My dear brothers and sisters, we thank Allah subhanaw taala for
this opportunity
to gather
purely for study and learning together
the book of Allah subhanaw taala.
And with the intention,
not just of gaining information, but of taking lessons
and applying those lessons in our lives.
That is the main purpose for which this book was revealed.
No one else has been given this favor, no other nation can claim
that they have the True Word of Allah subhanaw taala with them.
They were given
and they lost it or it was taken from them. This is the only one
which Allah himself chose to protect his final revelation.
And if we don't value it, if we don't show that Halim
and we don't have love for it, then Allah can take it from us
also.
And it doesn't have to be taken away physically, Allah subhanaw
taala can take away from us the understanding of this book, and
the application in our lives. So whenever we
gather to study the Quran,
remember that this is a very special privilege. We are not
doing each other a favor. We are not doing Allah subhanaw taala
favor. This is his favor that he allows us to study his book.
We've been studying Surah Yusuf.
And those who were with us from the beginning, if you remember
Surah Yusuf was revealed at what time
in the theater of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
yes makan period. What more than that?
11,000
in the Harmon husband, which is the year of sadness, the year of
sorrow, were Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam faced the biggest
challenges of his life. He had two great losses the loss of our
mother Khadija or the Allah Ana and the loss of Abu Talib and then
he went to five where he was stoned. So, this was the low point
of his prophethood at that point, Allah subhanaw taala reveals Surah
use have to give him consolation.
His own Ma
is also facing a low point in their existence
where millions of our brothers and sisters
children
are being starved.
Electricity is cut off.
Waters got off. Food just got off
homes are being demolished.
Reminds me of a low point in the Omar's history
when food was cut off, and water was cut off from none other
than the beloved of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam his grandson so
you're gonna Hussein
The same thing happened
we ask Allah subhanaw taala
to accept this gathering
and what
Have a good, whatever Thaba whatever rewards
that it deserves. That may it be given
to the suffering people, our brothers and sisters and
Philistine.
We finished it iron number 29 Last time,
which is where use of Allah Salam
has been falsely accused of
attacking, or trying to
have an illicit relationship with the wife of the Aziz, the chief
minister of Egypt, whereas the case was completely opposite.
The Aziz comes to the door.
She makes an accusation that this is what this slave of ours was
trying to do. And then there's a family member of hers who said,
well look at the shirt, look at the circumstantial evidence which
will tell you who is guilty whether it's torn from the front
or torn from the back.
And as you know, they came to a conclusion that she was the one
who was wrong. And that use of a lesser than
the most Karim of people, the noble of people, the son of
Carnaby, the son of another Nabi. And the great grandson of Kalyan
Allah, the most noble of people of, of lineage was innocent.
And then an interesting thing happened, Aziz didn't seem too
upset about this whole thing. He just said, don't talk about this
to anybody. I don't want this scandal getting around. So he told
us of Alesana, don't mention this to anyone. And what did he say to
his wife.
She put her he put her in a group of people so that you women, your
plots are great means you all women are the same.
And ask for forgiveness. That's it.
So
this gives us an idea of the social system that existed at that
time in Egypt among the elite because you're now you're talking
about the rich and powerful.
And in all times in history, it has been that the rich and the
powerful. In the social circles, they have a fake relationship,
they meet each other,
but they hate each other. They're jealous of each other, they have
greed,
they want what the others have of power, and so on, so forth.
So all of the relationships are superficial, they will visit each
other, but they will talk about each other behind their backs.
So Allah subhanaw taala was telling us about this,
that this was the background. And there was a scandal.
There were only four people there. The Aziz was not going to get this
word out.
Use of Allah salaam, honorable he was not going to talk about it.
The wife of the Aziz probably would not talk about it, although
we can be sure. And there was one other witness but somehow, the
word got out.
And once this scandal gets out,
then it goes from tongue to tongue. Now, unfortunately, that's
a disease that we all suffer from. But Allah subhanaw taala,
who has created us and made our own
gender characteristics says that this is more common among the
women.
This is a last statement and elsewhere also, he says that
because he says, Qaeda cannot and this is your blockchain. And then
Allah smart Allah goes on to tell us what happens. So the point I
was trying to make is
that in these circles that sometimes we look up to now the
circles of the rich and the famous and the powerful. We get impressed
by it.
They are marked by jealousies and greed and scandal and vying for
dunya dunya is malinger wealth and position.
The minister's primary concern seem to be that he wanted his
reputation protected, didn't care what his wife was doing.
Right. He didn't have what is called a real
up the token, another man be with my wife. Okay, that healthy normal
spousal jealousy. So His concern was let this not get out.
