So now why didn't come to ye barakato Bismillah Alhamdulillah
wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah alayhi wa Sahbihi woman
a llama Zina Alma wala to the Peruvian ambassador in Daytona or
habla nama learning karma in the country.
Namaste my Samia alumina Redick, Rick
has always we begin with the praise of Allah subhanaw taala and
sending
the best of Salah and Salam on our beloved prophet muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa salam and his noble family, we ask Allah
subhanaw taala to increase us and useful knowledge which helps us to
come closer to him.
And we ask Allah subhanaw taala to not permit our hearts to deviate
from the right path, after he has guided us, and to open our hearts
to his remembrance and to His words
Sharla continuing in Surah Lokman, which we have covered the last two
times. Last time we finished
with the advice of look man and a salaam to his son. So we finished
it iron number 19. The finale salon talking to his son and
giving him advice that is eternally relevant to all parents.
And we ask Allah subhanaw taala to help us to benefit from that and
to apply it in our lives.
Now starting with iron number 22, the end which is 34.
Allah subhanaw taala now addresses his creation directly as the
creator to the creation
and he calls us to history hate, he makes an argument of why we
should believe in Him, talks to us about his his actions, about his
attributes about his names about His favors upon us, making a very
strong case for us to believe in him and after we believe in him to
submit to Him and worship Him alone. So this call to towhid is
made through the window of Allah subhanaw taala as favors His name
is Nana and then Allah subhanaw taala mentions that the response
of his a bad of his creation is one of two ways the ones who
believe we have gratitude those who reject who are
the Catherine
so
Allah smart Allah says all the ministry on your Raji
alum Tara one Allah has Sahara la Kuma is similar to mafia was a
coup na mo. Ball Hera toma Bella Tina Wamena. In see my New Jersey
Lucena, Hebei lady in Milan, Walla Walla, Kitab, Mooney,
alum Tara, do you throw is not like Tara which is a second this
is all don't all of you, don't you mankind see. Now when Allah
subhanaw taala, we uses the word see it's not really literally
seeing with your eyes, but with your heart. So don't you
comprehend? Don't you understand olam tarot and Allah has Saqqara
Lacan math is similar to martial law, that Allah subhanaw taala has
subjected subjugated for you. Math is similar to everything that's in
the heavens, and everything that's on the earth for you. Lacan that
all of what we see above us of the heavens, everything that it
contains the seven heavens, the sun, the moon, the galaxies,
everything that comes from above the clouds, the rain, the hail,
the snow, everything above us, is for us, law
and everything that's on the earth, on the earth, under the
earth, under the oceans, everything that's on this earth,
and in it is for our use, it's been subjugated to us.
And he said, Well, US Baba alaykum namah who vibratome About Us Baba
means he has flooded you overwhelmed you and completed
means there is no limit. There is nothing left that he has not given
you have namah namah means something that's given to you that
you did not earn, you didn't do anything for it. Yet Allah gave it
to you. So that makes it that much more manifestation of His grace
and it's purely out of His mercy that she gave you and therefore
that
Not so much more reason, to be a shocker to have gratitude that
Allah has given me all of these things. I didn't do anything.
Which includes all the things that we have, the air that we breathe,
the food that we eat the parents, we didn't do anything to have our
parents, the families that we have the health that we have all of
those things Allah has given. And these are infinite. We can't even
count them. But in the interest of time, just to to remind us Aleikum
namah Vahid Alton, we're about you know, things that are obvious
things that are obvious, worldly things that you use that you are
pleased with.
The beauty you see around the rain that comes to you,
the food that you eat, the fruits that you you enjoy, the family
that you look at, and you feel pleasure, all of those, your
health, all of those are vital, these are apparent what but you
know, things that you don't even know things that are inside
and of those Barton our Eman which is inside Taqwa. hedaya guidance
that Allah has given you.
Allah has given you
cognition, the ability to think to reason, and so on so forth. The
genetics, we don't see them that Allah has put into us the wisdom
that he gives us. It's important to remember since this is a Surah,
about wisdom, that Allah subhanaw taala is reminding us that, and
this should be an exercise for us, especially youngsters, and not so
young. To sometimes just sit and think about Allah has now his
blessings that He has given us. I didn't earn it.
So Allah subhanaw taala after reminding us, he says, Will Mina
NASS, and among men mankind, are my Yuja Luffy lie betray those who
argue those who are aggressive and arguing and debating about Allah
Fila, about who Allah is like, what Allah has not this and Allah
doesn't exist and if he does, there is this and how is this
talking about Allah be lady, they have no knowledge to talk about.
No knowledge.
Wala Houda they have no guidance, wala Kitab on money, and they have
no book of guidance, these people who are arguing
about Allah. And we hear this from our many so called educated
secularists who will debate about Allah, they have never read the
book of Allah, they have no clue, yet they will argue. So Allah
subhanaw taala is telling us
not to know Allah, therefore you take the opposite of this position
to know Allah you need to have L Allah is known by knowledge, you
need to have
further guidance and guidance is
to know where to go and to walk that path.
And
Kitab O'Neill and a book that gives light which is the Quran, in
other words, Allah subhanaw taala is attributing all of these three
to the Quran, that the Quran is a book of light that gives God it
gives guidance, and it is full of knowledge of Allah subhanaw taala
of the hereafter. So, Allah subhanaw taala is telling us just
for those who have just come in this ayah he says, do all people
don't you see, don't you experience Don't you know that
Allah has subjected to you everything in the heavens,
everything on the earth for your purpose stars, moons, clouds,
rains, whatever everything on the earth, and has completed his
blessings He has given you what you did not earn of his blessings.
