we praise Allah subhanaw taala and we send peace and blessings on the

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

best of his creation.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:24

Our leader, our Imam, our beloved Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa

00:01:24 --> 00:01:29

sallam, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to increase us in beneficial

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

alien knowledge that brings us closer to him.

00:01:33 --> 00:01:37

Do not let our hearts swerved from the right path.

00:01:39 --> 00:01:42

We ask Allah subhanaw taala to show us truth as the truth and

00:01:42 --> 00:01:48

help us to follow it and show us falsehood as falsehood and help us

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

to stay away from it.

00:01:51 --> 00:01:56

We ask Allah subhanaw taala to show His mercy to us through the

00:01:56 --> 00:02:04

Quran. And to make the Quran An imam, a leader for us full of

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

light and guidance and Rama.

00:02:07 --> 00:02:12

We ask Allah subhanaw taala to remind us through the Quran, when

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

we forget

00:02:15 --> 00:02:20

to teach us that which we are ignorant of, and to

00:02:22 --> 00:02:27

bestow on us the ability to read it day and night. And to make it

00:02:27 --> 00:02:32

an evidence in our favor on the day of judgment and not against

00:02:32 --> 00:02:33

us. I mean

00:02:34 --> 00:02:40

so the surah that we are inshallah embarking on today is called Surah

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

Al

00:02:43 --> 00:02:48

which is the 56th surah and is made up of 96 eyelets.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

So we'll see how much of that we can cover today.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:59

And as we've been going through the Quran, we've been going

00:02:59 --> 00:03:04

through the Macan Quran, this is also another makan surah. And

00:03:04 --> 00:03:09

therefore, as we have mentioned before, short iets read make

00:03:10 --> 00:03:14

dealing with some main themes don't feed of Allah subhanaw taala

00:03:14 --> 00:03:20

or rissalah messenger ship and the messages that came through the Day

00:03:20 --> 00:03:24

of Judgment Jana now, the end of what's coming.

00:03:25 --> 00:03:30

So that's going to be the general theme of this. And this surah

00:03:30 --> 00:03:36

follows Surah or Rockman, which we have covered a few months ago. And

00:03:36 --> 00:03:40

it sort of almost seems like a continuation and it complements

00:03:40 --> 00:03:43

Surah Rahman and we will see how it does that.

00:03:46 --> 00:03:49

So there are certain special things about the surah that are

00:03:49 --> 00:03:50

mentioned in the Hadith.

00:03:52 --> 00:03:56

As you know, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was a youthful 63

00:03:56 --> 00:03:58

years old when he passed away Salalah

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

he had very few white or gray hair. In fact, they could count it

00:04:06 --> 00:04:10

like 13 or 17 or 19. And that's what the Sahaba used to sit and

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

look and say how many gray hair does he have? So one day so you're

00:04:14 --> 00:04:18

gonna have the Allah one will record us a dip?

00:04:19 --> 00:04:24

Said to Rasul Allah said Ya rasool Allah, you are becoming gray.

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29

He felt you know what Allah has never been white hair.

00:04:30 --> 00:04:38

So he said to say Abu Bakr Siddiq, he said Surah Hood Awatea are more

00:04:38 --> 00:04:46

Salaat Amaya Tessa alone and in a sham Sukhumvit have made me gray.

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

In another narration, he said Surah Hood and it sisters have

00:04:53 --> 00:04:54

turned my hair gray.

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57

So what is common in the surahs is

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

talking about

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

The Day of Judgment and the severity of it, that follow suit

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

allah sallallahu alayhi salam, it was very burdensome, it was heavy,

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

to to listen to these Iots and what it's going to be, obviously,

00:05:16 --> 00:05:19

his hair wouldn't be turning great about himself.

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

His Gray was turning here because of concern for the OMA what they

00:05:24 --> 00:05:28

would go through on the day of judgment and how severe it's going

00:05:28 --> 00:05:28

to be.

