We ask Allah subhanaw taala to open the hearing channels of our

after he has guided us, me.
The Surah that we are going to cover today is Surah Al Caltha,
which is surah number 108. So, we are at the end of the Quran, and
this is a Surah that is known and memorized by every adult, Muslim
and every child, because it is the briefest of all Surah has only
three verses. And we frequently recited in almost every salah,
because it is so brief,
but in a few verses Allah subhanaw taala has
as a miracle to us, for us, he has
instilled these few verses with so much meaning and so much
reflection that we can feel sometimes overwhelmed by it. And
we are going to study that today in sha Allah
Allah subhanaw taala says all the below him in a shade on your Raji

the simple meaning of it is in the name of Allah,
the Most Merciful, the Beneficent.
We have certainly given you alcohol
and abundance of good.
So pray to your Lord, to your Rob and sacrifice to him alone and for
him alone. Surely, He who hates you is the one who is cut off
most of the Mufasa rune
have called this the Meccan surah. And if we look at the context in
which it was revealed, it fits with the early makin period where
the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam was giving his Dawa, to the
Quraysh to his family
and was meeting resistance and was being ridiculed. People would
insult him. People would call him liar, they would say he is insane.
They call him a madman, a magician, all kinds of names,
which were personal assaults against his character.
And then some who were very very evil then descended to a level
that is even lower, which we will come to
have personal attacks at a time when some
But he is most vulnerable.
Now, there is a narration if you read the tafseer that some have
said that this may have been revealed in Medina, and that is
based on a Hadith from an Isbin Malik Ravi, Allah Han, who said
that, while we were with the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam in
the masjid, He dozed for a while. And then he lifted his head
smiling.
And he said, what means? Verily, a surah was revealed to me. And then
he decided in Alpina qualcosa for son Lilia Rob Baker one had in
Shanika will.
So if this report is true, there is some evidence in support of it
being Medina, but the majority have considered it a Marcus
makansutra. So let us examine the backdrop, the cultural backdrop in
which this was revealed.
As you know, the Arab society of the time was a tribal society.
It was a very violent society with lots of wars, lots of violence.
And therefore, the protection of any individual depended on his
family, and then on his clan, and then his tribe. Because there was
no central authority. It was not like the nation state of today,
the country's and you know, the country protects its citizens. So
there was no nation state at the time, with central governance and
authority.
And therefore, since your protection depended on your
physical strength, there was a lot of value to having sons,
because sons would grow up, they would be strong, they would be
fighters, they would be warriors, they would be the ones who would
earn. So in this Arabian cultural society of the time,
the son carried a lot of value, whereas the girls were considered
weak and a liability that they can protect you. In fact, even when
you raise them, they will get married and they will go and
settle somewhere else. And therefore, the lineage of that
family would continue through your daughter, whereas your own lineage
and legacy, your protection your defense would be to your sons.
So anyone in such a society without a male progeny had really
no protector and was considered weak.
Now Allah subhanaw taala tells us a little bit about this society of
how they considered
boys versus girls when they were having children.
Allah subhanaw taala says in Surah Nahal the big
were either Bush Shira Hado, whom Bill Onza Vula wedge who was what
dung were who were covering,
and when the news of the birth of a female child is brought to any
of them.
His face becomes dark and gloomy.
And he is filled with inward with caffeine with inward rage and
grief.
Then Allah subhanaw taala says
yet Awara Minella comi Minh su e mo Bushi Robbie,
a human seeker who I love mooning, AMEA do su fit to rob, Allah, sa
ma como comun.
He hides himself from the people, because of the bad news he has
received, of the girls being born,
thinking,
shall he keep her with disgrace and dishonor? or bury her in the
dust of the earth?
Certainly, how evil is their judgment and decision. So as many
of you know, it was a custom in many of the tribes, that the
fathers would bury their daughters sometimes alive.
Just imagine.
So in this environment, the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam was
born.
And Allah subhanaw taala so willed that he had no support or
protection
at all, how was that?
Before he was born, his father, who would be his primary
protector, passed away
when he was still a young five, six
Your old young boy, his mother passed away. So he is completely
82 years later, his grandfather Abdulmutallab who was taking care
of him passes away. He has no brothers he has no sisters. So he
has no horizontal support lit. Then his uncle
later on when he needs him the most passes away.