And these are apparent those you know, those that are physical and
those that are hidden. And then he says and among mankind is he who
disputes Judah, Judah generally has a negative connotation.
Somebody who just likes to argue and argues aggressively Fila about
Allah, without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening book.
So
Alhamdulillah Allah Subhan Allah has given us the Quran which is a
book of knowledge of guidance and light, and therefore we look to it
and we follow it, because that is the clear guidance. And we'll
compare that to those who will debate academically with clever
arguments. And sometimes at social gatherings. They will bring up
things just to make things Oh, where is this
From it whereas and this one doesn't this mean this and they
have no idea and just for the sake of entertainment,
so we need to know that.
Then Allah subhanaw taala says about these people who are arguing
against him, his signs will either Kilala Hamid Tabea uma Anzahl
Allahu CalU, Bella Nikita Bill ma generally
our Locanda shape on the yoga room inner other beside
where either appeal Allah humanity said to these people, it about
mountains Allah Allah, it Tibba follow what Allah has revealed.
Interestingly, Allah subhanaw taala here doesn't say I'm in no
man's Allah, I believe. We believe in saying it follow it means
action is required. You're supposed to change your life.
Your lifestyle needs to change we can come in compliance with what
Allah has revealed. And Allah subhanaw taala here because again,
what can period is being addressed directly to the Quraysh. Man's
Allah Allah? Because what were they saying? That he sallallahu
alayhi salam has invented Allah saying know what Allah has
revealed? Follow that. And when this is set to them, they give a
standard answer which was given then which was given at the time
of the round, which is given today, what do they say? Kalu?
They say, Well, no, no, no, not at all. Now we're just gonna lay and
we will follow what we found our fathers and grandfathers and
forefathers doing, we are going to stick to that. And that's what
happens all the time. All throughout history, that's been
the argument, that we can abandon the ways of the traditions of our
parents, almost one Telesis, our Locanda shaytan, or your own home
in order to say, even though their fathers grandfathers took the path
to Johanna,
because shaytan invited them to this, this, they took that path,
and you still want to follow them just because that's the tradition.
So here and this is
to show that we have received
this Quran that was sent as a Tenzin,
we acknowledge it by et la, by following it, not just by reading
it or knowing it or keeping it on the top shelf, it is required,
action is required to make those corrective changes in our life.
Just think of the journey, if the pilot is off by one degree or a
fraction of a degree when he leaves New York, by the time you
cross the Atlantic, instead of London, you may be in Stockholm,
just one degree. So those corrections need to be made. And
we do that now our cars make the correction, you can six inches
closer to the sideline, corrects it, I wish we had that kind of
correction in our lives, that anytime we thought of this thing
we will be corrected.
And Allah subhanaw taala has corrected some people who have
reached that state, so that they are always on that. So
the translation and when it is said to them follow that which
Allah subhanaw taala has sent down. They say no, we shall follow
that which we found our fathers following what they do so even if
shaytan invites them to the torment of the Fire.
So one of the biggest obstacles that we have in following the
Quran is what
the fear of what will my family say that's what comes first.
Right? looking strange, for example.
average Muslim family, one person grows a beard, or one sister puts
on a hijab at the next party, they will say, What happened to you,
you became a fundamentalist, you became this you became that?
What's wrong? That's the first thing and that's from our own
families.
Illa Mashallah. So that's where the first thing what would my
friends say? You know, you've left tufts, you've gone this. What
about your traditions? You know, this has been our culture and
traditions all of our lives. Why are you changing? So this blind
following of our predecessors of our culture is one of the greatest
obstacles that we have, that we are used to a certain way, which
has become our normal, and we are afraid of deviating from that so
called normality.
And some of them actually take pride in what their ancestors
were. And that was the case of the Pareto. We were destined we were
this and we were leaders, but what kind of leaders so here
they have left behind a legacy
which leads to Jenner.
The grandfathers and the Father is left behind a legacy for their
children that will take the children to Jannah as opposed to
what we just covered in the last
hamdulillah the kids mashallah cute. But when Allah's Kalam is
being talked about it is lack of adapt to be deviated by anything
else. Humble, may Allah bless them and make them strong in the deep.
Look monoliths salaam left behind a legacy, which we learned the
last time that would take his child to Jannah. If you follow
these people, these people leave behind a legacy that takes their
progeny into Gen. Look at the comparison of the two.
And then Allah subhanaw taala says that this is the path that IBLEES
has shown them and glorified it. And then Allah subhanaw taala
talks about what is the end of this, he says, Allah either this
sadly, through a flaming punishment. And just remember that
Allah subhanaw taala doesn't like to punish his a bad, this is only
out of his justice and actually out of his Rama, because even
there, he gives them the minimum punishment. He doesn't give them
the maximum. If you've done something good, even though you're
a catheter, your punishment in Jahannam is diminished. And we
have an example that Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam gave us of
who, if you remember
the person who was closest to Islam but didn't accept it.
His beloved uncle Abu Talib, who helped the cause of Islam help
support us just did not out of did not take it and Rasul Allah
salAllahu Alaihe Salam said that his punishment in Jahannam will be
the least of those people in China
proportionate to that out of Allah's Rama for what he did. And
then he describes what that punishment is and you don't want
to know about that. It's a sandals of fire which is going to make the
brain boy that's the list. So just remember the favorites of Allah
subhanaw taala look at these two responses and the next to it.
Let's talk about these two responses.
But there is one group of people Allah subhanaw taala says we're
making you slim wedging her who Illa who whoever is known for this
Thumbsucker belong within Woodcock. Why Allahu Akbar to
one main you slim wedge and the one who submits his face to Allah.
What is the mean? What does it mean submits his face to Allah?
