			smilla rahmanir rahim al hamdu lillahi wa kafa sallallahu wasallam obata Kyla
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:53
			All praise is due to Allah subhanho wa Taala blessings and salutations upon Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to bless every single one of us and the Muslim Omar
Lodge. As I said before the salah and Hamdulillah, the blessed month of Ramadan has rolled into
life. And we ask Allah Subhana Allah Allah to make us from amongst the Mk mouline those who are
accepted in this particular month, what a blessed month of month of sacrifice the month of the
Quran, we listen to the verses of the Quran in Salatu tarawih, at least in Salah tarawih and I'm
sure most of us would be completing the Koran, the recitation of it on our own, sometimes more than
		
00:00:53 --> 00:01:41
			one time. And I'm sure most of us would like also to go into the meanings of the verses of the
Quran. For many years we have been going through verses of the Quran at this particular juncture,
when it comes to salata, tarawih going through some of the verses we have recited in the tarawih
itself. This year, we are going to do it slightly differently. The reality is, if we take a look at
the subjects and the topics that are discussed in the Koran, there are so many topics, every Jews
every surah speaks about different things, sometimes the verses are repeated, sometimes they are
mentioned just once and sometimes they are repeated so many times was at other times, the verses are
		
00:01:41 --> 00:02:30
			actually repeated, but very little. So we asked Allah subhanho wa Taala to make this choice of hours
and acceptable choice Alhamdulillah what we will be doing is every day, we will be taking topics and
subjects and we will be looking into verses from the entire Koran connected to that particular topic
or those subjects with the idea of looking at the various angles from which Allah subhanho wa Taala
has discussed those particular subjects, one of the most important subjects what we are going to
start with today, I'm sure a lot of you are probably scratching your heads to think what is the
subject? It is a subject that is of utmost importance. Allah subhanho wa Taala has mentioned it most
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:40
			in the Quran. Most of the verses of the Quran is directed at this particular subject, the subject is
connected to the Creator Himself a law damariscotta Allah
		
00:02:42 --> 00:03:28
			and the subject is connected to the oneness of Allah subhanho wa Taala let us take a look through
the Quran we will not be mentioning every single verse because we will be here until so and I'm sure
most of us have things prepared for this particular so for seeing that it is the first Mashallah So,
we will look at as many verses as we can from the different angles mentioning the sutras inshallah
that these verses are mentioned in the idea is to learn to try and look at the method the Quran has
used to get to us. Now if we take a look at the opening verses of the Quran, we know that it is in a
surah known as Surah Al Fatiha the opening surah you know in cricket, the opening batsman is a very
		
00:03:28 --> 00:04:16
			very important batsman, it is no example and it is it does not fit when it comes to the Quran. But
Allah subhanho wa Taala decide decided to call it with a similar name Al Fatiha fetta means to open
and in fact he had is that Sora that has now commenced the Quran. We repeated that surah so many
times and we do repeat it every single time we read our Salah May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us
from those who Salah is acceptable. We enjoyed the Korea, none of us are complaining Alhamdulillah
and the idea is to sit and listen carefully to the words of the Quran. Because these words will have
an impact on us, even if we don't understand them. When you hear the Muharram the pronunciation of
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:32
			these words and you listen to the eloquence of the Quran, Subhana Allah, it has a soothing effect on
the mind, but only if you have the love of Allah within you. If you do not have the love of Allah
subhanho wa Taala within you it will become a burden for you like the kuffaar used to say
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			vena cava
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:59
			who they used to say, Do not listen to this foreign and make noise whilst it is being recited so
that you can be from amongst those who win. So when the kuffaar knew that if you would like to win,
then you must abandon the poor and you must make sure no one listens to it.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			We are the opposite. Allah says
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			Whoa, no boo,
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:08
			boo,
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:50
			boo ha, will they not take the time and make the effort to try and understand the verses of the
Quran? Or its locks on their heart? May Allah make us not from amongst those whose hearts are locked
and sealed from understanding the Quran. So the oneness of Allah subhanho wa Taala How does the
Quran address the issue of oneness? The fact that Allah is one, he's alone. He does not like
partners, he does not permit us to associate partners. In fact, the greatest crime I could commit
and you could commit is to associate a partner with Allah subhanho wa Taala. Allah says
Alhamdulillah
		
