Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Sayidina Muhammad Raja and he was heavy his money and
so inshallah we carry on our commentary on sort of an intro insha Allah. Hopefully inshallah we will be able to
complete the commentary on the surah.
Again, just to reiterate the central theme in the solar what we thought when the solar talks about is expressed clearly invest number two keytab. Now we can move out of the bubble Tablelands and now we'll get into now like FLIR confused ecology minoli tune the Ravi with a crawl, meaning it's a book that we have sent down upon your home hunted so much.
Familiar confused public, how'd you mean? So let the response
of these people or the burden of conveying this message, this whole mission, let me not bring you down.
So that
so there's a book and then there is your experience in delivering the message of Muhammad and what you go through. And then third, eventually, there will be warning and reminder warning to the disbelievers, those who reject the truth. And a reminder basically, for those who have accepted the truth and we said Allah mentioned Allah says, What the Quran remote meaning because Iman is not actually acquiring something essentially.
A man is not acquiring something is Eman is more about awakening the nature of the human nature in terms of faith, the football it's more of
it's not an acquiring but it's a recovery of something that would be a good way to put it fit right. And the Prophet SAW Selim said in the authentic hadith Kulu within you will have to enter the field. Each child is born in a state of football, Allah says in the Quran so that's a rule for Africa module Kelly Dini honey if football at Allahu Latif Apollo NASA Alia and set you face straight
to the
to the straight path or to the religion which is the dean of Islam Hanifa taking that straight path, fifth Allah Tala it is this religion this way is the fifth pillar is the natural state according to which or in which Allah created humans, Allah set humans in that state filtro Naturally, this is the religion so Allah said them, humans, their default state is identical to this religion. So this is why the Quran is mentioned as a reminder, as a reminder, vichara Allah says the Prophet with a QB and remind with it, why because in a sense, it's a recovery. imminently Muhammad Allah he says Masabi hope,
Alibaba, Hera, mobi, attune, Kubla and Zanni Shah.
The lights are the pure hearts are already shining, even before the revelation or this descending of Revelation. That doesn't mean humans can do without revelation. They cannot. But this is the seed, that the revelation helps grow and flourish. So that's the diner, the dynamics of faith, the dynamics of iman. So we said Allah subhanaw taala. In this surah says, There are three main points in sort of the hull of there is a book that is sent to you or Muhammad, so there will be references to the book, and its message.
Number two, your experience in conveying this message that will some elements will pull you down. Don't fall for that. Don't fall for that.
And the third one is that the outcome of your message
will be believers and disbelievers. Those who accept the truth, those who reject the truth, those who accept the truth, this book will serve as a reminder to them would have served as a reminder to them, the ones who reject the truth, it would serve as a warning does not.
Okay, so the whole story revolves around this, the things we covered, mentioned clearly.
A lot of them are a reference to what the Quran really said what the message is about, and to show the end of the disbelievers that's the warning to show the good end of the believers. That's actually the reminder and the good news. And then the Stories of the Prophets that we mentioned are actually quite like long. Here are a consolation to the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saying to him, you know what you're going through prophets and messengers before you went
through the same thing or through similar things. But we saw also something that we could glean from the stories that the challenges that the prophets and messengers had to deal with. They were combined for Prophet Muhammad, civil law ready your settlement. This is the final messenger. And he's bringing the final message that will remain with humanity to be the use of judgment. So all the challenges that the prophets previous prophets went through, were all combined. In the case of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we reached the story of Prophet Musa alayhis salam. And we said, this is probably the longest version of
the longest or the second longest after surah Taha story of Prophet, the version version of the story of Prophet Musa Alaihe Salam, and there is a reason there's a lot of similarity between what Prophet Musa Ali Salam had to face and what Prophet Muhammad SAW Salam had to face and this is one of the reasons why the story of Prophet Musa de Sena appears many times and the one
with the Prophet Muhammad Salam went through, there's a lot of similarity there's a lot in common with what the story of what Prophet Musa SLM, had to go through. Also, the lessons of the story of Prophet Musa alayhis salam will always come in handy to those who uphold the truth, because it's a struggle against tyrannical power
that embraces disbelief and upholds disbelief and fights for it, and is extremely vicious and unforgiving when it comes to crushing the truth and the people who uphold it for our own.
