Salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah while the
only he was happy woman, voila.
Lama Zinnia Halima
Allah Allahu Allah to the Apollo banner above Daytona. hablan amela
dhankhar. in Canton we have
a lot of Mustang Masami Alka lube in the creek,
your law, open the hearing channels of our hearts to your
remembrance. And don't let our hearts deviate from the truth
after you have guided us, your lie increase us in useful L.
That knowledge, that essential knowledge which brings us closer
to you
and helps us in your obedience and helps us in the etbr of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam.
So welcome back to all of our dear brothers and sisters. After a
hiatus of almost a month, I hope some of you missed these sessions.
Because once you get hooked on the Quran, it is difficult to to leave
it
and so we should always be attached to the Quran even when
nothing else is going on in terms of formal classes, for our own
reading for our own reflection, and I had sent out a message
yesterday advising our dear brothers and sisters to do some
reading ahead of time, so that we can participate and get the most
out of this gathering.
So inshallah we are going to continue in our
pursuit of learning together some of the Macan Qur'an that was
revealed in the early part of the Naboo of Rasulullah sallallaahu
Salam revealed in Makkah, before the hijra, in a hostile
environment where the Prophet sallallaahu Salam and his handful
of followers were being persecuted, where they were being
rejected and ridiculed and belied and denied, and tortured and
killed.
And as you all know, and recall that most of the Macan Qur'an
deals with iman yet, with the template of Allah subhanaw taala.
With the Day of Judgment with the result of Rasulullah Salallahu
Salam
talks about the Quran, talks about previous nations talks about the
Day of Judgment in Africa. So it's the same themes that we're going
to cover in the Surah number 88 That we are going to cover today,
which is surah. In Chicago, it is also called in sharp cut.
Number 88.
In sharp cut means something that's that's torn apart or rent
asunder.
And this refers to comes from the first idea
referring to the sky. So, this is the Meccan surah. And
the themes in this surah are closely related to the previous
surah number 84 at the query number 82, in fitter, and number
78. Another, all of which we have covered in previous sessions,
dealing with the Day of Judgment, then they follow the same pattern
and it's closely knit and similar to at segwayed, an innovator and
also to the one before it which is own McDuffie in which we have not
covered which is surah number 83, which Inshallah, perhaps the next
one, we can cover and complete this whole series of surah. So
this surah, Allah subhanaw taala has four segments in this the
first five Iots of the surah. They talk about the start of the day of
judgment, the events, and the startling events that will held,
which will give an indication to the people who are alive at that
time, that this whole system is being destroyed that Allah had
created, that the laws of nature as we know them are being
violated. And it's going to be a very scary and startling event
because it's like, nothing that humanity has ever seen or even
imagined. Just imagine when a bad earthquake comes or a volcano
erupts. What kind of even if there is any
To fire in a house in a building, what kind of chaos takes place?
What kind of stampede takes place in crowds? Just this, these, the
events that Allah Samantha was talking about is just
unimaginable. So those are the first five Iots that deal with the
events of the day of judgment. And then from Iowa number six to
number 15, Allah subhanaw taala talks about the journey of man
through this life, what his life is where he is heading to, goes
into the Day of Judgment and what is going to be the end result of
that day of judgment. And then from iron number 16, to 19, Allah
subhanaw taala takes an oath and calls our attention to some of his
signs, the laws of Allah in nature,
to reflect upon them and to derive conclusions from them about
the hate of Allah subhanaw taala about the truth of this message
and to increase a scenario pain and then the last few is from iron
number 20 to 25 or an admonition, a warning, a final warning, if you
will a warning warning
about
the end and what the end of the two groups is going to be.
So, let us start with the beginning. The first is Allah
subhanaw taala says are older we lay him in a shape on your rejean
Bismillah AR Rahman man who roughly is
shocked caught, what are they not let Rob be
caught. So these are the first two Hyatts Allah Subhana Allah says
either and the word either means when and this is a conditional
phrase. Normally, when we say either means when this happens,
then there is a consequence of Java means when this happens, then
such and such thing will happen. Okay, so Allah subhanaw taala is
telling us that when the skies are torn apart,
Allah Subhana Allah is not saying if the skies are torn apart.
He's saying when they are torn apart, in other words, there is a
certainty there is an inevitability that the skies were
created to be torn apart.
They are going this is something that's going to happen. It's
almost like in past tense. So, Allah subhanaw taala does not give
after this
a
the answer to that then what will happen when this happens? Why,
because it has already been spelled out in the previous sutras
that have come before, like the two sewers we talked about Allah
subhanaw taala say, if a Samara, Confederate needle ko Accubond
after then, I limit Neff some koderma to
then man will know what he has brought forward and what he has
left behind. In the other Surah it says ulimate na sama Bharat men
will know what he has presented, where he is. So here Allah
subhanaw taala has not mentioned what will happen then because we
already know we are familiar with it.
