			are you doing
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			all good thumbs up
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			at hamdulillah
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:56
			last night we began the introduction to Surah Yusuf which we see the first city is about the
perfection and the majesty of the Quran. And Allah subhanho wa Taala You know, this month as we
said, in fact, the very first mention of the Quran in the Quran is attached to the month of Ramadan.
This is the month that we get closer to Allah through the Quran. And the beautiful Hadith the
Prophet Islam says, Allah has special people. And the Sahaba asked who are the special people who
are lost people and the prophets. Allah says they are the people of the Quran, Allah, his own people
and those who are closest to him. The closer you get to the Quran is the closer you get to Allah.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:39
			Remember the Quran we believe is the creation of Allah but it is the column of Allah is the speech
of Allah subhanho wa Taala and so let's get to the prophets of Salaam without this Quran you would
have been lost. So what about us behind Allah? Now begins the story the story that he said is the
best of all stories It began with a dream Yousuf if the use of use of Sidley Avi to his father ever
to my dear father, Indira a to either Ashura coca ideen. In this dream I saw 11 stars was Shamsa
when the sun and the sun and the moon or a tomb I saw them Lisa g Dean, I saw him making sudo to me.
So this is the first mention of never use in the Quran, who is used to use
		
00:01:40 --> 00:02:16
			and edit the video and comes with an IV. So Solomon says, Who is the most noble of people and the
prophets have said basically, nobility is the most noble in the sight of Allah is the one with the
most piety. And so he said, not that kind of nobility I mean, who has the highest lineage now in the
Arabs back in the day, your family and your status meet a lot. So he wants you to know this was a
guy he kind of mentality like, which race is better? The blacks, the whites, the Arabs? He's asking
this question, which raises the base. So the result is if you really want to know based on lineage
who has the highest lineage, then that is useful. Why? Because Yusuf is gonna be the son of an Abbe
		
00:02:16 --> 00:03:01
			Yaqoob the son of an abbey is the son of an amoeba him. So maybe Brahim had two sons, his heart and
his Mary Lisa is in Makkah and from him comes the Arab nation and from the smile will come to be
Mohammed soulful lamb, and from his heart will come all the ambia have been Israel, up until now
visa Moosa Sulayman Isa all of them are from the offspring of NaVi is Huck, maybe his Hawk had a
son, Yahoo, and Yahoo, his nickname is Israel in Israel. That's why when unless you have any sort of
eel, Allah is saying, Oh children of Yaqoob because yaku Mashallah was given a big family 12 seconds
12 sons, and each son would be at the time of its own. So when Allah speaks about the Ebenezer, he
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:46
			was an offspring of Yaqoob. In fact, even the country Israel is based on a sort of a mini Yaqoob. So
Nabil aku, we said has 12 sons, now Yusuf is one of those 12 In fact, he's number 11 second, last
second youngest. Now we know from other sources, and this is from the Jewish scriptures, and it's
nothing contradictory in this, the Navy had a few wives Mashallah. And from the one wife, he had an
obese man, from the from this one wife, he had the other oldest sons. And then from his last wife,
he had Yousuf and the final son beniamino, Benjamin, so Yousuf and Benjamin Binyamin. They were from
one mother and the other team were from either different mother or the other wives, and they were
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:46
			older.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:04:30
			So maybe Yusuf is around seven years old when he sees this dream. And we know that Neville Salam
tells us that the use of was exceptionally beautiful. Allah had blessed abusive with many blessings.
And one of the themes of the surah is how blessings can actually be your test, that the wealthy man,
he's testing this dunya is his money. It's and it might be even more difficult when the man who was
poverty, the man in leadership, the men who become the president, tomorrow, the day after he states
will be that power. That is what did you do? Now Yusuf Ali Salaam, the theme of one of the themes is
use of is given, almost everything is given beauty. And now he's given the love of his father. And
		
