Rasulullah wala Ali was so happy woman Wala.
One was Edna Halima wala to the aluminum body, habla anomala

mustache massaman or pullover Zivkovic.
We praise Allah subhanaw taala
and we sent Peace and blessings
on the best of his creation, our beloved prophet muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa salam and his normal family.
And we ask for Allah subhanaw taala as blessings for this
gathering, for our host family, and for all those who have
come to
learn together, the words of Allah subhanaw taala
that are in Surah number 39 Surah Zomer.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to open the hearing channels of our
hearts to his remembrance
and to increase us in useful knowledge, knowledge that
translated into action
and action that is full of sincerity plus for Allah subhanaw
taala action that is accepted by Allah subhanaw taala.
And we ask Allah subhanaw taala to protect us from deviating from the
truth once he has shown us the truth.
So Surah Zoomer is a Moroccan Surah that was revealed when the
Prophet sallallaahu Salam was in Makkah before the Hegira to
Medina, and some narrations
say that the revelation took place around the time of the first
migration to Abyssinia
which means that the persecution of the Muslims of the Muslims had
gotten to a point where it had become hard for them to live in
Makkah and even harder to practice Islam.
So there is an idea that we will see inshallah maybe today
where Allah subhanaw taala gives us permission
to move to a land where you can practice your need.
So that indicates that this took place around that time it was
revealed. So it's a Moroccan surah. And as we know, makan
Surahs have
been the focus is the faith to believe in Allah subhanaw taala,
as he has revealed to us about himself
and about the author to make that a reality we've met we've learned
that over and over again, so that the reality of Accra becomes
embedded in our hearts and it's in the forefront of our minds so that
we prepare for it.
Allah subhanaw taala talks about the rissalah which is the
revelation so the surah we'll start with that that
what are the words that you are listening to? What are they where
did they come from?
So Surah Zoomer takes its name from
Zoomer means groups,
takes his name from two groups that Allah mentions in the last
part of this surah
was sequela, Xena, kapha, Rutila, Johanna mizunara.
That there will be people who will be taken in groups to Jannah and
similarly, you mentioned the second group.
People of Taqwa Jen that is tomorrow. So, this is groups of
people and we know there will be grouping on the day of judgment to
big groups as we know people have the right people have the left
people of Jana, people of Jana, then there are subgroups. You
know, you have the VIPs people who are the MATA cone, the solid who
own the Shuhada special people, you know, the sai moon, you know,
all that special categories that Allah has mentioned among the
believers, who will be like the VIPs, who will be given special
status. So there will be groups and subgroups.
And that's where the surah takes its name.
The theme of the surah as you will see, whatever we cover in the
beginning, is now Allah subhanaw taala is calling us to action. All
this time that we've been learning about Allah subhanaw taala it is
to believe believe in
Allah believe in Allah believe in Allah. Now believe means,
you say with your tongue that you believe
and the belief is in your heart which nobody can see. Only Allah
knows even the munaf Hakuna hypocrites that we believe
the recited the shadow, but there was no belief in the heart.
So Allah subhanaw taala saying if you believe
show by your actions that you believe now we are called to
action, that if you say you're a believer, if you say you believe
in Jana, and you believe in the Day of Judgment, show by your
actions, now it is time for armor.
So for almost four years or more, we have been talking about this
Iman Iman Iman makansutra does believe in Allah believe in Allah
believe in Allah Now it is time for us as a group to take
inventory.
Yes, I believe in Allah. What am I doing to show that I believe in
Allah
with four years of Quranic halacha has, what has changed in my life.
So Allah subhanaw taala is now calling us
to look at our what we call lifestyle.
Because Allah says the deen and then is not just religion. Deen is
a way of life. In today's terminology, this is the way of
life you know. So this is my way of life and way of life. For me,
it's not just in the act of worship to Allah Swan that I'm not
just a Muslim in my five Salah has, or in the month of Ramadan or
at the time of Hajj. But does the Islam does the Islamic injunctions
just the awareness that Allah is watching me permeate into my life,
at work?
In my business dealings, in the way I talk to people, and the way
I treat my neighbors, and the way I treat my spouse, and the way I
treat my children, in every aspect of my life,
am I showing that I am a true believer.
If nothing has changed,
I'm still doing the same acts of disobedience that I did before,
then this is for yours, or extra evidence against us, that you are
reminded for four years, and you did not leave Reba, you are
reminded for four years, and you did not stop lying.
You reminded for four years, you didn't give this up.
So now, each one and again, the idea will come that nobody will
carry the burden of anyone else. In other words, everyone has to
think about themselves. Frequently we are in the habit of looking at
others. He's not doing this, he's not doing this, my husband is not
doing this, my wife is not doing this. No, what am I doing? Because
Allah subhanaw taala has will say it's in the future that
nobody will carry the burden of anyone else. And we learned this
also in last session in Surah Luqman in the end of that, what
did it say that on that day, no son will benefit the father and no
father will benefit the son. In other words, everyone will come
with their own needs. So this is a time for us to look and see
where I was four years ago, or whenever I started attending these
Halaqaat so whatever Allah gave me topic, where am I now? Is there a
difference? Is there a difference that is proportionate to what I
have heard? If it is, then we say Alhamdulillah and we ask Allah
subhanaw taala to keep us on that. And if we find that only very
little change, or now we learn no changes occur, then this is a very
serious problem.
