We're here to a bear that in Mr. Hale muhabba have taken to Liberia in the Mahir muhabba the reality the essence of worship is love, love from Allah subhanaw taala and we're not to take the full context of whatever that means. It means love of Allah subhanaw taala with a Taleem with feeling the sense of all towards the greatness of Allah Subhana Allah which is associated with fear, which is associated with fear, but the essence the very essence of the meaning of worship is an muhabba which is love, love of Allah subhanho wa Taala and we mentioned that even Tamia quotes diverse and soulful Bacara Wamena NASCI media Taffy lumen Dhoni, Lehi
who take partners or the associate partners or rivals, the assigned rivals to Allah subhanho wa taala. They love them as much as they love Allah. Then Allah Subhana Allah says, we're living in and I should I should do humbly Allah and the believers, the ones who believe in Allah, they love Allah more. They love Allah more. And that shows that the problem with associating partners was in the concept of love, and the concept of love.
And even Timmy actually wrote a whole book on this topic, a whole treatise on this book, and he called it reseller filmhub. And it's been taken out of his memorial, so that was printed separately as Risa Latin filmhub treaties on love, even to me, it talks exclusively in that book about love, the love of Allah subhanaw taala. And he shows how the essence of Islam and the essence of worship, and even the essence of the Creation,
the essence of what Allah created this whole universe, he traced it, he traces it back to love, back to loving Allah subhanaw taala.
So in the context of the Surah, we mentioned that Allah Subhana Allah compares between two types of people, those who
are truthful to Allah, those who fulfill their covenant with Allah subhanaw taala Alladhina Ulefone a bit ahead, Allah he will and Padilla Mita we said, these are all Al Bab. These are the people and we said look, is the heart of something is the core of something. And these are the people with sound hearts, because some someone in somebody might be smart, intelligent, mentally speaking, intellectually speaking, intelligent and sharp, but
that doesn't mean that they would submit to the truth. So realizing the truth, understanding it and submitting to it, that's what we call all these other people that we call Al Bab Lima machete, Rahim Allah Allah one of his beautiful arguments that he used to often teach his students would be mainly about the difference between alpha mu alpha
alhfam What he felt, he would say alhfam is you can understand, you can understand what the statement means you can understand what the statement means. He says this is alhfam But I'll fit is that you understand the intent of the speaker or the writer. So alpha is deeper than mere for him mere understanding. It's you get the the intent of the speaker, or of the intent of the writer. This is what a lot of what the law says the Malahat will that it will all meet now your CARDONE is gonna Hadith what's wrong with these people of crush, they do not have fear of what has been said. Or we know the Arabs of Christ, they must have the Arabic language so they know what the words mean. But
the fact that they did not respond to them positively, and they did not take them seriously, and they did not abide by them that shows that they did not really grasp the deeper meaning because because of their rejection because of their resistance.
So those are all ELB Allah describe the movements in the descriptions of them. They are true to the covenant of Allah, and they connect everything that Allah commanded to be connected, including their connection to Allah, the connection to the prophets of Salaam, their connection to Islam itself to the commands of Allah to the words of ALLAH, the connection to their relatives, to their parents, their relatives who have rights upon them alone or hum.
And the fear of loss rather they fear the punishment of Allah subhanaw taala. And they are patient. And what gives them the stamina to be patient is that they hope to see Allah's face on the day of judgment and thus they establish the prayer and they spend from what Allah has given them in secret and in public, and they respond to evil with good, these are the people who will get paradise and we said Allah not only allows them into paradise, but anyone who's been
faithful to Allah anyone who has been who believed in Allah from their parents. The
their family, their spouses and their offspring. Then Allah compares those to the people who do the opposite. They are untruthful to Allah, they have broken their promise to Allah subhanaw taala, which is to be truthful or to worship Allah subhanaw taala alone. And thus, these peoples spread around corruption and mischief. Although it seems to be something good. Well either appeal Allahu Allah to have sudo fill out the follow in the manner and almost everyone has insulted Baccarat. And when it is said to them Do not spread mischief and corruption. On Earth, they say we're just bringing about good things, we're just doing good.
And there's what Allah Subhan Allah says, okay, Derek has again not equally omitted hemella home, and thus we have beautified for every nation, their actions and their deeds, and why this is why it's very important to see the the this fault or this blind spot in our perception. Humans, when we are convinced about something, and when we do something, we tend to see it in good light. We think, Oh, we're doing good. We're doing good. We're spreading good.
And the problem is you find people from all walks of life, from all religions, from all faiths, from all persuasions, whatever they do, they say, We're doing this for the welfare for the betterment of humanity, to help others and so on and so forth. People are doing, people are waging war, people are killing others. People are defaming religions and, and races and whole, you know, kind of people. And they're saying, Well, we do this for the betterment of humanity. So everyone has rationalization behind what they do. And this is by the way, this is one of the things that the mind does. We think we humans, usually we choose emotionally. And then we rationalize. Rationalization usually comes
later on. This is, by the way, science. This is science humans choose emotionally.
They choose emotionally. Then afterwards, we find the rationalization and the logic to support our choices. That's how we humans function. And this is why a man is not about your intelligence. It's a gift from Allah subhanaw taala. It's Sophia, from Allah subhanho
wa taala. So people spread around mischief and they do bad things. But still, they say, Oh, we're doing good. We're doing good. But the only criteria is what we have is in the Quran, the book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam if what you do, does not follow the Quran, and the authentic sunnah of the Prophet SAW Selim, and how the companions of the Prophet SAW Selim and the tablet in and tablet HIV in were doing with Islam, you have to question yourself, you have to question yourself, otherwise everyone can rationalize their approach. Everyone can rationalize, you know, whatever way in life they follow. This is why even in Makaha, he said, Manisha, do you believe
in San Hoffa? Will you be here la should from the worst defects of human beings of man. And the worst effects of man is that he's unable to see his own mistakes. He's unable to see his own defects. So it's more of a vicious cycle. You don't see your weaknesses, you don't see your shortcomings.
