Alone Mustang my Samia alumina lady Crick
we thank Allah subhanaw taala we praise and glorify him as he
deserves.
We sent Peace and blessings on the greatest of Allah's creation our
beloved Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and his noble
family.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to increase us in useful knowledge,
useful knowledge is that which helps us to come closer to Allah
subhanaw taala
and we ask Allah subhanaw taala not to let our hearts
swerve or divert away from the path that he wants us to be on.
And we ask Allah subhanaw taala to open the hearing channels of our
hearts to his remembrance
Welcome back
to our Quran, hello cards that we had temporarily suspended because
of Ramadan and I hope all of you had a wonderful Ramadan.
And may Allah smart Allah accept the Ramadan from all of us and
help us to lead our lives for the rest of the 11 months.
Like we were in Ramadan, in a state of obedience and closeness
to Allah subhanaw taala
inshallah
So, Ramadan is the month of the Quran and therefore we continue in
our tradition of trying to learn and study together
in a sort of a simple format. We call it the tafsir understanding
of the Quran. And we have been dealing with the makin Quran,
which is what was revealed to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
alayhi wa sallam, before his Hijra
when he was living in Makkah, and Makkah was a very hostile
environment for him, because he had introduced a new idea of the
head of justice, and a good character to the Americans who did
not want their system changed.
And so, the few followers that Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam had
when facing a lot of opposition, ridicule,
persecution, torture, all of that. And the Prophet salallahu alayhi
salam was likewise being rejected, including by his own family,
ridiculed being called a liar being called a poet being called a
magician, because of the the kalam of Allah subhanaw taala, the words
that he brought.
So that was the environment of the McKenna Quran, an environment of
hostility, everybody opposing the message opposing the messenger,
opposing those who had accepted Islam.
So we should be able to identify with that because in general,
Muslims living in the West
Illa mashallah are living in somewhat of a hostile environment,
not as bad as it was in Makkah.
But people are suspicious of Islam suspicious of Muslims have a bad
opinion.
And there are forces that are working against Islam and against
Muslims today, like they were at that time. So we should be able to
identify that this was the environment. This was the backdrop
in which these revelations came down. And the makin part of the
Quran, as we have studied before, consists of a few major topics,
one of which is to heed the Oneness of Allah subhanaw taala,
the most important and the after the hereafter and accountability
that there is a day of judgment, that there is life after death,
there is paradise there is *, there is heaven, and that
everyone is going to be assembled in front of Allah subhanaw taala
for a day of judgment, and that this was not a new message, but
that messages like this had come before through previous message
years and previous scriptures had come and people had opposed them.
So
Allah subhanaw taala wanted the Meccans, the Quraysh, the tribe of
that was the dominant tribe of Arabia of Makkah at that time to
hear this message and to accept Islam.
So, the primary audience for this Quran that we are going to study
today the primary audience, it was addressed to Rasul allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. It was addressed to the early Muslims
who had accepted Islam.
And it was a means because it was being revealed it wasn't in the
form of a book, all of it revealed it was being revealed
in real time, as they face problems Allah would reveal Quran
so it was coming down real time. When you had a problem. Allah
revealed the Quran about it when they face difficulties, Allah
revealed the Quran. So it would strengthen those early Muslims
that Allah knows our situation and he addresses us.
This was a means of
strengthening and increasing the Yaqeen.
And it was also meant to reassure rasool Allah salAllahu alayhi
salam that no matter how much difficulty and opposition you
face, similar difficulties have been faced by prophets before you
messengers before you, your brothers with the same message.
And in the end, the truth will prevail. So reassurance to the
Prophet sallallahu sallam. And the purpose the audience was also the
Quraysh, to invite them to believe, and to appeal to them
logically to understand this then, and also as a warning that if you
don't accept, then be prepared for what happened to nations before
that. So that's the background of this McCann Quran. And we are
today talking about surah number 79 and Nazjatar, which is the last
juice of the Quran after Amma Siloam. This is the next Surah
after that.
And now that So, Allah subhanaw taala starts, this surah a 46 Iots
with the first five Iots which are oats axon, the plural of Kacem,
Allah subhanaw taala takes an oath. And we've talked about the
purpose of the oath before but just to remind each other and
youngsters again,
that when do you take an oath?
