salam ala Sayidina Muhammad
fil Mala Allah, Allah yummy Dean. I mean,
my dear brothers and sisters, we started
to study together Surah Rahman last time, which is about three
weeks ago. And I believe we covered the first six is
so in summary, as you remember, Surah AR Rahman is,
can be summarized as a manifestation of the Rockman of
Allah subhanaw taala,
about the quality of Rama and it is not about the general quality
of Rama, but it is the Rama of Allah subhanaw taala himself. And
it is summarized in the first iron, which is
our raw man,
the source of all Rama, the ultimate of all Rama, which is the
merciful love of Allah subhanaw taala.
And the rest of the surah you could say is details or an
explanation of bar a description of aroma.
So we talked about that this is unique in that Allah's name is the
entire first
and that this surah
reminds us, Allah subhanaw taala reminds us through the surah of
some of his blessing some of his some of his namah His blessings
and His favors.
And of course, it's not comprehensive in the sense that it
mentions every favor because you could take all the inks in the
ocean, and all the trees could become pens and you could not
still compile the favorites of Allah subhanaw taala.
So Allah subhanaw taala brings our focus by reminding us about some
major things, starting with Allah subhanaw taala says, a lemon or an
that he taught you the Quran which is the ultimate of Allah subhanaw
taala as blessing because it is only through the Quran, that we
can know Allah subhanaw taala It is only through the Quran that we
can succeed in our lives in the dunya and after. Hereafter and
it's only through the Quran that we can approach Allah subhanaw
taala and obey Him and worship him as he wants. So, we must remember
that the one of the greatest favor is that Allah has given us hedaya
He has given us guidance, He has taught us the way to get back to
Allah subhanaw taala to get back to our home in Jana, from where we
came.
So Allah smart Allah puts that as the first ayah Allah man Quran
halacha insert and then he says, that He created us, I love our
whole band and he gave us taught us communication
began to understand to explain to make things clearer to communicate
like no other office creature creation can, that the language
skills and the skills of communications have been perfected
in this one creation of Allah subhanaw taala that we can
understand and communicate in 1000s of languages, the most
complex of thoughts
and then Allah subhanaw taala reminds us of the universe by
talking about the sun and the moon and how he created them. For us
and here it's we must remember that it's not like these things
were created. And then we just took advantage of them. Allah
subhanaw taala created all of this
For us, before creating assay created all of this, and it was
custom created for us, it isn't like Allah created for the
universe, and then he just put men in there. Okay, you can also enjoy
what I have created, there was specifically created for us. And
we talked about what the sun does what why is the sun such a
blessing. And if we just think at a superficial level, we will say,
well, it gives us light, it gives us heat, it makes the trees green.
But it's if you really go into the science of the sun, there is
hundreds and 1000s of things that come out as a result of creation
of the sun that we take advantage of.
Some that we know, like vitamin D, that we know now that they didn't
know them, and so on so forth. If the sun was in there, if the light
of the sun is taken away, there will be no
light, and there will be no life.
Similarly, the moon, which is just little satellite that's rotating
around the Earth, and we know it to say, well, we have it's a nice,
beautiful night. And we, when we are in love, we compare our
sweethearts to the full moon, and all of that, but it's much more
than that. It has to do with the tides and what happens in the
oceans, it has to do with the keeping of the months that we
didn't know that we can worship Allah subhanaw taala in Ramadan
and could perform Hajj at the right time and so on so forth. And
not only that, Allah subhanaw taala project a tilt between the
orbits of the, of the Sun of the earth and, and the the moon of 5.1
degree.
And that makes all the difference. If it wasn't all of the phenomenon
that you see, would not take place. So it's such a precise
system. And then you have this just two or three items, the
earth, the moon and the sun that I mentioned, just in this solar
system, and then the galaxies and you have billions of galaxies that
are created that you look at the North Star and you look at the Big
Dipper and the last small Dipper and you can navigate at night
through the oceans without any navigation system that people have
done forever. Okay, all of that are there and yet the mover in at
such tremendous speeds, but they're not colliding with each
other all of this is going on for people to understand that there is
this super system running as a favor of Allah subhanaw taala. And
then we and this is just briefly recapping this because if we can,
we can spend the whole session just on one higher if we go into
the details of it and then Allah subhanaw taala said one Nigel was
shedule yesterday and that you talked about the the stars and the
trees that they prostrate themselves to Allah subhanaw
taala. And we said one interpretation of Nigeria is the
plants that don't have the thick trunk, okay.
