This is the 6th Class of the Tafseer of Surah Ar-Ra’d by Sh. Moutasem at the Abu Huraira Center.
2017-06-10 – Ramadan 2017
Mahia to a bear that in Emma here
in the Mahir muhabba the reality the essence of worship is love, love from Allah Spano Tata. And we're not to take the full context of what that means. It means love of Allah subhanaw taala with a traveling with feeling the sense of all towards the greatness of a loss of Allah which is associated with fear, which is associated with fear. But the essence the very essence of the meaning of worship is Allah muhabba which is love, love of Allah subhana wa tada and we mentioned that even Tamia quotes, diverse and soulful, bacala woman and NASA Miguel de la he
who take partners of the associate partners, or rivals, the assigned rivals to Allah subhanho wa Taala. They love them as much as they love Allah. Then Allah subhanaw taala says, we're living in Amman, I should I should do humble Allah. And the believers, the ones who believe in a lot, they love a lot more. They love a lot 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 Risa laughing in my head. And it's been taken out of his mind that was printed separately as Risa lotman film a handbag treatise 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 lecrae did this whole universe, he trace it, he traces it back to love, back to loving Allah subhana wa Tada.
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 Subhana Allah to Allah, Allah denio funa via de la, Luna Mita. We said, these are all Al Bab. These are the people, we said, Look, is the heart of something is the core of something and these are the people with sound hearts, because somebody, somebody, 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 Shafi Rahim, Allah tada one of his beautiful arguments that he used to often teach his students would be mainly about the difference between alpha mu alpha and Sam, when he would say alhfam as you can understand, you can understand what the statement means you can understand what the statement means. He says this is alhfam. But it is that you understand the intent of the speaker or the writer. So it is deeper than mere mere understanding. It's you get the intent of the speaker or of the intent of the
writer. This is what a lot more than that says. So Maddie, how old Mila Cardona is Kahuna DITA what's wrong with these people if
they do not have fear of what has been said? We know the Arabs have boyish 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 a lot describe the movement 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, the relatives who have rights upon them.
And they fear a loss once they feel 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 a lost 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 anyone who's been who believed in a law 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 a Lost Planet Allah which is to be truthful, to worship Allah subhanaw taala alone. And thus, these people will spread around corruption and mischief, although it seems to be something good. Well, either Peter lahoma tuxedo fieldly Paolo in Amman and almost no one has insulted and what 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 this is what a lot of Medina says, okay, delicacy inadequately met in Amala. 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 are we doing good? We're doing good, are we 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, 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 tofield 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 criterion is what we have is in a way the Quran the book of Allah and son of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam if what you do does not follow the Koran and the authentic Sunnah of the prophet SAW Selim and how the companions of the Prophet SAW Selim and a tad bit in and Tabby tab 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 the knockoff that he said I shouldn't do you been
insane haha Will you be here Allah He should, from the worst defects of human beings of man from the worst defects of man is that is unable to see his own mistakes, is 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 last month, last month, Allah says
Allah we absorb the risk, but he may Yesha way up there. It's Allah subhanaw taala will give us 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 or understood from the context, like we mentioned previously, that when someone says Luma, Yeshua, Yeshua, Allah, you know, guides, whomever, he wills, and he misleads or misguides, whoever or misguides 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 a lot larger context of this is when a lot of my daughter says in Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah,
Allah Subhana Allah 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 wanted 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 is why they take part of the core part of the sun and they leave another part that provides context and that clarifies it
So for example, in the names and attributes of last manner, they said, If you confirm that our manual allows us to whether Allah rose above the Throne, that means a lion needs to rest on a place.
But we know last month and I said there's a wider context for this laser can miss lee, there is nothing like Allah who has any reversal, and he is the old hero.
So when you affirm the names and attributes of Allah subhanaw taala, you're not lightning Allah, to his creation. Allah is completely different from his creation, nothing resembles him. So when you read about the acts of love, for example, the Hadith of the Prophet SAW Selim in the law that kind of thought of a leading effort and ally is in a summer Indonesia. In the last third of the night, Allah descends to the to the nearest heaven
for all humans or aliens, or aka. Hello, Mr.
Ali.
Is there anyone who has a need who calls upon me and I will respond to that anyone who wants to repent and accept their 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 descends. It's the mercy of Allah.
