00:00:42 --> 00:00:50
			taught us in the you are the All Knowing the all wise, my dear brothers and sisters, Mr. de como
rahmatullahi wa barakato.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:01:30
			We continue with the Tafseer of Surah Al Baqarah. And we got to the following a Allah subhanho wa
Taala says God will be reluctant to share our dreams Smilla rahmanir rahim. bahala Delia who do they
said in surah Allah shame all that in us all I said earlier who do I show you near to Luenell kita

00:01:32 --> 00:02:12
			A few verses before Allah subhanaw taala was telling us how the Jews and the Christians were saying
that no one will enter paradise except the people from their own religion. So the Jews said only
Jews will enter Paradise and the Christians will said only Christians will enter paradise and then
Allah subhana wa Taala said otherwise it's about submitting one's face to Allah subhanaw taala and
being righteous and doing good deeds, then in the following area that we are at today. Allah
subhanaw taala tells us that the Jews said
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			that the Christians are upon nothing.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:49
			Quality the who lay set in the surah Allah che the Christians are upon nothing. Meaning upon nothing
means that they are not upon the correct religion. They are not upon the truth. It's another way of
saying that they are following a false religion. But saying it this way makes it Allah shake there
upon nothing. me it's almost like there's nothing correct about their religion.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:03:04
			And then the do said the same. The Christian said the same about the Jews. The Jews are upon nothing
in religion, they are not upon the truth. It seems similar to
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:22
			what was mentioned before when they said that no one will enter paradise except people from our own
religion here. It is saying that they are not upon the correct religion so they are criticizing the
other
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			religion. This
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:31
			Wallah Halima has an authentic reason of revelation
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:48
			as Imam Ibn is Huck narrates, in a chain of narration that goes to even our best are the Allahumma
who said that the Christians
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			often the giran
		
00:03:51 --> 00:04:00
			that came to visit the Prophet sallallahu Sallam the famous delegation known as was Nasaan Iran.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:06
			This delegation of Nigerian came from an area close to Yemen.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:18
			So they went to Medina to see the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam, and to discuss and debate the
issue of religion.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:28
			So when the delegation of Nigerian came to the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam, and the Jews knew
of it, the rabbi's then came
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:34
			and witnessed some of what was going on, and then said the Christians are upon nothing.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:40
			And the one who said it was Russia, for a Mullah from the Jews.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			And then, he also
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			declared his disbelief
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			in Raisa Ali salah
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			and the Bible
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			and then after
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			At the Christians replied in kind,
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:15
			one of the leaders replied, and they also said you are upon nothing. And he this believed in Musa
alayhis salam and the Torah.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			So Allah subhanaw taala revealed this verse
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			it's interesting that
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			Katahdin, Mujahid
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:37
			Robbie, Allah on hooba said that actually
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:44
			the first of the Jews and the Christians were upon something.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			In other words, the first ones,
		
00:05:50 --> 00:06:02
			the first ones that did not innovate in the religion, they were upon something because they were
upon the true religion. They were the true followers of Musa alayhis salam and the true followers of
Isa.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:07
			Right? So they said the first ones were upon something.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:15
			But yes, these ones many centuries later, or upon nothing.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:43
			So if that's the case, then why is Allah subhanaw taala? chastising them because here, this is
chastisement. This is not just Allah azza wa jal telling us about what happened. He's chastising
them. He's criticizing them. Why is he criticizing them? If as a third and Mujahid are saying the
first ones were upon something, these ones are upon nothing
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			because of what they innovated, they are no longer following the true religion.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:58
			So what is the problem if they do say to the Christians here upon nothing, which is true, and the
Christians are telling the Jews here upon nothing, which is also true?
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:05
			This was an issue scholars have brought up.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:13
			We set up a new Zune. The reason of revelation I just mentioned to you clarifies it,
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:29
			because what ended up happening is that the Roger Ebert formula did not only say, you Christians are
upon nothing, he disbelieved in Louisa, on a salad and the Bible and this is the problem.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:39
			You may think they are upon nothing. But that does not mean and that should not lead you now to
disbelieving.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:49
			In someone who is a genuine prophet of Allah, Isa Alexa and the Bible, the genuine book of Allah
that was revealed to him.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:08:01
			And the same for the for the Christians, in disbelieving Musa Ali, Sarah and the Torah. So the
problem here is what
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:06
			this believing in the original
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			unadulterated religion, this is the problem.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:17
			When they said they set it Nosara Allah che, they're disbelieving now in the original
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:21
			when there wasn't an innovation in it.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:26
			And same with the Christians toward the Jews. This is the problem.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:38
			This is why they are being criticized. And furthermore, it says we're home near to the Al Kitab. And
they recite the book
		