When you take an oath, when are you asked to take an oath
when people have doubt whether you are telling the truth now does
Allah subhanaw taala need to take an oath
he does not yet he takes an oath. And Allah is one that swears by or
takes an oath or makes a person, by what she has created things
that are important, and which are relevant to why the oath is being
taken. So Allah subhanaw taala takes an oath by certain things
such as we've talked about, what an Fajr by the dawn will lay, you
know, by the night, what the HA by the morning
was Shams by the sun, like that Allah subhanaw taala can take an
oath he can swear by but as Muslims, we cannot swear by
anything of the creation, we only swear by Allah, we can say I swear
by my mother, we say I swear by Allah, but Allah swears by His
creation, and this way he honors His creation, the ones that he is
taking an oath by. And they are not random. They are somehow
related, the ones where He's taking an oath with what is coming
after that. So when Allah takes an oath, he takes an oath by
something. And then the reason the, the object of the oath is
Allah subhanaw taala is trying to stress the importance of what
comes after, which is called Jawaban casa.
Like when we say I swear, that I'm telling the truth. So I swear by
Allah, so that's and what am I sweating that I'm telling the
truth?
So Allah subhanaw taala takes an oath. by five, five there are five
votes at the beginning of this surah Kula swan. Allah says
all the Himalayas sure you're on your regime. Bismillah hir rahman,
you're rocking. One Nazjatar the water or one national party
national law, Nepal was Serbia hayati sada ha for Serbia port
Isabel Ka, fall muda Bharati am Ra. So these
What are the five oats the first one?
One Nazjatar.
Now, Allah's Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa Salam is the one who
explained the Quran to us, in this case, last messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam did not specify what nosiest means.
And therefore there are opinions from the scholars, including the
companions of Rasulullah sallallahu how they understood it.
So there is a majority opinion,
the majority opinion is that one Nazjatar Allah smart ALLAH is
talking about the angels, who come to extract the soul at the time of
death, and specifically the angels, when Naza means something
that pulls out with force.
worka when Nazjatar welcome is Allah smart Allah saying, I swear
by those angels who violently pull out the soul, what is the meaning
of violently pull out the soul means
that the person whose soul is being pulled out, is generally a
disbeliever
did not believe in Allah subhanaw taala and the angels and therefore
this person, when he sees the reality of death does not want to
leave this existence does. The soul does not want to leave, wants
to stay, but it has no choice. So these angels who come with the
Angel of Death, pull out that soul with great violent force.
And this is the opinion of Sayyidina Ali Rhodiola one
ignoramus Oh, there are the Allah Han Abdullah Edna bass, the major
companions were of the opinion that Nazjatar are those angels who
violently pull out the souls of the disbelievers.
How difficult it is, the example has been given as if you have a
skewer metal skewer with spikes on it, and you pull it through wet
cotton
and how it pulls everything apart. That's how difficult it is because
that soul has to be pulled out from under every hair and under
every nail of that disbeliever doesn't want to leave it stuck in
there doesn't want to leave
because it knows what is ahead for it of Allah's Anger and
punishment.
So, when Allah subhanaw taala swears by this now there are some
other alternatives, opinions of some some later scholars who think
that these deal with the planets and the winds and Warhorse many
opinions, but the predominant opinion that we are going to stick
with is that these are those angels the next I have one Nash
authority nashbar. Here, Allah swears by the angels, who gently
Nash gently take out the souls
whose souls should those be?
The believers? Why because they are given the Bashara at the time
the good news at the time of death, when the angels come, that
Allah is pleased with you, there is now a lot of rewards and
pleasure for you. Therefore the soul eagerly wants to leave. So
let's go and therefore those angels gently extract that soul
which is willing to go
and the example for that that was given is that it's like a
container of water you just pour out some water that's how gently
the soul when national multinational the the soul of the
believers leaves when it's at the time of death.
Masada Hardy Subha again talking about the angels who swim somehow
means to swim, who glide along through the heavens through the
skies, carrying the souls of the believers because we are going to
talk in a minute about the journey of the soul after death. Many of
you may know it, but just to remind we will do that, that they
carry the soldier was SABIC rt subaqua And Allah is is swearing
by those angels, summer Commons who are competing we're racing
with each other to go and take the souls of the believers so that
they can take them carry them to Allah subhanaw taala
fall muda Bharati Umrah and Allah subhanaw taala swears by those
angels who carry out obediently conduct and carry out all the
affairs of the dunya everything that Allah subhanaw taala orders,
okay, so Gibreel la salaam, what is meant the main function
function of gibril Allah Islam?
He brought the message to all the various prophets and he is the
head of the angels. There is an angel by the name of Mikael what
is his function? Does anybody remember what is his main role?
He takes care of the provisions the rains and and the the produce
and providing people with none. There's an angel by the name of
Israel field who has heard of that? What is he? What's his
function?
He is standing like this the whole time and it's not meant to be like
this. I'm just putting it like this. What the soul that will
bring the end of this universe that says function and then there
is the angel called Maluku mouth. What does that mean?
Molech means Angel mouth, everybody knows the angel of
death. So those are main functions and that Angel of Death is going
to come now. So Allah subhanaw taala swears by his angels.