00:05:52 --> 00:06:46
			me he decided to open the Koran with the words of praise Subhana Allah, All praise is due to Allah
subhanho wa Taala The Lord of the worlds the term of boon includes the creator nourisher cherisher
sustainer provider protector cure, the one in absolute control, remember the one in absolute
control. Look at how the oneness of Allah subhanho wa Taala is made is being made mention of in the
opening words of the Quran. When Allah says, our walk, man you're walking, He is the Most Merciful.
He is the Most Beneficent Subhana Allah. Allah subhanho wa Taala opens the surah and opens the Quran
with mention of His mercy that he is the one who is merciful. Anyone else that name arrived man in
		
00:06:46 --> 00:07:33
			that particular way, we are not allowed to even have it for ourselves. It is either Abdul Rahman,
the slave of Allah, the slave of the most forgiving the slave of the Most Merciful, Abdullah who,
man none of us can call ourselves a law, nor can we call our children a law. He is one he's alone,
he's the only one with that particular name and the other qualities of Allah subhanho wa Taala. When
we add an Elise and alarm in front of them, they are singularly for Allah subhanho wa Taala man
referring to the most forgiving, the Most Merciful, then Allah subhanho wa Taala says, Maliki Omi,
there is another way of mentioning the oneness of Allah Who is the Owner of the Day of Judgment,
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:52
			there is not more than one, just one He is the Supreme Owner of the Day of Judgment, the one and
only Subhana Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala in draws our attention to the fact that we need to be
careful who we worship, that is in the opening surah of the Quran, he cannot do.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:41
			You alone we worship, look at how the Oneness comes in. Allah is telling us what to say. And Allah
says, and we do say it in Salah so many times you alone, we worship you alone, we seek help from May
Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us guidance. When it comes to seeking help and assistance, we need to
realize that something that someone has which is physically in front of you which you can actually
see and you are asking them to assist you through that which is tangible, that which you can see
that which you can feel and you feel Allah has given them the ability to give that to you You are
allowed to ask them for it. For example you are sitting on the table and you ask someone please pass
		
00:08:41 --> 00:09:15
			me the salt, it does not mean now I must make it hard to say Allah put it in the heart of that man
to give me the salt because we are taught er cannot stay in you alone we seek help from I need the
salt from the other part of the table you know, we know that it is Allah who has given the ability
to that particular individual to pass the salt. Now after that it's in the hands of Allah whether he
allows that person to pass you the salt or not. They could just freeze they could become paralyzed.
They could suffer a heart attack as they are picking it up that's in the hands of Allah May Allah
grant us good health inshallah.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:48
			But when it comes to issues of the unseen issues that we know solely Allah is in control of
completely and he has not allowed anyone a chance in his happiness, sadness when it comes to good
fortune when it comes to sustenance and so on. We ask Allah alone to grant us that Baraka and we
seek refuge from shavon then Allah subhanho wa Taala in Swaziland Baka makes mentioned in the
opening verses of Surah Baqarah just a few verses down. Allah says yeah
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			coo coo coo
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			coo coo
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:58
			coo
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			counted
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:51
			the addresses to mankind at large or mankind worship your Rob I told you up includes the one who
created you, nourishes you provides for you, sustains you, protects you the one in control of your
life, where shift your up. Allah says, the one who has created you and created all those before you.
Now look at how Allah is drawing our attention to his oneness through creation. He says, Who made
you who created you? Now he is drawing our attention to the fact that he is alone. He's one. Not
only did he make you and me but all those who died before us as well. Those who were created before
us. It is amazing how Allah subhanho wa Taala draws our attention to this. Then we have another
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			verse in the same surah
		
00:10:54 --> 00:11:10
			where Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about those who are Jews, those who are Christians, the sabians
those who believe in Allah and those who believe in the last day, they have nothing to fear about in
Allah Dena
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			Sabi
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:26
			nila saw de Bella
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			beam. Wala Oh,
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			Allah says,
		
00:11:39 --> 00:12:24
			Those who believe in Allah subhanho wa Taala, those who were Jews, the time Judaism was acceptable
at the time of Musa alayhis salam, those who are Christians at the time of Isa Allah is Salatu was
Salam. And Allah says those who are Sapiens and those who believed in Allah and the Last Day, for
them, there is no need to fear or worry, Allah will grant them their reward. May Allah Subhana Allah
Allah make us truly from amongst those who believe in these verses, take a look at how Allah draws
our attention to his oneness, by making mention of the last day as well. A very interesting point is
wherever Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks of hypocrisy. He always or a lot of the times he includes
		
