			she said we
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:27
			most definitely. That is one who walks fallen on his face better guided, or one who walks erect on a
straight path
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			after Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			in the previous verses
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			directed the speech to the kuffar
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:47
			telling them and reminding them that no one can support them
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			and be an aid to them, if Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:02:53 --> 00:03:03
			or the community to them besides Allah subhanho wa Taala and that they're thinking that is merely
because of their arrogance, and because they are deluded
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:15
			and also reminding them that if Allah azza wa jal stopped that provision, who will provide for them
and who will be able to provide for them? No one but Allah subhanho wa taala. This is
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:22
			a very important reminder for people who do not live these ideas and understand them.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			And then Allah subhanho wa taala.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			In this, the following verse
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:56
			gives an example, a beautiful metaphor, to show the difference between a believer and a disbeliever.
You can see all of the discussion all of these verses, they are all concerning. Speaking to some of
the disbelievers trying to correct some of the ideas concerning their creed and their faith and so
on.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:24
			When he says FM and Yom Shem Kibana Allah wa G, this is an example he is given. Otherwise, it's not
necessarily a reality. The example is one who is walking, falling on his face, this can give you
many different meanings, and the scholars of the field have given some of these different meanings,
yet machine will keep falling on his face, this is
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:32
			maybe the best that they can do to translate it otherwise you cannot find all of the meanings in
that will keep that can mean
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			literally falling on his face,
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:56
			walking and falling on their face. This is one minute. Another meaning could be leaving in their
walk leaving downward so that their faces almost it's almost as if they are falling to their face
but not necessarily falling on their face.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			These two meanings, sir
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:08
			have several other meetings. What could it mean if someone is walking and falling on their face?
Number one, it could mean they are blind.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			Number two, it can mean that
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			the road they are walking on
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:25
			is not straight. And it is not smooth. It is rough. And it is rocky and it's going right and left.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:42
			And therefore, they are constantly falling on their face, they walk a little bit and then they fall
and so on. Another meaning could be that they are leaning downwards, because the road itself is not
straight, and they are trying to find
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			trying to find the correct and the straight path.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:06:03
			All of these meanings apply like your brothers and sisters to the disbeliever. The disbeliever walks
in this way, it's a beautiful example. The disbeliever is walking in their life in this fashion.
They are walking with their face downward.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:24
			They're not walking straight, they're not walking proud. They're walking, disgraced, they're walking
confused. They're so confused in life, don't ever think that they are not. And this is one of those
verses that chose this, that they are ultimately confused, no matter how much they show you
certainty in their speech.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:36
			And concerning their faith and their creed. And their understanding, believe me, the foundation they
are standing on is extremely wobbly. And if you are firm,
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			and you use firm arguments, you will shake that foundation.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:52
			And this is one of those meanings. Because they walk in the first place falling on their face. They
are walking on a path disgraced, downward.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:02
			They are confused, they're not sure about the past, they're trying to find their way. You can
imagine a person maybe in the midst of the jungle,
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:20
			and it's dark, and they can't quite find their way. They're walking through sometimes some bushes,
they hit a tree, then they they trip on a rock and then they fall and they get back up and they keep
going. This is the way they are going in life. Therefore don't be surprised
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:37
			that they enter a new world when they do find Islam if they do find Islam. It's almost like it's
it's a whole world has been opened up and lit for them they were removed from darkness into light.
And this is when their work
		
00:07:39 --> 00:08:03
			changes into the other one that we are coming to otherwise they're walking, fallen on their face,
confused. The road is not clear. The road for disbelievers not clear the path is not clear. Ask them
where are you going? Why are you here? What are you doing here? What are your goals? What are you?
What do you want to achieve? Do you believe in the afterlife? What will happen after they don't know
they don't understand these things.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:20
			As we've mentioned many times before, they know the things which are apparent which are in front of
them which they can touch. But things like this, they cannot quite understand. Even though they may
be some of the world's geniuses, they are in some of these physical things, but you
		
