Allah MathType Masami alumina Liddy Crikey. Aloha marinelle

opener cinema.
We praise and glorify Allah subhanaw taala as he deserves, and
we sent Peace and blessings on the best of his creation, our beloved
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam and his noble family
we ask Allah subhanaw taala to open our hearts to the proper
understanding of his Kalam.
Today we are going to be covering Surah Yusuf
which Allah subhanaw taala has called external causes the best of
narrations, the best of stories,
which means that in the story, there are innumerable lessons and
we don't study Surah use of because it makes a nice story
which has got intrigue and it's got romance and it's got plotting
and all of those things and a happy ending. That's not why we
study Surah Yusuf
mominul Amo Josie
said that from the surah Yousuf
I learned 1000 lessons.
So we are going to tackle surah Yousuf
with
lessons which you will come up with
and after every session and then maybe 1015 sessions, I don't know
how many to cover this, you will compile all those lessons and see
how much we come up with. Inshallah, so, there is a there is
work for everybody this is not a freebie Surah like many people
treated the GM the lesson
each and go you have work to do. So, from each one, you will be
deriving lessons
sometimes their lessons just in a single word, forget about one
idea.
So we will try and derive as many lessons from this external classes
as we can, inshallah melasma it'll open our hearts to that.
I mean,
as most of you know, Surah Yusuf is a maken Surah revealed in the
late McCann period.
Most
people are of the opinion that it was revealed around the 11th year
of prophethood, which would be about two years before the Hijra.
Now it's interesting that the surah was revealed at a time where
Rasul Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam
had just gone through the most challenging periods of his entire
life.
So much so that the 10th year of his prophethood is known as I'm on
the horizon,
the year of sadness of sorrow.
Now, sorrow is a normal human emotion
for people like us and everyone else.
But imagine a person who knows the reality the happy cough everything
who knows Allah subhanaw taala better than anyone else? And he
himself felt sorrow.
That says humanity sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
So why is it called the hammer? Who isn't? Because in this year,
his most beloved companion,
our mother, so you're the Hadith or the Allah Allah
left this dunya for her lord.
Which means that Rasul Allah salAllahu alayhi salam lost
the anchor, the inner support that he had inside his house. And if
you remember right from the beginning of the prophethood, when
Rasul Allah salAllahu Alaihe, Salam encounter, Jibreel Allah
Salam and ekra was revealed. He was very distressed
And He came home, the melanism MeLuna, if you remember, cover me
cover me, and who was it that comforted him and reassured him
our mother,
Khadija of the Allahu anha, the best of women.
So imagine, and they had a wonderful marriage.
during her lifetime, he was only married to one woman
while the other 11 came after
all of her, all of his children, all of his surviving children came
from so you're the Hardanger. And that's also miraculous in a way
that she was 40 years old, when he married her. And she gave him six
children.
Of which the four daughters are the Hola 100 survived,
of all the others, and they were young.
Only one child was born, which is Ibrahim to Maria, no other
children.
And there are lots of other things about her that she sacrificed
everything she had. And she was a powerful woman, and she was a
beautiful woman, and she was from the most noble lineage. And she
was very wise, and she was strong.
So, that was such a great support for us. Well, Allah salAllahu
Alaihe Salam, anytime he was in distress, he would come home, and
he would have that. So he lost that support.
And within like six weeks or so, His external support was also
gone, which is his beloved uncle Abu Talib.
The father of Satan, Halle and Jaffa
are the Elana
who was the leader of the Hashem clan. And because of whose
seniority and recognition the enemies among the Quraysh the
leaders did not attack Rasulullah sallallahu listen directly.
And as we know, he did not accept Islam.
because of whatever reason Allah had decreed, but when they went
for three years they were in the desert when they were boycotted,
the whole they were thrown out of Makkah. Abu Talib was not thrown
out, yet voluntarily. He said, If my nephew is in the desert, I will
go and live with.
So this is who he lost the external support in the community.
Then Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam is persecution increased.
And he decided to go to pious
and those of you who have been fortunate to visit PIF.
It's not just any journey.
First you go through the desert for about 50 miles. Then there are
mountains to climb with the cars have difficulty navigating.
And he went up there
with Zaid when hydrophone.
And there he stayed for 10 days inviting people to Islam and
everyone rejected Him finally, they unleashed the children and
the Rogues with to stone him. And it said for about three miles he
was stoned and he was * Salalah is a lot to the extent
that his sandals were stuck to his feet from the clotted blood. And
then he collapsed in that garden which some of us visited that were
that men at dusk came with grapes.
He had gone through that. And now he's returning to Makkah and he
knows there is no protection there. There is no protection
here.
What was that day of tie of like, as you know, in the medina period,
in the Battle of HUD Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was
injured. Part of his helmet was stuck on his face. His there was a
slash on his normal mouth, one of his tooth
was injured.
And our mother I shot the alarm on her many years later said Yara
Surah allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was there any day that was
more difficult for you than the day of
and right away? He said, Yes. The day of time.
So just imagine all of these things that piled up on Horizon.
So Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam felt sort of as a human being you
In a state of
I don't want to say depression, but he felt emotionally at a low
at an ebb
in need of support, and Rasul Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam was
supported by Allah subhanaw taala, who witnessed all of these things.
