AI: Summary ©

The AMA discusses the importance of understanding the meaning and actions of Islam, particularly in light of recent corruption in the region. The speakers emphasize the need to address past mistakes and learn to express views. The use of "has" in Arabic language is discussed, as it relates to "has" meaning "has" in the context of "has" in the language used in the book. The importance of learning to be strong and confident in one's life is also emphasized. The segment also touches on the surah and its implications for men and women, including the belief in Islam and the importance of not acknowledging sex and sex-related issues in Islam.

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatu
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:29
			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen All praise is due to Allah subhanho wa
Taala. Also Leo sallim ala Nabina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi his main blessings and
salutations upon Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and upon all his companions and followers,
including ourselves and our offspring up to the day of the AMA, may Allah subhanho wa Taala keep us
steadfast
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:34
			on the rule, ama, beloved brothers and dearest listeners,
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:46
			we are continuing with a few messages of the Quran wherein Allah subhanho wa Taala has drawn the
attention of the meaning.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:01:34
			And Allah subhanho wa Taala has addressed all of us in this Koran. And the messages are very loud
and clear before I commence, I'd like to remind one in all that tonight is one of the odd nights of
the last 10 nights of the month of Ramadan, there is a chance and the possibility that this night
may just be the Night of Decree. And it may just be the night that Allah subhanho wa Taala has
described in the Quran as being better than 1000 months. So it is my duty as well as yours and
everyone else to engage in acts of worship in this night, that are extra with the idea of earning
the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And may Allah subhanho wa Taala grant me the ability to do
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:48
			that. And thereafter, every one of us, it is not impossible to spend a part of the night in extra
ibadat in extra acts of worship into our because we may just win by having
		
00:01:49 --> 00:02:04
			engaged in the in the worship of Allah subhanho wa Taala on a night that he himself has described as
being better than 1000 months, which is approximately 80 years. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant
his acceptance,
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:40
			I had promised that I would commence with sudo to room the sort of named after the Romans and Allah
subhanho wa Taala in the opening verses of the surah makes mention of a certain victory or a loss, a
loss on the part of the Romans and a victory on the part of the Persians. And Allah subhanho wa
Taala says, of all labor to row, definitely the Romans have been overcome. That means the Persians
have won against the Romans, there was a war
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:56
			there was a war that had taken place and Allah subhanho wa Taala is informing Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, as well as the companions that the outcome of this war was that the Romans had
lost and Allah subhanho wa Taala says, while
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:46
			bad devala beams Ione Boone has been born by seanie. In a few years, between three and nine years,
the Romans will then win against the Persians, which means there will be a war once again, and the
Romans will win against the Persians. And on that day, the meaning we'll be happy. What do we learn
from this, we learned the rule of the Sharia, wherein Allah subhanho wa Taala has taught us through
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, what we would commonly call the lesser of the two evils. On
one side we have the Romans who are people of the book, and on the other hand, we had the Persians
whom at the time were fire worshippers, a simple question, who is better in terms of closeness to
		
00:03:46 --> 00:04:28
			Allah subhanho wa Taala the People of the Book, so Allah subhanho wa Taala says the day the Romans
would win again, over the Persians, it would be a day of happiness for the meaning and it would be
the assistance of Allah subhanho wa Taala. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us comprehension, we
need to understand that when it comes to ourselves, yes, we should know that the people of the book
are closer than the others to us. But we need to know our lines. We need to know precisely how much
to deal with them, and precisely what to take from them and what not to take from them. May Allah
subhanho wa Taala make a steadfast sometimes we tend to lose our Eman because we take them as bosom
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:59
			buddies, and we take them as protectors, and we give them preference over our own brethren. May
Allah subhanho wa Taala make us all strong? Yes, as I've mentioned, always the sword is double edged
at times our own Brethren, let us down in a manner that even the People of the Book Do not let us
down. So that two needs to be addressed. We need to ask ourselves, are we guilty of not being
practical Muslims? Are we guilty of being from amongst those who are giving the wrong impression of
Islam and are we guilty of being from amongst
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:15
			Those who have let down our own Brethren, May Allah not do that to us and May Allah subhanho wa
Taala make us that first one of the verses of the surah a very powerful verse which is repeated many
times Allah subhanho wa Taala says, Well, how
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:16
			do you feel
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:22
			about the maca Sabbath at CBU the
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			corruption has been has become prevalent
		