So Allah subhanaw taala says, When the skies are torn apart,
what are the net lira behalf? What
are they not knot has two meanings from Odin which is to hear when it
hears and the other is 11 which means permission of a command that
when
the skies the heavens that we see we see the lowest heaven out of
seven but when all of the seven heavens heavens with everything
that is within all the galaxies all the creation the planets and
that we don't know the black holes everything is torn apart. It's a
ripped apart in a final irreversible end for which it was
created. What are they not lira BIA? Wow
But in other words, the skies are listening for the permission of
Allah to rip apart in shapcott means they will do it by
themselves there is no external force.
Allah subhanaw taala tells us elsewhere in the Quran that the
skies are raging to split apart. Why? Because for all the
disobedience that is going on on the earth, because the skies like
all the rest of Allah's creation, are living in their own way. And
they are in obedience of Allah subhanaw taala and when they see
disobedience coming,
they get upset and angry and they want to just destroy everything.
Same thing with the earth, yet they cannot because they are
waiting for the Command of Allah. But they already know it has been
programmed into them that a day Allah's command will come now you
may disintegrate, you may tear apart.
So the skies were created
for that end, because then only will the reality, the heartache of
the Accra start. And we don't know what the skies are hiding from us
of reality. It's only when the skies are torn apart, then we will
know the reality of everything.
So
what Allah subhanaw taala saying is the skies listening for the
Command of Allah the permission to tear apart this is the disruption
disruption of and destruction of the existing laws of Allah and
nature.
Are they not that they hear Allah's command and they obey
immediately? They hear and they obey, because it is their right it
is there. It is correct for them. And it is Allah's right to be
obeyed, to be in complete submission to be in complete
obedience. They don't have a choice. Everything Allah created
everything.
Galicia is an obedience and submission to Allah Subhana Allah,
they have no choice.
Only to have Allah's creation, we're given a choice, man and Jin.
So a human being who is on his natural fitrah will immediately
obey the command of Allah, like the rest of the creation.
While there are others, like most of us, who look at it, who analyze
it to intellectual, in, intellectualize it, they see,
well, this is the benefit, this is the harm, then they decide whether
they're going to obey or not. But look at the skies, Allah says, Go
and they disappear.
Then Allah subhanaw taala says, We're either done with that. And
when the earth is not that is stretched out, it's stretched out
like your stretch leather. It is stretched out and spread, it's
leveled, it's elongated. And this is a passive verb. In other words,
it's going to be done, it's not going to do it on its own.
So if you know, the way Allah's laws work, there are tectonic
plates that are working under the earth that push each other and
they become mountains, they become mountains and valleys. And all of
these come from movements of the Earth, the movements of the
continents, the movements of the tectonic plates. So Allah subhanaw
taala, saying that he will pull all that apart and make it into
one level stretched.
Field, if you will. No mountains, no valleys, flat. One of the
reasons for that, to accommodate everyone that is going to be
assembled.
And a hadith tells us that on the Day of Judgment when the people
are gathered, and there is going to be billions and maybe even
trillions of people from other Muslim till the last person, even
then there will be only standing room, enough room for the feet
because
of the crowding. And yet we also hear that they'll people will be
running because out of fear. How can you run when there's only
standing room that any of you have been at hudge or we've been
anywhere else if you've seen a stampede, that's what's going to
happen people are going to get trampled upon.
Now we assume that this is this earth that this is going to happen
because Allah smart Allah says
after this, will the earth be round like a ball like it is? Or
will it be flattened out? You know, like you have a ball of
dough, and then you're making a pizza or a roti, a bread you
spread it out? Will it be like that only Allah knows
And we believe this is an actual physical flattening and stretching
out of the earth. It is not metaphorical. You know, it's not
metaphorical that will be flat. Or you know, like for example in the
dwarf suffer, we say what we are Nevada or Allah shorten our
distance that's not a physical shortening that's metaphorical
make our journey easy and quick, but this is going to happen so
Allah subhanaw taala says we're either or do
mudit well I'll cut Murphy Ha, what the Hulot what Alcott Alka
means to throw something? So the earth will throw like we say, you
know, the Musa alayhis salam Alka Assa it through his ASA his his
staff here the earth alas mandala saying when it as it's being
flattened out it will throw out it will eject it'll put out Murphy
whatever is in it every everything that is inside it will come out
just like we see lava coming out of the earth and we see things we
will see bodies coming out we will see treasures coming out we will
see secrets coming out we will see metals coming out. But most
importantly, every human being would be thrown out of the earth.
