00:00:12 --> 00:00:25
			I seek refuge with
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			Allah from the accursed Satan.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:36
			Merciful.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			And peace and blessings be upon the most
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			honored of messengers, our master Muhammad and his
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			family and companions.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			My beloved brothers and sisters, Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			wabarakatuh.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			Alhamdulillah, we begin by praising Allah.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			We testify that there is none worthy of
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			worship besides Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			We send our love and our greetings and
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			our salutations to our beloved Nabi Muhammad salallahu
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			alayhi wa sallam, to his pious and his
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			pure family, to his companions and all those
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			who follow his sunnah until the end of
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			time.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless us
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			to be amongst them.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			Ameen.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			Ameen walhamdulillah.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			Alhamdulillah, just a quick question.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			How many Sajidas are there in the Quran?
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			Who knows?
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			How many Sajidas are there in the Quran?
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			Nobody?
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:23
			Anybody?
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			I believe there's about 11.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			11 Sajidas in the Quran.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			And which one was the first to be
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:28
			revealed?
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			In fact, before I give the Surah away,
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			the first Sajida to be revealed.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			This Sajida, when the Quran was recited, when
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			these verses were recited, everybody will listen to
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:40
			it.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			The Hadith says that when the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			alayhi wa sallam recited these verses, the Muslims,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			the non-Muslims, the Quraysh, the Jinn, everybody
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			who heard it fell in Sujood when they
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			heard these verses being recited.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			This was the first Sajida Allah had revealed.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:55
			In which Surah?
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			Surah Najm.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			Surah Najm, which is in the 27th Juz
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			of the Quran.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			The name Najm means the star.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			The Surah of the star.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12
			And today InshaAllah we'll talk about parts of
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			the Surah, not the whole Surah.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			Just an idea to the context of it.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			And the section which of course contains the
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:22
			Sajida, I want you to understand some of
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			the motifs, the theory, and we'll talk about
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			the lessons to be learned, and it's relevant
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:27
			to us.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			Before we talk about the Surah, I'm sure
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			some of you might be feeling, what's the
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			point of us making Dua and struggling and
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:35
			striving?
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			Nothing seems to be changing when it comes
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:38
			to Palestine.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			The world doesn't change.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			Or in my life, I worked hard, I
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			struggled, I put in the effort, but I
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:49
			wasn't given the results, the bonus, the year
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			-end performance that I hoped for.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			It doesn't happen.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			We tell our kids, as adults, we tell
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			our kids, if you strive and you work
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			hard, InshaAllah things will go well for you.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			But we know the world is unfair.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			It doesn't work that way.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			You could do everything right and still not
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			see the results in your life.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			And you know that the people who are
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:09
			sometimes least deserving of success, of happiness, of
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			progress, they get it sometimes easily.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			The world we live in, the good guy
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			doesn't win.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			The bad guy seems to prosper.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			And they seem to get away with it.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			It's in that mindset, I want you to
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			keep that in mind when you hear these
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:23
			ayat.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			So, Allah SWT, what's the context of when
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			the Surah was revealed?
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			To understand the meaning of Surahs, what we
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			call Tafseer, it's good to understand the historical
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			background.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			Allah SWT didn't just give an email, a
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			new Surah, out in a vacuum.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			Something happened, and then Allah responds to the
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			situation.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			And this is part of the miraculous nature
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:45
			of the Quran.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			Something happens, someone walks into the Masjid and
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			says something, and immediately the Nabi SAW receives
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			revelation.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			He could not have thought that up yesterday.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			So these are in responses to things that
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:57
			happened.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			So now, I take you back to the
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			early days of Islam.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			The Nabi SAW has been preaching now for
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			about 5-6 years.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:09
			And the Quraysh have outright rejected Islam.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			Only a handful of Muslims have embraced Islam.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			Only a handful.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			And those who rejected Islam, they are persecuting
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			the Muslims severely.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			This is where we all know the story
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			of Bilal being dragged through the streets, Sumayya
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			and Yasir being killed.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			This is where the Muslims are under the
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			height of persecution.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			And the Prophet SAW is trying hard to
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			negotiate with the Quraysh, to speak to the
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:32
			Quraysh.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			He even wants to recite the Quran, he's
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			not allowed to read the Quran publicly.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			Whenever he's reciting verses, a group would come
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			around and they would start shouting and screaming,
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			so that the rest of the people could
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			not hear the Quran.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			So the Quraysh, the leadership said to the
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:52
			Prophet SAW, Well, maybe we will believe in
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			you if you give us a sign.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			Something undeniable, something that we cannot dispute.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			Show us something truly miraculous.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			And Allah mentions this in the Quran, many
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			places they ask for a sign.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			Allah says, the sign that you want is
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:05
			this Quran.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			The Quran itself is the sign.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			And Allah reminds the Prophet SAW that in
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			the past, nations asked for miracles.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			The people of Thamud asked, make this rock
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:15
			into a camel.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			And when Nabi Saleh did that, by Allah's
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			permission, they rejected.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			And so then they were destroyed.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			Allah SWT has a principle, you don't play
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:24
			games with Allah.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			If you want the sign, and I give
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			it to you, then there's no turning back.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			Now, before you rejected, okay, that's between you
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			and Allah.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			But when you reject after Allah has given
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			you what you asked for, then the punishment
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			becomes upon you, becomes obligatory.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			And now five, six years have gone by,
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			and the Prophet SAW is very reluctant to,
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			you know, it's like a nuclear bomb, to
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:47
			pull this thing out.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			Because once you go nuclear, you can't go
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:49
			back.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			But he felt the persecution is too much.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			Perhaps if we give them this one sign
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			that they want, they will believe.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			And they asked, what did they ask?
