00:00:00 --> 00:00:04
			The second last session of Surat Al-Ahzab
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			and then inshallah after this surah we jump
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			right into Al-Ma'idah.
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			So the goal is by next week we
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			should probably need maybe no more than a
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			half an hour to finish off with Al
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			-Ahzab and then to introduce Surat Al-Ma
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:18
			'idah.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			I will try to at least do the
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			first verse of Al-Ma'idah but we'll
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			see how it goes because the introduction is
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			fairly long for that particular surah.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			Some of you asked so I will mention
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			this to you.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			The reason why we're going to Surat Al
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			-Ma'idah is that my intention from the
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			first day that I started here about nine
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			years ago or so was to go through
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			the entire Quran.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			I didn't have a timeline just whenever and
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			however we'll just go through it inshallah.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:53
			And just before COVID we paused in I
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			think verse number 20 or 25 of Surat
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			Al-Ma'idah and then everything had to
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:58
			shut down.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			So the students who have been with me
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			since the very beginning we did Baqarah all
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			the way down to Surat Al-Ma'idah
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			which was quite an accomplishment.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			And that's why we're going back to Al
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			-Ma'idah.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			I'll do just a complete fresh start of
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			the surah and we work our way down
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:15
			inshallah.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:19
			So that's the goal and I'll talk to
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			you a little bit more about why you
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			should take that course here in person and
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			not rely doing it online.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			Online option is really just for those who
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			need it but if you're able to come
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			here we will share with you a few
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			things to think about as to why it
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			is really really important.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			And quite frankly you benefit a lot more
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			in person inshallah.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			But like I said many of them many
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			of the students online are tuning in from
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			all over the world so they obviously can't
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			be here in person but you all can.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			So we'll talk about that inshallah a little
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:53
			more next week.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			So a lot of you weren't here last
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:01
			week so we did quite a few ayats
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			and a lot of different things which you
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			can only those of you who are now
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			joining us today you only get to look
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			at it on Zumba and that's it we
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			forget about it and go on.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			Does that sound good?
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			Let's go back to this okay.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			I won't go through every one of them
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:21
			but we spent some time on this verse
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			the famous verse of surah Al-Ahzab.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			The verse that is quoted in almost every
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			khutbah by all khateebs around the world.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:34
			Where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala orders So
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:38
			indeed Allah showers his blessings upon the Prophet.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			Him as well as his angels they all
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			pray for him.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			Now we talked about what this meant.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:49
			And the ulema give a set of reasons
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			why they think these salawat and salam are
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			sent to the Prophet ﷺ and what that
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:56
			means exactly.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:00
			One opinion that is very common is exactly
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			what you see.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			These are blessings being sent to him ﷺ
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			from Allah and his angels.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			So he's being blessed and it's consistent.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			It's happening regularly every hour of every minute
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			of every day as long as he's in
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			the grave ﷺ.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:21
			So this is one interpretation of what this
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:21
			is.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24
			The second one is Allah is sending barakah
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			to him ﷺ.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			So he is blessing.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			How does the Prophet ﷺ receive barakah when
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:30
			he's in his grave?
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			How does he receive barakah?
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			Okay so he has this but what is
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			he going to do with it?
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			Like how does it benefit him if he's
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:42
			in his grave?
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			It benefits his legacy.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			When Allah talks about that, when the ulema
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			say that this is Allah sending barakah to
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			him, meaning Allah will bless and continue to
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			protect his legacy.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			We don't have the Prophet ﷺ with us
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:02
			in person.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			But you know what we do have?
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			We have all the hadith books.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			We have Bukhari, Tirmidhi, Muslim.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			We have all of this, his legacy and
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:10
			his teachings.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:14
			Not only have they been preserved, but people
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			are studying it and more and more of
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20
			this content is being requested and asked for
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			all around the world.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			So the thirst and the hunger to understand
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			more about who this man was.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			Years ago, at least maybe 20 plus years
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:36
			ago, Time Magazine had an edition where they
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:40
			listed 20 of the most influential people in
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:40
			history.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			And the first person that was on top
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			was Muhammad ﷺ.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			And the reason why they put him there
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:50
			is it met all the criterias that they
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			looked for to qualify on this list.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:57
			And the first criteria was that the evidence
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			to prove that this person actually existed and
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			walked the earth.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05
			And in that, I remember ages ago, before
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			internet or all that, you literally have the
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			physical magazine in front of you and you're
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			flipping through these pages.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:14
			And I remember coming across that there was
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:18
			a sentence, there is absolutely no doubt that
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			Muhammad walked the earth at some point in
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:21
			time.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			So the evidence was clear to them enough
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			that he became the most influential person.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:29
			And it's probably even more so now because
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			the ummah continues to grow exponentially.
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35
			Every single year, hundreds and thousands of people
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			continue to embrace this religion.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40
			So Allah continues to hold his promise that
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			he will protect this deen and protect its
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:42
			message.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			Part of that protection is the sunnah of
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			our Prophet ﷺ, is his teachings.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			One more point I want to mention to
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			you about this.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			Allah says that the angels, so Allah and
		
