00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			Tonight we're going to, inshaAllah,
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			have part 1 of
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:19
			reflections in tafsir of Surat Al Duha. InshaAllah
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			the first one of the Isar al Sur.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23
			And we'll do part 2 day after tomorrow.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			InshaAllah tomorrow,
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:28
			is the graduation of, one of my children,
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			so I won't be able to make it
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:31
			back.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:34
			So inshaAllah ta'ala join us. In my opinion
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			one of the most, if not the most
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:38
			relevant surah of the Qisar of Surah.
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			A surah that should, inshaAllah will talk about
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:41
			it.
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			After the sunnah be in the lab, we'll
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			begin
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:13
			at
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:15
			8:30.
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			It's important that in a tafsir gathering that
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			I well, most yeah.
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			That I would be sitting,
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:04
			but I'm I'm a little excited today
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:06
			about this Surah.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:07
			And
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			if it's up to me, I would actually
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:12
			just spend, like, a month discussing the Surah.
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:13
			And, no, This is one of the most
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			relevant Surah of the Quran.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			So welcome to the series, Insha Allah,
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20
			which we will begin tonight,
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:22
			without any further delay.
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:01
			Wonder,
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07
			you know,
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10
			well, what I wanted to say is, remember,
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			the prophet
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14
			said, anytime a group of people get together
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16
			in any of the houses of Allah to
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:18
			recite the book of Allah and discuss it
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			amongst themselves, prophet
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			says 4 things happen.
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:29
			Tranquility and serenity descends upon them. Tranquility
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32
			and and Sakeena descends upon them.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34
			And they will be showered or covered with
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:36
			Allah Azza Wa Jal's mercy.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:42
			The angels surround them. In in one narration
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			it says that the angels surround a gathering
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:47
			where people are discussing the Quran in circles.
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:51
			In circles, one layers after another on top
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:52
			of each other,
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			all the way to the to the heavens.
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:57
			Players of angels.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:58
			They will
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			And the best of all,
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:06
			That Allah
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:08
			mentions
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			those who are present sitting, taking the time
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			to discuss the book of Allah
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:18
			The the intended, you
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:22
			know, objective of this particular series is to
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:22
			discuss
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			Pisar a Sur, the short Suras.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:28
			What are Pisar of Sur?
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:29
			The scholars
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:32
			divide the Quran into different sections.
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:34
			Atiwal,
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:37
			like the long, you know, Al Me'en, and
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:38
			you know, Muhaqqal.
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40
			And then Al Mufasal. Al Mufasal is from
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:42
			Surat Qaf all the way to the end
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:44
			of the Quran. And then Al Mufasal is
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:45
			divided into 3 sections.
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:47
			Right?
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:50
			The the long surahs of Al Mufasal,
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:53
			these are 2 to 3 pages.
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:54
			And then
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:58
			the the middle or the the medium sized
		
00:28:58 --> 00:28:59
			Suras,
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:01
			these are about a page, half a page,
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:04
			a page and a half. And then Qisar
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:04
			al Sur.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			Qisar al Mufasal.
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			They they may call them Qisar al Sur,
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11
			the short Surahs, or they may call
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:13
			them Qisar al Mufasal.
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:17
			The shortest of the last section of the
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:17
			Quran.
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:23
			And these surahs begin with Surah Al Duha.
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26
			So that's what we're going to be focusing
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			on. The series was was titled
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:30
			touched by an angel, because
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:33
			these Suras were revealed in the early Mecca,
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:34
			you know,
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:37
			era when the prophet salallahu alaihi wasalam interacted
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			with Jibreel for the first time, and he
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:40
			was literally touched by an angel. He was
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:43
			literally hugged and embraced by Jibreel alaihi wasalam.
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:44
			Also in
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:47
			we're not trying to sound like,
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50
			someone said well I you know it sounded
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:52
			like a a title from a a church
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:54
			gathering or from a no. No. It's it's
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:57
			really to remember a dear friend and and
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			brother of our Sheikh Mohammed Sharif who was
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:02
			the first one to use that title in
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:04
			the in his famous about 20 years ago,
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:05
			in his famous series,
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:07
			of Tafsir Juz'amma
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:11
			known as touched by an angel, Rahimahullah. So
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:13
			it was just we borrowed that from him
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:14
			just to remember him, Alayhi, Rahimahullah.
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:17
			So insha'Allah ta'ala, the intention is to cover
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:20
			Surah Duha this week and then few Surah's
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:22
			the next couple of weeks
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			before, I break for Hajj inshaAllah.
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:28
			Surah to Duha is a Meccan Surah,
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:30
			and it's agreed upon that it's a Meccan
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:31
			Surah.
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:32
			It was
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:34
			one of the earliest
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:35
			revelations
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:37
			to come down.
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:40
			Perhaps according to some scholars it was the
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42
			3rd Surah to be revealed.
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:47
			It's a Surah that came to to to
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:50
			console the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:52
			And there's a,
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:54
			you know, a context behind the revelation.
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:01
			There is
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:05
			you know an incident.
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:07
			So they said basically,
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:10
			the the scholars of tafsir say
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:13
			that after the revelation came down to the
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:16
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam there was a
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:17
			pause.
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:25
			The,
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:28
			Polytheists or the pagans of Mecca they
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:30
			said,
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:35
			Allah has forsaken him and Allah has abandoned
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:35
			him.
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:40
			In another narration it says that, Mujameel
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:41
			hamalatulhatab,
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:44
			the wife of Abu Lahab, She's the one
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:46
			that came to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:49
			sallam, and she said to him to his
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:50
			face, oh Muhammad,
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:54
			you know people are saying that your your
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:57
			your thing or your companion meaning Jibril
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:58
			is not coming to you.
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:01
			And this means that your
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:03
			forsaken you. You're no longer you're not good
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:05
			enough. You're not qualified.
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:07
			It's over.
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:12
			And that caused the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:13
			sallam great level of
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:16
			distress.
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18
			The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam started to
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:20
			question himself. Was I not good enough? Did
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:21
			I not do my best? So
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:25
			tahazin Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. In some
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:28
			narrations it says that it's it there was
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:29
			a pause for 40 days.
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:34
			In in another narration
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37
			it said that it went up to 6
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:38
			months.
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:44
			So the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam went
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:46
			to Khadija according to one narration.
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:48
			He went to Khadija and he said, I
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:49
			think my Lord has
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:52
			disqualified me, has abandoned me,
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:55
			and and it's over for me.
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:58
			So they say that Khadija said to him,
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:58
			no.
		
00:32:59 --> 00:32:59
			So
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:02
			again I currently this narration,
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:05
			which is not the strongest narration.
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:09
			Khadija for the second time she she reassures
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:10
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:13
			sallam.
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:16
			And she said Allah There's no way Allah
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:17
			would choose you and then
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:20
			drop you.
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:22
			Be patient.
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:26
			Right?
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:29
			So again this narration is questioned by the
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:31
			scholars. They said it's it's a weak narration.
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:34
			Not because of what Khadija said, but because
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:35
			of
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:37
			what is claimed to have been said by
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:39
			the prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam. The point
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:40
			here is that the prophet shalallahu alaihi wa
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:42
			sallam was indeed didn't know.
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:44
			What does this mean? What does this pause
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:46
			mean? He wasn't used to this.
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			And this in and of itself
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:51
			is one of the clear
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:53
			indications and evidence
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:54
			evidences
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:56
			early on that this is what?
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:59
			From Allah. And that Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:01
			sallam is the messenger of Allah. And that
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:04
			Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam has to wait
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:05
			for revelation to come from Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:08
			ta'ala. He is not the author or the
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
			person producing this. Why would anyone do this?
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:12
			If they say If they say You know
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:15
			some people say that for 40 years he
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:18
			was plotting, and planning, and preparing, and authoring,
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:20
			and putting together this Quran, and then he
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:22
			started producing it. Why would anyone do that?
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:25
			Why would anyone allow people for 6 months
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:26
			to to mock him
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:28
			and come and, you know, make fun of
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:30
			him, especially Umu Jamil, his neighbor,
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:32
			after what she has done, him and his
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:35
			uncle? Why would anyone, you know why would
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:36
			he do that? Why would he allow the
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:39
			Meccans to spread rumors about him, and about
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:42
			him being dropped or being forgotten by Allah
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:45
			subhanahu wa ta'ala? Why? Why go through that?
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:47
			Yeah? I mean why would he do that
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:48
			salallahu alayhi wa sallam. But
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:52
			So you know And then the scholars discuss
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:54
			what's what was the Hikma? Why did Allah
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:56
			subhanahu wa ta'ala pause the revelation for this
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:57
			for this long?
		
00:34:58 --> 00:35:00
			We we can discuss that insha'Allahahu ta'ala
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:02
			later.
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:06
			So what does the Surah
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:08
			actually talk about?
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:09
			The Surah begins,
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:13
			the Surah which is of made of 11
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:15
			verses. The Surah begins with
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:17
			a Qasam.
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:18
			Qasam is an oath,
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:22
			and it's an amazing Qasem actually. Qasem is
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:25
			an oath. Tabbeda Usur of your Qasem. And
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:27
			this is very common especially what?
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:29
			Where do we find Qasem?
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:32
			In Meccan Meccan revelations.
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:34
			So the Surah begins with
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:37
			a Qasem or an oath
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:38
			by the Abduha.
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:39
			So
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:49
			2 oaths or 2 objects
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:49
			of
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:52
			to this, you know, for this oath.
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:54
			One is
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:54
			'Abduha'.
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:59
			And 'Abduha' scholars say,
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:01
			you know, it means
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:02
			one of 2
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:03
			things
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:04
			or both.
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:08
			1, it means the whole the entire
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:08
			day.
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:12
			The entire day. Daylight time.
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:13
			From
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:17
			yeah. From sunrise all the way to sunset.
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:19
			This whole day when the day is
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:20
			bright.
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:25
			In the in the Arabic language, and when
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:26
			we talk about,
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:28
			you know, the, you know,
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:32
			you use a portion of an object in
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:33
			reference to the whole object.
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:36
			Right? So for instance,
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:39
			you say so and so came
		
00:36:40 --> 00:36:41
			or Rasuh.
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:45
			You'll you'll refer to a person by using
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:46
			his head.
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:47
			Right?
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:50
			You you may say,
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:53
			or unfortunately America use they use some other
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:54
			body parts.
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:55
			Right?
		
