Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu Uttam with just li mother so you didn't know what a man you know I believe in a bit of Hamas in Mohammed Abdullah Abdullah while earlier he was suffering he was Tabea in one antibiogram surname Ilaria within Subhanak Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah and tonight in Mecca until it my Hakeem rubbish rockin the surgery was surely Emery. Why don't you know that me Listen you have got hopefully 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 that follow them with the right guidance until the day of judgment I mean,
Glory me to you or Allah, no knowledge have we accept that what you have taught us Indeed you are the All Knowing the all wise, my dear brothers and sisters as salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
Hope everyone is doing well this fine evening in sha Allah.
Okay, so our lovely children can
focus with us for a few minutes and then you can go and play have dinner with us later on. They can have dinner with us. Yeah.
Inshallah.
We continue with the tafsir of Surah Al Baqarah.
And last time, we were talking about
a long verse, where Allah subhanaw taala was chastising Benissa ill
because of breaking the covenant with Allah subhanaw taala as regards their political alliances, and how they killed and drove out their own brethren from their homes,
in complete contravention to what Allah subhanho wa Taala
took a covenant with them for
and there's one more if
that now, continues. The chastisement so Allah subhanaw taala says in this area that I was willing to share time with James will never never He will.
Let me know sure I will hire duniya
Eva, you have one whom
you will have that one whom Allah who Allah Who knew
those
those are the ones who bought and hated duniya they bought this worldly life.
With what with earth era?
In other words, they bought their dunya with their D.
Flip it they sold their Deen for their dunya they sold their ad Hara for this fleeting temporary, worthless life worthless when compared to an Acura Of course.
Hola it can Nadine Estrada will hire to dunya will Acura. So it means the dunya was everything for them. And Hera was nothing.
It is that type of a perception.
It a very mistaken perception that will allow them
to
please their political alliances and allegiances above the covenant of Allah subhanho wa taala.
And this is not something simple. This is not just talk, calling on them, let's say to help the orphans and those who are needy.
This is a matter of life and death, your brothers and sisters. So because you were too embarrassed, or because there were too many worldly benefits to gain from those political allegiances that you had. You went ahead and shed the blood of your own brothers and sisters and drove them out of their homes. This is a very serious crime.
Similarly,
Muslims have been placed in positions maybe, God forbid, where they might have to do the same.
shed the blood of their own brothers and sisters or drive them out of their homes. I have the villa. What kind of a commitment
it or allegiance or alliance would force you into such a position. This is one of the Kabbalah is one of the major sins, shedding children,
brothers and sisters blood or driving them out of their homes or persecuting them.
So they sold, they sold their Acura for this temporary dimia for some cheap price. It's the same. We've been seeing all of the verses of minis Right, right brothers and sisters, the same idea. They've done it before. They're taking this Dean as a joke. They're reneging on their promises. They're breaking their covenants. They love the dunya so much
that they end up losing their Acura because of it hula it can Nadine Estrada will hire to dunya and akhira My dear brothers and sisters, nothing
is worth your
if we hypothetically say
because of the decisions that you ended up making, hypothetically,
that you are going to live the worst life?
Yes,
a life full of difficulties and trials. But throughout all of that you are patient
and you seek what is with Allah azza wa jal that is enough. You have one you have succeeded.
Five maybe you had a difficult life. You didn't live as beautiful as a life as so and so. But in the end,
you got what Allah azza wa jal promised, you got the ultimate paradise eternity.
Right.
But to sell that, because of the dunya ya allah
even though technically if you were to look at it and analyze it.
And here are my dear brothers and sisters, is the alternate gold.
And this dunya is not even a little stone
or
a piece of mud.
And even if it was the opposite, I can't go into too much detail, even if it was the opposite. And the HERA was this mud and this dunya was heaps of gold,
which is more worth it. Something that will is fleeting and temporary and will end eventually or something that is eternal.
