praise Allah subhanho wa Taala we send blessings and salutations upon Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, his household all his companions May Allah subhanho wa Taala bless them all. And may He
bless every single one of us. Brothers and sisters, again, another beautiful evening from amongst
the eaves of the month of Ramadan. We don't know how many we will be seeing still, it's important
for us to turn to Allah subhanho wa Taala it's important for us to soften our hearts it's important
		
00:00:45 --> 00:01:28
			for us to eradicate the evil qualities that we may have within our hearts. For indeed, these golden
moments and opportunities are very rare. They are to be treasured by those who truly believe we ask
Allah subhanho wa Taala to grant us that conviction. So that Eunice Allah subhanho wa Taala. In the
very opening verses clarifies the statement, after what the kuffaar of Quraysh had been uttering
against Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, it is reported in the FC ribnica theory as well as the
Sila tabari narration of Abdullah an ambassador of the Allah and he says that when Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam presented his prophethood and he presented the message to the people of
		
00:01:28 --> 00:02:20
			polish. And the kuffar heard what he had to say. They started finding faults in what he came with,
not only what he came with, but even himself, they started saying things and they knew that he was
the best of the lot. Part of what they said was, it is strange for the Lord of the words, to decide
to send to us a messenger, who is just one of us, who has come as a human being from amongst us, to
us. If he wanted, he would have sent an angel from heaven. Why is it that he sent a human beings, we
need to stop for a minute, and we need to go back to look at Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
he was no ordinary human being. He was the best of creation. He was the top of the lot. He was the
		
00:02:20 --> 00:03:04
			best of all those to check the earth, all those to exist higher than the status of the highest of
angels, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, so he's not just an ordinary human being. But yes,
indeed he was human. At the same time he was the highest We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to grant us
the understanding the kuffaar of Quraysh could not even acknowledge that much. They said he's one of
us. He was a child who was an orphan. He was not that wealthy. He didn't really own much. He wasn't
achieved in society, not realizing he was always honest, trustworthy, he was blemish free. Allah
subhanho wa Taala help us lead lives that would inshallah be at least blemish free to a great
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:08
			degree. We ask Allah to grant us forgiveness wherever we have faltered. So
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:19
			Allah subhanho wa Taala makes mention of this verse number to sort of use a cannon in Sai Japan and
our hyena
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

00:03:46 --> 00:04:27
			Allah subhanho wa Taala says, did they find it strange did the people were they amazed by the fact
that we chose from amongst them, one to come to them to warn them. That is not strange for Allah
subhanho wa Taala. It is up to Allah He decides he chooses whom He will send to remind you to remind
me, sometimes a reminder comes to me from someone younger than me. Sometimes a reminder will come to
you from a person who might not even be so steadfast on the path. But on that particular item, they
may be right. For example, we might be doing something wrong in our lives. And here you have a
drunkard coming and saying, Hey, brother, you are the one who is doing this and doing that. And
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:59
			that's very, very bad. Well, I if we are to discount the statement based on the fact that he's a
drunkard, yet he was right. We are losers. This is why we need to know in Islam, what is right is
right on merits, not based on who brought it to you, no matter who brought it to you. If it's
correct its effect. Even if your enemy comes and correct you trust me that is a correction. May
Allah subhanho wa Taala help us understand the kuffaar of courage. They had a problem. They were
proud they were arrogant. They were saying why isn't it from our family? Why isn't it from this guy?
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:20
			Why didn't allow us in someone great. In fact, later on, Allah makes mention of how they started
saying it should have been a powerful man. It should have been a big leader. It should have been
someone else. One from the big, big cities. You know, there were two powerful cities nearby the city
of Mecca and the city of Paris. So do you know what the Kufa said? Another problem? work on una una
de la
		
