What as you cannot allow it to who I know

we praise Allah subhanaw taala and we send peace and blessings on the
best of his creation.
Our leader, our Imam, our beloved Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to increase us in beneficial
alien knowledge that brings us closer to him.
Do not let our hearts swerved from the right path.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to show us truth as the truth and
help us to follow it and show us falsehood as falsehood and help us
to stay away from it.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to show His mercy to us through the
Quran. And to make the Quran An imam, a leader for us full of
light and guidance and Rama.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to remind us through the Quran, when
we forget
to teach us that which we are ignorant of, and to
bestow on us the ability to read it day and night. And to make it
an evidence in our favor on the day of judgment and not against
us. I mean
so the surah that we are inshallah embarking on today is called Surah
Al
which is the 56th surah and is made up of 96 eyelets.
So we'll see how much of that we can cover today.
And as we've been going through the Quran, we've been going
through the Macan Quran, this is also another makan surah. And
therefore, as we have mentioned before, short iets read make
dealing with some main themes don't feed of Allah subhanaw taala
or rissalah messenger ship and the messages that came through the Day
of Judgment Jana now, the end of what's coming.
So that's going to be the general theme of this. And this surah
follows Surah or Rockman, which we have covered a few months ago. And
it sort of almost seems like a continuation and it complements
Surah Rahman and we will see how it does that.
So there are certain special things about the surah that are
mentioned in the Hadith.
As you know, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was a youthful 63
years old when he passed away Salalah
he had very few white or gray hair. In fact, they could count it
like 13 or 17 or 19. And that's what the Sahaba used to sit and
look and say how many gray hair does he have? So one day so you're
gonna have the Allah one will record us a dip?
Said to Rasul Allah said Ya rasool Allah, you are becoming gray.
He felt you know what Allah has never been white hair.
So he said to say Abu Bakr Siddiq, he said Surah Hood Awatea are more
Salaat Amaya Tessa alone and in a sham Sukhumvit have made me gray.
In another narration, he said Surah Hood and it sisters have
turned my hair gray.
So what is common in the surahs is
talking about
The Day of Judgment and the severity of it, that follow suit
allah sallallahu alayhi salam, it was very burdensome, it was heavy,
to to listen to these Iots and what it's going to be, obviously,
his hair wouldn't be turning great about himself.
His Gray was turning here because of concern for the OMA what they
would go through on the day of judgment and how severe it's going
to be.
So that's one narration about this. And then there is another
narration, that one day during his Khilafah you have Mandra, the
Allah on the third Khalifa went to visit the major companion who was
an expert in the Quran by the name of Abdullah Al Masud, through
which all of the Hanafi madhhab comes,
who was in his terminal illness. He was very, very sick, about to
die, so the Khalifa went out of respect to visit him.
And he said to Abdullah Masood, should we call
the doctor for you?
He said, The doctor is the one who has sent this affliction to me. In
other words, the only one who can cure is Allah and he already
knows.
Then they said,
Should we set up is sort of a fund
or was he for for your daughters, he had some daughters.
He said, There is no need for that, because I have taught them
Surah Alba
and I heard Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam say that whoever recite
Surah, Al worked out every night, will never be afflicted by poverty
and need.
And there's another narration of the fifth righteous Khalifa, Omar
bin Abdullah Aziz was the Khalifa. And he was married to Fatima, who
was the princess and all rights because from she was from that
they by that time they become kings. So she was a princess and
they were very, very wealthy. And in some narration that on every
birthday, they used to wear her in pearls and jewels on the scale and
whatever it was given to the poor.
When Ahmad bin Abdulaziz one day, I'm not wanting to give him Tofik
he called for tomorrow the Allah
Rahmatullah Allah, his wife and said, Fatima, Allah has given us
everything. You know, why don't we give everything away? She said,
Now this is a princess Jesus as you wish. So he gave everything
away.
Everything away this is the Khalifa. Soon after that Kim Reed
and Fatima came to Omar bin Abdulaziz and said Can I have some
money to buy new clothes for the children?
