Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah Ali Abdullah Saleh woman wala Mubarak, Salaam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. And there you have it, brothers and sisters, we've gone through and recited the entire surah of suta nor, and so today in sha Allah, Allah we will conclude our journey of the Tafseer of this particular surah and then introduce our next subject in sha Allah hota alum. So with that being said, let's continue with verse number 62 on 264 so it's two verses but the lots of interesting things that we can talk about in sha Allah in the middle Menon and Latina men will be learning what are surely indeed the believers are the ones that have true faith
in Allah and His messenger. Okay, what can or marijuana Allah Emery in jammy jam in lemmya stepz know when they are with the now mera here the Marines that Ally's referring to could be several ways. What you can marry who they are with you or messenger Salalah Harley with some that's one. Number two, they are with you. And Allah says Allah, Allah subhana wa Tada. So they are with you, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam along with Allah Subhana, WA Tada. Or number three, the fact that they are with you, means that they are with Allah subhanho wa Taala. So they are with Allah, in their obedience to you, alone knows best. It's a combination of all, many scholars said that it's a little
bit of everything. And so this money is that Allah refers to here now what's happening? What Allah is talking about here is about the dedication and the discipline of a believer to the Prophet alayhi salatu was Salam. You see these sets of verses that we're going to look at a conclude suta Nur are verses that have to apply to every Muslim on the planet,
you know, from previous generations until the day of judgment, every Muslim
The first thing is a love begins with and he says in them in the most emphasis in the Quran. So he's saying that, indeed without a doubt here is the litmus test to see if you are a true, dedicated, devout believer to Allah subhanho wa Taala. I mean, this is something that all of us, as long as we call ourselves Muslims. This is a formula that we use to test how genuine and how true the Islam that we have from within how genuine and true that is in the sight of Allah. How are we doing? You know, the decisions that we make the lifestyle that we choose, how does that all encompass itself and revolve around us being Muslims and following this religion of Islam.
A Latina am an OB la What are suli they are the ones who believe in Allah and His messenger RNA slept with Islam. Now we've got that message quite a few times in the surah
Then OLED does something really beautiful. When you are with the Prophet alayhi salatu, salam, ala embrun gem, even when a command is given that collectively, all of you come together and follow. Now this here in context, it's referring to the call of battle. So when everybody is being given this announcement and call to come to battle and support the profits early, so to slim, not everybody is going to be able to do that. And the monashee code in particular, this is what Allah is doing. He's sifting out those who didn't have that dedication, they weren't going to risk their life for the profit, it sought to set up. So they're going to find different ways. You know, they're going to
hide, they're going to pretend that they're busy, they're going to pretend that they're sick, they're going to do it all. And a less apparent whatever that says, there will be some some of those volunteers that will come to you and ask you for permission to be excused. lemmya herbal hat is that Dino? And Allah says, Those companions in particular, you never leave. The call of the Prophet early salt was set up until you get his permission. This is remarkable. This is how Allah elevates the status of the prophets early subtle Salaam that you don't get to turn the other cheek or to walk away or to ignore his call until you go up to him and say, Hello, Sula. I can go with you. I have a
family. I can go with you. I'm not well, I can't go with you. My Eman is not I can go whatever the reason is, whatever the reason is, you know, the way that we interpret the these verses in our day and age is, just imagine you had a company, right. And you have certain employees, you have one employee that is so dedicated, they're on time, they're working to the grind, they're doing everything you can depend on that employee. But every company has that loosey goosey type employee walks in late, he or she can barely get their work done their duties done, every chance they get they go on their phone, they do something they take extended breaks. Now both of these individuals
come to the boss and say, Look, I need some time off. And if you are an intelligent boss, who do you give time off to?
Who do you give time off to
the person who's lazy? Because they are, they're not actually helping the company in any way. They're making, you know, life in the end the organization of the entire company really difficult. So the boss might say to me, you know what you can go take even three, four days off if you want. Go ahead, we're good. And the employee that really worked well and followed all their duties. Now you say to them, Look, I'm sorry, I can't let you go, I really need you. You know, you're the only person I can depend on or you're one of the employees I can if I really need you, how's that employee gonna feel?
