00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			We're continuing the tafsir of Surat Al Baqarah.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:30
			We
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			stopped last time
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			at
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			The Ayahs preceding this one
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			spoke
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:55
			about,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			a
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			the importance of entering into Islam
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			completely.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			That you cannot
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			choose the aspects of Islam that you're going
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			to apply and live by.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			Once you say, La ilaha illallah Muhammad Rasulullah,
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			once you submit to Allah
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			that means that you commit yourself to every
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			single aspect of Islam,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			every single statement
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			that is mentioned in the Quran and in
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			the sunnah, we commit to believing it.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			So when we are told something in the
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			grave is going to happen, we believe in
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			it. When we are told about angels, we
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			believe in it. When we are told about
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			the hereafter, we believe in it. When we
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			are told something about Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			we believe in it. And we also
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			believe in the justice
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			and the completeness
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			and the the perfection
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			of the word of Allah
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			You also commit yourself to submitting.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			Submitting means that you accept responsibility.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			All acts of worship that are upon you,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			that you deliver on them, that you do
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			them to the best of your
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			ability. Now there's going to be shortcomings.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			But
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:09
			to submit means to commit to doing these
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			acts of worship
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			and asking Allah to forgive you and repentance
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			when you fall short.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			All of Islam.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			You cannot say, I don't like this aspect
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			of Islam.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			That takes you out of the fold of
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			Islam.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			You cannot pick and choose. Some people will
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			say, I like the aspects of worship in
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			Islam, but not the governance.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			You can't do that. Or I don't like
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			political Islam.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			Or why does Islam care about how I
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:36
			buy my house?
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			What what what what what who am I
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			harming if I'm committing to interest?
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			You can't do this.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			Once Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and the messenger
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says something, we
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			accept it. That's why Allah says in this
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:51
			ayah.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			Enter into Islam wholeheartedly,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			completely.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			Then what are some of the things that
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			will prevent you from doing that? The shaydhan.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			So Allah tells us do not follow the
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:06
			steps of shaydhan.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			And what are some of the things that
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			will happen as a result if you follow
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			the shaydhan, who is our clear enemy? That
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			we will go astray? And when we go
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			astray, when did we lose out on day
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			of judgment? So Allah reminded us in the
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			following
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			ayah,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			Are they waiting? Those people that go astray,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			that follow the shaitan, that don't enter into
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			Islam wholeheartedly.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			Are you but waiting for the day Allah
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			will come?
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			And we spoke about the attribute of Allah.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			Allah will come on their judgment, and he
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			will judge between the people.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			And those that will have good, Some
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			will go to Jannah. Some will go to
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			Haafaiyah. May Allah protect us.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			Taib. Then Allah
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:48
			says,
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:51
			Ask
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			the children of Israel, the people of Banu
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:55
			Israel.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			Surah Al Baqarah,
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			a lot of time the Banu Israel are
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			referenced. In fact, in the beginning of the
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			surah, the many, many lessons that we had,
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			it was all about them. And Surat Al
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			Baqarah speaks a lot about them. And the
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			reason Allah speaks about and references the is
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			for us to take lesson from them.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			They went astray.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			They earned Allah's anger because they did this
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			and this and this and this. So don't
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			do those things.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			In other words, when Allah teaches us about
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			Islam, a lot of times it is
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			to teach us of their mistakes. Like people
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			say, a wise man learns from his mistakes
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			but a wiser man learns from other people's
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			mistakes. So what Allah tells us about to
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			be Israel is to avoid the pitfalls that
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			they fell into.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			This is why they didn't inherit the earth.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			This is why they are not the they
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			are not getting the pleasure of Allah
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			This is why a lot of them were
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			cursed. Why? Because they refused to follow. In
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			other words, they refused to
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			to completely
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			get into Al Islam.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			Allah mentions
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			Are you believing in some portions of the
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			book and denying others? Meaning,
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			are you only entering into Islam halfway?
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			This is not how we should do things.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			We should enter into Islam completely. Yahuwlullah
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:08
			says,
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			salbani Israel, ask
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			the oh, prophet of Allah, ask the people
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			of Israel, the Banu Israel. Who is Israel?
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			Israel is prophet Ya'Ub.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:18
			Israel
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			is prophet Ya'ub. And the Banu Israel are
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			the descendants of prophet Ya'ub.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			This is what Allah in Surat Al Imran
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			says,
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			That all food was
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			not prohibited. It was allowed to be except
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			that which had which,
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			Israel prohibited from himself. Who Israel here? Prophet?
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			This is why,
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			the term Israel
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			is a respectable term.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			The term Israel
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			is the name of a prophet.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			Many prophets were
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			from the descendants of Israel.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04
			Among them, his own son, Prophet
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			Yusuf.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			Among them, all the prophets of Bal Israel,
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			like Musa. Right? Like Isa, alayhi salam.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			How was Isa a descendant of Bal Israel
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			when he didn't have a father?
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			How was he a descendant of
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			of Bel Israel
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			if he wasn't if he had if he
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			didn't have a father? From which side?