For our founders, the symbol of tyranny, arrogance and disbelief, as well as says, well Jana, Jana Hama in Macedonia Dona in an hour, and we meet them, leaders for the people of the fight for our own and his ministers, his supporters, his people, these are the leaders. This is why the Prophet SAW Solomon he faced the biggest opposition and tyranny and oppression in Mecca was from Abuja when the Prophet said in all of them, he is the pharaoh of this. Abuja is the Pharaoh Quran of this ummah of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
So
let's see what how Allah Subhana Allah console's Prophet Muhammad SAW so then through the solar of, of most Ali Salam.
Allah says thermal bath, verse number one or three thermal baths coming back to him Musa Biya Tina Illa here from Allah MOBA from Vulcan have to go to move sit in.
Then, after these prophets, We sent Musa with Our signs with our with our verses, to Pharaoh Allen and his group his gang
for Ebola mu will be very oppressed with it. What does that mean? They did not respond to it properly, they did not treat the signs of Allah properly. So they wronged the signs of a lot of them provided the wrong approach or the wrong response. Fund Markieff Acana asked me to move sin Allah says the Prophet Muhammad Al Salam. So contemplate, see, look at the outcome of those who bring about mischief.
There are a few points here.
This is a promise, the Prophet Muhammad SAW Salam that you will win over the people of Quraysh. If they oppose you,
because Allah says, the people will feel around the rejected Musa and his sights, same thing. Many of kurush in the early stages they rejected Prophet Muhammad Salah Salem and his message. Well, volume will be how they were oppressed, they had an oppressive response,
a tyrannical response.
Allah says, contemplate the end of those who bring to mischief. So that's a lot from that is drawing parallels between story of Prophet Musa Lisa and
experience of Prophet Muhammad SAW Selim. Now all ratio is still strong at this point when this verse was revealed. So that's a promise that's a hint for Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam
basically saying that the end of these people shouldn't be like the end of the Pharaoh. And the first signs of this happened in the Battle of better when Abuja Han
was killed in the Battle of the burger and he's the pharaoh of this
will call the Musa Nero pseudo metal Bill Alameen Allahu Allah halal, Huck
So Musa spoke directly to the Pharaoh and the Prophet Muhammad wa sallam a big part of his mission in Mecca was speaking directly to the people of Makkah to the leaders of many times. The first instance where the prophets of salaam gave Dawa was in that direct manner. So the first three years most likely have a download. The problem was secret data was one to one and the province of salaam would pick the ones that are most likely to respond positively. But then, the command came to Prophet Muhammad SAW some insalata SHA one they actually erotica. Akala been one when they're actually erotica, Colombian, and warn your tribe your family that is closest to you. The prophets of
salaam went on to suffer and he said yeah mashallah Qureshi have any doubt you have any ambitions he started calling the different clans of Polish summoning them. And this was like this kind of conferencing was only done in extreme cases when emergencies.
So everyone realized this is a serious matter they came to gathered around Prophet Muhammad Solomon and Prophet Muhammad Amin the honest truth for the most balanced person in Mecca, the one that everyone looked up to everyone respected and he didn't have any political engagements or anything. And he says to them, if I were to tell you there's an army behind this mountain, that is ready to
attack you at the moment. Would you believe me? And there's no other sites just my words.
They said we would take your word for it. Definitely man I hated that ileka Can't even we never experienced any live from you. The Prophet said for in Nina the yonder combiner mini the other machete. He said, I'm a warning to you before a severe punishment from Allah. This took Maccha by surprise.
Direct Dawa. This is what most Ali Salam had, he had to go to the pharaoh in his face, and give him the Dawa face to face. For the federal this was such a great challenge to his power and position. For many people in MCLA this was a great challenge as well from prophet Mohamed Salah Salem to them, how can you challenge our way of life just like that so simply and in public, like these things should be discussed in private before you bring them to the public attention. But Prophet Mohammed Salim went straight as Allah Subhan Allah commanded him.
So this is why hence the response of his uncle. Ebola. What did he say to Bundock and he had Vegemite? And he says, well, basically he swore at him. And this is why you brought us here together. Obviously he wanted to ridicule put down that his message and his calling as if this was basically just a silly matter. What would you bring us here?
The same kind of ridicule was faced by Musa alayhis salam from the Federal he said, all the incontrovertibly agate infatti behind container, few really a messenger from Allah proved me inside prove it to me like he didn't take him seriously.
