00:00:01 --> 00:00:03
			In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			the Most Merciful.
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:04
			Praise be to Allah.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			Peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
			Allah, his family, his companions, and those who
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:10
			follow him.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			O Allah, teach us what will benefit us,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			and benefit us with what You have taught
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			us, and increase us in knowledge.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			Indeed, You are the All-Knowing, the All
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:17
			-Wise.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			O Allah, we ask You for sincerity in
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			speech and deeds.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			O Allah, grant our souls piety and purity.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			You are the Best of those who purify
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:26
			them.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			You are their guardian and their protector.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			O Allah, we seek refuge in You from
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			a heart that does not fear, and from
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			a knowledge that does not benefit.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			And from a tearful eye, and from a
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			supplication that will not be answered.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:45
			So we continue with Surat At-Tur.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50
			And most likely you caught the announcement.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:01:00
			A few requests came through that as the
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:05
			time changes, 8.30 for the halaqa is
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			going to be actually way into the night.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			Because soon maghrib will be at 4 something.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			So to have the halaqa at half past
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			8 is quite late.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:21
			Yeah, so after some consultation we decided to
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			do what we did actually last year.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:29
			To have the halaqa at 6.45 until
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33
			7.45 which is the adhan of isha.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			So hopefully inshallah, I hope that this works
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			for everyone and it's not too late and
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			it's not too early.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			Inshallah ta'ala.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			I understand it might not be convenient for
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:42
			everyone.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			But again we try our best.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			But 8.30 to start the halaqa is
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			a little late when it comes to the
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			winter time.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			So we continue.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			Allah subhana wa ta'ala describes the state
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			of the mutaqeen in jannah.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			So Allah describes some of the blessings that
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			He has prepared for them in jannah.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			Like how they are going to enjoy the
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:18
			na'eem which is a life of bliss.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			A life of tranquility.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			And na'eem al-jannah is dhahir wa
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:24
			ba'd.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:32
			The bliss in jannah is inner and outer.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			So there is the inner experience.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			And that's the greatest reward in jannah.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			It's the sweetest thing in jannah.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			It's the inner experience.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			What you call psychological.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			It's more spiritual.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			So the hearts are in a state of
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:47
			bliss.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			Not only the bodies.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:49
			The hearts.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			And that's more important.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			And the highest pleasure the people of paradise
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:59
			get is being able to look at Allah
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			subhana wa ta'ala.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			That's the highest pleasure in jannah.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:08
			The other blessings that are more of a
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			physical nature are at a lesser degree.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			The same thing.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			The punishment of the people of the hellfire.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			The punishment of their hearts.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			The pain that they experience in their hearts.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			Because they are being distanced from Allah subhana
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			wa ta'ala is greater.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:30
			The agony they experience from being distanced from
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			Allah and denied access to Allah is more
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:36
			painful to them than the fire burning their
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:36
			skin.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41
			Because the reality of the humans is their
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			heart.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:48
			And Ibn Tamir says, نعيم القلب أعظم من
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			نعيم البدن وشقاء القلب أعظم من شقاء البدن
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:57
			ولكن أكثر الناس سكارا بخمر الدنيا He says,
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			the pleasure of the heart is greater than
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			the pleasure of the body.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			And the pain and agony of the heart
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:07
			is greater than the pain and agony of
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:07
			the body.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			But people are intoxicated with the dunya so
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			they don't realize it.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			And one of the salihin said, الناس سكارا
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:20
			فإذا ماتوا إنتبهوا People are intoxicated.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			People are intoxicated.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			They are sleepwalking.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			When they die, they wake up.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			The irony is when you die you wake
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			up but again, ولا تحين من دمات It's
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			too late by then.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			So the people of Jannah are in نعيم.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:41
			فاكهين And we said فاكهين from فكهة It's
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			something of a pleasant nature.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			فاكهة which is the fruits is very pleasant
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:46
			to eat.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			The experience is beautiful.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			On top of the nutrition so it's called
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:56
			فاكهة And this is why jokes, pleasant jokes,
		
00:04:56 --> 00:05:04
			decent jokes are called فكهة Something similar to
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:04
			this.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:14
			قهوة قهوة in the Arabic language If you
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			read the books of fiqh of the old
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:21
			times, you would come across statements like والقهوة
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:31
			حرام القهوة حرام So what is قهوة?
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:36
			Coffee Today we say قهوة is coffee.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			So is coffee حرام?
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			Who's drinking coffee now?
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			Is قهوة حرام?
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			No But the books of fiqh of the
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			past if you read in them, you would
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			find that they would list a number of
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:59
			drinks that are حرام From them are القهوة
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:04
			Add you another more Another gift والبوضة حرام
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			What's البوضة?
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:14
			We call ice cream today بوضة So what
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			is القهوة?
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18
			القهوة in the Arabic language Any drink that
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:24
			you consume for good mood So القهوة was
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:30
			mainly applied for alcohol For booze For juice
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:36
			If you want the proper words So القهوة
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			means in the old days They didn't have
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:45
			the coffee beans What they had was actually
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			the alcohol So القهوة in the old books
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			of fiqh is alcohol Alcoholic beverages The same
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			applies to البوضة البوضة is a type of
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:59
			wine But today the Arabs started using البوضة
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:05
			for ice cream Ice cream So this is
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			why it's important to understand the difference in
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			the language Sometimes people would get a statement
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			from a book That is a thousand years
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			old And they would apply it to the
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:19
			word as according to its contemporary meaning That's
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			not wise That's not how it works And
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:27
			this happens a lot Okay وَوَقَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ عَذَابَ
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			الْجَحِيمِ كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا هَنِيًا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ وَالتَّكِئِينَ
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			We said they are reclining and they are
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:37
			relaxing and enjoying themselves Then Allah describes their
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:44
			spouses Then we continue here Verses 21 to
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:48
			28 Beautiful verses here قَالَ الْإِمَامِ السَّعْدِ رَحْمَ
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:52
			اللَّهُ تَعَالَى قَالَ تَعَالَى وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَاتَّبَعَتْهُمْ
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:57
			ذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ بِإِيمَانٍ أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَمَا أَلَتْنَاهُمْ
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			مِنْ عَمَلِهِمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ كُلُّ مْرِئٍ بِمَا كَسَبَ
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:05
			رَهِيمٍ وَأَمْدَدْنَاهُمْ بِفَاكِهَةٍ وَلَحْمٍ مِمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:09
			يَتَنَازَعُونَ فِيهَا كَأْسًا لَا لَغْوٌ فِيهَا وَلَا تَأْثِيمٌ
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:15
			وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ غِلْمَانٌ لَهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لُؤْلُؤٌ مَكْنُونَ وَأَقْبَلَ
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:18
			بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ يَتَسَأَلُونَ قَالُوا إِنَّا كُنَّا قَبْلُ
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:23
			فِي أَهْلِنَا مُشْفِقِينَ فَمَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَوَقَانَا عَذَابَ
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:27
			السَّمُومَ إِنَّا كُنَّا مِنْ قَبْلُ نَدْعُوهُ إِنَّهُ هُوَ
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			الْبَرُّ الرَّحِيمُ وهذا من تمام نعيم أهل الجنة
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:35
			أن ألحق الله بهم ذريتهم الذين اتبعوهم بإيمان
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:39
			أي الذين لحقوهم بالإيمان الصادر من آبائهم فصارت
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:43
			الذرية تبعا لهم بالإيمان ومن باب أولى إذا
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:51
			تبعتهم ذريتهم بإيمانهم الصادر منهم أنفسهم فهؤلاء المذكورون
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:56
			يلحقهم الله بمنازل آبائهم في الجنة وإن لم
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:00
			يبلغوها جزاء لآبائهم وزيادة في ثوابهم ومع ذلك
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:04
			لا ينقص الله الآباء من أعمالهم شيئا ولما
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:08
			كان ربما توحم متوحم أن أهل النار كذلك
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:13
			يلحق الله بهم أبناءهم وذريتهم أخبر أنه ليس
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:17
			حكم الدارين حكما واحدا فإن النار دار العدل
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			ومن عدله تعالى أن لا يعذب أحدا إلا
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:23
			بذنب ولهذا قال كل مرئ بما كسب رهين
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:27
			أي مرتهن بعمله فلا تزر وازرة مزر أخرى
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:32
			ولا يحمل على أحد ذنب أحد هذا اعتراض
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:39
			من فوائده إزالة الوهم المذكور وقوله وأمددنا أهل
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:43
			الجنة من فضلنا الواسع ورزقنا العميم بفاكهة من
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:48
			العنب والرمان والتفاح وأصناف الفواكه اللذيذة الزائدة على
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:52
			ما يتقوتون ولحم مما يشتهون من كل ما
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:59
			طلبوه واشتهته أنفسهم من لحم الطير وغيرها يتنازعون
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:03
			فيها كأسا أي تدوروا كاسات الرحيق والخمر عليهم
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:08
			ويتعاطونها فيما بينهم وتطوف عليهم الولدان المخلدون بأكواب
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:12
			وأباريق وكأس لا لغو فيها ولا تأثيم أي
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:17
			ليس في الجنة كلام لغو وهو الذي لا
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:20
			فائدة فيه ولا تأثيم وهو الذي فيه إثم
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23
			ومعصية وإذا انتفى الأمران ثبت الأمر الثالث وهو
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:29
			أن كلامهم فيه سلام طيب طاهر مسر للنفوس
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:35
			مفرح للقلوب يتعاشرون أحسن عشرة ويتنادمون أطيب المنادمة
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:39
			ولا يسمعون من ضبهم إلا ما يقر أعينهم
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:43
			ويدل على رضاه عنهم ومحبته لهم ويطوف عليهم
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:47
			غلمان لهم أي خدم شباب كأنهم لؤلؤ مكنون
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:51
			من حسنهم وبهائهم يدورون عليهم بالخدمة وقضاء ما
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:55
			يحتاجون إليه وهذا يدل على كثرة نعيمهم وسعته
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:59
			وكمال راحتهم وأقبل بعضهم على بعض يتساءلون عن
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:04
			أمور الدنيا وأحوالها قالوا في ذكر بيان الذي
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07
			أوصلهم إلى ما هم فيه من الحبرة والسرور
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10
			إنا كنا قبل أي في دار الدنيا في
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13
			أهلنا مشفقين أي خائفين وجلين فتركنا من خوفه
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:18
			الذنوب وأصلحنا لذلك العيوب فمن الله علينا بالهداية
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:26
			والتوفيق ووقعنا عذاب السموم أي العذاب الحارة الشديد
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:34
			حره إنا كنا من قبل ندعوه أن يقينا
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			عذاب السموم ويوصلنا إلى النعيم هذا شامل لدعاء
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:42
			العبادة ودعاء المسألة أي لم نزل نتقرب إليه
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			بأنواع الغربات وندعوه في سائر الأوقات إنه هو
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:49
			البر الرحيم فمن بره بنا ورحمته إيانا أنالنا
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:56
			رضاه والجنة ووقعنا سخطه والنار This is part
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			of the perfect bliss of the people of
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			Paradise Allah will cause to join them their
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:04
			offspring who follow them in faith Allah will
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			cause these offspring to reach their parents' level
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			in Paradise even though their deeds were not
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			sufficient to reach their parents' level as an
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:15
			increased reward for their parents moreover that will
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			not detract from the good deeds of the
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			parents in the slightest because some may imagine
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:22
			that the same is applicable to the people
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			of * and that Allah will cause their
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:27
			offspring or parents to join them Allah tells
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			us that the rulings governing the two realms
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			are not the same * is the realm
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			of justice and part of Allah's justice is
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37
			that he does not punish anyone except for
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			his own sin hence he says every person
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			is held in pledge for what he earns
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:45
			so no soul will bear the burden of
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			another and the sins of one person will
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			not be borne by another this is adding
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:52
			a further comment in order to remove any
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:55
			misunderstanding and we will provide them that is
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			we will provide to the people of Paradise
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:01
			from our abundant bounty and provision fruit such
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:05
			as grapes, pomegranates, apples and more types of
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:09
			delicious fruits that are essential for nourishment and
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			meat such as they desire for all that
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			they may request and want such as the
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:16
			flesh of fowls and other kinds of meat
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:19
			there they will pass around a cup that
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			is cups of nectar and wine will circulate
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			among them and they will pass them to
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			one another and immortal servant boys will circulate
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:30
			among them with cups of jugs cups and
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:33
			jugs which will not lead to any idle
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			talk or sin that is there is no
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:38
			idle talk in Paradise which is talk in
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:43
			which there is no benefit and there will
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			be no sin which is that in which
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:49
			there is disobedience to Allah as these two
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			things are ruled out a third matter is
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:54
			proven which is that their talk in Paradise
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:57
			will all be good and pure bringing joy
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			and happiness to hearts and souls they will
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:02
			treat one another in the best manner exchanging
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04
			the best conversation and they will not hear
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:07
			from their Lord anything but that which will
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			bring them delight and will indicate that He
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			is pleased with them and loves them there
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:14
			will circulate among them servant boys of theirs
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:18
			as if they are pearls carefully guarded because
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			of their beauty they will go around to
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:23
			serve them and meet all their needs this
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			is indicative of many abundant blessings and perfect
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			comfort they will turn to one another with
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31
			questions about the affairs of the previous world
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			and what happened they will say describing what
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			brought them to this place of joy and
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:38
			happiness in which they find themselves when we
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:41
			were living before in the previous world among
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:44
			our kinsfolk we were afraid of Allah's punishment
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:47
			that is we were afraid and apprehensive so
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:48
			we refrained from sin out of fear of
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:52
			Him and we corrected our faults therefore Allah
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			was gracious to us and He guided us
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			and protected us from the punishment of the
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			scorching fire that is the punishment of severe
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:02
			heat verily we used to call upon Him
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			before asking Him to protect us from the
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07
			punishment of the scorching fire and cause us
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:10
			to attain bliss this includes the supplication of
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:13
			worship and the supplication of asking in other
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			words we kept trying to draw close to
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			Him by doing all kinds of acts of
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:20
			worship and calling upon Him at all times
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:23
			verily He is the Beneficent, the Most Merciful
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			and part of His beneficence and mercy towards
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:29
			us is that He caused us to attain
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			His pleasure and reach Paradise and He protected
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			us from His wrath and the fire of
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:39
			* SubhanAllah these few verses like the things
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:45
			in them to unpack are so unbelievable but
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:46
			we will try just to sort of touch
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:59
			on them inshaAllah first notion those
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			who have done righteousness those who have believed
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:07
			and their progeny, their children their family members
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:11
			that followed their footsteps that followed their path
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:14
			they joined them in Iman and Faith we
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:18
			will reunite them in Jannah together and not
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			only that if the parents are at a
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:24
			higher level than the children Allah will elevate
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:28
			the children to join their parents a blessing
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:32
			for the children because of their parents Allah
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:37
			does not want even a hint of or
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:41
			a wish for the parents that is not
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			being fulfilled to have their children with them
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:47
			in Jannah and Allah says in Surah Ar
		