00:12:24 --> 00:13:05
			the issue of belief in the last day, because if someone does not believe truly in the last day, you
will find they will become hypocritical. They might say we believe in Allah, but if their belief in
the last day is not solid, then Allah subhanho wa Taala says there is a chance they might become
hypocritical, and this will be detrimental for him. May Allah protect us from that. This is why if
we would like to protect ourselves from hypocrisy, it is important that we believe in the last day
properly. We believe in the last day correctly. What does this mean? This means that at all times we
are conscious of the answerability to our own creator of bullies that he will general May Allah
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:41
			subhanho wa Taala grant that to us, if we are at all times conscious of the unsuitability to Allah
subhanho wa Taala, what would go wrong? Nothing at all would go home. Because we wouldn't be
speaking out of turn, we would not be talking or walking out of turn, we would not be engaged in
anything out of 10 because we know that Allah subhanho wa Taala is taking a record of absolutely
everything and we will be questioned by Allah subhanho wa Taala. Let's look at another verse. Allah
draws the attention of ours to the oneness of his Allah subhanho wa Taala says, What is our father,
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			Pagani
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:48
			de la buena de la la
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			de
		
00:13:53 --> 00:14:36
			la Singh. Remember the time we took the covenant from the children of Israel in Yaqoob, Allah is
Salatu was salam, that they should worship none other than Allah subhanho wa Taala and do good to
their parents. This was a covenant that Allah took from Bologna, Swahili, but it is applicable to us
as well. We should be worshipping none other than Allah and be good to our parents. Look at what
Allah is saying when he says do not worship anyone but him but himself. He is referring to the fact
that he is one and the loan and how he connects it with our parents. One might ask what is the
connection between our mind our parents, very simple, it is a very close link. What is the link? A
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:59
			lot created us? Is that not correct? Yes, it is. Allah subhanho wa Taala created us and he chose as
a means for our creation, our parents, that's the link. So Allah decided whom our parents should be
we did not decide that none of us seated here. None of us listening can actually claim that we
decided who our parents are or were some hands on.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:31
			This is why Allah imposes upon us to say, Be careful and watchful about my oneness. And immediately
after that, what's your link with your parents? May Allah subhanho wa Taala not make us oppressive
parents and May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us from amongst those children who will obey their
parents where they are mentioning or commanding or ordering that which is reasonable. Remember,
where they are unreasonable outside the fold of the Sharia, then that is where we stop because Allah
comes before everyone else.
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:42
			Then Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about the one who has surrendered to Allah subhanho wa Taala By
Allah, man, Islam Allah.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:16:30
			Allah he seen me the one who has surrendered himself for Allah subhanho wa Taala and has done good
deeds. Allah says for them, there is a great reward which Allah has kept with themselves now
surrendering to Allah subhanho wa Taala also is drawing our attention to the fact that he is one
Subhana Allah to Allah because we are not to surrender to anyone else besides Allah when the
commands of Allah comes in that is first and last, if anyone's command falls within the command of
Allah subhanho wa Taala and they happen to be from amongst the circle whom Allah has required us to
obey, then we will obey them. Moments ago we spoke about parents, anyone over you or you know,
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:41
			authority over you. If they have ordered us something within the framework of what Allah has
ordered. We will adopt it because it does not contradict with what Allah says. Law Attorney Mark
Newton FEMA says
		
00:16:43 --> 00:17:18
			there is no obedience for a creation of a part of the creation when it comes to the disobedience of
Allah subhanho wa Taala someone is imposing that you drink the father tells the child look if you
are my child, I want you to drink this bottle of alcohol. The answer is no my father Allah comes
before you. But when the father says Pass me the water from the fridge it becomes a command because
that's your father. Now Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us all protection. Then Allah subhanho wa
Taala makes mentioned or draws our attention to his oneness by something amazing again, he speaks
about Ibrahim alayhi salatu was Salam
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:22
			what color either all of a
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			sudden Amina
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			Amina sama demon.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:18:25
			Allah says that remember the time Ibrahim alayhi salatu was Salam made the dua and he said oh my
god, make this town make this city of maka, maka, maka mama making a very safe place and grant its
inhabitants with all forms of sustenance. Those who believe in you, those who believe in Allah grant
them sustenance so Han Allah and those who believe in the last day granted sustenance, what is the
connection of the oneness of Allah and the belief in the last day and sustenance, we should all
understand that sustenance is in the hands of Allah subhanho wa Taala. He might have kept the
efforts within our hands to a certain extent, we need to try how much we get and how much blessings
		
