All praise is due to Allah subhanho wa Taala blessings and salutations be upon Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and all his companions May Allah subhanahu wa taala bless us all

00:01:19--> 00:02:04

on a dilemma, beloved brothers and sisters and dearest listeners. Allah subhanho wa Taala has sent this Quran as a point of mercy for all of us. And Allah subhanho wa Taala has revealed in it verses that should move us versus that should cause the trembling of the heart versus that should cause the spiritual upliftment of the soul. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us the understanding and the ability to see the lessons that are clear and manifest in the Quran. In surah number which is the surah that we commenced with in tonight's recitation. Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about the story of the ant at the time of Suleiman alayhi salatu was Salam had

00:02:15--> 00:02:22

Oh Dooku Misaki nachum la kleemann Khun Suleiman

00:02:28--> 00:02:55

when Suleiman Ali Salam got with his army to a certain Valley, the Valley of the ends, Allah subhanho wa Taala, says Suleiman Alayhi Salam heard the ends speak, one end spoke to the rest and told them to go into their houses because if they don't do that, they might just be trampled by the army of Suleiman. alayhi salatu was Salam. So Allah says, Fatima, Sana Ba, E.

00:02:57--> 00:03:37

coli, ha, Suleiman la Salam who could understand the language of the other creatures of Allah subhanho wa Taala. He smiled because he heard the speech, he paused and stopped his whole army to wait for those ends. And he says, oh, Allah grant me the ability, grant me the acceptance, to be able to be from amongst those who are thankful and grateful for what you have given me. Now Lawmakers also from amongst those who are thankful and grateful for what Allah has provided us. And Allah subhanho wa Taala has mentioned that story here in in the whole surah, which is named after the end. The lesson is for us as a Muslim oma.

00:03:38--> 00:04:02

If that one ENT had noticed what was going on and did not inform the others, what was going to happen, the others might have suffered in one way or another either been trampled or whatever would have happened. But because the ends also have a genuine feeling for the rest of their own Ma, we need to have a genuine feeling for the rest of the members of this oma and that will solve our crisis.

00:04:04--> 00:04:19

In the same way that one ENT is nothing in terms of power compared to 1 million ends who can bring down a solid building. One member of the oma does not have as much power as 1 billion members of the oma that is a lesson of unity from the surah.

00:04:20--> 00:04:58

So Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us in the same surah he tells us look, there is one end, that end means nothing You know, when you see an end, you can actually spray a little bit have begun or do more killam as we've spoken about it in the past, and you can get rid of that. But when there are 1 billion ends, then you need to walk away. You need to now get the exterminators, those who are experts and you need to call in the fumigatus and vacate your home to make sure that you get rid of them because their power is far greater than just a few mega events. Allah subhanho wa Taala here speaks of Suleiman Ali salam, and he continues to make mention of some of the other gifts that he

00:04:58--> 00:04:59

granted. Sulaiman Allah

00:05:00--> 00:05:41

salatu wa salam O Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about how he looked for the hoopoe bird in his army. And remember Suleiman Allah is Salatu was Salam as we will see in verses to come in others who are that we will be reading inshallah, he had made a dua to Allah and he had the power and the ability to communicate with most of the creatures of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And his army was a massive army in it was the wind. He had the command of the wind, the birds and all the other creatures, the jinn as well. So one day the hoopoe bird was missing and Sulaiman Allah Salam was looking at all the all his army, he noticed the bird is missing. He said, Where is this rupo bird?

00:05:41--> 00:05:46

What Africa sarcolemma Leanna.

00:05:47--> 00:06:06

He looked at the birds in his army and he says what's wrong? I don't see the hoopoe bird. So after some time, the hoopoe bird came and gave him news, you know, there is a lady they they worship the sun, and she is the leader of those people, the Queen of Sheba, It is reported that here they are speaking of the Queen of Sheba or bill keys, according to some narration, they've even named her.

00:06:07--> 00:06:08

So

00:06:09--> 00:06:16

Suleiman Alayhi Salam was amazed and he says, Listen, I will see Sunoco, South Dakota.