And let him go through all of these things by revealing Surah
Yusuf
because in Surah Yusuf, there is so much encouragement
and lessons that it would be emotionally and spiritually
uplifting, to Rasulullah sallallahu Lucilla.
So, in a way, it was a divine gift from Allah subhanaw taala. A
reassurance that no matter how bad things look,
in the end, the truth will prevail, that Allah's help will
always be with the ones he loves, the ones he chooses. And that's
the whole summary of Surah use of the challenges that this young boy
from the age of seven goes through
all kinds of challenges, internal from his own family, his loved
ones, from external, and so on, so forth.
So
there are lots of ingredients lessons to lift the spirit in of
anybody who's in a state of despair and distress. So one
lesson for us is, as human beings, if we are going through
challenging times, and we're feeling down,
we should read through the use of and reflect on his lessons.
To me, Surah, Yusuf
represents a light, all of the Quran is a light, but a light that
shines through the darkness that we encounter from time to time in
our lives. The challenges, and Surah use of is a promise of a new
day,
after the darkest hour of the night comes the dawn. So when
you're going through that, just remember that that night is going
to end
that period of in mid last three years.
It will end and this is a Surah that reminds us that look, anytime
you go through, am I going through as much trial as you So Vanessa
landed?
And therefore why am I complaining? It too shall end.
Because that's the nature of life. In this dimension in this dunya
nothing lasts forever. Good times.
come to an end and bad come to an end.
So
remember that.
Also,
sometimes there's more than one reason for revelation,
some of the Jews from
yesterday, which is later to become Medina, where the Jewish
tribes were the three major tribes there
had heard about this man who claim to be a prophet or a messenger.
And they were talking to the pagan the Quraysh, trying to prove that
he was an imposter. And if you remember the last Surah that we
had covered, which was Surah Kahf. They had presented certain
question ask him about this ask him about the one who went from
east to west asked about the people of the cave asked him about
the room.
And in this on this occasion, they said, Ask him
because he only only a messenger would have an answer to this. Ask
him the story of use of and his brothers. And how is it that the
Bani Israel ended up in Egypt in captivity? Because this half of
that story was unknown to the Arabs, licorice.
They had no libraries, they had no books, they had no Jews living
there, but they could see the history of the Jewish nation and
all of that, okay. So ask him so
in an open public forum, one Qureshi comes and said, Rasul
allah sallallahu sallam. Tell us the story of use of and his
brothers and how they the Bani Israel ended up in Egypt
Dr su allah sallallahu Sallam note the answer is no.
So he said Salah in Islam I will wait for revelation
Allah subhanaw taala revealed Surah Yusuf
and Rasul Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam in that public forum. He
doesn't say that that was in front of the camera or wherever it was.
He is Allah, Allah, Allah Islam recited the entire Surah Yusuf
with all of his detail from the beginning to the end, the first
two verses were revealed later and added to the front,
the whole thing.
And everybody was flabbergasted. First of all the details of the
story number two, the eloquence
of the, of the language.
So the Jewish people who were there who instigated this heard
this and they quietly slipped out and left Makkah, even then they
did not accept Islam.
And some of the professor Ron have said that around the time because
the persecution was so bad, some of the companions of Rasulullah
Salallahu Alaihe. Salam had also told them, you're Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam tell us stories of previous prophets who had gone
through suffering. So that it would help us to it would
encourage us and strengthen us. So some have said that that is
another reason why this in Allah's wisdom was revealed at that time.
Now, this surah is unique in many different ways. One is that there
are many stories in the Quran. And there are short stories when I add
two or three i and they are scattered throughout the Musa al
salaam story appears it's in five or six different places. Ibrahim
alayhi salam stories comes different other Malayalam story
they are scattered all over.
The story of use of Elisa occurs only once in the Quran.
And it's not one or two is page after page there is no other story
that is as long and as detailed and as chronologically arranged as
Surah use of this narrative in the entire Quran.
And the whole story is collected here and is mentioned only in one
place.
And therefore it is the single longest chapter surah with only
one storyline.
And one thing
in the entire Quran there are only two other mentions of Surah use
venison passing
nothing about the story Allah subhanaw taala said while Khadija
A common use of men Kabelo built by Jeanette the man of the
believer of Musa alayhis salam and he's making a case for them not to
kill Musa salamis, he's telling Pharaoh, that you don't remember
that that use of came before with the signs. Centuries before
between Musa alayhis salam and use of Allah Salam, there are hundreds
1000s of years. Okay. So that's one mention. And there is another
mention in Surah Anam, just among the prophets, that
women do rio de Davao Solomon valuable use of a Musa Harun
Psychedelica nutzen Mycenean that just his name was mentioned,
that's the only mention yet in the whole Surah that's all about him.
Story is important.
If you want to catch anybody's attention, and you keep them from
sleeping, tell them a story.
Children want to hear stories before they go to bed. adults want
to if you want people to listen to your husband, Jimmy start with the
story. You'll catch their attention, because that's human
nature, they want to be able to relate to something. So Allah
subhanaw taala tells the stories.
And
this story, as we know is also mentioned in the previous
scriptures in Genesis in the Old Testament,
there is some differences and we're in the end of once we finish
it we can go over that I don't want to go into that.