Whatever acts of, of disobedience I was doing, I'm still doing it.
And I'm justifying it by saying when Allah gives me tofu,
or everybody else is doing it that's so and so is a good person
but he also does this. This is no excuse because Allah subhanaw
taala Allah doesn't play around. He's giving you clear
commandments. Allah's Mercy is Rasta, he can forgive anything.
But Allah has also shut the door the COP
is severe in his punishment and he has warned us about over and over
we will hear I Acts about health in this and Taqwa. Protect
yourself out of that fear from that day. So keep this in mind.
That this is some of the
teams that will come and there are some very, very special Iots in
the Surah, one of which has been considered by many scholars as the
IR of the greatest hope in the whole Quran
which will come later on. We won't cover it today, the IR which gives
qualify by the Astra for Alon physical or you have transgressed
all bounds and wrong yourself. Latok Natoma Rahmatullah don't
despair of the mercy of Allah even for those Allah has given chance.
So that's gives hope to anyone, nobody has the excuse that I'm
such a great sinner that there is no hope for me there is always
hope till the soul is extracted
okay. So, some special Iots will come in the sewer.
So out of the Himalayas shape on your Raji Bismillah, Manuel Ratan
Tata down the road Nikita we mean a wall Hill Aziz in Hackney in
keytab. I've been happy for Abu Dhabi learn a MOOC lesson left
with Dean. First these two is last minute Allah says, then the LWL
Kitab Tenzin, the revelation, the coming down of Al Kitab is another
name for the Quran that this book has come down may not Allah from
Allah. This is not from Rasulullah sallallahu This is not from jibber
Adel SLM they are just the conveyors of the message MIMO Ma,
who is Allah, He qualifies himself by two names here, Al Aziz and Al
Hackie.
Aziz means the one that is following Isaiah and full of
might.
The most powerful so Allah subhanaw taala is telling us that
He is the most powerful no matter who you think might defend you
against Allah there is no protection from Allah except with
Allah.
So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us seriously this Kitab don't
treat it lightly. This is from Allah Aziz.
Don't treat its injunctions lightly. They know. You know,
don't play around. Don't try and find ways of going around. This is
from Al Aziz and Al Hakim
hikmah. We mentioned all sorts of Surah Lachman, and Hakeem, the
wise everything Allah is the all wise and everything that you
revealed in the Quran is wisdom.
Now, what is our wisdom, who is a wise among us? Who uses this data,
to extract as much benefit for themselves as they can, and to
repel as much harm as they can, or hold Sharia has one goal,
to draw benefit for human beings and to repel harm? That's the
whole goal of all the Sharia everything that Allah has
legislated, is for our benefit, to benefit us and to protect us from
harm.
Now, if we have been given all of this formula how to do that, and
if we still don't take advantage of that, to protect ourselves from
harm and to draw benefit, can we be called Hacking in any way? Just
the opposite of
that in spite of being given everything you're spoon fed and
you still don't want to benefit from it. So Allah subhanaw taala
tells us introduces this Kitab is from Allah and from no one else.
And even that just if we think of if somebody sits and reflects on
this, that this, these words, Tenzin al Kitab min, Allah, Allah
says, again,
these are words that Allah Almighty who we have no idea of
his His Majesty, he uttered these words, this isn't a diff. This is
his words, that he uttered these. That's why Allah subhanaw taala
says the people whose hearts are clean, when they hear these words,
their skin quivers and the hair stand up and their hearts tremble
because this is who the words so when we have hearts prepared like
that, that these are Allah's words, we are attentive to every
word and every commandment of Allah subhanaw taala What does
Allah want from me? And am I doing it? And if I'm not what is
stopping me and I fix that, and I come to compliance with Allah's
orders today? And if I'm indulging in something that Allah has
forbidden or does not like, I stopped from that today. What has
led me to that I stopped those temptations today.
it so it is to change lives. This whole Quran wasn't revealed on one
day. It came as the IRS scam the Sahaba has lives changed.
They believed and they showed that belief by whatever was necessary.
And Allah subhanaw taala tested them in those early stages most of
the Quran headway with severe persecution you say you believe
prove that you believe they are being tortured they're being
lashed. They're being put in the in the burning sands of Makkah and
stones on them and they're being killed and tortured. Do you
believe yes, I had I had
big tests.
We are not testing.
We have little tests little temptation here literally somebody
calls you tell this somebody little things.
But this is how they were tested.
And Allah smart Allah sort of made them immortal in a way that we
talk about the Sahaba
it's Sumaiya or the Allah Hana was the first one she gave her life
the first person to die in Islam, only for a belief no other thing
and so on so forth.
Then Allah smart Allah says in the NA la Calcutta against dressing in
indeed we have lost one on the plural of Majesty have revealed
have sent down Unzen illegal Kitab la ca to you singular person,
second person Rasul Allah Subhan. Allah is Allah. So this says, We
have indeed We have revealed to you or Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, and after after rasool Allah Surah it is we should read
it as Allah says, I have revealed it to you earlier Hazaragi or to
you, that Allah is talking to me.
Bill help in truth. It's not a game. It's there is a purpose to
life and Allah has told us there is a purpose Allah created you not
as a sport, that he needed entertainment, there is a mindset
for our creation, as he tells us that He created us for his booty
or for his worship. And Allah subhanaw taala says there's a
purpose for revelation of this book. And this book isn't how
is the book is truth. It's all truth because it is from Allah,
the truth.