00:05:55 --> 00:06:00
			his angels pray and send blessings on the
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			Prophet.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			Why not on the Messenger?
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			Why put his title?
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			Why not on Muhammad?
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			So it's like crystal clear.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			The Prophet could be talking about a lot
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			of people who don't know this surah and
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			who are just being introduced to Islam.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:20
			Why did Allah use the title of the
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:20
			Prophet?
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:21
			What do you think?
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			You see, these are things that you normally
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			don't come across or even think about when
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			you read this verse.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			You hear it all the time.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:35
			Why would Allah put his title alone?
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			The ulama, they say a number of different
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:39
			things.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:43
			And the first is that remember what you
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			say to send salat and salam to him.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			You have to know who he is.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:53
			And knowing him is one thing, but respecting
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			and honoring him is something else.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			And part of the respect you show to
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			the Prophet ﷺ is you refer to his
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:00
			title.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			So you can call him an-Nabi.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05
			You can call him Rasulullah.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			Just like his wives did.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			None of his wives, there doesn't exist a
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			single narration that any of his wives called
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:12
			him Muhammad.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			There isn't a single narration that any of
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			them referred to him as my husband.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			He was their husband.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			His name is Muhammad.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			But even his own wives called him Rasulullah
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			or an-Nabi.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			So an-Nabi, the title is a form
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			of honor and respect.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			Secondly, there is only one Prophet that you
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			do this with.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			So it's common sense.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			You already know that the salat and the
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			salam is only going to one Prophet, and
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			that is he ﷺ.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			So there was no need to really emphasize
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:49
			his name.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			But his title, there's a third thing to
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:52
			understand.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:56
			That generally speaking, especially in Arabian culture, when
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			you refer to somebody with their title, and
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			you refer to them not even including their
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:06
			name, just the title alone, ya doktor, ya
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			mu'ali, or some kind of title, it
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:12
			immediately brings about the sense of honor and
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			respect for that individual.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			So even a little bit of the culture
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			of how the Arabs speak and show respect
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:21
			to each other is captured by using this.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			Now you're going to see a lot of
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			that all throughout the Qur'an.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			And when we come across it, we're going
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			to see a lot of things that Allah
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			does not only in this surah, but in
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:34
			other surahs where Allah will mention certain things
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			that the Arabs would do, the culture back
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			then would do.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			So Allah will talk about their routine, that
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			they had caravans that they would travel with.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			Why he tell us all of that?
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:50
			So they had this caravan between the winters
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53
			and summers, and they would use a specific
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:56
			path to travel and do business to get
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			from one location to another.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			Why outline all of that?
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			Like it's almost like a surah about just
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03
			some sort of GPS location.
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:05
			And why give that?
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			We recite that stuff in prayer.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			Then other surahs Allah will talk about the
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			favorite foods, the habits that they had.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:15
			All of this connects us to something which
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			surah Al-Ma'idah will begin to highlight
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:18
			for us.
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:24
			يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيَّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا You notice that it's not
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:30
			يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا Allah says, يَا أَيُّهَا
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:33
			الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا You know what الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا is
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:33
			now.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			So go back to the beginning.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:41
			Allah himself and his angels, they send upon
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:45
			the Prophet ﷺ barakah and blessings to preserve,
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:49
			protect and spread and honor his legacy ﷺ.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:54
			And the people of Iman, especially you, are
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:57
			ordered to continue this discipline.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:02
			صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا So you are ordered.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			And one point you should note is the
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08
			reason why الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا is mentioned is this
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			is a reflection of your Iman.
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:14
			The more you send Salah and Salam to
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:18
			him ﷺ, the more your Iman continues to
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:21
			increase and Allah preserves and accepts your Iman,
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			which is what you're going to see now
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			in the next 40 points.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:28
			So the limitless blessings of saying صلى الله
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			عليه وسلم or اللهم صلي على محمد Take
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			a look at it.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:32
			I mean, I'm not going to ask you
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
			to write this down.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			If you want to just snap a picture
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:35
			of it.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			Few students did that last week.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			Just snap a picture of it.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			All these slides are going to be given
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			to you when the course is done next
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:42
			week, inshallah.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			You will be able to, the students who
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			registered, you will be able to have this.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			So you can wait for it then.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			But if you want to just snap a
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			pic real quick because I'm going to just
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			go through a few of them.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:55
			Every single one of these points has been
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:59
			preserved and collected in a book written by
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			Ibn al-Qayyim.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:05
			He mentions 40 benefits and blessings for saying
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			اللهم صلي على محمد وعلى آل محمد So
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			sending the Salah and Salaam to him.
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			Number one, you fulfill a command of Allah.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			Conforming with Allah, sending blessing upon him.
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			So it's not just any command, but specifically
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			what Allah has ordered you to do.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			This is also in conformity with the angels.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			They're doing something honorable that Allah has commanded
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25
			them to do.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			So the angels are doing it.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			You get to have the same equal honor.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			Ten blessings.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			This is based on a famous hadith.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:41
			من صلى عليّ بها عشرة So whoever sends
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:46
			one Salah or Salaam to me, then they
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:49
			receive in return ten times those blessings.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			So every time you say اللهم صلي على
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55
			محمد just once, you get it back ten
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58
			times more that Allah also sends prayers and
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:59
			blessings to you.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			Just for saying that one sentence, right?
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			What's the Sunnah of Jum'ah day?
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			Like right now, what's the Sunnah when Jum
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:06
			'ah time enters?
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			What is the Sunnah discipline that you carry
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			with all until tomorrow all the way to
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:12
			Maghrib?
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			Yeah, you send Salah and Salaam to Prophet
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			ﷺ.
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:18
			More important than anything else.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			Dua is important, but this is more important.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:23
			Quran is important.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:24
			This is more important.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			You get more blessing, and the day of
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			Jum'ah becomes more blessed for you.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:32
			More barakah in it by just repeating constantly
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			as much as possible.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37
			اللهم صلي على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			صليت على إبراهيم You can do the long
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			version, the short version.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			It doesn't matter.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:45
			اللهم صلي على محمد And this is what
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			you start seeing in return.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			Ten good deeds are written for you.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			Ten sins are erased.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			Dua is accepted.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			Especially, everybody see this?
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:58
			Especially when you begin your Dua with اللهم
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:58
			صلي.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			So everybody knows how to do this.
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:05
			How the prophetic way of making Dua.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			Many knows how to do this.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:11
			So I'm still thinking about it.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			But tomorrow, I think I will devote my
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			khutbah to that subject.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17
			I will just select one ayah.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			But I don't know.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:20
			I'm kind of 50-50 with it.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			There's a whole bunch of things that I
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23
			want to talk about, but I may end
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			up just doing that.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			You're going to ask something?
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			Yeah.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			The Qur'an does both.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:06
			Because the Qur'an also says, لا يسخر
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:09
			قوم من قوم عسى يكونوا خيرا منهم One
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:12
			group is not going to have the title
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			of making fun of or putting down or
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:17
			embarrassing other groups and other tribes and other
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			castes just with the intention to make themselves
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:20
			look better.
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:22
			So the Qur'an achieves both.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			The reason why, I mean, there are several
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:29
			reasons, but the one reason why the Qur
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:34
			'an often would highlight certain cultural and living
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			habits of the Arabs is you have to
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:41
			remember this book came down while these people
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:41
			were alive.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			And the Prophet, the example of this book
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			is walking amongst them.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:50
			So it was kind of tuned to really
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:53
			fit this group and this culture so that
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:56
			they could be leaders in absorbing its message.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:15:00
			So in our context, imagine now if the
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			Qur'an is revealed to us now in
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:09
			2025, but it's revealed in Russia, Russian language.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			What are we going to do, right?
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:14
			We're going to have to figure out, well,
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			either this is not for me, I'm going
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			to have to go through a long journey
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			and learn this new language.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:22
			But if Allah chose English, for us here
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:27
			in 2025, and talks about, you know, in
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			the Qur'an mentions winter, shitaun.
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
			So, wow, we have shitaun right now.
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			The Qur'an mentions night and day.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			We've got night right now.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:40
			The Qur'an talks about clouds, gray clouds,
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:44
			beautiful clouds, puffy clouds, all the different types
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:45
			of clouds are all mentioned in Qur'an.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			We see that pretty much every single day.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			What does that do for you as the
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51
			servant now with this book?
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:54
			It starts to bring this like connection.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			Oh, this is an interesting book.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			I feel like the book already knows me.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			So let me now connect and know him.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			But the Qur'an is marvelous in the
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:08
			sense that it does that, but it also
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:11
			gives a universal message that anybody who reads
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:14
			it regardless of their religion or background will
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			be able to absorb and connect to its
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:16
			message, right?
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			10 good deeds that are written for you.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			Du'a is accepted, intercession of the Prophet
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:21
			ﷺ.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			So what I was saying is that du
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			'a, that's how you start a du'a,
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			right?
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			To begin, you can say bismillah, but you
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:31
			don't have to.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:32
			You start off by praising Allah.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			Lots of times imams, alhamdulillahi rabbil alamin, they
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			recite surah al-Fatiha.
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:41
			Immediately after whatever phrases you wish to choose
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:44
			in your language about praising Allah, you start
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			off, how do you praise Allah?
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:49
			You acknowledge all of the names and attributes
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:50
			of Allah.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			Ya Allah, you are Al-Qadir.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:53
			You are the one that is in charge.
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			You decide our affairs and the affairs of
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:56
			everyone else.
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			You are Anta ala kulli shay'in qadir.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			You have divine decree over anything and everything.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:05
			You're praising Allah and you're honoring Allah for
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			the things that only Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:07
			'ala can do.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			Once you finish with that, that can be
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:11
			as short or as long as you want.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:15
			Number two, Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa ala
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			aali Muhammad kama sallayta ala Ibrahim wa ala
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			aali Ibrahim innaka hamidun majid.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			You can continue, Allahumma barik ala Muhammad.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:23
			Up to you.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			So now you send the salah and salam
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:27
			to him.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:28
			Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			When you're done, number three, you seek Allah's
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:34
			forgiveness at least three times.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:37
			So astaghfirullah or Allahumma khfirli.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			Ya Rabbi, Anta al-ghaffar, fakhirli.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			You are the one, a source of forgiveness.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			You forgive all, so forgive me.
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:44
			And the ulema said to try to do
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			this in odd numbers.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			So if it's one, you can do that.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:49
			But try to do it three because that
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:52
			was more common with the Prophet as well
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:53
			as companions.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:55
			They would seek his forgiveness.
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59
			When you're done doing that, then you get
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			into your dua.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:04
			Now you get into whatever you want to
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			ask for or praise Allah for and show
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:07
			gratitude to him.
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			Point is that when you do that, that's
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:12
			another benefit that you get of learning the
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			importance of saying salah and salam to him.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			Let's just take a look at closest to
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			the Prophet ﷺ on the Day of Judgment,
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			which is really, really big.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:27
			Nothing really that I want to have.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:27
			Yeah.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:38
			I mean, you can just say it in
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			your language if you want to include that.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:43
			So the Ahlul Bayt, so the household of
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46
			the Prophet ﷺ, his beloved companions, and the
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:49
			four khulafa ur-rashidun, Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman,
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:49
			and Ali.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			You can add all of that in your
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:52
			own words.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			It's not necessary.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:57
			The thing, even sending salah and salam in
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00
			your dua, technically your dua is still somewhat
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:01
			valid.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:05
			But by adding this to your dua, you
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:10
			have almost guaranteed your dua to be heard
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			and accepted by Allah ﷻ.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:15
			Like if you want to increase those chances
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:18
			to the highest, best place possible that Allah
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			ﷻ will accept your dua, this is one
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:21
			of the things to do.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:21
			Okay?
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:22
			Yeah.
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			Okay, we're coming to that.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			This is a good question, though.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			Protection material.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			Nothing here I really want to highlight.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			Means to repel poverty.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:40
			Now, just keep in mind, everything that you
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:44
			see here is based on a hadith or
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			an ayah.
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			Or it could be one ayah where a
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			whole bunch of lessons are extracted from it.
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			And that's what Ibn al-Qayyim, rahimahullah, he
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:53
			did.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:58
			Protection of Prophet ﷺ from the Prophet's ﷺ
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			curse.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			What is the curse of the Prophet ﷺ?
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			What is the curse of the Prophet?
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			You know, there's a story.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:09
			You guys remember the Battle of Uhud?
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			The Battle of Uhud happened what year?
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			In Medina.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:15
			Does anybody remember?
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:18
			Like all this stuff is fresh in my
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			head because I just came back from there.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:24
			So it happened in the second year after
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:24
			the hijrah.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:28
			So it overlaps between the second and third
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:29
			year after the hijrah.
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:30
			But here's the thing.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:34
			Which uncle, what's his name that died, that
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			was killed in Battle of Uhud?
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			Does anybody know?
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:40
			Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib, rahimahullah.
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:44
			The Prophet ﷺ loved Hamza.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:50
			Absolutely loved Hamza more than anything.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			Loved him so much.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56
			The stories about how he felt with Hamza
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57
			radiallahu anhu.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:00
			It almost gives you this like, this picture
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:05
			that every chance the Prophet ﷺ had, he
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			cling on to Hamza.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			And he would just be near and close
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			to him and make sure he was protected,
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			make sure he ate, make sure he's clothed
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:14
			very well.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			And the list goes on.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:21
			Hamza radiallahu anhu was killed in the Battle
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:21
			of Uhud.
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:25
			His death is so graphic.
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			You could never, like when I read it
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:31
			like years ago, I remember holding this book
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:32
			and reading through some of the details.
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
			And then sometimes you just close it back
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:35
			and you got to go somewhere.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			And then you just come back and you
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38
			look at it again.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			And then you're just taking sentences about how
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			gruesome it was.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			Here's the point.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:50
			After when the dust settled, the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:53
			started screaming for Hamza's name.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			Hamza, Hamza, Hamza, where are you?
		
