Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh on Bismillah
Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah Allahi wa Sahbihi
woman whether or
not Amata help alumina Allah Masha Sedona
olam master Masami Abu lubaina Lydic ric.
Allahumma I did not help Capcom was opened it are in El Belle till
about Dylan was finished in Aruba.
We praise Allah subhanaw taala
and we thank Allah subhanaw taala and we glorify Allah subhanaw
taala as he deserves,
according to His divine grace, His Majesty,
that is perfection. And we send peace and blessings on our beloved
prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the best of Allah's
creation,
the best example the deliverer of good tidings, and a warner
sent for all of mankind, all of humanity to the Day of Judgment.
The sale of Prophethood who was a prophet a Nabi, when other Malays
Salam was still between roar and just said,
the prophets of Allah and use synonyms message is eternal. And
all previous messages that came up are a part and parcel of the
message of Rasulullah Salallahu Salam. All revelations that came
before are incorporated within the Quran. And with this book, Allah
subhanaw taala has completed his revelation, His favor on Tamil
mankind and choose the chosen Islam as the deen. This is the
final Ummah after which no other ummah will come. There is no other
prophet to come after the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam.
So the prophets Allah, Allah new Salam took care of everything that
humanity would need, till the day of judgment to save themselves.
Among those were his example, his living example, among that was
Bashara are glad tidings for the believers and for the righteous
people, so that they would strive more for it. And among them were
warnings. Because Allah subhanaw taala
has
sent him as a Warner, to warn us of what was going to come ahead,
so that we don't act surprised on the Day of Judgment when we face
that reality.
So the people of Makkah,
had the problem with
the resurrection.
They could not accept the fact that the bones could be brought
back to life.
They could not accept the fact that the deeds small and large,
can be recorded, that there can be witnesses and that there is a day
of judgment. Everything else they were willing to accept they did
believe in Allah subhanaw taala even though they attributed
partners and
did shook with with goulash Panatela.
So, some of these
doubts of the kuffaar are addressed in the Surah which talks
about the day of judgment to talks about
how the day of judgment would come and things like that.
So there is some dispute among the scholars as to when the surah was
revealed.
One opinion is that it is in the late makan period and there is
another opinion that it's from the early Medina and period.
Obviously the style and the content favour that this is a
makin Surah but it's not that critical.
There are some special things about the surah and there is a
Hadith some have narrated that this is from the saying of abdulai
bass Robbie Allahumma is narrated by Imam Tirmidhi that whoever
recites Surah Zelizer
As Allah,
this is
the reward of reading half of the Quran
that tells us how weighty the surah is. And we can reflect on
that. How could a surah that's just eight is give you the reward
of
half of the Quran.
Well, if we reflect, we will see that this talks about the Day of
Judgment,
which is what everything of this dunya is focused on all of our
life has one central focus, Allah subhanaw taala. And the meeting
with unless
the meeting with Allah subhanaw taala is the Day of Judgment.
Everything that we do here is going to have an impact on that
day.
Good deeds, bad deeds. So if you look at it that way,
believe in Allah subhanaw taala all the deeds, believe in Allah
subhanaw taala belief in Day of Judgment belief in the Quran
belief in this message of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
is part and parcel of the surah so that's why it is so weighty.
When the surah was revealed, in one narration from a Tabori
say that Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu heard this from Rasulullah
Salallahu Salam, and he started to weep.
So Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam said, Yeah, Abubaker what
makes you weep so bitterly?
And he said,
era surah Allah, it's the weight of the surah. Because Allah
subhanaw taala is going to bring the smallest things that we have
done.
That means
we are going to be destroyed.
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam reassured him, he said, you have a
backup. If human beings were not to commit sins, Allah subhanaw
taala would remove them and bring other people who would commit
sins, so that when they repent, Allah would forgive them. So the
commission of sins is to fulfill one of the CIFAR one of the
attributes of Allah subhanaw taala of Ottawa wa jal, Gaafu Rahim, His
mercy, His forgiveness, his acceptance of Toba. So to manifest
that
a person has to sin, if nobody sins, how could you say he is
forgiving? Although he is. So Allah subhanaw taala. This is a
way in which Allah subhanaw taala manifests His Jamal, his beauty
and that the difficulties we face in our lives.
The hardships we have the pains we have the loss we have Allah
subhanaw taala uses that
in exchange of removing some of our sins. So this is how he
reassured Abu Bakr, Siddiq Rabea Lavon. In another narration,
another major companion, Abu Saeed Al Kadri. When he heard the surah
he came to Rasul Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam, and he said, You are
a source of love.
