Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Bismillah
Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah while Allah He was
happy woman, wala
Malama Zina Elma wa ala to the Illumina about the data or Hubble
anomala dhankar. In I can tell you
we ask Allah subhanaw taala to open our hearts to his remembrance
and to accept this gathering
from us, and make it purely for his sake, email last minute Allah
help us to internalize what we hear, and what we study together
of the second part of Surah Al Mulk that we started
last time two weeks ago.
So just to recap briefly, we started Surah Mulk a very special
Surah that will intercede in the grave and protect from punishment
of the grave that will intercede on the Day of Judgment, till the
person
enters Jannah and it is a special Surah that the Prophet salallahu
Alaihe Salam used to recite every night according to some
narrations, and that you wished that all of his ummah would carry
it in their hearts. And as we said, the surah first started with
the Most Blessed is the baraka, Allah, wa the hill mulk, the one
who has the Dominion, which is Allah subhanaw taala and that he
is an absolute and complete control of everything, that He is
the One who created life and death, to see who is the best of
actions. And he tells us to reflect on the heavens that he
created the seven heavens, and that we should reflect and find
any any fault with it, and we wouldn't we would bet get
fatigued. And it tells us that you decorated the lowest heavens with
the stars, which are also used besides beautification for chasing
away the shouting, will try and reach beyond what they're
permitted. And also, as we learned as a guide for the travelers that
night.
And then Allah subhanaw taala tells us about the people who
disobey Allah subhanaw taala that Allah subhanaw taala has created
the Hellfire for them the punishment of the Hellfire
mentioned
quite vividly in multiple Iots about the sound that the Hellfire
will will make and it'll be ready to burst out just like fuel is
being thrown into the fire because the fuel of the Hellfire is men
and stones as Allah subhanaw taala says that it will be burning with
fury. And as the keepers the angels who got it, keep throwing
crowds of people in there, they will ask them didn't want to come
to you. And they will say yes, he came and they will acknowledge it
and then they will say
we said that you know you're a liar and we denied them and then
they will show their regret. They said if we had used our minds if
we had used our intellect, we would not be in this predicament
of the hellfire and they will confess their crimes. So Allah
smart Allah gives us that scene and then he gives us the opposite
scene where he says and those who have reverence or and fear of loss
Muhammad Tala and standing, who have that Yaqeen that they will
stand in front of Allah subhanaw taala. For them, Allah subhanaw
taala has forgiveness and our journey can be a great reward. So
that is the end of iron number 12 that we covered last week. So with
that brief recap inshallah we will start with iron number 13. And now
the ideas that are coming our IRS where we need to reflect
all the we lay him in a shaytani R rajim. Last one Allah says we'll
assume rucola Column A which has to be in column B that is sudo.
Allah subhanaw taala says what a so rucola calm and if you make
secret what you say your words are weird you huddle be or you are
Jeff, you are loud and apparent with them. In other words,
whatever you want to say whether it's secret
He said or loudly said in Hua li Moon be that the pseudo Allah
subhanaw taala indeed he knows even what is inside your hearts.
So whether you try and hide it, there is nothing hidden. There is
nothing secret from Allah subhanaw taala because he not only knows
what you have said, but he also knows what's in your heart, what
you are thinking what you have not even expressed by your words. So
he knows your intentions, He knows your plans, He knows your
thoughts, what is within the chest, everything is fully known
to him, it's like an open book, and he knows it better than we
know ourselves.
So Allah subhanaw taala tells us in this ayah it's sort of a
challenge, that no matter what you do, what you say or think, it is
not a secret from Allah subhanaw taala therefore, what should that
do to you? Therefore, logically, if you know that, and you believe
in that, then you should make the right choices at all times, in all
places, you know, under all circumstances, in your thoughts,
your thoughts should be righteous, your words should be righteous,
your actions should be righteous because
Allah subhanaw taala knows all of it. So if you're a thinking
intelligent person, make the right choices. Then Allah subhanaw taala
says in the next if
Allah Ya Allah Moo man Holika will who will not the full Hubby, Allah
subhanaw taala asks a question. Allah Allah. Does he not know who
mon halacha the One who created? Does he not know his creation?
I mean, we know if you if you make something, you are the best in
control of you, you know everything of its details if you
are an engineer, if you're an architect, so Allah created
everything, don't you think? Isn't it so obvious that he knows the
details of everything of who he created, what he created? What
what?
One halacha Well, one latte for hubby. And he is is a Latif
Latif is one of the special names of Allah subhanaw taala, which has
multiple shades of meanings. It is translated most often in the
English language as subtle, which doesn't mean much, which means
something that's hard to perceive. So Latif is also soft. Latif is
also generous. Latif is also merciful, one who watches over
every detail. He's detail oriented, he shows his mercy in
the minute just affairs of your life.
That's a Lateef,
that when He shows His mercy, it may be so imperceptible, so subtle
that you don't even notice that this is our law.
So he is Latif
Latif, a hobby,
hobby, one who is informed of everything again, highlighting
what came before that he knows even what is within you.
So he was Panatela is taking care of every need of yours of mine.