00:21:56 --> 00:22:01
			The other companions that survived saw Hamza already.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:05
			But none of them are saying, Ya Rasulullah,
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:05
			he's over there.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:07
			You know why?
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			Why they won't say it?
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:11
			Because they don't want to be the one
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:15
			to shatter his heart and tear his emotions.
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:17
			They don't want to be that person to
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			say actually, Ya Rasulullah, I saw him and
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:19
			he's over there.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			So the Prophet ﷺ just kept yelling, Hamza,
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:22
			Hamza.
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			The other companions in the library were looking
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:25
			like, are you going to tell him?
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:25
			Are you going to tell him?
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:26
			I can't do it, I can't do it.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			Till eventually he finds him, Ali ﷺ.
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:33
			And he finds him with a huge spear
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:36
			that pierced through his lower stomach, abdomen area.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:37
			That's just one part of it, by the
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:37
			way.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:42
			Anyhow, the Prophet ﷺ when he's seen Hamza
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			in the state that he was, there is
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			a statement that some of the scholars, some
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:50
			of the scholars said it wasn't authentic and
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52
			others mentioned it in some of their seerah
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:53
			books.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:58
			But he screams out and he says, لأمثلنهم
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:01
			سبعين مرة I'm going to do the exact
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:04
			same thing to them 70 times, to 70
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05
			people of their army.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:08
			And he kept shouting this over and over
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:12
			and over and screaming until Allah revealed the
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:13
			verse to calm him down.
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:15
			My point here is this.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:22
			You can certainly without a doubt confidently say
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:25
			that even the Prophet ﷺ calls upon Allah
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			for anything, whether it be something in your
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:31
			favor or against someone else, that Allah ﷻ
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:32
			will grant him that.
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			And if Allah ﷻ grants him this and
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37
			he has that kind of relationship with him,
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:40
			then you always have to caution yourself that
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:43
			you never ever upset or cross the boundaries
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:46
			that he ﷺ placed.
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			So the point is that after he did
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:51
			that, eventually the Muslims were able to, I
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:54
			guess you could say avenge a lot of
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			what they lost in Uhud when the Battle
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:57
			of Tabuk and so on happened.
		
00:23:57 --> 00:24:00
			So the point is eventually those people were
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			taken care of that were responsible for this.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06
			The story is really, really detailed, but that's
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:07
			for another time.
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:10
			Leads to the path towards paradise.
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:11
			Let's go here.
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:13
			Protection, terrors are the day of judgment.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			Nothing I want to mention here.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			Don't worry guys, if you don't have it,
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:19
			don't worry about it.
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			You will have these slides.
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:22
			So it's all good.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:27
			Protection from the hardness of the heart.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:28
			Okay.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			You know what I love about this?
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			It's so easy.
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:40
			All you have to do is It's really
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			up to the believer that if they get
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			tired of repetition, okay fine, or sometimes you
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			just get tired, you'll stay quiet for a
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			little while, and you just jump right back
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
			into it.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:50
			And this is, you'll get all of this
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:51
			and much more.
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			Compromise the gradual, it is a du'a.
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:56
			So this is the book for those of
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:57
			you, جلال الأفهم.
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			I don't know if this book is in
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:00
			English.
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:02
			It's one volume.
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:03
			Okay.
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:07
			And you asked about the تسليم from the
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			word سلم or سلم.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:10
			It has several meanings.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:14
			But the one in the ayah, وسلموا تسليم
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			is what you see at the bottom here.
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:21
			So Allah is saying to us, صلوا عليه
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:27
			وسلموا تسليم سلموا to make sure سلم one
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:30
			of its meanings to submit yourself completely to
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:33
			whatever the rules or the laws are.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:35
			Whatever it says, you're going to do it
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:35
			100%.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:36
			You're not going to question.
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			You're going to be like, this one doesn't
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:38
			really make sense to me.
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:40
			This doesn't apply to me.
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:40
			You don't care.
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:41
			You submit yourself.
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:44
			سلم or سلم also means protection.
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:48
			So when you follow these rules, then in
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			essence in return, what do you get?
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			A bit of protection, a bit of comfort
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:55
			by following these laws or these rules.
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:59
			So Allah عز و جل is in essence,
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:03
			teaching us to give in to the instructions
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:05
			of him عليه الصلاة والسلام.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			So every time you see صلى الله عليه
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:10
			and then at the end وسلم, remember this
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:11
			here.
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:15
			سلم or سلم in there, it means to
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:17
			give your all to him عليه الصلاة والسلام.
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			And there are several hadiths to highlight that.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
			The Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام also told us
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:26
			in an authentic narration that whoever is willing
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:29
			to sacrifice their parents and their children for
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:32
			me are those who will truly, truly, those
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			are the ones who have true Iman and
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:35
			are accepted.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:38
			So the point here is that once you
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:42
			have and you live that life where everything
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:45
			and anything that is authentic from him عليه
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:46
			الصلاة والسلام, that is what you submit to,
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:50
			then inshallah ta'ala, Allah will continue to
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			open the doors towards his life and his
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:54
			sunnah for you to follow.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:58
			إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ Let's go now
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00
			towards the end of the surah.
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:04
			إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ لَعْنَهُمْ اللَّهُ Surely
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:06
			those who cause harm to Allah and his
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:08
			messenger are condemned.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:11
			They are cursed by Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			'ala in this world and in the akhira.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:18
			Who is Allah talking about in this ayah?
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:23
			Those who cause harm to, in context, who
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:24
			is it referring to?
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:29
			Who is the main audience and group of
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:31
			this entire surah from the very beginning?
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:34
			Who are the troublemakers?
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:38
			Who are the troublemakers of Medina at this
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:39
			point?
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40
			Who are they?
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			The hypocrites, right?
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:45
			The hypocrites.
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:50
			So this is talking directly, those who cause
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:50
			harm.
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:53
			Remember what the hypocrites, there is a chunk
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			of this surah that's just about them, their
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:59
			behavior, their ways, the sneakiness, the plans that,
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			you know, Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam plans one
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02
			thing and they're doing their own thing and
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:05
			the rumors and the gossip, and all of
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:06
			that that they started.
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:10
			All of this caused harm to the Prophet
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:10
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			So if you cause harm to him, then
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			who is also going to be upset?
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:16
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, right?
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:21
			So Allah then reveals this verse, adha is
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:23
			one of the names of like pain.
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:28
			Adha is a pain that you feel but
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:29
			it leaves like a scar.
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:32
			So you know how like you might get
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:34
			a bruise and you see like it's all
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:36
			purple and blue and whatever, right?
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:37
			You ice it.
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:41
			The color goes back to your normal skin
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			but if you touch that area, it's still
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:46
			somewhat tender and it takes a really long
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:47
			time for that to go away.
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:48
			That's called adha.
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:51
			So even if it's gone, it still has
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:51
			an effect.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:54
			So even if these munafiqun had stopped and
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			said, you know, Ya Rasulallah, we're not gonna
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57
			bother you, we're not gonna spread this stuff
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:58
			about you anymore.
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:01
			Yeah, but what you did was a lot
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:02
			and I don't think I'll ever forget that.
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:07
			You're forgiven but I will not forget the
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			pain and the struggle you put us through.
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:12
			So those who do this are condemned by
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:14
			Allah in this, so they're punished in this
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:16
			world and in the akhirah and Allah has
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:20
			prepared a humiliating punishment.
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:26
			Remember muhina is also used to describe that
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:29
			they will be placed, they will be brought
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:31
			in front of all of mankind and publicly
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:32
			humiliated.
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			That's also captured in the word muhina.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:38
			So when we say humiliating punishment, meaning they
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:40
			are brought in front of all of mankind
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:44
			and they are publicly, Allah will punish them
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:45
			in front of all of mankind.
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:49
			So that adds another layer of embarrassment and
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:50
			humiliation.
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:52
			So this is what the munafiqoon get.
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:56
			What is the pain when we talk about
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			the one who causes harm or pain?
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:02
			What's the pain that they're causing, that the
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:03
			munafiqoon are causing to him?
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:07
			We should know this now.
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:10
			What's the pain that they're causing to him?
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:14
			Think about, go back to Ghazratul Ahzab, everything
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:16
			that we saw and learned and all of
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:17
			that good stuff.
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:22
			Munafiqoon, what was the first thing they started
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			to do when they heard that, okay, the
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:27
			announcement has been made for the battle of
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:27
			Ahzab.
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:30
			We're going to start digging these massive trenches
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:37
			and you know, we're obviously outnumbered, severely outnumbered
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:39
			from the Meccans, but we're still going to
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:39
			do this.
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			What's the first thing the munafiqoon went and
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:41
			did?
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:43
			They started going around to everybody.
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:45
			He's going to do it again.
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:46
			He's going to set you up.
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:47
			You're going to die.
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			Did you remember what happened at Uhud?
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:51
			Now you're going to follow him.
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:52
			They started doing that.
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:54
			That's the Ahzab.
		