00:08:40 --> 00:09:03
			which book they are under kitab. We keep referring to them as the people of the book that in itself
is praised. This is an accolade to GitHub, you are a people of a book you are people of knowledge,
the pagans of NACA used to come to you to seek your knowledge. You are a people to whom revelation
came.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:35
			So well whom is known as the key term. They recite the book and yet, what do they do now? They are
disbelieving in ESA the other others are disbelieving in Musa alayhis salam and the books that were
revealed to either of them, this is a problem precisely as a narration as well of Lebanon bass
mentions, where he said
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:42
			that what is mentioned in Nikita in the book that they are reciting
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:56
			is actually that they should believe in the others profit and book, meaning the Jews who said the
Christians are upon nothing are told in the Torah
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			that there will be another prophet
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:15
			Coming and he is a Saudi Salah and he will be receiving the Bible and in G so how can they now
disbelieve in him? If they disbelieve in him they're disbelieving in the Torah which they are
reciting well who meet Luna Nikita
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			and they recite the book.
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:33
			And similarly the Christians are reciting their book. And in it as an ambassador of the Allah on
Houma says, and it also is mentioned of the Torah that came before
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:52
			and Prophet Musa Ali salah and the fact that they are supposed to believe in both. So you are now
disbelieving in the book that you are reciting, when you disbelieve in the others prophet and the
others book. So they are being criticized well homier, Kunal kitab.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			When you read that, of course,
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			it's a reminder to us as Muslims as well,
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:11
			because it reminds us of the era when a demon comes Shanahan told me the Highlander de Loup de Loup
or Acropolis
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:19
			don't let your dislike or hatred of a people
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:28
			do not allow that to make you judge them in a way that is not just
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:43
			you should be just because it is closer to Taqwa. And this is very difficult to be just towards
someone you dislike or towards an enemy.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:47
			This is not easy. So now here and yeah, who do I
		
00:11:49 --> 00:12:09
			have okay, they are saying you are not upon anything. And they dislike the other faction, the other
group. This should not, however, lead you now, to disbelieve in what you are required to believe in.
So in other words, they went too far. And they allowed their dislike
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:13
			for them to look at them unjustly.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:26
			This is why they are being criticized, for whom yet you uneducated. This is why they are being
mentioned. Furthermore, when we read that we might say to ourselves,
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			nowadays,
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:50
			it doesn't seem like they're having that kind of exchange. You are not upon anything. The other
group says no, you are not upon anything or any truth in terms of religion. It looks like there are
the best of friends, the closest of allies, right.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:13:00
			And we mentioned that, of course, this is the suburb in the zoo, the reason of revelation for the
isup. Furthermore,
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:05
			we mentioned the long history,
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:17
			the long history of difficulties, and altercations and enmity and wars between them.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:25
			I think we mentioned that in a talk about Philistine which you should find here.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28
			Allah.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:41
			But now we see something different, very different, almost the opposite. How did that happen? We
talked a little bit about that, and discuss some of that history.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:53
			So the Quran is telling us this is the kind of discussion they were having in front of the Prophet
salallahu, alayhi wasallam when the delegation of Nigerian came to him, right.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:14:06
			Does that mean it's not happening now? No, it's happening now as well. Yes, they are allies? Yes,
they are very close. Yes, things are much better than they were before. That's true.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:43
			To a large extent, for different reasons. Okay. They tried to mend their ways. They now talk about
something called a Judeo Christian tradition almost is as if it is one thing. So the Jews would
might quote, the Old Testament, but rarely, and the Christians or sorry, the Jews, oh, my god, the
New Testament, okay, or the Bible? Not always, but maybe sometimes. Again, some some of it is lip
service. Some of it is interests,
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:54
			interests, some of our interests today, political interests, and save interests. And ultimately,
yes, they come together.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:59
			When that means going in
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			against a shared enemy, that may be the Muslims.
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			So they might put their hands
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:27
			together. And they might work together against what they might see as a common enemy, which is Islam
and Muslims. Not all of them, obviously. But yes, some of those with animosity towards Islam, the
Islamophobes of the world, the people who are inciting
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:33
			violence against Islam and Muslims, that can happen.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:16:21
			But ultimately, yes, he will still find Christians saying that the Jews are upon nothing, and the
only way to be saved to follow Jesus Christ. And the Jews are saying something similar. And they
might just call it a heresy. And the Jews were before them, and the long history of oppression and
persecution of the Jews by the Christians. So you still have some of that? You will still hear some
of that. But yes, it does seem that to a large extent, that landscape of relations religiously and
politically has changed. While homeotic Lunella keytab Cattolica Allah Levine, Allah Allahu LA
County him.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:28
			Similarly, those who do not know many who do not have knowledge,
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31
			said something similar.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:36
			Similar to what the Jews and the Christians just said,
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:44
			Who are these people? The ones who do not know, then you can call and Adina Leia, Mrs. Akali,
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:46
			Evangel rage?
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			Asked about
		