00:05:22 --> 00:06:06
			la la mina Laconia teeny army they said why didn't Allah send this Quran down upon one men from the
from the cities. A powerful person from amongst these who are in the two cities makan pif. Why did
Allah have to choose such a man? So Allah replies, you know what Allah says? Whom yakushima naramata
Arabic? Are they the ones who choose how to distribute the mercy of Allah. If Allah wants to give
someone he will give, no matter what color they are, what tribe they belong to, where they come
from, no matter what if he wants you will give, it's not up to you. Subhana Allah, may Allah
subhanho wa Taala bless us and he opened our doors, you can have a child who might be from a family
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:22
			from the poorest region of the globe. If Allah wants to give him status and rank and knowledge and
power and wealth and anything else, it's up to Allah alone. Nobody has a choice in that regard. So
Allah says, Are they the ones who are in charge of distributing the mercy of Allah,
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			Allah says, no person
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:34
			shall feel higher in dunya, we are the ones who distributed their livelihood among them in this
world.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:07:00
			And that is a test for them to see whom from amongst them marks the other and whom from amongst them
is steadfast and so on. It's a last decision completely. This is why you find some people are
extremely intelligent. When they were at school, they used to rattle all the A's. But when they grow
older, a person who might have failed 10 times in primary school is now the multimillionaire. And
the guy who had the top results is struggling to find a job.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:40
			May Allah grant His goodness, it shows, sometimes you have a person, he doesn't have qualifications,
but he's wealthy, he's happy. That's the last choice. A lie is showing you it's got nothing to do
with you very little to do with what you have to do to actually apply in terms of your effort. But
it's got to do with us if we want we can give you you need to be happy with your portion. Now,
before we go to the next verse, I want to stop and I want to press the red button. A lot of us when
we are told what is right by the older man, we tend to want to find fault with the alum or with the
scholar rather than change our lives. Because for us, we have a very commercialized way of looking
		
00:07:40 --> 00:08:10
			at things that if I am to change my whole life because of what the scholar is telling me, it's going
to be very difficult but if I have to swipe at the scholar, it's going to be easy I'm going to get
big support and we can silence him so if the the scholar comes up and speaks about interest speaks
about halal and haram speaks about struggling the cause of Allah speaks about the dress code speaks
about alcohol speaks about upright business dealings, those from amongst us who are wealthy, rather
than say, Oh Allah, forgive me, strengthen me grant me strength. We say I'm going to fix this guy.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:46
			Why is he talking? I'm going to sort him out. We will go to the masjid go to the committee and tell
them silence this men. We don't want to hear this lie that was a disease of the roofer of Croatia
and it's been a disease ever since in the hearts of those who shaped on tries to entrap. Don't allow
shaitan to trap you. You draw the cell handle, I'm weak. I've made a mistake. This man is like no
matter how much I dislike the directness, but voila, he was the mercy of Allah. May Allah subhanho
wa Taala help us sometimes we have problems in our homes, with our in laws with our spouses, we hate
to be told that we are wrong. It's a fact we want to be told the other party is wrong. We hate to be
		
00:08:46 --> 00:09:00
			told correct yourself Watch out. But to be honest, let's not stoop as low as the co founder of
Quraysh. To start finding finding fault in that which was a message for our own betterment. May
Allah subhanho wa Taala correct us What a beautiful lesson.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:45
			Then we have verse number 15 of the same Surah Surah Yunus. Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks of
something quite similar again, according to the Tafseer of Mujahid the machine of Makkah, when the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam read the verses of the Quran to them, they went to him and they told him
you know, what, bring us a different for us. We've heard this what you're reading, we've heard it,
we want something else where you can accommodate us as well. You know, we have a lot we have an OSA,
we worship these idols, we try you know, to to maintain the DDD status quo. We try to protect what
our forefathers used to believe. So we don't have a problem with the Quran. But we want you to add a
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:50
			little bit in it. Come with something else where you can accommodate what we have to say.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:10:00
			Whoa, Subhana Allah, may Allah subhanho wa Taala help us. Sometimes you have a scholar, and he's
speaking and people go to him and say
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:06
			You know what I think maybe you shouldn't be saying this, perhaps you should do this. Perhaps you
should. If we're trying to add and subtract from the dean, we are wrong.
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:45
			If we are trying to advise and encourage and perhaps speak of the various methods of getting the
message across Alhamdulillah, no problem. But you cannot change the dean and the religion to suit
you. You have to change yourself to suit the dean. Let me give you one prime example. If you look at
the heavenly scriptures, we believe in the Torah, the Bible, we believe in the previous scriptures,
the Psalms of David May peace be upon him. We believe that these scriptures came from Allah subhanho
wa Taala. But we also believe that they were tampered with. The only scripture that we believe is
not tampered with it is in its pristine form is the foreign. one simple reason and we are going to
		