00:30:55 --> 00:31:01
			You know, gossip, some people, when you tell
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			them or you ask them about how to
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:06
			deal with gossip, they easily could verbalize and
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:08
			say to you, oh, just ignore it.
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:09
			Just ignore it.
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:14
			That's not easy to do, right?
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:17
			When you really take a moment and you
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:20
			listen to some of the things that people
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:23
			have said and have spread around the community
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:27
			about you, whether it's true or not, just
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:29
			the fact that you're hearing it and obviously
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:32
			the whole broken telephone system happens where, you
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:34
			know, one sentence turns into a completely different
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:36
			sentence when it arrives at that person, then
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38
			it's twisted and it's chained and a whole
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:40
			bunch of other things are added.
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:42
			And before you know it, it was one
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:43
			thing you may have said that turned into
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:46
			a whole paragraph by the time you heard
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:46
			about it again.
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:51
			This stuff hurts, especially the people of Iman.
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:52
			Why?
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:56
			Especially with people who are close to Allah
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:57
			and His Messenger.
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:00
			Why does the rumors and the gossip of
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			people hurt them the most?
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:04
			Why do you think that is?
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:10
			Surely we all know or have been the
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:13
			subject of some kind of rumor or gossip
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:13
			at some point.
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15
			I don't care to what capacity.
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:17
			It could just be between you and like
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:17
			two other persons.
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:19
			But the point is you heard it.
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:21
			You were involved in it.
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:22
			Your name got brought up.
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:26
			Why does that, generally speaking, especially with people
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:28
			of Iman, why does it bother them?
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:31
			When you have Iman, what do you strive
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:31
			to do?
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:35
			You always strive to do the right thing,
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:35
			right?
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:38
			You first and foremost try to please Allah
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:39
			and His Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:43
			So by having that connection and that focus,
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:47
			you assume and you believe that once I
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:49
			follow these two things, Allah and His Prophet,
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:52
			then I'm doing the right thing and people
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:56
			should appreciate and acknowledge and understand I'm not
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:57
			trying to hurt nobody.
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:58
			I'm not trying to break any system.
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:59
			I'm not trying to do anything.
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:02
			I'm trying to follow the two best sources
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:04
			and I'm trying to live an honest life.
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:07
			Still people will tear you apart.
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:09
			Your reputation, your name, just rip you into
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:10
			pieces.
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:12
			It still bothers you.
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:16
			It bothered the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:18
			He used to lose sleep when he heard
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:20
			about some of the things people would be
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:20
			saying about him.
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:22
			It bothered him.
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:24
			Not the Prophet in him but the human
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:24
			in him.
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:29
			So this verse, he needed this verse.
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:32
			He needed to hear this and have this
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:34
			reassurance.
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:36
			He can't deal with the Munafiqun.
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:37
			They're too difficult.
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:40
			He doesn't have the ability to handle all
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:40
			of them.
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:42
			So Allah says, don't worry.
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:43
			We'll take care of them.
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:44
			Here's the thing.
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:46
			Can you really see this?
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:46
			لعنة.
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:48
			لعنهم الله.
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:49
			You ever heard of لعنة الله?
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:52
			It's the most common phrase that people use
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:53
			when they talk about the curse of Allah.
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:57
			So like usually people when they mention Iblis'
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:57
			name.
		
00:33:58 --> 00:33:59
			Iblis, لعنة الله.
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:00
			May Allah curse him, right?
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:03
			This is what لعنة is.
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:08
			لعنة by definition is when the mercy of
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:11
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has been separated
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:12
			or removed.
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:15
			Not just for a temporary period or moment.
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:19
			But there's a lengthy distance between that individual
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:21
			and Allah's mercy.
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:23
			And how do you know this is happening?
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:25
			These are just some of the things that
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:26
			the scholars agree on.
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:29
			That the person no matter what kind of
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:32
			status that they have, what kind of amount
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:34
			of knowledge, what they can do, and what
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:37
			they can see, and how incredibly and highly
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:39
			intelligent they may be.
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:40
			It doesn't make any difference.
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			Everywhere they go, they're still degraded and disgraced
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:44
			and embarrassed and humiliated.
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:45
			All, everything.
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:49
			That is an extension of the cut off
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:51
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's mercy to
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:53
			that person and Allah.
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:55
			So just keep that in mind because لعنة
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:57
			comes up quite a bit throughout the Quran,
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:58
			okay?
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:01
			يَوَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتَ So that was with
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:03
			the Prophet ﷺ, right?
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:05
			This was for the Prophet.
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07
			Allah and His Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:07
			So look here now.
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:08
			This is the rest of us.
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:13
			وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتَ بِغَيْرِ مَا اكْتَسَبُوا
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:17
			فَقَدْ اِحْتَمَلُوا بُهْتَانًا وَإِثْمًا مُّبِينًا As for those
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:21
			who abuse believing men and women without just
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:24
			cause, just for no reason, they will definitely
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:26
			bear the guilt of their slander and blatant
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:26
			sin.
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:32
			What's the punishment of lying and spreading gossip?
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:34
			What's the punishment for that?
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:37
			Good.
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:41
			So number one is there is a consistent
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:42
			punishment in the grave.
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:44
			What else?
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:52
			What happens to your good deeds if the
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:54
			person is involved with these kind of things?
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:58
			Your deeds are all being shaved out of
		
00:35:58 --> 00:35:59
			your scale and removed.
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:01
			And where do they go?
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:03
			The person you're talking about.
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:05
			Even if it's true.
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:08
			So how does that even work?
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:11
			Even what you're saying is true.
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:12
			Because I mean we all hear this.
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:14
			I'm just telling you the truth.
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:15
			I'm not backbiting.
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:16
			They are idiots.
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:18
			I hate them.
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:20
			They're this.
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:20
			They're that.
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:21
			I'm just being honest.
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:24
			And some people like SubhanAllah are really convinced
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:25
			that that's okay.
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:27
			Even if it's true.
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:30
			You can't say it unless what happens.
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:33
			When can you talk about that person and
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:34
			whatever the subject is?
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:35
			When are you allowed to do that?
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:44
			Because the hadith says you cannot talk about
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:46
			them even if you're telling the truth.
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:47
			So when can you talk about them?
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:51
			Never or there are some exceptions.
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:54
			When you're alone, okay.
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:58
			Okay, so depending on the subject maybe.
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:00
			What about them?
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:04
			Like this is just the first thing that
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:05
			popped into my mind.
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:06
			Like if a sister, like if a mother
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:07
			is pregnant.
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:10
			And she tells like her sister or her
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:12
			best friend, yeah, pregnant.
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:13
			Two weeks now.
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:18
			And then that sister goes and just says,
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:19
			yeah, yeah, she's pregnant.
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:20
			Can you believe that?
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:20
			Oh, my God.
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:21
			I'm so happy for her.
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:22
			We should go get her a gift right
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:22
			now.
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:26
			If she finds out after telling you and
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:28
			you alone, don't tell anybody, but I'm two
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:29
			weeks in.
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:31
			And then she finds out that somebody else
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:32
			knew.
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:34
			And even if she doesn't find out.
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:38
			What is the default assumption that you should
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:40
			have about how she would feel that somebody
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:42
			else knew the thing she told you not
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:43
			to tell anyone?
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:44
			How do you think she's going to feel?
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:47
			It might upset her.
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:49
			She might even say, oh, it's okay.
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:49
			I don't care.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:54
			But you and I do not have the
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:56
			right to take that kind of risk.
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:57
			Oh, I know.
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:57
			I know.
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:58
			We grew up like sisters.
		
00:37:58 --> 00:37:59
			Don't worry.
		
00:37:59 --> 00:37:59
			She's not going to mind.
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:00
			I'll tell you.
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:01
			You don't have the right to do that.
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:08
			Unless he or she grants you complete permission
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:09
			to say that.
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:11
			Then you can say that.
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:13
			And you can't add your own flavors to
		
00:38:13 --> 00:38:14
			the sentence.
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:16
			You know, you can't be like, yeah, she's
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:16
			two weeks pregnant.
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:18
			But I really think she's like three weeks.
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:19
			I saw her.
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:20
			I looked a little tight.
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:21
			I don't know what's going.
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:21
			She's walking different.
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:23
			You can't add none of that.
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:23
			Right.
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:25
			Can't do any of that.
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:26
			That's it.
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:31
			So, when you think about gossip in this
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:31
			manner.
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:34
			You know what you immediately start to realize?
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:42
			How little the amount of actual speech and
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:43
			conversation you have.
		
00:38:45 --> 00:38:46
			Decreases exponentially.
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:50
			Like you could probably count the amount of
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:52
			words or sentences you put together.
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:54
			In the first half of your day.
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:56
			If you just eliminate this one thing.
		
00:38:57 --> 00:38:58
			Just don't talk about anybody.
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:00
			It's different when you're talking about the news.
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:01
			When you talk about leadership.
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:02
			When you talk about rules.
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:03
			When you talk about trouble.
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:04
			Things that affect you.
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:04
			And we're not talking about that.
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:05
			That's not ghiba.
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:08
			We're talking about people and their personal affairs.
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:11
			Especially when they're not there present when you're
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:11
			doing it.
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:13
			You don't know if they will like it
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:14
			or not.
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:18
			So, this is what was happening now to
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:19
			the rest of the believers.
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:22
			Those who were abusing all of the companions.
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:26
			And the men and women amongst them.
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:29
			Who were there supporting the Prophet ﷺ during
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:30
			Ghazwatul Ahzab.
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:34
			They were also the subject of these munafiqun
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:36
			spreading all of this craziness.
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:38
			So, they started calling all of his wives
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:40
			insane.
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:41
			Delusional.
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:43
			How could they even come near him?
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:45
			What are you guys doing?
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:47
			And then what they used to do is
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:48
			they'll gather a bunch of their followers.
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:49
			The munafiqun.
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:52
			And they would stand in a place where
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:54
			they would look and observe all these companions.
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:56
			Putting all of their swords and their shields
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:57
			together.
		
00:39:57 --> 00:39:58
			They're digging tools and so on.
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:01
			Heading to the location where they're going to
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:01
			dig these trenches.
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:03
			And they would just be sitting there watching.
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:04
			Look what they're doing.
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:06
			It's like after the war.
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:07
			Like it's so sunny.
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:08
			And they're digging holes now in the middle
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:09
			of the desert.
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:10
			So crazy.
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:12
			What's our version of that by the way?
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:15
			Do we have that kind of version where
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:17
			people look at those Muslims at summertime and
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:18
			be like...
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:20
			They're crazy.
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:23
			45 degrees and she still has that on
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:23
			her head?
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:25
			What's wrong with these people?
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:26
			What kind of religion is that?
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:30
			We still get a bit of the criticism
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:32
			that they created.
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:35
			It still filters on us today.
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:36
			Oh my God.
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:37
			He has to go pray.
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:40
			He put his head on the floor.
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:42
			When you go for sajdah.
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:43
			Public place.
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:44
			You still get it.
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:47
			Still get those same effects of what the
		
00:40:47 --> 00:40:48
			Munafiqun did with him.
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:51
			We still taste a little bit of that.
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:54
			So the people who did that.
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:56
			Who abused the believing men unjustified.
		