With his not with his merciful benevolence,
yet he is doing it from behind the scenes
that you don't see it obviously. Because he is doing it from behind
the veil the curtain of as Bob of means, we see things happening,
but we don't know who is behind. Inshallah we know who's behind,
but we don't see it.
So these two Ayat are speaking as you know, two groups were
mentioned, those who reject and those who are shown above and
below those who are afraid of Allah subhanaw taala. Who have
Reverend or that these two Iots are speaking to both group of
people, one that are being warned, who are under Invar warning, the
one who are prone to make bad choices they are being worn by
this that he knows and also the ones who have fear of Him that
people have dubbed shield Bashara. They're being made aware that
Allah knows that you are making the right choices
And therefore, your outcome is going to be a good outcome. It's
going to be Allah subhanaw taala as pleasure. So both groups are
being warned and given Glad Tidings to these two pilots. Next
Allah subhanaw taala says, who will lead the janela? C'mon out of
the balloon and functional fee monarchy beha Buckelew Mariska he
will la Hindu Chu
who will lead the he is the one Jalla lac, whom will Arruda the
Luna nog grammatical structure here altered to specify that he is
the one who made exclusively for you the earth.
Value law of Alolan means something that yields to you that
submits to you, that offers itself for its service.
So Allah says that he is the one who made the earth, the Loulan
yielding to you
to make it easy for you to live on it. Well, let's reflect on that.
What does that mean? That Allah made the earth soft, so you can
dig it.
You can cultivate and grow things in it. You can use it to build for
construction,
for farming and many other uses.
If he wanted, he could have made it only all jagged rocks.
He made most of the earth flat and plane for you to travel easily.
Yet he put mountains to stabilize it.
Can you imagine if it was only cliffs and mountains everywhere?
How difficult it would be if the earth was only rocks? What would
you be able to grow?
Or even worse, suppose Allah subhanaw taala had made this earth
made out of iron.
Ore let's go richer if the earth was made out of gold, pure gold,
the whole earth? How would you live on it?
What could you do with it?
What would the temperature be of that goal with the sun shining on
it?
Yet he did not make it like that. And on the other hand, he did not
make it so soft. That you cannot walk on it. Can you imagine if it
was like the sand dunes? Or like, you know, what is it the
quicksand that you couldn't walk on it every effort you put in you
sunk in it? How difficult would it be?
So Allah subhanaw taala just reminding us by us, just look at
this earth he made it valuable and yet we take everything for
granted. Unaware of the blessings of Allah subhanaw taala and what
it could have been
then Allah subhanaw taala after reminding us of this, he says,
Fung Shui monarchy via function means travel, walk around, walk
through the Earth, monarchy her through its various reasons
through its mountains through its valleys through its planes.
monarchy comes from mancha means shoulders, you know things that
stick out so the mountains that stick out
the sides, Allah subhanaw taala tells us some have some of the
more faster on the scholars of tafsir have said that this refers
to mountains because they stick out they're strong and the valleys
that Allah smart Allah says travelled through the earth
through the mountains through the valleys through the plains. What
could you mean recipe and eat all over his risk of His provision?
Allah smart Allah say, travel, seek all type of your risk. Risk
is the provisions and under provision is everything that you
need, and we'll talk about it in a minute.
And Allah subhanaw taala loves people who make an honest effort
for acquiring the risk and yet they put their trust they have
debacle in Alaska
an example of this is one time so yet know how Mr. epner photogra
The hola one Amira meaning came to muster the Navi and you saw people
sitting there, not doing anything. They were just sitting there, he
said and who are you people? They said, We are motiva Chiune
we are the people of our cool means we are just sitting here
Allah will we have Tawakkol Allah will provide for us and he said
no, you are metaxalone You are those who are just waiting for
food to come you are the freeloaders In other words,
encourage them go and seek your work for your risk.
Then Allah subhanaw taala says
What la hinzu. In other words,
go travel the odd secure risk. But remember la Hindu shoot again the
glam rock grammatical structure, you lay him giving press that only
to him.
To him alone is your new shoot your resurrection.
Allah subhanaw taala is reminding us not to forget the day of
judgment when we travel in the earth. When we see the beauty of
the earth when we enjoy the blessings of the earth, when we
are seeking his risk, Allah subhanaw taala says keep that
always in the back in fact in the front of your mind, that you're
constantly moving, traveling towards the day of judgment. So
don't ever forget that because that will keep you from doing what
you might regret on the day of judgment as you enjoy the
blessings of Allah.
So, Allah subhanaw taala is telling us travel through the
Earth, seek ALLAH subhanaw taala as risk eat, use it enjoy
and one day you will be
gathered back to him your resurrection nasura actually means
to spread. So, some of the scholars have said that from that
little tail bone when Allah puts everything together, this body
will unfold nakshatra unfold and gather and some have said that on
the Day of Judgment people will then be spread out into different
groups. So, the natural means spread out into different groups,
the people have the right the people of the left the people in
the forefront, then the grouping according to who followed which
messenger and so on so forth.