But ultimately it is the accurate which is the ultimate goal in this dunya which is nothing and you find people selling that accurate for the dunya this is what they did. So Allah is telling us what kind of disposition
permitted them to commit such a serious crime and break the covenant with Allah azza wa jal and now we ask our dear sisters as well and the children with them to focus with us just for a few minutes
oh Allah ECOWAS holidays so that's it.
Like Alina Stella will hire to dunya will ask
you for an Humala hijab. This is no joke, fella, you have one formula, the punishment for them will not be lightened to continue this way. And sometimes it is hard to think of that because in the dunya, we are used to fluctuation, right? We're used to things going up and down. We're not used to complete consistency something not changing at all. Further you have to follow and formula either the other determinant is continuous. It is not lightened Allah azza wa jal and there is none more truthful than him is telling us the punishment will not be lightened Subhanak era Mr. Allah Lafayette whether you have to for one homeowner either went home noon Solomon, what's the other
option? Okay, punishment is not lightened, but maybe somebody will eventually help them when a home yawns Harun, they will not be aided they will not be supported. They will be in that tournament forever.
Think of that before next time. You are in front of a decision
where it is? My dunya or my Acura? Am I selling my Acura for my dunya? Forget it. I live like a prisoner and I will not sell my Acura and thus you understand the authentic hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when he said duniya see gentle movement. This dunya is like a prison for the believer. Well Jenna told Catherine and it is paradise for the disbeliever.
Then Allah subhana wa Taala tells us
so he was telling us about how the broke their covenant. There were a set of verses about the covenant starting all the way back from later Abu Duna in Allah and then let us speak with him right
now, he says, and it's actually continuing along the same lines as we'll see.
What are the Athena moosend keytab.
But we know that Allah subhanaw taala gave the book to Sally Silla, which book is this?
Well,
he mentioned the book before, he said the whole
take what you have been given what I gave you with strength and determination, right?
So you mentioned the book before, but he's mentioning it now. Again, almost as if it seems like it is being repeated, but you're gonna see why it is mentioned. When Athena Musa al Kitab
welcome Faye in the Hebrew Rasul
la casa in an embody the Rasul here, meaning and then we sent the rustle the messengers.
After that, after him,
so many messengers were sent after Musa alayhis, salam,
And subhanAllah all of them are from Venezuela.
They're all from Venezuela. We know that many Israel had many prophets come to them, and these prophets peace be upon them all. Were from Venezuela in lockup financing daddy, bear Rasul Allah
but here we need to stop for a second.
I tell them who sell keytab we'll give him the Tamra and then we sent after him.
A Russell
Russell trial translated messengers.
The Quran talks about Rasul but it also talks about
the other type of via prophets. Is there a difference?
Have You Ever Have you ever thought of that distinction? Raise your hand if you have just to get an idea. Okay, don't be shy. Don't be modest. Have you ever thought or read or know the distinction between profit and Messenger?
I think everyone has essentially right
so
what's the difference? Is it is it set by the way is it fixed or is there like a difference of opinion between scholars?
So there is a difference right? So what what what do you know or what have you read
I'm gonna get very thirsty if I keep talking Yes brother.
Okay, okay. I have something but I know I know to speak okay speak after other Suica
Ambia are sent with books
are coming just to
cover for the book or to refresh them so if I understand what you're saying you hadn't reversed it I get
the message right right
right I'll explain a little bit more
anything else? Yes brother.
Russell is
his own call his own people he's okay Nabi
haha okay. So the NABI does not actually
propagate Yeah. Or teach. Okay, that's another opinion yes, anything else?
specific
patient
Nebby may be sent to many nations
by
Rasul
the prophets or seller
okay.
Yes.
So, people tend to the disbelievers AHA
followers, okay.
For upgrades or change doors, and then we just continue. Okay, thank you, the brother kind of summarized it.
And indeed, all of these opinions scholars have professed, and it's kind of an issue. Okay, there's a difference of opinion. And then when you look at the different Ayad, and this is one of those eyes. Okay, so, remember Tabari is very clear.
