Then Allah subhanaw taala talks about this person who lived like
that, who is now in Ghana.
In no Ghana vi li masura Summit. Indeed he used to also return to
his family go to his family very joyously. Now Allah subhanaw taala
before talked about the believers in the hereafter joining the
families here is talking about the believers. Here, the disbelievers,
the disobedient, he used to live joyfully amongst his family,
heedlessly in a cell in a sort of false sense of success,
insecurity.
A feeling convinced that he had achieved happiness and he was free
to do anything while pursuing every whim and fulfilling every
desire with his family, give them whatever they want. Let me do
whatever indulge in this dunya This is how we lived. Why, in who
than a nine year old, because indeed he Ven, he thought he was
convinced that learn laying your whole there will never be your
whole return. Power means to return. Return to his Lord. He
didn't believe that he was going back.
He thought that this life is an endless joy. He can do whatever he
wants, this was his attitude.
Then Allah subhanaw taala says Bala
in a rock bowl cannot be Heba Sierra. No, to the contrary, his
Lord be evil Sierra, you he was watching him, always watching
everything about him.
Everything around him, everything inside of him. every action, every
thought, every word, every intention, every desire, every
plan.
Even though the angels recorded it, the earth recorded the skies
recorded it the body parts recorded it. But most important,
even without those records, Allah was watching him. He was witnessed
over everything, always aware.
While he was not aware that Aurora creed was watching,
what do I learn from this, that I need to have reminders everywhere,
like sticky notes, or Rocky was watching you,
in my car, in my work in my room, everywhere, to like get into that
state of constant maraca by watching myself that Allah is
watching me.
Because if I get into that state,
I will never disappear.
Because I know Allah is watching me. This thought comes to me,
Allah knows it. So I get rid of it.
And we see examples of this in our lives. You're driving along
carelessly, on your cell phone, 75 miles, 95 miles, some people some
of you drive very fast, don't follow the speed limit. The moment
you see a police officer on the side, what happens? The cellphone
disappears, both hands on the steering seatbelt is on 65 miles
an hour, instantly.
Now if we had that awareness of Allah watching us, how beautiful
would drive be to him
as a soldier,
this is the end of the second segment. Now we go to the third
segment, which Allah subhanaw taala asked which has to do with
reminds us of the signs that Allah subhanaw taala reminds us he says,
Fela OpenSim be Shafique. Now these are oats as you know and
previous students the surah started with oats. Here there is a
variation that the earth comes in the middle of the surah Allah
subhanaw taala says no do all of those wrong ideas for Allah
opposite moon I swear be shut up. What is Shafique the Twilight, the
redness of the the horizon after sunset and some of the least last
few days last week there was a beautiful last Monday it was read
like anything many of you have taken pictures on or even shared.
That is the Shafique so Allah subhanaw taala is still telling us
that I swear by that red glow of the western horizon after sunset.
While Layli were Ma was sapper, and by the night and what it
envelops and in shrouds and what warmer means f
Everything that happens in the night that that the night covers.
It's not like everything just becomes dark. But everything that
goes it shrouds it in shrouds the objects, the creative beings that
we know and we don't know the creative events that are going on
in the night, the actions of people going on everything that
happens in the night Allah swears by the night and everything that
it covers
while Comrie in that circle
and I swear by the moon when it gathers together to become a full
moon.
So here Allah subhanaw taala is taking three notes
on his creation and these are cycles it will remind us of
something because the next if Allah scan for the job of this
custom letter kabuna debacle and tobacco
love Lamb of dark eat, surely what you insane and some there is
another interpretation that this is specifically telling the
Prophet sallallahu listen but let's first take incense
dark carbon per kabuna you will move forward
rocky by means to ride means you will right forward. taba can
unterberg stage after stage,
just imagine there is a journey, the horse delivers you from this
point A to point B, next horse takes you from point B to point C
and so on so forth. Allah subhanaw taala is telling us indeed I swear
by all of these creations, that you will also progress stage after
stage you have something coming ahead of you you are going to be
delivered from one to the other.
Such as, from your conception to your birth, from your birth to
becoming an infant infant who is walking and talking to one who is
now school going to one is grown in strength to one who is now
earning a living to one who is now having their own family to one who
has now reached middle age to one who reaches an old age and to one
who reaches enfeeblement and sibility. Tell Allah subhanaw
taala says and those whom we permit to get to that long enough,
live long enough, you will become as dependent and as helpless. As
when you were a baby.
You will need to be fed you will need to be changed, you will need
to be walked you will need to be turned just like a baby.
This is the destined journey of life that no one escapes or
overturns, no matter how you fight it, you can be on your peloton
24/7 You are going down
it is in stages that are life goes
what is the relevance with those oats that last mentioned the cycle
of the Sun
sunrise comes to a zenith and sunsets and what is remaining of
this that there was a sun, the shutter up.
