Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah on Allah, he
was a human, Allah
Hamdulillah. We've just completed a brief tafsir of Surah analogy
that and what I'd like to do is do a brief recap of the lessons that
we learned from the surah.
And these are some of the lessons that I derive from the surah. And
there are certainly many more
that we can derive if we sit and ponder for a while.
So lesson number one is that death is real and inevitable.
And it's determination and knowledge is only with Allah azza
wa jal.
Allah Subhana Allah tells us in Surah Lokman, we're mad enough
summer that taxable
matter that enough somebody a year didn't emote,
in Allah Holleyman hobby,
that no one no person knows what it will earn for the morrow, for
tomorrow. And no person knows in what land he will die.
And indeed, Allah is all knower, and aware of all things.
So we have to always keep this in mind that everything that has been
given life will die. And it's not a matter of being depressed about
it. It's a matter of preparing for it. The Prophet salallahu Alaihe
Salam advises us to do,
he said, acts through to a lot of remembrance of death, because it
then puts your life in balance by
giving you the true worth of the enjoyment, the law that the
enjoyment of this earth so it puts that in balance.
One day, and the young companion of Rasulullah Salallahu Salam,
Abdullah Abner Omar, Radi Allahu Anhu Uma, who is known because he
would imitate the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam in, in the
greatest details, said that one day the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam held him by his shoulder and said to him, confit dunya
Calgary Ouroboros a wheel, which means be in this dunya
like you are a stranger, you don't belong here. As we've said,
before, we are on a tourist visa, we don't belong here. So to be
like a stranger or be like a traveler, who's going to move on.
And Abdullah normally the Allahu anima added to this by saying that
if you reach the evening, don't expect to be alive in the morning.
And if you reach the morning, don't expect to be alive in the
evening. And he said, take from your health, for your sickness, in
other words, while you are healthy, take advantage of it to
do the deeds that you would not be able to do. If you are sick and
disabled and unable deeds obviously for your aka that will
be a value and he said and take from your life for your death. In
other words, while Allah has given us this life, we have to use it to
our maximum advantage
to be positive
for our when we are dead and we are no longer able to do anything.
So I and you have to prepare for death every day today.
Ali are the Allah one god I'm Allah what you said that the
hereafter the Accra is traveling towards us. And he said this life
is traveling away from us. We are moving forward in time with no
pause and no respite. We're leaving this life behind and we're
moving forward after as drawing clear to us. So He said so be the
children of the actor of the hereafter and do not be the
children of this dunya
because he said for today is a day for a family for action. Without
his help without accountability. And tomorrow will be a day of
hisab of accountability with no ability to do any action.
And say the northmen or the Allah Han said to us he said don't
forget the angel of death because he does not forget you.
He does not forget you
evening evening
Josie
Baghdadi scholar who died around the year 12 102 or 12 101, said,
he said the ship of your life is approaching the coast of the
graveyard.
The ship of your life is approaching the coast of your
graveyard. What is the matter with you that you are busy inside the
ship, trying to acquire goods and set things, right? In other words,
prepare for the landing in the graveyard.
And see, as Ernie said something very beautiful. Also, he said, All
friend, the clot from which your coffin your shroud
will be cut, may have already reached the marketplace. And yet
you remain unaware.
Let's think about it. I don't know that maybe that fabric in which I
will be shrouded has already been manufactured. It's already been
shipped, solid been received in that retail store from where it
will be purchased from which the shroud is going to be cut. So we
don't know. And therefore, a smart person prepares for that. So
that's Lesson number one, the inevitability of death for all of
us. And this comes from the mention of the nose out on
national thought and the angels were extracting the soul telling
us that there is no escape from this molecule note. The second
lesson that I derive from it is that likewise the piano the Day of
Judgment is real and inevitable and its determination and its
ultimate knowledge is only with Allah subhanaw taala also, that is
like a little Kiama RPM I will start or hereafter starts with
death even though piano maybe 1000 years from now or more. So if this
piano as we know is a reality. In what condition do I want to meet
Allah subhanaw taala?
With what
provisions with what actions? Do I want to stand in front of Allah
subhanaw taala
our mother eyes are the hola Anna
said we had the privilege of standing before her about two
weeks ago in genital burpee for the hola arriba she said
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam said, Whoever
loves to meet a loss hunted Allah, Allah subhanaw taala loves to meet
him and whoever hates to meet Allah subhanaw taala Allah
subhanaw taala hates to meet
and in her usual
questioning, interrogative and inquisitive manner that she was
that personality. So you got a shot of the Alana. She said he
also allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam all of us hate death, and
we are averse to it. We don't want to die. So how does this?
How do we understand this hadith and the Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi salam said, You Aisha the matter is not like this. What is
meant by this is that when a believer is given the glad tidings
of the Mercy of Allah subhanaw taala His forgiveness, His
pleasure, his Paradise, he loves to meet Allah subhanaw taala and
He lovingly and willingly gives up his soul, and Allah loves to meet
him. Similarly,
on the other side, a disbeliever when he is given the news of the
punishment and the anger of Allah subhanaw taala the hardships that
will be imposed on him, he hates to meet Allah Subhana Allah and
Allah subhanaw taala hates to meet him.
So I have to determine where do I want to be?
The third lesson that I derived from this is that the true belief
in piano is not just a claim. I mean, you can ask any Muslim Do
you believe in piano? They have judgment, they will say yes.
But does my life reflect that I am preparing to meet Allah subhanaw
taala at any moment? Or does my life reflect that I am
working on the premise that I'm going to be here in this dunya
forever.