To what degree
what the Hulot the Khaled means to empty out of everything to get rid
of all of its burdens. And we covered this also in Surah Xyzal,
for Accra, digital Arbo it will take out so Allah subhanaw taala,
saying, as the Earth is stretched out, it will put out everything
that is inside it. And then the same idea is repeated. But are
they not lira behalf Hocutt because it here's what the Lord
says what is the Lord's command and permission and response to the
call immediately. Listen and obey.
Now for us, we consider the earth and the skies as inanimate and yet
we see Allah is telling us they listen and they obey
the commands of their Lord.
And the point to reflect here is how many calls do we hear? And we
remain deaf to it.
And how many calls have anon that we've heard that we did not
respond to
and how many calls we hear.
And not only not respond but worse. We hear and we disobey like
the Bani Israel Samana or sign. Some I know we hear and we
disagree. Whereas our attitude as believers should be Savannah
watan, we hear and we immediately obey. Allah is giving us an
example of the heavens and the earth. Look, this is how they are.
Everything. Everything in creation obeys and submits willingly,
without a choice to Allah is Allah subhanaw taala tells us elsewhere
in the Quran, when He created everything heavens on Earth and
mountain says, Come to obedience forcefully or willingly they say
we submit willingly
only managin
who are given the choice to submit and obey or to reject and disobey.
But also remember, when Allah is telling us about the heavens and
the earth, they're also going to be witnesses against us or for us,
for what we did.
Therefore, what we should derive from this is not how this is going
to happen or when it is going to happen. But we should be the ones
who are consciously obeying Allah subhanaw taala
all the time, willingly and lovingly, because after these
first five is now Allah subhanaw taala addresses us as mankind.
Allah subhanaw taala says, Yeah, are you insane? In Mecca cada Han
Allah Rebecca Caterham formula p
look at the address.
Yeah, are you insane? All men and this addresses believers this all
of humanity believers disbelievers but it's particularly because we
believe in this color from Allah swimathon Especially for me,
INSEAD
or you who forgets in son from NESEA don't forget Allah is
telling us this is the key idea of the surah Allah smart Allah is
telling us all you forgetful man
Water What about you in Nakada? Han Indeed you are surely can't
the hunt toiling struggling laboring all your life in a
struggle to the point of exhaustion
in good ways or bad ways at every stage you are toiling and you are
moving towards
QA the
QA Jehan Ihlara Becca towards your Lord, you are moving, get the hand
for Malarkey, you are toiling and you are toiling.
What is the story that we are talking about, and this will
continue till the end of our lives. Some may want to eat some
may want shortcuts Some may want to have laziness, procrastination,
but there is a struggle at every stage has struggled to be born, a
struggle to grow up was struggling to educate, struggled to get a
job, struggled to obey Allah struggled to work struggle to earn
struggled to marry struggled to have a families to some struggle
to support a family to deal with challenges of life, social,
economical, physical, political, psychological health challenges,
everything is a challenge.
And Allah is telling you, you are on a conveyor belt that is moving
only in one direction. And that direction for every one believer
or disbeliever is towards Allah. You are toiling day after day
towards your Lord, week after week, month after month, year
after year. So quickly we are in this new year towards a meeting
with him.
These are small, every day is a small milestone every week is a
small milestone. Every month every month is a small milestone we are
going we are leaving. And there are some larger milestones in our
lives. You know when you graduate when you get your first job when
you get married, when you have your first child and so on so
forth.
But they're just milestones in this journey. And then Allah
subhanaw taala says,
firm will then for Mala t, you will meet him you will meet your
Lord, there is another understanding to this, that you
will meet the fruit of your labor.
The actions that you have, and you can combine the two the actions
that you have done, what you have learned, you will meet them both
in other words you will meet Allah along with your actions
your deeds will accompany you.
Now the question to ask for me and for you. What do you want to meet
Allah with?
What do you want your record to show?
When he has a virgin opens? What do you want recorded in it?
And if we keep that in front of us, our lives will be rectified.
So last month, Allah tells us that this reality is coming.
Then the next stage from that meeting the struggle of the life.
Then the meeting with Allah subhanaw taala the books then
Allah smart Allah says in the next style
for a man men etea Kitab a who be Yemeni for sofa, you have several
Hisamitsu
for sofa in your house Cebu Hassan is here
and the one who is given his book, his book of deeds in his right
hand. And the right hand symbolizes ennobling honoring this
person is being honored on that day, like in a graduation ceremony
that this person graduated.