It turns to Allah follows the religion of Allah subhanaw taala
accepts the topic, worships Allah alone, with sincere faith in His
Lordship in his Rubia that Allah is the only Lord that He is the
only one worthy of worship without any partners, understanding
knowing His names and attributes and submitting to His
commandments, and staying away from his prohibitions, following
the laws of the shadow, not Allah smart Allah has ordained for us.
So this is the external world who will Mycenae and he is a Marcin,
what is a mortal sin, a person who consistently does excellent in
everything. Everything he does to excellence, what level of
excellence as if he sees Allah in front of him when he's doing it.
And since he doesn't, that Allah is Seeing, whatever he does,
whether it's an act of worship, whether it's you know, a dealing a
business dealing, whether it's parenting, whether anything else
with axon who's moisten
then that person Allah small fucka distance circa below what the
truth was, that this person has grasped a firm handhold what is
that handle? If you could imagine that Allah is holding your hand?
That means Allah's promise for you that he will save you from
hellfire is guaranteed. So person who does this has guaranteed
himself has anchored himself to be saved.
Well, Allah Allahu Akbar, to OMO and to Allah subhanaw taala every
affair and his decision returns to a mosque.
So brief translation and whosoever submits his face himself to Allah,
while he is a Muslim consistently excellent and doing good, performs
good deeds totally for Allah sake without any show, or to gain
praise or fame and does them in accordance with the Sunnah of
Allah's Messenger SallAllahu wasallam then he has grasped the
most trustworthy handhold
which is the
UN Allah subhanaw taala accept some somebody Lai La La La it's a
covenant that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam said that
that person was accepted, Lai La La La with his heart. Allah has
obligation for him is not to put him in January. He's obliged not
to save him from that. And to Allah is the return and the end of
all affairs and matters. Now the opposite that that one was
for my use slim was the one who submits his face. Now comes what
the opposite woman Kapha phala Yes, Zoom kokufu Elayna margerum
Fernanda Bilham, Bina Emmylou in Allah Halima with that pseudo, the
opposite Allah SWOT analysis, the one Guevara who disbelieves, who
denies the favours of Allah who denies Allah subhanaw taala.
One who's rejecting Allah subhanaw taala was very painful for a surah
masala niacin because Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam is Ramadan
al Amin wants to save everyone. And he's throwing a lifejacket to
somebody and that person wants to drown in one grab it. So what was
it doing to his heart? It was giving him lots of constriction
and grief. So Allah subhanaw taala sang for like zoom calcofluor Who
don't let their cover grieve you.
This is a choice they are making free choice. I know you want to
save them. But don't let that grieve you. Elena Mara, Gianna to
us, they will not return. Leave it to me.
For no not beyond demand, then we will certainly tell them in great
detail what they used to do.
What they said what they did,
in Allah, Allah moon without sudo Indeed, Allah subhanaw taala knows
what is hidden in the chests of people.
So
and whoever disbelieved, let not his disbelief review on Hamas,
Allah, Allah is Allah to us is their return and we shall inform
them in details what they did, what they used to do, and the
consequences of their actions. Verily, Allah is the Owner of what
is hidden in the chests of men
and elsewhere, the same has been repeated for example, in surah
Taha the same emotion of Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam
Allah subhanaw taala says ba man's analytical Quran analytische CA We
have not revealed the Quran to cause you distress in in
Surah calf we read Fulani like a baboon of Sakalava him Ilam
Eukanuba that hadith Asafa that Prophet don't let that rejection
make you kill yourself over it okay?
They don't believe Ilam human we have that hadith suffer they don't
believe in this Quran
in the next
IR
no matter whom colleague and someone not Toro who in other min
Valley yield.
So this is
for the people who are mancha Farah, those who rejected
those who rejected the revelation the message Allah subhanaw taala
is telling the prophets Allah Allah Allah first of all, don't
let them grieve you don't be upset about it. But what is it? What is
Allah subhanaw taala is going to do with them? How is he going to
deal with them? No matter no matter Hello colleagues, we are
going to let them enjoy Colleen further.
We will open the doors of enjoyment in this dunya no matter
how long they live, it is still Colleen it's brief compared to the
infinite
sum not per room, and then we will force them in Florida when volleys
to a never ending punishment. And in other words, the end is there.
If it looks like if you see those people who are doing bad things
were disbelieving, doing all kinds of injustice is to do injustice to
people, especially to believers and you say nothing is happening.
Just remember this idea, no matter whom Colleen and Allah said we
will let them enjoy let them have power. Let them have *,
let them have wealth, let them for a little bit. And then we will for
the moment those eyes closed forced them into Jahannam have
been volleyed.
So the translation we let them enjoy for a little while. Then in
the end we shall forceful
You drive them to enter a great enduring and harsh punishment.
Then Allah subhanaw taala
gives you another sin because
the kuffaar the coloration Maccha believe that ALLAH existed, except
they had partners. So Allah subhanaw taala says here
will add insult to human halacha Samoa to will other layer Kowloon
Allah. Khalil hamdulillah Bulak Farhan Lai animal,
saying, Oh Prophet sallallahu listen, if you ask them, these
disbelievers who created the heavens manakala customer word a
lot, who created the heavens and the earth? They're not going to
claim that we did. Layer Poulan Allah they will certainly say
Allah.
So here a case evidence or proof is established for the day of
judgment that you knew that Allah created all of this, that Allah
gave you all of this. And yet, when it came time for you to
respond with your worship, you took partners with Allah subhanaw
taala.
Coil hamdulillah is saying say Alhamdulillah
acknowledge Allah and thank him for all of this ban, but no AXA
Rohan the majority of them lie Alamo they do not know either you
do not know elsewhere in the Quran said late afternoon. In other
words, they don't have a call to process that information properly.