So that is this idea that after this comes on number 16 Now Allah
subhanaw taala is asking some questions. And these ideas are is
of warning. Allah subhanaw taala says I am number 16 Amin to
Memphis sama and he actually forbid come out of Darfur either
here tamo Amin to manifest a question, do
you feel secure? Allah is addressing
mankind especially the kuffaar
Do you direct address without telling the Prophet Salla lesson?
Tell them and that will come later in the Surah omentum Do you feel
secure that the one the month is summer the one who is in the
heavens?
Now don't take that literally because Allah subhanaw taala is
not contained in the heavens, or the earth, or in his creation. He
is above a stone, a little harsh. But what is meant by this
figuratively is the one who is above you when he says in the
heavens. Because no heaven can contain Allah subhanaw taala the
heavens is creation. So do you feel so secure that the one who is
in the heaven?
Amen. Yes, if I may call out
that he will not cause the earth. Yes, if our means to make the make
you sink into the earth, the earth to swallow you.
Do you feel secure that you're walking on this earth that you are
so secure, because feel so secure?
Before that the eyes of the Earth had come off is made it for you,
you know, the Loulan submitting to you but don't take it for granted.
Because Allah tells us that the Earth can swallow you just like
the oceans can swallow you. And Allah Samantha has given us the
example. I hope some of you remember that there was among the
Israelites at the time of Musa al escena, a person who was related
to him who was very arrogant and proud about his wealth, and his
name was our own.
And Allah smart Allah mentions in the Quran that the earth opened
and swallowed him in the people with him that will like him and
all of his wealth.
Then interestingly, it is also mentioned in the Bible in the
chapter called numbers under the name of Korra that the earth
swallowed him.
So Allah subhanaw taala says the earth don't feel secure that you
are here and there is no one in charge. Allah has shown us
examples of the quicksand he has shown us sinkholes that we see.
And on a larger scale. If we look at the history of the earth, there
were super continents that disappeared. There were super
oceans that were solid back. And so there have been cycles of
millions of years of super continents and super oceans where
portions of the earth get interned oceans
entered into the earth and something else comes up.
So Allah smart Allah says, don't feel secure that the earth will
not secure and will not swallow you and doing all the disobedience
for either here at thermo and he says when it shakes like a quack
and it becomes level. So, you know the example is you know if we take
a big sack of grain and we're taking using a cup, you know,
digging out some wheat for example or rice and you put the cup in and
the and the rice slowly starts to come on top of it and if you shake
it, it just covers it as if nothing existed. So that's the
example that we could get swallowed up Allah's mantle as
giving a warning that don't be so arrogant and don't feel so secure
that the earth on which you travel will not swallow you up.
Then another warning comes, but I'm in to Memphis summer in your
Salam aleikum Hacienda for citta Allah Munna que finally.
Or do you feel secure that the one who was in the heaven
and your Salam aleikum has ever that he will not unleash? From
above you?
And send like a raging storm of stones or little pellets that will
rain down on you like hey,
that Allah subhanaw taala makes the rain come down we experienced
the team makes the small hail come down it makes total big hail come
now and he can rain stones which he has at times like on the people
of local SLM and so on. So, you know, baked clay pellets came last
month Allah says Why do you feel so secure that if you disobey
Allah subhanaw taala this will not be your fate. That he will rain on
you stones? First Attalla Munna Kayfun Aviv so that finally, you
come to know by experiencing that of how true was My warning? Okay,
for now the V. It's Nadi navire. How
what kind was My warning and can also mean my Warner In other
words, take the warnings seriously Allah Subhana Allah is giving us
two warnings in the next eye on number 18 Allah subhanaw taala
says well cannibal Levine I mean Kubla him for K for cannon Nikki.
And indeed now Allah smart Allah is mentioning for the kuffaar of
Makkah, because the makan surah and for kofod of all times and for
all of humanity, while rocket cannibal living I'm in Kabul him
that your denial of Allah subhanaw taala is not unique, because there
were indeed people
who denied Allah subhanaw taala
before them before these people, the Quraysh Allah mentions
the past histories of previous nations, that indeed those who
came before them, also denied Allah subhanaw taala. They denied
his revelations, they denied His messengers who came before they
deny these warnings, and the challenge the messengers, they
would say, Bring on the punishment, if you are true.
Then Allah subhanaw taala said, then the punishment did come.
And it came at his command. And it came on a timeframe that he
determined not by their request for kafer cannon a key than Allah
subhanaw taala says, then how terrible and how awesome was my
destruction, my rejection of them,
how I denounce them, how I denigrated them, how I destroyed
them, how I disgrace them, Nike denied
as if they didn't exist. So the ones who were rejecting the truth
became the ones who were rejected.
So this idea also implies that those who are rejecting the
message, which would be subjected to the same or worse punishment
and destruction in the dunya and then what is waiting in the Accra
is even worse.
So this is for us also a reminder because what we see sometimes we
get impressed with, so Allah subhanaw taala, saying, Don't be
fooled by those who disobey, who reject the truth. Don't be fooled
by their worldly success, by their
technological progress, by their military power, by their wealth.
