00:01:10 --> 00:01:15
			My brothers and sisters we continue with the Tafseer of Surah Al Baqarah.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:24
			And we got to the following verses. Allah subhanaw taala says that the ministry honorable James

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			so he says if I talk Mona you mean hola como.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			Now we see that
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			there seems to be a transition.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:03:15
			We were always talking about the Jews of Bani Israel. The stories of Bani Israel of the past Allah
subhanaw taala was telling us about the stories of Bani Israel, that history what they had done,
their crimes, their disobedience, things that Allah azza wa jal was mentioning and reminding them
about and reminding the Muslims about. Now, he is talking about the Jews that are
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:26
			living with the Muslims in Medina. So now he's talking about the present Jews and their situation.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:27
			So
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:52
			he tells the Muslims EFA dogma ona and Manu Lacan, this is a reference to the Jews that are amongst
you now. For that matter own, do you really hope or covered, that they will become believers that
the Jews around you will become believers? Of course, this is in Medina,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:04:38
			the Muslims are living with the Jews. There is coexistence between the Muslims and the Jews of
Medina. You have the unsolved, who have some fairly good relationships with the Jews. So yes, they
did cover it, they did want them to become Muslims. They hoped that they would become Muslims. But
Allah subhanaw taala is telling them otherwise, effort of my own, do you really hope do you really
think that they will become believers and you mean will that come after tomorrow that you mean will
come work or they can fit for minimum, then he takes them to the past?
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:59
			So do you think or do you cover that they will become Muslims, they will become believers and follow
your Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when this is what their ancestors used to do. So
in the first instance, you will give them an example from their ancestors.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:05
			Welcome to Karna fairy for minimum and there was a group of them.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			Then
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			you smile Oh Nicola Mala.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:16
			Who would hear the speech of Allah
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:25
			yes my own Akella Mala film now you have a foreigner who when they will distort it
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:58
			first of all effort of my own and you may know let them wakad karna fairy on minimum, a group of
them not all of them, the Quran is always Subhanallah it is precise and this is the way Muslims
should be as well. We should be precise when we are talking we don't necessarily generalize to all
the Quran itself is saying 31 minutes not all of them. A loop of them.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:32
			Yes, smart winner Kayla Allah, they would hear the speech of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. Notice, this is
one of many that proves that Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks, this is one of the attributes of Allah
subhanaw taala which is the Quran confirms Qlm Allah the speech of Allah, Allah speaks and the Quran
is the speech of ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala and this is the belief of the Sunnah.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:39
			Yes, my owner Kalam Allah, they would hear the speech of ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			what is the speech of Allah here in this ayah
		
00:06:48 --> 00:07:15
			there's actually some differences of opinion. It may seem immediately obvious, but there's some
difference of opinion. What could that be? What is the color of Allah here? Okay, what kind of ad
hominem yes wow, that Hello. Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola be thorough, right? seems fairly self
explanatory here the switch of Allah is a Torah that Allah subhanaw taala give to Musa alayhis
salam.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:21
			And this was the opinion of many,
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			however,
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			even is half
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:35
			narrates that this is not the Torah. This is not what is meant by your smartphone or calla Mala.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:42
			Rather, he says they all heard the Torah so why would he say
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:48
			that Federico minimum? Yes. Now Nicola Mala a group of them heard
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:53
			the speech of Allah, they all heard the speech of Allah as he says.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:58
			So the opinion of urbanists hap and others
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:14
			of the tabular in that did tafsir they said, this is actually the group of 70, the cream of the crop
that we're with Musa alayhis salaam when he went to Japan the poor,
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:23
			and that they actually heard the speech of Allah as Musa alayhis salam heard the speech of Allah
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			can see some bewildered faces?
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:37
			Yes, Maulana Kalam Allah, they heard the speech of Allah.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:43
			Can it apply to the Torah? Absolutely. What about the 70?
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			Is it possible that they also heard the speech of Allah?
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:59
			It's my own Allah, Allah is the opinion of women has happened others that they heard the speech of
Allah, as the prophets do, and as new Salah Salem did,
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:25
			some who may argue against that would say, if they also heard the speech of Allah, then they are
like Musa de Sena, as if Allah spoke to them as well. Then what is the use of saying what is the
uniqueness of saying, Musa alayhis salam is the killing of Allah is the One to whom Allah spoke.
Right? Seems like a fair argument.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:31
			How was Musala Salam, then unique, if they also heard it?
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:43
			We might say that Musa alayhis salam may have engaged in a conversation with Allah they didn't. They
were just hearing what Allah had to say is my owner, Callum Allah.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:45
			Yes.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:48
			Josie
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:58
			and other scholars said this is not correct. And the opinion of evidence hat here is based on
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			a
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:06
			his own narration, which in this case may not be authentic,
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			and that as we said, this will then
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			cancel the uniqueness of the
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:20
			Prophet Musa alayhis salaam being the one to whom Allah subhanaw taala spoke Kaleem Allah.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:44
			But then even harder after mentioning this also retorts and says, but the texts from the Quran and
the Hadith seem to indicate that the uniqueness of Musa alayhis salam is in something a little bit
extra, not just that Allah spoke to him.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			Because we may say that Allah azza wa jal spoke to others.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			Yes, Allah spoke to Adam and he said,
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:56
			Allah spoke to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:06
			So he says that the texts of the Quran and the Sunnah seem to indicate that there's something a
little bit more
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:16
			unique about it. And if that was indeed the case, then the possibility that they also heard the
speech of Allah is there,
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:28
			that those 70 Heard the speech of Allah subhanho wa taala. And interestingly, an imam povery
supports this opinion very strongly.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:45
			That it is the 70 who were with him? They actually heard the speech of Allah subhanaw taala. And he
claims if it was Otherwise, he wouldn't have said what kind of funny hoomin whom, yes, ma Nicola
Mala. You would have said something like waka Khanna,
		