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			From his mother's side. From his mother's side,
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			Mariam was El Israel.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			And that's why he's considered from the prophets
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			of Benu Israel.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			Zakariya and Yahya and others as well.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			Sal Bani Israel asked the people of Bel
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			Israel,
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			How many clear signs did you bring to
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			them?
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			Allah is teaching us
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			that
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			so many signs
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			were given to the Banu Israel.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			Those signs included miraculous signs that they saw
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			with their own eyes.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			The splitting of the sea with the provision
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			of Allah by Prophet Musa.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			The all the, plagues and the punishment that
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			was sent to the pharaoh.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			The provisions that they were getting from Allah
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			subhanahu wa ta'ala during the years where they
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:12
			were,
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			wandering. The fact that Allah would give them
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			water from a rock that Musa would hit
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			with a staff.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24
			The fact that many of them saw others
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			being revived.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			Right?
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			Allah hovered a whole mountain above them.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			And they were they saw these things.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			How many clear signs have you brought to
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:40
			them?
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			Now, the refusal to believe,
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			and the refusal
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:46
			to submit
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			and the refusal to follow the prophets
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			is a denying of a blessing Allah has
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			given you. So Allah says,
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			Whoever exchanges the blessings Allah gave them,
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			after they have received it,
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			what are these blessings that they received?
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			What is an example of the blessings that
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			the blessed has revealed, has been received? Number
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			1 is the fact that the prophets were
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:15
			sent to them.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			It's a great blessing for prophets to be
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			sent to you. Number 2, they were given
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:20
			books.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			They were given guidance.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			All of these, not to mention the the
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			the the miracles that they witnessed, all of
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			these, the blessings Allah gave them, they they
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:31
			denied all of that. They refused to submit.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			They refused to follow. And Allah says whoever
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:33
			exchanges,
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			the niyamah of Allah after it has come
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			to them,
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			Then indeed Allah is turn in His punishment.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			May Allah protect us.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			Here you learn a few things. Number 1,
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			when Allah gives you a clear sign,
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			then you must accept that and and believe
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			in it. If you reject it, then you
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			are held accountable to
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			the sending of prophets and the receiving of
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:02
			guidance.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			And this could be guidance from the prophets,
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			of course. But an example of that would
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			be someone today
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			let's say you are a Muslim,
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			but Allah has given you knowledge.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			Allah has given you more knowledge than the
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:15
			rest.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			And you know right from wrong. And you
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			know halal from haram. And you know the
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			rights of Allah. And you know what to
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			do. Is this not a niyama? Is this
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:25
			not a blessing?
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			When you don't reject that, when you don't
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			act upon it, when you don't respect it,
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			have you not exchanged
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			that? Have you not rejected that?
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			What are some of the things that will
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44
			lead someone to go astray?
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			Among them
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48
			is a love for the duniya.
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			A love for the duniya.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:56
			Because the duniya distracts you. Work and money,
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			homes and houses,
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:01
			amassing wealth, these are all distractions that distract
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02
			you from your goal.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:14
			Ayah. Allah says,
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			the life of this world
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			the life of this world
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			is made to seem glamorous
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			and beautiful to the disbelievers.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			This world
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			is not glamorous,
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
			and a Muslim is never
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			meant to look at it that way.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			This world is a test.
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			Every morsel of food that you eat, every
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43
			moment that you enjoy is a test. Will
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			you be grateful? Will you do the right
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:45
			thing?
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49
			We live in adaar that is iptila, it
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			is bala. It is a test.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			And we live
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			in this world
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			to ensure we have a good life in
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57
			the afterlife.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			That's why we are here.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			This is not the goal. This is this
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:02
			is just a
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:04
			small moment in your existence
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			where you're meant to prepare for a longer
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:07
			existence.
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			But the shaitan beautifies its world for us.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			The word zugina,
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			it has been made glamorous. Who made it
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:17
			glamorous?
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			The shaitan.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:19
			The shaitan.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			He the shaitan is the one that makes
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:26
			this world look a lot more important than
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			it actually is. Which is why if you
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			really think about it, if you give your
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			time if you give yourself time to really
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			think about this dunya,
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:33
			how long do you have?
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			60, 70 years? Less less than?
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:39
			Then you'll die,
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			and then you have an eternity waiting for
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:42
			you.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			An eternity.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			An eternity where you can be in Jannah,
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			where you can enjoy the pleasure of Allah
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			subhanahu wa ta'ala, where where Allah Almighty can
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:57
			be happy and pleased with you.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			Imagine someone says,
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			I will compromise that
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			for these 60 years.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			That person would be declared insane. Right?
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			But yet everyone almost does that.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			We are all compromising on our hereafter for
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			this dunya.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			Allah subhanahu wa'ala said, well,
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			The hereafter is better for you and everlasting.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			Right?
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			Are you choosing that which is,
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			beneath that which is lower for that which
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:34
			is better?
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:36
			It is incomparable.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38
			It is almost inconceivable
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			for someone to compromise their akhil.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			An eternity of bliss
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			for the duniya.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			But why does this happen?
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			Because it has been made what?
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			Elamorous and beautiful.