What should be the result when I know that Allah is the Creator,
and the system and the provider? Of of everything?
When Allah subhanaw taala says the Lahemaa his summer well it will
out in Milan well, honey will Hamid Lilla to Allah belongs math
is everything that you know and don't know in the heavens and in
the earth, belongs to Allah.
Lila, the way it's put it means it belongs to him. Nobody gave it to
him.
It just belongs it was his because he created it.
In Allah. Indeed Allah who are he is a lot of money. Al Hamid Avani
is the name of Allah which means he is self sufficient. He has no
needs.
So there is nobody to fulfill his need. And you can be the
wealthiest person here you will have need. You may have need for a
servant you may have need for food you may have need for something.
But Allah is beyond need his self sufficient. He is a gunny and Al
Hamid one who is praiseworthy, who's praised whether you praise
him or not. Before he created anything, he was Al Hamid worthy
of praise. So Allah smart Allah saying that if you believe in Him,
you're not doing Allah any favor. If you do harm to him, you are not
doing any favor to Allah subhanaw taala Hamed already belongs to
him. If you participate in that hump, it will be for your benefit.
You will get the rewards for it. Allah is not made any greater
Allah is not in need of any of his Creech. As it says if all of
mankind all of Gen Con became as evil and disobedient as the worst
of you, it would not diminish Allah Subhana Allah in His
greatness in his prison anyway and the vice versa.
So, since Allah is free of all needs, and all wants self
sufficient,
we should also know that frequently we as Muslims, we are
Omar of Hamed of gratitude, we still do not thank him enough,
because there is so much that we take for granted.
Simple things, we wake up we take it for granted. I was going to
wake up anyway. We are breathing all day. I don't know how many
breaths you take about 14 and a minute multiplied by 60 multiplied
by 6024. We take it for granted that we will have air to breathe
it will be fresh enough to breed since we are living here in the
northeast and America and not in in New Delhi and will have the 20%
Oxygen rather than 20% carbon dioxide. We assume all of that
that my joints will move. You know everything we assume we take for
granted and therefore we do not praise Allah subhanaw taala we
don't do shocker to him as he deserves. Whereas we are an Omar
hunt. Our book starts with Alhamdulillah so we should be ever
grateful. And I'm grateful to
Dr. Talal who's not here today because he reminded us of that
with a little thing he wrote that he about the weather here.
thought that tea and the sun was sitting in the car. And they
initially said, Why is it so hot and then they immediately
remembered and they turned it into a hammer from hamdulillah isn't
our Jana. Okay? So that's how we have to think we have to change
that mindset.
Now comes a very interesting imagery and is where Allah
subhanaw taala says, well lo unima Fill out the Min shujaa written a
poem. Well, Rue your dog will mean by the hints about how to abhor
him. Man after that Kalamata Allah in Mala azizan Allah smart Allah
says, And if all the trees every tree on the earth was made into
pens,
you know, pencils are made of wood. But in the old days, pens
were also made of wood, you know, they weren't these kinds of pens,
it was a thin wood that you cut and you cut the tip of it. We've
written it when we were young, and you had an inkwell, and you dipped
it and wrote, so, Allah subhanaw taala saying, think of all the
trees now if somebody could count, can you count all the trees in the
world? Can you count all the trees in your garden?
In the world in the Amazon, and everywhere else ever, all of those
and you converted each tree tree into pens, how many pens would
come out of each tree? Depends on this week.
Literally 1000s millions out of each multiplied not all of that
became pens that you could use and write with.
And then
well borrow and the nd the oceans the seas, your Moodle member, the
Sultan above and the oceans. If you want to take seven oceans, you
add the same amount of ink to you replenish them. Imagine the amount
of ink you would have Allah subhanaw taala says none of it
that color. Kalamata Allah that Allah has words would not get
exhausted, the pens would break, the oceans would dry. Allah's
words would not be exhausted in Allah azizan Hakeem, indeed, Allah
is Mighty and wise.
What does it mean? His words would not
tell him. This includes all of the Revelation, the guidance, the
wisdom behind each of those, this includes the commands by which of
Quran that Allah creates things, all by his commands, his words by
which systems are running, all of his actions, all of the guidance
that has come, all of the knowledge that exists, all of the
wisdom that exists, the messages that came, the words that describe
his attributes that pray, glorify him, his traits, his, his, his
names, his praises, all of that are infinite. Even if you could
count the trees and the pens you created from it, because Allah is
infinite, and everything else, the oceans and the trees are finite.
So this is an imaginary Allah subhanaw taala creates to tell us
what in Allahu Aziz Aziz the mighty, he has might, and he is
hacking the wise.
Some have said, why is it mentioned in this order? Why Aziz?
And then hacking.
There's all sorts of his wisdom that you mentioned, Aziz first,
because Aziz, tells you about his might. And this message is coming
to the people who are
questioning because of their arrogance that if you realize his
might and His power, maybe it will stop you from your own tyranny of
your knifes and your arrogance. So Allah is first reminding you, who
are you dealing with Allah Aziz.
And then he's an Hakeem in the way he does things.
And when the last one to law talks about his punishments,
sometimes
we as Muslims, ignore that, because we said will lead our
lives that way we do Alaska for over. Allies law for over people
who are disobeying, who don't pray, who drink who do other
things, if you remind them sometimes, you know, Jahannam is
for the caffeine, Allah for rahang for us, but Allah subhanaw taala
tells us that there is mite and there is wisdom there is Rama and
forgiveness and there is punishment. Allah subhanaw taala
says elsewhere in the Quran to the prophets Allah Allah allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Nubira EBRD
inform my servants what annoyed me another photo Rahim that I am
indeed
most forgiving, Most Merciful. And Adavi who Allah double Lin, and my
punishment is a very painful punishment. So there is a balance.
