I mean
to attend with this new man so you know what Imam you know Halevi now Shafi are in a bit of costume
rather early or somebody who would tell you I mean women
in Subhanak Helena, Montana in Hollywood came from disrupt me suddenly were suddenly Emily Emily Cerny,
I praise a lot of Lady and I send prayers and blessings upon Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his noble family, righteous companions and all those that follow them with the right guidance until the Day of Judgment, glory be to you Allah, no knowledge of we accept that what you have taught us Indeed, you are the unknowing, the old wives, we ask Allah subhanaw taala as he has helped us together today, to learn and study the Quran that he makes an argument for us and not against us. And that he make, give us knowledge of the Quran. And help us to implement it in our lives. Insha Allah,
my dear brothers and sisters, we continue Surah to NASA.
And last, we left off with verse 31.
And we spoke quite a bit about it, but I'll just finish off what we have to say today, and we'll continue inshallah. Now the heaviness shape on emoji, this middle
name
well
he extracted from it, it's water, and it's pasture, we said that this is immediately understandable, right. And they immediately understood it. And people will continue to understand this, because there's an obvious meaning and there may be a more concealed scientific meaning. The obvious meaning is, Allah, we see this, we witnessed it, it's beautiful, it's one of the miracles of the last 100 that he brings out of the earth, it's water,
rings out of the earth, water, in what form?
Springs, right? Many different types of springs, a lot of the water
is actually underground, right?
How much water is above ground?
How much
they say about 70% 70% of our earth is water and the rest is left, approximately. That is correct. That's why they call it the blue planet. If you look at it from outside, if you look at the picture, it's almost all blue Subhanallah it's full of water, the land is the smaller portion, a lot of the freshwater is underground,
in what they call aquifers, right, almost like water storage
locations under the ground, a lot of this water comes out of the ground in the form of springs. No,
I mean, a lot of the water is coming out. And of course this has many benefits to humanity and animals. Similarly, right the vegetation, everything that is coming out of the earth, you and I and the 1000s of inhabitants of Earth for centuries are living off on the same earth
where all the resources coming, people are consuming the resources, they go back into the earth and they come back out with all kinds of different natural cycles that Allah subhanaw taala created for the benefit of humanity and animals Subhanallah right.
The water cycles, the air cycle, the way all the resources of the Earth are recycled. It shows you it can only be created by the one and only Allah subhanaw taala. Know
this is as we said the obvious meanings.
What's interesting is when you try to analyze the word, I mean
it's water.
It means a lot of Earth's water is underground.
And there is a huge
storage of water under the ground of the Earth, believe it or not, and sometimes fairly deep, right? The brothers is the oldest he can tell us more about that water that is deep under the ground, which eventually brought up to the surface in terms of springs. And there's a new
Another major way it happens.
And this is not immediately obvious. And this is because the way it happens is through something which is usually considered destructive and not constructive. And that is volcanoes. A lot of the water that is inside the first is brought outside of the earth through volcanoes, because a lot of what the volcano is spewing, I think also approximately 70% is water vapor.
A lot of the water came up through volcanoes, and this is why geologists say in the in the beginning stages of the Earth, volcanic activity was much larger, because they played a very important role in bringing out the water that was inside the Earth outside of the Earth, so that eventually,
all of these cycles can take place, and life may come about.
No, there's another interesting theory.
And this is that most or this is one of the theories, there's two different theories, where does all of the water that is on this planet, which scientists consider a reason for life, and they have not found life on other planets, because of the lack of such quantities of water? Where did all of this water come from?
Believe it or not, the water that you are drinking today that you are using today, was probably used by someone else of your ancestors, maybe hundreds of years ago, it's the same water is consumed, is going back into the earth. It's seeping into the oceans evaporating into the clouds, it's coming back down as rain on top of it we use and a lot of it sinks back into the ground as groundwater and so on and so forth. And the same water is being recycled Subhanak Jana, the same one has been a cycle for 1000s and 1000s of years.
Allah, where does all of this water come from?
A major theory is that it is coming from outside, it is coming. It came from comets, and meteoroids and other things that they think brought water to this planet. Of course, in the end, everything happens only by the will of philosophy. There's another theory, which also has scientific backing is not all of the water on Earth
came from the Earth itself.
In other words, it was in the earth, it was inside the earth, and it came out. It's not that it's necessarily came from outside it is
one of the earth forms
that amount of water, several 1000s or 1000s of meter cube of water that is on the earth came out of the earth and it is being recycled since that time. And this may be a reference to it. I mean,
it's water. Allah has brought us out from itself. Okay? Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean or that, you know, you don't have to constrict the meaning to that understanding, because
there was water under the earth, and he brought this out. But some scientists are trying to understand it that way. It's water. In other words, all of its water came from
underground.
This is one thing to mention about the water. Same with the Mara.
When we describe volcanic activity, the volcanic activity which is spewing out so much water vapor is also spewing out another very important gas for life on Earth. And this gas is
oxygen, no.
No
carbon.
Important greenhouse emissions are trying to reduce co2. Wait, wait, yes, we're trying to reduce co2 that is coming from UNLV right, but it's coming from industrial activity and therefore, it is harming the environment, but the co2 that is
on the earth is very much required for life on Earth, because this co2 is what is being taken by plan right. And through the process of photosynthesis, they are spewing back for you oxygen that you will read and then you recycle that and you give them back the co2 you see the cycle. So
Right.