00:06:17--> 00:06:21

Terminal coffee bean is Biggie Tabby,

00:06:23--> 00:06:24

la him.

00:06:31--> 00:07:17

tone, I will see if you are telling the truth. You are speaking about this lady and her nation who are worshipping the sun. Let's see, take this letter of mine go and give it to them and then turn back and stay at a distance and watch what they do. Let's see what happens. What was in the lesson in the letter in Suleiman our Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem, Allah Allahu Allahu Allah toony muslimeen straight to the point. This letter is from Suleiman starting in the name of Allah subhanho wa Taala, most forgiving, Most Merciful Sulaiman is asking her and her subjects to come as submitters and not to be from amongst those who are haughty. One thing straight to the point. So this lady was very

00:07:17--> 00:07:53

intelligent. She saw this letter, she read it out to her subjects, and remember some of the scholars speak about why the word means Suleiman was written before the term Bismillah Ar Rahman AR Rahim. Normally, you start at the top you write Bismillah Ar Rahman AR Rahim, then you can write from so and so. But in his case, he was fearing that if they had to curse someone, they would curse the first name at the top to say, look, this is from who let's see, how can they do this? If they saw our last name, less the curse Allah he decided to write his own name first. To say this is from Sulayman. Then he says Bismillah Ar Rahman AR Rahim, when we write our letters, we are not Suleiman.

00:07:53--> 00:08:24

So let's start with Bismillah Ar Rahman Rahim inshallah, and we don't have that fear inshallah. So, here Suleiman, Allah Salatu was Salam. What had happened is this lady read the letter she asked her subjects Do you know what she said? She was very intelligent. She said, Let's send them a gift. See what they do. So she sent a very, very big gift to Suleiman Sulaiman Allahu salatu wa sallam, who obviously had much more than what Allah had bestowed anybody else in one door and stood outside he says, Rob be heavily monocle

00:08:26--> 00:08:56

Bandy, Allah grant me kingdom, which no one after me will get grumpy the power and authority which no one after me will get and definitely he had control over most of the creatures of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Amazing. So this lady, she made a comment which is very important. She told her subjects and her leaders who told her that whatever you decide, we already you want to conquer those people we will fight in the army. You want to go as submit as submitting people we will also submit with you so she said, in Alamo, looky

00:09:00--> 00:09:01

loo

00:09:03--> 00:09:40

waka De Luca fine. Oh, you know, my worry is when the Kings attack nations, when other countries and other leaders attack nations, they turn the nation upside down those who are leaders become the worst and those who are the worst they are made the leaders I'm sure we can see that across the globe today. Also, any nation that is attacked the west or from amongst them is made the leaders and those who are leaders are made to be the worst from amongst them. So they are literally turned upside down. That woman understood it. So many years ago today, the most intellectual so called people of the globe don't even understand something that a lady understood a long time ago. May

00:09:40--> 00:09:52

Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us understanding so she said no, let us send this gift to a man and a Salaam sent a response. In fact, he spoke to his people now. He says, Yeah, I knew Halima

00:09:53--> 00:10:00

teeny Biasi, haka Bella, Tony muslimeen. Oh my army, all my people who from amongst you

00:10:00--> 00:10:05

Can Bring her whole throne and everything from her surroundings lifted up literally and bring it to me here now.

00:10:07--> 00:10:23

So obviously he had the power over the gym, if free to mean Elgin, one of the solid gym, the big one, he says, and it kabini cabela Tacoma mean, McCormick, I will bring what you've asked for in front of you now before you get up from your seat.

00:10:25--> 00:10:30

Now we think that that is powerful. There was someone else who had more knowledge than Carla

00:10:32--> 00:10:35

kitabi. And it can be cabela

00:10:36--> 00:10:58

de la Katara folk, the one who had knowledge from the book, and this shows us that knowledge is solid. He said, No, I will bring that to you before you blink your eye and as he blinked the eye, it was in front of him. What was in front of him? The whole throne with everyone around her and absolutely everything was there. And Suleiman Allah salatu wa salam, thank Allah subhanho wa Taala.