00:05:34 --> 00:06:23
			on land and at sea. Corruption has become prevalent prevalent on land and at sea, because of some of
what some some of what the men have earned, because of our own deeds, we are witnessing the downfall
of ourselves as well as others. And Allah subhanho wa Taala says, and this corruption and this
downfall is in order for them to realize and turn backs. But how many of us actually do realize that
these are messages from Allah subhanho wa Taala saying, turn back, turn back to me before it is too
late. May Allah subhanho wa Taala not make us from amongst those who don't understand the signs when
they come to us in our own lives, every single one of us, wherever we have transgressed Allah
		
00:06:23 --> 00:07:06
			subhanho wa Taala will definitely send science to us clear science to remind us of his presence and
his existence. And if we are going to turn a blind eye, it is us who stand to lose and if we are
going to learn from those lessons, then inshallah we will be from amongst those who can improve and
who can become better people every single day, to the degree that the day we meet Allah subhanho wa
Taala we will be in our peak, or upon our peak, whereby we will be the closest we have ever got to
Allah subhanho wa Taala May He grant us that type of a death and may not grant us a death whilst we
are engaged in sin, and may He not overtake us with punishment and destroy us wholesale as he has
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:32
			those in the past. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala makes mention of a another surah a beautiful surah
which he has named after a person who was from Africa. According to one of the strong narrations.
Luqman al Hakim, Luqman the wise was a very wise man. He was an African according to the narrations,
and he was not in a B. And here Allah subhanho wa Taala opens the verses of the surah. Al if
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:58
			me For your information, and I've mentioned it in the past, every store that has these type of
letters was revealed in Makkah, besides Surah Baqarah every surah that has proof macapa these
separated letters was revealed in Makkah, besides Surah Al Baqarah. So this Torah was revealed in
Makkah, and Allah subhanho wa Taala says, till
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:46
			hockey game, these are the verses of the book, The wise book. Why is the term Hakeem used right at
the beginning of surah. Look, man, he himself was a wise man, but the Quran we have is even more
wise it has more wisdom. So Allah subhanho wa Taala is clarifying it right from the beginning to
say, Look, man was a wise man. But these are verses of a book full of wisdom. May Allah subhanho wa
Taala grant us wisdom, he is definitely the all wise and therefore, his column, His Word is full of
wisdom and has to be full of wisdom. Allah subhanho wa Taala makes mention in the surah of people,
people who by vain talk and are as I'd mentioned in the past, and I've got to say it now because it
		
