			smilla Hawkman prima hamdu Lillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah it here of total slaughter woman
while at my barracks and Mr. Lee Kuan Bharata, Lucky wallbottle keratin, and brothers and sisters
welcome. This is the beginning of our journey through pseudo ramen, which is the 55th surah of the
poor end. And this is part of a or at least the second part of our series. So we started off with
sort of the scene. And now we are in sort of men. And I've linked these two suitors together simply
because these are the two most popular, most recited studied sources of the entire poor and, and
some of the scholars argue that suta ramen is perhaps one of the most beautiful sutras of the entire
		

			poor and the rhythm of the sort of the subject. And all of these wonderful things that we're going
to discover and learn about is all found under this beautiful chapter of the horn. So there are lots
of introductory points that we're going to get into today. So which is why we're only going to do
the first two verses. But prior to getting into those two verses, I want to talk to you a little bit
about this particular sword on what it represents and why it's important. You first and foremost,
according to the majority of manifests your own sort of thought, Man is a mechi surah. Some of the
scholars have differed on this, but for the most part, the majority of the sutra itself is mechi
		

			Sora, which immediately tells us that the students and the audience of this surah are actually the
poor Ah, and the Meccans themselves. This particular surah was also revealed closer towards the
hedgerow period. So closer towards when the Prophet Ali's salt was set up and his companions
migrated towards Medina. why that is important is that lots of time had passed by where the Mexicans
have received a chunk of the Quran. they've received a lot of the fundamentals of the poor and
they've been taught a lot of this stuff. And for whatever reason, well there are several reasons
mentioned in the Quran. The first is when they first heard the poor and they called the Prophet
		

			Alayhi salat wa salam, the names they called him Majnoon, they call them a sahale said he was a
magician, this was their way of saying, you know, he's such a nice guy. But look at how he messed
himself up. And now he thinks he's a prophet. Now he thinks that God is talking to him. Now he
thinks that he's gotten this exclusive information that only he's received, no one else can get it.
Now, he claims that angels talk to him, poor guy, he's gotten really crazy. So they call them the
metronome.
		

			The point is here in that first scream of criticism, and hatred, the prophet Ali's subtle cillum
continues, he continues to preach his message. And the lesson for you and is really simple. The
challenge of just being Muslim, the names that we're going to be called, and we constantly get
called, you know, the things that are portrayed about Islam and Muslims across the globe. That is no
different than what had started and happened during the second phase with the companions of the
Prophet it sort of set up like it's the same trend that continues till this day, the dynamics are a
little bit different, the approach is a little bit different. But the concept of, okay, you know,
		

			these people, they're miskeen they're poor, they're so messed up, feel sorry for them, that ideas
still exist till this day. When that didn't work. The next phase that started in terms of criticism
to the Prophet is up to them as they call them a liar. So they literally would say to him, okay,
look, we don't feel sorry for you anymore. Something is definitely wrong with you. You know, you're
just making up stuff. You're a complete liar. You don't know what you're talking about. So you need
to stop this. So obviously, the tone the language that you use the approach all of that became more
and more aggressive. And the lesson for you weren't I with that is also really straightforward. Till
		

			this day, although there might be some that feel sorry for us. There are still many that would
literally come to our faces call us all the worst names tell us all the worst things. misrepresent
our religion, write books about it, make tons and tons of videos and documentaries.
		

			about Islam and Muslims, and the misrepresentation just continues to explode, misinterpret
information about the religion take verses of the poor and quoted out of context, misuse and abuse
had the one after the other that continues to this day. And constantly Muslims, particularly
teachers, and leaders will find ourselves constantly in battle, because of the amount of
misinformation brought out there. Now, when that didn't work, the prophet it is subtle, Sam still
continues to preach his message, he doesn't stop he holds on and a lot gives him more and more I am
telling him that look, your job is to continue to do your job, which is to preach and teach this
		

			message, all of the other stuff that comes along with your job, all of the hardships and the pain
that's associated with your journey towards delivering this message, I will take care of that I will
protect you. But you own Mohammed Salah Hollywood send them all Malaika lol Bella, the only thing
that you can do, and that she should continue to do is continue to teach and preach this message in
the color demon, that your job is not to physically guide people but to relay and relay and relay
this information. That's what your duty is, obviously, for some for many of the metcons. That didn't
work either. So what was the next phase? The next phase now was
		

			when you hear repetition in the Quran, what's the first thing that pops into your mind what that
means what that represents, represents emphasis. But in Arabic, as well as in the poor n repetition
is more than just emphasis. Sure that's an important component. That's an important indication that
when you see the poor end repeating itself over and over, it represents Okay, this is how important
this concept is. This message is this point that we want to get across. This is how important it is.
So I'm going to constantly repeated. But another pattern. Another point towards repetition in the
Quran is that this is the stability in the message. In other words, ever notice like a parent, when
		