00:36:57 --> 00:36:59
			So you will say, you know,
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:03
			I have this many heads.
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:06
			People even when referring to cattle they say
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:08
			this person has this many heads.
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:11
			Not only the head. Yeah. The whole nobody.
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:14
			So they said because this is the the
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:15
			the brightest
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:17
			portion of the day,
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:20
			it is it refers to the whole day.
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:22
			And some scholars say there is an indication
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:23
			in the following
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:26
			that says that that's what's intended.
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:28
			The other
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:32
			and most obvious and most popular opinion is
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:33
			that no, it's a portion of a day.
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:36
			It's a it's one it's a particular period
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:38
			within the day, and that is what is
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:40
			known as the forenoon,
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:41
			like the
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:44
			the beginning of the day. When the sun
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:44
			rises
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:46
			above the horizon,
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:48
			and before
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:50
			the sun
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:51
			reaches the zenith.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:53
			What the well known,
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:54
			you know,
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:57
			time period that we know
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:00
			as Duha. So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:03
			swears by it. And Allah doesn't say anything
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:05
			about Duha. So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala just
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:06
			swears by Duha, what Duha.
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:09
			The following Qasam
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:10
			is
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:12
			a little more
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:14
			complex. It's not just
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:15
			No.
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:17
			So we're gonna come to that.
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:19
			So now
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:22
			the question here is, okay, when Allah Subhanahu
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:25
			Wa Ta'ala uses something as an oath, it's
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:26
			intended in and of itself.
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:31
			And it's connected to the Joab. Because Qasam
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:32
			in Arabic
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:34
			or in in Bilava,
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:36
			the linguists
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:39
			say that when there is Qasem there is
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:42
			always Jawab Qasem. Okay. So when there is
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:44
			an oath there is something that the oath
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:45
			was was made for,
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:48
			And you need to look for that.
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:49
			So
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:51
			so there has to be a connection
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:54
			between the Qasem
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:58
			and the statement of fact that you're stating.
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:02
			There has to be some sort of connection.
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:03
			It's not just random.
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:06
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:09
			doesn't just choose anything. And scholars also say
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:12
			said that when Allah Azzawajal generally speaking about
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:14
			Qasam, when Allah Azzawajal use any
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:18
			object, be it like a celestial body or
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:20
			a a time of, you know, something that
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:22
			is abstract or something that is,
		
00:39:24 --> 00:39:24
			you
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:26
			It actually
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:29
			shows the significance and the importance of that
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:31
			element
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:33
			that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is using for
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:35
			in his Qasr. And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:38
			says basically he's telling us pay attention to
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:39
			it.
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:44
			So
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:47
			and then the scholars talk about, you know,
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:50
			okay, Luhaha. What is why Luhaha? What's but
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:51
			one of the most amazing
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:55
			is is one of the most amazing beautiful
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:55
			insights
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:57
			regarding Abuha.
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:00
			They said this Surah came to console the
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:01
			prophet salallahu alaihi wasalam,
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:04
			comfort the prophet salallahu alaihi wasalam,
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:06
			provide positive reinforcement,
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:10
			and to reassure the prophet salallahu alaihi wa
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:11
			sallam and strengthen his resolve.
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:14
			Because now the Meccan mocked him to the
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:16
			point where he started second guessing himself.
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:19
			Not Allah but himself. Was I not good
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:21
			enough? Did I not do a good job?
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:22
			So Allah wanted to
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:23
			re energize,
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:25
			reassure
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:27
			the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Salam. And then
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:29
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:30
			uses a
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:33
			Duha. So what's with Duha?
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:35
			They said that's when
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:37
			light comes up and
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:39
			light spreads.
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:53
			It's the brightest day. And you Muhammad
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:56
			and whatever is coming to you, this revelation,
		
00:40:56 --> 00:40:57
			you are that.
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:00
			You signify that.
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:02
			You and the guidance you're bringing is going
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:04
			to be the light that is going to
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:05
			dismantle
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:07
			the darkness
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:09
			of of misguidance.
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:11
			Now,
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:14
			they said also because that period
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:15
			carries a very
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:16
			significant
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:20
			value
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:22
			in the history
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:28
			history of the struggle between
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:31
			guidance and misguidance,
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:33
			between light and darkness.
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:35
			And they said
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:38
			Musa alaihis salam in Egypt, when
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:41
			he was challenged by the magicians in the
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:42
			in Firaun,
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:45
			Musa said to them,
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:53
			So Musa said to them, no the best
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:56
			time, okay, our appointment is the Umazin at
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:57
			the day of the festival,
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:01
			and bring people up. Because we want people
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:04
			to see clearly. We bring people up at
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:06
			that time, the duha time,
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:07
			so they can see clearly.
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:11
			They said that's the hour of the day
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:13
			when Allah Wa Ta'ala gave victory to Musa
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:16
			alaihi salam over the Kuffar and defeated
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:17
			Sahlah,
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:18
			the magicians.
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:20
			So there is no ambiguity there is no
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:21
			doubt about
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:24
			it. That that's also that appeals also to
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:26
			be the hour when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:29
			saved Musa and Banu Israeel and destroyed Fir'awn,
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:32
			Right? Perhaps that's also the hour when many
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:34
			great things, great victories,
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:35
			and breakthroughs happen.
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:38
			And as if he's saying this this time
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:40
			carries a special
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:42
			importance and significance
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:44
			even in you in the future of your
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:46
			dawah and your Ummah, O Muhammad.
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:48
			This is why it's one of the most
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:50
			blessed hours of the day.
		
00:42:50 --> 00:42:52
			And the prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam says,
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:53
			Barakallahu li ummatifibukuriha.
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:56
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:42:57 --> 00:42:59
			blessed the early hours of the day for
		
00:42:59 --> 00:43:00
			my Ummah.
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:02
			Even modern day,
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:04
			you know,
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:07
			experts and
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:10
			lead figures in the time in life managements
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:11
			and success,
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:13
			they say they they call them the golden
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:14
			hours.
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:16
			It's part of that the golden hours.
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:19
			It is also the time when
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:21
			victory came later on for the Muslims.
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:23
			In Badr, it was that time.
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:27
			Adithan, you know, normally
		
00:43:27 --> 00:43:30
			when victory or breakthrough or Fath comes it's
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:32
			that time of the day.
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:33
			No.
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:35
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:37
			Ta'ala says,
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:42
			Then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives us a
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:42
			contrast.
		
00:43:44 --> 00:43:45
			Now daytime
		
00:43:46 --> 00:43:48
			or the brightness of duha was was used
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:51
			for the Qasem, and then Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:52
			Ta'ala says, walayliida
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:52
			sajal.
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:53
			Also
		
00:43:54 --> 00:43:55
			by the night
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:56
			when
		
00:43:57 --> 00:43:58
			it Now this
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:00
			particular
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:01
			Qasem
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:03
			is not by just the object or the
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:04
			element of the night, no.
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:07
			The element of the night,
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:10
			in,
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:13
			when it's when it's when it's
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:15
			when it's going through a particular,
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:17
			you know, transition.
		
00:44:19 --> 00:44:19
			And
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:22
			the night when it
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:25
			sajjad. So what does sajjad mean? Sajjad has
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:25
			three meanings.
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:28
			Obviously again translations
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:30
			focus usually on what?
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:33
			One particular meaning because you cannot possibly
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:35
			have all the meanings,
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:38
			you know mentioned. That is why, you know,
		
00:44:39 --> 00:44:42
			majalis or gatherings of Tafakkur and Tidabur are
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:45
			good because you you get to reflect and
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:46
			ponder and consider
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:47
			these other,
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:49
			you know, fine
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:50
			meanings,
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:55
			that usually are forgotten or dropped or lost
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:56
			in the translation.
		
00:44:57 --> 00:44:57
			So
		
00:44:58 --> 00:44:59
			means
		
00:44:59 --> 00:45:00
			3 things
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:01
			according
		
00:45:02 --> 00:45:03
			at least 3 things.
		
00:45:04 --> 00:45:05
			It means
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:06
			to
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:07
			settle.
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:09
			To settle.
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:11
			Right?
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:14
			And
		
00:45:18 --> 00:45:20
			and when the when the night settles,
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:22
			that means it's what?
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:26
			No. No. What what does the night settle
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:28
			you know, settling mean? I mean this this
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:29
			may not be
		
00:45:30 --> 00:45:31
			by the way, this may not be fully
		
00:45:31 --> 00:45:34
			appreciated nowadays because we have artificial light and
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:35
			stuff like that. But if you go to
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:38
			rural areas or you go to, you know,
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:41
			some countries where people are still living according
		
00:45:41 --> 00:45:43
			to the primitive ways. I remember one time
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:45
			we went for for for
		
00:45:45 --> 00:45:46
			for Dawah
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:49
			in a very remote area where they had
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:49
			no electricity.
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:52
			You know when after Maghrib?
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:54
			After Maghrib,
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:55
			gradually
		
00:45:56 --> 00:45:59
			things settle down. Everyone calms down. There is
		
00:45:59 --> 00:45:59
			sukoon.
		
00:46:00 --> 00:46:01
			There is settlement. There is sukoon.
		
00:46:03 --> 00:46:06
			And khalas. It's complete darkness. You start hearing
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:08
			the crickets and stuff like that, and everyone
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:10
			is calm. Everyone is quiet.
		
00:46:11 --> 00:46:13
			And that the darker it gets, the more
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:15
			the more quiet people become, and eventually people
		
00:46:15 --> 00:46:16
			fall asleep.
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:20
			And obviously, doctor Damani, you can, you know,
		
00:46:20 --> 00:46:22
			weigh in on this one. That is a
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:24
			healthy practice for people to do that.
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:25
			Right? For their,
		
00:46:26 --> 00:46:29
			you know, for their biological well-being and all
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:30
			of that. I mean that's that's the best
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:32
			That's how Allah Subhaqqai Wa Ta'ala created us.
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:34
			What did we do? No. Because we need
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:36
			to make more money, we need to work
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:38
			overnight, and because we need, you know we
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:41
			created not only just artificial light to study
		
00:46:41 --> 00:46:42
			and read, but
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:45
			to to stay up all night. Some people
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:47
			some people actually
		
00:46:47 --> 00:46:49
			become more active at night.
		
00:46:49 --> 00:46:50
			Yeah.
		
00:46:50 --> 00:46:52
			Their their whole
		
00:46:52 --> 00:46:54
			There are There's an entire industry. There are
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:55
			industries
		
00:46:56 --> 00:46:56
			that actually
		
00:46:57 --> 00:46:57
			thrive
		
00:46:58 --> 00:46:59
			during the night.
		
00:46:59 --> 00:47:01
			And by the way, of these industries
		
00:47:02 --> 00:47:03
			is the most
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:05
			evil, dark,
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:08
			partners
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:11
			who occupy this planet with us known as
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:12
			djinn and shaalti.
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:16
			Night time is supposed to be a time
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:18
			where human beings and abilities settle and, you
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:19
			know,
		
00:47:20 --> 00:47:23
			rest and they they they find, you know.
		
00:47:24 --> 00:47:26
			And Shai'atil and the jinn,
		
00:47:26 --> 00:47:27
			rice.
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:30
			Right? Even by the way, there are certain
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:32
			animals that just rest at night, and there
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:33
			are other animals that
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:35
			get up at night. Right?
		
00:47:36 --> 00:47:38
			But human beings are supposed to settle at
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:40
			night, but, you know And that is why
		
00:47:40 --> 00:47:42
			by the way, Nabi salallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:47:43 --> 00:47:44
			told us, told families
		
00:47:45 --> 00:47:47
			that when the sun sets
		
00:47:47 --> 00:47:49
			One of the things I don't like And
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:51
			Sameer take a note of this. One of
		
00:47:51 --> 00:47:53
			the things I don't like at sunset
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:57
			and after sunset for an hour when kids
		
00:47:57 --> 00:47:59
			are running around all over the place and
		
00:47:59 --> 00:48:01
			playing and stuff like that. We're not supposed
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:04
			to do that. The walsiyyah, the sunnah, the
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:06
			practice is that when the sun sets in
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:08
			about an hour after the sunset,
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:09
			we should be indoors.
		
00:48:10 --> 00:48:13
			Especially children. The prophet said pull your children
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:14
			indoors
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:15
			and remain indoors.
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:17
			Right? Settle.
		
00:48:17 --> 00:48:19
			And then after that if you need to
		
00:48:19 --> 00:48:21
			do some activities and programs, that's
		
00:48:22 --> 00:48:22
			that's
		
00:48:22 --> 00:48:23
			that's okay.
		
00:48:24 --> 00:48:25
			So that's one meaning
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:29
			of sajyah, when the when the night settles.
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:30
			The
		
00:48:30 --> 00:48:32
			Oh, also they said
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:35
			when the night settles people also settle. So
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:37
			there is sukoon. The night itself
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:40
			rests and settles,
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:43
			and people, human beings, it causes people to
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:46
			settle. Qalu wassukoonu layl wassukoonu
		
00:48:47 --> 00:48:47
			nas.
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:51
			So there is a a second meaning for
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:53
			it, which is an obvious meaning.
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:56
			And Sajah means Sajah Shey. Sajah Shey.
		