00:10:45 --> 00:11:22
			draw a lesson from these two verses is when it comes to the Quran, we were taught all mankind,
instead of adjusting the word of Allah to suit you adjust yourself to understand the word of Allah,
what the previous nations did, they adjusted the word of Allah for them to understand. So they lost
the original because they interpretations they drowned in them. What we are taught to do is adjust
yourself so you can understand the word of Allah learn the Arabic language so that you can
understand the word of Allah and if you do not know it, then the bare minimum is whenever the Quran
is being written, make sure the Arabic is on one side because that is the word of Allah as for the
		
00:11:22 --> 00:12:02
			rest of the languages, it is an attempt of my man to try and explain to you what he believes is the
closest to that which refers to the meaning of what Allah subhanho wa Taala has revealed. That's
what a translation is. It's not the word of Allah. It's a translation. The word of Allah is the
Arabic language. So why I've said this is because whenever it comes to religious rulings, whenever
it comes to the deen, remember it cannot be changed. No matter how the world changes, the word of
Allah will not be changed. May Allah subhanho wa Taala help us understand and maybe help us adjust
to the word of Allah subhanho wa Taala rather than falling prey just like shavon in trap those
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:15
			before us where they adjusted the word in order to suit them wherever they wanted to do that. So
Allah subhanho wa Taala says verse number 15. So let us worry that totleigh
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:24
			tuna Bina to Paula Nadine, Allah, una Nico Anna egb.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			Cooney,
		
00:12:34 --> 00:13:17
			Paul NFC, when the verses of the Quran were recited to them, those who did not look forward to the
last day to the meeting with Allah subhanho wa Taala. They said to Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam come
with another plan or change it, change it to accommodate as Allah says, tell them, it is not up to
me to come with changes in the Quran from myself. None of these verses are from me, they are in fact
from Allah subhanho wa Taala. May Allah grant us the understanding the next Surah Surah Hood, where
Allah subhanho wa Taala has made mention of so many interesting and important points, we will
actually speak of integration mentioned in the tabari by Abdullah Abdullah dead or the Allahu Allah.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:14:01
			He speaks about how there were people who used to be hypocritical, passing bad comments against
Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam in his absence. They used to say a lot of bad things. Now, pause for a
moment, if you have someone talking bad about you a lot. And they speak really bad behind your back.
When they come in your presence. How would they be? They would try and duck and dive that's the word
we use, isn't it? Because they don't want to see your face. They have this guilty conscience because
they know they've been talking bad about you. The fact that they speak bad about you, they feel
guilty in themselves that I don't want to see this person. How am I going to face them? They cannot
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:33
			look you in the eye because they know they are guilty. Imagine they did that to Muhammad Sallallahu
sallam, they spoke against him behind his back. And when they used to pass him, they used to cover
themselves they used to turn their chest they used to quietly go away. You know they used to duck
and dive literally these were hypocrites. Those who are true believers. They loved looking at
Mohammed Salah Salem, they would go they would grieve they would spend time they would learn they
would be corrected they would listen to Revelation they would pass the message. Let us be genuine my
brothers and sisters Let's be genuine to one another when I see you. I want to look at you I want to
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:51
			greet you I want to smile at you. I want to be able to tell you that I love you for the cause of
Allah subhanho wa Taala I don't want to have a grudge and the gripe in my heart where there is
hypocrisy. I don't like you but I'm smiling at you saying Salaam Alaikum Have you seen that? They
call it a plastic smile? Mashallah, bro smile from ear to ear.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:59
			My brother and he hates your guts. May Allah forgive us. Is that a Muslim, but this is what we're
doing today.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:41
			This is what we do we have no shame whatsoever sought your matters out. I'd rather tell you a Somali
can my brother look, we have something to sort out here Can we speak so Pamela will lie here it's
better to be genuine and have an expression that is Samba on your face than to have hypocrisy with
an expression that seems to be eclipsing everything that is under discussion. Allah subhanho wa
Taala forgive us. May Allah subhanho wa Taala help us so they used to turn away their chests hiding
from Mohammed Salah Salam and Allah subhanho wa Taala is telling them that when you cover yourselves
with your clothes in the night as well, Allah knows what is inside what you are covering what you
		