This co2 which is so important for life,
is the second or third major component of volcanic eruptions. So volcanoes is a very important geologic
control, it's not just some mountain exploding and destroying everything that is nearby it has a very important natural role, right? This field is very important subsequently for the coming out of vegetation and plants and things of that nature, right.
Some scientists are trying to understand it more scientifically, the way Allah subhanaw taala has brought out the water, right? This water, of course, along with the sunlight, and along with the co2 is most important subsequently for bringing out all the vegetation that was in the earth. I mean,
it's a miracle in itself, show me what human beings have done as a help Allah,
Allah Allah, this is what Allah has created, show me what others besides him have created.
What is the bell
and the mountains he set firm, we spoke about this before, the phenomenon of the mountains, the importance of mountains, stabilizing the earth, right. And in this case, the Earth is also
Northey, the mountain is being stabilized to the top layer of the Earth's crust, right. So they are almost like they are stabilizing each other. Now, this also has a very important role of Allah, Allah, for the balance that exists on earth, okay, in terms of maps, these mountains, we spoke about it before
Allah, Allah made them as pegs, they are like pegs that are stabilizing the earth, if they don't stabilize the Earth's crust, the crust is on top of a lower semi fluid layer, this semi fluid layer will cause the upper layers to slip or to move right, this is why
they become so that it will not sway with you, so that this top layer will not sway with you, what the same amazing mountains and this is verified Subhanallah by
modern day Western scientists, when
the mountain is firmly in the earth, for playing that important role, all of it is important for the
right, well, rather than
the spreading of the earth and making it
important or for facilitating life on Earth, what is important,
without it, you couldn't have lived on the earth
with mountains, which he has set for me and therefore, for me, also we could not have lived. So, this is all part of this
idea of right. And this is why even in sort of,
when you see the verses about the creation of the Earth, after that, he says
this is also a reference maybe to the vegetation and the art and the plants and so on. So, this is this all seems to be part of the
the studying of the earth and making it
for the purpose of the livelihood of humans and animals and plants and everything of creation on the
meta.
So, all of this Allah subhanaw taala has done why as enjoyment or a provision for you and your grazing livestock meta Of course, gives you the idea that it may be something temporary right, when you talk about
dunya is this
temporary right. So,
gives you the meaning of enjoyment, but it also gives you the meaning of temporary enjoyment.
A temporary enjoyment and provision for you and your livestock without water. Without plants and vegetation.
Life would not exist on
a honeycomb all of these things he has done so that you and your livestock can live. If you didn't have livestock,
it would also be an issue. A lot of what you are living upon
our livestock and plants the plants and the animals are the most important for human beings life on Earth on a meta level.
Laurie de to Allah
on
To
me, but when there comes the greatest overwhelming calamity, either just a fundamental Kubler Ross
after showing the marvel of creation, Allah subhanaw taala is creation
and
for proving the fact that He will resurrect this, you see, this is the, this is what we're talking about, about how the Quran beautifully brings together all of these different facts white so that it can be a reminder. Imagine, along with all of these verses.
Imagine after all of those verses, everything that followed is just about the creation of the heavens and the earth. Imagine all the hassles of the heavens and earth came all at once.
Are you with me. And then there was a small reminder.
The reminder would just be here, where he mentioned all of those verses, but when he distributes
the reminder of the amazing creation of Allah subhanaw taala all over the Quran, and then followed it up with a reminder of the Day of Judgment. The Quran serves as a reminder, this is the wisdom Subhan Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, there's nothing like the Quran, nothing is comparable to the Quran. All of this is not just for you to remember or to understand, it is so that in the end, he wants to bring you to the the main goal. The main goal of all of this is remember,
when you look at all of this, and you see Subhan Allah
to the end of the verses and you think about the marvelous creation of Allah subhanaw taala.
And then he tells you for either
Allah.
Remember, the one that you are glorifying for doing all of this for you, is the one who is going to resurrect you and gather you for a day, which is described as the greatest catastrophe Allah's warning, you have the greatest catastrophe, nothing like the catastrophes of this dunya we said this is just child's play the catastrophes of dunya our child's play, compared to upon a Kuva wonder for money
they say catastrophe, where does this come from?
Of course, below answers, this is one of the names of the Day of Judgment.
Right? Ultimate catastrophe
comes from
Allah, Allah wahala when you talk about water, completely covering something like a big flood, you say that the water the verb is
right?
The Scholars say a
condition the thing which covers everything, the thing with over everything. In other words, it has the upper hand, nothing winds over, right, just like the water that has completely flooded a land, okay? Or
like a Wells being completely covered with water or filled with water. This is where it comes from. And some linguists also said it comes from horses running very quickly. Okay. Either way, it gives you the idea of something winning over something else and completely covering it, or compassing it. This is a fun, it covers everything. It's compasses, everything, it leaves nothing. Right? People are hopeless on the day, it is the ultimate winner of the Day of Judgment. Why
can you beat the Day of Judgment?
Can you beat it? How would you beat the Day of Judgment?
By running away from it, right? By fleeing from, if you can flee from the day of judgment, then it is not rightly called
was
because
there's no refuge, we will all be returned to Allah. No one can flee from the day of judgment. So it is a poem unless you propose why the cliche.
In addition to that,
someone may say well, why is it called
An
interesting question
because in Surah, which we'll get to Inshallah, he calls it a fog.