00:40:56 --> 00:40:59
			They will definitely bear the guilt of their
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:00
			slander.
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:03
			And their open blatant sin.
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:06
			They didn't do anything wrong.
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:09
			I put this here just because at the
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:09
			end of the day.
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:12
			Did the believers do anything wrong?
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:13
			No.
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:15
			They just followed the instructions of the Messenger.
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:16
			Peace be upon him.
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:26
			Oh Prophet.
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:29
			Ask your wives and daughters and believing women
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:32
			to draw their cloaks over their bodies.
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:35
			This is a new subject now in the
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:36
			surah.
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:38
			And it's only in this area.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:40
			Then we go back to a few more
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:43
			verses about Al-Ahzab and life in Medina.
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:45
			And then the surah will go into the
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:46
			Day of Judgment and conclude itself.
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:49
			I ask you this now.
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:51
			Fifty-nine.
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:52
			Fifty-eight verses.
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:56
			Were more or less on one subject.
		
00:41:57 --> 00:41:58
			Ghazwat Al-Ahzab.
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:00
			Everything that was happening in Al-Ahzab.
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:03
			And the aftermath of Al-Ahzab.
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:05
			What in the world are we talking about
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:06
			right now?
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:10
			Now you're going to see a verse that
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:14
			has been used and abused in circles all
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:16
			over the world till this day.
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:19
			This is one of the verses that even
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:21
			non-Muslims will take and rip apart.
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:27
			To show and attempt to expose anything false
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:32
			or oppressive against women in Islam.
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:34
			This is one of those verses.
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:37
			There is commentary on this verse that is
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:39
			endless online.
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:41
			I typed this verse in on Google just
		
00:42:41 --> 00:42:45
			to have an idea what people have access
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:45
			to.
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:46
			My goodness.
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:50
			I came across at least maybe a dozen
		
00:42:50 --> 00:42:53
			non-Muslim websites that have this verse on
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:53
			there.
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:56
			And they give their own tafsir of what
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:57
			they think it is.
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:00
			And they have it their front page.
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:02
			And if you want to hear about oppression
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:04
			in Islam, then you go and click on
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:04
			that.
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:06
			Then you see all of this.
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:08
			Oh Prophet.
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:10
			So we're going to just capture a few
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:11
			things about this verse.
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:17
			This is now the fifth year in Medina.
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:19
			This is just about a year or so
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:20
			after Al-Ahzab.
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:24
			And what is the wisdom behind revealing this
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:25
			area so late?
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:29
			In total, it's been about 18 years now
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:30
			that Islam is here.
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:35
			So 13 years in Mecca plus an additional
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:36
			three or so years.
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:38
			Maybe a little bit more, give or take.
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:39
			So that's why I say, okay, let's keep
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:42
			it approximately somewhere around 18 years.
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:44
			It could be 17 years.
		
00:43:44 --> 00:43:45
			It could be 16 years.
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:47
			Let's just keep it at that.
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:50
			Because there's about six or seven different numbers
		
00:43:50 --> 00:43:51
			that I came across.
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:57
			So why did it take so long to
		
00:43:57 --> 00:43:58
			get this verse?
		
00:43:58 --> 00:43:59
			Because look at what it's talking about.
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:04
			Believing to draw their cloaks over their bodies.
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:09
			So this here, the women before this verse,
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:15
			they were wearing just regular clothing that wasn't
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:16
			loose.
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:20
			It would obviously reveal and show a lot
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:20
			of things.
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:24
			And some of the clothing and the garments
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:26
			that they have were also very thin and
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:26
			transparent.
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:31
			So these laws started to come down about
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:34
			how a woman should dress, pleasing in the
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:37
			sight of Allah and the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:41
			The first instruction that came is to take
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:42
			the cloaks.
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:43
			What is this called?
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:49
			يُدَنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ جَلَابِي بِهِمْ So they were
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:50
			going to take.
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:52
			So this first word is what you see.
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:54
			يُدْنِينَ comes from إِدْنَا, to bring something close
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:55
			to something else.
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:57
			Daniel, trees will lower themselves.
		
00:44:58 --> 00:44:58
			So this is one of the ways when
		
00:44:58 --> 00:45:01
			you, one of the things that Allah describes
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:03
			in Jannah is that there will be trees.
		
00:45:04 --> 00:45:05
			And when you want to pick a fruit
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:06
			out of this tree, you don't have to
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:07
			climb the tree.
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:09
			The tree will come to you.
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:12
			It will bow and, you know, come closer
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:14
			to you, and you will pick what you
		
00:45:14 --> 00:45:14
			want.
		
00:45:14 --> 00:45:17
			The word used to describe this, that these
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:20
			trees and fruits, قُلْتُوا فُهَا دَنْيَا like they'll
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:21
			just come closer to you.
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:24
			So the same word, when you put it
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:28
			all together, this word here, يُدْنِينَ, take this
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:31
			garment and bring it closer to you.
		
00:45:31 --> 00:45:34
			So this is what ended up happening.
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:35
			The garment now drops.
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:36
			This is how it looks.
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:39
			They were ordered to take one garment, one
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:40
			piece.
		
00:45:40 --> 00:45:41
			It's not two or three.
		
00:45:41 --> 00:45:42
			It's one long piece.
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:45
			Take it and put it over your head.
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:48
			And then the way you know you have
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:51
			a jilbab on, you fulfill this ayam, is
		
00:45:51 --> 00:45:53
			that once you put this over your head
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:55
			and you let go of it, it falls
		
00:45:55 --> 00:45:55
			down.
		
00:45:57 --> 00:46:00
			This is how you know that you have
		
00:46:00 --> 00:46:01
			fulfilled the laws of jilbab.
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:05
			So draw and veil over themselves.
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:08
			If it doesn't fall, then it's not jilbab.
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:10
			So where are we getting this from?
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:12
			We're getting this from this word here.
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:15
			يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَ upon something.
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:18
			It makes contact and then it does its
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:18
			job.
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:21
			Now we need to just talk about what
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:22
			this jilbab is.
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:25
			Jilbab is something that is loose that covers
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:27
			her from the shoulders down.
		
00:46:28 --> 00:46:30
			Do you see anything about covering her hair?
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:32
			No.
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:35
			Is there anything in this ayah about covering
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:36
			hair?
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:38
			No.
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:40
			You know why?
		
00:46:41 --> 00:46:43
			Because those ayat have not been revealed yet.
		
00:46:45 --> 00:46:47
			They come after the surah.
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:54
			So that means then Allah revealed first that
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:58
			the women should wear looser clothing, but their
		
00:46:58 --> 00:46:59
			hair was still out.
		
00:46:59 --> 00:47:01
			That came afterwards.
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:06
			When we teach young sisters about hijab, what's
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:08
			the first thing we make them do?
		
00:47:10 --> 00:47:12
			And then they'll just be like in their
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:13
			tights or jeans and just go about their
		
00:47:13 --> 00:47:13
			way, right?
		
00:47:15 --> 00:47:16
			We did the opposite.
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:23
			The Qur'an starts off with building this
		
00:47:23 --> 00:47:27
			image of modesty with the body first.
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:31
			And as a matter of fact, because of
		
00:47:31 --> 00:47:34
			this ayah, because of this surah, I don't
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:36
			know, Allah knows, I don't know of a
		
00:47:36 --> 00:47:39
			single opinion where the ulema advised the head
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:41
			covering first, then looser clothing.
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:44
			This is the only opinion that you will
		
00:47:44 --> 00:47:46
			come across when you look at tafsir, that
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:48
			if you want to introduce this to yourself
		
00:47:48 --> 00:47:50
			and to your family, you start off with
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:51
			loose clothing first.
		
00:47:52 --> 00:47:53
			The hair will naturally come.
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:55
			So you know what I did one time?
		
00:47:55 --> 00:48:00
			I was giving a lecture at University of
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:02
			Vancouver or something like that.
		
00:48:02 --> 00:48:05
			I was in B.C. Anyhow, this young
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:07
			lady, non-Muslim, she came up to after.
		
00:48:07 --> 00:48:09
			After I did my presentation, I took some
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:11
			questions, she came up to me, and all
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:14
			she had on was a basketball jersey.
		
00:48:15 --> 00:48:15
			Okay?
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:17
			Now you can imagine me.
		
00:48:18 --> 00:48:20
			I'm dressed like this.
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:22
			So I'm like, go ahead, ma'am.
		
00:48:22 --> 00:48:23
			What's your question?
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:27
			So I remember so well that back then
		
00:48:27 --> 00:48:28
			I just had like a booklet.
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:29
			I was writing my notes, and I remember
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:31
			just kind of keeping myself like this.
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:38
			And then, subhanallah, when we think that something
		
00:48:38 --> 00:48:39
			isn't good for us, you have no idea.
		
00:48:40 --> 00:48:42
			You just be sincere, do your job, and
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:44
			Allah will make things easy for you.
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:45
			Here I am thinking she's going to ask
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:48
			me something, and maybe she's going to need
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:49
			counseling, let's go on.
		
00:48:49 --> 00:48:50
			I hope this is quick.
		
00:48:50 --> 00:48:53
			She said, I've been trying, and I really
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:54
			want to become Muslim.
		
00:48:55 --> 00:49:00
			But her parents, they're totally against it.
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:03
			But she's ready to come to Islam, 100%.
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:05
			So she's like, any advice for me how
		
00:49:05 --> 00:49:06
			I can deal with this?
		