00:08:46 --> 00:09:32
			is verse number six of swords Look, man, we've heard of it. So many times, the interpretation is not
vain talk, because the English language does not qualify to translate the Arabic there was no term
at that time to refer to music, the word musika of the Arabic language only came about later on. But
the term which was used by the Sahaba of the Allahu anhu to refer to music was laughable Hadees that
refers directly to music. And so many of the Sahaba of the 11 home have interpreted it in that way.
And they have said there are people who spend their money to buy musicians and music instruments and
people who dance and so on. All that is to lead a stray
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:59
			from the path of Allah subhanho wa Taala for them is a severe punishment Allah says and for this
reason, let us not be from amongst those who want to justify that music is allowed and so on and so
forth. They it is prohibited and very, very clearly prohibited. And I guarantee you those who would
like to justify it are guilty of engaging in it. I have never come across a single person who's
argued about it, and they themselves are not involved in it.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:07
			May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant a steadfastness Let's be strong. Listen to the next verse, Allah
subhanho wa Taala says, or either
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			mustek Bianca Allah misma ha,
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:59
			de una de la vida Shinobi. Any, when you remind such people and inform them of the prohibition of
music, they become arrogant and they argue with you and they turn away in pride, Allah says give
them tidings of a severe punishment. May Allah subhanho wa Taala not do that to us. This is one of
the huge nights of the month of Ramadan, let us mend our ways, it's not impossible. And we don't
need to justify ourselves with what that alum said. And the other alum said, when we have a large
band of the Sahaba of the Allahu anhu, who have confirmed for us what is meant by this verse, none
of the Sahaba have ever mentioned that they listened to music, and if it was permissible, and if it
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:16
			was the in thing at the time, I'm sure at least 10 of them or even one of them would have told us
that yes, we did listen to music and it was something that was acceptable, and so did the profit and
so on. Some might argue that yes, do on happy occasions we are allowed to beat the door. Let me
clarify that misunderstanding today.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:12:04
			The Deuce is a one sided drum, and that is to be beaten on happy occasions yes upon nikka with the
idea of announcing that Nika Nika Audrey Bula, who beat the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
says, announced Nika, and in order to achieve that, beat the drum, what that means is a sound, a
sound in order to make it known to people that there is something happy happening in a particular
home, but it is not what we have understood it today to say, Let us now wholesale listen to this
music and use the excuse of the truth and also engage into fourth May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant
us understanding we've become so weak, once this door opens, it will never ever close. Believe me,
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:40
			the Koran has closed it from the very beginning. And those who open it may Allah subhanho wa Taala
make them strong. They don't know what they are doing. Believe me, no matter who they are. On one
hand, we have the Quran. The other hand we have people no matter how knowledgeable they may seem to
be, we cannot open a door that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam never opened. May Allah subhanho
wa Taala make a strong, this is mentioned in Surah flockmen inshallah, tonight, we can go out back
to our motor vehicles and throw out those CDs throw them out for the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa
Taala and substitute them with Koran columella try and understand the Quran, get the various
		
00:12:40 --> 00:13:19
			different readers and I'm sure you know of plenty readers, each reader has a different effect and
impact on the heart. May Allah Subhana Allah never ever make us from amongst those who substitute
his word for music. Rather, may he make us from amongst those who can substitute music for his word.
And may Allah subhanho wa Taala make a strong? Yes. If we've engaged in something in the past, it's
never too late. That is why we have nights like this. And remember the message has been delivered.
Allah is going to ask me and you and everyone did the message not come to you? What are we going to
say? Yes, but that is not good enough. We need to say yes. And we obeyed. Submit now. We heard it
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:58
			and immediately we surrendered. May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us strong and May Allah subhanho wa
Taala not make us from amongst those who justify their weaknesses. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala
makes mention of how of Manali salaatu wa Salaam called his son and advised him that was an African
man who called his son and advised him powerful advice that had to be mentioned in the Quran by
Allah subhanho wa Taala. I have a question for myself and for yourselves. How many of us have called
our children and advise them powerful advice, sat with them and given them words where we say my
son, I'm advising you I might die tomorrow. But listen, this is what I want you to write down and I
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:17
			want you to hold it and hold fast to it and give it to your children and offspring until the day of
the AMA. How many of us are guilty of not even knowing what is good and bad. May Allah subhanho wa
Taala make a strong look man Allahu salatu salam advised his young boy. And he says yeah, bony, to
Shrek been
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:27
			in machine calavo knowing him. Oh my son, the first thing was never associate partners with your
Creator. That is the biggest sin you can commit.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:15:00
			And you should understand that Allah subhanho wa Taala has ordained and he has prescribed that
you'll be good to your parents. Once again. The issue of parents has come up and look man alayhi
salatu wa sallam spoke to his son and advised him about how to be two parents. The idea was not only
that the sun could be good to him, but later on he could deliver the message to others as well. May
Allah make us obedient children and Allah subhanho wa Taala even makes mention of those parents who
are non Muslim and this is repeated. So many
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:44
			times in the Quran where we still need to be good to them for as long as they have not commanded us
to do something that is against the commandment of Allah subhanho wa Taala if they have ordered us
to do something Haram, we will not obey them but for as long as they have not ordered Haram, it
becomes our duty to fulfill what they have asked us to do. May Allah make it easy for us? Then look
man, Allahu salatu wa salam warned his son and said, Do you know that even if the weight of a
mustard sees a seed, or the size of a mustard seed of good or bad is done Allah subhanho wa Taala
knows where it is. And even if there is a creature of that size, Allah subhanho wa Taala knows where
		