00:10:59--> 00:11:05

And she saw that this I can never ever compete with this force, no ways.

00:11:06--> 00:11:23

And then Suleiman Allahu salatu wa sallam told his people that change a little bit of a throne this way, that way, let's see if she understands this is her throne. And we've what we've done, let's see if she can digest what has happened here. It would be difficult for us to digest it. So she was asked

00:11:24--> 00:11:25

Phelim

00:11:26--> 00:11:28

Tila haka artichoke,

00:11:31--> 00:12:14

she was asked, Is this your throne? Is this all yours? She said, when it seems like it is because she was a little bit baffled. How did this happen here? So she says, Well, it seems like it is my throne. So Allah subhanho wa Taala thereafter makes mention of how she accepted Islam under the authority of Sulaiman. alayhi salatu was Salam. O Allah rabine Valentin FC when she saw the power, she said, Oh, I live oppressed myself worshipping the sun for nothing. Here is the creator of the Sun who's given power to Sulaiman. Allah is Allah will Islam to my eyes will a man in Lahaina be live belied me. I have submitted your law together with Sulaiman la salatu salam, for the sake of

00:12:14--> 00:12:33

Allah subhanho wa Taala. Thereafter, after that story, which shows us the power of Allah and the fact that he has given certain powers to part of his creatures, Allah subhanho wa Taala makes mentioned yet have other examples of unity. At the beginning of the 20th chapter of the Quran first page, I'm sure we heard some verses that sounded quite similar, where the question is asked

00:12:37--> 00:12:50

Is there anyone worthy of worship besides Allah? Is there any diversity now that you've seen the power of Allah anyone will be of worship besides Allah? No, there isn't. So Allah there makes mention of had

00:12:51--> 00:13:03

a casa de banda the gardens which are so beautiful. Now the question I have this is similar to number of the messages that of unity. That to show us that one means nothing but together we have much more power.

00:13:04--> 00:13:31

What is a garden made of? Lots of flowers, lots of roses. One Rose is not a garden, it's a single rose. But when you have 1000 roses, Mashallah different colors all together in the same garden, same purpose, growing at the same time, now we can say Alhamdulillah we've achieved the unity of all these roses, and together they created what a beautiful scene that we all enjoy. Allahu Akbar. message of unity. Let's take a look at another message of unity in Surah number, Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks of

00:13:32--> 00:13:59

Allah Allah Allah. Allah says that he has made mountains what is a mountain made of small particles of dust and send one particle of dust? I can blow it. But when there are billions of particles of dust that mountain I need to worry about it it can drop and destroy my whole nation. Its effect that shows us as the Muslim woman one of us we don't have as much power as 1 billion due May Allah Unitas let's take a look at another example of unity in the surah

00:14:01--> 00:14:01

Allah

00:14:03--> 00:14:24

Allah speaks of how he has created the oceans. so powerful that in the middle, he has put a path and he has made the two separate inshallah we'll speak of that some other day. But the point of unity is the water that makes the oceans h2o. One little particle means nothing. It can evaporate with a little bit of heat, not even sunlight.

00:14:26--> 00:14:38

But when you have 1 billion particles of water, we need to fear the tsunami. We need to fear the power of those waves that can take us and drown us, Allahu Akbar. The same applies in the Muslim Ummah, one of us again the message is

00:14:39--> 00:14:59

one of us does not have as much power as so many. So May Allah subhanho wa Taala unite us all. Allah subhanho wa Taala in that sort of makes mention of so many such examples where if you break it down just like the end, one means nothing many mean a lot. Here also there are so many things Allah speaks about in the surah where one means nothing. So many mean a lot.