You know, Allah subhanaw taala tells us in the Quran that Kitab
al Abrar the book of the righteous is infill Ely Yun and inscribe
Kitab Omar Kuhlman inscribed book so just if we could imagine and we
don't know what these books look like, we don't know what our
records look like we don't know how they are the books that will
be given in what form that writing will be, but we know it will be
so from the Leone which is the collection of of the books of
this, each one's book will be given in the right hand inshallah
for all of us.
And as soon that's the indication, the ram of Allah start starts the
ease for the believer starts right there as soon as a person receives
the book in his right and what does it mean?
For sofa and then you
You have Cebu, his hisab is hisab and your sia is an easy wrecking.
What does an easy reckoning mean?
An easy reckoning means that Allah will look at
the book
he will not scrutinize it.
He will not question he will forgive, as if all the horrible
things that were written in there
never occurred
he will not push them in front of them. What is this I see about
you? How dare you did this?
How dare you? Because he sat me Yes yesira means Allah opens, he
says, go okay, you are forgiven.
You are forgiven.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam frequently used
to make a dua in his salah. He used to say Allah Maha 70 Sobbing
your 00 Allah make my hisab easy Reckoning and easy Hassan.
So our mother, I shall have the Aloha.
She asked your Salah, what is this? Is Simon yesira Because
Allah is going to take his help from everyone.
He said, Yeah, I shall know. He Simon yesira means that Allah does
not take his job, he looks at the books and he forgives, He doesn't
question there is no scrutiny.
No accounting is taking the book is taken and given as a
forgiveness, because the one in whose book Allah looks and then he
questions he will surely perish he will be punished adab
the one who Allah starts to question that is a sign that this
person is going to have punishment to some degree.
So the one who is given the book in the right hand will have
an easy reckoning. The first Bashara is right hand then it's
not looked at
the mistakes are not pointed out.
And this is what we make dua for this is what we hope but this is
not what we should be feeling content with all I'm unbeliever I
pray I fast don't tell lies. What more do you want from me? I'm
going to have a saben yesira that should never be the attitude
you know, what was the attitude of the best of this Oma?
So you're gonna look back at us today for us to say that if I have
one foot in Ghana
and the second foot is not yet in Jana, I would feel insecure from
the destiny of Allah subhanaw taala whether it will overtake me
and I will not enter Jannah
so you know how many of you know a tablet, the Alon all those who
have been given the Bashar of Jana said if on the day of judgment or
caller calls that everyone can enter Jannah except one.
I would be afraid that that one is ignored.
This is the degree of fear they had. They didn't take it easy that
all I've been given Bashar of Jannah no problems. So we should
have that fear of that day. Yet we hope and we pray and we do dua
that Allah does not take us to his job that we are people of his
hobby. We are Sierra.
So once this happens, what is the next step? For young Cali boo Illa
Allah He must Rudra Allah subhanaw taala says then this person, young
caliber return Illa only he to his family must Rudra
to returns from that hearing to which family
to which family early. We're not talking about going back to the
earth we are talking about to those family members of his who
have already entered Jana.
So he will now go and join them. And he will go and join them with
a glow on his face of happiness and bursting and happiness must
rubra
through joy, from which comes from the sort of the deepest the
secret, the innermost joy and face will be ready
teaching that as a last one Tala says to the Prophet sallallahu.
cinematographer, would you be another thing
that your Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam will recognize them with the
glow on their faces, which is another Bashara, the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam will be there for us to see when we come
across successful.
So, these are the people who are the ultimate winners the
successful
we will go and join those members of our family who have succeeded.
Now, we also know that not every one of every family will be there
in general.
We know that the father of the halal of Allah,
as a father of Ibrahim alayhis salam
will not be joining Ibrahim alayhis salaam and Ibrahim alayhis
salam is not going to be joining
that new wireless lab is not going to be joining his son, or his wife
Lucullus Alon is not going to be joining his wife. It's for the
righteous, the ones who make Jana. So it's very, very important that
we take care of our families so that the ones we claim to love
hear that we can be together in Jannah. It is not a guarantee. It
requires work because Allah smart Allah tells us that your family,
your children, your wealth, there are trials elsewhere. Last one
dialysis in nomina is Raja Kumar, Allah docam I don't want to come
there are they are some of them can be enemies to you, in your
journey to Allah subhanaw taala. So what do we have to do?
We have to work with our families, that we are working in the same
direction, that the husband and wife and children they're the
wheels are turning in the same direction. So we go there.
It's not like one wheel is going this way and one wheel is going
this way. The car is never going to make a headway. Or one is going
fast and one is very slow. It goes around in circles.