Do I have to watch my good deeds? Also allah sallallahu sallam said
yes.
Then he said Yara, Sula, all the major deeds.
He said yes.
And he said, all the little deeds?
He said yes. And when he was talking about this, he was talking
about both good and bad. So when he heard that he has to watch over
even his little deeds, what we consider small offenses and sins.
He said, Yeah, rasool Allah, I am don't.
This is how they took the seriously that they, if Allah is
going to call us to account for every little thing, then there is
no salvation.
So Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam said to him, I'm sure good
have good Glad Tidings to you. Yeah, Abba sallied Allah subhanaw
taala rewards good deeds by multiplying the reward What 10 to
700 times and more
as he wants
and
he only gives one sin, the value of one sin, one to one, no
multiplication.
And without the forgiveness of Allah subhanaw taala
you cannot be saved anyway, on account of your good deeds. So I
will say it said Ya Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam, not even
you.
So he said salatu salam, not even me, if Allah does not shower me
with his mercy is Rama and his favor.
So of course Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam is reassuring us that
this is serious, but a las Panatela has mercy and forgiveness
and His reward is much greater. So nobody should take this as a
reason to quit and say well, I can't do anything about
it. So, with that background, we will start the surah Allah
subhanaw taala says elder we lay him in a shape on your regime
Bismillah Iraqi manual working
either Zulu Zilla, till our buzzer Allah
either means when
the earth is shaking
zils Allah by its specific, tremendous, ultimate earthquake.
Allah subhanaw taala is saying, when the earth shakes when it
quakes,
with the earthquake that Allah subhanaw taala has just endured
from the time the Earth was created.
And the earth knows that it has that ultimate convulsion of
destruction.
So,
Allah subhanaw taala addresses the doubts of the doubters that will
there be a Day of Judgment, Allah subhanaw taala doesn't say if the
earth shakes.
There is certainty in this either. When it shakes, means it's implied
in there, it will definitely shake there is no doubt about it. That
ultimate earthquake well Allah subhanaw taala mentions elsewhere
in the Quran, that fear the Day when the earth will be shaking.
So there is an ultimate earthquake that Allah subhanaw taala has
programmed and destined for this earth, which is the destruction.
Now, how do we identify with it, Allah subhanaw taala has given us
here, examples of natural phenomena that we know that we
have some idea with, for example, most of us at some point, have
experienced earthquake.
I remember an earthquake back when I was in 10th grade, in my
boarding school in the Himalayan mountains from the earthquake, the
roof caved in, and it fell on our beds except we were not in the in
the beds at that time. So we've seen earthquakes, we've felt the
Earth Move. And if you live in California, of course, you
experienced it all the time. So we have an experience. Now,
when the Earth moves, you ask what makes the Earth Move? Why does it
move?
And the scientists will tell you because there is a pressure that's
built up between the layers of under the earth which are called
tectonic plates. And they are moving, they're drifting and the
pressure builds up, builds up builds up till suddenly it gives,
and the vibration of that does this. Now that's just the
mechanism. That's not why earthquakes happen. Earthquakes
happen by the command of Allah. Based on our Amal, Allah subhanaw.
Taala tells us as we've learned many times, that whatever happens
of disasters and facade and things in the, in the oceans, whether
it's volcanoes under erupting underneath, whether it's storms
that are coming, whether it's tsunamis that are coming, whether
it's earthquakes, that they are a result of the hands of men, the
actions of man so that Allah subhanaw taala may make them taste
some
of what they do.
So the earth is
witnessing everything that is being done.
And the earth is in a state of great anguish.
sheesh of pain. Because of all the disobedience that happens on the
earth. The earth says I'm hosting all of these creatures of Allah
subhanaw taala and yet they deny and disobey Him. Because the vast
majority of humanity
is disbelievers and sinners. And the earth to carry them the earth,
if it had its own mind would have destroyed everything long ago, but
it is patiently waiting for that decree of Allah.
So,
Allah subhanaw taala is saying when that event happens, it will
certainly happen when it happens. The earth will be shaken Zella by
an earthquake that is programmed into it, which will be like no
other earthquake because as we know, earthquakes have limited
area geographically and limited ability what we have the tremor,
what we call the Richter scale. So you have
5.7 in California, you don't feel it in Arizona. Okay. We have 8.0
in Chile, you don't feel it here.
Now, imagine if the whole earth shook at one time.