In other words, whatever is in the heavens, which is the stars and
swans, and whatever is on the earth,
they prostrate they do search that will last one time they do test be
of Allah subhanaw taala as Allah subhanaw taala says every creature
is an omen, it's an it's an, it's an aroma of itself, like the aroma
of the ends of the bird zoom of the fish. And they are all in
Tasbeeh of Alaska and they know their Lord and they praise the
Lord continuously. The trees, the rocks.
And we saw that miracle that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam
had some stone, some pebbles rocks in his hand.
And the Sahaba heard what
that must be from the rocks.
So what was the miracle?
The miracle is not that the stones were doing the speed they do that.
Anyway.
The miracle was that the Sahaba were able to Allah made them able
to do that. Okay, so everything is industry submission on Allah
Swanton, he has not just saying, trust me, he's saying
yesterday,
yesterday on Sajida what does that mean to all of you or any of you?
What does that mean to an
observation, submission? False submission. Okay. Means and as we
are taught when we are in such that we are closest to Allah
subhanaw taala. So now take a look at it this way, when I'm in such
that
I am claiming to Allah subhanaw taala that I submit to your will
completely
and now I'm admitting this when I am closest to you which is in such
that right now
Now, if I claim that and then I go in disobey Allah, I know, this is
what Allah ordered, and I don't do it. What does that make me?
That even in my search that I am lying to rabbil aalameen, I'm
closest to you, and I'm still lying to you that I submit when I
have not submitted
that I know you told me don't do this, and I'm still doing it. You
told me to do this, and I'm still not doing it. And yet I claim that
I submit
this is something to reflect on.
Something to reflect on. This is very serious. In other words, five
times say, if we just do the fried 17 raka
34 search does 34 times a day I lie to Allah Subhan
Allah I'm claiming and you to one who already knows what's inside me
and what I'm doing.
So this should open our eyes, our minds and our hearts. Yeah, Allah.
I do Toba to you starting right now. And I will lead my life in
obedience in full submission. I cannot say that I'm going to do
this when I retire that I'm going to be good when I do this. I'm
going to be good. Once I've done Hajj.
I'm going to obey you after such and such.
Submission means
Samana Altana. We heard we cannot claw a claim ignorance the Allied
did not know
that this is wrong.
I did not know that Salah was not felt.
I didn't know that such and such thing was not commanded by you.
Yet I claimed I did, but I did not.
So this is something that we all need to reflect on. Yes. Well, my
reflection is you guys, human beings, we submit, we want to do
but sometimes we make mistakes. It's not an intent
to do
omission or commission. And it is not our intent. If we do it,
that's why we do it all the time. I didn't know that. So there's a
degree of so that is something that is something different. We're
talking about someone who knowingly and persistently does
not do something that they're supposed to do, or do something
that they are not supposed to do. If you have a lapse here and
there. We are all many other, that's a different thing.
But if you are persisting on doing something,
okay, it's not like you had a slip one time.
Or your person is persistent or not doing something.
You were very busy. You looked especially in the winter time
after time had gone, okay, that's a different situation.
But I say well,
this five times Salah is impractical,
especially in the West, and that was 1400 years ago. I Allah is in
my heart. When I come home at night, I can communicate with
them. I'll do all my salons at that time. And I do that as a
habit.
Okay, that's different. So just to point that, so inshallah we will
start from there. That's where we had finished last time.
Any other questions or comments before we start
holding him in a shape on the regime was rough, Ah ha, well,
what I need then Allah subhanaw taala says, and the heavens the
summer, we can use the word skies if you will, frequently translated
as heavens, but sometimes people confuse heaven with Jannah
paradise is a difference. Okay? So we have seven summer wet and we
have Genma beyond that. So if you call them skies, you could call
them heaven, seven heavens. And then there is paradise paradise is
different than this. Okay? What you see in the universe to have
stars and planets and galaxies. This is in the summer on Earth,
which is the first heavens of first skies, and there are seven
of them, each one
unbelievably beggar what is the comparison the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi salam told us after he had come back from his miraculous
journey, he said, everything that you see this is some of the new
okay, this is level one in first grade. And he said this first
heaven compared to the second heaven as he gave an example
anybody remember?
halacha it's a ring.
