Salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

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

Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah while he

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12

was on the human Willa

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

rubbish Iraklis surgery where your cilia MRI of Bhutan melissani

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

We praise Allah subhanaw taala

00:00:40 --> 00:00:46

as he deserves to be praised and glorified, and we send peace and

00:00:46 --> 00:00:52

blessings on the best of his creation. So you had Hamid salah,

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

and he was salam and his noble family.

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

We ask Allah subhanaw taala to help us in our study of His words,

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

His Kalam

00:01:03 --> 00:01:08

to open our hearts, because this is not a study of academia, to

00:01:08 --> 00:01:14

pass exams. It is something that we want embedded something the

00:01:14 --> 00:01:18

words of ALLAH to penetrate our hearts so that our hearts perceive

00:01:18 --> 00:01:25

it, as Allah subhanaw taala willed it for us. So that we understand

00:01:25 --> 00:01:29

the big picture, that we understand who we are, and why we

00:01:29 --> 00:01:34

are here, and what we need to do to be successful with Allah

00:01:34 --> 00:01:38

subhanaw taala. So we ask Allah subhanaw taala to open the hearing

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

channels of our hearts

00:01:42 --> 00:01:46

and the understanding channels of our hearts and to show us truth as

00:01:46 --> 00:01:52

the truth and to help us to follow it and to show us falsehood,

00:01:52 --> 00:01:58

bottle as wrong. And to help us to identify it and stay away from it.

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

So the surah that we have planned today, and I'm sorry for the delay

00:02:05 --> 00:02:08

beyond our control today. But anyway,

00:02:09 --> 00:02:15

we start with surah number 100 of the Quran, which is an idiot

00:02:17 --> 00:02:21

Surah idea is a maken Surah which means it was revealed before the

00:02:21 --> 00:02:26

Hijra of the Prophet salallahu Salam in an environment where

00:02:26 --> 00:02:32

Islam was being presented and being rejected by the people in

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

power, which was the Quraysh the noble

00:02:37 --> 00:02:42

nobility of the Pradesh and the majority of people and the handful

00:02:42 --> 00:02:48

of believers were being tortured and rejected and ridiculed and the

00:02:48 --> 00:02:52

Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam likewise, was feeling this

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

difficulty.

00:02:56 --> 00:03:01

So Allah subhanaw taala revealed this surah in that background, so

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

what I will do first is read the surah and then I'll read one

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

translation of the surah so we have a background and then we'll

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

start with

00:03:12 --> 00:03:18

how the Himalayas show you upon your regime. This middle man

00:03:18 --> 00:03:26

you're rocking the well idea to your Baba fell Moria the powder

00:03:26 --> 00:03:32

fell movie around here so the Thornaby Napa fair was shot on OBE

00:03:32 --> 00:03:41

Jana in Berlin. sanel Europe be like canoe they were in Hana,

00:03:41 --> 00:03:52

Nicola che he was in hula for Bill Hoya de Lucia the FLIR demo serum

00:03:52 --> 00:04:00

Belfield Cobo, a wholesaler man I feel so Oh, in our OB boom they

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

him Yo my will love Bobby.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:11

So the cologne or the read a translation? Allah subhanaw taala

00:04:11 --> 00:04:18

says he swears takes an oath by the Chargers panting This is

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

horses at a gallop going into war, snorting and panting because of

00:04:25 --> 00:04:32

straining, galloping and Striking sparks, and by the Raiders reading

00:04:32 --> 00:04:38

at the break of dawn, stirring up there with a cloud of dust,

00:04:39 --> 00:04:43

then piercing into the midst of a gathered army.

00:04:44 --> 00:04:50

Indeed, man, to his Lord is most surely ungrateful.

00:04:51 --> 00:04:58

And indeed, to this he himself is most surely a witness

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

and the

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

Indeed, in his love of worldly goods, wealth, he is most surely

00:05:06 --> 00:05:07

fierce and intense.

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

Does he not know then that when all that is in the graves is

00:05:15 --> 00:05:16

unearthed

00:05:19 --> 00:05:24

and all that is harbored within the hearts, the breast of people

00:05:24 --> 00:05:30

is collected and taken out. Indeed, their Lord on that day

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

will most surely be all aware of that.

00:05:38 --> 00:05:42

So, let's take the background first of all, as many of the

00:05:42 --> 00:05:46

sewers that we have studied in the Macan Quran, they start with a

00:05:46 --> 00:05:47

person an oath.

00:05:48 --> 00:05:54

And just for our youngsters, Allah subhanaw taala is the most He's

00:05:54 --> 00:05:58

allowed the truthful. So he does not need to take an oath. He

00:05:58 --> 00:06:03

doesn't need to say I swear, but he does. And why does he swear?

00:06:03 --> 00:06:07

Let's see, who remembers Why does he take an oath? Anyone?

00:06:10 --> 00:06:14

Important for intensity? Well, to show the importance of something,

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

number two to gather the attention of people who are inattentive, and

00:06:19 --> 00:06:24

I swear, that means something important is coming after this.

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

Okay?

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

So that's the main thing is to take people out of the

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32

heedlessness, they're going that somebody says something which

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34

catches their attention, okay.

00:06:36 --> 00:06:39

That's what he is going to say say I swear by Allah that means

00:06:39 --> 00:06:42

something important is coming because we can only swear by Allah

00:06:42 --> 00:06:43

but Allah swears by his creation.

00:06:45 --> 00:06:50

So Allah subhanaw taala uses his creation, to take an oath to bring

00:06:50 --> 00:06:52

our attention to something important. So this is called the

00:06:52 --> 00:06:58

person means taking an oath. And there is a job of person is wider

00:06:58 --> 00:07:04

to what is being taken. So it is called Maxim be the object of the

00:07:04 --> 00:07:09

oath what is swearing by, and Maxim Alayhi? The subject What is

00:07:09 --> 00:07:10

the main point?