00:15:41 --> 00:16:17
			are hiding. Allah subhanaw taala knows absolutely everything. So this verse, verse number five of
solitude there are several generations that have been made mention of regarding some of the benefits
of the surah some of the reasons of revelation as well as a few of the stories surrounding the
sewer. But I've chosen a specific one and I've made mention of it is intersil tabari and the reason
is the lesson is great when they used to pass Mohammed Salah Salaam they used to duck and dive and
Allah is telling them Allah in yes known as odo only yes esta fomin Allah hain is una de
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			la Mama,
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			Mama your Nino
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:41
			behold, they used to turn away their chests to hide from him. Allah says they need to know,
unquestionably, that Allah subhanho wa Taala knows what they hide and what they disclose even at the
darkest times of the night when they are covering themselves with their own clothing.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:17:10
			The lesson? The lesson is that nobody can hide from Allah. You can hide from people you can cheat
someone you cannot cheat Allah. Allah knows hypocrisy. Allah knows the condition of your heart. So
try and strengthen yourself. Try and make yourself a person who What do you see is what you get and
hamdulillah May Allah subhanho wa Taala help us and may we be genuine people maybe as an Ummah,
learn to love one another for the sake of the fact that we share now ilaha illAllah Muhammad
Rasulullah sallallahu taala
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:56
			then there is a very interesting narration which affects every one of us. We are human beings,
people sin, and when they sin, they say I'm only a human. Have you heard that before? They say I'm
only human. I'm not an angel. I'm sinful. My brothers and sisters. We are sinful. Yes, good. No
Bernina dhamaka every son of Adam sins, every human being sins, but what we need to know Do not just
defy the sin by saying I'm human. It's okay. It's not okay. You are human. Yes, you may falter. But
go back to Allah. So Allah says, I have a plan in place. Listen to Allah plan. It is so merciful, so
beautiful, so amazing. It shows how loving Allah is. Allah says whenever you've made mistakes, when
		
00:17:56 --> 00:18:35
			you do a good deed after that mistake, the mistake gets wiped out without you even realizing at the
Seattle Hudson at the tempura. The Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us follow up
your bad deeds with lots of good deeds and the bad deeds will be wiped out. Here we are talking of
minuses because there are major sins. A major sin requires specific repentance. A person who's
committed adultery a person who's consumed alcohol, a person who's done something really nasty and
bad. The person who's a for example, skipped the Salah May Allah never ever let that happen to us,
but that would require specific repentance. You cannot just say okay, we were taught that I can just
		
00:18:35 --> 00:19:17
			now stop being good and I don't I can forget about the past. You can forget about the minor sins but
the major ones No, no, you need to repent and then you can ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah to
forgive you to help you not to repeat them then you can be inshallah calm that Allah's mercy will
engulf you by His goodness. So when a person commits a sin they would continue like for example, the
Hadith says if you read Salatu Juma properly correctly, and you read the next Juma in between you've
read all your Salah, but you make sure you've read the Juma Allah subhanho wa Taala will wipe out
all the minuses between the two jamaats Did you know that the same applies to Amara, you make an
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:47
			Amara, you make another hombre Allah wipes the minuses even those you don't know about. Do you know
we live in an environment that sometimes walking on the street you don't know you're sitting you
look left there's a sin you look right This isn't you thinking it's sinful. You're looking at your
phone, it's a sin. You look at the billboard, it's a sin. Sometimes we've we live in a society today
where it's difficult, it's really hard. And Allah knows this and Allah knows it's not your
intention. Nobody goes and looks at a billboard and sits there admiring the woman on the Billboard.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:54
			That's just a tire that they sell in perhaps Dunlop or something else. And Allah subhanho wa Taala
forgive us.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:20:00
			So my brothers and sisters, these types of sins they are forgiven. Next
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:30
			A lot that you read what's happened between the two is wiped out by the will of Allah subhanho wa
Taala. So, there is integration with the finale by evening masala and, and this narration has been
mentioned by many different Sahaba in fact in Sudan the tyranny they have a few different rewires
there is a way of abou mama why of Medina javelina bus barreda Jamia so many integrations So, it is
absolutely authentic, they say there was a man and he happened to touch a woman. He kissed him.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:21:05
			And he happened to without having got to adultery itself, but he regretted it. You know, he met her
something happened, he touched her he kissed her, and he regretted it badly but he did not commit
the act itself. And so he came to Mohammed Salah Salah, and he said, Oh messenger, I have committed
a sin. This is what I did. And he explained it according to the duration of Suzanna t MIDI Amr Bill
saatavilla han was there and he said, Hey, Allah covered you. Why are you exposing yourself? So
Panama, you learn a lot from the statement of
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:42
			Allah covers us, my brothers and sisters in order that we be forgiven, we go and repent to Allah, we
don't need to confess we are not people who belong to a faith whereby you need to go and confess
your sins to a person who is even more sinful than you are. But you don't know. We don't belong to
faiths, where you need to go to another human being just because he has a beard and he stands in the
front and you need to tell him whatever you've done in terms of sin, who is he with us? We are
Muslim in your sin is your secret between you and Allah, you cry in the corners of the night and you
ask Allah for forgiveness, and he wipes it out completely. It is never to be thought about again.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:22:20
			Don't even doubt the fact that you've been forgiven. Once you've asked us forgiveness. One of
shaytans traps my brothers and sisters is to make you think that you're not forgiving. After you've
asked the last forgiveness. That's an insult to Allah. When Allah says in Allah Hi, I'm Donna by
Jamia Indeed, Allah will forgive every single son of yours, then shaitaan comes it's a no no, no,
not you. This was a little bit too far. It's not too far for Allah. you repented. It's over. You
start a new leaf today here and now. That's it. I've got a new life. But the problem with us we say,
Well, I'm going to repent I'm still okay. When your knees start aching you say I'm still okay. When
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:58
			you block 50 I'm still okay. And then you block 60 do you think No, I still I think I've got a few
more years I'll be paying 6563 gone Mallanna do that to us. Now lawmakers from among those who can
repent even when we are young, young, healthy, bubbling with your bursting energy and you say Allah
forgive me, let me use my energy in the right direction. Let me use it for Salah for Sokka for
various good things. This is the way forward my brothers and sisters. So this man Omar will support
rhodiola and who tells him Allah covered you why you want to expose yourself. Now obviously he heard
this the prophet SAW Salem heard it everyone heard it. Nabi sallallahu Sallam was quiet. He didn't
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:14
			say anything. The men came, he didn't commit adultery, but he committed everything that led to
adultery. And he repented he it happened once and he was very, very sad. And he wanted forgiveness.
And he's, he's coming to say cleanse me Do whatever you have to. So a little bit later
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:20
			a verse was revealed and the Rasul Allah wa Salaam read this verse number 114 of Seurat hoods,
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:22
			opinion sala de la
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:32
			mina nail in Asana, t v Venus
		