So what do my actions reflect of where my preference where do I
give preference in my life in my actions?
The fourth lesson is the characteristics of the people of
jahannam. And the people of Jannah. Allah subhanaw taala has
defined in the Surah the characteristics of the people of
Jana, he says for mmm and Baba
All Federal High dunya the one who transgressed violated all the
limits. And he manifested that by showing a preference for the life
of this. A preference didn't deny it, but his actions weren't
showing that his focus was the dunya.
The end the abode of this person is Jana. Similarly, the
characteristics of the person who is destined for Jana are also
defined in the Surah. Amendment half I'm a calm or a Bahai, when a
Hanif sir Anil Hawa, and the person who was afraid that he had
to stand in front of Allah Swanton, and therefore he prepared
for it. And in that preparation, he denied the desires, the evil
inclinations that went against Allah subhanaw taala as
commandments, he was tempted. He had, he saw the people so called
enjoying these things. And he held himself bad he had suffered, and
he denied his knifes, this is a personal agenda. Again, I need to
see what characteristics do I have? Where do I belong?
The fifth is a essential, strengthening and reassurance for
all of us because we also live in difficult times with difficulties
and persecution of Muslims worldwide. Then we hear all of
these stories of what's going on in in lands like China and India
and elsewhere.
We must remember that in the end, we learn from the story of Musa
alayhis, Salam and Iran and the story of the harsh that victory in
the end is for the truth, that Islam will triumph and that true
Muslims will prevail. In the end. The timeframe is determined by
Allah subhanaw taala. So we should never feel depressed, we should
never get discouraged no matter how unlikely this seems. Or even
if it seems impossible, because we look at the surface of what's
going on how things appear in this dunya don't get depressed, because
we are on the right, and we will prevail.
And again, when we read the story of Iran and Musa alayhis salam,
and we read this over and over again, in multiple Jews of the
Quran, we should not read it like a story or just for simple
condemnation of Iran.
He got what she got, and he will get in the Afra what Allah has
promised him
but which when we read the story, we should also reflect internally
to determine if I have my own internal little Fairholme, or big
throne.
And how often does my internal throne rebel,
the hall
and Abara turn his back to the call of Musa de Sena
do to the call of Rasulullah sallallahu
ultimately to the call of Allah azza wa jal to purify myself to
obey Allah subhanaw taala to acknowledge Him as my Lord.
We must remember that every time I knowingly disobey Allah subhanaw
taala and I reject or ignore His commandments,
my internal frown, my lower enough's has its own way, in its
own way, has declared an Anna, Anna Rebecca
as Fanon said, in other words, I am taking my knifes as my as my
ILA. So we must remember that this is a form of shake every time we
disobey in its own way. And we must be very careful May Allah
Subhana Allah protect us.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to protect us from ourselves, our
lower knifes, our disobedience, and our tendency to rebel.
In conclusion, my dear brothers and sisters, all of the Quran, is
for the purpose of transformation of our lives. When I read the
Quran, it should be to transform my life, to bring my life in
conformity to Allah subhanaw taala is commandments and prohibitions
to be his true Khalifa on earth, and to worship him as his drew
ABD.
reading of the Quran and studying of the Quran is not meant as an
academic exercise.
because the Quran will be a hedger and evidence against us, or in our
favor
our defense attorney or our prosecutor.
So, this surah is another strong reminder to me to seriously look
at my life to analyze the worth of my life, the way I have led it
through the lens of the reality of the
the sort of reminds me to make those necessary corrections. Now,
without delay while I still have time to reset my priorities, what
do I give preference to to make Toba to Allah subhanaw taala to
renew my covenant with Allah subhanaw taala to learn my way
into practice by the I need to make sure that my life is one of
obedience and not disobedience. And there is no defiance in my
life, no matter how I justified by saying that I'm busy or I'm weak
or someday Allah will give me Tofik these are not valid excuses.
So we need to talk to Alas, Pata line manager at and we need to
make a lot of dua to Allah subhanaw taala we need to repent
to Him insult true Toba and we need to ask him for his help and
strength
to strengthen our iman in your pain, and we ask Allah subhanaw
taala for that, for steadfastness in our journey to him and we ask
Allah subhanaw taala to purify our lower NuForce from his desires.
And we ask Allah throughout the law to change our character to the
best of character, the best of luck that reflects this effect of
Allah subhanaw taala and we ask Allah subhanaw taala to give us a
life that is full of obedience to Him, and not just Partial
obedience because Allah subhanaw taala considers Partial obedience
or partial acceptance of His commandments. Equivalent to cover
up because he says after two men will not be bothered Kitabi were
tactful will not be bad for managers. Oh my god. Yes. Hello,
Dolly. Come in. Come on Phil hired to dunya a yarmulke? Yeah, Matty,
your aduna Illa Usha della the coma law will be awful in a month
time alone. Allah subhanaw taala says, then how is it that you
believe in part of the Scripture and you reject the rest? What is
the consequence of this? What is the verdict for something like
this? He said,
Excuse me.
So then what is the recompense for those who do so among you accept
disgrace in this dunya in the life of this world, and on the Day of
Resurrection, I said the other day will be consigned to the most
grievous torment and Allah is not aware of what you do. So we need
to ask Allah subhanaw taala for a life that we lead that He is
pleased with, when we meet in a meeting with him that I look
forward to where he looks forward to meeting me because he is
pleased with me.
See, it's such a beautiful feeling to know that Allah subhanaw taala
who already knows what we are going to say to him
He patiently awaits us and he listens to us and he responds to
us. He is Allah.