00:15:00--> 00:15:12

The message is for all of us that Allah subhanho wa Taala. Grant us that understanding, then Allah speaks at the end of that Surah Surah number of the day of piano to show us how insignificant we are. Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about that piano

00:15:16--> 00:15:18

ffs, IANA fish,

00:15:22--> 00:15:24

Russia

00:15:27--> 00:15:48

on that day that the trumpet is blown, everything in the skies and the earth shall be absolutely shaken up besides that, which Allah wills. Now the question is, who will be saved from that shaking up from that tremor from that huge sound? From that huge shaking? Allah says

00:15:50--> 00:15:52

been, hasn't it follow?

00:15:54--> 00:15:55

Me further.

00:15:57--> 00:16:38

Even me know, you want to know who will be safeguarded from the tremor, those who come with good deeds, we will not only safeguard them from the tremor and the shock, but we will also grant them better than they have come with. Now why does Allah say manga Abolhassan whoever comes with a good deed? Why does he not say man, amla has an omen for Allah Hassan Why doesn't he say whoever does a good deed, whoever has undertaken a good deed? Because it is very easy to do a good deed we've all stood up here in Salah May Allah accept it from us, that was the easiest part of it to go for Haji simple, but to live as a Haji thereafter is very difficult. So to live as a person who has stood up

00:16:38--> 00:16:44

in the month of Ramadan and done so many good deeds that is simple. What is more difficult is to look after that deed

00:16:45--> 00:17:21

in such a manner that we don't backbite we don't oppress anyone because when we oppress someone the Hadith says at a nominal Mosley's, do you know who is the bankrupt person, he is the one who comes with a lot of good deeds, but he has come back bitten, this one's landed that one cheated that one oppress this one. So all his good deeds are taken and made payments compensation to this person, that person, this person, that person until all his good deeds are depleted, and then there is no there are no good deeds remaining. So he takes the bad deeds of other people and he stands he used to make Salah in the first stuff, but now he's standing on the day of tiama he has no good deeds and

00:17:21--> 00:17:34

in fact, he has the bad deeds of everyone else. So what's the point of that? So Allah says, When you come with a good deed, we will multiply it 10 times because it was 10 times more difficult to protect the deed up to the day you die than to just do the deed.

00:17:35--> 00:17:59

When you do the deed Yeah, it's easy, but now look after it. When you go tonight, what's your mouth when you open your mouth before you leave the machine if you beg bitten someone that Salah is already given to someone else before we walked out? That is why we start swearing as soon as we walk out of the doors of the masjid. May Allah protect us this should not be the case. Rather we must be from amongst those when you've done a good deed your spiritual level must go up. Don't be interested in other's lives worry about protecting that deed. That's why Allah says

00:18:01--> 00:18:40

I've been Hashanah sanity, whoever comes on the day of the AMA with that good deed in tact. Lawmakers from amongst those that is the secret behind the use of these words. So Allah speaks of how he will save those who have come with goodies May Allah make us from amongst them. The next Shura is Surah to us where Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about the stories of who of musala is salatu wa sallam, the most in depth story of Musa alayhis salam with the greatest detail is in this Surah Surah cosas where Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about Iran and Harmon and falloon and how they planned and plotted and planned and plotted and allow makes mention of how masala is Salatu was

00:18:40--> 00:18:52

salam, his mother was told that don't worry, we will return this child to you if you fearing put him into that basket and put him in the water in the Nile. And we will return him to you someday and we will make him a prophet.

00:18:53--> 00:18:55

Listen to what Allah subhanho wa Taala says

00:18:56--> 00:19:02

to the mother of Musa alayhis salam he inspired her with the following words in

00:19:05--> 00:19:06

do

00:19:07--> 00:19:08

you mean?

00:19:11--> 00:19:18

We will definitely return him to you and we will make him from amongst the messengers. Allahu Akbar. Allah says later on for

00:19:19--> 00:19:20

me.

00:19:23--> 00:19:51

Later on we returned Musa alayhis salam after he was separated by the will of Allah from his mother, we returned him to his mother. This is good news for those who have been separated from their children for one reason or another. Don't despair, Allah will return those children to you by his power. And Allah says he will cool your eyes with that returning May Allah subhanho wa Taala never separate us with our children. For whatever reason, it may be May Allah subhanho wa Taala unite us with them in the dunya and in the afra Amin.