00:16:51 --> 00:17:02
			who are these people, but once you do not know. So he said to him, these are nations that came
before the Jews and the Christians
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:07
			who said something similar to what the Jews and the Christians are saying here?
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:09
			Okay.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13
			This is one opinion.
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:24
			The other opinion is that those who do not know here is a reference to the pagan Arabs.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			The pagan Arabs in Makkah,
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:38
			who persecuted the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the Muslims and eventually kicked them out
of Makkah, or caused them to be kicked out of Makkah.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:54
			Those are the ones who do not know they are doing something similar to what the Jews and the
Christians say. When they say about the Muslims, they are upon nothing. And they completely reject
the message of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:57
			Tabari
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:48
			True to form, as usual, in many different cases, will take the general opinion, especially if it
seems the expression can indeed be a reference to the different possibilities. And here it seems
that is the case. Allah did not tell us exactly who they are. He said those who do not know it
couldn't be a reference to those before nations before the Jews and the Christians. And it's gonna
be a reference to the pagan Arabs, the ones who are right there, persecuting the Muslims. And it
seems Allahu Allah, a lot of MUFA serine are taking that opinion seems like a stronger opinion that
it is those pagan Arabs.
		
00:18:50 --> 00:19:04
			Why we will see when we get to the next area, but again as Muslims now also we learn, we learn from
this, that especially for us,
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:16
			we know that even in Islam, there are different groups, there are different ideas. There are
different methodologies, right, especially when it comes to that
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:20
			and you have 101 your opinions as we all know.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:27
			There it behooves us to learn from this.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:35
			It is not proper to just come out and give a blanket statement and say something like
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			this group is upon nothing.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:59
			They don't know anything, almost as if they have not been able to get any part of the truth at all.
Usually that is not the case, as you know, right? Brothers and sisters, in all endeavors even
between husband and wife, right? It's rare that one group has
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			us all the truth, right?
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:27
			A lot of times a certain group will have part of the truth, right? So when we deal with each other,
the different Muslim groups, some of them Subhanallah as if they are going to go to battle against
each other, it's not appropriate to say oh this group is upon nothing, as if they are almost
disbelievers.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:37
			This is also being criticized. This is not the way to mend relations and to try to
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:45
			bring Muslims closer to each other and achieve the kind of unity that we all seek.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:58
			To Danica Carla, Nadine Allah Allah Munna Mithila commonly him so now the pagan Arabs are also
saying these Muslims are upon nothing.
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:13
			They should come back to our religion and worship the idols, they should come back to the original
religion. This is an innovation and they used to call them sabia as we know
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:25
			and insult them in different ways. Lei Ala Moana Miss La Colleen from La Jolla como Bina homeodomain
pianeta FEMA can be here.
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:32
			Allah subhana wa Tada will judge between them, young woman
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:39
			on the Day of Resurrection, in that which they used to differ a
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:40
			lot.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			When you think about
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:46
			the amount
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:51
			of difference differences of opinion
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:57
			and argumentation that has happened in the history and is happening now.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:11
			There are 1000s of opinions. Take the simplest possible statement. Give me a simple statement, the
simplest you can give me.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:20
			Can you give me a simple statement that nobody should argue about? Nobody should disagree about
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:37
			Alhamdulillah The sky is blue. I don't think anyone should disagree. You will find disagreement
brother. You will find people who say otherwise no actually is not really blue. But this is the