00:07:11 --> 00:07:15

So here, Allah subhanaw taala is addressing the Arabs of the time,

00:07:16 --> 00:07:19

who were very, very

00:07:20 --> 00:07:26

sort of fierce in the love of horses. They loved horses, like

00:07:26 --> 00:07:32

you love Ferraris and Bugatti is today, there was the horse, the

00:07:32 --> 00:07:37

ultimate, okay. And especially the war horses, which were fast and

00:07:37 --> 00:07:41

fierce, and they were not afraid of anything. And there were tough

00:07:42 --> 00:07:47

love to fight in battles. In fact, there were so fond of fighting

00:07:47 --> 00:07:51

that if somebody said somebody have one, camel beaten out in the

00:07:51 --> 00:07:55

race, for generations, they would fight each other, the tribes are

00:07:55 --> 00:07:58

fighting. So they love to fight, they loved

00:07:59 --> 00:08:04

wars and rates and they loved horses. So they had a lot of

00:08:04 --> 00:08:09

poetry, about warfare about horses and all of that. That was their

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

entertainment, because that so Allah subhanaw taala is addressing

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

this crowd, who's not listening to the Quran, who's not listening to

00:08:17 --> 00:08:21

the call of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam of the Tauheed of the

00:08:21 --> 00:08:25

Accra Jana and so on. So, so how does Allah subhanaw taala catch

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

their attention? He starts this revelation without saying

00:08:30 --> 00:08:33

anything. So not talking about believing Allah is not saying you

00:08:33 --> 00:08:36

know, there is ACARA coming believe in the message. This is

00:08:36 --> 00:08:40

the Quran nothing is thought Why Allah subhanaw taala paints a

00:08:40 --> 00:08:41

scene

00:08:43 --> 00:08:48

which would be like the trailer of a movie, it catches your

00:08:48 --> 00:08:53

attention. So Allah subhanaw taala says, When our deity

00:08:55 --> 00:08:59

hears the scene, you've got a bunch of war horses

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

with the Warriors on top ready to raid somebody and add yet are

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

those who are at full gallop they are charging. They're racing as

00:09:10 --> 00:09:15

fast as they can, with the riders on top of them. So much so they're

00:09:15 --> 00:09:18

breathing heavy and the nostrils are going like this. The snorting

00:09:18 --> 00:09:21

if you've seen horses in the race horse, how they're going, so they

00:09:21 --> 00:09:22

are snorting.

00:09:24 --> 00:09:30

And they're racing, while adhia Dubba fool Moriarty pada and

00:09:30 --> 00:09:35

Moriah. Moriarty means to, to kindle to let off a fire so they

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

are galloping so hard, but her means pounding the ground. So

00:09:40 --> 00:09:43

they're running in the sand imagine of the desert and their

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

rocky areas and their mountains, their rocks, so they're the

00:09:47 --> 00:09:54

shoehorns hit the stones and rocks and sparks come out just like you

00:09:54 --> 00:09:57

see that. So you see these just telling you the intensity that

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

they're running and sparks are coming out.

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

Okay, so this catches the attention of the era

00:10:06 --> 00:10:08

funny movie rowdy, so

00:10:09 --> 00:10:15

they are heading to a red in the early hours of the dawn when it's

00:10:15 --> 00:10:19

just turning light. And this is the time when sleep is the most

00:10:19 --> 00:10:23

intense for most people. So this is a good time to read people

00:10:23 --> 00:10:28

because they're not prepared. So in that early hour, and it's not

00:10:28 --> 00:10:31

very bright, so you will specially see the sparks flying in the night

00:10:31 --> 00:10:33

because it's not fully dark.

00:10:34 --> 00:10:40

But nobody Rati Suba Athena behind NACA, that means in the US they're

00:10:40 --> 00:10:47

galloping from the intense Gallup dust clouds are being raised. So

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

you see a trail of dust being raised, okay, because of the

00:10:51 --> 00:10:56

intense group that and then ultimately for bossa nova hegemon,

00:10:56 --> 00:11:00

and they penetrate in where they're not running here and

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

there, directly into the middle of the enemy they are reading, okay,

00:11:05 --> 00:11:08

what's that? What's the term means in the middle, they are not in

00:11:08 --> 00:11:12

other words, they are fearless was sadhana hijama. So he Allah

00:11:12 --> 00:11:16

subhanaw taala has created this war scene, that here's a group of

00:11:16 --> 00:11:20

people who are going to read another enemy, and the horses are

00:11:20 --> 00:11:25

full gallop, breathing heavily sparks flying dust flying, going

00:11:25 --> 00:11:29

into the middle of it, fearless because they're going right into

00:11:29 --> 00:11:31

the middle. When you go into the middle you will be surrounded by

00:11:31 --> 00:11:32

the enemy but they have no fear.

00:11:34 --> 00:11:35

So this is the scene.

00:11:37 --> 00:11:40

So then the Arab is looking sitting up the Bedouin and the

00:11:40 --> 00:11:41

kurush

00:11:43 --> 00:11:44

what happens next?

00:11:46 --> 00:11:47

Like

00:11:49 --> 00:11:54

Allah one stops right there. Now he's got the attention he says in

00:11:54 --> 00:12:00

in santa clara de la. This is the Java de casa. So all of this was

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

an oath by the adhia to those charging horses and their

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

descriptions. That's one note that Allah subhanaw taala says, In in

00:12:08 --> 00:12:15

Santa Clara Bilkent indeed man, towards his Lord is the Most

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17

ungrateful. Now sugar

00:12:18 --> 00:12:19

can note

00:12:21 --> 00:12:25

that is the job of the customer. Okay, that is the point that Allah

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

wanted to make.

00:12:27 --> 00:12:30

Now we'll come to what is the connection between the horses

00:12:30 --> 00:12:32

other than getting attention and being

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

ungrateful now the word Knuth is like a fool. Elsewhere. Allah

00:12:37 --> 00:12:42

SWANA in in Santa Monica for many places go for guffawed. Kofoed

00:12:42 --> 00:12:45

here is the only place can ODE so there is little difference.