00:19:52--> 00:19:54

Then Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about

00:19:56--> 00:19:59

how musala Salatu was Salam when he was young

00:20:00--> 00:20:40

Powerful. He was brought up in a house in such a way that had he been brought up in his own mother's house, he would not have had that upbringing. So Allah wanted to give him the best upbringing. So he was brought up in Pharaoh's house. Imagine he had all the luxuries you can think of. But in his own mother's house, he wouldn't have had those luxuries. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says, We brought him up there, he was powerful. He was big, huge and very, very strong. One day there was a dispute amongst two men. And most Allahu salatu wa sallam was called. So he looked at the one who was wrong. And through his anger he saved in one blow. This was before his number he saved in one blow that

00:20:40--> 00:21:15

blow finished up this man literally killed him. May Allah protect us all. Imagine how powerful that was. Now, please, let's not go and practice and say I'm also as powerful. No, this is musala Salatu was Salam. And we know that this is mentioned here by Allah subhanho wa Taala to show us that these ambia will also they will not just thin weak men, they were powerful solid men. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam according to one of the narrations had the power of 30 men. Allahu Akbar he could ride a horse without the saddle nothing, just hold the main with one hand and carry on who can do that Allahu Akbar not even the best of those who ride horses today from the on the whole

00:21:15--> 00:21:30

globe can attempt to come close to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam in horse riding. So Panama as soon as Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So powerful men, Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about how after that incident, Freetown began to look for this man.

00:21:31--> 00:22:07

And he ended up in Midian. When he ended up in Medina, he helped some strange women, women who are not related to him, but he helped them for the sake of Allah. He helped them they were there with a flock of sheep trying to give water to the sheep and he helped them and they returned home early that day. So their father was Dr. Ali Salam asked them that you know, how come you early so they mentioned the story, Allah, Masha. Allah help us in fact, that is slightly after when Mousavi Salam was called. When they mentioned the story to their father, their father told them go and call the man who is the man. He's a new man here and let us see what he has. So when Musa alayhis salam came,

00:22:07--> 00:22:49

he mentioned the story. What story the whole story of how he grew up and what happened and so on and so forth. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says how one of the daughters said, Yeah, but is there a God who are our father, take him as a worker, give him employment. Take him as a laborer he can do this job for us on a daily basis. We will pay him for that. In a fireman is gonna tell me the father daughter is clarifying her statement. Oh my father. The reason I say that is because the best of employees is the one who is honest and hardworking, are hardworking and honest, caring, hardworking. I mean, one was honest. Up to today when we work for someone even for ourselves. If you have the two

00:22:49--> 00:23:27

qualities honesty and hard working, you don't need a third and when someone works for you, you look for two qualities honesty and hard working you don't need a third if a person is honest, but not hard working. We don't need them our business will flop and if a person is very hard working but he pinches day and night we don't need him our business will flop May Allah grant us the understanding that lady had the understanding a long long time ago. We up to today we haven't yet come up with that Allah granted to us, Allah make us firstly strong and honest and hardworking inshallah. So after that this man made the statement which we all have a lot to learn from. He says, in the UI do

00:23:27--> 00:23:28

an okie haka.

00:23:31--> 00:24:14

Allah, Juanita manaea Hey, JJ, I want you to work for me for eight years. And I want I am proposing one of my daughters in marriage to you. Allahu Akbar. What do we learn from this? Do you know that sometimes culture we are locked in the shackles of culture, where some cultures believe that women must sit at home and wait for proposals? That's not an Islamic belief? absolutely absurd. We will die in that culture. We will punish our daughters and we will be responsible on the day of piano no proposals in Islam are both ways even Khadija been to Hawaii literally Allah on her she proposed to marry Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the proposal came from the female not from the male,

00:24:15--> 00:24:49

because the females are supposed to be in the houses, who knows them. But when the males come to the massage, then they notice the good lad Mashallah good youngster, or they meet someone in the public or one of the relatives and so on. They know that back at home, I have a daughter, listen young man who is your father, I have a daughter I'd like to inshallah, get you married to her. speak about it. If you don't speak about it. You don't get any way. No way. So we should not be tied in the shackles of culture. We need to come out of that. And understand Allah has mentioned this in the surah not for nothing for us to learn a lesson. Even the prophets gave away their daughters. The prophets gave

00:24:49--> 00:24:59

away their daughters and they went out to propose and to say, Listen, I have a daughter for you. I'd like I am proposing that she marry you. Allahu Akbar. Allah make it easy for us so much.