Then Allah subhanaw taala. After comparing these two people, he shifts the argument back to the power and the might of Allah Subhan Allah, Allah Subhana Allah says,
Allah who you absorb the risk while he may Usher all the way up or it's Allah subhanaw taala who gives provision
in abundance to whomever he wills, He gives without measure to other people he gives in limited amounts, based on his knowledge, and based on his wisdom. So there are things sometimes that are unspoken, but they are understood from the context. They're understood from the context. Like we mentioned previously, that when Allah says you'll be Luma, Yasha boy, howdy, Masha, Allah, you know, guides, whomever, he wills, and He misleads or miss guides, whoever always guides, sorry, whomever he wills, some people say so why does Allah guide some people? And he misguides others. You have to see this in the context, that Allah larger context of this is when Allah Subhana Allah says in
Allah, Allah, Allah.
Allah subhanaw taala does not do injustice, even if it's an atom's wait. So you have to see why Allah guides these people and he misguides other people. This is based on his justice, and is based on his knowledge and it's based on his wisdom.
So you cannot take one of the acts of Allah subhanaw taala or one of the attributes of Allah and try to take it in isolation. And this is what the the, you know, deviant sects. That's what they have fallen into. They take this why they take part of the Quran, part of the Sunnah and they live another part that provides context and that clarifies it
So for example, in the names and attributes of Allah Subhan Allah they said, If you confirm that Allah manual allows us to whether Allah rose above the throne, that means Allah needs to rest on a place.
But we know Allah Subhan Allah said there's a wider context for this laser can Mythili he che? There is nothing like Allah wa was semi robust, and he is all here on the Osya so when you affirm the names and attributes of Allah subhanaw taala, you're not likening Allah to his creation. Allah is completely different from his creation, nothing resembles him. So when you read about the acts of Allah, for example, the Hadith of the prophets of Salaam in Allah that cannot fulfill lead if and Allah is zero in a summit in dunya. In the last third of the night, Allah descends to the to the nearest heaven
for all humans are alien for Oracle. Yeah. Hello, Mr. Fillion, and Damon for Toba Ali Helaman stuff.
Is there anyone who has a need who calls upon me and I will respond to that anyone who wants to repent and accept the repentance? Anyone who seeks forgiveness? I'll forgive them.
Some of the deviant sects they denied the meaning of this. They say it's not Allah Who says it's the Mercy of Allah.
Or is the command of Allah, Allah Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah.
We see there's no need, there's no need. There's no need to say this because Allah the Prophet, Solomon says, Allah Allah himself descends. So the reason these people rejected these Hadith and these verses is that they in their minds, they have forgotten or they have neglected the wider context laser Timothy Shea, there's nothing like Allah.
So when you affirm these attributes that are mentioned in the Quran, and the Sunnah, you don't like it a lot is creation. And this is something special about Allah, we don't know even how it is. So that's how it works. So we have to see everything in context in context and a lot of the problems that people face sometimes in religion and their application of religion is because they lack the real context they neglect or their minds, you know, grow heedless of the right and correct context. So Allah who absolutely risks, Kalima Yasha away after Allah gives an abundance to whomever he wills and he gives in limited amounts to other people,
based on his justice, based on his knowledge based on his wisdom, and also based on his mercy, that's how we have to see it will vary who will hire the dunya woman hire to dunya fill Herati in diameter, and people are happy they rejoice about you know the beauty of this dunya wherever they are given this dunya Allah subhanaw taala says whatever you have in this dunya is just compared to what you have in the Astra is just a small enjoyment. It's a small in Germany he removed the Hadith of the Prophet of Islam, he says you'll be actually added dunya Amen Yamato Yama, Yama Safina from certain wind for your call hula who ate the Highland cup for your whole life I'll be will lie in
Allah He took
the most affluent person who ever lived on Earth, lived the most luxurious life on earth, he would be brought on the Day of Judgment put in the Hellfire just dipped once 111 Dip and it's taken out.
So you're talking about less than a second, then he wouldn't be asked Allah would ask him Have you ever seen any luxury, any ease in your life to know by by Allah haven't seen anything, anything good. This in less than a second makes him forget everything about this dunya so Allah is saying whatever you have in this dunya compared to the US just a small kind of it's something on the side, you don't even pay attention to it. It's insignificant. So what Allah here is saying, you know, don't make your emotional state, your happiness and your contentment don't make it based on your conditions. Your conditions should not contribute that much to your state of being
we should not
you know, your immediate conditions circumstances should not control your emotional state or your even mental and spiritual state. Because this life is all it's all nothing, it's all nothing
see what she has said he says specifically about this
so chef certainly is saying and those who rejoice about this dunya he says these are the kuffaar these are people who deny belief in Allah subhanaw taala
and their, their kind of happiness that they have about this dunya he says follow Han Elda Balaam and the ultimate in Obeah. Well, 31 Euro with Ali Killian Sonya Odium, so their happiness about this life and about the benefits or the the enjoyment of this life caused them to be completely negligent of the hereafter.
To
because then so it absorbed them. So the point where they forgot about the effort, then Allah Subhana Allah says, the enjoyment of this life is insignificant compared to the actual. Then Allah Subhana Allah mentions he addresses some of the arguments that are presented to him to the world presented to the Prophet SAW salon by the people of courage. He says we're already in a Kaffir Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola. Hey, I met Rob. Will in Allah Hi. Oh, hello, Manisha. Well, yeah, de la human, an app. So non Muslims, they used to say, why don't you have any science and in miracles to prove your prophethood that you are from Allah subhanaw taala. And we know basically, this is a futile
argument. And the reason is, Allah has already given them so many signs, and they disbelieved in them. So when people usually ask these questions, they're not really interested. They're not really interested, especially those who have seen the signs previously, so.