00:12:46 --> 00:12:52

Extreme ungratefulness means to show no signs of gratitude of

00:12:52 --> 00:12:53

thankfulness.

00:12:55 --> 00:12:58

And some of the scholars like Hassan Al bursary, Rahmatullah

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

they said that Knuth also means a person who's always complaining he

00:13:02 --> 00:13:07

doesn't see good in anything. He doesn't acknowledge any blessings.

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10

No matter what it is.

00:13:11 --> 00:13:14

You might have 100 Good things if there's one does talk about that.

00:13:14 --> 00:13:20

That's a connote. Okay. Allah subhanaw taala saying that in San

00:13:20 --> 00:13:24

in general, especially addressing the kuffaar of maca, that you are

00:13:24 --> 00:13:25

the most ungrateful

00:13:27 --> 00:13:30

and we'll come back to what is the connection, but this was the point

00:13:30 --> 00:13:33

that Allah was making, that he is most ungrateful.

00:13:35 --> 00:13:38

In that in santa clara de la Canute were in the HoH Allah

00:13:38 --> 00:13:44

Delica Allah Shaheed and to this, this ungratefulness he himself is

00:13:44 --> 00:13:44

a witness.

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

Okay.

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

So as we know elsewhere in the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala on the

00:13:51 --> 00:13:55

Day of Judgment will produce witnesses because people want

00:13:55 --> 00:13:57

evidence, it's a court.

00:13:58 --> 00:14:01

In the court, you have witnesses, now you can bring angels as

00:14:01 --> 00:14:04

witnesses you can bring other people as witnesses and you can

00:14:04 --> 00:14:07

say Allah we didn't see them, how do we know this or that and so on,

00:14:07 --> 00:14:12

so forth. So Allah subhanaw taala on that day will bring who as the

00:14:12 --> 00:14:16

witness, you yourself as a witness against you. Now you can deny that

00:14:16 --> 00:14:20

as Allah subhanaw taala says that your skin's will bear witness your

00:14:20 --> 00:14:24

eyes will bear witness your legs will bear witness your hands will

00:14:24 --> 00:14:30

bear witness. They will be Shaheed bear witness who against you as to

00:14:30 --> 00:14:34

what you did, to confirm what you did or what you didn't do, what

00:14:34 --> 00:14:38

you did, what you shouldn't have done, and what you didn't do what

00:14:38 --> 00:14:42

you were ordered to do. So Allah subhanaw taala sang about this

00:14:42 --> 00:14:48

ingratitude in sun himself will be a witness on the sun as well in

00:14:48 --> 00:14:52

our daily coalition. Then Allah subhanaw taala tells us what is

00:14:52 --> 00:14:58

behind this lack of gratitude. In the next eyeless one Anthony says

00:15:01 --> 00:15:04

Whenever the local shade were in the whole, the whole Bill Haley

00:15:04 --> 00:15:09

Lucia deed, and indeed he is in the help

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

of hire. Now fair means good generally. Right? So help of crab

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

should be good. But everyone says the word fair here means his

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

perception, man's perception of what is good, which is wealth.

00:15:25 --> 00:15:33

That in son in his love in his help, for, for wealth, for, for

00:15:34 --> 00:15:41

for money is intense. It's like a disease, it's endless. And that is

00:15:41 --> 00:15:44

why he is ungrateful because no matter what Allah gives him,

00:15:45 --> 00:15:48

he wants more. He doesn't think it's enough.

00:15:51 --> 00:15:54

And the Prophet sallallahu Sallam told us explained to this in a

00:15:54 --> 00:15:59

hadith about, he said about Insan, he said that man,

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

if he is given a value of gold, do you know what the value of gold

00:16:05 --> 00:16:09

is? How do we measure gold? Is this in a way, in return? What

00:16:09 --> 00:16:11

normally what this gives you a written,

00:16:12 --> 00:16:17

ounce or gram are taller? How much are they this much.

00:16:19 --> 00:16:22

And if you have big, then you got a brick of gold that's this big.

00:16:23 --> 00:16:26

And if you have a trail of gold, that's this big, if you have a

00:16:26 --> 00:16:30

vault full of gold, it is like this, if you have Fort Knox, it's

00:16:30 --> 00:16:34

a building full of gold bricks, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam

00:16:34 --> 00:16:38

saying take the space between the two mountains, the valley, and you

00:16:38 --> 00:16:41

fill it with gold, and you give it to a man

00:16:43 --> 00:16:44

he will want the second one.

00:16:46 --> 00:16:50

And if you give him the second 1/3

00:16:51 --> 00:16:57

And he said, nothing will satisfy will fill his stomach except the

00:16:57 --> 00:17:00

Taarab the dust of his grave. In other words,

00:17:02 --> 00:17:04

till he is buried, He will never be satisfied.

00:17:06 --> 00:17:12

That is the inbred tooth of insan that they are never satisfied. All

00:17:12 --> 00:17:16

days, it was if you become a millionaire, millionaires are not

00:17:16 --> 00:17:18

considered rich anymore.

00:17:19 --> 00:17:24

Then it became you had to have at least 100 million. Now 100 million

00:17:24 --> 00:17:29

is considered poor because you have billionaire. And if you have

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

just one or two billionaires like Donald Trump, that's still not

00:17:32 --> 00:17:37

rich, because now you have mega billionaires and soon we will have

00:17:37 --> 00:17:40

a trillionaires because it never ends.

00:17:41 --> 00:17:45

So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us that the core of this is this

00:17:45 --> 00:17:47

intense love for the world.

00:17:48 --> 00:17:53

Okay, love for the wealth helped means that you think you look at

00:17:53 --> 00:17:57

something and feel that it is beneficial for you, it is higher

00:17:57 --> 00:18:03

for you, it's good for you. And then you you, you exert yourself

00:18:03 --> 00:18:05

to a maximum to achieve it.