00:23:34 --> 00:24:19
			Danica de Cali, Katie giti. establish your prayer at the two ends of the day and that nightfall,
fulfill your prayer for the sake of Allah, all your prayers, the prayers in the morning the prayers
in the evening, the prayers in the middle of the day, the prayers at all the times that which needs
to be established, and even that which is voluntary, over and above that which is compulsory.
establish your prayers at the two ends of the day and at nightfall and you should know that indeed,
your good deeds will wipe out your sins automatically. So hon Allah Subhana Allah amazing, your good
deeds, wipe out your sins. And Allah says Delica HCA that is a reminder for those who want to be
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:41
			reminded. You want to be reminded, well tell yourself I keep on doing good deeds. And this is why
brothers and sisters, your charities, your good deeds, your Vicar, your remembrance of Allah
subhanho wa Taala your recitation of the Quran the softening of your heart, the tears that roll down
your eyes, do you know how powerful they are? If you cry for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala a
warm tear.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:25:00
			That tear will be witness on the Day of Judgment such that the Hadith says a person who cried solely
for the sake of Allah will be called out to be from amongst the seven categories of people who will
be granted VIP status on the Day of Judgment, a special shaded area for them that no one else will
have.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:37
			Because you cried for Allah, my brothers and sisters, Allah is loving Allah is merciful. Allah
knows. Allah knows the pressure of society environment, and Allah knows the community you're living
in and he knows your struggle. But that does not mean you need to say, we just heard today Allah
knows my struggle I can send you knows that you know i That's all it is. That's not how we should be
looking at life. Live should be looked at more seriously but where you faltered where human nature
has made you fall, never lose hope in the mercy of Allah beautiful versus now we have the lovely
surah of the Quran. If I were to ask a lot of you, what's your favorite story in the Quran? What
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:38
			would you say?
		
