Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala to attend moto Salim ala Sayidina Imam ina Wahhabi been a bill Kasim Mohammed Abdullah, WA the early he was soft behavior Tabea Ian woman tambahan BSN Elohim with Deen Subhanak Allah Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Allah Allah, Tala in Tel Hollywood Hakeem Robicheaux honey sundry WASC, Emery Washington. That's me, Lisa. Holly I praise Allah Almighty and I send prayers and blessings upon Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his noble family, righteous companions and all those follow them with the right guidance until the day of judgment. I mean, glory be to you Allah and knowledge have we accept that which you have

00:00:43--> 00:00:52

taught us? Indeed, you are the All Knowing the all wise, my dear brothers and sisters, as salaam aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakato.

00:00:54--> 00:00:56

I hope everyone is doing well.

00:00:57--> 00:01:06

We will continue talking about the cause of Palestine today. And everything that we see happening.

00:01:08--> 00:01:14

The immense corruption and tyranny and terrorism.

00:01:15--> 00:01:19

All remind us of the verses of Surah Surah.

00:01:22--> 00:01:30

The talk about how many Israel are going to corrupt in the land

00:01:31--> 00:01:32

and tyrannized

00:01:33--> 00:01:34

twice.

00:01:35--> 00:01:40

So he mentioned to if sads. To Lulu,

00:01:41--> 00:01:44

if sad corruption or aloo,

00:01:45--> 00:01:48

tyranny, oppression, persecution.

00:01:50--> 00:01:52

These verses are not easy.

00:01:53--> 00:02:00

And therefore to be honest, first of all, we need to humble ourselves to Allah subhanaw taala.

00:02:02--> 00:02:04

humble ourselves to Him,

00:02:05--> 00:02:07

humble ourselves to the Quran.

00:02:08--> 00:02:23

humble ourselves to this knowledge. So it's not just somebody coming in two minutes telling you Oh, this is the meaning of the ayat of surah surah. If someone speaks like that, you know that they know very little. Okay.

00:02:24--> 00:02:32

And this is why you will find quite a bit of differences of opinion between scholars about

00:02:33--> 00:02:42

these verses. And therefore we remind ourselves of the iron sword early on Ron, where Allah subhanaw taala said, Well, that was a realignment of origins, beloved

00:02:43--> 00:02:48

one, when I land moto Wheeler, who law

00:02:49--> 00:02:54

and no one knows its interpretation except Allah.

00:02:55--> 00:03:03

The true interpretation, only Allah knows. This, of course does not mean that we are saying

00:03:05--> 00:03:15

that the Quran is somehow so esoteric, that there are things that no one can understand. That's not what we're saying.

00:03:16--> 00:03:18

But there will be differences of opinion.

00:03:19--> 00:03:53

And that's why in that ayah Allah subhanaw taala talks about the Kemet the clear verses as opposed to and muta shall be had verses that are not so clear. And that's why he says at the end of that iron one i Allah Muto Willa who Illa Allah and no one knows its interpretation, true interpretation, complete interpretation except Allah subhana wa taala. And this seems very appropriate when we talk about the ayat of surah surah.

00:03:54--> 00:04:15

But here we are not doing a regular traditional tafsir where we are going through the ayat and we are going through it one idea after another and one word after another, but rather we're looking at it more from a topical perspective, a thematic perspective okay. What is also called FCL, Madurai, our topic

00:04:16--> 00:04:22

our subject is the corruption and tyranny of Benissa.

00:04:24--> 00:04:31

And we want to try to prove that in light of the verses of Surah Al Israa.

00:04:32--> 00:04:38

The verses of Surah Tilly Surat tell us that Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:04:39--> 00:04:42

informed many Surah Al

00:04:43--> 00:04:52

that would allow me to share Tara James Miller Jorge Wakaba in in Benny straw EULA Phil keytab. Lead to say do nothing or the Murata

00:04:53--> 00:04:59

that ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala informed in one interpretation, or Deque

00:05:00--> 00:05:02

Read and another

00:05:05--> 00:05:06

to Benny Surah eel

00:05:07--> 00:05:11

in the book that they will

00:05:12--> 00:05:15

spread corruption in the land

00:05:17--> 00:05:18

twice.

00:05:20--> 00:05:22

And you will perform

00:05:23--> 00:05:24

tyranny.

00:05:25--> 00:05:30

So, corruption and tyranny in the land twice.

00:05:31--> 00:05:37

What are these two times? Can we try to

00:05:39--> 00:05:50

estimate what it is when it happened? And what exactly is being talked about here? Because it's talking about something

00:05:51--> 00:05:52

that

00:05:53--> 00:05:56

would happen in the future.

00:05:59--> 00:06:22

Because it's a premonition of something that hasn't happened yet. Understandably, there may be differences of opinion. And scholars in different eras might differ about what exactly that is. Think about the situation have many of them have a serene at times, where Ben Ben Israel were completely

00:06:24--> 00:06:27

and utterly persecuted and weak.

00:06:29--> 00:06:33

So understandably, they will understand those verses

00:06:35--> 00:06:38

being something that happened in the past in history.

00:06:40--> 00:06:52

And with that, let us dive into that history and try to explore a little bit more, and then we will come back in sha Allah,

00:06:54--> 00:07:14

after the era of Moses, peace be upon him. And we're talking a lot about when Israel and their stories and everything that's happening with Prophet Musa alayhis salam in Surah Al Baqarah. We know a lot of what happened there. After now the death of Musa alayhis salam.

00:07:16--> 00:07:22

They, under the leadership of Prophet Joshua, you shocked the noon,

00:07:23--> 00:07:26

they were able to enter Jericho rehab.