And tells us when he's taking an oath by these angels, we're
extracting souls he's telling us
that death is real.
Anyone here thinks they're going to escape it?
At some point.
It's not a choice. Do you know anyone who's ever escaped? No.
Maybe temporarily, you think you've got a second chance. But
Allah subhanaw taala tells us that every soul will die because this
is how Allah subhanaw taala created the system. He did not
create us to be here. We are here as temporary residents. We don't
have citizenship here.
We are only on a tourist visa on this earth. Just a tourist visa.
It can be revoked anytime. Anytime. We were just as we were
driving here, we just were talking about a 23 year old who died last
week here in spring.
One of ours our dear sisters sister died last week, 36 years
old suddenly died in childbirth. Nobody knows when the time comes.
Right? So we are told Allah is taking the oath by these angels,
because the job of custom is going to come but before we go to that,
because it's irrelevant. The Day of Judgment is
what is the journey of the soul? So the Prophet salallahu alayhi
salam taught us in a very famous Hadith that is narrated by Al Bara
even Azim who said that Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi salam said
that when the believer is about to die,
angels come
and they have bright faces,
bright like the sun there, and they look beautiful, and they all
come. And as far as the not only the dying person can see them.
People sitting around, do not see them.
And that person sees them. And sometimes if you've been with
somebody, you can see that while they're still alive, that they're
not looking at you anymore. If you've ever be experienced that
they look like they're looking at something else.
When the great Khalifa Omar
Abdulaziz was about to die. He said to his people, he said I
shall do Allah Allah Allah Allah said, I see creatures that are
neither Jinn nor men.
He said that
and then he passed away.
So, they see all as far as the eye of the of the dying believer can
see sees these beautiful faces lined up of people of angels
around him.
And then comes Malakal mouth,
the angel of death and he sits near the head of the person.
And then he says,
he says all pure soul or good soul, come to the forgiveness of
Allah come to the pleasure. Now imagine this is the Bashara that
the angel of death is coming, come to the pleasure of Allah and to
His forgiveness of that already is such a good feeling for the dying
person. So that soul
so He extracts the soul easily and as soon as it takes the soul, the
other angels that are there. They have come with the shroud of Jana,
you know, like we have a coffin Yeah, they have come with a
special shroud of fabric that is pure and scented with the best of
sense of perfumes Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said from Jana,
and as soon as He extracts the soul, now we are talking about in
physical terms, but soul is not physical. But this is the
description. They take the soul and wrap it like it's being
wrapped and check into and then they can wherever they carry it,
the angels will say, we smell this beautiful smell, who is this pure
soul they say this is so and so. son of so and so. So and So
daughter of so and so.
And they carry it through each heaven when they come to every
level of heaven. That's it.
When heavens the angel asks, Who is this, and they are taught and
then they the leader angels, the elect angels accompany the soul to
the next one. And then till that soul is taken to Allah subhanaw
taala as presents.
And then Allah subhanaw taala says to the angels write the book of my
slave among the Ely Yun and if you remember, le Yoon, we covered
that, in a previous This is a book in which is the record of the
believers which is kept somewhere in the proximity of the ash of
Allah. So Allah subhanaw taala says, Write this net person's book
in Leu his name, and then take him back to the earth because I
created them from there. And I'm leave them there till I bring them
out. So the angels and bring the soul back and that soul witnesses
what is going on. They see the body being washed from you know,
like, like, you know,
CCTV camera, who they're looking at who's washing their body, how
they're treating it, and then the how the coffin is done, and how
they carry and then the soul is brought back to the body but not
in the same way. The hadith says that the soul remains between the
coffin, what we wrapped the body and the body in the grave. And
when the people leave, then the angels of
Mancha and Nikita the angels of questioning they come and they ask
questions of this person, man Rob book, who was your Lord? Now since
we this is a believer, sir Robbie, Allah, Allah is Mara. What is your
deen? What was your way of life on Islam?
And then they show a picture. What do you say about this man? He
said, This is Rasool Allah, Allah, Allah Allah. He recognizes. He
said, How do you know all this? He said, Because I read the book of
Allah, and I believed in it, and I testify to its truth. Then the
angels say
a voice will come and say, he has spoken the truth.
Let him rest. And then Allah subhanaw taala asked the angels to
open a door in that realm. Now it's not a physical door that you
look in the grave and say let me see where this door is opening
where this windows opening okay? But they see he's shown a window
that opens and all he sees in that is fire.
Fire of Jana.
And then that door is closed so this could have been your place,
but Allah has forbidden it for you and then a door of Jana is opened
and that the breeze of Jana and some of the pleasures of Jana
starts, the soul starts to experience them and the grave is
expanded
and the person sleeps like there are so Allah salaallah alayhi
salam said like a new bride
till Allah will raise.
