00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Allah Subhana Allah says in surah Dillon son,
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			manual of him
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			as they're not come upon men,
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:21
			a period of time when he was not a thing even mentioned.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:37
			Of course, when the translation mentioned man, technically it is a reference to the human being male
or female. And this is the definition of insanity in the Arabic language
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:46
			in this surah Insan is also named by some sort.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:55
			Okay, because I mentioned and is all time, okay, it means all time and this is why Puppet
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			Labs
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			Don't insult
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:21
			time, because some people will insult time. Okay, time in the sense, they will insult this day, or
this week or this month. Or, you know, God forbid, I don't want to say it but they will insult let's
say, the time that I met you or the time that I married you or the time that I
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:47
			went out with you, you know, something happened to you when you were going out with your friends and
you said, man, Allah curse the time that I went out with you because this happened to me. This is
all forbidden, because it is all decreased by Allah subhanaw taala it has nothing to do with the
time, time has nothing to do with it. Allah decreed it whether today whether to tomorrow or after a
few weeks, or after a few years. It doesn't matter.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			Them your country on the Quran
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:56
			surah.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			The Surah of the human being
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			is mucky, or mezzanine.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:36
			If you read the scenes, you will be utterly confused because there is a lot of scholarly difference.
Is it matki? Or is it metal. And you may read also of the scholarly difference that some are saying
that the majority said it is muskie and others said the majority says it is okay. So even there's
some difference of opinion about who the majority is the amount of co2
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:44
			is saying that the majority said that they are emitted, but many of the other colors and even
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:52
			the majority said that they are mixing of colors who said that it is a Mickey pseudo
		
00:02:53 --> 00:03:12
			art and of the later scholars who and many others also who such as luxury and other who mentioned
that it is a maxi surah Allah Allah Allah, this seems to be the most accurate opinion that the
chapter is
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:29
			based on the ideas and the themes, as you will see, as we discussed, which mostly pertain to the
themes and concepts that are usually delineated in the napkin chapters.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:36
			And other scholars said it is both that it is murky, but a few verses are many
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			other such opinions and
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:44
			possibly one of the reasons that some
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:53
			of the scholars said it is a Madani chapter is because of a hadith that is mentioned
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:59
			Hasan once the same may Allah be pleased with them got sick
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			after getting sick,
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:10
			and Prophet Muhammad wa salam has visited them and so on that
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:22
			and see the Fatima may Allah be pleased with them both. The servant decided to fast for three days
of Allah azza wa jal cure that Hudsonville Hussein
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:27
			and after that they were cured of their sickness and they started fasting
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			when they came to have the fob
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:36
			a
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			poor person had come
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			begging for food.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:48
			And they gave him all of their food as the narration mentioned.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:59
			Then the next day, the two three days they're fasting again. And the narration mentions that they
basically slept and they
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:10
			remained hungry, they hadn't eaten, they didn't have any foods. So they gave everything they had.
Second day, the same thing happened when they came to have the type of a an orphan came
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:17
			similarly begging for food and they gave him the food 30 days the same thing happened, but it was a
prisoner
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			as a prisoner, usually possibly a prisoner of war.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:06:03
			And this is why they claim that this method, because if there's a thief, prisoner of war, who came
and begging for food, then there must have been a war and Jihad only happened in the madonie period.
And they gave him all of their foods and that for this Allah azza wa jal revealed the eiopa A Munna
Bahama Allah should be his skin and were team and a serum that they will feed. Even though they love
that food, they are in need of it, that they will feed them a skin and an orphan and a prisoner of
war. But this hadith Allah Allah is we
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:14
			cannot be relied on. But it is mentioned and you may read it. And maybe for that reason, they claim
that the surah is motherly, or at least that way,
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			is a mezzanine verse, but it seems
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22
			as we said, the hadith is weak and cannot be relied on.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			And of course, say the fourth and fifth
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:37
			are perfectly capable and more of doing such virtuous acts and more. The hadith is weak so we cannot
accept it as as reliable.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			And therefore Allah Allah, it seems that the whole chapter
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			is a second chapter
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:53
			when he says, In Santa fino minute, how much time do we have?
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			Approximately?