00:48:57 --> 00:48:58
			To cover.
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:01
			To cover.
		
00:49:05 --> 00:49:07
			When you take a blanket and you cover
		
00:49:07 --> 00:49:08
			yourself,
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:11
			this is in the Arabic language can be
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:11
			referred
		
00:49:12 --> 00:49:12
			to as Sajjad,
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:14
			like the person basically
		
00:49:14 --> 00:49:15
			covered himself.
		
00:49:17 --> 00:49:18
			So when the night covers
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:21
			Covers what? Covers everything.
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:27
			With with The third meaning is is they're
		
00:49:27 --> 00:49:28
			all connected is
		
00:49:29 --> 00:49:30
			when the darkness
		
00:49:30 --> 00:49:31
			intensifies.
		
00:49:32 --> 00:49:34
			The intensity of the When the when the
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:35
			night
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:36
			moves in,
		
00:49:38 --> 00:49:39
			settles,
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:41
			people settle,
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:43
			covers everything,
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:45
			and the darkness
		
00:49:46 --> 00:49:47
			becomes so intense.
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:49
			And they said this has been
		
00:49:49 --> 00:49:52
			this is part of the beautiful imageries that
		
00:49:52 --> 00:49:55
			we find in the Quran. The contrast duha
		
00:49:55 --> 00:49:57
			and then the opposite of it. In
		
00:49:58 --> 00:50:00
			the previous Surah Allah
		
00:50:01 --> 00:50:03
			says, when the night covers,
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:05
			and when the day
		
00:50:06 --> 00:50:10
			opens things up and becomes bright and exposes
		
00:50:10 --> 00:50:11
			things.
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:13
			Razi
		
00:50:14 --> 00:50:16
			says something very beautiful. He says, Suratul Layl
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:18
			which is a Surah in the in the
		
00:50:18 --> 00:50:20
			order of the Quran that comes before Surat
		
00:50:20 --> 00:50:20
			Al Bu'a
		
00:50:21 --> 00:50:22
			talks primarily about who?
		
00:50:25 --> 00:50:26
			About who?
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:28
			Abu Bakr.
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:32
			I mean we're not gonna cover it but
		
00:50:32 --> 00:50:34
			it talks about There is reference to Abu
		
00:50:34 --> 00:50:36
			Bakr in the Surah. They say They call
		
00:50:36 --> 00:50:37
			that Surah
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:39
			the Surah of Abu Bakr.
		
00:50:39 --> 00:50:41
			And Surah Al Duha is the Surah of
		
00:50:41 --> 00:50:41
			who?
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:44
			Muhammad salallahu alayhi wa sallam because he talks
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:45
			about the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:50:46 --> 00:50:48
			So So that he says so when you
		
00:50:48 --> 00:50:50
			go up from Surah Al Duha to Surah
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:52
			from Surah Al Lehi to Surah Al Duha
		
00:50:52 --> 00:50:54
			because the night, you know, he says you
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:56
			find Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam. If you
		
00:50:56 --> 00:50:57
			descend from Muhammad,
		
00:50:58 --> 00:51:00
			from the Surah of Muhammad that talks about
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:02
			Muhammad to the Surah that talks about then
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:03
			you find
		
00:51:03 --> 00:51:06
			They're always connected until the day of judgment.
		
00:51:09 --> 00:51:10
			No.
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:13
			And he and he said from the mercy
		
00:51:13 --> 00:51:14
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the 2
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:16
			Surah back to back, so that people understand
		
00:51:16 --> 00:51:18
			that what Abu Bakr was what?
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:21
			Following the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. And
		
00:51:21 --> 00:51:23
			they're connected, there is no separation between them.
		
00:51:25 --> 00:51:26
			Okay.
		
00:51:27 --> 00:51:27
			Now
		
00:51:28 --> 00:51:30
			scholars also refer They say,
		
00:51:32 --> 00:51:34
			This is a reminder or this is to
		
00:51:34 --> 00:51:36
			cheer the prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam up.
		
00:51:36 --> 00:51:38
			Because the prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam was
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:40
			down to begin with. He was feeling really,
		
00:51:41 --> 00:51:43
			you know, he he was he was sad,
		
00:51:43 --> 00:51:46
			he was in distress, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:51:46 --> 00:51:47
			so Allah azza wa jal. So it's it's
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:50
			appropriate that the Qasam begins with something that
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:52
			brightens, that cheers the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:51:52 --> 00:51:53
			sallam up.
		
00:51:55 --> 00:51:58
			Yes, Muhammad. You are the source of guidance
		
00:51:58 --> 00:52:00
			and light. You are the source of light
		
00:52:00 --> 00:52:02
			and brightness, and this message that is coming
		
00:52:02 --> 00:52:04
			to you is that, is the duha
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:07
			for this humanity. But you're still surrounded
		
00:52:08 --> 00:52:08
			by what?
		
00:52:09 --> 00:52:10
			Lots of darkness
		
00:52:11 --> 00:52:12
			around you.
		
00:52:15 --> 00:52:17
			Some scholars also said, no actually,
		
00:52:17 --> 00:52:19
			Walayli is because
		
00:52:20 --> 00:52:22
			the daytime is a time for the prophet
		
00:52:22 --> 00:52:25
			alaihi wasallam and for his dua to spread
		
00:52:26 --> 00:52:28
			and touch people's hearts,
		
00:52:29 --> 00:52:31
			and transform and bring people to the light
		
00:52:31 --> 00:52:33
			of Islam, and combat
		
00:52:33 --> 00:52:35
			the darkness of Kufr.
		
00:52:36 --> 00:52:38
			But night time is also a time for
		
00:52:38 --> 00:52:39
			him to what?
		
00:52:41 --> 00:52:42
			To settle,
		
00:52:42 --> 00:52:45
			to rest, and to engage with his Lord
		
00:52:45 --> 00:52:46
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:52:47 --> 00:52:51
			Because shortly after this Surat Al Muzammil comes.
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:55
			No. Night you see, he is his work
		
00:52:55 --> 00:52:56
			and they said
		
00:52:57 --> 00:52:58
			the day and the and the night are
		
00:52:58 --> 00:53:01
			mentioned just to refer to the 24 hour
		
00:53:01 --> 00:53:03
			cycle, that your work and Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:53:03 --> 00:53:07
			ta'ala's care for you, Allah's guidance, Allah's protection
		
00:53:08 --> 00:53:09
			for you, is with you 247.
		
00:53:10 --> 00:53:12
			During during the duha, and even in the
		
00:53:12 --> 00:53:15
			darkness in the darkest of hours, we'll be
		
00:53:15 --> 00:53:16
			with you.
		
00:53:16 --> 00:53:19
			And in these dark hours you will get
		
00:53:19 --> 00:53:21
			up and you will stand before Allah Subhanahu
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:25
			Wa Ta'ala. And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:53:29 --> 00:53:31
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says to him, Joab
		
00:53:31 --> 00:53:32
			al Qasam
		
00:53:32 --> 00:53:33
			is
		
00:53:38 --> 00:53:39
			Your Lord
		
00:53:40 --> 00:53:41
			has not
		
00:53:42 --> 00:53:43
			forsaken you.
		
00:53:44 --> 00:53:46
			And again, I'm just using any
		
00:53:48 --> 00:53:48
			rough translation,
		
00:53:50 --> 00:53:52
			or just very basic translation.
		
00:53:52 --> 00:53:55
			Waddaa' is much deeper than just,
		
00:53:55 --> 00:53:57
			forsaken or abandoned,
		
00:53:58 --> 00:54:00
			and we'll discuss that insha'Allah ta'ala. So Allah
		
00:54:00 --> 00:54:02
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in the Joab of the
		
00:54:02 --> 00:54:03
			Qasem, Allah says,
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:07
			not
		
00:54:07 --> 00:54:08
			this is a negation.
		
00:54:09 --> 00:54:11
			Right? You can negate by saying la.
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:16
			There are many ways. In this particular context
		
00:54:16 --> 00:54:18
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala uses the
		
00:54:19 --> 00:54:20
			Ma'am, which comes,
		
00:54:20 --> 00:54:22
			you know, to to imply
		
00:54:23 --> 00:54:23
			that,
		
00:54:24 --> 00:54:27
			hey, there is a misconception, there is a
		
00:54:27 --> 00:54:27
			misunderstanding,
		
00:54:28 --> 00:54:29
			there is
		
00:54:29 --> 00:54:32
			there's a wrong notion that has
		
00:54:33 --> 00:54:35
			been spreading around you, don't respond to you,
		
00:54:35 --> 00:54:36
			that's not true.
		
00:54:37 --> 00:54:39
			It's one of the most powerful ways to
		
00:54:39 --> 00:54:40
			negate something,
		
00:54:40 --> 00:54:42
			once and for all, forever.
		
00:54:42 --> 00:54:42
			Mawadaka.
		
00:54:43 --> 00:54:45
			And it's something that will never happen.
		
00:54:46 --> 00:54:48
			It's not something that didn't happen, no, it's
		
00:54:48 --> 00:54:49
			something that would never happen.
		
00:54:53 --> 00:54:53
			Is
		
00:54:54 --> 00:54:55
			to
		
00:54:58 --> 00:55:00
			forsaken or to part ways with someone.
		
00:55:01 --> 00:55:01
			But
		
00:55:04 --> 00:55:06
			in a permanent fashion.
		
00:55:06 --> 00:55:08
			So it's a permanent departure
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:10
			from a place or from a relationship
		
00:55:11 --> 00:55:12
			or from
		
00:55:12 --> 00:55:13
			from a space.
		
00:55:14 --> 00:55:15
			Wawe?
		
00:55:16 --> 00:55:17
			Wada.
		
00:55:17 --> 00:55:18
			You say it there. However
		
00:55:18 --> 00:55:20
			wada' is Alwadha
		
00:55:20 --> 00:55:22
			Ubayinal Mut habin.
		
00:55:23 --> 00:55:24
			Wada'a
		
00:55:25 --> 00:55:27
			usually is between people who have a bond,
		
00:55:27 --> 00:55:29
			strong bond and have love for one another.
		
00:55:30 --> 00:55:31
			Mawad daaka.
		
00:55:32 --> 00:55:35
			And and and Allah Aja'u specifically says to
		
00:55:35 --> 00:55:36
			him, Mawad Da'aka,
		
00:55:37 --> 00:55:39
			you Muhammad, there is here what?
		
00:55:40 --> 00:55:42
			This what is lamir, daktazaman?
		
00:55:42 --> 00:55:43
			Lamir.
		
00:55:43 --> 00:55:44
			Lamir, kaf.
		
00:55:45 --> 00:55:47
			What is lamir in in grammar? What what
		
00:55:47 --> 00:55:48
			do they call it?
		
00:55:50 --> 00:55:52
			Allah is speaking to the Prophet in what?
		
00:55:52 --> 00:55:53
			In the
		
00:55:56 --> 00:55:57
			Second.
		
00:55:57 --> 00:56:00
			2nd person, right? Oh wait, 2nd person. So
		
00:56:00 --> 00:56:01
			the calf is what?
		
00:56:08 --> 00:56:08
			Pronoun?
		
00:56:09 --> 00:56:10
			Taweeb.
		
00:56:10 --> 00:56:11
			Pronoun.
		
00:56:11 --> 00:56:12
			Taweeb. So
		
00:56:12 --> 00:56:14
			in English to use, to use a word
		
00:56:14 --> 00:56:16
			to When you're talking to someone, what do
		
00:56:16 --> 00:56:17
			you, what do you
		
00:56:18 --> 00:56:20
			How do you refer to it? Your, Lord.
		
00:56:20 --> 00:56:21
			Right? So your Lord.
		