Deep inside, he did take him seriously, but he just pretended as if it was insignificant. So
Musa alayhis salam was ready was prepared, because a lot of that already gave him two major powerful signs. And the most powerful sign was the, the rod
or the staff of Prophet Musa Islam, he would throw it and it would turn into a real snake, real huge snake.
And
again,
the scholars have the theory they say every Prophet was sent to the miracle that was relevant to their time.
And that makes full sense because there's a principle in the Quran Allah says, one might also name a law school in in BD Saturnia oh me, you're bringing along and we've never sent a messenger except that he spoke the language of his people.
And the word language is quite like inclusive, it accommodates a lot in the language. So there is the language Yes, the spoken language, but language has cultural with it has cultural connotations, like you could speak. For example, there are expressions in Canada here that if you use them in the UK, for example, they won't make sense
with language is basically the same right? But the expression is cultural. So there it won't make sense it's not in use this as part of language. So, some scholars say language is quite an elusive and an elastic term and many things can be
included under it. Similarly, following from this principle, Allah sent every prophet speaking
or with a miracle that the people can relate to people can appreciate.
And it was
The hype or let's say the trend of their time. So the time Prophet Musa Ali salaam, the whole concept of magic, practicing magic and magicians, they were like the,
the elite of a society like liberal society, they employed magicians.
They employed like now people, let's get let's see, what would be a sign of someone who's rich in today's world?
private jets, right? That's why a lot of those who promise you, you know, get rich schemes, overnight schemes, right? They usually when they, when they film their, their promotions, promotions, promotional videos, where they usually film themselves either in their private jet
or driving a Lamborghini or one of those like, expensive cars, right? Why? Because everyone agrees that this is what it means to be rich. Mind you, most of those private jets are actually rented. And these cars are rented, right?
So at the time of Mussolini, he said as a sign of wealth was that you had some magicians working for you?
Who would make a show and who would even help you. We know the story of Prophet Muhammad. Allah mentioned the story of
the young man.
Right, who said to the king, if you say if you want to kill me, you say Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, right. His father sent him to learn magic, magic magic from a magician. And on the way he found a priest or a worshiper, and he started frequenting the worship or learning from the worshiper, right.
And until he became a very righteous person, he became even more righteous than the worshiper himself. And then there was a beast on the way
people could not pass. And then this young man came, and he threw a rock on this beast, and he said, Bismillah, and it killed the beast, right, and people then could pass. So people started believing in Him, accepting his message, and he was challenged by the king, the king sent him to be killed a few times, then he came back, Allah saved him, the king tried to kill me couldn't kill him, he says, There is only one way you could kill me. And the way you could kill me is basically by pointing with an arrow my throat and saying Bismillah Gollum in the Name of Allah, Lord of this boy. Right. And that's how he killed them. And then people became Muslim, they followed the religion of the they
said, the god of this boy must be must be the true God, right. And this is when the king burned them.
So what was the what was the boy learning the boy was learning magic, why to serve in the court, for the king worked for the king. So the elite all had magicians at the time of Moses. So magic was like,
the top paying profession at the time, and the rich ones would pay generously to employ these these magicians. So it wasn't the trend everyone was everything was about magic. And they had these superpowers they could do 10 things, they could turn dust into gold, they could turn this into that and things like that. They could manipulate people. So Allah Subhan, Allah sent Musa alayhis salam with a miracle that the peace people could relate to. So the staff turned into a snake. Now in their magic, they could turn a staff into a snake but only through optical illusion. But for him, it was like real thing. So it basically it trumped. They're their form of magic. 810 tend to be like
insignificant compared to the miracle he came with Prophet acla Islam. The miracle, one of the miracles that Allah gave him was healing the leper and sick people, terminally ill people bringing the dead back to life, right? Why? Because medicine was the big thing at the time, especially in the Roman Empire. It was the big thing medicine at the time of Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam
definitely was the language. It was the language. It was eloquent see, and the Quran
just trumped all of the language that couldn't argue with its beauty.
And with its profoundness in its correctness and its originality.
But the Quran has many layers.
In our times, linguistically, maybe it's not. It's not a big thing, linguistic and the Arabic language, but the Quran will always match and that's why the Quran is the miracle of miracles. It matches any challenge. It matches any challenge.