reflection of this and that.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:38
			Right?
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:53
			All kinds of things. Mind you. Yeah, some of these statements. Hopefully. You shouldn't find too
much disagreement about the Earth is round. No, there are still people who say the earth is flat.
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:56
			Right?
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:58
			God is one.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:14
			Allahu Akbar, the most unequivocal and magnificent statement? No, who said God is one? No, I don't
believe there is a God. No, God is one of three. No, God is something else.
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:22
			All of the different things people different about
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:34
			all of the similar examples to you are upon nothing, you are upon nothing, you know nothing. You are
ignorant.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37
			Allah will judge on the Day of Judgment.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40
			The
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:47
			obviously what's happening in Palestine to us, it is as clear as the sky is blue.
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:54
			It seems that clear to millions and millions of people around the world. But yet
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:58
			there are people that are other let's call them human beings
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:01
			who are siding
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:09
			with those criminals with those terrorists with those child killers with those bloodthirsty
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:12
			murderers.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:34
			And it's just it's been rages on, on battles online. Allahu Jacobina. Allah will judge between all
of those, the Jews and the Christians who said this and the pagan Arabs and every other sect and
group.
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:37
			Allah is going to judge on that day.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:59
			Use even speaking for the last for many, let's say 1000s and 1000s and 1000s of years. Enough, shut
up. Shut your mouth. Allah speaks today. Allah judges. Allah will judge all of that everyone will
know who was truthful and who was a liar.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:11
			It was correct. It was incorrect. Allahu Jacobina homeodomain P. P Mercado v here. Allah will judge
between them on that day.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			They were busy judging each other.
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:18
			You are not upon anything. No, you are not upon anything.
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:27
			Sometimes we are too busy judging others instead of looking at ourselves
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:40
			correcting our faults, right? Allah will judge Allah is the ultimate judge for La Jolla Calvino me

00:26:21 --> 00:26:26
			woman on the left who and who is worse, was more unjust
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:36
			than the one who prevents the massaging of Allah that his name be mentioned in it.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:44
			These are the enemies of Islam, the enemies of Allah and the enemies of the masajid.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:50
			Here also, there seems to be a reasonable revelation.
		
00:26:52 --> 00:27:10
			Again, as narrated by the man in his heart, in a chain of narration that goes to a basketball the
Allahumma that he said that this is when Hareesh prevented the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
from a Masjid Al haram. This is a reference to that.
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:12
			And
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:32
			Andromeda Benzedrine Islam mentions a similar opinion. This is when they prevented the Muslims from
a Masjid Al haram in alpha Davia as we know, when the Muslims went to perform the Umbra and the
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:37
			pagans of Quraysh prevented them from doing so.
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:41
			So this seems to be a reference to that.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:53
			And this would give credence to the opinion that we mentioned before that Cavalli kcal and levena
lie
		
00:27:54 --> 00:28:05
			to him those who do not know who said something similar to the Jews and the Christians or the pagan
Arabs, because the next idea it seems, is talking now about them.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:13
			And in their preventing of the Muslims from Al Masjid Al haram.
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:33
			There are other opinions however, as well, that this idea is a reference to others. So you will find
the scholars of tafsir also talking about the destruction of Jerusalem, which may have been the
first destruction that is mentioned in Surah 10 Israel
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:40
			which we discussed in a video I believe is different than the other one which you can also find here
inshallah.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:54
			So, some scholars have said mentioned that the destruction that happened at the hands of
Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BC.
		