So Allah subhanaw taala is confirming and he doesn't need to
confirm over and over again that what he is sent down is the truth.
There is no doubt in loughrea Buffy starts right in the
beginning Surah Baqarah larae Buffy in which there is no doubt,
so Allah subhanaw taala saying, in man's Allah illogical, Kitab and
Huck, what should be your response for for means, therefore, so, for
Abu
therefore worship Allah, that should be the response of those to
whom this book is for Abdillah mock lesson. Now this class was
going to come over and over again in the first 1415 is Allah
stressing if last class means purity, purity of intention, that
you worship Allah, only for his pleasure
that there should be no other contamination in your worship,
such as what such as looking good in front of people such as looking
righteous and pious, such as looking generous, such as being
called Al Hajj, such as you know, whatever titles that there should
be no other purpose except Allah that Allah is pleasure.
Mukhlas and love would deem that this is what your way of life is.
Everything you do do with the awareness that Allah is watching
me I am doing for you. And Allah subhanaw taala does not like any
contamination in the near with anything.
And that Atlas is sort of the peak of our Ivana if there is no
AirFloss you can worship Allah for 100 years. Result is zero. In
fact, it's sin because it becomes true.
So this is sort of a serious consideration. We each one has to
look in our near and hear a class is in the heart. It's not some but
something that we can judge sometimes we can't even judge our
own class. Do I have a class? I think I'm doing really good in
Islam. I'm doing this I'm doing that. I don't know if there is
some corruption in my class. Only
Allah knows and only Allah will reveal it on the Day of Judgment.
People may have all kinds of good deeds and we have Hadith about it.
I will read about the Allah on us to faint every time he narrated
this hadith, the Hadith about the three people who will be brought
on the Day of Judgment right in the beginning.
Right in the beginning,
a person will be brought, who was an island and a party to recite
the Quran and teach the Quran
and Allah subhanaw taala will remind him of His favours and ask
him what did you do for me said Yola, I was such a beautiful
Korean I did this and I thought that for your sake, Allah will say
no, you lie. You did it so that you would be praised people would
say Oh, mashallah, what a beautiful voice What a beautiful
recitation What a beautiful this and you got honored, it was not
for me, and we ordered the Malacca to drag him on the face because
into Johanna.
Then a person will be brought
who died in battle?
And Allah subhanaw taala will will ask him that I gave you all these
favorites. What did you do? He said your ally given lay down my
life for you in Riyadh.
Allah subhanaw taala will say yes, you lay down your life but it was
not for my sake, it was because you wanted to be called, you know,
brave and that you know a person of Valor honor, put him in Janome
and the third person is who will remind it will be set your Allah
you gave me so much wealth and I gave it in all good causes for
your pleasure. I spent a lot of money feasability Allah what Allah
will say no, it was not feasible in light was so that you would be
recognized as being generous through him and Jana, but this had
this teaches us that person may do good deeds, when they fool others,
but they may sometimes fool themselves thinking that I'm doing
it for Allah and it's not true.
So, we ask Allah subhanaw taala every time we do deeds, good
deeds, we should thank Allah subhanaw taala we shouldn't feel
proud about it. We shouldn't preferably, acts that don't need
to be broadcast should be done secretly. So that we have some
Atlas. There are certain things you have to do openly you should
be in Juma you should be in the masjid then you should fast when
everybody's fasting and you go for Hajj. So you can hide that from
people, all of that. But anything extra that you do that can be
hidden.
You do secretly so that there is the near doesn't get contaminated
by Ria, showing, you know, showing people and impressing people. So
Allah subhanaw taala, saying worship Allah and your worship is
the big word, not just the formal acts of Ibadah as we mentioned,
the pillars of Islam, but everything else, you know, how we
treat our parents, how we treat our children, how every aspect how
we learn our deen why we learn our deen. Again, we are told that
there are people who learn then to look like they're people of
knowledge, to get honor to earn money, all kinds of things. So we
ask Allah subhanaw taala to always keep us humble, and to keep us
in a state of Eclass for his pleasure, and anything that we
have done that is without a class, to forgive us for that and to make
conditions conducive for us and give us opportunities to worship
Him and to do things that he likes without it being known to anyone.
And we mentioned this the some of the Sahaba and early generations
did things nobody knew
till they passed away.
There's we talked about Sian Abu Bakr Sayyidina Muhammad, there is
a story from a later generation that a person
used to his his wife used to give him lunch. Every day he used to
leave home to go to work.
And then one day he died.
And some person came to the door and said, you know, how is he they
said he passed away? Why do you ask? He said because today I
didn't get my lunch. So the lunch that the wife used to give without
telling anybody in the house he used to fast every single day.
Take the lunch give it to a poor person on the way. Why have you
been denied? That's it last? And sometimes Allah subhanaw taala
exposes that afterwards to give us an example Otherwise Allah
subhanaw taala could have kept that a secret too.
So Allah subhanaw taala again tells us that we have sent down
the book to you on Amazon Malala Salam in truth so worship Allah
alone.
By doing religious deeds sincerely for Allah sake only devoted to him
alone and not to show off and not to set up rivals with online
worship. Allah Lilla he'll be known Hall is again the careless.