So person should live between that hopeful of Allah's Rama and
forgiveness, but afraid to do things that might bring his
punishment. And
then for those people, as you know, the kuffaar had the biggest
problem with the resurrection as they would come with bonds and
say, How can these bonds be brought back to life?
And
bones of billions of people who would know whose bones were washed
and how can this happen, that sort of thing. So in the next ayah,
Allah subhanaw taala, says Muhammad pacu wala backstock Illa,
lucky enough sim Wahida in Mullah has some young bossy
your creation and your resurrection. Whether you are
millions or billions is to Allah, like the creation and resurrection
of one
whether it's one or 100 billion, it's speed the same is with one
command of Allah. So nothing is difficult for him.
And if you remember Allah subhanaw taala gave us an example in Surah
Baqarah of one of the Gambia of the Bani Israel who comes to
people
they've got the wrong thing they will have to watch just tell them
they will have to watch the recording. I'm not going to
interrupt.
So not one or two others saying mahalo calm your creation. And
your resurrection is as easy as it was for one. And as I was saying
that was there.
A lesson Salam came to Jerusalem and found it completely
demolished. No two bricks, no two stones were together. And he
looked at the destruction he said, and how will Allah bring this back
to life? And you know what happened? Allah subhanaw taala put
Him to
death,
and then raised him up. And what happened to him? He looked around.
And the food that he had was still sitting fresh than the last one.
The law said, look at your food. He said, This is fresh. How long
were you sleeping?
A day a part of the day. You said look at your donkey. And the
donkey had become disintegrated bones. Allah Swan tells me at a
time for 100 years you were dead. And Allah brought him back to
life. And then Allah subhanaw taala brought those bones of the
donkey back to life so you could continue on this journey. So Allah
subhanaw taala is like easy as that was, everyone else is easy.
So nobody should doubt the ability. How do you doubt when
Allah created all of us from nothing, that he can recreate us
from from a part of us? And as the Hadith tells us from that smallest
part of our tailbone, Allah will resurrect us wherever that is. And
then Allah Subhana Allah says in Allah Samuel mercy that indeed,
Allah hears, and he sees now what's he talking about? Why is
this here? These two attributes.
Allah sees how you are behaving and he hears what you say that
who's going to bring this back to you.
So he's Allah subhanaw. Taala is reminding him that you are saying
all of this, just remember one day you will be brought, it's as easy
as that, just like that. And Allah has already heard and seen, heard
what you said and seen how you behaved in this dunya.
So do not deny that.
Then the next idea, and I'm Tara and Allah eulogy, Laila in a
hurry, we usually do not have a lady who was suffering from
several Pamela Kulu injury agenda mucem One hola Habima. Tom, I
don't know Kobe.
Have you not seen now this talking to or sort of Rasul Allah
listeners single Have you not seen? Do you not know that Allah
subhanaw taala inserts the night into the day and the day into the
night? What does that mean? The scholar said that Allah subhanaw
taala will sometimes as the days get longer in the summertime, he
lets the day encroach on the hours of the night so the days and and
the wintertime he allows the night to encroach on the hours of the
day. So the nights get longer. So one is these are signs and also
the alternation of the night and day these are signs and the fact
that there is
system that's running
it's not you're not doing anything so okay let's make the days longer
in winter let's make the, you know, Knights longer in summer
it's not enough time between Asia and Fajr know this Allah system
that's running and then he tells us
was Sahara shumsa will come and he has subjected subjugated the sun
in the moon
cooling Yejide Illa Arjuna Musa that they will travel your jewelry
travel or they will swim in a
predestined or predetermined circuit or for a period of period
of time, both where they travel and how they travel. As you know,
the Earth travels were
around the sun does the sun travel is it fixed?
Sun is fixed he says how many agree with no, the sun is also
moving, whole galaxies are moving Sun is moving within the galaxy
and the galaxies are moving in comparison to each other because
the universe is expanding. So he's telling you the sun is moving like
it's supposed to the earth is moving around the sun, the moon is
moving all of those have been subjected to you because that's
the rotation of the Earth and the sun coming and going gives you
certain duties daily duties the moon gives you certain duties what
are the duties that are assigned by the movement of the Sun
solar five times a day okay that's determined by that what else is
determined by the Sun Moon
Sun moment, Sun movement day daily mode. When you open when you start
your fast when you end your fast right. daily duties are determined
by monthly duties by the moon what are those monthly duties
what you just did Hajj, and Ramadan and Eid N zakat, because
it's due every year on a certain time. So, these are all running to
give you a timeframe in which they set for you. The each day of the
sun the sun comes and goes there are five obligations or knew that
you will be questioned on every time
the moon goes through Ramadan there are duties that you will be
asked about
Hajj and so on since so, Allah subhanaw taala has made all of
this
and he has the movement of the sun that day he is he said he has made
it for you to travel and to go out and seek Halal risk and so on so
forth. So Allah subhanaw taala says he has
made this Illa agilan Musa something that is predetermined in
its circuit and also in its time because there is a time where the
sun and the moon will cease to exist.
Okay.
Now the
atoms 1400 years ago, they thought that what we see in the heavens,
the stars, the sun, they are eternal.
But what does astrophysics tell you now,
everything
has a time where it implodes, whether it becomes a black hole or
something. They all have time limits. So Allah subhanaw taala is
revealing cutting edge
science 1400 years ago that even the sun will meet its end the moon
will meet its end the earth will meet everything is here is finite.