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			So the kuffar,
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			all they know is dunya. Allah says,
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			Those that do not hope in meeting us.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:11
			And they are pleased with this lowly world.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			And they find tranquility in this lowly world.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			And they are the ones who are hid
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			as it relates to our ayat.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			That shouldn't be you and I. We shouldn't
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			be heedless. We shouldn't be distracted. We shouldn't
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			be pleased with this world.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			I believe was said that Ali used to
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:28
			say,
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			Be from those the children of Al Akhirah.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:33
			Meaning,
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			let your mind be there not here.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			Ahmed Muhambal, this great imam,
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			he was extremely engaged in Ibadah and worship
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			to the point where he was I believe
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:46
			it was his children or someone said to
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			him, when will you rest?
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			And why don't you rest?
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:54
			And he said, allahi, I'm doing this to
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:54
			rest.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			I'm doing all this fasting and all this
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			praying to rest. Rest where?
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:01
			Rest in Jannah.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			So we have to really,
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			change the way we view this world.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			The life of this world has been made
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:16
			glamorous to these believers.
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:20
			And they laugh and mock.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:24
			To those who believe.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			Not only do they find the kuffar, the
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:28
			disbelievers, those that don't believe in Allah, they
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			don't believe in the prophet, they don't believe
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			in this faith, in this deen. Not only
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			do they find this world beautiful, not only
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			are they mesmerized and distracted by this world,
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			not only do they find happiness in the
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			dunya,
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			but even worse.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			They mock and laugh at those who believe.
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			Subhanallah. Allah says in Surat Al
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			Allah was talking about the the the Suratam
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			of the Quran about Quraysh and their treatment
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			of the Muslims in Makkah. That's no different.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			That's no different than what happens today.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			People are mocking for your faith. Sisters are
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			being mocked for wearing the hijab. Brothers are
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			being mocked for asking for prayer rooms. We
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			are being mocked for our values. We are
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			being and and what's ajeeb is that.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:22
			What's being mocked is the and the truth.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:30
			Those who are the
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:31
			the criminals,
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:32
			the disbelievers,
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:34
			can who they were.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			There was those who laughed at the believers.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:41
			And when the believer walks nearby at a
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:41
			hamazoon
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:43
			to paint each other and poke each other
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			look at these believers and making fun of
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			them, wink at each other, like making fun
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			of the believers. Now I want you to
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:50
			imagine in Makkah, someone
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:54
			they pray for Hamza Day, and then the
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:57
			idol worshipers, the the the the the worst
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			of the worst, drinking, committing zina, and and
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:04
			adultery, fornicating, worshiping idols, the lowest of the
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:04
			low
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			dare to mock the followers of the messengers.
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			The lowest of the low dare to mock
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			the followers of the messengers. But Allah say
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			that one day
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:16
			Allah mentions,
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			And one day
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:25
			those who believe,
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			will be laughing at the disbelievers.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			The tables will be turned on their judgment.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:34
			The tables will be turned.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			In the duniya,
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			they mocked. They didn't only mock. They tried
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:39
			to kill the messengers.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			We mentioned in Surat Al Baqarah, often when
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			messengers were being threatened,
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			the followers of the messengers were being threatened,
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			mocked and laughed at for believing,
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			for behaving the way they meant to, for
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:52
			submitting.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			But on day of judgement, the table will
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			be turned. Here Allah says,
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			This world lowly, worldly life And why am
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			I saying lowly?
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:04
			Because the word duniya
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			comes from that
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:08
			which is low.
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			That which is low. That which has not
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:12
			a lot of meaning, a lot of value.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13
			That's why it's called the duniya.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			So those that the world this world, this
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			this lowly world have been made glamorous to
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:22
			them, they mock those who believe.
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26
			When you mock someone,
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			you believe you're better than them.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			That's where mockery comes from. We're not allowed
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			to mock in Islam.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			Do not let a group among you mark
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			another group. Or a person, another person.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:43
			This person might be better than you. This
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:44
			is Haqq here.
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:47
			They are marking the believers who are a
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			1000 times better than them.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			And they are marking them because they think
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:52
			they are above them.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			We with our values,
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
			we with our shirk,
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			and our filth believe we are better than
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:58
			you.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:02
			The superiority complex that they had, Quraysh had
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			it, Fir'awn had it, and Amrud had it,
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			the Kfar today have it.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			Those who fear Allah
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:20
			and are God conscious
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			and are mindful of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:23
			The believers
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			will be above them.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			On day of judgement.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			On day of judgement, again, the tables will
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33
			be turned.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:36
			You you thought you were better than the
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:36
			believers
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			and thus you mock them.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			On day of judgement, those who have taqwa
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:43
			will be above you.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46
			They will be above you literally because they
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			will be in the highest of the high.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			Right?
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52
			Near the throne of Allah
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53
			and
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			the disbelievers, those who mocked
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			and made fun of the believers and their
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			ways, they will be as well as suffering
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			in the lowest of the low. So they
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			will be literally
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			above you and they will be also better
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:06
			than you.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			You perceived. You thought you were better than
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			them because they follow the prophets and you
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:10
			follow the shaytan.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			You thought you were better. You were not.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			But the believers are actually better.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			Waladira taqawfawwwwqahumya
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:17
			mal qiyaba.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			What is ajib isikhmanifila?