Book a final embody version A and B are the Nissa. Eel. Okay? Usually we talk about MBR bene throw in the profits of Benissa, in right after Musa alayhis salam, why? Because they are all coming to confirm the Torah of Musa alayhis salam, they are not coming with a new Sharia. Yes, they are confirming the book and the Sharia of Musa alayhis salam. So they're all considered NBS, and the man of Tabriz calls them and then you throw him, and he doesn't go into
trying to explain it much. He says here, a Russian meaning Ambia. Okay. And possibly
this could be understood, from the vantage point of
the principle
that in some of these situations where
there might be some similarity between two terms.
When those two terms come together in an IRA, the necessarily the meaning is different. And that's why they came together.
On the other hand, when it comes on its own,
it doesn't necessarily mean that there's a distinction. It could mean
the other meaning as well. This may apply to Nebby Rasul. It applies to a large extent to Islam and Eman. So when you read Islam, it essentially means Iman and possibly vice versa. But if in the same idea Islam and Eman are mentioned, it seems that there's going to be a distinction in the meeting, right. So possibly with that in mind, the amount of Tabari just says what is meant here or and be at the knees right and and of course, we know that the ones that are meant are the ones who are sent after Mousavi Salah and they're all prophets. Okay? So the prophets of Israel Elijah Wood and Sulaiman
in Yes, the carry Yeah, these are all the prophets of many struggle and they are prophets. They came to confirm the Torah. Even Raisa Ali Salam, the last
says that he came to confirm the Torah mind you with a slight qualification which is now are you silent Salah is going to permit some of the things that were forbidden for banning straws.
So he's a Rasul. And he is from poodle hasn't been a Rasul right, or they'll hazard the five best messengers of Allah
waka Feynan, daddy, Heba Rasul.
So, we might ask ourselves, why are they being called Russel here?
And it comes later as well.
When he says of a coulomb kumara
Phu Kham.
So even then he's mentioning Rasul. So we're talking about messengers,
even actual attempts to the great well known professor attempts to understand why here the term is BS that's being used is Russell
saying that something along the lines of that, yes, they are confirming the Torah, but they seem to have been given something a little bit extra and over what the NBA has been given.
more leeway,
if you will,
for the purpose of implementing
Mission of the Torah and the Sharia of Musa alayhis salam.
And he quotes Al Imam Al fakra Razi, the great professor who quotes the great Imam, I'll call the callback and Lani who says
that either they were given some kind something new, more than Musa alayhis salam had been given, and maybe that's why they are being called drusen. So, you see that they are trying to explain the term not so much just making it synonymous with NaVi.
Or he said the other possibility and this is interesting, the attempt to Revive, revive some of which has been obliterated
and neglected from the shadows of Musa alayhis salam. So in that sense,
they are being called Rosewood because they are doing something a little bit more than an abbey would do because the Nabi is just confirming and just
teaching but it seems that they have a little bit more
and that's why they are being called Russell here.
Interestingly
PDS
Ali Salah
is called one of the world's elite. We're in India, so let me tell mousseline
but we know he's from Zambia when he
is a newbie it didn't come with a new Sharia it didn't come with a new book. Right? So Subhanallah there are different opinions about this. Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola. But here, he says what a phenom in that idea he Bill Russell
was telling us is happening Marijana and by Gina
will be Rochelle produce.
So he just mentioned Musa Ali salah, all the prophets that came after him, so many prophets of Israel
and going all the way to our isa Ali Salam. And we know after a Sally Sarah
who came
not immediately
the Prophet sallallahu Sallam there's nobody between the ISA and the prophets of Salaam. So Musa mentioned all in the prophets just like that will Cafe them embody will resume but then will attain a Sabina Maria. We will have maybe in a Russell greatest messengers attain our E Sabina Maria notice also Subhanallah
in order to confirm the great miracle of very Sally Selim and his mother, Mary Mr. Lee has salah.
Isa is almost always mentioned in the Quran, and attributed to his mother. Are you 70?
How often do you see the other prophets
attributed to their fathers?
Even Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
he's mentioned his name is mentioned Mohammed Mohammed Abdullah, right
and the rest of the prophets but Isa 70 Meriam.