Those who reject this message, Allah subhanaw taala can disgrace
them and utterly destroyed them in one second, everything can change
And we see the tiny examples of this destructive power, the janal
of Allah subhanaw taala. When we experienced paralyzing snowstorms
when we see volcanic eruptions, when we see earthquakes when we
see tsunamis, when we see tornadoes, hurricanes, no matter
how sophisticated and powerful the nation is, its broad on its knees.
These are tiny, tiny soldiers of Allah.
So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us learn from history, history is
for learning.
That there are nations that are much more powerful, that don't
exist that were destroyed, destroyed only because they
rejected the truth.
Then Allah subhanaw taala says,
our lamb Yarrow Illa 24 paham saw farting while you're bitten. Ma
Yun sicko, Hoonah Illa Rockman in who will be equally shame Buffy.
So if you're looking at the Earth, and all of these phenomena now
Allah subhanaw taala asks us to look up into the heavens and
marvel at the birds. Allah subhanaw taala says, our lamb
Yarrow Illa toy reform
Do they not see above them the birds
Sarfati workman so far to means spreading their wings, we have
been pulling them back, spreading them and pulling them back.
Interestingly, Allah subhanaw taala first mentioned the
spreading
and if we study the mechanics of the birds, they spend more time
with the spread wings spread out than withdrawn. So unless Montana
gives us that hint.
And Allah Swan Talisay Do they not see the birds now he just says
birds. As some of you might know, when you look at the birds, there
are more than 10,000 species of birds. And each one has a
different flight pattern. Different signature, Allah
subhanaw taala saying we look at them and study them.
And science tells us that the flapping flight where you have
mobile wings is much more difficult than fixed wing flights
like we have on the airplanes, because the dynamics become
unsteady when they're flapping. So Allah subhanaw taala saying
marveled at this, who keeps them up?
Because this is an interesting example because through the ages
and even today, starting from childhood, I don't know if you had
the experience. We always wanted to fly. We'd like to be pilots. We
dream even in our dream sometimes we are flying.
Flying has always fascinated men.
Now Allah subhanaw taala saying just look at the birds flying. And
then he asked the question, Who keeps them up?
My Yun Seco Hoonah Illa Rahman Allah subhanaw taala says who?
Yun Seco Hoonah who holds them up in the heaven except a rough man.
And he uses that, that this is his mercy that he holds them up. Now,
Allah subhanaw taala just tells us to ponder on this. What does it
take to fly
man with all of his intelligence, how long it took him to learn to
fly to to make things that can fly and how they fail.
Yet Allah subhanaw taala adapted the birds
for flight they were made to fly. So let's look at some of the
scientific facts.
To it to be able to fly you need to be light. So Allah subhanaw
taala made the bird the bones of the birds hollow
and then he covered them with feathers which are light.
He did not give them teeth and a nose because they are heavy to
chew.
To insert that he said they will eat these hard things, these
grains and the seeds where they will not chew it but he put a
gizzard in their stomach which will grind it right there.
He made them lay eggs so they don't have to carry the baby
inside that would make them heavy.
And he made the diet
tiny but very rich in using very high usable energy.
A lot of calories in small quantities. He didn't give them
bladders to carry urine in them and become heavy so that I
excrete as soon as it's produced,
and then so made them light then Allah subhanaw taala made the
tails in the wings, the wing bones very small proportionately, and he
attached the wing bones in the front to keep the set because you
need to have the center of gravity dead in the center to fly. So for
the birds when they spread their wings, the center of gravity is
exactly between the wingtips in the center, and from the tip of
their nose to the tip of their tails. That is exactly what the
center of gravity is dead center, so that it makes it easy for them
to fly, every part of the body is adapted to fly.
Now birds have lungs, they hold very little air, and they are kept
flat against their back back ribs, they don't take hold of the chest
because then the center of gravity would move down, but Allah has
moved everything else into the chest. And then from those thin
little lungs, there are air sacs in the belly lower part to keep it
light so that the center of gravity is in the right place.
And he made the lungs specially efficient to extract oxygen at
high level.
So when we see birds flying as Allah tells us look, you will see
some birds flying with the neck stretched out.
Forward, like the cranes, and some of them you will see flying with
their necks pulled back
like that.
This is like the herons. And why is that? Because just by moving
the neck straight forward or back, they make the center of gravity
exactly where they should be.
Now, Allah says look how they fly. We have the big birds Albatross,
which has 10 long wings, the albatross can glide and soar for
200 Miles four hours without a single beat.
On the other hand, we have hummingbirds this size that cannot
rest their wings for a second. Do you know what's the frequency of
the beating of the hummingbirds average 53 beats per second as
high as 80 and sometimes 100 have been recorded per second. They're
beating
and they're not just beating it's a figure of eight like this.
And the little bird their heart rates are at 12 163 beats a minute
and these little hummingbirds that are this size
beating at that rate
they cross the Gulf of Mexico
to come into Texas and ultimately to Canada the days fly nonstop 500
miles across the Gulf of Mexico in 20 hours multiply 20 hours by 60
minutes by 60 seconds and multiply that by 53 beats no fueling no
stop across the ocean they reach across the Gulf of Mexico. Hola
smile Bella sang Look at that.