Heartless means pure the what looks on the outside is what is on
the inside you cut through it looks exactly the same inside as
outside
that has been emptied colors from every impurity, it's only pure.
Okay.
And here we are specifically referring to the color of the
hearts a heart that's been emptied of all attachments except to Allah
subhanaw taala especially in acts of worship.
And all other attachments are because of attachment to Allah
subhanaw taala that I love my child or love my mother or love my
spouse, because Allah wants me to I love my brothers in Islam
because Allah likes that. Okay, so all my attachments and my love are
secondary to my love and devotion to Allah.
Allah, Allah subhanaw taala saying indeed Lilla hit the whole hall is
for Allah the Dean has to be your way of life has to be pure, a pure
lifestyle, worship and all other acts of obedience, while the
nataka Dolman Dooney earlier and how about Allah can contrast the
college the pure on with the one who take other than Allah as
partners mean? Dooney la hit Olia, they take protectors, they take
helpers besides Him. So anyone who takes a partnership in one way or
the other with Allah, and the people have of courage, but also
Mushrik they did believe in Allah when they were asked, Who created
heavens in the earth, they would say Allah, so they believed in
Allah, but they did not worship Him alone. They had all these
other idols and what was their argument about it? How did they
justify and that was then and it is today
whether we take the Trinity whether we take you know folic you
know, poor quality ism that we see in the Indian subcontinent and
anywhere else, but you have multiple gods goddesses deities.
What is the excuse when they're asked the same man now I will do
him a larly you can read Munna Allama his will follow this, oh,
no, we don't wish it we haven't gone
we will not
be only
worship him, but we worship them because through them, they are
mediators, they will take us
close to Allah subhanaw taala. So they are our facilitators to get
close to Allah subhana
wa Bucha whom we don't worship them Allah except. So we have a
great, great goal we want to come close to Allah, but the ways we
take is through worshiping other things. Ultimate goal is to come
close to Allah Subhana Allah
Allah subhanaw taala says in Allah yeah como Vina whom female
Humphrey here telephone? Okay, that's your claim come with this
argument on the day of judgment on US foreign policy indeed Hola,
como by now from people who disagree with the hate, Allah will
judge between the two
in what they used to differ because today the people will
argue with you No, no, this is the this we are all on good. We all
believe in one but you know, there are this will that when you know,
Allah subhanaw taala saying okay, then come on the Day of Judgment,
Allah will judge between you and everything that used to differ in
Allah, Allah de mon who occurred they don't care for. And Allah
subhanaw taala says indeed he does not guide those who are catnip,
which means liars and en kuffaar. Those who deny deny Allah's
existence and denies favors, both. Anyone who denies the Quran is the
greatest favor. Anyone who denies one alphabet of the Quran is a far
so Allah subhanaw taala, saying, Allah does not guide those who are
liars, liars in every way, just common lying as well as lying
against Allah, which is making up things about Allah, that Allah did
not authorize. And that's what many people say, Oh, Allah is this
Allah is that Allah is this. You know, this is how I see it. You
know, my heart tells you what is your heart? What kind of a corrupt
heart are you coming from? When Allah has told you who he is?
Okay, so, Allah subhanaw taala is telling us that indeed the
religion the way of life is for Allah Allah
and those who take our lair protectors and help us besides
Him, they say we worship them only, that they may bring us
nearer to Allah. Verily Allah will judge between them concerning that
were in the default and Allah guides not Who is a liar and a
disbeliever.
Now, among those partners is people have said that Allah has
taken a son. And the pressure Maca is to say, Allah has
daughters, that the angels are daughters of a Muslim.
And then we have the sun. You know we have some of the groups and
among the Jews said that Hosea
la salah is the son of Allah and of course we have our Christian
cousins who said that Jesus's Son of God so Allah subhanaw taala
here because it's a Moroccan surah is probably is telling us ahead of
time about what the President what we will face what they would face
in Medina, which is the Jews and the Christians spiritual. Low
Arada low aim yet Takeda. What are the lowest of our minimum? Yahoo
Myesha Subhana who Allahu wa a duel.
Lo Arad Allahu Allah if Allah wanted
to take a son.
He could have taken anything
that you create anything you want, because Allah is in charge of
everything. Min Maya loco from what he created, he didn't have to
take one of you we could have taken anything
Subhan Allah,
but Allah is
not in need of any sons or children or any other partners. He
is above Subhana who he is not in need, He is exalted above any such
because giving Allah son or a partner is an insult and abuse to
Allah Allah is above that news. Who Allah He is Allah. Allah hit
one, no partners as
hard as the one who was overpowering overwhelming. Again
Allah is mentioning his power, be afraid of making such allegations
that Allah has a son or a daughter or partners. Because Allah is kaha
take it seriously he is absolute and might he can do what he wants.
So the translation said, Had Allah willing to take a son, or
offspring or children he could have chosen whom he pleased out of
those whom he created, but Glory be to Him. He is above such
things. He is a lot He is Allah, the One the irresistibly
overpowering, absolute in mind.
Then Allah subhanaw taala tells us Holika somehow it will Ardabil
happen. You covered with Layla Allen. Hi, were you covered on the
leg was Saqqara shumsa Well, Pamela Cooley Yejide agilan mucem
Ella who will Azizullah kuffaar And we had similar items with our
look man that Allah created the heavens in the earth you saying
Holika summer what are the seven heavens, the heavens and the earth
been held? In truth, there is a purpose he is indeed it was
created in truth. It's all true. And it is truly created by him.