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:21
			This is very interesting.
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			Once a person submits to Allah, believes in
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			Allah, they are by definition better than the
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:27
			one who doesn't submit to Allah and doesn't
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:28
			believe in Allah. Correct?
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			Yet we don't mark. We're not allowed to
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			mark. Marking is not from the behavior of
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:34
			the believer. You don't mock the kuffar. You
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			don't mock them. You teach them. You call
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			and choose the truth. You show them mercy.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			Is mockery an Islamic artistic?
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:47
			And they are so misguided in their mockery
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			because they think they are above. Allah tells
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			us
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			Those that have taqwa, the believers will be
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54
			above them and better than them in their
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:54
			judgment.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:02
			And Allah provides immeasurably for whomever he pleases.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			And who will be provided with immeasurably?
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			The believers and those who havetaqaw. May Allah
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:07
			make us among those.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala talks to us
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11
			about
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			the beginning
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			of misguidance and how it started.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:17
			And the the the wisdom
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			and the purpose behind the the revealing of
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:23
			the Quran and the sending of messengers.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:26
			Why did Allah send messengers?
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			Why did Allah reveal books?
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			And why are some misguided? These are the
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			questions that the eye is gonna answer. Allah
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:33
			subhanahu
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			wa
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:36
			ta'ala
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:38
			says,
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			Mankind was a single community.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			They were 1 Umma.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:45
			Mankind were
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:46
			1 Umma.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			And this is referring to the fact some
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:55
			ulema'di say, this is referring to the beginning
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			of mankind, Adam and Eve, Adam and Hawa.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			And they had children
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:00
			and their progeny
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:04
			grew. And for generations, their people were upon
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:05
			guidance.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:07
			They were upon
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:10
			tawhid. They would worship Allah alone. Were they
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			perfect? They were not perfect. And nor are
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			you mentally perfect, but they were all believers,
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			and they will only worship Allah. 4 generations
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
			you'd the concept of this belief did not
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:19
			exist within humanity.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:23
			The concept of this belief did not exist
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			for how many generations? I can read that
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			Adlaha Abad is 10 generations.
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			That's 10 centuries.
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			For a 1000 years
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			the people were upon what?
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
			They were 1 umma.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:36
			Then
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38
			misguidance crept into the umma
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:42
			through the door of idolatry and shirk. The
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:43
			shaitan worked on them hard.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:47
			Right? And step by step, they inched towards
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:50
			worshiping other gods. And the moment that deviation
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			happened, the first messenger was sent which was
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			who? Prophet
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:55
			Nuh alaihis salam.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:57
			So who's the first messenger?
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:59
			Prophet
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			Nuh. Before that, how come there were no
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03
			messengers before that? There was no need because
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			the people were all upon guidance.
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			That's why Nuh is the first messenger.
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			How do you know he's the 1st messenger?
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:16
			On their judgment. On their judgment. May Allah
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:16
			protect us.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			When Allah gathers all of mankind
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:21
			and they are awaiting
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:22
			their judgment,
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			they they they will run towards different prophets
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:26
			and messengers.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:30
			Asking them to ask Allah to start their
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:30
			judgment.
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			Asking them to ask Allah to start the
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:34
			the judgment.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:36
			This is called the shafa'ah.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			So one of the prophets that they go
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:39
			to is Prophet Nuhr.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			And they say to them, You Anur,
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:45
			you are anta'uul ar Rasul. You are the
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46
			1st messenger.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			They say you were the first
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:49
			messenger. From this we learned that he is
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:50
			what? The first
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:52
			messenger, Taweeb.
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			Now, Allah says,
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:02
			Then Allah sent nabiyeena
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:03
			prophets.
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			Allah sent prophets. There's a hadith that mentioned
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			how many prophets were sent. Abu Dhayra mentions
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:09
			a 124,000
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			prophets were sent. And how many messengers?
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:13
			313.
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:14
			A
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:15
			124,000
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:17
			prophets
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:18
			and 313
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:22
			messengers. The Quran mentions about 20
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			20 and and and 22, 23
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:25
			messengers.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			Right? Messengers. Maybe a bit less are mentioned
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			in the Quran. But there were more.
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			But there were a lot more prophets. There
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			were a lot more prophets.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:40
			One of the, ways to distinguish between prophet
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			and messengers is that a prophet is is
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			is is affirms a message that came before.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:46
			He doesn't the prophets never brought their own
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:49
			books but the messengers, they would bring a
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:49
			book
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:50
			and
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:53
			prophets would then teach. And for example, prophet
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55
			Musa came with the Torah and he was
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:55
			a messenger.
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			And the prophets after that would teach the
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			Torah and spread it until Allah sent Isa
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:01
			Alai Salam.
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:02
			Right?
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06
			So they, if if if you and if,
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:10
			for example Prophet Zakariyah and Yahya, they would
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:11
			be teaching the Torah.
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:13
			Do you have a question?
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			What is your question? Why would people twist
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:20
			the truth? Why would people twist the truth
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:21
			after the truth came to them?
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			Well, there's many reasons why.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			Sometimes people would twist twist the truth
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:28
			because
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			it suits them.
