Mohammed Faqih – Reflections & Reminders – Allah gives respite to the oppressor

00:00:01 --> 00:00:01

			Santa Monica
		

00:00:05 --> 00:00:11

			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah Salam o Allah alayhi wa sallam in the first
rock I recited from solitude
		

00:00:14 --> 00:00:18

			and solitude, ALLAH SubhanA, Allah mentions stories of
		

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

			some of the previous nations
		

00:00:23 --> 00:00:23

			and
		

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

			how they were destroyed
		

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

			for,
		

00:00:30 --> 00:00:33

			for what they have, what offenses that they had committed.
		

00:00:35 --> 00:00:44

			And the last story that is mentioned, is a story of Musa Raisa, or Allah because I just, you know,
briefly mentioned,
		

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46

			so,
		

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

			so ALLAH SubhanA, Allah says at the end,
		

00:00:50 --> 00:00:54

			what can barely get out of the water beaker either pour over here volume,
		

00:00:55 --> 00:00:55

			right?
		

00:01:01 --> 00:01:09

			Such is the punishment of your Lord, when he ceases, the towns are meaning not the towns but
		

00:01:11 --> 00:01:11

			those who
		

00:01:13 --> 00:01:28

			inhabit these towns, the citizens of the towns. You know, sometimes in the Quran, you know, there's
this figurative speech to you say this. This town is an evil town what makes the town evil or good
is what
		

00:01:29 --> 00:01:48

			the actions and the culture of its people the lifestyle of its people. So Allah Subhana Allah says,
Allah azza wa jal takes these downs or destroys these people. And Allah subhana haves after
mentioning different punishments, Allah says, such is the punishment of your Lord once he ceases
		

00:01:50 --> 00:02:02

			these wrongdoing people, right. So the Prophet SAW Allah They said I'm commenting on this idea. He
said the following statement on the authority of Abu Musab SRA and others.
		

00:02:03 --> 00:02:08

			The prophesy said and said in the law her to Allah or in Allah, Allah Allah Allah, Allah Allah
		

00:02:10 --> 00:02:14

			indeed Allah subhana wa to Allah, the blessed and the most Hi
		

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

			Liam Hallo live volume
		

00:02:20 --> 00:02:25

			in Allah terracotta Allah Yom Hallo, a Umali the volume
		

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

			gives respite
		

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

			gives postponement
		

00:02:33 --> 00:02:45

			sometime, right, doesn't happen immediately. Sometimes it does. But normally the Sunnah of Allah
subhanaw taala is that it doesn't happen immediately. Right? Live on him,
		

00:02:46 --> 00:02:50

			to the oppressor or the wrongdoer, ALLAH SubhanA. Allah gives
		

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

			extended respite and
		

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

			some room
		

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

			right
		

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

			had either as a whole
		

00:03:02 --> 00:03:03

			let me fleet
		

00:03:04 --> 00:03:08

			and but once Allah subhanaw taala ceases the wrongdoer.
		

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10

			There is no escape.
		

00:03:12 --> 00:03:12

			They can't escape.
		

00:03:14 --> 00:03:28

			And once the punishment arrives, once someone's hand over to Allah's wrath arrives, there is nothing
to to protect anyone from it. No one and those who have been
		

00:03:29 --> 00:03:46

			designated to be the recipients of the punishments will be punished. They won't be able to escape.
And the famous story that we just mentioned, the other day, we mentioned how no how they set up,
tried at the very last moment tried to save his own son.
		

00:03:48 --> 00:03:55

			We essentially BMP motion can devalue another no hurry. He called upon his son he said Erica mana,
jump on the ship.
		

00:03:56 --> 00:03:59

			The Ark there is still some room there is still a chest.
		

00:04:00 --> 00:04:13

			He said no. He refused, though his father was desperately trying to save him. Right? He refused.
Well, hello Boehner Han motif Academy, no more pain and he was he was amongst those who were who
perished in that flood.
		

00:04:16 --> 00:04:36

			So, so no one can can escape the punishment of Allah subhanaw taala once it comes, right. And Allah
Subhana Allah Quran talks about, there's more than one story in which when they see the storm,
right, that is about to destroy them coming approach them.
		

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

			Many of them didn't even take heat.
		

00:04:40 --> 00:04:59

			They couldn't, they didn't know. You know, they didn't even turn to Allah subhanho wa taala. But
even if they do, once they see the punishment coming. It won't do them any good. It's too late.
Right? And this happened with Pharaoh in particular. Subhan Allah is interesting how Quran is
mentioned in the first
		

00:05:00 --> 00:05:01

			I'm in the Surah
		

00:05:02 --> 00:05:12

			Surah today and in the second archive when we were reading in the Bucha Rebecca Shaheed that the
punishment or the wrath of your Lord is severe. And this is also
		

00:05:13 --> 00:05:30

			attack a hadith you know for our Northam, which is mentioned in the Quran very frequently, you know,
the worst offender in history Annie after a bliss. He's the second most mentioned wrongdoer in the
Quran.
		

00:05:31 --> 00:05:34

			Around at the very last moment when he realized that he was drowning,
		

00:05:35 --> 00:05:36

			what did he say?
		

00:05:38 --> 00:05:43

			I'm into, and no La ilaha illa levy MLSP, but always right.
		

00:05:46 --> 00:05:47

			He said,
		

00:05:48 --> 00:06:07

			Allah. He said, I went to a no La Ilaha illa Allah the Amira, three Benoy. I bear witness that there
is no God worthy to be worshipped except the one that children of Israel have embraced. And he
didn't even have the okay when you're drowning. How much time do you have?
		