00:15:44 --> 00:16:26
			it is, even if it is hidden under a rock and the mufa Syrian have actually gone further to explain
that Allah subhanho wa Taala does not only know what is under the rock, but what is within the rock
also, may Allah subhanahu Allah grant us understanding and May Allah grant us the ability. May Allah
subhanho wa Taala grant us the ability to understand his greatness. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala
makes mention of Salah Luqman Allahu salatu wa sallam told his son regarding salah and Salah at that
time was a different Salah, but to us, even the Salah A times you tell children to establish their
salah and they look at you and they say what do I gain from it? That is the weakness of Eman. How
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:58
			can we say how what do I gain from it? That is Salah, a Salah to Mr. Dean from an atomic comma Dean
woman hazama half Academic Dean that Salah is the one of the strong pillars of Dean whoever has
established it has established the pillar of Dean and whoever has destroyed it has destroyed the
pillar which holds which oppose his or her Dean, may Allah make a strong the amount of contentment
one should get from Salah should actually help solve that person's problems does Allah subhanho wa
Taala not say
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
			in na sala
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:54
			definitely Salah prohibits a person or Salah prohibits immorality and evil if we are to fulfill our
Salah in the correct manner, we will abstain from immorality and from evil. This directly means that
anyone who's engaged in immorality and evil, there is something wrong with their Salah. Their Salah
is not in order, possibly the concentration, possibly the sincerity, and so on. May Allah make a
steadfast with our Salah, then Luqman Allahu salaatu wa Salaam asked his son to go out and enjoin
good and forbid bad. One is for ourselves, to find to find ourselves within the limits of goodness,
and to find ourselves far from what is bad. And the other is once that happens, we need to also call
		
00:17:54 --> 00:18:23
			others towards goodness, they have explained that by calling others towards goodness, one becomes
conscious of his own deeds or her own deeds, and that should help everyone become better. May Allah
make us all steadfast. Then he says was beer Allah saw back oh my son, whatever comes to you,
whatever comes in your direction, their patience, and understand that it is from Allah subhanho wa
Taala. The issue of
		
00:18:24 --> 00:19:06
			Islam is the only religion that makes it a duty. And one of the pillars of Eman for all the
believers to say, I believe that good and bad is from Allah. And I'm not going to question it. I
will surrender to it. Still, when our children die in a huge car crash, we begin to question the
decree of Allah. That is a weakness of Eman we need to understand that was the best thing that could
ever have happened. There was no better death for our children. May Allah make us strong. It is not
easy, but we need to strengthen our Eman. It is the only religion that assists people and protects
them from depression just by believing in taqdeer. So many people who suffer depression, that
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:49
			suffering is connected to a weakness in the belief in taqdeer. And in faiths, the fact that good and
bad is from Allah, we will not question it. We will be happy with it. We will say Alhamdulillah
Allah Houlihan, we send colossal Hannah who was Allah and praise Him upon every condition besides
the condition of the people of jahannam May Allah subhanho wa Taala save us from that. So look, man,
Allah salat wa salam advised his own son in this regard. May Allah grant us all a lesson from that.
Then Allah subhanho wa Taala makes mention of how he told his son. Do not turn your cheek away from
people in arrogance. Do not be boastful. Do not walk on earth in with pride and do not walk on earth
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:59
			in a manner that others have the perception that you are now higher than them or you are portraying
yourself to be higher than them.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:44
			May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us all humbleness, and then he says, when you speak, you should
know how to speak. Don't raise your voice too loudly, don't use bad words and so on. These are
jewels and gems and Allah subhanho wa Taala has named the entire surah after this man, and surely,
this advice is so relevant to every single one of us that we need to take heed, we do inshallah will
earn the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala. If we lower our gazes, and if we learn how to speak to
each other, learn to be an asset within our homes, with our own family members, to them, and to the
rest of the community. May Allah make us such, the next surah Allah subhanho wa Taala has named it
		