00:08:22 --> 00:09:09
			and you may not be as intellectual or as smart as them, you can teach them these meetings. And when
you talk to them about these meanings, believe me, it's like talking to a child, one of our
children, who was firm and there are people who can teach some of these scholars about death, and
the afterlife, and what they expect, when they are going to die and so on and how we are supposed to
live and how we are supposed to look at the world around us they know so much about the world around
them, but the most important step they have not been able to take yet which is to see who is behind
all of us. But our children may be able to tell them that I know Matt and ignorant illiterate no
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			matter may be able to teach them that
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:19
			will kill banana witchy. So they are working and they are confused and their path is not clear.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			And
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:34
			in the other meaning they may be actually falling because it's a rocky path. It's not a smooth path,
and therefore they will go and hit several obstacles.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:41
			They will hit the first obstacle in life they will hit the second obstacle in life thinking they
have finally reached
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:56
			what their soul is after. But they haven't yet until they find the religion of Allah subhanaw taala
and they follow Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam will keep what?
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			Ammonium she said we and Alison optimistic
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:34
			Keep by Allah brothers and sisters, imagine that person walking in the midst of an intertwined
jungle in the dark, as opposed to walk, someone walking on a path which has clearly been laid for
them. And it is all light and they are walking straight and it is clear where they are going. Can
you compare between these two, this is the example Allah Azzawajal is giving us, for these people in
the way they live their life, in their perceptions in their, in their spirituality in their spirit.
I mean, many of them complain about complete spiritual vacuum.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			There's nothing here.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:46
			And they're looking for it. Haven't you heard them say, I'm looking for myself, you have not heard
that before? I'm looking for myself.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:52
			It can't find themselves. They don't know themselves. They're looking for that.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:11:10
			When you ask some of the really corrupt ones, you know, why are you doing this to yourself? Why are
you you know, putting things inside their body and inside your ear and inside your, your eye and you
know, doing all kinds of things
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:42
			to their bodies. They say I'm looking for myself. It's my way of expressing myself. It's their way
of self expression. Because they don't know themselves. They're confused they're working on on a
rocky path. It's not clear. Believe me, this is a great blessing you take for granted, if you were
to lose it for an instant, and paste the * that they are in. Because of the spiritual vacuum, you
will understand the blessing of this Islam.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:45
			The other one is walking straight.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:59
			He's not bending forward, he's not hurting his back. He's walking straight, his path is clear. It is
well lit. And they are working on the straight path and going towards a focused goal.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:12
			The disbeliever is not necessarily walking towards the focus, because they don't know what that goal
is there trying to find a way. But where does it lead to? It's not quite clear.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:23
			As opposed to the role of the believer, the true believer, the Muslim, he knows exactly where he's
going, and what his goal is. And this why brothers and sisters
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:39
			is a factor that greatly facilitates things for us to achieve those goals because we know what those
goals are in the first place. Go after them. Do what you need to do to achieve those goals.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			He says
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:49
			McKibbon Allah, he just mentioned walking falling on his face.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:13:04
			And the second one he mentioned and Maryam she said we and Allah Siracusa cream, as opposed to a
believer who is walking on a straight path. In the second part, he mentioned the straight path. In
the first part, he didn't even mention the path
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			because it doesn't deserve to be called the path.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:34
			As some of the scholars put it, it's so crooked. And so you know, maneuvering, it's not even worth
calling a path it's not even about they're just trying to work somehow in the darkness, there is no
comparison between the two, my dear brothers and sisters. So praise Allah subhanaw taala for the
blessing of faith and of true faith and true understanding.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			All one lady it
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			was somehow
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			either money in
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47
			the school,
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:55
			say it is he who has produced you and made for you hearing and vision and hearts.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			Little are you grateful
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:04
			say to them, oh Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			Now remind them
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:18
			as Allah azza wa jal gave us the example of the believer and the disbeliever and the difference in
their paths in their focus in their way.
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:24
			Allah subhanaw taala then told them to remind them of that
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			which is most important
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31
			to realizing and understanding that
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:42
			and that is hearing, vision and hearts which gives them understanding it is because they don't have
those three.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:59
			They are working on that pattern that fashion as opposed to the believer. It is because these three
blessings they may have physically, but they have not used them. They have not used them for the
function that Allah has chosen.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:16
			paid them for what good is someone who hears if they cannot hear the reminders of Allah and the
warnings of Allah subhanaw taala? What good are these ears? My brothers and sisters, if all we are
using them for is to hear that which Allah azza wa jal prohibited,
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:40
			what are these eyes? By which Allah subhanaw taala has made us to see, if all we do is use them to
see that which Allah azza wa jal prohibited fear Allah subhanaw taala what good are these eyes if
they do not see, the mark of ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala in all of his signs in his universe?
		