And he didn't call it a Farkle Culebra, right. He only call it
here he calls it upon man Kula.
Ultimate the greatest catastrophe
What could it be?
Why did they qualify it with Cobra?
Yeah, but why? Why did they qualify it here?
Some scholars said when they're describing another Arabic word for Paula is there here
it is because we allow them earlier in the same surah. Another guy here was mentioned.
And this is the that.
And what he said, when he came out and he said
this is a catastrophe in itself.
This is
someone coming out and saying something as audacious is that.
Allah subhanaw taala qualified it. That is, this is a political cover. This is the ultimate catastrophe on the Day of Judgment bomb that will cover
as Allah, Allah, Allah says, and the other is very sad to know what
was said to her what a month. Right? When he was speaking about in sort of coma when he was speaking about the defeat at the Battle of
the fetus, the Battle of Verdun was something else right now Iraq as we fall on the ultimate criteria of good and evil, it was the ultimate battle, because it was the first major battle between the nescience Muslim state and the disbelievers that we're fighting them everywhere.
But after that, Allah subhanaw taala says Benissa
there's something much greater than that. And this is our the day of judgment that
was sad.
This is something much more catastrophic and more minutes, the Day of Judgment. Similar to his his apartment, Kubler Ross is the ultimate catastrophe, nothing like it and nothing can be compared to it. This is the day my dear brothers and sisters apartment is the day when every nursing mother will neglect and forget about the child that she was nursing. The child that she had placed on her as close as possible to her to give her affection.
She'll forget about her on the Day of Judgment, she will not look at her anymore. The mother will not look at her children. The mother will not look at her children, Allah,
the Prophet, peace be upon them all are seen up see Allah, the Prophet,
peace be upon them all. Gain
for calling the people still guidance on the Day of Judgment will be seen. Not seen. See, Allah azza wa jal is angry this day and anger that is incomparable to anything else. I've seen up see, this is Palmer. It has covered everything, everything. In other words, nothing is normal anymore.
It is the thing that is on everyone's mind. Everything else is no longer important. The mother doesn't care about her children, the Prophet peace be upon them all our signals, except probably 100 followers.
Allah azza wa jal Gunther says intercession who will intercede for people not on the Day of Judgment in sha Allah.
People are running away from their fathers from their mothers from their brothers from their sisters from their children. Upon the ultimate catastrophe, nothing is important anymore. For Allah sake men and women are standing in front of each other naked. What more do you want?
Under normal circumstances under this earth, if you put men and women in front of each other naked, you know precisely what will happen, right? On the Day of Judgment.
No, upon mutton Kuvera has defeated everyone has taken everyone's mind off of everything else. The only thing on everyone's mind is the Day of Judgment, the accountability, what is going to happen next.
The only thing
that people will not forget
and is on their mind.
their deeds.
This is why interesting juxtaposition when he says, palm metal Kuvera young man to the Kerrville Insano, NASA, Allahu Akbar. So you forgot your mother's and your father's and your brothers and your sisters and your children, and everything is no longer important anymore. People are only thinking about the deeds. The only
people that they will be thinking, What did I do?
When did I put for
this is what I was promised. The only goal in sun, NASA, this is the day when everyone will remember what they have put forth of deeds
and everything for which he strove.
Meaning, everything that you stroke for whatever you spell for, you will see it now on the Day of Judgment.
Of course, many of the scholars This is a popular opinion is this, people will be remembering their deeds upon being shown in their local leads.
You may have trouble inside, meaning people will have forgotten the deeds. You ally and forgotten our deeds. We have forgotten what we did. I asked you a lot during the last week. A few gave some therapy. Do you remember how much you give?
How much did you give to that lady that was sitting out on the Masjid? Or that man who just came and needed your help? Do you remember what you did on Monday?
That small thing that you didn't even think about,
for the backbiting that you committed?
Or that when you look and you shouldn't have looked and you looked away and you forgot about it? Just last week, we're talking about years and years and
you'll be showing those genes
in your book of deeds on the Day of Judgment.
When people are showing their books,
they will remember Oh, yes, I remember this. Yes, I did this, whether they are sins, or whether they are good deeds only as total insanity.
In the other eye.
When a su
Allah, Allah azza wa jal has enumerated those deeds, Allah subhanaw taala has counted those these and recorded them for you. And they forgotten. Allah, Allah has enumerated those days when
they forgot. They forgot what Allah did. You forgot it, but your angels did not everything is written.
You will see
excruciating this when you have done your own life, you'll land in Sonoma
in the other islands
because I've been
reading your book of deeds, with your record, you yourself are enough to hold yourself accountable is all in there because if you can refuse anything, and people will attempt to argue your
result will be trying to argue escape. But ultimately, it is all there. What are you going to argue about and Allah azza wa jal is going to only hold you accountable for precisely what is in the book. Nothing more nothing.