And I give you a personal opinion. Since today, the world is so happy about
finding ways of life through science and education, improve
Moving in quality of life, Islam stands out, it can provide, it actually provides the best prescription for lifestyle, how to live.
So, at any time you will find the Quran matches the challenge and Trump's it 100% And that's why it's the miracle of all miracles. So that's a similarity again, between the message or the experience of Prophet Muhammad Hassan and Prophet Musa Ali said that the challenge was strongly relevant to, to the language or to the culture of the time. And also, he would put his hand inside of his garment.
And he would, and Musa alayhis salam was of a darker color. He was dark brown color. The prophets of Allah mentioned that Musa nice, he liked me, he said, Can ecology mean as the shanwa as Digenova is an Arab tribe, and their skin is very, very dark, extremely dark brown. So he said,
When he saw mo salah, he said, I'm during the journey of Allah SubhanAllah. He said, Can ecology lemon as the shanwa, he looked like someone from that tribe position one.
So mostly Sam would pull his hand it would be white,
only his palm would be white.
And then it would return to its original color. But again, that was relevant as well to the whole concept of our profession of magic
at the time.
So for anyone who said, this is just you know, this is Sal and Ali. And in her second album, he says, this is like, cheap magic. It's obvious we can we can figure that out. It's cheap form of magic. I can I can show you what what real magic is. So again, instead of listening to the core of the message, he went off at a tangent, right? The point was, hey, that this is a miracle from Allah, you just ask for a miracle. And I'm showing you a miracle from Allah, it's a sign right but now the sign became the topic rather than the message itself, rather than the content of the message itself. And again, this is I think, this is one of the fallacies I've got what's the name of it, but it's
basically when you have an argument with someone you can actually create a distraction
you avoid the main point and you take one side thing and you make it the point making the argument and then the whole thing is wasted.
And then Musa tried to rally the people against or sorry for and tried to rally the people against Musa to call columella Amin Amin around in the lesser Helen Haleem. You read Are you free document or they can be Salif? Amanda this is definitely like a trained magician. And all he wants is to get you basically take over and kick you out of this land.
So he he's basically
he's turning Morsani salaam into a threat to them
just again like the media
they're gonna like
some some media outlets that would say, you know,
yeah, Muslims are here to take over the world, right so that they can demonize you. So for our tried to demonize
Musa alayhis salam and how
now something similar was done again with Prophet Muhammad SAW salah, but he wants
to come have a right. So he basically ridiculed your forefathers he looked down upon your religion upon your head desecrated you gods, right. So basically, they try to demonize him turn him into a threat to society, rally the people
against him.
And then there was the confrontation.
For onbroad, the magicians there was like a display.
And everyone was brought and the magicians came. And Musa said, you know, show me your, you know, your magic. Where is it? So they through their sticks or their staffs. And they again through illusion, optical illusion, they seemed as if though they weren't moving around again, but this is something not religious, but this is some, you know, people tried to think what that actually means according to the technology of that time. They said these were tubes
that were full of mercury and Mercury is liquid. And when you throw it or you roll it it has a momentum of its own it keeps rolling right for a while. So again, this is not not religious. This is not a religious explanation. This is just mentioned actually in the books of sale. Right. These were tubes full of mercury. And
and basically it's in its
Natural room temperature, it's, you know,
it's quite liquid and if you throw it
it's actually it develops a moment of its own and it looks as if it's wiggling.
So that's the source of optical illusion again, this is just an explanation. But Musa alayhis salam when he and it was so like captivating to the point that even more Salah he said I'm had a hint or a moment of fear
but Allah subhanaw taala
made the heart of Musa lesson and family he said just throw your stuff and he thought through it and it turned into a proper snake that eats and it was like it wasn't only a snake was a huge snake and it was moving so rapidly that it's it looks so unbelievable, unbelievably scary and it devoured all of their sticks.
So that was something they were never exposed to. And they realized man This isn't like we know we know magic inside out this is no magic, this is just this is something else right. So they realize that no one could human being could have these powers it must be something else. So they believed.
They accepted. Prophet Muhammad SAW Selim was challenged by the people of Mecca many times. They said turn
a sufferer will matawa into gold. Right? And the problem actually made
and Allah said problem hamazon Selim through Gibreel in shape.
