for the guard the the angels that guard hellfire. The word
Zubaan means in Arabic means someone who pushes. So these are
the angels who will push people into the hellfire. So you want to
call your friends to help you do that and see what Allah subhanaw
taala does. Then Allah Subhana Allah says, Allah Allah Patel who
was stood victory, he tells the Prophet salallahu Salam do not
obey anyone who stops you from worship anyone who stops you from
obeying Allah smelter doing what Allah has commanded you. Do not
obey him, no matter how difficult it looks like today we have the
same situation you have to project it. Do not obey them, don't be
intimidated by them. But what stood worked for him, go in search
with the search bar represent Salah
work trip and through search the query come close to Allah smart.
So we come close to Allah subhanaw taala true Sajida which means
salah
and the prophets, allah sallallahu alayhi salam said, Allah Axcelis
sujood it was mandated on me to do a lot of sujood which means pray a
lot.
The Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam tells us of caribou Maya Hakuna,
Abdu Mirabai Hua Hua, Sajid, the does. An Abbot, a slave of Allah
comes close to Allah subhanaw taala closest, when he is in a
stage
for a walk through dua he is and therefore when you are in that
position, you are closest to Allah. Do a lot of the do a lot of
because you're closest to Allah. And some this is the physical
sector. Now sometimes your heart may you may feel in a moment of
reflection, you're so close to Allah, your heart is in such that
literally, that's the time to do lots of Da because you feel so
close to us.
When you feel no barrier, that's the time to ask the last one. So
that is
what
Allah subhanaw taala instructs us, no matter what obstacles you face,
no matter what resistance people are stopping you from your deen.
Don't prepare them.
Come to Allah and your moments of anxiety in your moments of
distress in your moments of fear. Come to Allah.
There's an interesting
reflection I will tell you
that they teach us when you are afraid in danger. Don't be like an
ostrich because they say they say that when ostrich is in danger.
What does he do?
He buries his head in the sand. Guess what? That is a complete
fallacy. That's not what he does.
If the ostrich and they run at 30 miles an hour if they can
Not a runaway. The ostrich when it's in danger suddenly drops
flops on the ground.
Puts his neck and head flat and straight in front of it.
To be like an ostrich.
You can read the you can get this from San Diego Zoo. What happens
to ostriches, when they endanger?
They will tell you what they do.
Isn't that interesting? That ostrich has more brains in the
head of the ostrich is about this big. The ostrich is nine feet tall
head is this big. That brain knows what to do in danger when I cannot
run away. Fallen session.
We are looking for solutions everywhere else. So this is what
Allah Samantha teaches us.
So what are the key takeaway lessons and action plans for me
from this whole surah and number one, Allah subhanaw taala starts
with Cara which means learn, study well study thoroughly. Study with
the class for Allah for practice, and reflect on what you study.
Don't just do it casually. Number two, in the Name of your Lord
means do everything with the class for your Lord. Not for any fame,
name recognition or anything. And because he is your Rob, ask him
assistance in your acquiring of knowledge for Elmo, NASA. Allamani
Rasulullah sallallahu tortoises de la mania. So Luca Ullman. naffaa
wala, I asked you for beneficial alien, and what is beneficial L.
Mainly L that helps you come closer to Allah that helps you
obey Allah. And of course, that helps you in your risk. That's
also beneficial, but that's the main thing. Number three, that the
source of all knowledge and the source of everything, in fact, is
Allah subhanaw taala. So don't ever take credit for things to
yourself, then you become
those people who is still gonna who feel that they are. It is me,
because this is a characteristic of Qarun Allah subhanaw taala
mentions the story of Carlos from the bunnies, right? Who was told
to be, you know, grateful to Allah subhanaw taala says, In nama ot to
mean ailment and the
that my success is because of
my errand, which I have, instead of attributing it to a last month.
So don't be a cartoon. So be grateful to Allah subhanaw taala
don't take credit.
How to Be grateful.
Obey Allah
to do thanks to Allah subhanaw taala to submit to Him to worship
Him because that's what we were created for.
Last one to let's say mama HELOC to Gina will insert Illallah Yabu
dune for his worship He did not create us for any other purpose.
And when you have the knowledge say Alhamdulillah Allah ma Lambton
100 Allah for what Allah has taught me once in a while now
Allah increase me knowledge useful.
Always remember your origin that you are a weak, nothing, we were
zero and we became who we are, by the Grace of Allah subhanaw taala
don't ever rebel against Allah subhanaw taala or show arrogance
to Allah Spano Aragon says taking I have the Quran and saying now,
doing my own, this is how I see it. Whereas it's known to have a
different meaning. Okay, so don't show accept what comes from
Rasulullah Salallahu Salam Sahaba and our, you know, purified and
well known Alima
and don't ever consider yourself independent today we say You know,
you should be independent, this bad word. We are never
independent. We are 100% dependent on a loss. It's a relative term.
There is no independence. Why? Why? Because Allah says, I want
you to be my
ad. An ad isn't and independents are contradictory. Okay.
Number two, always remember as we said in our Rob Baker Raja, you
are returning to Allah, we need to remind ourselves every day. Last
Tuesday at 430 we saw a patient who was 32 years old, the UMass
student and I two days later medical examiner calls you
perfectly healthy called us we need your medical record because
he's dead. 32 years old. Okay.
We are returning. What does that mean? What is your preparation?
Don't let anybody stop
you from your practice of faith. The other side is you are not
permitted to stop anyone else from practicing their faith.
Allah Subhana Allah has given us freedom to practice our faith. So
it is not that okay, I am in Pakistan, I'm 99% Muslims, I can
take down the churches, I can take down the gurdwaras I know, let
them practice it is between them and you cannot stop people from
practicing their faith either physically or by ridicule or
anything. And always know as we said, lm yallambie Unohana anomala
you're always remind yourself at all times, whenever you're doing
anything
that Allah is watching, he sees everything
and do a lot of Salah and sujood to come close to Allah.
So that in summary, is the end of this Surah Al Allah and inshallah
we can open it up for questions and answers. May Allah subhanaw
taala open our hearts to His words and give us proper understanding,
as was understood by the early generation, and more importantly,
help us to take home and reflect on these and to implement all of
these things in our lives.