00:15:42 --> 00:16:23
			And what good are the hearts and the brains? If they do not see, the magnificence of Allah has the
vision and the signs of Allah azza wa jal and the reminder of Allah subhanho wa Taala and his
magnificent in every single thing that happens in this world, whether good or bad, what good are
these hearts? What good is this understanding, I asked you the this understanding of the so called
genius scholar, that he is a disbeliever in Allah. And he needs Allah subhanaw taala in this way,
and he dies in that state. What good is all of his understanding his textbooks will be used for
burning?
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:32
			What good didn't do him at all? You may have been so impressed here.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:38
			But there's nothing to be improved, impressed with. When you see us a Buddha he stays that way.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:46
			The more you gain understanding of the physical world, the more you need to realize the existence of
Allah,
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:54
			the unity of Allah, the Oneness of Allah, the magnificence of Allah subhanaw taala. What God is all
of this.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			If you do not see
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:05
			that Allah subhanaw taala is the creator and the provider. And you have that as a creed in yourself.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:12
			These hearts my brothers and sisters were placed in us for understanding. In fact,
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:33
			many of the scholars said, that technically means hearts, right? But some scholars said that this is
an indication of understanding. In other words, it's an illusion. Allah azza wa jal is alluding to
understanding by using the word hearts, and we know that hearts have understanding, right?
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			We know that we mentioned before.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:44
			One lie of Colombia.
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:59
			And Allah subhanaw taala is speaking about some of the disbelievers that he has rendered to
hellfire. He said, as part of their traits that they have hearts with which they do not understand.
And the word for understanding he used was.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:10
			And obviously not in the strict sense of the word fix. In other words, jurisprudence. No, he's
talking there about meaning understanding.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:31
			And this can be understanding a general understanding these hearts, their hearts, their hearts
without understanding. So in other words, with a lot of the understanding and the Creed and the Eman
and the spirituality, it's where it's in the heart, this understanding.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:19:05
			I mean, it's a complicated relationship. Subhanallah between the heart and the brain are things that
you understand in your brain, but then it either goes to the heart and gives spiritual understanding
or it doesn't. And what good are all of these senses, if they are not used to worship Allah subhanaw
taala and to fear Allah subhanaw taala and to love Allah subhanaw taala and to hope for the Mercy of
Allah subhanahu wa. So he's saying he is the one here use the word produced that
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			they're trying to differentiate between
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:11
			and
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:44
			this word Insha Allah, right halacha antiA, here you say people who Allah the unshackled okay as
opposed to halacha but produced may not be the best translation and she was very close to creation
which is bringing you from nothing, bringing you from non existence into existence, say who is the
one who has preceded you or brought you from non existence and made for you hearing and vision and
hearts. Little Aren't you grateful? Brothers and sisters,
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:50
			we may ask, as for hearing and vision, a lot of people have been deprived of that.
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:54
			So, truly we understand the blessing of this,
		
00:19:56 --> 00:20:00
			that Allah azza wa jal has blessed us with these things. But then we say well, what about
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:00
			Hearts.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:06
			Everyone has hearts right? Is there anyone without a heart? Everyone has hearts.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:12
			But the point is hearts of understanding. Right?
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			Otherwise, it's useless.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:20
			I claim that the blind man who knows Allah
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:32
			is much more blessed than the one who can see but doesn't know Allah subhanaw taala because that
person cannot really see as Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:37
			in Nicola to smell Moto, whether to smell some mud dua in our language
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			be had in the army I'm gonna let him
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:46
			you will not be able to make those who are deaf here
		