And Allah Allah Mustafa will matter what had to happen for Inca follow a huddle.
If you want if you wish a word could turn Safa and Marwah into gold. But if they disbelieve after that, that's the end Allah is going to take them out.
But if you wish, Allah would not turn Allah would not do that. And Allah would give them time the Prophet Muhammad SAW said, No, keep them, I'm gonna give them time, because he knew them. He knew they were not sincere in challenging him. Then they challenged him to give him a miracle as well.
Was which was the splitting of the moon, Chicago comma, and when that happened in front of their eyes, they said no, that's optical illusion green accepted. The prophets of salaam went on the journey of let's start with Mirage, they made fun of him. They didn't believe in him. So there's a lot of similarity here. So when that you can imagine when that actually came to Prophet Muhammad Salah Salem, he that like most Ali Salam was in a similar situation. He had to deal with that with a challenge but eventually everything just turned out
to be destruction of their own and his people.
And Subhan Allah and something just to reflect upon the magician's when they saw the sign, a mannequin a man like unlocked
through their hearts
and look at the sharp difference between comfort and a man as a as a human as a human condition.
Before that,
before the challenge
in other other songs
called how to live your honor in Elena agilon encoding and ANOVA Libby This is a we going to get a reward are we going to get a treat if we win this challenge on an unwitting accompany the nominal Maccabi and he said yes and you shall be among the closest to me. As we bring you even closer higher in the social hierarchy closer to me, it will be my special people.
So when they through
McAllen who visited around the international volleyball when they flew they took pride in themselves being we are frowns people, we are the first people that's who we are. That's the identity, the arrogance. And there was so confident of their magic and of the support of the pharaoh because for them there was like,
Oh my God.
But when they saw the sign of Musa alayhis salam, all of that crumbled all of this illusion that they because pride is always based on an illusion When that crumbled
what happened
for Tara surged he came back it took over the scene.
So when they saw that they realized all of all of the lies of around became exposed. Now Kajal how cool was alcohol bottle the truth when the truth comes false or disappears. You don't have to find it on truthful. When, when truth when truth comes, falsehood dissolves. It's transmuted, it melts naturally. Why? Because that's its nature because it doesn't have a real existence. It exists in people's minds.
All of these illusions exist in people's minds. They have no true existence of themselves. So
when they saw that a man searched, a man came like it's like a flood. It's like a dam you break it down in a flood
erupts
so
when they saw the sign they went down prostrating
God Who am and now behind me and Robbie MUSAWAH home they said we believe in the Lord of the Worlds he's the Lord of motion, because that will weaken their faith. Now what happened for the onset or the admin to blah blah blah? You accepted him you believed in him before I gave you permission remember I'm your God right I'm your I'm your boss. I'm I'm I'm the one who says yes and no. Now you are sort of escaping from my control. How dare you and we spoke we speak about for all he had, like he had all the means you could think of at the time everyone else was powerless.
Got a little Solomon law configured were naturally local, local 10 idea commodity local military love.
I should cut off your hands and you're on your feed and I shall crucify you to tree trunks
meaning that you're going to taste the worst pain torture ever. How dare you.
And this is a real threat. These are people who lived it's not like these people grew up knowing that for only somebody you could not mess with. That's it. Like it's not
it was for them more evident than anything else.
So so they were programmed to feel frown But look at when a man comes it changes everything. Now for Alan is challenging them and they are face to face with Him. They're not far from him. What happened? What did they say? Called Lulu in Colombo, they said we don't care. Doesn't matter. Nobody doesn't matter.
Eventually we will return to Allah what can you do?
Can you imagine the freedom can you feel it?
The freedom
like they live their life in captivity, mental mental slavery.
And he man transformed him completely. Why? Because that flotilla that he man took over all of the illusion and disappear dissipated. Now there's only faith.
And another saw the response was
in Amana, Belbin Alia frolunda Hapa we have believed in Allah so He forgives our sins, our shortcomings. furcal Damon TOCOM do you do what you want? Likes, you challenge him openly face to face around like, it's Unbeliev. It's like,
it's like someone who suffers from some kind of fear of someone. And then all of a sudden, they break from that fear. Now, this is the trauma, completely disappearing. This is the paranoia completely canceled. It's a new human being far away, man took off, we do whatever you want to do. Like, it's so cool. Like, it's so carefree. Even, like, you can't even say say the word without feeling like, you know, do what you want.
