Welcome back
to our Quran, hello cards that we had temporarily suspended because
of Ramadan and I hope all of you had a wonderful Ramadan.
And my last one, I'll accept the Ramadan from all of us and help us
to lead our lives for the rest of the 11 months.
Like we were in Ramadan, in a state of obedience and closeness
to Allah subhanaw taala
inshallah
So, Ramadan is the month of the Quran and therefore we continue in
our tradition of trying to learn and study together
in a sort of a simple format. We call it the tafsir understanding
of the Quran. And we have been dealing with the makin Quran,
which is what was revealed to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
alayhi wa sallam, before his Hijra
when he was living in Makkah, and Makkah was a very hostile
environment for him, because he had introduced a new idea of the
hate and of justice, and a good character to the Americans who did
not want their system changed.
And so, the few followers that Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam had
when facing a lot of opposition, ridicule,
persecution, torture, all of that. And the Prophet salallahu Alaihe
Salam was likewise being rejected, including by his own family,
ridiculed being called a liar being called a poet being called
magician, because of the the kalam of Allah subhanaw taala, the words
that he brought.
So that was the environment of the McDonough Quran, an environment of
hostility, everybody opposing the message opposing the messenger
opposing those who had accepted Islam.
So we should be able to identify with that because in general,
Muslims living in the West
in LA mashallah are living in somewhat of a hostile environment,
not as bad as it was in Makkah.
But people are suspicious of Islam suspicious of Muslims have a bad
opinion.
And there are forces that are working against Islam and against
Muslims today, like they were at that time. So we should be able to
identify that this was the environment. This was the backdrop
in which these revelations came down. And the makin part of the
Quran, as we have studied before, consists of a few major topics,
one of which is to heed the Oneness of Allah subhanaw taala,
the most important and the akhira the hereafter and accountability
that there is a day of judgment, that there is life after death,
there is paradise there is *, there is heaven, and that
everyone is going to be assembled in front of Allah subhanaw taala
for a day of judgment, and that this was not a new message, but
that messages like this had come before through previous message
Gers and previous scriptures had come and people had opposed them.
So
Allah subhanaw taala wanted the Meccans, the Quraysh, the tribe of
that was the dominant tribe of Arabia of Makkah at that time to
hear this message and to accept Islam.
So, the primary audience for this Quran that we are going to study
today, the primary audience, it was addressed to Rasul allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. It was addressed to the early Muslims
who had accepted Islam.
And it was a means because it was being revealed it wasn't in the
form of a book, all of it revealed it was being revealed
in real time, as they face problems, Allah would reveal Quran
so it was coming down real time, when you had a problem. Allah
revealed the Quran about it when they faced difficulties, Allah
revealed the Quran. So it would strengthen those early Muslims,
that Allah knows our situation, and he addresses us.
This was a means of
strengthening and increasing the Yaqeen.
And it was also meant to reassure Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
that no matter how much difficulty or opposition you face, similar
difficulties have been faced by prophets before you messengers
before you, your brothers with the same message. And in the end, the
truth will prevail. So reassurance to the prophets, Allah, Allah
listen. And the purpose the audience was also the Quraysh to
invite them to believe and to appeal to them logically to
understand this then, and also as a warning that if you don't
accept, then be prepared for what happened to nations before that.
So that's the background of this makin Quran. And we are today
talking about surah number 79 and Nazjatar, which is the last juice
of the Quran after Amma Siloam. This is the next Surah after that.
And now that so Allah subhanaw taala starts this surah 46 It
starts with the first five ayat which are oats axon, the plural of
custom, Allah subhanaw taala takes an oath. And we've talked about
the purpose of the oath before but just to remind each other and
youngsters again,
that when do you take an oath?
When you take an oath, when are you asked to take an oath
when people have doubt whether you are telling the truth now does
Allah subhanaw taala need to take an oath
he does not yet he takes an oath. And Allah Samantha swears by or
takes an oath or makes a person by what she has created things that
are important, and which are relevant to why the oath is being
taken. So Allah subhanaw taala takes an oath by certain things
such as we've talked about, what in Fajr by the dawn will lay, you
know, by the night, what the * by the morning
was Shams by the sun, like that Allah subhanaw taala can take an
oath he can swear by but as Muslims, we cannot swear by
anything of the creation, we only swear by Allah, we can say I swear
by my mother, we say I swear by Allah, but Allah swears by His
creation, and this way he honors His creation, the ones that he is
taking an oath by, and they are not random. They are somehow
related, the ones that where He's taking an oath with what is coming
after that. So when Allah takes an oath, he takes an oath by
something. And then the reason the, the object of the oath is
Allah subhanaw taala is trying to stress the importance of what
comes after which is called Javon casa.