00:07:28--> 00:07:44

According to many scholars, they did not get to Jerusalem for Al Majid Al Aqsa, but what they conquered was a rehab, Jericho. So they entered the land of Palestine, and were victorious under the leadership of Prophet Joshua.

00:07:46--> 00:07:52

The period now that came afterwards was the period of the judges.

00:07:53--> 00:08:18

And you find in the Bible, the Old Testament, the book of Judges, this was a period where they didn't have rulers, the rulers were judges. And this lasted for some 150 200 years or so, remember, all of these dates are fairly approximate because this is all we are talking now, BC. Notice.

00:08:19--> 00:08:42

This is all in the BCE period. Okay? So that's why the dates will start out quite high, and then they're getting lower and lower. Okay, it's opposite of what we're used to. So we're talking about the period approximately, around 1200 1100 You had the period where the rulers were judges

00:08:44--> 00:09:08

and during that time as well, when Israel continued to become corrupt, and to go further and further away from Allah subhanaw taala just like happened with Prophet Musa Ali Salah, the improve and then they go back to their iniquities, and then they go back and so on, and it was this Yo yo, and it continues this yo yoing Okay, so

00:09:10--> 00:09:31

during the time of Prophet Musa and then afterwards during the time of the judges, they continued, and they fell into idolatry and committed sins and continued to distance themselves from Allah subhanaw taala until the time

00:09:33--> 00:09:46

of what is believed to be prophet Samuel, according to them, prophet Samuel, so now remember, we're talking around 1000 BCE, okay.

00:09:49--> 00:09:55

They came now to prophet Samuel. And they said to him, that they want a king

00:09:57--> 00:09:59

and this is recorded in the Quran.

00:10:00--> 00:10:06

May Allah give us life, so that we can get to that save near the end of Surah Al Baqarah.

00:10:08--> 00:10:09

They might take a few years

00:10:11--> 00:10:12

unlucky.

00:10:14--> 00:10:15

That is when recorded

00:10:17--> 00:10:37

at the end of Surah Al Baqarah. How they asked their prophet in the Quran and just says their Prophet, they asked him to appoint a king. So he told them that Allah subhanaw taala has appointed by lute as a king over them, King song

00:10:39--> 00:10:41

known as King salt or Lotus saw,

00:10:42--> 00:11:03

of course, they protested and they didn't want him and he's not worthy, and so on and so forth. But he said to them, Allah subhanaw taala has chosen him, and has privileged him over you in several different ways. And there is a very important sign

00:11:04--> 00:11:28

through which you will know that he is the one who deserves to be your king. And this is the return of the Ark of the Covenant in which they had all those important memorabilia of Prophet Musa and prophet Harun Allah, he must set up what is the Ark of the Covenant going to return, because they lost it.

00:11:30--> 00:11:43

Because there are enemies that they were fighting during this period, from the Philistines, and the Canaanites, and others, they were there was a lot of fighting during this time.

00:11:46--> 00:12:03

Their punishment was that they lost the Ark of the Covenant. The sign now of King Saul was that he was going to return the covenant to them. And indeed Allah returned it to them in sha Allah, we will get to those verses.

00:12:05--> 00:12:09

After that, now, during the time of King Saul,

00:12:11--> 00:12:13

there was a very important war.

00:12:14--> 00:12:28

And the Quran tells us how, then again, they were asked, now would you fight with King Saul, you didn't fight with Moses, peace be upon him? Are you going to fight now with King Saul?

00:12:31--> 00:12:36

Amongst those who fought under the leadership of King Saul was a young boy.

00:12:38--> 00:12:46

A very brave young boy named David, none other than profit that would allocate salah.

00:12:47--> 00:12:56

This young boy now is the one who was able to kill this arch enemy. Goliath.

00:12:57--> 00:12:59

Okay of the Philistines

00:13:01--> 00:13:13

Wakata Elijah would dilute. By the way. Interestingly, this seems to be something of a debate. And historians and scientists

00:13:15--> 00:13:21

claim that actually the one who killed him maybe someone else and not David.

00:13:22--> 00:13:56

And they claim that the Bible is incorrect in claiming that we have the Quran and the Quran is very clear. David is the one who killed Goliath and the story, none of the archaeological evidence or anything else. Eventually it will all show that the one who killed Goliath was none other than that would add his Salah. So now the Jews are entering the period, a very important period of King Saul and King David.

00:13:58--> 00:14:02

Of course we recognize him as a prophet and the king is to be upon him.

00:14:04--> 00:14:09

And later King and Prophet Sulayman are the HEMA seller.

00:14:10--> 00:14:18

Now we're talking about the period around 1040 BC. Okay.

00:14:19--> 00:14:20

What,

00:14:21--> 00:14:36

of course, after that would killed, dilute and after he grew up? This ushered in the very important period for them, which is the United Kingdom,

00:14:37--> 00:14:43

also known as the United monarchy of King David and King Solomon.

00:14:45--> 00:14:55

A highly celebrated time in their history, because this now is the first major Jewish Kingdom

00:14:58--> 00:14:59

This lasted

00:15:00--> 00:15:05

from approximately 1010 or so,

00:15:06--> 00:15:10

all the way up until 930 BCE,

00:15:12--> 00:15:17

which was the date of the death of prophets Sulaiman Alayhi. Salam,

00:15:19--> 00:15:19

approximately.

00:15:21--> 00:15:22

So this kingdom

00:15:23--> 00:15:36

may have lasted for some 80 years or so from 1010 all the way until 930 or 926, give or take, there's a lot of plus or minus here, okay? Approximately that

00:15:37--> 00:15:44

you but this was a time of great strength and splendor.