Then Allah subhanaw taala says ultimately lay him in a shape on
your regime. This is where we start iron number 30. We're all on
this bottom feeling Medina team, Tula ZZ Torah we do for an FC,
called the chaga have been in Allah Nara haffi Ebola movie,
which means, and some of the elite women of the city said, the wife
of the Aziz, the chief minister, this is the first time he's been
called Al Aziz. Before that it was the man from Egypt is seeking to
seduce her young slave. Indeed, he has penetrated her heart. And she
loves him violently.
And verily, we see her in plain error. This is just plain wrong.
Clearly she has gone astray. So now they've become holier than
now. But oh, look at this woman. She is going after this young man
this is clearly wrong. Now, if they truly thought it was wrong,
they should have kept quiet about it.
This is just hearsay. When you hear something, you don't convey
it till you have proof of it, even though it happened, okay. It came
through somebody maybe some servants talk to each other, talk
to some other people servants and the slaves talk to each other and
the news got out.
So, what would you call this? One is called gossip, right? Which
sometimes we are guild backbiting, you're talking about somebody
behind the back, sometimes it can be slander, and sometimes it is
what is called an amoeba, all of which are considered kabbah major
sins from alpha to listen, the sins that the tongue commits,
which are considered major
for which either Jahannam is promised or a punishment. For
example, if you make a false accusation about the morality of a
woman and you can bring four witnesses, you have a HUD you have
at lashes. Okay? So these are major sins. So, what is
backbiting? Everybody knows, right? What is backbiting? Are you
telling the truth? Are you telling lies? You're telling the truth,
something did happen. But backbiting means you're talking
about somebody who's not there
saying something that they would not like said in their absence.
Okay, even though it is true, and that's called Riba.
Now suppose it was a lie. It would didn't even happen. That takes it
up a notch in sin.
And that's called Boutin, slander, making a false accusation.
And then there is causing problem between people.
brother Salim
Do you know what so and so said about you in that gathering?
Then what's your responses? Do you know what he said about you in
that gathering, getting tales from people that's called in a meme
for all of these, it is said the person who indulges in this
doesn't do Toba is going to Jana. So these are very serious things
that we should know about because we take things lightly. You know,
once the session finishes, you're taking refreshments you have to
talk you start talking about things and sooner or later if you
talk too much, you will start talking about people and then the
filters go down and then you are not careful. So it is best to keep
a lock on the mouth. Allah Swanton has given us two locks on the on
the tongue, the lips and the teeth. Keep it under control.
So this is what happened
so they said something interesting they said that
is love has penetrated her heart.
Shove off a half have been
means she is consumed by issue for him
I lost my brother has recorded in the Quran for eternity, the
conversations that took place
so there's got to be something important about that.
People can fall in so called love or lust, whatever, to the degree
where they lose all their moral compass
one time, so you're gonna have delight now bass was a Tage, the
grid companion
was at Hutch and he saw a young man completely emaciated means
skin and bones only being carried for tawaf. Like somebody was
terminally ill
was going to die like the end cancer patient. So he said what
happened to him?
They said he suffers from a condition.
He said what is his condition?
They said ish.
He fell in love with someone who refused to have any part of him
and that consumed them that he stopped eating and drinking and he
has no interest in anything and he's become skin and bone so we
brought him for Hajj.
So on Arafah Abdullah Basara the Allahu and knowing who he was
spent most of his god Ya Allah.
Now the beggar I seek Your protection
from a heart that falls
in this disease of Ishq for someone where I lose my moral
compass. So just on the side just to tell you that sometimes
physical attractions things like that can lead to somebody's
undoing.
You know, the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu yourself,
because both of those are relevant in here.
What the Pharisees his wife did and what these women are doing
anybody know what that hadith says that I guarantee you Jana?
If you guarantee me what
what is between the jaws and between the legs Jazak Allah can
you guarantee me two things means what is between your jaw means
tongue what you say and what is between your legs your private
parts means no illicit activity or relationship and guarding your
tongue you guarantee me those that you will keep them under control,
I guarantee you Jana.
And the reverse is also true.
You have to think of the opposite. If guarantee is Janna is for these
two. If you do the opposite, the destination is the opposite.
So, essentially, these women are now having a field day because
they are tearing down one of the people in their own social circle
of the elite. Oh, look what she did.
Fela Masami had to be Mercury hin or Salat la hin. So that was that
la han Namo taka touch Kula wa Minho. nnessee Zykina. We'll call
it the Hora la hin. malama aina. Who burner who?
Adi Hoon, we're calling
we're calling Shirley Maha Bashara in her the mullah can carry.