00:18:07 --> 00:18:11

I mean, for example, youngsters when they're ready to get married,

00:18:11 --> 00:18:14

then when we meet somebody from the opposite gender inshallah and

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

they look at them and they talk to them. So, this is going to be fair

00:18:17 --> 00:18:19

for me, then they go all out

00:18:21 --> 00:18:27

to, to woo them and get them to marry them, okay, this is the hub

00:18:27 --> 00:18:30

of trying to achieve. So, this is what Allah is one that hope, that

00:18:30 --> 00:18:35

desire, the urge, the effort is endless Shadid.

00:18:41 --> 00:18:45

So, this is the cause, this is the second part of the the Surah The

00:18:45 --> 00:18:50

first is the oath, this is the, the job of the custom. And then

00:18:50 --> 00:18:54

the reasons for that which is this intense love for for wealth. And

00:18:54 --> 00:18:58

when you have that intense love you also disobey Allah by not

00:18:58 --> 00:19:03

wanting to give any so holding withholding, not even given what

00:19:03 --> 00:19:08

is prescribed such as zakat. You know, we're finding I'm paying

00:19:08 --> 00:19:10

taxes, why should I pay Zakat

00:19:11 --> 00:19:14

and Sadaqah on top of that, you want more than that?

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

Okay, I already paid 35% to Uncle Sam five to the state why do you

00:19:20 --> 00:19:25

want another two and a half percent? Right. So this is that

00:19:25 --> 00:19:27

intense because you don't want to part with it.

00:19:29 --> 00:19:33

Last $1 Then comes to the third part, reminding us he says if

00:19:33 --> 00:19:37

Allah Allah movida books Rama field does he not know that he's

00:19:37 --> 00:19:41

going to end up in the grave and then he will be taken out of the

00:19:41 --> 00:19:45

grave like everything else. Like today is digging the ground to get

00:19:45 --> 00:19:49

out gold and diamonds and oil and all the resources one day he

00:19:49 --> 00:19:54

himself and everyone who was ever buried will be taken out, taken

00:19:54 --> 00:19:55

out for a day of judgment.

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

Sarah is like you take some

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

thing out and you empty it you have a box with everything you

00:20:02 --> 00:20:05

empty everything out the graves will be like all the graves will

00:20:05 --> 00:20:05

be emptied.

00:20:07 --> 00:20:11

Believers will be taken out disbelievers will be taken out the

00:20:11 --> 00:20:14

people who murdered will be taken out the people who were murdered

00:20:14 --> 00:20:15

will be taken out.

00:20:17 --> 00:20:21

So anybody thinks that they got away with anything, it will all be

00:20:21 --> 00:20:21

open

00:20:23 --> 00:20:28

Raha Salam FISU and Allah subhanaw taala will reveal what was in the

00:20:28 --> 00:20:33

hearts not just the actions that were done, but what was inside the

00:20:33 --> 00:20:37

hearts Okay, which is the intentions which is the love which

00:20:37 --> 00:20:39

is the desire for this and that

00:20:41 --> 00:20:47

in Rob bomba him Yo my villa Kabir. Indeed on that day, the

00:20:47 --> 00:20:47

Lord

00:20:48 --> 00:20:54

will be heavy for me it means to have full knowledge of the outside

00:20:54 --> 00:20:59

and inside. I Lehmann Habib, there are two words that I use are lame

00:20:59 --> 00:21:04

and crabby. Okay. Kabir means he knows everything that now it says

00:21:04 --> 00:21:10

on that day, does Allah not know till that day, Allah always knows.

00:21:10 --> 00:21:14

But he's stressing the importance of that day that he already knows.

00:21:14 --> 00:21:18

But he will bring all of this out so that you will see it in front

00:21:18 --> 00:21:22

of him, and he already knew it. Okay. So Allah subhanaw taala is

00:21:22 --> 00:21:26

telling us that, look, there is a day of judgment coming, you have

00:21:26 --> 00:21:30

higher goal than this wealth that you're trying to accumulate, make

00:21:30 --> 00:21:33

the accuracy your goal, and then Allah will give you enough of the

00:21:33 --> 00:21:36

dunya if you make the dunya as your goal, you are going to have a

00:21:36 --> 00:21:40

problem. The Prophet sallallahu just told us that Allah subhanaw

00:21:40 --> 00:21:43

taala says that all my slave,

00:21:44 --> 00:21:49

if you make your the after the hereafter as your goal

00:21:50 --> 00:21:53

as your objective in your life,

00:21:54 --> 00:21:57

I will give you of the dunya

00:21:59 --> 00:22:03

and I will give you contentment in your heart and I will gather your

00:22:03 --> 00:22:07

sources of risk to make it easy for you. You don't have to run

00:22:07 --> 00:22:11

everywhere, like a chicken who's has a Master who puts all the

00:22:11 --> 00:22:15

grain here who can eat right from here as opposed to one who has to

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17

go all over the to find one grain here there.

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

And he will remove your poverty. In other words, you'll feel

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

content richness is Connor in the heart. And he said if you don't if

00:22:27 --> 00:22:31

you make the dunya as your main goal, he said I will scatter your

00:22:32 --> 00:22:39

your efforts and your risk and you will never feel contentment you

00:22:39 --> 00:22:42

will never feel rich, you will always have the fear of poverty.

00:22:43 --> 00:22:47

And you will still only get that which I have written for you

00:22:47 --> 00:22:51

nothing. So Allah Subhana Allah is telling us here that we must keep

00:22:51 --> 00:22:55

the goal of the Accra in front of us. Now each one of us has to ask

00:22:55 --> 00:22:58

ourselves, every morning we get up.