On the other hand, the opposite when the disbelievers soul is
being taken. The angel of that same thing now the angels that
come they have dark scary faces
and they're all angry because this person disobeyed Allah disbelief
and Allah and the monocle mouth said, or evil soul come on out and
soul doesn't want and it is extracted and then they take the
soul to the first heaven. They ask the door to be open and the door
does not open. Rasul Allah Salalah listen recited ayat of the Quran
which said, and the the souls cannot enter Jannah till the camel
passes through the eye of the needle, which means nothing.
And then Allah subhanaw taala says, record them in the sea gene,
that record of the evildoers which is kept in the depths of the
earth. So this basically is what happens at the time of ending the
punishment of the gravestones. So this is these are the five iPads
and briefly I took her aside to talk about
what happens to the soul. After this comes what is called the job
of cousin wise Allah's monetary taking the oath which comes in
nine Iots after that
so this is what Allah wants to us to focus on. He says, Yo mythology
for Raja touch bow huddle raw defer Kulu booing Yo my doom wadge
if I ever saw too harsh harsh yaku Luna in La Mer do do not fill half
era either couldn't you them and natira call util chi then Cara
Thanh Ha Hospira for in nema. He has surgery to Wahida for either
home this era
nine
I Arts, which is what Allah wants us to focus on. Allah subhanaw
taala took the oath, that this is what it's all about the truth of
this your mythology for Roger for a day, when that first blast, the
first blowing of the trumpet takes place as a result of that
everything dies, mountains, a levels, earth, His level, the
planets, everything scattered. And we've gone through it that
describe that in great detail here last month Allah just talks about
that, that barrel Hurghada followed by the second blast,
which is the second blowing of the trumpet. There are two belongings
of the trumpet, the first one that destroys everything the second
one, because of which everything will be brought back to life
will be brought back to nine. So now every one that was ever
created is brought back to life. brought back to life. Then Allah
subhanaw taala says Kulu booing Yama didn't YG for now when you
wake up in in this state hearts that day. He said some hearts will
be shaking and trembling with anxiety, palpitation because of
what they see. Obviously, these are not going to be hearts of the
believers because they already knew that this was going to
happen. This is the hearts of the disbelievers of Assad. Ha Harsha.
And that gazes their eyes will be in who Sure? Humiliated, humble,
just looking down. They cannot even raise their eyes because
they're scared. They don't know what's going to happen. Their eyes
will be downcast and humiliation. So who are these people who are so
scared and in this state? There are those who in this life did not
believe and they said yaku Luna Inala Maradona, Phil halfa. They
used to say mockingly to Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi salam and
to the believers, they say, will we really be returned back to
life? They didn't believe we will be restored. Maradona will be
brought back to the former state like we were
in that Kenai dama Nakamura, when we become hollow empty decayed
bones, we've become like that. We've been reduced to that. Will
we be brought back to life?
Then they again continuing in their joking and mocking they say
Carlo Tilka Then Carla tune hasura They say oh, if we are indeed
brought back.
If we are indeed brought back then we are going to be in a state of
loss. They don't really believe that but they are joking.
Clueless one Atala responds to this by saying for in Nima he has
actually gotten wider, it is only going to take one blast, one blast
of that soul. One blast, one blowing. And suddenly, there will
be brought back to life for either hung Bissau here, and all of them
who denied believers, disbelievers. Everyone will be
brought
on the surface of the earth. Whether they drowned whether they
were eaten by animals, whether they were decayed into the earth,
whether they were burnt and scattered. Everyone Allah will
gather on the surface of the earth for judgment. This is the field of
PA.
So all the five exam, the odds work to tell us that piano is a
reality. And all it's going to take is one blast.
And all those who are joking about it, will this happen? Will the
bones be brought back to life, they will know and that day their
hearts are going to be palpitating and their eyes will be downcast.
Now Allah subhanaw taala changes the topic again and every time
this topic changes, you can see the difference because the end
rhyme, changes and you can notice that, okay, for example, the first
five Iots nascita Sobotka Amara they used to end in that and the
next they would Pasha, how Halophila knocklyon They used to
end with that that rhyme now comes the next 12 Iots in which Allah
smart Allah changes the topic. And we'll talk about the relevance of
that. And again, they have a different
ending, which rhymes. So Allah subhanaw taala now starts after
telling us taking the odds, and then telling us that Yama is real
and it's going to come suddenly, Allah subhanaw taala asks a
question from Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam he says, * attack
a hottie.