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:58
			Split the moon.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			Split the moon in front of our eyes.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			So the surah before surah Najm is surah
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			Qamar, the surah of the moon.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			The surah before surah Najm, if you go
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			to the Quran, first surah Qamar and then
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			surah Najm.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			Allah says, اِكْتَرَ بَتِ السَّاعَ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمْرِ The
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			surah begins by, the moon has been split.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			You all saw it, Quraysh, all of you
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			saw it, the moon has been split.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22
			اِكْتَرَ بَتِ السَّاعَ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمْرِ Meaning one of
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			the signs, the previous nations.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			You know how we have a sign, when
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			the sun rises from the west, Qiyamah is
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:28
			close?
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			We all know the sign.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			In the previous nations, and they all thought,
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:32
			how is this possible?
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			Allah said, when the moon splits, Qiyamah is
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:35
			coming close.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			So this was a sign for all the
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:37
			previous nations.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			Allah says, ah, the moon has now been
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:40
			split.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			And there's a hadith with the Quraysh, they
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			mention, we were standing, it was the full
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			moon, it was the middle of the night,
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			everyone is coming out looking at the moon.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			Imagine table mountain or lion's head, and the
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			Prophet ﷺ drew a line in the moon,
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			and it split into two halves.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			One side on the one side of the
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			mountain, and the other side of the moon
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			on the other side of the mountain.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			And then it came back together.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			This hadith eyewitnesses.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			The sign was shown.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			You must believe now, you must accept Islam.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			And they rejected this, this is sihr.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			This is some magic that you did on
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:08
			us.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			You did some magic on us.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			We refuse, we reject, and in fact we
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			will persecute you even more.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			Sometimes as we said, you've done everything right.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			You've applied, you've worked, you've struggled, you've put
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			the effort in, the Nabi ﷺ is doing
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			all this.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			And no results to be shown.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			Now what?
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			The bad guy still continues.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			So now Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			the next surah, he reveals ayat.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			And remember the Quraysh, even though they're laughing
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			and joking, they're rejecting the ayat.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			Deep down they're feeling, what if this guy
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:37
			is telling the truth?
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			Now the punishment is going to come on
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			them.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			Now Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, you had
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			your last warning, that's it.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			Now just wait and see.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			Now they are waiting and the Nabi ﷺ
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			is about to recite his ayat.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49
			They were going to make noise, but this
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			time they listened.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			And I'm reading the bottom part of surah
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:53
			Najm.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			And you must understand the mood.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			The sahaba there, tortured, bullied, very despondent, very
		
00:07:59 --> 00:07:59
			unhappy.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			Thinking, when is this thing going to change?
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			The Quraysh feeling pompous and proud, they keep
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			getting away with their crimes.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			They don't want to accept Islam.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			But deep down they're worried, they know what
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			they're doing is wrong.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			As those criminals are sitting around the world,
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			they know what they're doing is wrong.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			They know that eventually a day of reckoning
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:16
			will come.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:22
			So Allah says, أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي تَوَلَّىٰ Have you
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			seen, have you looked at these people that
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			turned away from Islam?
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			They turned away.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:31
			وَأَعْطَىٰ قَلِيلًا وَأَكْدَىٰ They give so little, either
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			so little money in charity, and then they
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			stop, or they give so little attention, and
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			they completely turn away from Islam.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41
			أَعِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ الْغَيْبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰ Do they see
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			the unseen?
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			Can they see the unseen?
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			Do they know what's coming for them?
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:45
			Are you sure?