00:06:09 --> 00:06:40

			Yeah, this is a long statement, right? Get to the point. Say, I believe in Allah. Oh, Allah save me.
La ilaha illa Allah is so shortest, but because of because it didn't come from a humble heart. And
he was not. He was not honest. He was not truthful. He's still struggling with himself. He's like,
you know, okay, I believe that there is no God worthy to be worshipped except the one that the
children of Israel have. Like as if this is a spell that will somehow magically save him from his
fate.
		

00:06:41 --> 00:06:53

			Gibreel said to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Oh, Muhammad, he said, You should have seen
me. Do you believe you believe the angel you should have seen me stuff his mouth.
		

00:06:55 --> 00:06:55

			Right?
		

00:06:56 --> 00:07:03

			With with the with the sand of the of the, you know, so that that he wouldn't finish the statement.
		

00:07:05 --> 00:07:09

			I was afraid that Allah subhanaw taala may show him mercy even at this last minute.
		

00:07:11 --> 00:07:33

			Obviously Gibreel was given what degree he was given the command to destroy them. So Gibreel was
just doing his job Palestina. Right. So, so he said, You should have seen me stuff his mouth with
with dirt so that he wouldn't, he's not able to speak right, maybe Allah subhanaw taala.
		

00:07:35 --> 00:08:03

			So, this is this is. So this kind of Eman or this kind of faith or this kind of response at the very
last moment, or once the person is taken, or once the person is exposed or punished for their
offenses, saying sorry, at this, at this point, doesn't doesn't do the person any good. And that is
exactly why the prophets, I seldom share this hadith of the Sahaba so that you and I can actually
		

00:08:05 --> 00:08:09

			take opportunity of the time that we have the extension that we have,
		

00:08:10 --> 00:08:21

			and really hold ourselves accountable and say, Wait a minute, have I committed any offenses? Have I
wronged anyone? Have I done anything that could come back and haunt me?
		

00:08:22 --> 00:08:51

			And if I have, because there are different forms of injustice that we can fall into? Then we can
redeem ourselves and say, You know what, let me let me you know, let me make sure that I take care
of this in this life before it's too late for Allah Subhana Allah holds me accountable. Last point
that I want to make is that my dear brothers and sisters, there are certain offenses that Allah azza
wa jal hastens the punishment for the person for in this life.
		

00:08:52 --> 00:09:02

			And of course, well as I would ask you, why should the punishment of the Hereafter is worse, but
there are certain offenses that a person will be punished for in this life.
		

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06

			And one of these offenses is what
		

00:09:07 --> 00:09:09

			wronging one's parents?
		

00:09:11 --> 00:09:12

			Your ideal Allah subhanaw taala
		

00:09:13 --> 00:09:22

			dunya a person who offends or disrespects or abuses his or her parents will be punished for it in
this life.
		

00:09:24 --> 00:09:28

			And on top of that, they will be prevented from entering Jana, that whole janitor app.
		

00:09:30 --> 00:09:59

			So this is this is serious business. Right? And this applies to all of us because we're all we're
all someone's child, or we may have committed some some things that we regret. And we should ask
Allah Subhana Allah for forgiveness, and if you have your parents around, you still have some, you
have a chance to actually redeem yourself and you have a chance to ask them for forgiveness and you
have a chance to honor them and ask them to pray for you. And ask Allah Subhana Allah to forgive
you. Right
		

00:10:00 --> 00:10:16

			But this is something serious. And I want to say this to many of our martial law, we have some of
our youth here as well. You know, I know that sometimes you get, you know, the wrong message when
you're told you're just young, you're just a kid, it's okay.
		

00:10:17 --> 00:10:52

			No, you're going to be held accountable. If you're at an age where you're where you have to pray,
then you're going to be held accountable for your offenses. And everything that you do to your
parents will be done to you, and you will suffer its consequences. And if you're good to your
parents, and obedient and thankful and respectful, Allah subhanaw taala will bless you, and ask
anyone from the people that you see around you that are who are successful or who, who are doing
well in Allah Subhana Allah is blessing them. Tell them what is your secret? I bet you most of them,
if not all of them will tell you.
		

00:10:53 --> 00:10:54

			My parents do
		

00:10:55 --> 00:10:57

			my parents being pleased with me.
		

00:10:58 --> 00:11:15

			Right? I personally have not met anyone who has, who has what I say successful. I'm not talking
about someone who's just, let's say, who has you know, certain achievements in this life? No, I'm
talking about someone who is righteous, right? And at the same time, mashallah, they're doing very
well.
		

00:11:17 --> 00:11:46

			Their needs are met, their needs are taken care of, they're doing very, you know, Allah subhanaw
taala is blessing them. When he when I asked them mashallah, you know, what's, what's the one thing
99.9% of the time, they will say that you are of my parents, well, my parents being pleased with me.
Right? And I've seen people who have suffered miserably in this life, they suffered and in spite of
their talent, and their great brains, and many of their skills that they have,
		

00:11:47 --> 00:12:08

			because of what they have done to their parents, or because they were not patient with their
parents, or because they were not wise with their parents. So keep that in mind. Insha Allah Allah
may Allah subhanaw taala protect and guide all of our children may Allah subhanaw taala make them
obedient to their parents, may Allah subhanaw taala bless this community in sha Allah Huhtala
		

00:12:10 --> 00:12:15

			you know, may you all have a safe return to your classrooms inshallah time