00:56:22 --> 00:56:25
			So Allah says, Your Lord, O Muhammad, has
		
00:56:25 --> 00:56:25
			not
		
00:56:27 --> 00:56:29
			depart had not departed, forsaken
		
00:56:30 --> 00:56:31
			or abandoned you,
		
00:56:32 --> 00:56:32
			O Muhammad.
		
00:56:33 --> 00:56:35
			You are not abandoned by your Lord.
		
00:56:35 --> 00:56:36
			You are not
		
00:56:36 --> 00:56:38
			abandoned by your Lord.
		
00:56:38 --> 00:56:39
			Rabbuka. Wamaaqala
		
00:56:40 --> 00:56:41
			nor
		
00:56:42 --> 00:56:43
			has He
		
00:56:44 --> 00:56:45
			done qalaqila is
		
00:56:46 --> 00:56:47
			to
		
00:56:49 --> 00:56:49
			disassociate
		
00:56:51 --> 00:56:54
			yourself or to cut yourself off from someone
		
00:56:55 --> 00:56:57
			that you have
		
00:56:57 --> 00:56:58
			something against.
		
00:56:59 --> 00:57:01
			Alkila yaqoonu bayinal mutanafi'i.
		
00:57:04 --> 00:57:04
			Right?
		
00:57:04 --> 00:57:06
			So the pro so Allah Azza wa Jal
		
00:57:06 --> 00:57:08
			because they came and they said that to
		
00:57:08 --> 00:57:10
			him. Jameel she said to him, your lord
		
00:57:10 --> 00:57:13
			or shaitaanuka she said they the the devil
		
00:57:13 --> 00:57:15
			referring to Jibril that used to come to
		
00:57:15 --> 00:57:18
			you has finally forsaken you
		
00:57:19 --> 00:57:21
			and said goodbye to you permanently,
		
00:57:21 --> 00:57:24
			once for all. So Allah responded to them,
		
00:57:25 --> 00:57:25
			Mawadaqa,
		
00:57:26 --> 00:57:27
			your lord has not
		
00:57:28 --> 00:57:29
			departed or has not
		
00:57:29 --> 00:57:30
			abandoned
		
00:57:30 --> 00:57:31
			you
		
00:57:32 --> 00:57:33
			nor has
		
00:57:33 --> 00:57:34
			he
		
00:57:34 --> 00:57:37
			dis you know, dis displeased or
		
00:57:37 --> 00:57:38
			has he,
		
00:57:40 --> 00:57:40
			you know,
		
00:57:41 --> 00:57:42
			what's that? Detest
		
00:57:43 --> 00:57:45
			or rejected or resent you?
		
00:57:46 --> 00:57:47
			Now
		
00:57:47 --> 00:57:49
			in when Allah mentions
		
00:57:49 --> 00:57:51
			Filah, Allah doesn't say you.
		
00:57:58 --> 00:58:00
			No. Allah did not say, Wamaqalaq.
		
00:58:09 --> 00:58:11
			Then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
		
00:58:12 --> 00:58:13
			and he did not
		
00:58:14 --> 00:58:14
			qala.
		
00:58:15 --> 00:58:15
			He didn't
		
00:58:16 --> 00:58:18
			And the scholars I tell you and you
		
00:58:18 --> 00:58:20
			can write pages and pages in terms of
		
00:58:20 --> 00:58:23
			why the scholars the scholars said Allah subhanahu
		
00:58:23 --> 00:58:24
			wa ta'ala did not
		
00:58:25 --> 00:58:26
			specify. He did not put the pronoun
		
00:58:27 --> 00:58:27
			kaf.
		
00:58:28 --> 00:58:29
			Then it's alhamdulillah.
		
00:58:31 --> 00:58:32
			No. No. It will. It can work.
		
00:58:35 --> 00:58:36
			It would have been fine.
		
00:58:37 --> 00:58:40
			Some scholars said, well it's because so that
		
00:58:40 --> 00:58:42
			the verses will be succinct.
		
00:58:47 --> 00:58:48
			So that it will, like, any rhyme.
		
00:58:51 --> 00:58:53
			But Allah subhanahu wa'ala doesn't do things just
		
00:58:53 --> 00:58:54
			for that.
		
00:58:55 --> 00:58:57
			Then you find the scholars saying, no there's
		
00:58:57 --> 00:58:58
			great meanings here,
		
00:58:59 --> 00:59:00
			amazing meanings.
		
00:59:01 --> 00:59:02
			What this means
		
00:59:02 --> 00:59:04
			is Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:59:04 --> 00:59:06
			first of all one of the most beautiful
		
00:59:06 --> 00:59:08
			insights you'll find,
		
00:59:09 --> 00:59:11
			there's an author of a beautiful book about
		
00:59:11 --> 00:59:12
			Bayan al Quran,
		
00:59:14 --> 00:59:15
			doctor
		
00:59:17 --> 00:59:18
			doctor Fadil Samarahi,
		
00:59:20 --> 00:59:23
			a great an amazing great scholar. He said
		
00:59:23 --> 00:59:24
			this is from
		
00:59:24 --> 00:59:26
			the Allah subhanahu
		
00:59:26 --> 00:59:29
			wanted to honor the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:59:29 --> 00:59:30
			sallam.
		
00:59:31 --> 00:59:33
			To honor the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:59:34 --> 00:59:37
			So he he says to him, Your lord
		
00:59:37 --> 00:59:38
			has not forsake
		
00:59:38 --> 00:59:41
			Your lord has not departed from you. Wadah.
		
00:59:41 --> 00:59:42
			Because Wadah is between
		
00:59:43 --> 00:59:44
			baynal mutahabbi.
		
00:59:44 --> 00:59:47
			But when he mentions pilah, which is usually
		
00:59:47 --> 00:59:49
			between people who have some some disagreement,
		
00:59:51 --> 00:59:52
			Allah didn't
		
00:59:54 --> 00:59:56
			didn't mention the kaf, the the dameer.
		
01:00:01 --> 01:00:03
			Let's say you say to me, oh, did
		
01:00:03 --> 01:00:04
			you forget me?
		
01:00:06 --> 01:00:08
			And if you're someone that I shouldn't be
		
01:00:08 --> 01:00:08
			forgetting
		
01:00:08 --> 01:00:10
			and I want to be Yani, I'll say,
		
01:00:11 --> 01:00:12
			I will never forget.
		
01:00:13 --> 01:00:14
			I'm not gonna say I will never forget
		
01:00:14 --> 01:00:14
			you,
		
01:00:15 --> 01:00:17
			I can't even say it. I wouldn't even
		
01:00:17 --> 01:00:19
			say it. Instead I will say, I will
		
01:00:19 --> 01:00:20
			never forget.
		
01:00:22 --> 01:00:25
			Which is more powerful? In classical Arabic,
		
01:00:26 --> 01:00:27
			the second one is very powerful.
		
01:00:29 --> 01:00:30
			I will never forget
		
01:00:31 --> 01:00:34
			forget you. I will never forget your memory.
		
01:00:34 --> 01:00:36
			I will never forget your value. I will
		
01:00:36 --> 01:00:39
			never forget so so it encompasses a wide
		
01:00:39 --> 01:00:40
			range of things.
		
01:00:40 --> 01:00:41
			Yeah. Fahiyaashmalwaam.
		
01:00:43 --> 01:00:45
			You get my my point?
		
01:00:45 --> 01:00:48
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, no. You're
		
01:00:48 --> 01:00:49
			not.
		
01:00:49 --> 01:00:50
			You're not detested.
		
01:00:51 --> 01:00:52
			You're not rejected.
		
01:00:53 --> 01:00:55
			But it doesn't say you are not.
		
01:00:56 --> 01:00:58
			Wanted to honor the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
01:01:00 --> 01:01:03
			Mawada Aqar Abu Qa Maqala. There is something
		
01:01:03 --> 01:01:04
			else that some scholars said.
		
01:01:08 --> 01:01:10
			One of the most beautiful insights is one
		
01:01:10 --> 01:01:12
			of the scholars said,
		
01:01:12 --> 01:01:15
			when Allah didn't when when Allah subhanahu wa
		
01:01:15 --> 01:01:16
			ta'ala did not,
		
01:01:16 --> 01:01:18
			you know, add the pronoun,
		
01:01:19 --> 01:01:21
			and he left it open,
		
01:01:22 --> 01:01:24
			that means it applies to the Prophet.
		
01:01:24 --> 01:01:26
			And it applies to everything
		
01:01:27 --> 01:01:29
			connected and associated with the Prophet.
		
01:01:30 --> 01:01:32
			And this is why they say this Surah
		
01:01:32 --> 01:01:35
			is relevant to every believer that follows
		
01:01:35 --> 01:01:36
			that believes,
		
01:01:36 --> 01:01:39
			follows, and loves prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa
		
01:01:39 --> 01:01:42
			sallam. And in it you're going to find
		
01:01:42 --> 01:01:44
			comfort, and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is consoling
		
01:01:44 --> 01:01:47
			not only Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, but
		
01:01:47 --> 01:01:49
			the family of Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
01:01:49 --> 01:01:52
			the companions of Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
01:01:52 --> 01:01:55
			the Ansar of Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
01:01:55 --> 01:01:58
			the you know, the followers of Muhammad sallallahu
		
01:01:58 --> 01:02:01
			alaihi wa sallam, the lovers of Muhammad, the
		
01:02:01 --> 01:02:04
			defenders of Muhammad, anyone who's associated with Muhammad,
		
01:02:04 --> 01:02:06
			this applies to all of
		
01:02:09 --> 01:02:11
			them. Allah will not forsaken you
		
01:02:11 --> 01:02:13
			or anyone that preserves
		
01:02:13 --> 01:02:16
			and and and keeps your memory alive.
		
01:02:20 --> 01:02:22
			They said if if you want Allah Subhanahu
		
01:02:22 --> 01:02:25
			Wa Ta'ala to love you, love Muhammad Sallallahu
		
01:02:25 --> 01:02:27
			Alaihi Wasallam, and do not abandon Muhammad Sallallahu
		
01:02:27 --> 01:02:30
			Alaihi Wasallam, and Allah will never abandon you.
		
01:02:30 --> 01:02:32
			And this is why scholars there are scholars.
		
01:02:32 --> 01:02:34
			I mean there is no any clear authentic
		
01:02:34 --> 01:02:37
			hadith, but scholars say if you are if
		
01:02:37 --> 01:02:39
			you're feeling down,
		
01:02:40 --> 01:02:42
			if you're if you're if you feel,
		
01:02:43 --> 01:02:45
			you know, if you're depressed,
		
01:02:45 --> 01:02:47
			if you feel hopeless,
		
01:02:47 --> 01:02:48
			recite the surah.
		
01:02:48 --> 01:02:51
			Remind yourself of this. Allah has not so
		
01:02:51 --> 01:02:54
			long you are holding on to the sunnah,
		
01:02:54 --> 01:02:56
			and the deen, and the memory, and the
		
01:02:56 --> 01:02:59
			honor of Muhammad salallahu alaihi wasallam. How could
		
01:02:59 --> 01:03:00
			you fall into this? And this is why
		
01:03:00 --> 01:03:02
			I believe it's one of the most relevant
		
01:03:02 --> 01:03:04
			surahs for our time right now.
		
01:03:04 --> 01:03:07
			Because Allah will not abandon those people
		
01:03:08 --> 01:03:10
			who are standing up for the Deen of
		
01:03:10 --> 01:03:12
			Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
01:03:13 --> 01:03:14
			The army of Muhammad
		
01:03:15 --> 01:03:17
			will not be defeated,
		
01:03:17 --> 01:03:19
			will not be forsaken, will not be let
		
01:03:19 --> 01:03:20
			down.
		