Similarly, the night when it gathers, it starts, you could
still see that it becomes so dark that nothing is visible. And then
the next dawn comes it disappears. And similarly the moon, it starts
with a little sliver, a crescent and then becomes full
and then starts to go and then disappears again. Everything is in
cycles Allah is reminding us of these signs, that your life is
also a cycle.
cycle of life where you will have light and darkness in your life,
you will have cycles of happiness and sadness, of health and
sickness of being a child to being a parent
and so on so forth.
And nothing stops.
We will keep moving stage after stage. You can also take this as a
stage from when Allah created our Arwa our souls and took the notes
of of acknowledgement of history head.
And then that next stage we came into the wounds of our mothers the
soul was buried at four months. And then
we came here and then we go into the graves in the realm of the
earth to the day of judgment stage after stage.
And then there is the day of judgment and there are two
destinations that
Final stage only to destination Jana.
Now those who said this is addressed to the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi salam also talking about the stages of how he
was born as an orphan, and then how he grew up and how Allah
subhanaw taala enriched him how Allah mantle enabled him how Allah
subhanaw taala gave him prophet hood, how Allah subhanaw taala
permitted him to be subjected to, to ridicule and torture and this
and that, that he will go from there to become to start become a
statesman to establish a stage to establish the deen and to
establish the ultimate truth till the Day of Judgment, stage after
stage after stage.
Finally, on the Day of Judgment, the first one to be resurrected,
the first one to be honored the first the one who will carry the
flag of Hand of Allah on the Day of Judgment, stage after stage, to
be entered into for a dose Allah Allah Nakama machmood stages in
the life of a surah masala loveliness, Allah may Allah
subhanaw taala join us with him.
So
this is the destined journey that we have.
Then Allah Subhan Allah after telling us this is just to
reflect. Now he comes into the last part, which is like a
warning.
Allah subhanaw taala says
for my Allah whom live
then what is math? What is the matter with these people?
When they're called to Allah, they still lay up No, they do not
believe. They don't even it's so obvious. They don't believe in
Allah. They don't believe in his meeting. They don't believe in His
revelation. They don't believe in His messenger.
It's amazing. It's a it's a question of amazement. What's the
matter with them? It's amazing. It's so obvious.
The evidence the proofs are overwhelming, the logical the
experiential, you experience them they are obvious
that the place of Eman is the cult. So why doesn't the cult
accept it? Because the last one that tells us previously colorable
Rana Allah Kulu behind me, but their hearts are covered with an
impenetrable black veil as a result of their sinful behavior.
So no light can penetrate.
The light of truth cannot penetrate. Therefore they will not
believe they will not believe no matter what proofs are there, no
matter how obvious it is, that even if Allah to come down, they
would say this is magic.
So Allah subhanaw taala challenges us and desires to look at the
signs mentioned before. And look in the ayat of the Quran, which is
the other signs of Allah for proof for certainty of the truth for us
as believers.
And it's important for us to remember that when we stop
noticing the signs of Allah in the universe.
When we just take everything for granted, we don't notice anything.
We will start disconnecting from him as much.
Therefore it's important those of us with an urban lifestyle to go
out in nature
to see where things come from.
Otherwise you ask a child where does the
milk and egg come from? They say from Big Y from the grocery store.
Where does this happen? Because that's where they see it's coming
from. Go out in nature see the signs of Allah subhanaw taala
all of that is very important and to reflect on the ayat of the
Quran, which is the next IR last one Allah says what is the matter
that the don't see all of these signs outside? Not only that, what
either acorrea I lay him on Qur'an ly yesterday.
When either when Korea when it is recited, I lay in to them upon
them. And Quran the ayat of the Quran lie yes Judoon let's take
1/32 pause because this is off stage that let us do a search that
preferably facing the killer and then we'll be right back.
So Allah subhanaw taala is saying that when the IRS
of the Quran are recited to them, they do not fall down in such that
to acknowledge His Lordship and to worship him lovingly, in full
surrender, putting their most prized portion they face on the
ground in front of Him in humility.
Submitting in front of his word.
This is one of the Iots of the obsessional tilava in the Quran.
As most of you know, there are 15 and that most have agreed on and
some have said there are 14 because some take one surah had
some take two and we can talk about in the q&a about the fake of
says that the lava how to do it, when to do it. All of that we can
talk later. But let's finish this but Allah subhanaw taala saying
that when they hear these words, they are so powerful, they
understand it, what should be the response of a person have with any
heart of any natural remnant of the fitrah in them, they would
fall down in submission to Allah subhanaw taala in front of his
word that this is the word of Allah subhanaw taala by ladina
Cafaro you can be born but instead what do they do? These
disbelievers not only don't fall down submission in such that they
deny and they persistently reject the truth, the truth of the Quran,
the truth of the message of Allah the truth of the messenger
sallallahu alayhi salam, then they deny the account of Eman they deny
Allah they deny the revelations they deny the messenger they deny
the Day of Judgment they deny the Accra the Jana and the Hellfire
which they are going to see.
So, first
before that walau Allah Moon be my your own.
Yet Allah Allah Moon best knows
your own means what the hide of secrets inside them.