00:28:55 --> 00:29:24
			This was the destruction of what must be the axon? Yes, of course, when the Jews talk about it in
their history, they talk about the destruction of the temple, we talk about it as a Masjid Al Aqsa,
this is what it is, it is a masjid and axon. And this is what Nebuchadnezzar destroyed wasafi Harar
beha and they strive in the ruin to ruin the massages of Allah subhanaw taala to destroy them.
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:34
			This was one of the greatest destructions of a masjid that we know that happened at the hands of
Nebuchadnezzar. One of the reasons the scholars
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:36
			try to
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:53
			understand what exactly is meant by this in which misogyny is because we don't know that and Masjid
Al Haram has been destroyed. We don't have information of the destruction of a masjid. How.
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:59
			So if it applies to the pagans of Metka in there
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:08
			persecution of the Muslims, preventing them from entering a Masjid Al haram. But then the other part
of the ISS was Santa Fe.
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:13
			And they strive to destroy it.
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:27
			So if a masjid How was not destroyed, so how can it apply to unless you the corrupt and thus, you
will read some of those opinions, possibly unless you did axon
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:42
			which happened, of course, in the first destruction. But it also happened afterwards, as we know, in
70 ce II, right, by Titus, right?
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:44
			By the Romans.
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:49
			And there are other attempts as well and we will come in sha Allah to
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:54
			the present day as well. But this is why you will find
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:57
			robbery
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:07
			was inclined towards saying that it is not the pagans of Makkah for this reason that that Majid
haram was not destroyed.
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:10
			Very interestingly,
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:22
			one of his students from many, many generations on who very often quotes him, and he might have been
cathedra here different with his shake.
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:54
			And he said, that ultimately that it is the pig is that this is a reference to the pagans of Makkah,
and their prevention of the Muslims from Al Majid al haram. And he says, and what greater
destruction is there to a masjid, then preventing the Muslims from entering it, then preventing
those who seek that Masjid to pray and mention the name of Allah? subhanaw taala much.
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:58
			And then he says something which seems
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:01
			very
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:05
			correct and convincing,
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:08
			which is
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:10
			the masjid is not
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:20
			the building for the pillars or the decoration that's in it. It's what it's used for.
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:31
			It's the Muslims praying in it, doing Roku and sudo that mention of Allah the mention of Allah
that's why he mentioned the beginning what and use thereof he has small
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:39
			mother has masajid Allah a youth karate has, this is the ultimate reason
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:48
			for the masajid mentioning the name of Allah subhanaw taala what do we do in the masjid other than
mention the name of Allah?
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:52
			Through prayer and Likud and Quran presentation.
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:56
			wasafi Haha.
		
00:32:57 --> 00:33:05
			So it seems like you've been cathedra is understanding haram here. I think Haram is a word even in
right whether it is
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:08
			an odd possibly.
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:13
			I don't know about Malay zipmoney also.
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:28
			Haram, no destruction. No. So evident cathedral seems to me understanding destruction here,
metaphorically, not necessarily destroying the building.
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:31
			This is what they will continue saying.
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:36
			It's not about the building of the Masjid.
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:44
			It's about what the message is being used for. So if the Muslims are being prevented from it, this
is the greatest instruction.
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:51
			So he says the pagans have prevented the Muslims from entering, entering and was in Haram.
		
00:33:52 --> 00:34:00
			And they had their idols and they'll shake their idolatry. What greater destruction for a machine is
there than this?
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:05
			It's not about a physical destruction.
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:11
			And indeed, we may understand the idea that way. The Taarab here
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:26
			is partly metaphorical, and partly physical actual destruction of the masjid actual ruining of the
masjid which is also happening as we will mention,
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:34
			too, why can't it be the pagans of Makkah, preventing them from Al Masjid Al haram?
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:55
			Woman Avila who is worse who is worse indeed who is more unjust? Mana masajid Allah. He uses Cara he
has more wasafi hora beha and strove in destroying them, destroying the masajid
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:57
			Allah subhanaw taala said
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:00
			in the Maya
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:03
			Maru massages Allah, Muhammad Abdullah
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:07
			the ones who truly
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:14
			give the message its meaning are the ones who
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:24
			believe in Allah subhanaw taala. And the last day, those people who are using the masjid for what
it's used for, for the its main function
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:27
			otherwise
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:30
			it doesn't make a difference.
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:34
			We're so happy Harada
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:38
			we see this now with these panela
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:48
			We saw this in some of the countries where the tyrants did everything they could to prevent the
Muslims from the masajid
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:55
			there were attempts to block Muslims from going to the massagin
		