So when she This is the wife of the Aziz, the word got to her that
this is what this is. The talk of the town is what the women are
saying. When she heard about their gossip and the accusation.
She said,
let me take care of them. This is how it works in the society. So
what did she do? She sent them all an invitation come to my house, we
are having a party, a banquet.
Now imagine she's got something up her sleeve, she wants to prove
something.
So what she did she prepared a great banquet for them. And of
course, they must have all come all dressed up and made up and
perfume then they are more interested in coming there. Why?
They want to see use of themselves. What is this? Okay.
So they're coming with that in mind. So obviously, they're going
to be all dressed up the best way they can, because they want to see
what's going on. So what she did was she prepared a big meal. She
gave each one of them a knife
with Turkey in so they were couches, but also they were
reclining relaxed and lots of foods and fruit. And she said each
one should get
My knife.
Then she said to Yusuf alayhi, Salam was not there in that
gathering cannot be commanded him because she's the owner.
Then when they, the women saw him, they were so stunned by his
beauty.
They were mesmerized, they were hypnotized. And in their amazement
and admiration, they're looking at him. They're cutting their fruit.
And they're cutting their hands. And they are oblivious, of the
fact that they're actually not even feeling the pain because
they're just amazed at him.
And they said, Good God.
How perfect is Allah, this cannot be a human being.
This is none other than a normal Angel.
Now what must have happened when the fingers and hands got cut? Of
course,
the wife of the Aziz planned it, she knew what was going to happen.
So she is on the top of the world. She said, I got you.
Okay, you're talking about me. But what must have happened
practically suppose there are all these women who've had their hands
cut and they're bleeding.
Somebody has to come and bandage them. So there's one slip the use
of he must be going and they must all be hating on him at that time,
trying to show what you know. I'm also here and I'm also here, just
imagine the scene.
And he being happier he is. He doesn't see it. He has no he's
just doing his job. He ignores all of that.
In general, when a person sins like she committed a sin.
What should you do when you commit a sin?
Do you want it to become a scandal? Do you want to get out in
the community? No. So there are three ways of controlling that one
is you stop doing what did what you did. And you do Toba, you ask
Allah subhanaw taala forgiveness.
Number two, you don't talk about your sin. You don't go and brag to
people I did this, I did this. You keep quiet. And thirdly, you don't
look for faults and mistakes of others.
You don't try and expose others because when you expose others
mistakes, Allah will expose yours. So those are the things when we
see something we should cover. The fourth Allah has put a sitter is
put a cover.
Each one of us knows
what we have done in our lives. And Allah knows.
And it is a subtle that we sit here and we respect each other. We
don't know what we have done only Allah knows. Now if I allow her to
remove this setup, maybe nobody will talk to each other.
So if Allah has put discover, leave it in fact, we should ask.
So that's what she should have done. But she didn't. She wants
you to get even with them.
Now why did they say he's an angel is with just his.
They've never seen an angel.
Of course, he had beauty, unsurpassed because Rasul Allah
salAllahu Alaihe. Salam saw Yosef, Alyssa
how
the Mirage
he saw use of a listener. And he said about him some La La La La
Silla.
That when Allah created beauty, he gave half of all the beauty to use
for the salon and the rest of it to the rest of the creation. So
the scholars have said, what that means is Allah subhanaw taala
created other Melissa with his own hands, Senator queen, the best
form of all of the beauty of other manners Allah, Allah subhanaw
taala gave half to use it and said half is for the rest of your
children. So something that we can't imagine, we will see you
suffer this inshallah.
So that's one, two, they noticed that he is so noble, that he is
not tempted by anything. He's not affected by anything. He is so
pure and innocent, that in spite of all that they're doing
their seduction. He has no clue. He is completely innocent like an
angel.
So that says, they recognize his inner beauty also, not just
external beauty. Because when we think of usefulness and his
beauty, it was not just his external beauty
because you can have a lot of extraordinarily beautiful people
who are completely corrupt when you don't want to have anything to
do with. So he was internally beautiful and that's even more
important than external beauty.
So Allah subhanaw taala has recorded all of this not just to
make it a juicy story, but to warn us about the dangers of these
elite societies where moral corruption prevails, and that we
should stay away and protect ourselves from such an
environment.
In today's age, they live we call them lifestyles of the rich and
the famous of the people of showbiz. And people look up to
them, you know, and they know everything about them, who is
doing what we do.
Our business as Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam teaches us from
the best of a person's Islam is to stay away from my Leilani What
does not concern
Darko leave What does not concern? Okay?
