Hakeem from
Melissa Annie poli, I praise Allah Almighty connection prayers and blessings upon Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is number family righteous companions and all those that follow them with the right guidance until the Day of Judgment. My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam and Santa Monica
I ask Allah subhanaw taala as he has brought us here together today to study the book of Allah subhanaw taala and gain knowledge in it to bring us together and the highest of paradise with our beloved prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and to grant us knowledge of this Quran and the courage and the ability to implement it Inshallah, so that it can be an argument for us and not against us on the Day of Judgment.
Brothers and sisters, we continue with the Sunnah
and we'll just recite some of what we will speak about in sha Allah.
Now that will mean a shave on your gene Bismillah
either better or for worse
What do you mean

Lena
we said last time.
The last panel Tyler
told us about the human beings and desires to continue in sin. And the human being that procrastinates in doing good. And the human being that only moves forward, it seems and continues in sin and transgression instead of in doing good deeds. And part of that. And we said that they are very much related in both ways is actually a vicious cycle whereby they say
when is the Day of Resurrection?
Part of that procrastination allows him to pose that question. And because he is posing that question, it also allows him to procrastinate so it works both ways. This human being that procrastinates and doing good and continues
in doing evil and transgression.
Asking when is the Day of Judgment
a year
and a yellow usually in the Arabic language. It's indicating that something is far away, a yellow will be on a winter's day of judgment as if it is something far away or even impossible, as we know because some of them this believed in it. So immediately Allah subhanaw taala takes him straight to the scene,
the scene of the Day of Judgment, without without saying oh Muhammad, this is the day of judgment and so on immediately.
He takes him straight to the scene and what a scene is his.
So when the vision is dazzled, and we mentioned that metaphor here, the scholars understood it to mean two different things. One of them, of course, being dazzled, being dazzled by what by that which they are seeing in front of them something which is surprising to them something which is worthy of leveling your vision when you see something amazing
and your vision is dazzled and you can no longer close your eyes. Though involuntarily. You will usually wink many times during one second or one minute let's say in this fire eyes are going to stay open because of something amazing that you see in front of you. It is your living normally and your net
Rule
system that allows you to win many times in a minute because you are in a comfortable state. But when you see something amazing in front of you, and I'm sure it's happened to all of you, you can no longer close your eyes. And this is what is going to happen here.
When the vision is dazzled by things that they are going to see, which is beyond their imagination, be that the day of judgment, be that the trillions
or causes villians we'll call them whatever you will. There's no number
that can
enumerate all of the people that have lived from the time
from seeing this amazing scene, I mean, if you were to go somewhere, and you were just to see maybe 1000 People gathered together, you say, Oh, my God, what's the issue? We're talking about? Millions of people from the time of other My dear brothers and sisters, and what?
Close I know, most of them are probably naked and uncircumcised.
Already, we haven't seen anything yet. We haven't seen hellfire. Well, I have been dragged by 5 billion angels. Okay, we're approximately 5 billion angels. We haven't seen
people standing before Allah subhanaw taala yet, or seeing the accountability or the 50,000 years of waiting, fencing beyond imagination, people will just be dazzled.
And this is the way
most scholars understood say that meaning on the Day of Judgment.
When religion is dazzled on the Day of Judgment, other scholars of the Salah understood that to mean at the time of death,
when division because of the meanings of medical buffer here means shuffle. O'Hara. Okay, being amazed by what is being seen in front of them. The other possible meaning shuffle, okay, as the last
one
shall
be vision of the disbelievers on that they will be dazzled shocker for meaning open and they cannot close it anymore. It's dazzled by what they see in front of them. And the other is layer performers is that they don't drink anymore, okay? Usually they're used to waiting, they will not even wait because of being dazzled by what they see. This is on the day of judgment, but also others understood it to be at the time of death.
Also, at the time of death, you may have seen or you may have seen or found some people whose eyes were wide open. And that was
a consequence of their soul leaving their body as as Prophet Muhammad wa sallam said concerning Saison, Abu Salah Allah and after he had died, and he came to him, and he had seen him before he was very, and then he saw his eyes wide open, and he closed them with his holy fingers.