It's not infinite. It just seems because it's been here for 3.8
billion years that seems like an eternity but it is not everything
comes to an end Illa wotja the countenance of loss
why all of this valleca The anomala who will have Annamma
iodonium In dunya Hill bouton and Allahu Allah, Allah you will cubby
Now in this ayah each one will end with two attributes of Allah that
are relevant to what is mentioned. So Allah subhanaw taala is
reminding us of all of this that he has subjected in the heavens
and the earth the sun and the moon Dalek obey Allah Allah who will
work. This is all evidence because Allah is the truth is promises the
truth. The piano is the truth. Jana is the truth. The Hellfire is
the truth. Well, Annamaya, the owner, Amin dunya, Higginbottom.
And who they call besides Allah is Barton is defective. It's false.
It's false.
Everything else other than Allah is falsehood. Well, and Allahu
Allah Ali, will cubby and Allah is above higher than everything else
means, no matter what insults they're hurled at him by saying he
has taken a son or he has partners. Whatever garbage they
talk about Allah Subhan Allah, Allah is Allah Allah He is not
affected because he is high above everything else. And he is Al
Kabir, the truly great
and the Hodgkin bottle comes frequently in the Quran, that
there is a truth and there is falsehood and they stand clearly
distinct from each other, and that we have a choice to choose either.
And therefore we should make our choices carefully analyzing
everything and seeing where lies the truth.
Now comes another imaginary
alum Sara Enel Fulco
alum Tara Enel full Katagiri Phil Barry banana Delilah Uriah Coleman
Yachty in Nephi Dalek Tilly Coolio equals suberin Shaku
Allah subhanaw taala says have you not seen the ships sailing through
the waters of the oceans?
The surgery we now Rahmatullah by this is also namah you didn't
deserve it, but he allows it to float
you know, what is the only thing that Allah has made, which
in its solid form, floats
when water becomes ice, it floats on the water. But it's the same
thing yet it floats.
And Allah has made laws of surface tension in which allow things like
which are much heavier such as ships. Um, doesn't make any sense
that something that weighs 100,000 tons
floats on the water
doesn't sink in this is from the namah of Allah.
There isn't at that time ships used to be out of wood. So you
could argue well, wood floats on water, but now they're made of
steel and metal. Okay.
So this is the fact you don't say oh, what a good boat or ship these
people should build his build. The reason it's floating is by the
blessing of Allah subhanaw taala because the one who bragged about
his ship, who said Not even God can sink it didn't make it to the
other than first trip. Okay.
Yes. So Allah subhanaw taala saying the fact that you see them
floating now we have these huge massive cruise ships 1000s of
people on it, you know, 20 stories high they're like
floating on.
Why does he do that? So, he says, So, that you he can show you his
signs one of the signs is look how it is floating. Then he takes you
through the oceans to show you land, subjects you to the waves,
he subjects you to the storms, he subjects you to all kinds of
things. So you see his signs.
In Nephi Dalek, Elia tilicho lists a bunch of code. And in this there
is
there is there are Signs for those who see and who are subpar means
who have consistent
forbearance and patience to deal with the, the challenges and
vicissitudes of life as well as the blessings because Ayat of
Allah subhanaw taala the signs you see can be something that you love
and enjoy and they can be signs which you don't like because they
are hardship for you. So your response should be should be one
of summer end of chakra so Allah subhanaw taala is calling sambar
means who is consistently patient who has that forbearance no matter
what happens and because of that patience is Shaka is always
thankful to Allah smile, even when a hardship See ya allah thank you
because it could have been more difficult. Okay
now, continuing on this now we're gonna, we're gonna ship that is on
the ocean. And if you see no matter how big the ship is, if you
put it in the middle of the ocean, Atlantic or Pacific, how big is
it? If you look from a satellite, less than a dot
and the waves are there,
and sometimes the waves pick up and that big ship starts to rock.
So I must one tell us giving you this
imagery if you ever saw a movie back from the fifth
Is the Mutiny on the Bounty. You will remember the big storm that
came. And we have many ships. And we have you know,
it was either Russia home Majan because doolally and when they are
covered by the waves in other words, a storm is coming on that
ship. Now you're seeing the waves pick up the wind pick up now the
waves are starting to come on top of the ship and you're seeing now
you're feeling a little bit tense. And then it comes more and more
and higher and higher, and the water's coming and covering you
like a shape. Now what happens because Dolan like a shade over
you like a cloud has come over you from just the waves. In other
words, now you're afraid you're going to drown This is the end
that I will allow him Wallace Cena Ledeen now this person who denied
Allah calls appeals to Allah makes dua to Allah. Sincerely he forgets
about everyone else only to Allah meclizine Allahu Deen This is his
his way of life now is sincerely to you, Allah save me from this.
Ya Allah save me from this fella Mana giome. And then when we save
them, Ill borrower and we take them to a solid land, now they
have landed, what should be their attitude that Allah saved them,
they have been through a calamity. And this is just an image. Just
imagine we go through challenges like that if life and suppose a
child became horribly sick, we didn't know they were going to
live or we became like that or something else happened? We go
through those life changing or near death experiences, does it
change our life?
If we recover from that, it's like Allah has brought us from the
storm and put us on solid ground.
For men who mocked acid from them, or some who are mocked acid. Now
this is an interesting word mocked acid comes from the side, which
means balanced.
So what does this mean?
They have many different I've found many different explanations
of this, add up to the same. Mokhtar said means someone who
that some of them you can take this in a positive way because
elsewhere, Mokhtar said in the Quran has been used in a positive
way mean. In other words, this person becomes balanced between
shook believing in Allah and doing stubborn sugar.
The other is that he is balanced between belief and disbelief, he
should have come to full belief but he is now in the middle.
He's hedging his bets.