So Musa
is Nadal who robbed the who built this Etowah is to have a laugh
your honor in taba. So cool * like Illa Zakka
Well, I had the Illawarra big for Daksha for all who I tell Cobra
forget what I saw some ads but yes sir for harsher of another for
Kyla hon como Allah for the Hmong aka hola who Nica Gula in Nephi
Delica liberated remain Yaksha you see that the Ryan ending is
different so these now Allah smart Allah says to the Prophet
sallallaahu Salam has there come to you the story of Musa Lisanna
and you know Musa and frown the story is comes in the Quran almost
28 out of 30 Jews because a different points of last month and
I was going to make a different point that he's trying to make in
that. Now since this is the Macan Quran and the people had heard
about Musa alayhis salam.
Allah Swann, this may have been the very first mention of the
story in the Quran because this is early Quran. Okay.
So Allah subhanaw taala as the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam has
the story of Musa alayhis salaam come to you. Now Allah subhanaw
taala is not going to go into great detail of the story. And
then you think about it especially in the youngsters. What is the
relevance of this to what has come before why suddenly this topic has
changed to this is now the hula hoop and why did mocha Seto Allah
subhanaw taala says when his Lord Musa alayhis salam is Lord called
him in the Sacred Valley valley of Tulsa, which is just below the
Mount Sinai, Mount Sinai where Allah subhanaw taala Dr. Masala
salaam here is telling us that it was in a specific valley called
a radical tuba. And then Allah subhanaw taala says what she told
me Salesa very briefly it says it have a laugh around in Otava go to
frown. And you know frown is Pharaoh the the tyrant ruler of
Egypt, in who indeed he has taught to ban means rebellion means to
transgress or limits. You know, Allah has put limits you
transgress those, it's like, you have a cup that overflows the
water, it goes beyond its limits, that's to beyond that Allah
subhanaw taala saying he has transgressed all limits you go to
him. Now imagine Allah subhanaw taala could have grabbed from
anytime. Yet he sends his column Allah the one he talks to go to,
because he has indeed transgressed To what degree we will see what is
his transgression? What is his, his sins, what are his crimes is
and then for call Halakhah illa Anta Zack and say to him, Allah
subhanaw taala, telling Musa let's say to him, would you be willing
to purify yourself?
Would you be willing to live your sin of disbelief and believe
become a believer? Well, I do a lot of Bica for Tasha. And would
you allow me that I guide you to your Lord,
Rebecca your Lord, you know, Rebecca, so you may fear and you
may lead a life of a believer.
So, Musa less than no Allah Samantha doesn't give the details
he goes and invites around to belief to believe in Allah Subhana
Allah then Allah subhanaw taala. Fast forward says, For Ara, who
are yet to cobra and Musa alayhis salam showed him the greatest
science and we know the miracles that nine miracles mentioned about
Musa alayhis salam that you showed federal? No, okay. Including do
anybody remember any of those
growing the staff and the snake staff he had on our saw, he had us
had a big stick that used to walk that became
a snake and that there was a competition and that overpowered
all the magicians and that is what most of the scholars have said
this is the greatest because he and then he had a hand that would
glow. And then he brought he turned the rivers into blood and
then he then he brought you know, frogs were burning down and then
the locusts came and all kinds of things every time it would happen.
He would ask okay, okay, I will believe and then he would back off
and he would then say You know, this could have been because maybe
the local scheme because maybe something happened that the red
soil got mixed this he's too but the staff he was afraid of so
Allah Samantha lessons he was shown Musa national lamb showed
him the great sign for Canada Bahasa and he still denied denied
the truth.
What I saw and he disobeyed Allah subhanaw taala. And what not only
did he disobey some algebra Yes. And Dobermans, he turned his back
to the truth to the signs of Allah subhanaw taala. And yes, and he
strove and he made effort against the message against the truth that
Musa alayhis salam was bringing. And then what did he say? Then he
for Hashem, Ira, Fernanda and he gathered in the assemble all of
his nation. He said, Come, and then what did he say to them?
He said, For Karla hon. Kamala, I am your Lord most.
I mean, that's the ultimate of arrogance to say that I am the
Lord of the universe. I'm everybody's Lord.
So that was the ultimate of his transgression of his story. And
then Allah subhanaw taala says, cutting it short. He says, aka
Hello, Nick Allen.
Allah, and Allah subhanaw taala seized him with an exemplary
punishment. He made an example of him for the Rama Kula, for the
later times and for that time, and Allah smart Allah tells us that
Allah subhanaw taala drowned him, and then he returned his bodies
for nations to see what happens to people like that. And that in the
Accra, he is also assigned, and some of the mummify saloon have
said what is meant by this, that he was made an exemplary
punishment because of what he had said before and what he said now,
because what he had said before, which is elsewhere in the Quran,
he had said to his chiefs, he said Oh, chiefs, I know not have any
other god other than I.