If you only knew what goes on internally in these circles, and
in the lives of these people, they have the most miserable of lives.
They have no peace, they have no tranquility, they have jealousies,
you don't know. You can trust your own wife, your own husband, what
they are doing. And that's what it is. That's why they are drinking
and they are doing drugs and they're committing suicides and
all of that. So this is just we should not be impressed by people
who have these things. Because it's a life of stress of misery of
deceit in every possible corruption.
Then Allah subhanaw taala says a next step what happens? harlot now
the wife of the Aziz takes the stage for that. For that they
couldn't Alladhina loom to nanny fee.
And he this is the one whose love you blamed me you criticize me for
it. This is the one
well a camera what to enough see.
For star summer, wala Ilam EF l man, moo la use Janin wala yaku
Nam Mina, sobering. Now everybody is in the same boat.
So she has nothing to hide.
All Filters removed. So now she comes out and says Do you know? So
this is what you were telling me? No. Look at your situation?
Yes, I did it. She confesses. I seduced Dr. To seduce him, I tried
to attack him.
And he pulled back he resisted.
She makes a clear admission because she has no fear. They
can't talk anymore. Because they're all in the same book. Now
look at the next step. She goes.
He said he firmly refused and resisted In other words, he said
no to me now the egos kicking. And if he does not do what I ordered
him to do, he will most certainly
lie use Jan Nana, that's the structure is that? Absolutely.
Without a doubt he will be imprisoned, he'll be thrown into a
prison. And he would be made solvating he's humiliating me. I
will have an humiliated, I'm going to have him disgraced.
So
again,
there is no higher.
There is no guilt. This is the woman who was told by her husband
asked for forgiveness. Does it look like she's doing Tober? No,
she wants what she wanted. She in fact, now she's saying she's not
just saying what she did she he will do whatever I want. Now
that's left open, whatever other ideas he has.
Now in this, there is partnership of the other women which is
implied because the next is will come. So again, no remorse, no
concern about the husband, only her lust
and all the other women are also they weren't part of the action.
So useful. esalaam is being treated as an object, obviously an
object to be used for their personal pleasures.
Now the test for use of Alyssa Lang stand up more
There was one woman beautiful woman now there are many women and
now what is the alternative?
You are going to prison and whatever else humiliation is
coming
remind means you're going to be thrown and the prisons that were
not the prisons we have here five star prisons where your basketball
but they were dungeons underground. Okay, so he was going
to go into another dark well
the young boy had come out to one dark well probably still suffered
trauma from that well where his brothers had thrown him
and now he's being threatened and this is what's gonna happen to you
again
call what is his response? Just remember, this is a young man.
He's not a mature adult like us. At this age. You know, we've seen
the world see young kid who is essentially homeless. He has been
taken away from his parents
and he's been treated as a slave and then this
and now this challenge
could be very easy to use. I don't want to go to prison.
Paula, Rob besieged new hub. A hub boo la mimma Yeah, don't own any
LA.
Call. He said. Robbie. First thing first time also when the woman
wanted. First thing he remembered is Rob.
Same thing is Rob beseiged you know I help a hobble is more
beloved to me. I prefer prison to me, Mila mimma. Yeah, the Rooney
in a to what they invite me to
the choice of his words. He doesn't even use the word he could
have said, Yala prison. I prefer to go to prison rather than
commit Zina.
He is so pure. He doesn't even want to use that word. He said
what they invite me to this is the level of his hierarchy. He cannot
get the words in AI even on his tongue.
This is the beauty and purity of usefulness.
Well, Ill * of Aniki the Hoonah ASBO us boo la Henault a
communal Jilin and then he asks, he said and if you do not remove
their plotting from me what they're plotting and what they're
scheming
he
is strong he is but he doesn't rely on his strength he said Yeah,
Allah
I might fall into that trap. I might be tempted I'm circumstances
might come where I have no choice. So I seek Your protection that you
remove their plotting and planning from me
because I may incline towards them. And then I would be a
coalminer, DGI lien I may become people who are ignorant. So what
is ignorant for us, most people ignorant means
uneducated.
This is ignorant of who is my Rob?
That I forgot at that moment that Allah is watching. So this is what
he says.
So use of Allah Salam has limited choices.
He has no social standing that like he has some connections, he's
a slave.
And these women are all powerful. They are threatening him.