00:25:00--> 00:25:38

Salli salatu wa sallam thereafter got married and he went with his wife after the the fixed period of working and so on. And as he went, he was lost. He was lost on the path on the road, he was lost, it was dark, he didn't know the road. So he saw from a distance alight and this is mentioned in many places in the Quran, but we want to translate this one he saw a light when he saw the light he told his wife You know what, you wait here there is a light there, let me go there I will find guidance they listen very carefully to the words I will find guidance there or I will find some form of warmth from there and I will bring it to you and I will inshallah benefit you with it as well. So he

00:25:38--> 00:26:21

went and he found as he got there, when he got closer and closer, he said this light is a different light, but he had to get very close to realize that and suddenly yeah Manasa in me and Allah hora bola amin Omarosa, I am Allah, I am Europe I am communicating with you, Allahu Akbar. What do we learn from that? We are we those who have family members, we are from amongst those who come to the masjid aren't all of us lost, we are stray spiritually somehow we need more guidance, all of us. So we need to make an effort to look for likes, wherever it is coming from, we need to go in that direction, tell our family members Hang on, I will benefit you from what I achieved. And it is only

00:26:21--> 00:26:27

when you get closer to the massage. When you get closer to that Allah that you will notice that this light is of a different nature.

00:26:29--> 00:26:37

That was the example of Musa alayhis salam. He left his family members, he went for the light. How many of us can actually go for the light for the hedaya for the lectures

00:26:39--> 00:27:13

for the various lessons that we have for the Salah in the masjid. And how many of us when we return home, we actually have the time to sit with our family members and tell them you know, this is what happened today. How many of us have done that we are guilty of a lie. We are guilty. We come home we want to sleep no don't disturb please, I don't want you to talk to me today. I'm tired. That's the attitude. And that's supposed to be your wife. What type of an attitude is that? Look at masala salam, the prophets never used to do that. sallallahu alayhi wa sallam even Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam never ever told his wives anything of that nature. And here we are. Prophet

00:27:13--> 00:27:14

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says

00:27:16--> 00:27:52

the best from amongst you Is he or she who is best to his or her spouse. And yet we are the worst to our spouse best to everyone else. When there's a woman we're not supposed to be talking to Mashallah we smile at her and we want to speak in such a way as though we want to impress her and you come home and suddenly your face changes. Your face changes as though there is a beast that is walked into the house May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us the ability to be the other way around. Because the true good person is the one who can be good with those closest to him or her. They will tell you this man is very good, Allahu Akbar. But nowadays 99 times out of 100 in fact, let me bring that a

00:27:52--> 00:28:28

little bit down. 90 times out of 100 inshallah 90 times out of 100 we have women who will tell you know you don't know this man. You don't know him. What does that mean? That means there is a different color to the men may Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us And believe me, not not that we want to say anything against the women folk, but we need to equate the statement. Sometimes it is happening on the other side as well. Now Allah subhanho wa Taala grant our women folk also the ability to smile at their husbands inshallah, and the ability to be assets in their own homes, rather than being an asset when they go out and not being an asset when they are in the homes. So

00:28:28--> 00:29:09

musataha salatu salam came back with Nobu. He went to see if he had any lightened guidance, he came back with the biggest guidance and that was Noah and Rhys, Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala sent him to around May Allah subhanho wa Taala really grant us all a listen and understanding. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and how he wanted to guide his uncle to Islam. But Allah subhanho wa Taala decided that uncle Abu Talib would pass away without accepting Islam. So Allah subhanho wa Taala thereafter addresses Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saying in a gala demon, Baba tala King Allah, me.