Look at the flight patterns. The woodpecker swooped down, the crow
flies in a straight line and the swallows darkened every which way
they go.
Unless one fella saying just look at that, who holds them up who
created this panel a lot for us to
to be humbled with
a lot of luck man, this is a rock man in who we could only shame
Busey. And indeed he sees everything he sees every bird, he
sees every butterfly, he sees every insect in the darkness of
the night. In the in the bottom of the ocean, he sees every fish, he
sees every creature under the mountains. And of course, he knows
everything about the best of his creation, which is an insect.
So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us about his knowledge about his
awareness, so that we become aware of him
now we come to iron number 20 After reflecting on this Allah
subhanaw taala says,
A man had a lady who are just do like them young Sudoku men dunya
Rockman in El Cafe Runa elaphiti Waru Allah subhanaw taala asks a
rhetorical question.
The question the purpose of this question is to remove
of the delusion of the disbeliever
because the disbeliever only sees power
and wealth and benefit in worldly means. Allah subhanaw taala is
asking a question.
And Manhattan Ludy June doula communion Sirocco.
Do you feel safely secure, which is that army that can come to your
help and protect you from Allah? Nan from eternal punishment, which
is the army.
And men have a Legenden lecan which is this army for you, that
can help you.
Men don't ever man other than a rock man.
Again, showing his mercy that in spite of this, man is inviting
you.
Allah Subhana Allah is telling us look in history. Look at the
armies of around what happened to them. They drowned. Look at the
armies of Alexander the Great.
Gone small island is left look at the armies of Napoleon gone look
at the German armies gone look at the Roman legions god, look at the
British Empire gone last month, who can sustain you? All of these
were given temporary hegemony, the power to dominate and leadership
for a period of time by Allah.
Allah subhanaw taala saying come back to our man.
Do you have a backup plan?
Can anyone protect you? The answer is no.
In a careful Runa elaphiti Guru indeed, and Catherine are in Waru
in delusion.
And here Allah subhanaw taala uses Cafe rune which is the verb is the
noun as opposed to mine yet for the verb because the noun is
permanent, and verb keeps changing means careful rune, those who will
remain disbelievers, those who are disbelievers in the past, who
persisted those who will come not just the crash, but even in the
future, the calculon they always live in this false reality of just
thinking that dunya will will do this for them. They are fee war or
war means complete delusion.
The completely deceived
in Allah subhanaw taala uses the word ruler, a ruler means the one
who deceives and Allah uses that for shaitan and his forces and
people who are like shaitan who deceive people. So here Allah
smart Allah saying the Katha Luna fever or they are immersed,
they're fully surrounded, the in delusion, they are self deluded,
in spite of all of the evidence, all of the fears and blessing of
Allah subhanaw taala they deny and they are still going off wrong
assumptions.
Then Allah smart Allah asks another rhetorical question.
A man had the leather years of soccer riska Bellagio fiato been
wonderful. On this one on Tala again wants to remove that
delusion, the deceit of the disbeliever Do you feel secure
that your risk
and as we said risk is every provision everything that you need
to be sustained to live, whether it's your food, because sometimes
you only think risk means money. It's your food. It's your drink,
it's the air that you breathe, it's the shelter, the protection,
the clothes, the wealth, the health, the family, the offspring,
the companionship, everything that you need. Is your risk. Allah
subhanaw taala says
a man heatherly Yasuko come in um soccer is
who is the one who will provide you in unsick in unsanitary Skyfi
with holes it if he Allah subhanaw taala were to withdraw or to
withhold from you his risk because it all belongs to Him.
It is sent down from him from the heavens from the summit. Because
Allah smart Allah says in surah Zarya, he says with this summer it
is Kokoon were mad to Adam and it's in the heavens. That is your
provision, it is there and that which you were promised.
Now, what do we see coming down from the rain? We don't see things
coming down except things like rain and rain and risk have
parallels because rain itself is a risk water. Because water gives
life without water. There would be no life, but risk is similar.
Rain is unpredictable. Your risk is unpredictable.
When the rain is going to come, when your risk is going to come,
where the rain is going to come when where your risk is going to
come from, and you there is no control of the rain with anyone
except with Allah. Similarly there is no control of risk with anyone
except with Allah.
So Allah is reminding us by asking this question, who will provide
for you risk if Allah pulls it back? But then the answer is
obviously no one except Allah. Then he says, been led you feel or
to view wonderful. B'nai led you. Allah denies their position is a
luxury means they persist, they insist. They argue, adamantly.
They're stubborn, it's like, you know, like when you have a lawyer
that keeps arguing in court, they're like that they keep
arguing, keep arguing against all the evidence that Allah has
presented fiato will, because they are immersed in auto means
opposition.
Opposition to the truth, one to four,
in the arrogance, in the disobedience.
And before also means something that is scattered men that run
away that rebel because of their severe aversion
to the truth, because that truth goes against everything they like.
Everything that they're used.
To hear, we have to think, do we sometimes behave like this as
Muslims, that the truth is presented to us
and we run away from it, because then we have to look inside of our
inside us for traces of develop.
Because it is said
that the completion of Eman
is to trust what is in the hand of Allah more than what is in your
head?