00:20:48 --> 00:21:02
			is Allah subhanaw taala telling his prophets are seldom you cannot make the ones who are deaf, come
to here. This is metaphorical Of course, this is saying that those who are different who cannot hear
the wisdom, who cannot
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:15
			hear the verses of Allah and understand them. You cannot make them hear if Allah azza wa jal has
decreed deafness for them, and you cannot guide them blind.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:54
			Why? Because they are blind because they have blinded themselves because they are arrogant, because
they turned away because they disbelieved. This is true blindness, Wallahi brothers and sisters,
true deafness and true blindness, and true death of the hearts is not knowing Allah subhanaw taala
and not knowing one's path, and not understanding how to worship Allah subhanaw taala and what is
required of them in this world, this is really the biggest loss and Allah subhanaw taala has given
us this meaning in many
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			verses in the Quran. So therefore,
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:07
			thank Allah subhanaw taala for these blessings, at the same time, thank Allah azza wa jal for
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:41
			being able to use our senses to love Allah subhanaw taala and to know Him and to understand his
signs and to see through them and so on. But even further than that, thank Allah subhana wa Tada for
what? For having these limbs in the first place? Because others Allah azza wa jal tested by taking
away their hearing, can you imagine if you could not hear, you could not hear lessons, you couldn't
hear the beauty of the Quran, you could not hear them.
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:52
			Speaking to your loved ones, you could not hear anything, Allahu Akbar. In fact, in some of the
scholars said hearing is more important than seeing
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			because even if he was blind,
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:03
			if he hears lessons and he hears the Quran, how much he will benefit, but if you cannot see
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:13
			you find you, you cannot see you, but you can hear all of this, you can hear all of this guidance,
right?
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:18
			There was the blind man, Maktoum, the developer of our seminar,
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:28
			and then didn't harm him. He was one of the great companions, he could hear a lot of the the
guidance, but if you were deaf,
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:52
			even though you could see, you would miss a lot. You may see a lot of things but it may be difficult
for you to gain more understanding and more guidance and so on. Great blessings Allah azza wa jal
has given us, we take them for granted. We do. And that's why one time when I told the brothers,
some of you were there,
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:58
			you can actually put a price on some of these blessings that you have.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:00
			You can put a price on them
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:10
			easily, just by telling you that if I give you this amount of money, we're gonna do a surgical
operation and we're gonna make you that
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			or we're gonna make you blind.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:17
			And in exchange, we're gonna give you 1 million KD
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			and it's for you to decide
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:24
			who's up who wants a million KD
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:32
			but you will be blinded million KD anyone? No one wants a million KD
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			who doesn't want a million greedy?
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:45
			Just will take your that's all. Take a million KD. Do what you want me to live your life with women
in Guinea but you cannot see anyone.
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			Anyone up for grabs? No.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			So you're telling me your eyes are worth 1 million.
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:54
			At least
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:59
			at least. Right? You just put a price. You just
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:04
			told me that you already have 1 million KV because of this blessing.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:14
			And then you can we can say the same about your hearing. What about Islam, which is the ultimate
blessing for our hearts.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:49
			We'll give you as much as you want, but will take away that beautiful sense of faith you have in
your heart. You will never replace it. We are kings. We are swimming in Allah's blessings but we
don't know. And Allah subhanaw taala is reminding us and he's telling us little are you grateful?
You're you will not grateful for this. Of course the speeches did the disbelievers. But it's a
reminder to the to the believers, little aren't grateful. He says to them, and some scholars said
this means that you are not grateful. It's
		
00:25:50 --> 00:26:04
			it's a way it's an expression that they use sometimes, whereby they'll say that something is legal,
but they mean by it that it is not there in the first place. The meaning of the IRS, you are not
grateful. Little are you grateful. And
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:09
			scholars also interpreted that in two ways.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:53
			Meaning, you are not grateful for these blessings and you don't thank Allah subhanaw taala for these
blessings, and the other meaning is you do not thank Allah by using the senses to worship Him. You
do not think Allah azza wa jal by using these senses in that which pleases Him. Instead you use it
in that which displeases Him, how audacious of us Wallahi brothers and sisters do not fear that
Allah azza wa jal will take your eyes as you are looking at that which is how long do you not feel
that Allah azza wa jal will take your hearing, as you are listening to that which is haram beware.
Beware brothers and sisters will lie. The greatest way to thank Allah for these blessings other than
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:57
			praising him outright, is to use these blessings
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:00
			to seek His pleasure
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:13
			and to avoid his anger, this is the best way that you can show that Oh Allah, I am thankful that You
have given me hearing and you have given me sight and you have given me a heart that has
understanding.
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:43
			And I am thanking you for this by using the senses. God forbid that we use that which Allah azza wa
jal has blessed us with to disobey Him. Because if we do Wallahi on the Day of Judgment, you will
curse that hearing, and you will curse that vision and you will curse that heart that you used it to
disobey Allah subhanaw taala or if it was a reason, and a means for you to go into hellfire Well, if
Allah azza wa jal protect you and me Insha Allah,
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:45
			Allah Who
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			are we were easy to
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:57
			say it is he who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him, you will be gathered.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:10
			Then he reminds them of another blessing. The fact that this earth was uninhabited before you can
imagine this earth without any of what you see now. Nothing,
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:35
			no human beings, no civilization, nothing. It was an empty Earth. Who brought all of these people
other than Allah subhanaw taala It is Allah azza wa jal who has placed you here in the first place.
It is Allah subhanaw taala Who has created you, it is Allah subhanaw taala who has multiplied you,
because they come here as both those meanings.
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:39
			Placing you okay, and spreading you
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:56
			in multitudes. So Allah Allah subhanaw taala is the one who has placed us on the earth, spread us on
the earth and multiplied us and made us in many multitudes. This is a blessing from Allah subhanho
wa taala. Otherwise you wouldn't be here.
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:10
			Otherwise, you would have never gotten to know Allah subhanho wa taala. And what a blessing it is.
And this is part of the secret of the wisdom of Allah azza wa jal in creating in the first place
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:14
			for his slave servants to get to know him.
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:16
			So
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:20
			who has multiplied you throughout the earth?
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:23
			He's reminding you confirm
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26
			that this is one of the
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:31
			blessings of his upon you as
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			when he mentioned Satanists
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:42
			who told his people what's cool with quantum annealer and fantastical
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:59
			and remember, when you used to be little, and then he multiplied you? This is a blessing in itself
when you be able to multiply if it wasn't for Allah subhanaw taala if it wasn't for the blessing of
creation if it wasn't for his wisdom
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:06
			In making multiplication, something in our hands
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:13
			as a means, of course, albeit without Allah azza wa jal, there will be no multiplication.
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:18
			This is the worldly life. Then he says what related
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:20
			unto Him,
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:24
			you will be gathered. This is the part
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:41
			they surely disbelieve in they might agree with the part of Allah's origin, spreading them on the
earth. But they disbelieved in the Gathering, In the day of resurrection in the Day of Judgment, in
the day, they will all be brought to
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:53
			Allah subhanaw taala. Notice how Allah subhanaw taala told them that in the beginning, he spread you
and multiplied you. And likewise he is going to bring you back together again.
		