So if these people claim that if they see true signs that they would believe in them, but Allah subhanaw taala is Allah's response to this will in Allah Hi Aloma, Yasha waya de la Haman and say, Allah misguides whomever he wills, and Allah guides to him,
whoever comes back to Allah, whoever takes his way, or takes away or route back to Allah subhanaw taala. So this shows part of the wisdom that when Allah guides, He guides, people who deserve guidance, people who truly deserve guidance. And in this verse, there's a beautiful benefit as well. You know, I remember a few times you have sometimes enthusiastic Muslims, I remember that one person came. And he said, especially when you know what we call an Arabic, Jazzy ilmi for the Quran and carry scientific miracles, that though the Quran predicted the scientific fact, it predicted, predicted the scientific fact, there was a hype about 10 years ago about this in the Arab world and
the Muslim world, because some of these were, and you can look at the Dow books that were printed in the last 15 years, they actually heavily, heavily dwell on these things, scientific facts in the Quran, the embryo, the development of the embryo, the mountains is pegs, the barrier between the two oceans and so on and so forth. Right. So there was a huge thing. So I remember this brother coming and say, you know, we have an opportunity to get a lot of people become Muslim, there are people that once they see this, there will be Muslim, and so on and so forth. We have to talk about these things. These are scientific theories, scientific facts have been discovered recently, they're
already mentioned the Quran, once people see this, they will have no reason not to reject Islam. There was a big hype about this big hype about this, will moderation in this sense is good. Moderation in this sense is good, if there is something that has become an established scientific fact. And we see it clearly mentioned the Quran Fine, fine, like the barrier between the two oceans. That's fine.
But we have the problem is that a lot of Muslims have exaggerated the focus on this. And what happened they started following theories, not only facts, but scientific theories to explain the Quran. And the problem is and a lot of Muslims don't know know this and a lot of new Muslims, who became Muslim probably by means of some of these, this literature as well, that a lot of these that we present are some Muslims present a scientific facts are not actually facts.
And it's still theory, there's still theory. And the problem is that we do not see the diversity within the scientific world or the scientific field, about people who have different approaches to these things like the embryology, the embryo and the stages of the embryo.
There are some serious scientific challenges to that.
There are and it's not the description of the Quran that is being challenged, but how some Muslims have interpreted this in scientific terms.
So we have to be careful. I remember there was some kind of video of someone who, who says I was Muslim, by then I also he's ex Muslim, right? So he was a convert. He hadn't been a convert. And he says, I gave up Islam later on. He says, because some of the things that led me to Islam, I figured out they were not even true.
So he mentioned the concept of embryos, the development of the embryo. So that was presented to me as scientific fact. Oh, it's in the Quran as there was in the Quran had been interpreted in scientific terms. And I've seen this it made sense to me, but it's like later on when I got more into science, I saw that this scientific theory is not a fact, has been challenged.
So of course me confusion. So that's the issue. So when we present these things, we have to be careful. And we have to be aware of their limitations, we have to be aware of their limitations and the problem, some people have taken this too far. And the scientific fact they start, they try to find it in the Quran, even if it's too distant.
And then what happens? It brings about confusion, it brings about doubt and instead of bringing about, you know, certainty and clarity,
so Allah subhanaw taala is saying here, that it's Allah who guides, it's not the signs, it's not the miracles that guide people.
Because the people of Makkah, they saw signs, they saw the moon split, they saw it with their own eyes. And yet, they found a way around it. So they said, Oh, Muhammad, he did some kind of magic to our site. So we saw the Monday that split, but it seemed to us that way, and so on and so forth. So people, they do not want to believe they will find reasons to justify why they refuse belief. And if someone is, if you look, you know, when you read the stories of reverts,
actually, you can challenge a lot of the reasons that led them to Islam.
You can challenge that. Now, especially Islam is a lot of like people will try to defame Islam, they try to present or present Islam as if it's against women. It's a, like supposedly, chauvinistic kind of religion that favors men, over women, or it's a sexist religion, and so on and so forth. But if you look at the number of the percentage of reverse, you will find the funny weighing more, and the side of women females. So if Islam is against women and favors men, why do more women logically speak Why do more women become Muslim than than men?
So what leads people to Islam is the heart is the heart. But sometimes there are mental,
some kind of blocks. And maybe sometimes with these logical reasons, or with these signs and miracles, maybe you can remove them, but unless the person's heart is really searching for the truth, these what they call miracle signs, they do not bring any benefit of their own. It's guidance from Allah subhanaw taala that makes people become Muslim or not. This is why the believers in Jana, they say it hamdulillah Hilary, Donna, we have one coin, Rena daddy, Allah, Allah and Allah and Allah, Praise be to Allah who guided us to this, had it not been for Allah, we would not be guided. So guidance comes from Allah and we have to attribute it back to Allah subhanaw taala put in the
law, your Lumia shirt we had the human and up so Allah misguides whomever he wills because they deserve it, and Allah Geister himself, whoever is fight or searching for a way to Allah subhanaw taala to the truth, then Allah clarifies who these people are, who Allah guides, a levena am and what ultimately Napo Lobo whom be decreed Allah, Allah basically Allah He taught me these are the ones who truly believe or believe believe in Allah, believing the last day we're talking about in Lobo home be the killer and the hearts feel serenity. They feel the peace, the tranquility, of upon hearing the name of Allah, upon hearing the name of Allah. And where does this tranquility come
from?
Where does this tranquility and peace come from?
Because the heart is created for Allah.
The heart is essentially created to know Allah recognize Him and love Allah. So when you give the heart what it's created, for it finds peace,
it finds peace.
So the heart will never find peace except with Allah subhanaw. Without, at all it will never find because it was designed for this, it was created for this. But when the mind blocks the heart, the heart doesn't feel it. So when you are obsessed with this life, the luxuries of this life, the pursuits of this world, you want to do more, you want to get more you want to get the next thing and so on and so forth. Your mind is busy with this, when you had hear the word of Allah, it goes into your ears, but it stops in your brain. It doesn't go into your heart and here's why you don't feel it. You don't feel it. And this is why I smiled when I found the Allahu Anhu he says
well Allah He no talk wallet Kulu buena Masha, Viet Minh kala mela is if had our hearts been been pure. They would not feel bored with the words of Allah subhanaw taala you would be reciting Quran day and night
enjoying it.