There are many different trials that come in the story. What are
the different trials, let's just quickly go through some of those
that they come
if you turn off
too many of them are going to view
fit and of jealousy, the fitness beauty of being beautiful is the
fitna itself what else sexual desires. What else
Thank you acquisition.
That's the family dynamics Genesis Genesis and all of those
adversities being put in prison.
Right
Right, slavery being sold, being thrown in a well, you know, almost
attempt or being killed wanting the original planning to kill him.
So there are many, many situations. And this the fit and
off separation of a loved one
named imagine someone who is very beloved, and they disappear. And
there is no closure on the case. You know, here we talk about
closures, you know, when somebody, they're not missing children,
and two years, five years, 10 years go by and sometimes the
parents say, You know what?
I wished I could have confirmation that once had died, then it could
put a closure.
But there's no closure in this case, for 40 Some years
separation.
Someone has reflected
and this is just a reflection.
The Dao De La salaam, loved
jacobellis, salaam loved use of an SLR so much
that Allah subhanaw taala
decided that I will separate you
because maybe that love was almost at the level which it wouldn't be
because he was a prophet, competing with his love for Allah
subhanaw taala. So he said, separate
this there's somebody's reflection.
Also, if you look from the spiritual perspective from this,
the metaphysical,
the separation of the human soul from the Divine.
When we get separated from our origin, Allah subhanaw taala in
our dunya
we will suffer
like use of Allah Salam and jacobellis Salam suffered from the
separation of each other.
Because this is the story of the lover and the beloved. And we're
not talking about Zulekha and use of we're talking about Jacobina,
Salaam and use of aneurysmal.
Continuing a little bit more with the introduction to the surah
just because there are some youngsters also we should know
about the lineage of use of a listener. Does everybody know the
lineage of use of an SNL
that it all starts the story starts with who?
Our Father, Ibrahim alayhis salam, Helene Allah.
The father of all the monotheistic faiths fits.
Ibrahim alayhi salam had no children till the age of
almost 100 years old, according to biblical tradition, and biblical
tradition, we can Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam permitted us to
narrate from the Israeli ads, but he says don't deny them, but don't
believe them as being absolute truth. So in their version 886 is
when he had his first son, whose name was his smile. And his smile
was born from our mother Hajah who was a bond servant or bond slave
of Ibrahim, Melissa. So the firstborn was is my illness.
And then according to again, the Bible, Genesis is hark. And as
salam was born to the same wife, who had been barren for 80 years
when he was 100 years old, so there was a 14 year age difference
between his mind and his Salaam in itself.
And from his mind, Ali Salam and we know Ismail Ali Salaam and his
mother Hajer Ali salaam were left in the barren Valley of Baca with
nothing and from that lineage, no prophets came
till the final messenger rasool Allah muscles
the Bible also says, he says to to his heart and from you I will make
a great nation and I have favored you as Allah smarter listen, I
favored them he favored the bunny is up with prophet after prophet
after prophet all of the prophets of Bani Israel came, sometimes two
and three at a time.
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said that one used to die in the next
one would come.
Now that's a great favor. But if you look at it from the other side
What does it indicate?
Rebellion
they could not be left alone without having a profit with them
at all times.
So all of the profits from the lineage is how can a sinner
and the son of his helper listen um, was who jacobellis And the son
of jacobellis, Salam there were 12, of whom was use of an SLR. And
later on some form of Prophethood were given to the other 11 After
the rectified themselves and they are mentioned in the pan has a
spot
Musa Haruna you know, he's Are you well, well as bad, the other 11
were given some form of profit.
So, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam was once asked, Who is the
noblest of people? He said, The one who has most Taqwa of Allah.
So the man who was asking said, That's not what I meant.
So he said, if you are talking in terms of lineage, then use of the
son of a Nabi the son of a Nabi, the son of kalila.
So this is the lineage of use of a listener.
Son of Jakob son of SR, son of Ibrahim alayhis salam, and that
will be mentioned here.
Niger is important.
But Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam also said that the one who
is held back because of his deeds will not be moved forward because
of his lineage.
The dough I am Sayed from the Ashraf from us Rasul Allah
salAllahu Alaihe Salam, but my armor, zero or negative? It's not
good enough.
You said the Alpha team I don't count on the fact that you are my
daughter.
Of course, he also gave Bashara that she is the CEO of the Nyssa
will Jana, but to teach us his take telling her don't depend on
the fact that you are my daughter, your deeds, your deeds your deeds.
So, but this is the lineage people come from a noble lineage are
expected to be noble and behave normally carry that lineage.
Any questions so far? Now we can start the surah
any comments anybody wants to add in
Yahoo hit club sons, adult children 12 sons sons
according to the Bible, to wives and to handmades.
So
the mother of
use of Allah salaam was the 11th son, second youngest.
And his young he had a younger brother whose name is given us
Binyamin according to the surrogates not mentioned in the
Quran, just his brothers are mentioned. So it is said according
to that, and like we said, we don't deny that we don't say it's
wrong. And we don't say it's confirmed that these two the last
two were born from a different mother than some of the others.
And the Bible calls her is Rachael. Rachael.
Rachel,
and it is said that Rachel and As Salam died in childbirth, giving
birth to bieniemy.
So the two youngest, had essentially no mother. So that may
have been one other reason why jacobellis Salam was extra
protective of them.
And it is said according to them that jacobellis Salam then married
Rachel sister, and she raised the two younger ones. So that's
what we have and again,
that's maybe true may not be true.