And he said either
if the soul is
taken by Allah subhanaw taala
the vision follows it an Imam, an nawawi, when explaining the Hadith says the vision is following the horse to see where it goes. Allahu Akbar. So here's the person dying, their soul leaves their body, and their vision goes after it, and their eyes stay open.
And this can be also what is referenced by either.
So if it is on the Day of Judgment, then all of these statements are concerning the Day of Judgment, as we'll see. And if it is about death, then Allah azza wa jal is taking us step by step first, and then the Day of Judgment.
I'll
tell you that.
And when the moon is,
what
is it Eclipse?
How many of you have seen the moon being Eclipse?
Probably everybody. But maybe you've seen a partial eclipse or maybe you saw a total lunar eclipse, but it was very
brief. This is an eclipse of another kind, that you have never seen. It is the final eclipse of the moon, after which you will never see it again. If you are living at that time, where I am living at that time. It is the final eclipsing of the moon, beyond which it no longer exists as we know it today, the light of the moon will disappear. This is the meaning of
it will be clipped, meaning the light will disappear. Whether that is I mean obviously that's probably not going to be the way we know it today. How does the Eclipse
eclipse,
the lunar eclipse.
Earth comes between the sun and the moon.
So what that means the moon is on the other side. So why is it Eclipse? Why can't you see it?
Very good. The moon is in the shade of the earth at that point, right? Because the sun is shining on the earth that's causing a shadow and the moon is going through the shadow. Sometimes it is a partial eclipse because it's going through part of the shadows, okay. And other times it is total where it is completely covered by the other situations the opposite?
Which is what the solar eclipse which is what's
known as between the Earth and the Sun.
How many times does this happen in one lunar month
where the moon is between the Sun and the Earth and where the earth is between the sun and the moon
cycle, we don't see a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse twice a month.
No.
Give me the scientific and
close, close. They're not all in one plane.
The rotation and the resolution and the orbits. They're not all in one place. If they were all in one plane,
you'd see a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse twice a month.
Once when the moon is between the Sun and the Earth and the opposite, but they're not all orbiting in the same plane. You don't see it twice a month, do you see it? Whenever calculations are made, the eclipse will happen and Allah subhanaw taala will
finally this is the final lunar eclipse where it is you can note there there will no longer be you will no longer see the light of the moon. However that may be
what has come out and this is part of the
final
consequences or call it occurrences on the Day of Judgment, the final eclipsing of the moon we're joining
we're doing ask them to uncover what you may have
gathered or collected. So here they call it the moon darkens. Okay, actual word is Eclipse. And the sun and the moon are joined. We're doing some swag. What's that mean?
We're doing chips. Welcome Mr Mujahid says that on the Day of Judgment.
They understood it some of you sort of understood it to mean because they couldn't quite explain joining the sun and the moon.
So they said joining the sun and the moon in their being Eclipse
so he said the man was either Kuwait
we know we're in a shampoo era, right? What is this tech we're losing its light
and darkening. Okay.
There is a sense of coherence, right. So the sun also loses light as the moon will lose it's like not to say that they will be joined in this both of them will be eclipsed in the both of them will darken and lose their light, the sun will lose its actual light because it is the source of light, right? It is Siraj and
as opposed to
the moon, which is not an immediate source of light but rather is reflecting light on the sun. So it's an indirect source of light, both of them will lose their light
both of them will undergo this techweek where they will lose the right this is the way he explains where Jumia Shamsul come up both of them will be eclipsed or that that they will lose their life that we're in Arabic actually refers to joining something together.
And this Subhanallah may have
special meanings as people and as scientists discover more about the universe and more about the nature of the Sun and the planets and so on. About how it may lose its light. Is it actually coming together
when they give the example of the Queen, they talk about the okay the Queen joining it together or bringing it
all together.
The past another possible meaning is losing both of them losing their life, okay, and being thrown. And this is what also some of the celebs said that the sun and the moon will be joined, and they will be thrown and destroyed.