That's also true. And it has a purpose behind you cover to Leila
and and her and he covers and wraps the day into the night and
the night into the day. The alternation of the day of the
night is not by accident. This is by design of Allah subhanaw taala
and all the forces in the universe that are put into effect so that
we can have a day and night night for us to rest. And then for us to
go out and see his blessings and earn a living and all of that. And
Allah subhanaw taala last hoorah we learned he contracts the day
sometimes contracts the night sometimes they overpower each
other. And again the similar thing was mentioned that n
was Saqqara, shumsa al Kamara and we are subjected the sun and the
moon, for you for your service to give you accounting of time, and
everything else that they do, call me call me Yejide agilan Muslim
all of them will continue in their orbits in the paths that Allah has
determined
agilan was some material or time that is appointed, and then it
will all come to an end.
Okay, so everything besides Allah, as we said last time, has a time
limit. It is programmed for destruction, and
pay attention indeed, who will he
Hello Azeez again same thing that we had in the first i is mighty,
all of this is that is describing us look above reflect on the on
the heavens is His might and have a far far is the, the the
superlative form of one who forgives and performance who keeps
forgetting, forgiving, repetitive, if you keep making mistakes you
forgive, same mistake, forgive, same mistake forgive same, how far
Allah subhanaw taala is again putting both together his might
for us to fear so that we have fear of Allah have disobeyed and
have a far hope of forgiveness. So our lives and many of the iets
will be based on these two very critical
feelings, emotions that we should lead our lives, which is the two
wings as they have been described, of the bird flying to Allah, the
wing of hope and the wing of fear. It's not just one or the other.
If you have too much hope and no fear, then you become one of those
who do whatever they want is Allah is Ever forgiving. And that is
that is not hope that is sort of an illusion. And someone only has
fear then it paralyzes himself from any action or I've done this
mistake No, I'm done. I'm doomed. I can do anything. So Allah
Samantha was telling us both the wings have to be beating fear and
hope our life should be between fear of Allah fear of disobeying
him fear of his his wrath, his zzs for her, and hope is Rahman Rahim.
But far before all of that we should keep in mind.
Allah says He created the heavens and earth in truth for a purpose.
He wraps the night around the day and wraps the day around the
night. And he has subjected the sun and moon each orbiting in a
fixed course for an appointed time. He is truly Almighty most
frequently forgiving.
Now Allah subhanaw taala after reminding us of the heavens, he
now comes to remind looking within he says halacha calm He created
you mean Neff sin Wahida from a single soul who is the single soul
other Malasana
or others, so masala mean huzzah Raja, then from him he created
Xiao Jia, his mate who is that
our mother how our allies
so Allah smart Allah is telling us that you all have come from a
common source. Okay.
Imagine the billion six 7 billion people's genes and genetic codes
were all from that one gene pool of other Melissa including his
wife
his wife was created from him one soul nafcillin Wahida
and then the gender differentiation took place and
then from there the x&y genes are created and so on so forth in
different combinations and all of those little you know amino acids
are put in place so we have different colors we have different
shapes of faces and hair and everything else individual genes
to determine our
fingerprints gene to determine our retinol and corneal pattern gene
to determine the individual what you you spit because new sent for
genetic testing you send your saliva and they'll tell you what
your genes are individual
so ha
ha ha comb enough Silva. So just remember all of you and all of us,
all of us have genes from other mothers.
Original genes have been passed down
from loins to warm from loins to warm from loyal to warm till now
and we have done
this intermixing with different but all from the same source.
What unzila comm mineral and Amorth ammonia as well as and

from that you know from the little thing that will clot type of thing
to that like chewed gum type of thing to something that looks like
a human being at a few months, stage after stage after stage till
you're ready to be delivered Allah Allah subhanaw taala saying, Yeah,
Luca come he creates you in the wombs of your mother's people
Tonio Maha to come Hulka mimbar the hulking fee Lulu mattes, the
last in three layers of darkness. And this is unique to Allah
subhanaw taala anything else anybody is creating the need
light, unlock creates in darkness keeps it secret. Three layers of
darkness the scholar said. One is the abdominal wall, the outer
wall, then the the wall of the uterus of the womb. And then the
what contains the amniotic fluid the the placental membranes, which
contains the fluid, so one layer two layer three layers, Allah
Samantha has kept us protected, comfortable in darkness. Light
doesn't bother you when you have little babies newly born you bring
a light they'll do this. Have you seen them do that make faces like
the newborn? Bring a light bothers them. keeps them nice quiet dark,
they're hearing the heartbeat of the mother. They're hearing other
things. If the if inshallah she's reciting Quran they're hearing
that and they're enjoying that three layers of darkness nobody
knows initially nobody mother even doesn't know it's it's there.
Didn't she misses her cycles and you know she starts to throw up
she has no idea what's growing inside. So ha.
So Allah subhanaw taala is reminding us of how he created us
and just mentioned butanediol, Maha to come to remind us of the
value of our mother's
Nautilus $1 bless all the mothers of the world.
Daily como la hora, poco. This is Allah, your Lord, reminding us of
all of these favors.