What I tell you now are east of Namibia, Melba Yuna as begin at the clear signs and proves he needed them because he was dealing with many extra eel. And now Whoa, God forbid, he's coming to deuce a few tweaks to the Sharia of musasa. Ziff, Subhan Allah, they were so strict about following every single letter of the Torah, they didn't change a thing.
Obviously I'm being sarcastic.
He Salah Salem is not changing things to make your life difficult. He's making your life easier.
When your handler combined with the hurry Malaika he's coming to meet permissible some of that which was made forbidden because of the way you acted.
But he was going to face the greatest difficulties now.
And therefore he needs proofs, clear signs that he is a messenger of Allah
So Allah azza wa jal gave him many signs attained a Santa Maria and Burkina what a year dinner who we are ocean kudos and Subhanallah we don't find this term,
this qualification
for the other prophets, we know of course Allah azza wa jal mentioned the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and how Jibreel came to him, and verses of that nature, but this term is repeated in the Quran. And the one the only one
that is targeted through it is Isa Elisa lab.
Watain isobella. Maria.
Maria, well, but you're not a year nurse who will help others. So the clear proofs and signs such as what were some of those clear proofs that a salad salon was given? Many?
First of all,
you're definitely born without a father. That is miracle enough. Yes. What else? The children know. Some of the great things that ASA Ali Salam did, yes. Prophet ASA, the miracles. He did some miracles right?
Yes, kids. No, no, he didn't. He didn't believe me.
So what did he do what else?
Cure. He cured the sick. He healed the blind, the lepers by all by Allah's permission. Right. What else?
And he talked after the miracle birth. He also spoke spoken as infancy. Yeah. What else?
Was wisdom, wisdom. Okay.
So we're talking about miracles here. We want something that is like a miracle, right, something that is supernatural. He even resurrected, the dead
by Allah's permission, by Alaska, all by Allah's permission.
And of course, the bird making something in the form of a bird from mud and then blowing into it, and then it becomes a bird with Allah's permission, and amazing miracles He showed to them. Well, I'd say in recent memory have been at what a year dinner will be Rochelle kudos. And we helped him and supported him with whom? Rohan who knows what were you just say it, you feel the power of it. rowhill Kudos, what or who is to help others?
Gibreel Ali Salam. The most common opinion is that this is Jabri. Jabril Ali Salam is mentioned in the Quran in many places as a rah, rah Amin, right? He is that spirit will help us the pure Spirit, what is coming from purity.
Allah azza wa jal is a produce is the most pure, raw. That's why Sun sent us here is Allah, Ro headquarters, the Spirit from Allah, Rochelle cudos, or the pure Spirit.
According to
many, this is Gibreel honey Salah
again, interestingly Jabril Ali Salam came to many of the prophets and messengers, who is the one who was responsible for for bringing the books
Gibreel Ali Salam.
But here, he's singling out a salad. So now it seems that he got more Wallah, one of his assistants, maybe for all of these miracles
or something else
a year now who be who has called us. We supported him with the pure Spirit. And this is very possibly what the Christians unfortunately later on,
tampered with, and ours started to call the Holy Spirit and the Holy Ghost, right. Yes, they talk about Archangel Gabriel. But now there seems to be a distinction. Yeah. And all of a sudden, this ghost or spirit is part of the Trinity.
Right?
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost to the Holy Spirit to *, Allah Amaya who Loon
The pure spirit is Gibreel
He had to know how to produce some said a rush here is in G. The book that he was given because in the other eye Allah subhanaw taala also mentioned
will cover the cow hyena in a car or Hanneman Emelina row Hanneman Emelina for the Quran calling the Quran Aurora.
So, Roche here some said is the book the engine by Limon authority was quite
fierce against this opinion.