Now hold him in a shape on your Ragini Bismillah you're right,

Allah Samantha la starts the surah with the three disconnected
letters, which are called what
her awful Makati letters that are cut separated that Alif Lam Rami
means no, makes no sense. And as we know we have studied before.
How many Surah start with this
when we were studying Surah Yaseen, how many rueful Wakata
there how many Alif Lam Meem raw yah see and so on. Ham in PA off,
I am seeing you remember, we've gone through this.
How many alphabets in the Arabic language
29 Actually, and 14
are the rueful mokdad.
And here we have Alif Lam.
This is a third of a series of Elif Lam raw Surahs it starts with
Surah Ulus starts with Kliff Lanre
then Surah Hood and this is the third one. Then after that, there
will be three more
which we will talk about in a few minutes.
I think I shouldn't even ask this question.
How do we remember these are often Mahkota that we gave you that some
amongst scholar had put them together in one sentence. What was
it
NUS soon hacky Moon Party own law who Cyril NUS text wise decisive
text full of wonderful secrets even negative said. So if you take
that
Nas if you put those together that those are the 14 alphabets and it
makes sense nosh, nos means text Hakim on wise, which is the Quran
Arteon which is decisive, low serum in which there is secret
because this there is a secret behind this that nobody knows for
sure. Okay.
So Allah subhanaw taala says I live lamb raw Tilka Ayatollah
Kitab al Mubin these are the verses of a clear book
clear Clearbrook ducky dot Clearbrook Anchieta
Does anybody remember
what we said about this? rueful Nakata again we have to review it
because we forget
what are they
safest is to say what correct true opinion
the reality the absolute truth about it is known only to a law.
And then we've said there people have reflected on and some have
said these are names of Allah how they start you know, Allah for
Allah lamb for Latif and mean for you know more Haman and so on so
forth. And then also we said that whenever these alphabet alphabets
occur in the Quran, what what comes right after that in the eye
and if Lam Meem Delhi, Calcutta Alif Lam me always a mention of
the
or earn something to do with the Quran comes in that I owe the next
day or the next two years, except Surah rule in which it comes
indirectly and we went over that and I'm not going to go over that
again. Every time it comes these alphabets and then a mention of
the Quran
as if to say the Quran is made up of these alphabets here, there,
I'm giving you half of them 14. Go ahead. It's a challenge.
There is ads in the Quran that challenge the people who don't
believe take the same ingredients take these alphabets and
produce a book like this.
Take these alphabets produce 10 Surahs like this, that's and I
have the Quran
then it comes produce one two or like or 10 I add like it and that
has never been done. So this is to show the Divinity the divine
origin of this book, that here it is. It is made up of these
alphabets
and also to make a symbol
that you start the Quran by saying I don't know.
And whenever we start the Quran I don't know I don't come in to the
Quran arrogant is that oh, I know. If I come in with a full cup, I'm
not going to collect anything. I come in with an empty cup. Allah
reminds us to be humbled by saying I don't know what the Quran starts
with Alif Lam Meem I have no clue really what this is. So Allah
teach me
teach me I don't know
till I is toolkit, Silica is an article of ishara directing, like
you said this. Okay.
Silica is a feminine ishara ashadha to something that has a
feminine gender.
Like Allah Swanton says for the dialogical Kitab that initial This
is the book now that's masculine Velyka the female of that is
tilaka. Because the if the word if is if feminine gender, so till I
add, the only thing about this is valleca and Tilka are different
than how other and how the when you sing this, which is near if
it's masculine, you say hada or use if it's feminine, you say
howdy. This is saying their lyrical Kitab teleca is this is of
indicator something that's far
that the Quran is with us to indicate that its majesty that
it's elevated and it came from on high. So Allah subhanaw taala is
using those
law letters that indicate distance, that this is something
grand, it's coming from above their local kita
till kappa yet
so that we learn
to treat every word and the whole book with respect and honor and
Tallinn. And that's why in our culture, at least mostly in the,
in the Indians, Pakistanis subcontinent, Bangladesh, we
always keep the Quran on top. You know, we shouldn't touch the Quran
without whoa this is Tavi because this is the words of Allah. And we
know this is called Kalam Allah. The Quran is Kalam Allah, Allah
spoke these words
Gibreel Allah Salama heard these words Gibreel Allah Salam spoke
these words. So you're gonna Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam heard
these words. He sallallahu alayhi salam spoke these words that is
what the Quran is. Quran means the recitation, it did not come as a
book. Yet here it is said
Kitab al Kitab al mobi
because it was compiled going to be compiled into a book. So it's a
written form and recited form, which is the same, okay, but it
did not descend as a book. It wasn't a book that came down on
the mountains in the mountains collapsed. It came down as verbal
as a recitation. That is why
spoken it's the Quran written is the book Al Kitab or Mustafa, as
we call it. Now, the word so Allah subhanaw taala uses most commonly
for the Quran he either calls it al Kitab, or he calls it for an he
also calls it a vicar and there are other names
for it, but the most commonly used is Al Kitab which appears in the
Quran 77 times L kita.
So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us
Tilka honor these words, yet
in English we call them verses, but it has multiple meanings, what
are the
higher is a sign. So everything that you see, each one of you is a
sign
of some higher power that created you. The sun is a sign the moon is
assigned, weather changes are assigned.