00:15:45--> 00:15:52

80 years of power under kings, David, and Solomon, the United monarch.

00:15:54--> 00:15:59

What happened after that is that there started to be infighting.

00:16:00--> 00:16:05

They started to be problems between them.

00:16:06--> 00:16:12

Upon the death of Suleiman Ali salaam, the one who took over was Rohan Rehoboam.

00:16:13--> 00:16:25

As as mentioned in the Bible, but the Jews did not all except him as leader. So the United Kingdom now split into two,

00:16:26--> 00:16:28

one in the north called Israel

00:16:29--> 00:16:32

and one in the south called Judah.

00:16:33--> 00:16:34

Okay.

00:16:36--> 00:16:42

Around 930 BCE, so now we are entering a period of weakness.

00:16:45--> 00:16:45

Israel

00:16:47--> 00:16:49

remain that way.

00:16:50--> 00:16:58

Again, the problems the idolatry, the corruption, the sins, you name it.

00:16:59--> 00:17:04

Israel continued that way until the year 722 BC.

00:17:07--> 00:17:11

When the Assyrians came

00:17:12--> 00:17:12

and

00:17:14--> 00:17:15

conquered it,

00:17:16--> 00:17:19

the king of Assyria actually

00:17:21--> 00:17:24

came and conquered Israel in 722 BC.

00:17:27--> 00:17:31

Judah, on the other hand, continued for quite a bit longer.

00:17:32--> 00:17:48

Do the continued until the year 586 Or so we see the time of the Babylonian captivity, when number Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia came and conquered them.

00:17:50--> 00:18:04

So you had Israel and Judah, Israel was conquered in 722. And Judah was conquered then in 586 BC 590 And then the captivity happened in 586 BC.

00:18:07--> 00:18:33

This is now where we go back to the AI are talking about Elif said, Allah subhanaw taala said I will be learning the chatango gene Smilla Rahmanir Rahim work although you know, Danny is all he left in kita de la to have seen nothing I'll be my router anyone. No one can hear all that either.

00:18:35--> 00:18:38

Houma la comida de la learner will

00:18:39--> 00:18:42

share the eating hedgers who

00:18:44--> 00:18:45

dare work

00:18:53--> 00:18:57

when we are looking now, for the if set

00:18:59--> 00:19:01

and the subsequent punishment

00:19:02--> 00:19:10

so Allah mentions corruption and tyranny but then he mentioned the punishment when that the promise comes of that first one.

00:19:12--> 00:19:15

Allah subhanaw taala is going to send upon them

00:19:16--> 00:19:25

servants of his and they will enter into the homes for joy Sookie Lila the up what kind of Adam

00:19:26--> 00:19:31

and it was a promise fulfilled. This was now the first destruction

00:19:32--> 00:19:33

the first punishment.

00:19:37--> 00:19:44

Clearly, the first time of strength and power is the United Kingdom.

00:19:47--> 00:19:58

But this was a time of strength and power under these prophets peace be upon them. After that, after the split, we started to see the corruption

00:20:00--> 00:20:04

We started to see the tyranny, you started to see bloodshed.

00:20:06--> 00:20:07

This is,

00:20:08--> 00:20:14

or this LED now to the destruction of Israel and then the destruction of Judah.

00:20:15--> 00:20:21

In the case of the destruction of Israel, what they call the temple was not destroyed.

00:20:23--> 00:20:38

So they call the Temple of Solomon, the first temple from the time of the United Kingdom. The temple was destroyed during the time of Nebuchadnezzar when he conquered Judah in 586.

00:20:39--> 00:20:54

That's when he destroyed the temple. And he took 10s of 1000s of Jews in captivity to Babylonia. Okay, this is why many of them have a serene

00:20:57--> 00:21:10

interpret the first if sad, and the first tyranny by this by the punishment that was sent upon them, which was Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BC.

00:21:13--> 00:21:24

This is the opinion of many of the university. And this is the opinion of scholars of the Bible as well, because you find this in the Bible.

00:21:26--> 00:21:30

So, the Bible talks about Nebuchadnezzar.

00:21:31--> 00:21:45

But not only that, this home first itself, first corruption and tyranny seems to be something that was prophesied and mentioned by some of their profits.

00:21:46--> 00:21:50

So you had profit that would alayhi salam,

00:21:52--> 00:21:57

according to them in the Bible, in the Psalms, David

00:21:58--> 00:22:38

is the one who says that Israel, the Benny's Rocky, for sea had forsaken the Lord Allah, the mention of as Allah, of course, forsaken their Lord, their God. And they had done iniquities and they had fell into idolatry and other things. So David himself, now he's talking about how they have angered their Lord, and that their Lord is angry with his inheritance, his people, right, the Jews defending slavery,

00:22:39--> 00:22:46

and that they are going to be punished for it. Interestingly, then we see some of the later prophets.

00:22:47--> 00:22:50

We mentioned before prophet Isaiah,

00:22:51--> 00:22:54

Prophet Jeremiah, prophet Ezekiel,

00:22:56--> 00:23:02

all of them, they have a book, each of them has a book in the Bible to their name.

00:23:03--> 00:23:09

Isaiah talks to them, and he says, Ah, you pitiful nation.

00:23:11--> 00:23:29

And he started insulting them, seeds of iniquity and idolatrous people, you have forgotten your Lord, You have forsaken your Lord, you have done this and this and this, and that you should wait for the the punishment.

00:23:31--> 00:23:34

Jeremiah actually tells them

00:23:36--> 00:23:40

that you should not resist Nebuchadnezzar.

00:23:42--> 00:23:51

What Why, here's this tyrant and he's coming to destroy when he serene and their nation and destroy the temple.