Allah subhanaw taala isn't
the only girl in Santa Messiah. That day my brothers and sisters we will remember
how, or at least God willing, not us but others will remember how they disbelieved in Allah subhanaw taala how they were arrogant, and define Allah subhanaw taala how they sin, as if there was no day when they were going to stand before Allah subhanaw taala and even for some of the Muslims who forgot the Day of Judgment are not thinking about the Day of Judgment. You will remember that when you took the ribbon you shouldn't have taken you will remember then how you were looking at how Allah subhanaw taala forbidden you will remember then how you cut and severed the ties of kinship between you and your family and your land. And Allah and Prophet Muhammad wa salam forbade you to do
that you will remember and remember and remember these after these people will remember how they cheated this person and cheated that people will remember how they lied to this person or that people remember how they slept. And they they missed out and they missed other prayers or they didn't pray it at all. People. Remember how they used to do things for others?
admire them and to be impressed by them, but they weren't doing things slowly and sincerely for Allah subhanaw taala, one after another people will look and remember their deeds, zeal mantha the
blessing is the one only finds good in the record of deeds rested is the one who receives the book of these in the right hand. And they see prayers and they see worship and they see honesty and they see good treatment of people. And they see all of this excellent stuff. And then they go out to people and they say, Hey, read my record of this, I was sure that I would one day be standing for the accountability before Allah subhanaw taala.
in some manner, that day, my brothers and sisters, people will remember.
If they were, if they work, for the Day of Judgment, there, yo no matter
what he strove for, that people will know and remember the straw
for this farmer to cover up.
Or they were in complete heedlessness upon.
My brothers and sisters, when you read this, if
you only
remember to yourself, This is the time to remember. Because there is just remembering with regret.
It's not a place where you can compensate. It's not a place where you can
compensate for what you have what you were lacking in, in a dunya. It's not a place where you can now support things, it's finished, you only have to let come in that the you are just remembering, but you are remembering with regret.
This is the place
to remember. And for that remembrance to be beneficial.
Read that. And remember, where are the people who are remembering that
we are the Muslims who are holding themselves accountable here in the dunya. Before as well as those who are holding themselves accountable before
standing before Allah subhanaw taala.
Remember, if
there, remember it now, think back, when did you do this week,
one year, two years, three years
that you have committed, and that I have committed them remind you and your art so that it can do something for your future. Don't
do it here before it's too late.
This is a popular opinion of most colors that you will remember upon seeing the bulk of this. But
it may not necessarily negate the possibility of remembrance of the same type of remembrance that happens when someone is on their deathbed.
Or when someone is facing a disaster in front of their face.
If you were on the scene, and there was a storm, and you are almost surely you are a goner, what will you do? You will play your life
in your head like a movie. Correct. You start remembering what you did,
and used you go back and you start remembering things and so on and so forth. This may be part of the remembrance that people will remember on the Day of Judgment.
Of course, most people have forgotten.
But maybe there are things that they still remember that they have done. Now they will remember and they will and it will humble them, but it's too late. Similarly on your deathbed, and on my deathbed, it's too late.
When you're playing your life story, you think to yourself, What did I do?
My life just like this, but I'm gonna meet a lot a lot ready?
What do you mean you're not ready? You're living for the last 50 years? Not 5050 years. You're still not ready to meet Allah subhanaw taala.
Here you are old enough, but it's too late. Now you're playing the movie of your life and remembering and it's good and it's causing humility for you and you wish you can go back and you wish you can several years further. Remember now, before play your life's movie on the Omega.
Massa, hold yourselves accountable My dear brothers and sisters before you are held accountable on the Day of Judgment. Weigh your deeds in your own scale before your deeds are winning waves in the ultimate scale on the judgment and this is what the Sahaba and the setup used to do. They used to hold
hold themselves accountable here in the dunya. And they would imagine that they are almost dead, they would imagine that they are in their graves,
or that they are just about to die.
They wouldn't remember and imagine that so that it can
bring about some humility in the heart and some fear of Allah subhanaw taala that will be an incentive for them to then rectify their condition. Maybe you're not committing many sins, may Allah bless you.
But maybe you're just living your life haphazardly.
It's also a reason
maybe you're just
playing around enjoying yourself, not putting forth for the Day of Judgment. Maybe you are just living your life normally without any real goals every Muslim has to put in their life. Let me you're just living your life eating and drinking like everyone else not sinning.
Enjoying the permissible of this life? That's fine. We will not make Hello Hello. But at the same time, what's your goal? What did you prepare for the ultimate?
What are you prepared for?
How many palaces did you build for yourself in paradise?
How many countries did you plan palaces in paradise for yourself? How much have you done? How much of your money have you transferred from the bank account of km h to the bank account?
There is a transfer a wire transfer from Camp h to the
wire as
of Sunday in the way of Allah subhanaw taala How much have you done and
how much have you learned from this religion that Allah subhanaw taala has blessed us with young lady Kabul in sun Massa.
Women young
Hellfire will be exposed for all those who see. So this is indeed upon metal scuba. Finally, people will see Hellfire which Allah's partner with Allah has created as an abode for the disbelievers. Finally, it will be seen with
lemon
suddenly authentic
that Hellfire will be brought in front of people
in a amazing display in an amazing scene
with a huge number of angels dragging
Hellfires huge My dear brothers and sisters, Prophet Muhammad,
the soul thrown into hellfire.
70 years
traveling to the depths of hellfire after 70 years it hits the bottom. It's like a huge pit. The only imagination this hellfire, the throne.
The size of palaces, as we mentioned this absurd resources
will be brought and displayed for people to see Allah was
dragged by how many angels approximately 5 billion angels.
Hellfire is being dragged by 5 billion angels dragging Hellfire for the ultimate display to be shown to people. Right Prophet Muhammad wa sallam said 70,000
Angels
each quarter and there are 70,000 locations where it's going to be dragged. So 70,005 70,000 is approximately 5 billion,
5 billion angels only for dragging Hellfire for the display.