Or is the command of Allah, Allah to allow Allah
we see there's no need, there's no need. There's no need to say this because Allah, the prophet of Allah says, Allah, Allah Himself this sense. 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, they second cliche, there's nothing like a lot.
So when you affirm these attributes that are mentioned in the Quran, the sooner 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 Allahu episodul risk alima Yeshua Allah gives in 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. We're 30 who will hire to dounia woman hire to dounia fill it in, and people are happy, they rejoice about you know the beauty of this dunya wherever they are given them this dunya Namaste. Allah says whatever you have in this dunya is just compared to what you have in the axilla it's just a small enjoyment. It's a small enjoyment he removed the Hadith of the Prophet SAW Selim, he says, you'll be accepted into a mini or multi master scenario from San Joaquin de
la vida halen.
Viva La to
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 to ask him. Have you ever seen any luxury any ease in your life said no. But by haven't seen anything. Anything good. This, you know less than a second makes him forget everything about dystonia. So let's sing whatever you have in this dunya compared to they're just a small kind of, it's something on the side, you don't even pay attention to it. It's insignificant. So what a lot 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.
I see what she has said he says specifically about this.
So chef said 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 LG Bella home and the ultimate in your behalf without further warning. Well, delicately enough signing audience. So their happiness about this life and about the benefits or the about the enjoyments of this life caused them to be completely negligent of the hereafter.
Because them so it absorbed them to the point where they forgot about the FL and then last month Allah says the enjoyment of this life is insignificant compared to the axiom. Then Allah Subhana Allah mentions, he addresses some of the arguments that are presented to him to the world presented to the profit source and then by the people of Quraysh. He says, We are already in a Kaffir Ola de la la I
will in Allah hi Illumina Misha de la human and I'm 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 Las panatela. And we know basically, this is a few time 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 they see true signs that they would believe in them. But Allah subhanaw taala has a large response to this well in the La Jolla little omega, where de la Haman and say, alarmists, guides, 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 Allah jazzy me for onigiri scientific miracles, that though the Koran predicted this 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 and local on 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 see, you know, we have an opportunity to get a lot of people become Muslim, there are people because 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'll have no reason not to reject Islam. There was a big hype about this big hype about this. Well, 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 before, on 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 problem. 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 or 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 of 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 Koran 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 the way, and I also he's ex Muslim, right? So he was a convert. He had 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. She was presented to me as scientific fact. All it's in the Quran is the wisdom the Quran have been interpreted in scientific terms. And I've seen this it made sense to me. But he said 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 hold on, even if it's to this distance.
And then what happens? It brings about confusion, it brings about doubt 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 Mecca, 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, Mohammed,
he did some kind of magic to our site. So we saw the moon did not 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, and if you look, you know, when you read these 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 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 reverts, you'll find the funny weighing more, and beside 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 their 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 why they believe is in general. They say of having to rely levy Adana, we have a woman, Lena, Lola and
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. So Allah subhanaw taala, put in the law, your little omega shirt where de la human and so Allah misguides whomever, he wills because they deserve it, and a lot guys do himself, whoever is fight or searching for a way to a las panatela to the truth, then olark verifies who these people are, who Allah guides, Allah Vina Armand, what Optima in Oh boo boo home victory, la, la, la, he taught me these are the ones who truly believe, who believe believe in Allah, believing the last day or a couple more in a lobotomy. decorilla 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?
What is this tranquility and peace come from?
Because the heart is created for Allah.
The heart is essentially created to know Allah recognizing and love Allah. So when you give the heart when it's created for a finds peace,
it finds peace.
So the heart will never find peace except with a loss of power 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 this is why you don't feel it. You don't feel it. And this is why when I finally allow, he says, will law he lo por la Aloo
buena Masha Viet Minh columella is if had our hearts been been pure. They would not feel bored with the words of Allah Subhanallah you would be reciting Quran the 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 Harmon What am I in no Colombe tequila. So the true believers are the ones, that upon hearing the name of Allah, or upon hearing something that has to do with a loss of the hearts feel the sincerity, or the serenity and the tranquility, and the peace that Allah confirms it as a fact, and be the karela heat up my job indeed, it's upon the remembrance of a lot of the hearts find peace, tranquility, and serenity. So this is a fact. This is a fact that the heart will never find peace, except with a loss penalty.
