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

Then Allah Subhana Allah says, Rafa some half or so well, he

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

raised the heights of the heavens was an fossa, and he proportioned

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15

it and made it perfect as we said in previous tours that we've read

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

Allah says Look, do you find any defects in the in the in the

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

heavens? Do you find any any cracks, any cleavages any things

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

sagging of the skies? No. Do you see any pillars holding them up?

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

No. So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us look at the flawless

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

creation, the perfect order and proportion of Allah's creation.

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

And he says, well after Shalala, Accra Jaga, ha ha and then Allah

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

SWOT analysis and he covers the night with darkness he brings the

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

night and then he brings the day with brightness. He's telling us

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

this creation ponder this is not just happening random while or the

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

by the Delica ha ha and then Allah has spread out the earth that is

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

not just made of, you know, rocks and and mountains and ridges as we

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

said before unless flattened it out. So we can travel and we can

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

earn a living we can see the earth and we mentioned this in previous

00:01:07 --> 00:01:10

sutras. So Allah has spread out this earth for us.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:16

After Raja minha ma, ma, ma, and and Isn't he the one who brought

00:01:16 --> 00:01:21

out the water from deserts? I mean, they're looking all over the

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

universe and planets and Mars where his water where his water

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

who brought out the water unless one man who brought out this water

00:01:27 --> 00:01:31

and the Murrah the, the vegetation, the vegetables, the

00:01:31 --> 00:01:36

fruits, the trees, all the foliage, who Allah subhanaw taala

00:01:36 --> 00:01:40

is asking a question again, telling us that all everything

00:01:41 --> 00:01:46

while Jabba Allah Azza and then he fixed and these mountains as pegs

00:01:46 --> 00:01:50

to stabilize the earth as it spins around so it doesn't vibrate you

00:01:50 --> 00:01:56

know? counterbalancing so Allah smart Allah is telling us that I

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57

have done all of this.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01

You still doubt that I cannot I created you from nothing I cannot

00:02:01 --> 00:02:05

create it create you from dead bones and decayed bones is that so

00:02:05 --> 00:02:09

difficult to imagine? So Allah subhanaw taala is appealing to the

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10

intellect to think logically.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:15

And then he says all of this I created Matala, camaleon amicon

00:02:15 --> 00:02:21

For your enjoyment as a provision for you as your sustenance for you

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

and your cattle.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

Animals that you have all of this I created for you.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:31

Then Allah subhanaw taala after reminding us this in the next

00:02:32 --> 00:02:36

eight ayat, Allah subhanaw taala goes back to again, the importance

00:02:36 --> 00:02:40

of what the whole surah is about the PM. So Allah subhanaw taala

00:02:40 --> 00:02:44

then goes back to the next

00:02:45 --> 00:02:52

for either job, or material Cobra. Now again, the rhythm changes. yo

00:02:52 --> 00:02:59

maya karoun In Santa new masa Babu resulting in Jahai Mooli mining

00:02:59 --> 00:03:07

era fam man mammals toggle for Arthur L Hayato. duniya for in

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

Alger thema. Here

00:03:10 --> 00:03:20

where am men Harpham upon my rugby when Neff sign in for in Janata

00:03:20 --> 00:03:20

here

00:03:24 --> 00:03:30

so Allah subhanaw taala now goes back to the events of the Tiama he

00:03:30 --> 00:03:37

says for either Jha or Tom Mattoon Cobra, when there comes that Cobra

00:03:37 --> 00:03:41

The great calamity he's talking about the Day of Judgment. This is

00:03:41 --> 00:03:46

huge. This is nothing that we can even imagine. We believe in it. We

00:03:46 --> 00:03:50

hear about it, we get scared about it. Then Allah subhanaw taala said

00:03:50 --> 00:03:56

Yo Mama yet the duck girl in Santa masa on that day, every man will

00:03:56 --> 00:04:01

remember what effort they made, what they were running after, what

00:04:01 --> 00:04:06

effort, what they strove, what was the goal of their life. Now on

00:04:06 --> 00:04:07

that day,

00:04:08 --> 00:04:11

we will remember Can we change it them?

00:04:13 --> 00:04:13

No,

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

it cannot be changed, okay.

00:04:17 --> 00:04:23

Because now has come the time for recompense. The time for action

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

has ended.