00:18:25 --> 00:19:07
			we get in what we get. That is in Allah's hands, no one else's hands. A man can work for 10 hours
and earn 50 runs, and the man can work for one hour and earn 50,000 grams. That's from Allah Subhana
Allah Allah, it's the effort. It's the intellect as well. But the blessings are from Allah. The
acceptance is from Allah, that men who earn 50 raise might be more content than the one who earn
50,000 rands that's also from Allah, that men who earn 50,000 might have blown it in the casinos, or
might have spent it in a way that he has no record of it, it went so quick, whereas the man who has
has only 50 grand, might still have some change after the week has finished. That's from Allah
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:30
			subhanho wa Taala. Remember one thing, if you'd like to know, and to increase the Baraka in your
sustenance and how you get it, it is by abstaining from Haram. Don't ever employ prohibited methods
to earn a living, and don't ever spend your money on something prohibited because if that is the
case, you will lose blessings in your wealth. May Allah Subhana Allah Allah protect us. Then another
very important point.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:35
			Allah says, mentioned Yaqoob and a Salam
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:40
			Shahada in how about I
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			call an ebony
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:59
			body? Were you there? Were you present when Allah subhanho wa Taala says when dead came to Yaqoob
Allah is Salatu was Salam Were you there at the time? Let us tell you what happened. He called all
his son
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:35
			If I call anybody Hema Tombow dunamis body, he did not ask them a question listen my son, how much
do you want from my estate? He didn't say 10% is yours and that house is yours and this building is
yours and that is mine and this should be for my wife and so on. No, that was not the discussion at
the point of his death. At the point of his death he asked one simple question what are you going to
worship after me? Talk to me, tell me what am I taught you? So they responded. Oh Nando de la haka
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			is
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			is
		
00:20:48 --> 00:21:31
			the said oh Father, we will worship your Allah The one you taught us to worship, and the one who was
worshipped by our forefathers, Ibrahim and his marine and his heart melas peace be upon them. One
Allah, we are not going to associate partners with Allah imagine, on his deathbed. What do we learn
from this? The issue of the oneness of Allah, we need to teach our children up to the last breath.
We need to continue repeating it, check it within ourselves and convey the message even to our
children more than anyone else. Sometimes Mashallah we know things, but we do not share it with our
children. Look at this man, Prophet of Allah. He called he called his children he gathered them. And
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:54
			he asked them a simple question, what are you going to worship after me? How many of us can be that
concerned about the oneness of Allah and how important it is to teach our children regarding the
oneness of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Then, another very important point is we should all make dua to
Allah to keep us upon that oneness and our children as well. robina
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			Mosley maynila, aka
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			Tina.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:03
			Muslim,
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:37
			Ibrahim alayhi salatu salam, when he builds the Kaaba, with his Malay salam, he made a dua saying Oh
Allah make the two of us submit as unto you alone, and even from our offspring and our progeny. Make
from amongst us those who will submit to you alone, may Allah subhanho wa Taala make us from amongst
those who can make a dua for ourselves or our children for our offspring. Those to come up to the
day of the AMA, may Allah subhanho wa Taala keep them steadfast on this D. Let's look at another
point.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:42
			Allah subhanho wa Taala says, What either Salah kariba
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:48
			Cory Wu Ji
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:58
			Ji Bulli one you may know de la
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:48
			when they asked you Oh Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when my worship was asked you about me
meaning about Allah subhanho wa Taala tell them I am very, very close, I am very near. I answered
the call of every single cola immediately and positively. And Allah says, so let them call out unto
me alone, and let them believe in me alone in order for them to be rightly guided. So if we would
like to be rightly guided, it's the oneness of Allah. Do you know what the Hadith says? The Hadith,
which is a hadith could see meaning Allah is speaking. He says Allah Allah Shaka Yana Shiki Minami
la Milan Ashoka de Maria v. Taku.
		
00:23:50 --> 00:24:15
			I am independent of the one who associates partners with me and the one who was associated as a
partner with me. I'm independent of them, I don't need them. Whoever Allah continues to say in this
idea footsie he says whoever associates a partner with me, I will leave him and that which he has
associated and I will throw them out. May Allah subhanho wa Taala not throw us out.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:27
			Then Allah subhanho wa Taala draws our attention to the fact that all the others have also believed
in Allah alone. Amano rasuluh Bhima
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			De La Nina, email
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:31
			me
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:34
			cologne.
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:59
			Allah, Allah says the messenger has accepted that which was revealed to him by Allah subhanho wa
Taala. And so have the believers and oh all of them have believed and surrender to Allah subhanho wa
Taala, including the angels. So now allies drawing our attention asking us a question, a question
that is hidden, it's not actually there, but we can understand it if Allah is
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:17
			saying they have all believed in me. Are you going to believe in me as well or you're going to miss
the boat. Now lawmakers from amongst those who can also believe we want to be included in this list
we want to be included in the term of meaning inshallah, so May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant that
to us inshallah.
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:27
			Then the opening verses of surah Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala says, and I'm sure we've heard this
verse many times, Allah
		