And this is why it is narrated.
By him
on the authority of obeyed
in the narration of Allah Allah which seems to be authentic or hasn't.
When he was explaining obeyed, when he was explaining the saying of Allah, Allah, Allah wa was a fever, right? That
Hellfire seen them. The dwellers of hellfire if it sees them from far away. They hear what they hear. It's roaring and it's fury. Okay,
or fury and roaring if you want to be more
upon that the Hellfire will roar. Such a loud roar, that there is no angel or profit or messenger because we upon them all, except that they will fall to their faces out of fear. Even Ibrahim alayhi salam will go and fall on his face and knees and say oh Allah I only asked you myself today.
All I asked you for today is to save me
as the Prophets and Messengers. Our thing is we found them all I've seen I've seen even Ibrahim Ali Salam, when he sees Hellfire he will fall to his knees and face and say, Oh Allah, I asked you nothing but myself, just save me. Save myself from this, Allah. Allah will protect us from
this is why
it will be made
clear to everyone who sees
most of the scholars have succeeded. And this is what seems to be the correct opinion say it will be made and display for everyone to see. Believer and this believer even though there is an opinion, there's only the disbelievers will see it. But what this is not correct.
Oh, and this was the ISS.
For those who see, and everyone will be amazed to see at that point, on the Day of Judgment right. We said the disbelievers will be blind in different locations right, but this is a location where they will be seen and the believers will also see it. This is one of the possible proofs for this, this
relief from the following authentic hadith where Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, There is no one from you, except that his Lord will speak with him with no interpreter between them.
Every one of us will speak to Allah azza wa jal directly, can you imagine?
Without an interpreter straight the way Allah has spoken to Musa and Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
he will speak to you directly, no interpreter, no barrier.
May Allah make our best day that day.
With no interpreter between them, then he will look to his right and will see nothing except what he has put forth of deeds.
And he will look to his left and will see nothing except what he has put forth. So all he sees on his left and right.
And he will look in front of him and see nothing except the fire in front of his face.
So this seems to show that everyone will see it.
He will see the fire in front of his face. So fear the Fire even with half of the date, whoever does not even find that then with kind words.
What is the
last part of the Haisla Delta security on the day? I tell you
we don't understand hellfire.
And because we don't understand Hellfire we don't fear it.
Because we don't feel it. We're just playing around.
But if you saw hellfire, or if you saw something that looks like Hellfire will lie it will make you think differently. Have you ever seen
a huge fire? Not a small one. A huge fire that is filling a large space. Have you how many people have seen such a scene?
You've seen something like that?
Did you try to remember how fire
this is what you should?
Because it's a reminder. Imagine seeing a fire in this dunya and if you want to see one, I can I can show you one
in the industrial area.
A huge fire lighting up to the sky. And this is nothing
but at least it's somewhat of a reminder to think about hellfire, the Hellfire which Allah subhanaw taala has created as an abode for 1000s. Or rather, let's say millions upon millions upon millions of people.
Were where they will be punished and tortured forever will.
This Hellfire is the one that is going to be displayed for all to see what what it is until Jamie Dimon
Hello, and ultimately,
everyone has to cross over.
In mean
everyone will be need to cross over the bridge of set up, which is over hellfire.
Everyone is going to be exposed to it and some will fall into it.
If you want to get to Paradise you have to pass a syrup over hellfire. Whatever it is that in
the modern era
then Allah
tells us about the two different groups
for
dunya
here
so as for he who has transgressed and prefer the life of the world, that indeed Hellfire will be his refuge. This Hellfire
is for whom? For the person who has the following characteristics
meaning transgression and the ultimate transgression is the transgression against your Lord Almighty
of Kufa, ultimate transgression, this belief in Allah subhanaw taala, negating his existence, insulting him as people who are actually insulting Allah. Well, this is the ultimate,
the ultimate transgression, refusing the truth of Islam, refusing the Quran and saying it is just a bunch of pills, it is magic and things of that nature. This is the ultimate
Boolean. And there's also this Boolean the transgression against your fellow human beings, or fellow creation, everything that Allah Allah created along with you, okay. Interestingly enough, this is coming in the same or a few verses after mentioning the ultimate,
right, the ultimate,
this tyrant that the world has seen,
no one likes to write in that.
He is transgressed ultimately against his Lord and also against those that he is ruling the people that he is with.
The one who has wronged himself by just believing in Allah subhanaw taala and the one who is oppressing people
and
using them for his own benefit, doing all kinds of abuse to them.
This is the type of person that Hellfire will take. As Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam said that there are three types of people that Hellfire was made for one of them is called Legion.
Right this ultimate upston is tyrants.
Allah subhanaw taala has made Hellfire for those of course,
these tyrants who do not fear Allah subhanaw taala with those that
Allah subhanaw taala has facilitated for him to rule them, and this is why Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam said Oh ALLAH whoever
is granted authority over the Muslims
and they abused that authority to oppress those under his rules Oh ALLAH then give him the same of what he is giving to those people of oppression and so on.
