Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Bismillah

00:00:08 --> 00:00:14

Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah while Allahi wa

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

Sahbihi women Wada,

00:00:16 --> 00:00:21

Allahumma Zina Elma wa ala to the Illumina Data Hub Lana Mila

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

dhankar In can tell when

00:00:26 --> 00:00:30

we ask Allah subhanaw taala to open our hearts to his

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

remembrance,

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

and to accept this gathering

00:00:37 --> 00:00:45

from us, and make it purely for his sake, email loss of Hannah

00:00:45 --> 00:00:45

Tala.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:52

Help us to internalize what we hear, and what we study together

00:00:53 --> 00:00:58

of the second part of Surah Al Mulk that we started

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

last time two weeks ago.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:07

So just to recap briefly, we started Surah mulk, very special

00:01:07 --> 00:01:14

Surah that will intercede in the grave and protect from punishment

00:01:14 --> 00:01:18

of the grave that will intercede on the Day of Judgment till the

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19

person

00:01:20 --> 00:01:25

enters Jannah and it is a special Surah that the Prophet salallahu

00:01:25 --> 00:01:29

alayhi salam used to recite every night according to some

00:01:29 --> 00:01:34

narrations, and that you wished that all of his ummah would carry

00:01:34 --> 00:01:41

it in their hearts. And as we said, the surah first started with

00:01:43 --> 00:01:47

the Most Blessed is the Barak Allah wa the hill milk, the one

00:01:47 --> 00:01:51

who has the Dominion, which is Allah subhanaw taala. And that he

00:01:51 --> 00:01:55

is an absolute and complete control of everything, that He is

00:01:55 --> 00:01:59

the One who created life and death, to see who is the best of

00:01:59 --> 00:02:04

actions. And he tells us to reflect on the heavens that he

00:02:04 --> 00:02:08

created the seven heavens, and that we should reflect and find

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12

any any fault with that and we wouldn't, we would bet get

00:02:12 --> 00:02:17

fatigued. And he tells us that you decorated the lowest heavens with

00:02:17 --> 00:02:24

the stars, which are also used besides beautification for chasing

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27

away the shouting, will try and reach beyond what they're

00:02:27 --> 00:02:33

permitted. And also, as we learned as a guide for the travelers that

00:02:33 --> 00:02:33

night.

00:02:34 --> 00:02:39

And then Allah subhanaw taala tells us about the people who

00:02:39 --> 00:02:44

disobey Allah subhanaw taala that Allah subhanaw taala has created

00:02:44 --> 00:02:47

the Hellfire for them the punishment of the Hellfire

00:02:47 --> 00:02:54

mentioned quite vividly in multiple Iots about the sound that

00:02:54 --> 00:03:00

the Hellfire will will make and it will be ready to burst out just

00:03:00 --> 00:03:05

like fuel is being thrown into the fire because the fuel of the

00:03:05 --> 00:03:09

Hellfire is men and stones as Allah subhanaw taala says that it

00:03:09 --> 00:03:14

will be burning with fury. And as the keepers the angels who got it,

00:03:14 --> 00:03:18

keep throwing crowds of people in there, they will ask them didn't

00:03:19 --> 00:03:23

want to come to you? And they will say yes, he came and they will

00:03:23 --> 00:03:26

acknowledge it and then they will say

00:03:28 --> 00:03:32

we said that you know you're a liar and we denied them. And then

00:03:32 --> 00:03:35

they will show their regret. They said if we had used our minds if

00:03:35 --> 00:03:39

we had used our intellect, we would not be in this predicament

00:03:39 --> 00:03:45

of the hellfire and they will confess their crimes. So Allah

00:03:45 --> 00:03:48

smart Allah gives us that scene and then he gives us the opposite

00:03:48 --> 00:03:54

scene where he says and those who have reverence or and fear of loss

00:03:54 --> 00:03:57

mannitol and standing who have that European that they will stand

00:03:57 --> 00:04:02

in front of Allah subhanaw taala for them Allah subhanaw taala has

00:04:02 --> 00:04:10

forgiveness and a journey can be a great reward. So that is the end

00:04:10 --> 00:04:17

of iron number 12 that we covered last week. So with that brief

00:04:18 --> 00:04:24

recap inshallah we will start with iron number 13. And now the ideas

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

that are coming our IRS where we need to reflect

00:04:29 --> 00:04:32

and ultimately lay him in a shape on your regime. Last one Allah

00:04:32 --> 00:04:38

says what a serial Coleco a which has to be in Hua Halim b that is

00:04:38 --> 00:04:45

sudo Allah subhanaw taala says, what a serial Colaco and if you

00:04:45 --> 00:04:50

make secret what you say your words are weird you have to be or

00:04:50 --> 00:04:55

you are Jeff, you are loud and apparent with them. In other

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

words, whatever you want to say whether it's secret

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

He said or loudly said in who I leave them with that the sudo

00:05:05 --> 00:05:11

Allah subhanaw taala indeed he knows even what is inside your

00:05:11 --> 00:05:16

hearts. So whether you try and hide it, there is nothing hidden.