We have to learn together we have to practice together we have to
encourage each other towards goodness we have to pray together
then only we can hope to be together and is Allah's Mercy
elsewhere in the Quran, he tells us that peoples in the in from the
family would be in different levels according to the man. Now
they want to meet meet each other. So the ones above will not be
brought down. But the ones who are lower level Allah will elevate
their levels to give joy to the high left. That's why we should
feel happy if we have a happy to if we have a righteous person. We
should encourage people in our family to be righteous rather than
criticizing them though you are a fanatic you are this you are that
we should encourage each other. I want somebody in my family to be
right up there under the ash so that from my lowest level, By
Allah's grace, I'll be taken up to be with that person.
So it's very, very important. Just remember the attitude of the
Gambia and the xylophone and the Sahaba towards the family. Or last
month Allah gives us a scene of Jacobo esalaam On his deathbed in
surah baqarah he is dying and is surrounded by his children. What
does he say? Who are you going to worship after me?
Who are you going to worship after me? That's his concern. Not how,
where is your risk going to come from? And they say we worship your
Lord the Lord have a father and have Ibrahima Lisanna
similarly, we know amarena habla de Alana used to wake up his
family, his children for tahajjud.
Today we want don't wake up our children for budget because let
the poor child sleep even the poor child is 16 years old. So we have
to change that attitude. We want our families together, we make the
Dora Bunnahabhain and administers wodgina Doriana Cora Toyne what
does it mean? Allah make our spouses and our children Kurata
and coolness of our eyes, that gives us peace and satisfaction
and joy.
Where it's not going to be joyful. May Allah forbid if we see one of
those loved ones being dragged into the hellfire. The time to
make the effort is here. Ultimately it's all with Allah
subhanaw taala but we are tasked to make that
effort.
In the next Allah subhanaw taala gives us the opposite image
what a madman Ooh Thea Kitab who were all other hurry
for sofa yet the author whare by your slot Lhasa, Iraq
and the one who is given his book whare means behind victory without
behind his
back.
Now you might say, Well, we know elsewhere in the Quran that the
one with the Kitab will be Shomali, the one who's given his
book in his left hand here is saying behind his back. How do we
reconcile the two?
There is, it's very easy because the criminals who are going to be
given this book in their left hand, which is a symbol of
humiliation of eternal failure of punishment of shame of disgrace,
is a ticket to hellfire. They will be bound. They will be bound in
chains and brought in how will they be bound the right hand
around the neck and the left behind the back like this.
Left hand bound by chains behind the back.
And you know, sometimes when you do martial arts and other things,
you take somebody's hand behind and you're twisted, what do you
make that person do the bend forward, even the angels might
twist that to make them bow you didn't do too good to Allah. Now
it's time to do Roku and such that you can get person down just by
twisting the hand behind the back. So last one, Atala saying yes, the
book will be given in that left hand but behind their backs.
You can't even read it. But you know, for what you have done what
it contains guitar will Fauja Luffy see Jean, from that record,
mercom Kitab, that is inscribed in which all the records of these
rebellious, arrogant, disobedient people or who denied
records will be given behind the back. And the person who is given
the Book behind their back
immediately knows what's coming. And he's already seeing on the
fire as we've covered in, in the in the last few Surahs you know,
70,000 Angels holding back 70,000 of those rains to hold it back.
He's seeing that so what does he do?
He knows what's coming.
As soon as he gets this book, he has a role. He calls he makes the
hour he pleads to Allah to the angels that are binding him and
grabbing him and pulling him through Buddha. What does he want
by distraction? Give me destruction Give me death. Because
I wouldn't be able to take what's coming ahead. Dislike we have
examples like when people suffer a lot in this dunya they said you
know I wish for debts to get relief of this. But also remember
we have covered before that before all the starts Allah subhanaw
taala will bring death in the form of a white RAM and habit sacrifice
that this was debt there is no more debt.
So even though this person will beg for death and to be killed,
there is no death after this.
So it is no choice but to endure.
Endure what what you chose the consequences of what you denied.
What you ignored.
What your intoxication the dunya made you forget the reality of
this day. What wealth and power made you feel invincible
and answerable to anyone who is going to question me that
attitude. Live this person live for the moment I'm in charge. This
is the end
yes sloth. Allah subhanaw taala saying yes, La Jolla will be
entered and burned. Roasted in say the word for Jahannam used here is
saya which means blazing fire with tall tall flames. Just imagine
flames like skyscrapers, we you know the flames on the surface of
the sun in this dunya there are hundreds of 1000s of miles high.
We already did the telescopes see those that the earth were to come
close it would just disappear.
This is the flame of Jannah which is hotter than any flame or any
heat of this dunya.
The word sad it also implies in which there is nothing good there
is no goodness in Jahannam
except one
what is the goodness that comes out of Jannah
that it will be used to purify some of the believers from their
sins so that they can enter Jannah
then Allah subhanaw taala talks about this person who lived like
that, who is now in Ghana.