00:23:52--> 00:24:14

The Bible says very clearly, this is Allah's punishment for them. This is God's punishment for them. So they should not resist it either. And God says, In the Bible, in the Old Testament, God says that whoever resists Nebuchadnezzar, Allah will punish them and destroy them.

00:24:16--> 00:24:19

In other words, you have no choice. This is your punishment.

00:24:20--> 00:24:33

So Jeremiah tells them, don't resist. Don't listen to your diviners, and your soothsayers and your false prophets who are telling you that he will not conquer he will, and you cannot do anything about it.

00:24:36--> 00:24:45

Ezekiel, chastise them as well, how interesting it is that all three of these prophets were killed.

00:24:47--> 00:24:59

These three were some of the prophets that were killed by many Surah Al as we mentioned before, notice the connection, these prophets that were

00:25:00--> 00:25:05

Were chastising them and realize how iniquitous they've become and sinful

00:25:06--> 00:25:18

and they were trying to bring them back to their Lord, those are the ones that they killed, they cannot accept anyone telling them what to do or that they have strayed from the path of their Lord.

00:25:27--> 00:25:28

Furthermore,

00:25:30--> 00:25:31

interestingly

00:25:34--> 00:25:35

in the

00:25:37--> 00:25:42

some of the books which are not accepted as canonical and as part of the Bible

00:25:43--> 00:25:53

also known as in this case for the Old Testament, the Old Testament pseudo epic Rafa

00:25:56--> 00:25:57

it

00:25:58--> 00:26:00

is a

00:26:02--> 00:26:02

letter

00:26:04--> 00:26:08

that Musa Ali Salam left for you SHA for Joshua

00:26:09--> 00:26:14

and in it it's kind of like I will see to him

00:26:15--> 00:26:18

in it, he tells him

00:26:19--> 00:26:19

that

00:26:21--> 00:26:24

the Jews the Bani Israel

00:26:27--> 00:26:33

will become corrupt and they will be punished by a king from the east

00:26:36--> 00:26:40

and later on they will be punished through a king from the west.

00:26:42--> 00:26:50

But this is not in the Bible. This is pseudo epic Rafa. So it is they don't consider it canonical, but it is interesting, you will find it there.

00:26:54--> 00:27:21

So, when we say what Kadena when he saw 11 kitab. Yes, some scholars said Al Kitab. Here could mean a lotion by for the Preserved Tablet, that this is something that Allah decreed from before the creations of the heavens and the earth. But many scholars have said no, the Kitab here is the Torah. Allah told them in the uncorrupted camera that you are going to perform this if sad

00:27:23--> 00:27:26

and this tyranny twice in the land.

00:27:27--> 00:27:32

So Allah informed them, and we can see what the Bible is mentioning here.

00:27:33--> 00:27:36

It's very clear with regards to Nebuchadnezzar

00:27:38--> 00:27:43

and even some of the maybe pseudo canonical books

00:27:44--> 00:27:46

will cover infill, Kitab.

00:27:49--> 00:27:51

Latif, see dune field or the Mirage

00:27:55--> 00:27:56

after that,

00:27:59--> 00:27:59

Allah

00:28:01--> 00:28:04

Alaikum i madeleina.

00:28:05--> 00:28:07

This caused much confusion

00:28:10--> 00:28:11

I'm a bad learner,

00:28:12--> 00:28:14

we will send upon you

00:28:15--> 00:28:17

servants of Ours.

00:28:21--> 00:28:24

A lot of people especially nowadays

00:28:25--> 00:28:42

find difficulty accepting that the first destruction and the first corruption and tyranny of 2018 was what was just mentioned, and that the one sent upon them was Nebuchadnezzar because Nebuchadnezzar is a character.

00:28:44--> 00:28:50

He is not a true servant of Allah subhanaw taala. He's not a pious servant of Allah.

00:28:51--> 00:29:00

So many people will understand especially nowadays the IDI the learner is referring to Muslims, that it cannot possibly refer to Kufa

00:29:02--> 00:29:05

right by the learner, servants of Ours.

00:29:07--> 00:29:14

Of course, the fairly easy retort would be

00:29:15--> 00:29:22

everyone is a servant of Allah. Either they are brothers and sisters, kids that come along

00:29:26--> 00:29:30

whether they are servants willingly or unwillingly, right?

00:29:31--> 00:29:41

The Muslims are willful servants to Allah subhanaw taala. The kuffaar are the servants of Allah, they are slaves of Allah, but unwillingly

00:29:42--> 00:29:43

right, but one

00:29:46--> 00:29:47

that's an easy retort.

00:29:49--> 00:29:57

So Nebuchadnezzar is a disbeliever. Yes. But he's still a servant of Allah in the sense that he's still the slave of Allah.

00:29:58--> 00:29:59

Though he himself

00:30:00--> 00:30:03

does not concur and admitted.

00:30:05--> 00:30:07

A very interesting

00:30:09--> 00:30:19

agreement we find between the Quran in the Bible as well. The Bible calls Nebuchadnezzar, my servant.

00:30:20--> 00:30:22

The Old Testament.

00:30:23--> 00:30:31

It mentions in Jeremiah, that Nebuchadnezzar he calls him My servant, Allah servant,

00:30:32--> 00:30:40

even if he's a disbeliever, because in the end he will do only what Allah subhanho wa Taala decrees for him.

00:30:42--> 00:30:52

And will not Allah subhanaw taala sometimes give power to those who are more to that tyrannical against those?

00:30:53--> 00:31:03

Maybe even if they are the willful slave servants of Allah subhanaw taala but because they have strayed from the path of Allah so Allah will punish them through them.

00:31:04--> 00:31:05

I by the learner,

00:31:07--> 00:31:09

why can it not be Nebuchadnezzar?

