Now all of the i arts end with a certain pattern in this
surah
what is that pattern?
And
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 I am
Furby aka
Arabic Ummah, to cut the band,
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
that mean a ROB
Cool man,
which of the favors 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 surah 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.
The word for means, then, or, you know, something is mentioned then
says for means after mentioning Then
which of the favours the grace of your Lord, do both of you deny?
Allah, the word Allah means, favors, means grace, the bounty of
Allah subhanaw taala. And we are going to talk about those one by
one. Because all of this is
in a way leading back to what it started with Arash, man because
all of the Grace of Allah, all the bounty, all the love of Allah, are
because he is a rock man.
And Arash man is an all inclusive term, whereas our Rahim is a more
particularized like, Rahim Allah shows Rama to the believers. But
man's mercy is for everyone, every creature, including the
disbelievers,
including the ones who denied him, including the one who claimed and
Allah, I am Allah Who was that
surround Pharaoh, you know what you said, I am Allah I am God.
So, how can you say Allah had mercy on him or man had mercy?
What is the evidence that Allah had mercy on Iran?
Kingdom
kingdom he had, yes.
He had all the wealth, all the all the trappings of the dunya but
more than that,
the day said, I am Allah, Allah subhanaw taala could have snatched
him like that. finished him.
So it was his Rama that he gave him a long life. It was his Rama
that he sent Musala salaam to him again and again and again. To call
him to the truth with nine different signs nine different
times. That says to a one who's saying I'm God, otherwise, you
should have been like a fly, squatted out like that.
Even with your own Allah subhanaw taala because he is alright man.
So one day, it is narrated that the Prophet salallahu Alaihe
Salam, either himself was reciting or he had some of his companions
were reciting this
and others were listening.
And this idea kept being repeated. And they listened quiet like we
listened.
And then the Prophet said, Ally, listen, I'm saying, why is it
that I don't see any response from you?
You keep hearing this.
Why is it that the Jin's responded better than you and he's telling
this to his companions to the US hub? Because they were listening
to this for about a year. You're a big fan a
phobia, Uriel, capitalism, capitalism. The Prophet sallallahu
alayhi salam said that on the night of the jinn when I recited
the surah to the jinns
every time I said for a year, Allah Arabic humor to cut the
band, they responded. They didn't sit quietly. They said, levy shame
and Namaka Robina Luca de boo, follicle hunt. They said, None of
your favors, do we deny our Lord for you is all hammered. Every
time this game, they said we don't deny any of your favors, hummed.
In other words, they responded because this is such a thing Allah
saying you're denied.
To know we do not deny. It's an acknowledgement. It also tells us
that we should respond to the Quran. The Prophet sallallahu
Sallam used to when he was reciting the Quran, even in Salah.
He would respond to it for example, whenever an IR came of
the spear of Allah subhanaw taala, you sub definitely learn, he will
notice me. i As of hum the game he will do hand eye as of tech video
game of history of his Kibriya he would say Allahu Akbar i as off of
Jana, when he was reciting, he would ask for gin. When I as of
the fire, punishment would come up, he would seek a loss.
Protection from that, so we have to interact with the court.
So Allah subhanaw taala says are rough man we are everybody has
some idea of can we encompass this or Rockman?
No.
We can really talk about some things because it's limitless. Our
minds if we put all of our minds of all human beings, we still
can't encompass Allah's what around man is who our man is.
So Allah subhanaw taala says, All right, man, now you keep that in
your mind
that everything that's going to come is related to that.
So the first favor that Allah subhanaw taala described who our
man is, he says Allah ml for
halaman
He taught
the
I love
how is this immersive?
Jazz okay, I love it. That is the best knowledge because it is the
words of Allah Himself.
There is no greater
we will don't even want to say book but there are no greater
words than the words of Allah Himself.
There is no greater guidance and the guidance of Allah subhanaw
taala there is no greater law than the law of Allah subhanaw taala
which is all encompassed in Quran. The Quran tells you stories of the
past as lessons in a style that's unique. It tells you events of the
future that nobody can tell you. No, a soothsayer can tell you no
fortune teller. And he gives you pictures of those scenes that are
going to come
described in detail. That's the whole makes laws for you for your
protection and my protection so that we can lead good lives. So
the Quran is the summary of everything. Now suppose the Quran
was taken away? What would happen?
Think of your own life.
Somebody might say,
I could lead my life anyway. I want total freedom. Yes. No
guidance, no values, no virtues, do whatever you want. total chaos.