00:04:30 --> 00:05:00
			now this dream, like we said, before you become an OB Allah start sending you the unique dreams. So
none of us is having a strange dream. At seven years old, he doesn't understand but his father
understands this is a premonition that he's going to become an OB, Allah has chosen him of all these
12 sons, this boy is going to be an OB. Now as we see and this is important point the beauty of
never use of universal senses. That beauty was as if it was divided in half and one half was given
and spread across all of humanity or the model.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:38
			And supermodels and muscle all of them were given a part of that half of the beauty. And the other
half was given to Yusuf Ali Salaam, very, very beautiful, exceptionally beautiful. And on the
inside, even more beautiful. Now many of us are smiling and see how we wish, but we can see how this
blessing is actually difficult. It's a taste. So in abusive says and what we take from this ayah
also is a beautiful relationship between a very young child, seven year old child with a very old
father. And he's comes to his dad and he says, Yeah, Betty, you didn't say yeah, a B Oh, my father.
Yeah. But he means Oh, my beloved father, I have a dream, I can understand it. How many of us have
		
00:05:38 --> 00:06:15
			gone to our fathers and our mothers, we have a relationship, we can still talk to them about our
dreams, this open relationship between a father and a son that he seems so open that something it's
not a nightmare, I just feel it's an odd one. It's stuck with me. And he tells his dad the dream,
what is the steady and he says it in such a beautiful respectful tone. And the way nebby is hot in
abeokuta. Sorry, response, he says yeah, boonie, my beloved son. So this bond between father and son
is also a big theme of the surah and the respect in which maybe Yusuf has for his father. Now we
could have seen abuse, we just see the dream, but Allah puts in the Quran, how he addresses his
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:54
			father. And this is a big important point, that if you grow up, not giving your parents the correct
respect and the correct honor, and this is the problem that we have today, you're not going to be
able to respect your friends, your siblings, your spouse, your children, that that respect the first
people that we should have, I speak to myself first, the utmost highest respect is that for paid and
in fact, if you look at the Quran, Allah has joined worship with Allah obedience to Allah, the very
next thing, obedience and respect to patrons, that a person and they and this is showing us use of
will have exceptional character, the beginning of your character is how you teach how you treat your
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:33
			parents, and how parents raise those children in that relationship. If that relationship is good,
then Subhanallah is the beginning of becoming a beautiful, a beautiful human being. It is the thing
that needs to be fixed in your life, there is a problem between parents and kids. This is the thing
that needs to be fixed. And so this is my dear father, I have a strange dream. Now we sit in Islam
dreams of a very special place. What do dreams mean? Now that tells us the dreams in somebody comes
there are three types of dreams. All dreams can be summarized into three categories. Most of them
are the dreams of the enough snuff signing, meaning it's on your mind. You know, if you were a
		