And then saying that is Allah your Lord lol Mook, To Him belongs the
kingdom everything belongs to him La ilaha illa who there is no de t
but him
for Unoh to Surah four, where are you going?
Where are you?
astray? Where are you running away? That is Allah and you want
to run away from him?
Look at all His favors. So Allah subhanaw taala is reminding us la
isla, there is no God
in love. This is very special. It starts with nothing. denying
everything there is no God. If you just said Allah is God, someone
could say yes, Allah is God. But there are the gods. That's what
the French said.
La Isla, there is no God
in love, in love. So then comes the affirmation.
The example that somebody gave, which I found interesting, but
Allah is above all example, saying it's like you telling your wife I
love you.
Or telling your wife
I only love you.
But only you've eliminated everybody else.
One of our sisters didn't understand that. One is to exclude
I love no one except you.
Were saying there is no God except
none of us. So here are the translation is He it is Who
created you from a single being and here it is who made from it.
It's made. Here it is who created for you eight kinds of cattle in
four pairs and we talked about those four pairs. He creates you
in your mother's wombs giving you one form after another in three
layers of darkness. That is Allah your Lord, His is the kingdom and
all authority. There is no god but He then how are you being turned
away? How
Are you going astray
then Allah subhanaw taala says, After reminding us all of this of
this great truth, in tactful after all of this, if you disbelieve in
tact follow for in Allah Vani Unum. Allah is not in need of you
and we had the same in Surah la C'mon, Allah is running.
As the Hadith says that Allah subhanaw taala says in Hadith
policy, that if all of mankind
were to develop a heart, that is as bad as the worst of all human
beings, it would not affect online anywhere. And if all of humankind
were to develop A heart as pure as the purest of you, like masala
salons, it would not increase on last month or in his kingdom in
any way because he is Alleghany he is not in need of anything.
So Allah sang in tuck for okay after all of this reminder, if you
disbelieve, then know that indeed Allah is vahanian uncom. He is
independent of you.
Wallah yo Dahlia about the hidden coffee, but He is not pleased with
coffee from you.
He doesn't expect that after all the favors go for is two things go
for is to deny Allah because it also is to deny His blessings.
Okay, that's also sugar and COFRA are opposite and eemaan and COFRA.
So, Cofer means both things, that you are covering the truth and
you're covering the favors of Allah and denying them.
We're in touch guru opposite of gopher. And if you show gratitude
to Allah, your dollar yahoo.com Then is pleased with you. Okay, so
Allah is telling us what is pleased with what is displeased.
And now comes at Iowa, walla Tassie Rue was written with rah
rah, that no soul will carry the burden of Sins of another soul.
Each one of you is only held accountable for yourself and
again, the reminder. We frequently look at others what they are
doing, we should be looking at ourselves, what is my status,
especially in matters of disobedience in my non compliance
with Allah Swanton as murderers? We shouldn't look at if you do
something good. Don't look at yourself. You know, because then
it might give you arrogance. So might think, Oh, I've done I'm
doing great. Look at yourself and your matters of disobedience and
your weaknesses not in your strength. So I get up every night
for hours to hedge hamdulillah Allah has given toffee, keep it
secret, do it. But don't rest on that. Because Is there a class do
you have guarantee we don't know. So therefore, focus on the
mistakes, and know that I am the only one who is accountable for
this, not anyone else. And therefore I don't worry about
anyone else. We make dua for others, we advise others when we
need to. We help them in their moment of weakness if they have
something, but we don't look down on people. That's why the Prophet
salallahu Salam advised us that in matters of dunya, look at people
who have less than you, and that will make you grateful
to Allah that will I have more, don't look in matters of dunya at
people who will have more than you because that will then make you
sort of displeased and
sort of discontent with what Allah has given you.
In matters of Deen, he said, look at people above you. So that is on
mashallah is gone. So I need to chase with them. Don't look at
people who are doing less than you. So he's doing this much I'm
the line but I'm doing more. So our competition, and Allah
smartctl has put in our genes, the spirit of competition, that we
must compete in acts of worship and acts of goodness for the
Ultra, and not compete in the dunya. Because in the dunya,
you're going to get what's already written for you.
That's very important to understand because frequently the
moment we see somebody with something, I want to have that and
compete with them.
So when somebody in matters of dunya, we should give preference
to Oh, you have it. But in matters of Deen don't give preference to
anyone that's why when there is a slot in the first row in the first
suffering, the salah don't sell up. You do take this and I wanted
to because I get the reward for it. Okay.
So don't in matters which will impact the accuracy don't give
preference to others. give preference to yourself.
Okay,
We sent out a
reminder about that great tragedy in Pakistan of these floods, the
whole idea was competition.
You want to compete, compete in this don't compete in how much did
I make in at work? How much did I make on the stock? compete? How
much did I give him the power from that's where the competition
should.
So, Walter zero was written vistra okra, no one no soul will carry
the burden of Sins of another. From then Illa Rob become merger
or come, then you will all return to Allah.