In Ghana vi li Masaru Rasim
If, indeed he used to also return to his family go to his family
very joyously. Now Allah subhanaw taala before talked about the
believers in the hereafter joining the families here is talking about
the believers. Here the disbelievers, the disobedient, he
used to live joyfully amongst his family, heedlessly in a cell in a
sort of false sense of success, insecurity.
Feeling convinced that he had achieved happiness, and he was
free to do anything while pursuing every whim and fulfilling every
desire with his family, give them whatever they want, let me do
whatever indulge in this dunya This is how he lived. Why, in who
than a nine year fool, because indeed he Ven, he thought he was
convinced that learn laying your whole there will never be your
whole return. How means to return, return to his Lord, he didn't
believe that he was going back.
He thought that this life is an endless joy. He can do whatever he
wants. This was his attitude.
Then Allah subhanaw taala says by law
in a rowboat cannot be Heber Sierra. No, to the contrary, his
Lord be evil Sierra, he was watching him, always watching
everything about him.
Everything around him, everything inside of him. every action, every
thought, every word, every intention, every desire, every
plan.
Even though the angels recorded it, the earth recorded the skies
recorded the body parts recorded it. But most important, even
without those records, Allah was watching him. He was witnessed
over everything, always aware.
While he was not aware that Aurora creed was watching,
what do I learn from this, that I need to have reminders everywhere,
like sticky notes, or Rocky was watching you,
in my car, in my work in my room, everywhere, to like get into that
state of constant maraca by watching myself that Allah is
watching me.
Because if I get into that state,
I will never disappoint my
because I know Allah is watching. This thought comes to me, Allah
knows it. So I get rid of it.
And we see examples of this in our lives. You're driving along
carelessly, on your cell phone, 75 miles, 95 miles, some people some
of you drive very fast, don't follow the speed limits. The
moment you see a police officer on the side, what happens? The cell
phone disappears, both hands on the steering seatbelt is on 65
miles an hour, instantly.
Now if we had that awareness of Allah watching us, how beautiful
would drive be to him
as a soldier,
this is the end of the second segment. Now we go to the third
segment, which Allah subhanaw taala asked, which has to do with
reminds us of the signs that Allah subhanaw taala reminds us he says,
Fela opossum be shuffled.
Now these are oats as you know, in previous tours, the surah started
with oats. Here there is a variation that the earth comes in
the middle of the surah Allah subhanaw taala says no to all of
those wrong ideas for Allah opposite moon I swear be shuffled
up what is Shafique the Twilight, the redness of the the horizon
after sunset, and some of these last few days last week there was
a beautiful last Monday it was read like anything many of you
have taken pictures or even shared. That is the shuffle. So
Allah subhanaw taala is still telling us that I swear by that
red glow of the western horizon after sunset
while Layli were Ma was SATCOM and by the night and what it envelops
and in shrouds and what warmer means everything that happens in
the night that that the night covers, it's not like everything
just becomes dark. But everything that goes it's shrouded in shrouds
the objects, the created beings that we know
And we don't know the creative events that are going on in the
night, the actions of people going on everything that happens in the
night Allah swears by the night and everything that it covers
while Comrie is that pass up
and I swear by the moon when it gathers together to become a full
moon.
So here Allah subhanaw taala is taking three notes
on his creation and these are cycles it will remind us of
something because the next hire Allah swamper the job of this
custom letter kabuna debacle and tobacco
love Lamb of dark eat, surely what you insane and some there is
another interpretation that this is specifically telling the
Prophet sallallaahu listen but let's first take incent
third cabin per kabuna you will move forward
Rockabye means to write means you will right forward. taba can
unterberg stage after stage,
just imagine there is a journey a horse delivers you from this point
A to point B next horse takes you from point B to point C and so on
so forth. Allah subhanaw taala is telling us indeed I swear by all
of these creations, that you will also progress stage after stage
you have something coming ahead of you you are going to be delivered
from one to the other.
Such as, from your conception to your birth, from your birth to
becoming an infant infant who's walking and talking to one who is
now school going to one who has grown in strength to one who is
now earning a living to one who is now having their own family to one
who has now reached middle age to one who reaches an old age and to
one who reaches enfeeblement and senility till Allah subhanaw taala
says and those whom we permit to get to that long enough, live long
enough, you will become as dependent and as helpless. As when
you were a baby.
You will need to be fed, you will need to be changed. You will need
to be walked you will need to be turned this like a baby.
This is the destiny journey of life that no one escapes or
overturns, no matter how you fight it, you can be on your peloton
24/7 You are going down
it is in stages that are life goes.