00:35:56 --> 00:36:04
			attempt at closing the masjid immediately after the Salah so that nothing else can be done in the
masjid. The Masjid is not only for Salah
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:12
			what we mentioned before is about mentioning the name of Allah. But there are other activities that
are done in the masjid.
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:30
			There's there are lessons. There's decades there's recitation of Quran, and there were so many other
things that were done during the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. There was Shura and
there were
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:35
			gathered gatherings to talk about the state of the Ummah and other things.
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:52
			So, when we say that some of the tyrants and the supporters of the tyrants were doing this, they
come under this iron, mana hammer masajid Allah, a youth Karafin.
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:59
			They did what they can to dissuade the Muslims from the misogyny. They
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:24
			even chased the Muslims, persecuted them and oppress them, terrorize them, scared them from going to
the masajid because you might be labeled as an extremist or a terrorist. This is going on in some of
the countries that we recognize, maybe as Arab or Muslim countries, obviously, not all but some
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:27
			were where the tyrants rule
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:44
			and they oppress and persecute the commander This is my mother, Hannah Sajid, Allah, a youth karate
has small wasafi Sarabi. And they strive in destroying it by preventing the Muslims from it
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:50
			and possibly by physically destroying it as well.
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:55
			We know in some of the Arab countries
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:09
			a person going to the masjid needs to be careful. I know maybe here you find that a little bit
strange. But going to the masjid I might have to be careful because I need to see you know why being
followed.
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:12
			When the homicides
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:22
			or yeah, maybe being photographed, okay? This person is or maybe if you're going to me, Salah
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:26
			three Salah one day,
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:29
			this is no exaggeration brothers and sisters
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:31
			in Syria
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:47
			during the Revolution, when the opposition activists were able to take over one of the centers for
what is called political security.
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:57
			And then they saw the files that they had on hand, it's on YouTube, I can show it to you. So they
have files on hand. One of the files,
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:04
			the people who go to the masjid, especially Fajr
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:08
			Allah Akbar, especially Frasier.
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:15
			Those are the ones they want. Those are the real terrorists and extremists. This is the kind of
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:21
			regime that we were living under. For decades.
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:40
			Now you start to understand why the Syrian people went out the way they did. This is the kind of
fear that they try to instill in people's hearts to not go to the massage. So yes, parents will tell
their children please my son, don't go to the masjid
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:45
			or go once don't go three or four times. There'll be up to you.
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:56
			You'll you'll be labeled woman Avila Moomin mana MSR did Allah a youth cut off he has small wasafi
Harada
		
00:39:57 --> 00:40:00
			This is apart from the actual destruction
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:03
			Look at what we are seeing in Palestine now.
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:16
			Look at the destruction of the massages one after another. And these criminals are rejoicing. They
are rejoicing at the destruction of the misogyny
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:35
			and they seek to destroy all of the massage it, they sell it I read it online. They put videos of
the massage being destroyed and they are rejoicing and hoping they can do that to the rest of the
massage as well.
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:44
			This happened in Syria, so many of the massages Allahu Akbar, you see it following destruction.
		
00:40:45 --> 00:41:12
			These are the worst of people woman Avila, Manama masajid Allah. These are people who are not only
preventing the Muslims from going to the massage but they are destroying the massage kit. And Majid
Al Aqsa is definitely one of those that has been destroyed several times, as we have mentioned
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:27
			in the past in history, and now as well. In 1969, you might remember the very famous burning of an
Majid Al Aqsa by one of those extremist terrorists
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:37
			and, of course, mana Alamosa lien preventing the Muslims. We see this all the time we see this
almost every Friday
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:39
			in Jerusalem,
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:53
			where these criminals are preventing the Muslims from an Masjid in Uppsala, or putting certain
restrictions on who can enter who cannot enter women,
		
00:41:54 --> 00:42:09
			men and masajid Allah who is worse and more unjust than the ones who do these things. wasafi have
our behalf and they strive and seek to ruin and destroy it.
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:15
			Hula Comerica, and Allah whom a Lahore
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:31
			Subhan Allah, those people, it is not fitting for them to enter them, those massage it except in a
state of fear
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:35
			in their heart ifIm what does this mean?
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:45
			This could be possibly two things.
		