00:29:11--> 00:29:45

You do not guide whomsoever you wish, oh Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam guidance lies in our hands on lie saying that verse comforted Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam a lot because then he knew that yes, guidance is in the hands of Allah. May Allah guide us all we need to know our hearts are in the hands of Allah subhanho wa Taala make a dua to Allah Allah Maya mckinleyville kulu kulu bana Allah O Allah who turns the hearts turn our hearts towards your deen and not away from it. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant that to us. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala asks a question to the co founder of curation to all of us as well meaning to everyone to entire creation

If Allah wants to let nightfall remain until kiama, and it will be dark until the day of tiama who will bring you light besides Allah? Who can bring you light besides Allah if Allah subhanho wa Taala decides to keep it dark forever and ever Don't you hear?

00:30:16--> 00:30:19

And the next verse Allah says if Allah once will our item enjoy.

00:30:21--> 00:30:26

00:30:31--> 00:30:38

If Allah wants to keep it light throughout up to the day of Tiana, who will bring you the night so that you can rest? Don't you see?

00:30:39--> 00:30:50

Allahu Akbar, the power of Allah. But more than that, I want to show you one of the secrets of the verses here. Allah says in the first case, if we left the dark, who will be a COO,

00:30:51--> 00:30:53

coo

00:31:13--> 00:31:57

ADB, Allah says, do people think that is that it is enough for them to say that we are believers, and then they will not be tested with regards to that claim? We have definitely tested everyone before them. And we shall test everyone in sha Allah after them. Allah subhanho wa Taala says so that we can know those who are truthful in their Eman and those who are liars. That means when I say I'm a mock mean, Allah will test me. He's going to test me with what with hunger? Do I still remain a movement? Or do I start worshipping someone who feeds me? He will test me with death in my family with those who are closest to me. Either I die before them or they've got to die before me Have we

00:31:57--> 00:32:28

ever thought of that? If you are married, you've got to die or your wife's gonna die before you. Or if a person is a wife, then the husband's gonna die or you die before one another or both die together. But that has to come that's a test. when death comes Do you remain a moment? Do you understand it's Allah or do you start questioning Allah decree and lose your Eman? When a calamity befalls you? Do you say Allah that's the best thing if you have decided it? I'm not worried. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says yeah, Allah, if you are happy with me, there is nothing else I want. Nevermind they beat me up into if no problem so long as you are happy with me.

00:32:29--> 00:32:42

Do we do that? So tests will come in our direction May Allah Subhana Allah Allah grant us that understanding. And when a test comes, who do we call out to Allah speaks about that. And this is why the spider is mentioned methylone La Nina

00:32:43--> 00:32:55

Nila La Jolla Catalina Cabo de la that's beta. We're in Honolulu de la kabu la vaca.

00:32:57--> 00:33:35

Allah says, Those who then call out to others besides Allah, they are like those who are seeking protection from the enemy through a spider web. And they should understand the weakest house is that of a spider of a spider. Meaning the web of a spider is so weak Imagine if someone wants to first you and you quickly put the web in front of you and say no, I'm protected. That first will go straight through and the web will also damage your skin. Allahu Akbar its effect. So rather than seeking protection from others, Allah says seek protection from Allah directly. Now Allah subhanho wa Taala granted to us or sallallahu wasallam albaraka Allah and Amina Mohammed Subhan Allah Subhana

00:33:35--> 00:33:37

Allah humblebee Hamdi Ganesha to Allah Allah illa Anta

00:33:38--> 00:34:17

thing you light, don't you hear? Why don't you hear? Why does Allah say Don't you hear? Why didn't he say something else? Because at night, you can't see you can hear. That's why when Allah says, if we kept it dark, who would bring you with light? Don't you hear? Allahu Akbar. And the next one, Allah says, if it was like, who would bring you a darkness? Don't you see? Because during the daytime, you can see Allah never makes a mistake. Because if he said, Don't you see someone might debate the Quran and say, Well, I can't see at night Allahu Akbar. No loopholes in the Quran. Nothing wrong. Allahu Akbar. Allah subhanho wa Taala. Grant has the power to understand the beauty