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			Allah is almost asking them, Are you sure?
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			You are safe?
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:49
			Do you know what's happening to you tomorrow?
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			You step out of the masjid, what's going
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			to happen to you?
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			Do you feel comfortable with the way you
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53
			are going?
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّوْ بِمَا فِي سُحْرِ فِي مُوسَىٰ
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:00
			Did they not reflect on what I said
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			to, in the scripture of Nabi Musa?
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			Allah says, I gave a message to the
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			Bani Israel in the scripture of Nabi Musa.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي وَفَّى And also, I perfectly, as
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			I gave to Nabi Ibrahim.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			Meaning, I gave a message to Nabi Musa,
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			and Nabi Ibrahim, and I'm going to repeat
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			it a third time now.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			This is very important for all of us.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			I'm going to repeat this message now.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			So, subhanAllah, these ayahs, Allah is saying, I
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			revealed it with Nabi Ibrahim.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			And in the Torah, and I'm revealing it
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:27
			again.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:31
			أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى That nobody shall
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			bear the burden of another.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			Everybody is going to be accountable for what
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:35
			they do.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			No one's going to get away with it.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى Nobody is going
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			to be held accountable for somebody else.
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:46
			وَأَنَّ لَيْسَ لِلْإِنسَانِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَى And that
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:51
			each person will reach, every person will get
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			what they earned.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			You will reap with what you sow.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			For good or for bad.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			So this is good news for the believer,
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			bad news for the criminal.
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02
			Allah says, everybody is going to get paid
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			in full what you deserve.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			وَأَنَّ لَيْسَ لِلْإِنسَانِ And for Insan, you will
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:11
			get exactly مَا سَعَى What you were striving
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			towards, you're going to get that which you
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:13
			were striving.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:17
			وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُ سَوْفَ يُرَى And your efforts, your
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:18
			outcome will be shown to you.
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			Allah says, I will give you what you
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:20
			striven for.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			For good or for bad.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			Your life, you're going to hit what you
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			are going towards.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			ثُمَّ يُجَزَوْا الْجَزَاءِ الْأَوْفَى And you will be
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			fully given what you deserve.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			It can either mean you'll be fully rewarded
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			for your actions, or you'll be fully punished
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35
			for your sins.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:38
			وَأَنَّ إِلَى رَبِّكَ الْمُنْتَهَى And that to Allah
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			is the ultimate end.
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:41
			All roads lead to Allah.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			So just a quick reminder, the red bag
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			is for Palestine, and the towel is for
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:49
			the Masjid.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			So just to repeat the ayat, Allah subhanahu
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:56
			wa ta'ala says that, every soul will
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			get, every soul carries its own burden.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			No one is going to help you out
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:00
			on the day of Qiyamah.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:02
			No one is going to take from your
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:02
			deeds.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			And everyone is going to get that which
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			they were struggling and striving towards.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:06
			Allah rewards effort.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			You might not see it in the dunya,
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			you might not get rewarded for your efforts
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12
			in the dunya, but you'll get it in
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:12
			the akhirah.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			And you might get away with your sins
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			in the dunya, but Allah is going to
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:17
			hold you accountable in Qiyamah.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			You can't escape Allah.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			Allah says, وَأَنَّ إِلَى رَبِّكَ الْمُنْتَهَى Ultimately everything
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			comes back to me, comes back to Allah.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			And that to your Lord alone, is the
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			ultimate return of all things.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:30
			Now Allah says, O Quraysh, remember now, Allah
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			says to them, you're going to get what
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:31
			you deserve.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34
			So think about it, you have two students,
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			the one who cheated, and the one who
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:36
			worked hard.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			Allah says to two of them, you're going
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			to get what you deserve.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			For the one, he feels good, I'm going
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:42
			to get what I deserve.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			And the other one who knows he committed
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			crime, he feels the threat.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:49
			So then Allah goes on, وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَدْحَقَ
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:52
			وَأَبْقَى وَأَبْكَى That he is the one who
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			makes you happy, and brings misery.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56
			He is the one who makes you laugh,
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:57
			and makes you cry.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			Your happiness and sadness is with Allah.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحْيَى And he alone gives
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			life, gives death and he gives life.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			He takes the life of some, and he
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:06
			causes others to be born.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			وَأَنَّهُ خَلَقَ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكْرَ وَالْأُنْثَ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ إِذَا
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			تُمْنَى And he is the one that creates
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			the two genders, male and female, from the
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:14
			sperm when it emits.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			وَأَنَّهُ عَلَيْهِ نَشْعَةَ الْأُخْرَى And to him is
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:18
			the resurrection a second time.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			He created, and he will cause you to
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			die, and he will resurrect a second time.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			He will recreate the creation.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			وَأَنَّهُ أَغْنَى وَأَقْنَى And he is the one
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			who gives you wealth, and makes you poor.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			In Allah's hands, he will take from you
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			if he wants, and he will give to
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:33
			you if he wants.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ رَبُّ الشِّعْرَى And he is the
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38
			lord of Sirius, the biggest star in the
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:38
			sky, the brightest one.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			He is the lord, remember this is surah
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:40
			of the star.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			Allah said, I am the lord of the
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:42
			stars.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46
			وَأَنَّهُ أَهْلَكَ عَادًا مِنْ أَعْدَنِ الْأُولَى And I
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			am the one who destroyed the people of
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			Ad, before, originally.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54
			وَثَمُود فَمَا أَبَقَى And I destroyed Thamud, and
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			nothing remains of them.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			What is left of them?