00:42:47 --> 00:43:00
			Either it is a hover, meaning, it is a fact that Allah subhanaw taala is mentioning, it is not
befitting meaning they will not enter it except in a state of fear.
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:06
			And even cathedral and others apply that to the pagans of Makkah.
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:23
			When the Muslims finally took over, after al Fett in the eighth year Hijiri what happened then they
could not enter the masjid except in a state of fear after the Muslims took it back from them.
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:47
			And it was only when the Prophet salallahu Salam gave them that security. Whoever enters the masjid
will be secure, that they were secure otherwise, they will only enter it in a state of fear. So some
might understand from this an indication a foreshadowing of what happened after that.
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:56
			Because we said Al Baqarah was revealed earlier during the Madani period, right.
		
00:43:57 --> 00:44:03
			So this is a fact. And we might apply it to all of the other situations as well.
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:20
			That when they strive to destroy the massages of Allah subhanaw taala and prevent the Muslims from
it. They will not be able to enter except in a state of fear. Allah is telling us they are they when
they enter they enter it in a state of fear.
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:29
			They are afraid of the truth. They're afraid of the proponents of truth.
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:37
			On the other hand, it may also be understood as a command
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:45
			we said we talked before about cuddling with our Shari.
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:59
			Something that has to do with other decree. This is what we mentioned when we just mentioned that it
is a fact that they will not enter accept in that way. I'm a shimmery it has to do with the shadow
me
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:20
			It's a command, this is what is supposed to happen. It is not befitting for them to enter it except
in a state of fear meaning the Muslims, the role of the Muslims, is not to allow them to enter those
massages except in the state of fear.
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:37
			Because they are the enemies of the massage. They are the enemies of Allah, the enemies of the
remembrance of Allah and the ones who remember Allah subhanaw taala and much so they are supposed to
prevent them
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:53
			and make sure that they cannot enter it except in a state of fear. Why? Because this is one of the
holiest places, this is a masjid. This is the house of Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:45:54 --> 00:46:12
			and we see what the enemies of Allah do when they enter the massages of Allah, how they desecrate
the masjid of Allah, whether it is a Muslim axon or other massage it where are the Muslims? Who will
not allow the masjid of Allah to be treated this way?
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:24
			Without Willa Makana Lahoma yah hoo ha. in Lahore, ifIm la homefield dunya his Yun welcome Phil,
Akira T
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:35
			for them in this dunya is Kizzy is disgrace, and they will have a great punishment in the hereafter.
This is the
		
00:46:36 --> 00:47:03
			Imam Ibn cathedra understands in terms of the pagans of NACA is what happened after the fact. They
indeed were disgraced. They were kicked out of the masjid and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
announced in the next year, let no Mushrik come to the masjid. They are not allowed anymore. And
eventually as we know he kicked out the Mushrikeen
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:14
			this is part of the hizzy the disgrace that they suffered in the dunya don't fit dunya fizzy. They
will have that disgrace here in the dunya.
		
00:47:15 --> 00:47:15
			And
		
00:47:17 --> 00:47:32
			what awaits them in the hereafter is even worse, the punishment of Allah subhanho wa Taala because
they were desecrated, some of the holiest places on earth, the places where Allah subhanaw taala is
mentioned.
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:38
			Panda Allah Allah, wa sallahu wa sallim wa barik ala Nabina Muhammad
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:49
			this
		
00:47:55 --> 00:48:07
			delegation of neuron was a delegation of Christians coming from the area of Nigeria and close to a
lemon.
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:11
			And they came
		
00:48:12 --> 00:48:24
			to Medina to meet the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in a distinguished delegation. Some
directions mentioned about 60 of them
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:28
			14 Who were their
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:54
			leaders, and they came in a way that was so impressive. It was like no other delegation, they have
seen the way they were dressed and the way the basically presented themselves. So this was the
delegation of Nigeria. And they came and they were discussing religion with the Prophet salallahu
Salam, and he was
		
00:48:57 --> 00:48:58
			calling them to Islam.
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:07
			It's a big thing. And then eventually, there was the issue of the MOBA Hala, where,
		
00:49:08 --> 00:49:20
			because they refused the DA so he told them in that case, we will do the MOBA, Hala, which is where
they will meet and they will publicly invoke the curse of Allah upon the one who is lying.
		