But there are we call my wife, 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 Arman huami lusardi had it all by Allah Hamas, Noma those who believe and do righteous deeds to the law home for them is Toba, warehouse, Noma hub, and the best

He says there is a sense of loss in the heart,

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 too. 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 manifest and live on mohabbat, who will also be here will show what he learned. So nothing fulfills the heart like connecting to almost
nothing. And I mentioned at the beginning of this stuff here 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 How can field feel happiness and peace and tranquility except by connecting to Allah and being close to Allah Spanner. 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 their real state or not for their real qualities. So we will be deluded will be deluding ourselves, woman higher to dunia. ilimitado and this life is merely an illusion. It is an illusion in a sense, and it deludes our minds and our hearts but on the day of gentlemen, 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 a loss Montana, Canada in the home Albania even lemma jubu know 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 Alice's face and conversing with him and be
close to him, that's it.
Anything else comes come second and the pain comes from being denied this closeness to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah. So Allah subhanaw taala is promising again to the people
who believe in do righteous deeds, that they would be given glad tidings they will be given
the blessings of a lion paradise, and they will abort their forever. Then the last one to Allah is addressing the prophets of Salaam, Derek, do you think that he can also like if you own metal, but haltman probably have Amanita trovare himolla do hyena Laika wakamiya Coronavirus
de la ilaha illa Allah Hito Cal to LA Mata la Singh and thus we have sent you among a nation which is the Arabs, Arabs in the Arabian Peninsula who have sent you among them. And before them, there has been other nations, other nations. So Allah sent to different nations and last sent to the children of Israel. Allah sent to different nations in different parts of last month, Allah says what aminomethyl illa halophila. There they are, and there is no nation except the last one that I sent to them, a warner or a messenger. So among the Arabs, among the Arabs, as a loss of asceticism sort of the scene between the Roman man the robber for Hamas, you know, so that you may or may warn
a people whose fathers and forefathers were not warned. They were not reminded of a message.
So they are heedless, completely heedless of Revelation, because the Prophet was sent to the Arabs prior to Prophet Mohammed Salim was who was the last prophet?
This marine and he said, it's made a boy and Brahim was sent to the Arabs and others, but its main was the last messenger among the Arabs.
From the time of summer until 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 President says cannot when we saw Elijah Susumu ambia Kula Mahela, can I be back again? Now the children of Israel. They used to be led by prophets every time a prophet dies alone and 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 Brahim and the religion of Islam a alayhi wa sallam
was way ahead, a lot of the rituals of Hajj were still there, among Arabs used to make tawaf they used to go standing out of his home was Delica, 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 Ishmael and he 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 abnormal. Hi,
I'm Jose. I'm in Ohio, Jose is was the first one to introduce because he went to a sham
to natural Syria and that 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 Arabs started taking taking it up. Before that they weren't open to me. They were open to it is one of the profitable items he says. He said, I so I'm gonna do the Hi, I'm Rob Lulu. Hi, in the Hellfire, dragging his own intestine in the Hellfire, light Rambabu high finance, rock turbo.
He was the one who blemished the purity of Islam until he and the Arabian Peninsula. So the Arabs does prophets I send them after this man. He's the first prophet to be sent to them, but there were nations before and they received prophet so last month I think it's Lu la Mola, do hyena illig. And we, so we have given you a revelation so that you convey the message to them. You relate these revelations to them. Well homea Coronavirus and they disbelieve in man 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 insha Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, if you ask them who created the heavens and the earth, they would say Allah. So the Arabs, most of them they knew that Allah was there, but their problem was they associated partners with Allah. And also they denied some of the names of Allah.
And this was last month and it says what Allah has to do with
Paloma Rama. And as Judy mata morona was the homophone
When it is said to them prostrate before a man, they denied that name. This is who's out of man we don't know.
We don't know. And we know Allah, that's it. We just know Allah. We don't know, man. So the nine some of the names and attributes of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Then Allah says to the Prophet commands, and he says, Paul, who are a BC He is my Lord. And now we have to make this distinction. Rob and Ella herb, 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 is worshipped. Now they have exclusive meanings. But when Rob comes in the arm 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 prophet or something to say, boo or 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 with him, or Leto or killed, or LA Mata. upon him, I rely and depend and my repentance will be to Allah so Allah combines here between two things to hate a robo BIA and to hate to hate of lordship to hate of worship, because they are connected. We said this is the theme of the song is connecting both. So la Hito occultist Okay, Dora, Bobby, I rely on Allah. Because I know he's in charge. I know he runs there first. What up? metab? My tober is an act of worship. So this to head of worship and find this in the Koran? Yeah. cannabid Well, yeah, kind of stain. on you. We depend.