00:25:35 --> 00:26:11
			this verse appears in the Koran twice, definitely it is he Allah Subhana Allah Allah, the One who is
living, the one who is ever living Subhana Allah, the One who sustains and protects absolutely
everyone. He is one alone, he does not have any partners, William Subhana, Allah, then Allah
subhanho wa Taala is asking us to convey this message of oneness to others, including the Jews and
the Christians. Allah says to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam go out and speak to the people of
the book, those who have heavenly scriptures.
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:19
			lendkey tabetha illa kalamaki. So
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:21
			you
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:29
			all people have the book, go out and tell the people of the book or people of the book,
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:41
			come to a statement that is common between us what is the statement? I Lana Buddha? Allah how Allah
shriek me a
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:44
			tequila
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:46
			bottle.
		
00:26:51 --> 00:27:37
			The statement is that we should not worship God besides Allah subhanho wa Taala let us only worship
the one we must not associate partners with him and we must not take one another as Gods besides
Allah subhanho wa Taala so that is a statement Ally's mentioning it. One is it has a lesson for me
and you and two is that it is actually referring to the message now being delivered to others may
Allah subhanho wa Taala make us from those who can deliver the message to others inshallah,
inshallah camisa. Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about hypocrisy in spending. This is the month of
Ramadan many people are going to spend, may Allah accept that spending, Allah says, warning the
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:41
			people who are spending with a quality of hypocrisy. Allah says
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45
			when levina yo una
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:53
			una Been a while having yummy.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:28:02
			Allah says, and for those and he's warning them, those who do not believe are those in fact, who
spend their wealth
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:41
			in order to show off that I have spent so much and this is from me, and that I am the one who's
responsible of this and of that, and I did this and I did that. Allah says if they are those from
amongst them who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, remember I told you when Allah speaks
about belief in himself and the last day, it is normally connected to hypocrisy, either before that,
or after that Allah is speaking of hypocrisy. So Allah is wanting us to say when you spend only for
Allah, only for his sake, no one else we want Allah subhanho wa Taala to watch it, and we want him
to be pleased with us and we want him to grant us all the goodness in sha Allah.
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:59
			Then Allah Subhana, Allah to Allah says, regarding again, those who say that Allah is one of three
part of a trinity. Allah says lapada Kapha one lady Nepal palu in Allahu Allah mercy.
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:06
			And in another verse, Allah says lapada Kapha on levena upon who?
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:26
			Those who have said that Allah is the third of three have actually disbelieved and they've exited
from the fold of submission. Allah says, wanna amin? Illa Illa Allah who
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:49
			know the God is only one, the creator, the worship one is only one singular. He is not a part of a
trinity. Allah says the issue of Trinity does not make sense to those who have intellect May Allah
subhanho wa Taala grant us all a deeper understanding. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala says, After he
makes mention of himself, he says
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:53
			buku
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			take a look at that. Who is your
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:06
			Have a look at the creation of a law a law says Harley Zhu Li
		
00:30:07 --> 00:31:06
			boo. He is the one who has created absolutely everything. So render your acts of worship to him
alone. Allah says Subhana Allah, may Allah make us from those who are conscious of this. Then Allah
subhanho wa Taala says, regarding the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam commanding him instructing
him, say O Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in Uppsala t cuando. Su ke, Rama, Rama T. You on be
like me, la sharika Wahby Danica O'Meara, Allah subhanho wa Taala says, say that my prayer, my acts
of worship, my sacrifice, my life and my death is all for Allah subhanho wa Taala no partners do I
associate with him because he has absolutely no partners. May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us from
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:12
			those whose life and death is for the one who gave the life and the one who is going to take it
away? I mean,
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:25
			then Allah subhanho wa Taala mich mentioned in Surah, Allah and in many other suitors of the Quran
of the previous prophets, and this is a lesson for us. Allah says, What Allah Azza
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:30
			wa Isla mediana upon schweiz eva
		