00:49:22 --> 00:49:39
			Right. The famous story we will get to it in sha Allah and Allah umbra. Because it is known that
sort of Le Imran big chunk of it from the beginning of it is revealed concerning the delegation of
Nigerian Yes.
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:45
			Everything else
		
00:49:56 --> 00:49:57
			let me ask a question.
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:05
			The if we were to try to understand the
		
00:50:07 --> 00:50:12
			the second a Madonna Sajida Allah coming where it did
		
00:50:15 --> 00:50:20
			if we try to understand possibly the connection to what is before it or what is after it
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:24
			and the ideas
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:29
			okay, that will come later
		
00:50:34 --> 00:50:34
			because,
		
00:50:35 --> 00:50:38
			for me, man, I'm sad Allah.
		
00:50:39 --> 00:51:13
			We said it seems that this largely is talking about the pagans of Makkah and what they did, and of
course, it applies in general to all the masajid using the known rule of Tafseer, which I believe I
have discussed here, which is a labor of love of love for sources suburb that the wisdom is
extracted, the lesson is extracted through the generality of the expression, not the specificity of
the
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:20
			example or the reason, right. So, yes, it may have been we mentioned the reason of Revelation.
		
00:51:22 --> 00:52:07
			What happened to the Prophet salallahu Salam and how they prevented him, but it applies to every
other situation where there are people preventing someone and not allowing them to go to the masjid
or striving to ruin or destroy the masjid right in its message. So, if we say it is the beginnings
of Mecca, and it's coming right after the ayah talking about Alia who doing the surah which by the
way, is another reason that some scholars may have said that oh, this seems to apply to the NESARA
Okay, the Christians and that Masjid Al Aqsa and what the Christians did to Al Masjid Al Aqsa, okay.
And they talk about what the Crusaders did to Al Masjid xi, how they turned it into a pigsty. And
		
00:52:08 --> 00:52:12
			there was all the trash that was thrown over there.
		
00:52:13 --> 00:52:21
			So again, it just shows you the way the massages of Allah have been mistreated and desecrated.
		
00:52:22 --> 00:52:29
			So that was another reason I mentioned of the Jews and the Christians is that the Jews and the
Christians or is it the pagans? That's better?
		
00:52:34 --> 00:52:35
			Yes.
		
00:52:38 --> 00:52:43
			Okay, so some of the verses that came before seem to be connected, okay. All right.
		
00:52:44 --> 00:52:56
			Yes, even before that are closer to it what the cathedral and Kitab right now we do not come in by
the mannequin. But again, this I mentioned of Al Kitab. Right.
		
00:53:00 --> 00:53:02
			Okay, it might be well, Allahu Allah.
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:10
			Again, if we understand correctly, can call a Lavina lie
		
00:53:11 --> 00:53:38
			to him. We understood that to be most probably the pagans of Mecca, the mushriks right? And then
immediately went to women of love woman by Madonna massage Allah. So we mentioned that immediately
afterwards, it seems connected. And he's mentioning, we might say that it is an introductory
mentioning one of their worst deeds, these Mushrikeen right.
		
00:53:40 --> 00:53:51
			nother possibility will allow Adam is that after he mentioned earlier who do and Asara the old
saying that the Christians are upon nothing the Christian saying that Jews are upon nothing.
		
00:53:53 --> 00:54:00
			These people have hidden the truth, okay, have
		
00:54:02 --> 00:54:24
			somehow distorted the truth, okay, in what they're doing what they're saying. And ultimately, they
ended up disbelieving in things that are clearly in their own books that they should believe in. So
this is a distortion of the truth. And then Allah subhanaw taala mentioned which is what is worse
than that, which is preventing
		
00:54:26 --> 00:54:29
			the truth from being disseminated by someone else.
		
00:54:30 --> 00:54:33
			So not only that, they distort the truth.
		
00:54:35 --> 00:54:49
			They then deprive others of the truth by preventing the Muslims from disseminating that truth and
allowing that message to be
		
00:54:51 --> 00:54:59
			conveyed to everyone else. And this is similar to the famous Arabic think that
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:25
			If they don't do anything good to anyone, they don't show mercy to others and then they try to
prevent the Mercy of Allah from coming to someone else right so they distorted the truth and then
they played an active role in an we're an obstacle to the truth being conveyed to others. Allah
Allah Allah Allah
		
00:55:29 --> 00:55:29
			Okay?
		
00:55:30 --> 00:55:31
			Allah
		
00:55:33 --> 00:55:34
			Subhana Allah,
		
00:55:35 --> 00:55:38
			Allah, Allah Allah and that's step one or two Riddick.