Okay, so what he had said before and what he said now, hon Robuchon
will Allah I am your highest. So Allah subhanaw taala made him an
example.
In Nephi, Dalek, Allah ebrington Lima Yaksha. And Allah subhanaw
taala says, certainly in this is the lesson and Abraham, that you
see something and you come to a conclusion. For those who have
fear of law, what is the lesson?
Unless one to let's say, Indeed, in this there is a lesson for
those who fear Allah, what is the lesson
not to be arrogant, because the end of no matter how powerful and
how arrogant you are, the end is
death and humiliation like around you can have all the power and
might in the world.
You're going to end up in the same place, same three feet by six
feet, or they will burn you
whatever they prefer, then scatter you. That's the end.
From Dust to dust, nothing left. So why is the arrogance
in this a lessons that those who reject the truth, no matter how
powerful and rich and influential they may seem, and that's a lesson
for us. We see many people who reject the truth in the world
leaders, countries, nations, they're very powerful.
The end is only one.
The truth always prevails. And therefore believer, a Muslim
should never lose heart never get depressed by the state of affairs,
what they see. Because in the end,
Allah's work and his decision comes to pass. So the basic
lessons from the story of Tehran is that there will always be a
battle between good and evil. There will always be a
confrontation. This is how Allah smart Allah has made forces on the
police and the forces of Rush man, there will always be truth and
falsehood. Sometimes falsehood now is portrayed as the truth because
now we have mass media, and we have all of these platforms,
anything you want, you can make it as the truth when it's frozen. But
in the end, evil perishes, and the truth triumphs, and that's it now
when is that end that Allah subhanaw taala is decided. So this
is when they were being persecuted. This came as a great
encouragement to Rasul Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam reassurance
to the believers. In the end, we are going to prevail and did the
prevail. It took only a few years.
Eight years after Hijra
Maccha was
one and a half years after Hijra. All the Chiefs died were killed in
bother.
So now Allah subhanaw taala again, changes the next seven Iots brings
us back to the certainty of piano which came before the story of of
Musala Sinha.
Allah Swatara says to Masha doccle can miss sama
See the rhythm changes again? Refer out some for so well.

matter I like them while they may come. Now Allah subhanaw taala
tells us after bringing in the story of Musa alayhis salam to say
that even the rich and powerful will face debt, and they have no
matter what they did if they were not on the truth pmmi is going to
be very difficult for them. The Day of Judgment is going to be one
of humiliation and after that is when the eternal life of
punishment starts.
So Allah subhanaw taala now brings us back to the pm saying, giving
us to reflect on the creative power of Allah smart Allah here in
the seventh Iots Allah smart Allah is asking us to reflect to ponder
on some of what Allah subhanaw taala has created power is so that
when you think if Allah can do this, you can certainly bring
everybody back to life. So Allah subhanaw taala says, to the
kuffaar of Macau who denied this and to us and to all people and to
shut the * can I miss sama Uber na? Are you more difficult to
create than all the heavens in the complex things that we are seeing
that the black hole of the Milky Way that they just pictured
yesterday and all of this in the universe? Is that more complicated
and difficult to create and, and and run than you? It's a question
of last month or last The answer is obvious. There's no answer that
yes, we're easy. Then Allah smart Allah says, Rafa some curve so
well. He raised the heights of the heavens, was an fossa, and he
proportioned it and made it perfect. As we said, in previous
tours that we have right Allah says Look, do you find any defects
in the in the in the heavens? Do you find any any cracks, any
cleavages, any things sagging of the skies? No. Do you see any
pillars holding them up? No. So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us
look at the flawless creation, the perfect order and proportion of
Allah's creation. And he says, Well, after Shalala, Accra Jaga,
ha and then Allah SWOT analysis and he covers the night with
darkness he brings the night and then he brings the day with
brightness. He's telling us this creation ponder this is not just
happening random, while or the about the Delica ha ha and then
Allah has spread out the earth that it's not just made of, you
know, rocks and, and mountains and ridges, as we said before Allah
has flattened it out. So we can travel and we can earn a living we
can see the earth and we mentioned this in previous sutras. So Allah
has spread out this earth for us.
AKA minha Ma, Ma. And Isn't he the one who brought out the water from
this earth? I mean, they're looking all over the universe and
planets and Mars, where his water where his water who brought out
the water unless one man who brought out this water and the MA
The, the vegetation, the vegetables, the fruits, the trees,
all the foliage, who Allah subhanaw taala is asking a
question again, telling us that all everything while Jabba Allah
Azza and then he fixed and these mountains as pegs to stabilize the
earth as it spins around so it doesn't vibrate you know, go into
balancing. So Allah smart Allah is telling us that I have done all of
this.