00:31:31 --> 00:32:21
			Buddha who saw he had, Allah speaks about how he sinks to the people of Who are the people of Allah
subhanho wa Taala since him who died is salatu salam, the people of the moon Allah sent him sila la
salatu salam, the people of shrine Allah system, or the people of medion, Allah Singh Shyvana is
Salatu was Salam. What do all these messengers say? Every single one of them it is mentioned in the
Quran, Allah, Buddha la melaku mean Illa Who are you? Every one of them said to their people worship
Allah alone. You have no other directory besides Amar, there is no hope for me or for you. besides
Allah subhanho wa Taala has mercy May Allah subhanho wa Taala makers from those who can take heed?
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:43
			Look at how I was drawing the attention of his oneness through mentioning what the previous prophets
told them there are people surely we have a lesson to learn from that, if that was the core of the
message. If that was the beginning of the message, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to make us from
those who can learn a lesson and who can follow in sha Allah. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks
about
		
00:32:45 --> 00:33:01
			the fact that when it comes to sacrifice for the sake of Allah, true believers who believe in Allah
alone, they will not excuse themselves, they won't present some lame excuse is that Renu can levena
you mean? I
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:03
			mean,
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:04
			I
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:06
			hate to be
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:53
			pushing him when it comes to sacrifice when it comes to struggle with ourselves and with and with
our wealth. When it comes to that type of struggle. Allah subhanho wa Taala says, those who truly
believe in Allah, they will not present excuses. And this draws our attention to the fact that when
we believe in the oneness of Allah subhanho wa Taala then naturally we will be from amongst those
who love to aid to sacrifice for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala. When we come for Salah we have
sacrificed it's an effort. When we spend in the path of Allah, we will be spending out of the love
of Allah, we won't become stingy. And we won't only calculate in such a way that if there is a doubt
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:59
			we use the lesser of the two figures, if that's the case, and there is something wrong with our
belief in Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:18
			in Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks into Toba. Now, about those who want to turn away those who want
to turn away Allah says to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when they turn away, all you should
say is look Allah is sufficient for me. And I believe in Allah alone for
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:23
			Falco, hestia la,
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:26
			la,
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:29
			la de la
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:58
			bola allow machine Lauby. Now if they want to turn away, you should be upright and you should utter
the words has to be a law a law is sufficient for me. And Allah subhanho wa Taala is alone. I
entrust absolutely everything in Allah subhanho wa Taala. Allah hit our country is the hub. We ask
Allah subhanho wa Taala to grant us every form of protection and every form in sha Allah of
understanding
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:02
			Sua Yunus Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07
			about musala is Salatu was Salam.
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:20
			They needed the help of Allah subhanho wa Taala. They needed assistance from Allah Subhana Allah to
Allah. And Allah says wirkkala Moosa comi coo go to
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:28
			find a COO, COO,
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:38
			meanie musala his salatu wa sallam told his people that oh my people if you believe in Allah
subhanho wa Taala
		
00:35:40 --> 00:36:13
			then lay your full trust in Allah. So if we believe in the oneness of Allah subhanho wa Taala we
need to lay our trust in Allah subhanho wa Taala that is when the assistance of Allah subhanho wa
Taala will come to us, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to grant us every single form of assistance.
And in this way, there are many, many verses in the Quran, which draw our attention to the oneness
of Allah subhanho wa Taala. In fact, Allah describes the day of the Yama and Allah says in Surah
Ibrahim, Yama tuber Daniel
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:18
			be on that day the earth shall be changed into a different Earth
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:23
			was somehow Wah, wah
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:24
			wah.
		
00:36:27 --> 00:37:00
			Allah says on that day even the sky is shall be changed and everyone will appear to a law the one
the most powerful, the irresistible alcohol nobody can run away from Allah subhanho wa Taala May
Allah subhanahu wa taala grant us every form of benefit and May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us
in every single way. Look at how Allah is drawing our attention, describing the day of the AMA and
saying on that day, he is one he is alone, supreme Allah subhanho wa Taala then Allah also subhanho
wa Taala
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:03
			he brings the issue of
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:20
			his prays together with the oneness of Allah subhanho wa Taala and he says in Surah Surah i to the
end Allah says we're calling hamdulillah hilarie Lamia takigawa, la de Waal, Aamir Khan Lucia de
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:56
			se, All praise is due to Allah who did not take anyone as a son or as a child and he has not
associated or he has not got anyone as a partner with Allah subhanho wa Taala. Then Allah subhanho
wa Taala says in Surah Al ambia. And this is a very interesting point. He is now describing to us in
a different way. That if there was more than one a law, then there would be chaos. That is why there
is one and they can only be one. Why would there be chaos? Allah subhanho wa Taala says, No canopy
		
00:37:58 --> 00:38:04
			Illallah Muna fossa data, another person's moon, Allah says, My
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:14
			oma can booming La Ilaha Illa.
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:24
			Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Wa, Allah says, They Allah has not taken a son.
		