00:16:47 --> 00:17:06
			-Ra'd Wallahi
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:12
			if you just see this scene it should
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:19
			pull you to Jannah because Allah says they
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:24
			will enter those gardens and whoever was righteous
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:29
			the believers from their parents or their fathers
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:33
			or their forefathers or their mothers so you
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:39
			would be reunited with your family members your
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:44
			parents so imagine you are in Jannah and
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			you have your parents with you not only
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:49
			your parents but your children the whole family
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:55
			gets together وَمَن صَلَحَ مِنْ أَبَائِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجِهِمْ their
		
00:17:55 --> 00:18:02
			wives or their spouses وَذُرِّيَاتِهِمْ and their children,
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:05
			their progeny, their grandchildren as well that just
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:09
			adds to the beauty of Jannah adds to
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:12
			the beauty of Jannah and not only that
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:16
			وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ يَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ كُلِّ بَابٍ angels are
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:20
			entering upon them from every door سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:22
			they will say peace be upon you what
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:25
			a blessing that you are in سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:29
			بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ so peace be upon you look
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:33
			at this beautiful life that you have and
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			you received it because of what?
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:39
			because of your patience in the dunya because
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			you put up with the dunya because you
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			put up with the commands of Allah you
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:50
			remain steadfast فَنَعْمَ عُقْبَ الدَّارِ what a best
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:53
			reward, what a best end of this whole
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:58
			story so subhanAllah with many of the righteous
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			they pointed out they would say that sometimes
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			if I don't feel motivated to worship Allah
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:05
			properly or if I am tempted to fall
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			in sin and I feel that I'm about
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:11
			to fall into it and I can't hold
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:15
			myself back I remember these verses I say
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			if it's not for my own sake at
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19
			least for my family's sake so that we
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:25
			are united again in Jannah and subhanAllah there
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			is a place, a special heart a special
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:30
			place in the heart for the family it
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:33
			just compounds the effect of Jannah and the
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			beauty of Jannah to realize that you can
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:39
			enter Jannah with your loved ones subhanAllah so
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:42
			that's what Allah SWT is referring to and
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			Allah wants you to taste it Allah wants
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			you to see what's in Jannah wants you
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:52
			to experience it viscerally in your gut by
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:55
			bringing the fact and the possibility that you
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			can be there with your loved ones with
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			the ones that you love the most the
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:02
			ones that are closest to you and if
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			they are not with you at the same
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			rank Allah will elevate them and this happens
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:12
			both ways the children can as well pull
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:16
			their parents upwards a husband can pull his
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			wife upwards a wife could pull her husband
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:21
			upwards what a beauty, right?
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:24
			what a beauty, subhanAllah that's like the countless
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:27
			blessing the infinite blessing and mercy of Allah
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:36
			subhanAllah the fact that your loved ones are
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			elevated to the same status or you are
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:40
			elevated to the higher status of your loved
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:45
			ones does not take away from their blessings
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:49
			or your blessings because Allah gives from himself
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:54
			but the bottom line is everyone is bound
		
00:20:54 --> 00:21:00
			by their earnings their deeds so this does
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:03
			not save children if they enter the hellfire
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			but it elevates the ranks if they make
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			it to Jannah so first there is the
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:12
			first test that you have to pass is
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			to make it to Jannah then the dynamic
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:17
			applies but if someone ends up in the
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			hellfire and say okay maybe we can elevate
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			them to the lowest level in Jannah it
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:24
			doesn't apply across like there's no cross contamination
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			there's a separation only applies to the people
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			who enter Jannah why?
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			because if there is injustice it needs to
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			be purified it has to be purified in
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:36
			the hellfire because in Jannah we said that
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:40
			many times no element of evil enters Jannah
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:45
			there's only absolute good there's only absolute good
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:48
			and this is why Allah says لا يسمعون
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:53
			فيها لغوا ولا تأثيم even idle talk meaning
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:57
			pointless language doesn't even exist in Jannah there's
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:03
			only proactive good beautiful good, beneficial good that's
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			the only thing that exists in Jannah you
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:08
			know the utopia that people think about the
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			highest form of utopia that's a longing for
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			Jannah by the way that's why you will
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:15
			find it in all cultures there's this idea
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:18
			of utopia like this ideal world where there's
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:22
			only good even neutral doesn't exist in Jannah
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:29
			everything is just good and that shows وَكُلُّ
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:33
			مُرِئٍ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينَ that means you can't
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:37
			count on any considerations other than your own
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:39
			good deeds you have to make it to
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			Jannah you have to do your best obviously
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:42
			Allah enters you into Jannah but you have
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			to offer your best you have to do
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:48
			your best you have to strive until when?
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:52
			until your last breath that's the only strategy
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:56
			available to you anything else could mean that
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:59
			you miss out on it and you don't
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:04
			want to take risks وَأَمْدَدْنَاهُمْ بِفَاكِهَةٍ وَلَحْمٍ مِّمَّا
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:07
			يَشْتَهُوا so we offered them فاكهة again here
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:10
			is mentioned again فاكهة و لحم so the
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:13
			scholars say لحم is nutritious food and فاكهة
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:16
			is more for pleasure it's not necessarily sought
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:19
			for its nutritional value but for the experience
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:23
			still there is benefit in it but it
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			is sought first and foremost for the experience
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:29
			for the pleasant experience يَتَنَازَعُونَ فِيهَا كَأْسًا لَا
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:32
			لَغْوٌ فِيهَا وَلَا تَأْثِيمٌ so they are again
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:36
			competing over beautiful drinks from Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:39
			ta'ala and then Allah describes the servants
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			the male servants who are serving the people
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:46
			in Jannah Allah says they are like like
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:50
			pearl they are shiny, beautiful and attractive like
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:54
			pearl وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَأْلُونَ so Allah
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:57
			takes us deeper into the casual conversation of
		