That you have greater trust in what Allah possesses of your risk
than what has already been in your hand in your possession?
Because Allah subhanaw taala tells us in Allah, who are reserved, the
Kuwaiti Mateen
in law, indeed, verily, surely it is Allah alone, who are only he
Takita after kid after kid stressing our resolve the supreme
provider Arrazola not just raazi xOP
the supreme provider of everything, for every creatures
need dual Kuwa the owner of power and Mateen mighty in strength able
to do what he wants.
Why number 22 Allah subhanaw taala says,
ammonium she McKibbon Allah which He had the ammonium she's a winner
la serata Mustafi Allah subhanaw taala compares the two. He says
for me yam Shem McKibbon Allah wa G then is the one who walks on his
face. Cuban means something upside down so we walk on our feet you
put it down you're somebody who's walking on his face. Da Morgan
guided then ammonium she's so we Anna la serata musta who was
walking Amorites upright so we en Allah serata Musa pain on the
straight path? Who is more rightly guided? The answer is obvious. We
don't have to answer. The one who walks upright on a straight path
is one group, the ones who do that, and the other is who's on
his face. Now, some of the companions of Rasulullah Salallahu
Alaihe Salam said jharsuguda
Who walks on their faces. And he salAllahu alayhi salam said that
the One who created you and made you walk on your face on your feet
can make you walk on your face
like a dog, keeping his sniffing along the ground looking for his
risk
as opposed to one who walks upright, noble as a human being.
Also, as we know from the Hadith on the day of judgment
that the calf Iran who have been thrown into Janome will be dragged
on their faces into Johanna.
That is also the end result of those people or those who are
rightly guided. Who is more right
rightly guided Allah subhanaw taala say. So the face represents
the symbol
of arrogance, that those who turned up their noses and
arrogance will be humiliated on them.
So Allah subhanaw taala, saying one is guided and allowed to use
his hearing is seeing his perceptions
versus the opposite who's not guided, because he is only guided
by his desires, he follows only his desires.
So after these iets know Allah subhanaw taala switches the mode
of address in multiple IRAs that will start with who
is telling the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa salam, you
tell them tell them or messenger in other words are last month and
are no longer wants to address the caffeine directly
in the second person like he was doing, because this is a sign of a
mass fontainhas displeasure with that.
So he's saying, You tell them or Muhammad salallahu Salam, and yet
he is good conveying the message to them still odor of his Rama he
still wants them to take heat.
So then what does he do out of his Rama? He asks the best of his
creation sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to convey to them the
message of the truth and the warning as he SallAllahu Sallam is
the most effective communicator the best.
So Allah subhanaw taala says
I am number 23 all who were lady insha Allah can watch hola hola
como somehow, whenever sada when either by Allah Madhesh Quran
called se to them or messenger for loss en La La Jolla. Salam who
Allah the unshare icon, he is the one who brought you into being by
his Mencia by his when he created you what your hola como semana,
while Basara while F EDA, and he's the one who made for you the
ability to listen to hear to decode what is coming through the
sound waves
hearing
and absorb
the ability to see when either he gave you hearts for you to
comprehend, to recognize the signs and give you that noble container,
which is the seat of the man, which is the seat of emotion,
which is the seat of love, which is the seat of inclination, which
is the seat of passion, which is a seat of Taqwa.
He gives you that to filter all of the information that's coming from
your eyes and ears and what you hear and what you see. Filter it
properly have the right filter so that you recognize your Lord.
And you recognize His grace and blessings upon you. And he says
Olli Maatta
Olli, very few of you are grateful. And even those who are
grateful. They are very, very deficient in their gratitude, even
when they are thankful.
It's like a complain that we are ungrateful to Allah. So may Allah
Subhana Allah make us among those who recognize all of his nana,
which we can't and be thankful to him morning and evening. Whatever
Allah Subhana Allah has blessed us with that we know and that we do
not know and let us not be among those who are Cullinan matter
school, that few of you.
People have sugar, then Allah subhanaw taala again tells the
Prophet sallallahu Listen, tell them third person tell them
Kulu Allah they can fill out the way later reminding them again of
his blessings. He gave you these blessings called who Allah they
again say to them, ya Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he is
the one who Vera are confused are they who multiplied you who spread
you who scattered you in the earth? Vera? The word Huria your
offspring comes from the same route, that he's the one who
multiplied you who spread you on this earth scattered you in desert
and then remember what la he to share.
And to him alone again, the structure is LA. Not Tasha. Runa
LA but la Hitoshi to him alone, you will be gathered. So Allah
subhanaw taala uses the word Scharoun as opposed to Torah down
to your return because he
Started by his scattered you. So the more proper word would be, he
will gather you to listen to choice of words of the Quran that
Allah uses.
I a number 25 that in spite of all of these reasons, rational
reasons, the reminders, the emotional appeals that Allah give
you everything that you have, that you should believe in Him be
grateful to him. Now comes the response of the disbelievers
while you're cool Luna Mata ha ha doing quantum saw the thing. Now
comes the response of the disbeliever. What does he say?