00:05:17 --> 00:05:21

There is nothing secret from Allah subhanaw taala because he not only

00:05:21 --> 00:05:26

knows what you have said, but he also knows what's in your heart,

00:05:26 --> 00:05:30

what you are thinking what you have not even expressed by your

00:05:30 --> 00:05:34

words. So he knows your intentions, He knows your plans,

00:05:34 --> 00:05:40

He knows your thoughts, what is within the chest, everything is

00:05:40 --> 00:05:43

fully known to him, it's like an open book, and he knows it better

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

than we know ourselves.

00:05:47 --> 00:05:52

So Allah subhanaw taala tells us in this ayah it's sort of a

00:05:52 --> 00:05:57

challenge, that no matter what you do, what you say or think, it is

00:05:57 --> 00:06:01

not a secret from Allah subhanaw taala therefore, what should that

00:06:01 --> 00:06:06

do to you? Therefore, logically, if you know that, and you believe

00:06:06 --> 00:06:12

in that, then you should make the right choices at all times. In all

00:06:12 --> 00:06:17

places, you know, under all circumstances, in your thoughts,

00:06:17 --> 00:06:21

your thoughts should be righteous, your words should be righteous,

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

your actions should be righteous because

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28

Allah subhanaw taala knows all of it. So if you're a thinking

00:06:28 --> 00:06:33

intelligent person, make the right choices. Then Allah subhanaw taala

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

says in the next ayah

00:06:36 --> 00:06:41

Allah Ya Allah Moo man Holika will who will not the full Hubby, Allah

00:06:41 --> 00:06:48

subhanaw taala asks a question. Allah Allah. Does he not know who

00:06:48 --> 00:06:52

mon halacha the One who created Does he not know his creation?

00:06:54 --> 00:06:58

I mean, we know if you if you make something, you are the best in

00:06:58 --> 00:07:01

control of your you know, everything of its details if you

00:07:01 --> 00:07:05

are an engineer, if you're an architect, so Allah created

00:07:05 --> 00:07:10

everything, don't you think? Isn't it so obvious that he knows the

00:07:10 --> 00:07:14

details of everything of who he created, what he created? What

00:07:14 --> 00:07:14

what?

00:07:17 --> 00:07:25

One halacha Well, one latte for hubby. And he is is a Latif

00:07:27 --> 00:07:35

Latif is one of the special names of Allah subhanaw taala, which has

00:07:35 --> 00:07:41

multiple shades of meanings. It is translated most often in the

00:07:41 --> 00:07:44

English language as subtle, which doesn't mean much, which means

00:07:44 --> 00:07:50

something that's hard to perceive. So Latif is also soft. Latif is

00:07:50 --> 00:07:58

also generous. Latif is also merciful, one who watches over

00:07:58 --> 00:08:04

every detail. He's detail oriented, he shows his mercy in

00:08:04 --> 00:08:07

the minute test affairs of your life.

00:08:08 --> 00:08:09

That's a Lateef

00:08:10 --> 00:08:14

that when He shows His mercy, it may be so imperceptible so subtle

00:08:14 --> 00:08:17

that you don't even notice that this is our law.

00:08:19 --> 00:08:20

So he is Latif

00:08:22 --> 00:08:25

a lot, if a hobby,

00:08:26 --> 00:08:30

hobby, one who was informed of everything, again, highlighting

00:08:30 --> 00:08:34

what came before that he knows even what is within you.

00:08:35 --> 00:08:42

So he Allah subhanaw taala is taking care of every need of yours

00:08:43 --> 00:08:43

of mine.

00:08:45 --> 00:08:51

With his not with his merciful benevolence,

00:08:52 --> 00:08:56

yet he is doing it from behind the scenes

00:08:58 --> 00:09:03

that you don't see it obviously, because he is doing it from behind

00:09:03 --> 00:09:08

the veil, the curtain of as Bob of means, we see things happening,

00:09:09 --> 00:09:13

but we don't know who is behind. Inshallah we know who is behind,

00:09:13 --> 00:09:14

but we don't see it.