00:31:10--> 00:31:16

Furthermore, Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, what did he say about the division

00:31:18--> 00:31:19

he called them a

00:31:21--> 00:31:29

huge the worst of human beings, people who are a punishment to others

00:31:32--> 00:31:33

as the province of Silla mentioned.

00:31:36--> 00:31:44

So, there is no contradiction in saying a by the law, they must be the Muslims, this cannot be Nebuchadnezzar.

00:31:47--> 00:31:52

It's very possible that this is what is meant by the first people,

00:31:53--> 00:32:00

the ones that Allah sent upon them the first time very possibly Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia.

00:32:04--> 00:32:08

As history goes on, just quickly,

00:32:09--> 00:32:10

after

00:32:12--> 00:32:14

the Babylonian captivity,

00:32:15--> 00:32:23

as we know in 539 538 BCE, few decades after Nebuchadnezzar

00:32:25--> 00:32:30

Allah has saved when he saw through the Persian King Cyrus,

00:32:32--> 00:32:46

King Cyrus now conquered Babylon, and Palestine, and called on many of the Jews to go back to Jerusalem. Interestingly, many of them did not.

00:32:47--> 00:32:50

Because the place where all the money was,

00:32:51--> 00:32:57

and all the wealth, and all the development was in Lebanon,

00:32:58--> 00:33:09

but some of them returned and started to rebuild the temple. And this is why King Cyrus is so important for them because he saved them from the Babylonian captivity.

00:33:11--> 00:33:13

Life goes on,

00:33:14--> 00:33:20

up until the time of Alexander the Great, then the Greeks take over Palestine.

00:33:22--> 00:33:32

And now we come up to approximately the second century we see around the second century this is all in the Hellenistic era.

00:33:33--> 00:33:35

Around now the second century

00:33:37--> 00:33:42

the Jews are living under the Greek Seleucid Empire.

00:33:45--> 00:33:48

But they eventually revolt against it.

00:33:50--> 00:33:52

What is known as the

00:33:53--> 00:34:01

Maccabean revolt, something so important to the Jews that they celebrated every year in Hanukkah,

00:34:02--> 00:34:06

the Maccabean revolt against the Greek Seleucid Empire.

00:34:08--> 00:34:15

This led to another dynasty, another kingdom, called the Hasmonean Dynasty,

00:34:17--> 00:34:28

which also lasted from approximately 140 BC, all the way on till approximately 63 BC.

00:34:32--> 00:34:33

Interestingly,

00:34:35--> 00:34:37

when the Jews talk about their history,

00:34:39--> 00:34:41

they talk about those two kingdoms.

00:34:43--> 00:34:50

But they've only had two states or kingdoms. And the Israel of 1948 is the third.

00:34:51--> 00:34:52

The first one,

00:34:54--> 00:34:59

the united kingdom of David and Solomon, the second one, the Hasmonean dynasty, you

00:35:00--> 00:35:08

And this is the third in all of that long history of some 3000 years, only those two

00:35:11--> 00:35:13

both of which

00:35:15--> 00:35:19

only lasted for some eight decades.

00:35:20--> 00:35:25

And this is why they started talking about the curse of the eighth decade.

00:35:26--> 00:35:41

Because the kingdom of David and Solomon only lasted some 80 years, around 1010 or so until 930 BC, and then the Hasmonean dynasty, from around 142 63 BCE. That's it,

00:35:42--> 00:36:25

both of them around 80 years. Of course, when we talk about the United Kingdom, they continued, obviously, there still was Israel and Judah, but then they split and they became very weak. And when they talk about the 80 years, and the curse of the 80 years, it's not that they will just disappear off the face of the earth, but they will become so weak, because of inter knee sin, conflict, civil wars, fighting each other. So that's when the United Kingdom split into Israel and Judah, the northern and the southern kingdom, the Hasmonean dynasty as well, became very weak.

00:36:26--> 00:36:27

And

00:36:28--> 00:36:47

they became weak, and again, they fell into sins and idolatry. And that continued until the current era, after Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him. And after the Greeks, they were ruled by the Romans.

00:36:49--> 00:37:08

In this continued all the way until the year 70, ce II, when Allah subhanaw taala, gave power to the Roman emperor, Titus against them, and he destroyed them. And he destroyed the Second Temple.

00:37:11--> 00:37:18

This was now again, according to many, the second destruction.

00:37:21--> 00:37:32

This may have been what Jesus peace be upon him was warning them off, even when he was being taken to the cross. You find this in the New Testament,

00:37:33--> 00:37:37

in the books of the New Testament, Jesus peace be upon him telling them,

00:37:39--> 00:37:46

just wait for what's going to happen, because of what you have done, because of your sins and your crimes.

00:37:48--> 00:37:52

You will wish that you were not even there.

00:37:53--> 00:38:02

This is going to happen later on. And this is what seems to have occurred with the destruction of Titus in 70 CE.

00:38:04--> 00:38:06

So we can see

00:38:08--> 00:38:32

based on what we have in the current Bible, Old and New Testament, and according to many of the scholars of the MUFA city, they explain the two instances of corruption and tyranny as something that happened in history. And it is over with.

00:38:33--> 00:38:40

And it is something that Allah foretold in the Torah telling them that we are going to tell you, we mentioned it to you in the Torah.

00:38:44--> 00:38:52

And this is one of the schools of thought with regards to how we understand the verses of surah in Israel.

00:38:55--> 00:39:05

So the second destruction would be what we just mentioned, and then you can apply possibly the the ayat to what the Romans did.

00:39:06--> 00:39:13

Obviously, there are some objections and that's why there are other schools of thought. Another school of thought says

00:39:14--> 00:39:18

the first destruction happened in history.