The size of a ring thrown into an
open desert that is the comparison of the first time and to the
second and then you said the comparison of the second to the
third is like a ring in the desert so just imagine multiply all and
then you said the seventh heaven compared to the Arsh not compared
to the Cusi is like a ring in the desert. This tells you the
creation and how vast it is and what little we know what we see.
Scientists tell us 14 point 2 billion light years across so 14
point 2 billion multiplied by the speed of light by you know that
will give you a what is the know next universe and that's expanding
still hasn't come to a halt and then in start to contract at some
point. So Allah subhanaw taala saying we're rough he raised was
Samara, Rafa, Rafa, he elevated it so you don't see like you have a
chant like a shammy. Anna, you see something caving in here,
elsewhere in Surah, Surah mulk, that most of you read at night in
sha Allah, Allah smart Allah says, look in the heavens, and see if
you can find fortunate, find a defect in it. And he said, look,
again, correct. And again,
when Khalid Masaru, your eyes will return with fatigue, and you will
not find any flaws in it. And this is just what we see. Now. They're
talking about gates in there. They're talking about black holes,
and they're talking about so many things that we have no clue of,
that Allah smart Allah has mentioned he's talked about above
was Samoa gates. Okay. Which we don't know about. So Allah Swanton
has created telling us look around what was created for you, because
he tells us elsewhere in the Quran that I created all of this, to
serve you. And I created you
to serve me, and you can't really serve me because I don't need to
be served, but to worship Me and recognize me and do what I asked
you to do. If I tell you to do this, you do this. That's all it
is.
Well, what I mean, then MISA and everybody knows the balance. So
Allah says He set the balance.
Now, what does that balance mean to you?
Something to reflect about? What what is the balance you're
thinking of?
is the scale of justice with justice, divine justice, divine
justice? Absolutely, that everything that Allah created is
with justice. And Allah deals with everybody with justice because he
is an adult.
But that's for himself. Is there any other justice to be done?
By us, and that we do as his Khalifa as his representative on
birth? Every Joomla the brothers go for Joomla and the Hawaiians
with in Allah. Yeah, Morocco. Bill ugly.
Allah Indeed, Allah orders you justice every Friday, we are this.
Right? And then you go in the parking lot, and you see how
unjustly people have parked their cars.
Right? Before before that, just go to the shoe rack, if you're lucky,
you will not trip over somebody's shoes and fall over.
Where is the justice?
You know, what justice means? Justice model versus the opposite
of justice injustice, which is called a volume.
Justice means to give everything its do put every use everything
the way it is meant to be put everything where it should be,
including your shoes.
I suppose all of us had come here and being a little silly. And
everyone said, Okay, take your shoes off. I haven't even put the
shoes on top of their heads. Would that be justice? That's injustice.
This is meant to be on the head shoes are meant to be on the feet.
Okay, so Allah commands us justice. He is just nobody's going
to question and why you just, but Allah commands us to be just.
So this balance is that of justice. Now, what is justice?
In our daily lives? Suppose I have a young son, and I prove to him
that I am in charge. I am the father. I will do what I want and
I want you to do whatever I want, whether it's just or unjust. Do
you think there's justice? Because you're smaller and I'm bigger. But
if that's my justice, just remember whenever injustice is
done, it comes back.
So then you'll hear when you are old and he's strong. He will treat
you the same way.
Everything that we do that deviates from justice will have an
impact as
consequences.
Everything has to be used the way give you an example from the top
vein, which is this second generation after the Prophet
sallallahu lism. It's a well known Tabby story that he the stabby had
or the hola one had memorized the Quran and he himself says that one
day for a few minutes, I did not guard my eyes.
Got the buzzer what I should have done.
I was looking at someone in a certain way that I should not. And
that night I told myself, he said, You will pay for this
at some point and he said we'll live 40 years later
I forgot.
Then I remembered, you know why you forgot to perhaps because of
that one injustice that I had done now different people at different
levels.
But whatever we do,
we will see the results of it either immediately
or later. And we may not even link the two together.