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

Either we, some of us may say with today, this is what my intention

00:23:04 --> 00:23:08

is my goal is or without making the intention, we automatically do

00:23:08 --> 00:23:13

something because it's in our heart. How often do we get up and

00:23:13 --> 00:23:17

say, let me see what I can do for my chakra today? How many days in

00:23:17 --> 00:23:21

a week? And how many days in a week? Do we get up? How much can I

00:23:22 --> 00:23:26

earn? What can I improve of my dunya this will give us a standard

00:23:26 --> 00:23:29

as to where we are okay ultimately it's about me.

00:23:31 --> 00:23:35

Do I get up with the goal that every single day I have to use to

00:23:35 --> 00:23:39

make my Accra and Allah will give me whatever is of this dunya and

00:23:39 --> 00:23:42

this doesn't mean that you live your work, okay?

00:23:44 --> 00:23:47

Because work then Allah subhanaw taala says will make it easy for

00:23:47 --> 00:23:52

you to earn your risk. But everything I do in the dunya

00:23:52 --> 00:23:56

should be with the goal that it should be a positive thing for my

00:23:56 --> 00:24:01

Agra. I shouldn't do anything of this dunya which takes me to Jen.

00:24:03 --> 00:24:07

So Allah subhanaw taala is reminding of this important thing

00:24:07 --> 00:24:08

that

00:24:09 --> 00:24:15

we all have love for possessions. Allah Subhan Allah Himself has put

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

that last one Allah says in surah Halima Xuyen, Allah Nasser Bucha

00:24:20 --> 00:24:23

were Timonen disciple Bernina will come out here in the country, it

00:24:23 --> 00:24:27

will mean that they will fit that they will fail and so on Monday

00:24:27 --> 00:24:33

when an AMA when health di Luca, Luca Matanga dunya that Allah has

00:24:33 --> 00:24:41

put the love of female companions of wealth of horses Hein that we

00:24:41 --> 00:24:44

are talking about that of gold and silver and all of these, he has

00:24:44 --> 00:24:47

put, he said, but this is metalhead thing, and these are

00:24:47 --> 00:24:51

just the provisions of this dunya you're going to leave it all

00:24:51 --> 00:24:56

behind. You know, today we talk about what's the net worth. Dr.

00:24:56 --> 00:24:58

Mateen What's your net worth?

00:24:59 --> 00:24:59

Literally

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

A zero

00:25:02 --> 00:25:06

net worth. Today when we ask somebody your net worth, they will

00:25:06 --> 00:25:09

tell you 2 million 50 million this is the net worth.

00:25:12 --> 00:25:17

Net worth is what your worth is with alasa. That's your net worth.

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

Because what do you think suppose somebody says, I am worth $20

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

million.

00:25:24 --> 00:25:26

And every year I go by 5 million,

00:25:27 --> 00:25:28

what is yours?

00:25:29 --> 00:25:34

The Prophet sallallahu sallam said, yours is only that which

00:25:35 --> 00:25:39

you have worn the clothes you spent the how many clothes you can

00:25:39 --> 00:25:41

wear, what you have eaten.

00:25:42 --> 00:25:46

And that which You have given a charity sadaqa, which was written

00:25:46 --> 00:25:50

in your account, the rest of it, you can have 20 million or you can

00:25:50 --> 00:25:53

have 20 billion belongs to who?

00:25:54 --> 00:26:00

To inheritors, and Uncle Sam, when you die, you're not going to take

00:26:00 --> 00:26:05

any of it. Uncle Sam will take a chunk that is a state tax, the

00:26:05 --> 00:26:09

rest will be divided among your children. There may be lawsuits,

00:26:09 --> 00:26:12

the lawyers will take half the children will fight over it. And

00:26:12 --> 00:26:16

you said it was my net worth? No, it wasn't the only thing that was

00:26:16 --> 00:26:22

yours was what you used. You gave the example what you dressed and

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

what you hate, and you can add a few more. And most importantly,

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

what is really yours. And that's left here, but what you have sent

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

as charity. So

00:26:32 --> 00:26:38

so this is the importance of understanding what is the goal of

00:26:38 --> 00:26:42

our life? What is the value of wealth? Yes, we have, but we have

00:26:42 --> 00:26:46

to acquire it in moderation, what Allah has written is going to come

00:26:47 --> 00:26:50

you may work a little, and you may get a lot more than what we

00:26:50 --> 00:26:52

calculate you should get.

00:26:53 --> 00:26:57

And there are some who work very hard, and they don't do very well

00:26:57 --> 00:27:01

because this is the law of Allah Santella risk was written way

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

before.

00:27:03 --> 00:27:08

So our job is not to worry about how much we are going to get. But

00:27:08 --> 00:27:11

do we get it through Halal means or haram means that's the only

00:27:11 --> 00:27:12

difference?

00:27:13 --> 00:27:19

And how much do we stress over it? And how much effort do we make for

00:27:19 --> 00:27:19

the

00:27:23 --> 00:27:24

so now

00:27:25 --> 00:27:30

let's look at the OT that we have the scene of these charging

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

horses.

00:27:31 --> 00:27:36

What is the connection between that and ena in santa clara de la

00:27:36 --> 00:27:37

cannot the man is ungrateful.

00:27:39 --> 00:27:44

If you look at it, horses are very intelligent animals. Okay? They're

00:27:44 --> 00:27:46

very intelligent, very loyal animals.

00:27:48 --> 00:27:53

And they're trained to do whatever you want. Okay? Now these battle

00:27:53 --> 00:27:57

horses know, when they're going into battle horses, they've seen

00:27:57 --> 00:28:02

it enough times that they could be injured, and they will probably be

00:28:02 --> 00:28:06

killed. Because the people, the cavalry is coming, what do they

00:28:06 --> 00:28:10

do? They hit the legs of the horse, right? So the rider comes

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

down

00:28:11 --> 00:28:16

yet. And the horses as animals have instinct, when they see

00:28:16 --> 00:28:19

danger, what do they do? They run

00:28:20 --> 00:28:23

yet these horses are running straight into the danger,

00:28:25 --> 00:28:27

straight into the danger knowing

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

that they are probably going to get injured or be killed.