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

So that's one narration about this. And then there is another

00:05:34 --> 00:05:39

narration, that one day during his Khilafah you have Mandra, the

00:05:39 --> 00:05:45

Allah on the third Khalifa went to visit the major companion who was

00:05:45 --> 00:05:51

an expert in the Quran by the name of Abdullah Al Masud, through

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

which all of the Hanafi madhhab comes,

00:05:54 --> 00:06:00

who was in his terminal illness. He was very, very sick, about to

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

die, so the Khalifa went out of respect to visit him.

00:06:05 --> 00:06:10

And he said to Abdullah Masood, should we call

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

the doctor for you?

00:06:14 --> 00:06:19

He said, The doctor is the one who has sent this affliction to me. In

00:06:19 --> 00:06:22

other words, the only one who can cure is Allah and he already

00:06:22 --> 00:06:22

knows.

00:06:23 --> 00:06:24

Then they said,

00:06:25 --> 00:06:29

Should we set up is sort of a fund

00:06:30 --> 00:06:34

or was he for for your daughters, he had some daughters.

00:06:35 --> 00:06:39

He said, There is no need for that, because I have taught them

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

Surah Alba

00:06:43 --> 00:06:48

and I heard Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam say that whoever recite

00:06:48 --> 00:06:53

Surah, Al worked out every night, will never be afflicted by poverty

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

and need.

00:06:56 --> 00:07:00

And there's another narration of the fifth righteous Khalifa, Omar

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

bin Abdullah Aziz was the Khalifa. And he was married to Fatima, who

00:07:07 --> 00:07:13

was the princess and all rights because from she was from that

00:07:14 --> 00:07:18

they by that time they become kings. So she was a princess and

00:07:18 --> 00:07:21

they were very, very wealthy. And in some narration that on every

00:07:21 --> 00:07:27

birthday, they used to wear her in pearls and jewels on the scale and

00:07:27 --> 00:07:28

whatever it was given to the poor.

00:07:30 --> 00:07:36

When Ahmad bin Abdulaziz one day, I'm not wanting to give him Tofik

00:07:36 --> 00:07:38

he called for tomorrow the Allah

00:07:39 --> 00:07:44

Rahmatullah Allah, his wife and said, Fatima, Allah has given us

00:07:44 --> 00:07:49

everything. You know, why don't we give everything away? She said,

00:07:49 --> 00:07:53

Now this is a princess Jesus as you wish. So he gave everything

00:07:53 --> 00:07:53

away.

00:07:57 --> 00:08:01

Everything away this is the Khalifa. Soon after that Kim Reed

00:08:03 --> 00:08:07

and Fatima came to Omar bin Abdulaziz and said Can I have some

00:08:07 --> 00:08:10

money to buy new clothes for the children?

00:08:12 --> 00:08:17

So, Omar bin Abdulaziz called his treasurer and said

00:08:18 --> 00:08:19

Do I have any money

00:08:20 --> 00:08:25

to buy children for eat plots for my children? He said yeah Khalifa

00:08:25 --> 00:08:30

your, your monthly salary has already been given. There's

00:08:30 --> 00:08:31

nothing here.

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

So he said, can I borrow some money? This is the Khalifa.

00:08:39 --> 00:08:43

So the treasurer was also trained by Omar bin Abdulaziz. He said

00:08:43 --> 00:08:44

yes, you can borrow some money.

00:08:46 --> 00:08:49

But do you have a guarantee on your life from Allah that you will

00:08:49 --> 00:08:50

be able to pay it back?

00:08:53 --> 00:08:57

So Omar bin Abdulaziz said, leave it he said Fatima. Tell the

00:08:57 --> 00:08:58

children to have some

00:08:59 --> 00:09:02

new clothes for it this our children should know what it is

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04

like you just take it for granted.

00:09:06 --> 00:09:10

When he was dying, his brother in law who was going to be qualified

00:09:10 --> 00:09:14

at some point who was very sort of corrupt lot of money changing came

00:09:14 --> 00:09:17

to me said You know, you've really made bad decisions in your life.

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

You have 11 or 12 children, that you're leaving them nothing.