And he said this is because if you go to the other area
where is a yet to Kabiru Hill kudos, he mentioned there are others as well. But then after that, he says, What is the alum to Calcutta about when Hikmah what Terrazza will indeed
and I have taught you al Kitab al Hikmah and the Torah and the NG
So, there is repetition there. And he said the words of Allah subhanaw taala are to be absolved of such repetition
we cannot say that supporting him with it'll help others supporting them with the NG and then later saying we talked to the NG
here the common opinion is that he was supported by rowhill Kudos arrowhead kudos is Gibreel la sera EFA cool lemma calm. Now, is it the case that whenever a messenger and he mentioned the tools of hon Allah, whenever a messenger comes to you,
Mima Allah Azza wa unphysical
that your desires or whom you do not desire? So is it the case that whenever a messenger comes to you, whom you do not desire? Subhanallah when did the messenger ship or prophecy, be connected to anyone's desire? This is Allah, Allahu Allah, Allah.
Allah. Allah knows where he is, putting his message and who he is choosing. It's not according to your whims. You want to do whatever you want in your life, that's your life. This is a messenger sent to you from Allah. It's not through whims and desires, trash your whims and desires and submit for once
Rasul Allah Hawa And Foucault
went against their Hawa went against their winds, their desires, their wishes.
It's not about what you want. It's about what Allah azza wa jal is commanding. And my dear brothers and sisters, if there's anything
that is destroying us, it is how
vain whims and desires
the Quran is replete with the command to not follow one's desires
in different aspects of one's religiosity.
So now, every time a messenger comes to you, and it doesn't quite
jive with your wishes, and your wins, is stuck back to you become arrogant.
And you refuse to submit and you refuse to believe.
And I wish it stopped there. It didn't stop there for very conquer them to failure and taka to learn Allahu Akbar. So when that happens, there will be a group of those prophets and messengers that you disbelieve in that you reject and you do not follow.
And another group that you kill
these you disbelieved in and you rejected and these, you killed. So it's, it's interesting, it's almost like
it's either this or that failure can conductor we're very fantastical. There is no third option. You either rejected them, or you killed them. This is why he's mentioning one trainer who sell keytab he's essentially saying, we sent you Musa alayhis salaam with the book. We then followed him up with so many messengers, all the way up until the ESA Ali Salam who came to you with clear signs and was supported by Rochelle kudos, and then after all of that,
you either
reject,
where you kill those messengers. This is your history. This is your diploma your report card,
rejecting or killing people from the time of Musa the Serb, although, of course, the killing happened later as we know what Subhanallah the Quran records in several locations, that they actually killed the
prophets, peace be upon them.
Musa Ali Salam, we saw how much trouble they gave him, and how much they rejected, and how much they disbelieved and how it took a mountain over their heads, to get them to finally submit, and they just keep on breaking the covenants and reneging. And it keeps happening over and over and repeating itself.
Who did they kill many? Even the Bible, even the corrupted Bible confirms this. And maybe it would have confirmed a lot more if it wasn't then changed and adulterated.
And some of their books as well. Some of the old books, Jewish texts,
talk about some of the killings of the prophets, but Subhanallah those books have been placed in the category of apocrypha. Apocrypha, meaning books that cannot really be trusted, their authenticity is not 100% Alhamdulillah the Quran confirms and is very clear, and has repeated this rebuke, that you have killed the prophets. But back to the Bible. Yes, the Old Testament is quite clear.
We know that Isaiah
was killed, and it wasn't a merciful kill. It mentions that he was sawed in half, Allahu Akbar.
You know, let that sink for a second. We're not talking about injuring or hurting just an innocent person.
That itself would be enough of a crime. But now imagine if this is an important person in the community. A scholar up Prophet
SAW then half Allahu Akbar, Jeremiah
possibly was stoned, and flogged.
One of the great prophets of Minnesota, Ezekiel
possibly suffered a similar fate.
Elijah in the US
eleison.
Isaiah
Jeremiah Urmia, Ezekiel has been
okay.
Arabic
Elijah in Yes, yes, run away.
And the Bible records what he said when he was complaining to Allah subhanaw taala. And he said, Oh Allah, the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant. In other words, they broke your covenant
and they have also
desecrated your altars or something to that effect. And then he says, And they killed
your prophets, they slayed them slain your profits. And he says and I am running away from them, and they are after me to kill me.