So what is his immediate family?
Yes, he is from the noble clan of Banu Hashim and he is from the
tribe of the Quraysh but they are opposing him.
So what is his family as you know, rasool Allah salAllahu Alaihe
Salam, at the age of 25, married our mother. So you need to know
how Khadija are the Allah on how Allah
and with her, he had six children
Xena,
rupiah, uma Colson and Fatima are the Allah and
the four daughters. And he had two sons. The first one was passing.
That's why his Kunia is a we'll call him the father of passing.
It's unclear from the history books where the person was born
before the nebrodi Allah Allah or after,
in passing, probably Allah has been passed away before the age of
two.
So his first son had passed away. And this was before the
declaration of prophethood. Before the revelation came to the Prophet
Sal lives
he had one more son with our mother Hadith, or the Allahu anha,
whose name was Abdullah, who was also called a tyre and taught him.
Now it's also unclear in which order he was born.
And he died in infancy before the age of one
and the prophets of Allah, Allah Salam did not have any children,
other than those till much later in Medina, when his only other
child was his son, Ibrahim,
who was born from his wife, Maria puppeteer. And he Ibrahim of the
Allah Han also died before the age of two.
Every one of the daughters of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam passed away in his life except, so you fought in Arabi.
Allah Han Han, who survived, survived him and passed away six
months after his death.
So this is the challenges the trials that the Prophet
sallallaahu Salam faced, who had lost his father, his mother, his
grandfather, his uncle, his wife, Khadija, the Allah Hannah, and all
of his children, three sons, three daughters, except one, no
brothers, no sisters. That's why he said, I have been tried more
than any other prophets in the prophets were tried more than
anyone else.
Now what was his prophetic family? At that time? He lived with our
mother Khadija, Robbie Alana. There were four girls there. And
there was
Zaid Bin Hadith, who had been originally slave servant, then the
Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam gave him freedom and called him.
Zaid Ibrahim Hamid, like an adopted son at that time, before
Allah Subhana. Allah changed those rules. And he had one more young
boy living in his household who he had taken who was his cousin. So
yeah, so yeah, Dona Ali ibn Abi Talib because his uncle Abu Talib
was in dire straits financially. So Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi
salam took alira The Alana to live in his house, as his household and
he was his first cousin also. And there was a man who had been like
a mother to the Prophet salallahu Alaihe salam from the time he was
born, she is the one who received him at the time of his birth and
lived in that household. So this is the household in which there is
only one adult made Rasulullah sallallahu.
So, this should have been a moment of weakness, yet, look at the
strength of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam with no support
structure with all the opposition of the tribes and clans. And they
are opposing his message they are ridiculing him and then at some
point that offering
him deals deal such as we will make you our leader, we will make
you the richest, we will give you all the most beautiful women and
he is rejecting all of that and then they came with another deal.
We will worship Allah alone for one year, and the next year we
will all worship the idols and we will alternate this.
So anyone in a weak position would compromise something like this,
but what does Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam say? He
says, quote Yeah, you hold careful lab do matar
or Koresh or Yoo
hoo, disbelief Calphalon.
I do not worship what you worship and you do not worship?
Is this weakness? Or is this strength he does not compromise on
the most basic principles, the constants of our deen. This is
important for us to remember how difficult it was for him yet. He
did not compromise on this and this
should make us reflect how often in our lives when we are
challenged in a difficult environment, in an Islamophobic
environment. We bend rules we try to compromise we try to become
more sort of
friendly or compromising or open to compromise with others.
So when Abdullah the second son passed away, it was a moment of
great grief and sadness for the profits and aliveness
that moment some of the people that were close to him it is
narrated that Abu Lahab who was his paternal uncle,
when he heard this news now when such a thing happens when you lose
a little child, even your enemies come for condolence, but Ebola hub
and Abuja *. They were rejoicing and there was shouting
in the streets. God booty RAM from God but Allah Muhammad, indeed,
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam has been cut off
Bazzara cutoff means there is no lineage after him he has no sons.
So there is no legacy after
and one
of the enemies of Islam by the name of us Ignatova
would tell people leave him Don't worry about him. He is a man who
is cut off because he's cut off from his descendants. He has no
male children. So when he dies,
his Deen will die with him. No one will even remember him.