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			وَكَوْمُ نُوحٍ مِن قَبْل And the people of
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			Nuh, right at the beginning, they were also
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:01
			destroyed.
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:02
			I destroyed them.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:06
			أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا هُمْ أَظْلَمَ وَأَطْغَى Why?
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09
			Because they were truly criminals, they were worse,
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:10
			and they continued to do wrongdoings.
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			They continued and continued and continued.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			I imagine this is being recited in the
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			Kanisa, in Israel.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			Allah, imagine, you think you're getting away with
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			it, you're dropping these bombs.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			You're gonna get what you deserve.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			Like, Ad got what it deserved, and Thamud
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			got what they deserved, and the people of
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			Nuh got what they deserved.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			وَالْمُؤْتَفِكَةِ أَهْوَى And the Sodom and Gomorrah, we
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			completely turned them upside down.
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			فَغَشَّاهَا مَا غَشَّاهَا How overwhelming was it when
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			I covered them, when Allah grabs them, when
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			Allah takes accountability of them, nothing can escape
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:39
			Him.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَى So how many of
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			Allah's signs are you going to ignore?
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			How long are you going to ignore the
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:46
			signs of Allah?
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47
			How long are you going to turn away
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			from Allah's warnings?
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			How many warnings do you expect you're gonna
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:50
			get?
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			هَذَا نَذِيرٌ مِّن نُّذِرِ الْأُولَى This, I was
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			talking to the Nabi, and the Quran, this
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			is a warning, like those people had warnings.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			Remember they had warnings, and all of these
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03
			people, they had warners, they rejected the warnings.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			You are also rejecting the warnings.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			You are also turning around what I've given
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:07
			you.
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			أَزِفَةِ الْآزِفَةِ Now, it is coming.
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			Allah is saying to them, now it's coming.
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			The Mufassireen make Tafsir of Qiyamah.
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			But if you were sitting there, as a
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			Quraysh, Allah said it could be the punishment.
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			أَزِفَةِ الْآزِفَةِ It is now on its way.
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:22
			Now I've sent that bomb.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			Now I've sent that punishment.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			لَيْسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ كَاشِفَةِ There is
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			none that can stop, can protect you from
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			it besides Allah.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:32
			You have no protection against this punishment.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:35
			أَفَمِنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ تَعْجَبُونَ From this warning, from
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:38
			this Qur'an, from this recitation, are you
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			making jokes, making a mockery?
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			وَتَضْحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبْكُونَ And you're laughing, and you're
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:43
			not crying?
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:46
			وَأَنْتُمْ سَامِدُونَ And you're still standing here, mocking
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			Allah?
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			فَسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ وَاعْبُدُوا And when the Prophet says,
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:53
			وَأَنْتُمْ سَامِدُونَ You're standing here, waiting.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			Surah ends.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			You better make sujood now.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			فَسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ وَاعْبُدُوا Make sujood now and worship
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			Allah.
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:04
			And they fell in sajida.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:08
			The power of these ayat, that Allah SWT
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			revealed.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			This is the first sajida in the Qur
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:10
			'an.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			And this is when the Quraysh, they were
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:16
			so overwhelmed with fear and anxiety that their
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:19
			crimes would catch up with them that they
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			fell down in sajida.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:22
			And these ayat, as we said, this is
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			the first sajida.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:27
			The tempo of these ayat is a form
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:30
			of warning for the wrongdoers.
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:31
			Your time will come.
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			That everything that you do, Allah SWT is
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			not unaware, He's not oblivious.