But the reason you cannot sustain that is there are things that are keeping your mind busy. So they block you from having this constant experience. Alladhina Amen. What up man? No coloboma Aquila. So the true believers are the ones that upon hearing the name of Allah, or upon hearing something that has to do with Allah subhanaw taala the hearts feel the sincerity, or the serenity and the tranquility and the peace that Allah confirms it as a fact, Allah be the Karela hit up my inaudible loop indeed, it's upon the remembrance of Allah to the hearts find peace, tranquility, and serenity. So this is a fact. This is a fact that the hearts will never find peace, except with Allah subhanaw
taala. But there are we call them Awana. There are blocks, there are things that resist that state. And as I said, when you are obsessed with this world when you're busy with this world, when something is blocking the words of ALLAH from reaching your heart, from reaching your heart, it could be so many things.
And levena ermine whammy Lusardi had your doorbell or home or hospital, but those who believe and do righteous deeds to the home for them is Toba was no mob, and the best
end or the best aborting place bloober As the scholars of FCSA it's either it means Glad Tidings good news for these people. But it also means it's a tree in paradise. It's a tree in Jannah. That is given to the believers.
I want to mention something from him not a
famous statement from Immanuel clean. And he mentioned it in different versions I mentioned I'm going to mention one of them he says in nephew Obi.
Washington
was shot.
Law you need to her while you're
in America to lie, when the habit will also be a shocker illogical. He says there is a sense of loss in the heart.
Heart is lost.
And
there's a sense of loneliness in the hearts. And these two feelings cannot be treated. They cannot be fixed, except with knowing Allah.
loving him
feeling the connection to him to and this presence and longing to see him
for things knowing Allah, loving Him, feeling his connection and his presence and longing to see him mad if at all he will Mohabbat who will also be here will show.
So nothing fulfills the heart like connecting to Allah subhanaw taala nothing. And I mentioned at the beginning of this Tafseer is that we are living in limited kind of experience in this world. We don't see everything, we don't feel everything. We don't hear everything.
And that's the test of this life. This is the test of this life. But once we die, we're going to tune into the reality of the world. So this is why on the Day of Judgment, people will see what brings them true happiness and the only way to bring true happiness is to connect to Allah subhanaw taala there's no way the hug and feel, feel happiness and peace and tranquility except by connecting to Allah and being close to Allah subhanaw taala and there's nothing, nothing. But in this kind of world we live in a delusion. So we're going to see things for what they
for not for the real state or not for the real qualities. So we will be deluded will be deluding ourselves, woman higher to dunya in LaMotta Hello, hello. And this life is merely an illusion. It is an illusion in a sense, and it dilutes our minds and our hearts. But on the day of judgment we said the most painful experience for the people of the Hellfire is not the scorching fire. It's not
the most painful thing to the people of the Hellfire is that they will be denied.
Seeing or looking at ALLAH SubhanA color in the home out of a beam Yoma even lemma hijo bone, no they are kept away from Allah they are blocked from Allah on the Day of Judgment. The Scholars say that's the most painful thing. The people of the Hellfire will suffer from
because on the Day of Judgment, as I said,
our senses do not control us. It's the reality of things. So real peace real happiness. Real tranquility can only come from being able to look at Allah's face and conversing with him and be
Being close to him, that's it.
Anything else comes comes second and the pain comes from being denied this closeness to Allah subhana wa to Allah. So Allah subhanaw taala is promising again to the people
who believes in do righteous deeds, that they would be given glad tidings, they will be given
the blessings of Allah and Paradise and they will abort their forever then Allah subhanaw taala is addressing the prophets of salaam directly you think that because Allah if you own nothing, but halogen company, her alma mater, lewrie himolla, the ohioana Ilica Welcome back following
World War Bella ilaha illa, who Anahita will kill two inhibitor, Allah is saying and thus we have sent you among a nation, which is the Arabs, Arabs in the Arabian Peninsula, we have sent you among them and before them, there has been other nations, other nations. So Allah sent to different nations Allah sent to the children of Israel. Allah sent to different nations in different parts of last month Allah says women are met in Illa Allah via leather and there is no nation except that ALLAH subhanaw taala sent to them, a warner or a messenger. So among the Arabs, among the Arabs, as Allah Subhan Allah says in surah trc in between their appointment mountain there are about five
Omaha funeral so that you may or may want to people whose fathers and forefathers were not warned. They were not reminded of a message.
So they are heedless, the completely heedless of Revelation. Because the Prophet that was sent to the Arabs prior to Prophet Muhammad SAW Salam was who was the last prophet
Ismail and his son Scylla. Ismail Ibrahim Ibrahim was sent to the Arabs and others, but it's mine was the last messenger among the Arabs.
From the time of Israel till the time of Prophet Mohammed Salah Salem, no messenger has been sent to the Arabs. No messenger has been sent to the Arabs, children of Israel, the messengers after messengers, messengers. This is why the Prophet Muhammad says cannot when we saw Elijah Susu homall Ambia Kula Mahalik anNabi bath Allah wanna begin. Now the children of Israel. They used to be led by prophets, every time a prophet dies, Allah would send another prophet, sometimes more than one prophet. That's how children of Israel had so many prophets, the Arabs, they were kept away from Revelation and what they had some remains were some remains from the religion of Ibrahim and the
religion of Ismay alayhi wa sallam was why had a lot of the rituals of Hajj were still there. Among Arabs, they used to make power off. They used to go standing out offer it to them was deliver Amina and they used to do the Jamara they did all of these things. But they added they mixed up. They mixed up things and the Arabs were upon the religion of his mane and his Salaam. And paganism was introduced to them later on by a person called
anyone knows who's the first one who introduced paganism about the last name to the Arabs
was Amal Abdullah. Hi,
I'm Jose. I'm Abdullah Haleakala is was the first one to introduce because he went to a sham
to natural Syria. And there he saw people worshipping idols. So he brought some of the idols. He brought some of the idols and he started this practice. So the Arab started taking taking it up. Before that they weren't open to it. They were open to it. These were the prophets of Salaam. So he says, he said, I saw Abdullah Hi, I'm Rob Lulu. Hi, in the hellfire, dragging his own intestine in the Hellfire light to Amber Moon Hi, finale, Joe October who?
