Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Bismillah
Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah while Allahi wa
Sahbihi women Wada,
Allahumma Zina Elma wa ala to the Illumina Data Hub Lana Mila
dhankar In can tell when
we ask Allah subhanaw taala to open our hearts to his
remembrance,
and to accept this gathering
from us, and make it purely for his sake, email loss of Hannah
Tala.
Help us to internalize what we hear, and what we study together
of the second part of Surah Al Mulk that we started
last time two weeks ago.
So just to recap briefly, we started Surah mulk, very special
Surah that will intercede in the grave and protect from punishment
of the grave that will intercede on the Day of Judgment till the
person
enters Jannah and it is a special Surah that the Prophet salallahu
alayhi salam used to recite every night according to some
narrations, and that you wished that all of his ummah would carry
it in their hearts. And as we said, the surah first started with
the Most Blessed is the Barak Allah wa the hill milk, the one
who has the Dominion, which is Allah subhanaw taala. And that he
is an absolute and complete control of everything, that He is
the One who created life and death, to see who is the best of
actions. And he tells us to reflect on the heavens that he
created the seven heavens, and that we should reflect and find
any any fault with that and we wouldn't, we would bet get
fatigued. And he tells us that you decorated the lowest heavens with
the stars, which are also used besides beautification for chasing
away the shouting, will try and reach beyond what they're
permitted. And also, as we learned as a guide for the travelers that
night.
And then Allah subhanaw taala tells us about the people who
disobey Allah subhanaw taala that Allah subhanaw taala has created
the Hellfire for them the punishment of the Hellfire
mentioned quite vividly in multiple Iots about the sound that
the Hellfire will will make and it will be ready to burst out just
like fuel is being thrown into the fire because the fuel of the
Hellfire is men and stones as Allah subhanaw taala says that it
will be burning with fury. And as the keepers the angels who got it,
keep throwing crowds of people in there, they will ask them didn't
want to come to you? And they will say yes, he came and they will
acknowledge it and then they will say
we said that you know you're a liar and we denied them. And then
they will show their regret. They said if we had used our minds if
we had used our intellect, we would not be in this predicament
of the hellfire and they will confess their crimes. So Allah
smart Allah gives us that scene and then he gives us the opposite
scene where he says and those who have reverence or and fear of loss
mannitol and standing who have that European that they will stand
in front of Allah subhanaw taala for them Allah subhanaw taala has
forgiveness and a journey can be a great reward. So that is the end
of iron number 12 that we covered last week. So with that brief
recap inshallah we will start with iron number 13. And now the ideas
that are coming our IRS where we need to reflect
and ultimately lay him in a shape on your regime. Last one Allah
says what a serial Coleco a which has to be in Hua Halim b that is
sudo Allah subhanaw taala says, what a serial Colaco and if you
make secret what you say your words are weird you have to be or
you are Jeff, you are loud and apparent with them. In other
words, whatever you want to say whether it's secret
He said or loudly said in who I leave them with that the sudo
Allah subhanaw taala indeed he knows even what is inside your
hearts. So whether you try and hide it, there is nothing hidden.
There is nothing secret from Allah subhanaw taala because he not only
knows what you have said, but he also knows what's in your heart,
what you are thinking what you have not even expressed by your
words. So he knows your intentions, He knows your plans,
He knows your thoughts, what is within the chest, everything is
fully known to him, it's like an open book, and he knows it better
than we know ourselves.
So Allah subhanaw taala tells us in this ayah it's sort of a
challenge, that no matter what you do, what you say or think, it is
not a secret from Allah subhanaw taala therefore, what should that
do to you? Therefore, logically, if you know that, and you believe
in that, then you should make the right choices at all times. In all
places, you know, under all circumstances, in your thoughts,
your thoughts should be righteous, your words should be righteous,
your actions should be righteous because
Allah subhanaw taala knows all of it. So if you're a thinking
intelligent person, make the right choices. Then Allah subhanaw taala
says in the next ayah
Allah Ya Allah Moo man Holika will who will not the full Hubby, Allah
subhanaw taala asks a question. Allah Allah. Does he not know who
mon halacha the One who created Does he not know his creation?
I mean, we know if you if you make something, you are the best in
control of your you know, everything of its details if you
are an engineer, if you're an architect, so Allah created
everything, don't you think? Isn't it so obvious that he knows the
details of everything of who he created, what he created? What
what?