00:39:21--> 00:39:25

The second one that is mentioned is the one that we are seeing now.

00:39:29--> 00:39:30

Okay,

00:39:31--> 00:39:34

you the third possible school of thought

00:39:35--> 00:39:40

is the both of them both incidents of corruption and tyranny

00:39:41--> 00:39:44

are after Islam not before it?

00:39:47--> 00:39:47

How

00:39:49--> 00:39:51

I gave you the opinion of many of them with a series

00:39:52--> 00:39:59

some evidence from the Bible, some evidence from the pseudo canonical books as well.

00:40:03--> 00:40:03

And

00:40:04--> 00:40:10

then we can try to understand is this possibly what is meant or not?

00:40:12--> 00:40:20

When Allah subhanaw taala says Wakaba you love me so you fill Kitab let us see dunya fill out are we more retain

00:40:23--> 00:40:28

what is of here that have seen you nothing on the maritime

00:40:31--> 00:40:35

it couldn't be the land, the holder that have seen nothing.

00:40:37--> 00:40:51

And it could be one Allahu Alem specifically the Holy Land and Masjid Al Aqsa. Subhanallah the SRB Abbe de la isla Mina al Masjid Al haram, Al Masjid Al Aqsa, why is that mentioned here?

00:40:53--> 00:40:56

Because a lot of here seems to refer to as

00:40:59--> 00:41:03

Allah azza wa jal talks about two instances of corruption.

00:41:04--> 00:41:07

The Jews have been corrupting

00:41:08--> 00:41:10

since the beginning

00:41:12--> 00:41:27

are the only two instances Allah subhanaw taala said couldn't allow Kaduna Rondell Herbie out of a Hala we have some wonderful RB Fussa Allah hula you're able to move city.

00:41:29--> 00:41:30

Every time they ignite

00:41:33--> 00:41:38

a fire for war. Allah puts it out Allahu Akbar.

00:41:39--> 00:41:42

And they strive in corruption

00:41:43--> 00:41:44

in the land,

00:41:45--> 00:41:48

and Allah does not like the corrupters

00:41:49--> 00:41:51

This is what they've been doing all along.

00:41:53--> 00:41:56

When Allah subhanaw taala says, layer the

00:41:58--> 00:42:18

ILA young woman, Yama may assume whom su Allah, Allah is going Allah promised that he will send upon them, you will give power to people over them, those who will subject them to torment all the way up until the day of judgment as a punishment.

00:42:22--> 00:42:23

But Allah mentions

00:42:24--> 00:42:25

to if sad.

00:42:27--> 00:42:40

Okay. One possibility is that what is being mentioned here are the two instances of if sad, that were mentioned in the camera

00:42:42--> 00:42:44

as a prophecy, Kedah

00:42:45--> 00:42:54

kita that we mentioned to them indicated that you will have these two major instances of corruption and tyranny

00:42:55--> 00:42:58

doesn't necessarily mean that it's only to

00:43:00--> 00:43:08

the other possibility, as we just said here is that these instances will be in a Masjid Al Aqsa,

00:43:09--> 00:43:10

not anywhere else.

00:43:11--> 00:43:30

And if we understand it that way, then we have to look in history to see when were they in Al Masjid Al Aqsa, where they had strength and power. And then afterwards, they lost it and they became corrupt. And they tyrannized the people.

00:43:31--> 00:43:50

And it's possible that that first instance is what we saw, after the split into Israel and Judah. And they fell into all kinds of idolatry and, and iniquities and bloodshed, even Isaiah called the murderers.

00:43:52--> 00:43:58

They they committed some of the worst crimes, and then it happened in Judah as well. So Allah

00:43:59--> 00:44:03

gave power to Nebuchadnezzar upon them as a punishment.

00:44:04--> 00:44:08

This is in Majid Aqsa, no issues with that.

00:44:12--> 00:44:23

If we say, Allah subhanaw taala specified and singled out these two instances of corruption

00:44:24--> 00:44:35

more than anything else, so it seems like well, Allahu Allah, these are the two biggest instances of corruption and tyranny that are going to happen in their history.

00:44:38--> 00:44:44

Then we try to analyze is what they're doing now and Philistine

00:44:45--> 00:44:49

like or worse, what they did during that time.

00:44:50--> 00:44:59

Well, during that time that we mentioned when Nebuchadnezzar destroyed them and took them as captives. This was a time where they were

00:45:00--> 00:45:07

Killing prophets. That was what they were doing. So that's why they killed Isaiah and Jeremiah, Ezekiel and others

00:45:08--> 00:45:12

all the way up until the time of Zekeriya and Yahia.

00:45:14--> 00:45:22

Whom they also killed and they tried to kill a Salah Salem. They are killing the prophets brothers and sisters Allah Akbar.

00:45:28--> 00:45:28

However,

00:45:30--> 00:45:35

Allah azza wa jal says, Maradona, hola como como Rata highly him

00:45:36--> 00:45:41

wonder dinner napkin the unwinding weapon in which you're

00:45:42--> 00:45:43

gonna feel

00:45:44--> 00:45:49

that after that we gave to you victory over there right

00:45:50--> 00:46:07

and we gave you wealth and sons and we made you more numerous we'll give you more manpower. So some will say yes, this is what Allah gave them after they were destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia.

00:46:09--> 00:46:22

But to be honest, that's not very clear in the history, they became so much stronger, we may say, well, a thorough Nephi era, meaning they were helped.

00:46:23--> 00:46:28

They have more non power and they were helped by who, by King Cyrus the Persians

00:46:29--> 00:46:33

are the ones who helped them to come back to Palestine, right

00:46:34--> 00:46:41

after the Babylonian captivity, but did they have that wealth and that strengthen that manpower?