What is the relevance with those oats that last mentioned the cycle
of the sun,
Sunrise comes to a zenith and sunsets and what is remaining of
this that there was a sun, the sharp
similarly the night when it gathers its thoughts, you can
still see that it becomes so dark that nothing is visible. And then
the next dawn comes disappears. And similarly the moon, it starts
with a little sliver, a crescent, then becomes full
and then starts to go and then disappears again. Everything is in
cycles. Allah is reminding us of these signs, that your life is
also a cycle.
cycle of life where you will have light and darkness in your life,
you will have cycles of happiness and sadness, of health and
sickness of being a child to being a parent
and so on so forth.
And nothing stops.
We will keep moving stage after stage. You can also take this as a
stage from when Allah created our Arwa our souls and took the notes
of of acknowledgement of history head.
And then that next stage we came into the wombs of our mothers the
soul was buried at four months. And then
we came here and then we go into the graves and the realm of dry to
the day of judgment stage after stage.
And then there is the day of judgment and there are two
destinations the final stage only to destination Jana,
not those who said this is addressed to the Prophet salallahu
Alaihe Salam also talking about the stages of how he was born as
an orphan, and then how he grew up and how Allah
Spatola enriched him out Allah's mantle ennobled and how Allah
subhanaw taala given prophet hood, how Allah subhanaw taala permitted
him to be subjected to, to ridicule and torture and this and
that, that he will go from there to become to start become a
statesman to establish a stage to establish the dean and to
establish the ultimate truth till the Day of Judgment, stage after
stage after stage.
Finally, on the Day of Judgment, the first one to be resurrected,
the first one to be honored, the first the one who will carry the
flag of hummed of Allah on the Day of Judgment, stage after stage to
be entered into the first dose Allah Allah,
the karma machmood stages in the life of Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi salam ala Santella join us with him.
So,
this is the destined journey that we have.
Then Allah subhanaw taala after telling us this, I suppose to
reflect, now he comes into the last part, which is like a
warning.
Allah subhanaw taala says,
For my Allah whom live
then what is math? What is the matter with these people?
When they are called to Allah, they still lie up. No, they do not
believe. They don't even it's so obvious. They don't believe in
Allah. They don't believe in his meeting. They don't believe in His
revelation. They don't believe in His messenger.
It's amazing. It's, it's a question of amazement. What's the
matter with them? It's amazing. It's so obvious.
The evidence the proofs are overwhelming. They're logical.
They're experiential. You experience them they're obvious.
But the place of Eman is the cult. So why doesn't the cult accept it?
Because Allah tells us previously colourable Rana Allah Kulu, Ben,
knee, but their hearts are covered with an impenetrable black veil as
a result of their sinful behavior. So no light can penetrate.
The light of truth cannot penetrate. Therefore they will not
believe they will not believe no matter what proofs are there, no
matter how obvious it is, that even if a lower to come down, they
would say this is magic.
So Allah subhanaw taala challenges us and desires to look at the
signs mentioned before. And look in the ayat of the Quran, which is
the other signs of Allah for proof for certainty of the truth for us
as believers.
And it's important for us to remember that when we stop
noticing the signs of Allah and the universe.
When we just take everything for granted, we don't notice anything.
We will start disconnecting from him as much.
Therefore it's important those of us with an urban lifestyle to go
out in nature to see where things come from.
Otherwise we ask a child where does the
milk and egg come from? They say from Big Y from the grocery store.
Where does this happen? Because that's where they see it's coming
from. Go out in nature see the signs of Allah subhanaw taala
all of that is very important and to reflect on the ayat of the
Quran, which is the next IR last one and Allah says what is the
matter that the don't see all of the signs outside? Not only that,
were either Korea I lay him on Quran lie yesterday.
Where either when Korea when it is recited, I lay in to them upon
them. Al Quran the ayat of the Quran, lie yes you don't. Let's
take 1/32 pause because this is off stage that let us do a search
there preferably facing the killer and then we'll be right back.
So Allah subhanaw taala is saying that when the ayat of the Quran
are recited to them, they do not fall down in such dark to
acknowledge His Lordship and to worship him lovingly, in full
surrender, putting their most prized portion their face on the
ground.
In front of Him in humility,
submitting in front of his word.
This is one of the highlights of the offseason that tilava in the
Quran. As most of you know, there are 15 and that most have agreed
on and some have said there are 14 because some take one surah had
some tech too. And we can talk about in the q&a about the fake
cough says that allow to do it, when to do it. All of that we can
talk later. But let's finish this that Allah subhanaw taala saying
that when they hear these words, they are so powerful, they
understand it, what should be the response of a person of with any
heart of any natural remnant of the fitrah in them, they would
fall down in submission to Allah subhanaw taala in front of his
word that this is the word of Allah subhanaw taala by ladina
Cafaro you cut the bone but instead what do they do? These
disbelievers not only don't fall down submission and such that they
deny and they persistently reject the truth, the truth of the Quran,
the truth of the message of Allah the truth of the messenger
sallallahu alayhi salam, and they deny the Archon of Eman they deny
Allah they deny the revelations they deny the messenger they deny
the Day of Judgment they deny the Accra the Jana and the Hellfire
which they are going to see.