Go for it.
In an article, we had to dunya you know, what's only in your hand, you can only make a judgement about this life.
So do do whatever you want.
Like do good do to us whatever you want to do. It's all about this life.
Everything changed just a second a second ago. All they wanted was one in Elena agilon Are we going to get a treat? Are we going to get gifts gonna get rewarded for that.
That's that's all they wanted, right?
And all they wanted to be closer to the federal, like he gave them the most precious thing that could ever be given the biggest honor which is you can even come closer to me.
But now all of a sudden, they don't even want that.
They don't want that.
That's that's what that's what faith does. And the companions of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, the way they were transformed is more profound than this.
Because they didn't even only go to challenge the federal challenge, even Quraishi or challenge even the whole of the Arabs in the Arabian Peninsula, where they actually did. Allah through them changed the course of history, completely, probably the biggest transformation in a nation known in history.
But those scattered fighting Arabs,
they had no strategy, no vision, nothing. They didn't even have a civilization. All of a sudden you bring them on, you actually place them right at the center of the map of the world.
Changing the face of earth completely.
And again, not any changes positive again, if we were not speaking in secular terms, or any changes, okay, like his counts. No, but this is a change that brought humanity back to life.
Okay, so, so this is a similarity as well.
And then obviously the Pharaoh wanted to chase them and kill them.
And he did Chase them but prior to that there was in
a short period of time.
Allah gave Ron and his people a chance by sending upon them, some trials and tests and these are mentioned as the miracles of most Alehissalaam verse number 133 For our Celina Ali Hema Tofana while Jarrah while omega one of the I would have a solid for stick about what can Omen module mean we sent upon them to fan floods, the Nile would flood and destroy their crops and all the vegetation.
Well, Gerrard locusts, they would come and eat all of their produce
a common
lice lice
buddy in her life, obviously tormented them and they couldn't get rid of it. What their
frogs frogs were in a just turning their life into hell. Everywhere they were frogs everywhere there is water there is frogs even in their drinking water. They were frogs and they were making all of this this noise the night they were driving them crazy. Like frogs were everywhere. It's like an infestation of frogs
with them.
And this is another like test from Allah subhanaw taala that they drink. Sometimes we tell them to like you have a cup of water you want to drink, all of a sudden it turns into blood. And that made them make them feel disgusted they couldn't for for a while that couldn't have water to drink because it was all turning into blood. Some mentioned that the Nile itself turned into a red color of a blood real blood. Anyways, we're not we don't have any specific like narrations about the details.
So when this happened, they realized, well maybe this is a punishment from the Lord of Moses. So they went to most Arizona.
And the losses in the following verse Well, America it hemorrhages Okada, we almost had to go back Bhima
they went to Moose and they said you know make dua to Lord, pray to Lord, you know to take these things away from us.
Let in cash after and the rich that are not mean and the Lakota notice the Latin America B'nai Israel. If Allah removes that all of these tests away, we shall believe in you and we shall hand you over the people of Israel because mausoleum was was sent to the people of Israel eventually to save them from throne and from his tyranny.
So Allah says Philip Makka Schaffner and Hungary number is a legend a homebody? Oh, he told me in Quito, when we lifted all of these ailments and predicaments from them,
we turn back on their heels and they did not fulfill their promise.
Same thing, there was many there were many things with profit promises. And they said, if you show us a sign, we would believe the splitting of the moon and happened in front of their eyes. They said, No, that's magic. We don't believe in it. So how that can be captured. That's what they said. They had a bad name for the Prophet Muhammad SAW Salam if not to be captured the son of the father of the sheep, right. So it was a condescending, sarcastic nickname. So Salah can ignore the capture, he just created an optical illusion. He messed you up.
So many other things like they would they would say you bring this sign we would believe the person would bring the sign and they would not believe.
So the same kind of attitude again, when you as a prophet see that this had happened before. There's nothing new that's the norm. And eventually Allah is one that is going to establish the truth. Eventually obviously Allah subhanaw taala caused for our own
to drown Allah doesn't speak in detail about the end of the Pharaoh. He just mentioned that.
Basically, the common diamond on Valhalla canal home phillium
We avenged the truth and we made them drown in the sea. Drown in the
in DC.