That's the head of a movie. Yeah. The Halo movie that I rely on Allah to hide away. Well, yeah, yeah. can stain. It's your help. Oh, yeah. Sorry. Yeah. Can I would is to hate of worship to hidden Oh, here. We worship you alone? Well, yeah, kind of stain. It's your help that we seek to hate Robbie, can you find them always in the arm 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 that will not believe they are not destined to believe what Nepal earned three years to be healed the bamboo output to be healed, or Bo Lima be healed.
And even if we sent down a call on with which the mountains are made to move, even if we sent a Koran that's going to move mountains,
out to activated, or if we sent the Quran that would cut the earth, the crust of the earth,
or I've got on that gets the dead to speak.
And here there is something that we call a judgment, banality. There's a there's here a linguistic miracle in the world. And that's one of the most profound in all styles in the Arabic language.
Allah says, I'm going to try to translate as literally as possible. And if
there was a problem with which the mountains would be moved, and the Earth's crust would be cut, and the dead would be made to speak.
Then the law stops.
If a Koran was sent like this, I would do this and do that and do that. Then Allah stops then Allah says, Bella amo Jamia? Indeed, all the affairs belong to Allah, all the affairs are in the hands of Allah.
So when you read it up first upon reading it, you see Oh, there is an incomplete sentence. And if there is a Koran 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 of loss wanting to know the morphus theory and what causes to see they say punakha jawab. This is is like 100
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 shopping at the end of the state 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, unknowable. And three years behind gbl output they had been Colima big mountain.
And had there been a Koran 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 at this in this point, unworthy of even mentioning. It is so obvious that doesn't need to be mentioned.
Bella Bella and Emerald Jamia indeed all efforts 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, 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 that 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,
or the only ones who are guided are the ones who deserve to be guided, as simple as that a lot does not do in justice, a lot 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 al Qaeda, you know, we would be got, we would be gods, but Allah has given us enough. Allah has given us enough to make us believe,
to make us feel 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 hearts in mind and the heart. A lot of people think that belief comes from from mental conviction. No, it blease knows that Allah is that it believes knows there is paradise and the Hellfire Iblees 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. It's 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 allies that Allah is the only one who has the right to be where has the right to be worshipped, and they went against it.
No one is going to go to the Hellfire unless they do this.
No one who doesn't know anything is just going to go to the hellfire. Why am I going to the Hellfire now they know where they go into the alpha.
So the issue is not in mental knowledge.
It's not a mental knowledge. Faith is in the heart. And then the mindfulness.
Bell, Bell, Lila Hill, Ambrosia Mia. 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. I was not going to do in justice regardless
Flm me I see livina Armin olalia shirt or LA Honda had a NASA gymea actually let me see what she has said he says about him about this before I move on.
So
remember said is saying here that we have sent you to a 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 lots of analysts saying anyways pretty much the same of what we said last month that is saying Flm ye se Latina Armando Lucia en la, Lucha NASA Jamia? Don't
the
Allies mentioning effect don't
the believers sometimes lose hope
that
people not going to be guided or lost not going to guide everyone.
Does this happen?
This is according to some of us in in they say like the believers trying to convey the message like the prophets and the messages and the question like they have made the science clear, why are these people not accepting faith?
Another group of Mangal Mufasa and 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, luck and guide all humanity. Allah can guide or humanity. But Allah Subhana Allah 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 hanifa because Allah subhanaw taala sort of Baccarat For example, when he mentions the story of the creation. With color on bucola Piketty in Asia I don't fill out the honey for Lhasa today the angels that I will place on earth halifa
that's what the law said to the angels I'm going to place on earth halifa
the immediate response of the angels was what?
attend your annual fee menu of CDFI how wasteful could deema ananassa be home depot conditions opendnssec Are you going to place on earth? Those who will create mischief, facade and corruption and it will shed blood. When we angels the assembly hall behind it we praise and glorify Your greatness.
When the sooner can we glorify you, we celebrate your your your glory.