So far

Eileen, two of the attributes of Allah subhanaw taala.
So what is the consequence of what ALLAH knows and what they're
doing? For, as a consequence, though?
Bashir whom the other binary, so then, Bashir, to whom, or
messenger of Allah salAllahu alayhi salam, give them the glad
tidings. This is a sarcasm.
Give them the glad tidings of what that you're going to burn in *.
Bashir on, give them the tidings of what is coming ahead because of
what you do
endless suffering in the Hereafter.
This is the consequence, then Allah subhanaw taala still out of
his, or Rockman leaves the door open. Il Alladhina amanu accept in
spite of all of that, except before you die, am I know if you
believe and do good deeds? Ill Alladhina amanu accept those who
believe and they do good deeds.
For them there is ill Alladhina amanu aminu Salah had long as you
run away Roman noon for them there is a reward Archer, the hero
Mamnoon Mamnoon something that can be cut off that can be diminished,
that can be stopped this is an endless reward. Allah subhanaw
taala lives that hope that if a person who believes
believes in the true sense and shows that belief by good deeds,
Mo salah, prove it with good deeds,
you know, walk the talk for them there is guaranteed guaranteed
viral Mamnoon that cannot be cut off that cannot end that will not
fail that never ending reward from the Lord that no one can take away
or decrease. Compare that with the dunya. No matter how much you
have, what you have, how long you have had, it is always tainted
with something you have fear about losing, you can get sick then you
don't enjoy it. You are struggling to achieve it. Sometimes there's a
decline sometimes it causes stress and finally, even if none of that
you experience you had it, it ends anyway.
But the reward of the Hereafter is eternal.
This is a Surah about inevitability, inevitability of
the Day of Judgment and what is coming
It is not a choice of if it is going to happen, or when it is
going to happen, but the choice of what you want your end to be, how
I want my end to be. So you and I decide
which way to live.
To determine which of the two endings we are going to have.
It is about consequences. In this life we are bound to Allah
subhanaw taala as laws, we have freedom of choice, but we do not
have freedom from consequences of our choice.
We have freedom of choice, but we do not have freedom from
consequences of the choices we made. Every choice has a
consequence good or bad.
In the dunya, the believers are bound and restricted by his laws,
the Sharia, so we
we are bound by that and if we live by that,
we will be free from the negative consequences of his disobedience
in the hereafter you are free, they're
the disbeliever and the sinner, the rebellious one.
He is free from Allah's laws in this dunya.
Do whatever you want.
But you will be imprisoned by the consequences of his disobedience
and action in the hereafter.
The sequence will be reversed. This is the meaning of the Hadith
of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam about dunya sigil Minh with
genital caffeic. The dunya is like a prison for the believer because
he lives by laws restricted. It's not open to whatever you want. And
this agenda of the cafe agenda means do whatever you want. But
the roles are reversed and hereafter their agenda for the
believer and the surgeon of the character, which is Jen.
So Allah subhanaw taala completes the surah. By tying the beginning
the two ends together during the beginning of the Surah, which was
the beginning of the day of judgment, this is how it starts,
is the summer on shapcott. Here it starts and the end he brings with
the two ends the final destination This is the end,
the end of the day of judgment, the final assignment to one of two
places in the hereafter.

and the Jannah of the day the decision of the believer in this
dunya living like a prison has its own joys
of obedience.
When you fast the month of Ramadan Don't you feel happiness? When you
finish obey obeying Allah subhanaw taala with the Sunnah Don't you
feel happy
when our brothers and sisters come back from aamra and hatched on the

to that prison of Allah is a blessing because it has his own
joy in this dunya which they do not know the disbelievers that's
why some of our Salah have said that if they knew what kind of
joys we have inside, they would fight us with their swords for it.
Some of them said you can put me in the present, but my Janna is in
my heart, I'll still be injured.
So let us inshallah with toffee toffee from Allah subhanaw taala
internalize these actualize these in our lives and lead our lives in
a way that we are among the successful we and all of our
families. And that family early in the hereafter is not just the
genetic family, but also a family of believers.
All of us inshallah who are on this Zoom meeting as one family
and all the OMA is one family. We will meet Inshallah, in the
Hereafter, with joys on our faces. May Allah