00:30:55 --> 00:31:09
			He spread you first. But don't think that the spreading is going to save you you will all be
gathered all together. Generations you have not seen you will all be brought together on one land,
Allahu Akbar.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:25
			But what is this piece of land going to hold? How's it going to? What's the maximum occupancy of
this land? Subhanak era, this is the creation of Allah subhanaw taala we will all be gathered there
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:34
			for meeting Allah Subhana Allah, Allah azza wa jal make it the best day for us and not the worst,
what he does Sharon?
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:36
			Why
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:39
			don't you
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:49
			saw daily? And they say, When is this promise? If you shouldn't be truthful, so I must have
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:54
			told them that you will be gathered.
		
00:31:55 --> 00:32:07
			So the natural question for them is when? When is this Day of Gathering? When will we be gathered
all together? Of course, unfortunately, it is not a sincere question.
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:10
			It is a mocking question.
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:24
			It is a question whereby they are mocking Prophet Muhammad Al Salam, and they are ridiculing him.
And they are scoffing at the idea of accountability.
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:31
			It is not a sincere question hadn't been a sincere question. The answer would have been different.
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:39
			Prophet Muhammad wa sallam himself, he was asked similar questions by Prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:42
			about the coming of the hour.
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:49
			At that time, Prophet Muhammad wa salam guided them to that which is more beneficial.
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:56
			He said, What have you prepared for it? It's coming, it's coming. Don't worry about the webinar,
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:04
			it will come, but what have you prepared for the day? They are mocking? Therefore the answer is
different.
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:22
			So he says to the way Hakuna Matata has Eduardo, in coutume Sadiki. They did not believe in the
resurrection, though they believed in the first creation. This is part of their lack of intellect
and their mental contradictions. They claim 100% that Allah created them, Allah created the
universe, but then
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:29
			they disbelieved in the resurrection, as we saw many of the verses of Quran. And they said,
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:38
			they said to each other, shall we leave you or guide you to a person who says that after you have
completely
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:45
			withered away, that, that you will be brought together again,
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:54
			and you will be resurrected. They were finding it amusing, they were finding it strange that Allah
subhanaw taala bring them back together again.
		
00:33:55 --> 00:34:00
			Brothers and sisters, part of that is fear of being resurrected.
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:20
			It's not only that, they cannot believe it, they are afraid of being resurrected. Part of it is
they're afraid of that which they cannot see or touch or feel, such as death, such as the afterlife.
And therefore when they don't have a clear understanding of it, it scares them.
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:48
			And they wish, it is their hope. And it is just a claim, as part of their conjecture. There is no
reality to it, they wish that they can be happy in the graves. And that that is the end of the
story. And they will be at the graves, and they will never be resurrected. This is what they hope.
Otherwise, they're afraid of that. So they mock and they scoff at it. But this is not
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:59
			the act of someone who has the intellect. The one who has intellect, tries to find out and
understand about that which he doesn't know why Subhanallah do we use that?
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:12
			philosophy in everything else in our life. If we don't know something we say clearly I don't know
and I want to learn about it. But in something like that after, why do they just turn it away?
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:29
			Because part of it is following their own desires. They don't want to know that they are going to be
accountable because they're going to be accountable. They can't live as they want to live. And Allah
azza wa jal anyway created you not to live the way you want to live, but the way he wants you to
live. And that is the best way to live.
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:57
			Moody say the knowledge is only with Allah, and I am only a clear warner. Who are they asking?
They're asking Prophet Muhammad, he is the best of humanity and the Beloved of Allah subhanaw taala
doesn't know when the day of judgment is.
		