00:07:33 --> 00:08:06
			Liverpool fan, you'll be dreaming about soccer yesterday, right? Right, you would be dreaming
because that's what's on your mind that you dream with that which is on your mind. If you had an
assignment and you were very busy with a maths assignment, you'll be dreaming about numbers and
those things. And this is just your subconscious thinking. And a sign of this dream is that when you
wake up, you sort of forget it very quickly. You sort of lose it immediately. It's gone. It doesn't
stay with you. Then they are dreams which scare you like means and any disturbing dream any dream
where you see something bad or you are worried all of it is from shape on every single disturbing
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:44
			dream. A dream that gives you a dreaded feeling is from shape on. And this is ways in which you can
play with us and Ibiza celebrities. If you see something scary a scary dream. Don't say it don't
even tell anyone. If you wake up in the middle of night, blow over your left shoulder and say I want
to be let him initiate on the regime. So those when you get into gene and these things, as we our
subconscious starts to kick in shape on has a greater influence, all he can do is whisper and when
we sleep he can whisper more deeply to us. And this only is a form of playing is a form in which
he's trying to laugh at us. So he makes you dream of a car accident you wake up You think I'm not
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:54
			gonna drive to them and lock myself up then he laughs at you. Don't worry about nightmares, when the
is a third type of dream which is very, very unique. And a recent series of the remainders of
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:35
			resources Prophethood. This relationship with Allah communicates with mankind, they are 46 parts of
IT department, part number 46. The 46 piece is through dreams and this door is open still, meaning
all the other doors of profit would have been closed, but exclude him from Allah is still still
possible. And it's based on very pious people, very few people get this. And if we get a dream from
Allah, as we said, it will be more like a memory. You won't lose it when you wake up. It won't be
scary, it will tell you something which will encourage you to do good if you dream about the process
of settling for example, in a dream when it is a dream from a law. So this kind of dreams are very,
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:59
			very unique. And understanding what these dreams mean the science of dreams is something which is
which Allah blesses only certain people that he sees. the truthfulness of a dream is real Israel is
related to the sincerity of the dreamer. The more pious you are, the more truthful your dreams are,
therefore the ambia the prophets of Allah when they dreamed it was ye from Allah, every dream that
they got was a revelation because that's the level of it
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:37
			sincerity. And those who have the most truthful dreams are those who are the most truthful in speech
therapy, some says the most truthful in speech. So if you see certain dreams, don't think too much
about it. And if they're very special, so what do you do if you have a special dream? you dream
about? nubby salsa lamb, you dream about something very unique. What do you do? Look at what nebia
qu Sr. V uses another use of is coming and telling is that a very special video, what should I do?
Call a a boon a, he says, Oh, my dear son. And as I said, again, the reason why Yusuf has such a lot
of respect for his dad is because his dad gave him that respect. He didn't say abusive. He says, Oh,
		
00:10:37 --> 00:11:21
			my beloved son, my dear son, but this line of communication between them was so open. And so he
says, Oh, my dear son, his advice laptops UI, aka erotica, via key do like a Qaeda initiate on an
alien Sony movie in his advice to use of is don't tell this dream to your brothers. Don't let your
other 10 brothers know about this dream. First advice, don't tell them. Because why they will plot a
big plot against you, they will look to scheme against you. And really shaytan is ever an enemy to
the believers. What does this mean? What does this mean? So number one, Yaqoob knows his sons. And
he understands that as we're going to come to see that between his sons, they are a bit of sibling
		
00:11:21 --> 00:12:00
			rivalry. And he knows already that the oldest sons are looking at Yousuf with a degree of envy. Now
on top of that, to say that Yusuf is going to become an OB, this will just push them over the edge.
So immediately since we send my dear son, don't tell this dream to your your brothers. Also, he's
not only protecting us, as a father, he's protecting his older sons and his other sons. Look at what
he says. He says, your brothers will do something, but shaytan is evil. You know, he doesn't say
your brothers are evil. He says shaytan is evil, meaning shaytan is looking for every way to sow
animosity between you. And this is a beautiful, this surah you learn a lot of etiquettes from the
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:36
			surah you learn how to talk between father and son, you learn to have this open dialogue between
your kids. One thing here, when you're talking about someone, and you talk about something bad about
them, and we all have negative qualities. And we know this person does this to this person that you
shake on as an excuse for him. So we say, Oh, I saw Tuesday in the pub in the shebeen. He was either
we make an excuse for you when we say you know, shaytan is very evil. We don't say what is evil.
That's when it comes to someone else. When it comes to yourself. You don't use a pawn. No, no, no,
it's not my fault. Satan is very evil. That's why I'm here. You don't do that. So you understand the
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38
			difference. If someone does something wrong,
		