00:49:06 --> 00:49:08
			So I said to her, I said, look,
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:12
			why don't you do this?
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:17
			Get yourself some of the traditional outfits that
		
00:49:17 --> 00:49:18
			you see some of these sisters wearing.
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:21
			As a matter of fact, I'll introduce you
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:22
			to some of them, and then let's get
		
00:49:22 --> 00:49:24
			you some of those to start with, and
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:25
			I want you to just pray five times
		
00:49:25 --> 00:49:26
			a day.
		
00:49:27 --> 00:49:27
			She's like, that's it?
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:28
			I said, yeah.
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:30
			And then email me once you get that
		
00:49:30 --> 00:49:30
			routine going.
		
00:49:31 --> 00:49:33
			About three months later, I get this email
		
00:49:33 --> 00:49:34
			from her.
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:38
			And it's a picture, long email, beautiful email.
		
00:49:38 --> 00:49:40
			And she puts a picture of herself with
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:41
			full hijab and abaya.
		
00:49:41 --> 00:49:42
			Guess who's standing beside her?
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:44
			Her mother.
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:50
			With hijab and with the same proper clothes.
		
00:49:50 --> 00:49:54
			And I remember in her first opening, she
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:55
			said, I understand what you did now.
		
00:49:56 --> 00:50:00
			That by not overwhelming, I started with hair
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:03
			first for obvious reasons, and then we can
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:05
			worry about the hair afterwards.
		
00:50:05 --> 00:50:08
			And I was convinced, and I still am
		
00:50:08 --> 00:50:11
			until now, I am convinced that when a
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:15
			young sister tries to dress differently in accordance
		
00:50:15 --> 00:50:19
			to Islamic law, they try and sincerely do
		
00:50:19 --> 00:50:19
			that.
		
00:50:19 --> 00:50:23
			Their own nafs will lecture them every day,
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:24
			you've got to take care of this too.
		
00:50:25 --> 00:50:27
			Their own nafs will tell them that.
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:30
			They'll get this hidden khatib in her heart
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:31
			just saying, you've got to get that hijab
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:32
			going, then it's complete.
		
00:50:33 --> 00:50:34
			You've got to do something.
		
00:50:34 --> 00:50:36
			The guilt will just kill her.
		
00:50:36 --> 00:50:38
			She's kind of like, okay, I've got to
		
00:50:38 --> 00:50:38
			do this now.
		
00:50:39 --> 00:50:41
			And then salah is what preserves all.
		
00:50:41 --> 00:50:43
			Salah puts you on that path now.
		
00:50:43 --> 00:50:46
			And Subhanallah, it's just from Allah, but it
		
00:50:46 --> 00:50:48
			just, again, goes back to the pattern in
		
00:50:48 --> 00:50:49
			this ayah.
		
00:50:49 --> 00:50:52
			These women are now being told to wear
		
00:50:52 --> 00:50:53
			this loose clothing, right?
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:56
			And one state, ذلك أدى أن يعرف فلا
		
00:50:56 --> 00:50:59
			يؤذين In this way, it is more likely
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:01
			that they will be recognized as virtuous and
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:02
			not be harassed.
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:03
			We'll talk about that in a second, but
		
00:51:03 --> 00:51:03
			take a look at this.
		
00:51:04 --> 00:51:05
			So the garment, it drops.
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:07
			It's not too tight.
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:08
			It's loose as one piece.
		
00:51:08 --> 00:51:11
			I have some pictures of what a traditional
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:14
			jilbab looks like these days, right?
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:16
			So you still have like a two-piece
		
00:51:16 --> 00:51:17
			here.
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:20
			Some countries have one big long piece.
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:25
			Now, remember, if you look at these images,
		
00:51:25 --> 00:51:28
			you can tell which culture or country they
		
00:51:28 --> 00:51:28
			come from.
		
00:51:29 --> 00:51:30
			I'm not getting into that.
		
00:51:30 --> 00:51:32
			Because what I will say to you is
		
00:51:32 --> 00:51:32
			this.
		
00:51:32 --> 00:51:35
			Until this day, there are even sahabahs, we
		
00:51:35 --> 00:51:38
			have opinion of companions that said a complete
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:43
			jilbab is something like this, which includes the
		
00:51:43 --> 00:51:45
			covering of her face, and just one eye
		
00:51:45 --> 00:51:45
			is open.
		
00:51:46 --> 00:51:48
			Not the two, like a traditional niqab that
		
00:51:48 --> 00:51:49
			you see.
		
00:51:49 --> 00:51:50
			No, just one.
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:52
			We have companions that took it that, they
		
00:51:52 --> 00:51:53
			were that strict about.
		
00:51:53 --> 00:51:56
			As time went on, Islam spread, people and
		
00:51:56 --> 00:51:59
			culture started to sort of develop their own
		
00:51:59 --> 00:52:01
			version of what a jilbab is.
		
00:52:01 --> 00:52:02
			Here's what I will say to you.
		
00:52:03 --> 00:52:06
			Because some of you must be thinking then,
		
00:52:06 --> 00:52:07
			what is a jilbab here in Toronto?
		
00:52:08 --> 00:52:10
			What is a jilbab here in this part
		
00:52:10 --> 00:52:10
			of the world?
		
00:52:12 --> 00:52:14
			And the answer to that is never just
		
00:52:14 --> 00:52:15
			one clear-cut answer.
		
00:52:16 --> 00:52:18
			The answer to that, it varies.
		
00:52:18 --> 00:52:20
			So here's what I will say to you.
		
00:52:21 --> 00:52:26
			There are approximately six to nine conditions of
		
00:52:26 --> 00:52:26
			a hijab.
		
00:52:26 --> 00:52:28
			Just do your best to follow them.
		
00:52:28 --> 00:52:31
			One of those conditions is whatever you choose
		
00:52:31 --> 00:52:33
			to wear, it should not shape her in
		
00:52:33 --> 00:52:34
			any way, shape or form.
		
00:52:34 --> 00:52:37
			By the way, this conversation in 2025 is
		
00:52:37 --> 00:52:40
			also for men now, right?
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:42
			You ever walk into some of those Levi's
		
00:52:42 --> 00:52:43
			stores and so on, see what they got
		
00:52:43 --> 00:52:44
			for us?
		
00:52:44 --> 00:52:46
			Gone are the days where it was just
		
00:52:46 --> 00:52:47
			a little baggy, and you had to get
		
00:52:47 --> 00:52:48
			a belt and so on.
		
00:52:49 --> 00:52:52
			Yeah, this conversation kind of shifts over now,
		
00:52:52 --> 00:52:55
			also that the men are also required and
		
00:52:55 --> 00:52:57
			reminded, make sure your pants are baggy, it
		
00:52:57 --> 00:52:59
			doesn't shape you, da-da-da-da, and
		
00:52:59 --> 00:52:59
			so on.
		
00:52:59 --> 00:53:02
			Once you can fulfill the rules of what
		
00:53:02 --> 00:53:06
			khimar and jilbab is, that it should be
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:09
			something loose over whatever it is that you're
		
00:53:09 --> 00:53:09
			wearing.
		
00:53:09 --> 00:53:11
			One more thing you should know about the
		
00:53:11 --> 00:53:13
			jilbab, the ulama say it's usually the last
		
00:53:13 --> 00:53:14
			garment you put on.
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:16
			So you can have anything you have on,
		
00:53:16 --> 00:53:17
			and then what the last piece that you
		
00:53:17 --> 00:53:19
			put on that walks you out of the
		
00:53:19 --> 00:53:23
			door, that should all take the image and
		
00:53:23 --> 00:53:24
			the definition of what a jilbab is.
		
00:53:25 --> 00:53:28
			So in conclusion, jilbab is loose clothing.
		
00:53:28 --> 00:53:32
			Whatever you choose to wear, you ensure that
		
00:53:32 --> 00:53:35
			it does not shape that person in any
		
00:53:35 --> 00:53:36
			way, you have fulfilled the jilbab.
		
00:53:37 --> 00:53:39
			All the other intricacies in between, the color,
		
00:53:39 --> 00:53:41
			the material, the style, can I have like
		
00:53:41 --> 00:53:42
			this design?
		
00:53:42 --> 00:53:44
			That's a whole different conversation, it's not our
		
00:53:44 --> 00:53:46
			conversation here, there's a lot of fiqh behind
		
00:53:46 --> 00:53:47
			it.
		
00:53:47 --> 00:53:48
			I'm just giving you an overview from Surah
		
00:53:48 --> 00:53:49
			Al-Ahzab.
		
00:53:50 --> 00:53:52
			So now you understand, jilbab is mentioned in
		
00:53:52 --> 00:53:53
			this surah first.
		
00:53:54 --> 00:53:58
			Khimar, or the head cover, came afterwards, and
		
00:53:58 --> 00:53:59
			that's in Surah An-Nur.
		
00:54:01 --> 00:54:03
			وَلْيَضْرِبْنَا بِخُمُرِهِنْ عَلَىٰ جِيُوبِهِ So take their head
		
00:54:03 --> 00:54:06
			cover now, and turn it, and let it
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:08
			fall in the chest area for obvious reasons.
		
00:54:08 --> 00:54:09
			What happened in Surah An-Nur?
		
00:54:10 --> 00:54:12
			The women, when they started wearing the jilbab,
		
00:54:12 --> 00:54:13
			they didn't have a hijab on their head,
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:14
			right?
		
00:54:14 --> 00:54:15
			So what they used to do is they
		
00:54:15 --> 00:54:17
			used to tie the hair at the back,
		
00:54:17 --> 00:54:19
			and they would have a long ponytail.
		