00:23:57 --> 00:24:00
			the people in Jannah the people in Jannah
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03
			will actually remember their days in the dunya
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			and they will have a conversation about their
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:07
			past you know sometimes when we sit together
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			and start remembering you remember when we were
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:12
			kids remember what we did remember when we
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:17
			stole the candies from the store remember so
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:20
			all of this stuff you find the people
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:21
			of Jannah will actually remember the days of
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			the dunya and they will talk about them
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:27
			so one of these conversations would be وَأَقْبَلَ
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:30
			بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَأْلُونَ قَالُوا إِنَّا كُنَّا قَبْلُوا
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:33
			فِي أَهْلِنَا مُشْفِقِينَ so they would remember that
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:34
			in this dunya they were in a state
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:39
			of fear we always feared should we end
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:42
			up in the hellfire we were always concerned
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:45
			about pleasing Allah SWT giving him his rights
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:48
			so this was a major concern a major
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			concern in their life it was always present
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			and this should be the state of the
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:55
			believer and subhanallah أَبْدَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ خَوْفًا بَعْدَ خَوْفِهِمْ
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:59
			أَمْنًا so Allah if you are afraid if
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:01
			you are scared of Allah's punishment in this
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:06
			dunya that yields eventually safety but if you
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			feel safe when it comes to the punishment
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10
			of Allah that might yield what?
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:17
			infinite fear and pain in the on the
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:22
			day of judgement فَمَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَوَقَانَا عَذَابَ
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:26
			السَّمُومِ so Allah blessed us Allah favoured us
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:30
			مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَوَقَانَا He protected us from
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:35
			the scorching punishment of the scorching fire مَنَّ
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:38
			اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا subhanallah look at this is the
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:39
			mindset of the people of Jannah they don't
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:44
			take credit for their actions who got them
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:45
			into Jannah?
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			they didn't say our actions didn't say oh
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:51
			we did very well right I strove hard
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			I woke up at night I recited Quran
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			I did a lot of dhikr I gave
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:59
			out a lot of sadaqah that's why I
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			made it no they say فَمَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:05
			it's Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala who favoured
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:09
			us and blessed us with this as in
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:12
			surah believe it or not قَالُوا وَقَالُوا الْحَمْدُ
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:15
			لِلَّهِ people of Jannah وَقَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:19
			هَدَانَا لِهَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَ احْتَدِيَ لَوْ لَأَنْ
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:23
			هَدَانَ اللَّهِ all praise and thanks and credit
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:26
			belongs to Allah who guided us to this
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			had it not been for Allah we would
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:32
			not be guided and the companions of the
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			Prophet salallahu alaihi wasalam as they were digging
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			the trench you know al khandaq before the
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:40
			battle they would say وَاللَّهِ لَوْ لَا اللَّهِ
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:43
			مَا احْتَدَيْنَا وَلَا تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلَا صَلَّيْنَا had it
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:44
			not been for Allah we would not have
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:47
			been we would not have prayed we would
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:50
			not have been guided we would not be
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			guided we would not pray we would not
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:56
			give sadaqa but it's Allah's blessings so they
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:57
			don't take credit and that's the believer and
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:01
			this gives you attabah this gives you this
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			humility before Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			one of the things the scholars always warned
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:07
			against especially the companions and the early generations
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:12
			is al ajb self admiration if you admire
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14
			your actions you say I'm better than others
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16
			even if it's just between you and yourself
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			I'm better off than others I'm doing more
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:23
			than others I wish people see how good
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:27
			I am that's a clear sign that you
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:33
			are not in good shape if you feel
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:36
			satisfied with what you do then you are
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:40
			undermining what Allah truly deserves the fear of
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:42
			the believer is that they know that Allah
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			deserves way more than what I can give
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:48
			so this is why you're always fearful of
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:49
			falling short and you know you will always
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:54
			fall short but this is why you're relying
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:59
			on Allah's mercy you're relying on Allah's mercy
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:07
			the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says I
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:12
			cannot give you your due praise I can't
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:16
			I can't praise you and describe you as
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:19
			you truly are the only one who can
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:23
			describe you and praise you accurately is yourself
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			so you can never give Allah what he
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:30
			truly deserves so this is why scholars would
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:32
			say something like your best is not enough
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			your best is not enough and that's why
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:36
			the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:39
			an authentic hadith لا يدخل أحد إلى جنة
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:42
			بها مدهي no one is going to enter
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:45
			Jannah because of their actions your actions will
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			not get you into Jannah they're not enough
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:49
			they're not enough to get you into Jannah
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:51
			so you prayed all of the five daily
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:54
			prayers never missed a prayer all your life
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:57
			you fasted all the Ramadans you read the
		
00:28:57 --> 00:29:00
			Quran many times let's say once every 10
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:03
			days you read the Quran and you'd pray
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:06
			3 hours every night and you would give
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:08
			Zakah and you would give Sadaqah and you
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			made Hajj and you would do Umrah and
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:11
			you are kind and you are gentle and
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:14
			you're nice right?
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:18
			still you won't make it to Jannah and
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:19
			the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:22
			the hadith about a man from Bani Israel
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:26
			previous nation the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:31
			said عبد الله ستين عاما he worshipped Allah
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:36
			60 years على جزيرة on an island he
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:39
			fasts the days and he prays the whole
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:44
			night so he worships Allah all his waking
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:50
			hours nothing else nothing else then he died
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:53
			the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says when
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:54
			he is resurrected on the day of judgment
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he is brought
		
00:29:56 --> 00:30:00
			before Allah so Allah assesses his actions Allah
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:05
			says أدخل عبدي لجنة برحمتي let my servant
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:09
			into Jannah because of my mercy so the
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:11
			servant thinks of the 60 years of hard
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:15
			work he says بل بعملي يا رب he
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:22
			says oh Allah by my actions Allah is
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:33
			just فيؤتى بنعمة البصر فتوضع في كفة ويؤتى
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:40
			بعمله فيوضع في كفة الأخرى فتطيش نعمة البصر
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:46
			بكل أعماله so his eyesight only the blessing
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48
			and the gift of eyesight is put on
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:51
			one side of the scale and all of
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:53
			his good deeds are put on the other
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:57
			side of the scale and the eyesight the
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:00
			blessing of eyesight outweighs all of his actions
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:03
			by far so when he sees this he
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:06
			says يا ربي برحمتك now with your mercy
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:10
			I enter Jannah so that's the reality that's
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:13
			a moment of truth so the believer should
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:16
			always be conscious and aware of this you
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:18
			enter Jannah by the mercy of Allah subhanahu
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			wa ta'ala but you need to do
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:23
			your best to earn Allah's mercy and then
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:25
			the rankings on the day of judgment in
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:27
			Jannah once you enter Jannah then the rankings
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:31
			are figured out based on the actions here
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:33
			the actions start to count in terms of
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:39
			degree so always refer give the credit to
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:40
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Allah says he
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:47
			has some beautiful statements in madarj salikini when
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:50
			he talks about tawbah he says people think
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:54
			that when you make tawbah that you started
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:57
			or initiated tawbah but you don't know it
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:00
			you did not initiate tawbah Allah started the
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:04
			tawbah Allah started the tawbah and because Allah
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:07
			started the tawbah you went through the experience
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:12
			of tawbah you went through the experience of
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:15
			tawbah right so he says the starting point
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:16
			of tawbah is not with you it's not
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:19
			in your heart it's not your regret it
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:23
			is with Allah it's with Allah Allah started
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:27
			the tawbah process for you and he inspired
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:33
			you to repent to him and he allowed
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:36
			you to repent and then he accepts that
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:38
			repentance from you then Ibn Al-Qayyim recites
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:42
			the verse in surah At-Tawbah ثُمَّ تَابَ
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:47
			عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَتُوبُهُ then Allah if I want to
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:51
			do that literally, literal translation then Allah says
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:55
			Allah accepted their tawbah so they made tawbah
		
00:32:56 --> 00:33:01
			isn't this the reverse order Allah تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:03
			لِيَتُوبُهُ Allah accepted their tawbah so that they
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:07
			make tawbah it should be they made tawbah
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:09
			and Allah accepted their tawbah Allah said Allah
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:12
			accepted their tawbah and thus as a result
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:17
			they made tawbah so the acts of worship
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:20
			don't take credit for them Allah inspires you
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22
			to do them the credit goes to Allah
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:25
			and that's a very difficult thing to accept
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:28
			because we like to take credit we like
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:32
			to accept credit but the reality is that
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:34
			Allah whatever good in you وَمَا بِكُم مِّن
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:37
			نِعْمَةٍ فَمِنَ اللَّهِ whatever blessing in you it's
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:41
			from Allah including good deeds including your salah
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:44
			you think you initiated the salah no, Allah
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:46
			initiated it in you and had Allah not
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:48
			inspired you to pray you would not have
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:56
			prayed إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبْلُ نَدْعُوهُ إِنَّهُ هُوَ
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:58
			الْبَرُّ الرَّحِيمُ we used to call upon him
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:01
			we used to ask him in the dunya
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:06
			right and sheikh Saadi here says mentions two
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:14
			things دُعَاءُ المَسْأَلَةِ and دُعَاءِ الْعِبَادَةِ the دُعَاء
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:21
			of asking and the دُعَاء of ibadah we
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:24
			understand دُعَاء of asking you ask Allah O
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:28
			Allah please bless me with a child O
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:33
			Allah please bless me with success O Allah
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:36
			bless me with peace whatever like you wish
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:40
			you ask Allah this is دُعَاء المسألة دُعَاءِ
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:44
			الْعِبَادَةِ what is the دُعَاء of worship what
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:49
			does that mean anyone can think of something
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:55
			no but that's مسألة يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ O
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:57
			Allah you turn the hearts keep my heart
		