00:34:17--> 00:34:24

and be the real words of Allah subhanho wa Taala in this poem, then Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us about our own

00:34:25--> 00:34:43

qarun was a very, very rich man. Do you know how rich Let me explain to you No one can compete with qarun in terms of wealth, what luminol coluzzii we gave him treasures, so many treasures full of gold and the most expensive of wealth, man in society how who

00:34:44--> 00:35:00

knows, but he only loku the keys of the treasures, not the treasures. The keys of the treasures were so difficult for a group of powerful men to even carry Allahu Akbar. That's how much wealth he had. today. We have one credit

00:35:00--> 00:35:37

Come and we think we've got the word Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. Here this man had so much that just the keys to those treasures, people could barely carry those keys Allahu Akbar, may Allah grant us the understanding, but he had bad wealth. What is the difference between bad wealth and good wealth? Good wealth is that which when you get it, it makes you humble, you got it in the right way. And it made you closer to people and you spend it on the public, on the people on your family, on goodness in that which will please Allah, because when you spend that money, Allah knows that now you've understood that this wealth came from Allah and you must spend it back on the creatures of Allah

00:35:37--> 00:36:18

subhanho wa Taala. That then is good money in sha Allah, the money which brings you down to earth, which makes you understand your level which makes you still greet the people. That is good wealth, but bad wealth is that and we've spoken about it, where a person begins to become arrogant, and the person begins to feel that I am the one this is my knowledge. I did it myself. And I am the one who did that. And there are some people who are wishing some people who are wishing a we wish color larina Uri donelle hyah dunya la de la misma otelco the people who wanted the junior and they love the junior, they said oh, we hope and we wish that we had like our own McAllen Latina oh two lane

00:36:18--> 00:36:19

Marina

00:36:21--> 00:36:41

our Amina Sani ha, those who had knowledge warned them and said Do you know what the rewards of Allah is far better than all this and the good deeds? May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us rewards and may give us the ability to engage in good deeds. So Allah decided to destroy our own and the earth swallowed him up the following morning. They didn't see him there.

00:36:42--> 00:37:08

For Casa de la vida de la Rosa, we cause the earth to eat him and his whole house and everything he had, it was all gone. Now the people got up in the morning, but where's the palace we saw and they realized it was the punishment of Allah, everything disappeared. Allahu Akbar. This shows us when you have wealth unlock and take it away. So make use of it wise to have it if you don't have it, unlock and give it to you. So understand that do not become

00:37:10--> 00:37:43

such a person that starts complaining to Allah and being ungrateful because you say, you know what, I don't even have anything Allahu Akbar. Let's appreciate whatever we have in sha Allah. So Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions how those who are hoping that they would have had like feel like they made another drive in the city, Allah We thank you for not having given us had you given us you'd have also taken a selfie with him. Allahu Akbar. That is why when you see someone wealthy make dua for them, but tell Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah if it is better for me to have wealth, give it to me if it is not better, don't give it to me. Because sometimes it's not better that wealth can make

00:37:43--> 00:37:55

us the worst of people. So Allah subhanho wa Taala then tells us whom the Akira agenda is created for tilaka daruwalla shiratama jalahalli leadin Allah Yuri Dona

00:37:57--> 00:38:19

Casa de that after we have made it that abode in general, we have created it for those who do not want to be haughty and those who are not corrupt in this dunya will not make us from amongst those who are corrupt and may not make us from amongst those who become arrogant and proud. Then in the next surah Allah subhanho wa Taala has named it after uncouth and Kabuki is the spider

00:38:21--> 00:38:29

and there are two lessons I'd like to mention from this surah Allah subhanho wa Taala in the opening verses tells us early for

00:38:33--> 00:38:37