He shouldn't have come all the way to believe but he's still half
here, half there, one leg on this side, one leg on this side
straddling the the fulcrum
and then some have said that there is like this, like Mujahid said
that there is another I have the similar thing in which Allah
subhanaw taala say that they return to shake that you can take
it back, some of them will return to ship. So in other words, if a
near life, a near death experience does not change somebody, what
else is going to change that.
So what we learn is when we have a near escape from something and
you're escaping something, you're crossing a
red or green light, and somebody runs the red light and it just
passes you by without hitting you.
Or they even they hit you like happened to my daughter and no
reason they hit you but you have saved
that same life that has been saved the chance and what should that do
that should change your life going forward? And if you don't then you
among some of those who even that did not change if that does not
change because Allah Samantha's throws challenges our way so that
we may change. If that doesn't change then nothing well.
Well now Yeah, Johanna do Biya Tina Illa Koolhaas Katara and
CAFO. And here Allah Swanton and these trials is describing the
qualities of the people last time suberin Shaka the good qualities
here. Qatar Qatar is like a dark person who is a traitor
backstabber who is the worst of the worst treacherous Carrefour.
Instead of Shaco he is the opposite. He denies all of that.
Allah subhanaw taala says Nobody argues about the eyes of Allah
subhanaw taala denies his signs except the the most deceitful
treacherous traitor, and who is an ungrateful disbeliever
now we come to the last two Iots of the of the surah
here now Allah subhanaw taala addresses all of mankind directly
says yeah, uh your nurse hooked up over up back home work show Yeoman
UGC while they don't come what are the while I'm I will do then who
are Jasmine
I'm Lydia he che in Nevada law Hey, fella taco Ron Coleman here
to dunya whether you're one biller Hill guru, or mankind, it pura
back home have fear of your Lord He doesn't say of Allah He doesn't
say of Rabbul aalameen makes it personal your lord in other words,
the one who sustained you the one who provides for you have fear of
him.
Walk show and have fear of a day Yeoman. Asha is rational fear,
fear that comes from knowledge of awareness of what the consequences
not the emotional fear or suddenly scared of something. Have that
fear full of knowledge and awareness of a de la yet jersey,
Wally dune and wala D on a day where the son
will not no father can be of any benefit to the son. Wala malewane
And no son who are Jasmine Anwar lady, no son will benefit their
father.
Shake up
in the list.
No, and Allah Samantha is a nuance here, Allah Subhana Allah says No
son, he does not say no daughter.
No son will no father will benefit the son and no son will benefit
the Father. Now we've just been through Lachman advice. So all of
that advice that benefit that he left behind would be for his son.
But on that day, the son of Lachman will not benefit Lachman,
and neither will look man benefit his son in the least, not in the
least.
Why is it if that son took the father's advice in this dunya and
acted upon it that would be of benefit for him? But there's no
exchange on that day, nobody will say, Okay, let me help you with
this, or my father, take this off my deed or none of that will
happen. Well, I'll carry your burden. None of that will happen.
Why? Because of the sheer
fear of this day, because we've heard what the day is going to be
like, what is
Lokmanya lesson I'm going to be saying on the Day of Judgment.
Neph see enough. See me meet my, what will his son be saying? Neff?
cenotaphs. What will Ibrahim alayhi salam be saying? Not see
enough see what will Ismail al Hassan be saying his circle enough
see enough see what would Jacoba lay Salam be saying that he is not
going to say where his use of use enough's enough see what would use
the will esalaam Say knifes enough see? What will Maria Mala his
Salam say? knifes enough see what would he say salam said nastiness.
And so you're gonna Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam will say
myoma Almighty Almighty almighty.
Now
there is interesting thing about this son.
Allah has not specified the daughters
are sued Allah salAllahu alayhi wa sallam teaches us
that whoever has three daughters
is patient with them. Give them food, give them clothes provides
for them is beneficial to them. They will be a shield for him.
Canola, Jorge Jabon, Mina Narayan Murthy AMA, they will be a shield
for that person against the Hellfire on the Day of Judgment.
In another incident that happened one time as we know say that Aisha
Radi Allahu Ana, somebody knocked on her door. There was a very poor
woman who came were two girls with her and wanted something and say
the Aisha Radi Allahu Allah had looked and all she found in her
house was one day so she gave it to the woman.
And guess what the woman did? There was only one day she was
hungry. She split it into gave one to one daughter one to the other
and stayed hungry.
When Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam came back. So yeah, the
Aisha narrated the story to Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi salam, and
he said someone live a syndrome, that he who is tested with these
girl children and he is benevolent towards them, they will become a
protection for him against the Hellfire on the devil, narrated by
mammals. So this is a special status that has been given to our
daughters, and therefore we must
value them. And especially, this was at a time when you
daughters who are carried no wait. May Allah Subhana Allah bless us
all with
righteous daughters who will act as our shield on the Day of
Judgment when no son will benefit the father and no father will
benefit the son
in no Adela help, indeed, the Promise of Allah that this is
going to happen is true. Then Allah subhanaw taala is calling us
urgently towards diseases phala tavole Runda common heritage so
don't let the life of this dunya distract deceive you. Don't be
deluded by the life of this dunya Wallah you ever run come biller
Hill rule of the road is shaitan and don't let the deceiver deceive
you. What does the deceiver shaitan do? It beautifies the
dunya even more, even more makes it so attractive that you lose
sight of
permissibility of something just for momentary enjoyment.
So Allah subhanaw taala is warning us here.
Word of Allah the end is HAC. It is true. It is promised. So don't
lose sight of that. Always keep that in front of you don't let the
dunya what are the things that distract you? What are the things
that that make you forget about it?
We know we know theoretically we say
Fiamma is help now to help Jana to have all of this promise about
Allahu Allah. Then what makes you forget?