If you want to call them miracles, it is like a miracle and the
entire Quran is a miracle therefore every idea is a
miracle. Also allah sallallahu sallam said what my miracle my
margins is on Quran it is eternal, therefore every I have it is a
sign.
So
Allah subhanaw taala still at
these ayat are
what?
Kitabi Mubin from the Quran, moonbeam. Something that is by in
that means something that's very clear.
What does it mean? It's clear?
If it's that clear, why are we sitting here and having this
session?
Jazak Allah that is one understanding that it is clearly a
divine revelation, it has not come from any source. And this makes
sense here for Surah Yusuf because they were challenging them that He
is a poet, Allah Swanton DeLuca IR to keytab labin. These are the
verses Surah Yusuf that's going to follow and everything else
Kitab a book that is clear, there is no doubt that it is from Allah.
And the proof was was presented because someone who had no
knowledge of this then comes out and recites the whole Surah
it's also clear that
there is a very clear message in the Quran, the message of Tawheed
the message of Africa of accountability of right and wrong.
And for that, you can even read the translations and you will get
the meaning whether it's an order or English of Bangla or any
language, you get the message which is clear. Now if you want to
go into a detailed study, then you need the Arabic language and you
need some scholarship of what people have said. But as a basic
thing for the Bedouin, or for a farmer or somebody who's not a
PhD. The Quran has a very clear message, worship one God, don't
associate any partners within
follow my messenger SallAllahu listen, you will come to meet me
every soul will meet that there is a day of judgment there is not
there is Jana, I have sent angels, this is what has happened before
message is very clear. Right? details you want more than yes,
there is the study of the Quran that's when the Farsi come in.
So here Allah subhanaw taala mentioned the word iron.
And elsewhere Allah subhanaw taala has also mentioned in the Quran,
the word surah.
That means these divisions of the Quran are also divine. It's not
somebody said, Okay, let's end the sentence here make this one I,
Allah said these are Ayat who determined they are the ayat
Allah, who determined they are the surah Allah, this ends here, this
is where it is. And it was given to Rasulullah Salallahu Salam, in
fact, some of them came later, put it in this surah In this place. So
the order is also divine, the division into Iots and Surah are
all divine, because Allah has used the word IR and surah in the
Quran. So it's not something that was added afterwards some of the
critics of the of the Quran try to prove it, this is all they have
divided into the longest in the beginning and the shortest in the
end and they put this and everything is there because even
the word IRA and Surah are in the in the
in the know Quran and Arabic, next is Allah Swatara uses the word and
he said Allah subhanaw taala says, Indeed we
have sent it down 10 or 15 Okay but it's a long can you please
mute all your
people online? Can you please mute your mics desert?
Allah subhanaw taala says indeed we have centered down Quran and
RRB
Quran in the Arabic language on Arabic Quran Lala calm taka loon
so that you may
understand
it now we have
let me ask the youngster there's two young ladies sitting there
Allah saying we have we just said Allah is one right?
Why are we using a plural we sent it down Shouldn't it be I sent it
down
What do you say?
Because he like sent it through the
good good good good, any other adults can also come in
with this, so there is there is there is the there is a plural of
number and there is a plural of majesty. You know, even the Queen
of England, former Queen, whenever they made a declaration we they
would use plural of majesty is not a number. So this is to show who
it is. So Allah subhanaw taala has used the plural of majesty, it
doesn't mean that it's more than one God. Okay. Now
also, there is an opinion of Imam Ibn Taymiyyah. He said that
whenever Allah subhanaw taala uses the word PLU nano or unzer You
know, the plural of we, it has always to do with something in
which the angels are involved, like bringing the Quran down, like
bringing the rain down, like mo doing this and that. So his
opinion was that when Allah Subhana Allah says We means
Allah's command carried out by the angels so close to what you said.
That's another valid opinion.
Ansel now, what is the meaning of Nasrallah on Zillow?
Something that comes from above dissents, okay. That means it came
from above, but Quran also uses the word Nasrallah.
What is the difference between Nasrallah and unzila
Nasrallah is done over a period of time, and as we know, the Quran
was revealed over 23 years. So, portions came at a time and Salah
means all of it at one time.
Now, we know it came over 23 years, yet Allah saying unza Now
we sent it down all at once. Did that happen?
In Nans, Allah houfy Laylatul Qadr There you go.
Yes, it was sent all at one time. From Lahemaa photos to the first
heaven on the night of Nana Takada that was the Ansel now and from
there, Nasrallah over a period of time 23 years, it came down to
Rasulullah sallallahu. Is that clear? All of it was sent to the
first Jevon on lentil cutter. And then from there, it all didn't
come down at once it came down over a period of 23 years.
So now we have mentioned of Kitab, the written script and Quran
recited.
Araby and Allah subhanaw taala specifies that he revealed it in
the Arabic language.
What does that mean to you?
I mean, we all know that but what is it?
He didn't have to say because anybody reads the Quran we know
it's an Arabic language, but Allah subhanaw taala said it more than
once.
You could say Logically, if you use you said well, it was sent to
Arabic speaking messenger to the people who spoke Arabic so it had
to be in Arabic, it couldn't be in Latin or Sanskrit, right.