00:09:22 --> 00:09:25

Can I give them some of my money? He said No, keep your money.

00:09:26 --> 00:09:30

Because your money is not pure. He's telling his brother and he

00:09:30 --> 00:09:32

said that they are going to starve. He said no, they're not

00:09:32 --> 00:09:37

going to starve. Because I taught them what sutra

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

now, our youngsters shouldn't get the idea that instead of doing any

00:09:43 --> 00:09:47

work, I'm going to get rich reciting Surah RP every night.

00:09:47 --> 00:09:51

That's not what is meant by this, that Allah subhanaw taala will put

00:09:51 --> 00:09:55

enough Baraka in your life that you will not be needy number two,

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

the surah will give you what's called a nap which means

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

contentment with whatever you have. So you will never feel

00:10:03 --> 00:10:07

needy, that, Oh, I need this, I need this, I don't have this. So

00:10:07 --> 00:10:12

there is a lot of Panama. And the meaning of all of this is to

00:10:12 --> 00:10:16

encourage us to read the surah. Every night, if we can

00:10:17 --> 00:10:20

either memorize it or read it, if you read it every night, guess

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

what's going to happen in a few months,

00:10:23 --> 00:10:24

you would have memorized it.

00:10:26 --> 00:10:30

So therefore, because of this further aisle, this is one of the

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

most frequently read sources.

00:10:35 --> 00:10:40

So the themes are in the beginning, Allah subhanaw taala

00:10:40 --> 00:10:44

talks about Allah Wacka, which means the inevitable event that is

00:10:44 --> 00:10:45

the day of judgment.

00:10:47 --> 00:10:51

And Allah subhanaw taala talks about the division of people into

00:10:51 --> 00:10:55

three groups. Remember, he said it's complimentary to Surah

00:10:55 --> 00:10:59

Rahman. How many groups were there in Surah Rahman. If you remember

00:11:02 --> 00:11:04

three of the guests what were the three groups?

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10

These are the right hand people in surah. Rahman.

00:11:13 --> 00:11:18

There were two grades two grades in Jana. Remember the higher grade

00:11:18 --> 00:11:23

and the second grade, and one of Jana, that's what was mentioned

00:11:23 --> 00:11:27

three grades. So say three grades I mentioned. Yeah. So three groups

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

of people Allah will talk about and he talks about the recompense

00:11:30 --> 00:11:35

the Jezza what they are given, each group is going to talk about

00:11:35 --> 00:11:39

their levels. And then after that, Allah subhanaw taala talks about

00:11:39 --> 00:11:44

his power and his creativity and the signs in his creation, to make

00:11:44 --> 00:11:49

people understand who Allah subhanaw taala is because the main

00:11:49 --> 00:11:53

focus is that people are denying that this event is going to

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

happen, that there is going to be a day of judgment there is going

00:11:56 --> 00:11:59

to be resurrection, Allah will raise everybody up. So Allah

00:11:59 --> 00:12:03

subhanaw taala talks about his creative power, and therefore his

00:12:03 --> 00:12:08

ability to recreate and resurrect everybody for the PA. Then Allah

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

subhanaw taala talks about, briefly about the Quran itself,

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

the revelation of the Quran, which is also what they were denying.

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

And then Allah Samantha in the end talks about death, and the

00:12:19 --> 00:12:24

destination and destination of the three groups that were mentioned

00:12:24 --> 00:12:29

earlier. The three groups are two groups of believers, Saba Kuhn,

00:12:29 --> 00:12:32

the foreigners, you know the people who are ahead of everybody,

00:12:33 --> 00:12:37

then the average believer and then the disbelievers so people have

00:12:37 --> 00:12:40

the right people have the left and Assad upon asylum.