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:41
			Every sin, every evil that you do, Allah
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			SWT will reward you in full for that,
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:44
			of punishment.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			And for the good person, Allah SWT also
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:48
			sees your suffering.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			There are many people that go through so
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:54
			much hardship, so much trial, so much effort.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:55
			And they feel, Ya Allah, when am I
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:57
			gonna see things coming right in my life?
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			When will you help me?
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:04
			Allah says, every person will get exactly the
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:05
			effort they put in and more.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:07
			The good doers, they will get what they,
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:09
			what is meant for them inshaAllah.
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			And so, just a bit, as I said,
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:14
			just a small tidbit from the seerah of
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam, and something
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:15
			from the Qur'an.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			So now you know, alhamdulillah, which was the
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			first sajida that was revealed.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			And this one is the one in which
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			all of the Quraysh actually fell down in
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:23
			sujood.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:26
			And it was perhaps this sajida, it was
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:29
			perhaps this moment of sujood, this moment of
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:34
			genuine sincerity, this is Abu Jahl, Abu Lahab,
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36
			even them falling in sujood, that Allah SWT
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			held back his punishment.
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:40
			He held back, there was something good in
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:41
			them that he withheld his punishment.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			That, subhanAllah.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			And it also shows you the power of
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:45
			sujood.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:47
			The power of sujood.
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			That of all our sins and all our
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			mistakes, that moment that you fall down in
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:55
			prostration to Allah, that Allah SWT withholds so
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:56
			much that we deserve.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			We deserve any retribution that comes from Allah.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			But He is mercy to us.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			When we turn to Him in repentance, when
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			we return to Him in sajida, Allah SWT
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			pardons and is willing to be forbearing.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			He said, okay, fine, I'll give you more
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:10
			leeway.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:11
			I'll give you more chances.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			I'll give you more help.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			And so that is perhaps one of the
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			reasons why, when we ask, ya Allah, why
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			don't you destroy these people?
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19
			Why don't you bring your adab?
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			Allah says, if there's anything left in them
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			of goodness, then He will delay it.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:27
			Because once the adab comes, there's no turning
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:27
			back.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			Allah doesn't punish a few times.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			He punishes once and that's it.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			And so this was that moment, and the
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			Quraysh was saved from it through this sajida.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:42
			InshaAllah, may Allah grant us to return to
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:43
			Him when we have sinned.
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:46
			May Allah grant us to feel, when we
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
			struggle and strive, that Allah gives us and
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			rewards us for our efforts in this dunya
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:49
			and the akhira.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51
			May Allah hold those who are accountable.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			May Allah change them or remove them.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			May Allah bring an end to oppression and
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			hardship in the dunya.
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
			And we ask Allah SWT to protect us
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			from His adab.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			May Allah protect us from turning away from
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:03
			His ayat.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:06
			This is not only for the disbelievers, or
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			the criminals, or the Zionists, or whatever.
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09
			This is for us.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			How many ayat do we see?
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:12
			We should read these ayat and think, ya
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:15
			Allah, how many times must I speak to
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			myself, warn you, guide you, tell you to
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:20
			do the right thing, and you continuously disobey
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:20
			Allah.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			There is a limit with Allah as well.
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			And so we ask Allah to protect us
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			from doing anything which incurs His displeasure.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			And ya Allah, if you are displeased with
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			us, we make dua that you forgive us
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:30
			and pardon us.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:31
			Ameen, ameen.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
			Just a few announcements, that inshaAllah on Sunday,
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39
			this Sunday inshaAllah from 9 o'clock in
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:42
			the morning, we will be having a marriage
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:42
			class.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:43
			And this is not just for those wanting
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			to get married.
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:49
			Especially if you have kids that are teenagers,
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			or early 20s, they should come.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			We invest a lot in training our kids
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			to study, and to learn, and to do
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			all that.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			And you know, one of the biggest decisions
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			is if you choose the wrong spouse.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			You know, your life is basically in shambles.
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			And if you choose the right spouse, alhamdulillah,
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:06
			things become good.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:07
			And this is also for people who are
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:08
			married.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			We talk about conflict resolution.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			If your marriage, you want to help and
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			increase in your marriage, then there's also an
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			opportunity for you, yeah.
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:18
			And then there is also the VOC Summer
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			Festival at the Athlone Stadium.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:21
			It is this weekend.
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:25
			And we, the Burhan al-Islam movement, we
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:28
			have a stall there, selling our Hajj, Bukka,
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			Dhikr guides, Bukka treats.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			And if you are in there, please support
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:32
			us, inshaAllah.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			You are mureeds of the masjid, you know,
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			you are our community.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			So if you do go by, then please
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			support the festival, and if you can, the
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:39
			masjid as well.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			JazakAllah khair, wasalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