So one is that it was sent to an Arab Prophet and two Arab people.
But it is one of the Semitic languages, Hebrew,
Aramaic, all of the
Is are considered Semitic languages and of all the Semitic
languages the most sophisticated and most eloquent with all of
those glorious rules of grammar that we all struggle with is the
Arabic language it is very, very precise and it is very eloquent.
So Allah subhanaw taala honored the Arabic language by sending all
the languages belong to him, but he chose the Arabic language to
convey his final message, the one that He preserves.
So which is also telling us what is the lesson in this
is knowing the Quran farther or not?
And the rule in our deen is whatever is foreign, whatever
leads to it is also false. Which means each one of us has a duty to
have some working knowledge of the Arabic language. That's the lesson
and it's never too late.
Right? Never too late. So we need to appreciate the kalam of Allah.
Not true. Translators, because that's human words. We have to
have some knowledge of the Arabic language was studied. Inshallah,
Allah Swanton has mentioned it.
Now somebody might say, Allah says Arabic Quran, but I have heard
people say that word certain words, this is not an Arabic word,
yet the Quran
it had its origin and in Farsi, it had its origin in Sanskrit even in
Latin.
The store the word story in English stories
in Arabic is a salty hula wailing. Satyam story, see the commonality
of those words? So what happened is yes, there were words when
languages in people interact, they borrow words from each other.
Okay, in order to we have English words, in English, we have all the
words khaki
hotkeys, you know, wearing khakis, right. And many other words.
So, and then they become part of that language.
So, yes, there are some words that are about 250 words in the Quran,
that may have had a foreign language origin, but they're
equivalent in Arabic, is what is in the Quran. So that's just an
aside Quran in Arabic, Lala Ko.
So, that you may talk alone,
especially address to the Quraysh that you are the masters of this
language, they were the masters of this language Allah say, I have
sent it down in the language that you understand that you have
mastery in poetry and so on. So over eloquence you should be able
to appreciate this and they did. You know, there are so many
stories of three of the leaders are Bucha Helen to others
remember, one night
they came near the Kaaba they were in the night because Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam was there reciting the Quran and they were
all out there because the beauty of the recitation of the kalam of
Allah was so attractive to them that they came to listen to this
eloquent because they then had hearts who could appreciate those
the language and then a more general says What are you doing
what are you doing? I came to listen, I came to listen He said
you know this looks very bad for us, we are denying him and so, now
we make a promise to each other we will not come back and listen to
him because if we get caught here by others, then you know we lose
against him. So, next night, one of them thinks that the other two
are not coming let me go and listen. The other one thinks the
same way and the third one next night all three are there again.
So you promised that you promised. So the color they appreciated the
color um so Allah subhanaw taala Kanoon you should have use your
use your apple. Now. There is another point here.
What does it mean by you understand this message?
If you understand this message, truly, look, I'm tapping on if you
understand what would you do?
You would believe it.
You would follow it. You would follow it right? That's what is
called? That is not just if
You truly understood, I understand the words, if you understood it,
you would know that this is the truth and therefore you would
accept it, you would embrace it, you would believe in it, you would
obey and follow it and therefore you would benefit from it. So
Allah subhanaw taala is asking them to use their rational senses.
Allah is not saying just accept it. Use your rockin
many fates. When people challenge even in Christianity when somebody
asks what to explain the Trinity, you know what they say? Don't ask
the question. Just believe in it means just take it in your heart.
This is the truth are the incense. Yes, accept it in your heart. But
rationalize it.
Because it shouldn't be exclusive. If you rationalize it, you will
find it to be the truth and then it will be even have more impact
on your heart. So it's ugly, and Calibri. It's not just emotional,
that I heard it. It's beautiful. Therefore, no, it should also make
sense.
So our deen is both rational and emotional. Because ultimately the
hearts are involved in it. We love it. We love Allah that's an
emotion. It's not Apple.
So we have an appellee and now Allah subhanaw taala starts
because they asked about this narration he says no again he uses
the plural of majesty we not co su alayka. We narrate to you this
Chris.
Because passes.
Pasa in Arabic means something.
walking in the footsteps
is what where it comes from the word passes.
We had this word in Surah calf when Musa al Salaam and usually
Salam returned, he said oh, that's where you were, that walked back,
same word is used there. So why are stories called Casa of Casa
simpler,
because we are walking in the footsteps of the people who live
that story. So we are really living that story by walking in
their footsteps. So when we go through this we are walking in the
footsteps of use of a listener or heroine or listen or Musa Lesnar.
Okay, so Allah subhanaw taala says now nakasu alayka axonal us we
will narrate to you your rasool Allah La ka second, second person
singular men, the best axonal process. Now if you take this as a
general meaning that means Allah narrates in the Quran, many
passages many stories, Allah saying every story of the Quran is
a beautiful story.
Nothing less than that is known to be in the Quran. story of Musa
cinema is a beautiful story, the most story of, of dougela Salaam
is a beautiful story, the story of Abraham and Islam is a beautiful
story, that they are all beautiful stories.
Because the style of storytelling in the Quran is not detailed. It
is very unique. Yet it derives lessons from it. It gives you a
model lessons. Okay? It doesn't add burden you with details where
you lose the model that you get into details. Her name was
zuleikha and she was maybe 40 years old, but she was very
beautiful. Maybe the husband was important maybe this ended she
ended up finally once the reconsolidated they get married
all those details if you add which are you will find in the biblical
stories
they make you lose focus on what the main lessons in the Quranic
stories always are for lessons, they're not for storytelling.