Somebody mentioned on the authority of alpha in yourself that
when he recited this, I will come up, he said Ujima Hanuman piano, they will be joined on the day of judgment, and then they will be thrown into the ocean. And then it will be the Great Fire of Allah subhanaw taala. That's obviously not referring to Johanna, but it's referring to the end of the world, this may very well be what is going to happen. Interestingly enough, what will come up is not such a distant
idea. And not such an impossible conclusion, even by what by the level that we know today about astronomy. It is no Quranic scholar that told us, but some of this color of NASA, and different astronomers around the world who are saying that the sun, like other stars, is going to expand, and is going to swell and increase in size so much, that when it rises on the earth, it is going to take up most of the horizon. But this is not in your time. And my eyes, this is in billions of years, some of them said 5 billion years, that in 5 million years, the sun is going to swell
to the normal size of a red giant.
We talked about the cycles of stars before right, and
the stars will get to the stage where they will swell and become as large as what they call a red giant, it will become so large that it will actually intervene in the orbit of the moon, Allah
you can already see that this is part of the
occurrences of the Day of Judgment, the sun is increasing in size, to the extent that it will come to the orbit of the moon, the way they said that it will become a giant a few billion years from now sweating greatly and eating into the orbit of the Earth and the Moon together.
And at that point, when the sun has become so large, and therefore, has become closer to the earth is no longer any possibility of life on the Earth, because of the heat that people will experience on the earth. They are
assuming or theorizing that in that situation, you may start to see life on Mars. Because as it is so cold today because it is further away from the sun from Earth. But as the sun gets larger, then the weather is slowly starting to get warmer over there. And eventually you might see like
the Martians will get another opportunity Allahu
Allah is most knowledgeable. But the point I'm trying to make to you is that even now, astronomers are saying the this is what will happen to the sun in billions of years. And therefore, it is very possible to understand the this verse in this way, when Jamia shows who will come Sun will continue to expand them good luck, until eventually it gets to the moon and they are joined, and they collide.
And they will lose their life. And everything
will stop at that point. You don't have night and day anymore, life will cease to exist. And these are the occurrences of the Day of Judgment and Glory be to Allah subhanaw taala who has revealed this Quran
welcome. And this is a possibility that we do not
pass
any of the verses of the Quran. This is part of the miraculousness of the Quran, that he'll tell you about something in such a way that may be ambiguous at that time. Because it was just immediately right like we said when we talked about
Bella Catarina, Allah and Musa right. It has been set in such a way.
Such an obvious way like a science textbook. It's not miraculous anymore. Right? But because it is said in a way that is ambiguous for those people, but becomes clearer later on with more science and more discoveries. It becomes miraculous, but Shamsul welcome.
Also,
astronomers are saying the moon is slowly moving away.
from the earth.
And that also shows you that in the orbit of the moon around the earth and the earth subsequently around the sun, that the moon is also getting closer to the sun. So it is very possible that eventually they will meet but maybe after millions of years, along with the Allah, Allah, He is the most knowledgeable Shamsul when
you're
in a in and
on that day, see the beauty of the Quran, he takes you from
one topic to another beautiful
connection with beautiful cohesion. And at the same time, it's not a science textbook, he didn't give you all of these facts.
In one, on one page, telling you this is what is going to happen 123456 No, it's all
placed in such a beautiful way. And at the same time acts as a Book of guidance, as a book that is a reminder. And this is ultimately a reminder. So when
you find this interesting scientifically, that's great. But don't forget also that it shouldn't, you should find it interesting spiritually, because this is going to be the Day of Judgment, what have you prepared for that? What are you going to do? If you live to the day, where you might see this?
Where you see the occurrences of the Day of Judgment? What will the human being say on that day? Inside? The human will say on that day? Where is the face of escape? Amen?
Where is the face of escape on that day? You are saying it is too late? Where are you going to escape? Have you said it may have helped you because it may have caused fear in your heart
that will cause you to work and to put effort and to worship Allah subhanaw taala but saying it's on the day there's no escape, even though is there any escape no but Allah
I challenge you one by one escape the realms of the heavens and the earth escape you can't escape the capture of Allah can't escape the capture of Allah
device
that you can go and
you know you're a millionaire go and take some of the sciences from NASA and from Russia and from all the different places and bring them together. Let them devise the the the space machine that you desire, so that you can escape the realms of the heavens and the earth and escape Allah if you can. Can you escape? Yeah, mashallah genuine
Aquarius, will
let them fall in love, it will remember that verse when we send it.