00:09:16 --> 00:09:20

So these two Ayat are speaking as you know, two groups were

00:09:20 --> 00:09:24

mentioned those who reject and those who are shown or have been

00:09:24 --> 00:09:27

built by those who are afraid of Allah subhanaw taala who have

00:09:27 --> 00:09:32

Reverend or that these two Iots are speaking to both group of

00:09:32 --> 00:09:39

people, one that are being warned, who are under Invar warning, the

00:09:39 --> 00:09:43

one who are prone to make bad choices they are being worn by

00:09:43 --> 00:09:50

this that he knows and also the ones who have fear of him. The

00:09:50 --> 00:09:56

people of Tom shields Bashara they are being made aware that Allah

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

knows that you are making the right choices.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:05

And therefore, your outcome is going to be a good outcome. It's

00:10:05 --> 00:10:09

going to be Allah subhanaw taala as pleasure. So both groups are

00:10:09 --> 00:10:16

being warned and given Glad Tidings to these two pilots. Next

00:10:16 --> 00:10:21

Allah subhanaw taala says, Who will let the janela comin out of

00:10:21 --> 00:10:26

the balloon and functional fee monarchy ba ba, ba Kulu Mariska he

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28

will la Hindu Chu

00:10:30 --> 00:10:37

who will lead the he is the one Jalla lac whom will balloon the

00:10:37 --> 00:10:42

grammatical structure here altered to specify that he is the one who

00:10:42 --> 00:10:46

made exclusively for you the earth

00:10:48 --> 00:10:53

value law of alula and means something that yields to you that

00:10:53 --> 00:10:58

submits to you, that offers itself for its service.

00:10:59 --> 00:11:04

So, Allah says that he is the one who made the earth, the Loulan

00:11:04 --> 00:11:05

yielding to you

00:11:07 --> 00:11:12

to make it easy for you to live on it. Now, let's reflect on that.

00:11:12 --> 00:11:18

What does that mean? That Allah made the earth soft, so you can

00:11:18 --> 00:11:18

dig it.

00:11:20 --> 00:11:26

You can cultivate and grow things in it. You can use it to build for

00:11:26 --> 00:11:26

construction,

00:11:27 --> 00:11:30

for farming and many other uses.

00:11:32 --> 00:11:37

If he wanted, he could have made it only all jagged rocks.

00:11:39 --> 00:11:43

He made most of the earth flat and plane for you to travel easily.

00:11:44 --> 00:11:47

Yet he put mountains to stabilize it.

00:11:48 --> 00:11:52

Can you imagine if it was only cliffs and mountains everywhere?

00:11:52 --> 00:11:56

How difficult it would be? If the Earth was only rocks? What would

00:11:56 --> 00:11:57

you be able to grow?

00:11:58 --> 00:12:01

Or even worse, suppose Allah subhanaw taala had made this earth

00:12:02 --> 00:12:03

made out of iron

00:12:05 --> 00:12:08

ore let's go richer if the earth was made out of gold, pure gold,

00:12:08 --> 00:12:11

the whole earth? How would you live on it?

00:12:13 --> 00:12:14

What could you do with it?

00:12:16 --> 00:12:19

What would the temperature be of that goal with the sun shining on

00:12:19 --> 00:12:20

it?

00:12:23 --> 00:12:29

Yet he did not make it like that. And on the other hand, he did not

00:12:29 --> 00:12:33

make it so soft. That you cannot walk on it. Can you imagine if it

00:12:33 --> 00:12:38

was like the sand dunes? Or like, you know, what is it the

00:12:39 --> 00:12:43

quicksand that you couldn't walk on it every foot you put in you

00:12:43 --> 00:12:45

sunk in it? How difficult would it be?

00:12:46 --> 00:12:50

So Allah subhanaw taala just reminding us by us, just look at

00:12:50 --> 00:12:54

this earth he made it valuable and yet we take everything for

00:12:54 --> 00:13:00

granted. Unaware of the blessings of Allah subhanaw taala and what

00:13:00 --> 00:13:01

it could have been

00:13:03 --> 00:13:06

then Allah subhanaw taala for reminding us of this he says, Feng

00:13:06 --> 00:13:11

Shui monarchy be a function means travel, Walker, walk through the

00:13:11 --> 00:13:15

Earth, monarchy her through its various regions through its

00:13:15 --> 00:13:19

mountains through its valleys through its planes. monarchy comes

00:13:19 --> 00:13:22

from mancha means shoulders, you know things that stick out so the

00:13:22 --> 00:13:23

mountains that stick out

00:13:24 --> 00:13:28

the sides, Allah subhanaw taala tells us some have some of the

00:13:28 --> 00:13:32

more faster on the scholars of tafsir I've said that this refers

00:13:32 --> 00:13:36

to mountains because they stick out they're strong and the valleys

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

that Allah subhanaw taala sang travelled through the earth

00:13:38 --> 00:13:42

through the mountains through the valleys through the plains what

00:13:42 --> 00:13:48

Kulu min recipe and eat all the his risk of His provision.