One halacha Well, one latte for hubby. And he is is a Latif
Latif is one of the special names of Allah subhanaw taala, which has
multiple shades of meanings. It is translated most often in the
English language as subtle, which doesn't mean much, which means
something that's hard to perceive. So Latif is also soft. Latif is
also generous. Latif is also merciful, one who watches over
every detail. He's detail oriented, he shows his mercy in
the minute test affairs of your life.
That's a Lateef
that when He shows His mercy, it may be so imperceptible so subtle
that you don't even notice that this is our law.
So he is Latif
a lot, if a hobby,
hobby, one who was informed of everything, again, highlighting
what came before that he knows even what is within you.
So he Allah subhanaw taala is taking care of every need of yours
of mine.
With his not with his merciful benevolence,
yet he is doing it from behind the scenes
that you don't see it obviously, because he is doing it from behind
the veil, the curtain of as Bob of means, we see things happening,
but we don't know who is behind. Inshallah we know who is behind,
but we don't see it.
So these two Ayat are speaking as you know, two groups were
mentioned those who reject and those who are shown or have been
built by those who are afraid of Allah subhanaw taala who have
Reverend or that these two Iots are speaking to both group of
people, one that are being warned, who are under Invar warning, the
one who are prone to make bad choices they are being worn by
this that he knows and also the ones who have fear of him. The
people of Tom shields Bashara they are being made aware that Allah
knows that you are making the right choices.
And therefore, your outcome is going to be a good outcome. It's
going to be Allah subhanaw taala as pleasure. So both groups are
being warned and given Glad Tidings to these two pilots. Next
Allah subhanaw taala says, Who will let the janela comin out of
the balloon and functional fee monarchy ba ba, ba Kulu Mariska he
will la Hindu Chu
who will lead the he is the one Jalla lac whom will balloon the
grammatical structure here altered to specify that he is the one who
made exclusively for you the earth
value law of alula and means something that yields to you that
submits to you, that offers itself for its service.
So, Allah says that he is the one who made the earth, the Loulan
yielding to you
to make it easy for you to live on it. Now, let's reflect on that.
What does that mean? That Allah made the earth soft, so you can
dig it.
You can cultivate and grow things in it. You can use it to build for
construction,
for farming and many other uses.
If he wanted, he could have made it only all jagged rocks.
He made most of the earth flat and plane for you to travel easily.
Yet he put mountains to stabilize it.
Can you imagine if it was only cliffs and mountains everywhere?
How difficult it would be? If the Earth was only rocks? What would
you be able to grow?
Or even worse, suppose Allah subhanaw taala had made this earth
made out of iron
ore let's go richer if the earth was made out of gold, pure gold,
the whole earth? How would you live on it?
What could you do with it?
What would the temperature be of that goal with the sun shining on
it?
Yet he did not make it like that. And on the other hand, he did not
make it so soft. That you cannot walk on it. Can you imagine if it
was like the sand dunes? Or like, you know, what is it the
quicksand that you couldn't walk on it every foot you put in you
sunk in it? How difficult would it be?
So Allah subhanaw taala just reminding us by us, just look at
this earth he made it valuable and yet we take everything for
granted. Unaware of the blessings of Allah subhanaw taala and what
it could have been
then Allah subhanaw taala for reminding us of this he says, Feng
Shui monarchy be a function means travel, Walker, walk through the
Earth, monarchy her through its various regions through its
mountains through its valleys through its planes. monarchy comes
from mancha means shoulders, you know things that stick out so the
mountains that stick out
the sides, Allah subhanaw taala tells us some have some of the
more faster on the scholars of tafsir I've said that this refers
to mountains because they stick out they're strong and the valleys
that Allah subhanaw taala sang travelled through the earth
through the mountains through the valleys through the plains what
Kulu min recipe and eat all the his risk of His provision.
Allah smart Allah say, travel, seek all type of your risk. Risk
is the provisions and under provision is everything that you
need, and we'll talk about it in a minute.
And Allah subhanaw taala loves people who make an honest effort
for acquiring the risk and yet they put their trust. They have
debacle in Alaska.