00:20:44 --> 00:21:04
			after the frustration that is mentioned in it, so to such depth, and I'm sure many of us would be
reading it on a Friday and on other days, and many of us would have heard it in fudger Salah on a
Friday in some of the massages because it is a sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to
occasionally read that on a Friday in Salah salatu salam.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:46
			Why is it named prostration? And why do we have to repeat it so many times? Possibly if we
understand the surah, we would immediately get the gist. Allah makes mentioned and I mentioned him
very briefly of the Missouri mean the criminals, those who do not prostrate those who when they are
reminded about Allah and His laws and his commands, they are not interested. They would they
couldn't be bothered. And no matter how much they are told, they turn a blind or Blind Eye deaf ear.
Then Allah says, As for those who truly believe and I'm not going to read this verse, because if I
read it, it becomes incumbent on us to all four prospects. Allah says, As for those who truly
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:46
			believe
		
00:21:48 --> 00:22:15
			in our signs and verses, whenever they are reminded of our verses in science, they surrender to the
degree that they fall prostrate. And that is why immediately upon hearing that verse, we fall into
Jude for the sake of Allah Subhana, Allah to Allah. And Allah describes the true believers as those
who separate themselves from their bedding at night, and they engage in such that and in Salah for
the sake of Allah Subhana Allah Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala really
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:52
			describes them as the true believers, meaning those who believe in Allah, those who believe in the
last day, those who believe in the science of Allah subhanho wa Taala. May we be from amongst them?
I have a question for myself. How many times have I got up at nights? Not for solitude? But at the
time of the Hadoop even once twice in the month? May Allah make it easy for myself and for everyone
here? How many times have we got up for the sake of Allah? Not only when we've got a problem, but
just on any occasion? Not only when we feeling
		
00:22:53 --> 00:23:27
			when we feeling ill and we cannot sleep? Then people say okay, I am awake, let me read. Yes, I'll
have to be life will be accepted. But let's try it just an ordinary day. Like tonight in sha Allah,
may Allah grant us acceptance, it is not difficult. If we get up and separate ourselves from our
beddings possibly Allah might include us as being from amongst those who are mentioned in these
verses of surah to such them. So Allah makes mentioned subhanho wa Taala of the powerful people who
separate themselves from their beddings we all know how beautiful sleep is, especially when you're
very tired.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:24:05
			Especially when you are extremely tired, and the cozy bed is actually feeling so good. And then
we've got to get up for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala On a winter's night, Allah He the
contentment we will achieve if we are doing it sincerely for Allah is something that we cannot
describe. And most probably it will be very sincere because who would we want to be showing at that
time of the night, and this is why Allah subhanho wa Taala describes it in the in this particular
surah May Allah make us very, very strong. Then we have the next Surah Surah to Lhasa which we
completed today.
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:18
			And Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks of the allies, the Confederations and the group of armies, those
who have come together and alliance against Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:59
			on the occasion of the Battle of the trench, and Allah subhanho wa Taala makes mention of them. And
Allah also speaks about that war that took place that battle, the Battle of the trench, where a
large number of people have kafar had come to attack the Muslim mean, right up to Al Madina,
munawwara and salmonicida zero the Allahu anhu was instrumental in presenting his opinion regarding
digging a trench around the Medina to munawwara and Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam accepted
his view and they dug a trench around a lot of Medina to munawwara and thereafter when the huge
armies came the hypocrites from within Medina
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:12
			had said today these Muslim means stand no chance and Allah subhanho wa Taala is reminding the
believers. Yeah Lavina mannose Caronia, Mata LA
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:14
			is
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:16
			Juno.
		