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:31
			Okay?
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			So they
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:34
			wouldn't want to
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36
			follow certain acts of worship because they find
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:37
			the matter too difficult,
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			inconvenient, and they would want to take advantage
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			of that. So they would choose the truth.
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			That's one example. And there are other reasons
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:45
			as well. Sometimes they would be too arrogant.
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:45
			Sometimes
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			there were many reasons why they would.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:50
			So
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			it always starts with 1. What's your name?
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:56
			Ya'qub?
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			Yes Ya'qub started, Halas, a chain now everyone.
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:03
			Nam.
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10
			As a messenger? In which I am?
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:12
			As a messenger?
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			No. No. Just because you mentioned the Quran
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:17
			doesn't make you a messenger.
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:19
			Prophet Adam was a messenger.
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:21
			He was a prophet.
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:23
			Who was he sent to?
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:25
			Who was prophet Adam sent to?
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:29
			If the first messenger is Nur, first messenger,
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:30
			Rasul, is Noor,
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			and before him was Adam,
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			was Adam a messenger or a prophet?
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:36
			The word nevi
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:37
			is a prophet.
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			Rasul is a messenger. These two things,
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:42
			nevi and Rasul.
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:43
			Right?
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:43
			So
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:46
			when we when I said earlier
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:48
			that Nur was the first Rasul.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			Rasul. Awalu Rasul.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			That doesn't mean that before they were not
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54
			prophets. They were prophets.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:55
			Ambia,
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			Nabi.
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:58
			So we say Nabi yuallahi Adam. The the
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			prophet of Allah Adam. We don't say the
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			messenger Adam because he wasn't sent to anyone.
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:03
			Does that make sense?
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:05
			Good. The the the does that does that
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			make sense now? Good. So those are the
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:08
			2 different wordings.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:10
			Type.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:11
			Can
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:13
			I knew it?
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			Every messenger is a prophet.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:24
			But not every prophet is a messenger. That's
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			the qayda. So every messenger
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:29
			is a prophet but not every prophet is
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:29
			a
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:30
			messenger.
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			You can see that in the Quran. What
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:35
			does Allah call the prophet?
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:36
			And
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:37
			also
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:41
			Allah calls the prophet both. In fact interesting
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			interesting fa'id. Interesting benefit now that we've been
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:44
			distracted.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:46
			Interesting fa'idah.
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:50
			Oh, Allah when Allah was addressing,
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:51
			Ibrahim,
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:52
			Allah says,
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:55
			Ibraheem.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			Allah calls him by his name, Ibrahim.
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:59
			And Allah mentions,
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			Allah calls him by his name.
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:06
			Allah says,
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			Right. Allah calls them by his
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:12
			name.
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:17
			Allah calls him by his name. Allah does
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			not call our prophet by his name ever.
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			Allah always calls him
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:24
			Oh prophet of Allah.
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28
			Oh messenger of Allah. And this shows a
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:31
			degree of of of of respect that Rasool
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:34
			and the degree how Allah is addressing him.
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:36
			Allah only addresses him by his title.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:38
			All addresses him by his title. And what
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:40
			an honorable title they are, Rasul and Nibi.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:44
			Barakall Afiyikum. But yeah. So Rasul is messenger
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:45
			and Nibi is
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:47
			prophet. Barakall Afikum.
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			Kern and Nasud the people were umatan wahida.
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:50
			They were
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:51
			one community.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:54
			They were upon one faith. They were all
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			worshipers of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. That doesn't
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:57
			mean they were perfect
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			because the killing,
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:01
			the sons the 2 sons of Adam killed
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02
			each other. Right?
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:04
			So sin was happening, murder was happening, but
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			what was not happening? Kufar and Shirk was
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:07
			not happening
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:08
			until
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:09
			fa'ba'athallah,
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:11
			so Allah sent
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			nabiyeenah
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:13
			prophets
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:15
			to do what?
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:16
			Mubashireen.
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:18
			They would give galah tidings.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:21
			What is the job of the messengers and
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:22
			the prophets?
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:23
			They give
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			galah tidings. They bring good news.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:28
			They bring good news.
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:32
			And they warn as well. So what's the
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:33
			good news that they bring? And what's the
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:36
			warning? The good news is if you follow
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:38
			the guidance that we bring you, you will
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40
			receive eternal bliss and you will go to
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:41
			paradise in Jannah and Allah will be pleased
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			with you. What is the warning that they
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:45
			bring? If you don't follow that guidance that
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			we bring you, then you will be held
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:49
			accountable and be punished by the Almighty.
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:51
			So they are Mubashireen
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:52
			and Mundireen.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:56
			Allah mentioned the bashara first. Allah mentioned the
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57
			gana'a tidings first.
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:59
			Because the message of Al Islam, the message
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			of the prophets is the one that brings
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:02
			good news first. Right?
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:04
			Right. And this is very important.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			But it also warns you
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:08
			to bring good news and warning.
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:13
			And Allah sent down with them, with those
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:14
			prophets, the
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:16
			book,
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:18
			scripture.
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:21
			With the truth. So two things. Prophets and
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:22
			these prophets came with
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:23
			with scripture.