			they're trying to tell the children to do something or to discipline their children, they'll say,
I've told you once, and they tell you again. And this is the last warning. And you tell them again,
you know, make sure your room is clean before you go to school before you go to work, make sure you
clean your room. And days go by and before you know it, they leave the house, the room is dirty,
then you come back a third time and you say you know what I just I give up. I don't know what else
to tell you. So I'm just gonna keep repeating myself over and over. So there's that stability in the
sense. Another example of that is prayer. You know, you wake your kids up for fudger. And you
		

			literally like, it's like, it's like waking up the dead literally, you're trying to bring life back
to them by waking them up for failure. And every single day it's the same battle. And at some point,
no matter how many Heidi's and no matter how much you tell them that this is good for you. Islam
requires this, this is part of our Deen. At some point, you know, you're with the same battle over
and over. And you just say to yourself, Well, you know what I can't give up. I've got to just keep
doing this, I can't give up and I have to keep on preaching the same thing. I've got to keep telling
them that Look, you've got to wake up, wake up. And as a parent, I'm going to continue waking up my
		

			kids every single day until they get accustomed until they understand it. And if they don't, if they
never open up and embrace fudger and embrace Sala for what it is, then I'm going to leave it with
Allah subhanho wa Taala there's just so much I can do. With that being said, that's the prelude now
to this sort of this surah has the most repetition in any sort of the entire portal and 31 times a
love repeats himself in the Surah 31 times. Now just keep this in mind, okay 31 times the last panel
without it has to say not the same thing in a different way. The exact same sentence. What does that
mean? Some of the relevant now here's a third understanding of repetition in the Quran. It's also an
		

			expression of Allah's anger. You know, it's like this is the final straw. I'll give you one last
final time to get this message. So I'm going to reveal a surah I'm going to repeat myself once
twice, or in this case 31 times. And that's it after this. Live the band now who is a bit shady that
Allah says that he will
		

			punish them with a punish that is severe. They let worthy boohoo we've never punished anyone like
epidemiology been nothing like it in the history of mankind. That's like the final straw. You know
we saw this with Esau early he sent him he started in Islam was challenged send down the Last Supper
as we call it the poor man's version of the Last Supper. Send down a table spread from Jenna so that
we can see and we can eat from it. So you know at first he didn't want to he told them pata tupple
line contain the meaning have Taqwa of Allah, what are you asking me to do? Like fear a life You
really are true believers. Don't do this. That continued and they persist it. No, no, ask your God
		

			or whatever. Ask him to send down this table spread. So he sent it he Sam, he asks a lot all nzlr
Elena Matt, either 10 minutes mm or less send down from the heavens, a man into a table spread, you
know, a dinner a platter that's filled with all of the delights the sweets and the cuisines so that
these people could see your miracle. alive. So which well does it. But then Allah gives a warning,
supine alone, there is no a that I can think of that expresses ullas anger more than his response to
the people who asked for this table spread. There's no verse I can imagine I can think of you know
what I'm going to do.
		

			I'm going to pull it up here, from Sudeten, madam. And I'm going to just read it to you, you know,
just you know, the actual response to the luggages I'm gonna read it to you. So Allah says, This is
verse number 115. Paul, Allahu in the morning, Zillow ha la calm. Allah says, okay, fine, I'm going
to send out your requests to you femaie yet for a better domain calm, whoever disbelieves after even
after I've done this, if you still disbelief in me in my message, look what Allah says fit in the
that's one in the means. This is very personal to a lot. A lot doesn't say fair enough. Fair enough.
We fell in the eye.
		

			So Allah says, number one, me personally,
		

			are the people who are out there.
		

			I'm going to punish them a lot didn't say no. I the people who I Thibault this Elif, again, it's
only from Allah, Who are the people, me personally, I will punish them. Let white people who have
had them in an island mean
		

			a punishment that nobody in the history of mankind had ever received.
		

			You know, that kind of response subpanel love like this here. This response is nothing like it in
the whole Quran. Nothing like it is basically subpanel a tireless saying that he will give down a
response for people who disbelieve after he sends down this platter or this cuisine or this table
spread. After he's done this and you still don't get it. I will prepare something that is exclusive
just for you. If and because you still disbelief that no one else in the history of mankind will
ever receive some kind of love. May Allah protect us from ever being amongst them and love them that
I mean. So now with that being said,
		

			human beings. Here's the next point. Now as we introduce the sort of, with us human beings, there's
only so much we would say, there's only so much we would do. We have limits to repetition, don't we?
At some point we give up, we'll just say like, you know what, I can't do this anymore. I've told you
so many times. I've been working with you for all these months, all these years and you still don't
get it you know what? Forget it. I'm done. I just I can't.
		