00:04:27 --> 00:04:31

What better is that till Jehoiakim Lima era, Allah subhanaw taala

00:04:31 --> 00:04:35

says and the Hellfire will be displayed openly for people

00:04:35 --> 00:04:41

whoever can see will see it and it will be a scary sight will be a

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

scary sight even the believers will see it and even the believers

00:04:44 --> 00:04:48

have to cross over the bridge. So there is no escape from that

00:04:48 --> 00:04:53

Hellfire that Allah has warned us about that the Hellfire will be

00:04:53 --> 00:04:59

seen by everyone. Now Allah smart Allah describes two categories of

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

people

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

For a moment of ah the same word for the one who did to be on who

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

rebelled who transgressed for a moment taba and what was the sign

00:05:10 --> 00:05:15

of that rebellion? Please listen to this carefully. Well Arthur L

00:05:15 --> 00:05:21

HYAH dunya artha means give preference to the life of destiny

00:05:22 --> 00:05:27

he did not deny the Alpha did not deny the Alpha but gave preference

00:05:27 --> 00:05:30

to the dunya This is what Allah is calling Tolkien

00:05:33 --> 00:05:36

Arthur L hired to do now this was the idea that affected me the most

00:05:36 --> 00:05:38

last one I'll say

00:05:39 --> 00:05:42

because I have to look at my life where am I giving preference to

00:05:44 --> 00:05:49

for in nature Hamer here the Jehane which is one of the names

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51

of the Hellfire is the abode of this person

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

person who preferred the dunya all of his effort preference means

00:05:58 --> 00:06:02

majority of his effort was made for achievements of the dunya

00:06:04 --> 00:06:08

then Allah subhanaw taala gives the mirror opposite pitch

00:06:09 --> 00:06:16

what a man man haha my Palma rugby and as for the one who was always

00:06:16 --> 00:06:21

afraid of standing in front of his law means he believed it was a

00:06:21 --> 00:06:26

reality that I will stand in front of my rub. When a hand NAFSA an

00:06:26 --> 00:06:30

inhaler, and he denied his restraint, his knifes his Lord

00:06:30 --> 00:06:36

desires impure, his loss, and his unlawful inclinations, which was

00:06:36 --> 00:06:40

disobedience. He suppressed them, even though he was tempted, He

00:06:40 --> 00:06:40

suppressed them.

00:06:42 --> 00:06:49

What about this person, for in Jannah, to heal, the Paradise is

00:06:49 --> 00:06:50

the abode of this person.

00:06:53 --> 00:06:57

What is characteristic he was always afraid. One day, I will

00:06:57 --> 00:07:00

stand in front of Allah, it was a reality for him and therefore he

00:07:00 --> 00:07:02

led his life according to that.

00:07:05 --> 00:07:09

And he suppressed he had desires like everybody else, he saw others

00:07:09 --> 00:07:14

enjoying life. In doing things that allowed forbidden, he felt

00:07:14 --> 00:07:19

tempted, but he says no, I will have sub because I have something

00:07:19 --> 00:07:19

greater coming.

00:07:21 --> 00:07:26

Paradise will certainly be there aboard. And then the last five

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

verses of this

00:07:29 --> 00:07:29

surah

00:07:32 --> 00:07:36

is a direct address to the Koresh because the police were asking

00:07:36 --> 00:07:39

questions of the Rasulullah sallallahu so not because they

00:07:39 --> 00:07:43

wanted to know the truth, but just as ridicule. So Allah subhanaw

00:07:43 --> 00:07:43

taala says

00:07:46 --> 00:07:54

yes, aloo Nica Anissa a Jana Musa FEMA and Amin de gras Ihlara

00:07:54 --> 00:08:02

becoming Taha in Nama and Moon the romaine Yaksha unknown yo mama,

00:08:02 --> 00:08:06

yeah, no, no. Let me yell back to her she can do

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

that ends the surah

00:08:11 --> 00:08:16

Yes, Aluna can they? The Kadesh ask you your Rasulullah sallallahu

00:08:16 --> 00:08:22

alayhi salam Anissa about this. Last, the PSA the bringing up the

00:08:22 --> 00:08:23

Day of Judgment.