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:26
			Prophet Ibrahim came with scripture. Prophet Musa came
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			with scripture. Prophet Isa came with scripture. Prophet
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30
			Muhammad came with the Quran.
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:37
			Why? Why did they bring the scripture?
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:40
			The people were all upon guidance,
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42
			then they would deviate it. Then some of
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:43
			them were misguidance,
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:45
			and some of them were unguidance. Some of
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:48
			them stayed upon the truth, and others
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:49
			deviated.
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:52
			The prophets came to to to solve this
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:52
			disagreement.
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:56
			Are the ones who worship one god right
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:58
			or the ones who commit idol worship? The
		
00:29:58 --> 00:30:00
			ones who go for marriage or the ones
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			that commit adultery? The ones who want halal
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:05
			or those who want who's right?
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:10
			The ummah is always disagreeing. Mankind is always
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:11
			today we are disagreeing.
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:14
			Right? This is right. This is wrong.
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:15
			This is correct. This is incorrect.
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18
			The job of the books and the messengers
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			was to tell, okay,
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:23
			these are the things that are right,
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:25
			and these are the things that are wrong.
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:29
			Biza'ik Allah says, wa'an salama'ahu Allah sent with
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:29
			them
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			the book, the scripture, with the truth.
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:43
			To judge between the people in their disagreements.
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:44
			In their
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:45
			disagreements.
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:49
			Interest is good. No. It's bad. Let's go
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:50
			back to the book. What does it say?
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:53
			It says it's bad. Does that make sense?
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			Whatever people disagree with
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:59
			is referred back to the prophets
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:00
			and their message
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:02
			and that will clarify
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:05
			the truth from the falsehood, the haqq from
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:07
			the party. The soul. In other words, the
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:09
			judge, the hakim is the prophet and the
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:10
			messengers.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:23
			After the the book came, after the scriptures
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:26
			came, after the prophets came and they clarified
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:30
			idol idolatry, worshiping other gods, disbelief is wrong,
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32
			was right is to wahid and belief,
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:35
			sin, don't sin, rather obey. All these things
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:35
			were clarified.
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:40
			Allah says, yet it was only those
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:42
			to whom it was given
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:45
			the book and the message.
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			After it clear science has come to them,
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:52
			did they disagree in it because of the
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:53
			jealousy and rivalry?
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:56
			So why now it should be in other
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:58
			words, it should be very easy.
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:01
			People who are upon guidance
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:04
			all of humanity was upon guidance.
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:06
			And then
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:07
			they disagreed
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:10
			because of the misguidance of the shaydawn.
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:13
			Then they became 2 groups, believers, disbelievers.
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16
			Right? They became 2 camps, if you will.
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18
			Allah then sent messengers to clarify it.
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:21
			Books to teach. This is the truth. This
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:22
			is the way you should go back to.
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:24
			Then once the messages come,
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:26
			once the guidance arrives, it should be very
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:28
			easy. Khallass, okay, now we know what's right.
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:30
			Everyone come back to the right side and
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:32
			we'll continue being 1 Umba.
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:34
			Why didn't that happen?
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37
			Why didn't when the guidance came when prophet
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:39
			Ibrahim came with the guidance, why didn't people
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:41
			say, okay. Thank you very much. We believe,
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:43
			we submit, everyone let's be on Umma again.
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:45
			Why didn't that happen?
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:47
			What caused it? Allah
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:50
			tells us here. Allah tells us here, Allah
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:51
			says
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:55
			It was a rivalry,
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:57
			jealousy
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:58
			between them.
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:00
			Abu Jahl
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:04
			couldn't take following prophet Muhammad,
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:05
			because that
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:07
			would compromise his dunya,
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:08
			his
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:09
			status.
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:11
			What did he earlier say? Zuyanaliliyinikafaru
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:14
			al hayas duniya. What has been made glamorous
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:16
			to the Kufar? This worldly life. Abu Jahl
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:18
			couldn't take it. He was the chief of
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:20
			Quraysh. He was the chief of his tribe.
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22
			He can't if I believe in Muhammad, I'm
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:24
			gonna lose all that I have. Today you
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:26
			have some people that will say, I agree
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:27
			with the message of Islam
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:28
			but
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:30
			If I become Muslim But
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:34
			what's happening here is you are choosing
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:37
			yourself and your desires over the truth.
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:41
			You're compromising your hereafter for that.
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:42
			So Allah mentions,
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:46
			And then Allah mentions,
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:52
			Then Allah
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:54
			guided those who believed.
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:59
			Allah guided those who believed to the truth
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:01
			that people have differed over. Some examples,
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:05
			The Jews and the Christians differed over Ibrahim
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:06
			alaihis salam.
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:09
			They said Ibrahim was a yahood. No. Ibrahim
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:12
			was a Christian. Allah says in the Quran,
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:12
			guidance.
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:20
			Ibrahim wasn't a Yehudi. He wasn't an Asrani.
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:21
			He was Muslim.
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:22
			Hanif. Right?
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:25
			They differed over the nature of Jesus alaihis
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:26
			salam.