00:25:23 --> 00:26:05
			Oh you who believe remember the favor, my favor upon you the day the armies came to you and I sent
the wind against them and armies that you could not see. Allah sent the angels and Allah says the
wind and the weather, the weather is an army or the weather is actually under the command of Allah
subhanho wa Taala part of the army of Allah subhanho wa Taala and Allah uses the weather to this day
to attack those whom he wishes to attack for whatever reason, may Allah subhanahu wa Allah protect
us from adverse weather. And may Allah subhanho wa Taala never punish us in the manner that he had
punished those before us. And Allah makes mentioned subhanho wa Taala of how he protected the
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:16
			meaning when they thought that or some of them had thought that today is a very difficult day. In
fact, the hypocrites had actually said today the meaning stand no chance.
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:48
			And Allah makes mention of how some people were within. Some people were within the meaning the
circle of the meaning but because of their hypocrisy, their hearts were on the other side. And Allah
says, mentioning this, these double standards Allah says right at the beginning of the surah In
fact, I've got to commence with a verse which is so powerful. Allah twice asks the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself to be conscious of Allah. Did he need that? Did he need that
reminder? Allah says
		
00:26:53 --> 00:27:26
			Allah, O Messenger owner, Beast, Allahu alayhi wa sallam. Tequila, be conscious of Allah subhanho wa
Taala some translated as fear Allah subhanho wa Taala did he need that command? No, he didn't. But
the message is for all of us. That if that was the instruction to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wasallam how many of us are found without even being conscious of Allah subhanho wa Taala engaging
in sin on a daily basis Allah says thereafter, Masha Allah Allahu Nero Julie miracle de Jovi
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30
			Ito
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:34
			t con, una de la
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:55
			Colombe fo, mala Mia poo, como se this, maybe Allah has not created a person or a man with two
hearts in his chest. No man has two hearts, which means you are either on this side or that side.
		
00:27:56 --> 00:28:12
			And this is exposing the hypocrisy. And the reminder for all of us to say we need to be steadfast,
we need to stand firm for justice. No one can be on the right side and the wrong side at the same
time. And Allah subhanho wa Taala continues to explain how
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:31
			double standards destroys people in yet something else that is prohibited where people say to their
wives, may Allah protect us all, but those who say to their wives that this wife is like my mother,
and to me like my mother, and then they abstain from
		
00:28:33 --> 00:29:09
			sexual * with that particular wife of theirs. Allah subhanho wa Taala says that woman is
not your mother, how can she be your wife and your mother at the same time? Once again, look at the
double standards or look at the statement which is contradicting contradictory. On one side, it is
the wife and on the other hand, the man is saying that this particular woman is like my mother. And
for that reason, there is a severe punishment. For those who even utter that statement. May Allah
subhanho wa Taala save us from such statements. We cannot contradict Allah subhanho wa Taala
decision and command and we cannot play the fool with such issues. There is another issue in the
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:24
			next verse that I've already read before you were Allah subhanho wa Taala says those children whom
you've adopted, Islam has specific rules regarding adoption, they are not your children, and you
must make it clear to them and you cannot give them your name.
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:59
			Those children that belong to their parents should hold their parents names. This is what Allah says
here. How can that child belong to someone else and you are calling them with your name? Allah says
that also is a contradiction. Why is it so serious in Islam? Let me explain to you because Allah is
the one who created myself and yourself. And Allah subhanho wa Taala decided supremely alone, who is
going to be my father and yours. And then we come and we say, No, no, you are wrong. I'm going to
call him my son. What an insult. Is it
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:41
			How great and in South is this to the Creator Himself, the one who made me, he decided who my father
is going to be and I am saying no ways I choose somebody else's surname. And remember here we are
speaking of surnames in our case, and sometimes people actually go to say so and so son of so and so
and if they are lying, it becomes a major, major, major sin. They will not even be looked at on the
day of the AMA, Allah subhanho wa Taala says, they will be forgotten on that day because they forgot
us. May Allah not not forget us on the day of the AMA, if we'd like mercy, let us rectify where
we've gone wrong. Let us find out in insha, Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala will open the doors, so
		