00:08:25 --> 00:08:27

Or Jana was when will it come? This is

00:08:28 --> 00:08:32

so you said this is also when it when is it? And then Allah

00:08:32 --> 00:08:36

subhanaw taala responds by not saying anything he says FEMA

00:08:36 --> 00:08:37

anthem in Decra

00:08:38 --> 00:08:42

say you Rasul Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam have no knowledge of

00:08:42 --> 00:08:47

it. You have no way of responding to them. Why? Even Rasul Allah

00:08:47 --> 00:08:51

Salah listen does not have knowledge for Allah, Rob pika

00:08:52 --> 00:08:57

monta ha ha. It is only to your Lord belongs that knowledge and

00:08:57 --> 00:09:02

its finality. If we remember in that famous hadith of, of Gibreel,

00:09:02 --> 00:09:05

Allah Salam, one of the questions Gibreel, Allah Salam, in the end

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08

asked after asking about what is Islam? What is Iman he asked, When

00:09:08 --> 00:09:13

is when is when is the PSA, the Day of Judgment? And what is the

00:09:13 --> 00:09:17

response of Rasulullah salAllahu alayhi salam to that? He says the

00:09:17 --> 00:09:21

one who is questioning does not move more than the one who is

00:09:21 --> 00:09:24

answering in other words, I don't know. And you Gibreel don't,

00:09:25 --> 00:09:28

because only Allah knows last month Allah saying, what have you

00:09:28 --> 00:09:32

to do with this ends? And if you remember many times, the people

00:09:32 --> 00:09:35

used to come the Bedouins to Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam they

00:09:35 --> 00:09:40

were innocent they used to when is the day of judgment. And his

00:09:40 --> 00:09:44

response was, what have you prepared for? That's the important

00:09:44 --> 00:09:47

what have you prepared doesn't matter where it is? Because for

00:09:47 --> 00:09:50

most of us, when will the Day of Judgment, start with our debts

00:09:50 --> 00:09:51

which is a little fear.

00:09:53 --> 00:09:58

Even if it comes after 10,000 years, our book closes without

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

let's prepare for

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

have

00:10:01 --> 00:10:05

you locked up the common Taha it's only to your Lord that that

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

knowledge belongs in Nama and Monza Oh, my Yorkshire I knew or

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

messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, your job is only to warn

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

them.

00:10:17 --> 00:10:18

You're an idiot.

00:10:19 --> 00:10:25

We talked about that. You are a warning for those minor Yaksha who

00:10:25 --> 00:10:25

have fear of

00:10:27 --> 00:10:28

who will listen.

00:10:29 --> 00:10:34

And to whom your Morona because on the day that they see that the Day

00:10:34 --> 00:10:35

of Judgment

00:10:38 --> 00:10:43

lum yellow bathroom, Illa Shiota Nava, it will seem to them their

00:10:43 --> 00:10:48

whole life on this earth that they had, whether it was 60 years, 100

00:10:48 --> 00:10:51

years, 40 years, it will seem to them like

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

one evening, one day, that's how short this life I'm saying.

00:10:58 --> 00:11:05

Because we are comparing finite, even if you live 900 years on mine

00:11:05 --> 00:11:09

and 50 years like no Alesana compared to infinity, zero.

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

It will see like that, right now they're enjoying that thing. Oh,

00:11:15 --> 00:11:20

you know, but when they see that, that whole life, our life, it

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22

seemed like a blink of an eye.

00:11:24 --> 00:11:25

So

00:11:26 --> 00:11:32

the whole life is a very brief sojourn, as we said, before, we

00:11:32 --> 00:11:36

are on a tourist visa. We came from Ghana, and that's our

00:11:36 --> 00:11:40

destination, we go back there, Inshallah, we are here for a short

00:11:40 --> 00:11:44

period of time. But this short life will determine our eternal

00:11:44 --> 00:11:45

life that's coming.

00:11:46 --> 00:11:50

So we should not lose focus of that horse was focusing that look,

00:11:50 --> 00:11:53

there is an eternal life coming look, there are angels who will

00:11:53 --> 00:11:56

take your soul Look, there is a day of judgment. Look, don't be

00:11:56 --> 00:12:01

fooled by the power of people like surround, even they came to an

00:12:01 --> 00:12:05

end. And then the eternal life will start and is determined by

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

what you did here.