00:11:47 --> 00:12:32
			very familiar whom you have any foreigner, Kala Mala. And you wouldn't have actually mentioned this
first part, which is yes, my own Akella Mala. If we take the other opinion, that this is actually
the Torah that this is that they heard the speech of Allah and then they distorted it, we might say
that he mentioned wakad kind of theory on minimum that there was a group of them that heard the
speech of Allah and then distorted it. So Allah subhanaw taala is saying that this group, yes, all
of them heard the Torah. But this group heard the Torah heard the speech of Allah and then distorted
it. So why did he mention Yes, my honor kalaba Allah, because He's emphasizing the egregiousness of
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			the sin.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:36
			They heard the speech of Allah,
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42
			the Torah, and then they distorted it.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:13:00
			And this is the worst that it can get. Awkward kind of coming home, your smart home that can anima
familiar Hadley foreigner who mean that in lieu Mahonia Allah moon, then they distorted it, they
tampered with it.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:37
			Was it just a simple tampering? based on ignorance? No, they understood it. Remember, the MA Lu,
they understood what Allah subhanaw taala was saying, and what he was, what the indication was, what
the interpretation was of his speech, and then they distorted it and they tampered with it. This is
the worst part while homea Allah moon, and they know how egregious This is, they know what a
destructive sin this is.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:54
			So notice, they heard the speech of Allah one, they understood it, too. They know how evil This is
three, and yet, they committed this vile sin, to change the words of Allah Subhana Allah.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:03
			If this was the Torah, then changing the switch of Allah here would be
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:19
			distorting the words of Allah in distorting its meaning. We know that distortion may be of several
types, one, distorting the meaning, you keep the text as it is, but you say no, but this actually
means something else.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:59
			This is not what this means, even though they know what this means. Remember the Maya Lu, they
understood it. But then they gave another interpretation. As vile as changing the words themselves.
No difference. The other type of distortion is changing the words itself playing around. We saw this
in the Old Testament and the New Testament, actual versus being deleted. Other verses being added
parts of versus being changed. Words inserted words omitted. Allahu Akbar, distortion of the words
of ALLAH to my Johari funa whom embody Maha
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:00
			What
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:06
			if we take the opinion of even his heart and poverty and others?
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:16
			This is the 70, who actually heard the speech of Allah. Some narrations mentioned that when they
went back to the people,
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:26
			Musa alayhis salam would say, This is what Allah said. And they would say, actually, this is what
Allah sent your law.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:40
			Can you believe it? So they heard the speech of Allah like Musa heard it. And then when they went
back, we started playing around, they didn't transmit it
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:46
			to the rest of the followers, the way they actually heard it from Allah.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:53
			Through may you have a fuller who, in the Edina Hailu home yeah, honeymoon.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:16:12
			Again, go back effort Optima owner a you knew loco, do you really hope they really think that they
are going to believe. So Allah subhanho wa Taala is actually making them fall into despair.
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:49
			of them believing don't have that hope in the first place. When this is what they used to do. This
is what their ancestors used to do. They used to play around with the speech of Allah and distort
it. Do you then expect them to believe someone whose hearts are as hard as was mentioned before,
that they would distort the speech of Allah the Torah, or they heard the speech of Allah with
Mousavi Salam, and then they're playing around with it, you expect them to believe don't have that
hope.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:17:06
			And of course, this applies to us today. It applies at the time of the province I was 11 applies
today, for tomorrow. And I mean, this is what they used to do. And eventually he's going to talk
about what they are doing now as well. But this is one example. This is what they used to do.
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:19
			no M and Abby, Asha Romina, Lea hood, the M and abelia hood.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:25
			If 10 of the Jews believe in me,
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			all the Jews will believe in me.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:44
			Of course, scholars discuss this hadith, because they said actually, more than 10 did believe more
than 10 Jews did believe in the prophets of Salaam, many eventually believed.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:52
			So some said actually what is meant that 10 of the scholars of the Jews
		