00:54:20 --> 00:54:22
			And sometimes they would like braid it, and
		
00:54:22 --> 00:54:24
			make certain like designs about it, so all
		
00:54:24 --> 00:54:25
			of it will fall.
		
00:54:25 --> 00:54:27
			Sometimes they would tie it up in their
		
00:54:27 --> 00:54:29
			own way, and they just had different styles
		
00:54:29 --> 00:54:30
			that they would keep.
		
00:54:31 --> 00:54:33
			Then the ayah came about the khimar, which
		
00:54:33 --> 00:54:34
			you now know.
		
00:54:35 --> 00:54:36
			I've brought this up before.
		
00:54:37 --> 00:54:40
			Hijab is not the, technically, it's not the
		
00:54:40 --> 00:54:42
			appropriate name for how we used it.
		
00:54:42 --> 00:54:45
			That's not the way that it's intended for.
		
00:54:46 --> 00:54:47
			Hijab is that.
		
00:54:48 --> 00:54:49
			See that curtain there?
		
00:54:49 --> 00:54:50
			That's a hijab.
		
00:54:51 --> 00:54:52
			Hijab is a sitar.
		
00:54:52 --> 00:54:54
			It's like a curtain that you just open
		
00:54:54 --> 00:54:55
			and close.
		
00:54:55 --> 00:54:56
			That's called a hijab.
		
00:54:56 --> 00:54:57
			That's why Allah says on the Day of
		
00:54:57 --> 00:55:01
			Judgment, وَبَيْنَهُمَا حِجَابٌ So between the wall of
		
00:55:01 --> 00:55:04
			A'raf, there's a hijab that protects Allah
		
00:55:04 --> 00:55:06
			subhanahu wa ta'ala, that anybody can see
		
00:55:06 --> 00:55:07
			him in his true form.
		
00:55:07 --> 00:55:09
			And then eventually Allah will give the order
		
00:55:09 --> 00:55:13
			to the believers that he is most pleased
		
00:55:13 --> 00:55:13
			with.
		
00:55:13 --> 00:55:15
			He will order the angels to remove this
		
00:55:15 --> 00:55:17
			hijab, and they're able to see him in
		
00:55:17 --> 00:55:17
			his true form.
		
00:55:18 --> 00:55:19
			That's how hijab is used in Quran.
		
00:55:19 --> 00:55:23
			So when somebody says to you, especially like
		
00:55:23 --> 00:55:27
			some of those like, those ultra-liberal type
		
00:55:27 --> 00:55:30
			Muslims, there's no hijab for women in the
		
00:55:30 --> 00:55:30
			Quran.
		
00:55:31 --> 00:55:33
			You know what your response to that is?
		
00:55:34 --> 00:55:35
			Yeah, you're absolutely right.
		
00:55:36 --> 00:55:36
			There isn't.
		
00:55:36 --> 00:55:38
			There isn't a single verse that tells us
		
00:55:39 --> 00:55:41
			that you must wear hijab.
		
00:55:41 --> 00:55:43
			Because it's not the word that's used.
		
00:55:43 --> 00:55:45
			It says you must wear khimar.
		
00:55:46 --> 00:55:48
			This is the word, which is more accurate
		
00:55:48 --> 00:55:50
			and more precise.
		
00:55:51 --> 00:55:53
			Khimar, literally a head cover.
		
00:55:54 --> 00:55:56
			Khimar covers the entire head.
		
00:55:57 --> 00:55:58
			You don't see her hair at all.
		
00:55:59 --> 00:55:59
			That's khimar.
		
00:56:00 --> 00:56:01
			The ulema differ by the way.
		
00:56:02 --> 00:56:04
			The ulema have a name for the headscarf
		
00:56:04 --> 00:56:05
			that goes over your eyebrows.
		
00:56:06 --> 00:56:08
			If it goes above the eyebrow, and if
		
00:56:08 --> 00:56:09
			it goes above the hairline.
		
00:56:10 --> 00:56:11
			Each of them have a different name.
		
00:56:12 --> 00:56:14
			The niqab is the one that you usually
		
00:56:14 --> 00:56:14
			see.
		
00:56:14 --> 00:56:15
			The ulema have different names.
		
00:56:15 --> 00:56:17
			If the niqab is just beneath the nose,
		
00:56:18 --> 00:56:22
			the niqab goes up to her eyes, and
		
00:56:22 --> 00:56:24
			if the niqab covers, all of them have
		
00:56:24 --> 00:56:24
			a different name.
		
00:56:25 --> 00:56:30
			So the point here is that this rule
		
00:56:30 --> 00:56:33
			now is brought down to these women.
		
00:56:34 --> 00:56:37
			Because in the midst of all of this
		
00:56:37 --> 00:56:40
			craziness that they're dealing with all across Medina,
		
00:56:41 --> 00:56:43
			what's the one thing you can't afford to
		
00:56:43 --> 00:56:44
			lose?
		
00:56:44 --> 00:56:47
			Keep going.
		
00:56:47 --> 00:56:48
			What about your reputation?
		
00:56:48 --> 00:56:49
			What is your reputation?
		
00:56:49 --> 00:56:51
			What's the label that you carry?
		
00:56:54 --> 00:56:57
			Do you see what it's like out there
		
00:56:57 --> 00:56:57
			for Muslims?
		
00:56:58 --> 00:56:59
			It's not getting better.
		
00:57:01 --> 00:57:02
			It's not getting better.
		
00:57:02 --> 00:57:06
			We're gonna go through perhaps some real tough
		
00:57:06 --> 00:57:08
			times, it seems.
		
00:57:08 --> 00:57:11
			What's the one thing Allah, with all of
		
00:57:11 --> 00:57:15
			this, pop this ayah in number 59, literally
		
00:57:15 --> 00:57:17
			almost at the end of the surah, after
		
00:57:17 --> 00:57:20
			all battle and war just took place.
		
00:57:20 --> 00:57:21
			Let me talk to you a little bit
		
00:57:21 --> 00:57:23
			about your hijab or how you should dress.
		
00:57:23 --> 00:57:25
			Why did Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala do
		
00:57:25 --> 00:57:26
			that?
		
00:57:26 --> 00:57:30
			Because what happens when Muslims, people in general,
		
00:57:31 --> 00:57:34
			when they find themselves in intense situations, what
		
00:57:34 --> 00:57:35
			ends up happening?
		
00:57:35 --> 00:57:37
			They get lost.
		
00:57:38 --> 00:57:39
			They get pulled in.
		
00:57:40 --> 00:57:43
			People who get involved in activism and so
		
00:57:43 --> 00:57:45
			on, they get pulled in.
		
00:57:45 --> 00:57:49
			Then they're required to compromise certain aspects of
		
00:57:49 --> 00:57:49
			their religion.
		
00:57:50 --> 00:57:53
			And this ayah is popped in the middle
		
00:57:53 --> 00:57:57
			of all of this to remind you whether
		
00:57:57 --> 00:58:00
			it's a battle or not, you can never
		
00:58:00 --> 00:58:01
			ever compromise Allah's deen.
		
00:58:02 --> 00:58:04
			That's the whole point.
		
00:58:04 --> 00:58:05
			If you want to get into the political
		
00:58:05 --> 00:58:08
			arena of things and get involved, yeah, they're
		
00:58:08 --> 00:58:09
			gonna pressure you.
		
00:58:09 --> 00:58:11
			They're gonna pull you in different directions and
		
00:58:11 --> 00:58:12
			say, listen, you know, that scarf, it's not
		
00:58:12 --> 00:58:13
			allowed here.
		
00:58:13 --> 00:58:14
			Or that color, you can't do that.
		
00:58:15 --> 00:58:16
			Or yeah, well, you can pray, but just
		
00:58:16 --> 00:58:16
			not over here.
		
00:58:17 --> 00:58:19
			We'll designate a spot for you across the
		
00:58:19 --> 00:58:20
			road in that other place.
		
00:58:21 --> 00:58:22
			Yeah, it might be a little inconvenient.
		
00:58:22 --> 00:58:24
			For some people, like, well, I'm not gonna
		
00:58:24 --> 00:58:24
			do that.
		
00:58:24 --> 00:58:24
			So you know what?
		
00:58:24 --> 00:58:25
			I'll just pray at home.
		
00:58:26 --> 00:58:27
			So he gets home at like 9 p
		
00:58:27 --> 00:58:29
			.m. and he starts with Dhuhr Asr.
		
00:58:30 --> 00:58:32
			Just shoot it out all one time.
		
00:58:32 --> 00:58:34
			This is why this ayah is here.
		
00:58:34 --> 00:58:35
			It's an indirect reminder.
		
00:58:36 --> 00:58:38
			Whether you win the battle or you lose
		
00:58:38 --> 00:58:40
			it, this is one battle you can never
		
00:58:40 --> 00:58:41
			lose.
		
00:58:41 --> 00:58:43
			This is, don't compromise the instructions Allah gives
		
00:58:43 --> 00:58:44
			you.
		
00:58:44 --> 00:58:46
			So this might look like an odd thing
		
00:58:46 --> 00:58:48
			to talk about right now in Surah Al
		
00:58:48 --> 00:58:52
			-Ahzab, but it's certainly, without a doubt, incredibly
		
00:58:52 --> 00:58:53
			important and relevant.
		
00:59:01 --> 00:59:02
			Yeah.
		
00:59:20 --> 00:59:24
			Perhaps, and you know, along on that point,
		
00:59:24 --> 00:59:26
			it's alluded to in this ayah.
		
00:59:27 --> 00:59:29
			So if you fulfill everything in this ayah,
		
00:59:30 --> 00:59:34
			then look, it will be more likely that
		
00:59:34 --> 00:59:36
			they will be recognized as pious and virtuous
		
00:59:36 --> 00:59:38
			women and not be harassed all the time.
		