00:34:57 --> 00:35:02
			upon your religion you're asking Allah دُعَاء مسألة
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:05
			you're asking Allah for something why did he
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:08
			mention دُعَاء with مسألة with asking with supplication
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:11
			and he also mentioned دُعَاء with عبادة worship
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:18
			yeah but this doesn't answer like what this
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:22
			is like saying what's I ask what's today
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:26
			you say oh today is raining okay I
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:35
			know it's raining oh it's today huh yes
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:41
			no now the question is why we understand
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:44
			دُعَاء المسألة دُعَاء of asking is obvious but
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:47
			what is دُعَاء العبادة why didn't he just
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:50
			say عبادة why دُعَاء العبادة why the supplication
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:52
			of is not no not the supplication of
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:55
			عبادة that won't be accurate it would be
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:59
			the so دُعَاء is asking for something right
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:04
			asking verbally دُعَاء المسألة asking directly verbally and
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:06
			the asking of عبادة what does that mean
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:12
			I made it easier now yes this is
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:14
			دُعَاء المسألة this is you asking Allah for
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:26
			something obviously continue
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:41
			say it excellent خلاص you got a gift
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:44
			this is second time you catch a very
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:50
			subtle point mashallah Allah bless your عبادة your
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:54
			صلاة your قرآن your ذكر your صدقة these
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:58
			are acts of asking Allah they're non-verbal
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:01
			but you are making دُعَاء to Allah to
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:06
			accept you to be pleased with you to
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:09
			reward you to save you so you're making
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:13
			دُعَاء so عبادة itself is actually asking Allah
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:17
			so you can ask Allah verbally and you
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:19
			also ask Allah with your actions because all
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:22
			of actions of worship are seeking you are
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:25
			seeking something so they are what a non
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:27
			-verbal دُعَاء all of you all of the
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:31
			acts of worship are non-verbal دُعَاء and
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:33
			that gives life to your worship so if
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:35
			you are praying and you're just absent-minded
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:38
			you're not asking Allah for something if you
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:41
			are fasting and you're not asking actively your
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:43
			heart is not engaged with the reward and
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:46
			with the acceptance of Allah you're not asking
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:50
			if you're reading Quran and you're not you're
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:53
			not focusing or you're not reflecting and you're
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:56
			not having the experience of the Quran you're
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:59
			not asking Allah so you're not doing the
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:04
			worship correctly clear?
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:07
			okay so this is دُعَاء المسألة and دُعَاء
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:10
			العبادة all of your actions should be a
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:16
			matter of seeking and asking because you are
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:20
			يَأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَنْتُمُ الْفُقَرَاءُ إِلَى اللَّهِ O humans
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:22
			you are poor you are in need of
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:24
			Allah that's the definition of a human being
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:28
			the very basic definition of humans and creatures
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:30
			that they are in need they cannot stand
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:36
			alone only Allah is self-sufficient Ibn Taymiyyah
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:41
			used to say وَالْفَقْرُ لِي وَصْفُ ذَاتٍ لَازِمٌ
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:49
			أَبَدًا كَمَا الْغِنَى أَبَدًا وَصْفٌ لَهُ ذَاتِي وَالْفَقْرُ
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:54
			لِي وَصْفُ ذَاتٍ لَازِمٌ أَبَدًا كَمَا الْغِنَى أَبَدًا
		
00:38:54 --> 00:39:02
			وَصْفٌ لَهُ ذَاتِي my need and poverty is
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:09
			my definition is the most intrinsic feature of
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:11
			who I am my need I'm in need
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:15
			I cannot stand alone I'm dependent that's what
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:17
			it means to be a human being I'm
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:22
			dependent and self-sufficiency and richness and wealth
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:29
			is Allah's very sort of core definition or
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:32
			feature or reality about Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:34
			'ala actually if you look up these lines
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:37
			of poetry by Ibn Taymiyyah they're just profound
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:39
			Ibn Qayyim rahimahullah he says when Ibn Taymiyyah
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:41
			passed away in the prison we found some
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:43
			of his in some of his books he
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:46
			said overleaf at the back I found him
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:48
			writing these lines of poetry very profound they
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:52
			start with أنا الفقير إلى رب البريات أنا
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:55
			المسيكين في مجموع حالاتي I am the one
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:58
			who is poor and in need of Allah
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:00
			and I am miskeen in all of my
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:04
			affairs then he goes and he's like a
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:06
			beautiful very very beautiful lines of poetry unbelievable
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:08
			and they make you they humble you before
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:11
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so إِنَّا كُنَّا
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:14
			مِن قَبْلُ نَدْعُوهُ so you're always asking Allah
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:16
			your acts of worship are all an expression
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:19
			of your need and they are a clear
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:25
			proclamation that only Allah can answer this need
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:26
			and that's why you turn to Him in
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:30
			speech in attitude and in actions all of
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:31
			your life should be an attitude of asking
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:34
			Allah and begging Allah that's who you are
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:37
			as a human being so embrace that human
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:40
			nature if you don't do this with Allah
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:42
			you will be seeking and you will be
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:45
			asking other than Allah so you become a
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:46
			slave to other than Allah so you're either
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:49
			asking Allah or you're asking other than Allah
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:50
			anything else you do in this dunya you
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:54
			are seeking something right you're seeking a result
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:56
			you're seeking either wealth you're seeking pleasure you're
		
00:40:56 --> 00:41:00
			seeking recognition you're seeking reputation you're seeking attention
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:05
			you are seeking whatever it may be right
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:07
			so you don't do an action without a
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:09
			payoff without an expected payoff.
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:10
			That's an act of seeking.
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:13
			That's worship in a sense, right?
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:19
			إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْبَرُّ الرَّحِيمِ And that's a description
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:20
			of Allah.
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:21
			البر, one of the names of Allah.
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:23
			One of the names of Allah.
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:24
			And it comes from what?
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:25
			البر.
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:29
			And البر is righteousness, same as Taqwa.
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:32
			بِر and Taqwa are the same, by the
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:32
			way.
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:33
			إيمان.
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:35
			بِر and Taqwa, you're talking about the same
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:36
			thing.
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:39
			But, certain features are highlighted with each word.
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:42
			So, for example, when you travel, there is
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:43
			the dua of traveling.
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:47
			اللهم إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ فِي سَفَرِنَا هَذَا الْبِرَّ وَالْتَقْوَى
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:47
			Allahumma Inna Nas'aluka Fi Safarina Hatha Al
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:50
			-Birra Wa Al-Taqwa We ask you in
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:54
			this trip of us, البر and التقوى.
		
00:41:55 --> 00:41:56
			البر here means what?
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:57
			Proactive good.
		
00:41:57 --> 00:41:58
			That you engage with good.
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:01
			التقوى means abstaining from sin.
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:02
			But they are the same thing.
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:05
			This is the proactive feature and this is
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:08
			the abstinence feature.
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:14
			So, البر, الله البر, is actively good.
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:16
			Allah is actively good.
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:19
			There's nothing but good with Allah.
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:22
			Actually, good comes only from Allah.
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:24
			Without Allah, there's no good.
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:25
			There's just evil.
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:29
			And Allah can only be good.
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:32
			And that puts your heart at peace.
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:36
			Nothing comes from Allah but good.
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:38
			The Prophet ﷺ says, الخير في يديك والشر
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:40
			ليس إليك Al-Khayru Fi Yadaik Wa Al
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:43
			-Sharru Laysa Ilaik Good is with you, is
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:43
			in your hands.
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:45
			Is only with you, comes only for you.
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:46
			It has one source.
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:47
			Good has one source.
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:47
			Allah.
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:50
			والشر ليس إليك And there is no evil
		
00:42:50 --> 00:42:51
			that can be attributed to you.
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:54
			Evil doesn't come from Allah.
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:57
			Okay, Allah does not.
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:00
			Allah only gives what's good.
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:05
			إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْبَرَّ الْرَحِيمُ Innahu Huwa Al-Barra
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:10
			Al-Raheem قال ابن سعدي Let's continue.
		
00:43:12 --> 00:43:15
			قال تعالى فَذَكِّرْ فَمَا أَنْتَ بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِكَاهِنٍ
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:19
			وَلَا مَجْنُونَ أَمْ يَقُولُونَ شَاعِرٌ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِهِ رَيْبَ
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:23
			الْمَنُونَ قُلْ تَرَبَّصُوا فَإِنِّي مَعَكُمْ مِنَ الْمُتَرَبِّصِينَ أَمْ
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:27
			تَأْمُرُهُمْ أَحْلَامُهُمْ بِهَذَا أَمْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ أَمْ
		
00:43:27 --> 00:43:31
			يَقُولُونَ تَقَوَّلَهُ بَلَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ فَلْيَأْتُوا بِحَدِيثٍ مِثْلِهِ إِنْ
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:33
			كَانُوا صَادِقِينَ أَمْ خُلِقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ شَيْءٍ أَمْ
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:36
			هُمُ الْخَالِقُونَ أَمْ خَلَقُوا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بَلَّا يُؤْقِنُونَ
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:40
			أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَائِنُ غَبِّكَ أَمْ هُمُ الْمُسَيْطِرُونَ أَمْ
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:44
			لَهُمْ سُلَّمٌ يَسْتَمِعُونَ فِيهِ فَلْيَأْتِ مُسْتَمِعُهُمْ بِسُلْطَانٍ
		
00:43:44 --> 00:43:48
			مُّبِينٍ أَمْ لَهُ الْبَنَاتُ وَلَكُمُ الْبَنُونَ أَمْ تَسْأَلُهُمْ
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:51
			أَجْرًا فَهُمْ مِنْ مَغْرَمٍ مُثْقَلُونَ أَمْ عِندَهُمُ الْغَيْبُ
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:55
			فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ أَمْ يُرِيدُونَ كَيْدًا فَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا هُمُ
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:59
			الْمَكِيدُونَ أَمْ لَهُمْ إِلَهٌ غَيْرُ اللَّهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:27
			عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ If
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:28
			you can make it for seven, it's good.
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:30
			We're going to have always a soft start.
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:33
			6.45 inshaAllah.
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:37
			That's again because it's already too late.
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:42
			Because starting at 8.30 is like starting
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:44
			9.30 now, which is already too late.
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:47
			So way into the night, okay?
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:50
			So inshaAllah, we're going to stop at Isha
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:54
			and we will begin quarter to seven.
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:56
			Quarter to seven inshaAllah.
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:57
			We'll begin next Friday.
		
00:44:58 --> 00:44:58
			Keep that in mind.
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:36
			6
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:51
			.45
		
00:45:54 --> 00:46:22
			6
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:24
			.45
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:37
			6
		
00:46:37 --> 00:46:52
			.45
		
00:46:52 --> 00:47:14
			6
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:29
			.45
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:57
			6
		
00:47:57 --> 00:47:58
			.45
		
00:47:58 --> 00:48:19
			6
		
00:48:19 --> 00:48:34
			.45
		
00:48:34 --> 00:49:03
			6
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:04
			.45
		
00:49:04 --> 00:49:34
			6
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:34
			.45
		
00:49:34 --> 00:50:03
			6
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:09
			.45 6.45 Okay, so Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:50:09 --> 00:50:10
			ta'ala here shows the confusion of the
		
00:50:10 --> 00:50:13
			people of Quraysh who refused and rejected the
		
00:50:13 --> 00:50:16
			message of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:18
			And the surah started with this, right?
		
00:50:18 --> 00:50:20
			The signs and how they are compelling.
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:23
			And we said Allah was going to come
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:27
			back to this argument and expose all of
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:29
			the objections of the people of disbelief.
		
00:50:29 --> 00:50:31
			So Allah will start to list all the
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:38
			possible interpretations of their inappropriate response, uncalled for
		
00:50:38 --> 00:50:38
			response.
		
00:50:39 --> 00:50:41
			And Allah is going to show first their
		
00:50:41 --> 00:50:43
			confusion and their foolishness.
		