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

So whenever we

00:12:45 --> 00:12:49

read the Quran, there should be some, it should be interactive,

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

our hearts should respond and interact with these eyelets when

00:12:54 --> 00:12:58

we are told about these groups, is not for the pugs. Oh, okay, they

00:12:58 --> 00:13:01

are going to be three groups. So I will check off you know, there are

00:13:01 --> 00:13:05

three groups one this one is no, the question is, where do I want

00:13:05 --> 00:13:09

to be? That's the whole purpose of it. What characteristics do I

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

have? Where do I fit in my life right now. So we need to interact

00:13:14 --> 00:13:18

with the Quran, reading it, understanding it, and then

00:13:18 --> 00:13:21

applying what we read, you know, it has to come it's not enough to

00:13:21 --> 00:13:23

just accumulate knowledge.

00:13:24 --> 00:13:27

So now we start with this introduction, the beginning the

00:13:27 --> 00:13:34

first six ayat which talk about this event that Aloka that is

00:13:34 --> 00:13:37

going to occur, which is essentially the destruction of the

00:13:37 --> 00:13:42

earth. And then the resurrection, Allah will raise everyone how old

00:13:42 --> 00:13:46

the biller he ministry on your Raji

00:13:47 --> 00:13:53

Bismillah your rock man you rock me either wrap it up.

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

Lisa Lisa party haircare diva, coffee, Dr. Roth

00:14:01 --> 00:14:09

either are rejecting or do Raja boo certain jiba lupus that cannot

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

help.

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

But,

00:14:15 --> 00:14:17

so, Allah subhanaw taala says,

00:14:19 --> 00:14:20

either work until Wacka.

00:14:22 --> 00:14:27

Wacka means something that falls that happens, that happens quickly

00:14:27 --> 00:14:33

and suddenly either recart al Wacka Wacka is the event which is

00:14:33 --> 00:14:37

the Day of Judgment, the destruction of this planet and the

00:14:37 --> 00:14:41

universe and the whole system that Allah has created, that is the

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

workout Allah subhanaw taala says either walk out and when that

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

event happens when that thing drops, you know, when it happens,

00:14:51 --> 00:14:56

it happens suddenly, and it also implies that it is this is

00:14:56 --> 00:14:59

mentioned is rakaat means in the past 10

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

As if it has already happened. Because what is implied when Allah

00:15:04 --> 00:15:08

subhanaw taala uses past tense for future events means it is certain

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

that it is going to happen.

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

So, Allah Subhana Allah is telling us that this is an event that will

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

definitely happen as if it has already happened. And it is

00:15:20 --> 00:15:24

irreversible. It's not something like okay, it was going to happen,

00:15:24 --> 00:15:27

but it got deflected, you know, there was a hurricane coming, but

00:15:27 --> 00:15:30

it took a turn towards the Atlantic, it's not like this is

00:15:30 --> 00:15:35

going to happen. So Allah subhanaw taala says, Now when we use the

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

word either waka till this era is used before something terrible

00:15:40 --> 00:15:45

that's going to happen. It's like saying, when that event happens

00:15:45 --> 00:15:50

when so it puts scared and that's one way. Another way is if you

00:15:50 --> 00:15:55

read the two Ayat together in our cattle rakia lace, I love it Okay,

00:15:55 --> 00:16:00

caliber, then it means when that event happens, nobody will be then

00:16:00 --> 00:16:03

becomes an adverb. When that happens, nobody will be able to

00:16:03 --> 00:16:07

deny it, there will be no denying yet. So that's another way of

00:16:07 --> 00:16:11

reading. Now, there's a third way of reading, if suppose you did it

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

continuous from Surah. Rahman, because that ends with that. So

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

Allah subhanaw taala is telling you this reward and that reward

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

and that's all of that is going to happen and the next day is either

00:16:21 --> 00:16:24

evocative. That means all of that will happen when this event

00:16:24 --> 00:16:28

occurs. Okay, so there are different ways of looking at it.

00:16:28 --> 00:16:30

But it all brings us back to the same thing

00:16:32 --> 00:16:39

that this great event is going to help. Now some of our scholars in

00:16:39 --> 00:16:45

RGB and others who are very spiritually oriented, they look at

00:16:45 --> 00:16:48

it in a different way. This is the general understanding they said,

00:16:49 --> 00:16:54

he said, that this can also mean that when that spiritual awakening

00:16:54 --> 00:16:54

happens to you,

00:16:56 --> 00:17:03

that event, then all of what comes through everything changes. Okay,

00:17:03 --> 00:17:08

that's just another ishara in it. Then Allah Samantha Z Lisa Leyva

00:17:08 --> 00:17:13

it had Khadija that no one will be able to deny it because it's

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

happened.