So how did the angels tell because the only clue Allah gave them is the word halifa. I'm gonna place on earth leave I'm gonna create halifa 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 it's 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 no angels have no sense of choice, by the way, very soon, aloha Amala amerihome wave marone they do not obey 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 when the angels are lots of them, I'm going to place a halifa they figured out from the word halifa that I'm gonna give them a 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 that 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, so obvious, because Allah says, I'm going to create a creation and I will give them choice either to follow my command and 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 a last month I was saying.
Isn't it like, it should be, it should be obvious should be clear to the believers that if Allah wished saw, he would have guided everyone that allows given choice.
So sometimes you might say, Why don't people feel guarded? These people seem to be a good, like, why aren't they guided? They seem to be so many evil people, right? What is it? What is good everyone? Sometimes we Muslims face this question. If Allah is so merciful, a lion or some people are going to end up in the Hellfire, what does he create the creation?
Right?
They say if Allah knows, some people are going to end up in the Hellfire, what is he created the creation. They're trying to imply there is no mercy.
But these people want to a lot of function according to their limited minds.
Allah subhanaw taala 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 engine 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 is, is that Hakeem, so he's the one who runs the universe, he's the one who gives commands. But Allah decided to create a creation. And the law decided to give them a circle or a bubble of choice, where they are given even the choice to choose other than our last command for them.
That's great wisdom. That's 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 Justin this.
Allah has showed the rules of the game. He's 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 get 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, and your very system and your footwork that are built in in you. And not only I make them clear, I also send you a revelation to remind you of all of these things.
Yet people choose some people choose to be or to opt out of this. So last month of the saying, If Allah willed so he would have guided everyone. But this would go against his wisdom of creating some kind of creation that will make a choice and deal with the consequences of its own choices that are lost pounds. Allah says what a azzaro Lydian aka for all to say boom be masaoka tune out the Holo koreeda mindat he had to de la and those who disbelieve they 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 refused. They choose disbelief. They refuse faith in Allah, they refuse the
truth. Still a lot of other lessons them reminders one after the other one after the other one. We started this show 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 said 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 so wakes up people. Still a lot of people are headless. Still, they refuse to listen to the truth or to follow the truth until the promise of a law comes which is the day of judgment. And the Day of
Judgment. We said it starts individually which is death man matter of karma Yamato as the professor 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 Mika he 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 a play for me I had Indeed Allah subhanaw taala does not break his promise does not break is where the loss 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. The last one to add that consoles the Prophet size numbers by saying what are the stories he
builds with him in public for me lately larina kefalos home to home suceava can I call up and messengers prophets were sent before you they were ridiculed previously. So this
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. You make you look like stupid today, they make you look like a terrorist and make you look like a 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, 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'll be ridiculed,
for you believe in for the tenets of your faith for the legislations in your faith, so on and so forth, they will be ridiculed. But who are people ridiculing them?
blind people who don't see their own weaknesses, their own defects, their own mistakes.
The last one to this is family to Little Endian aka far away from home. So I've given space I've given time. I've given time for those who disbelieved. Those were ridiculed profits and messages. We did not * them straight away. Law says we give them time and lead to Allah we give them time we let them survive, well 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 false or they will get more immersed in the falsehood. So when the punishment of a lot comes they they deserve it fully. So why the Prophet sallallahu Sallam says in Allahu Allah you only have
a last minute Adam, there's an oppressor someone who does go bad. A loss of Ansar Allah gives them time. Like give some time allows him to stay allows him to stay stay in stays. This is why sometimes people say or for bad a person is so evil, like Michelle said is good, so many people, hundreds of 1000s of people, why does Allah just take him away? Allah has wisdom he, Allah doesn't take people straight away.
He leaves them. So the professor says in the law, only the volume he had either had a whole new fleet who Allah Allah gives space and gives time for people who do bad people do evil four presses. But when the time comes, and a light takes them, that's it. That's the end.
That's the end.
For Emily to live in a conference room, I have to home forgive a camera. So the previous messengers, they were ridicule, they were 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 can 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 allows wisdom entails 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
forgive the last one and it says FM and waka mo Allah Coleen fcmb maka seven Let me see if there are other indications from sheer Sadie
I hope the mic caught this so we'll get into it.