So Allah doesn't talk in detail why because there's no no need to talk about details. They work with the point here to Los Angeles going to give you victory or Muhammad like he gave victory to Musa Islam and he will destroy the enemies. As simple as that.
And then Allah talks about money slightly. And how they started, you know, messing up with Mossad. He's
giving him a hard time
and what happened when
There was a meeting between Musa Islam and Allah subhanaw taala for today's
and I was people during this time, they took all of the gold that they stole from the Egyptians again. Look at these, these were believers at the time and Mussolini said I'm right. They believe the prostrated the challenge for Alan. When more Sally said I'm told them that Allah instructed me to escape
escape run away because for our own is actually plotting to catch you guys.
So Musa Sam tells tells them a we have you guys get ready, we have to run away. What did they do? Because again, money is what you were working as what servants and slaves do the Egyptians. What did they do? They went to the houses of their masters as usual. And they stole their jewelry.
They stole their jewelry,
theft. And these are what believers
they're not angels because again, belief is yes, I mean,
there's a football but you need to cultivate that. And it takes time, takes dedication takes hard work to grow.
So they stole the the gold and a sin leads to another sin. So when Musa alayhis salam was 40 days away from them, and Harun was looking after them. What happened?
There's a summary. Again, one of the magician's, most learned magicians, these guys got bored. And because they were under tyranny, these were people that you had to press them down. If you didn't press them down.
They would turn into monsters unless you cultivate them. So Musa Islam was in the process of cultivating them, but they were just so impatient so quick.
That the moment they were getting free, they were given freedom, they abused it, they started giving heroin addicts very hard time, tough time.
Then the summary the biggest among them, what did he do?
He
he said I saw
he
basically the angel can the system the story in the books of sale
when when when the angel split the ocean
for Musa alayhis salam and his people to escape through
and
then the federal went in and the sea just came back and drowned them.
One of the the angel hit the ground with its swing, and there was some traces of that. It seems like it was some some physical element. So a salary code that he took it.
This is in the Philippine cathedra he took it right and he kept it with him. And it seemed that there was some magical, you know, impact of this material that he gets. So what he did, again, he was a magician still his Jamelia is in him.
So these work guys were bored they didn't know what to do. And they came
from all over him Almunia California and Arizona Milan called we are mostly Alana Ilan Kamala Maria right still like they Musa was with them they pass by people who are worshipping statues, idols
these people feel jealous. This is Musa like, why can we be like those people they have statues they can worship to they can offer worship to why do we why can we have the same?
Right?
Colin commented on this and you guys are so ignorant, like we saved you from this and you still, you know, gravitate towards it. You still want your own demise and that's a problem by the way with. This is something even Holden said
in his mocha Dima, the famous scholar from from an endless he said oppress people. The moment you take away oppression from them, they will gravitate to another oppressor.
They got so used to being oppressed, that being free is very uncomfortable for them.
And this is something that is known. This is known in human behavior even today in psychology, people who go through a trauma, actually there's part of them visit that is not does not want to heal from the trauma and usually people who are abused in a marriage, they will actually leave that marriage and move usually gravitate to another abuser.
Because people need tend to repeat the pattern.
So summary. What did he do? He had an idea. We guys are bored. We don't know what to do. We don't know when most is going to come
back what is he going to bring? Probably most of would never come back right so he said bring gold the gold you guys had you took from Egyptians right? He melted that and he used these traces whatever he had the angel traces whatever
and what he did he molded the gold into a calf. What is the calf?
Because I mentioned that in, in, in the lecture and then one of it was students and then one of the teachers sent me a note and said, Can you explain what a calf is because they don't know what a calf and I thought, like okay, but just let me make sure I don't want to make the same mistake. calf is what
the baby over cow Okay, yeah, he made a calf. And
he he basically said, Call her you know
what I'm what you don't hold yourself in SE. He says this is your Lord.
The Lord of Musa he forgot forgot all about you
might not make any sense. But by the way, psychologically, it makes so much sense.
When you have a problem with your self esteem, you don't see yourself worthy of anything even of Allah's mercy.