00:12:40 --> 00:13:19
			and he's found guilty and he does we say it's shaytans fault. But when you do something wrong and
you speak about yourself you don't blame it on you blame yourself this is the ticket the way in
which he comes so you Yahoo is making an excuse. That is they don't like they have an issue with you
use but it's not their fault, the chickens fault. And so therefore, even though you we love our when
we're good people shaytan will use every means to sow animosity. Also what what maybe who is
teaching us humble Yo, selfie, humble yourself, don't flesh your blessings, you open up the door of
hustle and envy, you open up the door for shaitaan to cause harm. So here's a great blessing. He's
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:58
			going to be an IB. He's saying don't split this news secret, a new car, you've got a new offspring,
you've got a new house, a new promotion. Don't flesh this except with people that you really
sincerely trust. Because we're only human. And humans naturally will look at why you have and not
me. So Humble yourself and don't flush your blessings can age with every single blessing we have,
whether it's a nice steak, whether it's a holiday, whether it's when a romantic date, we need to
take a picture and share it with the world. This is opening the door, opening the door for envy and
opening the door of harming yourself. So we are who is saying to you and us. Don't put it on
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:05
			Facebook, don't spread that you should don't put up maybe just been selected. Thumbs up don't do
that.
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:36
			There are also some people so behind Allah, they only can enjoy the blessings when they make others
feel inferior. Only when other people notice it. Only when other people comment on that new car,
comment on the new shoes, do they feel good about it? They need to feel this is a disease that you
can't enjoy your blessings on your own. This is something to think about. This is a deep sense of
insecurity. And I end up with this ayah Allah Subhana Allah says, and when he speaks about
calamities, but also to blessings, he says, Nicola, so
		
00:14:37 --> 00:15:00
			that when calamity hits you don't feel too bad and despair about it. What will be my attack home and
don't feel too good about Allah gives you this Old Quarter of Allah. Allah chooses we give us and we
takes away Allah subhanho wa Taala gave you money not because of you, but because of him he decided
and Allah takes away not because you have sometimes it's not your fault, but Allah has decreed that
you will never
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:36
			To be a rich person, you will never live in Bishop's coat. That's the choice in the decree of Allah.
So Humble yourself. Whenever you have don't flesh it, don't show it. Only share it with people that
you really trust. And here we see Swan a lot of unconditional love of a father. Now he aku
understands this nebbia who knows what this dream means the use of doesn't know what it means.
Eventually right at the end, you will see the meaning Yahoo understands Yahoo understands this dream
is showing that he himself will make sure you to use meaning use of will exceed Yahoo. But a parent
doesn't mind a child exceeding. But if we we see our brothers going way up and we stuck at the
		
00:15:36 --> 00:16:14
			bottom naturally will feel a pain. But when a dad sees his kids excelling above him, he sees from
Allah, your son will exceed you. He's happy. He's actually a piece of vinyl. This is some unique
bond between a parent and a child that we don't mind our children even outshining Subhanallah How
beautiful is that? So have this open relationship with your parents. One of the problems with the
sons is that the other sons, they didn't speak about the grievances what they did, and so they fell
into misery. Whereas Yusuf comes to his father and looks for advice. And the parents knows and he
has premonition. We'll talk about sibling rivalry tomorrow inshallah, and this is a story about
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:51
			brothers. So if you have siblings, brothers and sisters and we get a lot we sometimes fight with
each other. The surah is for us, inshallah we continue tomorrow. I mean this evening squishin last
night's question was how many verses in the Quran mentioned that the Quran is an Arabic Quran we
said 11 verses and it's so interesting just something I thought about a lot that the next verse
about after the Arabic Allah says I saw even stars with this link in this but alas panda leaves
these easter eggs in the Quran for us to see and then the question is evening, according to the
Hadith dreams are of three types, which is not of these three. So the three types are is the Romani
		
00:16:51 --> 00:17:09
			Neff Sani sola sola hottie shaytani All right, so I think I give the answer away. But it's one of
these four one of these three is Romani from Allah, necessarily from yourself the number c and then
shaytani from shaytaan. So which one of them is not a type of the circle of hate? So now with the
library