00:50:43 --> 00:50:48
			They tried to categorize the Prophet ﷺ, but
		
00:50:48 --> 00:50:51
			they couldn't make any compelling case.
		
00:50:52 --> 00:50:54
			They were just trying to run away.
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:56
			It boils down to one thing.
		
00:50:56 --> 00:50:58
			They just rejected the truth.
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:02
			So everything they said was a bluff.
		
00:51:03 --> 00:51:04
			That's its reality.
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:08
			So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, مَا
		
00:51:08 --> 00:51:11
			أَنتَ بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكِ With the blessing of Allah,
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:14
			this great blessing from Allah, which is revelation.
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:16
			The greatest blessing is revelation.
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:19
			With this blessing of Allah, this guidance that
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:21
			Allah gave you, you are not مَا أَنتَ
		
00:51:21 --> 00:51:24
			بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكِ بِكَاهِنِ You are not a kahin.
		
00:51:24 --> 00:51:25
			A kahin is a soothsayer.
		
00:51:27 --> 00:51:28
			And what is a kahin?
		
00:51:28 --> 00:51:31
			A kahin, a quhan, they had them, the
		
00:51:31 --> 00:51:32
			Arabs, and many nations have them.
		
00:51:33 --> 00:51:35
			Shamans and all that type of stuff, fortune
		
00:51:35 --> 00:51:36
			tellers, right?
		
00:51:37 --> 00:51:38
			They have them in every culture.
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:41
			These are humans who would communicate with jinn,
		
00:51:41 --> 00:51:42
			with shayateen.
		
00:51:43 --> 00:51:45
			And the jinn and shayateen would not cooperate
		
00:51:45 --> 00:51:47
			with someone and give him news.
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:49
			Obviously it's mixed with a lot of falsehood.
		
00:51:49 --> 00:51:53
			Unless the person commits kufr, an act of
		
00:51:53 --> 00:51:53
			kufr.
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:57
			Something that is an act of kufr.
		
00:51:58 --> 00:51:58
			Why?
		
00:51:58 --> 00:52:01
			Because you have to worship them, prove your
		
00:52:01 --> 00:52:06
			loyalty to them, and their self-claimed gods
		
00:52:06 --> 00:52:08
			among the jinn, so that they would put
		
00:52:08 --> 00:52:15
			their low-class soldiers under your service.
		
00:52:16 --> 00:52:18
			That's how they work with them.
		
00:52:18 --> 00:52:19
			So you have to serve them.
		
00:52:20 --> 00:52:22
			You have to commit to their worship.
		
00:52:23 --> 00:52:24
			And how do you do this?
		
00:52:24 --> 00:52:26
			By committing a blasphemy.
		
00:52:27 --> 00:52:29
			By committing kufr.
		
00:52:30 --> 00:52:32
			So anyone who tells you, I get the
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:36
			news about this or that, and I can
		
00:52:36 --> 00:52:38
			tell you things about your private life.
		
00:52:38 --> 00:52:40
			Allah gave this as a miracle to Isa
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:44
			a.s. وَأُنَبِئُكُم بِمَا تَأْكُلُونَ وَمَا تَدَّخِرُونَ فِي
		
00:52:44 --> 00:52:47
			بُيُوتِكُمْ Isa a.s. told people.
		
00:52:47 --> 00:52:50
			He could tell people what food they were
		
00:52:50 --> 00:52:54
			storing in their houses, what they eat and
		
00:52:54 --> 00:52:55
			what they store.
		
00:52:57 --> 00:53:03
			But others cannot tell you these things.
		
00:53:04 --> 00:53:05
			There's an exception.
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:09
			Very, very, very, very, very righteous people who
		
00:53:09 --> 00:53:11
			don't happen very often.
		
00:53:12 --> 00:53:13
			Allah sometimes gives them firasa.
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:15
			And they can see something.
		
00:53:16 --> 00:53:17
			They can see something.
		
00:53:17 --> 00:53:19
			But you know, that's a very far exception.
		
00:53:20 --> 00:53:21
			Don't even count it.
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:24
			But I'm saying this because you might actually
		
00:53:24 --> 00:53:26
			read about some of the righteous people, and
		
00:53:26 --> 00:53:27
			you see something and you say, oh, maybe
		
00:53:27 --> 00:53:29
			he was a soothsayer.
		
00:53:30 --> 00:53:30
			No.
		
00:53:31 --> 00:53:34
			But generally speaking, you would find soothsayers, again,
		
00:53:34 --> 00:53:35
			they communicate with jinn.
		
00:53:36 --> 00:53:37
			So it's all about kufr.
		
00:53:38 --> 00:53:40
			And a lot of these psychics today, so
		
00:53:40 --> 00:53:44
			they take more like modern branding today.
		
00:53:45 --> 00:53:45
			They're psychics.
		
00:53:48 --> 00:53:55
			A lot of, a lot, a lot of
		
00:53:55 --> 00:54:04
			these eastern-style healing schools.
		
00:54:05 --> 00:54:07
			They have a lot of jinn.
		
00:54:12 --> 00:54:13
			So, acupuncture.
		
00:54:15 --> 00:54:18
			It could be, there might be somebody practicing
		
00:54:18 --> 00:54:19
			it without jinn.
		
00:54:19 --> 00:54:23
			But majority of practitioners in that field actually
		
00:54:23 --> 00:54:24
			deal with jinn.
		
00:54:25 --> 00:54:27
			And I know personally of stories of people
		
00:54:27 --> 00:54:30
			who went for that kind of treatment, and
		
00:54:30 --> 00:54:31
			they left Islam.
		
00:54:32 --> 00:54:32
			They were confused.
		
00:54:32 --> 00:54:36
			And it started with having nightmares, acting weird,
		
00:54:37 --> 00:54:40
			losing their mind, and eventually thinking that there
		
00:54:40 --> 00:54:43
			is, that the world is after them, and
		
00:54:43 --> 00:54:45
			it wants to destroy them, and there are
		
00:54:45 --> 00:54:49
			some aliens coming from some planet, and they
		
00:54:49 --> 00:54:51
			are targeting this specific person.
		
00:54:52 --> 00:54:53
			Yeah.
		
00:54:53 --> 00:54:56
			So, so be careful.
		
00:54:56 --> 00:55:00
			A lot of what you hear about stones,
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:02
			precious stones, metals.
		
00:55:03 --> 00:55:05
			Wear some copper bracelets.
		
00:55:06 --> 00:55:08
			They absorb negative energy.
		
00:55:09 --> 00:55:11
			And Muslims get even, they say, do you
		
00:55:11 --> 00:55:13
			know why sujood is very good?
		
00:55:14 --> 00:55:16
			Because it's an act of earthing.
		
00:55:17 --> 00:55:19
			When you put your forehead on the ground,
		
00:55:20 --> 00:55:26
			negative, the electrons, you know, are, whatever they
		
00:55:26 --> 00:55:27
			are.
		
00:55:28 --> 00:55:29
			What's the word?
		
00:55:29 --> 00:55:31
			Guys in science, help me out.
		
00:55:31 --> 00:55:33
			What happens to the electrons?
		
00:55:34 --> 00:55:34
			Huh?
		
00:55:35 --> 00:55:37
			The grounding, they're grounded or whatever.
		
00:55:39 --> 00:55:42
			Yeah, so you just sort of empty or
		
00:55:42 --> 00:55:47
			get rid of negative, the negative charge, electrons,
		
00:55:47 --> 00:55:47
			right?
		
00:55:47 --> 00:55:51
			Yeah, we think, oh, we are being scientific.
		
00:55:51 --> 00:55:53
			You don't realize, you are just parroting the
		
00:55:53 --> 00:55:56
			wishy-washy ideas of all these people who
		
00:55:56 --> 00:55:57
			deal with the jinn.
		
00:55:59 --> 00:56:02
			Don't follow any trend just because it is
		
00:56:02 --> 00:56:03
			getting popular.
		
00:56:04 --> 00:56:06
			Get to the bottom of it before you
		
00:56:06 --> 00:56:08
			start making links with Islam and think, oh,
		
00:56:08 --> 00:56:10
			I'm being modern Muslim.
		
00:56:11 --> 00:56:13
			I'm being an educated and enlightened Muslim.
		
00:56:15 --> 00:56:17
			It's good to get to the bottom of
		
00:56:17 --> 00:56:19
			things before we speak about them, especially when
		
00:56:19 --> 00:56:21
			it comes to making claims about Islam.
		
00:56:22 --> 00:56:25
			Shall I get more specific about certain things?
		
00:56:26 --> 00:56:28
			A lot of self-development stuff is jinn
		
00:56:28 --> 00:56:29
			stuff.
		
00:56:30 --> 00:56:31
			Yes, be careful.
		
00:56:32 --> 00:56:34
			Some practitioners in NLP.
		
00:56:35 --> 00:56:36
			I know I'm going to get a lot
		
00:56:36 --> 00:56:37
			of heat for that.
		
00:56:38 --> 00:56:41
			Some practitioners in NLP and some schools of
		
00:56:41 --> 00:56:41
			hypnosis.
		
00:56:43 --> 00:56:43
			Yeah.
		
00:56:45 --> 00:56:45
			Yeah.
		
00:56:47 --> 00:56:49
			I know I'm going to receive a lot
		
00:56:49 --> 00:56:51
			of visits and complaints about this.
		
00:56:51 --> 00:56:53
			But be careful.
		
00:56:54 --> 00:56:55
			Yeah, be careful.
		
00:56:55 --> 00:56:57
			There's a lot of this stuff there.
		
00:56:58 --> 00:56:59
			And these are not new things.
		
00:57:00 --> 00:57:01
			These are not new professions.
		
00:57:01 --> 00:57:02
			They were all there.
		
00:57:02 --> 00:57:05
			And they were practiced at the time we
		
00:57:05 --> 00:57:06
			started receiving phone calls.
		
00:57:10 --> 00:57:14
			In the past, all of these flashy names
		
00:57:14 --> 00:57:16
			were under the what?
		
00:57:16 --> 00:57:17
			Under the title of what?
		
00:57:17 --> 00:57:18
			Kahin.
		
00:57:19 --> 00:57:20
			Kahin.
		
00:57:20 --> 00:57:22
			And these people could tell you things that
		
00:57:22 --> 00:57:23
			no one knows about you.
		
00:57:24 --> 00:57:27
			Remember the story of Abdul Muttalib finding Zamzam?
		
00:57:27 --> 00:57:29
			And then Quraysh saying, oh, we have a
		
00:57:29 --> 00:57:29
			right in it.
		
00:57:29 --> 00:57:31
			It belongs to our father Ismail.
		
00:57:31 --> 00:57:32
			We have a share.
		