So when you are overpowered, who do you turn to? And that's what we
are talking about. When we are all powered. Immediately you turn to
Allah subhanaw taala and that's what he does. And he shows his
faith
and his uprightness, wanting to do only the right thing for Allah
subhanaw taala but he does not have the arrogance to trust
himself and his abilities. He says yeah, Allah, if you don't remove
this from me, I might fall victim to this and then I would be lost
as an ignorant person
so he asks Allah subhanaw taala for an escape route. Yeah, Allah
saved me somehow,
even if it is a prison
so the lesson is, stay away from contacts and friendships of
indecent and sinful people where there is no higher
No matter how well too influential they are,
because being alone is better than being in that company and having a
good softball is better than being alone. Good companionship is very
very important for us
faster Java
faster Java Allahu Rabu.
The structure is
his Rob responded to him. But Allah puts Lagu to him first which
tells him exclusive to use of Allah salam ala responded to his
door.
So to him, his Lord responded answered his prayer.
For sarafa, and who guide the Hoonah and turned away from him
that cage they're plotting
in the who, who was semi all Alan, because indeed he is the one who
hears and he knows.
He was hearing all the conversations because they're all
recorded here. He hears all conversations, conversations that
we say out loud, that we whisper that we conversations we have in
our hearts, Allah, so he hears all of those, Eileen, he knows
everything, past present future.
Everything is known to him so Allah knows.
So Allah subhanaw taala, of course, heard his dog and said,
Allah responded to him and removed that thing from him.
Now one would think if Allah wanted to remove that thing,
what would be the easiest thing to do?
expose all the women to the people, then something would
happen.
But Allah allows
use of a listener to be sent to prison
unjustly
and he calls it that Allah responded to his bar. Now you
think about that. Who would think that spending seven years in
prison is a gift from Allah?
But remember, that Allah subhanaw taala always protects and he
extends his health, his protection for those who have outpolled His
commands.
Whoever upholds the commands of Allah subhanaw taala.
And guards the prohibitions, Allah will protect
internally in his heart from sinful thoughts and sinful things
and externally from things. This is that famous Hadith so Abdullah
and Nimbus were Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said to me,
Abdullah, or young man, Allah.
Protect Allah and Allah will protect what that means is protect
the commandments, the LM L,
and the Nike, the prohibitions of Allah, Allah and Allah.
So, Allah subhanaw taala says he protected and he gave him an out
from this challenge by allowing him to be put in prison unjustly
for many years.
Allah does things in unique ways. Nobody else would have said okay,
we'll bail you out. How by putting you in prison. But this is our
last one tele dusting. Now, suppose we know the rest of the
story. Suppose use of SLM did not go into prison, what would have
happened
to boys, he wouldn't have met those two boys. Nobody there would
have known that he has the power to interpret dreams. When the
famine came, he would still be sitting in the prison when the
famine came, nothing would be done. 1000s of people would die of
starvation.
But Allah put him in prison made certain sequence certain dominoes
to fall, ultimately leading and out of the prison, taking him to a
place of power,
making him the Secretary of Treasury
and saving 1000s of people from dying of starvation
from going into prison, but when you look at it on the surface, it
looks like great injustice or a terrible
position to be in.
Some bodalla member they may or will Yachty yes Junoon who had
then it appeared to them now Allah smart Allah says Love doesn't say
Laguna the women means the husbands found out why? Everybody
finds the wife's hands cut what happened.
So the words got to the husband is
Now the husband said, we need to do damage control. We can't let
this get out because we all be disgraced. So they got together so
much by Darla whom it appeared to them. Whom means men and women,
the decision makers, the elite of the society what
they're all as even though the Saudi is the signs, what signs of
his innocence even that she had, with our own tongue admitted all
of this?
What did they decide to do? What appeared that this is appropriate
layers, you know, at times died, put him in prison for a period of
time. Obviously, he was not going to go there for three months,
because if he got out three months later, something would get exposed
again. So they said, throw him in prison is sort of dispensable.
Nobody is a slave who cares? So he goes to prison.
So this was the safest course to stop the scandal from spreading
and blame the innocent and the ordinary slave and said he was
punished.
So they preserve that false reputation of being elite and
noble families and wives, and all of that. So was there injustice
done? Of course, there's great injustice, you know.
But just remember, if injustice is done to you,
while you're doing the right thing, and you're guarding the
rights of Allah,
sooner or later, Allah will turn things
not as,
as long as you are doing the right if you do the wrong things,
and then all bets are off.
So under no matter what circumstances
we have,
we are exposed to we do not
retaliate.
For something wrong with wrong if somebody is doing one. We don't do
volume.
Unless one color says it Fabula T isin.
Repel evil with good
we have to stick to what our Sharia says including rules about.
So if you're doing the right thing, and you see terrible things
happening to you,
don't lose hope. Have patience, wait for the far edge from Allah
subhanaw taala wait from that opening when Allah subhanaw taala
has great plan will start to unfold.