00:28:33 --> 00:28:36

And they are going for a purpose. It's not their back, they're not

00:28:36 --> 00:28:40

going to get gain anything from it. Why are they doing this?

00:28:41 --> 00:28:45

Because of the loyalty to the owner who's riding on the back,

00:28:45 --> 00:28:48

who gave them some grass which Allah grows, who gave them some

00:28:48 --> 00:28:50

water which Allah sent.

00:28:52 --> 00:28:56

That's it. That's all maybe patted him, maybe brushed him and washed

00:28:56 --> 00:29:00

him a little bit. That's all they did for the horse. And the horse

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

is willing to lay down his life for his best and he's a horse.

00:29:07 --> 00:29:14

No CommCare see number two, here is man who Allah gives and gives

00:29:14 --> 00:29:19

and gives not just grass and water, everything Allah has given

00:29:19 --> 00:29:24

to this man, from intelligence to site to language to to you know,

00:29:25 --> 00:29:30

cognitive abilities to wealth to families to all recognition well

00:29:30 --> 00:29:35

everything from before they were born from providing in the in the

00:29:35 --> 00:29:39

wombs of the mother till their last Allah was giving loading us

00:29:39 --> 00:29:45

with namah after Nam after namah and we don't show that loyalty to

00:29:45 --> 00:29:46

even stand up in Salah for

00:29:50 --> 00:29:52

let alone lead on your life.

00:29:55 --> 00:29:59

So who's better? The beast, the horse or man

00:30:00 --> 00:30:00

And

00:30:04 --> 00:30:05

and you can see this across

00:30:06 --> 00:30:12

dogs, dogs who will look down on you know they are impure, how

00:30:12 --> 00:30:16

loyal a dog will get himself killed to ServiceMaster.

00:30:17 --> 00:30:20

And some of you may have seen this video they came out few months ago

00:30:20 --> 00:30:23

among the police brutality. One dog was sitting inside the car and

00:30:23 --> 00:30:29

the police tried to grab this the owner who was dog jumped out of

00:30:29 --> 00:30:32

the window and went after their short term, of course on the road,

00:30:32 --> 00:30:34

but he laid down his life for his master.

00:30:36 --> 00:30:37

And they do that all the time.

00:30:38 --> 00:30:42

Allah smart Allah is bringing our attention. Look at this creature.

00:30:43 --> 00:30:48

Look at his loyalty to his master who he thinks is his master, who

00:30:48 --> 00:30:51

even whips him and lashes him and does whatever else.

00:30:53 --> 00:30:58

And yet, he will base he is loyal, whereas the loyalty of men

00:30:59 --> 00:31:01

doesn't recognize the masked

00:31:03 --> 00:31:07

canoed also means to cut off relationships. That means he wants

00:31:07 --> 00:31:11

to have nothing to do with his master. He says, I don't have a

00:31:11 --> 00:31:17

master, I am the master of my own destiny as some people say. Right?

00:31:18 --> 00:31:22

So Allah subhanaw taala is making us a comparison to make us feel

00:31:22 --> 00:31:27

some form of shame or realisation. How much better should I be

00:31:27 --> 00:31:32

towards my master? My real Lord. That's the connection.

00:31:34 --> 00:31:38

That here's a horse and look at what his actions and here you are.

00:31:39 --> 00:31:45

What is the reason for this lack of loyalty? Because your loyalty

00:31:45 --> 00:31:49

is that instead of your love your help for Allah subhanaw taala

00:31:49 --> 00:31:55

you're and you don't see him use you have all of his blessings. But

00:31:55 --> 00:31:58

you only look at the wealth and you want more and more and whoever

00:31:58 --> 00:32:00

has that will not have hope of Allah.

00:32:02 --> 00:32:06

Because Allah subhanaw taala does not compete with people at heart

00:32:06 --> 00:32:10

in which there is of dunya the love of dunya cannot have hope of

00:32:10 --> 00:32:13

Allah so no matter how much we claim, okay.

00:32:15 --> 00:32:18

One who has true love for Allah subhanaw taala, Allah gives him

00:32:18 --> 00:32:21

dunya dunya is in his hand, it's not in his heart. In other words,

00:32:21 --> 00:32:25

it's here for us. If it more comes, no problem if God has no

00:32:25 --> 00:32:30

problem, it's for my use. Allah has given me so this is the

00:32:30 --> 00:32:35

important part of the surah that Allah subhanaw taala is making us

00:32:35 --> 00:32:36

realize

00:32:38 --> 00:32:39

that we need to be grateful.

00:32:41 --> 00:32:44

We complain all the time.

00:32:45 --> 00:32:46

All the time.

00:32:47 --> 00:32:51

When we go to there's plenty of doctors, what is the first thing

00:32:51 --> 00:32:54

we write down on a history physical complaints?

00:32:57 --> 00:33:01

How often does patient comments how are you? Says Alhamdulillah I

00:33:01 --> 00:33:04

have had a blessed life, all of this. Just some minor things have

00:33:04 --> 00:33:08

developed now. Wouldn't that be nice? Someday a patient came and

00:33:08 --> 00:33:11

said, I've been blessed with all now I have a little pain in my

00:33:11 --> 00:33:15

knee. I can deal with it. But I thought I might see if I can

00:33:15 --> 00:33:18

improve that. But we complain

00:33:20 --> 00:33:27

when it gets hot or dark. It's 97 degrees today. So the people who

00:33:27 --> 00:33:32

live we live in 120 degrees. These thunderstorms have come. So

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

light is gone. We have light every day. If it's gone one day was the

00:33:36 --> 00:33:42

big deal. There's no water, we're not dying of thirsty. You have to

00:33:42 --> 00:33:44

look at the blessings of Allah subhanaw taala

00:33:45 --> 00:33:50

all the time we have it yet. The one time you don't complain. This

00:33:50 --> 00:33:53

happens in our marital relationship, the husband or the

00:33:53 --> 00:33:57

wife, maybe the most wonderful the one day he or she does something

00:33:57 --> 00:33:58

wrong, that's it.