Oh, gentle humanity, if you are able to escape the realms of the Heavens,
no escaping of You can't escape the capture of Allah subhanaw taala. On the day, they would love nothing more than to escape the capture of Allah subhanaw taala. But they know there is no way they can go. There's no way to escape. They can't escape in the dunya. Much less escaping and
the simple example would be
a criminal
is somewhere at large. They haven't caught him yet. And at that point,
it's much easier for him to escape, right? Before the police know about him and are running after him. Let him escape. But eventually when they catch him,
Where is he going to escape then it was much easier to escape before the capture before the type of accountability before being called to the court. But here no escape. Now. If you can't escape now, are you going to escape them when you are being brought to the accountability?
In fact,
at the moment, my words, when he mentioned when he speaks about this idea, he says there are two possibilities, two possible meanings that they are paying
out of higher the thing in and out of shame that they have they feel ashamed, they are going to finally meet Allah subhanaw taala they were running around doing whatever they please as if they will never meet Allah. Here they are about to meet Allah subhanaw taala. So they are saying amen. Where's the escape? And the other possibility is where is the escape of? Where's our escape from hellfire? Where's our escape from the punishments
out of fear of being punished by Allah subhanaw taala My dear brothers and sisters,
saying where's the escaping the dunya is what will help
On the Day of Judgment, regret, as you
say, it's here in and think for yourself now that on that day I will be saying, where's the escape? Where can I escape? Do what you can now so that you can afford to avoid being in the situation where you are just looking for an escape from ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada.
Do what you can now to prepare for the standing before Allah subhanaw taala. Before being in this situation, when
can you go anywhere?
can escape from Allah.
There's only one escape.
There is an escape.
No
Escape to Allah.
Where do we get that? We studied it.
Almost
Cymru
in alarm, right. So several means.
Run away, escape, sleep.
But sleeping, usually you're fleeing from something.
But here it goes to sleep to Allah, we escaped to Allah escaped the punishment of Allah by going to the Mercy of Allah escaped the Wrath of Allah subhanaw taala in order to go to the Mercy of Allah subhanaw taala Don't you say,
when you are allowed to sleep?
In the lake, as in the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam that there is no escape, and no fleeing away from you except to you.
The only escape,
escape to
flee everything fleeing this dunya please,
migrate from all of that, by going to Allah subhanaw taala
by seeking the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala This is the true escape.
On the day, people will say, Amen.
Amen. My father
was
no
one this was
a real one looks at the translation.
What does it say?
No refuge. That is correct.
There were different
meanings that were given by some of the sellers, as mentioned, and they are all approximately the same meaning no refuge, no mountain, because the mountain is usually a refuge, right? No mountain, no forts are all examples of refuge. They're all a place to whatever color that was, there is no refuge or escape on that day.
Because any news shows you again,
you're going to Allah subhanaw taala whether you like it or not, you're going to meet Allah subhanaw taala whether you prepared for that interview or not.
You will stand before Allah. And not only that, you will be spoken to why Allah subhanaw taala Allah because you have become a prophet,
because you are going to be held accountable. But you will be spoken to why Allah immediately and directly without
Allah, Allah, where does it say this?
What does it say this? Or am I just speaking out of my head?
Seen that was already
one of you will be spoken to by Allah subhanaw taala. Without without a barrier
without an interlocutor, immediately.
Everyone, Allah Allah.
Allah will speak to me directly. Yes, he will hold me accountable. Yes. What have you prepared for that standing? What have you prepared for meeting Allah subhanaw taala. Allah doesn't help us. I'm finally going to meet
Allah,
the one that I have worshipped, or the one that I have forgotten, the one that I have magnified in this dunya and glorified or the one that I just believed in and insulted God forbid, or sinned against and forgot this meeting. You will finally meet Allah subhanaw taala.
You
the place of permanence is finally to Allah subhanaw taala also, they give two possible means
Thanks for this
right place of permanence, meaning that finally, every group will meet the place of permanence, their final refuge was
Janna
emphasize. So this is
the place of permanence. And this is the conclusion, by the way to an amazingly succinct and brief conclusion to this life.