00:57:32 --> 00:57:33
			And he says, no.
		
00:57:35 --> 00:57:37
			Allah caused me to find it, so it's
		
00:57:37 --> 00:57:37
			mine.
		
00:57:38 --> 00:57:40
			So he said, how do we settle this
		
00:57:40 --> 00:57:40
			affair?
		
00:57:41 --> 00:57:43
			So they went to a kahina.
		
00:57:43 --> 00:57:44
			Right?
		
00:57:44 --> 00:57:45
			They went to a kahina.
		
00:57:46 --> 00:57:49
			And she would arbitrate between them.
		
00:57:51 --> 00:57:52
			So these are there everywhere.
		
00:57:53 --> 00:57:55
			So be careful about a lot of these,
		
00:57:55 --> 00:58:01
			they call healing, eastern healing systems and things
		
00:58:01 --> 00:58:02
			like that.
		
00:58:02 --> 00:58:03
			Many schools in yoga.
		
00:58:05 --> 00:58:06
			Yeah.
		
00:58:07 --> 00:58:08
			Yeah.
		
00:58:08 --> 00:58:09
			Be careful.
		
00:58:09 --> 00:58:11
			A lot of that is a lot of
		
00:58:11 --> 00:58:12
			these things are not what they claim.
		
00:58:13 --> 00:58:14
			Are there a lot of people who don't
		
00:58:14 --> 00:58:16
			know their reality and they practice them?
		
00:58:16 --> 00:58:17
			Yes.
		
00:58:18 --> 00:58:19
			So are they dealing with jinn?
		
00:58:20 --> 00:58:21
			Most likely, yes.
		
00:58:21 --> 00:58:21
			And they don't know.
		
00:58:23 --> 00:58:26
			And they would attribute this to your subconscious
		
00:58:26 --> 00:58:26
			mind.
		
00:58:27 --> 00:58:29
			What is the subconscious mind?
		
00:58:30 --> 00:58:32
			Honestly, it's not even a scientific term, by
		
00:58:32 --> 00:58:32
			the way.
		
00:58:33 --> 00:58:35
			It's not recognized even scientifically.
		
00:58:36 --> 00:58:39
			Because most of your life is subconscious, by
		
00:58:39 --> 00:58:39
			the way.
		
00:58:39 --> 00:58:41
			Most of what happens in you is subconscious.
		
00:58:43 --> 00:58:44
			So what are you referring to?
		
00:58:44 --> 00:58:45
			The fitrah?
		
00:58:45 --> 00:58:47
			Are you referring to my memories?
		
00:58:47 --> 00:58:49
			Are you referring to my instincts?
		
00:58:50 --> 00:58:51
			All of that is in your subconscious.
		
00:58:55 --> 00:58:57
			So is that even a helpful concept?
		
00:58:57 --> 00:58:58
			It's not even a helpful concept.
		
00:58:58 --> 00:59:04
			But when you use a very flimsy, hazy
		
00:59:04 --> 00:59:08
			kind of concept, you know, you can use
		
00:59:08 --> 00:59:10
			it anyway and no one can catch you.
		
00:59:10 --> 00:59:10
			Right?
		
00:59:11 --> 00:59:12
			Because if they catch you at something, you
		
00:59:12 --> 00:59:13
			say, Oh, I didn't mean this.
		
00:59:13 --> 00:59:14
			I meant something else.
		
00:59:14 --> 00:59:16
			Because there's always wiggle room.
		
00:59:17 --> 00:59:18
			So be careful of all of these things.
		
00:59:18 --> 00:59:21
			A lot of these are just flashy, like,
		
00:59:22 --> 00:59:22
			names.
		
00:59:23 --> 00:59:25
			But underneath them is a summul zu'af,
		
00:59:25 --> 00:59:25
			poison.
		
00:59:26 --> 00:59:27
			Poison.
		
00:59:27 --> 00:59:28
			All of this is kahana.
		
00:59:28 --> 00:59:30
			Most of this is kahana.
		
00:59:30 --> 00:59:31
			Most of this.
		
00:59:31 --> 00:59:31
			Okay?
		
00:59:31 --> 00:59:32
			I don't want to say all of this.
		
00:59:32 --> 00:59:34
			Because most of this is actually kahana.
		
00:59:35 --> 00:59:38
			And it might help you on the short
		
00:59:38 --> 00:59:39
			run because of something.
		
00:59:40 --> 00:59:45
			But it actually gets you in more trouble.
		
00:59:46 --> 00:59:48
			It gets you in more trouble.
		
00:59:48 --> 00:59:50
			Because you are now messing with the world
		
00:59:50 --> 00:59:51
			of jinn.
		
00:59:51 --> 00:59:53
			And you're getting yourself trapped with some of
		
00:59:53 --> 00:59:54
			those.
		
00:59:54 --> 00:59:56
			So it's better not to get into this.
		
00:59:56 --> 00:59:57
			Protect yourself from that.
		
00:59:58 --> 00:59:59
			So that's kahin.
		
00:59:59 --> 01:00:01
			That's one thing they accuse the Prophet ﷺ
		
01:00:01 --> 01:00:02
			of.
		
01:00:06 --> 01:00:08
			بِكَاهِنْ وَلَا مَجْنُونَ They said, okay, you are
		
01:00:08 --> 01:00:09
			insane.
		
01:00:10 --> 01:00:13
			Because sometimes insane people say some wise things.
		
01:00:14 --> 01:00:14
			Right?
		
01:00:14 --> 01:00:16
			Sometimes insane people, they really speak wisdom.
		
01:00:17 --> 01:00:19
			Almost every statement they say is wise.
		
01:00:19 --> 01:00:20
			But something is missing.
		
01:00:21 --> 01:00:21
			Right?
		
01:00:21 --> 01:00:23
			Something is missing.
		
01:00:23 --> 01:00:23
			SubhanAllah.
		
01:00:23 --> 01:00:25
			So they accuse Prophet Muhammad ﷺ of being
		
01:00:25 --> 01:00:26
			majnun.
		
01:00:28 --> 01:00:29
			Or they said a poet.
		
01:00:31 --> 01:00:32
			A poet.
		
01:00:32 --> 01:00:34
			And sometimes, you know, genius.
		
01:00:34 --> 01:00:35
			Someone who is genius.
		
01:00:36 --> 01:00:38
			Genius borders insanity.
		
01:00:39 --> 01:00:39
			Right?
		
01:00:39 --> 01:00:42
			So sometimes some people are so genius to
		
01:00:42 --> 01:00:43
			the point of insanity.
		
01:00:43 --> 01:00:45
			And you will find actually a lot of
		
01:00:45 --> 01:00:46
			the very good poets.
		
01:00:46 --> 01:00:49
			Like sometimes it's a very thin line between
		
01:00:49 --> 01:00:51
			genius and insanity.
		
01:00:51 --> 01:00:52
			With what they say.
		
01:00:53 --> 01:00:55
			So again, this is something they accuse the
		
01:00:55 --> 01:00:55
			Prophet.
		
01:00:55 --> 01:00:57
			They said, okay, we'll still give him the
		
01:00:57 --> 01:00:58
			title, he's a poet.
		
01:00:58 --> 01:01:00
			Because of the beautiful speech that he's sharing
		
01:01:00 --> 01:01:01
			with us.
		
01:01:01 --> 01:01:03
			But the Qur'an is not poetry.
		
01:01:04 --> 01:01:05
			You can't put it under the category of
		
01:01:05 --> 01:01:06
			poetry.
		
01:01:08 --> 01:01:11
			But then, all of this reflects their confusion.
		
01:01:12 --> 01:01:14
			Then one of their ideas was, okay, you
		
01:01:14 --> 01:01:14
			know what?
		
01:01:14 --> 01:01:15
			Just let's be patient with him.
		
01:01:15 --> 01:01:16
			Eventually he's going to die.
		
01:01:17 --> 01:01:19
			Then his da'wah, his call will die.
		
01:01:19 --> 01:01:21
			It will be over.
		
01:01:21 --> 01:01:26
			So let's just sort of persevere our way
		
01:01:26 --> 01:01:28
			through it.
		
01:01:30 --> 01:01:32
			But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, okay,
		
01:01:32 --> 01:01:33
			if you do this.
		
01:01:33 --> 01:01:37
			Basically, Islam will flourish and you will die.
		
01:01:37 --> 01:01:38
			And you will die.
		
01:01:40 --> 01:01:42
			And then one of the final things that
		
01:01:42 --> 01:01:46
			Allah discusses here is, They just said, oh,
		
01:01:46 --> 01:01:47
			Muhammad invented this.
		
01:01:47 --> 01:01:48
			He came up with this.
		
01:01:48 --> 01:01:50
			But obviously the history of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
		
01:01:50 --> 01:01:52
			does not give any indication.
		
01:01:53 --> 01:01:55
			The nature of the speech and the content
		
01:01:55 --> 01:01:56
			of it, the guidance.
		
01:01:56 --> 01:01:59
			Obviously defies this kind of accusation.
		
01:02:00 --> 01:02:03
			The depth, the wisdom, the truth in it.
		
01:02:03 --> 01:02:06
			It's way beyond one person coming up with
		
01:02:06 --> 01:02:06
			some ideas.
		
01:02:06 --> 01:02:07
			Or even all of humans.
		
01:02:07 --> 01:02:10
			Allah says, قُلْ لَأِنِ اجْتَمَعَتِ الْإِنسُ وَالْجَنِّ وَعَلَىٰ
		
01:02:10 --> 01:02:13
			يَأْتُوبُ بِمِثْلِهِ هَذَا الْقُرْآنِ لَا يَأَتُونَ بِمِثْلِهِ وَلَوْ
		
01:02:13 --> 01:02:15
			كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ ضَهِيرًا Say if all of
		
01:02:15 --> 01:02:17
			humans and all of jinn, all of them
		
01:02:17 --> 01:02:20
			from Adam till the last man.
		
01:02:21 --> 01:02:24
			And the jinn from the first jinn till
		
01:02:24 --> 01:02:26
			the last jinn to be alive ever.
		
01:02:26 --> 01:02:30
			If they come together to invent something like
		
01:02:30 --> 01:02:31
			the Qur'an, they won't be able to
		
01:02:31 --> 01:02:32
			do it.
		
01:02:33 --> 01:02:33
			They won't.
		
01:02:34 --> 01:02:37
			So Muhammad ﷺ couldn't have came up with
		
01:02:37 --> 01:02:39
			something like this by himself.
		
01:02:39 --> 01:02:42
			Then Allah is going to dismantle their arguments
		
01:02:42 --> 01:02:44
			one after the other and show how foolish
		
01:02:44 --> 01:02:44
			they are.
		