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

Can you it? Cannot

00:34:05 --> 00:34:06

we have to change that.

00:34:07 --> 00:34:09

Because that's also a blessing from us.

00:34:12 --> 00:34:17

That's a blessing of Allah. So how should we show gratitude I'll come

00:34:17 --> 00:34:22

to that. We should show gratitude by using the blessings of Allah

00:34:22 --> 00:34:25

subhanaw taala in a way that he loves. Okay.

00:34:27 --> 00:34:32

It's not enough to say I thank you Allah, one that at least you

00:34:32 --> 00:34:36

thought about it, but to use the blessing he gives you Allah has

00:34:36 --> 00:34:41

given you a blessing of time. What is life the ultimate is is what is

00:34:41 --> 00:34:45

the best thing you have somebody will say, I have family, I have

00:34:45 --> 00:34:49

helped I have this I have that ultimately more than that is your

00:34:49 --> 00:34:57

own life. And what is life? It is a period of time of seconds of

00:34:57 --> 00:35:00

heartbeats. So if Allah has given 70

00:35:00 --> 00:35:05

yours are 80 years. We have to use it properly. So what are you

00:35:05 --> 00:35:08

doing? What are you doing? I'm just passing time what time will

00:35:08 --> 00:35:14

pass anyway? I'm just blowing the time. That's blowing. If you do

00:35:14 --> 00:35:19

nothing two hours of watching semifinals on soccer you blown two

00:35:19 --> 00:35:20

hours right?

00:35:21 --> 00:35:24

If Denmark one or UK one it doesn't matter any difference to

00:35:24 --> 00:35:27

you, not one of them know who you are. Right?

00:35:29 --> 00:35:32

If Joker which wins the Wimbledon, he doesn't know that Dr. Mateen

00:35:32 --> 00:35:38

was was cheering from his bedroom. He doesn't know. Right? So we have

00:35:38 --> 00:35:42

these things where we spend hours and hours of our time which is

00:35:42 --> 00:35:46

wasted. This is the most important resource as the person who was on

00:35:46 --> 00:35:50

his deathbed, what is he looking for? Little more extension, I wish

00:35:50 --> 00:35:53

I had a little more time or you had all the time that you wasted.

00:35:55 --> 00:35:58

Some people spend 12 hours in sleep, that's half the life.

00:35:59 --> 00:36:06

Right? Eight hours of sleep 1/3 of the life God doing nothing. So

00:36:06 --> 00:36:10

using the time in the right way, using the knowledge that Allah has

00:36:10 --> 00:36:14

given us knowledge of the Quran, what I've heard this, what am I

00:36:14 --> 00:36:17

going to do different? What is good? How is it going to change

00:36:17 --> 00:36:21

the goals in my life? What is going to change in my attitude

00:36:21 --> 00:36:22

towards wealth?

00:36:23 --> 00:36:25

What will I do with my health?

00:36:26 --> 00:36:30

The Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam said that man is heedless in

00:36:30 --> 00:36:34

certain things. You said about his free time, he has free time, he

00:36:34 --> 00:36:38

doesn't value it, he has helped. He doesn't value it.

00:36:40 --> 00:36:44

Because then when you become sick, you can do certain things that you

00:36:44 --> 00:36:46

would have liked to do. Today we say

00:36:47 --> 00:36:50

when I'm settled, when everything is all set, when I'm retired, I'm

00:36:50 --> 00:36:53

going to do how do you know you're going to retire? And how do you

00:36:53 --> 00:36:56

know you'll have health to be able to do anything?

00:36:57 --> 00:37:02

Right? So it has to be an active process throughout your life. You

00:37:02 --> 00:37:07

can put things off? Do we put up? Okay, I'll go to work when I feel

00:37:07 --> 00:37:11

like it when I'm strong at the age of 40. No, you got to do it. So

00:37:11 --> 00:37:16

similarly for the hacker you need to work every day. What do I put

00:37:16 --> 00:37:20

forward for the so that's very, very important that we show

00:37:20 --> 00:37:25

gratitude to Allah subhanaw taala and we we recognize His blessings

00:37:25 --> 00:37:29

in every single, single right now the air is moving.

00:37:31 --> 00:37:34

In my house, the air is not moving. So now I recognize the

00:37:34 --> 00:37:38

blessing of moving air. Otherwise, you'd be sitting there in the

00:37:38 --> 00:37:44

heat, humidity, sweating away, and just a little movement of air. Who

00:37:44 --> 00:37:48

taught you that? Last one? When you have a terrible day a little

00:37:48 --> 00:37:50

breeze comes how welcoming is it?

00:37:51 --> 00:37:55

How often do we say is how Allah subhanaw taala? What must have

00:37:55 --> 00:37:59

taken off laws of physics and things to move the air to give you

00:37:59 --> 00:38:04

that breeze? What does it take to bring the rain and we come in Oh,

00:38:04 --> 00:38:08

it's raining. Do you know what went behind it? What powers of

00:38:08 --> 00:38:12

what rays of the sun went and caused so much evaporation and

00:38:12 --> 00:38:17

cause clouds to collect and move from hundreds of miles to go to a

00:38:17 --> 00:38:20

certain area to bring random so it's rainy

00:38:21 --> 00:38:25

Alhamdulillah it's raining elaborate mercy for us. What are

00:38:25 --> 00:38:26

the processes that when

00:38:29 --> 00:38:33

I am listening? You are I'm talking you are listening and vice

00:38:33 --> 00:38:36

versa. What are the processes that are going on in the brain? We have

00:38:36 --> 00:38:39

no clue even doctors we have no clue we have some ideas.