			Not a lot.
		

			This is why in our previous episode, episodes, we said
		

			to underestimate Allah's mercy. The level of Allah's forgiveness and his mercy is a direct violation
of Amen. It is a direct violation of the fundamentals of our Deen because we are not more superior
than a lust, forgiveness and love, mercy, mercy. And so with that being said, Allah says in the
first a
		

			man, the exceptionally Merciful One that's the title of this video right?
		

			approximate. This is the first word the opening sentence the introduction, of a pseudo in which
		

			Allah will repeat himself more than he's ever done in any other surah of the entire portal. And the
first thing that he says, I am the exceptionally Merciful One. You know what that entails? This is
the first word of this sutra is what makes the entire sort of beautiful a lot didn't say, a law, I
live in a poorer because if Allah says his name first, if he says Allah, then that would encompass
all of the names of attributes and attributes of Allah subhanho wa Taala. But when he specifies one
of his names, and symbols out of ramen, then you know, now it's very specific, in the sense a lobe
wants you to concentrate on one thing about him as he is going to repeat himself. So what do we know
		

			so far about the sutra, the repetition is there, it's more than just emphasis now, this is a love
really last and final straw with the Porsche with the machine Kuhn and the Meccans. And the last
thing is that out of his own exceptional level of care and mercy to mankind, he will take the extra
step, as you know, by his will, and He will reveal this one final chapter to emphasize just how much
he wants you to get this message. And how does the last panel with how to do this? Now, by the way,
you know, for those of you that study Arabic, this is a cumulative Izmir. Right. And what that means
is that when a love begins with a name, okay, in this case of men, he starts off a sentence or a
		

			chapter report with his name, it means that his mercy is continuous, it never stops, it never ends
and his level of mercy, there is no comparison to it. Meaning when Allah subhanaw taala says,
alright, man, meaning, I am going to now show and explain to you a divine list of things that
illustrate and represent my exceptional mercy to all of mankind. So suta Top Ramen is a list divine
list of all of the things that are a reflection of here's mercy. So this is a less list. You want to
know how Allah is merciful? Go to pseudo ramen. Why? Because the sooner is called sorted or radnet
Okay, fine. But secondly, it starts off with other men. It starts off with this name. Now I've done
		

			a whole episode about All right, so you can go back it's on the YouTube channel when we did sorted
to know you'll see that there's a video there about the mercy of Allah you can go and you can listen
through it and I talked about how you know translating merciful ramen or Rama as just merciful just
does not do justice. It does not do just it doesn't even come close. I don't know what the word
that's most appropriate that really captures at least a good image and a good understanding of
Abrahamic I don't know a word in the English language to do that. That's why I just called the ron
paul ryan I have a lot anyhow, so a Rodman so now we know that the reason why this sort of began
		

			this way, is a loved one suit to focus on his exceptional mercy that he has no human being can have
it like him some kind of weird odd number to remember the audience of this sorta It is important for
you to understand why the suit plays out the way that it does. When you consider the audience it's
talking to. It's talking to a really stubborn audience and audience that human beings would give up
with a loss not giving up. Now, here's the last and final part of this episode, which is the second
as I lemon.
		

			We taught the poor and
		

			you know, this is so beautiful.
		

			It's so beautiful. It is so remarkable. Because why?
		

			Allah subhanho wa Taala is saying,
		

			the direct reflection
		

			of mine mercy. My role
		

			is that I taught you this book, the poor and I gave you the poor and you notice, I didn't say I'll
talk and poorer, I gave you the poor and fat hammock, Michael Porter Am I made you understand the
poor? No, no. Allah says Allah, Allah, He taught it to you, which means that every time you will
		

			learn something about the poor and who is the ultimate teacher who's the one that's actually
bestowing that knowledge of the poor and to you.
		

			It's a lot.
		

			You know, right now, as we're doing this live,
		

			I'm not the one teaching you, according to this verse, everything that I relate to you is by Les
permission, Allah is allowing me to relay this stuff to you, because he wants to teach you, He wants
you to have this knowledge. So we are actually being taught right now this very second we are being
taught by him so patentable with art. It's amazing. How could you not want to be a student of this
Quran? How could you not want that? How could you struggle to make time you ever hear how some
Muslims like I just I don't have time, it's really difficult. Really, unless your teacher, it's
really difficult for you to accommodate a lot himself.
		