00:13:49 --> 00:13:55

Allah smart Allah say, travel, seek all type of your risk. Risk

00:13:55 --> 00:14:00

is the provisions and under provision is everything that you

00:14:00 --> 00:14:02

need, and we'll talk about it in a minute.

00:14:04 --> 00:14:09

And Allah subhanaw taala loves people who make an honest effort

00:14:11 --> 00:14:16

for acquiring the risk and yet they put their trust. They have

00:14:16 --> 00:14:17

debacle in Alaska.

00:14:19 --> 00:14:24

An example of this is one time say you had no hammer, if not photogra

00:14:24 --> 00:14:27

The Allah one Amira meaning came to muster the Navi and you saw

00:14:27 --> 00:14:31

people sitting there, not doing anything. They were just sitting

00:14:31 --> 00:14:36

there. He said and who are you people? They said we are matawa

00:14:36 --> 00:14:37

Kowloon.

00:14:38 --> 00:14:41

We are the people of our cool means we are just sitting here

00:14:41 --> 00:14:46

Allah will we have Tawakkol Allah will provide for us and he said,

00:14:46 --> 00:14:51

No, you are metaxalone You are those who are just waiting for

00:14:51 --> 00:14:53

food to come you are the freeloaders In other words,

00:14:53 --> 00:14:56

encourage them go and seek your work or your risk.

00:14:58 --> 00:14:59

Then Allah subhanaw taala says

00:15:00 --> 00:15:02

What lay Hindu shoe, in other words,

00:15:04 --> 00:15:09

go travel the odd secure risk. But remember a lay Hindu, sure again

00:15:09 --> 00:15:13

the gland grammatical structure, you lay him giving precedent only

00:15:13 --> 00:15:14

to him.

00:15:16 --> 00:15:20

To him alone is your new shoes, your resurrection.

00:15:22 --> 00:15:25

Allah subhanaw taala is reminding us not to forget the day of

00:15:25 --> 00:15:29

judgment when we travel in the earth. When we see the beauty of

00:15:29 --> 00:15:32

the earth, when we enjoy the blessings of the earth, when we

00:15:32 --> 00:15:35

are seeking his risk, Allah subhanaw taala says keep that

00:15:35 --> 00:15:40

always in the back, in fact, in the front of your mind, that

00:15:40 --> 00:15:43

you're constantly moving, traveling towards the day of

00:15:43 --> 00:15:48

judgment. So don't ever forget that, because that will keep you

00:15:48 --> 00:15:52

from doing what you might regret on the day of judgment as you

00:15:52 --> 00:15:53

enjoy the blessings of philosophy.

00:15:56 --> 00:15:59

So, Allah subhanaw taala is telling us travelled through the

00:15:59 --> 00:16:04

Earth, seek ALLAH subhanaw taala as risk eat, use it enjoy

00:16:05 --> 00:16:08

and one day you will be

00:16:09 --> 00:16:14

gathered back to him your resurrection nasura actually means

00:16:14 --> 00:16:18

to spread. So, some of the scholars have said that from that

00:16:18 --> 00:16:22

little tail bone when Allah puts everything together, this body

00:16:22 --> 00:16:28

will unfold nakshatra unfold and gather and some have said that on

00:16:28 --> 00:16:31

the Day of Judgment people will then be spread out into different

00:16:31 --> 00:16:34

groups. So, the National means spread out into different groups

00:16:34 --> 00:16:36

that people have the right the people of the left the people in

00:16:36 --> 00:16:40

the forefront, then the grouping according to who followed which

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

messenger and so on so forth.