In this remember, if you the harder the difficulty you were
subjected to the greater the ease
now you have in the darkness of this dungeon,
a light
use of a lesser
person of pure noble of luck
that the flower has values do not change no matter what environment
he is in.
Whether it's in the prison, whether it's in the palaces,
anywhere he is it doesn't even change when he becomes the
minister himself.
holds fast to his values. That's what the lesson for us is that we
have to hold fast to our values of our deen no matter what
environment we are putting
Allah subhanaw taala says what what Tassimo we humbly Jimmy,
Willa,
hold on fast to the rope of Allah. together all of you Muslims and be
not divided. What is the rope of Allah? Quran and the Sunnah
of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said difficult times will come in
the end. He said hold on to it by your molar teeth like you grip
something with your teeth don't let it go
that in the valleys of your day
and we are going through challenges
not just physical challenges of war, but challenges against the
faith challenges of values challenges of the so called
liberal system of society where anything goes.
You can be whatever you want.
Not all talking about in a novel way.
In an evil way.
Now the scene changes we go from the palaces into the dungeons into
the prison
what the fella Mao's cijena for the Yanni Carla had the humor in
the Irani sir hombre will call Oprah in Arani Milla Folker see
Hobbs and tuck Kulu, tyramine,
a beginner with wheelie in an Urraca Minal Marcin.
So when he is thrown in prison, two other people are being young
men are being
probably slaves being thrown in the prison. So they meet up there.
And one of them says to him,
he's never met him before. He says to me, you know, I saw in a dream
that I'm pressing wine, I'm making wine.
And the other one said, Oh, I had a dream, too. That I'm getting

Okay, you had a dream. Now what happened? No, they stole this
dream to use of Allah salaam, a stranger.
And they say, tell us about the interpretation of these dreams.
How do they know?
How do they know that he can interpret dreams?
That's only known to jacobellis Allah, even his brothers don't
know that.
In none, Naraka mineral Masini because we see something special
in you.
You seem like Mycenae noble, beautiful,
nor you have something special. And these people are seeing it.
Women said he's an angel. They're seeing something special. So just
for that, they said, You must be somebody special. Tell us what you
think.
Now comes an interesting part
of surah. Yusuf is dedicated to use of escena.
about him, but there are conversations where he says a few
things. For example, in the beginning, he said to his father,
oh my father, yeah, but I saw
stars in the sun and moon,
one liner.
When he is accused of this, he doesn't go into a long
explanation. He says she desired me. That's it everywhere when he
talks it's a one line. But now you have aisle after aisle after aisle
four ions of long conversation of what use of an SLM say,
this was set in prison
to two prisoners. Allah subhanaw taala in his wisdom has made this
a permanent record in Lucha MagForce and in the Quran, to be
read till the day of judgment of what did you say to the two
prisoners? Isn't it amazing?
There must be something special about this.
Imagine on the Day of Judgment
use as well as salam comes
and he sees his conversation recorded on the Quran.
Completely word for word. What kind of honor that would be right.
So there is something special about all the things that happen
now just think take the scene
from one thing you think things can get worse they get worse can
get worse. They get now he's thrown there with all injustice.
Any normal person would have said what Yeah, Allah or what is this?
Why me? What did I do? Did I keep going through this? No.
He's asked
and he gives you what is inside him? He exposes what is in his
heart. For law he said law T con law yet T coma Tom Armen tours

Catherine. He said Your food will not come to you. In other words,
the prisoners would get a meal whenever he said before that meal
before your that provision comes to you. I will tell you
okay, he immediately didn't answer the dream. He said I'll tell you.
I'll tell you and you won't have to wait long because you know
you're the mail will come but I will tell you what is what is the
interpretation before the food comes and then he
gives them Dawa.
He's giving Dawa towards the last one hotel and the prisoner look at
the methodology. So he said, Yeah, you want that? I'll give you the
answer. But let's have a small conversation. And it's not about,
you know, look what they did to me.
Look, what did this nothing.
First he says,
This is that which My Lord has taught me, what you see of
goodness, that you think I can interpret this. He doesn't say,
you know, that's me. He says, this is the knowledge this is a gift
from Allah subhanaw taala. So he acknowledges Allah subhanaw taala.
And
shows chakra by acknowledging one way of acknowledging or showing
sugar is to acknowledge something that is from Allah.
And then he starts it out by saying, Indeed, I have abandoned
the religion of a people means the people of Egypt, that believed not
a number. So he's not crushing their religion versus I have
abandoned what they believe in. And they are disbelievers in the
hereafter. So he's indirectly saying they don't believe in
Allah. They don't believe in the hereafter. So I've left the
tradition. Okay. So it's not a direct attack against them. You're
saying in a negative in a way that I have left this?