I come in here every day, on time, I do my job. And he gets to get a get days off and I don't This is not fair. hat is that the No, this is not fair. Now that's how we interpret that scenario. But Allah interprets that scenario, that the fact that you were dedicated, you're a true man in the sight of Allah Subhana Allah, you know, this is one of the things about sorta nor it changes our attitude about things that we would normally ignore or find trivial. No one cares, okay, this person gets tired of that, like, Who cares? If the boss wants to give you all time off, that's what he'll do. If he chooses whoever he chooses. That's what you're going to have to cope with. But in core an
Allah is saying himself here, the fact that you dedicated yourself and you did your job right and you did it honestly, religiously in the sight of Allah. Forget the boss now for a second. Let's look at the real boss. He says, Man, you are a true believer. You are
unbelievable guys, this this is this is this is amazing to me that a yet or like this in the corner and had time step Dino, they seek your permission. Here's the second point. They have to seek His permission. So the law while he was setting them, Why? To keep his honor, his status, his leadership. You know, what we're doing here is like these verses are literally literally, they're like a crash course in Advanced Studies and leadership, the leader here now, no matter who it is, if you want any exam
From any task or any duty, so even for teachers out there, you know, you'll be sitting there and you're teaching and you've always got that one student that you're just like, gosh, you know, may Allah guide this child, you know, just, you can't figure out a way to teach this child.
And eventually the kid just says, look, you know, I can't come to class, I can't come to next class, I need some time off, I need to go to the bathroom and every 10 minutes, it just keeps going to the bathroom.
What Allah subhanho wa Taala is going to continue is going to help us to as leaders in whatever capacity how to deal with that situation even further. So the first lesson so far, is when you think you're being gypped out of you know, an opportunity that Okay, you've worked X amount of time, you've dedicated yourself now you should deserve privileges. Allah is saying that look, even if you don't get the permission, even if you don't get those privileges. Just the fact that you are so dedicated to your deen
men Subhana Allah, you are a true believer in my eyes, so proud of wattana in the lesbian is the law, NACA oola. Ik those who actually came and sought permission, they didn't sneak out of the class. They didn't just not show up for work. They actually showed you the dignity, dignity and respect the out of school of law. Again, students, this is you talking to your teachers, your employers, your Imams, you're sure you, your managers, your administration, you go up to them.
You don't just write something on Facebook, I quit, send. No,
you actually take the time and seek their permission, and you show them dignity and respect. And even outside of you know, those kinds of organizations. You want to get married, you found somebody to get married, which you parents don't know. You show them the dignity and the respect. And you go up to your parents found somebody, I want your blessing. I want your permission. I'm ready to get married or remarried or whatever the case is, right? lesbian is that the donecker? Allah says, Allah He can let me know Nabila, what are solely those are people that are true believers and men they are dedicated to Allah and His Messenger are the histological. Some for either the new Kelly unbearably
shutting him, and if they seek your permission from some of the things that only they can do, the layman shit. You see the word schatten is one of the words to that
in the poor, and to describe duties and responsibilities. So Shannon, though the difference between this word and all the other words used is shet known is the kind of responsibility that only you can perform. You can't get somebody else to do it. Only you can do that, Shannon. So Allah is saying, if someone seeks your permission, yada sola
to be exempted or excused.
Based on a task that only they can perform. What does he do?
The limit, domain home homeless stuff, you love them a lot? Oh, my God. Wow. First of all, number one, give them permission.
See, this is leadership. You don't just look at the numbers all the time. You know, I watched the video a while ago, one of the best qualities to build a successful organization, whether that be a business or any other type of organization is not to find people that have skills, that's important, but that's not the priority. It's about people you can trust. How do you gain trust? Is you show understanding, patience, love, concern, care, you actually care about these people, especially when they're volunteers.
When they're volunteers, and they're like, Look, I need some time off. I can be here tomorrow. The the leader, the team leader will say You know what? That's cool. Don't worry.
The limb and chip demin home, so a less talented, perhaps I sell them despite that you having such a great status, give them permission, let them go. That's fine. That's what leaders do. You put yourself in the shoes and situation of those who come to you for concern. And they come to you to you know, for asking for some sort of leeway or exemption in anything
that the true leader considers and tries their best to accommodate and facilitate the request. That's what leaders do. Doesn't matter how often it happens, especially when you're a believer. When you're a believer, and you're a leader. These areas are for you.