And it shook at an intensity where the Richter scales no longer are
relevant. Do you think anything would remain?
No matter how earthquake proof we make our buildings because Allah
subhanaw taala tells us that the mountains will be decimated
they'll become like dust. So think about the buildings and what we
what we make.
So altos Allah smart Allah is telling us that there is an
ultimate convulsion of this earth, which will destroy the earth as it
exists.
When that happens, Allah subhanaw taala says
Raja till Abdo Carla
on
the earth of Raja Raja, it means to expel to throw out
that the earth because the earth the earth is a feminine gender in
Arabic have Rajat it will throw out or she literally she will
throw out what
Carla fair call means the burdens it's carrying the weight, it's
carrying the baggage it is carry. What is meant by that
the vast majority of scholars have said the this what is meant by
this is it will expel all of the human beings that have died and
have been buried from the time of other mothers salaam till the last
one. Every single human being will be thrown out of the earth
wherever the remains were,
whether they were buried, whether they were cremated, whether they
drowned in the ocean, whether they were eaten by animals or fish,
wherever those particles are, the Earth will throw them out, expel
it vomited out, so they will come out the earth will be
overturned.
Why is it called burden?
They call baggage. It was caring. Because all of the deeds of men,
the majority of which were bad was a great burden for this earth.
Yet it was carrying it.
So that's the majority opinion that this is talking about. Every
human being every single one of us will be thrown out of our graves
or our final resting places thrown out back to life.
Along with that,
everything else that the Earth carried in it. Specifically,
according to the Hadith, the treasures of the earth will be
expelled out. So when the human beings come out together
and they see a mass of humanity, how big
every single there has never been a gathering like this. No matter
what gatherings you've been to whether you are in hajj, whether
you and some of these other
gatherings of other faiths, no matter if you put them all
together, it would not come close to this. This is billions and
billions and billions of people all
raised together.
And what they will see is columns or piles of
gold, and silver, and all the natural resources, the diamonds
and the Emeralds and the oils and everything that people fight over
and keel over,
will be thrown out.
And they said, The murderer on that day will look at these piles
of gold and silver, and say, Is this what I murdered people for,
and the one who cut off relationships with their siblings
and their relatives, would say, This is what I cut my
relationships over to check more of this dunya these treasures, and
the thief will say is this, all of which I had my hands cut,
because they will look at it with disdain, because with all of these
piles, and treasures, and gold and silver, nobody will care anything
about because they would be worthless.
So
all of this will be expelled out.
Along with that, there is a narration into Bharani that the
Prophet sallallaahu Salam said, the wearer of the earth,
the earth is your mother. And any good or evil will be testified to
by it means whatever you do on this earth, it will testify on the
Day of Judgment, when it on everything that you thought was
hidden, is thrown out. The word recall is also used for your
everything, your possessions in your house, okay, but you keep
your treasure. Nobody knows what you have in your house. Suppose
one day you come back to your house. And every single item of
your,
of your house is lying out in the open lawn, every single thing.
From every article of clothing to every dollar to every piece of
furniture to every single thing is out in the open.
Or the whole world knows everything that you have, what
you've collected, what you've aspired everything. So this is
like that.
The call is also used for the baggage that a traveler carries.
So your baggage that you have traveled through this whole Earth,
in your life will be out there exposed.
Now, when this happens, this is actually referring to the second
blowing of the trumpet. Because this is not talking about the
destruction of people is talking about the resurrection when
they're thrown out of their graves. And as we know, there are
stages of the Day of Judgment. There are the final signs that are
coming, the major signs and all of those have passed, for example
that the jail has been killed is Allah Salam has come after that
the believers live for a while and then their souls are taken and
Allah subhanaw taala only leaves the most evil people on this
earth, to the point that no one even knows the name of Allah. No
one says law, in law, law, and on that
humanity, or lack of humanity, the first trumpet, the soul will be
blown, which will destroy everything, everyone will die.
And then there's a gap. And now this refers to the second blowing
of the trumpet when Allah Subhan of the soul that Allah subhanaw
taala will bring this Rafi on a cell Salam back to life and give
him the command. When he blows that then the earth will shake and
expel everything. And people will come out from their final resting
places.
And when they come out, the earth will be shaking.
And they will be sort of flabbergasted they can walk
straight as Allah subhanaw taala says elsewhere in the Quran that
on that day when the earth is shaking, people will look like
they are drunk but they are not drunk.