You still doubt that I cannot I created you from nothing I cannot
create it create you from dead bones and decayed bones is that so
difficult to imagine? So Allah subhanaw taala is appealing to the
intellect to think logically.
And then he says all of this I created Matala, camaleon amicon
For your enjoyment as a provision for you as your sustenance for you
and your cattle.
Animals that you have all of this I created for you.
Then Allah subhanaw taala after reminding us this in the next
eight ayat, Allah subhanaw taala goes back to again, the importance
of what the whole surah is about the PM. So Allah subhanaw taala
then goes back to the next
for either job, or material Cobra. Now again, the rhythm changes. yo
maya karoun In Santa new masa were bullies a teenager Jahai Malema in
your fam Mang tava for federal Hayato duniya for ineligible
Email here.
Why am men Hoffa Ma Ma rugby when Neff sign in for in Janetta here
so Allah subhanaw taala now goes back to the events of the Tiama he
says for either Jha, Tom Mattoon Cobra, when there comes that
Cobra, the great calamity, he's talking about the Day of Judgment.
This is huge. This is nothing that we can even imagine. We believe in
it. We hear about it, we get scared about it. Then Allah
subhanaw taala said, yo mama yet the duck girl in Santa masa on
that day, every man will remember what effort they made, what they
were running after, what effort, what they strove, what was the
goal of their life. Now on that day,
we will remember Can we change it them?
No,
it cannot be changed, okay.
Because now has come the time for recompense. The time for action
has ended.
What better is Attila Jehoiakim Lima era, Allah subhanaw taala
says and the Hellfire will be displayed openly for people
whoever can see will see it and it will be a scary sight will be a
scary sight even the believers will see it and even the believers
have to cross over the bridge. So there is no escape from that
Hellfire that Allah has warned us about that the Hellfire will be
seen by everyone. Now Allah smart Allah describes two categories of
people for a moment of awe, the same word for the one who did to
be on who rebelled who transgressed for a moment taba and
what was the sign of that rebellion? Please listen to this
carefully. Well, Arthur duniya Arthur means give preference to
the life of dystonia.
He did not deny the AFA did not deny the Acrobat gave preference
to the dunya This is what Allah is calling Tolkien
Arthur hired to do this if that affected me the most one last one
I'll say
cuz I have to look at my life. Where am I giving preference to
for in nature Hamer here in the Jehane, which is one of the names
of the Hellfire is the abode of this person the
person who preferred the dunya all of his effort preference means
majority of his effort was made for achievements of the dunya
then Allah subhanaw taala gives the mirror opposite picture.
What a man man Hoffer, my Palma rugby. And as for the one who was
always afraid of standing in front of his load means he believed it
was a reality that I will stand in front of my rub. When a hand NAFSA
an inhaler, and he denied his restraint. His knifes his Lord
desires impure, his loss and his unlawful inclinations, which was
disobedience. He suppressed them, even though he was tempted he
suppressed them.
What about this person, for in a janitor Hilma the Paradise is the
abode of this person.
What is characteristic he was always afraid. One day, I will
stand in front of Allah. It was a reality for him. And therefore he
led his life according to that.
And he's suppressed. He had desires like everybody else. He
saw others enjoying life. In doing things that allowed forbidden, he
felt tempted, but he says no,
I will have sub because I have something greater coming.
Back Paradise will certainly be there aboard. And then the last
five verses of this
surah
is a direct address to the Koresh because the police were asking
questions of the Rasulullah sallallahu so not because they
want you to know the truth, but just as ridicule. So Allah
subhanaw taala says
yes, aloo Nica Anissa a Jana Musa FEMA and Amin de gras Ihlara
becoming Taha in a mountain among the romaine Yaksha unknown Yo Ma
yet oh no ha la me yell Basu. Illa she eaten Oh, Doha
That ends the surah
yes Aluna can they the Kadesh ask you, Ya Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam Anissa about this last, the PSA, the bringing up the
Day of Judgment.
Or Jana was when will it come? This is
so you said this is also when it when is it? And then Allah
subhanaw taala responds by not saying anything he says FEMA
anthem in Decra
say you Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam have no knowledge of
it, you have no way of responding to them. Why? Even Rasul Allah so
Allah listen does not have knowledge for Allah Rob pika monta
ha ha it is only to your Lord belongs that knowledge and its
finality. If we remember in that famous hadith of, of Gibreel,
Allah Salam, one of the questions you breathe, Allah Salam, in the
end asked after asking about what is Islam? What is Iman he asked,
When is when is when is the Sahaba the Day of Judgment? And what is
the response of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam to that?