Then Allah continues and he does something I never I never saw this coming was still fit Allahu Allah in the la foto Rahim
and seek forgiveness for them from Allah.
Okay, look what just happened.
This same employee that's been lazy at work, not fulfilling their duties asked you for time off. And you gave them time off a lot is saying that you as a leader also asked for forgiveness for that employee. So in other words, don't hold that request against the employee. Let it go. That's what a leader does. supine Allah
Subhana. Unbelievable. Now you're asking for forgiveness for the volunteer who's the lazy volunteer? Or who hasn't shown up in the last three or four shifts? You don't call them out? Were so and so? Well, you know what we need to cancel them, forget them, you know what is not going to work out? You don't embarrass them, you don't put them on the spot.
I truly mean in the sight of Allah, Allah is saying was stuff it alone, ask a lot of forgive them. Who does that? What kind of leader does teachers out there Muslim teachers, your students act up in class. Sure, there are certain disciplinary actions that you go through. But when all is said and done, Allah is saying, ask for forgiveness from Allah for that individual will make their make them a good student a lot make it easy for them all. I give them the strength or they can study, they can concentrate, they can focus. That's what a believer does. And this is where I got the title of this video from how you can test whether or not unrealized whether or not you have a genuine heart, this
is the way this is one of the most profound methods in the entire plan to test your heart if you have a good, genuine heart, even when it's inconvenient.
Even when it's inconvenient. It's incredible.
Any type of leadership, you have parents, we're leaders as well.
One verse, we're responsible for our kids doesn't matter what age they are, as long as they're living with us. We're responsible. We're leaders as well. Your kid messes up pushes every button in you like everything. I mean, what kid doesn't do that, right?
real parents. And I've said this before, just because you have kids doesn't mean you're a parent, true parents that have Amen. They find a way to make things work for their kids. They find a way and they pardon and they forgive and they forget as best as they can. That's the formula that Allah that's the structure that Allah is using. If you want to build a successful organization, whether that organization is a family, a business, and Islamic business, or Masjid or Institute, it doesn't matter. This is the way to do it. It's not going to be a perfect picture. So when those who falter or make mistakes, Allah is saying the true believer I am ordering you to was still fit Allahu Allah
and seek forgiveness from Allah in the law of affordable Rahim does Allah is exceptionally Forgiving and Merciful. You know, one last point about this is that
this is a part of the core and that gives us a taste of the level of forgiveness and mercy Allah has. We don't come close. We don't even come close. Allah is saying he is in the la foto Rahim when is this area coming after what? After you forgive somebody who hasn't fulfilled their tasks or haven't done what you expected or asked them to do?
And they're asking you can you just forgive me and just let me go just Can you just forget about this?
A license in a law have a photo Rahim. So what about you, I want you to what stumped the lahoma law. seek forgiveness from Allah for them. We're getting a taste just as a brief insight men, the level of Allah's forgiveness and mercy. If you were to put all of mankind together all of mankind's forgiveness and mercy into one body, it doesn't even come close to the level of forgiveness and mercy that Allah possesses soprano la

The invitation, the announcement, the Dora, of the Prophet alayhi salatu salam from amongst you, like any other call, invitation, or Dora that you make for one another. In other words, he's your leader. So when he says something or he asks for something
He orders us to do something. Do it don't treat it like as if you guys are telling each other the same thing that's the same as the Prophet it subtle. Salaam No, no, no, no. See how Allah raises the status and leadership of his prophet alayhi salatu was Salam ala mala who led the night at a cellular Luna minco de whether Allah knows which one of you yet to sell the Luna test de la lune. To sell actually come means when somebody you know saloon is like when you're trying to take a sword. When you're taking when you're pulling the sword out, you're pulling it as slowly as you can without making in
the the slightest crack of noise or sound, you just pull up and you're trying your very best. That's called yet to sell aluna. So our version of that is like you're opening a bag of chips and Mom and Dad told you not to, and you're trying to open it into just like
let's get the salon owner, or you know, open a jar of cookies or something. You don't want no one to know. Allah says, I know who's doing that.