So, Omar bin Abdulaziz called his treasurer and said
Do I have any money
to buy children for eat plots for my children? He said yeah Khalifa
your, your monthly salary has already been given. There's
nothing here.
So he said, can I borrow some money? This is the Khalifa.
So the treasurer was also trained by Omar bin Abdulaziz. He said
yes, you can borrow some money.
But do you have a guarantee on your life from Allah that you will
be able to pay it back?
So Omar bin Abdulaziz said, leave it he said Fatima. Tell the
children to have some
new clothes for it this our children should know what it is
like you just take it for granted.
When he was dying, his brother in law who was going to be qualified
at some point who was very sort of corrupt lot of money changing came
to me said You know, you've really made bad decisions in your life.
You have 11 or 12 children, that you're leaving them nothing.
Can I give them some of my money? He said No, keep your money.
Because your money is not pure. He's telling his brother and he
said that they are going to starve. He said no, they're not
going to starve. Because I taught them what sutra
now, our youngsters shouldn't get the idea that instead of doing any
work, I'm going to get rich reciting Surah RP every night.
That's not what is meant by this, that Allah subhanaw taala will put
enough Baraka in your life that you will not be needy number two,
the surah will give you what's called a nap which means
contentment with whatever you have. So you will never feel
needy, that, Oh, I need this, I need this, I don't have this. So
there is a lot of Panama. And the meaning of all of this is to
encourage us to read the surah. Every night, if we can
either memorize it or read it, if you read it every night, guess
what's going to happen in a few months,
you would have memorized it.
So therefore, because of this further aisle, this is one of the
most frequently read sources.
So the themes are in the beginning, Allah subhanaw taala
talks about Allah Wacka, which means the inevitable event that is
the day of judgment.
And Allah subhanaw taala talks about the division of people into
three groups. Remember, he said it's complimentary to Surah
Rahman. How many groups were there in Surah Rahman. If you remember
three of the guests what were the three groups?
These are the right hand people in surah. Rahman.
There were two grades two grades in Jana. Remember the higher grade
and the second grade, and one of Jana, that's what was mentioned
three grades. So say three grades I mentioned. Yeah. So three groups
of people Allah will talk about and he talks about the recompense
the Jezza what they are given, each group is going to talk about
their levels. And then after that, Allah subhanaw taala talks about
his power and his creativity and the signs in his creation, to make
people understand who Allah subhanaw taala is because the main
focus is that people are denying that this event is going to
happen, that there is going to be a day of judgment there is going
to be resurrection, Allah will raise everybody up. So Allah
subhanaw taala talks about his creative power, and therefore his
ability to recreate and resurrect everybody for the PA. Then Allah
subhanaw taala talks about, briefly about the Quran itself,
the revelation of the Quran, which is also what they were denying.
And then Allah Samantha in the end talks about death, and the
destination and destination of the three groups that were mentioned
earlier. The three groups are two groups of believers, Saba Kuhn,
the foreigners, you know the people who are ahead of everybody,
then the average believer and then the disbelievers so people have
the right people have the left and Assad upon asylum.
So whenever we
read the Quran, there should be some, it should be interactive,
our hearts should respond and interact with these eyelets when
we are told about these groups, is not for the pugs. Oh, okay, they
are going to be three groups. So I will check off you know, there are
three groups one this one is no, the question is, where do I want
to be? That's the whole purpose of it. What characteristics do I
have? Where do I fit in my life right now. So we need to interact
with the Quran, reading it, understanding it, and then
applying what we read, you know, it has to come it's not enough to
just accumulate knowledge.
So now we start with this introduction, the beginning the
first six ayat which talk about this event that Aloka that is
going to occur, which is essentially the destruction of the
earth. And then the resurrection, Allah will raise everyone how old
the biller he ministry on your Raji
Bismillah your rock man you rock me either wrap it up.
Lisa Lisa party haircare diva, coffee, Dr. Roth
either are rejecting or do Raja boo certain jiba lupus that cannot
help.
But,
so, Allah subhanaw taala says,
either work until Wacka.