And then he says,
So where do I go?
What to me?
Ibrahima what is her Kawhia Kuba McCann, Elena, Lucia Kabila? I
mean, Shane, then coming for de la Hey, Elena Alana Sevilla, kynoch,
Varanasi, la.
He says, What do I do I have left that fit your the fate of the
people. He he doesn't even say the people of Egypt. He said of a
comb. They're insignificant because they don't believe it
doesn't say, Oh, the great nation of Egypt. He said cool.
People
What avato And I have followed millet, Oba II, the religion of my
father, Ibrahim isarco, Jaco proudly claims that heritage. Now
these people don't know who Ibrahim is Alcon and Jacobi. He
doesn't care. But he's telling them that those are our people.
Makana and how are we different MacConnell Ana Lucia Erica bIllahi
min che.
We are unique. It is not right for us that we could ever associate
anything in partnership with this is how we are unique.
So he's taking pride in his heritage and pride in the fact
that we're people of Hades. We don't do shit. That's our
nobility, not the pharaohs and his chaos and whoever the kings were,
you know, whatever they do in because people think that's
normal. He is proudly saying you want to know what nobility is.
Nobility is my lineage. My great grandfather, my grandfather, my
father. This is why what is our claim to fame? Even though you
don't know. They were more Whitehead. He didn't even say they
were Ambia or Russell. He said they their nobility was to hate.
It is not befitting for us to ever have any partnership with Allah
subhanaw taala.
And that they come in fatherly law again, and this is from the Grace
of Allah that He gave us the heat. He didn't allow us to become
Bushwick. This is the father of Allah Hussain, who was an ABI of
Allah subhanaw taala okay. This is the father of Allah subhanaw taala
Allah's grace upon us. And what Allah NAS in and for mankind means
this grace is available to you to all of mankind.
If you want to take it, we're lacking knack for a NASA large but
the majority of people are not grateful they don't take this
great gift basket. They reject
your socks Sahiba Yes, Sydney Arbab boom with the federal corner
harem. amila. Who's
next after that or he? He presents an argument he says all my
companions of the present
are bobbum buffer raccoon malt.
He said are many different lords are Bob.
Better or Allah?
Better or Allah? Allah hidden kaha
the one and irresistible
so
People have had multiple gods that their worship.
You know we have polities we have people living in Indian
subcontinent is the Greek mythology, multiple gods God for
this God for this god for that he says on multiple gods better
lords.
On one, the argument is, if you have multiple masters or multiple
bosses or multiple lords, you cannot make them happy. Why?
Because one says something one says something else, if you make
this one happy, the other is unhappy, and so on, so forth. If
you take orders from many people, you don't know who you can make
happy, you make one happy, the others unhappy. So this is the
argument he is seeing. And when we talk about Arbab, it's not just
items in are relevant to us is all the systems that we are exposed to
capitalism, power and dunya. And in my own how I you know, this is
the custom of our country and you know, this is politically correct.
These are all systems are about anything that you give up
and submit to, that goes against Allah has ordered, you have taken
us around, including yourself, Allah subhanaw taala says, and
they have taken their own Hawaii has their own their own desires
and inclinations. So he says, Who is better? And then he says, other
than Allah, Allah had the one.
The one
somebody might argue you've got one God, we've got many gods.
Many gods can overcome one. Right? This is how we think like human
beings.
The word Allah had in the Quran occurs in four places.
Every time I'll why it comes. It is attached to another word name
of Allah, which is it
every time allow his alcohol just because he is alone, don't think
he can be overpowered. He is the irresistible. He overpowers
everything, and why the alcohol and why the alcohol always
together. So this is what he says. So don't have any misconception
because he is one that
we are better off we have many gods.
Then he says it takes it
next level.
So right now he's not attacking their gods. He's just telling his
own story and making an argument. But then he goes up next notch.
Now he talks directly to them. This is his method of Dawa and
this is what we learn.
Math taboo, do not mean doing a hit, a smell and some Made to Move
some mighty moolah and talk about
what you worship now he's telling
those two people what you worship other than Allah
nothing except names you have made up their false, you and your
parents now he's even attacking the parents because frequently
people that this is what we found our parents doing and
grandparents, right. We follow the religion of said they were also
misguided, they were wrong and you're wrong. Manzil Allah will be
harming Sultan, Allah has not authorized this
in an hochma elearning.