And we are guilty of this by the way, she upon us is that, that how did so many sins Allah is not going to forgive me, right? Oh, maybe, you know, why would Alonso MyDrive Who am I insignificant? That's for the prophets. I send them for the companions for this righteous person, you know, but not for me. But you don't realize you're actually this is not only about thought about you, but that's about phone about Allah that Allah doesn't even care about his creation. That's serious thing. Where did it come from?
It came came from you having a twisted understanding of who you are.
So
so it appealed to them coming from that background, you worship things, right? Yeah, you have to see again, worship is in the heart is not about the senses.
We don't see Allah you know, no one saw Allah with his own eyes.
You know, Allah in your heart.
So this kind of tendency towards objectifying things, especially when it comes to worship is very problematic. So they grew up with this habit. So they were craving it. They were addicted to it. So when when that appealed to them and drew them in all of them started offering worship to the golden calf, but it's not like
they were not aware it was not It's not like it's just a piece of gold. But again, like, again, usually people will commit shirk, people will come up with absurdities, they usually scaffold their lies, and they're,
like, nonsensical belief with one with creating a logical, rounded sophistication. And by the way, that's what we have today. Because 200 years from now,
it's obvious that when humans study us, our times, I think these people were stupid man. Like, it was obvious that this whole way of life is messed up, right? It's always How come they couldn't see it. But again, there's a lot of logic and there's a lot of rhetoric around it built around, it sounds sophisticated. But if you strip it down to its essence, it doesn't make any sense. The way most of humans do this global culture kind of globalization doesn't make any sense. From any perspective.
Okay, so this was the case for them. Like it's obviously for us. It's a very, like, stupid idea. But for them, because they were, they were they were programmed into this kind of rhetoric and logic. It made so much sense to them. Like how do you worship something you don't see?
Something you can't touch? for them? That didn't make any sense like the people of Quraysh they said earlier to 11 Why they
did he made the god the many gods into one that doesn't make any sense. Like for them that's so strange.
Not it's your belief, that's strange, but because you are trained in it, you're programmed, You're conditioned. Now you started to see the normal healthy thing as straight.
Okay, so again, same thing, similar parallel.
And eventually, obviously, Allah told most of the salam that your people are worshiping the calf and
back to them and he was very upset with them. And
yeah, eventually, eventually Allah subhanaw taala destroyed some of them
when they came to a meeting,
and then Allah subhanaw taala punish them by
bringing down a clot
out upon them. And he said, You have to kill each other. How did Allah Allah save the ummah of, of Islam from these very difficult punishments that he inflicted on people when they sent previously because previously in previous nations when someone said it was written on their door, the song so did such and such,
were exposed
and eventually Allah Subhana Allah mentioned now look at the beautiful cross over mentioning the story of Prophet Musa SNM. Then Allah talks about the content of the message that he gave to Prophet Musa alayhis salam
about hematol Allah. So Allah says
okay, Allah talks about the content of the message of Prophet Musa alayhis salam.
from verse 154 to 156 157 Allah says about the people who follow most NASM Allah DNA to be honored Rasul and Nabil Omiya Lydia is doing homework to win and the home victor will it will entail
they are the ones who follow the Messenger the unlettered messenger that they find written and mentioned in the Torah, and the Gospels, Rahman ng
model humbly model theory and how many more than a description of Prophet Muhammad saw a beautiful cross over after drawing parallels from the story of Prophet Musa to story of Prophet Muhammad wa salam. And then from the story from the content of the message of Prophet Musa alayhis salam, establishing a very clear strong case about Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and his message.
And then there's an emphasis on the message of Prophet Muhammad SAW Salam, then Allah talks about Bani Israel, how he divided the 12 clans, and how he like treated them in a very special way then then they abused that and then Allah mentions a few stories with them among them on the law
prevented them from fishing on Saturday being like a holy day for them and how they sought means rounded
and how Allah Subhanallah punished them because of that. So there's a lot of details about
things that happened with Bani Israel and many of their a lot of their misconduct towards the instructions and how always they were seeking means that's a very common theme and about Bani Israel.
I was hoping that we could finish the solo but again
Allah subhanaw taala often just exposing Bani Israel and all of their corruption is going to also draw parallel from that to Quraysh and the Arabs who rejected the message at the beginning so insha Allah we're going to take that next week and finish with surah tilava and then we will wrap it all together but with me let it
does look like I have a retention and should this should be enough inshallah for today. So Allah said, Amanda, Xena Hamad earlier he was happy he was