Dunya
what prefer
this life over the next right
in the Arabic language comes from ether and ether means you
know
right
what does he
what does it
means
to choose something over something else, to prefer something over something else, and this is why the
And
we're characterized by this beautiful adjective, where you
cannot be him that they prefer the hygiene over themselves even though they themselves were in need. They gave to the hazard even when the Mahajan came to them. So the father is one of the greatest traits and the most generic traits that you choose someone else's
welfare over your own. Right, this is right, it's a step above
that stage I love for myself certain things and at the same time, I love for you and I look for myself okay.
That one says, This is the stage of equality. I love things for myself, but I also love it for you right? The stage above I love for you something better than what I love for myself. This is a this is preferring your Webster over a very high level
this is what
dunya meaning they preferred dunya over
they give preference to the dunya over this is we're pleased
right
higher than dunya will ask you about higher
you prefer this highest dunya even though
is better and everlasting or longer lasting
about the disbelievers because this is a trace of the disbelievers
beloved brothers and sisters looking slim.
This is a trace from the disbelievers How can we be doing this now? The disbelievers are like this
where the
subpoena
those disbelievers they love
the quick one, which is this highest dunya and they leave behind their backs every day
one after another than the last
the beginning of fourth rule men can you read will hire dunya was the new Elysian fee however,
you
can
learn now
what have you found out
about
this is scary, because it is only speaking about
the issue of preferring video. Even no mention of
no mention of transgression only off
choosing and has a dunya over
whoever desires the life of this world and adornments
just loving dunya more than
we fully repaid them for their deeds. They will get everything but here in the dunya Okay, look at the generosity of Allah. They're doing things for the dunya they'll get the rewards in the dunya reward meaning material reward
not reward of good but if they're doing
in the same provision and maybe
a decent life or whatever else it may be.
We will fully repay them for the deeds they're in and they they're in will not be deprived
means they will get everything exactly lock on atoms waste less or more. Whatever they gave in the dunya
they'll find it in the dunya precisely like they wanted a hole
Okay.
Those are the ones for whom there is not in the Hereafter but the fire.
They live their life in the dunya they ate and drank and slept for the dunya they woke up and they slept.
What is their preoccupation and concern dunya nothing else they prefer to do.
What is the reward? They will have nothing but the fire in the hereafter clears.
And last is what they did there. And worthless is what they used to do. Well, of course, that
also includes those who have this
beliefs.
Because obviously, if you believe in Allah subhanaw taala, your soul conception of dunya, you should not prefer the dunya over. And this is a new phenomenon of seeing Muslims putting all of their eggs in the basket of dunya. And the basket of akhira is empty. This is
this is not the way it was before, people used to dunya and akhira was their concern. Nowadays, it's the opposite.
You're building two houses, one is
gone, this was the most beautiful walk into the house that you are building.
In the concrete space,
you're very fond the foundation you haven't adorned and decorated, you haven't painted, you haven't filled it with furniture.
This is what Muslims are doing. They're filling
the house of the dunya with adornment, and the house is empty. It's like a loose house. Because we are choosing the dunya over that we are choosing that which is to carry over that which is everlasting, we're choosing that which is immediately in front of us
over that which has been temporarily hidden from us, it will come it will be
as obvious and clear to us as we are speaking to each other now. But later on, and that's the that's the whole idea of the test.
Brothers and sisters, this is made clear by a beautiful, authentic hadith, the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu.
If you prefer one over the other, if you prefer this one, you're going to some way harm the other one. And vice versa.
No two way about it's like water in the glass. Okay, there's dirty water and you want to clean water you have to take out the dirty one, you can't have both.
Choose.
Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
the dunya. A
woman who Ababa the dunya.
Whoever loves their dunya
will harm them.
If you love dunya, in one way or another, you're going to harm us
very clearly, every time that you are completely drawn to the adornments of this dunya to the leisure and play of this dunya every time you are drawn to that play of the dunya you deprive yourself have to
have peace,
of charity of anybody that you may be doing. And feel of your dunya Prophet Moses in them said Whoever loves their dunya
and whoever loves
their dunya similarly,
in one way or another, you have defined yourself some of the dunya Of course, we know it hamdulillah Islam asks us to balance things, it doesn't mean that we are going to completely mean dunya that we are not going to enjoy ourselves. No, this is not the meaning. But your concern, your main concern, your preoccupation. What are you always talking about? Are you talking about dunya? Or are you also talking about? Are you always thinking in your mind how to increase your bank accounts in the dunya? Or are you thinking how to increase the account of an actual preoccupation? Right? This is what I was gonna say and whoever loves his app, will necessarily harm his dunya. So he said, For as you use
the same verb,
people may.
So choose
that which is everlasting over that which will eventually
Nautilus
or something that will eventually
temporary are fleeting, or will be eventually, eventually will perish.
Similarly to the other very important Hadith.
Really, we need to have as a slogan in our life, the authentic hadith where Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, I think this has
given
just about this hadith for its importance, because it is what is going to change your life puts yourself in the scale of this hadith.
Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
Men kindness in dunya Hama, who for commodity among
dunya, Elana to the end of the Hadith whoever
Whatever sole concern is the dunya. When character dunya is so concerned in the dunya, you will get three things for that.
Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah was scattering your affair.
You're trying to make all of your affairs straight and organized.