Like when we say I swear, that I'm telling the truth, so I swear by
Allah, so that's and what am I sweating that I'm telling the
truth?
So Allah subhanaw taala takes an oath. by five, five there are five
votes at the beginning of this surah Allah subhanaw taala says
all the Himalayas sure you're on your regime. Bismillah hir rahman,
you're rocking one Nazjatar the water or one Nash party Nash ball
Nepal was Serbia hayati, Serbia.
For Serbia port Isabel ka fall muda Bharati M Ra. So the
These are the five oats the first one,
one Nazjatar.
Now, Allah's Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa Salam is the one who
explained the Quran to us, in this case, last messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam did not specify what Nuzhat means.
And therefore there are opinions from the scholars, including the
companions of Rasulullah sallallahu how they understood it.
So there is a majority opinion,
the majority opinion is that one Nazjatar Allah smart ALLAH is
talking about the angels, who come to extract the soul at the time of
death, and specifically the angels, when Naza means something
that pulls out with force.
Work, when Nazjatar welcome is Allah smart Allah saying, I swear
by those angels who violently pull out the soul, what is the meaning
of violently pull out the soul means
that the person whose soul is being pulled out, is generally a
disbeliever
did not believe in Allah subhanaw taala and the angels and therefore
this person, when he sees the reality of death does not want to
leave this existence does. The soul does not want to leave, wants
to stay, but it has no choice. So these angels who come with the
Angel of Death, pull out that soul with great violent force.
And this is the opinion of Sayyidina Ali Rhodiola. One
ignoramus Oh, there are the Allah Han of the Lightner bass, the
major companions were of the opinion that another that are
those angels who violently pull out the souls of the disbelievers.
How difficult it is, the example has been given as if you have a
skewer metal skewer with spikes on it, and you pull it through wet
cotton
and how it pulls everything apart. That's how difficult it is because
that soul has to be pulled out from under every hair and under
every nail of that disbeliever doesn't want to leave it stuck in
there doesn't want to leave
because it knows what is ahead for it of Allah's Anger and
punishment.
So, when Allah subhanaw taala swears by this now there are some
other alternatives, opinions of some some later scholars who think
that these deal with the planets and the winds and Warhorse many
opinions, but the predominant opinion that we are going to stick
with is that these are those angels the next Iowan gnash
authority nashbar. Here, Allah swears by the angels, who gently
massaged gently take out the souls
whose souls should those be?
The believers? Why because they are given the Bashara at the time
the good news at the time of death, when the angels come, that
Allah is pleased with you, there is now a lot of rewards and
pleasure for you. Therefore, the soul eagerly wants to leave. So
let's go and therefore those angels gently extract that soul
which is willing to go
and the example for that that was given is that it's like a
container of water you just pour out some water that's how gently
the soul when national multinational the the soul of the
believers leaves when it's at the time of death.
Masada Hardy Subha again talking about the angels who swim somehow
means to swim, who glide along through the heavens through the
skies, carrying the souls of the believers because we are going to
talk in a minute about the journey of the soul after death. Many of
you may know it, but just to remind we will do that, that they
carry the soldier was SABIC rt subaqua And Allah is is swearing
by those angels, summer Commons who are competing who are racing
with each other, to go and take the souls of the believers so that
they can take them carry them to Allah subhanaw taala
fall muda Bharati Umrah and Allah subhanaw taala swears by those
angels who carry out obediently conduct and carry out all the
affairs of the dunya everything that Allah subhanaw taala orders.
Okay, so Jibreel Allah Salam, what is meant the main function
function of Dubray la Salam.
He brought the message to all the various prophets and he is the
head of the angels. There is an angel by the name of Mikael, what
is his function? Does anybody remember what is his main role?
He takes care of the provisions, the rains and the and the produce
and providing people with none. There's an angel by the name of
Israel field who has heard of that? What is he? What's his
function?
He is standing like this the whole time. And it's not meant to be
like this. I'm just putting it like this with the soul that will
bring the end of this universe that says function. And then there
is the angel called molecule mouth. What does that mean?