He was the one who blemished the purity of Islam until he and the Arabian Peninsula. So the Arabs thus prophets of salaam AFISMA aid is the first prophet to be sent to them, but there were nations before and they received Prophet SAW Allah subhanaw taala saying it's actually him already Oh, hyena, a lake. And we, so we have given you revelation so that you convey the message to them. You relate these revelations to them, well, whom we are following.
And they disbelieve in Aquaman they disbelieve in Allah subhanaw taala. Now, the Arabs believed that Allah was the creator
was the sustainer you have this consistently in the Quran, Allah and Sal Toma, halacha sama what you will allow Allah if you ask them who created the heavens and the earth, they will say Allah, so the Arabs, most of them, they knew that Allah was there, but their problem was the associated partners with Allah and also they denied some of the names of Allah.
And this is what Allah subhanaw taala says were either updated Allah whom was to do with money, or Walmart Rama and as Judy Mata Marana was the homophobe.
Well, when it is said to them prostrate before a man, they denied that name. This is whose man we don't know.
We don't know. And we're not Allah. That's it. We just know Allah. We don't know, man so denied some of the names and attributes of Allah subhanho wa taala. Then Allah Subhana Allah says to the Prophet commands, and he says Paul, who are B say He is my Lord. And now we have to make this distinction. Rob And Isla, Rob literally means Lord, creator, sustainer provider, the one who's in control, the one who's in charge, Lord,
Allah is the one who's worshipped, the one who's worshipped. Now they have exclusive meanings. But when Rob comes in the Quran, by itself usually takes both meanings, means both Creator, the Sustainer the Lord, and the one who deserves to be worshipped, especially when it's attributed to Allah. And Allah, the same Illa the one only one who has the right to be worshipped, also it means
automatically it implies Lord. So Allah has commanded the prophets of salaam to say who are up be say, He is my Lord, and he's the one that I worship. That's what it means.
La ilaha illa who no one has the right to be worshipped. No one has the right to be worshipped but him or li hito were killed to what led him
upon him, I rely and depend. And my repentance will be to Allah so Allah combines here between two things that were hate a robe Obeah and two headed arrow here to hate of Lordship to hate of worship, because they are connected. We said, this is the theme of the surah it's connecting both. So I like it our cult is to huddle room Obeah I rely on Allah because I know he's in charge. I know he runs there first. We're in a meta my tilbyr is an act of worship so this Tauheed of worship in find this in the Quran? Yeah, can I put well yeah can stain on you we depend
that's the head or Ruby Yeah. To HaTorah will be that I rely on Allah to hidden away. What year are ya can to stay in? It's your help. Oh, yeah. Sorry. Yeah. Can I board? is the head of worship to handle louia We worship you alone? Well, yeah, can to stay in. It's your help that we seek to hate a robe. Obeah can find them always in the Quran because they are connected. They're one. And once you separate them that's, that's a that's a fallacy. That's a fallacy. Logically, it's a fallacy. And as a reality is a fallacy, because the only one who deserves to be worshipped is the creator and is the sustainer.
Then Allah subhanaw taala addresses shows that these people even if we give you signs, they will not believe if they are not destined to believe one na Quran and Sunnah euro to be eligible
to be held, although I will call Lima be hidden.
And even if we sent down a Quran, with which the mountains are made to move, even if we sent a Quran that's going to move mountains,
out to Asheville, or if we sent the Quran that would cut the Earth, the crust of the earth
or a Quran that gets the dead to speak.
And here there is something that we call a jasmine Bellary. There's a there's here a linguistic miracle in the Quran. And that's one of the most profound in our styles in the Arabic language.
Allah says, I'm going to try to translate as literally as possible. And if
there was a Quran with which the mountains would be moved, and the Earth's crust would be cut, and the dead would be made to speak.
Then Allah stops
if a Quran was sent like this, I would do this and do that and do that. Then Allah stops that Allah says Ben Lilla in Amarillo Jamia indeed, all the affairs belong to Allah all the affairs are in the hands of Allah.
So when you read it first upon reading it, you see oh, there's an incomplete sentence. And if there is a Quran that makes the mountains move, and it cuts the earth, and it gets the dead to speak.
All affairs belong to Allah.
What's the point?
What's the point?
And
in Arabic,
this is a very profound style, in the sense Allah has wanted to add now, the amorphous theory and it was caused us to see this a Hoonah jawab have a shot. This is it's like how
Have a statement and it has a completion. But the completion is not even mentioned. Because it doesn't deserve to be mentioned.
The this is why they say job sharply at the end of the statement of the statement is implied. You understand that you figure it out without it being mentioned, because it doesn't deserve to be mentioned, doesn't deserve to be mentioned. So, the full statement would be well over an operand three years behind jiba to output that Bill Oakley, maybe Hill mountain.
And had there been a Quran with which are which moves the mountains and cuts the earth and gets the dead to speak. They would not believe
they would not believe this statement is not mentioned. Why?
Because Allah
deems it and this this in this point, unworthy of even mentioning that is so obvious that doesn't need to be mentioned.
Bella and Umbral Jamia indeed all affairs are in the hands of Allah. Everything is in the hands of Allah. And in this context, what it means even their belief is in the hands of Allah.
Even their belief is in the hands of Allah. So it's not about science. It's not about miracles. Okay, belief is a gift from Allah subhanaw taala. Somebody might say, well, this belief is a gift from Allah and everything's in the hands of Allah. Doesn't this show that? You know, people believe or disbelieve, because Allah chose for them that?
Isn't that there? Somebody could raise this question. We say No, Allah has made it consistently, you have to see the wider context again, in the Quran, Allah makes it clear that the only ones who deserve to be guided,
are the only ones who are guided are the ones who deserve to be guided, as simple as that Allah does not do injustice, Allah doesn't do injustice.
And by the way, there is something about guidance, and there is something about other that we humans do not understand.
There is something we do not understand.
And that's a test of faith.