What they find, we hire we hire is a bag, you know, like we have in
Surah Yusuf on Monday. So our use of use of esalaam checks the bag
of his brother thumb, so much stuff, Roger, I mean, we are lucky
that it took out that that cup the goblet from his we have from his
bag. So Allah says what the bag of their hearts contains the secrets
that are inside. Allah best knows what they hide inside of their
secrets, the ills, the diseases, the plots. Allah knows everything
that denying all of this Yet Allah knows everything before he said,
behave of zero. He's watching any on the nose, eye level, bossy and
bossy when I lean to have the attributes of Allah subhanaw
taala.
So what is the consequence of what ALLAH knows and what they're
doing? For, as a consequence, though?
Bashir whom the other binnorie So then, Bashir, to whom, or
messenger of Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam, give them the glad
tidings. This is a sarcasm.
Give them the glad tidings of what that you're going to burn in *.
Bashir on, give them the tidings of what is coming ahead because of
what you do
endless suffering in the Hereafter.
This is the consequence then Allah subhanaw taala still out of his or
Rockman leaves the door open, Ill Alladhina amanu accept in spite of
all of that, except before you die. Am I know if you believe and
do good deeds? Ill Alladhina amanu accept those who believe and they
do good deeds.
For them there is ill Alladhina amanu aminu Salah had long as you
run away Roma, I'm known for them there is a reward agile, the hero
Mamnoon Mamnoon, something that can be cut off that can be
diminished, that can be stopped. This is an endless reward. Allah
subhanaw taala leaves that hope there that if a person who
believes
believes in the true sense and shows that belief by good deeds,
I'm on solid, prove it right good deeds,
you know, walk the talk. For them there is guaranteed guaranteed
viral Mamnoon that cannot be cut off that cannot end that will not
fail. That's never ending reward from the Lord, that no one can
take away or decrease. Compare that with the dunya. No matter how
much you have, what you have, how long you have had it. It is always
tainted with something you have fear about losing. You can get
sick then you don't enjoy. You are struggling to achieve it.
Sometimes there's a decline. Sometimes it causes stress and
finally even if none of that you expect
Since you had it, it ends anyway.
But the reward of the Hereafter is eater.
This is a Surah, about inevitability, inevitability of
the Day of Judgment and what is coming.
It is not a choice of if it is going to happen, or when it is
going to happen, but the choice of what you want your end to be how I
want my end to be. So, you and I decide
which way to live.
To determine which of the two endings we are going to have.
It is about consequences. In this life, we are bound to Allah
subhanaw taala as laws, we have freedom of choice, but we do not
have freedom from consequences of our choice.
We have freedom of choice, but we do not have freedom from
consequences of the choices we made. Every choice has a
consequence good or bad.
In the dunya, the believers are bound and restricted by his laws,
the Sharia, so we
we are bound by that and if we live by that,
we will be free from the negative consequences of his disobedience
in the Hereafter, your freedom,
the disbeliever and the sinner, the rebellious one.
He is free from Allah's laws in this dunya.
Do whatever you want.
But you will be imprisoned by the consequences of his disobedience
and action in the hereafter.
The sequence will be reversed. This is the meaning of the Hadith
of the Prophet sallallaahu Salam about a dunya sigil movement,
we're generally told Catholic, the dunya is like a prison for the
believer because he lives by laws restricted. It's not open to
whatever you want. And this agenda of the Catholic agenda means do
whatever you want. But the roles are reversed in the hereafter
their agenda for the believer and the surgeon of the character,
which is Jen.
So Allah subhanaw taala completes the surah. By tying the beginning
the two ends together. During the beginning of the Surah, which was
the beginning of the day of judgment, this is how it starts,
is the summer on shapcott. Here it starts and the end he brings with
the two ends the final destination, this is the end,
the end of the day of judgment, the final assignment to one of two
places in the hereafter.
25 brief is one page of the Quran
covers everything. If you didn't read any more of the Quran, and
you just obeyed this if I just obeyed this and took it to heart,
internalized it actualized it
it would lead to
the Yameen the Saba yesira
The adenoviral Mamnoon
What a beautiful way to live.
And the Jannah of the day the decision of the believer in this
dunya living like a prison has its own joys
of obedience.
When you fast the month of Ramadan Don't you feel happiness, when you
finish obey obeying Allah subhanaw taala with the salah Don't you
feel happy
when our brothers and sisters come back from aamra Unhatched on the
overjoyed
that prison of Allah is a blessing because it has his own joy in this
dunya which they do not know the disbelievers that's why some of
our Salah have said that if they knew what kind of joys we have
inside, they would fight us with their swords for it.
Some of them said you can put me in the prison but my Janna is in
my heart I'll still be injured.
So let us inshallah with toffee toffee from Allah subhanaw taala
internalize these actualize these in our lives and lead our lives in
a way that we are among the successful we and all of our
families. And that family early in the hereafter is not just a
genetic family, but also a family of believers.
All of us insha Allah who are on this Zoom meeting
as one family and all the Ummah is one family, we will meet
Inshallah, in the Hereafter with Joy's on our faces. May Allah
accept that and may Allah make it easy for us Subhanak Allahumma