For you, not bill Coleman, then Allah says, He will teach, we will
tell you, he will inform you know that he will inform you, the
American time alone has to watch you used to do in Hua li mu with
that is sudo. Again, a class comes in Allah saying, because indeed
Allah, he's going to tell you what you did. But then he says, Allah
knows what is hidden in the chest. Sudo in the * of men, in the
chest of men means the heart that Allah knows inside, just like he
knows, he gave an example in the previous if he knows what is in
the three layers of darkness, or hearts in the inside to in the
darkness. Nobody knows. Allah saying he knows what's in your
heart. What was your intention when you did something that if
last comes in, it allows again, reminding us in the Surah that
there is a class, you may have done something on the surface. But
he's saying he will, he will tell you for your NAP Bill confer you
not and then you will return to Him and then He will tell you what
you used to do. He knows what is inside your hearts. So that's
very, very important. Again, a class and what we do the
translation, if you disbelieve the know that Allah is truly not in
need of you, nor is he pleased with disbelief from His servants.
But if you become grateful by being believers, he will be
pleased with you with that from you know soul burdened with sin
will bear the burden of another,
then to your Lord is your return and he will inform you of what you
used to do. He certainly knows best what is hidden in the hearts
and chests of people.
Then Allah subhanaw taala gives us a scenario similar scenario to
what we had in Surah Lokmanya and after I finished this I want to
hear from your which was the idea that is similar. Here unless one
Tala says we're either muscle in Santa don't run the Arab Mahamuni
even Elaine
will either muscle insulin and when man is touched mass muscle in
Sano boron by harm something bad happens something harmful happens.
The out of blue he calls he making sincere doorknob. He's calling his
Lord Mooney even turned back to he's completely focused on Allah
fallen full face to Allah in our means to turn back to Allah Now
something has happened some sicknesses come somebody is
diagnosed with cancer some thing has happened and all the wealth is
gone. Whatever it is.
Yeah, Allah say, Yeah, Allah do this, make this go.
Some then either humble Allah who now met Amin, who has and when
Allah Sun owns him with his blessings, and Allah removes that
what had happened.
Nasir Makana yado in a then you forget who he was turning to
when Allah changes those conditions from harm, to benefit
from discomfort to comfort from
lack of peace to peace.
Now he's forgotten, you only turn when this when it was difficult.
What was the idea? If you remember from Surah Lokomat
that was similar.
Yes, when the person the example was when they are on the ship, and
the waves are coming over him now he turns on my said and then when
Allah brings him to safety, same thing we forget so he goes back to
his check.
So similar remind.
You know, I mean capoue wotja, Allah leyenda and then not only
that he forgets but he takes partners with Allah. They will
Lilla unsavoury to
guide people away from the truth.
Not only is he gone astray, but he sets an example
for others to go astray, because in a worldly matter, some person
might be very successful. So people look up to him, but he's
misguided. And he's like this. So people say, Oh, he's doing it. So
let's also do it. So not only is he astray, but he leaves others
astray because of his influence whole
only means what
was this command given to?
You Salalah Listen, not all of the Quran is good, because Rasulullah
sallallahu has to say it right? Whatever Allah says is, but
wherever call comes means Allah stressing that already, he is
supposed to give everything tell you the what is the words are
called Say it. So it's to emphasize what's coming after
that, okay?
So, the coup Fricka kalila, enjoy your customer, your denial, for a
short period of time shorten can be literally short, or your whole
life you can enjoy because that life is still Khaleel compared to
what's coming. It's very short.
In common as have been, indeed you are from the people of fire,
enjoy. You deny this person like this, who Allah challenges with
difficulty to bring him towards him. And then he turns to Allah
and then when Allah removes that, and he turns away and it takes
partner and then he persists in that and misleads others and last
one, Allah says here, that you persist in that, that wait, you
are the people of the fire,
and the translation and when some hurt touches man, he cries to his
Lord Allah alone, turning to him in repentance. But when He bestows
a favor upon him from himself, he forgets that for which he cried
for before, and he sets up rivals to Allah, in order to mislead
others from his bat.
Say, take pleasure in your disbelief for a short period of
time, surely, you are one of the dwellers of the Fire.
When will do inshallah
one more time permits Allah subhanaw taala now asks a
question. And these are the kinds of questions where Allah is the
style to catch our attention. And there is no answer given to the
question. Why?
Why is it no answer given to these kinds of questions? What was let's
see the question first, a man who upon it will
lay the side you don't wanna call him? Yeah, Darren, yet the rule
accurate? Well, you're a Jew rock, matara Be
a man who Allah subhanaw taala saying is one who according to
who's devoted and obedient. And in Laila, who stands at night Sahaja
then
walk called a man who spends his whole life either standing, or in
search, though talking about salatu tahajjud.
Yeah, the room
feeling the presence and fearing the reality of the Hereafter
occur.
Your Jew while your Jew Ramadan and hopeful fearing the Accra
what's coming, but hopeful of Allah's wrath, of rugby of Rama of
Israel. So again, same thing, fear and hope. And this person, a
person standing all night or half the night and 1/3 of the night or
part of the night, or to fear because he can't sleep because
Accra is coming. He gets up as says his sides leave the beds, and
he's standing, and he's in such them and he's making dua, because
he is fearful and he's making dua because of Rama of his.
Allah subhanaw taala is asking the person before the one who turned
away from Allah.
One example and this example
Hello, yes, we are learning Ayala Munna wala Deena Elia Lamone.
Tell them
is the person who knows and the person who does not know or the
equal
that's the question.
Doesn't need an answer. No, because the answer is so obvious.