00:30:41 --> 00:31:20
			much so that in marriage, the true Islamic ruling is that as far as possible, the woman has the
right to hold her maiden name, that is the name she will be called with on the day of the AMA. And
yes, sometimes for immigration purposes, sometimes for purposes of the law, we happen to be living
in a country that is a non Muslim country, we may then instead of saying so and so Daughter of so
and so, what we silently do not say is so and so wife of so and so. So if that is the case, and
Hamdulillah, so long as our conscience is clear, but if we are doing it out of deception, then Allah
subhanho wa Taala as punishment is very, very close, may not punish us. And Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:21
			makes mention of
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:32
			many other rules in Surah Al Azhar, why does he make mention of hijab? Why does he make mention of
Nika, and bollocks and so on. And so
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:47
			some of them have Assyrian, who have spoken of the comparison or who have spoken of the relation of
the topic or the heading of the surah with the contents of the surah. They have said that, and it's
something very important to listen to.
		
00:31:48 --> 00:32:31
			If we are not going to dress according to Islam, and the verses are very clear, the one verse on
hijab, the verse on the outer cloak, and the veil of the woman is very loud and clear in these are
in this surah and the mufa syrena said, Those who do not want to dress in the manner that Allah has
prescribed, they are falling in the category of those armies who fought Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wasallam Why would someone not wear a cloak and discuss why? Most probably, today, someone might
tell you, well, I'm weak. When is the weak? May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us all steadfast and
strong, we all have weaknesses, but the reality is, and I'm inviting every single female to dawn
		
00:32:31 --> 00:33:00
			with a scar from tonight solely for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala and to cover with a clock,
and if we've already done that, then to get to the next step solely to please Allah subhanho wa
Taala. Because here, there is a warning, that who else are we pleasing? Are we pleasing the West? If
we are, who is the West? Are they not from amongst those who had allied against Muhammad? sallallahu
alayhi wasallam Those were the Those were the groups. So we have suddenly
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:38
			on one hand, we are saying we are meaning and on the other hand, we are saying but this command, I
have a question about it. So Allah is saying, look, in the same way, you cannot have two hearts in
one person, don't do that. Don't fool yourself, if you are a Muslim, be a full Muslim inshallah and
surrender and you will find happiness. And if you feel that no, I am claiming to be a Muslim. And on
the other hand, you have a query with some of the Islamic rulings or you are dissatisfied with a
less clear cut commands, then there is a possibility and a chance that a person of that nature might
have entered the ranks of hypocrisy, just like those who are described in the same surah and just
		
00:33:38 --> 00:34:23
			like those who took sides with or who sided with the allies on the day of May Allah subhanho wa
Taala says goddess, so that is the relation of these verses of hijab, the verses of Nika the verses
of Ballarat and so on, which happened to appear in this particular surah. Allah subhanho wa Taala
has warned us and he has not mentioned it in Surah Al Azhar by error, or it is not a coincidence
that these verses are in Surah Al Azhar, they are in Surah to warn us to say Where does your
allegiances lie? You better come up with a clear cut answer and I better come up with a clear cut
answer. May Allah make us strong? May Allah subhanho wa Taala help us rectify our weaknesses? And
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:59
			may Allah subhanho wa Taala make us from amongst those who do not look down upon others but try and
help them. Remember today I have not said anything to disrespect anyone, but it's a very very
positive point of encouragement to myself and yourselves to come closer to Allah sees the
opportunities these opportunities will not repeat themselves. And who knows this might be the last
day of Ramadan I am seeing and you are seeing May Allah subhanho wa Taala be happy with us the day
he takes us away. May we be from amongst those who are the champions of Deen inshallah we shall
continue tomorrow also Allahu wa Sallim wa barik ala nabina Muhammad subhana wa Hamdi subhanak along