That's a test of faith. Because if we understand all the workings of other, you know, we would be gods, we would be gods, but Allah has given us enough. Allah has given us enough to make us believe
to make us mean this is why asking too many questions, sometimes excessive questions is problematic, is problematic. And that's the, you know, the duality of the mind and the heart, the mind and the heart. A lot of people think that belief comes from from mental conviction. No, a bliss knows that Allah is there. In bliss knows there is Paradise and the hellfire, a bliss knows,
you know, all the things that we believe in as Muslims as well and even much more because he saw that he saw that. Yet this did not make him believe this did not make him a believer, because he did not take it to heart.
He did not take it to heart. So we have to realize that faith, faith is in the heart is not in the mind. It's not in the mind. People can be convinced. Actually, no one goes into the Hellfire unless these people the signs have been established for them. They know Islam is the truth they know Allah is that Allah is the only one who has the right to be worried as the right to be worshipped and they went against it.
No one's gonna go to the Hellfire unless they do this.
No one who doesn't know anything is just going to go to the alpha, why am I going to the alpha? Now they know why they go into the alpha.
So the issue is not in mental knowledge.
It's not in mental knowledge. Faith is in the heart. And then the mindfulness.
Bell, will Allah Hill Unruh Jamia so guidance, the reality of guidance is actually a mystery. It's from Allah subhanaw taala. But we have to trust that Allah is going to guide those who deserve to be guided. Allah is not going to do injustice regardless.
Flm ye I see Latina Armen alo your shirt hola hola had a NASA gymea actually, let me see what she has said he says about about this before we move on.
So
Imam said the thing here that we have sent you to people, when previous nations have received messengers is that you are not something new. The fact that Allah sends messengers, this has been the norm to all the nations. So there's nothing wrong with you being mentioned are being sent to your people. This has always been the norm so they have no point when they question this
Okay
so Allah subhanaw taala saying anyways pretty much the same of what we said. Allah Subhan Allah saying Flm ye se Latina M and O Allah we are sha Allah who led the NASA Jamia don't
the
Allah is mentioning a fact don't
the believers sometimes lose hope
that
people will not going to be guided. Allah is not going to guide everyone
does this happen?
This is according to some of a sudden they say like the believers try to convey the message like the prophets and the messages. And the question like they have made the signs clear. Why are these people not accepting faith?
Another group of amalgam of Assyrian they say it's not about hope here. He says,
the believers should come to the conclusion they should know
that if Allah wanted, he would have guided everyone. Allah can guide all humanity. Allah can guide all humanity. But Allah subhanaw taala has made this life a test. He's made it a test and he has given us choice. He has given us choice. So he allowed people either to be guided or be misguided and he has given them the ability to choose by the way, some of them have a serene, they say this is the reality of the word Khalifa. Because Allah subhanaw taala had assaulted baccarat for example, when he mentioned the story of the creation with Karla Rambo Khalil mela Hickety in Niger I don't fill out the Khalifa Allah said to the angels that I will place on earth Khalifa
that's what Allah said to the angels I'm going to place on earth Khalifa
the immediate response of the angels was what?
Attend your annual fee when you see the fee ha WASC could Dima on and on also behind the camera look at this like are you going to place on Earth? Those who will create mischief for sad and corruption and will shed blood? When we angels no seven behind behind deck we praise and glorify your greatness
when we got this hula can we glorify you we celebrate your your glory
so how did the angels tell because the only clue Allah gave them is the word Khalifa. I'm gonna place on earth a Khalifa I'm going to create khalifa to be on an Earth on earth. How did they figure out from the word Khalifa that this creation is going to bring about mischief and corruption and is going to shed blood? How did they figure out?
How they figured out the word Khalifa itself implies choice.
Because everything in the universe follows the Command of Allah. They have no choice. The sun has no choice one has no choice. The galaxies have no choice. planets, stars, everything in this universe. Even angels have no choice. They have not. Angels have no gnosis of choice, by the way. Very soon, Allah humma amerihome Wait, I know what a minute maroon, they do not disobey Allah wherever he commands them, and they only do what they are commanded.
Angels do not initiate. They just respond to commands. Everything in the creation, the rain, it falls because it's a command. The wind blows because of a command from Allah. It just follows the command. Everything this universe follows a command, who's given the choice in this universe in this creation, to creatures, humans and so in the angels when Allah told them, I'm going to place a Khalifa, they figured out from the word Halifa that I'm gonna give them choice whether to obey me so they can
be upon the right path and everything will be okay. Or they can opt out of my obedience. And once they opt out of Allah's obedience, the angels figured out if someone doesn't follow the Command of Allah is going to go into mischief is going to create trouble. So they figured out automatically it wasn't rocket science. It's so obvious, because Allah says, I'm going to create a creation and I will give them choice either to follow my command on my word, or to opt out of it to follow something else. So they figured out if people are if some any creation is given choice if they opt out of Allah's commands,
there will only be corruption. So they figured this out
So this is what Allah Samantha was saying.
Isn't it like, it should be, it shouldn't be obvious should be clear to the believers that if Allah wished, so he would have guided everyone, but Allah has given choice.
So sometimes you might say, why don't people feel guided? These people seem to be good? Like why aren't they guided? There seem to be so many evil people, right? What is Allah just guide everyone? And sometimes we Muslims face this question. If Allah is so merciful, Allah knows some people are going to end up in the hellfire. What is he created the creation?
Right?
Let's see, if Allah knows some people are going to end up in the hellfire, what is he created creation. They're trying to imply there is no mercy.
But these people want to Allah to function according to their limited minds.
Allah Samantha has already created a whole universe that was following this command. But Allah created a new type of creature, a new type of creature, something new, and this new type of creature was humans and Jen and they were able to make choices. This was and you think, to all the creatures,
and it shows Allah's ability to create something different.
And even though Allah is the one, he's, he's an Hakeem. So he's the one who runs the universal he's the one who gives commands. But Allah decided to create a creation. And Allah decided to give them a circle or a bubble of choice, where they are given even the choice to choose other than Allah's command for them.
That's great wisdom, as a great wisdom, and Allah says they choose for themselves, they choose for themselves.
What could be more, what could be more just than this? What could be more just than this?