Because when the earth is shaking, you are unstable. You can walk
straight and human beings are always instinctively looking for
stability in everything stability in their life, stability in their
marriage, stability in their economic status, stability of the
earth, and that's what they're used to. The earth is stable, but
on that day, it's different.
So everything is shaking, they're walking like they are drunk.
So, some of them will say, we'll call an insert no man they're
called insulin. As we talked about when Allah smart Allah talks about
insulin. He's talking more about individuals. When he says NAS
means people.
Insulin, or also, as we said before, is from NASA from
forgetting, forgetfulness, that the forgetful man will say, Malla
What is the matter with this earth? Why is it like this?
So, the scholars of the fsid have said, Who's going to say this?
Will a believer since?
The answer is no. Because the believer heard about it. The
believer believed in it, when he sees it.
He will recognize he will say what, this is what Allah and His
messenger told us. And Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth. It
is the disbelievers those who denied it. Let's see what's
happening.
Because they would also have forgotten the warnings that were
given because they didn't believe
so they will say, we'll call it Insano Malla. means this is a
statement of, of fear of disbelief, what is going on?
What is going on, we've never experienced something like this.
Well, you were warned about it.
Then Allah subhanaw taala now says Yo Ma is in to help the to Barra.
Now, Allah subhanaw taala doesn't use the word Yo Ma e then
on that day, now when Allah subhanaw taala uses this
formulation of expression. It's not saying when on that it's no
longer saying when it will happen. What he says on that day, there is
some seriousness there is a warning, there is an expression of
anger. Yoma isn't on that day, to head the to ask better
the earth will
have death I will will speak
will
express will disclose something that may not have been known news.
Bara the news bar, the news, when the Word of God is used generally
it is for the present and happenings of the past. The word
never is also used as a surah number four news, but number also
implies what will happen news of the future but Akbar is news of
the present and the past. So Allah subhanaw taala says,
On that day, the Earth will
disclose will speak
give the news that was within it, what it had kept. This is part of
that burden that it was carrying
the call of the actual record of the action of every human being.
So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us among the witnesses first he
has established Yes, the Day of Judgment will happen.
He has given us about what is going to happen he said yes you
will be resurrected.
Yes the earth will be leveled Yes, you will be gathered.
And the earth will be one of the witnesses as we know we've
mentioned in previous sources. Of course Allah subhanaw taala is
shade is the ultimate witness. The angels are witness our body parts
are witness other human beings are witness now Allah subhanaw taala
is telling us something more that even those things that you
consider inanimate
like the Earth, like the rocks, like the trees, they will also
witness they witness what you do they record what you do.
At that time, 1400 years ago, this would have been because of the
image they had no doubt but to figure out how can the earth
keep a record of thing would be not something that they
Don't even imagine, we live in a time
where records are kept
not in gigs, but terabytes kept on watch
on chips made of what? Silica
from the earth
same component. So, human beings are keeping records, detailed
records on particles that are part of the earth. Allah subhanaw taala
told us that the earth is recording everything. So, it
should be even clearer for us and more
certainty that yes everything is being recorded
when will this be n Rebecca Oh ha
Allah subhanaw taala says be n
Rebecca. Now, there is a nuance here
everything that we have in the Surah is in third person, this
will happen this will happen that will happen this will be said this
will be done.
There is only one part in the Surah where there is a second
person
Allah subhanaw taala didn't say, b n Rebecca Oh Hala, which would be
perfectly fine. That yes, the Sustainer of the earth inspired it
to speak instead of that Allah subhanaw taala says in Rob backcap
second person male singular, who is this being said to Rasul Allah,
Allah.
This is another way in which the Prophet salallahu Salam is shown
honored, because everything else is a third person distant.
And when you talk in second person that talks means what is called
Dockery or closeness when you're talking to someone that Allah
subhanaw taala is showing you the status of in an indirect way of
Rasulullah sallallahu
where he could have said, and her Lord, the Lord of the Earth,
inspired her to talk to give the witness. But Allah subhanaw taala
honors the prophet by saying or Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam,
your Lord,
your Lord inspired her, gave it what he owes, which means
inspiration, which all of ye we take it as Revelation it is not
all revelation, it is inspiration also, because anything that is
communicated secretly such as Allah subhanaw taala uses the word
for the beat that Allah subhanaw taala inspired to be Allah
subhanaw taala uses this as word as an inspiration
to the mother of Musa alayhis salaam, for example, that we
inspired her to do this to the newborn baby to put the baby in a
basket and Allah subhanaw taala uses this word for the shayateen
that they use this also means they secretly communicate. So Allah
subhanaw taala has communicated with the earth when it is to
converse, and when it is to disclose and going forward as a
witness against all of mankind.