Wacka means something that falls that happens, that happens quickly
and suddenly either recart al Wacka Wacka is the event which is
the Day of Judgment, the destruction of this planet and the
universe and the whole system that Allah has created, that is the
workout Allah subhanaw taala says either walk out and when that
event happens when that thing drops, you know, when it happens,
it happens suddenly, and it also implies that it is this is
mentioned is rakaat means in the past 10
As if it has already happened. Because what is implied when Allah
subhanaw taala uses past tense for future events means it is certain
that it is going to happen.
So, Allah Subhana Allah is telling us that this is an event that will
definitely happen as if it has already happened. And it is
irreversible. It's not something like okay, it was going to happen,
but it got deflected, you know, there was a hurricane coming, but
it took a turn towards the Atlantic, it's not like this is
going to happen. So Allah subhanaw taala says, Now when we use the
word either waka till this era is used before something terrible
that's going to happen. It's like saying, when that event happens
when so it puts scared and that's one way. Another way is if you
read the two Ayat together in our cattle rakia lace, I love it Okay,
caliber, then it means when that event happens, nobody will be then
becomes an adverb. When that happens, nobody will be able to
deny it, there will be no denying yet. So that's another way of
reading. Now, there's a third way of reading, if suppose you did it
continuous from Surah. Rahman, because that ends with that. So
Allah subhanaw taala is telling you this reward and that reward
and that's all of that is going to happen and the next day is either
evocative. That means all of that will happen when this event
occurs. Okay, so there are different ways of looking at it.
But it all brings us back to the same thing
that this great event is going to help. Now some of our scholars in
RGB and others who are very spiritually oriented, they look at
it in a different way. This is the general understanding they said,
he said, that this can also mean that when that spiritual awakening
happens to you,
that event, then all of what comes through everything changes. Okay,
that's just another ishara in it. Then Allah Samantha Z Lisa Leyva
it had Khadija that no one will be able to deny it because it's
happened.
Okay. And this is especially for those because while this was being
revealed in Makkah, people were denying this not going to happen
they were making jokes that you know, how can it be that we become
Dustin bones how we become back? How is everybody going to come
back? How is the system you're saying the skies will go and the
sun will go and oceans will go and mountains Wow, that's not gonna
happen. So Allah subhanaw taala, saying all those who deny will
never be able to deny it when they see it.
For failure to raffia means to bring down Rafa means to raise up.
So Allah subhanaw taala, saying this event will lower and it will
raise and then he doesn't describe what is being lowered. And what is
being raised. means this is an open anything you can apply to
that. So the common way to understand what most people
understand is that some people, the status of some people will be
brought down, for example, somebody was very big and
connected and, you know, powerful and rich and everything else.
On that day, this person might be brought way down, whereas someone
in this dunya nobody knew them, they were considered nothing. Yet
with Allah their status was such that now they are brought up. So
one understanding of that it will bring some down and raise up is
according to the status of the person with Allah, someone will be
brought down there's a Hadith of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam
about a big man, big man both physically big, weighed heavy, and
had lots of power. And then he said on the day of judgment, He
will not be worth the wing of mosquito the same thing. Because
the word in the dunya by dunya standard is very different than
the word Tov with Allah. So similarly, there's another Hadith
that a person who nobody pays attention to he has nothing but
when he raises his hand Allah subhanaw taala does not allow what
he is asked to not happen. So there are people like that.
Now what else can you what can else what because it's open What
else can be so people will be elevated to Jana ranks in Jannah
and they will be lowered into the depths of Jana raising and
lowering. Similarly, we have scales on the Daraja somebody's
scale will be raised. Somebody's scale will be lowered. Similarly,
things that are high
Sky's gone. Lord.
stars, moon, all of that mountains high gone down. Things Lord, what
are under the ground that will be raised up? What is that?
Most important
In the people who are going to undergo hisab they will lot now
you're raised appraised for his help. So all of those things can
happen.
Because Allah subhanaw taala will recalibrate the whole system
according to the truth, not how the worldly powers work.