00:46:43--> 00:46:44

Some of these things are

00:46:47--> 00:46:49

need more research?

00:46:50--> 00:47:22

To be honest, and this is why many modern scholars talk about the second instance as being what we are witnessing today. In the 20th and 21st century, this is one of the reasons this area from la cual karate Allah you him wonder dinner Khun VM word you were burning. So Allah is talking about not only giving you a return victory over them, talking about wealth,

00:47:23--> 00:47:29

and sons and manpower, which are local Tirana Fira.

00:47:31--> 00:47:34

It seems Allahu Allah, that the time that we're in now,

00:47:36--> 00:47:41

there was never a time where the Jews had this kind of

00:47:42--> 00:47:43

domination

00:47:46--> 00:47:47

dominating

00:47:50--> 00:47:55

everything that has to do with money and wealth, and media and power.

00:47:56--> 00:48:06

You know, just recently Subhanallah, you know, people felt that they were getting somewhere. And what did they do? They went in they brought Elon Musk.

00:48:07--> 00:48:13

They brought him to Israel and started their propaganda and got him on their side.

00:48:15--> 00:48:20

And he didn't go to Gaza, even though the whole world was telling him to go to vasa.

00:48:21--> 00:48:24

This is what they do, they always go after the sources of power.

00:48:26--> 00:48:47

Right. So when you look at our time, this is just an interesting development that happened recently, from the very beginning, my dear brothers and sisters as we know, they are in control of a lot of things and this is this is not a conspiracy theory. This is a fact. Right?

00:48:48--> 00:48:54

They are in control of so many centers of power in the whole world.

00:48:56--> 00:49:02

So when we say tomorrow, Daniela Kugel Kurata Helene wonder dinner Kumi, I'm worthy what

00:49:03--> 00:49:04

axon Fira?

00:49:06--> 00:49:12

This is really seems to apply to their situation now.

00:49:14--> 00:49:17

Much more than any time in the history.

00:49:20--> 00:49:30

Furthermore, when we say let us see do nothing on the maritime, you are going to corrupt and you are going to terrorize twice

00:49:32--> 00:49:37

if we say that this is the worst example, wouldn't this be the second?

00:49:41--> 00:49:45

If it is not and we say that what happened was in history

00:49:47--> 00:49:48

then this is the third

00:49:51--> 00:49:54

and that might not be so

00:49:56--> 00:49:59

unbelievable because Allah subhanaw taala after he said

00:50:00--> 00:50:10

In the second time, we assume we do have a masjid after that. The next is Hassan Bukoba, you have a co worker in the room to grow dinner.

00:50:11--> 00:50:18

If you go back to your corruption and your tyranny, we will go back to punishing you as we did the first two times.

00:50:20--> 00:50:25

So this time, according to those who say, the first two times we're in history

00:50:26--> 00:50:31

would say, this third time comes under, we're in to rodina.

00:50:36--> 00:50:45

But again, there are a lot of buts and howevers. It's, that's why I'm saying it's not easy. Okay? Because we're trying now

00:50:46--> 00:50:48

we are trying to

00:50:50--> 00:50:59

apply and see how these Quranic verses apply to a reality that we are living. And scholars lived in history.

00:51:00--> 00:51:02

And you know, and I know,

00:51:03--> 00:51:07

especially when it comes to things like the minor signs of the Day of Judgment.

00:51:09--> 00:51:10

There are things

00:51:11--> 00:51:34

you read about that maybe happened in our time, but scholars before centuries ago, interpreted what happened at their time as the fulfillment of that minor sign, and maybe it wasn't exactly but that's how it seemed. Allah Allah, right. That was there he had, and this is what seems to be happening now.

00:51:35--> 00:51:45

So some people, I think the the moral of the story is yes, it could very possibly be what Allahu Allah that this second

00:51:47--> 00:52:03

instance, is the one that we are living now for some of the reasons that I mentioned. And there will be a lot of back and forth there are other arguments. I don't want to confuse you. But when we come to when Allah subhanaw taala says, what

00:52:04--> 00:52:08

we assume will do her camaleon Hold on Masjid

00:52:09--> 00:52:20

that Allah Subhan Allah that Allah will send the people now who will sad in your faces, and they will enter the masjid as they entered the first time.

00:52:21--> 00:52:28

Someone will say okay, if it was Nebuchadnezzar, then why is he calling it a masjid? Was it a masjid day?

00:52:31--> 00:52:32

No, because it was

00:52:35--> 00:52:36

mostly the noxa

00:52:38--> 00:52:46

that was placed on the earth 40 years after Elbasy the Hara is a masjid Aqsa, they can call on the temple it is advisable axon.

00:52:47--> 00:52:51

They call the wooden Sulaiman their Jewish prophets. They are Muslim prophets.

00:52:52--> 00:52:55

This is the place of worship that we call a messed up luck so

00:52:58--> 00:53:13

they will enter it as they entered the first time. We said the third school of thought possibly says a buyer the learner these must be the Muslims. So the first episode is the if so during the time of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:53:14--> 00:53:15

what the Jews did

00:53:18--> 00:53:26

and the Muslims retaliated against the new Nadine and Ben Carr and when Raila right

00:53:28--> 00:53:30

and they entered the masjid when

00:53:31--> 00:53:34

the time of Amara, Allah Allah

00:53:36--> 00:53:39

and then the second one possibly now

00:53:42--> 00:53:43

the only way

00:53:44--> 00:53:53

to decide and the only way to truly understand is to is that we have the Quranic text

00:53:54--> 00:53:58

and we try to see to our best ability

00:53:59--> 00:54:02

if that Quranic text

00:54:04--> 00:54:09

accurately applies to the instances that we are mentioning.