00:59:38 --> 00:59:39
			This was a problem.
		
00:59:40 --> 00:59:41
			They were being harassed.
		
00:59:41 --> 00:59:43
			They were being whistled at, called out.
		
00:59:44 --> 00:59:46
			There were, you know, guys before they became
		
00:59:46 --> 00:59:48
			Muslim just checking them out and bothering them.
		
00:59:49 --> 00:59:52
			And because this now, this garment, it helped,
		
00:59:52 --> 00:59:55
			it literally extinguished all of that.
		
00:59:55 --> 00:59:57
			Go on YouTube when you get some time,
		
00:59:58 --> 01:00:01
			and there are thousands of videos of people
		
01:00:01 --> 01:00:04
			doing like these social experiments where a girl
		
01:00:04 --> 01:00:06
			will walk down a sidewalk in the middle
		
01:00:06 --> 01:00:07
			of a crowd.
		
01:00:07 --> 01:00:09
			She'll have like jeans and a t-shirt
		
01:00:09 --> 01:00:11
			on, and every other guy is just whistling,
		
01:00:11 --> 01:00:12
			going crazy at her.
		
01:00:12 --> 01:00:15
			The same girl will put on a full
		
01:00:15 --> 01:00:17
			abaya in hijab, walk down the exact same
		
01:00:17 --> 01:00:17
			crowd.
		
01:00:18 --> 01:00:20
			Not a single person even watches her.
		
01:00:20 --> 01:00:23
			So you can see this, like it's been
		
01:00:23 --> 01:00:25
			trialed and tested, right?
		
01:00:25 --> 01:00:27
			So perhaps this is also part of the
		
01:00:27 --> 01:00:29
			importance of this instruction for them.
		
01:00:29 --> 01:00:32
			وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا And Allah Subh'anaHu
		
01:00:32 --> 01:00:34
			Wa Ta-A'la is all-forgiving and
		
01:00:34 --> 01:00:34
			all-merciful.
		
01:00:35 --> 01:00:37
			So these are just some things that needed
		
01:00:37 --> 01:00:38
			to be highlighted.
		
01:00:39 --> 01:00:41
			The ruling on wearing jilbab, you understand.
		
01:00:41 --> 01:00:42
			As long as whatever it is you wear,
		
01:00:42 --> 01:00:43
			it fulfills those rules.
		
01:00:44 --> 01:00:45
			Does it have to be one piece, or
		
01:00:45 --> 01:00:47
			can it also be multiple pieces?
		
01:00:47 --> 01:00:48
			Both of them are correct.
		
01:00:49 --> 01:00:53
			What I would suggest you do is just
		
01:00:53 --> 01:00:55
			stick to the culture you belong to.
		
01:00:56 --> 01:00:57
			So if you go to other parts of
		
01:00:57 --> 01:00:59
			the world, one garment is the culture, wear
		
01:00:59 --> 01:01:00
			one garment when you're there.
		
01:01:00 --> 01:01:02
			But when you're in places like here, wearing
		
01:01:02 --> 01:01:05
			multiple garments and still fulfill the same ruling,
		
01:01:05 --> 01:01:06
			inshallah, it's perfectly okay.
		
01:01:07 --> 01:01:08
			And this is where it is more likely
		
01:01:08 --> 01:01:11
			that they will be recognized as virtuous and
		
01:01:11 --> 01:01:11
			not be embarrassed.
		
01:01:11 --> 01:01:12
			So that's the purpose.
		
01:01:12 --> 01:01:14
			Some say don't wear it, you'll be a
		
01:01:14 --> 01:01:14
			target.
		
01:01:15 --> 01:01:15
			What do you guys think about that?
		
01:01:16 --> 01:01:17
			That's what we'll conclude with inshallah.
		
01:01:18 --> 01:01:20
			Some Muslims will be like, even some parents
		
01:01:20 --> 01:01:21
			will tell their daughters, no, no, no, I
		
01:01:21 --> 01:01:22
			don't want you to wear that.
		
01:01:23 --> 01:01:24
			They're going to stare at you.
		
01:01:24 --> 01:01:25
			They're going to make fun of you.
		
01:01:25 --> 01:01:26
			No, things are too hot out there.
		
01:01:26 --> 01:01:28
			Just do your hair nicely, okay?
		
01:01:29 --> 01:01:29
			Just go.
		
01:01:30 --> 01:01:31
			What do you guys think about that?
		
01:01:33 --> 01:01:35
			It's actually quite common with high school students.
		
01:01:37 --> 01:01:39
			Because usually in that period is when they
		
01:01:39 --> 01:01:42
			become a bit more independent and are asked
		
01:01:42 --> 01:01:43
			to do this on their own.
		
01:01:45 --> 01:01:46
			What do you tell a parent who says
		
01:01:46 --> 01:01:47
			this to their children?
		
01:01:48 --> 01:01:51
			Or a student who says this about, I'm
		
01:01:51 --> 01:01:52
			not ready to wear it because it's just
		
01:01:52 --> 01:01:53
			too crazy out there.
		
01:01:53 --> 01:01:54
			I take the subway.
		
01:01:54 --> 01:01:56
			There's a lot of weird people in the
		
01:01:56 --> 01:01:56
			subway.
		
01:01:56 --> 01:01:57
			I feel like I might get attacked.
		
01:01:57 --> 01:01:58
			What do you tell them?
		
01:02:03 --> 01:02:03
			Okay.
		
01:02:04 --> 01:02:05
			Okay.
		
01:02:05 --> 01:02:06
			Interesting.
		
01:02:07 --> 01:02:08
			Anything else?
		
01:02:10 --> 01:02:12
			What would you guys advise somebody?
		
01:02:13 --> 01:02:15
			I mean, just pretend like, okay, this traditional
		
01:02:15 --> 01:02:16
			garment that we wear.
		
01:02:16 --> 01:02:19
			I mean, it's not a Muslim garment, right?
		
01:02:19 --> 01:02:20
			What Muslims happen to wear?
		
01:02:21 --> 01:02:24
			There's nothing prophetic about what this ta'wud
		
01:02:24 --> 01:02:24
			is.
		
01:02:25 --> 01:02:26
			Prophet ﷺ never wore it.
		
01:02:26 --> 01:02:27
			No companion ever did it.
		
01:02:27 --> 01:02:30
			But if I walk out there and I
		
01:02:30 --> 01:02:32
			go on the TTC or on the subway
		
01:02:32 --> 01:02:35
			at like 12 o'clock at night, it
		
01:02:35 --> 01:02:36
			gets a little crazy.
		
01:02:37 --> 01:02:40
			You might get some stares and people might
		
01:02:40 --> 01:02:42
			say or even do things to you just
		
01:02:42 --> 01:02:43
			because of the way you look.
		
01:02:43 --> 01:02:45
			Oh, there's another Muslim guy over there.
		
01:02:46 --> 01:02:47
			Just harass him.
		
01:02:47 --> 01:02:49
			So how do you protect yourself from that?
		
01:02:50 --> 01:02:54
			This here, there is no easy answer to
		
01:02:54 --> 01:02:54
			it.
		
01:02:55 --> 01:02:58
			But to compromise and say to her, okay,
		
01:02:58 --> 01:03:00
			just don't do it because of this.
		
01:03:01 --> 01:03:04
			I don't think it really matters whether you
		
01:03:04 --> 01:03:07
			abstain from it now or 10 years later.
		
01:03:07 --> 01:03:09
			I think the circumstance will always be there.
		
01:03:09 --> 01:03:12
			It was there even during the time of
		
01:03:12 --> 01:03:13
			the Prophet ﷺ.
		
01:03:13 --> 01:03:17
			You have to decide and make a decision
		
01:03:17 --> 01:03:20
			that if you're going to enter this deen,
		
01:03:20 --> 01:03:21
			what does Allah say?
		
01:03:23 --> 01:03:29
			ادخلوها بسلام كافة Enter this religion wholeheartedly and
		
01:03:29 --> 01:03:31
			completely, fully.
		
01:03:32 --> 01:03:34
			Don't just put like one toe in and
		
01:03:34 --> 01:03:35
			then the other four still out.
		
01:03:35 --> 01:03:37
			One leg in and the other, no.
		
01:03:39 --> 01:03:43
			And then Inshallah Ta'ala with your intention,
		
01:03:44 --> 01:03:46
			بإذن الله leave the rest to Allah ﷻ,
		
01:03:46 --> 01:03:46
			okay?
		
01:03:47 --> 01:03:47
			We'll pause here.
		
01:03:47 --> 01:03:50
			This here we'll have, we'll finish the surah
		
01:03:50 --> 01:03:52
			Inshallah Ta'ala next week.
		
01:03:53 --> 01:03:55
			But just remember please, the booklet is available.
		
01:03:56 --> 01:03:57
			Just print the booklet out.
		
01:03:57 --> 01:03:59
			I really would ask you guys to just
		
01:04:00 --> 01:04:02
			do one old school thing for me.
		
01:04:03 --> 01:04:05
			If you can to just print the booklet
		
01:04:05 --> 01:04:06
			and bring it to class every day.
		
01:04:06 --> 01:04:08
			But if you want to bring your laptop
		
01:04:08 --> 01:04:10
			or tablet, whatever, that's all up to you.
		
01:04:10 --> 01:04:12
			I'm just more of an old school guy
		
01:04:12 --> 01:04:13
			when it comes to that sort of thing.
		
01:04:13 --> 01:04:15
			But next week Inshallah we will delve right
		
01:04:15 --> 01:04:16
			into it.
		
01:04:16 --> 01:04:18
			بإذن الله Okay guys?
		
01:04:18 --> 01:04:21
			وآخر دعوان أن الحمد لله رب العالمين
