Respected viewers, we begin by praising Allah
our creator, our sustainer, our sharisha, our provider.
Peace, blessings, salutations
upon our leader and master Nabi Muhammad
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
his honorable companions and his household.
We come to the 3rd juz of Quranic
kareem.
SubhanAllah another amazing
chapter of Quranic kareem. In the opening verses
of the 3rd Jews of Quran Kareem, we
find Ayatul Kursi. SubhanAllah,
what Allah's Nabi has what a what a
role model.
What an example he has given us by
virtue of which we could protect ourselves and
our families.
SubhanAllah.
You know, people are faced with challenges in
life. People are faced with difficulties in life.
Allah has given us the ideal prescription.
We have Ayatul Kursi on our frames, in
our homes, but we need to read this
on a daily basis after every salah Ayatul
Kursi. When we move on in the 3rd
years of Quran Kareem, Allah
speaks
about a very pertinent aspect and unfortunately
many people
are guilty of committing this crime and that
is the crime of interest.
That all you who believe,
abandon, cancel your transactions
of reba.
Why?
Allah says if you will not cancel your
transactions of reba,
you have declared war with Allah and his
rasool salallahu alayhi wa sallam. And which person
can ever win in a war with Allah?
You know many a times we feel our
sign on the dotted line but we are
declaring war with Allah nowhere else in Quran
and Hadith
except in 2 places
where Allah and his Nabi have mentioned the
word war.
Number 1 is when you interfere with a
friend of Allah
You interfere with a friend of Allah. Allah
says it's not you and him it's me
and you. I will argue his case. And
number 2, the one who engages in interest
is at war with
So this
is a clear cut ruling in Quran Kareem.
Unfortunately
today, you know, we search and we look
for loopholes but this is a clear cut
injunction.
We need to stay away from reba,
stay away from interest. Thereafter, Alakhtabarika Wa Ta'ala
speaks about
perhaps the longest in fact, the longest verse
of Quran Kareem. Where Alakhtabarika Wa Ta'ala speaks
about another fundamental
aspect and that is
when you engage in transaction,
when you engage in trade and commerce
reduce it to writing. How often don't we
find today there is a dispute but there's
no tangible evidence. So the Quran has given
us a beautiful prescription
is that when you engage in a transaction
reduce it to writing.
That's number 3. The 4th point that we
take from the 3rd Jews of Quran Kareem,
speaks
about the greatest man that walked on mother
earth. Every one of us love Muhammad Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam.
Tell them if you really love
study the life of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, study his seerah,
imbibe his character in our lives.
And this is something which is the savior,
not only in this world. There is a
fallacy which unfortunately
we hear the statements that Islam
was that religion that was spread through the
sword. Any person who has an iota of
knowledge with regards to Islamic history would realize
the fallacy of such an idea.
Islam was not spread through the sword. Islam
was not spread through fighting, but Islam was
spread through that noble conduct of Muhammad Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam,
which he himself displayed
and he brought his Sahaba upon that akhlaq.
They became ambassadors of this beautiful deen. They
went from place to place and they told
the people
that become like us. Become like us. And
in the concluding verses
of the 3rd Jews of Quran Kareem, Allah
Tabarakawatullah
says,
Like Allah had taken that covenant from the
souls,
all the
had gathered and Allah told them that if
my Nabi had to come in your time,
you would have to aid him, you would
have to come to his assistance. Every prophet
of Allah said,
indeed we acknowledge.
So in this juz, in the 3rd juz
of Quran Kareem,
Allah it exhorts us to follow in the
footsteps of Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. May Allah
grant us the true love of the Nabi
of Allah. May Allah make us exemplary to
the sunnah.
Grant us the tawfiq and the ability that
we imbibe his lifestyle in our homes, in
our businesses. We beg the almighty Allah to
grant us the true love of Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam.