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:02
			Is it 23? An hour or before that? 20? I think no.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			20? Right. So brought about seven minutes.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:18
			It is a phrase which is in the form of a question. It's an inquiry.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:36
			However, Allah subhanaw taala doesn't inquire he knows all. But when he phrases the sentence, in
terms of what seems to be a question, it means he wants to divert our attention to something
important.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:44
			Okay, the way that it was translated in our translation, Has there not come upon?
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			Okay, even though there's no not here, technically.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:55
			But you will find similar inquiries in the Quran where indeed there is no
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			such as when he says LM ni, ni,
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:00
			LM yet.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:02
			And
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			this is not time. Okay. But here
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:17
			has come a time, technically. Okay. But the meaning they're taking the what the verse
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:35
			actually is supposed to me and that would be Has there not come a time okay. Otherwise it will be a
question Has there if we remove the knot becomes has there come upon the human a period of time when
he was not a thing even mentioned?
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			It becomes a total question.
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			And in the Arabic language.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:56
			This is how it seems, once you an Arabic speaker will immediately realize that it is more of not
just a question, but it is a question to prove something. It is similar to when I asked you
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:02
			did I not give you brother this and this and this, then comes the money?
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			Or if I had just
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:11
			a few just given your child, let's say some money, and you sell them? Did I give you some money?
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:20
			You're not asking them? You're asking them? And the answers obvious because you want to get to a
point which is I'm not gonna give you again.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:27
			Did I give you money? And then you're gonna say what or not right?
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:45
			So in other words, and he'll say yes, Father, you and you have given me money just recently. You
said therefore I'm not gonna give you anything else. Or I've already given you your allowance, right
and things of that nature. Similarly here, he's saying has come upon the human a period of time when
he was not the thing even mentioned.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			clear and obvious answer.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:57
			Yes, there came upon a time upon the human being a time when he was not a thing even mentioned.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			And this is how many of you
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			Have they
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:15
			understood it to me? He is guiding him to the answer. Yes, the obvious answer. Yes, there is.
Therefore, Allah subhanaw taala then speaks about the creation of the human being
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			in sun
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:22
			if
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			it's interesting that it came as
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:53
			maybe a Muslim is reading this in the it'll immediately see what is meant by it because he knows
that Allah, Allah in the Quran is going to answer are just going to ask a question like this. So he
immediately realizes that it is a question, a guiding question. Okay, a question that is meant to
bring an answer like a rhetorical question.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			But the non Muslim will read it.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:11
			who's reading the Quran? Who doesn't believe that this has come from Allah? Who doesn't know the
author of this book like that Nan was the was reading the Quran, and was wondering who's the author
and it just they couldn't find by?
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:27
			Right. And he's reading it, he'll take it as a real question, a question that causes him to ponder
has come upon the human being a period of time when he was not the thing mentioned. He will say to
himself, yeah,
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:47
			in the Halacha incident, and then he continues to read. Okay, so maybe something that raises a non
Muslims, eyebrows, but the Muslim will understand it to me, Allah subhanaw taala is guiding us to
something he's not asking us, because this is the these are the words of Allah subhanaw taala, who
is the human being?
		
00:11:50 --> 00:12:05
			Who is the human being? Two possible opinions? One, opinion, and this is the opinion of many of the
earliest scholars, that this is a reference to the first human being and this is Adam Ali's
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:31
			have not come upon a time when Adam himself the first human being was not a thing mentioned. This is
a very beautiful meaning. Why? Because it means that there was a time when there were no humans on
the face of the earth. As I was loved, there was not a thing mentioned it means human beings
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			were not anything mentioned.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:49
			We talk about the human beings ruling the earth and walking on the earth and being in charge of
things and corrupting the earth and others who are trying to fix the situation.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			Before that
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:56
			there were no human beings were the human beings they didn't exist
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:06
			there was a time when the human beings came before that. They were nothing mentioned. No me human
what exists in
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:08
			the gym.
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13
			The general creative before the human beings
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17
			and maybe before they
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			were created, also
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:26
			who knows how long the earth was uninhabited? By Jen
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:35
			nothing was mentioned. So you yourself you you're not an original part of the earth. You came to it.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			So what are you arrogant about?
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:43
			I think our time is over. So we will continue inshallah next time.
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:51
			Without one and hamdulillah Hello, Bananaman Salam Ana venum Hamid. On earlier he was suffering