			Oh, my goodness, if you can accommodate a lot, there is no hope for you. There's no hope. You'll
never be able to succeed in anything in life if you can't accommodate a lot.
		

			And just keep in mind, Allah says, I am a porter and not LML keytab. I didn't teach you the book a
lot calls out the poor and by its name, the poor and poor and from the word Cora is the book that is
recited.
		

			So even if you don't understand Arabic, but you know how to read the Quran, that's a love teaching
you recitation, you're learning from him.
		

			What more of an incentive does one want to at least pick up a less book once a day, at least, I've
said this before, if you are not reading the poor end, at least at least once a day, at some point,
you recite at least a portion of the poor end, you are spiritually dead that entire day. If you
don't recite a large book, at least, even if it's just a couple minutes to three minutes recite
something, you are spiritually dead that day.
		

			says if you're just a zombie, you just kind of scraped out of bed, went through your routine, and go
to sleep. That's it.
		

			For and this is the bloodline This is the like, this is the heartbeat of our lives. And only the
people who can connect with this book on a regular basis. I can tell you, I can't live without the
Quran. I can't, there is no life in my day, even when I wake up, you know, you know, till this day,
experts who you know, and and counselors, psychologists, you know, when they're sitting with you,
and you know how you'll sit with these people and you're like, I just I feel miserable. I feel like
there's no purpose to my life. I feel like there's no purpose to my day. And they'll try to talk you
through these problems. You pay them 1000s of dollars. Sometimes they'll even diagnose you with a
		

			problem. You're going through this and you're going through that here's some medication just so you
can start feeling good about yourself, take this vitamin, take, do this exercise. And you're like,
man, I have the cure to all of this stuff right in front of me. Just read the Quran
		

			and see what happens to you. Those of you that are listening to this and you struggle with them. I'm
going to ask you, I'm going to beg you, if you don't read the Quran once a day, just try it. Just
like how we go on diets for a week or two weeks or whatever you want an exercise plan for 12 weeks.
Go on a spiritual plan spiritual exercise. I'm going to read the core end from Monday to Saturday,
just seven days, just one full complete week. And I'm going to read the poor end every single day
for five minutes. That's it just five minutes.
		

			Just five minutes.
		

			And I promise you inshallah, I promise you, you by the time you get to Sunday, you will never ever
want to leave a day off again in reciting the Quran. You will not want to do you will feel the
spiritual pain and emptiness inside. Like if the next week comes along and you miss Monday you're
just gonna be like, Oh my god, I can't believe I missed that one day. I need to recite, you know the
hunger and the thirst for it will develop to such an extent. You will probably wake up in the middle
of the night and you're like I missed today. Man. Maybe if I
		

			It's two o'clock right now but I'm just I'm gonna read for like five minutes. Just gonna read
something just so I can feel satisfied. That's the core and calling that's all as mercies. Lauren
Elaine just come to it, it's okay, you missed a day, my mercy will give you another chance to repeat
and continue. I'm not giving up on you don't give up on me and I won't give up on you. So panela
		

			this is just the introduction guys so panela I lemon poor and so the next time you listen to a
YouTube video about Islam, next time you study something about the poor and next time you read next
time you do anything that connects you to Islam and allows book just remember, it is a law that is
teaching you not Muslim icon, not any other instructor. It's a lot of Allah is teaching you and that
is a reflection of Allah's mercy on you. He wants you to have or at least taste a little bit of His
mercy. The last point I'm going to say to you is this, there are lots of ways for us to see and
experience the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala. The number one most beautiful and effective and
		

			delicious and sweetest way to do that is through the water and you will taste Allah's mercy when
you're kind to people, when you help others when you donate when you give charity when you do all of
these acts of worship, acts of kindness, when you are good to your parents when you help those in
need. When you when you go and you volunteer, there are endless amounts of or endless avenues that
you can taste and experience the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala none of them equate to the mercy
of Allah that you will experience when you connect with his book. And the starting point for that is
you start off by reading a lulzbot reciting his book because why he says, unlimited attach to this.
		

			I'm going to pause there in sha Allah, let this resonate and hope and pray that in sha Allah, Allah,
it transpires into something or it can manifest into something that you can see an experience that's
meaningful, meaningful, meaningful to you in your lives in shot along with Tyler. So with that being
said, I'm going to pause here today, I hope that you guys can appreciate an A and understand the
beauty of this soda. It's just two vs subpattern love but so many wonderful things to talk about
with soda rock man. So that's our introduction today metal, this kind of metallic continue to give
us knowledge, teach us, honor us, bless us and shower his Rama upon each and every one of us along
		

			them. I mean, just a level higher and everybody take care of yourselves and I will see you again
tomorrow because de la niterider was Salam alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