00:12:07 --> 00:12:08

So just

00:12:09 --> 00:12:13

as we sit at the end of each Surah, and we still have 1015

00:12:13 --> 00:12:18

minutes left here. What are the lessons that we learn? How does it

00:12:18 --> 00:12:22

apply to me? And again, these lessons are just something that I

00:12:22 --> 00:12:25

have derived from it. And you can derive many more lessons if you

00:12:25 --> 00:12:30

sit and reflect. And I'm sure you you have, but some of what I've

00:12:30 --> 00:12:34

derived number one is that death is real.

00:12:36 --> 00:12:40

And it is inevitable, no matter what you do. And this is not about

00:12:40 --> 00:12:44

you know, depression, depression because it's a reality. It's it's

00:12:44 --> 00:12:49

a stage it's not an end. It's it's a gate that we passed.

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

Just like we came into this earth we will leave this earth to the

00:12:54 --> 00:12:57

next life the preserve and then the aka the real life that comes

00:12:58 --> 00:13:02

and only Allah subhanaw taala has determined how long we are going

00:13:02 --> 00:13:06

to be here. Because Allah subhanaw taala says in Surah Lachman Mata

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

did enough to murder a taxi Bogota. Mata did enough soon be a

00:13:11 --> 00:13:17

year into mode that no soul knows what is going to earn tomorrow and

00:13:17 --> 00:13:22

no soul knows where on earth it is going to die. When it is going.

00:13:23 --> 00:13:28

In Aloha Lehmann hubby. Indeed, Allah is the One who is the all

00:13:28 --> 00:13:29

law and all the way

00:13:30 --> 00:13:35

to this is a fact we have to know. And therefore, we come to the

00:13:35 --> 00:13:39

Hadith of the prophets, Allah not us. One day Rasulullah sallallahu

00:13:39 --> 00:13:43

alayhi salam to this young companion, the son of, of Omar ibn

00:13:43 --> 00:13:47

Al Khattab Sayidina, Omar Abdullah photogra, the Allah Han, his son,

00:13:47 --> 00:13:51

Abdullah, Muhammad, the famous companion, who is known for many

00:13:51 --> 00:13:54

things, but what he is most known for that he would imitate

00:13:54 --> 00:13:57

Rasulullah Salallahu Salam in every detail. So one day Rasul

00:13:57 --> 00:14:00

Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam grabs him by the shoulder just like

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

this.

00:14:02 --> 00:14:03

And he says to him,

00:14:04 --> 00:14:10

couldn't fit dunya Anika very or Arbor Sami be in this dunya in

00:14:10 --> 00:14:13

this world. Like you're a stranger. You don't belong here,

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

tourist visa

00:14:15 --> 00:14:16

or

00:14:17 --> 00:14:19

arborescent. Bill, you're a traveler.

00:14:21 --> 00:14:24

Treat this world like that. This is not your permanent residence.

00:14:25 --> 00:14:29

Then abdulai normal added his own to it. He said to the people who

00:14:29 --> 00:14:32

inherited this hadith which is in Buhari, he said

00:14:33 --> 00:14:35

if you see the evening

00:14:36 --> 00:14:39

don't expect to be alive in the morning. You don't know. And if

00:14:39 --> 00:14:40

you see the morning,

00:14:42 --> 00:14:45

don't expect to be alive in the evening. He said take from your

00:14:45 --> 00:14:49

health, for your sickness. In other words while you are healthy,

00:14:50 --> 00:14:52

take advantage of that because when you're sick, you may not be

00:14:52 --> 00:14:55

able to do what you want to do in terms of worshiping and setting up

00:14:55 --> 00:14:59

your offer. And he said take from your life for your death. In other

00:14:59 --> 00:15:00

words, you

00:15:00 --> 00:15:03

Use your life in a way that when you die, it will be a value.

00:15:05 --> 00:15:09

So, we have to prepare for that today without being depressed

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

about it. Because if we prepare for it properly, that no longer

00:15:15 --> 00:15:18

becomes anything depressing it becomes something to look forward

00:15:18 --> 00:15:22

to. And we're going to talk about that Hadith also hollyrock The

00:15:22 --> 00:15:26

Allah Han Karim Allah who said that the hereafter the author is

00:15:26 --> 00:15:28

traveling towards us through

00:15:30 --> 00:15:36

and he says, and this life is traveling away from us. We're

00:15:36 --> 00:15:41