So Allah subhanaw taala is dancing, external causes that they
are all beautiful stories, but particularly this one because in
so much detail, which is coming now non apostolic external process
passes Bhima or Hanaa La Casa del Quran that just like we have
revealed to you the this peran Like like it has come down. This
story is coming. Well in Quinta min Kabila. He laminal off any and
you Muhammad salallahu Salam before this before this was
revealed. You will often you are unaware of this story. You didn't
know anything about it. Okay.
Kafala has many meanings. One is being inattentive, heedless,
unaware.
Didn't know now that gulf law can be something that you have no
control over because you don't know
then it can be something you have control over. Like such as being
aware of Allah. I should always be aware of Allah but I'm in a state
of buffalo I forgot about Allah for an hour, two hours a day,
whatever it is. So that's a rough law that is not a praiseworthy
hafla but this is a less Obergefell added he didn't know
and when you don't know somebody has to tell you. Now the
interesting is Allah subhanaw taala did not use the word Jai Lu.
Because Jaya is harsher word than Khosla and look at the other with
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam he said he didn't say you are
laughing He said you are among the lawful means many people don't
know when you're one of them
this is also the way Allah addresses his messenger saying the
message but with other Allah is using other teaching us to use
other how much other we should have addressed
so as I said before the word haben Quran is mentioned in this before
it was mentioned as guitar so this book
now starts the story it's called the use of a bee yeah but the in
the writer Heather Ashura common wisdom someone coming up to him.
Lisa, Judy.
If Carla
in what is meant by and remember, when the word is used is when
something happened. But what is meant is like when we start
stories in English, how do we notice once upon a time, when such
and such thing happened?
In a way, what's implied here is remember now think, call a use of
when you sort of said a B to his father. Yeah, a birdie in the
Arabic language. Yeah, it is. Like, it's not like saying, oh my
father, it's like endearment. Or My dear father, or my beloved
father. You said when you feel very close, you know, there are
moments in the father you love them. But there may be moments
when you feel even closer to Yeah, Betty. Okay. Yeah, Betty. So just
imagine.
They say about seven year old kid
comes to his father,
then father may have many things going on. He's got a big family to
support and they were shepherds. Okay. Big family to support them.
This young boy comes to him said Oh, my father
in Iraq,
I have seen
I had the Ashura. 11 stars was shumsa Welcome. I saw the sun and
the moon. And then he uses the same words. So he said, I saw 11
stars, the sun and the moon. And then he says
write to him and I saw them. Lisa Jadine prostrating to me. So he
added that. So in other words, there are two parts to this dream.
One, he sees them stationary. He identifies them as sun, moon, and
stars.
Is there anything unusual about this? Can the Sun and Moon appear
together?
What do you mean? No. You see them sometimes you see have the moon in
the daytime. You see the sun here? The moon is there.
Do you see stars with the sun?
11 stars.
So there was something unusual about this. He's seeing the sun
and he's seeing the stars and using the moon. So just there's
something unusual going on here. Because you don't see Venus is the
first star that appears. And after sunset, as soon as I said that's
the brightest one that shows up. And then you see the second.
Obviously he saw enough and they were clear enough that he was able
to cut them.
So he saw them. He saw the sun in the moon and he saw and then as
he's looking at them, he says are i to him? I saw them
Lee sided in doing surgery that to me. He used the word Sajida.
Now what is your concept of such that we no one says that. You put
your hands down and you put your knees down and you put your head
does the sun have a hands feet and
there's the moon or the stars to what does it mean by such that
obedience
What would you think a child may have seen that would make him
think of that?
Perhaps if he saw the sun, the moon and stars come down, come
down, come down together. And they come to the in front of his feet,
and then disappeared.
Just like we see the sun setting, and it goes.
So he saw all of these. Now, he didn't see it setting somewhere.
He said, just lead to me, to me means they came in front of me,
all of them and they disappeared, that that will be one way of size,
the Allahu Allah what he saw. But these are things you have to think
we take the story. We've heard the story 100 times when God says
Nicaea what what does it mean?
So he probably saw something, but it was unusual.
Now, when you've got kids, when they something unusual happens,
who do they go to first?
Brothers, sisters, they tell them, should I tell mom? Should I tell
that? Right? Generally, that's what they are, they first talked
to the generation most times, unless something bad happens, then
there might be
no, he did not go to his 11 brothers.
He did not go to his mother.
So this child had some special wisdom, he came to his father.
He only knew my father is a prophet of Allah.
So who would know better than my father.
And yet, it was striking enough dream that he wanted to tell him.
It wasn't one of those random dreams that you saw and you forget
in two minutes. Afterwards, he had all the details.
And he came and he said this
it seems that even at that age, he understood the general meaning of
this dream.
He deciphered it 11 stars, I have 11 Brothers,
sun and the moon which represent the parents.
So some of this amorphous Arun have sent the sun represents the
father and the moon the mother but the majority of scholars have said
the Sun represents the mother and the moon the Father
because
Amok Amok amok, your mother, your mother, your mother, then your
father,
okay,
that the mother's role is greater, but in this case, the mother had
apparently died. But so he had whoever else stepmothers, but he
came to the Father.