00:38:41 --> 00:38:44

gastroenterologist once it goes here he doesn't know what exactly

00:38:44 --> 00:38:48

is going on. He has some ideas. There's acid there's enzyme

00:38:48 --> 00:38:51

there's this. What is we don't know.

00:38:53 --> 00:38:57

Even we look in there we still don't know we see gross things in

00:38:57 --> 00:38:58

the brain. We don't know anything.

00:38:59 --> 00:39:05

Okay, so recognizing that there are blessings of Allah subhanaw

00:39:05 --> 00:39:09

taala with us at all times and focusing on that rather than the

00:39:09 --> 00:39:11

one thing that doesn't please us.

00:39:12 --> 00:39:16

Chakra chakra sugar whole life should be one of sugar.

00:39:18 --> 00:39:24

So, with this surah Allah subhanaw taala helps us to realize that his

00:39:24 --> 00:39:29

blessings are infinite, that we should be grateful use his

00:39:29 --> 00:39:30

blessings in the right way.

00:39:31 --> 00:39:35

Then that we should remind ourselves of the other creatures

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

which are considered lower than us animals, yet they are so loyal.

00:39:40 --> 00:39:46

That I need to be better than a dog and a horse. And to know that

00:39:46 --> 00:39:52

if I am imbalanced in my desire and love for wealth, I need to

00:39:52 --> 00:39:54

bring it to a balance to

00:39:55 --> 00:39:59

equilibrium which is proper as Allah wants to be you

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

And to know that one day no matter what I have, it is going

00:40:03 --> 00:40:07

underground. And I'm coming out with everybody else.

00:40:08 --> 00:40:13

As you can see results, saw results a lot that we had covered

00:40:13 --> 00:40:16

before. Yo Maya then on that day, also understand

00:40:18 --> 00:40:22

that day, Allah says, for me, ml with kala donathan hiring your

00:40:22 --> 00:40:25

woman yam and with Canada rotten Sharanya that's the surah just

00:40:25 --> 00:40:31

before that, on that day, everyone will know the smallest atoms worth

00:40:31 --> 00:40:35

of good that they have done actions and the smallest atoms

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

worth of evil or bad they have done in this surah ISIS maphis So

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

do not just the external action it completes it. Those actions were

00:40:45 --> 00:40:49

not in the Surah before now even what was inside the hearts I know

00:40:49 --> 00:40:53

because sometimes we see actions, but inside the heart may be wrong.

00:40:53 --> 00:40:57

Okay. They may be hypocrisy, I mean they when act upon us to come

00:40:57 --> 00:41:02

and pray with the prophets of Allah is okay. So, even the

00:41:02 --> 00:41:07

intentions, everything external is known, another internal is known.

00:41:07 --> 00:41:13

So Allah Subhana Allah says in Rob Bong, yo, my the lobby. On this

00:41:13 --> 00:41:15

day, Allah the Lord

00:41:17 --> 00:41:21

is heavier. What you have done outside of actions, what is inside

00:41:21 --> 00:41:26

your hearts, he already knew it, but it will be for display for you

00:41:26 --> 00:41:30

to see yourself and you will be a witness of it. And your

00:41:30 --> 00:41:33

ingratitude would be shown by your words of what you say your

00:41:33 --> 00:41:38

ingratitude your Knut will be shown by how you use his

00:41:38 --> 00:41:38

blessings.

00:41:40 --> 00:41:44

So we ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us among the shagreen those

00:41:44 --> 00:41:48

who always recognize Allah subhanaw taala as bounties on us

00:41:48 --> 00:41:52

and focus on his blessings. And always be grateful by using

00:41:52 --> 00:41:56

recognizing them and using them in a way that is pleasing to Allah

00:41:56 --> 00:42:01

subhanaw taala. And when Allah subhanaw taala challenges us with

00:42:01 --> 00:42:06

something that we don't like, we take it with server, and we don't

00:42:06 --> 00:42:10

make it the focus of my life, okay? Today this happened, or

00:42:10 --> 00:42:15

tomorrow this because if you do, then you're causing problems for

00:42:15 --> 00:42:19

yourself. Why? Because that will build you anxiety, and you only

00:42:19 --> 00:42:23

see that you only see darkness, instead of all the light that's

00:42:23 --> 00:42:27

around. So that's very, very important eldest one, they'll help

00:42:27 --> 00:42:31

us to do that, and help us to make the alpha as the goal on a daily

00:42:31 --> 00:42:35

basis. And that we go about the dunya, keeping the alpha the goal

00:42:35 --> 00:42:36

in front of us.

00:42:37 --> 00:42:43

And help us to be surrounded by people who remind us of that all

00:42:43 --> 00:42:47

the time. Because man by nature is forgetful we get involved in

00:42:47 --> 00:42:51

something we forget. So we need that constant reminder, we need

00:42:51 --> 00:42:56

the reminder that yes, no matter what we achieve of the dunya it's

00:42:56 --> 00:42:59

going to be left behind, but what we have done for the Afra will

00:42:59 --> 00:43:03

always remain and therefore our day should be focused that even

00:43:03 --> 00:43:08

what I do of the dunya should be positive for the and what I do for

00:43:08 --> 00:43:12

the operations of course for the Accra, of charity of a bad out of,

00:43:12 --> 00:43:15

of good o'clock of teaching, helping people teaching people,

00:43:16 --> 00:43:17

you know, all of that,

00:43:18 --> 00:43:22

that we do on a regular basis with the goal of pleasing Allah

00:43:22 --> 00:43:27

subhanaw taala so that our Accra is one of success, not to failure

00:43:27 --> 00:43:30

because Allah subhanaw taala define success and failure, not

00:43:30 --> 00:43:33

the way that we do in a worldly sense.

00:43:34 --> 00:43:36

Subhanak Allahumma with him the connection to Allah in

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

order to, like Sharla we can open it up for questions and answers

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

and comments.