He says,
where you're where you're cool Luna and this the structure here
is where you're cool Luna, it's a present continuous tense. In other
words,
this was said before this is said, now this will continue to be said,
this will be the response of the people who don't believe who are
not grateful to Allah subhanaw taala there is only one response,
they have one of arrogance, one of mockery, and one of defiance. What
do they say?
Meta Heidelberg.
And the word meta means when will be this promise that you make that
we will all be gathered to know that we will all come together
there is a Day of Judgment, when but the word meta here is used
sort of as ridicule means you're making a joke. Oh, so when is it?
So when is it also to confront? Okay, when is it? Bring it on, you
know, that sort of arrogant attitude.
And then they say, in quantum Saudi,
in quantum sadaqa, if you all are truthful, use the plural. In other
words, they're telling us when Allah salAllahu alayhi salam,
they're telling his companions and they're telling in the future,
anytime that the believers invite the disbelievers to the truth,
they say, you guys.
We don't believe you're telling the truth. But if you are telling
the truth, we think you are liars. But if you're telling the truth,
bring it on. What I have, when is this gathering?
So this is one way of challenging of ridicule. Because elsewhere in
the Quran, they have said, they actually said, Bring Allah's
punishment if you if you are truthful.
So Allah subhanaw taala then teaches us how to react to these
insults and challenges.
That you do not argue with people like that, that you don't respond
to every single thing they say, Okay, you said this oil respond
here, that you stay level.
Because you want the truth.
You don't lose control.
You don't get provoked. You don't get angry.
You stay calm. You keep control of the discussion. You keep control
of the narrative of last month, Allah tells us to respond, says to
the Prophet sallallahu Sallam tell them what enamel Elmo and Allah,
you're asking when is it? The same?
The knowledge the exclusive, intimate, the exclusive knowledge
is only without Allah.
I don't know when it will be. I know it is near because I'm not
chances. But the exclusive knowledge is only with Allah. Even
the one who's going to blow the trumpet is Rafeal does not know
when it is
and then see what intimate and enter the room will be. And I am
only a worn
clear one I give you a clear warning. And I'm not warning you
as somebody who's threatening you. Because knowing Rasul Allah sort
of knowing or Rahman has sent Ramadan, Lila al Amin, rasool
Allah salAllahu alayhi salam, out of mercy, I'm warning you, because
I am looking for your benefit. I'm looking for your protection. I'm
looking for your welfare.
And I'm conveying this morning to you from Allah subhanaw taala from
a man who has mentioned four times in surah. As man, this is the
message of truth, and my conveyance is out of concern and
compassion for you.
I give you the message clearly. I'm giving you a detailed and
equivocal message with clarity. I am another human being clear
warning.
And yet, I am not working over you. I'm not an authority. My job
is to clearly convey the message to you.
When Allah subhanaw taala says, response to these people that they
were asking about this day, the knowledge is with all
Oh but look what happens when that day will come. Fella Mara Oh whose
will fattened see at would you will let the inner CAFO your kala
handler the tune to be heated down on phylum so when it's not saying
if that deck so when
oh when they see the reality of that day and the the the verb used
is in the past tense for a future event and that's the style of the
Quran that when certainty guarantee has to be given hola
uses past tense verb, as if something has already happened,
yet it is in the future, that it is definitely when they see the
reality of Zulu fatten coming so close to them that now all the
signs are there that the object which is coming, see at Wood, you
will lead in
the phases of the kavir will be stricken with grief, with
distress, darkness of anxiety and depression. Like someone who's
being taken for, you know, to the execution chamber.
That's what their faces will become right now. They're
arrogant, they're making fun of it.
The catheter, Allah says the cafe, cafe it means the one who is
ungrateful.
And the ultimate of ungratefulness
is the one who denies the one who gave him everything who created
and then when that day comes and the face is now now they see it
they believe it, then to drive the point home for emphasis will key
law and it will be said pre law
module not known who will say the sound will come what will the
sound be had the lead the can to be heated.
This is what you kept calling for repeatedly down, not alone that
down you kept repeating, asking because you believed it would
never be
in the word had heavenly is for emphasis this this is it. This is
what you want. This is what you denied. When here it is.
Allah protect us from that and from being in the people who have
Dutch
going back to now after responding to this again Allah tells the
Prophet salallahu Salam one ayah number 28
will arrive to me in Allegany Allah woman Maria o Rahim Allah
for me ug Rhonda Katharina min Hi there Ben Ali
will say to them or messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
or I don't in like a near Long mum my ear. Oh Rahim Allah, have you
considered? Do you not think Do you not see? If Allah what to
check my life? Make? Make me Haluk take my life, woman, Maya and
those who are with me. If Allah want to take my life as you wish,
because you wanted me dead sallallahu alayhi salam, that's
what they wanted. You wanted me destroyed if allowed to destroy me
and all those who are with me or Ramona or he were to show mercy
upon me by sparing us
that is my concern is not your concern. However, what you should
be concerned about, for my ug rule, Catherine Amminadab,
who will grind safety and protection to the caffeine to you
from the painful punishment and the suffering, worry about
yourself not about us.
Because we all have to die. But then what?