Another thing to reflect on this is,
what did the sun in the moon do?
In this, obviously, we know they're represented later on the
story. We know they're represented the parents and the brothers, the
stars.
So what do the Sun and Moon represents, in general, what do
they do?
They give us light.
So when you lose your parents,
when you lose your mother and your father,
it is as if you have lost the light in your life.
Because you go through a state of emotional darkness,
no matter how old they were.
And then it tells you if you go into that darkness, because you've
lost your parents,
look for the stars. Because in the night, you get guidance by looking
at stars, you know, we have the major and the minor and with North
Star and all of that. So what are the stars? It tells us that we
should connect with our relatives and with the friends of our
parents, because those little lights would remind us of the nor
that our parents were in our lives.
So anyway, use of Anessa Ramses this dream. It's an unusual dream.
And I want you all afterwards when you're lying down before you go to
sleep reflect on this. What must you have seen because there's so
many unusual things about this dream? Just the fact like I said
that the sun and stars were together and then how did they do
such then?
So he says
he does not go to anyone else.
And he trusts his
farther with this dream
and he approaches him.
In this year, Albert is telling us that they were alone.
That's why that intimacy term that they were alone, he didn't. He
could have told the dream to jacobellis alum and the brothers
were sitting around eating.
Now, what is the response of the Father?
Paula jacobellis Salam said, Yeah, Boonie so he reciprocated. He
reciprocated that intimate. Yeah. Apathy with Yabu name for my
beloved son. Again, something us very close to you very dear to
you. He said, Yeah, boy. So what's the first thing he tells him?
It tells him something negative a
lot of Sousou IACA. Allah, Attica, don't tell this dream to your
brothers. It gives them a warning.
Little child, it comes to the Father gives him a warning.
And he does doesn't stop there. Many times as parents, what we do
is don't do this. And that's it. That's a command from on. Hi,
father and mother I've said that said, he explains to his young son
why he's saying this. This is lessons in parenting
that we first of all, first lesson is always be available for your
children to come to you and talk to you and discuss anything. And
give them that attention. Treat them with the same kindness and
gentleness and intimacy that they want. Pay attention. They're
talking, I'm on my phone that talking I'm busy. You know? Yeah.
What do you say? I'm listening? I'm listening. No, you get one on
one attention. This is teaching us adopt with our children.
Okay, otherwise the child talks not my father is not listening. He
leaves
give them that.
Then he explains, is it the reason I'm saying this is
for your key, do laka Qaeda, so that they don't
plot make a plot against you?
Yeah, Paula Salam listens to the narration of the dream, he
interprets it. He also understands that this is about the brothers
and about the parents. And understand the use of has been
received received this dream. That means he is being selected by
Allah subhanaw taala, for something special, that's
something special could have come to any of the 12. And the moment
he declares it to his brother, the jealousies, indexes will go up,
and they will harm him. So he has fear for use of an SLR.
So he says, For your key to laka Qaeda, let's devise a plot against
you. But then he adds another interesting thing. He's not saying
that also implies that perhaps those brothers didn't always treat
him well.
Because they were jealous, and we'll learn later because they
say, you know, he gets favored by a father, he loves them. And, you
know, we are this and we are this and we are strong, and he pays
more attention. He loves them. So they had some jealousies and he
thought if this is revealed to them, they would really flip and
do harm him, which was right, that's what they did. They wanted
to kill him actually.
Then he says, in the shade panel inside here, I'll do one more bein
indeed. Shaitan is an open enemy to mankind. humankind. So what has
he done? This way he has protected the other 11 By saying it's not
they're not bad, but shaitan might give them these verses that they
might do something bad against you. Okay, that is the adult with,
you know, that we learned from that is when you see someone doing
something bad.
Blame the shape on
once you look at him, he's doing this. Oh my god shaitan has put
this idea in him. put the blame on shaitan but when we do something
wrong,
put the blame on us don't say shaitan has done this. I haven't
done it. No, you take ownership of it. That is the other I did it
because later on it will come the the brothers will come they will
say we did they don't they don't come and say shaitan made us do
yet he in the end I am number 100 He says shatta and made you do
this he still didn't blame them he blame shaitan so this is also an
act lesson of adults that when you see somebody doing yours Oh and
you know so once said yeah, maybe shutdown has suggested this and we
make dogs so here he is protecting the others by saying shaitan may
have put put them
Up to this
so he fears that they will be harmed by his brothers. But
there's another fear that some have reflected on
that he saw that Allah's creation is made to do such that to Allah's
creation
stars more than anything is being made to do siesta in front of us
of Allah Salam o is Allah's creation. Mahalo mahalo doing
saija And he puts it together that when a McCulloch is made to do
such that to Mahalo, there is a great trial coming, because he
remembers that the angels are made to do such that to other Mala
Salaam and then look what other Melissa had to go through after
that.
So he means that Allah has chosen to honor someone, then they will
be put through such chests that nobody else can handle. So he
figured that if this honor is being given to use of that the sun
and moon are doing such that to him that means some heavy tests
are coming down the line. So he had fearful
you understand?
Inshallah, we will
stop there in the interest of
Salah and take a few questions and continue from there inshallah in
two weeks
along on the hammock, Masha, don't lie