He says the one who is questioning does not move more than the one
who is answering in other words, I don't know. And you Gibreel don't,
because only Allah knows Allah smart Allah saying, what have you
to do with this ends? And if you remember many times, the people
used to come the Bedouins to Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam they
were innocent they used to Yasuda, when is the day of judgment. And
his response was, what have you prepared for? That's the important
what have you prepared doesn't matter where it is. Because for
most of us when will the Day of Judgment, start with our debts
which is a little fear.
Even if it comes after 10,000 years, our book clauses without
them.
Let's prepare for them.
yulara become Anta ha It's only to your Lord that that knowledge
belongs in Nama and Monza Oh, my Yorkshire I knew or messenger
sallallahu alayhi salam, your job is only to warn them.
You are under leave.
We talked about that. You are a warning. For those, my Yaksha who
have fear of
who will listen.
And now I'm your Morona because on the day that they see that the Day
of Judgment
lum yellow bathroom in law, sheer turnover, it will seem to them
their whole life on this earth that they had whether it was 60
years, 100 years, 40 years, it will seem to them like
one evening, one morning, that's how short this life will seem.
Because we are comparing finite even if you live 900 years on mine
and 50 years like no Alesana compared to infinity, zero.
It will seem like that. Right now they're enjoying the thing. Oh,
you know, but one, they see that, that whole life, our life, it
seemed like a blink of an eye.
So
the whole life is a very brief sojourn. As we said before, we are
on a tourist visa. We came from Ghana, and that's our destination,
we go back there Inshallah, we are here for a short period of time.
But this short life will determine our eternal life that's coming
to we should not lose focus of that, or horse grass focusing that
look, there is an eternal life coming look, there are angels who
will take your soul Look, there is a day of judgment. Look, don't be
fooled by the power of people like surround, even they came to an
end. And then the eternal life will start and is determined by
what you did here.
So just
as we sit at the end of each Surah, and we still have 1015
minutes left here. What are the lessons that we learn? How does it
apply to me? And again, these lessons are just something that I
have derived from it. And you can derive many more lessons if you
sit and reflect. And I'm sure you you have. But some of what I've
derived number one is that debt is real.
And it is inevitable, no matter what you do. And this is not about
you know, depression depression because it's a reality. It's it's
a stage it's not an end. It's it's a gate that we passed.
Just like we came into this earth we will leave this earth to the
next life the preserve and then the aka the real life that comes
and only Allah subhanaw taala has determined how long we are going
to be here. Because Allah Subhan Allah says in surah Lokman Mata
did enough to murder attacks
Sugata Mata did enough soon be a year into moot that no soul knows
what is going to earn tomorrow and no soul knows where on earth it is
going to die when it is
in Allah Allah Lehmann Hubby, indeed Allah is the One who is the
all law and all the way
to this is a fact we have to know. And therefore, we come to the
Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu. One day Rasool allah sallallahu
alayhi, salam to this young companion, the son of, of Omar ibn
Al Khattab Sayidina Omar Abdullah Katara targeted the Allah on his
son Abdullah Muhammad or the famous companion, who is known for
many things, but what he is most known for that he would imitate
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam in every detail. So one day Rasul
Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam grabs him by the shoulder just like
this.
And he says to him,
couldn't fit dunya Anika very Arbor semi be in this dunya in
this world. Like you're a stranger, you don't belong here,
tourist visa
or
arborists or Bill you're a traveler.
Treat this world like that. This is not your permanent residence.
Then Abdullah of normal added his own to it. He said to the people
who inherited this hadith which is in Buhari, he said,
If you see the evening,
don't expect to be alive in the morning. You don't know. And if
you see the morning,
don't expect to be alive in the evening. He said take from your
health, for your sickness. In other words, while you are
healthy, take advantage of that. Because when you're sick, you may
not be able to do what you want to do in terms of worshiping and
setting up your offer. And he said take from your life for your
death. In other words, use your life in a way that when you die,
it will be a value.
So we have to prepare for that today without being depressed
about it. Because if we prepared for it properly, that no longer
becomes anything depressing. It becomes something to look forward
to. And we're going to talk about that Hadith also. hollyrock The
Allah Han Karim Allah who said that the hereafter the akhira is
traveling towards us through
and he says, and this life is traveling away from us. We're
leaving behind this dunya every day, every second every year, and
we're traveling to Accra is coming closer. So he said be children of
the Accra not the children of the dunya
because he said for today,
he said today is a day of action without accountability. Amen. No
Hassan, but tomorrow will be no action. But accountability.
Once you die, you cannot do any more. You are then held
accountable. Today you can do and nobody is taking your account for
it. So he said lead your life according to
say the man with the Allah Allah said
Don't forget the angel of death because he does not forget you