So when he dies, his religion will die and he will never be
remembered. There was another one by the name of aqua Libnah Abu
Ibni RB more eight, who would say similar things. There was a
chieftain from Medina who came in at the time by the name of Cobb
YBNL, Ashraf and the Macan said to him, You are from Medina, look at
our situation. We take care of the Kaaba, we provide for the judge,
we have this we have this, and there is this man this, this
orphan Muhammad, who we raised, and he says this, so what is your
opinion, he said, You are all better than him.
This was his verdict. So just imagine
you having lost a child, and this these are the personal insults
that are being hurled at you.
What difficult situation how hurt, because after all, Rasulullah
salAllahu alayhi salam is a human being. How hurt he must be. Yet
this was the decree and ECMO of Allah subhanaw taala that he wants
to have no surviving. Male progeny, no child, three boys,
three out of three passed away before the age of two.
Because Allah had so destined it, Allah Subhan Allah says in surah,
Allah Azza Makana Muhammadan Abell had the Marija Alikum wala que
rasool Allah he will hide them and begin what can Allahu bequem
Nisha, you know, Halima
must want Allah says, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is not
the father of any minimum you but he is the messenger of Allah and
the seal of prophethood
and Allah has perfect knowledge of all
things. This was the decree and wisdom of Allah subhanaw taala.
So in this critical moment when he's being challenged for about
his message, he's being persecuted, his followers are
being tortured, he loses a child and that hurled more insults at
him in his grief, and in his hurt, to lend him support, to console
him
and to help his grief and distress by giving him great positive news,
Allah subhanaw taala revealed Alcohol
Alcohol.
Now, the word Al CalHFA have people scholars have said comes
from Katra Katara means abundance, both in Arabic Kathy kufra and in
order also we use it
Gazzara means abundance. So, Alfalfa
is an abundant goodness.
So Allah subhanaw taala says we have certainly given you alfalfa
means it's in the past tense means, it has already been given
it has been declared it has been given to you.
Even before you were born, it has been given to you it has been
assigned to you by Allah subhanaw taala, a special gift.
So you're naive now Basler the Allahumma who was the great
scholar of the Quran, that Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
himself declared and whom he prayed for? He says that cow's
milk author means endless, abundant good
Hiren coffee,
abundant good that was given to the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam
in the dunya and the ocher.
And so some of the companions said, yeah, if now Basara the
Allah on Houma. But what about the river al Caltha in Jana, that was
given to the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, he said, the river
in Jannah el corte is part of that abundant good but not the only
good that was given to the Prophet several lives.
And this river in Jannah, which is called alpha
in the alpha is described by many in many authentic hadith by the
Prophet sallallahu
including what he saw in his marriage.
And the heartwood where we are going together with Rasulullah
sallallahu this
is part of the culture it is filled with the water of Gotha
and it is as the Hadith says surrounded by
they're called Enya cups or goblets or something special that
that are nothing like we know which are as many as the stars in
the heavens that are sort of muscle alive is to say, because
each one will be given to one of the image of Rasul Allah saw one
of his followers, by the noble hand of Rasulullah sallallahu
Sallam filling, drink.
So, the health, the pool, which we will reach, after, we have crossed
that bridge with the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam will be
waiting for his ummah
is filled with Gotha
the banks of this river are described in the Hadith as being
made of gold and special hollowed pearls
and
the water that flows is pure and Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said
that it is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey and it smells
like the best of musk.
And the pearls and the the pebbles on which this river flows are made
of gems, rubies and pearls and emeralds.
And he said there are domes on the of pearls on the shores.
In another Hadith, he said there are beautiful birds.
And he described them with long beautiful necks. He described them
like a carrot.
And he said if you eat them, he was telling say that our Omar
Abdel Fattah, we said Yama, if you eat them, you will become even
more beautiful.
So there is special blessings in this river.
This river was given to rasool Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam. But
if you think about it, it was given to us because who's going to
be drinking from it? The amount of Rasulullah sallallahu this
So this river of alfalfa is also a gift to us.
Or Surah allah sallallahu sallam said that whoever drinks from this
from that Ania that goblet will never again, feel thirsty. After
that what you drink in Jannah
is not for anything else except for pleasure. It's not for
quenching the thirst.