01:02:44 --> 01:02:46
			Let's take a couple of questions and let
		
01:02:46 --> 01:02:47
			you go inshaAllah.
		
01:02:49 --> 01:02:52
			So again next week, if you know someone
		
01:02:52 --> 01:02:53
			who comes to the halaqa who is not
		
01:02:53 --> 01:02:55
			here today, tell them inshaAllah we will start
		
01:02:55 --> 01:03:00
			the halaqa at quarter to seven sounds good.
		
01:03:01 --> 01:03:02
			Quarter to seven inshaAllah.
		
01:03:03 --> 01:03:06
			Often we'll have a soft start to give
		
01:03:06 --> 01:03:07
			people time until seven inshaAllah.
		
01:03:08 --> 01:03:10
			So bi-idhnillah ta'ala we can make
		
01:03:10 --> 01:03:11
			good use of the time.
		
01:03:12 --> 01:03:12
			Questions?
		
01:03:17 --> 01:03:20
			So we are already here so we don't
		
01:03:20 --> 01:03:21
			say salam alaikum.
		
01:03:29 --> 01:03:38
			So if you wronged someone you mean or
		
01:03:38 --> 01:03:40
			you owe somebody something, right?
		
01:03:40 --> 01:03:42
			It's the rights of people and you can't
		
01:03:42 --> 01:03:43
			find them?
		
01:03:49 --> 01:03:52
			Okay so you owe someone either something or
		
01:03:52 --> 01:03:54
			an apology or an explanation or whatever.
		
01:03:55 --> 01:03:56
			And you can't do it now.
		
01:03:56 --> 01:03:58
			It depends what do you mean by you
		
01:03:58 --> 01:03:59
			can't do it now.
		
01:04:00 --> 01:04:01
			So is it?
		
01:04:05 --> 01:04:06
			Okay backbiting.
		
01:04:09 --> 01:04:12
			Sometimes we say I can't go and apologize
		
01:04:12 --> 01:04:14
			because of again my pride.
		
01:04:15 --> 01:04:18
			So when I verify first that it's impossible
		
01:04:18 --> 01:04:20
			for me to give this person to pay
		
01:04:20 --> 01:04:21
			this person back.
		
01:04:21 --> 01:04:22
			Like if I go and tell them.
		
01:04:25 --> 01:04:27
			Like I don't know like it has to
		
01:04:27 --> 01:04:29
			end up in very bad shape.
		
01:04:29 --> 01:04:32
			Or it has to bring about more damage
		
01:04:32 --> 01:04:34
			than it rectifies.
		
01:04:38 --> 01:04:39
			So I'm going to assume there is a
		
01:04:39 --> 01:04:42
			legitimate reason why you can't give that person
		
01:04:42 --> 01:04:43
			their specific right.
		
01:04:45 --> 01:04:47
			The scholars say in case of backbiting you
		
01:04:47 --> 01:04:49
			can make dua for them and you can
		
01:04:49 --> 01:04:53
			talk or mention the good things about them.
		
01:04:54 --> 01:04:55
			But they have to be true.
		
01:04:56 --> 01:04:57
			Okay, they have to be true.
		
01:04:57 --> 01:04:59
			Things you mentioned about them have to be
		
01:04:59 --> 01:04:59
			true.
		
01:04:59 --> 01:05:07
			If it's some rights like financial then what
		
01:05:07 --> 01:05:09
			you can do or some kind of obligation.
		
01:05:09 --> 01:05:11
			And you can't find them or you can't
		
01:05:11 --> 01:05:11
			get them.
		
01:05:11 --> 01:05:13
			It's been a long time ago.
		
01:05:13 --> 01:05:17
			What you can do is give it out
		
01:05:17 --> 01:05:19
			in sadaqah on their behalf.
		
01:05:21 --> 01:05:24
			And what you're doing, the scholars call this
		
01:05:24 --> 01:05:24
			attakhallus.
		
01:05:24 --> 01:05:26
			You're getting rid of that burden.
		
01:05:26 --> 01:05:29
			You have a burden that you are going
		
01:05:29 --> 01:05:30
			to be held accountable for.
		
01:05:31 --> 01:05:33
			So you're just ridding yourself of it.
		
01:05:33 --> 01:05:35
			It's not like you're taking any credit there.
		
01:05:36 --> 01:05:38
			So you're doing it on their behalf.
		
01:05:39 --> 01:05:41
			Doing it on their behalf.
		
01:05:44 --> 01:05:48
			I think in the Walima of Shaykh Abdul
		
01:05:48 --> 01:05:51
			Rahman, I mentioned a story where you guys,
		
01:05:52 --> 01:05:53
			most of you weren't there.
		
01:05:53 --> 01:05:57
			The story basically, a lady helped a man
		
01:05:57 --> 01:05:59
			at some point.
		
01:05:59 --> 01:06:00
			His money got stolen.
		
01:06:01 --> 01:06:03
			He traveled to Al-Basra.
		
01:06:03 --> 01:06:04
			So it was a long time ago.
		
01:06:05 --> 01:06:08
			He slept at the masjid after his journey.
		
01:06:09 --> 01:06:10
			And his money was stolen.
		
01:06:11 --> 01:06:12
			He couldn't find anyone to help him.
		
01:06:12 --> 01:06:16
			And he found this random lady, a very
		
01:06:16 --> 01:06:20
			young lady, at the end of a caravan.
		
01:06:20 --> 01:06:22
			And they were just going to leave.
		
01:06:23 --> 01:06:25
			So he just said, you know, this is
		
01:06:25 --> 01:06:25
			what happened to me.
		
01:06:26 --> 01:06:28
			Can you help me in any way?
		
01:06:28 --> 01:06:30
			So she put her hand in her luggage.
		
01:06:30 --> 01:06:32
			And she gave him, she asked him how
		
01:06:32 --> 01:06:34
			much was stolen.
		
01:06:34 --> 01:06:35
			He said like 30 riyals.
		
01:06:35 --> 01:06:37
			I think they were French riyals at the
		
01:06:37 --> 01:06:37
			time.
		
01:06:38 --> 01:06:39
			So she gave it to him.
		
01:06:41 --> 01:06:43
			And these were Bedouins who lived in the
		
01:06:43 --> 01:06:43
			desert.
		
01:06:43 --> 01:06:45
			So he said, you have to give me
		
01:06:45 --> 01:06:45
			your name.
		
01:06:46 --> 01:06:47
			So she gave him the name.
		
01:06:48 --> 01:06:51
			So this man was in his late teens.
		
01:06:51 --> 01:06:52
			This was in his late teens.
		
01:06:52 --> 01:06:54
			So now when he was in his, I
		
01:06:54 --> 01:06:57
			think, 70s, he was visiting his son who
		
01:06:57 --> 01:06:59
			was working somewhere.
		
01:06:59 --> 01:07:03
			And his son had this health insurance.
		
01:07:04 --> 01:07:05
			And he was living in another city.
		
01:07:05 --> 01:07:07
			So he said to his dad, come, you
		
01:07:07 --> 01:07:09
			can have some checkups and we can make
		
01:07:09 --> 01:07:10
			sure that your health is all good.
		
01:07:10 --> 01:07:11
			And it's all covered, right?
		
01:07:12 --> 01:07:13
			So come and visit us.
		
01:07:13 --> 01:07:16
			It was him and, it was the son
		
01:07:16 --> 01:07:17
			and his wife.
		
01:07:18 --> 01:07:19
			So the son would go to work and
		
01:07:19 --> 01:07:21
			the man would stay with his daughter-in
		
01:07:21 --> 01:07:21
			-law.
		
01:07:22 --> 01:07:23
			And they were in very good terms.
		
01:07:24 --> 01:07:27
			So she jokes with him.
		
01:07:27 --> 01:07:28
			She says, you are so healthy.
		
01:07:28 --> 01:07:29
			We should get you married.
		
01:07:30 --> 01:07:32
			He says, okay.
		
01:07:32 --> 01:07:34
			So he plays along and he says, find
		
01:07:34 --> 01:07:35
			me someone.
		
01:07:35 --> 01:07:36
			She says, she's next door.
		
01:07:37 --> 01:07:39
			There's an older lady there.
		
01:07:39 --> 01:07:40
			You guys suit each other.
		
01:07:41 --> 01:07:43
			So he wasn't serious but he says, okay,
		
01:07:43 --> 01:07:44
			let's go and see her.
		
01:07:44 --> 01:07:46
			So they go and see her.
		
01:07:47 --> 01:07:51
			When he learns her name, it was the
		
01:07:51 --> 01:07:52
			girl who gave him the money.
		
01:07:55 --> 01:07:57
			You're talking about more than 50 years later.
		
01:07:58 --> 01:07:58
			And guess what?
		
01:07:59 --> 01:08:00
			He came back to her a couple of
		
01:08:00 --> 01:08:01
			days later.
		
01:08:02 --> 01:08:04
			And so he took 30.
		
01:08:04 --> 01:08:05
			So she gave him 30 riyals.
		
01:08:05 --> 01:08:08
			I think, if I'm not mistaken, he put
		
01:08:08 --> 01:08:09
			on her lap.
		
01:08:11 --> 01:08:13
			600,000 Saudi riyals.
		
01:08:16 --> 01:08:18
			He said, since you gave me that money,
		
01:08:18 --> 01:08:19
			I made trade with it and I kept
		
01:08:19 --> 01:08:20
			that share for you.
		
01:08:20 --> 01:08:22
			But then it stayed with me and I
		
01:08:22 --> 01:08:23
			invested it in business.
		
01:08:24 --> 01:08:25
			And it kept growing and growing and I
		
01:08:25 --> 01:08:27
			kept it in a separate account for you.
		
01:08:28 --> 01:08:31
			And I told all my children, I gave
		
01:08:31 --> 01:08:31
			them your name.
		
01:08:32 --> 01:08:35
			And I said, if they find you, if
		
01:08:35 --> 01:08:39
			I die and I haven't found this lady
		
01:08:39 --> 01:08:43
			and given her back what I owe her,
		
01:08:44 --> 01:08:48
			then use this money, 600,000, to build
		
01:08:48 --> 01:08:50
			a masjid for her in her name.
		
01:08:51 --> 01:08:52
			This is called wafaa.
		
01:08:53 --> 01:08:56
			This is proper, decent loyalty.
		
01:08:56 --> 01:08:59
			So he gives her the 600,000.
		
01:09:02 --> 01:09:03
			More than 50 years later.
		
01:09:04 --> 01:09:06
			And she, subhanAllah, it happens that she was
		
01:09:06 --> 01:09:07
			in need at that time.
		
01:09:10 --> 01:09:12
			So, we need the wafaa of this guy.
		