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:29
			The yahoots said, he's a a child out
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:30
			of wedlock. He's not even a prophet. We
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:32
			don't believe in him. We deny him. So
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:33
			the Jews, they don't believe in who? In
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:36
			prophet? Isa. They deny him. And what did
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:38
			the Christians do? They turned him into a
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:41
			son of God or God Almighty Himself. Right?
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:41
			Misguidance.
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:45
			Allah and the Quran comes and Allah guided
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:46
			the believers to the Haqq. He is an
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:47
			honored
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:49
			prophet of Allah.
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:53
			Right? The truth came and Allah guided. Another
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:55
			one is the Friday. The day of Friday.
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:57
			The yahud, they
		
00:34:58 --> 00:35:01
			took Saturday as their day and the the
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:04
			the the, the nasa'ala took Sunday. And Allah
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:06
			mentions that the most blessed day the prophet
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:09
			said is the Friday and Allah blessed this
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:11
			ummah and guided this ummah, that fellow prophet
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:12
			to the best day in the week.
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:15
			Meaning, there are so many things that we
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:16
			have been guided to
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:17
			because
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:20
			the
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:23
			answers and the guidance and the truth comes
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:25
			with the messengers of the prophets. I'll give
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:26
			you guys a general rule.
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:29
			We know our history.
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:31
			There are if you go back in history,
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:32
			you know,
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:33
			if you if
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:35
			all the way I mean there are figures
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:36
			that we people venerate,
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:38
			historical figures that people talk about. You can
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:41
			go as bad people, good people. Right? You
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:43
			can go very recent history, people say. Or
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:44
			you have,
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:45
			figures like,
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:48
			Nelson Mandela or you have figures like, this
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:50
			person or that person. You have figures like
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:55
			Malcolm x, who's a Muslim, and you have
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:57
			Martin Luther King, who's a Christian. And you
		
00:35:57 --> 00:35:59
			go further back, and then you go further
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:01
			you go further back, and you have kings
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:03
			and and and and and queens and and
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:06
			and presidents and people and and writers and
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:09
			historians and scientists, and the Tariq goes further
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:10
			than that. You know, let's go all the
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:12
			way back. You have people like Aristotle and
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:13
			and and and,
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:15
			Plato. And you have you can go further,
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:18
			Alexander the Great. But throughout history, during these
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:20
			times, Heraclius, all these people that you have,
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:22
			you know, Roman kings, you know, Caesar the
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:26
			Caesar of Rome, historical figures, politicians, and scientists,
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:29
			and writers, and authors, and peep
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:30
			throughout humanity.
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:32
			Right? You can go ancient Egypt. You can
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:34
			go Mesopotamia, if you wanna go even further.
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:36
			History is written. Right? It's there.
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:39
			In within this history,
		
00:36:40 --> 00:36:42
			you also have the history of religion.
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:45
			The history of religion and faith.
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:47
			And as far as mankind can look back,
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:50
			you will always find people that were calling
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:52
			towards a message and a faith. The prophets.
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:56
			So and there was always 2 groups. There
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:58
			was always 2 groups.
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:00
			Very simple. Allah tells us here in the
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:01
			in the ayah, there are 2 groups.
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:04
			Those who followed the prophets.
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:05
			Those who rejected the prophets.
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:08
			Right? And today you have those 2 groups.
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:10
			You can say there are a 1,000 groups,
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:11
			but in the end they're just 2.
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:14
			Are you in the group that followed the
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:14
			messengers?
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:15
			Or those that
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:17
			deny the messengers?
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:19
			And remember what we said last lesson. And
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:20
			Allah says,
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:23
			enter into Islam
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:24
			fully.
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:25
			So
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:29
			the message of the prophets, the morality of
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:31
			the prophets, the akhlaq of the prophets, the
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:33
			tawhid of the prophets,
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:35
			the prayer of the prophets. It all has
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:37
			to be that that's the team you want
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:38
			to be on.
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:39
			That's the team you want to be on.
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:41
			And this goes with everything.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:43
			Right?
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:44
			So,
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:45
			someone says to you, today we live in
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:47
			the modern world, we are not in need
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:48
			of religion.
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:50
			Right?
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:53
			We say this is the time you need
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:54
			religion the most.
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:56
			Depression is an almost as as as an
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:59
			all high. Sadness and anxiety is at an
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:02
			all high. People have no purpose. People don't
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:04
			understand who they are. People don't even know
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:07
			what gender they are. People don't know,
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:10
			what's right and what's wrong. Values are,
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:12
			they don't know where to get their values
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:14
			from. They are constantly contradicting each other. There's
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:16
			no structure to their life. There's no guidance
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:18
			to their life. There's no happiness in their
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:20
			lives. There's no purpose in their life. They
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:21
			are desperate
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:22
			for guidance.
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:24
			Desperate for guidance.
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:26
			Because we need this guidance like we need
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:26
			oxygen,
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:29
			We are we need it. That's why Allah
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:30
			gave it to us. That's how we understand
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:32
			life. It makes sense.
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:37
			Now, if every debate that happens,
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:40
			people will say now right now in the
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:42
			World Cup, why are they not allowing us
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:44
			alcohol? Why are they not allowing us the
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:45
			rainbow flag? Why are they not allowing us
		
00:38:45 --> 00:38:47
			this or the other? It's very simple.