00:54:10--> 00:54:12

Okay. It's interesting.

00:54:13--> 00:54:18

Don't go back to the oldest of them of a city go to some of the new ones

00:54:19--> 00:54:20

such as

00:54:24--> 00:54:25

some new tough seats

00:54:28--> 00:54:28

which one?

00:54:31--> 00:54:32

I mean, I should

00:54:35--> 00:54:37

say Toto, but we do the

00:54:39--> 00:54:45

most of them seem to confirm these are people who know about Israel.

00:54:46--> 00:54:50

And some of them lived until the establishment of Israel.

00:54:51--> 00:54:59

But it still seems that they maintained the two instances happened in history Willow Island

00:55:01--> 00:55:08

Again, the first instance for either Hula, hula bafna Are they equal, right?

00:55:09--> 00:55:20

It happened in the past, but sooner or later, remember the learner. In the second instance for Elijah Irati, Lea su Hurco future.

00:55:22--> 00:55:39

Yet in the translations you will find, the writer has passed when the second instance came to pass as if it already happened based on the tough scene. But if you translate it correctly, Lea su would work out this is future.

00:55:42--> 00:55:45

It might be the What we are witnessing now.

00:55:46--> 00:56:16

And if we continue to research, we might find that actually, what is happening now is not comparable to what happened before even though what happened before they weren't killing profits. Yes, this be upon them all, but the level of strength and power and domination and wealth and manpower that they have today. And destruction that they are wreaking not only on Palestine, but on the rest of humanity as well.

00:56:19--> 00:56:21

We might, indeed.

00:56:23--> 00:56:29

interpreted as the second instance that is mentioned in Sudan, and Israel.

00:56:31--> 00:57:14

I think one of the things that we again, the wisdom behind it is clear. Whether we know or we don't know, Allah subhanaw taala told us, every time you corrupt and utilize, you're going to be punished. And Allah told us in the other area, Allah is going to send someone upon them to punish them up until the Day of Judgment. We're in October, if you come back to it, you will be punished again. The wisdom is very clear, the lesson is very clear. But trying to interpret and understand is that the instance or not along to Allah, Allah, I did my best to

00:57:17--> 00:57:23

give you a better idea of the interpretation of the Tafseer of the possibilities.

00:57:24--> 00:57:39

And just know that it is not as simplistic as someone coming and saying, no, no, no, no, you know, this, this idea that it happened in the past? Doesn't make any sense. No, it's not completely nonsensical.

00:57:40--> 00:57:45

On the other hand, the possibility that it is referring to what we're seeing today

00:57:46--> 00:57:57

may be the case with Allahu Taala Allah Allah azza wa jal is the one who knows best when May Allah Wheeler who will Allah, in the end, we ask Allah subhanaw taala,

00:57:58--> 00:58:02

to punish the evildoers, to

00:58:03--> 00:58:16

grant victory to our brothers and sisters and give them patience, and to give us knowledge and understanding of the Quran. And the ability to live by it. BarakAllahu Li Ka masala Allah wa salam O Allah kala Nabina Muhammad.

00:58:19--> 00:58:19

Yes.

00:58:27--> 00:58:31

Yeah. So the issue of

00:58:32--> 00:58:33

Israel,

00:58:34--> 00:58:39

the State of Israel being destroyed or

00:58:41--> 00:58:46

ending their domination over the Holy Land? Yes, there are.

00:58:48--> 00:58:55

And, of course, we know, some analysts, some scholars also tried to

00:58:58--> 00:59:08

foreshadow something of the kind happening, and that's why they talk about this period, because this is the eighth decade. So it's been 75 years now.

00:59:09--> 00:59:11

And that's why they are afraid.

00:59:12--> 00:59:15

Israel is very afraid. Ehud Barak, last year,

00:59:16--> 00:59:49

wrote an important article about this, talking about the curse of the eighth decade. Netanyahu has talked about it. Naftali Bennett has talked about it. They're very afraid that this is when that split is going to happen. And they're going to and there's going to be infighting between them and they're going to lose their domination and their power, just like what happened with the United Kingdom and the Hasmonean dynasty. So they themselves are foreshadowing this. And there are Muslim scholars and

00:59:50--> 00:59:57

commentators who are saying, things of the nature of course what we're seeing now Subhanallah

00:59:58--> 00:59:59

since October 7,

01:00:00--> 01:00:00

There

01:00:01--> 01:00:15

is also a reason to believe that indeed, they are not as invincible as everyone wants thought, even if the whole world standard stands by them, Allah Allah

01:00:16--> 01:00:21

We ask Allah subhanaw taala to deal with them as

01:00:22--> 01:00:34

he mentioned in the Quran, in tomorrow dinner, Allah subhanaw taala will definitely end this mass tyranny and oppression.

01:00:35--> 01:00:48

But maybe not through a miracle. This we have to remember but rather through the works of the his believing slave servants, Allah Allah

01:00:52--> 01:00:56

anything else brothers and sisters maybe the sisters have questions

01:01:01--> 01:01:04

you don't make sense. No nothing.

01:01:06--> 01:01:10

There are so many things Subhanallah this is just a little bit

01:01:12--> 01:01:15

we can get into it more in sha Allah if we get to the Tafseer of sudo apt and

01:01:17--> 01:01:19

then we analyze it word by word.

01:01:21--> 01:01:21

Okay.

01:01:22--> 01:01:25

Baraka Luffy combs panic along the ham dekhna shadow and

01:01:27--> 01:01:28

what are two who they

01:01:29--> 01:01:29

are