What minquan Lee, whether Lee whether is when somebody is hiding on the side of a mountain, you know how in class, you'll have those students at the back row, all the way at the back of the class, and you're sitting behind the person in front of them, just so the teacher can't see them. So don't just like this, because they're on their phones, or they're falling asleep, or they don't have their books open. That's Li whether Allah says I know exactly those of you who are trying to sneak out quietly so that you don't get asked, you don't get recognized. You don't get called up by the prophet alayhi salatu salam, and also those of you who are actually trying to hide in corners of the
mountain, in corners of the classroom, a those of you that are hiding in your in your room, so parents don't find you and don't ask you stuff. Allah knows.

30 Latina you Holly funan Emily, so go and warn people who go against your commands. You know,
what I think about when I look at all of these verses, is Look how the level of organization and discipline the Muslims should be like, the way that we should be.
And in the in the core end, it's so beautiful. Whether we like it or not, we follow the instructions of this man, sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And then when somebody doesn't we ask a lot of forgive them, look at the level of organization. And then look at how we actually organize. Look how we drive out of parking lots. Look what happens when fundraisers begin,
you'll have like, half half the audience will complain What is going on? You know, why do we have to do this? So people get up in the leaf. Look how we stand in line for food. Look how we behave at install time. Look how when we perform we'll do in public in public washrooms.
Look what we do.
You know,
I'll tell you guys, there's a really, really renowned famous grocery store where I live writing in Canada here in the United States as well. And they're building a new note location and that location just happens to be beside a Masjid. Okay. Now, this grocery store, it's awesome. And it's like one of the best you'll ever walk into. I don't want to say the name. But they're building this massive, massive location. And it happens to be beside a Masjid. So the first thing after they purchased the land, they went over to the masjid all the managers and workers and so on. The president of the company went over to the masjid and had a meeting. They wanted to buy the masjid over by their their
and, you know, destroy it so that they could extend their parking lot or whatever, right? And they basically offered a price that the masjid could not refuse.
And the message said, Look, you know, we didn't really think about, you know, leaving here. Let us just do a quick survey within the community. They did their survey and about like 90% of the community didn't want to leave. They actually were happy that the grocery store was
His opening next door, because hopefully it'll bring more people more Muslims and they will know that there's a Masjid right beside. So maybe before they do their groceries after they do groceries, they can pop in pray selectquote for Jamaat, whatever they want. So it will also boost traffic in the masjid. That's not what the owners of the grocery store were thinking, you know what they were thinking.
They went into the meeting with domestic and said, Look, we know that parking is going to be a problem with you guys. That's why you know where we want to purchase this, this building. And then maybe you guys can, you know, we'll give you a price you can't refuse and you guys can go and build from scratch elsewhere. That was what they had. That was their perception. That's what what they were thinking about is the Muslims, how they're going to behave. When, you know, this grocery store will have organization in and out of their parking lots into grocery stores and so on. And then Juma day, where'd you ever see how Muslims park? anywhere they can stop their car pretty much going to
private property going to other businesses going to other companies. And next thing you know, they have to hire security guards just to keep us out. SubhanAllah It's so sad. It's so sad. For legendary Latina, Holly funan Emily, Allah says, warn those who go against all this organization and this discipline, and to see beyond finitude Oh, you see the humara le, there's gonna be a great thickness for all of you. And it's also going to be a painful, painful punishment that awaits Allah subhanho wa Taala. Who thinks like that, with people who have complete disregard for organization, rules and regulations, Allah says, to sleep at home either. You're either going to have a real
difficult life in this world or you just never know I might have a painful punishment waiting for you Subhana Allah, May Allah give us strength.
There's so much to learn from the poor end, if only we as Muslims and as a culture around the globe, took the time to really study this stuff, and implemented and try our best to utilize it. how different we would be, we would be a creation like none other our behavior our example for the planet will be like none other. If we only follow these instructions
in the law, he math is somewhat he will out by no means it is Allah who is the master of the heavens and the earth, or the Allah MoMA and tomorrow he will mejora geralyn la he feels a bit more humble Mr. amilo Allah knows what you all are upon ya Oh my Yoda jerilyn la he Fiona be ob man me no and the day that all of you are going to return back to him. And Allah is going to
pretty much tell you you in a bit inform you what they all used to do. Well, love will be cliche in Ireland, Allah is completely aware of all things. So on that day, Allah subhanho wa Taala will bring it all about and yeah, remember all those times that you illegally parked? Look, it's here on your scale. I counted them against you. The instruction set A and you did something completely different. Now it's against you. Subhana. Allah.