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:49
			There's a line in the sand.
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:51
			We wanna follow the prophets.
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:54
			Do you want to know the story of
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:55
			Ruth
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:57
			We are all familiar with the story of
		
00:38:57 --> 00:38:57
			Ruth.
		
00:38:58 --> 00:38:59
			Right? If you had to choose now, which
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:00
			camp do you want to be on? The
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:02
			camp of Lot that was saved or the
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:02
			other camp?
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:04
			What would you say?
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:06
			You wanna be on the camp of the
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:06
			prophet
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:08
			because that's the truth.
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:10
			That is that that that's the hack. It's
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:12
			very simple. It's not hard.
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:14
			Quraish,
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:16
			idolatry versus tawhid. Which camp do you wanna
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:18
			be on? Tawhid.
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:20
			Right? Marriage, zina. Which country do you wanna
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:21
			be on? Marriage.
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:22
			Right?
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:25
			Interest or honest trade? Which one do you
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:27
			wanna be on? Honest trade. The message of
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:28
			the prophet is clear.
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:30
			And there's a line in the sand. Don't
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:32
			and and we need to make it very
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:34
			clear that not only should we be comfortable
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:35
			in our side.
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:38
			Look behind I I am in this this
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:40
			side of the aisle and I look this
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:41
			way and I have all the prophets from
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:43
			Ibrahim and Issa and Rasool Allah and Muhammad
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:45
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, the great companions.
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:46
			I'm very comfortable here.
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:48
			People are saying, no. No. No. No. You
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:49
			need to come to this side. You say,
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:51
			actually brothers and sisters, you need to come
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:52
			here if you wanna be saved. And we
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:56
			need to be honest, clear about the message.
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:58
			We are in
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:01
			we are following the way to the best
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:03
			of our ability. We're not perfect. The way
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:04
			of the prophets.
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:05
			Their values,
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:06
			their morality,
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:08
			their way of life.
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:11
			Where do we get it from? Scripture.
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:14
			What did Allah say?
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:19
			That the people were 1 single community. 1
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:20
			ummah upon guidance. We want to be part
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:21
			of that ummah.
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:24
			Then what happened? Allah sent messengers and prophets.
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:25
			We want to be with those prophets and
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:26
			messengers.
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:27
			With them Allah sent
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:30
			books and scriptures. We wanna read, understand,
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:33
			and follow those scriptures. Why? Because they came
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:34
			from Allah and Allah was best for us.
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:37
			Very simple. Right? Then the people differed over
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:38
			and some rejected.
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:40
			Out of jealousy, hatred, anger, whatever you want
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:41
			to call it. We do not want to
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:44
			be among those. The prophets were giving good
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:45
			news, Mubashireen, wamunzireen,
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:48
			and they were warning. We want the good
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:50
			news. We want the warning. It's very simple,
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:53
			ikhwanfilah. This is our faith. We need to
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:55
			be proud of our faith. We need to
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:57
			follow our faith. And more importantly, we need
		
00:40:57 --> 00:40:58
			to call others towards
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:00
			it. We need to call others towards it.
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:02
			Right? And one time I was having a
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:03
			discussion with someone that wasn't a Muslim, and
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:04
			I asked him,
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:06
			who are the most celebrated people in history?
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:10
			Who are the most celebrated people in history?
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:12
			They they are prophets,
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:16
			and saints and religious people. It's very simple.
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:19
			Maryam, one of the most celeb celebrated human
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:20
			beings to have ever lived.
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:23
			Maryam mentioned in the book of Allah, mentioned
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:25
			in the scriptures, the mother of a prophet,
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:28
			Baeib. She used to cover up.
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:32
			She used to cover up. So when a
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:35
			woman cover up, they're following the most celebrated
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:37
			human being, one of the most celebrated people
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:38
			on this Earth.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:41
			Right? Mariamat Al Adra. Right? The pure.
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:44
			Whom Allah blessed and praised and made a
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:45
			whole chapter after.
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:48
			When when when they ask us,
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:51
			why why do you grow your beard? Rasulullah
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:53
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam had a thick beard.
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:55
			Right? The man the greatest man whom Allah
		
00:41:55 --> 00:41:56
			has created.
		
00:41:57 --> 00:41:58
			That's who we are following. We have to
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:00
			have that sense of pride and honor.
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:04
			It's it's it's an honor to be among
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:07
			these. And you read you read the ayats.
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:08
			Right? And you come across
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:09
			what's kulfilkitawismail
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:10
			noqanaasdiqan
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:13
			Nabiya. Allah mentions about Ismail that he used
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:15
			to pray. This great prophet of Allah, the
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:16
			son of the son of Ibrahim used to
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:18
			pray. They I'm gonna pray. I wanna I
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:19
			wanna be like him.
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:20
			They are our heroes,
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:22
			our role models, and this is the mentality
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:24
			that we have to preach and teach to
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:26
			people the way of the prophet. I'm gonna
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:26
			conclude there, InshaAllah.
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:28
			We'll continue next week.
