So now why do you have to worry about a catalogs?
Bismillah
Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah Allah Allah He was
happy woman Wallah.
Along math deck Masami up Illumina Lydia Couric.
We praise Allah subhanaw taala and we sent Peace and blessings upon
his beloved messenger
our Molana
Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
in this blessed month of raviolo Well,
in which Allah subhanaw taala chose to send
the best of his creation,
as a mercy to all the worlds
as a guide, as a teacher, par excellence
as a
character unsurpassed in excellence,
as the best of husbands as the best of fathers as the best of
guides, as the best of friends
as the best of well wishers,
the best of the Habad of Allah subhanaw taala
the best of the Gambia in the mursaleen the prophets and
messenger
mail last one on Tala inaudible his status
on the day of judgment, and in the agora, and make us worthy
followers of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
the love of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam demands that we
know him.
That we know everything about him that we know him better than we
know our own children and our own parents.
That we know him better than we know ourselves.
Because the more we know about Rasulullah sallallahu sallam,
the more we will love him, because to know him is to love him.
And to love him
is to want to emulate him to be like him to follow him
to the best of our imperfect abilities.
So, in this blessed month, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to bless us
again,
by feeling the presence of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
in our hearts
and in our lives and in our homes.
And to see reflections of his character in our character
and to take
as beloved what he loved
and to leave aside what he left aside
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
was described
and we hear about his physical descriptions in the Shemitah about
his habits.
And someone asked our mother, Aisha Radi Allahu anha.
What was the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam like
and she knew Him
in every aspect of life, private public from a very young age.
Till the moment Allah subhanaw taala took him
and at that moment, his noble head was resting on her lap.
So she described him
in a very simple summative statement, he said, he was the
walking poor.
So if you want to walk like him, we need to know the Quran.
Otherwise, where are we going to walk?
And that's why we gather We ask Allah subhanaw taala to bless this
gathering to bless this host to blood and their family, and to
bless all of those who came and those who could not attend live
with an understanding of his book,
and this is our gathering here is not because of any of our
abilities, or because of our schedules, or because of our
plans.
We are here for this gathering, purely as a rathna
As a blessing from Allah subhanaw taala.
Otherwise 100 different hurdles can come and you can plan and then
it doesn't come through. So we thank Allah subhanaw taala for
allowing us to be present here and now for his remembrance to study
his book.
So what we have chosen for study today is the 55th Surah of the
Quran,
which is a rock man.
And I know it's a favorite of many people. Because it sounds so
beautiful, even for those
who don't understand it.
Recently
a friend of my eldest sister
was dying, and she is a non Muslim.
So she was very restless in her hospital bed.
So my sister decided to play for her on her phone.
The recitation of Surah Ragnar.
And she come down.
And she said, It's so beautiful. She said, play it for me again,
and leave a recording here so I can keep hearing it.
So that's a good story. But the question is, what does the
recitation of Surah Rahman do to my pulp? That's the ultimate
question.
And if that's just the the baraka of the hearing it what should it
do if we understand it?
So the majority of
scholars of the Quran have said this, this is a makansutra,
revealed when the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam was in
Makkah, among the Quraysh, undergoing hardships and
difficulty and obstruction and, and opposition and ridicule by the
Koresh, which is the Macan periods summary.
And
the style of the surah suggests that it's McCann, but there are a
few opinions that are part of it. Or some say even all of it may
have been revealed in Medina, this is just a difference of opinion.
But the majority say it's a concert.
And
it has been called the bride of the
young ladies, Why would something when you say something is the
bride, what does it bring to your mind?
I don't want you to imagine that you are a bride. You're too young
for that. But what does it mean?
A bride means there is a celebration, somebody is getting
married. And who is the center of attraction who is the most
beautiful, most decorated in that whole gathering?
The bride, not the bridegroom, right? The bride. So this is one
way of saying that this is such a beautiful Surah
it's like the bride of the Quran
and the name of the surah as you know starts is a rock man. And
that is derived from the first of 78 Iots that is what this surah is
now
Bismillah R Rahman Rahim Allah we live in a shape on rajim Bismillah
R Rahman r Rahim Allah subhanaw taala starts the surah
All right.
Stop.
Stop.
In English grammar we have what's called subject and predicate
something. The subject predicate means something about them the
news
there is a subject here or Rockman.
And nothing after that. So what does that do? This is the style
that Allah subhanaw taala uses, because when everybody hears that,
all right, man, then you pay attention. What?
What are we saying about our ramen?
But it pauses
the rest of the surah is the predicate is the news of who our
rock man is. And what a rush man is.
All the rest of the surah can come under that
tells us about our right man.
So the first question is,
what does a man mean to you? Let's ask,
what does it mean to our host?
Rob My name is
Allah is merciful
when I reflect upon a red man I reflect upon, there was two names
historically mentioned about himself was a rare mind And alas,
desert.
So there are specific names of Allah, which are independent of
everything else, and no one else can be named.
That the two names are what?
Hola.
And Alright, man. So this is actually the VAT The being of
Allah Spanish.