01:03:21 --> 01:03:23
			And we are living now in a time
		
01:03:23 --> 01:03:25
			where we see people who are preserving this
		
01:03:25 --> 01:03:27
			holding on to this, and Allah will not
		
01:03:27 --> 01:03:29
			forsaken them. If you wonder why they're still
		
01:03:29 --> 01:03:31
			standing their ground until this day
		
01:03:32 --> 01:03:34
			while all the powers in the world are
		
01:03:34 --> 01:03:36
			conspiring against them, you know that they are
		
01:03:36 --> 01:03:38
			they are people meant in the Surah.
		
01:03:40 --> 01:03:43
			There's even something more powerful to come
		
01:03:44 --> 01:03:46
			that reassures us
		
01:03:47 --> 01:03:48
			that
		
01:03:50 --> 01:03:52
			the people of the truth, that the believers,
		
01:03:53 --> 01:03:55
			that the followers of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa
		
01:03:55 --> 01:03:57
			sallam will not be defeated, will not be
		
01:03:57 --> 01:04:00
			annihilated. Uqsimu billahiil adi.
		
01:04:02 --> 01:04:04
			I have no doubt whatsoever.
		
01:04:05 --> 01:04:06
			They cannot be defeated.
		
01:04:07 --> 01:04:09
			They can be hurt, they can be killed
		
01:04:09 --> 01:04:10
			but they cannot be defeated.
		
01:04:13 --> 01:04:15
			What? Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in the following
		
01:04:15 --> 01:04:16
			ayah, Allah says, O
		
01:04:20 --> 01:04:21
			Muhammad,
		
01:04:21 --> 01:04:24
			in your case what is to come is
		
01:04:24 --> 01:04:26
			better than what has passed.
		
01:04:28 --> 01:04:31
			Don't be upset. Don't be depressed. Don't listen
		
01:04:31 --> 01:04:31
			to them.
		
01:04:32 --> 01:04:34
			Do not second guess yourself.
		
01:04:35 --> 01:04:35
			Laal
		
01:04:36 --> 01:04:36
			Akhira.
		
01:04:37 --> 01:04:40
			Akhira does not only mean Akhira, the hereafter.
		
01:04:40 --> 01:04:42
			No. No. Akhira means what is yet to
		
01:04:42 --> 01:04:42
			come.
		
01:04:45 --> 01:04:48
			The last chapter, the final chapter, the future.
		
01:04:49 --> 01:04:52
			Your future, the future of your Ummah. When
		
01:04:52 --> 01:04:53
			is Allah telling him this? When the prophet
		
01:04:53 --> 01:04:55
			shalallahu alaihi wa sallam is still being very
		
01:04:55 --> 01:04:56
			secretive
		
01:04:56 --> 01:04:57
			about his dawah.
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:03
			Allah is promising the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
01:05:03 --> 01:05:06
			sallam that what is yet to come is
		
01:05:06 --> 01:05:07
			better.
		
01:05:09 --> 01:05:10
			Don't don't let it, you know, get to
		
01:05:10 --> 01:05:13
			you. Lal akhirato, the hereafter,
		
01:05:13 --> 01:05:16
			the future, what is yet to come, the
		
01:05:16 --> 01:05:19
			your future, the future of your family, the
		
01:05:19 --> 01:05:21
			future of your ummah, the future of your
		
01:05:21 --> 01:05:24
			deen, and your community, and your sunnah is
		
01:05:24 --> 01:05:26
			greater and is better than what has passed.
		
01:05:29 --> 01:05:30
			It's better for you
		
01:05:31 --> 01:05:32
			from the first.
		
01:05:34 --> 01:05:36
			And ever since Allah said this to the
		
01:05:36 --> 01:05:38
			prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam, the prophet salallahu
		
01:05:38 --> 01:05:40
			alaihi wa sallam became what?
		
01:05:40 --> 01:05:43
			He's no longer fixated on anything around him.
		
01:05:43 --> 01:05:46
			The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam vision, the
		
01:05:46 --> 01:05:47
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's hope, the prophet
		
01:05:47 --> 01:05:49
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's
		
01:05:50 --> 01:05:53
			focus was became that of Aqirah.
		
01:05:53 --> 01:05:56
			And this was very important early on in
		
01:05:56 --> 01:05:58
			his dua salallahu alaihi wa sallam that he
		
01:05:58 --> 01:06:00
			becomes focused. And that is
		
01:06:00 --> 01:06:02
			why That is By the way from this
		
01:06:02 --> 01:06:02
			moment
		
01:06:03 --> 01:06:06
			on, when the Sahaba came to him, Khabab
		
01:06:06 --> 01:06:07
			al-'Arat came to him and said, You
		
01:06:09 --> 01:06:11
			His companions were being slaughtered.
		
01:06:12 --> 01:06:14
			We're being killed. We're being tortured.
		
01:06:14 --> 01:06:15
			Yeah.
		
01:06:16 --> 01:06:18
			And and there's nothing more painful than seeing
		
01:06:18 --> 01:06:20
			your own companions
		
01:06:20 --> 01:06:22
			who are being tortured. And the only reason
		
01:06:22 --> 01:06:25
			they're being tortured is because they chose to
		
01:06:25 --> 01:06:27
			follow you. And the prophet salallahu alaihi wa
		
01:06:27 --> 01:06:29
			sallam would say in one particular case,
		
01:06:32 --> 01:06:34
			I promise you our our appointment,
		
01:06:35 --> 01:06:36
			our meeting,
		
01:06:38 --> 01:06:39
			the promise is Jannah.
		
01:06:40 --> 01:06:42
			Yani, the prophet was saying goodbye to them.
		
01:06:42 --> 01:06:44
			He knew they were not going to be
		
01:06:44 --> 01:06:45
			able to survive it.
		
01:06:45 --> 01:06:46
			Yani,
		
01:06:46 --> 01:06:48
			the the the parents. Ammar
		
01:06:48 --> 01:06:50
			Ammar did survive.
		
01:06:50 --> 01:06:52
			And the prophet said he was alive, told
		
01:06:52 --> 01:06:54
			the Sahaba he's going to live until the
		
01:06:54 --> 01:06:56
			time where Taqduluhulfi atulbaghi.
		
01:07:00 --> 01:07:03
			But the prophet gives him and his parents
		
01:07:03 --> 01:07:03
			the promise.
		
01:07:08 --> 01:07:09
			Bilal
		
01:07:10 --> 01:07:12
			and the companions, Suhaib, they came to the
		
01:07:12 --> 01:07:14
			prophet, Masjid of Allah make du'a for us,
		
01:07:14 --> 01:07:15
			ala. And the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
01:07:15 --> 01:07:17
			told them don't be too hasty.
		
01:07:18 --> 01:07:19
			A time will come.
		
01:07:20 --> 01:07:23
			Allah has promised me a time will come.
		
01:07:23 --> 01:07:26
			It's very close. Don't worry. 10 years, 20
		
01:07:26 --> 01:07:26
			years,
		
01:07:27 --> 01:07:28
			you know, you may think that it's when
		
01:07:28 --> 01:07:30
			is, when is it, when is it gonna
		
01:07:30 --> 01:07:32
			happen? It will happen. A time will come
		
01:07:33 --> 01:07:33
			where
		
01:07:35 --> 01:07:36
			you will be able to or a woman
		
01:07:36 --> 01:07:38
			will be able to travel from Sam'a,
		
01:07:39 --> 01:07:42
			from from the capital of Yemen all the
		
01:07:42 --> 01:07:43
			way to Halghormot, or all the way to
		
01:07:43 --> 01:07:46
			the northern parts of the Arabian Peninsula
		
01:07:46 --> 01:07:49
			without fearing anyone under the safety,
		
01:07:49 --> 01:07:51
			the protection, and the rule of Islam.
		
01:07:52 --> 01:07:53
			This was unimaginable
		
01:07:54 --> 01:07:56
			back then. It was unfathomable.
		
01:07:56 --> 01:07:57
			But
		
01:07:58 --> 01:07:59
			the prophet promised.
		
01:08:03 --> 01:08:03
			He knew
		
01:08:04 --> 01:08:06
			that the future will be always better, that
		
01:08:06 --> 01:08:07
			they will be fixed. Yes?
		
01:08:10 --> 01:08:12
			The best is yes, yet to come. So
		
01:08:12 --> 01:08:13
			can you get me water?
		
01:08:17 --> 01:08:17
			Sorry.
		
01:08:17 --> 01:08:19
			By by the way this is consistent in
		
01:08:19 --> 01:08:22
			Islam. For the believers by the way,
		
01:08:22 --> 01:08:23
			for the believers,
		
01:08:24 --> 01:08:26
			what is yet to come is always better
		
01:08:26 --> 01:08:28
			until we what?
		
01:08:28 --> 01:08:31
			Enter Jannah. And even after the believers Allahumujana
		
01:08:31 --> 01:08:34
			minaha jannah. After the believers enter Jannah,
		
01:08:34 --> 01:08:37
			the believers think that they have gotten what?
		
01:08:38 --> 01:08:40
			Khalaf's everything. There's nothing better than this. There
		
01:08:40 --> 01:08:41
			is nothing that tops this.
		
01:08:42 --> 01:08:42
			Allah
		
01:08:43 --> 01:08:45
			tells them I'll give you something better.
		
01:08:46 --> 01:08:47
			His Rudwan.
		
01:08:57 --> 01:08:59
			And there is nothing that tops that. Khalaf.
		
01:08:59 --> 01:09:00
			That's it.
		
01:09:01 --> 01:09:02
			And and that pleasure
		
01:09:03 --> 01:09:05
			is unlike any other pleasure
		
01:09:06 --> 01:09:07
			because it's
		
01:09:08 --> 01:09:10
			there is no limit to it.
		
01:09:11 --> 01:09:13
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, there is no there
		
01:09:13 --> 01:09:15
			is no limit to his
		
01:09:16 --> 01:09:18
			to his majesty. There is no limit to
		
01:09:18 --> 01:09:19
			his
		
01:09:19 --> 01:09:21
			There is no limit to his ability. There
		
01:09:21 --> 01:09:22
			is no limit to his power. There is
		
01:09:22 --> 01:09:25
			no limit to his Rahmah. Likewise there is
		
01:09:25 --> 01:09:26
			no limit to the what?
		
01:09:27 --> 01:09:30
			To experiencing or to seeing him.
		
01:09:33 --> 01:09:36
			So that experience is unlike any other experience.
		
01:09:36 --> 01:09:38
			It's an experience that is limitless.
		
01:09:42 --> 01:09:44
			And for the believer will never be the
		
01:09:44 --> 01:09:45
			same after that.
		
01:09:48 --> 01:09:49
			It's unlike anything.
		
01:09:51 --> 01:09:52
			So
		
01:09:55 --> 01:09:57
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam always used
		
01:09:57 --> 01:09:58
			to entice his companions.
		
01:09:59 --> 01:09:59
			He
		
01:10:01 --> 01:10:03
			used to entice them and remind them of
		
01:10:03 --> 01:10:03
			what?
		
01:10:04 --> 01:10:04
			Aqira.
		
01:10:05 --> 01:10:07
			That you have something better in Aqira.
		
01:10:08 --> 01:10:11
			And in any struggle, in any loss, in
		
01:10:11 --> 01:10:13
			any hardship that you go through, remember
		
01:10:14 --> 01:10:16
			Akhirah. Allahummainil Aishah
		
01:10:16 --> 01:10:18
			Aishul Akhirah. Oh Allah the true living is
		
01:10:18 --> 01:10:20
			the living of Akhirah. That's what the Sahaba
		
01:10:20 --> 01:10:22
			used to say. They were hungry, they were
		
01:10:22 --> 01:10:24
			starving, they were digging the the trench, and
		
01:10:24 --> 01:10:26
			they were saying and they were about to
		
01:10:26 --> 01:10:27
			be besieged
		
01:10:27 --> 01:10:30
			by the the largest army that they had
		
01:10:30 --> 01:10:31
			ever seen in Madinah.
		