And of course,
Risa Lisanna He chastises them again, in the Bible.
He chastises the the scribes and the Pharisees. Then the famous verses, one verse after another Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees for all kinds of things that they did. And one of them was the killing of the prophets. And then they said, We will not be like our forefathers who shed the blood of the Prophet so he tells them, Oh, so you testify against yourselves that your ancestors had shed the blood of the prophets. This isn't the Bible.
The Quran tells us and that's all we need. The failure can cause them to wear funny, Taka to Loon The Korean yeah
Either he must sell him killed
is or the great profits of many Israel. So now imagine the people who either rejected or
slew the profits.
And now what do you expect from them?
So this is why he mentioned Welaka Athena muscle Kitab aka phenom embody the Rasul and then you connect it back to breaking the covenant, when they come their own brothers and sisters, because of their political alliances.
is killing their brothers and sisters is easy if they can actually kill the prophets of Allah.
So it's all part of the same
disease for them to Wi Fi can talk to loon.
I have one more idea, wondering if I can take it
scholars try to understand why the distinction here in the verb for ferry Hunka lepto conductor was passed, where ferry can talk to noon, this is present.
And a group of them you kill not you killed. We know what happened in the past and now he's talking to the hood at the time of the Prophet sallallahu sallam. Some said
this may be an indication
that they also tried killing the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
and indeed
play the role in his death sallallahu alayhi wa sallam because of what he ate from that poisoned animal in Highbury.
And he said it sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he was complaining about the Allah Agha. He said to her, I still find some pain
from the poison that they gave me However, and this was years ago Subhan Allah, it didn't kill him.
But it had an effect. Then he said, Well had a word on Clif Bar and Harry
Subhanak er
Maybe Allah Allah, conductor of a different conductor very hunkered up to have a Rican tuck to do you have you have played and contributed also to the death of the final messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. I think I'm gonna stop it there. We'll we'll finish that one last area.
Next time and it's all connected in sha Allah. Allah subhanaw taala Allah forgive us, Allah azza wa jal give us knowledge of the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala make us of those who are
positively affected by its reminders and it's exhortations as I've come along Hira Masada Los Alamos
every week
yeah.
That also is not it's not a consensus of scholars. The shift is mentioning that some
there's an opinion that the ones who were killed were prophets and be and not Russian.
And some of the verses of the Quran seem to suggest otherwise if we take Rasul here as meaning Rasul, then of Aquila, muda Corazon de mala Taiwan.
Stockwell to refer to a very contact. So there does seem to be some evidence in the Quran. Again, if we take Rasul here as meaning Rasool, if we take it possibly as Imam Tabari did to me in the MBR of Bani Israel and that here Rasul is not a distinction, talking about the messengers, but rather about the Prophet. So it will be talking about the prophets. A few years later, we're coming to it on the next page in sha Allah, He says very much back to Luna
Allah, right. Just on the next page. You went to Zambia there. Yeah. So there is an opinion that
the Russell viruses are not
killed or cannot be killed.
But there's not there isn't a consensus on that. It's an opinion
So the opinion and it's, it's, it's a deduction based on some of the Quranic verses, but then if you look at others, you may find like this one that it may be a reference to some of the messengers in the case of the prophets of Salaam, he wasn't he wasn't killed by the poison, if he was killed, there would have been immediate right? He lived for several years after the poison and hyper
but it seems to have contributed to it
will allow to Allah Allah, of course, the reason that you know that deduction was made as well is that as the Rasul is coming with with
a book and a Sharia, then it seems, let's say counterproductive if they are not protected and they can be killed, but the MBR because they are just confirming the message that came before so it happened that they were killed. So this is this is an opinion but let's just say that the jury's still out, possibly on that one and they're still like, you still find some like debate about it. Allow to Allah Allah
anything else?
By the pilot along with the handshake, Allah Allah Allah and stuff you're okay one or two. What do they
do?