Then Allah subhanaw taala says Yo Ma event same thing on bad day.
Yes, don't NASA Ashta tell Li ro Elohim
yo maya, then no again giving details of that day.
Allah subhanaw taala says on that day, the Earth will speak about
everything. Again, he's saying on that day. Yes, plural, Nas.
Sadara means to, to come forth to come forward, that people will
come forward, there is another meaning of the word of Sadara
which is used for when somebody leaves their home to fetch
something comes back. That's also one of the meanings. So some of
the scholars have, have have tafsir have said that the one who
went into their graves after having lived here are coming back
out.
So that's the word of yesterday. But generally, if you just take it
simply that people will come
Lord, they will be brought forth they will return, return from
their graves, where they have been come back to the earth, except the
Earth has now been changed, it's been leveled.
So, from the world, they went to the graves and from the grave back
to the earth, except now it is no longer the earth, that they knew
the earth that they knew the world that they lived in was a world of
choices of actions.
And they live that and they went into the graves. Now can they come
back to the earth? This is not the world of actions of choices. This
is the world of witnessing your actions, what you had done, when
you were here the first time.
So, the first time is to act. And the second time is to witness the
acts.
Now you're no longer in control. You can only see witness what you
have done.
First time, we have the power to act.
Yes neuron NAS now Allah Swanton is using not in sun NAS means all
of mankind. As we said before, every human being that was ever
created, I should tell I started means shut down means to have
groups.
You seen in this world, we all live together as one humanity and
that's promoted. And we have believers listening next to the
disbeliever and a sinner with the with the righteous and all people
are mixed together. But we have some experience of grouping,
because we choose our company. So we like groups, for example, we
have a Quran group, because we'd like to study the Quran together.
We have groups of people who get together because they come from
one country, they identify, they have the same culture. There are
people who grew up together because of the language there are
people who grew up together because of the interests that so
we are used to grouping people, birds of a feather flock together.
So Allah subhanaw taala is again referencing us with something that
we already experienced groups, that on that day, also you will be
when you're brought out, you will be grouped, that people will be
brought together or started in different groups. Now, what are
these different groups, obviously the most obvious the people of
Lila heilala, and those who did not believe who either were
Katherine or machine, that's one division.
Now within those divisions, even among the believers, you are going
to have the sinners and the righteous
among the righteous, you're going to have those who were far ahead a
sabe, hakuna Saudi,
you have the obedient and the disobedient.
So all of that and ultimately, if you break these groups down and
the Quran also refers about it, the groups become smaller and
smaller and smaller,
till you become an individual and Allah subhanaw taala has mentioned
that for example, and so we are Miriam, that you will be brought
as individual further in front of Allah subhanaw taala.
So, there is a large group of believers, group of disbelievers
people have the right hand people have the left hand otherwise,
Saran looked on the right and the smiley looked on the left during
the Mirage and cried, and then some groups of groups tell
finally,
you are actually alone, in front of Allah Samaritan. Now imagine,
in a place where there is only standing room, there is no room to
move because of the the numbers of people in that group.
You're going to feel alone an individual and we've talked about
that, nobody will know their mother or the father of their
brother or their spouse or their children, enough's enough, see, so
Allah subhanaw taala is telling us that there will be groups and we
believe in that. And then there are subgroups and so on so forth.
And as we know, some faces as of last month, Allah says will be
brightened people of the righteous people, people who are believers
who are destined for the Jannah and some people will be darkened
okay,
because of their sins, that disbelief and so on and so forth.
Now, what is the purpose of bringing all of these people out
and gather Allah subhanaw taala says, Lee you Rao and lead the
purpose, for the purpose of what you allow for them to be shown so
that they see
To be shown Allah Allah home their deeds.
They are gathered so that they may be shown the deeds the deeds that
were done.
As we said before Amma are those deeds, those actions that are done
consciously fell into includes things that are done consciously
and unconsciously, such as breathing such as, such as
blinking, such as seeing and hearing, there is a difference,
okay?
We hear things we don't want to hear we're hearing. We're not
accountable for that we are accountable for listening what we
listen to. Similarly, we see everything around. You're not
accountable for that we are accountable for what we look at.
Okay, what is done consciously.
Okay. So everything will be there that we did.
And we will not fail to see anything.