The conclusion of this life,
difference in gender, size, that's
nothing.
Right life in this complication, has one conclusion, one group will be in the fire the other will be in paradise. That's it for eternity, Allah Allah, may Allah
so finally, their place of permanence, this is one meaning, the other meaning that
one of them says, in Allah, meaning that everything is returning to Allah, what do you say when someone dies?
We belong to Allah, to him, we will return. So they return is to Allah subhanaw taala. And this is the meaning of, you know, because even
even
the human being on that day will be informed of everything that they put forth, and everything that they left behind.
They understood this verse,
to have different meanings. And it may also apply to all of the meanings because they are not contradictory. The human being will be informed of everything they've ever done.
When you stand before Allah subhanaw taala everything you've ever said, everything you've ever done, you should be held accountable for Oh boy,
I should have thought of that before I spoke. Well, I should have thought of that before I acted.
Allah has warned us so many places, and we know this. But do we act as if we are going to be held accountable for everything that we've ever said, or everything that we've ever done? As Allah told us in Surah, Kahf
Illa de European,
everything you say of speech and rework,
there is someone watching and prepared. And these are the angels are going to write down whatever you have said, and it will come back to meet you on the Day of Judgment.
Everything we've ever said and everything we've ever done, that will incense you will be told about it by you.
You will not be surprised by it. Because it is going to be very detailed. And it is going to be precise. And you know, it's often the end. Nothing that will come that will surprise you, as we'll see.
You
What is it
that you put forth?
What did you put forth? The man?
He is whatever you perform, right? Whatever you have done in this life?
What's not one? Maybe the other one is not so obvious.
What's your left behind? What could that mean?
Excellent.
Things you were supposed to do, and we didn't do.
That also I'm going to be told about
that's going to be a great cause for regret.
What I was supposed to do, and I didn't do, I will also be informed about or maybe something I started that I didn't finish
or something I was supposed to do for somebody or fall off.
And I didn't do it. I will be informed. You were supposed to do that and you didn't Allah
Indeed, it is a day of regrets my brothers and sisters, but the regret is useless. Regret now, that's the only useful regret. This is one possibility exactly what the other possibility is what
it can apply to good and bad. Don't only choose what you want.
It can refer to some nasarah and Senesi.
As in the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad SAW said that whoever does some good deeds, some good action, okay, leaves behind something good that people benefit from later on. That they will continue
To get good deeds for that, that is something that you left behind, but you were rewarded for it, you will be told about it on the day of judgment.
And similarly with evil, we'll have a woman sending us when
you left behind something wrong, some wrong action, something that is
the cause caused others to go astray as well. You will also take of their bad deeds, you will not know about that, until the day of judgment, you remember that thing that you did?
You remember how you were a bad example. And others saw you and they followed you and they continue to follow you in this way. Oh,
your cows are kept on counting the bad deeds. This is when you see it on the day of judgment and you think to yourself, I didn't do this? Oh, yes, you did. You did one thing and it was a cause for many others to go astray well here to be loving Allah subhanaw taala guide us and keep us on the straight path and help us to to be guides to others as keys for good and looks for evil.
So this can also apply to
them. Okay. So both of them may apply.
Chose the opinion that it is a general statement. And all of this can apply it can apply to everything that we have mentioned until now. So therefore, my dear brother, my dear sister, when you come on the Day of Judgment, Inshallah, on the other hand, and you see mountains of good deeds, and you say to yourself, and to Allah, Oh Allah, I didn't do all of this. says no, you remember your child that you were teaching Quran, and you died before he came of age, he became an adult. And he taught others of the Quran and you gain
all have these good deeds, because of the sunlight
and you left behind, or that knowledge that you left behind, or that book that you wrote,
or that's
something that you had left as sadaqa jariya as Prophet Muhammad Allah, Allah mentioned, okay, that charity this uses for the money
that you painted for people to recite.
One after another, you can talk about many different types of ongoing charities whereby you love something and it's continued to help others after your death. You will see that all of that on the Day of Judgment. Allah azza wa jal is most just you will see the good but you will also see the bad leave behind that which is good, my dear brother