Allah has showed the rules of the game, he has offered them clearly at the beginning. Here, Allah has like made it open and clear to everyone. That's what your life is all about.
The conditions are clear, you're going into a game you get into a contract, these are all the conditions. And not only These are conditions written and so on so forth. They even instilled in you their built in you in your very system in your footwork that are built in you. And not only I make them clear, I also send you a revelation to remind you of all these things.
Yet people choose some people choose to be or to opt out of this. So Allah Subhan Allah saying, if Allah willed saw he would have guided everyone, but this would go against his wisdom of creating some kind of creation that will make choice and deal with the coins consequences of its own choices, that Allah Subhana Allah says what is already in a Kaffir Oh to say, boo hum Bhima Sana Acharya tune out the whole logarithm in Darien had to word allah and those who disbelieved is still hit by one calamity after the other one disaster after the other, or
it hits near them. Why? Because all of these are reminders. Still, these people refuse this, they choose disbelief. They refuse faith in Allah, they refuse the truth. Still, Allah Subhana Allah sends them reminders, one after the other one after the other one. And we started this surah by saying that everything in this universe, if you really see it for what it is, it points you to Allah subhanaw taala it leads you to Allah subhanaw taala so sometimes Allah says something that is harsh, something that is destructive, something that is painful, to cut through the thick layers of our consciousness because we're not paying attention. So Allah sends a calamity sure weeks of people.
Still a lot of people are heedless. Still they refuse to listen to the truth or to follow the truth until the Promise of Allah comes which is the day of judgment. And the Day of Judgment. We said it starts individually which is death man, Mata Ahmed br moto as the Prophet says, whoever dies his piano, his last day has started. So that's the individual piano and there is the ultimate piano, which is when mica ale blows in the horn. He blows in the in the horn, and that's when the day of judgment is announced.
In the law had aycliffe When we had indeed Allah subhanaw taala does not break his promise does not break his word, Allah is going to make his word come true. Truth is truth, even if people deny it is not going to cancel the truth.
So just focus on the truth the truth has a power of its own. Even if people deny it, that doesn't change anything. The truth, these universal truths will always stand there regardless of our opinion of them. Then Allah Subhana Allah console's the Prophet size numbers by seeing what are the stories the Bureau's bureaus with him in public? So I'm late to the Latina Cafaro with whom to whom the kefir Can I call up and messengers Prophets were sent before you they were ridiculed previously, so they
is the norm of the people who refuse faith. They're going to you, they will resort to mockery, they will ridicule you, they will make fun of you, they will make you look like a fool, they will make you look like stupid today they make you look like a terrorist and make you look like backward person, they make you look as anti human, and so on and so forth. But this is all a delusion. This is this is a some kind of, of an illusion, and a lie a massive lie that they clearly create around things. But it doesn't have any merit of its own doesn't have any power of its own. So, people have been ridiculed or messengers, and the people of the truth will always be ridiculed. You will be
ridiculed for what you believe in for the tenants of your faith for the legislations and your faith so on and so forth. They will be ridiculed. But who are people ridiculing them
as blind people who don't see their own weaknesses, their own defects their own mistakes?
So Allah Samantha says for Emily to leadin, aka for autumn to home so I've given space I've given time. I've given time for those who disbelieved those who ridiculed prophets and messages, we did not * them straight away. Allah says we give them time. And later Allah we give them time we let them survive, let them live.
Let them live. There are two reasons First,
it allows them and gives them more time so they could reflect and maybe come back.
Number two,
if they insist on falsehood, okay, during this time, they will do more falsehood, they will get more immersed in the falsehood. So when the punishment of Allah comes, they they deserve it fully. So why the prophets Allah Salam says, in Allah Allah whom Lilia vollem Allah subhanaw taala, and there's an oppressor someone who does good, bad, ALLAH SubhanA. Allah gives them time. Allah gives him time allows him to stay, allows him to stay stay in stays is why sometimes people say, Oh, if a bad person is so evil, like Michelle said, it's good, so many people, hundreds of 1000s of people, why doesn't Allah just take him away? Allah has wisdom, He, Allah doesn't take people straight away.
He leaves them. So the processor says in the law, hello human in the valley me had either a whole new fleet who? That Allah Subhana Allah gives space and gives time for people who do bad people do evil for oppressors. But when the time comes, and Allah takes them, that's it. That's the end.
That's the end.
For Emily to Lily Nikephoros. Omar has to home for Kiva Can I call so the previous messengers that were ridiculed, they will mocked by their people, and I've given them time. But then, when my word came, I took these people away the evil people away, and how was My punishment? You could see my punishment was severe. And there's a beautiful statement that I read from a non Muslim but it makes so much sense that Allah is not
hastened by our sense of rush.
Sometimes in our small minds, we want justice to be established now, but Allah sees beyond that, Allah's wisdom and tells that things remain as they are for the time being.
Because there is so many wisdoms coming from this but we are unable to perceive them and see them
and
then the last one and it says FM and who are called immune Allah Colleen FCMB Micah seven let me see if there are other indications from Shira Sadie.