Look at that person. And look at this person. How can they be
equal? He knows. And the other one here, the example is he knows the
Afra he knows his rub. The other one doesn't know the Quran doesn't
know is up. Whatever distorted opinion he has. Allah subhanaw
taala say Can they be equal? The answer is no.
In
NEMA yet the DACA rule only the people of lobe means of
understanding, understand this.
The translation is one who was obedient to Allah prostrating
himself was standing in prayer during the hours of the night
fearing the hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord like the
one who disbelieves say are those who know equal to those who know
not it is only men of understanding who will remember or
take lessons from these verses.
And one last I will cover today call again important coming call
say to them Yeah, in the leadin
Allah subhanaw taala could have addressed we are always about
themselves he could have said, Yeah, by realizing, oh my servants
who believe putting Rasulullah sallallahu Anisomycin cool. Yeah,
Rasul Allah. Yeah. Nabil Allah yamasa mill Yama Madatha. You
honoring Rasul Allah giving him that special thing? You tell them
aliquid has said himself, that's cool. Yeah. Madalina Oh myself.
Tell them all my servants who believe it Dakota pecan. have
Taqwa of your Lord.
Again, have that fear. That was not just hope. It is fear in the
sense
to protect yourself. One is to fear and to be paralyzed. One is
to have fear, to protect yourself from whatever the danger is. And
here the danger is the anger of Allah subhanaw taala, the Jana the
fire, protect yourself.
The Kurumba come have fear of Allah, of Taqwa of Allah, little
Medina. Then he said, Little Latina accent for those who do so
who do the best.
He had the hit dunya in this dunya whoever real Latina Sanofi howdy
dunya those who do Assam, everything to, to to perfection to
the best ability as if Allah is watching them.
Hassan
for them is good.
As you saw, social Europe, you do good. You will get better from
Allah, you do bad you will get equal, you will not get worse
because Allah has just been giving for good, he gives you more. So
that's Allah smart Allah as Rama.
Now comes that I was out of the lie was
and the earth of Allah is Spacious is vast. This is what gave the
permission for migration.
In other words, if you cannot worship Allah, if you're not
permitted to worship Allah, where you are, because of whatever type
of rule you're living in, there's a note you're not allowed to pray,
you're not allowed to worship you're not allowed to this, Allah
says
are the law he was the author of Allah as Vasya move, migrate to a
land where you can worship Allah where you can follow your day?
Okay. So there is never an excuse for a person because this was for
the people of Makkah. They couldn't practice Allah says
today, what is our most common reason for migration?
Money better jobs
for a spouse, my
wife to be live in California, so I will move to California. Right.
Right. People moved from across the continent.
So and it happened at the time of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
who remember in the first hadith of Bokhari, it is
that one person migrated to marry a woman
so that he was known by them.
So Allah subhanaw taala is saying that his Earth is vast in NAMA,
you are facade Arun Agera humble
and it's only for those who are sober in Sabah does not mean sober
means when you under difficulties, very tight situation great deal of
harm coming your way. You are patient and you are persevere and
you don't let your deen go no matter what happens.
Those are the Cyberoam Allah smart Allah says in ama it is only for
those, you are facade Runa Agera, whom we receive, the reward is be
ready for Sam.
If you do a good deed, Allah subhanaw taala. Generally his rule
is he gives you a reward 10 times to 700 times
So, but if your good deed is qualified as associated with sub,
then there is no accounting of 10 Times How Will it be raised?
Unlimited reward.
Now we don't ask Allah subhanaw taala to test us with great
difficulties that we have solved. But whenever he just says, Let us
be patient and persevere, no complaining, doing things till
Allah Swanton removes nothing less ease and comfort doesn't last. And
difficulty and harm doesn't last because nothing in the dunya lasts
in cycles. So hang in there till it passes and you will qualify as
a SAR.
And we had a beautiful example last week about this. When
beautiful brother from Somalia lost his 23 year old girl just
dropped dead last just like last week. And you should see the sub
on the span lesson for all of us. So I was just jealous of that sub
I said, you know, is giving us a lesson in several now what would
be his reward? Be rare herself, no company nothing.
Destiny, Eliza Mona finished
and we can really talk about it because we don't know what it
feels like to lose a 23 year old child or a young child.
We lose our parents we expect that were to lose a child.
So Allah subhanaw taala has tells us Surah la sala listen I'm sailor
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, to my slaves, all my
slaves who believe in the Oneness of Allah. Be afraid of your Lord
and keep your duty to Him. For those who do good accent in this
world, there will be a good reward. And Allah's earth is
spacious. So if you cannot worship Allah to place, go to another.
Only those who are enduringly patient, and perseverant shall
receive the reward in full without reckoning or account.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to
reward us
with
without accounting and that Allah's mantle also not take us to
account for our misdeeds and that
Allah subhanaw taala treat us not with his justice, but with his
mercy with his Rama
for all of us and for the entire Ummah, rasool Allah some lawyers
we ask Allah subhanaw taala to make these words of his
sort of embedded in our hearts and manifested by our actions and pure
words that purify our hearts to a state of a class only for his
pleasure. So we are going to Inshallah, and
this session, it's been just over an hour and inshallah we even in
life Allah smart Allah gives us life and Tofik we will meet in a
month since I'm going to be away for the early part of most of the
middle of September inshallah. So, we will open this up for questions
and comments Subhanak Allama Hambrick Masha Allah in
two