Can you imagine a world where there were no laws of any kind?
If you just shut all the lights off in the traffic circles, guess
what will happen? Just one thing and remove all the other laws.
You know, you can kill you can still you can do whatever you
want, who would have safety who would be alive, except the
criminals and guess what's going to happen?
One day Allah will lift the Quran
that's one of the last things before he destroys the dunya.
And when the Quran is lifted, it is the Hadith said it will even be
lifted from the pages but before that it will be lifted from the
hearts of people and those who had memorized will be taken by Allah.
No Quran exists. And then he said who will remain the worst of the
worst.
And on them, the piano would come
when the skies torn apart and orbits are gone and the stars and
the sun has lost its flight and the moon as well as and the
mountains are in Smithereens and the oceans are boiled over all of
that. Everything is exploding. Quran is taken away.
So if the Quran is taken away from my heart,
which is like a piano has come to me
that's how much we should value the Quran.
Quran
he taught the Quran does teach you the Quran
did he teach you the Quran?
He says he does.
How?
Let me hear from someone else.
Through the prophets, Allah, Allah Aeneas and
we just started with that introduction. He sent the script
and the walking example of the Quran. So yeah, Donna Rasool allah
sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam
who taught you the Quran? He was taught by Allah, directly and
through Jibreel La Silla.
over 23 years. He didn't send it as a book. Can you imagine if
you're given the whole book at one time, what it would be like,
gradually? What does that tell us? That we should also learn the
Quran gradually, but progressively, we can also learn
it. Can we learn it in 23 years? It's well
yes, we can. If we still have 23 years left, those who don't like
myself need to put it on fast forward a little bit, right. We
have wasted our lives many of us, we don't know except the bulk of
the upper hand on the top shelf. I don't know if it's on the top
shelf. Yes, I see one of
the Quran should not be on the shelves.
Remember, board meetings they say let's shelve this idea. Let's put
it away for later. The Quran should never be shelved. It should
always be open.
In our hands, in our minds and especially in our hearts.
So, Allah subhanaw taala made all the arrangements to bring this
Quran this ultimate guidance to us through sayonara Surah, Allah
Allah who taught it and Allah subhanaw taala preserved the Quran
as he says known as the cry when
we know not know
what is the idea that we have national in an
era
where international law has gone
okay, the indeed We have revealed it and we will protect it. And he
protected the understanding of the Quran as Rasulullah sallallahu has
taught us so it's not open to my knifes the way I want to see it
the way I want to interpret it fitted in my life and change
things. Okay? Because the way I like it make my life more
comfortable. It was explained to us and it was preserved and it has
come to us and it is now taught to us through our teachers.
This is all part of that. Allah Quran that this is an ongoing
favor, that every generation is taught the Quran that Allah is
teaching every generation the Quran by making that provision.
It's after this great favor.
Unless one goes to the next idea, he says,
highlight palette insert, he alone created insert.
He alone created insert. That means your creation
came after the Quran existed
before the Quran existed in the love of my food, okay in that
guarded tablet that we don't know anything about except its name.
And then Allah subhanaw taala sent it down as we needed according to
our needs,
follow up call in sand. This is another description of our Rockman
his his favor that she created you.
What is the favor, he says?
Hello, Paul in Santa Fe, I set up when we created you in the best
form. Allah subhanaw taala has praised the human being as the
best of his creation. So isn't that a favor of Arash man on us?
Now, you can reflect on each of these.
What went into that creation
of other Melissa, that we don't know that she created that will
come. But what we know of creation is what
we have one cell from the mother, one cell from the Father to
invisible cells that we can't even see they come together.
And we're seeing the product sitting here.
What it took, what processes it took, what forms it took, what it
has produced in different parts of our bodies, there's a brain
there's a heart there is a liver, there's the lungs, there's limbs,
there's the ears, there's the eyes from those single cells, which
differentiate into so many things.
Can you imagine if you had an orange and the orange was
transformed into the world?
How can orange become a word? How did we more complicated the earth
come from a little cell?
Or rash man?
So what I want you to do when you go home, the whole assignment is
that for each one of these reflect on the blessing of the Quran,
reflect on what it took for it to come to us.
Through the heavens, what changes what the angels went through? The
Quran is coming.
What gates were opened, you know
what black holes you know, what wormholes in the heavens through
which the Quran came, we have no idea it came
and how it was preserved.
And then reflect and this is easier to reflect because this is
in the seen world, color palette in the sun, how we are created.
Even those who haven't studied science can read in Google.
The creation of human beings
is there