00:35:58 --> 00:35:59
			He didn't know.
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:01
			Allah azza wa jal didn't tell him.
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:12
			This is part of the unseen that is only known by Allah subhanaw taala. The Day of Judgment is so
unknown brothers and sisters,
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:14
			that
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:17
			there is a verse
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:44
			that tells us that Allah azza wa jal almost hidden that under the time of the hour from himself in
the interpretation of the Ibis Zaha how unknown it is, of course it is known to Allah subhanaw taala
but because of how hidden he has made it, you say metaphorically that it's almost as if he hid it
from himself. Do you know this? I'll
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:48
			find it.
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:51
			Please, this is
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:56
			the question is clear, right?
		
00:36:57 --> 00:37:01
			No, yes. Don't be shy. Question is clear.
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:06
			There's a verse
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:11
			who
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:15
			interpreted it to mean
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:21
			that the hour the time of the hour is so hidden
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:26
			it's almost as if Allah almost hid it from himself.
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:31
			Is the question clear?
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:34
			Okay.
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:46
			Let's find this verse. So they're asking Prophet Muhammad salah, when is the our Prophet Muhammad Al
Salam as Jabril when is the hour? What the gibril say?
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:57
			What is the hour?
		
00:37:58 --> 00:38:00
			What was his answer?
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:11
			Essentially, basically, the one who is being questioned, does not have more knowledge about this
than the one who is asking. Exactly.
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:15
			Therefore, the prophets of salaam does not know this.
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:31
			Neither did Allah azza wa jal give him that knowledge. Neither is it wise, for us to know about
this, it will destroy us, because we will fall into the sin of procrastination as we have fallen
into that sin and everything else in our life.
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:41
			My death is six months, is in two years, oh, I have a long time, the day before I die, the whole
		
00:38:43 --> 00:39:07
			rest of your life you live your life normally. No. It is the wisdom of Allah that He has hid it from
you. So that you can always be prepared. It's like the test you use. It's like you students at
school. And you don't know when the quizzes the quiz can come any day be prepared, right? It's
similar, so that you can always be prepared and preparing for you will never know. Therefore,
technically,
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:12
			the hour starts for any individual when they leave this worldly life
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:24
			because they are no longer capable of doing something to benefit them in the afterlife. So he says,
Say to them the knowledge is only with Allah.
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:42
			The knowledge is only with Allah. What in the ideal movie and I am only a clear one. I am not here
to tell you when the hour is I am just warning you of the seriousness and the danger of this hour.
Prepare for this hour.
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:50
			And it is part of warning them and putting fear in the hearts of that which is coming to them.
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:54
			Last panel Carla said
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:57
			in another beautiful verse
		
00:39:58 --> 00:39:59
			that
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:15
			This hour is so great. And it's time for coming is also something great. It is something heavy, that
even Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam does not know about.
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:18
			And Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Himself
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:37
			of His coming is a sign for it. Therefore, it has already come close. And for us, we are too close
to the hour. We're too close to the Day of Judgment. But Allah azza wa jal helped us to prepare for
that day.
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:40
			Once we see the hour
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:44
			believe me, you forget all of this.
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:52
			Everything in your life you're going to forget. It's gonna be a thing of the past.
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:55
			And it will be like,
		
00:40:56 --> 00:41:19
			this life was just an instant in time as Allah subhanaw taala told us in the Quran, an instant in
time, it's happened to you before has it not? When something great happened to you, and you forgot,
maybe years of tribulation or years of difficulty or years of happiness or something else, just
because of one thing that happened. It's this way.
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:28
			It is something beyond our imagination prepare for it. May Allah azza wa jal make us of the winners
and the losers on that day, but it never
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:33
			will see.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:39
			The work
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:42
			to be eaten.
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:54
			But when they see it approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be distressed, and it will
be said this is that for which you used to come
		
00:41:57 --> 00:42:01
			as they are talking and Allah Subhana Allah has told his Muslim, Himachal salam
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:11
			to remind them of the hour and to warn them of the hour. And they are asking about this time of the
hour. He took them straight to the hour
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:31
			Subhanallah he took them now straight to the hour. Here you are in the the time of that thing which
you were promised. And he mentioned that in the past tense. No, it has not happened yet to show the
certainty of its occurrence. But I'm not I wasn't straight.
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:41
			They read this Quran, believe me ciklum should shake us when they saw it approaching.
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:51
			Moscow scholars said this is the punishment that is awaiting them when they saw the punishment of
Allah subhanaw taala approaching them.
		