00:38:25 --> 00:39:02
			And there is no one as a partner with Allah, He does not have a partnership, like we have
partnership in business and so on. This one has 50% that one has 50 No, there is no partnership
because if there was a partnership, the Quran says every one of them would want to become hotter
than the other higher than the other. You know, when you have two partners in business, 5051 says
It's me who's running the business. The other one says no, it's me. One says no, I'm the one who
secures all the deals. The other one says no, it's me who actually sends the customers. They're the
ones says I do the hard work. And the other one says no, it's me who does the hardware. So Pamela,
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:10
			one of them will tell you I am the one who made the microphone work. And the other one will tell you
no, it's me. May Allah subhanahu wa taala grant us understand.
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:46
			So this is why it's important that we realize it's impossible for there to be more than one creator.
The country cannot have more than one president. Why? Because they would not know what their
portfolios are. May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us they would be confusion and there will be
chaos on Earth. So that is also a means of drawing our attention to the fact that Allah subhanho wa
Taala is one then Allah draws our attention. In surah number of so many different items He has
created an after every verse, he says
		
00:39:49 --> 00:40:00
			law is there a creator or is there a rub? Is there a God with Allah subhanho wa Taala look at all
the
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:30
			creatures. Is this someone with a loss from Hannah hautala Neva isn't Allah says, but many of them
don't understand. Many of them don't realize. And Allah says no after he asked the question a third
and the fourth time, he says, glory be unto Allah He is above all that they are describing and
describing. Now Allah subhanho wa Taala protects every single one of us. Then Allah draws our
attention to his oneness through mentioning forgiveness, walking,
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:41
			the walk kabini that will be shared ecobee only Poli La Ilaha
		
00:40:42 --> 00:41:32
			Illa e la si. Amazing Allah says he is the one who accepts repentance, he is the one who will
forgive those who have amazing Subhana Allah and he is the one who holds severe punishment. He can
choose to punish me he not choose to punish us. May He have mercy on us and forgive us in sha Allah.
Then Allah subhanho wa Taala says, He is the one everyone is going to return to Him. Look at how
Allah is drawing our attention today. And the fact that death itself is a reminder that Allah is
one. In what way the one who made us is the one who we are going to return to the giver of life is
the taker of it, and he is one we are going to return to Him Subhana Allah, Allah Allah, may Allah
		
00:41:32 --> 00:42:07
			subhanho wa Taala grant us the understanding in sha Allah, then Allah makes mention of the fact that
people will come to you and they will try and convince you that there is more than one Allah, they
will try and convince you that Allah subhanho wa Taala is not singular, he is not one and alone. And
they will try and convince you to worship other creatures besides Allah. When we say creatures we
are talking of people, we are talking of wealth, we are talking of other laws of the dieties Allah
subhanho wa Taala tells Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who tell them oh Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:14
			he that mo
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:18
			a you have j
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:54
			O you who are ignorant? Are you trying to command me? And are you trying to instruct me and order me
to obey others besides Allah subhanho wa Taala I'm not a fool. What does this verse teach us? He
teaches us that if people could try and go to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam to convince him to
turn away from Allah, then surely people will come to us to try and convince us and to turn us away
from Allah subhanho wa Taala as well. We should not allow that to happen to us. And Allah subhanho
wa Taala then speaks about
		
00:42:55 --> 00:43:11
			forgiveness. And he says, fine alum you should know, no law, no law, that there is none worthy of
worship besides the law was stolen feel
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:15
			and seek forgiveness for your sin.
		
00:43:16 --> 00:44:00
			seek forgiveness for your sins. This verse was revealed to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he
was sinless. The lesson is for all of us. Subhana Allah. If Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was
asked to seek forgiveness for sins, he never committed. What about us? When we commit sins on a
daily basis, there is only one whom we can turn to the one whom Allah subhanho meaning the one who
is Allah subhanho wa Taala. Then there are beautiful verses in source with Hashem, which I'm sure
most of us know of by heart, where Allah makes mention of many of his names, I will not go into
every single one of them. But let me recite the opening verses, Allah says, who Allah, Allah, Allah.
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:04
			He repeats that verse, thrice there.
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:08
			And Allah says, Ah,
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:23
			he is the one who knows the unseen and he knows the scene Better Than Anyone Else, the unseen and
the scene which is also connected to the unseen Subhan. Allah when someone does a deed we can see
it, but we cannot see the sincerity behind it. Allah sees that.
		