01:09:12 --> 01:09:13
			Look at this guy.
		
01:09:13 --> 01:09:14
			That's it, inshaAllah ta'ala.
		
01:09:15 --> 01:09:16
			Okay, sisters, questions?
		
01:09:18 --> 01:09:19
			No hands?
		
01:09:20 --> 01:09:20
			Khair, inshaAllah.
		
01:09:21 --> 01:09:21
			Brothers, yeah.
		
01:09:21 --> 01:09:24
			So, we know that the children follow their
		
01:09:24 --> 01:09:26
			parents in Jannah, so long as they follow
		
01:09:26 --> 01:09:27
			them in faith.
		
01:09:27 --> 01:09:29
			And it only applies to the child.
		
01:09:34 --> 01:09:37
			How does the intercession of the believers, specifically
		
01:09:37 --> 01:09:40
			the parents, to the child, apply to this
		
01:09:40 --> 01:09:42
			ayah, to the child in *?
		
01:09:43 --> 01:09:47
			Okay, so, asking about the children being graced
		
01:09:47 --> 01:09:49
			with their parents in Jannah, what about the
		
01:09:49 --> 01:09:50
			intercession of the parents?
		
01:09:50 --> 01:09:52
			So there's a lot of intercessions, shafa'ah,
		
01:09:53 --> 01:09:54
			on the Day of Judgment.
		
01:09:54 --> 01:09:55
			There's the shafa'ah of the believers.
		
01:09:56 --> 01:09:59
			So they make shafa'ah intercession for the
		
01:09:59 --> 01:10:02
			believers who have sinned and they are serving
		
01:10:02 --> 01:10:03
			some time in Jahannam.
		
01:10:05 --> 01:10:09
			Allah allows that after people have entered Jahannam.
		
01:10:09 --> 01:10:10
			So they will get some share of the
		
01:10:10 --> 01:10:10
			punishment.
		
01:10:11 --> 01:10:13
			But it's a privilege that Allah allows the
		
01:10:13 --> 01:10:15
			believers so they can get their friends and
		
01:10:15 --> 01:10:16
			the good ones that they know out.
		
01:10:18 --> 01:10:19
			Then there are parents.
		
01:10:19 --> 01:10:21
			Then the children even intercede for their parents.
		
01:10:21 --> 01:10:23
			The parents intercede for their children.
		
01:10:24 --> 01:10:26
			Then the prophets intercede.
		
01:10:27 --> 01:10:28
			And Prophet Muhammad ﷺ intercedes.
		
01:10:28 --> 01:10:31
			Then eventually Allah ﷻ frees some people from
		
01:10:31 --> 01:10:31
			their hellfire.
		
01:10:32 --> 01:10:33
			So that's a separate category.
		
01:10:34 --> 01:10:34
			Yeah.
		
01:10:34 --> 01:10:35
			It's a separate category.
		
01:10:36 --> 01:10:37
			Okay.
		
01:10:37 --> 01:10:38
			Final question.
		
01:10:39 --> 01:10:42
			This is actually from a sister section.
		
01:10:42 --> 01:10:42
			Khair.
		
01:10:42 --> 01:10:46
			It says here, you mentioned that some of
		
01:10:46 --> 01:10:47
			the self-help involves jinn.
		
01:10:47 --> 01:10:52
			If a Muslim wishes to improve themselves, I
		
01:10:52 --> 01:10:55
			think the Islamic alternative is tazkir.
		
01:10:56 --> 01:11:00
			So where can someone find a systematic approach
		
01:11:00 --> 01:11:02
			of a framework for tazkir?
		
01:11:06 --> 01:11:11
			This requires a course just to answer this
		
01:11:11 --> 01:11:11
			question.
		
01:11:14 --> 01:11:15
			A lot of good questions.
		
01:11:18 --> 01:11:24
			But I don't think I can answer it
		
01:11:24 --> 01:11:27
			in a short amount of time.
		
01:11:27 --> 01:11:33
			But let's say that doesn't mean there is
		
01:11:33 --> 01:11:35
			not some good skills in certain disciplines.
		
01:11:36 --> 01:11:37
			But the problem is that this good is
		
01:11:37 --> 01:11:38
			mixed with a lot of evil.
		
01:11:39 --> 01:11:44
			And a person who establishes himself or herself
		
01:11:44 --> 01:11:46
			in the knowledge of Islam, they can start
		
01:11:46 --> 01:11:48
			to sift through some of this.
		
01:11:49 --> 01:11:49
			Not always.
		
01:11:49 --> 01:11:51
			A lot of Muslims, a lot of Muslim
		
01:11:51 --> 01:11:55
			speakers, by the way, a lot of Muslim
		
01:11:55 --> 01:11:59
			life coaches, right?
		
01:11:59 --> 01:12:01
			They're just parroting stuff of non-Muslims.
		
01:12:02 --> 01:12:04
			And they don't realize that this stuff is
		
01:12:04 --> 01:12:06
			based on a notion of shirk.
		
01:12:08 --> 01:12:11
			But we assume it's just innocent.
		
01:12:11 --> 01:12:13
			And we always want to find some connections
		
01:12:13 --> 01:12:15
			with Islam and give it an Islamic taste.
		
01:12:16 --> 01:12:18
			And say, yeah, this is Islam and things
		
01:12:18 --> 01:12:18
			like that.
		
01:12:19 --> 01:12:22
			This is a very, very, very serious and
		
01:12:22 --> 01:12:24
			very dangerous approach.
		
01:12:26 --> 01:12:31
			The whole concept of self-development in Islam,
		
01:12:31 --> 01:12:34
			all of Islam is self-development.
		
01:12:35 --> 01:12:37
			All of Islam, all of it, everything in
		
01:12:37 --> 01:12:38
			Islam is about becoming better.
		
01:12:39 --> 01:12:40
			So you are developing yourself.
		
01:12:42 --> 01:12:44
			Now, if you need specific skills, like, for
		
01:12:44 --> 01:12:48
			example, public speaking skills, you might need some,
		
01:12:48 --> 01:12:50
			maybe, for example, you can benefit from the
		
01:12:50 --> 01:12:52
			skills of listening that are in counseling.
		
01:12:52 --> 01:12:54
			You can definitely benefit from that.
		
01:12:54 --> 01:12:55
			Because these are pure skills.
		
01:12:56 --> 01:12:57
			There's no dogma behind them.
		
01:12:57 --> 01:12:59
			There's no philosophy behind them.
		
01:12:59 --> 01:13:01
			They are pure skills that people have learned
		
01:13:01 --> 01:13:02
			from life.
		
01:13:02 --> 01:13:03
			These are life skills.
		
01:13:03 --> 01:13:04
			There's no issues with that.
		
01:13:04 --> 01:13:06
			But the problem is a lot of these
		
01:13:06 --> 01:13:07
			life skills are mixed with other things.
		
01:13:07 --> 01:13:10
			But if you can tell the exact skills,
		
01:13:10 --> 01:13:13
			just like you can learn engineering or architecture.
		
01:13:14 --> 01:13:15
			Oh, no, I shouldn't.
		
01:13:15 --> 01:13:16
			This is not Islamic.
		
01:13:17 --> 01:13:18
			No, this is knowledge of the dunya.
		
01:13:18 --> 01:13:19
			You can definitely learn it.
		
01:13:19 --> 01:13:21
			This is purely technical skill.
		
01:13:21 --> 01:13:23
			And it's very helpful in that field.
		
01:13:24 --> 01:13:26
			But sometimes it gets, there's an area, gray
		
01:13:26 --> 01:13:28
			area, where it's very confusing.
		
01:13:28 --> 01:13:31
			Is this a pure skill and technical skill?
		
01:13:31 --> 01:13:34
			Or is there a philosophy behind it?
		
01:13:35 --> 01:13:38
			The problem is without proper knowledge in Islam
		
01:13:38 --> 01:13:39
			and maturity in life, it's very hard to
		
01:13:39 --> 01:13:40
			tell.
		
01:13:40 --> 01:13:44
			So this is where the field of social
		
01:13:44 --> 01:13:47
			sciences and self-help and self-development, really,
		
01:13:47 --> 01:13:48
			this is where they are.
		
01:13:48 --> 01:13:50
			So this is why they are a mix.
		
01:13:52 --> 01:13:56
			Tazkiyah itself means growth, increase.
		
01:13:56 --> 01:13:58
			So it's by itself, definitely.
		
01:13:58 --> 01:14:01
			I would say the best form of tazkiyah
		
01:14:01 --> 01:14:02
			is in the Qur'an and the sunnah
		
01:14:02 --> 01:14:03
			of the Prophet ﷺ.
		
01:14:04 --> 01:14:04
			Definitely.
		
01:14:06 --> 01:14:08
			I would recommend the books of Ibn Taymiyyah
		
01:14:08 --> 01:14:09
			and Ibn al-Qayyim.
		
01:14:10 --> 01:14:12
			A lot of his books are translated.
		
01:14:13 --> 01:14:14
			So just familiarize yourself.
		
01:14:14 --> 01:14:16
			People think you learn tazkiyah like you learn
		
01:14:16 --> 01:14:18
			mathematics.
		
01:14:18 --> 01:14:18
			No.
		
01:14:19 --> 01:14:22
			You learn tazkiyah by exposing yourself so much
		
01:14:22 --> 01:14:24
			to the Qur'an and to worship and
		
01:14:24 --> 01:14:26
			to hadith of the Prophet ﷺ.
		
01:14:26 --> 01:14:29
			And to the books of Ibn al-Qayyim.
		
01:14:30 --> 01:14:34
			Over time, something changes in you.
		
01:14:35 --> 01:14:37
			It's not like I can pinpoint, I learned
		
01:14:37 --> 01:14:38
			this and that.
		
01:14:41 --> 01:14:45
			It's less definite than technical knowledge.
		
01:14:45 --> 01:14:45
			Alright?
		
01:14:46 --> 01:14:49
			So this is just a small introduction.
		
01:14:50 --> 01:14:50
			BarakAllahu feekum.
		
01:14:50 --> 01:14:51
			It's already too late.
		
01:14:51 --> 01:14:52
			JazakAllah khair.
		
01:14:52 --> 01:14:52
			May Allah reward you.
		
01:14:52 --> 01:14:53
			Don't forget.
		
01:14:53 --> 01:14:56
			InshaAllah next week at quarter to seven.
		
01:14:57 --> 01:14:59
			InshaAllah we will start our halaqa.
		
01:14:59 --> 01:15:01
			Wa sallallahu wa sallam ala nabiyyina Muhammad wa
		
01:15:01 --> 01:15:02
			ala alihi wa sahbihi ajma'in.