00:42:53 --> 00:43:04
			And many of the pious generations said that this is referring specifically to see the punishment. In
other words,
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:13
			literally being before that punishment, what is called more ironclad, seeing the punishment and
being before it.
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:17
			And this is what I'm referring to
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:21
			the punishment of Asha,
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:37
			when they see the power and not the punishment of the dunya, even though there is a minority opinion
that it may mean the punishment of the dunya otherwise, it is the punishment of an alpha, which has
awaited them when they see it approaching and coming close and being before the literally see.
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:44
			The faces of those who disbelieve will be distressed.
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:46
			Distressed is a
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:50
			let's say a misnomer. This is
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:56
			very lacking in conveying the meaning behind see at what you will
		
00:43:58 --> 00:44:06
			see here meaning that their faces became the and in the worst state that they could ever have been
before.
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:09
			In all of the
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:28
			signs that Allah subhanaw taala and his brothers called us about that will occur on the day of
judgment as signs on the faces of those who disbelieve such as their faces blackening and becoming
blackened. Yong Yong Liu Hoon with us. What do we do?
		
00:44:29 --> 00:44:32
			In another verse? He says, oh shit, would you get
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:46
			that it is as if their faces were covered in the darkness as of the night because of how dark it
was. Their eyes become blue, right? When actually we didn't mean it in zuka.
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:52
			All of these things will happen on the Day of Judgment. This is part of the so called discus.
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:55
			And part of
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:59
			what they see of the punishment that awaits them
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:07
			Therefore, their faces will become like this. And he was he intentionally described the faces
because there is no other
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:27
			part of the body that can show the signs of distress better than the face. See that will do.
Everything you can think of you will see on their faces on the day when they see the punishment
approaching while I have been loving Allah protect us from that. So yes, we're
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:33
			working hard to be hated, and it is sent to them.
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:35
			This is
		
00:45:37 --> 00:46:11
			to make them more regretful, deeply regretful, as if it wasn't enough to see the punishment, then it
is set to them so that they can regret working harder to beat down. This is that for what you used
to call brothers and sisters, it's bringing this time aligned for us. It's it's showing it to you,
as if it has already happened. It's happening in front of you. But I had a lady come to data down
this which you use to take and call for enhanced. And this is what they used to do bring it up.
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:14
			They used to tell the prophets, right?
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:42
			One after another, when the prophets came to them and call them to Allah subhanaw taala they would
scoff, and then they would ask for the punishment to come. The famous ones are the people of sada
How do you set up the mood? And they asked for it and it was coming to them in three days. He said
it was coming to you in three days. And they came back and asked the first day of the second day,
where's the punishment that you have promised us? So pilot piano?
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:54
			And the same same sort of the limit? When he says to the name at the start, you're gonna say yet a
couple that hasn't stopped feeling Allah Allah Allah?
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:56
			Why do you hasten
		
00:46:58 --> 00:47:00
			in that which is evil,
		
00:47:02 --> 00:47:03
			as opposed to
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:06
			putting forward that which is good.
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:15
			Why don't you seek the forgiveness of Allah subhanaw taala so that they will have mercy upon you.
Instead, they are calling this punishment on how bold
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:17
			and here
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:30
			they are being made to regret, that they hasten that punishment that will be sent to them. This is
that for which you used to call and this is, as we mentioned, Kenny said, this is the
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:48
			opinion of the majority of scholars, this is the meaning of time down meaning this is that for which
you used to call on that what used to call, in other words, bring it to us in haste right? And ask
for another meaning is
		
00:47:49 --> 00:48:09
			the hastening part, that their own meaning the stodgy rule that this is what you use to try to
hasten for yourself, the meaning is similar, and that is that they are being made to regret this
call that they call for and when they eventually see it on the Day of Judgment when they see the
punishment before them.
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:12
			Watch time.
		
00:48:15 --> 00:48:17
			How much time was left
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:20
			much more time
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:29
			in that regard,
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:41
			in the verses before feminism Shimokita Allah what g the first verse that we took about the person
walking falling on their face.
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:50
			There is also a minority opinion this is the opinion of Imam Qatada that this is indeed
		
00:48:52 --> 00:48:53
			the walking
		
00:48:55 --> 00:49:06
			on their fallen on their face. This is in an Acura as we know that Allah azza wa jal will resurrect
them on the Day of Judgment on their faces. Right, as we mentioned, and we've spoken about it in
some of the verses that we have.
		
00:49:07 --> 00:49:18
			And some of the sources that we passed by, that they will be resurrected, they will be made to work
on their faces on the Day of Judgment. William Shimo, Kim bahala G.
		