Allah was scattered for you know, good. Why because you're so concerned the dunya Allah, Allah,
Allah
as your poverty or will be clear right in between your eyes, meaning it will be obvious to all, it will be so close to you. But you will not be able to do anything about
you're looking for dunya you're looking to increase your wealth and your fortunes, you're not thinking about Allah subhanaw taala will do what to scatter your affairs and
grant you poverty, poverty, maybe real poverty, and possibly poverty in terms of requiring a needy others how many people Subhanallah, their sole concern is the dunya. They're running around, they cannot depend on anyone, but
the people around them, they cannot depend on themselves, they don't have this right inside themselves. They're always leaving, people are always required, you'll find having several 1000s.
Taking a loan,
from a bank, or from another person and forms over twice, because your sole concern is that he has a million in his account, but he wants the second million, and so on and so forth. The sole concern is the dunya.
Dunya in La makuti. But what is the result of all of this, the consequence, the only thing they will have in the end is they'll only achieve what was written or prescribed for them in the first place. So you lost the ultimate loss. You didn't achieve what you wanted to achieve. And whatever you did achieve finally, was already decreased.
So this is the losers approach. Ultimate losers approach Montana's in dunya.
And this is something my brothers and sisters, that when you fix it, God willing, we'll all fix it. When we fix it now.
It will stay with us for the rest of our life as long as we are constantly evaluating it. Right.
And this is your purpose of being here. This is your Nia of me here. I asked, you know, what is your sole concern? You have to tell?
If you tell me Well, it's not really disorders, I'm kind of in between, it means you have work to do. If you tell me straight it is
not working for us like I shouldn't,
then it is clear for you. Some there's work to be done. If you say Alhamdulillah All I care about. And dunya is just coming to me as I go. This is the way to be. This is the ultimate winner solution.
When careless in dunya among the opposite woman kind of knee and whoever makes the knee. His intention is what?
For your whole life.
Fix it for your whole life. Because then when you fix that intention for your whole life, it will apply to everything you're doing. Are you with me?
In other words,
there's a need for everything we do, definitely. But when you fix the ultimate, the overall me
somehow transcend to all of the deeds that you do in your life. So fix the overall layer and convince yourself and do the required soul searching to convince yourself that my full concern I am here, you created me. I exist I am eating and drinking and sleeping
for you
for your pleasure for your worship.
In order to seek paradise in order to be able to winners on the Day of Judgment. I don't want
I just want them to do what will allow me to worship you properly and to make Dawa and to bring about Nusrah
and glory to the Sangha and this Deen fixing the ultimate intention woman kindness
and whoever makes the his intention. Jana Allahu Allahu Allah. Then Allah azza wa jal will unify your affairs.
Then your affairs will be organized like you desire is even
dunya Allah
and He will make your,
your wealth, your ultimate wealth in your heart. Why? Because even if you don't have much, you will be contented you will be happy, you will be feeling as if you are the most versatile of people around you, even though others may be richer, and how many people have millions, but they are miserable. And how many people are in destitute poverty.
They are happy, and they are content. Why? Because they have really in their heart. They only depend on themselves.
They don't they don't need anyone. They're not seeking the help of anyone, you find they are barely making
you do something, thank you, but I don't need anything
that Allah Places in the Heart because they make their intention
dunya we're here
and ultimately, after all of this dunya is just coming to you are running away from dunya and dunya is following you.
The dunya comes to you.
Voluntarily it means it is being compelled to come to you, you are not going after it. It is coming to you. Allah azza wa jal is granting you you are not really looking for a fortune. Your intention is suddenly
whether you're a businessman or a doctor or an engineer or a politician or historian or whatever you may be somehow out of this as you please send you live
in a way that you least think whether it is actual money and wealth, or whether it is another type of risk Allah is sending you the dunya
and the beautiful thing is your winner in most situations, you haven't lost the dunya is granting you and at the same time you are walking towards the end you don't hear behind your back. So the people have
let us not be people of dunya
dunya
dunya
the other types are those who are just preferring the dunya over the Akela
their sole concern is dunya
they are not thinking about the day they will meet Allah subhanaw taala and you hear this nowadays Allah
from believers and starting to hear it even from some Muslims
further live your life.
Enjoy life
is just one life. Enjoy it.
Handicap yourself with religiosity
humility before your Lord and worship and live your life. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay because they think there's no accurate. It's okay if you're just gonna die. And that's all it's not like that. My dear brother, my dear sister, apart from the fact that those people who are living their life at large, to a large extent are miserable, miserable people.
Even if there was no accurate we should be living the way we are living love to Allah has only required and commanded that which is beneficial for us. Those people who are living their life.
Do what you want brother, go take girlfriends have many girlfriends. It's okay, no problem. No problem. Yeah, now you're saying that no, but when you're going to be scorched with the firewall of Allah, you'll realize what an idiot viewer How can you transgress against the limits that Allah subhanaw taala has placed for us? No, it's not about living the way you want. It's about living the way Allah subhanaw taala orders and commanded
the dunya all we can think about this dunya there are many people like this. They could care less about something called that. They're not even thinking maybe they
might be there. Maybe there's a day of judgment. Maybe you hear that.
There's a day of judgment. Maybe we'll be held accountable. Maybe we'll meet Allah. He's just living his life as he wants to.
The Hellfire
is most deserving of these types of people.
For them,
Hellfire will be the refuge and look at the word that is used. Refuge.
Hellfire is no refuge.
Refuge is a place that you go to, to practice.
Fix yourself from something dangerous.
But here he says Hellfire is their refuge. Why? Because
they didn't take Allah subhanaw taala as their refuge, they took the dunya as the refuge.