It's our knifes Hawa our desires or intellectual inclinations, the
dunya the attraction of the dunya and shaitan. Those are the four
things that cause us to become heedless. And Allah subhanaw taala
is calling us
with a sense of urgency. Be prepared for this and the last is
in Mala in the WHO Alamosa where you know Zillow, Nova Alamo Murphy
or ham will matter there enough some mad taxi Bovada Mamata did
enough soon be a ye are the intermode in Allaha halimun Kabhi
Kabhi.
Verily, Allah with him is the L Messiah.
When that salah is the hour, he doesn't say pm because Sam means
the hour which makes it more urgent that the knowledge of when
that end moment is going to come is only with Allah.
What What else is with Allah? Well, Eunice 05 And when the rain
comes down, how much it comes down where it falls at what speed it
falls and for whom it falls, whether it's going to cause
benefit, whether it's going to cause harm is only with Allah no
matter what the weatherman tells you.
They're wrong 50% So it's a 5050 chance.
Well, you're Alamo Murphy or ham and he knows what is in the wounds
and the wounds are all the wounds of every animal, every human being
that Allah knows what is going to lodge there before it lodges there
when it launches there, what it's going to grow to be whether what
it's going to become righteous, unrighteous this that whether it
will go to Turman on what is in the wombs is known to Allah wa
maddrey Enough some and nobody knows madda taxi Bovada what
tomorrow will bring what provision what challenges, what benefit
tomorrow will bring tomorrow also means next hour in the future is
not known to anyone. Allah subhanaw taala says that means is
only known to him. Well matter enough some and no one knows be a
denture mode where you will die.
Okay, so these five things that are mentioned in these, these are
called mafatlal *. The Keys of the unseen lie Allahu Allah, Allah
rasool Allah, Allah Allah listens and nobody knows these except
Allah. Now that doesn't mean that Allah does not revealed some of
that information. For example,
when the piano will come, Allah will tell the angel blow the
trumpet, now he knows that it has come.
What is when the rain comes? Allah subhanaw taala informs the angel
that is gone. What? Who brings around me chi when Allah subhanaw
taala allows us to know through ultrasounds in science, what is in
the womb after a certain period of time, okay, that's knowledge that
Allah has shared with us, okay. So Allah subhanaw taala talks about
these five things, the hour when it comes, how much rain when it
comes, when it will come in will not come? What is in every room is
known to Allah before and after what will be the result
have that and where you are going to die.
So, all of these things and where the provision is going to come
from, and what the challenges are known only to him. So where and
how and when a person dies is only Allah subhanaw taala is domain and
in his knowledge, life and death are in his hands. Yeah, he will
you meet he's the one who gives life and death and his name is
ultimately the one who gives life and meet the one who gives.
So, as we said, these are the five keys of the web and Allah may
share it with his creation at a certain time like he does with the
angels.
So in this surah Allah subhanaw taala has introduced us as a
Helene Aziz al Hakim, a Latif and Hobie Allah Ali Al kabhi Asami on
bossy, Rani al Hamad
and they come in a certain order
and if you reflect on them, they make such a beautiful sense that
this is who my rub is. And when you learn who your rub is,
obviously, you will become so Baran Shaco you will believe you
will bear anything that comes your way knowing it is coming even if
it's difficult, it's coming from Al Hamad. It is coming from my
Rob. So, he is my Rob he is the beginning there was nothing before
him and oh well here's the
end of October two or more every effort comes to an end with Allah
subhanaw taala why Elan lighters and we will return to Him in
alignment nicely Roger
and this is the conclusion of this great Surah
which should bring out in us in the beginning. It starts with
Kitab and Hakeem and inshallah by studying all of this it will give
us enough wisdom because the head of wisdom is to have fear of
Allah.
Okay, so that ties that to Allah subhanaw taala says your show,
have Taqwa of Allah have fear of that day. That is the wisdom that
should have come out of studying these 34 verses. And Allah is on
Hamid He is worthy of all praise and we cannot praise so Rasulullah
Salallahu Salam su la Cisterna and Alec Anta cameras Anita Alana,
who Allah He Mohamed Salah Sinha, the one who prays Allah, the Atma,
the one who prays to Allah more than anyone he says, law of Sefa
and Alec, I am incapable I cannot give you on glorify You and praise
You
as you deserve.
I cannot praise you enough under Kamath, Natal and f6 You are as
you have praised yourself, nobody else can praise you, or know who
you are, or glorify you, as you are other than you.
So Inshallah, we hope that
this surah will teach us some of the essentials of Tawheed. Knowing
our lab, that the surah has given us guidelines on how to have
parenting properly, and has given us the opposite of that through
the the adviser Laquanda listener. And that through all of these the
challenges that we face, every time we have these experiences, it
should it's meant to bring us closer to Allah does not drive us
away from us. If my life is not changing, and I'm going through
all of these, especially people going through hardship, after
hardship, after hardship, is still not coming close to Allah, there
is something fundamentally wrong with them.
Because this is the Mercy of Allah that he's sending all this to pull
you back towards.
So if my life doesn't change, I don't come in full compliance with
Allah not partial compliance, not for Salah as a day.
Not a partial compliance in all the things that he has said.
Then I have worked with
May Allah subhanaw taala help us
to recognize him, to be always grateful to him to glorify him as
he deserves. And may Allah subhanaw taala help us
to work together and with our children to reach that day, when
we will meet Allah subhanaw taala and he is pleased with us that
he's pleased enough to grant us shade under his ashram that day
when there is no other shade. And that Allah subhanaw taala enters
us into paradise with our families and our loved ones and our friends
and our Muslim brothers and sisters, those who are here and
those who are not here and those who have gone before us.