Molech means Angel, mouth, everybody knows the angel of
death. So those are main functions and that Angel of Death is going
to come now. So Allah subhanaw taala swears by his angels.
And tells us when he's taking an oath by these angels who are
extracting Souls, He is telling us
that debt has real.
Anyone here thinks they're going to escape it?
At some point?
It's not a choice. Do you know anyone who's ever escaped? No.
Maybe temporarily, you think you've got a second chance. But
Allah subhanaw taala tells us that every soul will die because this
is how Allah subhanaw taala created the system. He did not
create us to be here. We are here as temporary residents. We don't
have citizenship here.
We are only on a tourist visa on this earth. Just a tourist visa.
It can be revoked anytime. Anytime. We were just as we were
driving here, we just were talking about a 23 year old who died last
week here in spring.
One of ours our dear sisters sister died last week, 36 years
old suddenly died in childbirth. Nobody knows when the time comes,
right? So we are told Allah is taking the oath by these angels,
because the job of custom is going to come but before we go to that,
because it's irrelevant. The Day of Judgment is
what is the journey of the soul? So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
salam taught us in a very famous Hadith that is narrated by Al Bara
even Azim who said that Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi salam said
that when the believer is about to die,
angels come
and they have bright faces,
bright like the sun there, and they look beautiful, and they all
come. And as far as the not only the dying person can see them.
People sitting around, do not see them.
And that person sees them. And sometimes if you've been with
somebody, you can see that while they're still alive, that they're
not looking at you anymore. If you've ever experienced that, they
look like they're looking at something else.
When the great Khalifa Omar
Abdulaziz was about to die, he said to his people, he said I
shall do Allah Allah Allah Allah said, I see creatures that are
neither Jin nor men.
He said that
and then he passed away.
So, they see all as far as the eye of the of the dying believer can
see sees these beautiful faces lined up of people of angels
around them.
And then comes Malakal mouth,
the angel of death and he sits near the head of the person.
And then he says,
he says all pure soul or good soul, come to the forgiveness of
Allah come to the pleasure. Now imagine this is the Bashara that
the angel of death is coming, come to the pleasure of Allah and to
His forgiveness of that already is such a good feeling for the dying
person. So that soul
so He extracts the soul easily and as soon as it takes the soul, the
other angels that are there. They have come with the shroud of Jana,
you know, like we have a coffin Yeah, they have come with a
special shroud of fabric that is pure and scented with the best of
sense of perfumes and Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said, From
January. And as soon as He extracts the soul, now we are
talking about in physical terms, but soul is not physical. But this
is a description. They take the soul and wrap it like it's being
wrapped and check into and then they can wherever they carry it
the angels will say, we smell this beautiful smell, who is this pure
soul they say this is so and so. son of so and so. So and So
daughter of so and so.
And they carry it through each heaven when they come to every
level of heaviness.
When heavens the angel asks, Who is this, and they are taught, and
then they the leader angels, the elect angels accompany the soul to
the next one. And then till that soul is taken to Allah subhanaw
taala as presents.
And then Allah subhanaw taala says to the angels write the book of my
slave among the Ely Yun and if you remember, le Yoon, we covered
that, in a previous This is a book in which is the record of the
believers which is kept somewhere in the proximity of the ash of
Allah. So Allah subhanaw taala says, Write this net person's book
in Leu his name, and then take him back to the earth because I
created them from there. And I'm leave them there till I bring them
out. So the angels and bring the soul back and that soul witnesses
what is going on. They see the body being washed from you know,
like, like a, you know,
CCTV camera, who they're looking at who's washing their body, how
they're treating it, and then the how the coffin is done, and how
they carry and then the soul is brought back to the body but not
in the same way. The body says that the soul remains between the
coffin, what we wrap the body and the body in the grave. And when
the people leave, then the angels have
mancha Nucky the angels of questioning they come and they ask
questions of this person. Man Rob book, who was your Lord? Now since
we this is a believer, sir Robbie, Allah, Allah is Milan. What is
your deen? What was your way of life and Islam?
And then they show a picture. What do you say about this man? He
said, This is Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he
recognizes. He said, How do you know all this? He said because I
read the book of Allah. And I believed in it, and I testify to
its truth. Then the angels say
a voice will come and say he has spoken the truth.
Let him rest