Right? And therefore Allah subhanaw taala made the ultimate refuge, the hellfire, of course the sarcastic Wilaya the Beloved,
this is your place of refuge, because you didn't say Allah subhanaw taala is your refuge and you didn't work for us. So Jehane is going to be your abode and your ultimate and eternal refuge seek refuge know
what in your salary to buy consoles, you have to be met in some movies. When they seek help when they beseech Allah subhanaw taala they are given
the right race is usually something
you have to be let in
yes we do when
they're given water, dirty water like the remnants of dirty oil that is so hot and scorching that when they come to drink it it will try their faces Will
you also be in can walk the yes when we do
the beloved version protect us in the
last version protect us from hellfire
and make us of the people of the people of dunya
halen phenomenal sending
any questions or comments?
Talking, not seeing,
seeing only in paradise.
This believers will not have this
ultimate privilege, this ultimate honor seeing Allah
they will not have this honor. But Allah, Allah will speak to them. That's a different issue. Yes, directly without an interpreter
so that's
the beginning of food.
Verse

Verse 15.
Anything else
this is why the disbelievers safe
in here in the dunya
it is only about this has in dunya there is no such thing as an afterlife. Now
we live and die
nothing else nothing afterwards. What's up my dear brother, my dear sister, nothing just
in the grace we are friends we have when we have decomposed nothing afterwards
what a loss
what an ultimate loss and what what kind of mentality Subhanallah what kind of logic these are the smart people are saying this we live and die
afterwards
how do we know
this question How do we know is there some kind of criteria that we can use to judge if we are people of dunya or if we are people of action? This is similar to the
companion who came to Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam first on the hola Han
and said to him
hamdulillah has become a Munna. His name was humble.
He said oh hamdulillah has become a hippo.
Why? Why are you saying this about yourself? Right. He said to him why? What are you speaking about? He said, we sit with
Muhammad peace be upon him. He reminds us
From the art of paradise in Hamburg, we remember much it humbles us. And
then
we go back to our families. We play with our families and spend time with them and forget much of what
Prophet Muhammad wa sallam taught us.
The very interesting thing is, is the reaction
not the reaction of anyone.
Nowadays, if someone came to you and said something like this, no, don't worry, it's not like that. It's okay. No, I didn't say any of that. He said, Wallahi, I find the same thing that you are seeing, I see the same thing. So let's go and ask Robert Mazur, he didn't even
he said, I'm feeling the same, let's go to
the best of the Alaska province.
And they both went to Finland, and they
presented their complaints.
This is the situation.
So Prophet Muhammad philosopher, then said to them,
there's a time for this and a time for this.
The balance of Islam tells us
don't put all of your eggs in the basket of dunya. And at the same time, don't completely abandon and neglect dunya and become a hermit. This is not the idea.
But the idea is the following.
The idea
is the following.
Do not
in the dunya, and then that which is permissible, okay.
They all have what you require to say on the past, to
me, you're walking towards your destination is right.
Make your sole concern.
And while you're going towards that,
it's only natural that you become a little bit tired
of worship of Quranic recitation of
seeking knowledge of all of the different things that you are doing.
While you're walking on the way you take some of that which is permissible. In order to refresh,
you get
up so that you can continue walking, not so that you can sit back and
you're solid is hurting you for the next few hours, you're just taking what you need to continue walking towards your final destination, right? Similarly, you're getting a little bit tired of worship, and you'll speak a little bit, you'll take some rest, while you're walking, you're getting a little bit tired, you want something a little bit fun, you want some enjoyment. So you go out with your friends, and enjoy yourself, right? Just enough to continue on the path towards
the problem is that you are walking on the path towards dunya. And on the way you're thinking a little bit of
prayer, a little bit of Quran here, this is the issue, you see the criteria.
Your concern is the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala this is what you are striving for.
As you're only taking
as much as you require to continue on that path. This is the way to know.
Now, people will have different
criteria or standards for how much they need. The more we are people of dunya the more we will require us while we are walking towards the right. But again, this is why when you said what is the criteria, one of them is sit down with yourself and think to yourself, What do I usually strive for?
The pleasure of Allah, Allah or the dunya? Why am I here? If someone were to come and ask you?
Why are you here?
What's your first answer?
To get an education,
to live my life to get married? To make money to me?
What's your first answer without thinking? This will tell you whether you are for
your immediate answers to
anything related to
people. When do you usually talk about
your talk and your conversations throughout the day?
That will also tell you what you are about. Look at your actual throughout the day. Try to categorize it
maybe over a week.
Look at what you've done and categorize it. This is for
Now this is what this is for the knee and this is this is what this is for linear this is for linear, you will start
to categorize li a person was going
to answer finally the question
peak of that which is permissible. No problem with that it is Hello, but only take from it what you need to continue. And all of
that itself my brothers and sisters, there's not a one day journey. That's a life journey.
What we're speaking about here, so don't think it's gonna happen between the day and a night. It's something you're always striving for.
Always trying to reduce what you need of the dunya once you get to the level where you feel okay, I need some fun. I need some enjoy. Of course. Unfortunately, this is not the case nowadays. It's usually the opposite
people.
Okay, I need to get some. I need some. I need some prayers. I need some work. No, let's go to the other side. Which is I'm putting everything in that. When I find that okay, I'm getting I think of the dunya was I require
anything else