00:17:14 --> 00:17:18

Okay. And this is especially for those because while this was being

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

revealed in Makkah, people were denying this not going to happen

00:17:21 --> 00:17:24

they were making jokes that you know, how can it be that we become

00:17:24 --> 00:17:26

Dustin bones how we become back? How is everybody going to come

00:17:26 --> 00:17:29

back? How is the system you're saying the skies will go and the

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

sun will go and oceans will go and mountains Wow, that's not gonna

00:17:32 --> 00:17:36

happen. So Allah subhanaw taala, saying all those who deny will

00:17:36 --> 00:17:38

never be able to deny it when they see it.

00:17:40 --> 00:17:45

For failure to raffia means to bring down Rafa means to raise up.

00:17:45 --> 00:17:50

So Allah subhanaw taala, saying this event will lower and it will

00:17:50 --> 00:17:56

raise and then he doesn't describe what is being lowered. And what is

00:17:56 --> 00:18:01

being raised. means this is an open anything you can apply to

00:18:01 --> 00:18:04

that. So the common way to understand what most people

00:18:04 --> 00:18:09

understand is that some people, the status of some people will be

00:18:09 --> 00:18:14

brought down, for example, somebody was very big and

00:18:14 --> 00:18:19

connected and, you know, powerful and rich and everything else.

00:18:21 --> 00:18:25

On that day, this person might be brought way down, whereas someone

00:18:25 --> 00:18:30

in this dunya nobody knew them, they were considered nothing. Yet

00:18:30 --> 00:18:33

with Allah their status was such that now they are brought up. So

00:18:33 --> 00:18:37

one understanding of that it will bring some down and raise up is

00:18:37 --> 00:18:41

according to the status of the person with Allah, someone will be

00:18:41 --> 00:18:44

brought down there's a Hadith of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam

00:18:44 --> 00:18:48

about a big man, big man both physically big, weighed heavy, and

00:18:48 --> 00:18:52

had lots of power. And then he said on the day of judgment, He

00:18:52 --> 00:18:56

will not be worth the wing of mosquito the same thing. Because

00:18:56 --> 00:18:59

the word in the dunya by dunya standard is very different than

00:18:59 --> 00:19:04

the word Tov with Allah. So similarly, there's another Hadith

00:19:04 --> 00:19:08

that a person who nobody pays attention to he has nothing but

00:19:08 --> 00:19:13

when he raises his hand Allah subhanaw taala does not allow what

00:19:13 --> 00:19:17

he is asked to not happen. So there are people like that.

00:19:18 --> 00:19:21

Now what else can you what can else what because it's open What

00:19:21 --> 00:19:26

else can be so people will be elevated to Jana ranks in Jannah

00:19:26 --> 00:19:30

and they will be lowered into the depths of Jana raising and

00:19:30 --> 00:19:34

lowering. Similarly, we have scales on the Daraja somebody's

00:19:34 --> 00:19:39

scale will be raised. Somebody's scale will be lowered. Similarly,

00:19:39 --> 00:19:41

things that are high

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

Sky's gone. Lord.

00:19:47 --> 00:19:53

stars, moon, all of that mountains high gone down. Things Lord, what

00:19:53 --> 00:19:56

are under the ground that will be raised up? What is that?

00:19:59 --> 00:20:00

Most important

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

In the people who are going to undergo hisab they will lot now

00:20:03 --> 00:20:07

you're raised appraised for his help. So all of those things can

00:20:07 --> 00:20:08

happen.

00:20:09 --> 00:20:15

Because Allah subhanaw taala will recalibrate the whole system

00:20:15 --> 00:20:19

according to the truth, not how the worldly powers work.