00:25:39 --> 00:26:16
			So the use of see we've heard that Mashallah surah Yusuf, it's a surah the Prophet Joseph May peace
be upon him. His story is mentioned in the most beautiful way from the beginning of the surah. right
up to the end of the surah. Top of the story to the end of the story in order. It's one of the only
stories in the Quran that that happens with. If you look at the story of Musa alayhis salam, O Allah
salam, the others, it's all scattered in the Quran, use of La Salaam concentrate in one place. Here
it is you want to hear start off. So how did it come about? Don't you want to know? How did Allah
decide? Okay, I want to review this. It's the decision of Allah subhanho wa Taala It is reported,
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:30
			and this is a hadith made mention of mustard rock of Solomon Hakim hadith of Sadiq, Naboo, apostle
of the law and he says at the beginning the prophets of Salaam was reading the Quran. And after some
time, the people said
		
00:26:32 --> 00:27:15
			is they we would like to hear some speech. We would like to hear some speech meaning we want to hear
some speech. What is the speech this is all the speech of Allah subhanho wa Taala so Allah revealed
vs. Allahu Allah as an Al Hadith, Allah has revealed the best, the best of speech Hadeeth the best
of words that of Allah subhanho wa Taala What is it Kitab Amata shabbiha masani a book that is the
Quran which has similar verses with a Shabbat means it has similar verses you know before Rahim
appears so many times I like color coded appear so many times Yeah, you have Medina Amano appear so
many times. It has similar verses for the reasons that Allah knows best. And we know we need to
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:30
			remind us. So if I were to tell you something once, sometimes it's not enough. When I was young, my
dad used to say, if I tell you once, it's enough, when I grew a little bit older, I had to reply, I
said but Allah tells us about 10 times.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:28:09
			Allah subhanho wa Taala forgive us in Allah subhanho wa Taala open our doors and grant us ease you
know, when we become a little bit more intelligent and as we grow, we like to find excuses for not
having listened to what we were told, may Allah Subhana Allah Allah forgive us. So Allah says Kitab
and it's a book that has verses that are similar with a shotgun muthoni muthoni means repeated. So
there are certain verses you repeat a lot, like we said, sort of Fatiha. It's repeated so much. Some
of the shorter Sutras, we repeat them a lot. Some of the verses we repeat, and some of the verses
themselves, they are repeated in different places in the Quran. That is all the wisdom of Allah
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:17
			Subhana Allah, He knows why he said it several times in different places, same wording, different
wording all up to him. So he says
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:26
			the Akasha a Rumi No, no uno de la Vina Shona Baja, those who fear they're up, they develop
goosebumps when they hear the words of Allah.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			It means the skin tightens.
		
00:28:31 --> 00:29:12
			You know, when you when you hear stance, you hear the words of Allah. So Allah is describing a
simile, Hadith, the best of speech, and Allah says here it is. It's the book that has this type of
verses. And the skins of those who fear they would actually develop goosebumps when they hear this
recitation methylene blue Macondo boom Isla de la, and as a result, thereafter, the skin softens out
and the heart is inclined towards the remembrance of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Look at the effect. It
starts of listening. Similar verses it has an impact developing goosebumps and when the goosebumps
are gone, you find your heart is now softened. That's the description of the Quran. And it is
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:32
			accurate. The believers know we all know the impact of this powerful Quran after some time, even
though it'd be hard to make mention of an addition to the Hadith. And he says they said no that
kirtana we would like to hear some some type of reminder. So another verse was revealed elemi nealon
Nina mano
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:38
			shabu boom de de la semana de la mina apo
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:59
			has the time not come for the true believers to soften their hearts towards the remembrance of Allah
subhanho wa Taala and that which has been revealed in terms of the truth. How did we start today's
session? We said the days are numbered, didn't we? We said let's soften up let's not wait forever.
Let's turn to Allah before it is too late. That's exactly what this was.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:33
			Has the time not come for the true believers to soften their hearts towards the remembrance of
Allah? And what has been revealed in terms of the truth? How long do you want before you're going to
turn to Allah? Ask yourself, you are engaged in a sin. How many more years? Do you want to continue
in that sin? Or are you going to turn to Allah if you are going to turn to allow? When is the
question How many more reminders do you want? That is a question. We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to
help us and the last part of the duration is where surah Yusuf comes in. They asked low cost, they
said,
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:49
			Would you not tell us a story? Tell us a story. Amazing. So Allah says nothing no Napa soiree Santa
pazhassi beema beema hyena.
		
00:30:54 --> 00:31:23

entire surah uses was revealed in its completeness. We need to know one thing the stories of the
prophets were revealed in Makkah to mocha Rama, mostly all the time you see the name of a prophet in