This includes good deeds and bad deeds. Now, you might say, Well,
why should my bad deeds be there? When I did Toba and Toba erases
them, and Allah forgive me promise me forgiveness.
You will be shown everything so that you are you refreshed,
because we forget many things we forget. I mean, did you go to such
and such place and I try hard and hard I said, I absolutely didn't
go there.
And that is proof that I did go there. And I still can't recall.
On that day, Allah subhanaw taala will show every deed. So it will
be recorded. Now imagine how horrific how scary it would be to
see all of those sinful deeds, all of those things that we are not so
proud of, that are still there.
What some have said that that so that we can then appreciate
Allah, someone tell us forgiveness and mercy, that all of these in
spite of all of these, he erased them, and you forgive them, and he
still rewards me. And we see the good deeds, and they don't look so
good. And yet, we appreciate his Rama and we say for that deed,
unless wanting to give me so much so that we may appreciate
and show appreciation to Allah subhanaw taala more for his
rewards and for the abatement of the punishments.
Everything will be shown. Now the question is will it be shown to
everybody
and Allah subhanaw taala according to some of the Hadith will show,
bring a person next to him and show him the scroll of everything,
show him the recording of everything, till that person will
see
everything and he will say I'm surely doomed.
And Allah subhanaw taala will say
that I had put in my subtle,
my sister my cover, nobody knew about this, what you have done,
and today also, I will cover this nobody will know. So the deeds
would be shown to you.
It will not be on public display Allah subhanaw taala will not
dishonor His believers by showing their sinful deeds to the others.
So the sinners and the disbelievers oh you claim to be
this you are doing this Allah Subhana Allah is subpar.
is deep he will cover he covered in the dunya and according to the
Hadith they will cover but we will be shown them so that we can see
what we did. And then we know how truly merciful Allah subhanaw
taala is how truly Gaafu Allah subhanaw taala isn't far
know Allah subhanaw taala says
for my yarmulke miss call Avila thin Hi, Rania.
Then after you know,
my Yama whoever did myth call, the weight with call is something that
weighs the call as you same word, the call something that has a
weight to it the counterweight with call the instrument the Allah
for measuring the thing. Vera Vera means the smallest known particle.
So for the Arabs of that time, the according to the Mufasa rule, the
smallest
Things they knew were the ends, the tiny hands and the eggs of the
hands. So they would consider it like that. Sometimes, it was also
used because when you see in a dark room, the sunrays going
through the sun beam, and you see dust particles floating in it.
That was. So now some of the translations will say, atoms worth
of good, because we know something smaller and that is subatomic
particles. The idea is not what we know of neutrinos and quarks and
so on so forth. The idea is no matter how insignificant how small
a deed is, it will be recorded and shown.
Hydrangea of goodness.
Last one, Allah says whoever is done,
the weight of even the smallest good now what is good, what is
naturally known of quiet to every human human being, you don't have
to explain what is good meaning. Generosity is good. Everybody
knows that telling the truth is good. Everybody knows that.
You know, all of the good that a person can do,
even if it's small, will be shown things that's why the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam said don't consider anything insignificant,
even a smile as a charity. Elsewhere, he said, you know, save
yourself from the hellfire, even if it is from a part of a date,
even if you don't have a full date to give,
give that
if no little removing a stone from the path, so nobody can trip or
hurt on it, every little thing is recorded the earth records it and
it will carry value, if it is done with the right intention of
helping humanity for the pleasure of Allah. So
and of course the ultimate of of good deeds is belief in law a law
that is the ultimate of higher
so Allah subhanaw taala is telling us all your good deeds will be
displayed no matter how small how big again, they will be weighed
you will behold you will see it and they will be weighed and we
are going to come to the weighing aspect of it after this inshallah
if I if I remember to do it. And then again Allah subhanaw taala
says, well me repeats the same thing. Well me I'm a myth caller
the rotten Sharanya are the thing changes the sharp shutter means
everything that sets you ablaze of what is universally known to be
wrong, murder is wrong. lying is wrong is sharp, cheating is wrong.
All of this everything that is universally known is sha
Allah subhanaw taala is saying
that anyone who has done a major sin less than less so
insignificant that they thought it was nothing will also be shown and
it will be weighed.
There is a narration that our mother Aisha Radi Allahu anha said
to Rasulullah sallallahu usen. She said, Ya rasool Allah, I know the
most, weightiest or the most
what what would you say? The the toughest, the most severe verse of
the Quran is Narrated by Abu Dowd.