Wow. Remember that time you skipped class and you didn't see you know, you didn't tell the teacher anything you just left completely disrespected her disrespected the classroom. And as a result, because you got away with it, you got away with it. Other students in the class saw Well, you know, he did want to skip tomorrow. And so three other students did it. Because if you now you get now you take the burden of all of those students that skipped after you because you disrespected the classroom, and the teacher and the organization. Now it's against you. subpanel
who thinks like this? Who thinks like this about basic rules and regulation anywhere? So handle law, I'm telling you, you know, this is one of the most obvious obvious flaws and weaknesses we have in our own is just following rules. basic rules are basic adverb and etiquette and that's what's wanted to know did right from the very beginning of this sorta right from the very beginning. It put us in our place. It put us in our place to follow and organize and get our attitude, our act together. That's what the soda was about. And it's called soda to nor because everything in the sutra was about getting us out of darkness, in behavior and attitude, to light. This is what it was about to
light
it
When you follow rules, that's light. That's something that everybody it should you know, that's something that everyone appreciates. Everyone looks at and says, Wow,
wow, look at that. Despite that he could have done anything he wanted. He could have walked anywhere he wanted. He could have parked anywhere he wanted. He didn't.
He didn't he came late. There's the parking lots full. So he went all the way across the street and paid for parking like he should have and walked back to the message just like we were supposed to do. He didn't do what all these other people do. Block the fire hydrant and the handicap parking on the road blocked traffic blocked that drive a trespass. No, he didn't do any of that.
That's what these verses are about.
Respect. And then finally for leaders out there it's about seeking a less forgiveness for your followers and employees and volunteers whoever they may be your students that can't seem to get at the level you want them to. And they asked for some time off to get their you know so selves together. Leslie just asked a lot of forgive them. Don't hold grudges against them. Don't just you know Okay, now you I've got a thumb on you because you're the messed up one in the class. You're the messed up one in the mess. No, no, no, no. Law says don't do that. You're a leader. You carry the qualities and the teachings of the Prophet it select was set up. So you don't do that. And plus your
moltmann Case Closed. The fact that you're a woman, you are required to carry a status, that the average layman Muslim, that the average layman person doesn't have. You're a man in the sight of Allah so act and behave like moltmann subhana wa Tada. This is what gives us that being said guys, this concludes sudipta nor We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to accept this from us We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to uplift us with its knowledge with all the teachings of Ceuta tenotomy Allah so a gel allowed to shower in our hearts and in our lives alone. I mean, I'm so grateful guys, I'm so grateful of him to the left for for making it this far. I don't even know how many sodas we've done.
I stopped keeping track now I just want to keep the momentum going. That's the most important thing to me. And a lot of you messaged about sort of the s scene and suicides Alright, man, so let's get right to that in sha Allah who died. Okay, so the next series we will start tomorrow sudut Yes, scene. And then we will go through that sorter in sha Allah. And then, of course, Seurat out Rockman. Now, why did I choose these suitors to come together? you'll see,
you'll see in our introduction of soda DS in tomorrow, you'll see why a fuse these two sources together. And I'll just leave it at that. With respect to the other subjects that I throw it out. Like I said, I really, really want to figure out a way that we can make this more interactive, I want to share some material with you that you can download and that you can print. And I have a way Now finally, that I can do that.
Today, or maybe by today or tomorrow, expect a really, really, really important announcement. I'll put it all on all of my social media platforms. It's something that I've been working on for the last six, seven months. But it was an idea that I had for the last maybe six or seven years, six or seven years. And so on Hamdulillah, it's complete, and I want to share this with you, I want to be able to have the public access it. So what is this? What am I talking about? Oh, you'll see. Sometime later today, I will post it and I hope and I pray that it is something beneficial to all of us. And I asked a lot so Joel to accept it from us alone.

You know, as I'm speaking to you on the screen, I can see all of you typing there. I just can't always respond because my train of thought is what I'm is what I'm teaching here. So I can see, you know, when you type doors in the back of my mind, I'm like lahoma I mean, but I don't want to lose my train of thought. So I just continued to teach and do what I have to do. But all the wonderful doors that you all send you take the time to write out for me a lot. So