An example of this is one time say you had no hammer, if not photogra
The Allah one Amira meaning came to muster the Navi and you saw
people sitting there, not doing anything. They were just sitting
there. He said and who are you people? They said we are matawa
Kowloon.
We are the people of our cool means we are just sitting here
Allah will we have Tawakkol Allah will provide for us and he said,
No, you are metaxalone You are those who are just waiting for
food to come you are the freeloaders In other words,
encourage them go and seek your work or your risk.
Then Allah subhanaw taala says
What lay Hindu shoe, in other words,
go travel the odd secure risk. But remember a lay Hindu, sure again
the gland grammatical structure, you lay him giving precedent only
to him.
To him alone is your new shoes, your resurrection.
Allah subhanaw taala is reminding us not to forget the day of
judgment when we travel in the earth. When we see the beauty of
the earth, when we enjoy the blessings of the earth, when we
are seeking his risk, Allah subhanaw taala says keep that
always in the back, in fact, in the front of your mind, that
you're constantly moving, traveling towards the day of
judgment. So don't ever forget that, because that will keep you
from doing what you might regret on the day of judgment as you
enjoy the blessings of philosophy.
So, Allah subhanaw taala is telling us travelled through the
Earth, seek ALLAH subhanaw taala as risk eat, use it enjoy
and one day you will be
gathered back to him your resurrection nasura actually means
to spread. So, some of the scholars have said that from that
little tail bone when Allah puts everything together, this body
will unfold nakshatra unfold and gather and some have said that on
the Day of Judgment people will then be spread out into different
groups. So, the National means spread out into different groups
that people have the right the people of the left the people in
the forefront, then the grouping according to who followed which
messenger and so on so forth.
So that is this idea that after this comes either number 16. Now
Allah subhanaw taala is asking some questions. And these ideas
are is of warning. Allah subhanaw taala says I am number 16 Amin to
manifest sama and yes if I become Olga either here to more amend to
manifest summary, a question? Do
you feel secure? Allah is addressing
mankind especially the kuffaar
Do you this the director address without
telling the Prophet Salla lesson tell them and that will come later
in the Surah omentum Do you feel secure that the one the month is
semi, the one who is in the heavens?
Now don't take that literally. Because Allah subhanaw taala is
not contained in the heavens, or the earth, or in his creation. He
is above a stone, a little harsh. But what is meant by this
figuratively is the one who is above you when he says in the
heavens, because no heaven can contain Allah subhanaw taala the
heavens is creation. So do you feel so secure that the one who is
in the heaven?
Amen. Yes, if I may call out
that he will not cause the earth. Yes, if a means to make the make
you sink into the earth, the earth to swallow you.
Do you feel secure that you're walking on this earth that you are
so secure, because feel so secure?
Before that the eyes of the Earth had come off is made it for you,
you know Lululemon submitting to you, but don't take it for
granted. Because Allah tells us that the Earth can swallow you
just like the oceans can swallow you. And Allah Samantha has given
us the example. I hope some of you remember that there was among the
Israelites at the time of Musa al escena, a person who was related
to him who was very arrogant and proud about his wealth, and his
name was our own.
And Allah Subhana Allah mentions in the Quran that the earth opened
and swallowed him and the people with him that will like him and
all of his wealth.
And interestingly, it is also mentioned in the Bible, in the
chapter called numbers under the name of Korra that the earth
swallowed.
So Allah subhanaw taala says the earth don't feel secure that you
are here and there is no one in charge. Allah has shown us
examples of the quicksand he has shown us sinkholes that we see.
And on a larger scale. If we look at the history of the earth, there
were super continents that disappeared. There were super
oceans that were solid back. And so there have been cycles of
millions of years of super continents and super oceans where
portions of the earth get interned oceans
Get It turned into the earth and something else comes up.
So Allah smart Allah says, don't feel secure that the earth will
not secure and will not swallow you and doing all the disobedience
for either here tamo and he says, when it shakes like a quack and it
becomes level. So, you know, the example is you know, if we take a
big sack of grain and we're taking using a cup, you know, digging out
some wheat, for example, or rice, and you put the cup in and the and
the rice slowly starts to come on top of it and if you shake it, it
just covers it as if nothing existed. So that's the example
that we could get swallowed up Allah smart Allah is giving a
warning that don't be so arrogant and don't feel so secure that the
earth on which you travel will not swallow you up.
Then another warning comes