Prophets SallAllahu sallam said the Aisha what is it? So she said,
Well, Miam and Miss Carla rotten Sharia, that even the smallest
sin,
even the smallest sin will be shown
the Prophet sallallahu sallam said,
This is what happens to the believer that those small sins
that they commit,
when any problems of the dunya the same, the form of what she told I
will say the CADRE, he said to her, the Allah, Juana Marva. That
the problems that a person faces faces in his life, the
difficulties
as a consequence of that last month, Allah will remove will
erase the small sins that we do in our lives. This is a way of
cleansing. So the person actually
He sees that in his in this life also. Because if you've done some
some of those small sins, you go through some difficulties knowing
that this is a response, I am seeing the consequences of my
actions. That's why we say every many times we have mentioned this,
that every action has consequences in dunya. And
so even the small would be considered small or minor sins, of
neglect, and so on so forth, have consequences. But except we don't
have the acumen to, to relate it. We say Oh, this happened in this
happened because of some things that I would have done. Allah
subhanaw taala sent this difficulty, as a result of which
he wanted to remove that blemish from my record.
So this is why the Sahaba were afraid of small sins, and the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam warned us, he said, Beware of
accumulation of small sins, because when small sins
accumulate,
we become desensitized to it.
And the more we become desensitized, the more we do it.
And this is similar to what we talked about many times the
scientific experiment of the frog that is thrown in a pot of boiling
water, because the water is so boiling, it immediately jumps out
of its of the hot water and saves itself, the same frog is put in a
pot of room temperature, and it's swimming in there and gradually
the temperature is increased by a small fire, and the temperature
keeps going up and up and up, the frog gets so used to it till the
water has reached a point where it boils to death, but doesn't jump
out. Because it's gotten used to that. So this is the same effect
of small sins on us. So small sins are not to be taken lightly. And
that's why the Sahaba were always afraid of that.
Now, when we use this word,
that we will see these, when we see these, literally you will be
seeing the actions, and you will be understanding the significance
and the consequences, you will also understand the actions that
we have done.
Because ultimately we see things to recognize them to know what
impact they have in our lives. And at that point, it will be what
impact is going to have on my other.
There is
some commentators have said that the the, among the s Baba Newzoo,
the occasion of revelation of of these verses had to do with some
of the early Muslims
thought that the major acts of charity, were the only ones that
would be rewarded, you have to do big charity. So they if they just
had, you know a piece of bread or a date or a half a day, they
stopped giving it to the poor people that this has nothing.
So Allah subhanaw taala said, and as the Hadith says even if you
have a small act, it is the intent behind it and what what you are
doing. And similarly, they thought that only major sins were
impactful is going to end person in Jana, and Allah subhanaw taala
correct that understanding also by saying, No, even the small sins
are being recorded, and they will be shown to you.
So some have said that this is the S Bible news all for these
eyelets.
So
there was something I was going to talk about
what was it?
Yeah, the way with Ghana. So
what is going to be Wait, and as we've mentioned before, here we
are being shown deeds
are the it's not the numbers, it's the weight that they carry. So,
yes, deeds will be weighed, that is a definite opinion and there is
plenty of evidence from the Quran. So,
imagine a deed
is suppose once one of my daughter is being put on the scale for
weighing.
And I look at it and it doesn't budge the scale at all means it
had no weight.
Even though it was a good deed, no wait, because it lacked
concentration, it lacked presence of my right what was the intention
behind it to some of the deeds which may seem
Good two people, we carry no weight on that day. They have to
have a class for Allah subhanaw taala that is known only to Allah
Subhana Allah, they have to be done as perfectly in congruence
with the Sunnah of Rasulullah. Messiah. Did we follow it in
meticulous details? Did we do it properly? Did we do it with hope
and Allah subhanaw taala with fear of a must win off Allah subhanaw
taala feeling his presence? So the numbers don't matter. It's when
they are put on the scale, do they carry some weight? So the deeds
will be weighed? There is no question about
there is also narration that the scrolls, the records will be
weighed.
And we have
the, the narration in which a person's all of the sins, the
scrolls, pages and pages of a person sins have been recorded,
and it will be put on a scale on one side, and the scale will go
way down.
And the person feels he is doomed. And Allah subhanaw taala will say
Did he have any good deeds? And they said, No, we have found just
one. He said what is that put it on the other side of the scale and
that is that is La ilaha illa. Allah when that is put in there,
it will cast off all the scrolls. In other words, that's the belief
in Allah subhanaw taala can eliminate all of those misdeeds of
sins and all. But this is an indication Yes, the scrolls, the
records will also be weighed, but what are the records containing
they're containing our deeds, good deeds and bad deeds?