No, no. No issues
Okay, pretty much what we said in both of them both of the books here. Then the last one Tyler says as a man who are counting on Allah aquilina fcmb Marchesa but what do you alula he Shoraka apples and Moon home I'm gonna be owner Obama moving out. And before hearing mineral coal, ballerina Latina aroma Chroma pseudo anniversary, woman
ukulele learner who formerly lost wanted to sing, is referring to himself saying is the one who is standing in judgment upon every soul. So that means Allah subhanaw taala would that mean quite human adequately and fcmb Mercosur, but that means a lot of standing upon every soul. Allah is observing and watching everything every person does. Every person has Allah is watching that and keeping a record of it. And Allah is going to pay them back. I was going to pay them back. So I was going to hold everyone to account that's shows, the Lord has a rub. 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, the Lord knows everything about you. So Allah is standing somehow in, like, in judgment upon you. So a lot of us recording everything a lot is keeping everything in record, and Ally's gonna pay you back and laws gonna 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 prophet SAW Selim, that Allah some of the
some of the sins are actually punishable even in this world from Allah Montana, like or cuckoo LED, Allah does not keep the full punishment, till the Day of Judgment button, a lab brings some of the punishment in this world, before the day of judgment, or poker, while they, 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 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 a lot of Allah 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 jalila he Shoraka? So if Allah is observing every soul and his controlling of resort, and he's what 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, Mr. aquilina, says well apart from a Doom, and con
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's saying Alexander is 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, which Allah He Shoraka and then they associate partners with Allah Spano. tala, they love them as they love Allah they worship them as they worship Allah subhanaw taala So Allah is saying, What did these people What did these rivals or these associates What did they do? How do you put them in this place? The law says you name them name these rivals that you have associated with Allah named them What have they done?
Do they deserve worship?
Are they reload so they you direct your worship to them? Then our last one that is saying em tuna? Una habima Allah Allah fill out the umbrella 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 ally needs you to inform them about them.
See the fallacy of what people will associate partners with Allah do
put some more I'm trying to be Obama Allah Allah movie of the Criminal Code. What you guys are trying to do you have some knowledge that you are trying to tell a lie that he doesn't know.
And we've all had a meltdown or you're trying to are you just making a statement? That's obviously wrong. Then last month I was saying Bella z in a little lady in a cafe Roma ko home. So do we know the plotting
Have those who disbelieve in Allah has been beautified for them, as we said, the ways of people always beautified to them was a you know, lahoma shavon
shavon
shavon beautifies the the works of people for themselves have done a great thing. I've done the right thing I've done this often 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 wrong. But I'm, I'm doing it for a good reason. So you find justification to beautified that's the work of Satan. So Allah is saying Bell's una de la Dena cafaro macro home. So all this plotting on all this deception of the disbelievers has actually has been beautified to them by shaytan. And by their own minds, what should do and is Serbian and they have been kept away from the true path. They've been kept
away from the truth, our true path by whom, by shavon. And by their deception on by this beautification, by this beautification woman, a young lady law who have a man or woman had an ever alarm, 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 he has 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 his guidance, that's it. Without Allah, we will all go astray. So we are automatically going to stray except if Allah gives us His guidance. So when we say alarm is guys, that means basically a lot of these people to themselves, Allah leaves them to themselves.
So in the last panel to
leave 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, when levena todo the Buddha,
those who chose guidance, those who are guided alone, increase them in guidance
llamada booneville hayati dunia, 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. They live in 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 along 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 is why me I'm allowed to Allah He said in feduni Allah Jin, initiative epidemiologia numb and let me help me.
There is a gin in this life, the one or anyone who fails to enter it will not intergender in the hereafter.
What's the stillness, the peace, the tranquility in the heart, which comes from knowing a lot being obedient.
So these people living happy lives, if they are distant from the last minute Allah, they might be having happy moments, they might seem to enjoy their lives. But there is a deep seated pain, an 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 I'm here to dunya and this life, they would have pain and torment, whenever there would feel it a shot.
And the punishment of the athlete of the Hereafter is much more painful and stressful.
When I'm in alignment, walk 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, human Lila home Allah Israel allows them time and space and the hereafter there is no time.
There is no time to get to be given their Do you know recompense based on the actions and no one will protect them from Allah. So plan on what we will stop here in sha Allah.
And because there's a new kind of shift now in the argument
and inshallah next time which is tomorrow, we will finish insha Allah, we will finish so lots of light, any questions
and you any questions?