I hope the mic caught this so we're going to hear it
anyway No no issues
Okay, pretty much what we said in both of them both of the books here. Then Allah Subhana Allah says FM and who are called him on Allah acqualina FCMB Marchesa but was your alula He showed aka Apple some more home I'm gonna be on a hobby man I
am before him mineral coal belt originally lived in Oklahoma, Oklahoma, so do unnecessary warming
Lily Lahore from her home in her last wanted her saying, he is referring to himself saying is the one who is standing in judgment upon every soul. So that means Allah subhanaw taala would that make him on AquaLine FCMB Marcus, that means Allah is standing upon every soul. Allah is observing and watching everything every person does. Every person is Allah is watching that and keeping a record of it. And Allah is going to pay them back was going to pay them back. So Allah is going to hold everyone to account that shows the Allah's Lord, He's Rob, and that shows the vast knowledge of Allah that He knows everything, everything about you personally. And imagine how many humans there
are throughout the times, till the end of time. Allah knows everything Allah knows what you reveal, and he knows where you can see Allah knows everything about you. So Allah is standing somehow in like, in judgment upon you. So Allah, Allah, Allah has recording everything, Allah is keeping everything in record, and Allah is gonna pay you back and Allah is going to treat you based on what you do, based on how you behave in this world, and in the next because there are sins that are punished in this world,
either fully or partially. And the ultimate justice will be established on the Day of Judgment. So there are things that Allah does not keep their punishment fully for the for the day of judgment, but Allah gives some of the punishment in this world. As from the prophets, I send them that Allah, some of the
some of the sins are actually punishable even in this world from Allah Subhana Allah like or Corporal validate. Allah does not keep the full punishment, till the Day of Judgment button, Allah bring some of the punishment in this world before the day of judgment or Google reality. This is why if someone is not good to their parents, you're hardly going to find someone who's actually doing well in life. If they are not good with their parents. It's it's extremely hard. And if someone is bad to their parents, and they are leading, seemingly a good life, this is actually a very bad sign that Allah wants to keep the punishment for them in the hereafter. Fully in the hereafter and that's
actually a very bad sign.
So Allah subhanaw taala is watching every soul and is going to pay back every soul what they have done. And then Allah is making
an exclamation here and an objection about the people of disbelief what your annual Allah He shall aka so if Allah is observing every soul and his controlling of resort, and his word, he keeps everything in record and he's going to pay back every so how come these people and not only this by the way, I'm on Isla colinas as well I'll call him from a ume Alcon
is the one who sustains the one who provides one who gives life of a human is the one who sustains and provides and takes care care of the affairs. So he say Allah under the saying here, that he is the one who sustains and runs the affairs of every soul of every human being every creature
and then these people make partners associate partners to Allah subhanaw taala in worship was the only Allah he shoulda can and then they associate partners with Allah subhanaw taala they love them as they love Allah, they worship them as they worship Allah subhanaw taala so Allah is saying, what did these people did these rivals or these associates? What did they do? How do you put them in this place? That Allah says hold some more? Name them name these rivals that you have associated with Allah to name them? What have they done?
Do they deserve worship?
Are they real Lord so they you direct your worship to them? Then Allah Subhana Allah is saying I'm gonna be owner Hobbema Allah Allah morphine or the umbrella Hanuman out, or do you have some knowledge that Allah doesn't know? Like there are other creators that are created other than Allah He doesn't know of and you guys know of and you need and Allah needs you to inform them about them.
See the fallacy of what people will associate partners with Allah do
wholesome mom I'm gonna be when I will be My Allah Allah muffle Criminal Code, what you guys are trying to do you have some knowledge that you're trying to tell Allah that he doesn't know
and below him mineral coal Oh, you're trying to are you just making a statement? That's obviously wrong. Then Allah subhanaw taala saying benzathine A little lady in a cafe aroma ko home was so do unnecessary. Know the plotting
of those who disbelieve in Allah has been beautified for them, as we said, the ways of people are always beautified to them was a you know, normal shape on Malla woodsey In a normal shape on a man hub, and she found beautifies the the works of people for themselves. And I've done a great thing. I've done the right thing, I've done this, I've done that what I'm doing it actually has some benefit. Yes, I might be causing some damage. I might be doing some injustice. I might be doing something haram but I'm, I'm doing it for a good reason. So you find the justification to beautified that's the work of Satan. So Allah is saying, Bell Xuyen Atilla Deena Cafaro macro home. So all this
plotting on all this deception of the disbelievers is actually a has been beautified to them by shaytan. And by their own minds was so do Ansible and they have been kept away from the true path. They've been kept away from the truth, the true path by whom, by Shavon. And by their deception on by this beautification, by this beautification one may young lady LA who for man or woman, and whoever Allah and His guides, no one can guide them. And I said previously and repeat this again. The ultimate justice of Allah entails that when Allah says that him his guides, basically he leaves people to go astray.
Because all Allah needs to do for someone to go astray. He just takes away his guidance. He doesn't offer them that his guidance, that's it. Without Allah, we will all go astray. So we are automatically going astray except if Allah gives us His guidance. So when we say Allah is guys, that means basically Allah leaves these people to themselves. Allah leaves them to themselves.
So when Allah subhanaw taala leaves someone to themselves, no one is going to guide them. Because guidance comes only from Allah subhanaw taala when we say Allah gives his guidance, to whomever, or to whoever deserves it, will Levine atado the home holder at our home taqwa, those who chose guidance, those who are guided alone, increase them in guidance.
The home other Boonville hayati dunya, they will have punishment in this life in this worldly life. They will have punishment.
They might be having, you know, happy moments, they might be having moments of joy, they might be leaving leading seemingly easy life, happy life, happy life. But these people live in pain, that have been hardship because we said the truth to live life fully you have to be connected to Allah. If you miss on the main part of this life, the main purpose behind this life which is to connect to Allah and worship Him and love Him and live this life in Love of Allah subhanaw taala you cannot get the full spectrum of the taste of this life No way. No way this way to me Elohim Allah to Allah He said in the dunya Allah Jana in epidemiology numb and let me call wholemeal congenital Asha, there
is a Jinnah in this life, the one or anyone who fails to enter it will not intergender in the hereafter.
What's the stigma is the peace, the tranquility in the heart, which comes from knowing Allah being obedient to Him. So these people are living happy lives if they are distant from Allah subhanaw taala they might be having happy moments, they might seem to enjoy their lives. But there is a deep seated pain and emptiness and vacuum that is torturing them.
Because they are not living life fully. They're not fulfilling what this life is all about. Now my dad wanted hated dunya and this life they will have pain and torment whenever they will feel it a shot.
And the punishment of the accurate of the Hereafter is much more painful and stressful.
When my Allahu Minh Allah He may work and there is no one to protect them from Allah.
There is no one to protect them from Allah in this life and in the hereafter. But in this life, Allah young Lila whom Allah Israel allows them time and space than the hereafter there is no time.
There is no time they're going to be given the Do you know recompense based on their actions and no one will protect them from ALLAH SubhanA water we will stop here in sha Allah