There is only one authority which is with
with Allah, Amara, Allah abou Illa iya and He has commanded that you
worship none other than Him. Danica Dino, and this is the
straight path we lack in Aqsa Nursey lion, but the majority of
people do not.
So in for liars he gives a stratified wise Dawa towards the
Tawheed of Allah subhanaw taala in prison he takes this opportunity
and this is not unusual Do you know where most of the conversions
take place in our country here
because they're starting to think
so imagine somebody goes in for a crime they committed to prison and
comes out as a Muslim what a gift that prison sentence was
looking at things in a different way
and somebody else
illegally gets rid of others and becomes the king palaces palaces.
To look how lucky no it's not
because I love a disgrace a person.
In a lot orders be people like this
Then after all of this, now he finally comes to interpretation of
their dreams. He said, Yeah, Sahadeva your Sydney
Mahadeo coma for USB rubber camera, but a magneto for use
level for Ty Roman say he put the camera * feet, the stuff the
he said all my companions, as for the one who saw the dream of
pressing the why you will pour out wine to your rub your master, you
will be a servant of somebody big and he became the servant of the
king, serving him why?
And which means you will be saved. And then see as for the other, He
will be crucified.
He will be sentenced to death because they were going to be
tried, they were in prison for certain crimes, you will be tried
and you will be crucified and hung up there. And the birds will eat
the vultures will come
that sentence and told him that is how the case has been decided.
Concerning what you asked. So one was given a death sentence when he
was given them that's what happened.
Now
then you said to the one who he knew was going to live and
ServiceMaster will call a little lady one unknown. Imagine min
Homer with Courtney in the Rebecca
for answer who shaytani vichara de la vita is Sydney with Sydney. And
he said to the one who he knew would be saved, mentioned me
mentioned my case in the presence of your master because you're
going to be serving somebody important.
mentioned why so that they can look into the situation and know
that I'm innocent and get me out. So tell them about my case.
But shaytan made him forget to mention us.
So he remained in prison for several years
with us in anywhere from like three to nine year timeframe but
historians say it's about seven years he spent in prison, which is
not a short time.
So he did he used us Bob
said pension it
and it is said that Chopin made him forget
till when till that time when the king sees the dream.
Some people have because this can be read in different ways have
given another
translation of this. They said shaitan made him forget means made
use of forget his Lord, to mention it to his Lord.
And therefore, not ask Is that his help and so he remained in prison
Allahu Allah, I prefer the first interpretation because use of a
lesser lambs character is not one way forget some
including Shetlands attacks.
So we have in summary, a remarkable, composed young man who
has been repeatedly traumatized and abandoned
and slaved imprisoned for no fault of his own he makes use of his
time in prison in giving Dawa to Allah subhanaw taala with wisdom
using a particular sequence starting with gratitude of sugar
of Allah subhanaw taala
we have to remember always to be a shocker, shocker and subvert those
are two things and they are linked to each other. How is sugar linked
to sub
anybody
southern
sugar leads to several why? Because if you're truly shocking
means you recognize all of the blessings of Allah
and you know all the favors Allah has done. So when a difficult time
comes
you said yeah Allah so many grace and favors on me. This will also
pass
right so one leads into the other.
So always, may Allah make us among the shattering
So the first thing in recognizing Allah subhanaw taala when you're
giving power to somebody remind them of the favours of Allah
subhanaw taala so they may become grateful.
And the Dawa starts with positive don't give Dawa you know, okay,
you're doing this you're going to burn in Johanna that's not there.
Okay?
Tell them about the grace of Allah his favorites is forgiveness all
of that
make them love Allah subhanaw taala before you put the fear in
them, okay here is necessary for some people, but
positive reinforcement need for gratitude, and then his negation
of the people that were there, the favor of Tawheed which we should
think within ourselves. How grateful Am I that Allah has made
me made us move ahead, people have taught hate, and not people have
shipped to nothing that we did. Allah just gave it to us as a
gift. And sometimes when the gift is given without any struggle, we
don't have value for it. This is the greatest of all gifts to be a
person of the hate to be then on top of that to be in the amount of
Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam prayer on
the best of nations.
How grateful are we for that?
Think I've covered most of the other points.
So the last part here is that we must take advantage of whatever
opportunity Allah subhanaw taala gives us and use your challenge.
Your wisdom can call people to Allah with a noble character, have
a noble character and care about people as he did.
So Inshallah, that's where we will end today's session.
And we ask Allah subhanaw taala to help us understand the lessons and
to put them in our lives and
to open the hearing channels of our hearts to understand his
words. And
to teach those first practice and then to teach our children and to
show by our actions that we are people of the Quran