00:49:19 --> 00:49:51
			So we and other Serato stuck, they will be made to work this way. The believers are the ones who
will be able to walk straight and especially on the server, on the bridge between paradise and
hellfire. They are the only ones who will be able to walk straight and not to fall. But the kuffaar
will be made to work on their faces. Have you ever seen someone walking on their face? It's quite
amazing. And this is why we companions as the puppets or messenger of Allah. We will walk on their
faces, how will they walk on their faces?
		
00:49:52 --> 00:49:53
			I have no idea.
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:55
			But the answer
		
00:49:56 --> 00:49:57
			is clear.
		
00:49:58 --> 00:49:59
			The one who was able
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:06
			To make them walk on their feet on their legs, is able to make them walk on their face.
		
00:50:07 --> 00:50:20
			Besides, you see snakes, snakes are smothering. They're not walking on legs are they? So who knows,
they will be able to walk on their faces on the Day of Judgment. This is
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:23
			as part of
		
00:50:25 --> 00:50:38
			their part of the abuse that they are being abused. And part of the disgrace that Allah azza wa jal
has promised them that they deserve for their disbelief that they will be made to walk on their
faces.
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:49
			We'll stop here, we'll take questions. And we'll do the rest in sha Allah will finish the surah and
we'll start
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:52
			Surah two column in sha Allah next time
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:55
			Baraka
		
00:50:56 --> 00:50:57
			hamdulillah Hello.
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:03
			Are there any questions or comments?
		
00:51:08 --> 00:51:08
			Space?
		
00:51:12 --> 00:51:15
			is the one who walks this way better guided,
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:19
			more guided, or the one who walks straight?
		
00:51:20 --> 00:51:21
			Right.
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:26
			It's many of the verses of the Quran are
		
00:51:27 --> 00:51:31
			mentioned in this way. As a question
		
00:51:32 --> 00:51:43
			for us to answer and it's it's a it's an it's a famous way it's an artistic way of getting people to
think about it through a question as opposed
		
00:51:44 --> 00:51:46
			to just a straight proclamation. Right?
		
00:51:48 --> 00:52:03
			Who is more guided, because getting them to think Use your brains who is more guided this sort of
this, the arms full of examples like this and metaphors and similes that we are supposed to take
heed of, and draw lessons from.
		
00:52:06 --> 00:52:07
			Anything else
		
00:52:13 --> 00:52:20
			is produced? Yeah. And then he says, getting pressed and gives the vision second.
		
00:52:24 --> 00:52:25
			Change is grinding.
		
00:52:27 --> 00:52:29
			I'm not used to hearing
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:32
			the vision.
		
00:52:37 --> 00:52:38
			This is the way in which
		
00:52:39 --> 00:52:42
			right? Right now the color is the brothers mentioning that
		
00:52:45 --> 00:52:58
			the infant get their hearing first as opposed to their vision. This is what they have discovered
scientifically. And you'll find that most of the time or only mentions the hearing first before the
vision.
		
00:53:00 --> 00:53:01
			Some of the oldest callers
		
00:53:05 --> 00:53:14
			emphasize that one of the reasons that may be is because the hearing is more important in terms of
guidance in terms of receiving and accepting
		
00:53:15 --> 00:53:22
			guidance and this is why he would mention the hearing first, when you think about the
		
00:53:24 --> 00:53:32
			the blessing of hearing and the function, it's something else. And if you read about the ear and the
way the ear works,
		
00:53:33 --> 00:53:43
			you'll say Subhan Allah Glory be to Allah and the one without intellect cannot see behind that. I
mean the eardrum the way it
		
00:53:44 --> 00:53:58
			sets the sound waves. There you have the you have follicles inside you have something they call
crystals, you know you have like, they call them crystals crystals in the ear. If these crystals
		
00:54:00 --> 00:54:01
			are violently
		
00:54:02 --> 00:54:04
			moved or shaken,
		
00:54:05 --> 00:54:10
			you will start to feel dizzy, you will no longer Subhanallah be able to stand
		
00:54:11 --> 00:54:12
			the way you do
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:38
			you will not be able to balance yourself just because of that and believe it or not, there's a
special medical maneuver to bring those crystals back into place and then all of a sudden you're
perfectly okay. It's a it's a quick maneuver on the head. Right and several ways to bring the
crystals back into place. And then you feel like you are balanced and you are working properly and
everything Subhan
		
00:54:41 --> 00:54:45
			Allah help us to thank him for those blessings anything else?
		
00:54:47 --> 00:54:49
			Subhanak along the Hambrick Masha Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah and
		
00:54:50 --> 00:54:51
			at all