Or seminar or Allah has mercy on us he spares us for a period of
time because we have to die. So we should note here, that one
manifestation of Allah subhanaw taala is Rama is manifested as a
long life of good deeds when Allah gives a person a long life in
which he is doing good deeds that says
But if a long life is given an a person's doing sins, that's
another job that long life is another
you know and number 29 Last one again says to the Prophet
sallallahu Listen, who are rough man and Nabi Well, la hito Kela
versatile Munna men who are featured on Moby
All say to them Oh messenger sallallahu alayhi wa salam, he is
a rock man. Like we said,
Allah subhanaw taala has mentioned our man four times in this the
Barak and started with the Barak the surahs with Nevada cat
frequently, man with
our man he is our rock man the Most Merciful The source of all
mercy
and Nabi we believe in him.
You believe in him the way it is. And we also believe in the Father
Archon the man's of the pillars of iman. If you believe in the Day of
Judgment, we believe in the Revelation we believe in the NBA
we believe in the life after that we believe in the Destiny.
But first we believe in Him why they hate our color.
And our belief in Him is manifested by our trust that it is
I lay here again that structure of putting it in front exclusively
only in Him, Azerbaijan, we put our trust
that's our situation.
First Attalla Munna manhua
manhwa fever volume will be.
And so, as a consequence of your coffee,
you will soon come to know who was in Milan, who was in misguidance,
who was an error more been clear.
Now the arrow mobian came before here de la la Moby. In spite of
all of that you're still clearly misguided. We have taken a
position on stances we believe in our workmen and we put our trust
in Him. You have no leg to stand on. And you will find out. You
think we are misguided. You will find out who is in clear
misguidance who is the one who is
in
the last I call or item in US Bahama. Okuhara for me yet to come
be in money. Last month, Allah says Say to them or messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa de was salam.
Have you considered? Have you thought telling the car for what?
per item in US Bahama, Oaken Bora, if you wake up one morning, and
you find no water, because your water has suddenly sunk into the
earth gone? Whoa,
ha ha sunk deep into the earth, that Allah has put water for you
as a blessing. Suppose you were to suck it back. And as we talked
about the SuperOcean that have disappeared. Allah subhanaw taala
saying, Have you considered if you woke up one morning, you find no
water, because it has suddenly sink deep into the earth for me
yet to come the man in my who? Who
would bring you fresh, clean, flowing water, water that gives
life
the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam in response to this question, at
the end of the surah he used to answer Allah
who will bring you water he would say a lot.
Because water, my dear brothers and sisters, is the most valuable
and life sustaining and life giving blessing and an asset. And
therefore it also providing clean drinking water to people is the
best of sadaqa as the Prophet sallallaahu some teaches us.
And this is especially important for the McCanns because it should
have been vividly clear to the Mexicans, the Quraysh because
their whole city the whole civilization was based on water,
because it only got habitated because of the presence of zamzam
of water. And Allah says, just like it came out supposed to
disappear, what would you do?
A stark reminder of his blessings.
So the surah as you remember started with,
but yet the hill milk, the duping the dominion of Allah subhanaw
taala is in his hands. And it ends by giving just one example of it
the practical example of a signal blessing that he by his hand, it
gives you water. What if he takes it away? Who controls it? The
Dominion is in his hand.
And the soda started by giving us telling us that he created life
and death as a test to see who will pass the test. Who will
believe and who will face axon Rama who will do the right
is, and it ends by telling us the end of those who fail in the test,
see at widowhood, that the faces will be dark and distress.
Or there have been a lien and painful punishment. So the end of
the surah ties them at the beginning of last month concludes
with that this beautiful Surah which should strengthen our Eman
which should give us confidence in the truth. Look at all the
arguments that should help us reflect on everything that Allah
SmartWool asked us to reflect on the heavens, how they're created,
the how the earth how its spread, the consistency of the Earth, the
mountains, the water that's flowing on the earth, the birds
that's flying in the air, and the stars that are in the in the
heavens, the meteors that are being thrown, all of that
point to
a rock man, Armand navabi, Armin navabi, we believe in Him. And we
show our belief by doing as he said, who does son are the best of
deeds. And whatever call nine we put our trust in and we depend on
him for our risk that he will provide the risk. He doesn't ask
us, for us to provide risk he will provide us he has given us one
job, which is to believe and to do everything that comes with that
belief, ability of Allah subhanaw taala or worshipping him as he
deserves alone, in the way of Satan or Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa salam the best of is a bad, the best of his creation.
That's the only way and then we put our trust, that if we act
according to the Surah, it will intercede on our behalf in front
of Allah on the day of Jaffa and it will protect us from the
punishment of the grave. So let us internalize the surah let us
memorize the surah let us know every word of the surah Let us
recite it every night and let us act by it. May Allah subhanaw
taala make us among those who listen and obey those who act upon
it, and may even not make us among those who listen and forget and
continue life as usual, with no impact of the most powerful words
of Allah subhanaw taala on our life, on our character, on our
plans on our thoughts and our words and our actions may Allah
subhanaw taala make us among the ones who LISTEN and OBEY who out
of love for Allah smart Allah and His messenger.
Do what pleases them