01:10:32 --> 01:10:33
			And their chanting was
		
01:10:35 --> 01:10:36
			with the prophet,
		
01:10:37 --> 01:10:40
			Aqrafila Ansaril Majan. Oh Allah the true life
		
01:10:40 --> 01:10:41
			is the life of Aqir.
		
01:10:44 --> 01:10:46
			And when the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
01:10:46 --> 01:10:48
			anyone came to him was was basically struggling
		
01:10:48 --> 01:10:51
			or was was was having a conflict, an
		
01:10:51 --> 01:10:53
			internal conflict about doing the right thing, or
		
01:10:53 --> 01:10:55
			about doing something that is good, and they're
		
01:10:55 --> 01:10:58
			like you know the prophet would promise them,
		
01:10:58 --> 01:11:00
			you'll get something better for it in Jannah.
		
01:11:01 --> 01:11:02
			Give it up in this life,
		
01:11:02 --> 01:11:04
			do the right thing in this life, and
		
01:11:04 --> 01:11:06
			Allah will give you something better in this
		
01:11:06 --> 01:11:08
			life and in the hereafter. And and or
		
01:11:08 --> 01:11:10
			in the hereafter, for sure.
		
01:11:13 --> 01:11:14
			Always.
		
01:11:15 --> 01:11:16
			You know sometimes people
		
01:11:17 --> 01:11:19
			It's human By the way human nature
		
01:11:20 --> 01:11:22
			is to love
		
01:11:23 --> 01:11:24
			You
		
01:11:24 --> 01:11:25
			love this
		
01:11:25 --> 01:11:26
			this world,
		
01:11:27 --> 01:11:30
			and you abandon and you forget about Aqira.
		
01:11:31 --> 01:11:32
			And by the way especially
		
01:11:32 --> 01:11:35
			especially males are more prone to that
		
01:11:36 --> 01:11:36
			than females.
		
01:11:39 --> 01:11:41
			Yeah. And according to some studies,
		
01:11:44 --> 01:11:45
			you you know the donuts the donut,
		
01:11:47 --> 01:11:48
			the donut experiment?
		
01:11:49 --> 01:11:51
			You know, they brought a bunch of children.
		
01:11:51 --> 01:11:52
			They gave them doughnuts,
		
01:11:55 --> 01:11:55
			and
		
01:11:55 --> 01:11:58
			the failure amongst the boys was larger than
		
01:11:58 --> 01:11:59
			the girls by the way.
		
01:12:01 --> 01:12:03
			Right? So that, you know, and that is
		
01:12:03 --> 01:12:06
			why, you know, long term commitments are harder
		
01:12:06 --> 01:12:07
			for some some people.
		
01:12:11 --> 01:12:13
			So so basically the donut experiment was they
		
01:12:13 --> 01:12:15
			gave them donuts. They gave them donuts and
		
01:12:15 --> 01:12:18
			they said guard the donut, don't touch it,
		
01:12:18 --> 01:12:19
			don't eat it
		
01:12:19 --> 01:12:21
			until we come back.
		
01:12:21 --> 01:12:23
			We'll come back after 10 minutes or 15
		
01:12:23 --> 01:12:23
			minutes.
		
01:12:24 --> 01:12:26
			It's yours. You wanna eat it, you can
		
01:12:26 --> 01:12:28
			eat it. But if you wait until we
		
01:12:28 --> 01:12:30
			come back and you don't do anything alright.
		
01:12:31 --> 01:12:33
			We're going to what? Give you a second
		
01:12:33 --> 01:12:35
			one. We'll give you 2.
		
01:12:36 --> 01:12:38
			Zazaqallah here. Raith, araathakallaha.
		
01:12:42 --> 01:12:44
			So if you wait, what happened?
		
01:12:45 --> 01:12:46
			And by the way the the actually the
		
01:12:46 --> 01:12:48
			experiments, they they actually
		
01:12:49 --> 01:12:49
			proceeded
		
01:12:51 --> 01:12:53
			to follow-up with the subjects of this
		
01:12:54 --> 01:12:56
			to see to predict their future.
		
01:12:56 --> 01:12:58
			So the ones that obviously had more self
		
01:12:58 --> 01:13:01
			control and did not touch it, they they
		
01:13:02 --> 01:13:02
			you know,
		
01:13:03 --> 01:13:05
			in terms of their studies and their career,
		
01:13:06 --> 01:13:08
			they were much more successful than the ones
		
01:13:08 --> 01:13:10
			that couldn't couldn't couldn't control themselves,
		
01:13:11 --> 01:13:13
			right, Because they they had anyways a very
		
01:13:13 --> 01:13:16
			interesting experiment, you can read about it or
		
01:13:16 --> 01:13:16
			Google it, Insha'Allah.
		
01:13:19 --> 01:13:19
			Islam
		
01:13:20 --> 01:13:21
			and the Quranic message
		
01:13:22 --> 01:13:22
			wants
		
01:13:23 --> 01:13:24
			believers
		
01:13:24 --> 01:13:25
			to develop this ability.
		
01:13:27 --> 01:13:30
			Not be fixated on the moment. Do not,
		
01:13:31 --> 01:13:33
			do not be all about
		
01:13:33 --> 01:13:35
			this, you know, instant,
		
01:13:36 --> 01:13:38
			and immediate, and quick gratification.
		
01:13:39 --> 01:13:40
			Don't go after that.
		
01:13:41 --> 01:13:42
			It's it's intoxicating,
		
01:13:43 --> 01:13:44
			it's addictive,
		
01:13:44 --> 01:13:45
			and it's limiting.
		
01:13:47 --> 01:13:49
			And if your brain gets used to that,
		
01:13:49 --> 01:13:52
			right, anyone here, an expert in addiction, stuff
		
01:13:52 --> 01:13:54
			like that will tell you how bad that
		
01:13:54 --> 01:13:56
			is, and how that is a recipe for
		
01:13:56 --> 01:13:57
			disaster and failure.
		
01:14:00 --> 01:14:01
			To develop the ability
		
01:14:02 --> 01:14:05
			to work hard and to think of long
		
01:14:05 --> 01:14:06
			term consequences
		
01:14:07 --> 01:14:09
			that is better for the individual and better
		
01:14:09 --> 01:14:10
			for the society
		
01:14:10 --> 01:14:12
			and better for everyone.
		
01:14:13 --> 01:14:15
			Fa'allah Musaam. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
01:14:16 --> 01:14:17
			help us.
		
01:14:19 --> 01:14:20
			And no wonder,
		
01:14:20 --> 01:14:21
			you know, subhanallah.
		
01:14:22 --> 01:14:24
			One one of the consequences
		
01:14:24 --> 01:14:27
			of this is many of the, phenomena that
		
01:14:27 --> 01:14:29
			we see right now including
		
01:14:29 --> 01:14:30
			the destruction of the family,
		
01:14:31 --> 01:14:33
			you know, higher divorce rates,
		
01:14:34 --> 01:14:34
			you know,
		
01:14:35 --> 01:14:37
			and you name it. This is this is
		
01:14:38 --> 01:14:38
			not
		
01:14:39 --> 01:14:40
			not thinking of
		
01:14:42 --> 01:14:45
			or not developing the ability to just withstand
		
01:14:45 --> 01:14:48
			the pressures and the difficulties and the challenges
		
01:14:48 --> 01:14:49
			of the time being. Then
		
01:14:50 --> 01:14:53
			we will stop right here inshallahu ta'ala.
		
01:14:54 --> 01:14:56
			And this ayah, this coming ayah,
		
01:14:57 --> 01:14:57
			I
		
01:15:01 --> 01:15:02
			claim that this
		
01:15:04 --> 01:15:05
			ayah defies
		
01:15:08 --> 01:15:09
			the claims
		
01:15:09 --> 01:15:10
			of some
		
01:15:11 --> 01:15:12
			sects
		
01:15:13 --> 01:15:14
			that believe
		
01:15:15 --> 01:15:15
			the prophet
		
01:15:16 --> 01:15:17
			or the,
		
01:15:18 --> 01:15:19
			or the Ummah
		
01:15:20 --> 01:15:21
			or the Sahaba
		
01:15:21 --> 01:15:23
			or the family of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
01:15:23 --> 01:15:25
			wa sallam or the Muslims have failed.
		
01:15:28 --> 01:15:30
			And that we are, you know, we are
		
01:15:30 --> 01:15:34
			we are a failed Ummah, a failed community,
		
01:15:34 --> 01:15:35
			and that we are doomed.
		
01:15:36 --> 01:15:37
			This ayah says otherwise.
		
01:15:38 --> 01:15:40
			Not this ayah. The previous ayah,
		
01:15:42 --> 01:15:44
			and this ayah reinforces
		
01:15:45 --> 01:15:47
			that. If anyone comes and claims and says
		
01:15:47 --> 01:15:48
			Muslims are doomed
		
01:15:49 --> 01:15:51
			and after the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
01:15:51 --> 01:15:54
			look at us, we are just so pathetic.
		
01:15:55 --> 01:15:56
			And the Sahaba
		
01:15:56 --> 01:15:58
			Anyone. I don't care how large that sect
		
01:15:58 --> 01:16:01
			is or those people are or how intellectual
		
01:16:01 --> 01:16:03
			they may sound or even there are some
		
01:16:03 --> 01:16:05
			people from from within
		
01:16:05 --> 01:16:07
			the mainstream or
		
01:16:07 --> 01:16:09
			or, you know, of Islam
		
01:16:09 --> 01:16:10
			that
		
01:16:10 --> 01:16:12
			come and make these kind of claims, man.
		
01:16:13 --> 01:16:15
			The future is just worse. No. No. Never.
		
01:16:15 --> 01:16:16
			Why?
		
01:16:16 --> 01:16:18
			Because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said
		
01:16:24 --> 01:16:27
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says to the prophet,
		
01:16:27 --> 01:16:28
			walassofa
		
01:16:28 --> 01:16:29
			not wassofa, walassofa.
		
01:16:31 --> 01:16:35
			And indeed and very soon and surely, oh
		
01:16:35 --> 01:16:36
			Muhammad,
		
01:16:37 --> 01:16:40
			your Atika will give you Rabuka, your Lord,
		
01:16:40 --> 01:16:42
			your Lord will give you.
		
01:16:42 --> 01:16:44
			And it doesn't say will give you what?
		
01:16:45 --> 01:16:46
			Will give you everything.
		
01:16:48 --> 01:16:50
			Give giving is a transitive
		
01:16:51 --> 01:16:51
			verb.
		
01:17:00 --> 01:17:03
			Allah didn't say what what he will give
		
01:17:03 --> 01:17:04
			you give him.
		
01:17:04 --> 01:17:07
			Right? Allah says your Lord will give you
		
01:17:07 --> 01:17:09
			give you what? Everything.
		
01:17:11 --> 01:17:12
			Everything.
		
01:17:20 --> 01:17:22
			And you will be to your satisfaction, you
		
01:17:22 --> 01:17:24
			will be satisfied. You will be pleased.
		
01:17:25 --> 01:17:27
			So Allah Azzawajal
		
01:17:28 --> 01:17:28
			mentions,
		
01:17:29 --> 01:17:31
			doesn't say what it is that Allah will
		
01:17:31 --> 01:17:33
			give him, but Allah Allah mentions
		
01:17:33 --> 01:17:35
			the outcome of it. Or
		
01:17:37 --> 01:17:37
			you know
		
01:17:38 --> 01:17:40
			Or the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's
		
01:17:43 --> 01:17:44
			status or state.
		
01:17:45 --> 01:17:48
			So Allah will give you everything and anything
		
01:17:48 --> 01:17:49
			that will please you.
		
01:17:51 --> 01:17:53
			In in a hadith the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
01:17:53 --> 01:17:54
			wa sallam said
		
01:17:54 --> 01:17:57
			that Jibril came to him that Allah Azzawajal
		
01:17:57 --> 01:17:58
			says, oh Muhammad.
		