00:16:43 --> 00:16:50

So that is this idea that after this comes either number 16. Now

00:16:50 --> 00:16:57

Allah subhanaw taala is asking some questions. And these ideas

00:16:57 --> 00:17:03

are is of warning. Allah subhanaw taala says I am number 16 Amin to

00:17:03 --> 00:17:11

manifest sama and yes if I become Olga either here to more amend to

00:17:11 --> 00:17:14

manifest summary, a question? Do

00:17:16 --> 00:17:21

you feel secure? Allah is addressing

00:17:22 --> 00:17:24

mankind especially the kuffaar

00:17:25 --> 00:17:28

Do you this the director address without

00:17:29 --> 00:17:32

telling the Prophet Salla lesson tell them and that will come later

00:17:32 --> 00:17:37

in the Surah omentum Do you feel secure that the one the month is

00:17:37 --> 00:17:39

semi, the one who is in the heavens?

00:17:40 --> 00:17:44

Now don't take that literally. Because Allah subhanaw taala is

00:17:44 --> 00:17:48

not contained in the heavens, or the earth, or in his creation. He

00:17:48 --> 00:17:53

is above a stone, a little harsh. But what is meant by this

00:17:53 --> 00:17:56

figuratively is the one who is above you when he says in the

00:17:56 --> 00:18:00

heavens, because no heaven can contain Allah subhanaw taala the

00:18:00 --> 00:18:04

heavens is creation. So do you feel so secure that the one who is

00:18:04 --> 00:18:05

in the heaven?

00:18:07 --> 00:18:10

Amen. Yes, if I may call out

00:18:11 --> 00:18:17

that he will not cause the earth. Yes, if a means to make the make

00:18:17 --> 00:18:21

you sink into the earth, the earth to swallow you.

00:18:22 --> 00:18:26

Do you feel secure that you're walking on this earth that you are

00:18:26 --> 00:18:29

so secure, because feel so secure?

00:18:30 --> 00:18:34

Before that the eyes of the Earth had come off is made it for you,

00:18:34 --> 00:18:38

you know Lululemon submitting to you, but don't take it for

00:18:38 --> 00:18:44

granted. Because Allah tells us that the Earth can swallow you

00:18:44 --> 00:18:49

just like the oceans can swallow you. And Allah Samantha has given

00:18:49 --> 00:18:54

us the example. I hope some of you remember that there was among the

00:18:54 --> 00:18:58

Israelites at the time of Musa al escena, a person who was related

00:18:58 --> 00:19:03

to him who was very arrogant and proud about his wealth, and his

00:19:03 --> 00:19:04

name was our own.

00:19:06 --> 00:19:10

And Allah Subhana Allah mentions in the Quran that the earth opened

00:19:10 --> 00:19:15

and swallowed him and the people with him that will like him and

00:19:15 --> 00:19:16

all of his wealth.

00:19:18 --> 00:19:22

And interestingly, it is also mentioned in the Bible, in the

00:19:23 --> 00:19:27

chapter called numbers under the name of Korra that the earth

00:19:27 --> 00:19:28

swallowed.

00:19:30 --> 00:19:35

So Allah subhanaw taala says the earth don't feel secure that you

00:19:35 --> 00:19:38

are here and there is no one in charge. Allah has shown us

00:19:38 --> 00:19:41

examples of the quicksand he has shown us sinkholes that we see.

00:19:42 --> 00:19:45

And on a larger scale. If we look at the history of the earth, there

00:19:45 --> 00:19:48

were super continents that disappeared. There were super

00:19:48 --> 00:19:52

oceans that were solid back. And so there have been cycles of

00:19:52 --> 00:19:56

millions of years of super continents and super oceans where

00:19:56 --> 00:19:59

portions of the earth get interned oceans

00:20:00 --> 00:20:02

Get It turned into the earth and something else comes up.

00:20:04 --> 00:20:07

So Allah smart Allah says, don't feel secure that the earth will

00:20:07 --> 00:20:11

not secure and will not swallow you and doing all the disobedience

00:20:11 --> 00:20:16

for either here tamo and he says, when it shakes like a quack and it

00:20:16 --> 00:20:21

becomes level. So, you know, the example is you know, if we take a

00:20:21 --> 00:20:25

big sack of grain and we're taking using a cup, you know, digging out

00:20:25 --> 00:20:30

some wheat, for example, or rice, and you put the cup in and the and

00:20:30 --> 00:20:34

the rice slowly starts to come on top of it and if you shake it, it

00:20:34 --> 00:20:38

just covers it as if nothing existed. So that's the example

00:20:38 --> 00:20:41

that we could get swallowed up Allah smart Allah is giving a

00:20:41 --> 00:20:46

warning that don't be so arrogant and don't feel so secure that the

00:20:46 --> 00:20:49

earth on which you travel will not swallow you up.

00:20:50 --> 00:20:52

Then another warning comes