00:44:25 --> 00:45:00
			Then Allah subhanho wa Taala continues and he says al Malik, he is the one the king the owner, the
Supreme. I will do, I will do so Salah. No, no, I mean, amazing, beautiful Names of Allah, Allah
alone. He is the supreme controller of absolutely everything. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks
about some people who will attack those who believe solely in the law, and the fact that we who
solely believe in one Allah
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:13
			We need to realize that the others are not going to sit back and watch they will be from amongst
them, those who will try to attack us just because we believe. Look at what Allah says. And it's all
connected to the same topic.
		
00:45:14 --> 00:45:17
			Allah says in Surah Guruji Amen.
		
00:45:18 --> 00:45:20
			Amen, amen como me know
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:28
			me move in LA Hila zz hammy.
		
00:45:29 --> 00:46:22
			Why did they retaliate? Why did they attack meaning, there was no other reason for that to happen
besides the fact that these meaning believes in Allah alone. So when you believe in Allah alone, you
should realize there will be people sitting in planning your downfall. Because that true belief has
the power and the ability to go so fast out of common sense today. And always, Islam is the fastest
growing religion on the globe. intellectuals, especially females across the globe, are accepting
Islam. Some statistics show that up to 50, or more than 50 people in the United States of America
alone, are accepting Islam on a daily basis up to today. Subhana Allah, this is the oneness of
		
00:46:22 --> 00:47:10
			Allah, because we do not take any risk when we wish. We worship the one who made us, the one who
created us, the term Allah is derived from Allah, the worship one Allah hi yah hoo meaning to
worship Allah Lu, the one who is worship, that is the name of Allah, the One who is worshipped. So
we are calling him Allah, he decided for us to call him the one who is worshipped so that we can
eradicate and remove any risks of calling some individual name. Imagine people call Moses, Allah
protect us. People call Jesus May Allah protect us. People call out to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wasallam what guarantee do we have that these creatures of Allah subhanho wa Taala will actually
		
00:47:10 --> 00:47:47
			respond to our call? What makes us different from the others who call out to others besides Allah
subhanho wa Taala. What makes us different is that we will call out to Allah alone, whoever created
me, that's whom I'm going to ask mercy from whoever made me whoever I'm going to return to, that is
whom I will say, Oh, you who is the worshipped one, the one whom I'm going to return to have mercy
on me when I return to you so Han Allah, no risks involved. And for this reason, Allah subhanho wa
Taala makes mention of an entire surah, the surah known as the sutra of sincerity, so that's really
cool.
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:56
			I had the I see some of you are smiling, knowing that now we're coming to the end of the talk so Han
Allah, you know, it's towards the end of the Quran.
		
00:47:57 --> 00:48:48
			Allah says kulu Allah had say a law is one he is singular, the one we worship, if someone wants to
know who he is, he is singular, he is one he is alone, a law who saw mother, Allah subhanho wa Taala
is supreme, he is independent. He does not depend on anyone. He is one of his kind, and that's if he
is not in need of absolutely anyone. lamea lead, he does not give birth, he has never given birth.
He does not beget while I'm you lead and he was not begotten, he was not given birth to. He is the
Supreme, he has no beginning and no ending. He was there before the beginning and he will be there
be after the ending? That is Allah, while Amir Kula who Khufu one had no one, no creature, nothing
		
00:48:48 --> 00:49:29
			at all can be similar to Allah in any of his names or qualities. There is a verse there is an entire
surah wherein that risk comes in May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us from those who realize and
understand that he is alone, he is singular, he is one he is the one who needs to be worshipped and
he alone will be worshipped this topic of the oneness of Allah subhanho wa Taala is so great, I hope
and I pray that we have benefited from the various verses of the Quran which have discussed this
issue of the oneness of Allah subhanho wa Taala we have only mentioned but of you and we have only
mentioned certain angles. There are so many other verses the Quran is full of declarations of the
		
00:49:29 --> 00:49:45
			oneness of Allah. The question is, am I ready to understand and take heed and to leave everything
besides Allah subhanho wa Taala and turn to Him alone or sallallahu wasallam albaraka Allen Amina
Mohammed Subhana Allah Allah Subhana Allah home or the ham the connection to Allah, Allah inlanta