01:17:59 --> 01:18:00
			That the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was making
		
01:18:00 --> 01:18:01
			dua.
		
01:18:01 --> 01:18:04
			And Allah sent Jibril and said tell Muhammad
		
01:18:04 --> 01:18:06
			He doesn't have to worry about about anything.
		
01:18:10 --> 01:18:14
			We will surely we will surely satisfy you
		
01:18:14 --> 01:18:16
			and please you, oh Muhammad, with regards to
		
01:18:16 --> 01:18:18
			your Umma, and we will not
		
01:18:19 --> 01:18:21
			you you will not see anything
		
01:18:21 --> 01:18:25
			or experience or anything that will actually dissatisfy
		
01:18:25 --> 01:18:27
			you. Allah promised the prophet salallahu alaihi wa
		
01:18:27 --> 01:18:30
			sallam. The prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam begged
		
01:18:30 --> 01:18:33
			Allah Azzuja for his Umma. He begged him
		
01:18:33 --> 01:18:33
			for us
		
01:18:35 --> 01:18:38
			to spare us, not to destroy us, not
		
01:18:38 --> 01:18:40
			to annihilate us, to make us the the
		
01:18:40 --> 01:18:42
			largest, and the most thriving, and the most
		
01:18:42 --> 01:18:43
			prosperous,
		
01:18:44 --> 01:18:46
			and the greatest Ummah of all. And Allah
		
01:18:46 --> 01:18:47
			gave him that promise.
		
01:18:48 --> 01:18:50
			And I have never read anywhere
		
01:18:51 --> 01:18:54
			that Allah breaks his promise after he has
		
01:18:54 --> 01:18:56
			given it to someone, let alone to the
		
01:18:56 --> 01:18:58
			most beloved Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
01:19:00 --> 01:19:02
			So if anyone comes to you and tells
		
01:19:02 --> 01:19:04
			you this Ummah is doomed, tell him no
		
01:19:04 --> 01:19:05
			you're doomed.
		
01:19:06 --> 01:19:08
			The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, Anyone
		
01:19:12 --> 01:19:15
			that comes and claims that people are doomed,
		
01:19:16 --> 01:19:17
			then he is the most doomed. He is
		
01:19:17 --> 01:19:20
			the doomed person. Because the person basically is
		
01:19:20 --> 01:19:21
			projecting their own,
		
01:19:22 --> 01:19:25
			failure on other people. This Ummah is never
		
01:19:25 --> 01:19:27
			going to be Yes individuals may be replaced.
		
01:19:28 --> 01:19:28
			But
		
01:19:31 --> 01:19:33
			the Ummah as a whole will not be
		
01:19:33 --> 01:19:33
			defeated,
		
01:19:34 --> 01:19:35
			will not be annihilated,
		
01:19:36 --> 01:19:38
			will not be destroyed. Atahadda
		
01:19:38 --> 01:19:40
			I, I you know, I will actually give
		
01:19:40 --> 01:19:41
			up my life for it.
		
01:19:47 --> 01:19:49
			We are part of it if Okay. We
		
01:19:49 --> 01:19:51
			are part of it as long as we
		
01:19:51 --> 01:19:53
			are holding on to this.
		
01:19:53 --> 01:19:55
			You give up on this that you don't
		
01:19:55 --> 01:19:55
			want to be part of the ummah. The
		
01:19:55 --> 01:19:57
			ummah doesn't need you, Aslaniyani.
		
01:19:57 --> 01:19:59
			The ummah doesn't need you. So what? It's
		
01:19:59 --> 01:20:00
			your loss.
		
01:20:01 --> 01:20:03
			So anyone that comes and says,
		
01:20:03 --> 01:20:05
			anyone that comes and says the family of
		
01:20:05 --> 01:20:08
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam failed or
		
01:20:08 --> 01:20:09
			was failed,
		
01:20:10 --> 01:20:13
			After him salallahu alaihi wa sallam will say
		
01:20:13 --> 01:20:13
			no.
		
01:20:17 --> 01:20:20
			Allah says, Allah promised the prophet that he
		
01:20:20 --> 01:20:22
			will give him to his satisfaction. You think
		
01:20:22 --> 01:20:25
			failing the family of the prophet, or killing
		
01:20:25 --> 01:20:27
			his daughter or torturing his,
		
01:20:28 --> 01:20:29
			his his family
		
01:20:29 --> 01:20:31
			is something that will please the prophet?
		
01:20:32 --> 01:20:34
			Allah will allow that to happen?
		
01:20:35 --> 01:20:38
			You think the Sahaba would fail
		
01:20:38 --> 01:20:39
			collectively?
		
01:20:39 --> 01:20:40
			Collective failure?
		
01:20:41 --> 01:20:43
			You think that would please the Prophet sallallahu
		
01:20:43 --> 01:20:45
			alaihi wa sallam? Allah says, Allah will give
		
01:20:45 --> 01:20:46
			you to your satisfaction.
		
01:20:46 --> 01:20:49
			If you tell me that after his departure
		
01:20:49 --> 01:20:51
			somehow everyone failed,
		
01:20:52 --> 01:20:54
			then then you're really
		
01:20:55 --> 01:20:57
			you're saying this this verse doesn't apply. Allah
		
01:20:57 --> 01:20:59
			did not fulfill his promise.
		
01:21:01 --> 01:21:03
			And that is why this Umma Yes. There
		
01:21:03 --> 01:21:05
			will be times where the Umma declines. There
		
01:21:05 --> 01:21:08
			will be times where we will be We
		
01:21:08 --> 01:21:09
			will suffer the consequences
		
01:21:10 --> 01:21:12
			of our departure from the guidance of the
		
01:21:12 --> 01:21:13
			prophet
		
01:21:13 --> 01:21:16
			for our own good. Allah Azzawajal will let
		
01:21:16 --> 01:21:18
			us get a taste of our own failures
		
01:21:18 --> 01:21:20
			in this life, so that we would come
		
01:21:20 --> 01:21:23
			back to Allah Azzawajal. But eventually the Ummah
		
01:21:23 --> 01:21:23
			recovers.
		
01:21:25 --> 01:21:27
			Eventually the Ummah
		
01:21:28 --> 01:21:29
			rises again,
		
01:21:29 --> 01:21:31
			but it will never die.
		
01:21:31 --> 01:21:33
			It will never die.
		
01:21:33 --> 01:21:35
			You Jama'ah, you know, sometimes when when we
		
01:21:35 --> 01:21:36
			were, you know
		
01:21:38 --> 01:21:40
			you know my father, Rahimahullah,
		
01:21:40 --> 01:21:41
			radiAllahu an.
		
01:21:44 --> 01:21:46
			I noticed the last 3 years of his
		
01:21:46 --> 01:21:47
			life,
		
01:21:47 --> 01:21:49
			every time before salah he would raise his
		
01:21:49 --> 01:21:51
			hand and make du'a for the ummah.
		
01:21:52 --> 01:21:53
			And he came up with this du'a that
		
01:21:53 --> 01:21:56
			I had never heard from anyone except him.
		
01:21:56 --> 01:21:58
			Yeah. And he had the Qabbal Alikaam. Obviously
		
01:21:58 --> 01:22:00
			it's not a Sunnah. It's just something that
		
01:22:00 --> 01:22:03
			he did. He was someone deeply in tuned
		
01:22:03 --> 01:22:05
			with with with the Ummah.
		
01:22:06 --> 01:22:08
			And his own struggle in East Africa, and
		
01:22:08 --> 01:22:09
			in Harar and stuff like that, and then
		
01:22:09 --> 01:22:11
			Ummah. And I remember when I was young
		
01:22:11 --> 01:22:13
			my father will scream Allahu Akbar. And then
		
01:22:13 --> 01:22:15
			I'm running I'm like what? And he's like
		
01:22:15 --> 01:22:16
			the Afghans
		
01:22:17 --> 01:22:18
			took down
		
01:22:20 --> 01:22:23
			a a make like, a Russian Russian plane.
		
01:22:23 --> 01:22:24
			I was like, who are the Afghans? I'm
		
01:22:24 --> 01:22:25
			like, these people, they're Muslim.
		
01:22:26 --> 01:22:28
			I'm like, wow. They're like, who are they?
		
01:22:28 --> 01:22:31
			Freedom fighters. I was like, he was so
		
01:22:31 --> 01:22:33
			in tuned with the Ummah everywhere.
		
01:22:37 --> 01:22:38
			By the way to the point that he
		
01:22:38 --> 01:22:40
			actually was very sad and he mourned the
		
01:22:40 --> 01:22:43
			death of Jamal Abdul Nasr because he thought
		
01:22:46 --> 01:22:48
			in it. Yeah? Yeah.
		
01:22:50 --> 01:22:53
			So what happened is in 2000 after 2,000
		
01:22:53 --> 01:22:53
			2,003
		
01:22:54 --> 01:22:56
			and until his death, Rahimahullah,
		
01:22:56 --> 01:22:58
			he used to make this duaq and it
		
01:22:58 --> 01:23:00
			never registered. Why?
		
01:23:00 --> 01:23:03
			It turns out that because of what?
		
01:23:03 --> 01:23:05
			What happened to Iraq?
		
01:23:06 --> 01:23:08
			After the Iraq invasion, the destruction of Iraq,
		
01:23:08 --> 01:23:10
			my father was really distraught. He was really
		
01:23:10 --> 01:23:11
			sad.
		
01:23:11 --> 01:23:12
			He was
		
01:23:13 --> 01:23:16
			and every salah he used to make dua
		
01:23:16 --> 01:23:17
			out loud, raise his hand and make dua.
		
01:23:18 --> 01:23:19
			And he in his dua he will say,
		
01:23:19 --> 01:23:22
			oh Allah, the Ummah is is under siege,
		
01:23:22 --> 01:23:24
			the Ummah is you know, there are plots
		
01:23:24 --> 01:23:25
			against it. Oh, and he will make dua
		
01:23:25 --> 01:23:28
			for Philistine, he will make dua for you
		
01:23:28 --> 01:23:28
			know.
		
01:23:28 --> 01:23:29
			And I'm like,
		
01:23:30 --> 01:23:30
			wow.
		
01:23:31 --> 01:23:33
			So so that kind of just inspired me
		
01:23:33 --> 01:23:36
			to also remain, you know. And when SubhanAllah
		
01:23:36 --> 01:23:37
			when 2010
		
01:23:38 --> 01:23:40
			2011 came, and what happened in, you know
		
01:23:40 --> 01:23:42
			the in Egypt, and then what happened in
		
01:23:42 --> 01:23:43
			Syria,
		
01:23:45 --> 01:23:47
			as as sad as I I was for
		
01:23:47 --> 01:23:49
			losing my father in 2,006,
		
01:23:49 --> 01:23:52
			I was like Alhamdulillah he departed because had
		
01:23:52 --> 01:23:55
			he lived through the Syrian
		
01:23:55 --> 01:23:56
			crisis,
		
01:23:56 --> 01:23:58
			that would have killed him for sure.
		
01:23:59 --> 01:24:00
			Because that's his
		
01:24:01 --> 01:24:03
			that's his family. That's his people. That's that's
		
01:24:03 --> 01:24:04
			where my
		
01:24:05 --> 01:24:06
			that's it.
		
01:24:08 --> 01:24:09
			But even then,
		
01:24:10 --> 01:24:13
			as sad as distress as, you know, the
		
01:24:13 --> 01:24:15
			is most likely it was the stress of
		
01:24:15 --> 01:24:16
			the Ummah that, you know,
		
01:24:16 --> 01:24:17
			he
		
01:24:17 --> 01:24:20
			always even before he passed away, he's like
		
01:24:21 --> 01:24:22
			the future is for this deen.
		