And there is also narration that a person will be weighed. And that
comes from Do you remember one time so yeah, even in mass? Oh,
there are the Alana was on a tree doing something. And the wind was
blowing his ISA and companion saw his little tiny, skinny little
legs, and they started laughing at him. Like what kind of skinny legs
he has, you know, and the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, and you
heard this, he said, Do you know what kind of weight those skinny
legs will have on the Day of Judgment. All of these are our,
you know, gather that the weight of a person is the the worth of a
person is the deeds of the person, the record of the person or the
deeds of the person. So it's all essentially different ways of
saying the same thing.
So Allah subhanaw taala starts with convulsing the biggest piece
of land that we know the earth
levels it convulses it brings its treasures out
and then says the smallest, which is the smallest record of
everything, of every deed will be shown.
This surah
should convulse, our hearts should shake it should have an earthquake
in our heart when we hear this, that everything is being recorded,
everything is going to be out there. What do I want to face on
that day? What do I want to see on that day in front of us? Forget
about people, because oh, what will people say, you know, doesn't
matter about people? What will? How will I face Allah subhanaw
taala with these deeds.
And that's why
we have to be aware of every moment of our lives. That's why it
is said that we must give the right the Huq of the world of that
moment, every moment in our life. Every nanosecond has a command of
Allah,
some action to be done or something to be refrained from.
That hap should be fulfilled. Because that moment never comes
back.
For example, in the Avada of Allah subhanaw taala.
If you miss an act of EBA, such as vasana.
And may Allah Samantha help us never to do that. You still have
an ability to make it up to some degree which is called a cada.
But for every moment that is passing, you can't make it up.
When are you going to make it up you can only make it up at another
moment of time which has its own arc
something else to be done at each moment of our lives. So we should
be aware that every moment of our life is at least with the
awareness of Allah subhanaw taala and I don't want to say at least
this is a great thing to be aware for last one collateral times,
doing something good knowing what this moment
demands from me. Knowing that this moment Allah wants me to lower my
gaze, knowing that this moment Allah wants me to close my mouth
and not say a word, knowing at this moment, ALLAH SubhanA, Allah
wants me to control my anger. Knowing at this moment of
challenge Allah wants me to do Saba, knowing at this moment of
joy, Allah wants me to recognize Him and DO sugar, and so on and so
forth. Knowing at this moment that there's a needy that I should
help, knowing at this moment that somebody needs advice, or
consolation, and that I take care of it.
Every moment has a hug, and it shouldn't be
given.
And if we lead our lives with that frame of mind,
then when we see we would be happy to see every version of fire every
atom, or particle of hair, and we would have protected ourselves
from the sinfulness that the scariness of that last iron.
And all of that can be raised with sincere Toba and sincere Toba
requires us to stop what we are doing. To turn back do is the far
to compensate for it. And feel a hatred for it feel Naadam regret
for having done it.
And to dislike what Allah dislikes,
to hate what Allah hates, to love what Allah subhanaw taala loves to
love, what Rasulullah sallallaahu Sam loves and so on and so forth.
So we need to lead
all of our lives just based on the surah that's why it's like reading
half of the Quran. If you just had this surah you could leave your
read, you know, lead your whole life in the, for the pleasure of
Allah.
So, we take the surah and we apply it in our lives, that this is what
is going to be happening. We have a meeting we have an appointment
with Allah subhanaw taala my preparation for that appointment
is that I want to pack my bags for that of good deeds. I want to
eliminate what I don't want to show up in the Presence of Allah
smart Allah with with my Toba and sincere sincerity and by doing
good deeds, that is, that is So may Allah subhanaw taala Baker's
wall, people of the moment to fulfill its right people of the
consciousness of Allah subhanaw taala at all moments, people who
look for knowledge of what would please Allah subhanaw taala at
this moment, people who know that the people who know Allah subhanaw
taala and love Allah subhanaw taala people who know Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam in love Rasul Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam
and love to follow his sunnah, knowing at every moment this is
what he would have done, and doing them, doing him lovingly doing it
willingly not as a burden, not as you know, fatigued by it, but
rejuvenated by It energized by obeying Allah subhanaw taala and
following the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
Subhana Allah Houma will become the Kenisha do Allah Allah Hi Luna
