continuing the series that we began last Friday.

Last Friday, we spoke about the rules of engagement. And that's a

name, a special name that I gave the series.

And I explained what the rules of engagement mean. We said every

soldier deployed on a mission or sent a mission

or to a battle or something, right? They have a set rule. They

have rules of engagement, right, that they need to know of when

they engage themselves in that mission, right. And we said, in

the submission of, we have the dunya, when Allah subhanaw taala

sent Adam alayhis, salam, to this life to this world. There are

specific rules that we can extract from the Quran that we can

consider to be rules of engagement. The first one does

anyone remember the first one, the one that I mentioned last week?

Purpose. And we said, when Allah subhanaw taala, created Adam,

Alice Sarah, He created him with a specific purpose and a specific

duty, which is to be a Khalifa for Allah on this earth, to be the

successor of Allah, to uphold justice, to uphold the Sharia of

Allah, and to maintain it with whatever Allah subhanho wa Taala

commended in order for it to be in harmony. And then we spoke about

how there are two types of people in this world, only two. The first

are people with purpose and that know their purpose. And the second

are people that do not know their purpose. The people that do know

their purpose, they are in harmony with the universe with all of the

creations around them from heaven until this dunya

and the people that do not know their purpose, they disrupt the

harmony of everything from the heavens all the way down to this

dunya all the other creations know the purpose of their creation and

the purpose of their being except for what what Kali luminous be

there is a group of people that Allah gave free will, that can

choose to not understand their purpose in life. We ask Allah

subhanaw taala to give us purpose. And now the second rule of

engagement is know your generation. Know your generation.

And this is a recurring theme in the Quran. In more than one a

Allah subhanho wa Taala said,

till karuma tune Kahala Lucha Marchesa but welcome Mecca septum

wala Aluna Americano, Yama Loon, this Allah subhanaw taala says in

Surah Al Baqarah, this ummah, this nation of people, is a nation that

has perished, for it is the consequences of its actions and

for you, or your actions, and you will not be asked about what they

did. And you will not to be asked about what they did. So in this

beautiful island, this is a recurring theme in the Quran. This

is just one idea. In surah, Al Baqarah, we can learn that

part of the rule of engaging in this dunya is to know the

generation and the time that we live in.

No, the generation and the time that we live in every generation,

has its own challenges, has its own trials, has its own

tribulations, has its own means of victory, and has its own ways to

establish the deen every generation, and we have to know

this. Since the time of the prophets I sell them how many

generations has it been since Prophet so I sell them now for the

let's say generations right about 4850 generations, since the time

of the prophets of Allah Nelson, every generation will be asked

about itself

and they will not be asked about what the previous generations did.

Lucha Mikasa but Wella comarca septum for it was for them is what

they did. The consequences of their actions will be reaped by

them. And they as a generation will be asked by Allah what they

did to uphold their

religion of Allah and the deen of Allah in their time.

And our generation as well will be asked by itself. So by

understanding this brothers and sisters, we can conclude something

very important that all these statements like oh, the way things

were back in my days, or in the good old times, things would be

like that, or what worked before was this, these are all irrelevant

and irrational.

Right? You know, when a father tells a child of a different

generation, or a grandfather tells their grandchild, who is brought

up in a completely different generation, you know, the way we

did things was,

that's completely irrelevant. Why? Because they have their own

challenges. Every generation has their own challenges, trials and

tribulations. And they will be asked individually as a

generation, what they did to cope with the trials of their time.

Just like the grandparents, who are telling their grandchildren

the way we used to, they had to cope with things, unlike their own

parents and grandparents, right. Things change. And the same thing

with the younger generation insha Allah Tala. And this theme is also

recurring in a verse that was mentioned many times in the Quran.

Allah subhanho wa Taala said, what Allah Tala zero was zero to one

with raw Quran, this was repeated many times in the Quran, that

nobody will carry the burden or the deeds of someone else. Nobody,

right, well, and lay still insanely Illamasqua and the only

thing you will get is what you did, the actions that you did in

this dunya is what you will reap in the Accra and this is as a

generation. So in order for us to live these verses, and to engage

ourselves properly with this rule of engagement, we need to

understand our generation and the means of establishment as verbal

Temkin right as Bible thinking, the real the, the means of

establishing the deen in our generation. Because just because

it was successful with a previous generation does not mean it will

continue to be successful in future generations. Islam is

adaptive. And as the sons of Adam were all the sons of Adam, every

generation has to adapt it's time to it's placed its context and

needs to know the means what they need to have in order to establish

this harmony that Allah subhanaw taala asked us to establish in

this dunya to uphold justice, and to be the successors of Allah

subhanho wa taala. In this dunya We ask Allah subhana wa Taala to

be a reason for the establishment of Justice on Earth. We ask Allah

subhana wa Taala to let our generation properly uphold their

purpose, which is to be the successors of ALLAH SubhanA wa

taala. In this world, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala that we engage,

we properly engage this world and this context, the way we should

engage it in order for Islam to be established. And in order for the

deen to spread and in order for the universal harmony to be

completed. I mean, you're obliged to me and ask Allah to forgive us

have mercy on us and show us the straight paths of Hunter Calamba