00:17:56 --> 00:18:03
			of course one of the scholars of the Jews did believe his name is Abdullah bin Salman. Right only
Allah Han
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:08
			and some may say even that Mohammed
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:19
			was another one of their scholars who believed when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
after develop offered, that McCarrick is the best of the juice.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:34
			So some said those two believes. And what is meant is that if 10 Normally, and that would be the
whole 12 leaders of the Jews that are mentioned in surah, Thelma ADA
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			biasa Ramona Leah who behold
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:47
			maybe another opinion is if 10 of the Jews were to believe at the same time.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:19:35
			And that's an interesting one. Because if they all believe at the same time, then maybe everyone
else will follow when one or two believes they're immediately cast away, as heretics as pariahs as
ignorance as whatever, and therefore the rest wouldn't follow. So maybe if 10 believed all together,
then it would have an effect on others and others would have believed as well. Subhanallah the point
of the Hadith if 10 were to believe all the Jews were to believe were would believe they did not. In
other words, don't have that false hope that they will believe. And of course, this idea
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:52
			shows us how evil it is to play around with the words of Allah subhanaw taala to make you hungry
food at home in the mouth. And here let us talk specifically about distortion of meaning. Meaning
that
		
00:19:54 --> 00:20:00
			of course, that distortion distorting the words is the one of the most
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:21
			Evil sins as well, right? But, but that's on another level to actually play around, change the words
change the verses add and subtract. But this is another type of a sinister distortion of the words
of Allah subhanaw taala as well, because
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:31
			ostensibly you have kept it intact. He was the word of Allah. But then you play around and you say
no, but this is not what is meant
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:35
			when
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:37
			you
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			when I was given a must have
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:46
			a very beautiful translation of the most half
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			my the Kardashians
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			beautiful, obviously,
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57
			they spent money on it.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:28
			So I immediately went to the translation, I immediately went to which I can you guess? So obviously,
one of the main issues with the caveat is that they claim that we'll have an idea and here's another
profit. So what do you do with the wacky Rasul Allah, Muhammad, maybe the seal of the Prophet so I
went there immediately opened up long footnotes,
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:30
			right there,
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:56
			playing around with the word of Allah, trying to distort what exactly is the meaning of the seal of
the Prophet? does it actually mean? The last of the prophets? Does it mean something else? Does it
mean maybe the last of the prophets, but not necessarily the last prophet? There may be other
prophets that will come after but from his line
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:57
			Subhana
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:05
			Allah playing around with the words of Allah subhanaw taala Of course, what do you do with that
hadith?
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:19
			This is part of the problem. When you have groups like the Quran knights, who say we only take from
the Quran and we don't take from the Hadith Oh playing with the deen of Allah distorting the deen of
Allah subhana wa taala.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:35
			But this is an example of where you keep the words in tact. But then you play around with the
interpretation. No, no, no, we want a modern interpretation. Let's try to now have a modern
interpretation of the Quran.
		
00:22:37 --> 00:23:22
			Again, this is part of the Hadith. From May you have the full name embody Mahalo. There are people
who claim the hijab is not in the Quran, who said that women are to cover their hair and wear the
hijab? No, the word hijab is there but it doesn't mean this. Okay? And the other verses No, this is
not about hijab, they're playing around with the words of ALLAH, they're distorting the words of
Allah. It's very serious. So now you have the fool now who embody ma Lu wahome. Yang. So when Allah
subhanaw taala says that they understood it, and they knew what an evil sin this is.
		
00:23:23 --> 00:24:11
			So there is no excuse. There is no excuse where we might say, Oh, this is that will, or this is
unacceptable that we owe there's a difference of opinion. Yes, there's a difference of opinion, I
just gave you the difference of opinion. Now, the amorphous serene and the opinion of Obon is hot
and the opinion of Mr. Tabari but this is an acceptable way, an acceptable opinion, not something
that goes against the fundamentals or that which is known by necessity, or clear Hadith of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam or twisting the words of ALLAH around and saying no, this is
what it means playing around with the with the language, maybe coming up with an interpretation, the
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:36
			language simply cannot give you how can you interpret it this way? You cannot possibly get that
meaning from that word, which means this in the Arabic language, you cannot just make things up and
say this is what the meaning is. Okay. So recently I heard something similar Subhanallah and you
might you might have heard it as well.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:42
			Is this what is meant by the verse or not?
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:56
			Even if you look at the different opinions, is it a test which may be acceptable or not? There are
rules for this. You don't just make it up or
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			possibly play around with
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:35
			because of pressure, very, very serious, especially nowadays, with all of the propaganda against
Islam and Muslims, oh, we can tweak it. No, this is not exactly what the Quran is saying this is not
exactly what is meant by this verse, why? Because of pressure because of political pressure, because
of propaganda. Sometimes it can be very seamless, but this is somebody you respect and somebody you
know, and somebody who's knowledgeable.
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:39
			Yes, but the pressure is very great as well.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:46
			Is this possibly what is meant by the idea or not?
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:52
			From you have the foreigner who in the zoo or who may Allah Moon
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			stop there or should we take the next
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:06
			step? Do you guys need time to get ready? We stop here, okay. In sha Allah, we will continue next
time.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:20
			The verses are all interconnected and somewhat related. We will continue in next time in sha Allah,