And we can go over what it implies and what it means. As we know we
start every Surah with Bismillah in the name of AR Rahman. And
Rahim two names or Han is also a name of Allah is a name of Allah,
but doesn't have the same level as a rush man.
So
our Rockman in its Arabic form is what's called Sea of atoll mobile
lava means a hyperbole means something in its exaggerated form.
To do with Russia, Russia means what Rama means to have
compassion,
to care, to have mercy,
to love, to care to take all of those encompassed in the word
Rama, it is not just mercy, because in the English language,
Mercy just means you're going to punish somebody but you showed
mercy. It is more than that. Okay?
Allahu Akbar Allah.
So the word or Rockman has to do with the absolute drachma of Allah
subhanaw taala. It is an exhibition of his grace and it's a
unique name of Allah subhanaw taala. In its most intense and
superlative, in other words, if you could imagine a Rama could be
put in a bowl, it would be overflowing, endless rackmount.
That is the Mercy, the love, the caring of Allah, subhanaw taala
and the source of all of that,
man, that's where all of the Rama that you see in the world comes
from,
from Allah. There is actually a hadith about this. The Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam said
that, Allah subhanaw taala is Rama and this is an example has 100
parts.
And one part
of that drama is all the drama the mercy that you see in the world.
Human beings, gins animals, everyone that is showing mercy to
the little ones to others, all that mercy that you see in the
world is like one part of Allah has Rama and he has kept 99 to
himself, in a way. Even that is an example because Allah Zuma is not
99 to one, it's infinite.
But it's just to make us understand that.
So this word, are Rockman in its form, the way it is, is a specific
name of Allah subhanaw taala. And everyone else who names themselves
has to name themselves as Abdul Rahman or ama tool or man,
whatever. But you can say rock man and you can have a man as a last
name. Okay? It has to be Abdul Rahman because this is Allah.
Allah and just like nobody's going to name themselves Allah. They
will say Abdullah
or something like that.
Alone.
So as we say, it is part of his being Allah
Renata says in the Quran, Allah, Allah, a widow or rock man,
say oh Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam invoke call Allah or call
him a rough man. See ya allah Yara
a young man or fella who is smart when either of those any he has,
To Him belongs the most beautiful names, but these are specific
names.
And this man does not have a plural, because it's absolute in
itself, it does not have a doer
no to.
So,
Rama also has another term that is linked with it, which is called in
Arabic ROM. Anybody know what Rama is in Arabic.
the womb of the mother, the uterus, their stomach is not
stomach, the womb of the mother.
That Allah subhanaw taala has connected the womb of the mother
with Rama with his name.
Now if you think what does the womb provide
nutritional sanctity, it provides nutrition and
safety generations.
It provides an environment for growth, for development,
nutrition, comfort, safety, protection, even music is playing
in their home, you know what music is playing, what they're hearing
the heartbeat of the mother.
And that gives them comfort.
Because they can see what they can hear.
Okay.
So
around the world, imagine creating an environment that allows you to
grow to your maximum capacity to your best potential.
So Aurash man provides us everything we need, not just in
the RAM, but outside of their home,
to be
and to reach our best potential as the best of his creation. Human
beings
will take a little aside
the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam said
that ram the womb, Allah gave him the ability to speak in a way in
his way
complained to Allah Spanner
that you have connected me with to you by by your name.
But there are people who don't maintain the ties of their home,
you know what the ties of the Rahama family ties, brothers and
sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews.
So Allah subhanaw taala satisfied the lamb by saying that I will
join with those who joined the ties of the ham, and I will cut
off from those who cut off ties of the Lamb. What does that mean?
It is an obligation for us to remain connected with our family
members.
And it's very important living in this environment where nobody
knows anybody.
I see people who have five children living in the area when
did you see your last which see your child last I haven't seen
anyone in three years.
This is cutting off from the Russian
something happens we argue with a sibling or a cousin and we say I
will never talk to you again. You've cut off with them. They
imagine if Allah cut off from us because of that.
So just remember, this is just on the side that one of our
fundamental duties is to keep connected with our families.
Now all of the i arts end with a certain pattern in this
surah
what is that pattern
and the word when you add on too many things, it gives it to dual
form. In Arabic we have singular, plural and dual which we don't
have for two
okay. So when Allah subhanaw taala says in this ayah there is an
idea, which is repeated over and over and over again in the Surah
for a special purpose. What is that?
Jaya
Furby aka
Arabic Kuma to cut the ban.
What is the real translation of this?
Now you missed the point, the word you in English means singular. It
also means plural.
But what does
Rob
call map?
Which of the favours of the Lord? Do you to deny?
That's the correct meaning, both of you deny to who are the boats
that are being addressed in this sort of managing the two creations
of Allah, mankind and jinn kind. Why are they being addressed?
Because they are the only two creations who took a choice
to obey and disobey
the only two that will be judged on the Day of Judgment. Okay.
So every time you hear this, Allah is addressing it in dual form.
Okay, so just remember that
and of course, it makes it sound very melodious, because it all
rhymes beautifully.