01:24:23 --> 01:24:25
			He was you know, we're not we may
		
01:24:25 --> 01:24:27
			not witness it, we may not live it,
		
01:24:27 --> 01:24:29
			we may not experience it, but this this
		
01:24:29 --> 01:24:31
			deen will be victorious.
		
01:24:31 --> 01:24:33
			Do not do not give up.
		
01:24:33 --> 01:24:35
			When you if you give up, you're giving
		
01:24:35 --> 01:24:36
			up on yourself.
		
01:24:39 --> 01:24:41
			Any Muslim, any person that comes and says,
		
01:24:41 --> 01:24:43
			takes it out on his or her relationship
		
01:24:43 --> 01:24:44
			with Allah, it's like I'm done with this
		
01:24:44 --> 01:24:47
			ummah. I'm done with this religion. I'm thus
		
01:24:47 --> 01:24:49
			I'm done with these people. I'm done with
		
01:24:52 --> 01:24:53
			the The Ummah is not going to lose
		
01:24:53 --> 01:24:56
			anything. It's just your your loss. Allah promised
		
01:24:56 --> 01:24:57
			the prophet
		
01:25:01 --> 01:25:03
			So believe firmly in this. And this is
		
01:25:03 --> 01:25:04
			why
		
01:25:06 --> 01:25:07
			they're going to win, Insha'Allah.
		
01:25:08 --> 01:25:09
			Sooner or later
		
01:25:09 --> 01:25:11
			they will not be defeated.
		
01:25:12 --> 01:25:15
			Because Allah 'Azza wa Jalal would not dissatisfy
		
01:25:15 --> 01:25:15
			the prophet.
		
01:25:20 --> 01:25:21
			And the prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam said
		
01:25:21 --> 01:25:24
			especially about Baytul Maqdis and the Sham region
		
01:25:24 --> 01:25:25
			in in general.
		
01:25:27 --> 01:25:29
			There will remain to be
		
01:25:29 --> 01:25:30
			a group of my Ummah.
		
01:25:32 --> 01:25:35
			Fighting for the truth, holding on to it.
		
01:25:37 --> 01:25:39
			The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam indicated that
		
01:25:39 --> 01:25:41
			they will be abandoned and failed by people.
		
01:25:42 --> 01:25:44
			He said, But that is not going to
		
01:25:44 --> 01:25:46
			harm them, they're going to be alone.
		
01:25:49 --> 01:25:52
			Until Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's promise, you know,
		
01:25:52 --> 01:25:53
			comes.
		
01:25:53 --> 01:25:55
			So the Sahaba some of the Sahaba asked
		
01:25:55 --> 01:25:57
			the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, Where are
		
01:25:57 --> 01:26:00
			they? Where are they going to be? The
		
01:26:00 --> 01:26:01
			prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam said what?
		
01:26:02 --> 01:26:05
			Baytul Maqdis waqnafi Baytul Maqdis.
		
01:26:05 --> 01:26:07
			This is not a hadith that we just
		
01:26:07 --> 01:26:09
			produced last last,
		
01:26:09 --> 01:26:10
			last year
		
01:26:11 --> 01:26:14
			or you know few years ago. No no
		
01:26:14 --> 01:26:16
			no. Or 75 years ago. This hadith has
		
01:26:16 --> 01:26:17
			been in the books
		
01:26:18 --> 01:26:20
			for 1400 years. It was there.
		
01:26:22 --> 01:26:24
			And every time that region was you know
		
01:26:24 --> 01:26:25
			went through
		
01:26:25 --> 01:26:25
			crisis,
		
01:26:26 --> 01:26:29
			the Ummah came together, it brought the Ummah
		
01:26:29 --> 01:26:31
			together. We have history. There is a track
		
01:26:31 --> 01:26:33
			record from the time of the Sahaba, it
		
01:26:33 --> 01:26:36
			brought the Ummah back together. Salahuddin, it brought
		
01:26:36 --> 01:26:38
			the ummah back together. The Mamluks, it brought
		
01:26:38 --> 01:26:40
			the ummah back together. Every time that region
		
01:26:40 --> 01:26:43
			reaches a very low point, the ummah comes
		
01:26:43 --> 01:26:43
			back together
		
01:26:44 --> 01:26:46
			and the ummah, you know, rises again.
		
01:26:47 --> 01:26:49
			And that is what they're afraid of, but
		
01:26:49 --> 01:26:51
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave us his promise
		
01:26:51 --> 01:26:53
			and we believe in the promise of Allah.
		
01:26:53 --> 01:26:55
			We may see it, we may experience it,
		
01:26:55 --> 01:26:55
			we may not.
		
01:26:56 --> 01:26:58
			It doesn't it doesn't make a difference.
		
01:26:58 --> 01:26:59
			We believe in it.
		
01:27:02 --> 01:27:03
			Glad Tidings and,
		
01:27:07 --> 01:27:09
			We just have to do our part
		
01:27:09 --> 01:27:13
			and, and and and keep keep on,
		
01:27:13 --> 01:27:14
			you know, standing
		
01:27:15 --> 01:27:17
			for the truth, living upon the truth.
		
01:27:22 --> 01:27:23
			Any questions?
		
01:27:25 --> 01:27:26
			We have
		
01:27:27 --> 01:27:29
			3 minutes InshaAllah of q and a.
		
01:27:30 --> 01:27:31
			Yes. Okay.
		
01:27:42 --> 01:27:42
			I will call the other
		
01:27:44 --> 01:27:45
			to have a second.
		
01:27:46 --> 01:27:49
			It is the graduation ceremony for PBS, including
		
01:27:49 --> 01:27:51
			my one of my children is graduating tomorrow.
		
01:27:51 --> 01:27:52
			I don't think we're gonna be able to
		
01:27:52 --> 01:27:55
			make it. So Inshallah, part 2 of
		
01:27:55 --> 01:27:56
			be
		
01:27:57 --> 01:27:57
			on,
		
01:57:52 --> 01:57:55
			SubhanAllah. The verses I recited in Salah
		
01:57:57 --> 01:58:00
			reminded me again, we we kind of mentioned
		
01:58:00 --> 01:58:03
			him in the lecture of Abu Bakr radiallahu
		
01:58:03 --> 01:58:04
			an, the companion of the prophet
		
01:58:05 --> 01:58:08
			whom the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam by the
		
01:58:08 --> 01:58:10
			way chose as his best friend.
		
01:58:10 --> 01:58:11
			Now,
		
01:58:12 --> 01:58:14
			when you choose a friend, you you need
		
01:58:14 --> 01:58:16
			you have to make sure that you choose
		
01:58:16 --> 01:58:16
			someone
		
01:58:17 --> 01:58:19
			who is as good, if not better than
		
01:58:19 --> 01:58:21
			you. You should choose someone who's better than
		
01:58:21 --> 01:58:23
			you. Someone who's go going to help
		
01:58:23 --> 01:58:24
			bring
		
01:58:25 --> 01:58:26
			the best out of you.
		
01:58:27 --> 01:58:28
			Someone that you can look up to.
		
01:58:29 --> 01:58:30
			But when you are the best well not
		
01:58:30 --> 01:58:33
			you. When Muhammad since Muhammad is the best
		
01:58:33 --> 01:58:35
			sallallahu alaihi wasallam there's no one better than
		
01:58:35 --> 01:58:38
			him but the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam chose
		
01:58:38 --> 01:58:39
			the best.
		
01:58:42 --> 01:58:44
			Now the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam didn't necessarily
		
01:58:44 --> 01:58:47
			choose his companions. He did not choose who's
		
01:58:47 --> 01:58:48
			going to follow him and who's not going
		
01:58:48 --> 01:58:50
			to follow him. He invited everyone.
		
01:58:51 --> 01:58:54
			But Abu Bakr was his friend before Islam
		
01:58:55 --> 01:58:58
			and he was his friend after Islam. So
		
01:58:58 --> 01:59:00
			the prophet chose him before and after.
		
01:59:00 --> 01:59:02
			But it was Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that
		
01:59:02 --> 01:59:04
			guided the hearts and chose his companions
		
01:59:06 --> 01:59:07
			for him. Out of these companions, the prophet
		
01:59:07 --> 01:59:09
			took Abu Bakr
		
01:59:09 --> 01:59:11
			as his own personal intimate friend.
		
01:59:13 --> 01:59:13
			And he said,
		
01:59:15 --> 01:59:17
			If I was to take any human being
		
01:59:17 --> 01:59:18
			as Khalil,
		
01:59:18 --> 01:59:20
			Khalil is the, like, highest
		
01:59:21 --> 01:59:22
			level of
		
01:59:22 --> 01:59:25
			friendship and and connection between 2 individuals. Let
		
01:59:25 --> 01:59:27
			takab to Ababaq Khalilah.
		
01:59:28 --> 01:59:29
			I would have taken Abu Bakr as Makkah.
		
01:59:30 --> 01:59:32
			However, Huwata Islam, we're brothers in Islam and
		
01:59:32 --> 01:59:33
			he's my best friend.
		
01:59:35 --> 01:59:37
			And he told his companions leave my companion.
		
01:59:37 --> 01:59:39
			He used to call refer to him as
		
01:59:39 --> 01:59:42
			my companion, my friend. Leave him alone.
		
01:59:43 --> 01:59:44
			And Allah in the Quran
		
01:59:46 --> 01:59:49
			Allah also established this special bond between him
		
01:59:49 --> 01:59:51
			when they were in the cave by themselves.
		
01:59:52 --> 01:59:54
			And what caught my attention is at the
		
01:59:54 --> 01:59:56
			end of surah, is doctor Samana still here
		
01:59:56 --> 01:59:57
			or he left?
		
01:59:57 --> 02:00:00
			You know what caught my attention? Jema. We
		
02:00:00 --> 02:00:01
			were talking about the verse
		
02:00:04 --> 02:00:06
			That's what Allah said to the prophet. Allah
		
02:00:06 --> 02:00:08
			promised the prophet that he will be, he
		
02:00:08 --> 02:00:10
			will have rida, he will be satisfied and
		
02:00:10 --> 02:00:10
			pleased.
		
02:00:11 --> 02:00:14
			In the previous Surah, the Surah ends with
		
02:00:15 --> 02:00:16
			Walasawf I Aruba.
		
02:00:17 --> 02:00:19
			A reference to who?
		
02:00:19 --> 02:00:20
			To Ubakr.
		
02:00:23 --> 02:00:26
			So Allah says will asaf Ubakr will indeed
		
02:00:26 --> 02:00:27
			be pleased and Allah will be pleased with
		
02:00:27 --> 02:00:29
			him and he will be pleased.
		
02:00:30 --> 02:00:31
			Back to
		
02:00:39 --> 02:00:40
			back.
		
02:00:40 --> 02:00:41
			May Allah
		
02:00:42 --> 02:00:44
			make us of those who are inspired by
		
02:00:44 --> 02:00:47
			their examples. Lessons for us, choose your friends
		
02:00:47 --> 02:00:49
			or your close friends carefully
		
02:00:49 --> 02:00:51
			and make sure that they are the ones
		
02:00:51 --> 02:00:52
			that really bring the best out of you.
		
02:00:52 --> 02:00:55
			And if Allah has blessed you with a
		
02:00:55 --> 02:00:57
			very sincere dedicated friend
		
02:00:58 --> 02:00:59
			and that is really
		
02:00:59 --> 02:01:00
			a gift,
		
02:01:01 --> 02:01:03
			that you don't want to lose. May Allah
		
02:01:04 --> 02:01:05
			make our friendship,
		
02:01:06 --> 02:01:08
			based upon his love and for his sake.
		
02:01:08 --> 02:01:09
			Allahumujal.
		
02:01:25 --> 02:01:28
			Just 2 announcements for a week, this weekend
		
02:01:28 --> 02:01:30
